i wanted to understand (and let everyone understand) the froyo wildfire bootloader and its other security details, so that someone will root the wildfire finally. Everything needs to be done by sharing the security loop holes of wildfire.
its not an easy task. but i dont really wanted to wait further for rooting.
any suggestions, comments and complements are widely accepted.
everyone who wants to root wildfire share ur information here.
whatever the information u know, post it here
lets get it done.
No offense, but, this is such a pointless thread. Why don't you start by telling us what all you know about the new Bootloader? (Technicalities). If it were so easy, I am sure someone would have done it already.
I'm a newbie and will learn to do that. I posted this thread to share information of wildfire bootloader. If everyone shares whatever he knows, then I'm sure that finally someone roots it. That's the beauty of sharing and unrevealing things. I believe the persons who root and develop apps are also once new bies. So I would like people to support this thread. There s nothing that can be undone. Only its a matter of time. So try to share.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Moved to general.
I agree that sharing information is vital to accomplishing mutual goals but asking people for general info about the bootloader or general advice about the root process is not development...hence I moved the topic to general.
Good luck and I hope you are able to learn enough to achieve your goal...that's what XDA is all about.

a little bit of help maybe
there are two things that we can aim to achieve root on our widlfires . .
1. downgrade the Hboot to rootable versions (1.01 to 0.80 for eg) reported successful in another htc device in which i don't remember what it was
2. try to achieve root with the 1.01 Hboot instead (which seems to be harder )
do not ask me about the technicalities of this options as i am no developer like i said, just trying to help
yes downgrading wildfire HBOOT 1.01 to 0.80 will make rooting easier, but there is a more chance of bricking.
i remember the other phone which downgraded HBOOT was desire z. watch out this link,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
in that process, observe the path
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.33.405.5
someone said this on xda,
I own a HTC Desire Z, and I have downgraded my software including Hboot using this method .
I have tried the same thing on my girlfriend wildfire and I managed to obtain temporary root, but when I tried to change "misc_version" to 1.24.405.1 I got this error:
Code:
# /data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 1.24.405.1
--set_version set. VERSION will be changed to: 1.24.405.1
Patching and backing up partition 17...
Error opening input file.
I know that this files are specific for Desire Z, psneuter worked only after I have downloaded from somewhere else (I don't remember where), but maybe someone will manage to edit "misc_version" and make it work on wildfire, then it will be possible to downgrade everything including H-boot.
so if we r working on downgrading the HBOOT, then our target will be to change the version of the "misc_version" to 1.24.405.1
i would prefer to work on downgrading the HBOOT rather than rooting the newer HBOOT. because, if once we have successfully downgraded the HBOOT, we can root, then unroot, then re-root anytime without any limitations.
Lol, its not a problem of patching the HBOOT. The problem is, overwriting the current HBOOT with a patched one. That requires a vulnerability/exploit, which are generally hard to find.
edit: posted this without fully reading the thread, i see you're looking at downgrading as well. what i said is still valid though.
tell me about exploit / vulnerability
hey are u sure it is not an issue of patching HBOOT. is it only the issue with overwriting the original HBOOT with a patched one. pls reply
and what is meant by vulnerability or exploit in this process. pls describe it.
on march 18th 2011, unrevoked released source for an exploit (zysploit exploit) in 2.2 using github. im giving u the link of it here.

Yes I'm sure about patching HBOOT. I'm currently using a patched 1.01.1000 HBOOT S-OFF. You should really know what a vulnerability/exploit is before getting into this stuff. Google is your friend. You can't go from total noob to HBOOT exploiter directly.
AFAIK zysploit does not help if your bootloader is completely locked down.
edit: oh and i didnt mean that you ARE a total noob, i said that because you were saying everyone was a noob at some point (which is true, but there IS a learning curve)
im sorry for going into the details of u. but pls let me know this.
i have seen ur phone details on this thread like below.
Phone: HTC Wildfire
HBOOT - AlphaRev 1.01.1000 S-OFF
Recovery - Clockworkmod 3.0.2.4
Radio: 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
ROM: [2.3.3] Locally built CyanogenMod 7 with Darktremor Apps2SD
SDCard: SanDisk 4GB Class 4 (512MB EXT).
urs HBOOT is 1.01 and is S-OFF. and then there is alpharev, which works with rooted phones.
i dont understand really, how a HBOOT 1.01 with S-OFF is rooted and then alpharev is made used. i have seen some others peoples phone details to be exactly like this.
have u used xtc clip to make S-OFF. if it is so, then i heard that u must downgrade to the HBOOT 0.80 to make the phone rooted. also heard that alpha rev is not yet compatible with wildfire. let me know something if u r willing to share.
and google search for exploit gives irrelated data. do u know any specific link to learn about exploits.

The patched HBOOT by AlphaRev is v1.01.1000. However, stock 1.01.1000 CANNOT be replaced by any known methods. AlphaRev replaced my stock 0.80.0002 with their 1.01.1000 PATCHED HBOOT. No, I have NOT used an XTC Clip. And no, only people who have no clue what s-off is would downgrade to 0.80.x to root after s-off. When you're s-off, fastboot lets you flash a custom recovery, which lets you flash a rooted ROM. Done.
A test version of AlphaRev has existed for ages for Wildfire. Just not released, though it should be released soon.

hboot versions
As far as now we have 3 versions of hboot. Making a note of them below along with the associated radio (in official roms)
1st version: hboot 0.80.0002 and Radio_13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31 (at the time of phone manufacture)
2nd version: hboot 0.80.0007 and Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 (in august or later)
3rd version: hboot 1.01.0002 and Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10 (came with froyo update in december 2010 or later)
Based on different regions, the hboot may slightly vary in the last number like 0.80.0002 and 0.80.0003
So, remember that. And the above versions are for ASIA---INDIA.

that link doesnt mean that wildfire now has temporary root.
that link means that wildfire with 2.1 can be rooted whereas wildfire with 2.2 is in a temporary unrootable stage, which will be rooted in future. same applies to htc aria. watch out there is "temporary" even to aria also.
htc aria got updated to official froyo in feb 2011, and like wildfire, aria is also yet to be rooted.
so presently wildfire and aria are the phones eagerly waiting to get rooted.
and i wanted to mention something about htc legend.
this htc legend (unlike wildfire and aria), got rooted in a very short time.
htc legend and htc wildfire both got updated to official froyo almost at the same time. but in the 1st week of jan 2011, legend got root access. legend devs managed to downgrade from official froyo to rooted hboot 1.01 eclair. its there in the legend forums. maybe it can help someone to understand wildfire rooting. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894465
wildfire with 2.1 (older hboot) is rooted by some processes like unrevoked, paulO'Brien process, and etc.
now can we expect those teams to release the source code of those processes.
once if it is done, i think rooting will be made opensource just like android operating system. almost every android phone will be rooted and great android development follows. what do u say

here's what i think: you should read. all of your questions are answered somewhere or the other already. source code of NAND exploits WILL NOT be released, because that would enable HTC to patch the vulnerability, which they have already done anyway. and, these exploits only apply to HTC bootloaders, not all android phones. meh. each manufacturer -if they choose to do so- locks their bootloader IN THEIR OWN way.

If the source code of those exploits are released, HTC will patch it up with an updated bootloader, like they did with the HBOOT that came with OTA Froyo update. Plus, every manufacturer have different bootloaders on their phones. For example, exploits that work on HTC's bootloaders don't work on others. Same goes for rooting, different phones require different method of doing it.
The reason why it's almost impossible to root is that the manufacturer, in this case, HTC, decided to lock the bootloader. That's what I say.
TL;DU The exploit used to root that worked with Eclair (HBOOT 0.8) doesn't work with Froyo (HBOOT 1.01) anymore because HTC patched it.

Right. Im aware that if source code of a rooting process is revealed, HTC will patch it and make it won't work.
im aware just changing a version of bootloader by htc will not make any rooting process stop work, unless they have patched the previous exploits.
but my way of thinking here is completely different.
Let them further patch their bootloaders. But, tell me who is going to make a second official update. I, personally won't make any other official update. and at this point of time, i dont think any wildfire user, who is eagerly waiting to get the phone rooted, will make a 2nd official update. even after waiting for 4months just to get rooted, if a wildfire user makes a 2nd official update, then i dont know what to call him/her.
its pretty clear that wildfire users willing to get rooted will not make any other official updates. and those who are not willing to get rooted (at this point of time) will continue to make updates, and get their bootloader locked up, of which i expect no one bothers.
but i wanted to know if it is the same exploit that roots different htc phone models.
if the same exploit is rooting different htc phones, then my arguement to reveal the source code makes no sense. i agree and i give up.
but the exploits for rooting different htc devices are different, then my arguement to reveal the source code makes some sense.
i think htc HBOOT also has source code. what if some unloyal member of htc reveals the source code, so that it becomes easy to root.

wow you really have no clue do you? the HBOOT can be easily disassembled using any disassembler. people have gone through it and found that the old hole/weakness is NO LONGER THERE. If there's no weak point, what will they attack? even with the source code they can't do anything.

Yes u r right about me. I thought that the source code will atleast tell us the way of approach of the process. So here u tell me that the way of approaches to root via 2 different exploits is completely different. So everytime the HBOOT gets patched, then we should seek a complete different way to exploit it. Am I correct.

I've tried asroot2 and some of the other Behold2/etc. rooting guides, but when I run this:

thats the same thing we get on the droid with this. Might want to check other forums, as most people that get the cliq are not gonna check xda, at least i wouldnt think they would. The owners of the Droid have our own forums now, as well as a couple Google waves on the subject of rooting our device and an irc channel.

was going to start a thread to put the link for the source code, but since you already have it, i'll put the link here for other people to stumble across.
https://opensource.motorola.com/sf/frs/do/viewSummary/projects.cliqdext/frs
I'm not to familiar with linux or source codes and such. But someone had mentioned in another forum I came across that the source code may have a clue about gaining root. Maybe its in how the programing would interact with the SPL? Does the O/S need some kind of permission from the SPL to run with the hardware? It is the SPL that is blocking/locking down root right? So if the OS needs ROOT to be able to run, then shouldn't there be some code in the source that ask's the SPL for permission for root? And if so, once we have that lil' bit o' code, it can be ran via a script and/or ADB? Like trick the SPL into thinking its the O/S asking for ROOT?
Many of us do have the CLIQ. I would be more than happy to be both a guinea pig as well, and donate $ to whomever can figure this out. The extra RAM on the CLIQ and the glass screen make it so much nicer than the G1 + MyTouch, pending it ever gets rooted...

I've been trying to follow the CLIQ root as closely as possible.

im so with this guy i need apps to sd on my click lol i think we all do my internal memory is [email protected]!!!! im excited to read on !
state of the root address, AFAIK
A guy has an image the equivalent of the dreamimg.nbh used to root g1s recovery mode looks for this file and will apply it if found automaticly.
He said its rooted and ready to run, the difference is with the g1 we had the developer keyset which we replaced the original one on that came with our phones so they would ignore OTA updates (since the keys don't match) and so they would take updates that are signed with the PUBICLY available keyset the OTA keyset we don't have...
So to get to the problem, the rooted update can't be applied unless the "moto keyset" gets leaked or a developers keyset exists and it is possible to change it with the secured version of fastboot, which it seems is also the reason goldcard exploits (and others) didn't work.
Does Moto offer a "developers" cliq? Id assume not or we would have the keyset, but I dunno if the keyset is unavailable or if there is a problem in using the key to sign the package?
Anyway that's how I see it with all the searching I've done about this topic, I would also give up all the blurbloat for a stock cyanogen googglyfone.

reroot your cliq, defang the moto update.zip by removing recovery.img and boot.img from the zip file before flashing, all worries should be gone.

This post for anyone who knows how to root the new updated Rogers HTC Magic with the new:
32A
HBoot - 1.76.0010
Radio - 6.35.10.18
Please post any comments or suggestions if they are applicable.
Thank you.
Rogers HTC Magic (32A)
HBoot - 1.76.0010
Radio - 6.35.10.18
I'm in the same boat. Updated my phone with the Rogers updater, and 1.76.0010 seems to be a perfected SPL. I'm going to attempt the gold card method once I get the necessary hardware this weekend. I'm just concerned I might brick my phone, since all the gold card tutorials are pretty old...
+1
Any results?
Diddo, same problem. Tried the "One Click Root", no joy.
I thought that the data connection issue was b/c of the new radio so I foolishly listened to Rogers. Last time I make that mistake.
I am also in dire ned of a method to root this, or even reverse Rogers....
Maybe try the full version of the Relenless Rooter plus (the one for perfected SPL) software? It seems that 1.76.0010 is a perfect SPL.
Thankfully, I read all over the web and decided not to use the security patch that Rogers suggested and did not update. I kept the 1.33.0009 SPL and was able to use the normal Relenless Rooter software. Don't know it the full software will work for the 1.76.0010 SPL but why don't give it a try.
i'm pretty sure it has already been tried, and doesn't work
i too, am in the same boat
rogers kind of bullied us into this update, and i feel really stupid for falling for it.
i hope someone is working on a fix, tho i am yet to read one post saying that someone is.
Not to be mean or rude or a troll, but there were several warnings against updating with the official RUU.
In fact the "Rogers Mandatory Update Thread" many people mentioned many times to just wait till it was rooted then flash the rooted ROM.
But some people had to be hasty...

Yes and no. What do you expect when Rogers cut off your data if you don't update. If you went to Android forums or here, you'll find what kind of saga people with rooted phones went in order to obtain data back.
So, at that time, people with the original cupcake had three choices: Root the phone and go through curse droid's complicated process to get his rom, root and find another Rom + patch so as to trick Rogers into believing that the phone has been updated, or just go ahead and flash the official rom (and then hope someone can root it).

Complicated procedure? You are mixing up two methods that made it possible to keep root. For cursor, all u needed to do was flash spl and radio, then his Rom, that's it. There is another method that allows u to keep original radio and. Spl, this one uses a script after applying a new rom. Just giving the facts, I do feel sorry for those that jumped the gun though, i was really close myself

Rogers cut off my data. I rooted phone and applied CursorSense ROM and now i'm good.
I would be happy to help any Roger customers who want to apply this ROM. The steps are pretty straight forward as long as you have some computer knowledge.

That's the reason for this thread. The update includes a new radio and no developer have found a way around it. Maybe the main developers (aka chefs) have moved on to newer and more exciting devices, like the Nexus One.

It's the SPL that's perfected. Not the radio. And most devs for the 32A are still here. It's mostly G1/Dream devs namely Cyanogen who have moved on to the Nexus One.

You are right about the SPL. I meant that too. I mixed Radio and SPL because Rogers is scanning for the new radio even for those who have root, as the developers page show.
Anyway, best of luck to those who upgraded and got the perfected SPL. Maybe someone can ask a favor from one of the developers?
Some help with rooting the 32A magic from rogers
Already asked for help via PM, no dice. I suspect that after the update the devs are inundated with requests. I'm happy to pay for someone to figure this out, but don't really know who to approach. Anyone?
So still no luck on anyone rooting this update... This is taking a lot longer then I thought it would. I only did the update because I was sure someone would be willing to jump right on and root this new SPL but no dice.

If we dont get root within the month then I'm calling Rogers and complaining to them about random misc stuff that I'll make up about the phone to get rid of it and get a new(better) phone.
Just a little video I made. I signed up to XDA this morning with a unrootable Wildfire running 2.2.
That same phone is now running a rooted custom rom! Thanks guys!

Although this is good, people are wanting to complete the task without xtc clip due to price and individuals only needing out for a single handset.

I know. It's a shame that I had to source an xtc clip to enable me to install something on a phone I paid £150 for...I got 2 actually for testing purposes!
I own the device yet HTC decide what I do with it? Anyway... that's for another thread.

You will still need to S-OFF your Wildfire using an XTC Clip. Else, it is pointless.
On hindsight, OP, it would be better if you add this in the main post in big bold letters, people will be be expecting DIY Software solutions here.
When it search for informations of the phone it says "connection error"
can anybody help me ??

why didnt you just flash a recovery from the bootloader? i found no need to downgrade i just went into bootloader and flashed the p4img.zip booted into recovery and flashed cm7 had it done withing 5 minuites without downgrading or rooting
People are looking for freeware software solution to root the newer wildfire. Not with an hardware solution like xtc clip.
ok. the video tutorial is fine.

and even then, now there is a better option after making s-off, as said in the previous post (except for the file name there should be PC49IMG.ZIP)
-just s-off by xtc clip
-install the clockworkmod custom recovery by PC49IMG.ZIP process (that zip file is somewhere in the forum)
-thats all. U can install any custom rom u want
Hmm, I look at this as a guide how to unlock NAND on your wildfire thread, and as that it's fine. Beside that it clearly states in the topic that xtc clip is used. So this is a XTC CLIP guide.
So those of you taking about free rooting, would you please take your business into some "why have unrevoked not rootet my phone free yet".
I see it so many places if some person gets in and talks about xtc clip in an unrevoked thread, he gets the message that he's off topic.
I'm sorry gentlemen but here those persons talking about Unrevoked and free root is actually off topic.
Hello
Maybe I am a dummy(newbie for sure) but I was reading and experimenting for 12hrs on google, xda etc for how to root my wildfire and nothing.
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-1.01.0001

I have the PC49IMG.ZIP file, could anyone please write me step by step instruction how to -install the clockworkmod custom recovery by PC49IMG.ZIP process (that zip file is somewhere in the forum)
When I bought my wildfire it had 2.1 but I wanted to play rush poker which needs froyo and I didnt care for root and updated (but this update was prety nonsense) then I started reading and understood that I need root to overclock my phone to run rush poker. So recently I payd 20€ to get my s-off and the man said I now flash unofficial, but totoday I was sitting for 12hrs and only thing I get, my head head will blow, please help.
Thanks

WOOHOO!!! Alot of struggle but I made it, I am happy human now.
Thanks anyway!
Hi all there is a single way of installing 2.2.1 rooted and recovery in one hit.
If you look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057524
you'll seem some PC49IMG.zip files i made with everything done for you.
I made them so it was easy for people that don't want a long list of do this and that you just put the file onto the SDCard reboot to the nice hboot loader and select yes when it asks for update.
It all works with no issues i test them myself after i made them.
Its the full hog, System,Data,Recovery,Boot on both images!
Here is a complete guide to generate a goldcard. It is very straight forward.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8105075&postcount=42
Hope this helps
If your phone was really S-off by xtc clip. The CID should also changed to 1111.
In that case, together with the wildfire goldcard, u flash with the 2.1 offical rom (the one with .exe instead of zip and flash it).

Hi, this is my first post. I bought a wildfire as my friend had one with mod7 on it, which looked smart. Didnt realise until after I bought one that the wildfires running android 2.2 seem impossible to root! After reading lots of bullsh*t threads I thought it was impossible. Until i finally managed to root mine and install mod7!
You have to get s-off to start with, which i did at my local market man, who used his XTC clip. I believe, like it or not, this is the only way at the moment to s-off a wildfire running 2.2.1. Once this is done i followed this guide which downgrades to 2.1 then roots the wildfire using an old version of unrevoked, then upgrades to 2.3 rom. Hope this helps someone else....
-- you'll have to google as im not allowed to post links...
google "security xploded wildfire jailbreak"
and the top link there should be the security xploded website with the guide i followed.

Sorry, but, using an XTC Clip on the 2.2.1 Wildfire to get S-OFF and then Root is a process which was known a very long way back. The sticky thread here shows it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939801
What people want is a free software based solution, much like Unrevoked for Android 2.1, which is yet impossible.
Ah well, this is the only technique which i could ever get to actually work!
Hi all Wildfire owners
AlphaRev X Team says that HTC Buzz/Wildfire HBOOT 1.01 S-OFF is Coming Soon so let's hope that it will be out fast
http://youtu.be/mPNpqR-Y5ac
But is this mean the device is rooted or will need more work to do ?
I wish alpharev good luck, still waiting for S-OFF for my wildfire , but at the rate they're going, all the devices that will be getting s-off, won't be used that much and not many ppl will care anyway lol.
Still, i'd like to see some metamorphing happening on my wildfire ^_^, can't wait, i have paitience
although i don't blame them, they ARE doing it for free =)
Patience
Its been coming soon for quite some time :|

Never mind. Thought alpharev x will be the same as alpharev. Don't know about alpharev x. Let us hope it doesn't require root for making s-off.
But the result will be something like "ALL OR NONE". If it doesn't require root, then it is the complete solution. And if it requires root, it will be nothing untill wildfire gets rooted.

Yes he confirmed it just now. That was reliable and I'm starting to believe it now. That's really good.
Hope alpharev x comes soon and gives freedom to wildfire.

AlpharevX will not require permroot. It will require temproot via psneuter/gingerbreak (integrated).
And no, it has not 'been coming soon for some time'. AlpharevX is the first announcement about the possiblity to overcome HBOOT 1.x
AlphaRev in it's original form never could, nor was it ever stated it would work on HBOOT 1.x.
In other words, this supercedes AlphaRev (hence the newer name) and will provide a solution for most, if not all HTC generation devices that won't get an unlock.
A 'device' is not rooted. A rom gets 'rooted'. S-OFF enables for that su binary to actually stick, aka permroot.
Ok. Atleast now there is a good hope that 2.2 wildfire will be rooted in future. So let us stick with our device and be a little more patient for sometime. And ben confirmed that alpharev2 is ready for wildfire and is in testing phase for other devices. So, the ones with hboot 0.80 are close to their s-off.
And thanks to all those who are working for alpharev x. I wish u all the best.

Oooh I really love those guys it is incedible how they can make fun of a whole htc developer team just by giving us s-off in a way they developed in there own spare (!!) time.
If you read this, people from AlphaRev: know that I'm having deep respect here. And that I'm f*cking jalous that I can not do such things myself
W00t nice! Any info about the release date?

Yeah, sorry, i was confused between alpharev 2 and alpharev x. Eagerly awaiting it
good news
impresive, any hints on release day?
What's taking them so long to publish the process how to do it? I'm sure they are trying to make it simple.
I think nothing is simple when it comes to 2.2 wildfire.
It will take time for the alpharev x. The release date will be said at the time of release as usual. But really a good hope at the moment.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
They are our only hope now , let's wish it will be out soon
Usually products from AlphaRev are for rooted devices, they've announced that on their website. So basicly, we cannot S-OFF wildfire without rooting it.
http://alpharev.nl/ Read it and carefully read the REQUIREMENTS
No lol. This one is alpharev x and it is confirmed that it won't need a prerooted device. This one is specially for hboot 1 + on all devices. So it roots + s-off the phone.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I think AlphaRev are planning to release s-off for wildfire hboot 1.01 along with 0.80 also with other devices that's y they are taking so much time but its good they are doing for as much devices as possible.. All the best for Alpha Team...
