HELP With Installing Froyo 2.2 on R00TED Wildfire...

Right so as far as I am aware I have just r00ted my phone with unrevoked3.
I need help in installing the custom 2.2 Froyo ROM and also advice on how I'm able to check if the phone has been successfully r00ted? Apologies if similar threads have been started before but I couldn't find anything relating to this via the search tool. I have access to both Windows 7 and Mac so which ever OS is easier to use just let me know...
Thanks Peeps!

If you can see the superuser icon in your app drawer then its rooted

Thanks for your reply Michealtbh...
I noticed that SuperUser with a Ninja Icon, also I am able to do... su <enter> in a command terminal and the result I get is #
Hopefully everything is okay with r00t but how do I go about putting Froyo 2.2 on it? Do I need to flash it with a custom 2.2 ROM as I debranded my Wildfire a while ago as I got it from T-Mobile.
Any help with putting 2.2 on my Wildfire would be appreciated!

The reason for me upgrading to 2.2 Froyo is I had an over the air update which was pushed to my phone. After installing this firmware update my phone no longer works on WiFi and the only net connection I can get is through 3G/HSPDA. Prior to the update my WiFi worked fine, I do not have an option to enable my WiFi through the settings menu as it is not highlighted an will not allow me to select it as an option. I did a factory reset and this did not fix my problem with the WiFi and now T-Mobile are saying to send it off for repair/reflash.
I take it this over the air update needs a follow patch to fix the bugs but I might as well just r00t my phone an upgrade to 2.2 Froyo (if possible) instead for all the messing about its worth...

Yeah you'll need to flash a custom rom to get froyo. There are many guides on how to do that here in the forums. There are also quite a few different roms to choose from, have a look in the wildfire development section and see which one appeals to you

Need SERIOUS advice/help before rooting my Desire HD. PLZ HELP ME OUT !!!

Hello people. So let me get straight to the point. I've spent the last 2 weeks browsing the web, researching ROOTING. I've saved A LOT of links & now know wot to consult & where to dload the files in order to successfully gain TEMP/PERM root access. However, I have some questions/concerns/queries before I finally go along with the whole rooting process.
1) I'm currently using Vodaphone & am on a 2 yr contract with them (which is how I got my HTC Desire HD in the first place ). Will rooting my phone cause any problems with them ? I know it voids ur warranty but will I have to pay anything in damages if I root my phone before my contract ends ?
2) I've not saved a lot on my phone, the only valuable thing is my contacts list. So how do I save that ? Shud I use ASTRO or Titanium ? Also, what else shud I make a backup of before I being the ROOTING process ? Finally, wot if I want to use another SIM on my phone ? Will my contacts still b on the phone when I put in another SIM or will they get removed when I remove the SIM I was originally using (Vodaphone SIM) ?
3) What if I want to remove ROOT if when e.g. Android 2.4 or 3.0 are released ? What if I want to upgrade to those latest versions of the OS & I need to remove ROOT access to make that possible ? Is it still possible to remove ROOT access after it's been applied ? But I guess by then there shall b ROMs for that purpose of installing the latest OS.
4) Which is the best MOD/ROM for HTC Desire HD. By "best" I mean which is the most stable one without any bugs/glitches ?
5) Can I have 2 different ROMs on the same phone ? How do I remove a ROM if I don't like it so I can install another one ? Also, after removing a ROM will I have to go through the whole process of ROOTING the phone again right from the beginning ?
6) If I want to overclock my Desire HD, will voltages from the stock battery b enough ? If OC-ing my Desire HD processor requires more voltage for the processor to run then doesn't that mean that my battery will drain more quickly ? Also, I'm an experienced overclocker with desktops & I know that OC-ing decreases the lifespan of ur processor. What abt the Desire HD processor ? How safe is it to OC the Desire HD processor ?
I'd appreciate it if you could help me out with the above questions people. And if there are other IMPORTANT concerns I shud b aware of before I ROOT then plz let me knw abt them too Thank you very much in advance !

1 - no you shouldnt do, the root has no effect on your service with vodafone, i should know as i have vodafone and the DHD
2 - well use Titanium backup, that way you can back everything up and save apps + data, store you contacts to your MicroSD.
3 - ROMS will have things like gingerbread out etc, if you install custom ROMs after rooting then you shouldnt need to worry, and hands down, Cyanogenmod is the best, if your looking for a sense ROM, go for android revolution. Customer ROMS are normally prerooted so no need to worry about rooting , plus updates are quite frequent.
4 - if you want to add or remove a new ROM PM me and ill run through it with you using clockword mod if you install it, if you need any help at all im usually on this forum quite a bit.
5 - OC kernals shouldnt have too much effect, undervoltage works a treat on some 1.22 GHz kernels meaning that you get away with slightly better battery life. but having underclocked isnt everything, depending on signal strength and wifi usage etc, etc, will depend whether you have better battery life.
Hope ive helped.

There is no reason to fear the mighty root. If you ever need to it can be easily reversed.

I felt the same way just spent hours reading and confirming asking in the forums for help now I'm fully rooted and running leedroid latest version nice stable fast Rom and to be honest best thing I ever did you get loads of help and answers just one thing to remember the first root you do make sure your on 1.32.405 as the latest ota update can not be rooted from scratch as of yet

Well you can copy from sim but not back again option is open contacts>menu>import/export
Top option will let you import from sim
As for rooting no chance at the moment just keep an eye to see if anyone manages to hack it if you had rooted prior there is a way to fix the root fault on 1.72 if you have already rooted on 1.32 but for now your stuck

I was warning people about this in the past, but was told that flashing an older RUU would allow you to attain root even if the exploit was fixed, does this not work maybe my doom mongering was not so out of place

if ur phone is radio S-Off prior to upgrading to 1.72, u can reverse it back.
but for TS's case, I believe his phone is not rooted nor radio S-Off, so dont think he can root anymore with his 1.72.
Well, at least he dont hv to worry about warranty issues anymore.

True, this was my worry about ota updates and why I advised against them in un rooted devices

I'm trying to learn out of the mistakes people make when upgrading. So help me understand this one bit.
If I root + s-off (as provided by the guide on xda) and then upgrade to the 1.72 ROM(either manually or when HTC releases an official update for my region), will I be able to flash out of it to any other ROM? Also, will the phone retain its root state then?

i believe so, although you would probably be safest to radio s-off as well, although AFAIK the lastest update doesn't bring much more than the patch for the root exploit anyway so can probably be avoided completely for now

Hi,
Will try and answer or confirm what you know...
1: If you are in the UK, a mobile phone given with a contract is owner by the person who takes out the contract. The operator has no hold on it, even if you cancel the contract. If you cancel you owe the operator the cancellation fee which will cover the cost of the handset.
2: I have found the best way to save your contacts is "in the cloud" as it were. My contacts are saved as Google contacts and as such when you link your account with your phone, the contacts reappear if you have say updated to a new ROM (If you are going to install a new ROM, it is advised to factory reset your phone etc prior to flashing a ROM). The added bonus of using Google is the speed in which the contacts get readded to the phone, or and as a backup, as they are always in the cloud. If you dont want to do this, then you can store on the phone and back them up to your PC using the HTC Sync software. You SIM card has very limited storage, and if you have multiple numbers against a contact, email addresses, other information on a contact etc, you will not be able to store that on your SIM.
3: Obtaining ROOT gives access to the root of the android system. You can do everything you could before ROOT, so the only reason really you might want to unroot is if you wanted to return your phone under warranty. You can apply ROMs when you have root, whether they are official or not. You may lose root if the ROM being applied is official. There are also guides to remove root.
4: Which ROMs are best are down to personal preference. You first need to decide if you happy with just the android/google standard apps or whether you cannot live without the HTC sense interface, and then decide on an appropriate ROM. There is a list on the Wiki.
5: You can only have one ROM at a time. Installing a new one overwrites the old one. If the custom ROM is rooted, and I think most of them are, then you do not lose root. The whole process of install a custom ROM is not just about rooting the phone, you also need to install a alternate recovery console, clockworkmod recovery being the one. Again you need to follow the guides, but if you have installed or your phone came with ROM version 1.72.x then I believe there is no way currently to root the phone, which is the first step.
6: For overclocking, there have been a few kernels released which you flash in addition to the ROM. These give you access to higher CPU frequencies. The voltage required is dealt with by the kernel. You can set the speed via a program called SetCPU. The Buzz kernel for example is overclocked to 1.53GHz I think. At stock speed and up to a certain speed, the processor is actually undervolted, which should give better battery life. There would be a bigger drain on the battery at higher clock speeds obviously. You can set profiles on SetCPU, like what speeds to use when the screen is off, which in my experience have made the battery last longer. With any processor being overclocked, you are pushing the values that the processor was marketed for, so this can affect the life of the processor.
Hope that helps...
Overall though, looks like you can't do anything yet anyway.

got it! but is it worth upgrading to the 2.2.1 update? Any performance gains? I'm not sure about what rom should I be on for fastest speed, stability with the sense ui?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Oh people
I have the DHD and am not rooted right now. Perhaps i will later, lets see how the stock rom works in daily use. (It stays at home as long as my case arrives)
But to the topic, first of all, if u had read so much topics, there wouldnt be so much questions i think. But ok, back to topic.
The warranty is lost after rooting yes, but if you need warranty just flash back the stock rom (do a backup of your complete system before flashing a custom rom) and remove s-off, root and all the stuff.
There are many ppl that said, htc or any provider could see that there was a custom rom on the phone.
So warranty was ok for them!
Another thing: if using a custom rom, why dont wait until it gets an update? The custom rom is faster and more stable as stock rom, so its no problem to wait for next cfw update.
My dhd is at 1.32 and i wont update until i use my dhd daily and can say if i need any cfw or not.
But i rooted my g1 after 2 days of use, so i think , i will
Sent this the oldschool way, with my G1

if you are on 1.72 without radio s-off and root prior to it, you can forget about flashing roms for now.
If you have radio s-off you can basically flash anything, always, so downgrading is possible as well.
I am on 1.72 as well with full root, s-off and custom rom installed.
Why I have 1.72 with root etc is because I waited for one of our much appreciated devs to include 1.72 in his custom rom, so I can flash it and keep root (if the Dev has this included in his rom, which they, as in this case, almost always include)

I plan to use this to root + s-off: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537 And then NANDROID for the ROM backup.
Once I back up my ROM, I'm assuming the backup will be rooted to. So when I flash this backup back, it will still be rooted. I can't seem to find how to unroot it now? Could you point me to something I might have missed please? Also, removing s-off

I think u can unroot by flashing back a stock rom via RUU. But don't quote me on that.

stock roms do not have root, so flashing stock rom will have you lose root.
If you have created a backup of your rooted phone's rom, restoring it, will leave root.

Noob questions.

Hi, so I've been reading the forums for a while, trying to figure out how to root my DHD correctly, as well as installing a custom ROM..
I have Software Number 1.37.771.3
I assume this does not need to be downgraded, but just want assurance. Alll the downgrades need to be from 1.72.XXX.X
What is the most popular custom ROM to install?
What does flashing new radios do? And are they necessary?
What does S-Off do?
How will I be able to install my stock ROM back once I install a custom rom?
I know some of these question can be found by searching, but some parts are not clear to me.
Thanks.

Hiya, 1.37 does not need to be downgraded so you CAN root that.
The most popular roms I believe are either ARHD or rcmix hd (but it is down to personal preference, some roms give you things some others don't/can't)
Once you install a custom rom, sometimes you need to install a different radio to get better battery life, gps signal etc etc.
Radio s-off gives you the ability to install a custom Rom on Ur dhd, I'm not sure if its true but I think it is a MUST if you wanna install a Rom.
Eng s-off is needed to flash a radio, but you only have to have eng s-off if you wanna flash a radio.
You can just radio s-off to install a custom Rom and not have to have eng s-off to install a radio.
You can get back to stock by flashing the branded/unbranded ruu through your computer (its easier that way, I had trouble doing it through SD card last night,just run the exe. File through computer and follow the commands) , it will get rid of custom Rom, eng s-off, custom recovery and root all in one go, so all you need to do after is temp root and radio s-on, and you should be back to stock. Or you can do a nandroid backup (someone jump in cos not too clear on this point either)
If anyone wants to jump in and say if I got it wrong please do, but that's what I done last night.
Is your handset branded by any chance mate?
Cos what I done last night was flash the WWE unbranded Rom and now I'm unbranded, cos I used to be branded by vodafone, now all the vodafone crap and stuff has gone from mine.
Oh also you might wanna check before you start whether u can get your hands on a branded Rom cos if you have trouble with handset and need to send it back then your gonna wanna get it completely back to normal.
Anyway hope this helped and if you need anything there's lots of people on here that will help you as best they can.
Good luck ;-)

The most popular ROM is probably either LeeDroid HD, Android Revolution HD or CyanogenMod
Flashing a different radio is not usually required but can give you better performance.
S-off lets you install custom ROMs of your DHD, you cant flash a radio and Im pretty sure you cant flash a ROM without S-off.
The stock ROM (version 1.32.405.6) can be downloaded from CyanogenMods downloads page. Link
This might be useful too. Link
Also HTC Ace was the codename for the Desire HD so if you see HTC Ace anywhere its the right phone.

ARHD 3.5 has just been released.

This was exactly the thread I was looking for, I've been reading these forums for the last week trying to get my head around all the information. Im guessing once you understand all the procedures it starts coming a bit more naturally, doing my first flash tomorrow

Good luck mate, I did my first one last week, it was nerve wracking lol some people like me need a little more help and clarification from more knowledgeable members on here.
But we all in the same boat innit, just don't start too many threads on it cos you'll end up getting a warning like me, it was harsh but I'm gonna have to accept it looool anyways good luck and if u need any help just ask.
And make sure you follow all the steps to the point, cos you could end up with some unrectifiable problems ;-)

It depends what you wanna do, if you wanna unbrand your phone use the WWE ruu, if you wanna return Ur phone back to the way it was then use a official 3 branded Rom, and as you know if you want a particular custom Rom then just flash one of those.
I got my WWE ruu from xmoo's thread, it has a whole list of different ruu versions, so just pick the one you want but I suggest going for the 1.32 xx3 cos you can still root that version if you wanted to.

I had the same problem and i saved it by turning off the UPnP in router setting.
But I don't know what caused this issue because before i was using it normally for 1 year.

this sometimes happens to me if i try to reconnect to a 802.1x eap security network. when i reenter the credentials, it works. this could be a network based problem. what are the security settings?

mine worked for first few mins,then now its not working. please help.

Guys....I am getting crazy...I had a perfectly good CM7.1.0.1 buzz working (wifi too)
then after I played around with it for 3-4 days and installed various apps, the WIFI stopped working. As in, it scans ok, but when try to connect it fails..
- i fails even on open networks
- sometime its fails to obtain IP, sometimes it doesnt even reach that point.
I have tried to:
- activate airplane mode - tunr wifi on - reboot - many times in various orders..nada
- install various 'fixer' apps. nada
- flash new radio.nada
- flash new kernel.nada
- back up restore.nada
- clear cache, factory reset, dalvik clear . nada
- flashed latest CM nightly(256). Phone failed To Load.
- flashed CM7.0.3 - phone failed to load
- flashed CM7.1.0.1 again, phone loaded, (lost all settings) but wifi STILL not working
- I have tried varius networks, tried resetting, tried disabling encryption, changing channel, just about every option on the router. Its the phones fault.
I am very curious about this, because this error seems very serious and not many people seem to have it...so I am missing something Big..(?)
I will try to do a complete fresh install deleting everything formating etc
Maybe some app screwed up the wifi???
im a NOOB! any1 care to enlighten???

Try flashing a SAFE ruu, I had a similar problem but after going back to stock everything worked fine again.

and u were stuck back at stock rom?? no CM ???

my wifi is now working perfectly well now.tried restarting the phone and it did the trick.
may be yours issue may be different than mine.

Nice one, fyi if you read the 2nd post you'll see you can flash a safe ruu which basically means someone has removed the hboot, recovery and radio images so you will keep root and clockwork recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12782368

well yea ofc I will flash a ruu instead of running a full restoration.. I wonder if that would do the trick..
still u havent answered if u reflashed CM after you got your wifi sorted out..(but judging by your sig u did...)
I just dont want to break the wifi again..it seems so random..almost deal-breaker for me
then again..damn spyware on ruu...thats a definate deal breaker

Using an ruu is a full restoration the only thing different with a safe ruu is you won't lose any of the good stuff. I have made my own safe ruu, saved on my SD which I've used twice to solve problems, first was wifi wouldn't connect at all even after a reflash and the second problem was random reboots on every rom, nandroid backup I had. Just flashing the ruu fixed both of those and I was back up and running on cm7 in about 20 minutes with no problems at all.
I haven't updated my sig for months but it is still more or less the same, I always end up back on cm7 no matter what rom I try.
It just feels right to me.......

No signal and Wi-Fi issues

Hi all,
I am in need of some help I had a Branded DHD on 3, which I unlocked for my DAD who is on Vodafone it was working for a good 3 weeks then either said no sim inserted or lost signal a simple power off and back on seemed to fix it.
However more recently it has given up all together no signal and now wi-fi issues.
The phone was rooted and running ICS The Collective rom , my Dad did not like it so I put on a sense 3.5 rom and as above was running no problem up until now can anyone advise me if indeed it does need a new radio or is there a simple fix?
I have searched long and hard for a solution but nothing if anyone could help it would be great !!:good:

Which radio do you have? Settings-About-Baseband version
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium

Flash A new radio and see if that fixes it

Cheers I will check the baseband and post, were is this new Radio? and also is there an easier way to flash a new radio on an already flashed DHD?
Thanks again

Radio's usually come I zip files. Just flash them like you would a new ROM (just wipe cache and Dalvik, not full wipe)

Hi the baseband I am currently on is 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M
I have tried to flash a radio with CWM but would say installation aborted? but knowing me I am a bit rusty with the DHD as now on an HTC One X.
If anyone can provide a link for flashable radios via CWM that wold be great the current rom that is installed is GingerSense4 v1.2.
Thanks again in advance:good:

You need to flash the new radio through bootloader, not cwm. You will need to plug it into your computer and follow the guide on how to flash radio somewhere in the forum

There are many guides to flash a radio here is one of them:

Thanks again will let you know how I get on :good:

Out of curiosity I checked once I booted into HBOOT and this is what it says at the top??
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
Hboot-2.00.0027
Microp-0438
RADIO-26.14.04.28_M
eMMC-boot

Does this mean its un rooted again? so I will now need to start again?

It's not un-rooted but S-ON means the security flag is ON. You need to use the AAHK to install an ENG H-Boot with S-OFF, if you want it. It's not really necessary though. The easiest way to flash a radio is through AAHK, if you have no experience of going it before. Read through the AAHK manual fully before doing it. You can't just flash radios in recovery.
It seems you already have the latest radio from the last world wide update for the DHD. I'm going to link you to a newer version, try that and tell me if it fixes your issues. If that doesn't work, I'll link you to an older version which might work. Radios work differently for everyone, depending on the frequencies used in their countries. So it's not a case of 'newer is better' for radios.
New radio (12.68.60.29_26.16.04.09_M) - http://goo.gl/V06BH
Old radio (12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M) - http://goo.gl/jnxBx
Just one thing, BEFORE you flash any of the above radios, just download the corresponding RIL for your 26.14.04.28 radio and flash it in recovery. Run your phone for some time and see if it makes a difference. If you're running a Sense ROM, you need to flash the corresponding RIL for a radio, not so for AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod/AOKP. Similarly, if you flash any of the above radios, flash their corresponding RILs too (I can't find a link to the RIL for the newer radio, but you can flash one for the older radio). You can get RILs from the link below.

hi thanks very much! I booted into recovery earlier on today and it said ''Safe Mod''
I then flashed IceColdSandwich summer edition v8.2 because my phone would just sit with a black screen... and nothing still just sits on a black screen now flashed 3 roms still nothing.
I can go into recovery and boot loader but thats it and most of these procedures require the phone to be on I cant get to that stage :crying:
I have flashed many phones from HTC Hero, S2, HD2 etc I now own an HTC One X all find but this DHD is the first one I ever sim unlocked via unlockme.com (or something similar cannot remember)
So really at a loss now any suggestions anyone? :fingers-crossed:

Please help me sat down to fix this today .... I've boot this into Fastboot to find my boot into recovery is now missing so I can no way boot phone or into recovery (I think)
Can anyone give me a link etc to fix this? as most guides requires phone to be on??
thanks in advance:good:

What you are trying to ask is that you are unable to boot into recovery? have you lost your recovery? or you are not having an option in bootloader to go into recovery?

Have you done the superCID thing? I don't know how to do it exactly but there are guides. Search for them. I'm guessing that may be your issue.
