@deejayviral and others,
You will have to read the wiki and then go to General or Q and A sections when you get stuck.
There is no simple or short answer.
Please read the sticky threads.

It's my understanding that you must first downgrade to firmware 1.5 to root. Maybe that's just for the so called "one click" root process??...

root via my software its straight forward my friend even idiots can do it

A very confusing problem

My HTC magic has the following -
SAPPHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S-ON H
HBOOT- 1.33.0010 (SAPP10000)
CLPD-12
RADIO-3.22.20.17
Jun 2 2009, 17:28:28
can somebody guide me , or post a link to change the HBOOT to something else other than 0010. Ive tried alll the methods , but no luck.
The Magic which i have is from Qatar (vodafone).
Any info on changing the ROM would be helpful. I just got the phone and im upgrading from HTC Diamond.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4335330#post4335330
Google is your friend got the link in 2 clicks. root + 1.33.0010

Thanks a lot

can you give us the name of the rom or the link ?
So i can help you .
Note that your informations about your phone show that your never changed the spl and the radio , and as you know every custom rom need specific spl or radio, and your fist question is can somebody guide me , or post a link to change the HBOOT to something else other than 0010.or my link give you all necessary to change the hiboot and radio ,

My current ROM ver is 2.56.415.5

If you list the methods you tried instead of just saying you tried all you might get more help. If you really tried all we wouldn't be able to help you anyway.
But instead of making us try to guess what it is there is going wrong, provide us with info. Then people won't come in and post link to the wiki and things like that
Anyway, goldcard should be able change this SPL, and i believe that other methods is available as well. I used to have that SPL myself before i got an engineer instead. But you should change your SPL before trying to flash a Rom, but seems like you understood that just trying anyway. Other solutions is to find a newer RUU update there match your mobile which have S-OFF so you can downgrade the SLP after that.

I would take a less risky approach than RUU updates, but it was the way i did it cause back then i got my phone the 1.33.0010 was still perfected.
You got the SDK on the PC and able to list devices through ADB? And a goldcard as well?
Anyway, this was the method i used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548096

Ya , im able to connect it and run adb devicelist and i'm able to create the goldcard as well. But wen i'm trying to load the SPL , it shows that the current ROM ver is higher . S-ON means that i cant downgrade right?
So i'm guessing there is no solution for this problem

I can't find an RUU that matches your CustomerID which means your only option is to make a goldcard (unless someone see's something I'm missing). Do you not have a friend with a phone running Android that you could borrow?

no i havent

You may be hosed unless someone can think of something I'm not.

3- the only screen i can access now is ruu fastboot screen
and if you have help for me please dont hesitate
sorry my English is not accurate i hope you understand me

The problem is that you cannot update using Rogers RUU without the use of a goldcard... so how did that happened?

[Q] WildFire NAND flash error

Hi! I want to instal on my wildfire Sandra custom ROM. I had 2.2 software, but i downgrade it and now i have a 2.1 Update –1 1.37.405.1 . I used newest version Unrevoked program to ropy and flash discovery. All works ok, but on the end of installation i have text ""internal error: failed to unlock NAND flash?"" i ty to search anawet to my problem, but i dont find it. I use Windows 7 32nite, have installed modified drivers. I think you can help me... I wait for answer.

Did you read the Forums?
You Updated to 2.2 (Froyo) so you got HBoot 1.*.
You CANT Root your WF coz You CANT downgrade your HBoot.
There are abot 100 Topics about the Froyo Root.
You downgraded to 2.1... Eclair i think. But... your HBOOT is still 1.*.
You just downgraded your Firmware, not your Bootloader.
Switch off your Phone. Press the Volume down Button and hold it. Press the Power Button and you will see that have a 1.* HBoot.
We have to wait for a new unrEVOked to get the WF Handys with HBoot 1.* rooted.
Or ask in the right Topic some1 to "s-off" your Wildfire with the XTC Clip.
When will the new unrEVOked release? -> dunno
How to downgrad HBoot 1.*? -> atm no way
XTC Clip / s-off? -> its a (expensive) Programmer Hardware that disables your NANDlock
Why is the new HBoot locked? -> dunno, i just know that is frustrating that we paid for a Phone an we CANT use it like we want!
Please take a look into the WF Forum (General & Roms) and you will find some Topics thats you need to get more Infos.
**Edit**
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939801 is the XTC Clip Topic.
229USD.
ääähm... in Germany it costs about 130Euro. Anyway... to expensive i still wait for enrEVOked

I bought an xtc clip so i dont have to depend on people try to hack the new hboot. Its not so expensive, i will unlock some htc mobiles for to reduce my costs. I see many people who dont read forums.......maybe if you dont know what you....dont do anything with your phone except whats made for. I bought my wildf because its a cheap and good mobile so dont complain about the new hboot.....even with froyo its still a good value for money mobile.
If you want to make a hobby of it and want to try other roms.....buy an xtc clip and you are free.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

failed to unlock nand flash
Dude , I have This Problem After Downgrade to 2.1 , unrevoked says : failed to unlock nand flash ?!

Thats because unrevoked doesn't work with HBOOT 1.01. Try AlpharevX instead.

TMobile flashed friends phone..

Hey guys, I am currently sitting here with a potentially bricked MyTouch due to TMobile somehow flashing the phone and it having an issue in the process. I can boot into recovery mode, but I am trying to figure out which rom I would need (keep getting an error that states i am flashing an old version)
Glacier pvt ship S-ON
HBOOT-0.89.0005
Microp-0429
Radio-26.11.04.03_m

Thanks ahead of time for any assistance provided, if you need more information just let me know.

Read this thread.I think he had same problem like you.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307631
He also mentioned that anyone has this problem,pm to him for asking help.

I just sent a msg to the poster, in more detail the phone is not rooted, and I am assuming the radio version is conflicting with the rom version. I have tried to flash both the radio and rom I am just not sure which version should be which so I dont get the same error message as stated in that thread. Can I even properly flash the radio when I am not rooted, considering S-on? Can I turn this off? Thanks.

It is on Official GB,no? So yet there is no way to root official GB.So you just have to downgrade to Fryo 1st.Then Flash.Here is the link about downgrading
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912

Well the only way to downgrade that bootloader is to actually be able to boot the phone and temp-root it first. So that requires a bootable phone. The only ROM that version of the bootloader will accept is the newest Gingerbread.
So what you might need to do is:
- Flash the signed stock Gingerbread ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264704
- Then if you want to root, you'd follow the guide that requires temp-root in Gingerbread, and then misc-version to allow downgrade to 2.2.1
- Then from 2.2.1 you can follow the guide to Radio S-OFF and then flash whatever you want.
