Hi,
Is there a way of rooting a wildfire with hboot 1.01.0001?
Downgrate... goldcard... any method!
No

Short Answer is NO , s0rry to be the bearer of bad news , lolz gonna have to wait till someone figures it out , thats why i never flash an RUU or OTA upgrade unless i KNOW what its goin to do
this is soo funny, people wait to get official froyo, then they want to root. instead they could have rooted before and get a custom froyo rom anyway.
And there were many warnings not to update to the OTA or RUU unless a newer method came out.
Bad luck guys

Nothing technical about it, all you have to do is search and read.

You'll have to wait for a new root sorry
I read many things and decided to install the original froyo. Its good for me at this moment but for sure When its possible in will root it for overclock my wildfire and to feel free to have a choice. So be friendly to eachother and helpfull when someone install the original and want to root it.

Rooting HTC Wildfire (firmware too new ???)
Hi,
I have the same update
H BOOT-1.01.0001
NOV.17.2010
I manage to install usb driver via Speedy0339
ONLY THAT WAY I MANAGE TO INSTALL H BOOT USB driver!!!
Then I run UNREVOED3
When I run UNREVOED3 process starts:
1. installs unrevoed 3 and reboot phone,
2. Then he starts rooting a.......and then :::::::::::::
3. SEE attached file [Error: Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new? ]
Root with Unrevoked
Unrevoked as we speak are trying to root the new Froyo update for the wildfire.
as the change log says.
v3.31:
Backed ClockworkMod down to 2.x series on EVO 4G; now 2.6.0.1.
Still has new kernel. Still has WiMAX key backup. Now supports amend scripting again.
ROM authors: fix your ROMs! Support will go away again in 3.x.x.x: Koush has a good thread explaining the reason why.
Improved compatibility with Android 2.1 (fixes “am reported error starting service”).
Increased root timing window (fixes “failed to get root” on supported devices).
v3.3:
Fix for latest EVO 4G OTA (3.70.651.1) and EVO 4Gs with new versions of HBOOT (2.02 and 2.10).
Switched exploits for all platforms; hopefully more reliable than rageagainstthecage
Updated ClockworkMod, with plenty of new features:
3.0.0.2 for EVO 4G, which has a new kernel (for better WiMAX safety), and supports WiMAX key backup
2.5.1.2 for Incredible, which supports SLCD
No update for Wildfire yet; sorry. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Only Snow Leopard is supported in the OS X build.
No update for Wildfire yet; sorry
maybe in the next update they seam to update pretty quick its just a waiting game now.

If you've read the thread, you would know that there is no way to root that HBOOT version. Unrevoked 3 currently only works on the stock HBOOT.

Solution for downgrade is not working. At least, untill a temp root exploit will be found for this new hboot.

I just recently bought my Wildfire, Never thought of rooting it till i found HBoot by mistake was just messing around i am also on HBoot-1.01.0001 like its said so many times on here root can't be done, i was messing with that z4root app on it and on temp it doesn't error out only on perm it does. So does this mean the temp root works ?
If so is there anyway you could flash with a temp root please bare with me i am a Linux person and the Andriod OS is Linux in a sense but Andriod is new to me and as such this might sound noobish.
Has anyone been able to downgrade Android 2.3 back to 2.2?
People are trying to downgrade their phones back to 2.2 and use one of the rooting methods, because none of them will work an Android 2.3.
I've heard that some, but very few people, have been able to do it by running an RUU back to stock. There has to be a reason why some have been able to downgrade, but not others. It seems that if the phone has never been rooted, then it cannot be done (downgraded or rooted). That may be because the bootloader is S-ON.
My question is, if the phone was previously rooted, then unrooted, then updated to Android 2.3, if the phone is somehow downgraded using an RUU, is it only because the phone is still S-OFF, or some other reason?
I already know how to root it if the phone is still S-OFF and was updated to 2.3. The question is still, if the phone is successfully downgraded using an RUU back to Android 2.2 stock (with hopes of rerooting), is it because the bootloader is still S-OFF?
These questions are really more to help others than they are for me because too many people are trying unsuccessfully to downgrade their phone in the hopes of rerooting. If there are no good answers, then obviously downgrading will not be the route to take.
(AND YES, MOST OF THEM SHOULD NOT HAVE UNROOTED, but everyone makes mistakes.)

Yes, they are only able to downgrade because their phone is already unlocked with s-off.
Its really a waste of time tbh, all you have to do is flash a recovery and you're done.

Look on the dev forum for RA recovery or clockwork recovery. Both of them include a way to flash them via bootloader menu on the evo.

You can only downgrade to 2.2 if you have s-off. The new 2.16 bootloader will not accept any known RUU, downgrade, or any other root method currently. I even tried to do the "old" GoldCard method, and of course, that didn't work either.
Here is the write up if interested on how to downgrade with s-off.........
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks/how-to-root-htc-evo-4g-gingerbread-2-3/
Check out the 4th comment, by Julian. Pretty much sums it up.........
"This procedure WILL NOT work if you have unrooted your Evo and updated via OTA from sprint!! New bootloader interface is included with the new RUU (2.3.3) which prevents recovery mode launch, reverting back to a prior ROM, or rooting"
you can root it if your bootloader says s-off, just flash recovery in a pc36img file and flash superuser for 2.3

thanks for this!
Well my friends phone has never been rooted so he wants to rooted so can I still go back to 2.2 using the methods y'all posted here
The new bootloader does not prevent recovery from launching. You can either turn off fastboot on settings-applications or instead of power off, choose reboot and start holding down vol-down when the screen goes black

If the phone has never been rooted before, then you are going to be S-on. Since you have the new bootloader, AND you have S-on, there is nothing you can do to root the phone at this time. You cannot downgrade to 2.2, you cannot downgrade the bootloader. The only thing you'll be able to do is wait until someone figures out how to get S off on the new bootloader, or if someone figures out a way to downgrade the bootloader. The only way you can downgrade back to 2.2, is if the bootloader is S off. Also, if the bootloader was S off, downgrading to froyo to 'reroot' is a complete waste of time. All you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of a recovery image, and then use that recovery to flash a new rom. That's it. Anything more than that is a total waste of time, and a bunch of steps that don't need to be taken.
So, unfortunately, all you can do is wait until someone figures out a way around the new bootloader.

No need to be rude kid, I watched a buddy install a ruu that worked perfectly, took about 20 min he was back to 2.2, there is a few youtube vids on it, I didn't do the code for it but I did watch it work to my disbelief, I said the same thing you did that there was no way

Kid? I'm 41 years old. I wasn't being rude. The same question was asked several times, so I was just restating the obvious. My goal on here is not to be rude, unlike many others, but to actually help. And I am sorry if you perceived as such.
Also, sorry to burst your bubble, but there is NO way to root if you have 2.3 AND the new 2.16 bootloader. Either you have S=off and run an RUU to get back to Froyo, or you do not have the new 2.16 bootloader.
That is all.
Hi,
I just want to know if with the 2.3.3 the root process is diffrent, or just do the same thing as the old 2.2.1.
Anyone as already tried?
funny story its non existent, it cant be rooted and wont be for a very long time if ever
I think you're wrong, cause maybe just needs to downgrade the firmware as usual.
But I need someone who already did it.
if you can figure out how to downgrade it, go ahead. But as of yet, there's no way to root the official gingerbread update.

And how about the "goldcard" ? create one, and then install just lower version via recovery or something... I've read somewhere that u can install lower builds of OTA and then root the phone ... will that work? or i just missed something during lecture...
I believe that the desire hd gingerbread update has been rooted by means of downgrading. We just need to wait for someone to figure it out for us DZ users

I did that for rooting the 2.2.1 and downgranding to 2.2
Hope works for this one too.
Goldcard won't work, yet.
Stay tuned though, very soon a temp-root will be released, which will allow you to downgrade.

There is no easy way if you did the OTA update. There's no currently known way to root the mt4g if you went up to 2.3.4.
You'll have to downgrade back to Froyo if you want to get root, and then you can upgrade to a different rom with gingerbread, but it won't be the stock rom.
I'm not sure if you can downgrade if you didn't have root before either, but I think there might be. I'll post the link up in a bit if I can find it.

Yeah, it's not easy, but if you didn't have root access before you upgraded this is about all you can do.

Donate to the root devs?
So WHO does work on these things, such as finding a way to root 2.3.4? I suppose if a bunch of Glacier owners pitch in a few bones, it might result in us getting a root solution sooner. That is, for those who don't want to downgrade. I'd rather keep the stock ROM. If I wanted to donate, where to go?

There is a rooted version of the stock ROM. You just have to downgrade to get rooted.
