Ok, i just want to say hello to all members, and i hope you'll be abe to help me.
I have HTC Magic with these specifications:
SAPHHIRE PVT 32A SHIP S ON H
HBOOT 1 76 2009 (SAPP10000)
CPLD 12
RADIO 6 35 08 29
Dec 8 2009 17 38 48
Firmware ver 1 5
Kernel Version 2 6 27 5b476e83 htc kernel and18 2 989
Build Number 3 05 401 3 CL 98222 release keys (coulndt put dots between number again, because I'm new user)
I have downloaded and installed the HTC Sense update on this phone few months ago. (I couldn't download the Sense update from the HTC site with my phone's serial number that i entered, instead I found and downloaded the update here on the forum, that someone posted.)
Before the update, my phone SPL was 1 33 something and radio was 2 22 something if I remember correctly.
I have tried this:
How to root the HTC magic in one click guide on unlockr site (cannot provide you the link cause i'm a noob user and cand post links
I wanted to do the rooting the easy way but it was a "no go" i guess
With the FlashRec.apk application couldn't get past the "backup failed" message, because of the SPL i guess??
Then i tried this, because the first article said at the and that i need to unroot the phone with this guide "how to unroot your mytouch 3g" guide also from unlockr site.
I downloaded the sappimg NBH file from the provided link and put it in the root of the SD card, tried the fastboot (volume down + power button) but i could flash the phone, got the "wrong main version" message.
At the end of the article it says that the known issue is
"Issue: Phone says that the wrong Main Version is Older or Wrong Model ID"
and that the solution is:
"Solution: Use our Goldcard Method instead."
I am going to buy a gold card tomorrow, and i would be very thankful if you could point me into the right direction and give me some explanations and hints what should i do next, considering that i have a very "root unfriendly" versions of SPL and Radio. All help is appreciated.
You don't buy a gold card, you make one with an ordinary microsd card and some software you download. Here are instrucitons to get you started:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/
And since the Wiki is down, go to this thread and follow those instructions.
Ok, guys, i made the Goldcard, according to the instructions on the unlockr site, and everything seems ok. I get the problem when i try to load SAPPIMG file from HBOOT, it picks up the sappimg file and start loading it but does not ask me to flash or anything similar, just finishes the process of checking and stays in the HBOOT screen, like nothing happened. Could this be because of a 1.76.0009 perfected SPL that my Magic has? Can my magic be even rooted?
I have done the Goldcard rooting method on the unlockr site, just for the info.
It should tell you to push "action" to continue after it checks the sappimg, with the "action" being to push the trackball.

I've made it. It's rooted now.
Used instructions for rooting 1.76.0009, from Orange_24 (whom i thank soooo much)
I have installed Amon_RA's recovery image RA-sapphire-v1.6.2H.
I am still having problems.
I can't install [32a][3.22][6.35] CM6 - FroyoRedux Mod v1.5 (08/01/2010) Froyo Supreme ROM. I start recovery mode (home + power) button, and start Flash Zip form sdcard (i previously copied the CM6-FroyoRedux-v1.5-32a-blk.zip file to the sdcard root) and I always get the "verification failed" message" and that some file is corrupted (it's not the same file always).
My SPL and Radio now are:
SAPHHIRE PVT 32A ENG S OFF H
HBOOT 1.76.2007 (SAPP10000)
6.35.xxx
Check that the ZIP file was downloaded correctly and that your SD card isn't broken. Best way to check would be to copy a file on your card and check if it has the same MD5 sum as on the computer.
God da*n it!
Why do I have problems every step of the way!!??
I have checked the MD5 and managed to install the ROM. Now i'm stuck at the infinite boot screen. Please help, i'm really running out of patience. (I have made Nand backup and stored it on my PC if all else fails).
Don't get me wrong, but from this little experience that i have until now i got the feeling that the rooting concept is just too cumbersome and that all this problems and inconsitencies are the reason why many people never let them selves into the rooting thing. I just hope the reward will be proportional to the amount of problems that an average ROOT beginner user comes in contact for the first time.
PLEASE HELP THIS IS URGENT!!!
I might have bricked my phone. After succesfull install of CM6, my phone went to boot loop, so i tried to NAND restrore my phone. I got the error message to do the NAND restore. I got the error message, saying that to do it from the adb. I didnt know how to do it, so i tried to put some other ROM, just to get the phone working. I tried with the Amon RA's clean donut ROM. Also got the infinite boot. So i tried other recovery, the recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.7.0H, flashed it through recovery adb and got the sporadic restarts after flashing when i go into the recovery mode.
After that i flashed the recovery-RAv1.2.0H.img from fastboot because this recovery is mentioned on the unlockr site instructions on how to install custom ROM. Now i cant get into recovery mode, and cant flash none of the above mentioned recoveries from fastboot.
I really need help and information is my phone bricked. Please, i have been on my computer for the whole weekend, messing around with my android phone.
ill look into wut u can do..
Flash this recovery: http://www.theandroidkitchen.com/fi...download=recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img and use only ROMs made for NEW RADIO/NR/6.35. Either that, or flash the old radio/spl using eyegor's Radio Switcher (see dev thread).
^ Thank you in advance
The current state of the phone is, just to give you info:
Engineering SPL, S-OFF, HBOOT is 1.76.2007, Radio 6.35.08.29, recovery (flashed from Fast Boot) recovery-RAv1.2.0H which is stuck at boot loop, and Amon RA's clean donut ROM which is also stuck at boot loop.
I suppose the only way to fix this problem is to use adb from Fastboot USB or using gold card?
What are the symptoms of a definitively bricked phone?

Can you give me the console command to flash it from fastboot? Is that the only way to flash recovery? I have tried flash recovery <recovery_name.ext>, but with no success, i get the :
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img
error: cannot load 'recovery-RA-Magic32A-6.35-v1.6.2.img'
EDIT:
Me stupid, forgot to place the recovery in tools folder
I'll try now to load some ROM for 6.35 radio, or maybe downgrade the SPL/Radio
My phone was made s-off via xtc clip.
It's rooted with superoneclick (couldn't get unrevoked to work).
ROM Manager is in the superuser list and has been granted root access.
In ROM Manager I click "flash clockworkmod recovery", select "HTC Buzz (Wildfire)" and it says "successfully downloaded clockworkmod recovery".
But every time I click "reboot into recovery" I just get a black screen with a phone in the middle and a red triangle.
I then have to remove the battery to get the phone back on.
Any ideas folks ?
I read somewhere that the current version of ROM manager doesn't work with Android 2.2.
Is this right ?
I tried an older version and it appeared to try and install clockwork recovery for a few seconds then I got a black screen with a phone and a red question mark.
try flashing custom recovery with PC49IMG process. get the file from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15
and one more thing, if u get issues with flashing custom roms then try to use different version of recovery.
issues like amend scripting.......
Thanks for the reply.
I tried putting the PC49IMG.zip file in the root of the sd card but when I go into HBOOT it says ....
CID incorrect !
Update Fail !
Do I need to do a factory reset ?

CID error after making S-OFF huh ?
U do have another option. Can try an official RUU of ur region with the radio Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25
this gives u hboot 0.80 . Then u can root the phone with unrevoked (use version 3.2).
Would this be ok ?

The one specific for ur region (if it is there) is more preferable. However it will also be ok.
And better get it from shipped roms website if u havent started the download yet.

Thanks for the list.
So, is it just a case of running the exe with my phone connected ?

Sorry, cant go further. That might be due to region. I think there might be ur region RUU in that website there. Don't know completely to solve cid errors. Probably a gold card might be the solution.
But there are solutions for cid errors. Go with this thread (same one as earlier), it might help u. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=993102
Thanks again for all your help so far, much appreciated.
I found a multi region RUU with the same kernel as the one I'm on.
Do you think flashing this will allow me to then flash one of the older RUUs ?
Also, if I do this will it make my phone s-on again ?

When ur phone has S-OFF (by xtc clip) u can flash any wildfire RUU of ur region (i mean downgrading hboot is also possible). Yes u can flash older RUU also, that's what u attempted to do with that WWE ruu.
Once u do S-OFF by xtc clip, then u can't get back to S-ON in any way. XTC clip directly wipes off the secure flag in the radio NVRAM. So, AFAIK, there is no way for u (by xtc clip) to get back to S-ON even when u flash an updated hboot.
But alpharev2 (not yet released for wildfire) will patch the hboot to make it think that the secure flag is off. So, if done by alpharev S-OFF is not permanent. When done S-OFF with alpharev, then if u flash an updated hboot, the phone returns to S-ON. This is not the case with u.
Tried the RUU with the same kernel that's on my phone but got the "customer ID error" again.
I'm starting to think something went wrong when they used the xtc clip.
When I get the red triangle in HBOOT, if I press vol up + power I get the message "failed to verify signature".
I thought having s-off was supposed to bypass the signature checks

AFAIK, after S-OFF it should skip the signature check. That is how we can flash the custom recovery through PC49IMG process.
There is a full guide of XTC clip rooting in the development section. If u think something went wrong when they used xtc clip, u might get an answer there. link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1057524
And also one more link to what we can do after S-OFF here.

In that try the fastboot flash recovery command. May be a hope
Woo hoo, success !!
I made a goldcard and the RUU installed fine.
I now have Android 2.1 and HBOOT 0.80.0007.
I guess the goldcard is where I was going wrong.
Edit : Just got unrevoked to work first time too.
And now I've got CM7 installed !!!
A very happy bunny.
Many thanks again for the help and advice.
Wouldn't have got it working without this forum.
That's fine.

after looking into many posts and trying for over a week i still can't manage to root my cousin's HTC wildfire.
he bought it of T-mobile with contract and i flash "RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe" only thing that changed flashing that he can now use battery for longer hours. but still i can't manage to S-off (security off).
I've tried
1: revoked
1a: revoked using custom method
2: alpharevx (the iso says not competable)
3: tried using Superone tool
4: almost everything on XdA website and outside
well i am not sure what is wrong
whenever i try to flash recovery through ADB fastboot or other methods it give me error and wont let it go thru, even if i push it thru adb it just give me error at end and thats all... so frustrating.
Any suggestions? any help?
Appreciate ur help in advance and thanks for taking time looking into this post.

Unrevoked won't work on hboot 1.01 . And if your hboot is 0.80, then you need to install hacked hboot drivers in windows pc to use unrevoked. And there is no alpharevx ISO bootable cd yet AFAIK. May be you have used alpharev 1.8 ISO image which is not supported for wildfire. Then superone click root method will not give a permanent root to wildfire with S-ON.
Looks like your hboot is 1.01.x
Check your hboot version first. Power off your device. Then by holding vol down key, power on the device. Now you will see hboot menu. If your hboot version is 1.01.x with s-on then alpharevx is the only option to root your phone presently.
This link applies to you if your hboot is 1.01.x. If you face any problems with alpharevx program, then downgrade to hboot 1.01.0001

NO LONGER TAKING Q'S. HAVE MOVED TO X8 FORUM!! HI everyone. i have started this thread as i didnt know what to do when i first had to send my wildfire back for repairs. first download the attatched zip. unzip to desktop and make sure u have got the drivers for your bootloader interface already installed. to do this you will need just two things. the zip you have just downloaded and the HBOOT which i included inside the ziped file. once extracted run the java file named S-ON.jar and plug your phone in and turn on fastboot. once connected make sure you click on check connection. once you have done that you should see your serial number appear. okay your ready to go. look for the first tab and click on it. then click on HBOOT/SPL. locate the HBOOT file you inzipped with the S-ON tool and then click it. once done just click on flash HBOOT/SPL. once done you will see it says FLASH HBOOT/SPL/SUCCESS. thanks for takuing time to look at my GUIDE and i hope it helps you. just remember one thing only flash the new HBOOT after you have installed the RUU which is android 2.2.1 so you can root again. and remember you can also get S-OFF again the exact same way
BEFORE you attempt to flash new HBOOT to gain s-on. please click start on your pc then goto run then in the dialog box type CMD. then you will have a pop-up it will be your command promt. in the command promt type
C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30 then hit enter. then open the s-on tool and flash the new HBOOT. then it will flash without FAIL. sorry for not realising this earlyer. and happy flashing.
comment if you need the bootloader drivers and i will upload them if requested thanks again everyone. and i would like to thank the acctuall creator of the programme thanks again briliant work on all sides.
i wil try it my Wildfire
here are the bootloader interface drivers..
enjoy thank me if this method helped you in your Quest to gain s-on
Did it worked for someone? I need to S-ON my wildfire, because i want to sell it
Edit: The WinRun.bat and LinuxRun.sh are wrong. They call the FastbootCommanderV.1.5.jar file, but they should call S-ON.jar
Question: What is eng hboot in your warning when the programm starts? I have the AlphaRev hboot 6.01.1002, will it work?
yesw i have done it on 5 diff wildfires i GUARENTEE it works mate hit me up on my thanks button
like i said this is not my programme i just found it very usefull to gain s-on. the only other way apart from this is to do it via the command promt on windows. which sucks as only a few people acctually know how to use this method. you dont need any of the linux stuff or win.bat. this method is for windows users only
For windows users only !!
this will only work on windows. wilol not work on linux. i am trying to get the programme to work on linux but to no avail. i will keep on trying but its just not capable of doing it. also please do NOT rename the HBOOT.NbO file if you do rename it then it will not flash and will not work.
i tried it, but when i will flash the hboot, i get this error:
Flashing "hboot" - PLEASE WAIT.
"hboot" flash FAILURE.
The device shows me: not roll back hboot version
DO NOT rename the file.
if you rename the file you will get a error. also make sure u have put your phone back to the stock RUU that is android 2.2.1 BEFORE you try this method
These are the RUU you need
go to this site and download the RUU that is used for your phone okay. go to this link and download the one for your phone. http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
i have done this. my phone has 2.2.1 stock and i did not rename the file.
I think, i cant flash the hboot, because the alpharevx hbootversion is higher than the stock hboot...i think i read it somewhere...
no thats wrong the other way it to push it to the phone using fastboot and windows command prompt. this is the only 2 ways of gaining s-on again. trust me i have done it on my wildfire and 5 others and worked 1st time everytime
i will be shortly taking a video of me using this programme to gain s-on then you will all be able to see it working. it will not be untill my partner gets home but asoon as its uploaded i will share the url and let you all see that this way works 100% it is maybe somthing you are doing wrong ???? have you unzipped it to a sub fol;der on your desktop ????? and did you run it as admin ?? and if yes to them both. did you 1.rename the HBOOT file ?? or 2. did you move it out of the unzipped folder ???/
i trust you, but it get an error xD
edit: yes...i am an informatic specialist..i should know, what i should do and not..
lol. i dont know what to suggest then. it is odd because it has work flawlessly everythime i have flashed HBOOT/SPL. hmm i dont know then. i have done this method over 15 times to my own wildfire just to make sure it work 100% and could be used by other people. it has worked with alpharevx HBOOT and revelutionarys HBOOT which are both 6.01.1002 so its really weird it never worked for you :S
Strange...
An idea: I have the hboot from alpharevx from a very early closed irc beta. maybe this hboot is in some way locked. Can i flash the hboot with revolutionary again and use your tool? maybe the revolutionary hboot is different to the early closed irc beta :/
aslong as you know what your doing yes. it is possible. if you can get the revelutionary HBOOT then it will flash. then you should be able to flash the s-on HBOOT no problem
revolutionary dont let me flash their hboot -.- they say, i already s-off, so no flash needed -.-
ah i see, you said "if i can get the revolutionary hboot"...yep, i dont think, i can get the hboot
do you know the commands for flash the hboot manually?
do you know how to use command promt in windows ????
I got my sisters Wildfire here and it's stuck in a bootloop.
It is NOT rooted, has no S-Off and so on.
It has the stock rom.
It didn't run fluently, so I just rebooted it. But since then it doesn't boot.
Tried taking out battery, putting it back in, no success.
Tried taking out SD-Card. no success.
Then I booted into Bootloader (Vol + Power down).
Buzz PVT Ship S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0001
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELCO 3_16ac
RADIO-3.35.20.10
All I get to choose is Fastboot, Recovery, Clear storage and Sim-lock.
Recovery turns out to be nothing, I can't get to it. Might be, because there is no CWM on it.
I was lucky to be able to root and s-off my DHD, so I don't have any idea, how to fix this problem with the Wildfire.
Any suggestions how to solve this little problem?
Thanks in advance
Which method u adopted for rooting....try revolutionary method and u will be s-on....bt ur mobile doesn't on....try to intall ruu which can be downloaded from shipped-roms.com,download wwe version file....run it,it will install stock rom again,then enable debugging mode,goto revolutionary.io fill the form and copy generated alphanumeric code carefully and download the file run it and u will get s-on....

And if, what to do next with it?
Thanks in advance
- Extract the Rom.zip from the RUU you listed. Procedure here:
http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
- Rename this zip to PC49IMG.zip
- Place this on the root of the sd card
- Reboot in HBoot mode, the phone will detect the file and will attempt to install. Select Yes and let it proceed.
Thanks, I'll do that when I'm done in University :-D
Just so I have more opportunities in case this happens again.
Could you give me a link to a instruction how to root and s-off?
This would help
And, just in case, which do you think is the best Custom Rom for the Wildfire?
You can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF and Clockworkmod Recovery. Guide here:
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06/wildfire-22-root-tutorial.html
The only thing that has changed is AlphaRev's Website. The new address is revolutionary.io. Everything else remains the same. Although, you will need a booting device to get it to work.
Lastly, ROM choice depends on whether one would like to keep HTC Sense or not. If not, then I would go with Cyanogenmod / Oxygen (Two ROMs I am pretty sure are available for the DHD as well). And, if you would like to keep HTC Sense, then the current favorites are DK Custom ROM and RemPuzzleROM.
Complete Listing available in the Index Thread linked in my Sig.
Good Luck
I only want to flash a ROM on the Wildfire. My dhd runs on arhd and I won't change that well, unless there's a newer version of arhd
Anyways, what is the best sense ROM
for the Wildfire? Should run smooth but stable and fast. And of course it should've good battery life

I'm stuck myself. Wildfire is working again, but neither can I root nor can I make S-OFF.
On AlphaRevX it "sends in Caroline" and "Caroline" comes out with an error report
However, USB-Debugging was turned on, SD Card active, connected to pc, but "only charge"...
That far for S-Off...
Then I'm trying unrevoked. Works so far, until the Wildifre is in the bootloader. Unrevoked tells me, it's waiting for bootloader. When I choose Fastboot on the device, unrevoked works on and tells me "Waiting for HBOOT to be ready..."
Nothing happens after that. If I choose Bootloader on the device, unrevoked tells me, that it has lost connection to the phone.
Then I tried Gingerbreak. Gingerbreak works, reboots the phone, I check for SU and can't find it. So I guess it's not rooted then :-/
Any suggestions?
Your only (free) option is Revolutionary on Wildfire's with official 2.2.1 and HBoot 1.01.x. Any other method (Unrevoked, Gingerbreak, SuperOneClick etc) will not work and will result in failure. Errors on Revolutionary can usually be treated EXCEPT when it says "Not writing bad block at mtd 0x00000", in which case, there are bad blocks on the NAND memory, and there is no fix yet.
The paid option is to find a store with an XTC Clip hardware box, which can S-OFF the Wildfire as well. They will charge you a 1-time fee for using it.

So since this is exactly the fault that is displayed, there is nothing I can do...
But this other tool for s-off ain't working either. If I'd have at least s-off...in this tutorials I first make s-off and afterwards there is a zip archive which will give me SU. Can I install cwm without Root? I'd really like to flash cyanogen...

No, unfortunately, as I stated in my previous post, you cannot.
The best option will be revolutionary but solve ur first problem and then move on to this...we r always here....
