strange 32B

Hi there
I got a white 32B from German Vodafone.
Code:
SAPPHIRE PVT32B SHIP S-ON G
HBOOT-1.330007 (SAPP10000)
CPLD-10
RADIO 2.22.19.26I
Jul 31 2009.15.49:25
It has 1.2.1 recovery, which is nice, as I can change the ROMs, but...
I have no idea how the guy flashed this recovery. I'm trying with the second phone (exactly the same)
The method with original RUU and downgraiding, fails (wrong RUU for this model).
I can't fastboot boot or fastboot flash on both phones. I get FAILED (remote: not allow) and the SPL is NOT perfect!
The guys here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4649780&postcount=43
have the same problem.
How can i use fastboot? Guess the perfect method is not for me.
How can I root the second phone? It has 1.6 now and refuses to go back to 1.5...
Ok the method with flashing ENG SPL via update.zip via recovery worked for the 1st phone (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019)
Now it's only how to root the other...
BTW What does RADIO mean (on the fastboot 3-boards white screen) ? I can't find it...

It seems that we have the exact same model
As you saw on my thread, I used the 1 method click to flash the recovery rom, and from that install the ROMS.
As for the flashscreen, I did not find an answer, I guess that the only solution will be to flash a new SPL that allows to flash through fastboot.
On some threads that I created and were blocked since they were in the wrong section(I was stupid, twice...), they have sugested to update to the Engineering SPL 1.33.2005 using the recovery method tool.
I have never tried it since I haven't seen anyone with HBOOT-1.330007 that have changed its SPL... I don't want to risk bricking it... I have been told that there are some risk, but not too big... any way, I still have not tried to flash the SPL.
You said that you have flashed a first phone with a ENG SPL, what was its original SPL and how did you flashed if?

I had this spl inside my Magiic from Voda Germany
HBOOT-1.33.0007 (SAPP10000)
I used "RecoverFlasher" to get another recovery inside.
Then I Booted into recovery mode and flashed
HBOOT-1.33.2004 into the phone.
It is now running perfectly well with AmonRA s rom
and AmonRa 1.23 recovery inside

Humm, thats excellent news, finally someone with an HBOOT-1.33.0007 that had changed its SPL
Thanx
Did you use the "Engineering SPL 1.33.2004 - MD5 : 1B49F0A53E147171E7C51F08510CF95F" from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019?

Well for now I've got
1. white 32B with an eng SPL (Engineering SPL 1.33.2010 - MD5 : 865020FBDFBD9C08950076A701A8A003) changed from 0007 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529019). recovery 1.2.1 -> select zip file -> reboot and it worked. then i flashed my boot screen with fastboot, as in the tutorials.
i'm doing everything using the recovery and the 'update.zip' position in the menu. right now having cyanogenmod 4.2.2 with my native Polish keyboard installed as an app from the market. Works great.
2. black 32b with Donut 1.6 which refuses to do fastboot and adb flash. What's more HTC Sync doesn't recognize the phone and the RUU (from the 1 click method) says there's an error with the files (and shows strange ROM version installed on my phone)

Thats the one I used

I guess that your only option will be to use the "Gold card" method, but I really don't know how that works, there are quite a posts over the forum with info on that, a quick search will tell you how.

I keep getting this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
and later err 155...
seriously wt*?

Have you tried the "Gold card" thing?

nope, i don't feel like buying and then destroying an SD card I'm not that desperate... yet!
I'm concerned about that RUU which shows vfpioneer-user instead of the ROM version...

I don't know how the goldcard method works, but how will it destroy your SD card?

I've found in some tutorials that when you write bytes to the card it stops working as a normal card. Probably because you write from sector 0, and i guess there is some important data stored.
If personally find it VERY odd. If you can use (under linux) dd to write to the card, then you can use it to read from it it's original bytes and restore them later. That is ofcourse if the card (after turning to goldcard) will be recognized as a SD card...

I do believe if that happens, if you make a copy with dd, you can safely restore it. Just to be sure, you can also make a backup of the partition table of the sdcard.
Oh, the dd tool is also available to windows, but I guess this kind of things should be done on linux

I don't mind using linux. Actually I use both everyday. And it seems easier to use dd than some fancy hex editor under windows.
Anyway, my only concern is that, I may overwrite the bytes which identificate the card as a SD card (and not as a MMC for instance) and then the usb reader and linux woun't be able to use it... So there will be no way to use dd to restore backup...
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I'm exaggerating and the only problem some ppl had was with the Windows Hex editor editing to much. I see no reason why the 'dd method' shouldn't work...

Ahhhhhhhh!
Finally some progress, little but still. RUU finds my phone (and version number) only if my magic is in fastboot mode! Then it actually works, until it starts to check the CID number...
rom.zip contains android-info.txt which has a different cid number (i'm talking about the 1click method).
The question which arises is why can't i edit rom.zip and put there recovery flash, eng SPL, modified ROM and force an update by changing CID in .txt?

And an answer:
because CID check is done between the phone and the .img files, the txt is only supplementary. So preparing another .zip file doesn't work

Wildfire Mystry! Need help

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.
Cheers

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

Want to repurpose/play around with my G1

Hello,
I recently got a Nexus One to replace my old G1. Now that the Nexus One is my daily driver phone, I want to get my hands dirty and play around with my G1. Even though I had my G1 for nearly a year, I never went ahead and installed any custom ROMs on the thing fearing that I'd somehow brick the phone or mess it up in some way, so I stuck with the official Donut update (it's been hard using Android 1.x while everyone has been using >2.x for the past year or so).
Anyway, I've wiped the G1 back to factory settings and then downgraded it to RC29 (using this guide) so I could activate it over WiFi (I don't have an active SIM in the phone). So right now, I'm on stock Android 1.0.
I think I want to try a Sense ROM on my G1 (Sense is my favorite custom Android UI and I think it looks pretty darned good, too). Are there any decent Sense ROMs for the G1 that are fast and stable? Preferably, I'd like them to be based on Android 2.0 or higher for better app compatibility (and maybe multi-touch).
I won't be using the G1 as a phone (or at least I don't plan to). I intend on using it mainly to browse the internet over WiFi.
Since I've never done any rooting or custom ROM installations on my phone, I'm a bit of a noob at the entire rooting/flashing process. Are there any special precautions that I'd need to take on a phone running stock Android 1.0?
Thanks.

hey,
here's a good sense rom:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116154 it's android 2.1 Eclair.
to flash that rom, your going to have to root and upgrade your radio/spl here's a good guide for that:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098899
Just follow that guide and you should be good.

and your also going to have to partiton your sd card with swap and ext 4 partitions so just follow my instructions:
Ok, so heres what your going to do.
We are going to partition through recovery:
boot into recovery
go to the partition sd card option
click partition sd card
use these sizes:ext 2: 512 mb, linux swap : 96mb, and the rest is for the fat 32 partition
then once that is done, click ; SD:ext2 to ext3 :: Convert ext2 to ext3
then once that is done, click : SD:ext3 to ext4 :: Convert ext3 to ext4
and u now have ext 4!
and there ur done.

these are instructions for amon ra recovery so make sure u have that recovery when doing these instructions
Good luck and have fun flashing!

Thanks...
Before I do anything, should I upgrade to Android 1.5 or 1.6 or will it be easier for me to do this process on 1.0/RC29 (which I believe can be easily rooted).
Here's what I currently have on the phone:

Upgrade to android 1.5 it'll make things easier.
Sent from my Gingerbread on Dream using XDA App

yeah i believe you need 1.5 to gain root access on device
@maximo thanks for reccomending my ROM & rooting guide
@beanboy if you have any further questions maximo and myself are usually available so dont be shy to ask questions!!! there is nooooo stupid question out there when it comes to rooting your device! nobody wants a brick in there pocket

Easiest way to root would be upgrade to 1.6
Run universal androot
Install rom manager and flash recovery of choice through there.
Then you should upgrade to the 0013d spl and 27.08 it 28.25 radio.
Then flash rom.
(For sense I recommend senselx. (Yes I'm recommending a rom I kinda helped develop )
Otherwise I recommend ezgingerbread.)

I got 1.5 installed, but when I try to update to 1.6 from the SD card, I get this error:
http://i.imgur.com/NuEvT.jpg
I guess I'll have to wait for the OTA update?

I think ldrifta's guide is for 1.5
I've never used 1.5 and I only used 1.6 long enough to root and flash cm.
Universal androot might work on 1.5. Try it and see what happens. If it works then find a flash_image binary and a recovery image and flash it manually
Manual flash instructions via adb:
adb push flash_image /data/local
adb push recovery.img /sdcard
adb shell
$ su
# chmod +x /data/local/flash_image
# /data/local/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
Flashing from the phone works the same way, just with everything run in a terminal and changed appropriately
Or if you have an eng spl you can use fastboot and 3 commands to get the latest radio and spl and custom recovery. Look for ezterry's 14mb ram thread

I think something is up with my G1's hardware. Before I completely wiped everything, I had been having problems with the SD card not being detected most of the time. I tried different cards, and none of them seemed to improve the situation. So, I followed ldrifta's guide since I was already on Android 1.5. I was got through step 1 (installing OI File Manager, installing flashrec from the SD card, and then flashed the backup recovery. I rebooted into recovery mode (I guess it was just the new recovery that I had just flashed). I then wiped the device and when I went to flash the .zip file, it wouldn't let me do so, giving some errors about not being able to read the SD card or something. So I rebooted back into normal Android 1.5 (I think) and now I'm stuck not being able to activate the phone because there's no data. I guess I'll have to go back to RC29 to reactivate. This is beginning to seem like way too much trouble. Ugh.

I had issue with class 2 sdcards in my device. They randomly wouldn't work. Maybe you are having the same problem. Try a class 4 or faster card.
Or if you got to the point of having an eng spl, the only thing the sdcard is needed for us flashing roms. How far did you get into ldrifta's guide?

I got through step 1 and had just started step 2 where I went to wipe the device. The installing update .zip didn't seem to work. I went ahead and reflashed back to RC29 and now I'm back with Android 1.0.
I've tried two SD cards: A 1 GB Transcend (no class because it's not an SDHC card) and two different 4 GB SanDisks (each class 2).

Try to follow his guide up to getting an eng spl if you don't already have one. If you have one then flash the new radio and spl and a recovery via fastboot. Then try to get a class 4 sdcard and see if it helps

I assume I still have the default SPL installed. I don't think I was able to flash any other SPLs. I'll go through and try to upgrade Android again to 1.5 or 1.6. And speaking of that, do I need to install 1.5 before installing 1.6? I see that the .zip for 1.5 is much bigger than 1.6's. Are the updates incremental, meaning I have to have 1.5 installed first and then upgrade to 1.6?

Okay, I got 1.6 installed. I installed 1.5 CRB43, and then 1.5 CRC1, and finally 1.6 DRC83. Apparently you can't update directly from CRB43 to DRC83. I guess I'm now set to start rooting, flashing recoveries, flashing radios, and installing custom ROMs...

I'd suggest Ginger Yoshi 1.2.1

I'm still a bit confused on the process that I'd follow, however. I see guides that say that I need to have a certain radio, installed, a certain recovery, etc. I'm still not exactly sure of what I need or what I need to do it. I know that I can't just flash a custom ROM from the stock recovery and expect it to work. For example, how do I check my radio version and recovery (I think I have the stock recovery)?

[NOT CONTINUING MOVED TO X8 THREAD] The most easy S-ON EVER !!

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

I don't believe that hboot was ever supported. To root and use custom roms you can use htcdev.com and unlock your bootloader. Then use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, then root.

It won't brick your phone the steps are
1. Download and install the SDK. Truth be told you only need adb and fast boot. I think i have a package download for it somewhere. (follow this thread and download the adb file and place it where it says to. the process is the same do not flash the recovery from that thread afterwards though as it is not for your device!).
2. Once you have that fill out the htcdev stuff and they will email you a big long code.
3.you then need o open a command prompt. Use the windows menu, then hit search and type in cmd.
4. You then need to move your command prompt to the correct location. So example: your adb file is located at C:/adb/, you would type in cd c:/ ( then) cd c:/adb/
5. Then connect your phone via USB with the phone in bootloader mode.
6. Type in fastboot oem unlock (and paste in your unlock code)
7. Follow your phones on screen instructions

Complete guide on How to ROOT HTC Wildfire (BUZZ)
What is did and successfully complete on 2 Devices :-
Step 1 for Making S OFF
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
S-OFFing the Device
Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX "now named: Revolutionary" (HBOOT 1.01.0001)
It has been confirmed that AlphaRevX "Revolutionary" tool is not S-OFFing wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002!
Therefore, downgrading the HBOOT to 1.01.0001 is must for the meantime, to get an efficient S-OFF.
Lots of people seem to be having issues when trying to downgrade their Wildfire from a carrier-branded version (HBOOT 1.01.0002) to unbranded WWE (HBOOT 1.01.0001).
So, here’s a small package to help you do this.
click here.
Extract this package somewhere you can find it, like your “Desktop” for example.
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2.
How to deal with Gold-Card Tool:
1. Switch off your phone, remove your microSD card.
2. Insert the microSD card into your card reader, connect it to your computer and format the card to FAT32 file system.
3. Insert the card into your HTC Wildfire and power it on.
4. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone in Menu > Settings > Applications > Development.
5. Connect the phone to your computer via USB and set the mode to charge only.
6. Launch Gold-Card Tool on your computer and click ‘GetCID’.
7. Copy the CID code from the text box and click the link shown below that text box to open it in your browser window.
8. In the browser window, enter all the details required and submit that form.
9. You should now get an email from PSAS. Open it and download the ‘GoldCard.img’ attachment.
10. Now set your phone’s USB mode to Mass Storage.
11. In Gold-Card Tool, click ‘Refresh’.
12. Select your mounted SD card from the drop-down menu saying “HTC MMC:”
13. Click ‘Load Goldcard.img’ and select the file downloaded in Step 11.
14. Click ‘Patch MMC’ and your Gold Card will be created. You may exit Gold Card Tool once done.
After you've made the goldcard, and patched it, continue with step 2.
• Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2.
Revolutionary
* Steps:
1st You need to get to: http://revolutionary.io/ to download the tool, and to get your “beta key” which you’ll get in a pop-up window in the same download page after you click the download link for (windows version).
The “beta key” is a must; the tool won’t work without it!
You’ll be asked to provide your phone “serial no.”, typically it should be something like HTXXETDXXXXX, and you can get it from:
Settings --> about phone --> phone identity.
Now, do the following:
1. Run latest version of HTC Sync on your PC and connect phone in HTC Sync mode and sync all your files. Remove HTC Sync and not the drivers.
2. Reboot phone.
3. Settings->Applications->Development->Check “USB Debugging”.
4. Run Revolutionary and connect phone to PC in “Charge Only mode”.
5. Revolutionary should recognize your phone and show your Device Serial number.
7. Type out the “key” in the Revolutionary tool software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter (you can copy / paste the key).
8. Revolutionary should start doing its job and you’ll get S-OFF in less than 90 seconds.
9. If it takes longer, just wait for the 15 minutes mark, if nothing, then reboot phone and retry.
(Some members got S-OFF after multiple tries)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
For Rooting HTC Wildfire
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Step 2 - Downgrading from Android 2.2.1 Froyo to Android 2.1 Éclair
Download the RUU rom (here) which is an original stock rom. Plug your phone into the PC and set it to "Charge through USB". Double click RUU rom .exe
Follow the on screen instructions and then let it install. Your phone will reboot into stock HTC 2.1
This will be the last time you will be seeing it though.
Step 3 - Gaining root using Unrevoked, get ClockworkMod and set your phone free
Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error
"Validation error, backup CID is missing"
This may be caused as the 3.32 does not support the HBOOT. Hence you need specific test version of Unrevoked 3.2 to do the job. Download it, save it on desktop, and run it. Now connect your phone and the rooting will start. Once done, you will have ClockworkMod recovery installed on your phone.
Reboot your phone now (using the VOLUME UP/DOWN key for navigation and clicking using TRACKBALL, the POWER button takes you back in menus). Once rebooted, you will see the “Superuser” app in your phone and....
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Flashing CM-7.2 ROM (or any other ROM)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Flashing CM-7 ROM (or any other ROM)
Installing CyanogenMod 7 (Android Gingerbread 2.3.3)
Download the CyanogenMod 7 (here) (choose stable mod) for best results and download the latest version.
You will also need Google apps (here) or here (for latest version).
Place both files on desktop, connect your phone as USB disk-drive and transfer both zip files on SD card. Once done, reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery (booting by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button and clicking on recovery)
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side VOLUME buttons to move around, and either the POWER button or the TRACKBALL to select.
• Select the option to “Wipe data/factory reset”.
• Then select the option to “Wipe cache partition”.
• Select Install zip from SDcard.
• Select Choose zip from SDcard.
• Choose update-cm-7.0.3-buzz-signed.zip & Let it install.
• Once done, Select Install zip from SDcard.
• Select Choose zip from SDcard, choose gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
• Once the installation has finished, get back to the main menu by clicking the POWER button and select the “Reboot system now” option.

For root, first downgrade your hboot from 1.01.002 to hboot 1.01.001
You can see a great thread in windfire 'general' forum. I'm on mobile so cant post direct link

hboot 1.01.002

Unlock your bootloader via htcdev, then use fastboot to flash clockworkmod recovery and finally flash tge superuser.zip file and you will have root.
Fyi the downgrade method does not work on hboot 1.02.000 as it was not made for it. If someone was to remake it it may be possible, but htcdev is ready now.
