hi i am getting really frustrated. I'm trying to go back to my original wildfire rom i don't care if its not the telstra original i just need any original. i currently have cyanogenmod7.03 that i installed myself. how do i install the original rom i have booted into that special mode via holding volume down and power down. and i have downloaded some original roms from shippedroms.com and put them on my microsd on my wildfire. help would be appreciated greatly, i have read other threads regarding this but i don't know what to do. i have rooted my phone also.
RUU's from Shipped ROM's are EXE Files. Connect your Wildfire to your PC. and run the EXE File. That's it.
You will lose root though, if you flash an RUU.
Alternately, you can flash this ROM as well. It's stock 2,2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Short Guide for the second method:
- Download the ROM I listed above, and this attachment called update1.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Place both files on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery ("Special Mode" - As you say)
- Once in CWM (Clockworkmod), Select "Install Zip from SDCard")
- Then, select the update1.zip file you placed in Step 1
- Clockworkmod Recovery will reboot, and will start in v2.5.0.7, characterized by Green text
- Here, now select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, again select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- This time, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM.

ok ill have to try the second method because i have an iMac not a pc, and i was browsing through the clockworkmod recovery mode earlier on.
can i use the telstra rom i downloaded from specialroms.com instead of the one you linked me? then follow the second method?
i can't choose update.zip from install zip from sd card because its not a zip, when i click on it, it opens up with three more folders of meta inf, res and sbin. what should i do?
Don't select the option choose update.zip.
First, restart your phone in Clockworkmod:
- Then, select "INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD"
- Here, select an option "CHOOSE ZIP FROM SDCARD"
This will open a tree structure on your sdcard to browse, then select the required Zip file.
I cannot comment on your specialroms.com ROM, because I haven't seen it at all. I have no idea what sort of a ROM you are talking about.
=====================================
Alternately, if you are ok with flashing an RUU, you can extract the ROM.zip from the EXE RUU on a Linux/Mac device using OpenRUU here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711296
Once you get the ROM.zip from the Telstra EXE RUU, then
- Rename the ROM.zip file to PC49IMG.zip
- Place on your sDCard
- Reboot your phone in bootloader mode. (ie - Select Volume down + power. Don't select anything after this). The bootloader will detect the ROM file and attempt to install it automatically.
i just converted the update folder to a zip file on my computer maybe this will work.

No, I don't. Unless you clarify a lot more on what you did, and what problem you are facing, I will most certainly not be able to infer what you mean. The first zip you flash (update1.zip) is supposed to be like that. You should see Clockworkmod with Green Text, and v2.5.0.7 written below. If you see that, the first part is successful.

i am following the second method. so i choose update1.zip from install zip from sdcard. i select yes install update and it loads for like the briefest of seconds. then it goes back to the clockwork mod menu again. my clockwork mod is v2.5.0.1 but i have green writing. is the update1.zip installation supposed to take half a second because thats how long it loaded for me.

Yes, it is supposed to take just half a second. It will only give you Clockworkmod v2.5.0.7. It's the sole purpose of update1.zip.
But, since you have Clockworkmod 2.5.0.1 (I wish I had known this earlier - I assumed you S-OFF'ed using Revolutionary and had the new version with orange text), you can skip a lot of steps.
Now, just simply follow these. (It's a re-written second method, if you will)
- Download the the Safe Flash ROM Zip file only. You don't need update1.zip
- Place the file on your SD
- Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery
- Now, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset"
- Then, select "Install Zip from SDCard"
- Then, select "Choose Zip from SDCard"
- Now, select the ROM.zip file you placed on your SDCard in Step 1
- Let it install, reboot. You should be on a stock 2,2 ROM when rebooting is done

ok thanks i will try this again because i tried it before and it did not work.
What I write in my last post should definitely work. If it doesn't, let me know of the issue you face. I'll try and sort it.

ok. followed the instructions exactly i selected safe buzz froyo.zip and it loaded for about 1second as if it was installing. then the clockwork mod menu appeared again and i rebooted the phone. but it loaded as cyanogen 7 so it didn't work. how long is it supposed to take to install? 1 second? do i need to do something to my microsd card? like make it a gold card or something? I've heard that word before.
No, you don't need a Goldcard for flashing the Safe Flash ROM. (You would have needed one only if you followed the RUU method).
ROM install should take a lot more time than 1 second. Also, it is surprising how Cyanogenmod 7 is loading. Did you not perform a 'Wipe Data' in Clockcowkrmod, as I have stated?
Also, check your ROM file size, make sure the file size matches, and see if you can catch the error message that comes on Clockworkmod when it reboots after 1 second when installing the ROM.

the rom file size is about 120mb. i did perform a wipe data before i attempted to install the rom. yes i will try and see what message comes on the screen in that one second of the rom loading. the phone doesn't reboot after i press install rom, it goes back to the clockwork menu then i hit reboot. i will try again.
Hi people, I have a problem with my phone, I tried to flash it with MIUI 1.12.16 and it seems that something doesn't works because my X5 is rebooting all the time. I follow this tutorial in spanish (http://www.mobilecloseup.com/foro/showthread.php?t=949447) but I will translate it here:
1. First of all download this *.rar http://www.wupload.com/file/2650874587/U8800-51_a_Gingerbread-MIUI.rar which contains 5 folders: dload, MIUI 1.12.16 Multi lenguaje (multilanguage), Recovery Alternativo (CWM 5.0.2.7) [or alternative Recovery], Recovery Original (2.2) and Root para Gingerbread.
2. Format SD card and backup everything.
3. Copy to SD card the "dload" folder and the MIUI zip file which is into the "MIUI 1.12.16 Multi lenguaje" folder of *.rar.
4. Turn off the phone, then push at the same time the two buttons of volume and the on/off button to enter to bootloader mode (pink screen).
5. Inside the new disk unit opened in Windows, copy recovery.img file which is into "Recovery Original (2.2)" of the *.rar into the image folder, just in case if you change original recovery in replace of the clockworkmod one.
6. Extract safely disk unit, take off battery, put again into phone and turn on.
7. Then go to settings, SD & Storage and choose SD update, then accept everything and phone will flash the update to Gingerbread, will reboot during some time and after 5-10 minutos will reboot for the last time.
8. Now you have your phone with Gingerbread 2.3.5 stock, but the aim is to flash MIUI, so the next step is to go to Settings, then Applications and disable quick boot option.
(everything OK until this step... problems started since this point)
9. Erase dload folder from SD card and turn off the phone.
10. Push two volume buttons + on/off button at the same time again to enter to bootlander, then open image folder into the new disk unit and copy to a safe place the boot.img file to backup it, then copy the boot-room.img file which is into the "Root para Gingerbread" folder of *.rar to the image folder and rename it to boot.img, then extract device, take off battery, put again into phone and turn on as usual.
11. You will realize that your phone will be rooted. Now turn off again and do the same procedure but copying into image folder the boot.img file that you backed, also backup the recovery.img file which is into image folder and replace it with recovery.img file which is into "Recovery alternativo" folder of *.rar.
12. Reboot your phone and then turn it off, then push at the same time volume on button + on/off button to access recovery.
13. Just optional: You can backup ROM Stock in Backup option.
14. Choose Wipe Data & Factory Settings, then Mounts & Storage and select format /system.
15. Choose flash zip from sdcard and select from SD Card MIUI *.zip folder that you copied at the very first step.
16. Tap yes and MIUI will be flashed.
I attached some screenshots of what I have in my image folder from bootlander. This is the problem. As I said, my phone is rebooting all the time since I turned on and there is nothing that I can do I finished at the 16th step, please I need your help. If you need more info please ask here, I don't know if I can show you more details because I cannot turn on my phone.
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but devhost deleted the ZIP , don't know why.
Will try it to upload another time.
Why not use mediafire or a shared file in dropbox.
Is there anywhere else I can obtain some of these files in the meantime?
