Can I root?{FROYO WITH 0.80HBOOT}

Hey,
I have a Wildfire 2.2 with 0.80.0002 HBOOT. Can i root it?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Update. I installed the drivers. Tried rooting with 3.14 and the new one. But they fail. The new one says " root failed. maybe your firmware is too new?" and 3.14 just says " root failed".
What could be wrong?
Maybe its because im on froyo? but my hboot is 0.80.0002 so i should get a root. Any suggestions? Maybe i should downgrade to 2.1. I would have an old firmware with an old hboot

Try the OLD....and install Unrevoked Usb driver

Dayum. I cant install adb drivers. windows 7 ultimate x64. ive downloaded some vista drivers then it works. maybe i cant root because of vista drivers?
btw. when i install vista drivers and plug-in my widlfire it says MY HTC in the device manager.

Dude... I'm also using an x64 win7... firstly...use winrar to unpack the reflash package... extract it to someplace u can remember... jus install the drivers according to the instructions given in the 'hboot.html' file in the reflash folder.. its pretty easy... I always used to root my phone using this computer only ... never had a single problem... alternatively u could install HTC sync...( it will install the drivers ) and then remove it (only the application.. not the drivers).. and then try to root...
Hope I helped...

Downgrading is certainly worth a try

I managed to root it via super one click. But now when i try to flash a recovery it says Device "" Is not supported.

Since you have rooted it, follow steps 2 to last from here:

BTW, Are you sure yours is a standard GSM Wildfire and not any of its derivatives like Bee, G8 etc?

um.. sorry for my poor English but what that word " derivatives" means?

Are you sure your phone is a GSM HTC Wildfire and not another Phone like HTC Bee, HTC G8 etc? They are 'rebadged' Wildfires for specific markets / countries.

Noo.I've bought it from one of the biggest sales company in Lithuania . I've rooted it BEFORE(and cuz im stupid i did an update ). But now when i type su in adb my phone SHOULD pop a windows with SU asking for something. But it doesnt :< maybe i didnt root it..

Then how is your HBOOT still at 0.80? Please confirm the same. As far as I am aware, nowhere on the earth (Except the old Chinese release), did the official Froyo release not update the HBOOT to 1.0x
Also, in such cases, apps like Super one click root can only give temporary / shell root, which is pointless really, as it does not help achieve perm root.
What all do you exactly see on your HBOOT Screen? (Power down your phone. Press Power + Vol Down simultaneously, and let me know what it shows)

Yup i have 2.2.1 software & my hboot is 0.80.0002. So how should i root then?

Its amazing how you have the old HBOOT after getting official 2.2.1
Anyway, if the method I posted doesnt work, cant help you anymore. Sorry. Only one more idea I get is to use an old version of Unrevoked, which you state you have already tried.

Pic
Heres the pic :3 taken with my moms desire

You should try downgrading, or manually pushing the recovery (follow link that 3xeno posted above). Rooting really shouldn't be this hard, lol. No version of Unrevoked will work with 2.2 AFAIK for root, as I've heard people flash a 2.1 RUU and then root. That's another option - flash a 2.1 RUU (NOT 2.2) and then unrevoked. its 99% guaranteed to work the first time, and i guess 99.999% guaranteed to work within 3 tries. (0.001 % just in case, lol )
edit: running a 2.1 RUU is probably the easiest way... you should try it.

Ok. I pushed recovery in the hboot menu. thing is . i have clockworkd mod iLol'ed.I forgot Okay so ill try to flash now... Wait for it... wait for it... well install is complete.
I remember now. When i tried to root it a month ago it installed the recovery but it did not root my phone. Now when its rooted(i think) it works!!! LOL

New to HTC DHD ... BUT !!!

Hai guys ...
i purchased a new DHD 2 monthes ago ..
im considering rooting and installing a new ROM ..
BUT !!
It comes with android 2.3.3 , software no. is 2.37.707.3
can that be rooted or what ?
its my first android device ... still dont understand anything but everytime i search on google how to root it .. i find results on the ''froyo'' not gingerbread ...
i also need to backup the stock ROM in case i needed to re-install it ...
Any help ???
thank you ...

Please read the forum rules, use search first.
But it seems you are lazy ass
You must downgrade first to root (works for me months ago build ver. 2.37):

Use AAHK
You can use AAHK to root and get s-off in one step without manually downgrading first. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821

if you are rooted then you can use RomManager (clockworkmod).

For those saying you have to downgrade you have no idea what you are talking about. Especially when you resort to name calling. The Advanced Ace Hack Kit does not require ROM downgrading. It only downgrades radio and kernal. It is the only currently supported method available. Others have been discontinued or do not work anymore.

Desire hd 2? hasn't that been announced as HTC sensation?
Either you mean desire hd or sensation

Once you've unlocked the Legend download and run the HTC Supertool V3 from your machine, select option 1 then option 3 and you'll be permanently rooted, then you can install rom manager and deploy whatever rom you want.

So, if I vaguely recall correctly,...
This basically means we won't need the gold-card trick anymore.
I use my Legend for app testing, both CM7 and Blayo ROM as a proxy for stock. I avoid real stock ROMs because they tend to be a pain to re-root etc.
So perhaps I can try real stock ROMs and be able to switch back that much easier...

Hi
I have a legend running cm7 with S-on, how can i get S-off now?
Thx

Thanks. I've done the HTCDev part, I'll do Supertool and custom rom at weekend. I can use clockworkmod from market to install a rom or do I have to use a Legend specific version ?

This is to get s-off? I'm on 1.01 Hboot. Using CM 7.1 stable
Sent from my Legend using XDA App

nope... just the unlock bootloader... but you can use most of the S-OFF function.
with this you can flash your recovery part of your phone and also have system writes.

Can i install/change system fonts ?

Well, we don't know that as of yet (that's still a big mistery to us) but I can assure you that one who would find that out would most certainly be elected as president of the Internetz.

Have done HTC dev part and now with hboot 1.02. So next step should be to use super tool?
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App

Yes, option 1 and 3, gets you root.

I tried the steps mentioned in wiki using super htc tool 3 and then using ROM manager. I was happy that it's almost done but got stuck with red triangle and exclamatory Mark when tried flashing cm7. What next ?!

Touchscreen not working after aospx update!!!

Hey guys,
I updated my Desire HD to aospx BR7 but upon rebooting the touchscreen is not responding at all. I have tried rebooting the phone multiple times and have taken the battery out but its not working I have a nandroid backup for the BR6 but I have touch recovery so I cannot access that either. Is there a way to access that nandroid backup or flash a different rom without the recovery? I would really appreciate any help
Cheers
EDIT: I was able to use fastboot to flash the CWM recovery but upon restoring my aospx BR6 nandroid backup, the touchscreen is still not responsive. I tried a fresh install as well but its still not working. Any ideas?? Cheers

1:Reboot into bootloader
2:Connect your phone to your pc
3:select fastboot
4:run a RUU for your phone
See if this helps.

Thanks for the reply mate. I found this RUU ROM from the Desire hd development list....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
Is that ok to flash? Also the poster is giving instructions on flashing it through the recovery but how would I go about flashing it through fastboot? Like I know when flashing radio you just write fastboot flash radio radio.img. Are there multiple disc images that I have to flash?
Cheers

Go into fastboot and run this RUU from your computer:

Thanks for the tip Muikuman. I was able to successfully go through the steps but the touchscreen is still not responsive. I have lost the CWM recovery as well which I expected (I can just flash recovery though fastboot again right?) Any other possible solutions?? cheers

Hmm =\ yes you can flash the recovery from fastboot. But this seems to be a hardware issue. It's not responding at all?

yea not responding at all mate. Yea might be hardware issue but the problem came up as soon as the ROM was flashed so I was thinking it might be like a touch driver or something. I tried flashing recovery but I get this
writing 'recovery'....FAILED <remote:not allowed>
If i cant sort this out in the next week....I might as well send it for repair and hope that the service guys dont discover that the phone is rooted and I have voided the warranty. Appreciate your help Muikkuman :good:

Hehe no problem my friend. You are unrooted after the RUU only S-OFF so I don't think they notice. And you should got the right drivers with the ruu so...

Guess what....I tried a vodafone uk RUU...thinking that it might have the vodafone splashscreen at boot up so repair guys dont suspect anything weird. When i flashed it the touchscreen magically started working :laugh: Now in order to root, recovery and ENG S-off.....I know there is like the ace hack kit. While reading the instructions, it said that I shouldnt use the tool if I have S-off and i do. Should i bite the bullet and give it a shot?
Here is the info for the phone
Android version: 2.2
Software number: 1.32.405.3
baseband version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.15_M3
In the bootloader it says: Ace pvt ship S-off
hboot- 0.85.007

Nope.
Check if you have a recovery. If not just flash one. I believe, not sure, that the hack kit will give you those options in the event you don't have a recocery.

Check to see what are the other options for the hack kit. I can't remember if it has one if you are already s-off. But do not run it again since you are already rooted, if you do it will mess things up.
I'll try to do a search in a few hours on how to fix your issue, if I don't fall asleep first. I can't remember the solution off the top of my head.

Thanks for the link. After reading and trying to understand, I'm still unsure. I've worked with CWM before but I don't understand the S-OFF stuff?
I can't find a step-by-step tutorial

Well, boot into hboot and what does it say there? If it says s-off then all you'll need is to flash a recovery to flash roms.
S-on you'll need to root it using the hack kit.

Thanks for the reply. HBOOT? Turn the phone off and hold Volume - ? It tells me S-ON at the moment.

Is the phone still stock? If so, search google for AAHK, read the manual, its all you need to do. Easy
