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

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.

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.
I've done a fair few flashes with my Desire and always found it quite easy to follow and do, but I am so, so, so confused about how to go about attacking the HTC Desire.
Essentially, I want to root it and install a custom ROM (maybe change a radio, that's it). However, there is no set of instructions in any one thread, it's all over the place.
So far, i've managed to permroot my brothers phone using Visionary. Now, the next step is getting Clockwork Recovery. However, there seems to be two version 2.x (installed by ROM manager) and version 3.x. Apparently the former doesn't work for CM7... but I cannot find how to actually get Clockwork 3.x installed (easily...).
What are the most popular DesireHD ROMs and do they all require Clockwork 3.x? Also, what is S-Off... and do I need it!?
Because standard Desire does not have nearly as tight security as DHD has. You need S-OFF to get clockworkmod, and if you want to flash CWM 3.x, you need ENG S-OFF. Only gingerbread roms need CWM 3.x.
S-OFF: Phone security off, internal memory becomes read/write, you can flash anything you want, no version checks etc.

I suppose so. So basically, the steps are:
Root phone - Done
S-Off/Eng S-Off
Install Clockwork Mod
Install ROM
The bit I find trouble with is how to do the clockwork mod bit. It seems like CM is the best DHD ROM, but that requires Clockwork Recovery 3.whatever and to get that installed you have to go through a ton of SDK stuff. Is there an easy way to get it installed?

Simple answer, no.
Please try following the advice you are being given and search the development forum, if your not willing/able to devote the time to reading up on S-OFF and installing CM7 please leave well alone and save us all a little time
To be honest I think that dhd is quite easy to root. You have one click tool in stickies so really a monkey could do it.

One Click-tool? For the latest update you have to downgrade,that looks not so easy?

Yeah, downgrading makes it a bit harder, true. But after downgrading it is a breeze.
Wating for a new tool or updated visionary?

Visionary will not do it, but I might make a tool to handle all those downgrade commands. I am busy now, however, so you should not wait for it.

I wouldn't hold your breathe, whilst there is a simple-ish downgrade route the chances of anyone going to the great effort of needlessly finding and exploiting a new security flaw are remote. Anyone desperate for root will probably take the downgrade route and anyone unable to grasp the steps involved would probably be better served by a stock rom
I'm looking forward for an automatic tool to downgrade...Jkoljo

Tech support, without root access you are unlikely to do anything terminal to your DHD software wise, so that should limit your tech support to hardware issues. With root access ham fisted people are returning phones with user inflicted software problems
Hi guys I came across this and it worked for me running 2.33 hope it works for you the main site is in German, just translate. the tool is in English and read me.
Info: Below
This is possible with the new Ace Advanced Hack Kit by attn1 original instructions: [TOOL] Advanced Hack Ace kit features:
Fully integrated / invisible gold card process
Only one step - one click
No full downgrade needed (only radio and kernel, and this automatically)
No Wipe - No data is lost
ROM works then completely
Rooted in full - including S-OFF
Busybox Manager app preinstalled
Radio S-OFF, and no SIM lock SuperCID
Correct radio is automatically restored (HSPA +)
ClockwordMOD ROM and managers are automatically installed
Supports Froyo and Gingerbread - 2.50.xxx.x also firmware and new !
Easily reversed
...
Notes:
Please do not run if the DHD -offed is already saturated and / or a CustomROM runs on it. DHDs only for stock!
Important Windows: Disable all anti-malware software. This can produce false alarms and unnecessary files damage - Brick-risk!
Not run in a virtual machine. ADB requires direct contact with the DHD !
During the process, the screen may be dark - that's ok! If the process is complete, return the image
This kit should work with all versions of the DHD and function of the HTC Inspires
The SD card in the DHD should first be formatted. That is, either take another SD card that is formatted and empty, or copy only the contents of the card to the PC, then reformat. After completion of the hack, the data can be reloaded onto the card.
(Eg various play ROMs), many of the advanced points are designed for the AT & T and are NOT to Inspire our Euro- DHD will be playing! Effen manual instructions!
And now the most important point:
Necessarily the Effen manual read. can find it in aahk package as a separate download in English or in German.

Used this myself a week ago almost. Absolutely brilliant piece of kit. Being a complete noob I wasn't sure if it had radio s-off'd my phone but it had.

Looks great but...
My Desire HD is a UK T-Mobile brand running the current (UK) OS and radio and firmware.
Is it simply a case of downloading this software and running it on my Windows (7) PC? Or do I need to do stuff before that?
Once I've installed it, does it include a ROM or do I download and install a ROM separately?
And, lastly, will I have to re-install T-Mobile (UK) settings to get it to work after I run the software?
Cheers.
Just run the cmd file from Windows 7 (you must have Android USB driver or Android SDK Tools installed on PC), sit back for 3-5 minutes and you have fully rooted DHD.
My OS are 2.50.405.2
This is a "one click" tool as written by author as work perfect for original OS delivered with DHD
(You can drop the manual downgrade process as also work perfect but take longer time to do)
I'm on 3 and did it a week ago. All this tool does is root and S–OFF your phone. Your network settings wont be changed. Its well worth it.
After that its a case of picking tour rom. I've played with arhd and currently playing with cm7.1.

Finally rooted!
since I can't post in the original thread (due to lack of post), i would like to thank the Dev of AceHack. I bought my DHD with Froyo and upgraded to GB without realizing how much of a pain it was to Root GB. So after months of research trying to root my DHD on my Mac..I thought i'd give AceHack a try. It was so EASY and a breeze on Mac, my day has been made. So I am very thankful and happy now that I have superuser access on my phone. Thanks again!
Thanks !
I had missed this and just rooted my DHD

i would have to say these steps are easier to do on a mac. no emulator or any drivers needed. plug in ur phone to your mac with USB debug ticked, open terminal under utilities and run the script. the instructions in the download files was so easy to follow. i definitely recommend this for all mac users.
Does this method work with unbranded devices? That "gold card process" etc, is disturbing me a little bit.
Would this work for the AT&T Inspire 4G as well?

Anyone flash this ROM and not the recommended radio? I left the radio as is and I have not witnessed any problems. My phone seems fine. Internet download is fine etc and I think the phone is much smoother and faster. Battery life increased to 100%. Last night i was on my phone for 4 hours straight from 80% - 10% battery.
if it can make my phone even faster, i may do it but not sure if it would affect any network settings.

i also need to backup the stock ROM in case i needed to re-install it ...
Any help ???

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.

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...

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.
