HTC Wildfire Unroot Help

ii want to unroot my htc wildfire. I want to unroot it using a Debranded RUU.
however, when i try using an unbranded RUU i recieve an error
ERROR [131]: CUSTOMER ID ERROR
my phone was originally on 3g.
is thier a way i can unroot the device and have it debranded?
thnks

What version of Android has it got? Also use Unrevoked 3 first!

Its currently Rooted and has a custom rom on it 2.2.1.
i thought you have to revoke it when you want to root the phone?

Oops! Misread your question, thought you said root not unroot!
Do you know what radio it had originally? You should be able to find one on the shipped ROMS site.
Sorry
EDIT: By the way, did you make a goldcard? Did it decline it?

i dont remember what radio it had on thier. However, i updated the radio from a link i seen on the Wildpuzzle rom thread.
it oringnally had 3 software on there.
i want to unroot it with debranded firmware.
ive tried this
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.3
1_release_142189_signed.exe...
and im recieving the error mentioned above
thnk

I assume you have looked here? http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz

Hi, yes thats were i downloaded the firmware.
but im recieving errors when using the update

Do you want Froyo? If you do then this "should" work. HERE
You will NOT be able to re-root on that ROM.
Or if you don't want it then try this Eclair ROM HERE
Give them a try and tell me what happens!
Hope that helps you

Hi, i want to reroot in the future so i wont go for the froyo update.
just to be sure, if i update using the eclair update will i be able to still root in the future?
im still recieving the same error it goes all the way to writing signiture and then just shows the error.

Really sorry, I don't know what it is if that didn't work
I'm assuming the 3 you're on is 3UK? You could try to install it as a gold card if you know how.
EDIT: Here's how to create one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572683

I just succesfully unrooted the device. After making a Goldcard. djdevine2 your help was much appreciated.
Thanks

What version of the xplay do you have? if you have a SIM free play, you can just unlock the bootloader, and flash a rooted image or flash a rooted update.zip from recovery..... anyway read the stickies in the android development section, all the answers you seek are there

im on o2 ,
ive been reading quite a bit , just want to be sure of what im doing
i dont understand about unlocking the bootloader , so would just like to root is that possible with the way im thinking of doing
thankyou for your time

Follow the guide here if you want root with a locked bootloader.

thank you
for replys
hopefully all will go well
once again thanks

sorry guys just a quick one
not rooted yet been busy
after root and ota update
if i wanted could i still use sues to restore phone if needed to put it back how it was
thanks

Yes as long as your bootloader is still locked you can use SEUS to take to you back to stock.

When will the mytouch 4g 2.3.4 be rooted?! I read on October 1 that it'll be rooted "in the coming weeks"...its nearly November. Anyone have any updates at all? Or will 2.3.4 never be rooted? Thank you for all of your help!

likely never

it will come out when the developers release it.

it'll be rooted when you downgrade to 2.2.1 :X
j/k or whenever, dunno how much progress/work people have been making on developing it

downgrade
I have tried that available link to downgrade but all in vain. i successfully got temp root but not able to perem root. so when i put downgraded stock rom, recieving message newer version is there and visionary is not helpful in my case.
Any idea how to do that .
The only reason i want to root is my camera . i dont know what happened to it. but whenever i try to use my camera it ended up in blank screen.
I am not good in that but thinking to change the rom maybe it resolve my problem
Any help / guidance thanks in advance.

What do you mean newer version? Are you following the downgrade guide that requires adb to push, execute some files, and flash all by adb. When you downgrade, you don't simply flash the pd15img.zip you should follow the guide.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Look in my signature, see a link to Wiki. Open it, go to section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread 2.3.4". There will be a guide which needs to be executed IN FULL.

Try and read this with caution NOT ME OR THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS IS REPONSIBLE... it has a one click downgrade and a one click root.. after all that is down, there's a root version of gingerbread available... one step at a time...

[Q] Upgrade to 4.2.2 while rooted

I've tried searching but can find anything specific it would be good if in the tips or Q&A that there was a pointer to a definitive article on upgrading an android version when rooted.
I'm a relative new user to Android and have recently purchased the Nexus 4 and one of the first things I did was root it and thanks to the 'idiot guides' didn't have a single issue but now that 4.2.2 is out I've been unable to find a definitive set of instructions for upgrading Android while rooted.
Could someone throw together a guide for us newbies on what the options are for upgrading and how to got about it as I'm sure there are others that are rooted and don't know how to upgrade to the latest version?
Thanks
Jon

In order to flash the OTA you need stock recovery and stock kernel and enable usb debugging on your phone. You can download the OTA from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1971169. Place this zip in the sdk platform-tools map. Reboot in recovery: adb reboot recovery and choose adb sideload. Then select the OTA-package and it will be flashed. You will have te reroot after the update unless you use Root Keeper.

There you have everything about updating http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848 Btw if you have just root then you should have no problems with updating when you receive OTA notification

Im rooted with CWM. I received the OTA notification last night.
I pressed reboot and install. CWM installed the update and then asked me if I wanted to keep root. Phone rebooted and I had 4.2.2 with root. So simple!

[Q] D801 TWRP after 4.4 (Rooted)?

Hello all, I did a quick search and did not find an answer, so I apologize if this was asked already. This is sort of a 2 part question.
First, I wanted to try out the official 4.4 on my D801 so I used THIS file to update without loosing root access. The only loss is it takes away your TWRP. Is there anyway I can get a recovery installed so I can switch between stock and custom? That would be awesome.
If its not possible, is there a way for me to downgrade so I can use ROM's again? I know its easy with a .kdz on a PC, but unfortunately (I really mean it, this sucks) I have a mac.
I really appreciate any help!
Thank you!
