I have finally managed to root my phone. after trying for a rather long time, i did it yesterday and am running modaco custom ROM which is superb. I have listed the instructions I followed in case anyone else is having the same issues as i had
(unable to backup via amon RA image - backup failed)
Text in Bold indicates something you need to type
(Instructions taken from various sites - for XP only - Credits to Unlocker & Modaco)
If your current build number is 2.73.405.5 you can skip the Goldcard section
Phone Details:
Model Number
T-Mobile G2 Touch
Firmware Version
1.5
Baseband Version
63.18.55.06FU_6.35.07.08
Kernel Version
2.6.27-0078c992
Build Number
2.73.110.26 CL#69351 release-keys
Software Version
1.0.0.A6288
In order to root the phone, I had to downgrade the build number from 2.73.110.26 to 2.73.405.66.
Setting UP ADB on XP
First things first, we need to download and setup android SDK,
1) sdk can be downloaded from developer.android.com/sdk/
2) Extract the file to c:\AndroidSDK
3) Plug your phone in to the pc via USB cable. Windows should automatically find the drivers and you should get a message in the bottom right corner saying "device is setup and ready to use" (or something similiar).
Any issues here, google is your friend, find the drivers for your device
4) Now that windows can "see" your hero, click on Start, Run, type cmd and hit enter.
5) on this screen we need to check if adb is working so change the directory to where we extracted the sdk folder:
cd\ press enter
cd\ AndroidSDK\tools press enter
adb devices press enter
You should get something similiar to:
List of devices attached
HT9BTL900210 device
6) If you see this number, all is ok so far.
Now that adb is setup and we can communicate with our phone from the pc we need to create a Goldcard
Create Goldcard
( I tried with a 8GB ScanDisk and it worked)
Take a bakup of your sd card data, copy the files to your pc, before creating
a Goldcard as we need to format the card.
1) Ensure SD card is in your phone, click on Menu | Settings | SD Card & Phone Storage | Unmount SD card, wait a few ticks, then click on Format SD Card
2) Press back a few times and go to Settings | Application | Development and put a tick in USB Debugging
3) Connect the phone to the pc, then click on Start | Run | enter cmd and hit enter, we get the same command window as before
4) Now we need to obtain a code so that we can create the gold card. in the command prompt enter the following:
cd\ press enter
cd\ AndroidSDK\tools press enter
adb devices press enter
you should see a serial number displayed
5) Now type the following
adb shell press enter
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid press enter
You should get something similiar to this:
045354535230384780705c3088008a10
Make a note of this code.
6) Next go to this website >> http://hexrev.soaa.me/ , enter your code and click on Submit and make a note of the new code
7) Now go to http://revskills.de/pages/goldcard.html, fill in your details and paste the code, click on submit and check your e-mail. The godcard will be e-mailed to you, save this to your desktop.
8) Now we need to download and install a HexEditor so click the following link, download and install
http://download.cnet.com/HxD-Hex-Ed...068.html?part=dl-HxDHexEdi&subj=uo&tag=button
9) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount
10) Open the HexEditor and click on Extras | Open Disk | Under Physical Disk select Removable disk, uncheck "Open as Read Only" and click OK
11) Click on Extras | Open disk image | select the goldcard.img file (sent to you via email) Click ok when prompted for the disk size (512 Hard Disk/Floppy Disk)
12) You should have 2 tabs, one is your sd card and the other the goldcard. click on the goldcard, click on Edit | Select All, then Edit | Copy.
13) Click on the sdcard (removable disk) tab, highlight from offset 00000000 to 00000170, click on Edit | Paste Write. The highlighted cells should go red.
14) Click on File | Save and close the HexEditor
15) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage. Pull down the notification bar again and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount. If XP opens the SD card all has worked ok.
16) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage. Reboot your phone with the goldcard (sdcard) still inside.
Downgrade to an older ROM
1)You should already have HTC Sync installed on your computer, if not head over to http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=3&dl_id=852 | download and install HTC Sync
2) Next we need to down load the ROM, RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_..exe which can be downloaded from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RCQ6V92U
3) Connect your phone to the pc and ensure HTC Sync picks up your phone, any issues here, either reboot your pc or phone until the phone\pc can see each other.
4) Double click the file you downloaded RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_..exe and follow the instructions. they are very straight forward. It can take up 10 mins to complete.
Hopefully you should now have a phone with the Build Number as 2.73.405.5
If this is the case, continue reading.
Download Custom ROM
Now would be a good time to download the ROM you want to use, I am currently using Cronos which is based on 2.1 and is super quick
http://www.cronosproject.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=16&sid=332f8bccd0147f4ee8eb093920eb428d
1) Once downloaded, rename the file to Update.zip
2) Connect your phone to your pc and pull down the notification bar again and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount.
3) Copy the file, Update.zip to the root of your SD card.
4) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage
Gain ROOT access
1) On your phone, click on Menu | Settings | Applications | put a tick in "Unknown Sources"
2) Connect the phone to your pc and on your phone, pull down the notification bar and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount
3) Download the following 2 files and save them to your desktop
http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec Version 1.1.3
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WP29CWHK recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img
You can also use recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.img but I found version 1.5.2 worked for me.
4) Copy both of these 2 files to the root of your SDcard, should show as Removable disk\media within "My Computer"
5) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage. Disconnect your phone from the pc
6) Go to the market place and download a file manager, I used ASTRO
7) Open ASTRO and select flashrec-1.1.3.apk (the file you copied over), if prompted select package installer. click in Install if it doesnt automatically install the app
8) Open FlashRec (click on open after install) and click on Backup Recovery Image. Should take a few seconds to backup
9) Now click on the empty text box and type the following
/sdcard/recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img then click on Flash Custom Recovery Image . It should take to long doing this, 10 seconds maybe
10) Power of your phone, once shutdown, hold down the Home and Power button together until the phone boots in to recovery mode
11) On the Recovery Screen, select Backup/Restore (using the trackball) and then Nand backup, this should take a minute or so
12) Next click on Wipe and select Wipe data/factory reset
13) Now select Flash zip from sdcard, this can take up to 5-15 mins. Once this is done, it should prompt you to reboot your phone, if not select "Reboot system Now"
14) Done, hopefully if everything when according to plan your phone should boot with Cronos (whichever rom you chose), the first time it boots it can take ages.
Update Radio
Check to ensure the radio version is 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26, If yes skip this section, if not you can download it from the Modaco site
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...oms-radios-in-update-zip-format-for-gsm-hero/
1) Connect the phone to your pc and on your phone, pull down the notification bar and click to copy files to your computer, Click on Mount
2) Remove the update.zip file from the SD card
3) Rename the radio from 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 to Update.zip
4) On your phone, pull down the notification bar and select to turn of USB storage. Disconnect your phone from the pc
5) Power down your phone, select HOME and POWER to boot in to Recovery mode
6) Select Flash zip from sdcard, this should take roughly 5 mins, reboot the phone.
Thats it your done, If you click on Menu | Settings and nothing shows, reboot the phone again ( I had this rather strange issue)
Setting up SD CARD to work with A2SD
Follow this guide, its very good
http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/
Hopefully you now have a rooted phone all setup and working. As someone on here said, Road to Freedom
Thanks for this.
I'm still stuck. The goldcard seemed to work twice but when I tried the RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_..exe it said "waiting for bootloader" and the screen on the Hero had changed to the white screen with 3 skateboarding androids and what looked like a selectable option "?RUU USB", can't quite remember but there was no way of selecting it and no buttons advanced the process.
Don't know if anyone else got this? Any tips on what I'm doing wrong?
did you receive any erros on your pc, i,e the RUU setup should be running andupdating you with whats happening, did that throw an error?
I will do it again tonight but got something along the lines of "waiting for bootloader.....timed out" Will confirm in the next hour, but some other threads said they needed to create a gold card a few times before one worked.
Any advice welcome
On the windows RUU update utility I get
ERROR [171]: USB CONNECTION ERROR
This is despite the device syncing well and being fully recognised by RUU until failing waiting for bootloader....
On the HTC Hero I get a white screen with 3 skateboarding androids on it.
On the white screen at the top I get
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0007 (HERO10000)
MICROP-010f
TOUCH PANEL-SYN0104
RADIO-6.35.07.08
Aug 4 2009, 19:43:30 (not the current time)
RUU USB <---- Highlighted in orange. making me think you could select it, however, no buttons on the device do anything. The Hero stays like this until I pull the battery out but then it boots normally (even after the RUU.exe exits). If I pull the USB cord out, the USB text dissapears and only RUU remains highlighted.
Any ideas? The SD card used is the stock one shipped with the device which others have said works fine. If no one has a better idea, I will try later using my other 8gb card, but this is a pain as I have to back it all up.
I formatted the SD card ie non-gold card version and repeated the RUU and got the same message so I'm assuming the goldcard didn't work. Sigh... not to back up my 16Gb card...
So i got a SD card another member recommended as working as a gold card = no go.
This is getting beyond a joke now. Nobody has information on what the actual
credentials are for a card to be use able? I've spent too much money on this crap
I think I'll just sell this ****.
So I tried my 16Gb card but that didn't work either.
I don't think I'm that unlucky to get two cards which won't work as Goldcards and am very confident I have followed the instructions correctly.
The only thing I can think of is that as my phone was returned from being fixed only two weeks ago, they may have patched the kernal so even Goldcard will not work. Sigh, I might just have to wait for T-mo to pull their finger out with the 2.1 upgrade.
For what it's worth, Kernel version:
2.6.27-0078c992
Build : 2.73.110.26
Software version: 1.0.0.A6288

Anyone with the same build etc that was able to gold card?
Thanks for this info.
Looks like it's the same. No-one with a goldcard in south london wants a little visit from me and my Hero ?!?
Chaps, I tried 3 times and on my fourth attempt I was successful, I used a 8GB Scandisk Card which worked. I gave up twice but eventually got lucky and it worked so I understand your frustration
It maybe worth uninstalling and re-installing your drivers, or you can try this:
USBDeview >> http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html, download and install
Whilst the phone is plugged in, open USB Deview, find all the htc drivers and delete them, after deleting them, disconnect your phone and plug it back in, drivers should re-install,
Try again with a different USB port on your machine, let me know how you get on
For the guys having problems with goldcards,....
Once you have made the changes to the SD, saved and closed the HEX editor,... re-open it again to make sure the changes have actually saved.
...... Alternatively,... Check to see if there are any differences in the tutorial from this thread, compared to the one here ---> [Guide] Newbie Guide to Install a Custom Rom [Updated 14/04]
Hope something there helps.
Maybe OS may be an issue,... Mine failed on Win7 64bit but worked 1st time with an XP machine.
Complete success!
Seems it was a problem with Win 7 (32-bit).
Worked first time in Vista with the stock 2gb card already created using Win 7 earlier.
Happily now enjoying a custom 2.1 Rom!
Angry yet again with M$.
So pleased I've moved to Ubuntu as my main OS.
I managed to get my goldcard work first time round, fortunately. I used a SanDisk 2Gb card, but curiously, I realised afterwards I forgot to format it, I still had all the hidden linux files (starting with a .) on it
I think all T-mobile branded hero's use the same firmware initially.
Also, I couldn't get the USB to work on Win7, had to go onto XP.
Finally, a guy at my work had the same problem, not being able to goldcard his Hero, I suggested to him, when he goes into the hex editor, include all off the offsets, like when you get down to 170, highlight all the way down to the right of that line.

I highly recomend MCR3.2 (MoDaCo Custom ROM for GSM Hero) ,... Fast, stable,.... No complaints at all. I flashed this on the 1st day i got my HERO,... Now waiting for a stable Android 2.1 release,... Probably MCR4.0.

I have to agree, modaco 3.2 is fantastic, even when memory is running low its still quick, Paul has done an excellent job, flashed the hero with modaco 3.2 as soon as it was rooted, havent tried anything else yet

[QUOTE="tormox, post: 0"]Ok I'll try make this as simple as possible for you all.
[COLOR="Red"]NOTE[/COLOR]: The PS3 firnware HAS to be [COLOR="Red"]3.41[/COLOR]. No less and DO NOT install 3.42 as this blocks the ability to use these hacks.
[COLOR="Red"]NOTE[/COLOR]: To enable playing of backed up games follow instructions in updated part of post 1.
Check post 1 for download link.
[COLOR="Red"]NOTE[/COLOR]: Make sure PS3 is turned off at the mains or power switch for FAT models and the USB cable is unplugged!
Step 1 - Download
Step 2 - Extract the Android folder and place onto the root of your SD card.
Step 3 - Using Windows Mobile go to File Explorer and find the Android folder, then run CLRCAD.exe ([COLOR="Red"]NOTE[/COLOR]: It will NOT appear to have done anything but it will have) then run HaReT.exe
Step 4 - You will see white text flying up the screen this normal, wait for it to finish and the Android lockscreen will appear. Unlock the phone so your on the homescreen. ([COLOR="Red"]NOTE[/COLOR]: Make sure the phone doesnt go into standby and the screen stays on)
Step 5 - Plug the USB cable into your phone and PS3.
Step 6 - Turn the mains switch on for your PS3.
Step 7 - Press the power button and then press the eject button (NOTE: eject button must be pressed right after the power button!)
Step 8 - PS3 will take slightly longer to boot up, this is normal. Download Manager.pkg and put it onto the root of a external HDD (FAT32 filesystem only, NTFS is not supported by the PS3) or a USB stick.
Step 9 - Plug in your HDD/USB stick into the PS3 and go to the new folder under games menu called "Install Package File", open it and click X on the manager.pkg to install.
Step 10 - Enjoy!
[COLOR="Red"]NOTE[/COLOR]: If you wish to rename the PSFreedom folder from Android so that you can use your normal Android build follow these steps:
Step 1 - Open startup.txt from within the Android folder (PSFreedom version)
Step 2 - Change set cmdline "" to set cmdline "rel_path=PSFreedom"
Step 3 - Rename the Android folder to PSFreedom.[/QUOTE]
[B]***UPDATE***[/B]
To enable backup loading, download this:
[url]http://www.multiupload.com/9LHKYKBA6W[/url]
Readme:
[QUOTE]This package contains GScript Lite which has been modified by me.
Assuming your PSFreedom build folder is still named Android...
- Copy the Android folder to the root of your SD card, it will create a new folder in your Android folder on your SD card named AndroidApps.
- Boot Android.
- Enable internet connection (Either Wifi or 3G)
- In order to update PSFreedom, use GScript Lite program in Android and there will be an Update PSFreedom icon there. Keep running Update PSFreedom if all you see is a blue screen with "stderr" and nothing else. You should see the word PSFreedom pop up on the screen. Once that is done, then backups will be enabled.
The latest update will enable backup loading. Enjoy![/QUOTE]
[QUOTE]UPDATE: 22/09/2010
PSFreedom module updated to use latest payload with LV2 Peek and Poke support.
Either use GScript above and update the module or download the module yourself and push it yourself. Get the module from here: [url]http://gamesquare.co.uk/psfreedom.ko[/url]

If someone could make a video on how exactly does the steps needed to be done , it would be wonderful.
Step 1 is clear.
Step 2 and Step 3 question - When do I need to plug the USB cable into PS3, before running haret or after that ? If I plug it after running haret , when exactly do I need to do this , cause haret starts immediately and turns off phone in about a minute ?
Step 4 is also clear.
Step 5 - when must I see the "PSFreedom gadget: Got disconnected" text ? After pressing the front button and eject button , or before that (after switching the back button on)
Step 6 and 7 also Clear.
Thanks for the answers in advanced !!!

STEP 5 - once that is done just plug phone into ps3, turn on mains, then turn ps3 on an press right away an let it boot.
However there is a bug as Darkstone said and he is working it out now.

Does the phone need to be connected to the PS3 all the time to enable PSFreedom to work or do you just do this once and that is it?

Hi guys,
I have a international HTC HD2 win6.5.
I have installed MAGLDR using these 2 post..........
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-boot-android-from-sd-card-of-htc-hd2-with-magldr/
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-magldr-and-how-to-install-and-use-it-on-htc-hd2/
When I boot up now it goes to the MAGLDR bootscreen; how do I make it boot to Windows 6.5?
I believe you don't, it wipes your nand memory so you can then either flash Android or WP7 to the internal memory.
OMG! I didn't know that, I thought it was another version of harret; booting up into harret instead of win6.5..........
hmmmmmm.............is there a win6.5 or win7 I can burn into NAND?

I would like to have original Win6.5 that comes with HTC HD2, is it available here?
Look at posts in Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development section. Especially http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713977
just donwload the official rom from htc (you have it one their support site) and flash it trough your pc or trough SD card but if you flash it with SD it will Uninstal HSPL

this has been asked and answered countless times. it helps to read about how to undo what you are doing before you do it!
answer: simply flash your wm6.5 rom from your sdcard.

It's not possible to flash thru the PC, somehow I can't even transfer files via PC.
How do I flash it thru SD?
I've downloaded it and it's "RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe"
Any progress?

did you do like ANY research or are you just doing something without knowing what the hell you are doing??
in the first place if you thought you could install MAGLDR and still have WinMo in your first place you probably didn't read anything
and concerning flashing that WinMo ROM back on your phone you might want to try and hit that search button because i've seen it hundreds of times explained exactly how to do it...
no progress.........
not sure what to do now...........the UI interface from MIUI current version is not what I am after
[ Before ]
- Official Win6.5 ROM + MIUI SD ROM from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969661)
- but then he said he not support SD anymore
- so I thought of moving to MIUI on my phone
[ Now ]
- with MIUI directly, I find that I can't access my SD from PC
- UI not nice.......
I feel like moving to Win6.5 + MIUI on SD, I find that with these configuration, I can access everything via activesync, if I didn't like a particular Android on SD, I just remove it from SD and restore it easily............

didn't work; the 3 colored screen just sits there on serial.......
4) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.
from this:

20. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
21. Let go volume down button when you see ‘loading…’.
22. Then ROM upgrade screen will be loaded.
I don't get to "21"...........it just sits on "Serial"............
Oh! Stupid me!
I am able to flashed to official ROM now;
[ STR ]
- connect USB
- restart phone and hold down "power" + "volume down"
- the boot menu should change to USB
- and wait for computer to install proper drivers for it
- THEN!! run RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe
I know the problem now, it's because I didn't wait for the computer to finish installing the drivers to communicate with phone

Wow glad everything's fine now. We need you in here to also help others with similar problem.
Great job. I been too busy since my last post in this thread. I was going to help you solve this problem but you the man.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Here's the problem:
Updated DVP mango using the leaked build on my own computer. Updated Dell firmware post mango on a friends computer. Now cannot connect to phone using my own computer, says phone not recognized. Tried reinstalling windows but that doesn't help. Reinstalled zune that doesn't help either. (ofcourse if windows reinstall didn't help ). Went to devmgmt.msc and reinstalled drivers from zune drivers directory but that didn't help either.
Reset my phone but no luck as it was reset to Mango when I actually bought it with Nodo.
Can anyone help please!!

This is why you don't install leaked builds or beta builds.
Reboot your phone into the bootloader (hold vol - and power)
Download the WP7 Update Cab Sender from the Dev and Hacking Forums
Download the mango update cab from the Dev and Hacking Forums as well (there is a list of cabs and there is one SPECIFC to the dell venue pro)
Use the WP7 Update Cab Sender to update your phone.
Cross your fingers.
Hi,
Thanks a lot:
Forgot to mention the following: my phone was developer unlocked- (dreamspark) and operator unlocked T mobile version bought from the US.
Also: I cannot get to the bootloader mode:
Here is what I've done:
1. Not connected via usb
a. Hold vol down button and press power to start
b. Hold both vol buttons and press power to start
2. Connected via usb
Same as above a and b.
However, nothing happens and my phone still doesn't connect to my computer.
So I don't know how else to send cabs.
Just use the wireless method with zune. No need for a cable.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
I'm getting a red text: Error: No devices were found.
I downloaded and installed the WP7 update tool before running the update cab sender batch file.
Also: my laptop is connected to the same wifi that my phone has been configured to auto-connect too.
EDIT: I've recently moved so my wifi router is different and my phone and computer are not configured to sync wirelessly over this network.
When I ran this tool, as per suggestion, it was not connected via cable.
Also, its a Dell Venue Pro that I started by keeping the Volume down button pressed and then holding the power button for a while. ( How do I know if its bootloader mode? )
I hope I'm not missing anything.
Here is what the about page of my phone says:
Dell Venue Pro
OS version: 7.1.7720.68
Firmware revision number: 2250.1800.7720.219
Hardware reivisin number: 112.576.2.0
Bootloader version: 7.27.1.0
Thanks.
Take the battery out.
Put it back in.
Hold power
and HOLD vol down
Hold these buttons untill you get to the boot loader. DO NOT RELEASE EITHER OF THEM
Hi Tried the following at least a 3 times each so not sure whats wrong: (took out battery each time and reinserted )
1.
a. Hold the power button.
b. Immediately hold the vol down button and then keep them pressed for as long as I can.
I still get the tiles.
a. Hold the vol down button first.
b. Hold the power button and keep them pressed for as long as I can.
I still get the tiles.
I also tried holding them for various stages, like releasing just after the Dell logo and just after the Windows Phone logo but neither helps.
Am I doing something very wrong here?
My bad. It is vol down, camera, power. I just tried it and it works

Thanks so now I do enter a bootloader mode, or what I think is the bootloader mode (a black screen with WP, usb cable and a laptop computer)
I fire up update sender and press S but it says cab not found.
I couldn't understand what is meant by 'Just use the wireless method in Zune'. Can someone please elaborate.
I tried to connect it to computer via usb and this happens: Unlike earlier when I used to get unknown device, I get a Windows mobile searching for drivers and then it says 'device unplugged'.
And S in update sender still doesn't work saying that no devices were found.
Any suggestions please?
There is no wireless method that would fix what you want. The wireless method is for syncing videos, photos, and music.
So can someone suggest what to do to be able to connect my phone to my computer and get future updates?
Fix: Dell Venue Pro device not recognised in windows
i bought 10 DVPs and 8 of them updated fine to mango. the other 2 wouldn't connect properly to windows. the device manager showed 4 unknown devices, following all the MS troubleshooting steps achieved nothing.
big thanks to a guy called Steven who found that the devices had been left in the incorrect USB mode by the Dell engineers back at the factory. by default they should all be in Zune mode, but these 2 weren't.
the solution is to start the EM diagnostic app on the phone, dial ##634#
then you get a photo of a dog and the "EM" screen comes up.
you get 3 menus at the top of the screen. "Phone Information", "System Information", "MMS Settings". to reveal additional menus, press each of the number keys along the top of the keyboard, 1234567890 in that order. this may take a few goes to get right so keep trying, it should eventually work, try sliding the keyboard up and down, seems fairly random to get it to work.
then scroll down to "Service Center". Switch to Zune mode. you should be good to go then, plug in to a PC and sync with Zune. when i tried this Zune failed to find an update complaining that it couldn't connect to the update service. so i set up a wireless sync with the device, and then plugged it back in and tried the zune update again, and it worked.
THIS GUIDE WILL HELP YOU ROOT ANY WILDFIRE WITH HBOOT VERSION 1.01.0001/1.01.0002
This guide is in fact a combination of two other guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
I take no responsibility for whatever may happen to your phone.
To root, you first need to gain S-OFF, this part is taken from the first thread.
So here we go,
- Before doing anything, make sure you have the latest HTC SYNC on your PC (get it from here).
- Connect your phone to PC and sync all your data (contacts, media, docs...etc.)
- Disconnect your phone, then uninstall HTC SYNC, but you must leave the drivers on your PC.
(i.e. Uninstall the htc sync program only, not the drivers)
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.
If you have HBOOT 1.01.0001, you can skip to the step entitled Revolutionary
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)
Now, to get to actually rooting the phone by installing clockworkmod and subsequently, the superuser app.
1. Ensure that your SD Card is FAT32 then copy this to the root of your SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=548407&d=1300751790
2. Go into HBOOT(switch off phone and switch on while holding down the volume down button) and click yes when it asks you to update
3. Remove the img file from your sd card and add this file: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
4. Go into HBOOT and click Recovery!
5. Click install zip from sdcard (or some thing like that) (Protip: Navigate in the recovery with the trackpad, not the power button!)
6. Click choose zip from sdcard
7. Locate your zip and let it update
8. Boot into your now rooted phone and install ROM Manager from the market.
9. Open ROM manager and Install Clockword Mod recovery (or sth like that) twice in a row (this is important to ensure proper installation)
YOU ARE NOW ROOT!!!!
Optional: Use ROM manager to install CyanogenMod or another ROM of your choosing

Firstly, were you even on HBOOT version 1.01.0002?
If you were, check if the downgrade was successful after running step2.bat
If it wasn't make sure HTC Sync has been uninstalled but the drivers have not
If the drivers are in place, I suggest looking for a solution at the orginal guide found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035

The first instruction tells you to switch off the phone before removing the SD card.
Try it again.
If it doesnt work, run everything as administrator, else, go to the orginal thread and post your problems there
im running it on windows 7 ultimate 64 bit??? does that make any difference??/

Shouldn't.... but I did it on a XP 32 bit so maybe you could try running in compatibility mode...
i tried that but no luck..... i also tried on my windows vista 32bit with no luck
Finally got this process to work for me after numerous unsuccessful attempt. Main problem was I was using Win7. Switched to Win 3.1 and things worked.
Also in the guide the step
7. Copy the CID code from the text box
Need to me clarified to ... "Copy the reversed CID code from the text box "
After that all good and am now back on Hboot 1.01.0001.
Thanks for the guide.
Like a charm. Thanks.
Thanks for the information

make sure that you're using the proper controls...:
After boot you select items by vol keys and choose by hitting the power button.
In CWM you also select by vol keys but choose by hitting trackball
Have you done so?

At first boot it might take a while to boot up. If it remains stuck on the logo I'd suggest to reinstall but do a "full wipe/factory reset" from inside ClockworkMod (even better format system and data before).
BTW Which ROM are you trying to install?
Thank u very much for ur help....I appreciate u people very much....
Bt actually that rom was not good that's y I was facing that issue

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CMD and are on Windows 7 (or similar), make sure you start CMD in admin mode.
Otherwise it doesn't work.
1- Make sure the files are stored in a folder in C:\ (or somewhere very short unless you know command line). For example: C:\goldcard
Copy the files from the folder they came in and throw them in there.
2- Go to start and write CMD. Now DO NOT single click the program or type enter. Instead do CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER
This opens it in Admin mode. (some pop up confirmation may appear).
3- Navigate to the folder by writing "cd C:\goldcard". (Without the quotation marks of course. Use the name of the folder you created in step number one.)
4- write step1.bat
That should do it. The same applies to step2.
