Did the official update and wanna go back to 1.5 so i can root is it possible...can i root right from 2.1??? this definitely was the worst thing ever. If anyone can help, please do!
Short answer...your screwed......should have done some research before flashing the RUU. It can't be rooted at this time so no way to go back....
Research would have shown you there are a number of 2.1 ROM's that are out and working....

As the French would say... you're la screwed. Keep your fingers crossed that someone here will get root on 2.1 before everyone jumps ship to the EVO.

As stated in time it will be rooted, i can't see why it wouldn't be. And no not all devs are going to the almighty EVO.
Someone should have labeled the update "WILL **** PHONE".exe

plenty of warnings all around the net.. about dont touch the official release .. if you love your root access...
cross your fingers and hope it get rooted again.
Me.. i love my custom 2.1 ROMs.. and all the new and different themes I can flash...
I cant complain i guess, hopefully they figure it out soon... how long does something like that usually take from when the RUU is made available, sorry if these are noob questions

Dont be suprised if you dont see root for at least 6 months. Come june 4th everyone's attention will be focused on the HTC Evo and most users will be in the Evo forums and researching Evo and Watching youtube videos on the EVO's performance. All i can say is make do with what you got until the evo dies down and focus on the hero will continue as normal.

I gues its been a while and still nothing from unrevoked. I guess there is never going to be an update since they refuse to answer any questions about wildfire, and the main thing in theyr IRC chat they never talk about it.. SO GUYS WE ARE FORGOTEN..

i bought my phone with 2.2.1 already installed
i asked for one without upgrade but they said they have none left
i really want root to flash wildpuzzle looks so good
give them a chance, you want them to drop everything and work on a program for the wildfire that they make no money from. i'm sure these people have lives too, and it's been all of about 5 weeks since update. patience people
and yes wildpuzzle is fantastic

agree with you....i also have to wait for the unrevoked update
now got my hands on 2.2 official update....
no,they probably has it, they probably want to do some surprise with nice interface etc stuff, i do not belive that team unrevoked can not find any exploit in wf.
Everything is hackable,look at greenpois0n, redsn0w etc...they jailbreaked iphoine4 and now they are cracking soft 4.2.1, iphone 4 users also has to wait if they did update to 4.2.1...
So my point is ->this will be done, they are superb good and this is just matter of time.

The same subject indeed, but with that big difference that nobody is asking anything that hasn't already been asked.. like a trilion times a day.
Brainstorming and sharing thoughts should be tollerated in a "general" toppic, no?
We will never been rooted Wildfire.
Their is no way to root this Hboot.
I think we need to buy new phone if want to flash rom.

exactly!!
finding an exploit in a bootloader(!!!) is little different then writing simple hello world program or whatever scenario you are thinking about. and if these inpatient folks here keep spamming the board with a new troll thread every day then I really hope there will be NO unrevoked. so please just keep waiting for it and stop annoying people! Noone from unrevoked will keep attention to your crying! so just stop it!
Btw the wildfire is already a great device even without root access so what's your problem???? you can still use your android!!! I used mine for months before even trying to root it!

I read on other forum...on Xperia X10 they finnaly got it
The bootloader has been bypassed using the kexec/miniloader method

can anyone try the same method?
I'm hesitant of anything posted on April 1st, regardless of source! But I hope this works for the Atrix.

YEAH, its true, many people have try...see the post reply after day 1 and video
soo, please, I think this can break the bootloader of our atrix, but I don't have acknolegement to do that
I assume Atrix has different type of bootloader than SE X10a
May try after final exam

You can't just run their script and make it work that way, their exploit would have to be ported to the Atrix.
Hope this works, may I remind any dev that the is a huge bounty for this.

theres no such thing as atrix haters , theres moto haters , I been a moto fan since the startac , truth is motorola has spit in our face since the days of EZX phone where they would always find a way to circumvent gpl , I wish I could have an atrix , but as long as its locked , not gnna happen , fool me once shame on you , fool me twice shame on me , I am very tempted but I wont jump in just yet , I heard Tegra is much less secure then omap so theres your chance but it be a good month or 3 or 4 before anything happens to that bootloader , thinking otherwise woudl be greatly under estimating Motorola ...

Sorry hat to clutter this thread. Anyway, anyone got any reading material on this exploit done on the X10? I want to learn more about it.
Any Dev's care to comment on this?

there are Atrix haters as well as moto haters, i've debated and well as read comments from quite a few of them, but people that have the wrong attitude and give up so easily on the phone ain't helping at all(or people that never had the phone to begin with), but i understand some people have their needs or wants in a phone and the atrix may not be it for them, but don't bash it just because you may not like it, never even owned it but have negative comments about it, have a defective device or whatever, and no i'm not saying that YOU have done any of this, but i'm tired of seeing it.....
but back to what this topic is actually about, hopefully this topic catches the devs attention
sooo.. ignoring the differences in architecture between omap and tegra, were the two bootloaders secured in the same fashion?> signed? signed and locked? locked?

Even it takes 3 or 4 months it still gives us hope. I thought this whole signed bootloader mess was gonna be completely impossible! So I'm thrilled to hear this!
Nothing is impossible
Doesn't look like this is catching the eye of many people though, most likely from the 4/4 date.
ignore from here down. My xda bros just saved my marriage!
Once again, I come here with fingers crossed hoping for root news. And once again, I leave here with no news. And yet again, I will hear my wife say "I hate you" for upgrading her phone. fml.

I'm sorry for your loss..
I have a 2 year old terror for a son, that is constantly playing with my phone. The blue htc case has been the best purchase i have made in a long time. It definitely beefs up the phone enough to withsatnd majority of his punishment. He did manage to break something because my keyboard lights rarely work... But thats nothing compared to if he would crack my screen... Come on root so i can get a new phone with working keyboard lights.

We all feel your pain . Guess it's going to be a minute before your able to do anything for the community . Dammm you HTC .
you could always try a different Launcher so that it will look different...
If you're lookin for a sense 3.0 like lockescreen try Agile Lock from the market, been using it on my evo for a week or so and loving it. In order to get all the functionality out of it you'll have to download 4 or 5 apps from within the agile lock app. They're all in Japenese or Chinese, can't read either so not sure which language it actually is, but just download and install them then you can delete them. Once the app is unlocked it functions almost just like the 3.0 lockscreen.

I didn't care if anyone responded. Sorry for eating valuable forum space in the shift forum. When root comes back around, this thread will be pointless. Feel free to delete it. But the other person was right. This is the gloom thread. No root for the old hags phone makes me sad. If jock itch makes you sad, tell us about them red balls.
As far as children, I think my 15 y.o. looked at some pR0n on my shift the other day. I spent hours deciding how to sterilize it, in the event that he diddled himself, without blitzing the circuits. My first impulse was to soak it in bleach for a day or two. How's that for some FML?????

this will probably sound really stupid, so just remember that I come from the easy-to-root epic forum.
I assume it's not possible to RUU back to 2.2, root, unlock, then flash gingerbread?
I guess my question really is, why doesn't this method work?

Because the RUU checks the hboot and says you've got the wrong one and fails.

I know your saying is correct, but if it is simply just that, how come with revolutionary on other phones you can run a RUU and it'll reset the phone but keep s-off? Or is it because revolutionary just does something crazy?

Yeah, if it's not much money, go for it, but don't expect it to be the fastest Droid ever. It is good for its price, but if I were you, I'd go for Galaxy Nexus, for a bit more money you get a huge improvement.
