[Q] Want to root my HTC Wildfire But i have the OTA 2.2 Update

Hello
I was wanting to root my HTC Wildfire running Android 2.2 but i dont know how to do it? Can somebody Please help me!
Thanks,
Alistair

Wrong topic under wrong podforum. Try browsing Wildfire development, you'll find your answer there.
P.s.
The answer is, you can't. Get in line and wait unrevoked.

WAIT for the USELESS Unrevoked?????
IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! .v.
I have been waiting for it for more than 3 months!!!!!
FXXX IT!

well... Truth be told it's getting really ridiculous.
Three months later and after some recorder succesfull cases of S-Off they didnt even so much as bother releasing any news on the progress.
I'm with everyone stating we shouldn't be demanding anything since its not a right its just something they do on their spare time but if they cant make it work at least give it out to the community to try.
After all, nobody started out knowing everything they had help from the rest of the android world like anybody would. Isn't it time to give something back? Even if its just an update on their progress.

Oh come on seriously?
Referencing the 90/90 rule is an update for 90% of the earths population and anything they might be working on.

90/90 rule is also ridiculous

It's true though, and the thing is no matter what device I buy, it always in the corner of the room not being able to enjoy the party.
Happened with iPod Touch 2G MC, had to wait for months to get jailbreak just because our devices were unique and we have different bootroms.
And now HTC Wildfire, I bought the phone after getting the news that HTC Wildfire will be getting Froyo update, but now stuck with it with no root. I should've asked them if there were any handsets left with 2.1 Stock in it. :\

Haha, I was in the same boat with my iPod Touch 3G 32GB bought last October. I clearly remember going to Chronic Dev's website every few hours just to check up on the progress of Greenpoison, and the anticlimax that was when limera1n was released.
Thankfully, had better luck with my Wildfire, although I had previously decided to get the 2.2 OTA just to check it out (Because, at the very beginning, I was afraid to root and all, since the guides seemed complex), I am glad I didn't.

This is officially the 2000th topic asking the same damn question. Congrats.

No need to be so rude, everyone want's to know how the dev team is doing, and we all wait for the same answer. So we'll just have to wait and see.

HTC officially dissolves locked bootloader policy

Oh wow, so HTC is actually listening to consumers? I didn't think companies did that anymore... Kudos HTC, very awesome.

HTC is just on fire these days huh? This is pretty awesome!

Just saw the Engadget article. This is why I love HTC over Motorola, Samsung, etc. They listen.

Lord only knows what the community will be able to do with a dual core unlocked device . Hopefully, sometime down the line, VZW will get one. My upgrade still isn't for another year anyway. So by then, I expect to see some pretty awesome stuff.

That is freaking awesome! I was thinking my next phone wouldn't be an HTC (which sucks cause I love my incredible) but its on now.

thanks to everyone who brought this to their attention

I wasn't going to buy another HTC phone after hearing about the EVO 3D but, this just changed my mind.

terrific, i will stick with my HTC verizon g2!

great work HTC......another reason why i love you!

samesies...

Does this mean they will unlock the phones they already locked or just for future phones?

Would this mean that HTC phones would be able to be rooted easily or no root would be needed... I have no Dev skills that's why i ask..

Well you'll still need to root, but you can install new ROM's easily with an unlocked bootloader, and without a lot of painful work.
For us Incredible users, we've been pretty lucky to have the "unrevoked" program that automates the whole process- but a lot of other phones have to go through some pretty annoying and difficult steps in order to be able to flash ROM's.
I've also heard that Motorola has jumped on the unlocked bootloader bandwagon, after HTC announced they would be doing it.
All good news, big props to HTC for listening to customers and making the move.
Also another article if anyone is interested in reading more into the story:
http://www.softsailor.com/news/8094...ature-an-unlocked-bootloader-from-now-on.html

If HTC sticks to this policy and the carriers don't get all pissy with policies on rooted/rom'd phones on their network, I'll never buy another device unless it says HTC on it... Good move, HTC. The phones, after all, BELONG to us.

I love it.

That is fantastic news.

To all my Evo acquaintances :-)

I thought I might share a couple of websites I stumbled across that I think some of u will like.
WWW.miniinthebox.com
Www.lightinthebox.com
I've never heard of these b4 but they r FULL of gadgets and lots of cool things that everyone should look at. There r even android 2.2 tablets for under 100 bucks!!! Anyways let me know what u think.
nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!

Yup... I was in a hurry when I wrote this but there's lots of stuff and dirt cheap. And the thing that gets me r all the ratings.
nobody calls my EVO a fizzle and gets away with it!!

Nice. Thanks man.

No problem guys... If u like the info I've given hit the thanks button please ... Would b much appreciated. I'm actually hoping that this might catch the eyes of some developers so that they might get one of these tablets and rock it out with some custom $#!7 and make an $80 tablet into a beast!! ;-)

I'm not too sure.. and I wouldn't know if its a knock off to b honest. From what I saw this is a China whole sale website. So I figure this stuff comes from there. From the many reviews I read on both websites customer service seems to b excellent, so if ud like to know then just ask.

hey there!
yeah, lightinthebox.com is in Hong Kong, I believe.
Check out www.chinavasion.com
I've been doing business with these reputable Chinese vendors sites for a few years. I buy the product, they ship it to me, I resell at a slight margin. One of my clients asked me where and who my supplier is. I smiled and gave him my response,"Trade secret."
Honestly, would you want your own client to compete against you? After all, this THEIR money you want! <slight laugh>

It's boring! Noting in The Netherlands (Holland) too so far!
Guess Motorola has a lazy sunday too...

Funny about all the fuss of the Motos being the first to get the updates, now it seems like almost all of us are stuck waiting.

Well, we're still going to get it earlier than the vast majority of Android users. Only a handful of devices have it so far, and the Moto G is one of them. Our wait will be nowhere near as long as most people's.

really waiting and I think I have checked more than 100 times for the update

Portugal still waiting... Maybe more for the middle of this week..

I think XT1068 is the most sold variant of Moto G 2014...So...Why delay it for such long time?
I know some people say that the US release is like a test for a minor number of devices...but...You know...4 days is enough time to check if everything is going well... :S

It could take up to few weeks to update all G variants so relax and don't get crazy. Look at nexus 5 owners how they're complaining about bugs on L5. Is it better to wait longer and have polished version or have buggy update right away and complaint about it?

OPO Production Will Be Discontinued Soon....

ok

It's been almost 2 years and my OPO is still strong as hell and still a ton of fun with random roms!
Sent from my A0001 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Some sites are still selling some styleswap. But it may be a good idea to get some of the replacement parts, just in case.

That's a bad news, maybe we can build a statue for our OPO, cause this is a legend phone LOL

Maybe switch to nexus 6P if this is true..

Good run while it lasted

It wont die like this.
not any phone.
The spare parts and other stuff will be stocked up to top to provide future needs.
and the OnePlus THREE will also conquer this bacon love.

RIP Sweet Prince. You'll always live on in our hearts.

If this is true, it's now officially over, both 16gb and 64gb models are now out of stock :'(

It is true but OPO production is still on it last batch in limited quantity and i think it will be officially over before OP3 is launched in june....

What do you expect... A phone that's 2 years old, already 2 newer models and a 3th one in the near future.
Which doesnt mean I love this phone. I hope the OP3 is a pimped OPO. Bit more ram, fingerprint and dualism pls ?

They cant even get the bugs worked out of the 2 and the X and now they are decommissioning their only "flagship" phone. They had better make sure the 3 is way above and beyond that of the 1 or I see a dismal future for OP.

It's hard to call the OPO "their only 'flagship' phone" when it was superseded by the OP2 last year. Regarding the new device being "way above and beyond that of the 1" I don't think any manufacturer has released any device that's "way above and beyond" their flagships from 2 years ago, which is why flagship handset sales in the developed world have been relatively stagnant for the last year. There just hasn't a compelling reason to upgrade, because devices haven't improved that much over previous models the last couple of years.
