Ive tried to s-off my Wildfire like 3 times. The first one i failed cz i chose HBOOT 1.01.0001. The second one it was stucked on Acquiring Root <method 1> then i waited, then it said click anything to exit. after that my third times, it doesnt detect my handset.
Does it mean my WF already s-off or what?
Thanks a lot to who has answered my question
You can check the HBOOT version by pressing Vol - and power when turning it on.
i already know its 1.01.0002
But then when i tried to do it again, the alpharevx doesnt detect my phone. it only said : Android
Then it wanted i put the serial
nvm, it detects now. But it stucks when it says Thank you for participating
hye...
i am rlly new with this forum just rcently bcame a mmber... n of cz vry noob...
i hving this problem when i try to run the alpharev X it says waiting for device..
so?? what had i done wrong i already know that my HBOOT is 1.01.002..
btw sory my english..
Did you set your phone at USB-debug and charge only?
how to enable the USB debug?? i hve set myphone to chrge only still alpharex doesnt detect myphone..
USB debugging is under Settings->Applications->Development

No. It detects it almost immediately. Possible solutions:
- Make sure USB Debugging is On, as already said above
- Redownload the AlphaRev X Executable file
- Make sure Drivers are installed and working properly. There are 2 aspects to this:
1) Install HTC Sync, and, Uninstall it. The ADB Drivers will be installed
2) The HBoot Drivers are next. Guide to install that is here:

Its an example. The actual file will be the one you downloaded. (Theres a link in the first line of that guide called Unrevoked Modified USB Driver)
thanks i just install the hboot driver.. install htc sync and uninstall htc sync.. so now i hope alpharev x can detect my phone... again thank u 4 the help..
now rise another problem.. alpharev x can detect myphone but when i enter the beta key base my serial no it says invalid beta key...
im pretty sure i enter the right serial key and the right beta key..

Redownload the alpharev zip and run it, worked for me.
Hmmm which rom to test getting bored of cm7
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA Premium App
There are two possible solutions there again. But, before that, make sure you have entered the right details (Right Serial Number (HT0....), Right HBoot Version, Right Device Model).
Once you are sure these are correct:
- Solution 1 - Copy the beta key in your clipboard from the website, then right click the title bar of the AlphaRevX Application, Click Properties, then check mark Quick Edit Mode. Then Right click anywhere inside the window, it will paste the key.
- Solution 2 - Redownload the AlphaRevX Application from the website and retry.
EDIT: Ninja'ed, Oh well.
lol sory mymistake... actually i really put the wrong beta key...
now that i hve S-OFF myphone what should i do now... sorry i really dont know anything..
Two ways again:
1) Follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
2) Use Fastboot (Which I used)
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff, irrespective of what you followed above.

EXE File.
That post simply means, that when you have completed installing your SDK, then, there will be a folder called "Tools" at your install location. Copy Paste the Recovery.img file to the Tools folder.
ok now i hve copy the recovery.img into tools
then open cmd right?? now what??
5 minute tutorial video on how to install clk
credit to cedesmith for creating the clk bootloader
if you run into this problem - "when I right click the google drivers file and hit install it says "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation"
then you need to do this - the problem I had was resolved by changing my windows update settings. I had to change them to always install the best drivers for my device.That got me the boot loader drivers ,android sdk and adb. after that I follewed these steps from post #10: device manager>androiddevice>update software>browse my copmputer>let me choose>have disk>browse to .inf file>click or( double click) the.inf file and see if it will install."
Cant wait till they fix the rmnet issue with clk
nice work!!!
i will add your link to my OP ....
nice video
when I right click the google drivers file and hit install it says "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation." I'm using same OS as you.

This is not true.....PPP is much more better....use the beta4 and you ' ll see that i'm right...some devs use beta5 that had problems and made that voice go around...then you have to find the best combination of files if you make a ROM based on cLK ....

My bootloader corrupted
Hi,
I was actually trying to put ICS on my device from GingerBread Nand.I connect device with USB and I was trying to Wipe using HD2 Nand Toolkit.As device reached 100%, it suppose to restart but in my case it hanged at 100% for 30 mins .Then I restart by removing the battery.Now when 3 color screen shows, it shows serial at the bottom but it change to usb when I connect to pc .The problem is now when I try to re-partition ,it says device is not connected.
So I thought I may be able to install windows by downloading actual rom from T-Mobile and place the file to sd card by renaming it to LEOIMG.nbh.I did it using a class 2 16Gb card.As I press both volume down key and power button, it goes right to the rainbow screen.Please help me!
Thanks for reading the issue.

i had the same problem using 64 bit windows. all you have to do is to go to device mananger and right click on android, select update driver and select from computer and then browse to clk install folder and select folder device driver and then select google usb driver folder and select update. it will update driver from there.

Hi everybody
I would like to unlock the bootloader of my ARC S , 4.0.2.A.0.42, sim unlock factory and with a generic fw.
I used the tuto of sony ericsson , asking me to replace a file in C:/AndroidSDK/extras/google/usb_drivers , something like that.
So i replaced the file. Pressed menu button and plugged the phone.
I have the choice to select the driver, indicate the folder and it begins to install and suddenly stop each time, saying me :
"Windows met a problem during the installation of the driver for your device"
Windows has found a driver for your device, but met a problem trying to install it"
Android ADB Interface
Specified file is unfound

I have the fastboot.exe file, adb.exe and all the others files in my sdk..
Please help me to solve this problem
Thx!!
Not sure what drivers you found, but the ones from this thread worked fine for me.
Just extract the zip somewhere and when prompted for a driver location, point it to that folder, don't complicate things by messing around with file swaps in the Android SDK folder.
Also, that guide is pretty much all you need, to get your bootloader unlocked.
hi
Thx a lot for your answer
I tryed another folder found on google yesterday and it works.
Files seems to be the same than yours so if i havent found yet and used these ones, it should have worked too.
Thk you, and have a good day.

HELLO.. can i ask for the link of where you downloaded the android_winusb.inf ?THanks
I have a Chinese max, 32gb. It’s currently on miui 7.5.1.0 stable. When I click check for updates it says no updates available. I’m in china if that makes any difference.
How can I upgrade to a newer software? Can I change to global rom?
I don’t have a windows computer and most guides seems to require windows. Also I don't want a custom rom.
Alternatively, how can I get native update function the to work?
Thanks for help to push mein the right direction.

Well, without a pc you have less options, users of miui are on nougat (beta) but in your case must be sure of these things; download (easier) an app from playstore about developer options, open and check at USB debugging, allow, now download a global version from official Miui page for Hydrogen (device name) must be in .zip format and try going to /settings/about device/system update you`ll see four dots upper right and option "select update package", navigate to your downloaded file and try to flash
Thanks. So I downloaded it, went to updater and chose the file, and it says couldn't verify update package.
Tried to download to recovery mode, but then I just get to a screen with the symbol to connect USB cable to computer.

If from this option doesn`t flash your zip either do from mi recovery. Version for China probably is from a phone company if you live there. You need a pc at least to install TWRP (it takes two minutes) and from here you must install last version official beta v8 7.1.19 but you need unlock bootloader
So this is not possible to do with a MAC? what about the terminal commands, can I install a rom from the CLI ?

I know this isn't the quickest workaround, but if you're stuck on a Mac you can always bootcamp it for free. Just download Windows 10 (around a 5GB download I think) and install via bootcamp. You don't need a serial to officially install or run WIndows 10 and you can just remove the installation when you're finished.

You can use other advance phone (cause this will be busy) like a viewfinder of .img in your computer, with an app from Play Store called DriveDroid, you place some .img in your sdcard and to arrange computer select usb (it`s like a virtual machine) or burn an image in a usb with a linux distro, here is a rescue cd that contain a virtual Windows XP called Hiren`s Boot (500 mb aprox.) but really I don`t know if all that works on a mac.
First read that post, it seems is possible use fastboot on a mac according that: http://htc-one.gadgethacks.com/how-...-mac-os-x-send-commands-your-htc-one-0151178/

I tried using fastboot commands on mac to to update, but didn't work.
I guess I'll have to stick with 7.5.10 until I get a new phone.
However wonder why the OTA update doesn't work.

What did you type in fastboot?, zip version is not for fastboot, must be download correct version, but go for the first step, probably you must
unlock bootloader, request to xiaomi, sometimes you got it in 6 hours, depends, probably device is rooted, for this reason don't update ota. Here you have other thread to apply fastboot with other method https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../live-iso-adb-fastboot-driver-issues-t3526755
tried both the flash all except storage.sh and the flashboot flash system commands. it said device it locked. I applied to unlock bootloader, no reply yet, but does that also require a Windows program to unlock the bootloader?
Device is not rooted, but I installed google play, maybe that's what broke the OTA

No, Google Play can't do that. In my little corner of the world we say "all the roads lead to Rome", I think you need a pc, There is other shorter way of two steps root first with a pc and then download from Google Play an app called "flashfire" you may flash a zip rom from this app. Also you may use a virtual cd or usb with a linux distro like ubuntu or debian running on your mac to arrange computer like a live cd or usb without install on your mac or if you prefer install it on your mac, there's a world of options just root device and can flash any you want and be the real owner of your phone

DId i Brick my Samsung Galaxy A505FN?
Hello one Question:
"did i Brick my device if for some reason after Trying to flash TWRP it fell back in to OEM-locked and i’ am now in a Boot Loop, ore is the any Hope?
I used Heimdal and at first it did the Job but then it would not start again as expected.
After some attempts to flash it Properly it suddenly fell back in to OEM-Locked!
Pleas if you now some advice it be greatly aprichiatet
My device is a Samsung Galaxy A505FN (Spain)
I found a way to Unbrick my device
Just to let anyone that pass her know i finally found a way to unbrick my device here it is:
After it falls back in to OEM-Lock i found you can unlock it again by doing whats explained in the Video.
Have fun be Careful when messing around with rooting

All i know in case of my Samsung Galaxy A50 it is Possible!
To lift the OEM-Lock mode again.
i do not know if that is true for every Device.
Ultimately i was successful to install full Root-access!
I had great difficulty tho to use Heimdall ore any tool on Linux so i ended up using Odin in a VirtuelBox with WinXPpro
but do to no support of Long file names i had to trick there, to to make it work.
I just shorten the Names of every .tar to the first 2 letters.
I was able to successfully flash TWRP with Heimdall but not the Android ROM for my Phone.
I still wonder how to make it work!
There was one Thing i Noticed when Using Odin it seams in the Process he flashes vbmeta.img twice.
That impossible with Heimdall it creates a error message.
Well if anyone - that passes here - knows how to flash a Android 10 ROM of a Samsung Galaxy A50 using Heimdall let me know i tried very very hard to no avail.
I was surprised to learn there is no Good Tool for Linux-user doing this Task.
i only found Old Tutorials!
Is it truly possible that Heimdall dose not support modern Phone-flashing anymore properly?
As of now if a Linux-user ask me about Rooting i would advice him/her to do it in a VritualBox with windows installed.
If you have a License of a Windows Version Higher then XP good otherwise you have to Shorten File names if the very long to make it work.
I scarcely use windows anymore that why i only have a old WinXPpro legally in my Possession.
Unbelievable that the Linux-Community should not have a modern Flash Tool!???

---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------
Hello to @everyone
I had great difficulty to do this as a Linux User using Heimdall and eventually had to give up (after trying for 3 full days)!
I ended up doing it using Windows out of a VirtualBox!
It was Possible tho to successfully flash TWRP using Heimdall!
It also showed Success when Flashing Android 10 Version for my Phone but would not work.
Using the same Firmware with Odin it worked just fine.
When i compared the Flash-Protocol of Odin with what i did i only Noticed that Odin would flash vbmeta.img twice in the Process something that cant be done with Heimdall as it produces the duplicate error.
I wonder if this is the Reason it would not work.
I was also surprised to Learn, that there is virtual now Tutorial out there using Heimdall on a Modern Phone (last 12 Month ore less).
Is it truly Possible that There is now good solution for Linux Users?
I also Looked in to Fastboot and ADB and other Tools for Linux Platform and they all seam to be outdated!
Also all this Tools could not accomplish the task at hand.
Now if its me and anyone knows how to make it Work on Heimdall let me know as it is a Pretty good tool after all and by now i know it well. I would gladly start to make a tutorial and provide it here for free if i know how to make it work.
I have a txt file where i made a complete Protocol of all i tried if someone is curious ill send it to you.
Saludos Hans
##################################################################
I send some more Details of my Challenge in hope someone my know what it is i have to change!
My Device:
Samsung Galaxy A505FN
I created a .txt file protocol of all i did, i gladly provide it if someone ants to see it.
I analyzed the Whole Firmware-archive and the Pit file of my Phone to eventually find the Problem.
Note:
The Firmware was the correct one as it worked just fine using Odin!!
Analyzing all this, i only noticed two things:
First:
There are 3 seemingly identical files in the Archive and two so called
fota.zip files witch are not Identical
(one in the AP-Packet and one in the CSC-Packet)
Those where:
– cache.img one in the AP-Packet and one in the BL-Packet
– vbmeta.img one in the AP-Packet and one in the BL-Packet
– product.img one in the AP-Packet and one in the BL-Packet
Second:
Once i used Odin to finally flash successfully i noticed that in the Flash-protocol of Odin it seams Odin flashes the vbmeta.img twice in the process!?
Heimdall would not allow me to do so giving me the “Duplicate Error message”
Furthermore i tried one more thing in my desperation to make it work:
i thort: “maybe the order in wish the files a flashed chronologically matters”
So i did exactly that, trying to flash in the same chronological sequence as Odin did.
Note:
Every time i flashed, Heimdall would successfully finish the process but the Phone would not start with android
no matter what i tried.
ALSO i did successfully flash TWRP to my Phone using Heimdall
SO Heimdall works just fine on my system!
I spend a Long Time searching the Internet for a workable Tutorial or glue’s as to what is missing and how i could make it work.
I really want to succeed doing this, as i want to provide my folks offer her in Germany and also English and Spanish speaking Linux-Community with a Tutorial to do this!
I did also drop this Question and Challenge i face in some other Forums no useful answer returned so far
The latest Governmental Abuses and infringement on Peoples Privacy using Corona as excuse, makes it abundantly clear how important this kind a work is!
As for now i think, the only true option for a Linux-User is to run Odin from a Virtual-Box Windows installation, given
you have a legal copy in you're possession and have higher then Windows XP
(else you must change the Filenames of the .tar archives as WIndows XP and lower did not support excessively long filenames.)
Also you have to Install you're Phone USB drivers and have them up and running properly!
Internet access to you're VB makes it all more comfortable, but you can also use Shared folders with the Host-System to do the job.
Note:
I did indeed tried the "WINE-plugin-environment" (Windows 10) under Linux. i could not get it to work.
It was to much messing around make it recognize the USB-connection to the Phone!
I could not get it to work, I don't know if you can?
I guess that would be a nice way for Linux-users if it could be made to work!
What do you guys think, can this be solved?
Pleas let me know if you know the answer to my Challenge!
You're help is not only needed but would be greatly appreciated
Sincerely yours
Hans from Germany
well I Found this from 2017;
Yes you can do fastboot and adb cmd in Linux but you have to install adb and fastboot drivers to Linux by using
1) sudo add-apt-repository ppahablet-team/tools && sudo apt-get update
2) sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
That's it you get your fastboot and adb cmd’s all the cmds are same just as windows just you need to add sudo in front if not in root

USB File Transfer Does Not Work
After flashing the ROM, when I connect my phone to my PC with the USB cable to transfer files, it does not work. No errors on my PC. I tries switching between modes and back to File Transfer as some suggested, but no luck.
Has anyone experienced this and if so, any solution?

This is what you get with a GSI, finger print wont work either.

Actually it's the only Custom ROM where the finger print works. My only problem was with the USB File Transfer.

Try with a custom kernel
the project is down? Because I love LineageOs, but the A50 is abandoned :/
