Issues after possible root?

Someones help would be greatly appreciated.
I spent about 8 hours trying to root my phone last night.....the first time I ran the 4-step root, it went flawlessly. After that however, I downloaded Rom Manager and clockwork wouldn't download (repeated error). I then downloaded Titanium Backup and the program said I didn't have root access.
Fast forward 6 hours later and many additional attempts to re-root (each time hanging up at step 4)........I decided to try and see if my phone was rooted already.
I did a search and based on that search I typed cmd in the search bar (vista), then typed adb shell.....hit enter......and got #.
If I understand right, this means that I'm rooted.
So, 1) Am I rooted?
2) If yes, why can't I proceed from here?
3) How do I proceed from here (In noob terms)?
4) Did I screw anything up or do I need to delete some files as a result of trying to re-root over and over?
Assistance would be greatly appreciated, and I'll be sure to do the same once I have this figured out.

Few more questions.
1) If I'm rooted and all, do I need to install a rooted rom before Rom Manager (clockworkmod) and Titanium Backup will work? I was trying to use Rom Manager to perform a backup before I flashed any ROMS.
2) Is there some superuser file that needs to be downloaded and could that be my problem?
Thanks again.

Just a hunch, but your probably running the pre-release software build. You need to flash the latest rooted software version 147
651.1. The thread is in the development forum.

No sure what you mean, but I originally had 147 before attempting root and now I have 1.17.651.1. If I need to flash the software you are referencing could you please provide the link to the forum....I've looked but I'm not entirely sure of what I should be looking for.

I don't know the link but the thread is in the Android Development section and is titled fully rooted stock version 147.651. 1 no adb. Will probably be on page 2nd of the forum. After running the 2 files linked in that thread you'll be all set to run a customer rom.

Ok, found it.
However, I have the file PC36IMG already on my SD card (it's zipped). Should I replace it with the one you're referring to, use it, or just leave it alone?

I've tried everything.
If someone wants to give me a hand getting all of this worked out and fresh flashed, I'll shoot them some $$ via paypal.
I'm almost 100% my phone is rooted, just can't make a backup, upgrade to the rooted 147 stock rom, download the SU, or flash a custom ROM.

First, remove any zip files you downloaded for rooting purposes from your sd card (place them on your computer for safekeeping). Then, power off your phone and power it back on while holding volume down. At the top it'll give you an HBOOT VERSION. Which version do you get?

Says 0.76.2000

Your nand is still locked. Depending on your software version you will have to root then nand unlock. Let's see if I can help you. What version is your Software Number?
Menu->Settings->About Phone->Software Information->Software Number

Thanks for the response.
I've actually made a good amount of progress. I've followed toastcfh's post about unlocking my nand and it is currently reflashing.I'll give you my versions and suck when everything is said and done

(Q) Rooted or not ???

Dear friends,
I have an HTC Desire ver: 2.2,
baseband 12.28b.60.140
kernel 2.6.32.21
Build 1.43.468.1
I want to root but when I download and run ivisionary it works (setcpu and superuser both work as well). but I cannot uninstall any applications.
It says I am a root user, but I cannot use its priviledges.
Please help, is my phone rooted, or should I do something else....
Thank you

You need to s-off to make changes to the system. The nand protection is stopping you

I just did S-off,
but cant remove apps, for instance I want to remove facebook, but I cant.
what else I am missing?

Use titanium back up pro, go to backup/restore tab, then select the app you dont want then press un-install (using wipe data will reboot your phone)

[Q] Superuser,Clockwork Recovry, S-OFF, CM7, but no root. Help!

Had everything fine, S-OFF, rooted, Cm7
Mistakenly formated my /system in clockwork recovery
Now I have .98 HBOOT but w/ S-OFF
clockwork recovery works
can install ROMS and boot CM7, miui
I have superuser installed
but when i try to install an app that needs root (such as font installer, for example), i have no root. Can't update busybox or superuser either.
What can I do to gain root back?

Flash superuser.zip from recovery.

I've tried that, but it still won't work. Busybox won't work either.
Tried Unrevoked but it fails, too.

Suggestion
I suggest you flash a new HBOOT (alpharev.nl) and start over again (Revolutionary, custon recovery, root, etc.).
I hope it will work. Would you mind reporting back?

How should I do that? Alpharev looks like its only for GSM (I'm CMDA). Would I use Revolutionary? Forgive my noobishness, I just don't want to mess this up further

I don't think there's a difference between CDMA and GSM in this respect. Try to find info here:

Thanks for the link I guess I'm wondering if I need to do the HBOOT stuff again, or if I can just flash recovery maybe since I already have S-OFF?

I think you should only reflash your Hboot.
Best regards

I meant your recovery, sorry.

So use that new Revolutionary one? Will that replace my clockwork recovery as well?

Search this forum for a recovery download link and follow install instructions. One recovery is suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15349806&postcount=1
If this doesn't help, use Revolutionary again, it installs custom recovery at the end. As next step, read this:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
and flasz zip which is in the middle of the page. It should fix superuser.

[Q] WFS root problem

Hello,
I have a WFS which is S-ON.
I unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com.
When i restart the phone in the bootloader, i see in the first line "UNLOCKED"; the phone is still S-ON.
When i try to root it (supertoolv3), it says it's rooted at the end, but nothing is done after the restart.
Also by installing Superuser and Busybox from the play store does not help.
I don't want to put a custom bootloader nor Rom, just want a rooted phone to uninstall some bloatware and use some applications...
Another question i have is how to flash a stock rom with the Belgium Dutch AZERTY keyboard... Anyone an idea?
My actual rom has version 2.26.401.4
Does anyone has an idea what i can try?
Already thanks!

Please post in appropriate section.

He means install titanium backup and allow root permissions. After it starts go into the apps section touch the app you want to remove and press uninstall.
Don't forget to press thanks if I helped.

Have a look at this guide which will help you to install Android 4.0.4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955842

these guides might help to root your phone, but not sure that rooting will remove sim-lock.

If you're rooted you could use clockworkmod recovery to backup your current ROM.

Please follow the above guides. I believe they are the simplest guides there is on rooting wildfire, and do read and understand everything before attempting to root.
If you have a question, please first try searching it in the wildfire forums, you are likely to find your answers that way.
Cheers
P.S. - wait, if you are not rooted, how do you have clockworkmod? CWM isn't an application.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using Tapatalk 2

I said I had clockworkmod, I didn't say it worked! and it doesn't without it being rooted.
So before I update I want to backup all the original ROM.
Also if I update will this unlock the device to any network as I have had other windows phones that did?
I just don't want to brick it!!!!

okay,I will try to be clear as possible, follow the given guide to root your phone, I used that guide to root mine, and was successful at the first try. so, if you follow that guide word to word, there should be no problems. you'll be rooted within 10 minutes.
while rooting you'll have to reset your phone,so contacts and mssgs will be lost. also keep a backup of your SDcard.
this process will also install clockworkmod recovery, so after rooting you'll be able to backup your current ROM using CWM. after that you can flash any ROM you like.
as for simlock I'm not quite sure rooting will simunlock your phone. there is a thread about this,so please read that.
I hope this answers all your questions, if not, at least some. good luck..!
I will post the link to the guide again.
