No ra doesn't work either it keeps giving me this error " assert failed: getprop(" ro.bootloader") == "0.76.2000
The Froyo root method puts you back on 2.1 and uses Unrevoked to root. It then has you flash Unrevoked Forever to unlock hboot. Seems to me you are limited to half root 2.1 until regaw releases a further tutorial. The error is asking for the ENG bootloader which you wont have until NAND is unlocked. Seems to me you are limited to half root 2.1 until regaw releases a further tutorial. With half root you'll be limited to what you can flash. I'm sure you'll be able to fully root and upgrade to 2.2 soon. Hope this helps.
[EDIT] It appears once you've completed the tutorial you can use previous 2.1 root methods such as Toast's part 2 or simpleroot. Then you'd be free to flash away without issue cuz you'll then have the ENG bootloader.
Whenever i try to install a new ROM on my HTC Wildfire 2.1 it blocks at the boot-up.
I erased everything and the cache memory from the ClockWork Recovery and made a back-up image.
I tried installing them from the cold-boot and with ROM Manager even though it's the same thing.
Also, by updating it to 2.2 will i lose my root?
Thanks
I am rockin a hero200 and i have gone between 1.5 to 2.2 to 2.1 then 2.3 back to 2.1 not in the same day of course.Through all that i have kept root with out having to re-root.
you should be fine depending on how you go about rooting it. as for the problem you are having im not the most qualified out there but i do know my fare share it could be a bad recovery flash or your phone didn't hold the root i had that happen once.
i would recommend going on the market and downloading Root Checker to see if your is actually rooted.
what method did you use to root.
The one where you use the android sdk. Not the unrevoked one

not sure if i can link so goggle Guide one click root wildfire. <-- i beleave this is an unrevoked method
i talked to a friend he had a similar issue and that worked.
it should be the first. I usually dont recommend the one click root mainly because i like to have control over what is going on but it fixed a friends phone.
like i said before use Root Checker to see if your is actually rooted.
when i first rooted my phone last year i had a recovery img but no root privileges in the the phone and i fixed it by re-rooting.
il look some more and get back to you but if you want to give this a shot i hope this helps. good luck my friend
The app says that my phone is rooted.
So, i remember now how i rooted the phone.
Installed the HBOOT drivers, then Unrevoked.
Any way of un-rooting the phone, update, re-root?
Also, will it work on 2.2?
ok so this is what i found you can try to find a wildfire stock ruu. I have never looked into un-rooting so im not the best one to ask. From what i understand it flashes a stock rom back to the phone.
you can also try looking up other methods of flashing and test them out when i started thats what i did. i mean your phone is already saying its rooted whats the harm. just read and ask questions before you try something never hurts to be safe and let the others know what your attempting and why.
Unrooting is not my problem.
I want to know why i can't install a custom rom on my phone.

n0ster are you going back to stock using odin? That was my problem and with my captivate, I used odin did the back to the American stock and I was able to load my first rom which was firefly!!!
No. Now it seems i can't update to 2.2.
So i should go back to stock, and try installing a new rom?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I was thinking.
If i would reset the phone to its factory settings, then root it again.
Would i still be able to install the ROM?

I successfuly routed my wildfire but could anyone tell me how to turn off sim protection ? Thanks a lot ! B.R
how do you root your wildfire?
Mine is Froyo 2.2.1 and the unrevoked method isn't working with it.
Ok so after a few unsucesfull attempts to root with one click. I tried the gingerbreak no pc method. Root went fine it seemed and I have super user and root access. Ok so I installed rom manager and tried to flash clockwork 2.5.1.0 so I go to rom manager, choose flash rom, go to clockmod 2.5.1.0.zip hit ok and all that eventually it reboots into clockwork. But the only options are: reboot, flash update.zip, factory reset, and clear partition. So I chose the update zip one. It failed said it couldn't find updaten.zip so I tried that a few times no luck reboted and tried again..no luck so I went through 3 b utton push thing on a reset and clockwork doesn't open. I have to go through rom manager and when I do those are the only 3 options. Also when in clockwork. The camera button is not the ok/enter button as it should be I have to hit the home key for ok. So I tried to flash the fix for 5the home screen. Same issues. Where di I go wrong? How do I get going again? The phone works fine, wifi teather is working now. Just can't seem to get clockwork working or flash anything

Okay, a few things first:
1. Narrow down your problem, your description is far from clear and concise
2. If you're having problems with ClockWorkMod, search their threads for your answers, or post your question there
3. Why are you using Gingerbreak? That's for, Gingerbread. You shouldn't be messing with a leaked and buggy Rom if you don't know what you're doing.
My suggestion is to go to the Clockworkmod thread. Check out version 3 in my signature. All your problems are likely answered there. But I can't answer them for you, regardless, because you neglected to mention why you resorted to this frazzled method. If you want to pursue this method, you'll have to go back to the forum you got it from for your answers, but I recommend starting over.
GOOGLE any question you have with "XDA" in the search bar and I promise that your question has already been answered.
Well I tried to do one click 4 times and could never root. I fund this gingerbreak method in the samsung epic 4g dev area. I ran it and I have root. I had no other idea what to do at the time to gain root. I have rea through the clockwork area but none of the help answerd seemed to have the same issues as me. Sorry. Ill keep reading. I been tryin. At thi since Friday afternoon n just getting frutrated

The reason the One Click didn't work is because you didn't turn off your AV and it kept deleting the single most important part of it.

A couple dumb questions:
1. Is your computer detecting your phone?
You may have a cable problem.
2. Is your phone properly recognized?
You likely haven't installed the drivers listed on the OneClick page for 32 bit and 64 bit computers.
3. Have you attempted to Odin back to stock?
In the first line of my signature you will see a link to Syndicate Rom Frozen and CWM Odin. Download that rom to your phone. Then follow the other link and download the EB13 pre-rooted with CWM 3.0.0.6. Odin the necessary files as the page tells you to, then boot into CWM, and flash Syndicate Rom Frozen. Follow all directions where applicable. When your phone is happy, shutdown properly. Three finger boot into CWM. Backup your phone, and then RESTORE that backup immediately. Journaling will be on. You will be happy. Any future problems from there will have been answered in the Syndicate thread.
Edit: I see k0nane beat me to the punch! I still recommend following the directions as I laid out above, this should be an easier fool-proof process for you. Otherwise, I yield to k0nane's expertise.
Don't use ROM manager. It is very buggy with the Epic.
Do you BONSAI?

Very true, but the directions for Gingerbreak actually told him to use it for this computer-less root method.
Thanks for all the help so far. So what's better than rom manager?
Is there a way to just install clockwork right now? I am not wanting a custom rom or anything else. The only reason I am rooting at all is to fix the lock screen date.
If I could just install clockwork from where I am at now that would be helpfull.
Id like to keep all my settings and apps n such just as they are I finaly have this thing kinda doing what I want I really don't wana mess with it too much more.
Thanks for all the help so far.
My biggest issue with rooting so far has been my lack of access to a computer that I can use to do the roting. I get pc access but getting access to one I can download to doesn't happen often
Thanks again

I have the same issue, I actually downloaded CWM, Roms, and everything to my phone and then loaded them to my work computer. Use dolphin mini if the default browser gives you issues downloading.
Syndicate has a flash-able fix for the date, is that what you want to apply? I just put it on for the hell of it, but I have to tell you, after May, you won't see a problem with any other month. If that's your only reason for rooting, you may just want to stick it out for this month, just saying.
Yeah that's really the only reason I'm rooting.
Thanks for all the help!

Hi all, first.. I appreciate any help from this posting. Seriously!!
I've done rooting, s-off, roms, etc.. i'm pretty familiar with it all, just on another device (glacier)..
I'm a little lost when it comes to the epic and just need some direction so I can help my friend without bricking his phone..
What I want:
* root
* s-off
* clockwork
* custom rom
I found a rooting thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388. However I'm not sure if its the 'latest' method as I experienced the "phone not connected" problem. I plan on bypassing my usb hub tomorrow and try again.
Does this turn s-off? is s=on on this device? (i haven't looked yet).
Lastly, please recommend a rom! I'm running royalginger on my glacier and love it! (thanks faux!!)
This is a newly ordered device, appears to be running froyo? (2.2.1)
Once again, thanks for the shortcuts!
(yes, i did search.. still uncertain of appropriate steps)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy2Et6qVGdo&feature=channel_video_title
Watch that. Teaches you about the Samsung Drivers you will need to install, how to root, and flash a SyndicateROM Frozen (great ROM)
Not sure about the s-off thing.
Hope this helps!
Bunch of other helpful videos and comments here too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009997
There is no need for S-off on epic, I believe he is referring to Nand Unlock which you find on a lot of the HTC and some other devices.
Awesome! This appears to be exactly what I needed! Very much appreciated.
glad I also now understand the epic (or samsung in general?) does not used nand, and no need for s-off.
Thanks again! Ill get this buttoned up for my buddy tomorrow.

Success!
I managed to screw it up and resolve it.. Here is the process i followed and problems i encountered with solutions.
i 1-click rooted based on the forum post and video after downloading all the necessary files...
Copied the rom over to the sdcard, booted into recovery and flashed the rom.
boned.. now it only boots into recovery.
Downloaded ODIN and updated rom (sorry, can't find the post.. it listed a replacement step 5 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700#Odin_Stock_Flashing)
Attempted to flash ODIN, which resulted in several failures and an issue where I couldn't actually connect to the device. I HAD to swap USB ports, this time to the front of the machine.
After flashing ODIN, it would still boot directly into recovery. So i decided to flash the rom found within the thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700#Odin_Stock_Flashing).
Success! Stock rom.. rooted, this time with clockworkmod 3 (this was a separate download, sorry.. lost the thread. file was cwm3.zip. Also contained the 1-click root process).
Booted into recovery, and successfully flashed the rom after wiping cache/davlik.
Once again, thanks everyone!
Glad those videos helped
Glad you for it man. Ues you need cwm3 for most of the roms now cause there are mostly ext4 rom/kernels and not rfs

Samsung epic S-OFF?
I have a Sprint Samsung Epic 4g rooted. When I rename or delete stock apps they are instantly replaced. If the Epic doesn't need S-OFF (security off) as Onyoursix says, then how do I delete or rename stock apps and keep them off?

You need sdx app removal tool or root explorer, or mount the system directory as writeable in terminal. System is read only as default. You just need to be rooted and root explorer is great.

I've looked around and cannot find a solution specific to my issue. If someone can direct me to where I can find a solution I would be grateful.
I have a Samsung Epic 4g (Galaxy S) and have CWM on it. I recently did a factory reset of the phone and after resetting, Titanium Backup (not Pro) is stuck on the "asking for root rights...." screen, even after Superuser Elite asks to allow it.
I've seen things that say to uninstall the updates to SU and I've tried that. I've tried uninstalling SU Elite and Titanium Backup then reinstalling and I can't figure it out.
I'm somewhat of a novice when it comes to this, and brand new to this site so I'm hoping someone can help me with this while walking me through it if need be.
Thank you greatly.

That's what I was thinking, but once I booted up my phone after the factory reset, superuser was still there. Doesn't that mean my phone is still rooted? Not to mention, I've booted up cwm a bunch still after the reset? I'm confused.

To be sure, why not download the app root checker from the play store? Then you will know what you got.

Awesome idea, I wasn't aware. However, I downloaded it, ran it and it verified my root access with no issues. HMPH. I have no idea what to do.
DEFINITELY A RE-ROOT, I say.
Superuser is just an app managing "ALLOWs" and "DENYs". The real issue should be that you lost/broke your su binary in /system/xbin... If you have CWM then easily recover by flashing the latest SU zip package found at http://androidsu.com/superuser/ . Good luck

Team Epic has a CWM flashable that should also clear any binary remnants and get you back rooted the right way.. You can then flash TWRP and all that afterwards if you want.

Well, you have all been a big help. I downloaded this latest su zip and was about to see if it was the issue. Right before I did that, I said "what the hell" and tried flashing via rom manager one more time. You guessed it, it worked. All the headaches for no apparent reason. However, I thank everyone. I'm a new member to the site and it's refreshing to see many try and come to your aid.
