[Q] Questions about HTCDev. can I root or flash ROM?

I have been seeing posts saying that it is still S-ON after unlocked with HTCDev, is that true? And does the version of HBoot maters?
If it is still S-ON, may I ask, can I
Root the device
Flash recovery
Flash kernel
overclock
and Flash ROM
with S-ON?
I really want to help with my friend's Buzz.

#1 yes it does leave S-on but you are allowed to root your phone and from there you can install clockwork rom managar and flash clockwork recover and then you can install roms etc.
#2 Yes you will need to change the hboot, but they will prvide it in the instructions as the wildfire has an asterik for hboot upgrade via ruu.
Acording to heaps of people are using HTC Supertools to get root. Although i have a Desire HD, when i have used this i have not got root, but thats just seems to be me
It should work fine if done correctly.
Hope this helps.

As far as i know, the only thing you can't flash is the radio. I am not sure about kernel though.

Have you tried to get into recovery through the bootloader? (Press volume down + power).

have you flashed a custom ROM or Recovery?

See ,I tried flashing clockwork mod recovery from Rom manager and rebooted into bootloader to go to recovery ,but I get the error ,and according to my friend ,you cannot flash Rom without any recovery.
The problem with my phone is I cannot boot into recovery

You can't get into recovery when flashed it from rom manager by the bootloader option. You have to reboot into recovery from rom manager after flashing it from there cause it's not permanent.

I tried doing that too ,but it has the same result.
is there any way I can put cm7 without flashing into recovery ?
Or can I delete the recovery and put it again ?
My friend told me that if you have the image file of the Rom (which can be backed up from another wildfire having cm7), you can boot into that image and install cm7 .
can this happen ?

You need to install cwm first, Rom manager just gives you a temporary downgrade to flash some older zips which use a different script to newer ones.
I believe you can use fastboot to install it, guide here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
If you follow this guide that will get you cwm 4.x.x and allow you to flash cm7 from recovery, the latest version of cwm is 5.0.2.0 however and the img is knocking about in various places on this forum.

okay ,now this i my bad .
I tried rooting through a site which was meant for the wildfire s .
so i erased the recovery and put clockworkmod recovery .
After 5 tries , i finally got into the recovery and installed CM7 in minutes
Thanks to all of you for help

Heh nice to hear you made it

[Q] Unable Root HTCWildfire-A333

Hi Guys,
Having Problem in Rooting for my WildFire-A333.
Find Below are my Specifications.And Yes I tried both SuperClick and UnRevoked but it seems doenst work.
Model:HTCWildFire-A333,
S-ON(Unable to do S-OFF),
HBoot:1.02.0000,
Android 2.2.1,
Kernel Version:2.6.32.21-g6c55ee4
HELP!!!!
Thanks

How did you get that hboot, did the phone come with it? Never seen it before. Try to go to revolutionary.io and try to downgrade your hboot so you can s-off. After you have s-off you can then root and custom rom like mad ;-) if you can't downgrade the you can go to htcdev and get your bootloader *unlocked* but that will void your warrenty and they will definitely know about it.

Looks like you have updated the HBOOT from HTCDev site.
If yes you can use HTCDev site Bootloader unlock tool to unlock your bootloader which will make your device rootable. (it will still show S-ON though).

Nop,HBOOT came with this device itself.
i tried both htcdev,they says unable to bootloader for this ROM.

The HBOOT must have been updated somehow. Is it a new phone or did you get it second hand.
Did you try HTCDev method from the steps after the HBOOT update is done.

Nop its not updated it is as it is which i bought almost 1 year ago.
Its Not Second Hand
Yes I tried and result was unsuccessful.(ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED)
it says your rom version is not supported currently,but there will be an update soon that will be supported.
i have selected "hTC Asia India" as carrier. is it wrong??

I believe first you tried to update HBoot which failed then you tried to unlock bootloader without updating HBoot and that also failed.
If that is the case you have two options.
1. Search the forums to downgrade your HBoot to 1.01.0001, if you can successfully downgrade your Hboot you can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF.
2. Wait sometime to see if HTCDev site gets updated with support of your ROM and then try again.
Also if your existing ROM is India specific then you should select "HTC Asia India"
Mine is 2.25.720.1 CL299250 release-keys which is for India.

hello ,
i unlocked my bootloader using htc dev website ,and then i rooted the phone using gingerbreak v1.2.
the phone got rooted successfully but when i tried flashing CM7 on my phone ,through rom manager ,my phone restarted after asking superuser for permission .
after the restart , the phone hangs with a white screen with HTC logo .
i had flashed clockworkmod recovery before getting CM7 .
i tried going to recovery from bootloader and from pc .
please help guys ,i am really stuck in here .

sorry but this may help. Install CM7 using recovery not through rom manager. This may fix your problem.I hope =)

Hi.. u just try rooting your phone again using "unlockroot" one click tool(www.unlockroot.com) (as i did) or use htc super tool ...
Later install cwm recovery via fastboot method..plzz dont do it via rom manager as it just gives a temp recovery...
Then you can install custom rom's by going into cwm recovery..
IMP: make a backup of ur existing rom b4 flashing a custom rom and do a data reset b4 flashing..
hope this helps....

Sorry - I have followed the HTCDev side and I have unlocked the bootloader (it shows nice 'UNLOCKED' on power+volume down on boot). However I cannot find a way to actually root the device. How can I do it?

Follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22011309&postcount=4 post from me. I did it that way and it is the safest way because it does not try to use any kind of hack to root your phone.

Thanks. I have successfully flashed clockworkmod. Then I've made nandroid backup (and flashed cyanogenmode - it seems to be much more responsive).
The only alteration was that I have used the fastboot utility from Google Android SDK.

Happy that you succeeded.
The fastboot utility you needed to download from the suggested post was also from Google Android SDK albeit an older version.

Try doing a factory reset using clockwork mod(take a backup of your data first,although you probably would have before unlocking the bootloader.) You haven't done anything to the phone.

Even though we have the same processor and stuff im not sure how rom compatability works between the two phones. AFAIK the kernels aren't built EXACTLY for the vivow_ct even though we use the same source (maybe idk what im talking about someone verify me)
anyways make sure you're running the correct hboot and proper recovery.
If you do have a custom recovery, try booting into it or go into the bootloader (press vol down and power) and go back to stock from an ruu

Are you S-on or S-off? What ROM were you trying to load? More info is needed than what you gave. The more info the more helpful we could be

Did you re-lock the bootloader before trying to flash the RUU?
Also "it didn't work can someone fix it" doesn't really give us any information. What exactly isn't working.

To fix your touchscreen issues you need to go back to stock and update your device while on stock to get your bootloader to 3.19 as 3.18 is known to give touch issues especially with ROMs. If no updates are available then you must wait for the update to be pushed to your device model.
Also, you can't just use an RUU while your on a custom ROM. You have to restore a nandroid backup of your stock device with root, unroot, reboot to bootloader, flash stock recovery, and then relock bootloader. Start up your phone and at this point now you can use the RUU.
The only time you can do an RUU restore from a custom ROM, especially CM; is on devices that have S-Off as they completely wipe and reflash entire parts of the system.
Finally, the zip that miniwhooper posted has SD write permissions enabled along with init.d support and busybox.
This zip can be used during the root process instead of using the SuperSU zip by chainfire.
