just downgrade it and then root it

Downgrading to 2.1 won't downgrade HBOOT so u still can't root then.

Search the forum for Xtc pay as you go to disable security on wildfire froyo. This will cost around 25 quid and is expected to b released in about a weeks time.
This page looks good for instructions on how to root after that - ".amarjit.info/2011/04/how-to-root-htc-wildfire-android.html?m=1"
Not tried it yet though!

Not sure its worth that much! 25! Will probably wait for price drop!

Thanks, is it the latest version with the latest updates?

It's Android 2.2 with Sense 2.0. But do not upgrade, otherwise it will be harder with rooting later. And press the thanks button, its faster than type "thanks".

But afterwards i wont need to root it again, because in august im getting a new mobile ( end of contract )
so then i can sell it with latest software etc.
Any idea where i can find the latest version and a guide to un-root ?

EDIT: My internet is slowed down to 0.0000001 kb/s, and it will come back in the beginning of next month. Can u handle it?

Which tutorial did you read? Try the noob one. Flashing custom ROM and custom kernel will help you play games smoothly even without overclocking. Once you have successfuly unlock bootloader and install custom recovery, you can freely install custom ROM which is extremely fun

Tell me about it! When i joined xda (early July) I did not know the r of rooting. And barely one month, my phone is rooted! Read and learn, and you will too, soon root your phone

Thanx all i am now rooted on my one v but still using my optimus as my little tester monkey before I do any thing. Any one with a one v wanting to root HTC. Com has a good method and they give u the code to unlock the boot loader page again thanx for the advice

[Q] Rom?!

Sorry but ive got a pretty nooby question. If you want a rom like the Viper rom, Do you need to root youre device to use that ROM?

Yes. There is no way to flash a rom without unlocking the bootloader rooting the phone and on most devices flashing a custom recovery.

Well if you want viper ROM, your gonna have to port it too lol. We don't have it for primo yet, maybe soon. Don't try to install one from incredible, you could very easily brick your phone.

Is there a rom where you don't have to root youre phone to use it?
Sent from my HTC One V using xda premium

The ROM that comes with the phone. Did you get your phone subsidized through a carrier with a contract? Trying to wrap my head around why you are nervous about rooting.

Welcome to XDA devs. You'll find that most of the development forums have "sticky" posts at the top that will explain not only the rules (you'll see one applies to you already) and standards, but also some helpful "noob" guides to get you started.
From your initial question (and follow-ups) it appears you're brand new to android. That's cool, we all were once. Do yourself a favor and do about an hour of reading--straight reading--before asking any more questions. This is not an insult, it will be much faster than asking, waiting for a response, then asking another question ad infinitum.
Finally, specifically to your question: most of what happens here on XDA devs requires unlocking your bootloader and rooting; if you're not comfortable with doing that, this probably won't be the best forum to you. Again, no offense intended. Your fears are well-founded: you could break your phone if you don't understand what you're doing. That said, I'm pretty much computer illiterate, but have had a great deal of success around here by just reading, reading, reading.... and then following directions in the posts (and there's many posts in which people give fantastic step-by-step directions.
So good luck, search the forums, read the forums, and ask questions once you've tried something and it's not working the way you expected. And have fun!

Actually they are all kidding you. You don't need to root to have a rom..
Just stick to the stock rom.

No you don't need to be rooted to flash a rom. Unfortunately you will.need to unlock your bootloader via HTC dev. Install recovery then flash the rom

They're right, you don't need to root to flash a ROM. In fact, most if not all custom ROMs are pre-rooted. I'm suggesting you read first to understand what "root" really means; once you have the basics down, the idea of messing with your phone won't seem nearly as frightening.
BTW- another thing about XDA: click the "thanks" button in addition to saying thanks in your comment.

I ported one Viper rom. It was very laggy due to the overclock default of the rom with Screen off, and bulkyness in size.
You DONT need to root your device to use a rom, but you NEED to unlock the bootloader.
There goes your loophole.

So i have to unlock bootloader and recovery and thats it?

Need some help with touch issue

Basically I'm helping therinsem with his sense5 project.. and I flashed an experimental ion kernel and it just gave me a blank white screen after the htc logo, so I pulled battery and restored a backup of jellybeer, and booted it to find my touchscreen not working, so I pulled battery and rebooted and it just sat on boot anim for ages and ages, so another battery pull and boot into recovery, but the touch didn't work there either (4ext) and I flashed an ruu to reset it completely and hope it worked again, but no still not working
Any ideas what's wrong and what I could do to fix it?
Sent from my Dream/Sapphire using xda app-developers app

Have you tried fastboot flashing a non-touch recovery, then flashing a stock-ish ROM (like ARHD) from there? Also, are you S-On or S-Off?

S-off
That was my first plan for the day! Then if that didn't help I thought id try get s-on to restore a standard hboot

Do you think a new touch panel would work?

I doubt it...you flashed software and it broke, so I doubt a hardware fix would work.

It's possible that your hardware failed independent of the software flash. So it is worth a shot.

Try this explanation, I'm not saying that its right but its possible; the kernel was not properly configured and supplied too much voltage to the digitiser, they are very sensitive things and too much voltage could easily cause is too break
