[Q] HTC BEE No root?

Spent almost 6 hours yesterday trying to figure out how to root the htc wilfire (Bee), but was unable to because alltel out dumbed me by branding their phone. Any known workarounds?

Super one click 1.5.5 seems to give a root. I havent been able to get a recovery flashed yet though.

HTC BEE? Lolwut.

Bee = Buzz / Wildfire for Verizon
http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-Bee-En-Route-to-Verizon-Leaked-ROM-Emerges-160263.shtml

I have the HTC Bee(Wildfire) for Bluegrass Cellular. When trying unrevoked it says device "bee" not supported. I did use super one click and got it to root and install superuser. I mainly want root for wifi tether which seems to work, but I would like to install custom roms like I do on my Evo (Evo is personal phone, Wildfire is work phone). The Clockwork mod says it flashed, but when rebooting into recovery its the standard useless recovery. I also tried to install a VPN app requiring root and it says Busybox missing, root access denied even though when it prompted for superuser access I hit allow. So I think Super One Click is semi rooting the devices but not completely. I tried to unroot and it hangs on Removing Superuser.apk. I want to start fresh with it and do the Shell Root instead of the other root via S.O.C. Anyone else had any luck with the "Bee" Wildfires?

From here:

Some devices have a NAND lock. SuperOneClick will only give a Shell root until you remove this lock.
The following phones can use http://unrevoked.com to remove this lock:
* Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic)
* Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
* HTC Desire GSM
* HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
* HTC Aria
* Droid Eris (HTC DesireC)
* HTC Wildfire (HTC Buzz)

It appears as though this NAND lock also applies to the Alltel HTC Wildfire (HTC Bee) . Unfortunately, unrevoked does not yet run on the Bee.

Get me a rom update utility. I can get us a permanant root. I'm just slightly scared of not being able to boot my phone, and would like a way to reverse it. Current version is 1.07.671.2.
Thanks!

I was able to root my htc wildfire "bee" phone from alltel using the z4 root by ryanza. Seems to be the only rooting that works. Ive been unable to find any custom roms for it though, or if theres any roms that work for it at all.

I have both an HTC Wildfire and a HTC Desire. I rooted and ROM'ed the Desire no problem. My wifes wildfire is a "bee". I used SuperOneClick and it says it is rooted but i cant boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. It just boots into the regular recovery. Anyone know a way to get this to work?

To root my buzz i used unrevoked and it flashs clockworkmod recovery automatily .

Unrevoked does not support "bee" device. Anything anyone else wants to add?

Hi try to root my htc bee and I'm like a brick indicates that the only way to get serious with a GoldCard but I can not have access to create it. I say it is possible to obtain GoldCard other similar equipment but no one has this model here. Someone could give their goldcrad to get my htc bee. Please Please sorry for my English

I heard an app called Z4root is able to root the "bee", but I'm not sure.

I unable to root my "BEE" with unrevoked. How did you do it? Any RUU available for the Bee? Thank you so much!

you could try to see if htcdev supports the bee, if it does then you would be able to permroot, recovery, roms the lot

I'm not really sure he could get a recovery and ROMs, since you can't use buzz stuff on the bee.

So there is no available RUU or methods to root the Bee as of this time ?

[Q] Help...Stuck in boot with green HTC logo after rooting with visionary...S-OFF

People have been experiencing this problem mostly have S-ON but after i rooted with visionary i got S-OFF but i got stuck in Green and white boot screen...anyone know how to fix this,am desparate...
NOTE:
The bootloader screen says S-OFF.

Go to this link and flash the custom PC10IMG by hot_hands in post #33 read the entire thread though, also do not flash a stock PC10IMG what ever you do, or you will be bricked for good. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912399
Note. This is for the tmobile G2.
Sent from my HTC Vision

THANX for the quick reply,but how do i flash without a recovery like clockwork...?

I dont see a link?

Place the CUSTOM PC10IMG on the root of your sd card then power off or pull the battery then hold volume down + power on and it will find the file and flash it automaticlly. File must be named PC10IMG.zip

Currently downloading the zip...just reading the thread while waiting...Hope it works, Thank you for coming to a noods rescue

I was on my phone when I replied so i couldn't see your carrier info, this file was made for the Tmobile G2, I am not sure if it will work for the Desire Z. Did you see my note in my first reply.
For the Desire Z I believe they have the RUU's for whatever version you had running on your phone

It still worked...THANX A MILLION{",}

It'll work, but it will also flash the G2-specific engineering HBOOT as opposed to the Desire Z one. Not sure there will be any adverse effects, but in case you weren't aware, the Desire Z does have slightly different partitioning than the G2.

Hi everyone... i was using strawmetal's downgrade pdf guide and successfully managed to downgrade my htc desire z to froyo(earlier it was gingerbread)
it also shows hows to permanently root the htc desire z.. i followed the guide to the point and after checking the md5-3 matches md5-2.... i typed in # reboot
now instead of enjoying my freshly rooted htc desire z ... am stuck at the welcome screen...the white with the green htc...
i ve seen the forum n yes there are xplainations of how to go about saving ur phone...
my query is a lil different ...
see , we did everything correctly ..so am sure we shud be able to start the phone with out losing the permanent root and all the other hardwork... i also installed the recovery clockwork ....
somebody show me the way .....

try flashing rom of choice from recovery

First off, Visionary is known to fail frequently which is why it is not recommended to use.
That aside, try flashing a new recovery via fastboot as some versions of CWM are known to hang on the HTC screen.

Help for rooting!!

Hi, I was trying to root my Desire HD using unrevoked. I was stuck at the part that the unrevoked software said device'ace' is not supported at the time. Wat does that mean?

That software can't root your device. Probably it will be supported in a later release.

... this is the Desire forums, not the Desire HD forums. You might want to go look there instead.

HTC desire

Ok so I need help rooting my branded HTC desire running 2.2
I'm not a fan of the gold card method and I have been trying unrEVOked to no avail.
I have uninstalled HTC sense and any program that may interfere with my HTC when in boot loader.
My phone will lose communication with my computer when trying to ready hboot.
I'm at my wits end. HELP
Thanks
Sent from Odin on my HTC desire

I think you should put this on the HTC Desire forum i have one before and unrevoked works for me.
Read threads in QA or stickies in Development forum.

It's still a driver issue..
One sure shot method is to do this in linux. Or install a second copy of windows as multi boot. In it install htc software, uninstall htc sync leaving the drivers behind. Install unrevoked driver in hboot mode, then retry unrevoked

Sorry for the long delay in a reply. Yes it was a driver issue but I have rooted my phone and now I'm running cyanogen mod 7
Thanks for your help

New to rooting HTC Desire

So, I told my friend I'd help him root his HTC Desire. Thing is, when he first got it, which was apparently shortly after it came out, he had it rooted. The guys said, however, that it was a partial root. I don't know what that means. Also, he has the super user app, but no recovery installed. Also, I've looked over the guide for rooting the phone and getting S-OFF. (I have an EVO 3D) It's so different from my phone that I am not sure what bootloader version this phone has.
I know that it is locked, KINGDOM PUT SHIP S-ON, HBOOT 1.22.0000. If there is any help, I'd appreciate it. I'd be alright if it weren't rooted at all, but since it's partially rooted, I'm not sure.

I was on the bootloader for the desire when I typed this. That is the current hboot version. the version on the EVO 3d is 1.5

HTC Kingdom is the codename for HTC Evo Design 4G or HTC Hero S
(HTC Bravo is the codename for HTC Desire)
so root methods in this forum won't be of much help.
i'm not sure what your aim is:
- rooted phone? if you have superuser app it's likely that you're already rooted. try running an app that requires superuser permissions e.g. titanium backup
- custom rom? then you will need custom recovery, i couldn't find the xda forum for evo design 4g, so try google for a guide on how to install one for that phone.

Ahh, my friend wasn't sure which phone he got. I couldn't find a design forum here either. Also, yeah, he said it was a partial root (not sure what that means) and as for the custom recovery, he doesn't have one, which you usually get one when you root the phone (CWM Revolutionary usually). Thanks for the info, I'll check out google when I get home.

I think by partial root here might mean that the phone is not s-off yet
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

Could he mean temporary root? (root is lost after reboot)
Because there you have a superuser app but no recovery...
You could try using apps that require root and check if root is gone...

There's an easy way to root/s-off on my guide.

But is it for HTC design?

So, I've searched on google HTC Design Rooting and S-OFF, and all it links me to is stuff for the HTC Desire or the HTC Desire S. It's like the Design doesn't exist. What gives.

Ahem, Im the noob here but...
Try "Find Your Device..." at the top of the forum, write just "HTC Evo 4G".
And look for an answer there... try READ FIRST! - Rooting, Solutions to Problems, the Answer to Life

Problem is..."HTC Evo Design 4G" and "HTC Evo 4G" are different phones...
@Panface, don't know why there aren't relevant forums, possibly not a popular device among developers? If Google can't find the answers don't know what else to suggest, all I know is rooting methods for each phone should be treated uniquely, and we can't help you much here unfortunately

Yeah, it's an HTC Design, which is vastly different from the HTC EVO 4G. But yeah, it's weird that Google can't find anything about it. Must not be that popular of a phone.
