good evening all
i would like to know how can i root my wildfire...
its version is 2.2.1...
with unrevoked it gives me the error...
"is your firmware to new?"
did anyone did this rooting?
thanks
I've been searching up and down and still haven't been able to find it. I believe unrEVOked is working on the wildfire but I have no idea how long they will take. When Froyo 2.2 was released on the Wildfire/ Buzz they patched it so yeah, sucks to be Wildfire users. Lucky I have a Desire
isnt there a problem with the VGA pixels? I mean that it as a tiny display according to the desire.

Hey, I'm gonna come with a really noobish question I gues... I've read alot of guides and such about this, but I still don't find anything that states it clearly, and it can get kinda confusing.
I have an HTC Desire that I want to root, it has HBoot 0.92 and OTA Froyo 2.2, I don't think this is a problem anymore though?
Now, I believe my phone is unbranded/unlocked - any way to check?
And what radio would I need to use? I'm from denmark and the tele company is called Telia... Does it matter?
And since I'm from denmark, I can't buy any paid apps off the market, and it pisses me off, rooting will fix that right?
I'd like to use the OpenDesire ROM. But it's a bit confusing with all kinds of topics refering to eachother, and the "Ultimate guide on rooting" says that I need HBoot 0.80 and a current rom of 1.15 (or something like that), I have 2.2 >.<
Thanks in advance.
Go to Settings>About phone>Software information
If your phone has S/W 2.09.405.8 then you're on a generic Desire - which is a good thing!!
Next is to check the box specification - if it says you've got a 3.7" AMOLED screen then you can downgrade the HBOOT and root your phone. If it doesn't say AMOLED then you've got a bit more work involved and the information you need is in the ROM Development forum
Hey, thanks for the quick reply!
I got everything you said.
So that means I can just use Unrevoked?
And how about the market? That's one of the main reasons for me to root, so that I'd be able to access the full market?
Bump? Or something
there's no way to root a Desire with the Bootloader HBoot 0.92 known yet, which you got after you've upgraded to Android 2.2.
This means you have to downgrade the bootloader first, root it with unrevoked, ...
There are several guides out there.
But the important thing is, that you must downgrade the Bootloader in order to root your device.

I'm interested in the market problem for me.
Hi, everyone i am new to android hope to get into it a bit though and learn some new stuff
Before i begin i hope i have posted this thread in the right place.
First of all i had a locked htc desire to orange i have now debranded it using the froyo 2.2 generic rom and unlocked it but i cant seem to root it with unrEVOked 3.3.2.
When i run unrEVOked it says "firmware is too new" although i thought it worked with android 2.2 ?
I am currenlty running this rom "RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed" and my HBOOT version is 0.93 and i also have the S-LCD screen.
Could anybody try explain why this isnt working for me ?
Thanks.
What version of unrEVOked are you using? I rooted that version with no issues using 3.31

Hi everyone. Ok so I'm trying to root my HTC Buzz (Wildfire) using unrevoked V3.32, but it keeps saying when the phone rebooted :
Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?
I've done a factory reset on my phone too cause I thought that might help; but it didn't...
I'm running Android version 2.2.1 on my HTC Wildfire.
Can ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME!?!?!
I really need to root my phone.
Also if there is another program that's better to use than unrevoked can you please tell me...
Thanks!
you can only remove security to root it with alpharev x beta

Remember though, there's no way to revert back yet, so, if you care for your warranty, don't do it, and, there's no other way to root.
Also, this is related to Wildfire Android Development?
@3xeno I don't know if this is really related to Wildfire Android Development; but I just really need some help. Ok I would really like to try it out; but I don't want to lose the phone's warranty...
Are you sure there aren't ANY other ways to root the HTC Wildfire without S-OFF???
I really can't lose the phone's warranty....
Yes I am sure, which is why I forewarned. Else I wouldn't. I would rather not see someone follow a post by me, then come back and ask "I want to revert for warranty... etc etc".
If you need warranty, you will have to wait for AlphaRev X to release the downgrader, which will remove their patched HBoot (bootloader) and restore the stock HTC one. But, there is no release date info on it, so, asking me when it would be released will be pointless, since I have no idea myself.
PS - Development is ONLY for development purposes. There is a dedicated Q and A subsection for these type of posts.
@3xeno Ok since there is no other way; I'm going to downgrade froyo to stock Android 2.1
I found a post explaining how to downgrade my Android. Do you think this will work???
My plan is to downgrade the android OS of my HTC Wildfire, and then root it using unrevoked.
No, it wont work, because its for Desire, and Desire is not equal to Wildfire. There is another thread in the Wildfire Android Development for downgrading 2.2 to 2.1, but its pointless for your purpose because it leaves the bootloader untouched.
As I have specified before, the only way for you is AlphaRev X. Looking at other phones techniques wont help because they are all pretty much unique, unless explicitly specified that it works on other devices.
Thanks for all the help.
Going to use AlphaRev X

i cant get it to work but that for linking
I am interested in unlocking my Orange branded Desire HD. The AMT looks helpful but I need to downgrade to 1.32. I found some instructions for this but the disclaimer at the top bothers me.
DO NOT USE THIS IF YOUR PHONE CAME WITH GINGERBREAD.

(it bricks the phone if your phone came pre-installed). Now I have two issues with this:
1) I did not care about android when I got it in February 2011 (the date probably means NOT gingerbread)
2) I sent it back to HTC in December 2011 because the GPS and proximity sensor were faulty. It came back working and the job sheet said something like the circuit board had been replaced, but like a n00b I could not find it when I searched when I realised how important it might be.
It came back with the same IMEI, if that helps.
So here is the question:
How can I tell if my Desire HD is a "shipped gingerbread" device.
I have root, ENG S-OFF, know how to run adb and fastboot but not much more than that.
I Guess Ur Using The Froyo Android 2.2 U Can Go To Settings,About Phone and check android version if its 2.2 then its froyo if 2.3 its gingerbread but in my opinion its froyo since you've routed it etc
Yes, sorry, I meant to say I am on Absolution 3.6, which is gingerbread, but what I'm running now doesn't tell me whether I'll be bricked if I downgrade.
i didnt get why u want to downgrade and downgrade to what?
As I say...

I want to sim unlock my Orange UK Desire HD.
Oh I Get It You Can Do It Because u rooted ur phone and installed a custom rom si ur phone came with froyo my friend so u can procced to downgrading hope that i helped you
So you are saying you can't root the gingerbread Desire HDs?
No Cz Htc Have Made A Security For The gingerbread update for the dhd so it cant be rooted u will have to downgrade it to froyo to gain root
1) no need to go.through all this trouble. You are allready sim unlocked. All the rooting methods used gfree Wichita along with soff gives you simunlock aswell
2) GB. Is rootable using ace hack kit no need to downgrade
Edit I should add. Their is no.need to downgrade unless your phone is on the newer sense 3.0
