[Q] HTC Wildfire S - Marvel - Shipped as S-off

Hi to all !
Three weeks ago I got my HTC Wildfire S and it was shipped as S-off.
This is what I get if I access HBOOT mode:
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.90.0000
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.46.35.08
Apr 8 2011, 17:45:10
I tried: Gingerbreak 1.20, SuperOneClick v2.0, Z4Root, Unrevoked 3.32 and all without succes to root my phone.
Is there any other way to do this ?
Can I flash Wildfire S with one custom ROM and then try to get root ?
I read about that this official ROM with Gingerbread 2.3.3 still have kind of NAND security.
Is it possible even if the phone is S-Off ?
Can I downgrade to one other, lower version then 2.3.3 of Android and get the root and then again come back to higher version of Android but then with root access, and if yes could someone explain how to do this please ?
Are the ROM's from old Wildfire (Buzz) compatible with Wildfire S (Marvel) and what is the risk to test them and still not to brick my phone ?
Thanks in advance to all !

Since your phone is S-OFF, you could try flashing the official ROM :http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Marvel
On that ROM, Gingerbreak is guaranteed to work (I've done it twice already).

Interesting ,
Shipped as S-Off by mistake ?!?

Some devices are shipped S-off.

This thread is ready to be moved to the General section
O.K.
But is there any chance that later, after update, it will not work anymore as it should work or something like that ?
And how can I preserve (BackUp) this original ROM from this device without root access and before flashing, because if something go wrong then I can restore the original ROM ...?
Greetz !
And to Mods I owe an apologie for posting in wrong section, sorry.

Rooted
I did what LeeCHeSSS has me suggested and now is my Wildfire S rooted and with SuperUser. I didn't use custom recovery.
Thanks LeeCHeSSS !
Dankjewel !

Mine also came with S-off. Did anyone rooted this device? Is there any kind of tutorial for this? I am doing this for the first time in my life..

Look in development section.

I found it! I was looking at the wrong thread! I will try the tutorial I found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275.

Just did it and it works! Everything is OK! I have root . Thanks and special thanks to Heritz !

Downgrade to older stock ROM
All what you have to do is to download official ROM as LeeCHeSSS has explained up :
"Since your phone is S-OFF, you could try flashing the official ROM :http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?ca...d&model=Marvel
On that ROM, Gingerbreak is guaranteed to work (I've done it twice already). "
After that you have to download Gingerbreak 1.20 and execute it and after that your device will be rooted.
You don't need custom recovery.
Cheers !

Or just flash a custom rom which is pre rooted.

[Q] Some noobie Wildfire questions

Hi, I have just bought a second hand Wildfire and loving it but I need some questions answering.
1. What is S-off and what are its advantages?
2. What version of z4root will root this device as it says it is compatible but 1.30 just closes on aquiring root shell?
Don't be scared to be technical as I am computer literate and will understand. Thanks in advance.

go here The Complete Wildfire Index and you will find all the answers, and you dont need z4root ;]

Ahh, thank you sir.
Edit: unfortunately I don't have pc access yet as I am on holiday. so about this z4root method?

it doesnt work,if your hboot is 0.8.. you can only root it if dont want s-off, but if its 1.0.. you have to s-off in order to root, i dont thing theres an app than can root the wildfire(havent tests one myself) but you can search, basically you need pc ;]

I see. Doing the pc method will I have to downgrade my hboot to 0.8 if it is higher?

Try http://revolutionary.io/

Tried that also didn't work

Maybe I didn't do it right

Did you get any errors? Used IRC-channel?

No errors , except it wouldn't read my device

Ask in revolutionary's IRC channel.

let me guess...
a) you have HTC Sync
b) you don't have all the necessary drivers

Root achieved! Running the latest Oxygen rom. Thanks for all the help.

Root 2.2 is it possible?

I had tried to root wildfire who was updated to 2.2. Now I had tried to root the phone. And near to the end there writes
Error:failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?
Does that mean that is impossible to root wildfire while hi is on 2.2 version and I must downgrade it to 2.1 version to root phone?
And how will I downgrade it?
And can I upgrade it again after downgrading.
Sorry for my bed grammar,and please help me.

Did you use the unrevoked method to root your phone? Cause it is a method rooting only 2.1 devices. Check out revolutionary.io where you should find all the guide to root your 2.2.1 phone.

I have rooted my phone,can I update phone to 2.2 again?

Did you use revolutionary method? It gives you s-off, and the ability to flash a custom recovery. It does not upgrade-downgrade your ansroid version. Go to settings, about phone, and there you can see your android version. Hypothetically, without flashing a new rom, like cm7, you are still on sense, so nothing has changed except the fact you have root access, which you can find out installing titanium backup from the market.
Have a happy new year with your new rooted phone.

I actually can't tell you which the best rom is, you have to see for yourself. I love cm7, though i've tried many roms with or without sense. Flash them, try them, and choose the one that suits you. Check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318&highlight=roms
