would I still have the Android 2.1 with HTC sense, if I root with a goldcard? Also will I be able to update it to 2.2 (whenever it is available) Over The Air??

You would still have 2.1 this is how i started;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
and then i just jumped to a cooked ROM
as for over the air im not actually too sure about that might be a matter of jkust flashing to the 2.2 when it eventually drops in like 2weeks - 2months

Thanks, DanTehManUK.
That was is a very useful link, thanks for being so helpful...

Its what we do

could you help me pleez! i am on a branded htc desire 2.2 with hboot 0.93.
i need to know how to create a goldcard for it. i also need to know how to root it to add custom roms. i have searched the forums but some say i cant create a goldcard for it and such so i am confused. all help would be appreciated as i am abit ov a noob, but understand some aspects.
Thanks in advance

theres no need to use the gold card method,.... try the unrevoked method its much easier and you will be rooted in ten minutes max

Could u kindly send me a link on what to do pleez? And how come it doesnt need a goldcard? :/ can u still add custom theme/rom if u dont? Thanks

have you been able to unlock your phone by rooting it?

Rooting doesn't SIM unlock the phone, you still need to get a code for that

I unlocked my phone in five minutes by ringing the phone company the phone was locked to.

You can use the app in the general forum to sim unlock the phone - no codes, no cost.

Use the desire sim unlock utility in the development thread. I've used it numerous times and it always works and it's free.

[Q] easiest way to s-off? unrevoked?

i read that unrevoked does it for cdma? (US phones yea?)
what about uk desires? (GSM?) will it do it for our phones too, or is it only the iso method?

Will work for gsm aswell

is the only working one for gsm desire

No it won't. for GSM unrevoked will root but not S-off. to S-off use AlphaRev. There are also some tutorials on this.
Make sure you actually know what your about to do and what the risks are.

thanks guys.
i know what the risks are (potentially fubarring my phone)
will do the vbox meth tomoz
ta all

Sorry jumped the gun ... I will hang my head in shame only read the post and forgot about the title s off is real easy to do just burn the .iso with Nero and takes like 5 mins to complete the soff its as easy as one 2 , 3

Just burn the cd and do it the normal way. Much easier and lots less to go wrong. It's as easy as putting the cd in and rebooting your pc in most cases.

tried the vbox way and it was fiddly. hooked up a dvd writer to my NC10 netbook and booted off the CD.
took about 3 mins i think.
now, i know there's something in the oxygen rom that's only available with s-off, anyone want to make a short (or long) list of things we can now do?
to be honest, i just wanted to get rid of that all white htc splash tbh

Hi, time progressed.... is there any noob/the easiest way at this moment to gain S-OFF???
Any one click program etc....?
Found HTC Supertool v3, but not tried this and not sure that is functional on WFS.
THX for your reply!

Depending on hboot of your device, 0.93 and 1.02 work with revolutionary, older are compatible with unrevoked and alpharev.

[Q] Rooting HTC Desire Android 2.3

How i can root my HTC Desire with official Gingerbread.
AlphaRev18 and unrEVOked (last) dont work.
P.S. Excuse me for my English.
THANKS

you can't. Could try 2.2 RUU to revert back to Froyo and then root.

He can't revert back to Froyo as the Hboot have been upgraded.
Your kinda stuck till someone bring a rooting method or something like that!

i cant downgrade because my hboot version is 1.02.
and its not suported with my Froyo ruu.
What can i do?

Wait until there is a way to root or S-OFF your phone..... if that day will ever come.

hi, what do you think, when will root?

Fantastic! Just switched for a sec to new ROM from my favorite MIUI. . I'm sick seeing old Sense
No shell or DHD method will work?

If you would take a look at the developer section you would see that it's not only possible to root there are also some prerooted roms out there, but sry maybe it's better for all, if you change to another phone, I would recommend you an iPhone, with it you won't have to read as much.
Edit:
About your s-on problem, it's not like there are not many hints how to get s-off inside this forum, but try this page
http://www.google.com
and type HTC s-off or to do a shortcut xtc-clip

WF S is rootable, either try Gingerbreak or try the tut on this site

Is this S-ON or S-OFF?

Please check if your device is S-off or not. If it's not then we have now opened the door to Narnia.

When i try second command i get error permission denied and a syntax error.
File is sent succesfully and in right directory.

Looking through the thread another member said it worked on his WFS

Are you sure that your fw is 2.3.4 or is 2.3.3?? The only way of rooting your phone is using xtc clip and put it on s-off.

This means that we will gen an update to 2.3.4 soon...

I have searched for days and have had no solid answers for rooting the Wildfire S on Virgin Mobile (USA). I understand about S-OFF, and know about the XTC clip and all that...but, because VM (USA) uses CDMA band, the sim clip is totally useless because there is no card in my phone. I'm not new to rooting...but really HTC....I buy a phone outright, and it's locked.
Any leads? I will run whatever exploit is necessary. This phone is great! It's the right size, plenty fast enough, but is so bogged down by preinstalled crap. Root fixes everything.
Heres the info from Hboot, and the software/kernel info. Anything else I can do to be helpful to achieve root, let me know!

damn... got to hope Alpharex takes it back up or wait for HTC
I got one of these phones too [online BestBuy] Memory issues already.
Really like Auto Memory Manager and Android Assistant [apps on Market]. Also, I disabled syncing [and cleared some things [[like contacts]]]. I haven't had those pesky memory messages [and clearing routine] since
There is already a software update from Virgin US [about phone; software updates; check now]. I didn't download or install [its supposed to fix a security exploit [[and I'm looking for exploits]]]. Sucks there is no sim port.
Did some reading. Apparently older chipsets like the ones in the Wildfire S fail to carry some token blah blah blah. To sum up, if you want s-off for the cdma models, you are waiting for updates signed by HTC. Probably some FOTA update [resolving the token issue] then perhaps a security unlock, but the Wilfire S isn't on the supported list at htcdev.com for unlocking yet [and none of the phones listed have been unlocked] If and when there is a FOTA update, perhaps Alpharevx might take up an unlocker, but for now, its a waiting game.
UPDATE: The new way of spoofing the sim and s-off ing without xtc clip works on these phones. Read about it here. Then root with the tutorial on the development thread WORD OF WARNING: Do not go out flashing new Roms to try them out. I have flashed two so far and neither works with my phone (although they work with other Wildfire Ss).

Irony
Is it just me that has realized that the Virgin Mobile Wildfire S is one of the only versions of this phone that can do S-off w/o X-clip but (to my knowledge) cannot be rooted ?

You can S off virgin mobile and root
