Hey guys, I'm getting wildfire with Vodafone branding.
If I flashed a custom Rom, would it unbrand it, or would I have to use a goldcard method?

Custom ROMs will debrand it. But, you will probably have to debrand it anyway using a Goldcard, because AlphaRev X is not working on all branded Wildfire's bootloaders.
How would I make one?

Follow this guide, it will install a generic unbranded WWE ROM, as well as prepare your device for use with AlphaRev X, should you go for it:

Thanks, its gotta be rooted first to do the debranding, is there any way of doing this easy.

Tried to flash newest stock 2.29 many times but gets same error about can't open bad.......

You need a gold card if your phone was branded when you got it
Ok forgot the detAils.
I have an Orange unlocked phone, means I use whatever sim I want. It was ota froyo updated.
I rooted using unrevoked3, so I can get rid of Orange crap, thus the stock rooted froyo ROM from xda was used. But when I try newest WWE stock froyo 2.29 I get this error.
So how come this unmoded stock from xda works without goldcard?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
You can't, you need a gold card to change to ANY RUU other than the Orange one
Ok ill look into goldcard but why the stock rooted Rom workd from xda.
If I use goldcard OTA will work ? or I need to use goldcard everytime

Because it's a custom ROM, if you want to go to a stock WWE ROM you need a gold card. The OTA might work, you'll need to turn off signature checking in Clockwork Mod, but it likely cause issues
Ok thanks I'm mAking a custom Rom as stock possible now, or will try.

Digging up an year old thread isn't that useful. The user might have unlocked the device or Ditched it by this time...

There is no free solution yet, you need to pay for an unlock code
Flashing a WWE RUU will unlock your mobile device for any network... For bootloader unlock use revolutionary...

Sorry but this isn't correct. You can't unlock it by flashing a Ruu. I you need to buy unlock code or use a xtc clip at present.

I had my Wildfire unlocked using revolutionary method... Previously I was locked to Orange UK.. I just flashed the RUU (Asia India) from shipped roms first; then I used the revolutionary tool - AlphaRevX.... Only issue I had was no mobile network.. I flashed the latest radio img for wildfire using fastboot... I never bought or used an unlock code from anyone...

Are you sure it was locked in the first place?
The cid is hidden away in a partition we can't get to, I don't think revolutionary changes the cid because if it did the alpharev team would know about it and it would have been mentioned before, an ruu flashes original software which is also most probably locked as the carriers would complain to google for making such a simple way to unlock there phones.

Yup I'm damn sure Myhtc was locked... I tried using other operator's sim cards..

Before i start to root my phone, i would like to make a stock orange ruu. How does one go about doing this.
See if any of these ROMs are correct for you. http://www.shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
You don't make a RUU. That is a a factory signed ROM.
Had a look their. I'm looking for an ORANGE Branded ruu. Not sure if any are??
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Ok so can I make a factory signed Rom from the phone I have??
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
So Orange would of been sent a RUU from I guess HTC and then they would just add there branding to that RUU??

Could this operation "erase" root and s-off too?
Thanks!
You will lose root and your custom recovery as this will set everything to stock, but you will still be S-OFF and it will be easy to root again

But it's not working. I tried it on my Desire HD (with ARHD 7.0.4) and I got error.

Have you tried what happens what happens if you press recover? And is your phone a telus desire HD or was it branded when you first got it?
And make sure it's on charge only mode when you connect it to your computer.

I have not tried to press recover. Yes, the phone was branded and it was Vodafone. Now I'am using ARHD 6.3.3 (because 7.0.4 is not stable and buggy). Kernel 2.6.35.14, baseband 12.65.60.29U_26.14.04.28_M, build number 3.12.405.1.
Well that could be the problem. you need the ruu for branded Vodafone, but you should be able to run that ruu if you got a goldcard.
Do you have a goldcard?

I don't know, maybe. When I bought it, it was sim free, unlocked.

Um do you want to keep S-OFF or do you want S-ON? And do you want to root it or do a completely unroot?
Edit: you can root it with superoneclick if you already S-OFF.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
go to boot loader and find out if it is s-off or not. depending on what you find, and what unlock method you used, go to that unlock thread, and relock it again.
I used ahhk and yes it is s off I want to s on
