So I used nejc121's guide to rooting Wildfire. AlphaRevX went smooth, but I'm stuck at the 5th step: after I pressed "install zip from sdcard" it showed the logo of ROM Manager/CWM (the hat..) and it has been that way for over 10 minutes, nothing happened so far.. What to do? turn it off?
EDIT: My mistake, I pressed the power button instead the trackpad...
Use the Trackball to select "Install Zip from SDCard". Not the Power Button. Within Clockworkmod Recovery, the Power key is used as a "Back" button.
EDIT:, Sorry, didn't see your edit. Ignore this post.

I just read an article on Engadget about the option to manually upgrade to Froyo. They give instructions on how to do it, but I tried it on my non-rooted EVO and got lost. Can anyone explain to me, in detail, exactly how to do this manual update? Explain as if you're talking to a six-year-old because I know nothing about the inner workings of my phone.

1.download the file. 2. rename that file to update. 3.put the file you just named update on the sdcard(not in any folder, just open the sdcard and put it there) 4.shut the phone off. 5.push the volume button up ( like your making it louder) while holding the button push and hold the power button. 6.this will bring you to a white screen with some options. 7. use your volume up and down buttons to select bootloader from the list. 8.once you select it(highlight) push the power button. 9. you will be at a new screen, select/highlight the recovery option and push the power button again. 10. now you should be in recovery mode. 11. select flash .zip from sdcard or it may say apply update zip and then push the power button.at the bottom of the screen it should say push power button to install or any other button to abort. 12. push power button and watch the install. it's going to reboot a few times so just set the phone down and walk away.

Hi im running rooted (by unrevoked method) stock sense froyo version 2.09 on my telus desire and im trying to install 2.10 (software not eclair) but when i download the software from software update it will not install. ive tried changing signature verification in clockwork but that doesnt work. I found this work around, would this work and its fine if i lose my root:
On your Phone
open Astro and go to "download" folder
long-press and select "edit"
press "move"
press back button
press "edit" from the top menu bar
press "paste"
long press the file
press "edit", then press "rename"
rename to update.zip then press OK
Installation
power off phone
hold "volume down" and turn on phone
A screen should appear showing your phone's system searching for various files. Scroll down to “recovery” using the volume down button and press the “Power” button
When you see the triangle with an exclamation point symbol, press the “Power” and “Volume Up” buttons at the same time. This may take a few attempts
From the menu that appears, use the trackball to select "Apply sdcard:update.zip." Press down on the trackball to start.
When the screen displays "Install from sdcard complete" use trackball to select "reboot system now" and wait for the phone to power back up.
btw my baseband is 32.44.00.32U_509.05.30_2
and my kernel version is 2.6.32.15-gfc0527
Anyone?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
This didnt work for me, i still get:
assert failed: apply_patch_check(" /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk", ./......)
E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
any workaround for this?
ugh i hope soo, theres got to be some way to install official software updates after root
Yes, flashing the OTA updates WILL lose root. But you can just root again once done
the problem is the ota wont install tho...
Hi,
I just rooted my Desire Z and installed Virtuous Sense ROM but I don't know how to get into recovery mode beside using ROM Manager to do that.
I pushed volume down and power at the same time and it gets into a screen with three little androids below the screen and I see there are some options with the selected on highlighted in blue (is this correct?) but I cannot use volume up/down to change the option, I press power button and it get to HBOOT asking me to update PC101MG.zip again... and I can use volume down to cancel this update and power button to reboot again.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks.
Go to the root folder of your SD card and remove the PC101MG.zip file. Once you do that it shouldn't prompt you to update PC101MG.zip again. Then you can select recovery by pressing the volume button.
Sound like you flashed a radio but forgot to remove it from what i understand from your post.

If it has clockworkmod than it should work like this
Using Clockwork Recovery console
Disconnect the USB cable and reboot the phone into HBOOT mode (power off, then hold volume down key and press-hold power on key).
HBOOT will scan for the ESPRIMG.zip file (and some others), then present you with 4 options: Fastboot, Recovery, Simlock and Clear Storage.
Press volume down key to select Recovery, and press power key to apply.
This will take you to a screen with a black background, a picture of a phone and a big red exclamation mark.
Press and hold the Volume Up key, then whilst still holding Volume Up, press the Power key. This will take you to a secret yellow menu with a few options (you may also get an error like E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command, it's ok to ignore this one).
Press Volume Down to scroll the list and highlight Apply sdcard:update.zip. Press the Power button to activate.
This will flash the update.zip file we copied to the root of the memory card, which activates a custom tool called the Clockwork Recovery. Clockwork lets us do many things, including making full phone backups, and installing unsigned ROM images. Clockwork gets wiped every time you reset the phone. So to use it, you must always reboot into HBOOT mode, choose Recovery, activate the hidden menu and apply the update.zip as above. You will be doing this multiple times, so get used to it.
If that doesn't work than you need to put http://dl.dropbox.com/u/642364/slideroot/update.zip that in your sd card
After you flash Clockwork Recovery for the first time, you should download Rom Manager, and in it will have an option that says "Reboot into Recovery", and once you select that, it will take you directly to Clockwork, so no more constant reflashing

but i make an mistake in this step >>
[1.3] Installing Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0
(Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0 zip and Gapps zip files required)
You will need to download Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0 and Gapps. Put these on your MicroSD card. Now you need to boot into 2nd init recovery. Do this by turning on your phone and pressing the Volume down button when you see the blue status LED light.
Once inside, use the volume up and down buttons to navigate, and the power button to select. Firstly, you can backup here by going to "Backup and restore" and selecting "Backup (all)". Then "go back" to the main menu and select "Wipe data/factory reset". Once this is successful, select "Wipe cache partition". Now you select "Install zip from sdcard" and install Cyanogen first by selecting the file. After this, install Gapps.
Your phone should now start with a red Motorola icon with a wasp stating cyanogen defy 7.1-11 with the LEDs flashing blue and then green before displaying a blue cyanogen mod logo with the swirling animation. This will then lead into setup, meaning your install was successful!
[Note: CM 7.1.0 comes with the latest version of 2nd init recovery]
[1.4] Soft unlocking your Defy
(bp_ptc file and Root Browser Lite required)
Firstly, you will want to backup your system again. To do this, turn off your phone and when it's on the first Motorola logo, press Volume down when the blue LED light flashes. Then select "Backup and restore" and select "Backup (all)".
Then boot back normally and download the bp_unlock file and extract the file and copy the file "bp_ptc" to your MicroSD card and ignore all the other folders and files. Now search for Root Browser Lite in the Market and open it and enable the root features when it asks by pressing "Yes" and allow SuperUser access. Press the Home button on the top left and select "SD card" and look for bp_ptc and highlight it by holding your finger on it and selecting "Copy". Now press on the Home button again at the top and select "Home" and scroll down to system > bin and press "Paste". Now go back to the previous parent folder by pressing the green arrow and select bootmenu > 2nd-init.
Here, look for the file init.mapphone_umts.rc and long press on it and select "Open in text editor" Scroll down until you get to "service usbd /system/bin/usbd" (about 10 medium flicks) and just after it, enter "service bp-ptc /system/bin/bp.ptc user root group root user root" on a line underneath it. Now press the "Save" button.
Bro i Reboot phone and in boot i Choose to install from SDcard with Gapps.zip AND when i see only logo in device, can you see in youtube video.
I hope to have understood
Download one of the latest CM7 nightlys, put out on your sd, go to custom recovery (vol down on let...). There, wipe data/cache and flash the zip. Reboot (if you get stuck for more than 10 min on the turning boot logo, press both volume buttons + power = hot reboot). If you can't boot the second time, just tell. Normally you don't have to do anything to softunlock in CM7.

I followed the inscrutions to soft unlock my defy, but there are a couple of typos in the post on hotukdeals (. instead of _ in the file name):
you need to edit the file to look like this:
service usbd /system/bin/usbd
user root
service bp-ptc /system/bin/bp_ptc
user root
group root
service nvm-daemon /system/bin/nvm_daemon
user root
group radio
Thanks
thank you very much my problem is solved
but I have a question
how tu unlock all networks
Thanks labsin
Have you installed a recent nightly? I thought you didn't have to do anything else. I could be wrong (don't have a locket one).
Please post if it works/doesn't work our you have a question.
