Hello,
I'm new to the forums, and have only just recently got a HTC Wildfire A3333 running 2.2.1.
I have tried to use " [GUIDE] Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX (HBOOT 1.01.0001) " to downgrade the h boot as to start to gain root.
But when I have followed the instructions, it appears to complete ok, but when I reboot in to the system menu, it still shows as .002 hboot and does not install the rom supplied.
any help would be great
EDIT: IT TOLD ME I HAD SUCCESSFULLY CREATED GOLD CARD
GlennBrownie
same goes with me mate, i got the gold card and then i insert it, it all goes but when the cmd closes it still shows hboot 1.01.002
This happened to me on a Telstra wildfire (A3335). if you make it so the CMD window doesn’t close (I used an alternative shell) you will see that it actually gets some error before closing, which is why it doesn’t actually change the hboot.
I must have done it 20 times before I got it to work. I can't remember what I did differently the time I made it work, but it was something to do with which usb mode the phone was in for each step, and when I decided to change it from one mode to the other. Basically trying to make it so the phone wouldn’t say “preparing SD card” after I had made the goldcard.
Worst part was when I finally downgraded my Hboot, alphrev X still wouldn’t work for me. Continued to get the error of “Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...” and "mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000" I've since given up..
okays, thanks for the help, ill try that, but with alpharevx the problem they are tring to fix is the part where you need to restart into fastboot the second time, so in this case, ill give that a try. the thing is that im useing windows 7 enterprise, i have the hboot drivers all installed and etc, i used the intructions given to me and everyone else where you have to make the gold card. in that intruction it stated to put the sd card into the usb or sd port, the thing i did was switch my phone to mount the SD card and create it via there, i think the part where we all went wrong is unmounted it after we finished making the sd card. so try that, and with your problem i tghink you need to try and run the program in ADMIN mode (right click and run as admin) and then try and get the HBOOT drivers from Unrevoked installed. give that a try and hope it all works out
cheers
Well I managed to get step2.bat to run in a cmd so that it stayed open,
it came up with "FAILED <remote: 42 custom id check fail>".
when HTC booted in to bootloader it still showed same h.boot (.0002)
Please see attached screenshot.

my question is, when i run alpharevx, it asks me for the beta key, note that it doesnt show my device name or anything like how i did it before i downgraded, any ideas why? and does anyone have a beta key for me to use? because the one i got with my phone when i entered it in said it was incorrect, when before before i downgraded it worked perfectly fine (except the rotting part).
what Beta key, I dont recall one?
To get a new beta key just follow this link, click download and then enter your phone's SN.

Make sure you properly created a working gold card. Retry with gold card.

If it doesn’t show your device properly just reboot your phone. Basically every time the program fails it won’t show your device properly until you reboot again (This will also fix the issue where it thinks you have the wrong beta key). People suggesting to go get a new beta key have no idea. Have they not noticed that it doesn’t matter which HBoot version you select on the site you still get the same key based on your serial number.
yes, i used mt wildfire SN and i use the code it gives me still getting the same problem,

done it twice and it still come up with success message?
even did it through hex editor....
I tried to do it again to show screenshots.
firstly, I ran step one and it says "cannot stat" followed by file name and says "no such file or directory". see image1.jpg
I then checked the buzzdowngrade folder, and all files are there. see image4.jpg
I then attempted the goldcard, and I clicked get cid, and it loaded a CID with a lot of 0's in it so I dont think its showing correct CID, possibly hiding real CID?
image2.jpg
when I clicked patch MMC, it came up with an error message. see image3.jpg
Have you installed the HTC driver 3.0.0.007. If not, install it first before even going with step1.
And regarding step2, creating a working gold card is important. If you still get custom id errors, try with a different memory card. And run the gold card tool as administrator. And in that you will see mmc0 and mmc1 options. Try creating with the other if one fails.

Just downgraded and i think i know what is the problem.
You have to change the connection status from charge only to Mass storage
then click refresh and the memory card will be available.
HTC MMC : select you sd card.
And now patch.
right, got an update.
managed to succeed with the dmisc.img and others that failed - thanks to Mattyyey, cheers Matt
We then got to flashing the rom and it failed, any suggestions?
we recreated the gold card and formated the microSD card and patched and it told us that it had succeeded.
please see screenshot.

its probably your fake SD card! I was able to run the commands in step 1 and 2 from the cmd, all but the final ROM flash. I think after we create it we should confirm its been put on the SD card via hex workshop.... I did think of this last night but I was getting tired and you dont have it installed. I suspect its just the goldcard isn't done, everything else works when typed manually into cmd.
Unless anyone else has another reason for the custom ID check failing?
MATTYYEY was correct, it was due to fake microSD card, completed gold card with authentic SD card and it worked.

Hey,
I just updated to the 1.21... generic stock rom and since im on orange its network locked the phone. Ive looked around and it seems that flashing an older radio will sort this problem out. So i have the older radio but when i try to connect to the phone using the recovery-windows.bat file, it keeps saying "error: device not found"
I can confirm i HAVE installed the USB driver via the android sdk and rebooted my computer. The device is not rooted though
Is the lack of root the issue here or should it still be able to connect?
Thanks for your help

Yep, you definately need root access to update your Radio version.
but will not having root stop the recovery-windows.bat file even recognising the phones attached to the pc?
Yes but this is also happening because you have not yet created a Gold Card, which will unlock your CID and Device ID. Create the Gold Card first and then root your phone.

The Gold Card is needed because you have a branded phone.

Yes, that is precisely what you must do. Not only do you need to create a Gold Card because of your branded handset, but you also have to root it to have write access to the system partition. Once you do this, you will then be able to flash any compatible ROMs with problems.
argh, this is being a nightmare...i have redone the goldcard and am trying to do the root, but when i type the (linux) command cd /mnt/cdrom/root it says "cant cd to /mnt/cdrom/root
when i do a ls of the directory it says the folders there are boot and desire
please help, its unusable unless i can root this and get the new radio in there

To root, try this guide instead, it's pretty straightforward:
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/05/how-to-root-your-htc-desire/
You flash the Radio zip file via Recovery the same way you would do when flashing a ROM.
ok, it turns out the usb lead just wasnt being consistantly connected for some reason. Ive managed to sort this out and managed to flash the new rom. However, now i have a new problem but i will put this as a new post as its different to what ive written before in this thread
I'm attempting to root my HTC Desire, but having some problems.
I am following the guide here: theunlockr .com /2010/06/07/how-to-root-the-htc-desire/ but I haven't made a goldcard because my device is unbranded. Perhaps this is where I went wrong?
Everything seemed to be going fine until: 7. Now on the computer double click the “step2-windows.bat” file and wait for it to finish.
The command prompt flashes briefly, but I took a screenshot and the error was 'device not found'
I'm really not sure what to do at this point..
Thanks!

Have you got HTC Sync installed? This is not a goldcard error as that would be Custom ID Error
Did step 1 complete correctly?
There is no step 2 anymore on modaco's method
try following this guide as it is the original post by Paul and all others are just copy/paste's (or bad rewritten) guides
I do have HTC Sync installed, yes.
Step1 did appear to complete correctly, but at one point I spotted the word FAILED in command prompt, but they everything continued apparently at normal.
My phone is currently at the recovery screen with the ! is it safe to pull the battery? It isn't responding to the power button.
The FAILED error was something like.. 42 device id check fail
Yeah if you are at the red triangle then you can pull the battery..
I'd use the guide on modaco. It's foolproof and very easy to follow.
Yes, it's safe to pull out battery.
I had the same problem with step 2, then I've found out the modaco method without step 2, and it worked out fine.
I would do the rooting under Linux!I had enough trouble with it under windows (maybe because of x64).
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
reason for "device not found" is missing drivers for bootloader mode.
believe me, its much more easier to root your device under Linux liveCD, than cheating with drivers for windows.
good luck
The riskfree method on modaco works perfectly. I unrooted by using a stock ruu earlier to remove unrevoked, and use the riskfree method to root again. It's easy and painless on win7 64bit.
I think the step one didn't complete properly for the OP anyway as he said he seen an error at that stage.
Ok, using the riskfree modaco method now. Everything fine until installing update from SD card. E: failed to verify whole-file signature. Esignature verification failed. Installation aborted.
Is this due to not using a goldcard? I tried to make one but it kept saying it the card was damaged and needed formatting each time.
Edit. also the email I get in the goldcard creation process has the subject 'Your generated G1 goldcard' I'm not sure why it says G1? but the gold card process doesn't work and says I need to format the disk for it to be usable.
In the first posts you said your device is unbranded. So why did you made a goldcard? It's not necessary
Also make sure to use the files as you can download in the Modaco thread I posted in post #5
I think I must have misunderstood what unbranded meant. Or maybe it was just a coincidence, but it worked once I used the goldcard.
The phone came from T Mobile, but lacks and T Mobile branding on the case or any T Mobile apps.
Then it's proberly branded, you can verify by the ROM version (search the forum for it). I don't think it can harm to use a goldcard with a non-branded device anyway (correct me if i'm wrong).
Also try to download the files from the Modaco forum again (and don't rename any files)
If that doesn't work, take a look at these search results. I can remember I had the same problem as you have, dunno exactly what solved it, but these search results def. helped me
Hi all,
First of all I have an Asian version Generic HTC Desire Z (Asian version but not under a provider) with the following software information:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband: 12.28e.60.140fU_26.04.02.17_M2
Kernel: 2.6.32.21-g6e170e7....
Build: 1.82.707.1 CL317545 release-keys
Software: 1.82.707.1
My CID is HTC_044
From what I read, in order to root, we have to downgrade the software version to 1.34..... , right?
SO thats what I did.
I have followed the steps to downgrade in ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261 )
and creating a goldcard ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 )
I tried both (2 different attempts) the PC10IMG.zip file and exe/RUU file, and have copied the whole zip file onto the SDCard (not in any folder), without extracting the files.
When I get to step 9-10 (phone in bootloader mode), I receive an error message like user "waqypaqy" got.
When I reboot into the bootloader, the phone scans the SD card, then I get this:
SD Checking...
Loading...[PC10DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PC10IMG.zip]
No Image!
Then after a few minutes, comes to another screen and says:
"CID incorrect! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot."
From the bootscreen, here's the info:
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT -0.85.0009
RADIO-26.04.02.17_M2
eMMC-boot
CID Incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot
Does anyone know what's wrong with this?
It'd be great if anyone could help me.
THANKS in advance =)
PS: I can't post under the "Development" forum because I'm still a newbie and doesn't have enough postcount yet.
The goldcard bypasses the CID check, so you can try looking at that first. Can you confirm that you've correctly written the image from the PSAS site to your sdcard?

Hey theSpam,
I have tried creating the goldcard before, and have received the goldcard image through the email and have updated img through HxD editor (as per the instructions). But like what I said before, it gave me that CID incorrect message.
I'm sorry this might be a stupid question, but how do I check whether I've written the image from the PSAS site? What is the PSAS site?
Thank You for your help =)
I was just asking you to doublecheck that you've correctly written goldcard.img to your sdcard. Most people have issues during this step of the goldcard creation process.
Just open up your sdcard in HxD and see if it's there
Are you using the Asian RUU to get the PC10IMG.zip file? I found this made a difference.

Oh yeah, I have followed all of the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=832503 for part 1.
I have copied the contents of goldcard.img into the removable disk image and saved the file.
Then I went back to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261, and followed the steps in that guide.
I only managed to get upto step 10.
Then it showed the error I mentioned above.
The RUU exe file I got was from here:

Oh, and will the steps I have to follow change because of this different filename?
I would also recommend going back and double-checking all those steps for creating the goldcard, because it sounds like it's not recognising a goldcard.

Hi steviewevie,
I just want to make sure whether i've followed the steps correctly or not.
Making the goldcard:
During step 4, "Enter 'adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid' and press enter. You should get a very long number copy it."
This is the number that I get: 479a002f86c320087483035535443530
Step 5 "Visit this page, paste in your number and reverse it."
When I opened the link for that step, there isn't any textfield where I can paste in my number.
So what I did was reverse the number manually into 035344535530384780023c68f200a974
Step 6. I entered the reversed number into the SD Card Serial (CID) text field.
Question: Can I reverse it manually?
Thank you mate (and to anyone who is kind enough to help) =)

As you have downgraded, you can follow the guide found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision to achieve permanent root.
Once you have ClockwordMod Recovery installed (per the above guide), you can flash Cyanogen.
As for the radio, I personally don't recommend changing anything due to the brick risk (however, many others share opposite opinions).

Hi,
I have just finished installing and flashing CM 7 + googleaps zip file.
But I found several problems:
1. Google Maps not installed
2. Calendar is missing
3. Stock email app somehow doesnt work
4. Numbers: I can only see several digits on the letters, they are 1 2 4 5 0
5. And most of all I just found out that HTC Sync does not work with CM =( (can't sync my contacts n calendar anymore through outlook 2010)
Would you have any ideas why this is happening?
THanks very much theSpam!
Same problem!!!
Hey akhoman, happy for you in rooting your desire z successfully! Man, can you give me all the steps you did (one by one)? I have tried so many ways and nothing helped, I also got the CID wrong, I tried to make the goldcard but still having that problem all the errors and information are exactly like yours...

Need to flash gapps after you flash cm Rom
Hello xda, in accordance with the signup video I have scoured the earth looking for an answer. However I'm not sure how much necro posting is frowned upon here so I thought it would be safer to just start a new thread.
I have an HTC Desire HD from Telus(for use on the Rogers network). I am in the process of rooting it but have encountered a problem. I can gain temporary root on the terminal emulator(Because the $ turns to #) however when attempting to run clockwork flash clockworkmod recovery I get the error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
I get the same error when attempting the "Fix Permissions" so I'm currently at a loss of what to do.
I have the ninja superuser icon in the apps menu however when I open it the screen is blank. I am unsure if this is how it is supposed to be or not. I have seen several references to a permission box that pops up during some of the steps but I haven't seen that at all.
I've tried four separate methods, the last of which coming from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954997
I am currently at step B.d which involves running the S-OFF tool and Easy Radio OFF tool. But still clockwork will not flash a backup, and when I restart the phone I can not get super user to work on the terminal (ie by typing su) and must use the rage method to regain temporary root.
Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but when I restart the phone and attempt to boot in recovery mode, the volume buttons don't allow me to select other options, and instead the phone just forces me to reboot normally.
Some more facts:
model HTC Desire HD A9191
Build # 1.32.405.6
Android 2.2
Anymore info I'm probably forgetting just ask away!
So my question is: Can anyone identify what the issue is?
Thanks much for taking the time to read my question.

I've seen that alot of success has been gained by doing temp root and perm root through it?
It does sound like the rage method might not be working for you from what I can tell..
I do want to check all the steps you followed before where fine?

Visionary was how I rooted mine. Worth a try if you havent tried it: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/320350/19-nov-r14-visionary-one-click-root/
Thanks for the visionary suggestion, but Visionary still isn't working :/
Has visionary been tested with the Telus Desire? I heard there was a difference. What happens when I attempt to temproot is it moves to a blank screen then goes back to the menu.
When I used visionary on 1.32 it did not always work first try ... generally always worked after 2 runs. then used it to perm root
It works. You do not have Telus software in your phone anymore.

Try my method (I made it because the methods I found for my Telus desire HD were flaky at best and only got temproots from it.)
Since you already flashed to 1.32 start at step 2
If you want to go gingerbread, dl the 2.36.405 ruu and use that and your pc to put 2.3.3 on it (dont worry, it works fine, i was using it since it came out and built a rom based off that, kingdom, and pyramid roms for my own sense 3 rom) and use the gingerbreak method.

Still haven't managed to get root. JSLEnterprises my antivirus won't let me download your file :/
I'm at a loss for what to do.

Disable your Antivirus (Avast say's its malicious), Norton or F-Prot says its clean.
and Internet Explorer 9 says its not trustworthy (because there's .bat files in the zip), Firefox says its fine.
There is no malicious code in the zip, you can edit each individual batch file in the Resource folder to see the code. Its very simple and basic.
I disabled my antivirus, but when I run Install Visionary nothing happens. The CMD window opens and says it has been succesfuly installed but nothing has been installed, and nothing appeared in the app menu.
Edit: I went into the resource folder and then followed the steps from there and everything worked, except I still don't have the # symbol in terminal (even when entering "su") and ROM manager still gives me the same error.

go into the resource folder, edit the visionary install batch in notepad, delete the "cls" line, save and exit
rerun it with the phone attached. See if it truly installed successfully.

you dont need to use the termial in my method.
Once visionary is installed, and you run it, and everything is done exactly whats described in my 9 easy steps thread (along with outcomes along the way), then you should be perm rooted, with s-off and eng-off with supercid.
I managed to install visionary with your method, however when running Eng-S I encountered the error "Bootloader corrupt, DO NOT REBOOT! Seek help from XDA!"
Help?
Edit: Followed the advice here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14936635 and s-off worked properly this time. Hopefully my DHD won't brick on reboot. Could super user be the problem? it never asks me for permissions or anything, all I have is an icon and a blank screen when i open the app.
Edit2: Rom manager took three attempts to install correctly. Still the same result "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

looks like the superuser application isnt running properly.
I would use the 1.32 ruu (not the pd98img.zip off the sd) and then from a fresh install (without resoring any data other than google account to visit the market)
run through the visionary, s-off tool, eng-off tool, and then reboot again, then install rom manager from the market, run it, it should ask you for permission and may hang for a second, and then say you have about 5 seconds to allow root permissions.
Then install rom's away. if you're not into making seperate rom specific app folders on your sd card, google JSL Er3BuS. its a sense 3 rom without the extra scripts.
How do I install the 1.32 RUU if I can't install it from the SD card?
Thanks!

It is very easy mate,
1. Download the RUU of your choice from http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Ace
2. Put your phone in charge mode only with USB debug on.
3. Make sure you have HTC Sync installed on your PC, and close HTC Sync application from your system bar in windows (make sure that HTC Sync is not running as all you need is the driver)
4. Right click on the RUU file and select "Run as Administrator"
5. Connect your DHD by the USB cable to your PC.
6. Click some boxed and "next"s.
7. Waiting!
8. Profit!
I tried following the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841890
But got the error "ERROR [120]: Low MAIN BATTERY POWER. When the battery is above 30%.
This is getting ridiculous lol
I'm sorry I'm such a bother.

Tried this, now the update process has taken 45 minutes.
Well, it took 5 hours to finish, but finish it finally did. Rom manager installed no problem, flashed no problem and I am in the process of installing cryogen. Thanks everyone for their help and kind words.
Fingers crossed cryogen works.
I'm going away for the weekend, but when I come back I'll update this thread with the full details of what went down so hopefully someone will be helped by my many many hours spent raging.

Hello,
I changed digitizer becouse the old one has been broken. The new one doesn't work well. Im trying to fix that problem by using the gold card with PG76DIAG.nbh file, but Wildfire S is giving me messages like:
Parsing PG76DIAG.nbh
[1 MFG DIAG]
Security Fail!
Update Fail!
Press <Power> to reboot.
What is a reason of that?

Because you still have a LOCKED BOOTLOADER...try to unlock it first
Thx, but i try that with and without locked bootloader and the same result..
Maybe my hboot version would be the reason, i have 1.09.0099...
I try to downgrade but i can't.
Have you made a goldcard? Because it wont work without it
Yes,
i make the process with a goldcard in, right now im trying to do another Goldcard with another "better" sd card...,
