allright..
I tried rooting my sister's Wildfire today and I've been trying for hours with no luck..
I followed Turkeys' Ultimate Guide to Root Wildfire EXACTLY as stated (I am not a total noob since I managed to do almost exactly the same procedure with my Desire WITHOUT ANY FAILURE..) but this little smartphone seems to outsmart me here.. >_<
first the specs:
hboot is 001 at the end
it's a A3333 Wildfire
already debranded
running stock Android 2.2.1
software version 2.22.405.1
I managed to install the modified usb drivers through hboot, all went exactly as planned, rebooted the PC, did everything by the books...
then I started unrevoked and it
boots into hboot
then reboots
then reboots again and says "waiting for root - safe to restart...)
after the phone is booted up it is lagging as hell
but does nothing if I wait
when I restart the phone unrevoked tells me "couldn't get root - happens sometimes - try again"
and I tried like 20 times but I can't get it to work..
can please anyone help me?
thank you guys so much for any help..
peace
EDIT (!!!)
ok, I get it.. I'm stupid for not reading through this.. I just got so frustrated with it not working..
anyways, I'm gonna try to S-Off this thing.. is there any way to install a ROM - IF I succeed with S-Off - from there?
EDIT 2 (!!!)
yeeeeeesssssss! FINALLY at least SOME progress..
S-Off now (which seemed far too easy but it is off..
so, now what? is there any way to get to root from this or a ROM?
thanks for any advise..

Hi all,
I have managed to downgrade from android 2.2 to 2.1update1, and bootloader .92 down to .80.
However I still am not able to root this phone, I have tried many different methods and am now at a loss as i don't know what i am doing wrong...?!
When running unrevoked 3.14 the process seems to go thru ok until the message appears waiting for phone to reboot, then i get the error attached...
"communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. try again"
Drivers are installed as pictured in the attached as well.
any help would be great... please don't tell me to go an read the forums I have spent days doing this and have been unsuccessful...
Cheers

The simplest way: get a RUU, reflash, get unrevoked 3.21, root again. Works got most cases.

Hi,
I red a lot about these problem, but non of the posts helped me!
I had the latest version of the frimware. I read/write in hebrew so the RTL problem was really annoying! so i decided to root my phone and install rom that has RTL fix.
I did downgrade and i rooted my phone, but i cant get rid off the the radio (s-on).
I rooted with visionary+, but when i open the "easy radio tool", and i press on "do it", it stuck at the end. i waited one hour, and i know that it used to take 20 sec.
I tried other computer, i did factory reset, i even made gold card... nothing. still stuck. i tried to do h-boot with terminal emulator, after i press su its ok, with the #, but the next it says "cant open sdcard/dhd/check". i tried different sdcard but it doesnt matter.
Now i have android version 2.2, kernel 2.6.32.21 and software 1.32.405.6.
Please tell me what i do wrong, i spent 10 hours for nothing!!
Thank you very much!

did you downgrade 1st
like in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003
how did you get root only with Visionary since visionary doesn't work since 1.72
and if you are really S-OFF (you should see it in the HBOOt menu ...when you restart press Power button and volume down and hold them....), the, instal the latest HTC sync , just to have the latest adb drivers, and take care...when you us Easy radio tool to keep the phone screen on, and on the main window...cause a SUPER USER window is gonna appear to ask for Super user permission ...of course you press YES
Hi
Tank you very much for the answer.
Yes, i did downgrade exactualy like in the post (i had Gingerbread , i didnt have to do the froyo-section 2a right? :/ )
After that i did root with visionary that is very simple after i downgrade to 1.32.
I didnt finish the radio tool, but i had the superuser permission and i pressed "yes".
Doesnt work.
Any other ideas?

did you chech in hboot menu if you have ENG S-OFF like i said ???

OMG i think o missed a step
you did root with Visionary but you didn't ENGS-OFF (i guess)
did you followed this guide???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403
if not..
DO IT and after that RADIO S-OFF should work
but 1st ENG S-OFF
hi
I checked, its still s-on...
I have the last htc sync.
I understood that it doesnt matter what you do first, but i will try.
i tried the eng s-off but i have the same problem, it stuck in the middle, when it says "verifying and disabling write protection". there is not any error message like the easy radio tool, it just stuck, no matter how long i wait.

Something, somewhere u do something wrong ....it works for everybody.
eng s/off worked np for me but I kept getting stuck at radio.
in the end i plugged the device into another usb port on my computer and it simply worked.
Ok i did it!!!! With the terminal emulator. It was much easier and worked!! Anyway, thanx everybody for the help!

Hey, I have a problem with my HTC wildfire after i tried rooting it.
I used this tutorial ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ) while trying to root my phone.
After downgrading my phone from froyo 2.2.1 to eclair 2.1 with the RUU, my phone rebooted like it was supposed to do but now the touchscreen on my phone will not work at all. I have no idea of how to fix this and i was wondering if anybody could help me out? thanks in advance

If your read my thread you already have the answer.
I had exactly the same problem and i was in panic. This is what i did. Started the phone as usual. And because no touch i couldn´t get pass pincode for sim. At that point i connected the phone to my pc and tried a different RUU. Google it and you find it
""RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3. 35.19.25_release_151892_signed"
Probably it won´t work first try but have the phone connected to the computer while you restart your pc, open RUU file again and finally it will work. The phone rebooted with 2.1 eclair and touch working! =) Then rooting was a peace of cake after that! I have now cm7
thanks so much i was getting worried when i realised the touchscreen wouldnt work at all ..I tried searching for the answer but i didnt seem to find it so i decided to put up a thread :L

Unrevoked 3 program gets stuck at "Waiting for root...”
I have been trying to root my device for last 3 days .I have done enough research and gone through various forms .
Following the guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ) successfully got my device S-OFF using Revolutionary .
In step 2 : according to guide downloaded and tried
“RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3 .35.15.31_release_130814_signed_2”
Got stucked with non-working touchscreen.
Again downloaded and tried “RUU_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1_Radio_13.5 5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_161113_signed”
Now touchscreen is working but it is showing android 2.2.1 again .So what's the point of downgrading ?
Run Unrevoked and it is unable to gaining root.
It shows :
Running preboot seq….
Waiting for reboot…..
Running root…
Waiting for root…..( I have waited for 20 mints but it keeps saying this)
[ USB debugging is enabled
Usb drivers are installed
Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. ]
After all this mind boggling i have reached here :
Android 2.2.1
Revolutionary
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
MI CROP-0622
RADIO 3.35.20.10
Should I use different version of unrevoked ? 3.31 ? here..( http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/20/how...evoked-method/ )
But again in guide “androidybloidy” says in step 3 :”Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error
"Validation error, backup CID is missing".”
What to do now ? Do I need to downgrade to 2.1 éclair to use revoked ? Do I need to download Éclair RUU for India ? If “yes” where can I get the download link ? Some forums say I don’t need to if I have already got S-OFF.I am totally lost.
Now I feel like tearing my hair out.
Any ideas ? How can get around it?
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.
I wanted to try the method suggested by “3xeno” on #83
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06...-tutorial.html
but under “clockwork recovery” the link to “fastboot tool “ redirects to http://htcdev.com/ and there is no tool like “fastboot tool” on that page.Again the download link to “recovery for wildfire”in step 4 is broken.
What should I do ?
Should I follow this ? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1130044
Is there a way out ?
feel like throwing my HTC out the window:confused:
SOLVED
Finally installed ClockworkMod recovery and Rooted the device.
are you trying to put a custom rom on the phone or just root it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15 follow this guide to put a custom recovery on it, follow method 2.
now, if your going to flash a custom rom just do this from your new recovery and your new rom will have been pre rooted. (well, it should be ) if not then im pretty sure that there is a flashable superuser zip that will give you root once you`ve s-offed but i cant remember where i saw it but i think tht would be youe best bet without having to downgrade again.
how did you make it work cause im having the same problem
yeah if you said its working how did you make it work :was it using the non-test version or did u try something else
If you want to de-brand (downgrade Hboot from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001), root or flash I have a comprehensive guide to do that
It's in my sig
Hey dude,
How did u finally resolve that?
I'm stuck at "waiting for root" .
HTC wildfire.
Thanks in advance!
I´ve used the unrevoked 3.32 and it worked perfectly.... Maybe you should give a try.

EDIT SOLVED
EDIT: I've tried following in few days..
1. Revolutionary
2. htcsupertoolv2..going to try v3 today
3. HTCDEV.com.. unlock bootloader...it says I need to upgade my hboot by checking for the updates in settings.about phone.software updates..... I did but no update was there... BTW i'm already on 2.3.3GB
4. adb is again and again saying errors...
BUT my phone is working well with stock GB2.3.3
Here is the thread where I posted the Camera Problem
one more thing.. HTC sync is not recognizing the phone..now,,but revolutionary and htcsupertool is recognizing
Please take a look and if possible guide me....
: I rooted my desire 3 months ago....
: A month back my phone got USB Brick..while I was using 4ext recovery.....Before I was using CWM2.5
: I did USB unbrick and installed RMD recovery.........
: All was good untill I reinstalled 4ext recovery touch for Flashing Runnymede AiO with touch installer which was necessary for touch drivers..
: Then a few days back I got USB brick again and this time it was worse... my phone was not getting wake from sleep everytime after putting sleep..
: It gone worse time by time and my desire stopped functioning properly ...means it was not booting
: after no. of trials of booting...I finally got it booted with MildWild and revolution3.0..but it was taking approximate 10mins on every reboot
: runnymede was not booting still
: After 1 day it was all good..I don't know how..but I reinstalled RMD recovery..may be that's why
After all this... when I thought everything is OK I suddenly got a new and BIG problem..
My desire's Flashlight and Proximity sensor was not working(Still not working)..and 5MP camera is at 800ISO is taking images worse then a normal VGA camera...(Still
same)
To Check weather it is the software or hardware problem .. I did S-ON...by 1. Downgrading hboot followed by flashing the htc desire Ginger Bread 2.3.3 update(I updated my desire when the
update was launched too...after upgrading to 2.3.3 I rooted my desire by revolutionary pre0.4)
Now I am S-ON and The problem of Senso, flashlight, camera is still there... I think It is a Hardware Problem which can only be solved by taking my phone to HTC
service Center...Which I don't want to because they will take my phone for weeks...and I can live with a bad camera.. as I don't take pictures usually...
And I want to S-OFF again..
So here is what I did step by step..
1. Updated HTC sync
2. Connected my phone
3. Checked for recognization
4. Uninstalled HTC sync
5. Disconnected and then connected desire with USB
6. Started revolutionay pre0.4
7. It says device found ..enter beta key
8. I entered beta key...accepeted
9. It says thank you for participating
10. That's it... I waited for 10mins...Nothing Happened
11. I retried the process fom step 1 to 8
12. Now it says the same but...also
13. In second line says..."zerging root....please wait"
14. Then I waited again for half an hour....
15. Nothing Happened..
16. But when I disconnected my device..it said "conncetion to the device interrupted unexpectedly"
17. Then I thought it may take more then half an hour....
18. I retried for approx 45mins...
19. Same happened..
20. I asked many people for the problem....one of them suggested your name..
21. I am writing this to you hoping a Solution..
Thanks in advance for reading this long problem

you need to have a goldcard and if you don't care about warranty use WWE RUU 2.29.405, I'm using that to restore any problems... then when you are on 0.93 hboot use good old alpharev way
