Hi,
Is it safe to root the HTC Wildfire with unrevoked?
Because I read on a few forums that people had problems with unrevoked and it bricked the phones for 3/4 people.
If it isn't safe to use, is there another way to root the phone (a safer way).
And don't explain it to hard because it's my first phone I will be rooting
Thanks!
Do you have official 2.2 (froyo)?

If you have updated to official 2.2 you need to downgrade the hboot to root it and yes, you lose the guarantee.

Rooting isn't that bad at all man, just make sure to follow the instructions, and make sure, whatever you do - if you're updating your radio, never install the same file twice!
Hope this helps!
Let us know how it goes.
So after I get the drivers set up on the computer, do I just run Unrevoked?
Hi, I have just bought a second hand Wildfire and loving it but I need some questions answering.
1. What is S-off and what are its advantages?
2. What version of z4root will root this device as it says it is compatible but 1.30 just closes on aquiring root shell?
Don't be scared to be technical as I am computer literate and will understand. Thanks in advance.
go here The Complete Wildfire Index and you will find all the answers, and you dont need z4root ;]

Ahh, thank you sir.
Edit: unfortunately I don't have pc access yet as I am on holiday. so about this z4root method?
it doesnt work,if your hboot is 0.8.. you can only root it if dont want s-off, but if its 1.0.. you have to s-off in order to root, i dont thing theres an app than can root the wildfire(havent tests one myself) but you can search, basically you need pc ;]
I see. Doing the pc method will I have to downgrade my hboot to 0.8 if it is higher?

Just got a new replacement phone today and can't wait to root it! Is there a (big) difference between the different ones?
I'm looking for something that would be relatively easy to root/unroot if needed.
Depends:
Gingerbread > use revolutionary > revolutionary.io
Froyo > use unrevoked > unrevoked.com
I have the newest version. I believe its 2.3.3 Does that help?

That's gingerbread, so go to revolutionary.io . All the instructions/files you need are there.
Hmm.. mind if I ask why revolutionary.io is better than revolutionary, and why they're better than other methods?

2.3.3 gingerbread is only rootable through revolutionary and revolutionary.io is the website you go to root 2.3.3

Not that its better, but revolutionary works only on gingerbread, and unrevoked is for froyo.

revolutionary.io is the website where you download the revolutionary software. As far as which is better for your situation, you're only option is the revolutionary software. When the evo 4g got its update to gingerbread, they locked down the phone and all previous ways of rooting. it took a few months but the revolutionary team figured out a way around it.
if you need instructions on how to root, pm me and ill be happy to help
