Hi, I have a S-Off'd Wildfire (done with XTC-Clip) in version 2.2.1 and I asked a user from this forum how could I root. He answered me with this message:
Code:
hi poinu glad you managed S-off now you can put on any rom you want.
first you must get a custom recovery on your machine I use ClockworkMod 3.0.0.6
this should be fine to flash cyanogenmod7.
here is the file to it (http ://www . mediafire . com /?i09yp4r7odhlzws)
put this PC49IMG.zip on the root of your sd card. (not in a folder)
put the cyanogenmod update zip also on your sd card.
Reboot your phone into Hboot Mode by pressing Volume Down and Power.
It will now ask if you want to update the firmware select Volume Up for Yes.
wenn its done remove thePC49IMG.zip from your sd card.
Reboot your phone into Hboot Mode again.
it will look for the PC49IMG.zip again let that finish and ignore.
Then go with volume down to recovery and push power button, clockwordmod will start.
Do a wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset and under advanced wipe Dalvik cache.
go to install zip from sdcard / choose zip from sd card and choose your cyanogen mod update zip and install.
reboot wen finished don't worry if it takes some time first reboot always is slower.
hope i helped you enjoy your mod.
kind regards ab65
I've downloaded the PC49IMG.zip file and copied at the root next to the cm7.zip file (picture: http : //i55 . tinypic . com/ egai5s. png) but when I enter the HBOOT and looks for the PC49IMG.zip file, it finds nothing (and yes, the file is PC49IMG.zip not PC49IMG.zip.zip, I've already checked this )
I don`t know what I have done wrong (I have done nearly anything!) any ideas?
Thank you very much for having a look on the threat
here is what i suggest simply,
***** Ur memory card must be formatted with fat32 partition before doing this.......
go to this link and download the attached file at the bottom PC49IMG.ZIP
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15
Since security flag is turned of (by xtc clip) , the recovery partition is no longer protected. U can install custom recovery without any exploits. That downloaded PC49IMG.ZIP file is nothing but "ClockworkMod Custom Recovery". Put it in the root of the memory card (fat32). Then go to hboot menu. It definately finds the file and prompts u to install. Go with it. At the end u will have custom recovery.
then u can install custom roms. Custom roms will be packed in zip files and can be installed from recovery menu. Its not needed to put the custom rom zip file only in the root of memory card. And the most important thing is, remember to clear data/factory reset and clear cache (both done frm recovery menu) before installing a custom rom. Thats all
Oh god, i didn`t know that.... succesfully done
but now... there's another problem, I installed the CyanogenMod7 and there are some things that I pretty dislike and I would like to install another ROM I have (it's a 2.2.1 rooted ROM) and I tried to do what I did to install the CM7 but when I installed it from the recovery this error message appeared:
"Installing update...
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted."
Is it really possible to root this ROM or do I have to stay in the CM7? :S
Any suggestion? Thank you very much for the support

CLockworkmod 3 is a must for the gingerbread CM7 roms.
And clockworkmod3 recovery will not support "amend - scripting"
What u need to do is, to install the CM7 custom rom. Then install "Rom Manager" from market. Then use a different version of clockworkmod (downgrade to 2.5 version or try different versions). Then reboot to recovery from Rom manager itself. Then try to install the 2.2.1 rooted rom. It should work. If u have any issues with installing custom roms, then try different version of clockworkmod recovery (from Rom Manager). That's all.

it surely worked, thank you very much

Can some one suggest me where download and how installa the stock rom for wildfire.
Now I use a cynogen 7 and i want go back to original froyo + sense
There are 3 primary ways to do that:
1) If you had taken a Nandroid Backup before installing CM7, Just restore that. (But I am assuming you didn't, hence you are asking this)
2) If you want to retain root and Clockworkmod Recovery, just flash this ROM. Its Stock Froyo + Sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
The process to install that is as follows:
- Download this attachment and place on your SDCard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662193&d=1311319218
- Flash in Clockworkmod 3.x or higher. This will give you temporary Clockworkmod 2.5 (Green Text)
- Then, perform a Data Wipe, and install the ROM Zip file as normal.
3) If you dont want to retain root and Clockworkmod
- Download the Froyo RUU from Shipped ROMs (Froyo WWE 2.22.405.1 EXE) from Shipped ROMs:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
- Connect Wildfire to the PC, and simply run it.

I can't understand what you mean by your first question at all. Clockworkmod Recovery flashed via ROM Manager is temporary. Your original Clockworkmod will remain untouched. So if you are using the option called Flash Clockworkmod Recovery in ROM Manager, then the next step is to select Reboot into Recovery from the ROM Manager App again, then flash the ROM File. In this case, you can discard the update1.zip file, as it has no significance.
As for your second question, mirrors of the EXE RUU can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275680
My first question is simple
on my phone i have rom manager and there is a row named "Flask clockwork mod recovery"
but
i don't know how go back from cynogen to stock rom using clockwork mod recovery
can you help me step by step?
and the stock [with no root] rom for wildfire with froyo is this one?
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.2 4H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe (This RUU contains HBoot 1.01.0001)
i need only to connect the phone to pc and run the exe?
First, decide what you want to do - Flash the EXE RUU, or Flash the Safe Flash ZIP File. If you decide to flash the Safe ZIP file, you will keep Clockworkmod Recovery, which will allow you to flash stuff later. If you select the EXE RUU, Clockworkmod Recovery will be removed, so you will NOT be able to flash anything, like ROMs, Kernels etc.
Once you have decided, here are the steps:
1) If you decide to install the Safe Flash ZIP File
- Download the Safe Flash ZIP from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877977
Rooted / Unrooted, Its upto you which version you want. Rooted version has Superuser, so you can run apps like Titanium Backup etc. Unrooted doesnt have Superuser, so you cant run root apps.
- Place this file on your SDCard
- Now, open ROM Manager
- Select Flash Clockworkmod Recovery. Then make sure you select 2.5.0.7. NOT a version beginning with 3.x, 4.x or 5.x
- Once it is installed, in ROM Manager, the next option will be 'reboot into recovery'. Select that
- Once you select that, then you will be taken to Clockworkmod 2.5.0.7 (Which has all its options in Green coloured Text). Here, select "Wipe Data / Factory Reset". This step will erase all data on your phone (Not on your SDcard, Just your phone data. This step is essential when changing ROMs)
- Lastly, select "Install Zip from SDCard", and then, select the ZIP file you placed on your card at the beginning of this step. Let it install. Once installed, Select "Reboot System Now", and let the phone reboot. Done
2) If you decide to run the EXE RUU
- Its pretty much 1 step. Connect the phone to your PC and run the EXE File. It will automatically perform the install. If you get an Error 131 - Customer ID Error, you will need to create a Goldcard. There's a guide for that here:

Okay - i bet since my question is too easy to solve i will get facepalmed soon
So what am i using:
HTC DESIRE SLCD / S-OFF / Rooted / 32gb class 10 SD card (Samsung)
4EXT touch Recovery
Runnymede_AIO_V6.0.4.1_Special_Edition + ad2sdx-1.0-RC01
Whats my Problem:
Low internal memory even if there are 1,2 gb of free space ( apps start crashing / default browser wont open due to lack of internal memory... everything else works perfect)
The Problem doesnt appear instantly after flashing and installing.
So what i did:
1. looked in the FAQ from Runnymede Thread and used a cache cleaner
2. installing the ROM few more times
But it didn't help - thats why i am here
I guess i am making a mistake while installing the Rom
www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg
(cant post img or links because i am new here - tell me if it doesnt work)
because i cant select this option - i guess thats where I go wrong?
maybe its the wrong ROM I downloaded?
I cant help myself somehow.. thats why i am here
(i spent about 1 week trying everything that comes to my mind but it didnt help)
Thx 4 all work you have done and your support!
if this works out i am going to donate 10€
What is your hboot ? I guess it is stock hboot.
It should be at least CM7r2 in order ad2sdx to work properly as it needs a bigger data partition sise to mount as sd-ext. Your actual sd-ext will be mounted as data partition.
I can't open www10.pic-upload.de/03.03.12/wve62nma9g9z.jpg to see what it is.
Yeah i have HBOOT 0.93.0001
okay gonna try fix that and then report my result
im having the same problem with my installation
i have the hboot from alpharev
the info is as follows
bravo pvt1 ship s-off
hboot- 0.93.0001
micicrop-031d
touch panel-synt0101
radio-5.17.05.23
aug 10 2010 17:52:18
and i have the same exact issue, i set my ext4 to abt 1.6gb and i cant get access to it at all
Alpharev made several HBOOTs, if you want to use AD2SDX make sure you flashed Bravo CM7 r2, you'll find it on their homepage.
I guess you guys both are currently using Bravo Stock HBOOT.
You can find out which HBOOT you are using (just to make sure) go into fastboot mode and look for the text in the pink box above the "BRAVO PVT xyz..."
Ok here we go again
I flashed Bravo CM7 r2 from alpharev.nl yesterday et voila - i had the ad2sdx option in the aroma installer.
(I had a screenshot on the the link nobody can see where it was missing)
Now the phone is working about 12 hours without any memory problems - of course it needed some time to settle down in the beginning, but that was mentioned in the runnymede threads before.
But i am still asking myself if i did too much now because...
I flashed Runnymede V6.0.4.1 with ad2sdx
Afterwards I immediately flashed ad2sdx-1.0-RC01 (amarullz)
Then i went for the Sense 3.5 Kernel from Droidzone
I bet i just needed to flash Runnymede since it comes with its own kernel (?) and has build-in ad2sdx?
Thx guys
Btw. kevearc how are you doin?
ad2sdx: You flashed the same thing twice, if you ckeck ad2sdx in the AROMA Installer, it will already be flashed automatically.
Kernel: The ROM comes with a build in Kernel by Droidzone, but you can flash newer ones.
Ahh btw.
I am looking for the sticky notes widget from stock ROM from android 2.2.
Just the one where you can draw/write and delete.
I dont need any memo or synchronisation and stuff.
So i looked " htc desire stock rom zip " to get the apk
or for " htc desire sticky notes " but didnt get what i was looking for.
I also tried to start the RUU installer and get the ROM.zip out of my temp folder but i didnt find it ( either in normal temp or windows\temp ).
Any idea? or is there a secret database hidden ?
Look at my signature..!

@kevearc: That means you are using Alpharev Stock HBOOT, go to their site and flash CM7r2. Instructions are given there.
@veljin: The easiest was to find the folder is to run ruu, open task manager, right-click adb.exe and select "open path" or something like that.

( only works with S-OFF !)
1. Download the Zip from Alpharev called PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip
2. Rename it to PB99IMG.zip
3. Put it on your SD Card
4. Start Bootloader with Power + Vol down
5. messages comes with " do you want to flash this blabla " -> go for it
6. delete File
7. Check if everything worked in the Bootloader Menu
8. Better reflash your ROM (maybe it works without that but i wont guarantee)

When you have CID error, you cannot update with sdcard procedure.
You need to flash it in fastboot mode or the easier way is search for Fastboot Commander and use this to flash the hboot.

Hello!
I have my desire for more than a year, some time ago I attempted to root my phone but when using the revo ... there was no effect. I have to admit that I have no knowledge on this topic. I want someone to explain step by step what I need to do (preferably with pictures) and one by one said what happens (bootload and everything means nothing for me). I should add that I did not want to upload a new system just to get access to system files. I care about my android play in the substitution of system files. (I hope that after all this root can do).
Ur phone is s-off so to gain root all u have to do is flash superuser zip from recovery

Any solutions to my problem? Can some one reply me please.
You have to flash a new recovery. Try running revolutionary again, and let it install ClockworkMod.
To "make your internal memory larger", you will need an ext partition on your sdcard, then install a a2sd script.

So there is next problem when you run volume - and power button and then connect to pc it say Android 1.0 ( on revo you need to update drivers but but when i try to do it, it says not found (in that folder)). I got windows 7. Also i read that revo dont allow to root phones with hboot 6.93 or i'm wrong. Sorry for bad english
//thnx for correcting me.
Another way would be through fastboot. If you search the forums, you will find a "fastboot" tool. As I am posting from my phone, and because I suffer from a severe case of laziness, you will have to find it yourself.
Another thing you need is Android Usb Drivers. Google it, download the drivers, then plug the phone in the PC. Go to Device Manager, right click the Android 1.0, then click update , then select update drivers manually. Then browse to the folder you have the android usb drivers content in.
Try using this guide.

Revolutionary flashed the clockworkmod. What a surprise...
Moving on. Backing up from recovery does a full backup of the current state of the phone. If you do something wrong, this will restore your phone to the exact state that it was when the backup was made. Don't forget to make one before making major changes to your phone (rom flashing).
And yes, flashing that superuser.zip will give you root.
Before flashing a rom, after you did a backup, make a factory data reset, and delete cache and dalvik. This will make a clean installation of the rom.
To move your apps from one rom to another, i recommend using Titanium Backup, and restore your apps on the new rom.
Most roms require an ext partition on your sdcard. To partition sdcard, you must flash 4ext recovery. Do this by searching the play store for "4ext recovery control" the app will flash it for you. Then, backup your sd contents to your pc ( the partition proccess will format your sd), Then reboot into recovery, select tools, partition sd-card. Make an ext4 partition of 1gb, and for the rest select 0. Then, congratz, you have an ext partition. To use it, you must flash an a2sd script. I use "mounts2sd". Google it. This script will have to be flashed to any rom you install, every time, unless the rom already has a script built in.
Then you're ready to flash any rom your heard "desires". Hehe... get it... "desires".
P.S. Gold card information:
What a Gold Card does is letting you install ROMs on your Android device that aren’t intended for your carrier. For example,if you have a T-Mobile USA HTC Desire, you can install an official ROM intended for the O2 UK HTC Desire, or even a generic ROM that isn’t locked to a carrier.It does so by disabling the CID (Carrier ID)check that the device does when installing a ROM.
If you have an unlocked desire, then you won't need a gold card.

Ex. If i add widget to system files can i back to my old one? And every file on forum is in zip. How to install it to my system (ex. that widget)

If you backup from recovery, that backup will be saved on sdcard in the clockworkmod/backup folder.
To install a zip, go to recovery and select "install zip from sdcard" , then find and select the zip. Remember to backup first.
Usually widgets, apps in general come in .apk format. If you want to install one, just install it with root explorer. No need for recovery install.
Anyways, i'm kinda tired. If you have any more questions, ask jmcclue.

Ok.. i wasnt calling u an idiot, i was just trying to be funny! And the instructions i gave is the best way to flash recovery, from fastboot. Not just run revolutionary and he wont need to "buy" 4ext recovery control coz my guide is the latest recovery.

Go here and download superuser 3.0.7 zip and put it on ur sdcard then with ur phone off hold volume down + power. Once in bootloader press volume buttons to navigate down to recovery and press power button to select, then in recovery choose install zip from sdcard and flash superuser.zip, once complete just reboot and u will have root

My phone is S-OFF however I am unable to push recovery. I have SU signed package on the SD card though CWM is not there in my phone. I have tried numerous time with both, Unrevoked and Evolution's method but they just won't give me any result but keep me waiting.
I have even tried to flash recovery via fastboot but it returns with an error says "Failed".
Can some one through light on what am I missing?
This is my HTC Desire information:
My phone is HTC Desire.
Andoird: 2.2
Baseband ver: 2.15.00.11.16
Kernel ver: 2.6.32.21
Build number: 2.11.573.5 CL325935
Software number: 2.11.573.5
PRI ver: 1.70
PRL ver: 15114
hboot: 6.93.9999
Radio- 2.15.00.11.16
Dec 22 2010
I wanna upgrade to andoird 2.3.7
1- Can you please give me the download link for that? Because I got a file and it gives error 130.
2- I downloaded two files from alpharev.nl. one of them is img and the other one is zip.
I browse for these two files in Fastboot Commander program. One of them in Hboot/spl and the other one in Recovery and then flashed both. Then I browse for zip file in Full Zip tab and and flashed that one,too.
I was not folllowing a guide. I just tried them, because the monitor was black, I thought maybe these files get it fixed.
I think I flashed "Bravo CM7 r2" files(both of .img file in the zip file). But I'm not sure which files are for my cellphone.
I executed this file "PB9940000_BravoC_hboot_1.09.0000_USC_UTSI" which is for my cellphone, and I'm sure about it, because in flashboot screen I see BravoC and my cellphone is US Cellular. Now the monitor is on, but whenever I turn off and on the cellphone, it is in fastboot screen. When I want to go to the Recovery menu, it restarts.
I think I should copy a PB99IMG.zip file in sd card, but I don't know where I can find the file.
What can I do?
Please help me.
This is the main problem:

If you don't know what you're doing, find a guide first. If it doesn't make sense -> ask before you try anything.
If you definitely have a CDMA Desire (BravoC without SIM card slot) then read this first...
- You are lucky you didn't actually flash any of the hboots from alpharev. They are for GSM Desires, not CDMA. You would have bricked it if you successfully flashed it.
- Next try understand what you're doing. Even if you could flash the hboot, it won't upgrade your desire to 2.3.7. These only repartition your internal memory.
- It looks like you are already s-off as your hboot version is 6.93.9999. Can you confirm this? Power off and boot to bootloader (Volume down + power), post everything it says at the top of the screen.
What I believe is that your recovery is somehow corrupted. You simply need to reflash recovery, full wipe and flash a ROM which is compatible with CDMA desire (you could hopefully find one with Android 2.3.7 or higher).
- Download the recovery.zip from here, halfway through 1st post: (Desire CDMA) link.
- Extract the .zip, and find the recovery.img file.
- Use a guide, flash the recovery.img through fastboot commands
- You should now be able to boot into 4EXT recovery.
- A custom rom is likley to require an sd-card partition, so backup sd card and partition with 4EXT recovery
- Find a ROM which is compatible with CDMA Desire, copy ROM.zip to sdcard.
- Nandroid backup (backup existing ROM in case you need to recover things from it later)
- "Wipe all partitions except sdcard" within 4EXT Recovery
- Flash ROM.zip
My knowledge is mainly to do with GSM Desire, never worked with CDMA. Main thing you need to realise is that a lot of the development work is focussed on GSM version. Anything you flash / install must be compatible with your CDMA desire.

Actually, after 3 days working on it, I could fix it. I had deleted the recovery, and everything. I intalled the reovery and then Rom, and now it's running normally.
Can you please tell me what custom Rom is the best? Can I install Android 4.x ?
Thank you :good:

No one can tell you what rom is the best. Pick a rom, or try a few out, then decide which one suits your needs the best.
Yes you can install android 4+. There are roms in the development section ranging from 4.0-4.4.
I've installed the cyanogenmod 7.2 (Andoird 2.3.7) and it's working ok.
Now I have another problem:
1- ADB works, Fastboot doesn't work. I installed intel USB3 driver for win8 64bit, but didn't work. I also installed 3 versions of HTC Android phone.
2- The hboot version is 1.09. how can I downgrade it to 1.06 or lower? The phone is S-On and because it's 1.09 I can't use Revolutionary.
Thanks
