I found a forum where there talking of rooting Wildfire S (Htc Marvel)
Unfortunatly , this forum is in Chinese language.
There is the link with google translate : http://translate.googleusercontent....1.html&usg=ALkJrhgeEKjydt_I6ck9muCipyxUwFujLA
Hope there is going to help root of Wildfire S
The Wildfire S can already be rooted by using Gingerbreak.
Only if you have S-Off device ... With XTC Clip... We search to do without the clip.

Not really. It can only be rooted with GingerBreak on some firmware versions. For instance, the Bell Canada Wildfire S has a very recent firmware version that can't be rooted with GingerBreak. They fixed the exploit.
Here are the Chinese instructions to root the Wildfire S. It's pretty clear and straightforward and only works with S-OFF. I haven't tried it yet though
http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-7706280-1-1.html
(translate it with Google Chrome, just right click and "Translate to English".
Or the fully translated link:
http://translate.google.com/transla...n&u=http://bbs.xda.cn/thread-7706280-1-1.html
By the way... "brush" means "boot".
I am attaching the root.zip file they used to root so you guys don't have to register on the chinese forum.
The process is basically boot into recovery and flash that file.
I have recently bought a Wildfire S with 2.3.3 ROM. Can I root it by flasing the root.zip?
Will I not brick my phone?
Is it a permanent root?
Thanks for answers, in advance!
The zipfile appears to only have files for /system; so your bootloader and recovery is unaffected. Even *if* it bricks your phone, you can reflash a stock rom without problems.
In other words, there is *zero* risk in trying it out yourself.
Do you know what the Bell one can be rooted with?

Currently it can't be rooted with GingerBreak nor SuperOneClick. I haven't tried the chinese method specified above because I haven't seen my girlfriend in a few days and she's the one with this phone.
Why not just install a custom recovery and then a rooted ROM instead, would make everything so much easier.

Yep, but I don't think the chinese method is complicated at all. We'd have to try it first though. I haven't found yet a rooted ROM for this phone.

If you look in the code box it says it has root permissions with Superuser installed.
it have been rooted
Tested on stock European ROM (S-OFF with XTC clip) and works perfectly. Just flash it with the custom recovery and reboot!

Hi Guys,
Having Problem in Rooting for my WildFire-A333.
Find Below are my Specifications.And Yes I tried both SuperClick and UnRevoked but it seems doenst work.
Model:HTCWildFire-A333,
S-ON(Unable to do S-OFF),
HBoot:1.02.0000,
Android 2.2.1,
Kernel Version:2.6.32.21-g6c55ee4
HELP!!!!
Thanks
How did you get that hboot, did the phone come with it? Never seen it before. Try to go to revolutionary.io and try to downgrade your hboot so you can s-off. After you have s-off you can then root and custom rom like mad ;-) if you can't downgrade the you can go to htcdev and get your bootloader *unlocked* but that will void your warrenty and they will definitely know about it.

Looks like you have updated the HBOOT from HTCDev site.
If yes you can use HTCDev site Bootloader unlock tool to unlock your bootloader which will make your device rootable. (it will still show S-ON though).
Nop,HBOOT came with this device itself.
i tried both htcdev,they says unable to bootloader for this ROM.
The HBOOT must have been updated somehow. Is it a new phone or did you get it second hand.
Did you try HTCDev method from the steps after the HBOOT update is done.

Nop its not updated it is as it is which i bought almost 1 year ago.
Its Not Second Hand
Yes I tried and result was unsuccessful.(ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED)
it says your rom version is not supported currently,but there will be an update soon that will be supported.
i have selected "hTC Asia India" as carrier. is it wrong??
I believe first you tried to update HBoot which failed then you tried to unlock bootloader without updating HBoot and that also failed.
If that is the case you have two options.
1. Search the forums to downgrade your HBoot to 1.01.0001, if you can successfully downgrade your Hboot you can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF.
2. Wait sometime to see if HTCDev site gets updated with support of your ROM and then try again.
Also if your existing ROM is India specific then you should select "HTC Asia India"
Mine is 2.25.720.1 CL299250 release-keys which is for India.
hello ,
i unlocked my bootloader using htc dev website ,and then i rooted the phone using gingerbreak v1.2.
the phone got rooted successfully but when i tried flashing CM7 on my phone ,through rom manager ,my phone restarted after asking superuser for permission .
after the restart , the phone hangs with a white screen with HTC logo .
i had flashed clockworkmod recovery before getting CM7 .
i tried going to recovery from bootloader and from pc .
please help guys ,i am really stuck in here .
sorry but this may help. Install CM7 using recovery not through rom manager. This may fix your problem.I hope =)

Hi.. u just try rooting your phone again using "unlockroot" one click tool(www.unlockroot.com) (as i did) or use htc super tool ...
Later install cwm recovery via fastboot method..plzz dont do it via rom manager as it just gives a temp recovery...
Then you can install custom rom's by going into cwm recovery..
IMP: make a backup of ur existing rom b4 flashing a custom rom and do a data reset b4 flashing..
hope this helps....
Still Not working Guys,please help I am just fed up with this message"low memory disk space"
Want to root anyhow..HELP!!

Sorry - I have followed the HTCDev side and I have unlocked the bootloader (it shows nice 'UNLOCKED' on power+volume down on boot). However I cannot find a way to actually root the device. How can I do it?

Follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22011309&postcount=4 post from me. I did it that way and it is the safest way because it does not try to use any kind of hack to root your phone.

Thanks. I have successfully flashed clockworkmod. Then I've made nandroid backup (and flashed cyanogenmode - it seems to be much more responsive).
The only alteration was that I have used the fastboot utility from Google Android SDK.

Happy that you succeeded.
The fastboot utility you needed to download from the suggested post was also from Google Android SDK albeit an older version.

Hello,
My friend has a htc wildfire phone and he asked me to root and install cyanogenmod for him. I was planning on installing this particular rom on his phone : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143125
Before installing this rom, I followed these guides to debrand, root and install cwm recovery on the phone:
1.[REF/GUIDE] [29/07] The Complete Wildfire Index
2.[FULL GUIDE] Rooting HTC Wildfire (BUZZ) 2.2.1 with HBOOT 1.01.0002 !! (5/8/2011)
3.[Full Guide] All in one - De-branding, rooting and flashing for all HBOOT versions
I am having problems with unlocking the BL. I cant seem to get the HBOOT down to 1.01.0001. Tried the htcdev method and was able to unlock my BL but my HBOOT ver. is now 1.20.xxxx and i am not able to root the phone. I had tried all of 3 guides above to debrand the phone but no success.
In the buzzdowngrade part of the instructions, i successfully complete the step1.bat and the gold card part. Step2.bat also completes but when i go back into HBOOT i saw no change, hence i went the htcdev way and now my HBOOT is 1.20.xxx Any advices how to root now??

Hi,
I've a Wildfire with the stock ROM 2.2.1. Now i want to upgrade it to some custom ROM. Is it possible for me to Root and install a Custom ROM in my Wildfire. Till now i've not rooted this fone and also heard that after upgrading to stock ROM 2.2.1 it's not possible. Searched the Forum but could not find the relevant thread. Would be thankful if someone can guide me to proper thread or solution.

Hi
Once you root your phone, you can flash any rom. Which hboot are you on ?
This will make it easy for you to search the right ans.
I suppose u have hboot 1.01.002..
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda app-developers app
Hi,

Radio is 3.35.20.10

Kernel version : 2.6 32.21
Software number: 2.25.720.1
Yes its possible, I had the same.
Go to htcdev.com and unlock ur bootlaoder, no downgrade needed..instructions are there on the site as to how to unlock it.
Use gingerbreak or z4root or 1click root or any such tiny app and you will be rooted.

Hi, please try to follow the below steps:
1- Download the rooted GB rom from the below links:

2- Follow the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
That should take you less than 5 mins to get s-off.
Hey,
If you want to root your DHD you need to follow these steps :
1. Update your HBOOT to 2.00.0029 using this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40744357
2. Then unlock your phone using HTCDev.
(From step 3 and after it's better that you follow the guide here under)
3. Flash CWM or 4ext recovery.
4. Flash SuperUser
5. Reboot and your done.
(This is not for S-OFF, S-OFF has became kinda hard because AAHK retired)
