I have a Wildfire and I have recently got rid of all my root/rom etc,
Completley wiped it and put it back to factory.
Now I have waited a month of two for the updates to come as its still on 2.2.1 which is how I got it when I bought the phone, but I would prefer it to be on the latest version.
How can I sort this? Any ideas? When I had the phone rooted and I got rid of the rom the update came up within two days, It would not download properly due to the root and now everything is back to normal the update just isn't coming!
it's a bit silly these things just being "over air" why don't they have a download link?!
Last version is 2.2.1...
Yeah but I used to have the latest version where the unlock would be a swipe to the right and you could change from silent to loud by swiping to the left and it was all updated and look fancier.
Now It has the old version where you swipe down to unlock etc.
The one im on now :

Use widget locker,or lock bot...you have many options of colors and button pics to make it more cooler!

The latest version that you are thinking is not official update by HTC. It is the customised pure Android with/without additions.
The last official update for wildfire by Htc is 2.2.1

Your new "update" was actually a Custom ROM. What you are seeing now is what you should be seeing on an official unrooted ROM
But I am 99% sure I had the update before I had the root and rom.
it wanted to update when it was rooted and had no rom on it, so thought it would update again once i'd cleared the root.
Maybe it was just when I had rooted it then.
Can't be.
ROM, Yes, getting that lockscreen on the Stock ROM is possible, but, without root, no. (I am not including 3rd party lockscreen apps here)
Also installing a lock screen on a stock ROM will not change the notification bar. The notification bar in the latest one you are thinking is not the stock one. So mostly it is custom ROM unless you have messed up with the notification bar too.

They were just examples of what I was trying to explain I found on the internet.
Must have been when I rooted the phone I guess. Was a better interface but the Rom has so many niggles I couldn't handle it, oh well.

You can find the stock firmware here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-I747M&pcode=RWC&os=1&type=1#firmware
Also you might want Google around for "resetting the flash counter". If the flash counter is incremented it voids the warranty.

Thanks for the response. Do I install the stock ROM the same way as I did the custom one?
use odin to install stock rom...
Sorry, I'm not too familiar with phones. Can anyone post a link or step by step how to use Odin to flash it back to the original ROM? The only time I used Odin was to root my phone. Thanks in advance

Hi Folks! So I decided to create a post dedicated for the mods I make especially just for Paranoid.
I wanna thank first
D4rKn3sSyS
and
molesarecoming
for making it possible to give us the best rom yet there is to S II which is
[JB:CM10:HYBRD] PARANOIDANDROID [2.0, True HybridMode, Size & UI on Per App Basis]
Note: This mods I make are not themes! These are customizations on Navigation Bar on the SystemUI.
To have a better idea of what this mod is, refer to the picture below:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you are a fun of the navigation bar for whatever purpose it serves you, it somehow ruins the Status Bar in some point. My mod would preserve both the recent apps and home button and eliminating the back button. The reason behind this is because our hard-keys, in time, do wear out and if you wanna preserve them, you would try to avoid using them unlike the back button which is a soft button. I also decreased the navigation key width to allow usage of up to 5 icons in the status bar yet not overlapping with the nav bar.
Installation:
There are 3 types of flashable zip. two of them are the mod itself (With both Recent and Home and with Recent button only) and the other is to restore the original SystemUI. Go to Recovery, flash the zip file and reboot.
I hope you guys like it and if you do! The simplest favor you could do me is hit the thanks button!
Reserved!
:victory: thanks a lot mate!!!
a great mod for the table ui

It is impossible to use Paranoid Preferences on other roms. Even if you get the apk of it from the rom there is no way that it would function in other roms since there are lots of integration between the app and the rom. Sorry

Hi.. are you still working on this mod?
really Love this mod with PA. but latest PA version disables the new TabUI toggles and i think it defaults to the basic TabUI.
Will you be updating this?
Thanks in advance...
Hi, I'm just wondering if this mod is PA-only or if it can be applied to any AOSP-based JB rom. Thanks!
As to the above question^, i am running JellyBam 4.1.2.
Given Jellybam has PA integration, will this mod work fine?
Thankyou.
Hey all,
I did a search and read a few threads and couldn't find an answer. I have managed to lose my notification bar. The phone boots fine, I get notification sounds and can still pull the bar down as though it were there, but it (and anything on it) does not display at all. I have flashed different roms, cleared cache and done factory resets and still cannot seem to recover the top notification bar. Sometimes it shows up for a while, then it is gone again. Anyone have a way to fix this or a way to revert back to system defaults and start fresh?
Also, a recovery from my backup did not resolve this issue. I had though it was just a bad rom flash and was shocked to find I could not resolve the issue with any rom. Any ideas would be helpful, but replies might take a day or so as the issue is intermittent. Thanks.

Based on the pic, you have modded the notification bar. Maybe it's a problem with the mod.

I thought a full wipe and re-flash, with the same rom or another, would clear any mods. Is that incorrect? If it doesn't clear, does anyone have a stock notification zip I can flash or is there some alternative?
I would think a full wipe would as well... idk that's odd.
You could try going back to 100% bone stock.

Was you running a rom with the center clock mod? I've noticed it happens to some but not all when running the center clock.
Edit: sorry just noticed you said you tried other roms.
How weird. That started happening to me out of nowhere but only sometimes and only on the lockscreen and only after I installed a custom kernel. But it still happens on occasion even when on stock kernel.

I had a custom kernel to go with Goodness. But I cannot figure out how to fix this. Maybe a stock kernel flash? It is about the only thing I haven't done.
**EDIT**
After playing around I still have the issue. Using the Modem AIO did not resolve the issue. Running Paranoid Android from the Original Android Development threads did resolve the problem entirely, however. I am honestly at a loss on this one. If anyone has any ideas I would love to have them. I don't have any issues running original ROMs, but there were a few that I was fairly fond of that I would like to move back to if possible.
Dear Members,
First of all I would like to say that I am a fan of all you developers out there .. you guys Rock !
So here is the thing, I am facing a huge problem with my Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747 in trying every damn custom rom out there.
I successfully ROOT & Installed Custom Recovery on it
then i tried installing Cyanogenmod rom on it. (it didn't worked) got Status 7 error
I installed another custom rom ( same error )
I tried to find solution for Status 7 Error and found many resources on XDA so I applied that to remove status 7 error ... well nothing work still it didn't installed rom gave error of some media+lost or something (don't remember)
then I tried AOKP rom and it worked ... it got installed and things were fine but the Camera app was not working it was just a total pain.
I downloaded Cyanogenmod for SGH-I747 again thought I have installed this custom AOKP rom now it should work .. but damn same thing same error no issue resolved.
So I downloaded the SGH-I747 Stock ROM and Installed it and it worked like a charm again... but hated that touchwiz crap so after few days amazing developers at XDA / Cyanogenmod cameup with Cyanogenmod Installer (One in all installer app for custom cyanogenmod)
So happily I plugged in my SGH-i747 after installing the Cyanogenmod Installer on Android and PC
the phone got detected
Cyanogenmod Installer (PC) started downloading recovery / rom everything for it. Once it was all downloaded it asked me that its going to flash the phone I said fine proceed ... so suddenly I saw Cyanogenmod Logo on phone I was super excited that now its gonna work .. but then suddenly I got this error
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This symbol disappeared on the screen and then the this came up
After that it said that it has finished installing cyanogenmod but when I started the phone it was the same stock rom which I installed before and cyanogenmod did nothing to it .
AOKP works and nothing else does as in a custom ROM ...
I am so fed up with this now ... It would be great if someone could just help me out here ... I am just dying over here ...
Best Regards,
Adnan
Since I'm assuming by custom roms you mostly mean cm based aosp roms, have you update your bootloader yet? If not here's how:

But I don't want AOSP / CM based rom I just want Cyanogen ROM which is for d2att to work on my mobile
I'm sorry I am a bit of a N00b in detailed stuff
i have the exact same phone (on at&t) and have been going through the same scenarios. i was for sure cyanogen installer was going to work, but after it was all done im still running the same oem roms.
I just got a used E980. idk what he's done to it. but appeared vanella. I tried rooting, from the proper thread with the right files. suposedly right for the e980. so I tried to just reboot recovery, but all i get is an android with a red triangle and an ! inside it of.
the error i get when trying to root is -

If it's a custom Rom it's already rooted (obviously). Check the build version in your settings.

yeah i can't get into TWRP, or the other one. it keeps giving me dude with red !. version is jz054k.
I did a full wipe and install of an origonal build of the software, was able to root it sucesfully now. but still can't get into the bootloader menu. tried cammand line to tell it to boot into it, tried rom manager. no dice. just keep getting little dude. i remember seeing a thread about him, i don't know what he means :\
The bootloader on these phones are locked. You are able to install the custom recovery only because Freegee can bypass the bootloader.

yeah i got around it and managed to do it. didnt much like the rom, know any clean roms that are more stock like? i really didnt mind stock. but i want 4.4 or better than stock.
Honestly, your best option is to wait for the kitkat update to hit in a month or so. You get what you're looking for in one stock update. Hassle free. That's what I'm doing. The more I learn about this phone, the more I am hesitant to flash anything to it. Mostly because there are so many variants for this phone. Everything can't be compatible so why risk it.

Read the whole thing then you'll be ready to go
Its the kitkat Korean update, I'm using it on my e980 , pretty sweet
yeah i agree, i havn't found many rom's i like. ive found roms always fail after awhile. so idk. they always bloat up and start to fail than they need the update to be stable blah blah than your reinstalling all apps and backing **** up. idk, was just looking at what phones offer these days for modding but nothing seems to of changed. this phone inparticular is a rather unstable device none stock, seems to be allota issues and a good reason to have bootloader locked.
Un locking the bootloader only allows for custom kernels on any given device. In some cases you will get greater stability. But for the most part you will still have glitches, performance decreases, etc. because you are STILL flashing custom Roms. And in allot of cases your phone will go completely nuts because custom kernels have their glitches too. So in short, sometimes, Custom Rom=glitches. custom kernel=glitches. That all adds up to a totally unstable Rom. Keep in mind all devices are not the same. What runs great on his might crash your phone completely. Just my 2 cents....lol
