hi everyone.
i am new in the forum and i had the Xperia X10mini month ago so i had not any question about the roms
now i got the HTC Wildfire S and as i see it must get xtc clip to make s-off so you can put custom rom in it.
i saw a topic that mentioned for a GoldCart that changes the rom from t-mobile to stock htc rom etc. (this is as i understand )
my question is that if i can put a custom rom with that method without getting the s-off thing
Not possible

Hi there!
I am all new to the android world and a proud owner of a HTC Desire.
I have a branded (vodafone) version with bootloader 0.93.0001, SLCD and android 2.2 with all Updates installed.
I would like to unbrand, root and install the MIUI Rom on my Desire.
I read through guides and stuff and they unsettled me.
There often are hints which say things like: not with new HTC OTA, bootloader xx, SLCD Screen and so on.
So... above I already stated what I would like to do with my Desire.
First of all is it possible? ^^
Seconded, would someone tell me what guides (and pls in what order!!) I have to follow?
I would be very thankful in advance.
Have a nice christmas everyone.
regards

Before rooting, it's a good idea to save the stock ROM you are running right now, so in case of emergency, you can revert to it and send it to the repair service.
From what you say, I assume you are running 2.33.161.2 Vodafone rom, here is the RUU.exe for that version.
You cannot unbrand your phone, but can get rid of the vodafone adware (debrand) by installing a WWE ROM or a MIUI custom rom, as you said you would like.
To install a custom rom you'll have too use unrevoked in order to get root (SU) and a custom recovery, from the latter you can flash custom ROMs.
The most newbie friendly guide in my view is turkey's one.
You must not forget that we, also wish you a Merry Christmass.
Hi again!
Thanks for that Link, it is really helpful.
I have just one Question left:
Won't I need a goldcard?
Because in this guide there is nothing said about a goldcard, but in other tutorials I read that it is needed it to flash, root etc.
So according to the tut you posted above, I guess I dont need a goldcard, right?
regards
You will need a gold card to flash an official WWE ROM, but you do not need a goldcard to flash the RUU I have linked or the MIUI (because it's a custom, not an official rom by a carrier or htc).
Unrevoked doesn't require a goldcard neither.
Thanks again for your help.
I managed to successfully install the gMIUI ROM I found in this Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885844
But now my light sensor doesn't work! As well as torchlight.
How can I fix this?
+ I think that ROM is really unstable it already rebooted itself 2 times?
Sometimes it just reboots when starting an application?
EDIT: this really sucks. is MIUI really that bad?
Is MIUI in general rather unstable? Or did I do simething wrong/is there a more stable version of it?
(BTW: I choose Pays gMIUI because I wanted to have german language)
regards
Haven't tried Pay's MIUI, but the english version is solid.
You can download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9932492&postcount=4070
And then download a german language pack from here http://forums.miui-dev.com/showthre...UI-0.12.18-%28N1-Desire%29-Pack-3-verf%FCgbar
Can't tell you info or instructions on that because it's in ... german .
Hi
I am using wildfire buzz
2.25.720.1 my build no.
2.6.32.21 kernel ver. India
android 2.2.1
how to root my HTC wildfire
thank
if you're using the Wildfire Buzz, then first of all you're in the wrong fora, since there is one for Wildfire Buzz.
And the Buzz version still can't be rooted unless you use XTC clip to set S-off, then downgrade to 2.1, then root with unrevoked.
But all of that are explained in the forum for Buzz.
Hi aman,
First of all, elcome to XDA.
I noticed that you've posted this same question in a few different places, and as DenKofAnd pointed out, you need to ask in the correct forum for your device.
Dont worry about it though, easy mistake to make.
Im going to close this thread as its not relevant to the Wildfire S. Im sure you will be able to find the answer your looking for in the wildfire section though.
Good luck and happy flashing
Hi can anyone point me towards a idiots guide to goldcard install for a new Rom and what Rom is best also any way to get sense 3 lock screen thanks from
wildfire s s_on :-(
What is the version of your Hboot ? Your operator and your Rom ?
It's been covered many times... to get S-OFF you need to use an XTC Clip.
As for a guide and what ROM to use, that's covered in this section and the Development section
Hi h boot is 0.90
ROM is Vodafone UK and sorry if it is well covered else where but its nice to find out peoples experience with the time and installing them and what method as we all want a one click and go if possible

can you not read?
XTC CLIP!!!
hello guys, im a happy new member of the desire community .
I have came from a Sony Ericsson Xperia x8, which i a little different in terms of modding your roms and radios... I have looked around the threads for a while now and not really found anything what answers my question, so sorry if there maybe a duplicate don't burn me if there is i have tried.
I know how to root my phone and the recovery installation as i had an old HTC wildfire what i broke but am not familiar with unlocking and flashing bootloaders hence why i need your help.
But i would like some help or answers regarding my HTC so here we go...
Well first of all the HTC is locked onto the orange network, i am currently on three so how could i get my phone unlocked... possibly free?
Also when i get my HTC unlocked if i flash things like new radios, roms, bootloaders ETC... will my phone remain unlocked or become locked again?
Also what is the first rom i should try out? I would want a fast one whats stable but maybe perhaps android 4.0 or above, can you guys give me some suggestions please thanks.
Ps: Sorry for the wall of text i want to make sure i get things right and don't brick my phone in the process of unlocking. :fingers-crossed:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Are you S-OFF or bootloader unlocked? If not you can achieve both by using Sunshine which is an all in one root/s-off/bootloader unlock pretty much. Only downside is it costs $25. If you're using the international variant(which I assume you are since you're posting in international forum) then you can also request an unlock code to unlock your phones bootloader using HTCDev. This however will only allow you to do so much and I recommend Sunshine but either way will work. Once you have either an unlocked bootloader or S-OFF you can flash one of the custom ROM's from the Development section of the M8 forum. If you want stock Sense I recommend using Android Revolution HD, otherwise you can browse there yourself and find something you like.
Take note in order to flash anything you're going to need a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP
TWRP can be found here & CWM can be found here
ARHD(Android Revolution HD) can also be found here
Also here is a good tutorial on how to do these things if you don't already know. I highly recommend doing some research for yourself and truly understanding what you're doing before you actually do any of it. As with anything you should always do your own research before doing something and make sure you're familiar with it and properly equipped to do it(equipped with proper knowledge).
