Still no way to root successfully on new OTA?

I see people having problems with every method going. Just wanted to make sure I am not missing a thread somewhere as I can only view on phone app right now. I want to update but wont risk losing root.

If you're rooted just flash a rooted rom, there's a few out already.
And: post in the right section.

My bad on posting in the wrong place, im on my phone and figured someone in this section would be the first to know, I appologize. I flashed a rom already with the new ota but I want to update the radio and 4g too and I read that aside from the possibilites of having 4g connection issues via bad mac addresses the new radio will cause problems with my old hboot and once I go to the 2.10 version rooting is not possible. I was just looking for any info saying otherwise but its a bit hard on the phone app to scroll through everything. I'll just wait until someone gets the root working and then unroot via s-on ,ruu back to stock 3.29 and dl the ota via HTC software update. Thanks for the time.

[Q] ROM installing problems

Whenever i try to install a new ROM on my HTC Wildfire 2.1 it blocks at the boot-up.
I erased everything and the cache memory from the ClockWork Recovery and made a back-up image.
I tried installing them from the cold-boot and with ROM Manager even though it's the same thing.
Also, by updating it to 2.2 will i lose my root?
Thanks

I am rockin a hero200 and i have gone between 1.5 to 2.2 to 2.1 then 2.3 back to 2.1 not in the same day of course.Through all that i have kept root with out having to re-root.
you should be fine depending on how you go about rooting it. as for the problem you are having im not the most qualified out there but i do know my fare share it could be a bad recovery flash or your phone didn't hold the root i had that happen once.
i would recommend going on the market and downloading Root Checker to see if your is actually rooted.

what method did you use to root.

The one where you use the android sdk. Not the unrevoked one

not sure if i can link so goggle Guide one click root wildfire. <-- i beleave this is an unrevoked method
i talked to a friend he had a similar issue and that worked.
it should be the first. I usually dont recommend the one click root mainly because i like to have control over what is going on but it fixed a friends phone.
like i said before use Root Checker to see if your is actually rooted.
when i first rooted my phone last year i had a recovery img but no root privileges in the the phone and i fixed it by re-rooting.
il look some more and get back to you but if you want to give this a shot i hope this helps. good luck my friend

The app says that my phone is rooted.
So, i remember now how i rooted the phone.
Installed the HBOOT drivers, then Unrevoked.
Any way of un-rooting the phone, update, re-root?
Also, will it work on 2.2?

ok so this is what i found you can try to find a wildfire stock ruu. I have never looked into un-rooting so im not the best one to ask. From what i understand it flashes a stock rom back to the phone.
you can also try looking up other methods of flashing and test them out when i started thats what i did. i mean your phone is already saying its rooted whats the harm. just read and ask questions before you try something never hurts to be safe and let the others know what your attempting and why.

Unrooting is not my problem.
I want to know why i can't install a custom rom on my phone.

n0ster are you going back to stock using odin? That was my problem and with my captivate, I used odin did the back to the American stock and I was able to load my first rom which was firefly!!!

No. Now it seems i can't update to 2.2.
So i should go back to stock, and try installing a new rom?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I was thinking.
If i would reset the phone to its factory settings, then root it again.
Would i still be able to install the ROM?

how do you root your wildfire?
Mine is Froyo 2.2.1 and the unrevoked method isn't working with it.

[Q] GPS issues

new to rooting and flashing roms. there is onw problem I am having. When I flash a rom gps suddenly goes out the window, none of the indicators pop up in the notification bar, maps and navigation have a problem finding my location, and most of the time my phone doesn't know where I am. Now if I unroot back to stock everything goes back to normal which is weird to me but what I would like to ask the community is that, What can I do to fix this issue? Do I need to flash a fix or is there nothing I can do?

I'm sure you've already done this but you did go in to your location settings menu and checked the ones that apply? I haven't heard of this and it must not be a hardware issue if it works fine on stock..

that's what I thought... honestly I haven't tried all the roms (mostly just the stock roms) but I have flashed at least four, all with the same results. I would just keep it stock so I have a fully working phone but the only unrooted flash I know of is on the Unlockr site which will unroot it back to 2.1 and I don't know if I can live that far in the past

The other weird thing is in locations there is an option for location on and E911 . The E911 is checked on and it says that E911 cannot be checked off on any mobile device. Ask the other times it gives me an option. I am currently running Magnolia Final's latest version

when I flash through hboot should I wipe as if I'm flashing another rom? I flashed a 2.2 ruu before the OTA went out and I ended up bootlooping and everything forced closed on me. I think that's what made me root in the first place.

where do i go to get it

Having the same issue my GPS has not worked for like the past 6 months if anyone has found a fix to the problem. I'm running lous #8 the new evo radio .04.08

[Q] How to install a ROM?

I think this will be my last real "noob" question. I've done some searching, but no real clear answer.
Just how exactly do I install a ROM? I'm thinking of trying both Virtuous and Cyanogen, just want to test them first. And do I still need to use / have the goldcard I initially made to downgrade the firmware, or can I turn that into a "regular" SD card again?
PS - With Virtuous, will using something like LauncherPro slow it down? Or will it not matter?
Thanks again in advance.
EDIT: I also kinda need to update the radio, I have no mobile data on the stock 1.34 radio...lol.

I bet you could of figured this out by googling "how to flash rom on g2/dz" faster than typing this question lol. Get rom manager, flash recovery with rom manager, download rom you want from rom manager, click okay...pretty easy stuff.
Sent from my Vision using XDA Premium App

However sometimes this does not work. A manual install of whatever comes down to downloading and dropping the .zip file of the ROM and whatever Google App pack into your root SD mount. Boot into recovery by Pwr+Vol Down, do a full wipe of both cache and the phone. Then Install Zip from SD card, flash the rom, then the gapps. Reboot.
Yes your back key will function in root.
Edit: When mounting your sd card onto the computer make sure USB debugging is on.

Thanks guys, I did end up figuring it out, now I'm just trying to flash my radio...there's 1 thread with goo dinstructions, but they're still not clear... eugh.
I feel more and more noob with this haha.

Well do a lot of reading before you go and install just any radio.... Make sure they are compatible. I don't want to see your next noob question be "I bricked my phone please help"
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

you will learn by your mistake.
That's how i learn it.

No, I made sure to read everything I could. I just couldn't find any noob friendly radio instructions. I installed Virtuous, just trying to update to the recommended radio. lol

Rmk40 actually just released a program all about radios. Go check it out.

SERIOUSLY, careful. No offense, but if you're not sure on the details of how to flash a ROM, chances are you don't have the knowledge to safely flash your radio.
I feel competent flashing roms, pushing files with adb, and radios still freak me out. If you mess up, there's not turning back =/

I have a ROM flashed now. Just haven't found any real concise instructions on how to flash a radio.
The problem I find with most of these guides is that they say "If you don't know this blah blah google it", rather than explaining the method and how to do it / why it is important.

I think you should get clockwork mod premium and check out the options on there, it will basically download the rom for you and complete all the necessary steps to have a working install. I've been flashing roms since the G1 in 2008 and I still have some small issues here and there when doing it manually but if you want a safe bet, go with the clockwork mod app :]

I used it already to isntall roms, but can you flash radios with it?
Radio flashed...still can't use browser though...bleh.

why flash your radio though? I'm using CM7 RC4 with Pershoot kernel en stock radio... reaching up to 30 hours of uptime (with average usage) and good connectivity.

Good advice. I usually search on youtube for walk throughs. Done that since my G1 days. I also go to theunlockr.com to view their tutorials.

When I run Cyanogen internet is fine. But on Virtuous the Internet will not work. That is why lol.

[Q] Help! Rom Manager not working..among other things

ok...been all over the forums on this issue and not finding a real answer anywhere.
Used zedomax's kernel v2 and Odin to root my Epic4GT. Did that fine. But 3g stops working intermittently. Thought at first it was the kernel, but I've read it's not, but that it's Sprint. OK. Meanwhile, I can't get into backup mode with CWM. Not with Rom Manager or manually. I get this error message: whole-file signature not verified. Install aborted. I can't find a sensible answer to this anywhere! So I was gonna unroot and redo with zedomaxx's v3 root. However>>>NOW I can not get into download mode!!?? What do I do now??

Grab a jig off eBay or amazon. Plug it in and boom!

Google is your friend OP. Maybe if you'd take the time to cruise the forums and learn about your device, you wouldn't have to start a thread and ask a question that has a half dozen threads dedicated to it already! How hard is it to Google "epic touch 4g jig"? Instead you had to write a nasty reply that assures no one will want to help you. Enjoy the freebie cus I'm done with you and your attitude!

@poppygt
If you read my post...I have gone thru all the forums trying to find a solution. But either the answers are just as obscure as yours or else they're so technical that I can't follow it. There has not been one clear answer yet. I spent 6 hours on Friday morning alone looking for the reason and solution. I can't go any further in flashing out of stock rom to anything else until I can do a backup.
I need help.

So are you saying you can't boot into recovery? Look for my thread in Q&A for a thread I started about not being able to boot into Clockwork. XDA member Playya linked me to a thread to flash Clockwork recovery via ODIN. After I did that I was able to get into recovery and make my backup. Hope that helps. I'll check back in a bit.

Pulled Root with Zedo's pulled.tar, the did the EG30 stock recovery. Then redid root with Zedomax's V3.tar. Only this time I pulled my SD card first. I don't know if that is what did it, but...it WORKED! I now have CWM working! Now my only problem is WiFi seems to be broken. Any ideas on that?

I believe that there was a wifi fix in Caulkins ROM thread but make sure you read before you flash it. I'll dig and see if I can find it.

Also when you say your wifi is broken what do you mean? If it's disconnecting from your network go to Settings, WIFI, tap on menu hen advanced and set wifi sleep policy to NEVER.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

The wifi is in a constant "scanning/connecting/disconnecting" loop. won't really connect at all. The Kernel version says "GINGERBREAD.EG30". but if i flashed Zedomax's v3.tar shouldn't have that there? Could that be the issue?
Thanks
