Hi all,
I want to say, that I've read many of articles/tutorials of what I'm trying to do. Anyway I'm trying to install Cyanogene mod (ROM ? ) to my HTC Wildfire. I've downgrade it before from Froyo to Eclair (for some reasons ). I was trying to root it with Unrevoked but it doesn't work. I also try Revolutionary but it doesn't work too ! Anyway I'm trying to install ClockWorkMod Recovery now . I've install it via ROM manager, but it doesn't work (seems it's installed but stock recovery is enabled ). My HBoot version is : 1.01.0001 . S-ON (I think S-OFF should help but I don't know how to disabled it ). I'm getting crazy with this.
Please help me anyone.
Greetings.
Unrevoked will not help u and it is necessary to s-off ur mobile...
What exact procedure u adopted for using revolutionary?

unrevoked
Thx for reply.
I know that I should have s-off before I use unrevoked but I can't figure out with it. I ran unrevoked and also revolutionary on two platforms : Linux and Windows xp. I just enabled usb debugging in my htc and then pluged in phone, and then ran unrevoked/revolutionary as root.
Anyway is there only hardware method to gain s-off on wildfires ?
Greetings
Go to revolutionary.io or just Google it....download window platform file and fill up the form...do it cautiously while entering ur mobile serial no. Which can be found on the mobile box....copy the no. Generated...it is alphanumeric known as beta key...now plug ur mobile to window pc debugging mode on of ur mobile....run revolutionary and when ask enter beta key cautiously not mixing letter o with number zero...press enter u will have s-off...many user had get s-off with multiple time use of software

I tried it mamy times but I fot following error: " failed to root ". Every time...
Dude you have to get S-OFF using Revolutionary or get S-OFF using an XTC Clip hardware box. If you don't, no matter how many variations or versions of Unrevoked you try, you will ALWAYS get an error.

Yea, but revolutionary doesn't work and I can't figure out why. I heard about xtc clips, but it's expensive tool. Anyway how you 3xeno get s-off ?

I got via Revolutionary. And if you put proper details, it may be possible for members here to help you. You know, simply saying "It doesn't work" doesn't enable anyone to help you in anyway. There can be 1001 reasons why something doesn't work.
Ok, so what info do you need ?
Here is some details which I know :
HBoot version : 1.01.0001
Android : Eclair 2.1 (downgraded from Froyo 2.2)
Phone : HTC Wildfire (Buzz)
I think that's all info about my phone. Anyway I tried to use revolutionary from 2 different PC's on Linux and also on Windows (Win 7 and XP , Linux was Ubuntu jaunty jackalope and natty narhwal ). I'm getting following error an every time : "Failed to get root ;< " , on every try.
Post everything you get on the Revolutionary Screen. From the start to the end, for a beginning. "Failed to get root" on Revolutionary? It still sounds like you are using Unrevoked.
i can be silly at this point and sorry for that bt did u installed android windows driver before running revolutionary???
Ankurcul : yes of course
Anyway I finally get S-OFF with Revolutionary tool whitch is realy working
I shouldn't downgrade my android to 2.1 - that's the point. That's revolutionary couldn't take s-off. I've upgraded it to 2.2 (Froyo) again and revolutionary works pretty nice
I've also installed cwm recovery , and I'm going to install cyanogene .
Thank you all for helping me
Nb : I've got help on revolutionary irc.
k...just hit thank button if u really found me helpful lol...
Of course I've installed them
Anyway I finally get S-OFF with Revolutionary tool. I get help from Revolutionary team on their irc . I want to thank you all for interestig in my problem and for helping
I'm installing Cyanogene mod on my HTC Wildfire right now

just fill out the form after you download from revolutionary.io. use your serial key in settings --> about phone --> phone identity
zerge root taking to long +5min. is it normal? doin it with usb debuging enabled. or i should run it in fastboot
This is the first time that I try to mod my Desire, so I would like to ask some (maybe silly) questions just-in-case:
1) Do I have to do everything listed into "[Video Tutorial] Noob Proof Everything Desire Guide", or does revolutionary let me skip some passages? Which?
2) Should I simply connect the Desire with the usb in debugging mode and launch the .exe, like installing a RUU? And after that proceed with the points from 5 and so on of the guide above?
I'm sorry if I could have asked some questions whose answers could easily be found elsewhere, but I prefer to be sure before using a pre-release tool... And I am quite astonished by the difference from the "complexity" of unrevoked+alpharev and the simplicity of revolutionary... Is that really so simple?
Thanks a lot, and thanks A LOT to revolutionary team!
wonderful news, going thru this now so wish me luck.
Doesn't work for me
It days invalid serial.

Works like a charm
G'day peeps,
I really didnt want to post this. Ive scoured for hours and hours though and although Ive found lots of downgrade threads from Gingerbread to Froyo the reported Radio version is always different to mine. As is the software version.
So heres my predicament. I (stooopidly) upgraded to Gingerbread but want root access!
The only way I can see me being able to get root access is if a downgrade is possible?
Here's my phone report
HTC Desire (NOT HD)
Android Version 2.3.3
Baseband Version 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23
Build Number 3.14.405.1 CL96875 release-keys
Software Number 3.14.405.1
I believe my Hboot to be 1.06 or something.
Do I have any chance at all? And if so where can I find some destructions?
Thanks guys
http://revolutionary.io
You can root gingerbread, go to revolutionary.io
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Thanks guys. I had actually bookmarked http://revolutionary.io as a possible.
Im very pleased, now I have performed an entire backup and flashed cyanogenmod v7 (stable)
Runs like a dream and vrey customisable too
Now Ive a few more questions?
I am interested in trying out a few more roms to find the "one" I think I could be happy with for a while.
Heres are the roms Im interested in:
Virtuous Unity v2.35.0
Uncommon Sense
Sense-o-Villain
and very interested in TwoPointTwo
However, Warm for example states I need to download radio/wiimax updates.
Other roms have similiar requirements. Like a CM7 Hboot rev2 etc.
I've tried to work our if its safe or not for me to instll any of these and as far as I can tell it isnt.
Thanks again for all the help
Unable to downgrade
I tried all methods of downgrading but there is no success. But I have successfully rooted my HTC Desire running 2.3.3 with revolutionary.io method + CWD + su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.
Is there anyone in this world downgraded Gingerbread to Froyo?? I also have the same radio version 5.17.05.23 , but whenever I try to downgrade it says "main version is older update failed".

what is the ruu that u used?
if u want a froyo rom, just flash a rom from the recovery
if u want go back to stock froyo (why u should do this? u need warranty?) then fastboot flash the bravo downgrader hboot from alpharev.nl then the froyo ruu
Teppic74's downgrader used to downgrade 2.2 to 2.1 regardless of Hboot. The only thing it needed was temp root which it did for you.
Obviously the exploit used to root Froyo no longer works in GB, but if it already has root, it may work.
Heres the thread.
Although there is some question about erase size 40,000 devices so I would keep an eye on this thread for information purposes rather than jum,ping in and breaking things

its reported to work millions of time..the bravo downgrader is a 0.93 hboot..and the last froyo ruu has the same hboot version...
anyway when u have s-off, with fastboot u can flash every hboot u wish (its not like the ruu, there is no check in fastboot flash command)
I tried that myself and it failed due wrong bootloader version.

mean u can't fastboot flash an older hboot over a new one? which were ur hboots?
the bravo downgrader hboot from alpharev doesn't have a downgrade protection, over that u can run every ruu to overwrite it, thats what aplharev say

I had the same problem, the only solution that worked for me was this:
1. do your backups
2. use revolutionary.io to S-OFF and CWM
2. get
Code:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe
3. run it and let it downgrade the Android to 2.2
4. root using unrevoked 3 (not able to use external links yet, google it up)
Hope it will help

Hi peeps, just got through a saga of rooting/flashing my Desire HD, so turned my attention to what I thought was the easier task of rooting a Wildfire.
I've installed/uninstalled HTC-Sync , I've installed the hacked USB andriod drivers, I've set the phone up ready in USB root debugging mode etc....
...but when running unrevoked it seems to go through the motions correctly ...but it never completes. The phone just reboots very slowly and the unrevoked app just sits hanging there saying 'its safe to restart if this doesn't work'.
But when I do my little test of running titanium back-up, no root access given :-(
are there any alternative methods to root which don't involve unrevoked. Such as creating a goldcard like with my DHD?
You need to get s-off with revolutionary, take a look at the reference guide(It's sticky). Sry I can't link it coz I'm on my phone

I have searched for HOURS trying to find a why and even tried combining some methods with the same end result. :-( Surely between us... "the world wide web" we can find a way. I'm not a genius but I learn very quickly. Any help is greatly appreciated. So far it says it can't be done, but I have faith that we are better than that. So what do you think?
My desire has the updated android 2.2 with the new hboot 1.06 not rooted and s-on.
hi there,
head over to http://revolutionary.io/ and s-off your device, (make sure you have USB debugging selected in settings on your phone, and when asking for your beta key select: Desire CDMA, and select your 1.06 hboot), then download the superuser from http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and flash that in recovery
if you need any help pm me
I have tried that. One of the requirements is that it must be rooted. I can not root my phone using Revolutionary because it is not supported yet. You can S-off the desire Hboot 1.06 but I cannot find ways to root and you must be rooted before you s-off to my knowledge. Please correct me if I am wrong. I will try again though. Thank you.
Unrevoked 3 runes through everything PERFECT until the very end. It says Desire was a TRIUMPH and under that then states "internal error nand root?" I just want to root this so i can flash and install cyanogen 7.
Your device does not need to be rooted to run revolutionary,and it is supported I checked
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
When I do that it gets stuck at waiting for fast boot.......
done.. had to do it a bit tricky but good to go now. fully rooted with s-off running cyanogen 7.0.3
Unrevoked 3 program gets stuck at "Waiting for root...”
I have been trying to root my device for last 3 days .I have done enough research and gone through various forms .
Following the guide ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035 ) successfully got my device S-OFF using Revolutionary .
In step 2 : according to guide downloaded and tried
“RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3 .35.15.31_release_130814_signed_2”
Got stucked with non-working touchscreen.
Again downloaded and tried “RUU_Buzz_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.24.707.1_Radio_13.5 5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_161113_signed”
Now touchscreen is working but it is showing android 2.2.1 again .So what's the point of downgrading ?
Run Unrevoked and it is unable to gaining root.
It shows :
Running preboot seq….
Waiting for reboot…..
Running root…
Waiting for root…..( I have waited for 20 mints but it keeps saying this)
[ USB debugging is enabled
Usb drivers are installed
Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone. ]
After all this mind boggling i have reached here :
Android 2.2.1
Revolutionary
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
MI CROP-0622
RADIO 3.35.20.10
Should I use different version of unrevoked ? 3.31 ? here..( http://theunlockr.com/2010/09/20/how...evoked-method/ )
But again in guide “androidybloidy” says in step 3 :”Download the test version of unrevoked (here). Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error
"Validation error, backup CID is missing".”
What to do now ? Do I need to downgrade to 2.1 éclair to use revoked ? Do I need to download Éclair RUU for India ? If “yes” where can I get the download link ? Some forums say I don’t need to if I have already got S-OFF.I am totally lost.
Now I feel like tearing my hair out.
Any ideas ? How can get around it?
Any help would be appreciated.Thanks in advance.
I wanted to try the method suggested by “3xeno” on #83
http://joel5121.blogspot.com/2011/06...-tutorial.html
but under “clockwork recovery” the link to “fastboot tool “ redirects to http://htcdev.com/ and there is no tool like “fastboot tool” on that page.Again the download link to “recovery for wildfire”in step 4 is broken.
What should I do ?
Should I follow this ? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1130044
Is there a way out ?
feel like throwing my HTC out the window:confused:
SOLVED
Finally installed ClockworkMod recovery and Rooted the device.
are you trying to put a custom rom on the phone or just root it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12188132&postcount=15 follow this guide to put a custom recovery on it, follow method 2.
now, if your going to flash a custom rom just do this from your new recovery and your new rom will have been pre rooted. (well, it should be ) if not then im pretty sure that there is a flashable superuser zip that will give you root once you`ve s-offed but i cant remember where i saw it but i think tht would be youe best bet without having to downgrade again.
how did you make it work cause im having the same problem
yeah if you said its working how did you make it work :was it using the non-test version or did u try something else
If you want to de-brand (downgrade Hboot from 1.01.0002 to 1.01.0001), root or flash I have a comprehensive guide to do that
It's in my sig
