i can't root my wildfire s ...

i have a marvel unlocked s on wildfire s.
i can't root my phone because when i go into the recovery mode, the black screen comes up with the 4 lighting keys. i don't know what to do. i read the related posts but nothing seems to help. could you guys please help.. i unlocked my phone for rooting and now i can't do anything.

You can root your phone by using the HTC super tool, just google for it.
I assume you have stock recovery on your phone, then you actually can't really use that recovery. You should try to root it with supertool
and then install CWM with ROM Manager
I hope this came in handy for you!

i tried the supertool but it doesn't work. i tried everything even the clockworkmode recovery, the flashing of cwm works perfectly fine but the recovery mode doesn't show up so that i can install from sd card. only a black screen with key lighted comes up. i tried the things given in the black screen recovery article of xda .. but nothing seems to help. could you help me out to see through this. my moms htc wildfire s which is one year old works perfectly fine but the problem is with my new one.. i also heard that lot of people are experiencing the same.

After unlocking, you have to root the device first then install CWM and take a nandroid backup thru Recovery option.
For rooting you can also use root.zip method. just google it.
To flash CWM, goto Hboot menu and select fastboot, then goto cmd (command prompt) on pc try using fastboot commands to flash boot.img, system.img and recovery.img.
Hope this may be useful.....

bro, this time i flashed the PG76IMG.zip files but when i go into the recovery to flash install from root.zip, the same black screen comes up. this is the problem which i have been having.. the black screen on recovery which makes us do nothing at all..

i think a new custom recovery has to be made for the htc wildfire s inorder to prevent the black screen on recovery. or does anyone know how to root wildfires without the need to go into any custom recovery mode. please help .. this has become a real problem.. i really wish there was a way.

Maybe you need to downgrade your stock ROM (if you still can boot it up so to say).
Look for a RUU for WFS and try to downgrade/upgrade HBOOT and such to an older/newer version.
Sorry that I can't post any links too RUUs, I'm on my phone.
But there is a tread with these in the Dev section I think, but if they don't work you can just google for them.
tbh I have a similar problem with my bro's WFS, I can't even unlock it because of wrong versions a such so I think your problem could be related to this.

I think you you've chosen the wrong cwm. Chose the right one here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
download PG76IMG.zip and you need to install it using fastboot, it will not work using the zip file from your sd card. Make sure you delete that file before attempting what is below (adapted from CafeKampuchia's guide on rooting).
You will need SDK tools for Android, Java runtime, and HTC Sync installed on your Windows computer. Install the SDK tools in a directory named something like c:\android. Put the recovery image in this directory, too, not the zip file.
Boot the phone into HBOOT by turning the phone off, removing the battery, replacing the battery then holding down the power key and volume button. After it scans for PG7610.zip, select FASTBOOT and press the power button then connect the USB cable. The word FASTBOOT will change into FASTBOOT USB. If not, then either your USB drivers for the Wildfire S or Android SDK Tools is not installed properly.
Open a command prompt in Windows and navigate to c:\android
Type the following command: fastboot flash recovery [image name.img]. For example:
c:\android\>fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.img
Hope this will install ClockworkMod recovery properly. (If really press 'thank').

Remember your software version?
Locked or unlocked bootloader?
Never use volume up + power! - some have reported it can brick your device , it's always volume down + power.

Bootloader unlocked and running a custom rom Endeavoru.

Well, if you don't know what ROM it was, best to just pick one and install it.
Make sure you are on clockworkmod 5.8.4.0, then flash ROM and boot.img.

Might sound a bit scilly, but how do I flash, when I cannot get past that screen, htc screen, assuming the only way to flash, is to actually turn phone past this white screen to place rom on phone?.

Hold power and volume down. Should hit the bootloader.
With the latest recovery, you can mount as card as USB and then copy ROM to phone from pc.

Ben is correct,
Flash clockworkmod touch
then you can mount your USB.
-----
Get Android SDK installed on your PC,
Put phone into fastboot USB
Flash clockworkmod touch via adb
Clockworkmod touch - http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8
Fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
Enter recovery, mount USB storage.
All of the above is done whilst phone is plugged into PC
don't flash anything on low battery

Renaming it? - not sure what you mean here.
Plug phone into PC
Put phone into fastboot USB (power + volume down then select fastboot with then power button )
Place CWM.img inside the same folder as adb, fastboot etc within your android SDK installation
Open command prompt on PC
Default installation commands are:
CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
If you installed android SDK to a location of your choice, you will haven to change the first command to that location.
Etc.

Just type the name of the Clockworkmod recovery file you downloaded, it should be recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img if you have downloaded the latest version.
No harm in renaming it but no need either. As it's a long filename, in most recent versions of Windows, you can type the first few letters then hit TAB and Windows should bring up the correct filename.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img

I tried to make it simple for you
http://db.tt/VF9J2eo8
Download that, its already renamed to CWM.img to make it simple for you.
The commands for command prompt if you installed Android SDK to its default location are:
CD c:/Android-SDK/platform-tools
fastboot flash recovery CWM.img
The top command is the location of your fastboot, adB etc within Android-SDK, this is the location you place cwm.IMG that you downloaded above.
You run the 2 commands above after you've put your phone into fastboot USB

I suggest charging your phone whilst you still can, don't be impatient - low battery is the cause of most problems on XDA when people flash.

thanks guys, it worked, phone is alive much appreciated.

I'm a noob too.But let me just share with you,
1. Hold vol down and power button to get into bootloader.
2. Once in,select fastboot then choose recovery.
You should be able to see clockworkmod recovery or TWRP,whichever you installed.But to install them you'll need to do it through fastboot on the command prompt (for Windows) or terminal bash (for MasOS).Make sure you have the recovery.img stored in your computer first before proceeding.If you're not sure about this,then maybe you can Google search it first and I'll guarantee it'll take you back to XDA.
Sorry cos I don't have the links to share.But I hope this reply can enlighten you a bit.Good luck!

htc one x stuck on boot logo

was trying to flash cm10 onto my one x from this website:
pocketnow title "Jelly Bean on the HTC One X with CyanogenMod 10 (Video)"
ended up getting stuck one #8 because i assume "Shift+right click in the browser window" means do that in the android sdk program. now my one x wont be able to boot because on my pc it wont work but im now try to attempt at it with my mac. any suggestions on how i can boot it up? even it i do volume down+power button or volume up+down+power button it restarts but stops at the boot logo. your help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Did you flash the boot.img?

If so then extract the boot.img from the rom you want to use, and copy it to the fastboot folder, then right click and open command prompt in the folder and enter the command fastboot flash boot boot.img

In that state try typing fastboot devices
You should something like HTxxxxxxxxxx fastboot
If the response is blank then you may not have the correct drivers installed for your phone. There are a number of ways to get the drivers; one way is to install PDAnet http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
You don't even have to complete the whole install, just go until the driver is installed. In any case you can uninstall PDAnet and it will leave the drivers on your system.
When fastboot is finally able to recognize your phone then you can flash the boot.img by doing fastboot flash boot boot.img
(this assumes that boot.img is the actual name of the file, it should be unless you renamed it or downloaded it from somewhere)

is fastboot just a folder i create with the boot.img inside of it?

No, fastboot is a tool within the Android SDK. You used it when you unlocked your bootloader.

i bought this phone off another guy who had it rooted and loaded

where is the fastboot folder located in android sdk manager?

Download this file http://www.mediafire.com/?50baad8rykng2j0
Create a folder on your C: drive called fastboot and extract the .zip into the fastboot folder

Not really. Seems the only thing your phone needed to boot was the boot.img. That would have been done in a couple minutes. As already said here: you simply need to put the android sdk on your c: drive, put the boot.img in that folder, go into bootloader and connect your device with your pc, it should say fastboot USB, open command prompt, go to the direction of your sdk folder and use the fastboot command to flash the boot.img. It should then boot.

You need to flash the boot.img from fastboot. Instructions in the Ace Think Tank thread.

Can I put the file PD98IMG.zip sd card, launch the phone in bootloader and so any single system to load?

I'm not sure what you're asking, but read the Ace Think Tank thread in DHD General forums. It has instructions on how to flash the boot.img when your bootloader is unlocked. The process has nothing to do with PD98IMG files.

I'm guessing that your phone is not in fastboot mode. You need to navigate to fastboot from the hboot menu with the volume buttons, then select it with the power button.
To go back to stock, run a RUU.

You need to install the updated drivers for the phone. find a download for: HTCDriver3.0.0.007
Copy the boot.img from the ROM on the root of your SD card.
then
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I think your missing the drivers thats all.
I'm only telling you things that worked for me. these may not be 100% accurate.
hope it works.

I have google apps in a .zip, but no way to access them. My recovery won't load. It's stuck on "checking SD card update..."

I've been running CM for several months, I've never had Sense 5. I installed the new CM Nightly, and it wouldn't boot, so I had to factory reset my phone and flash an old version of CM. It booted, but the Gapps didn't install. Now when I go back into my recovery (Clockwork), it won't load properly.

Ok. Does it matter that I'm using a different computer than the one I used originally?
How exactly do I do this, does my phone need to be on or off or what's the story?
Thanks very much.

phone must be in bootloader and you need fastboot files. how come your phone is on CM10 yet you don't know this fastboot thing?

I had great trouble doing it the last time. It took me several hours and I came close to bricking it a few times. I'm pretty technologically incapable. It's my bootloader thing that won't load anyway, so that's no use to me.
Is there any chance you could be a saint and compile together detailed instructions for me? If not, no worries, but I'm a bit of an idiot.

If you hold shift and right click in side the fastboot folder, it will open a cmd window in that location.
To navigate in cmd you use the CD command
E.g
CD C:\\ will take you to the root of C drive.
CD C:\\fastboot will take you to the folder "fastboot" and so on.

Ok, I've figured out what I was doing wrong. I had my phone plugged into the USB while trying to load the bootloader, and of course that wouldn't work. All is well now, thanks very much.
