FIXED READ EDIT BELOW
Has anyone succesfully unlocked the bootloader while on this firmware with S-ON?
Sasktel Canada WWE 1.58.669.2 PG7611000
I had serious problems with it back when the WFS was first released, I've been stuck on it ever since.
I keep getting ERROR [191]: when trying the ROM on htcdev.. Tried alot of the others also..
More to the point, my question is, has anyone had any progress with this?
Here are my phone details incase this helps.
Model number
HTC-A510a
Android version
2.3.3
HTC Sense Version
2.1
Software Number
1.58.669.2 (CL86884 release-keys)

My phone originaly came with a Euro stock ROM, but it was so long ago I forget which one it was. UK Vodafone maybe.
//EDIT
Okay do as this thread says:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301388
Change firmware number to 1.30.401.0 when asked, and flash to this ROM Gingerbread 2.3.5 (v2.13.401.2).zip :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NETNLZD0
Extract and run installer..
then you will be out of that horrible firmware, then proceed to change your Hboot.
I'm not the creator of these methods just reposting them, miguelca is the creator of the Gingerbread link, so thanks to him.

Nobody has had this issue? Even if you have the same specs, did yours work without a hitch? Maybe I did something wrong?
I'm currently trying to get temp root, then upgrade the hboot, would that work yes? I will be using this tutorial here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301388
basically doing the opposite of what it says lol.

Help getting my desire back to unrooted state

Hello
I am about to sell my desire and would like to get it back to a non modified unrooted state (ill just leave alone my S-OFF if possible), so that when i sell it, it will be able to install OTA updates and such.
Also i would like to get the original recovery back.
Before i modded it it was unbranded, so no rebranding needed.
Thanks in advance
This tutorial should help:
http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
And as far as I know (never tried it tough) it will revert back also to S-ON.
okay i tried doing this, but the installer throw a error 140 says BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR.
My bootloader says BRAVO UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.75.0000
The updater says from
Version:
1.21.405.2
To
Version
1.15.405.3
so prob i need a newer installer but where do i find that?
Use this, those are very old Android 2.1 versions...

[Q] Vodafone AU RUU

Hey All,
Hopefully I'm not totally recovering ground someone has already asked about. But I had a query and I couldn't post under the thread I wanted to ask the question in.
A while back I created a gold card and put the WWE stock RUU on my phone (unbranded my Vodafone AU DHD). I'm still running the stock RUU Android 2.2, I never updated to 2.3. Due to a possible warranty issue coming up, I was thinking I should probably change it back to the Vodafone image. I can't find a Vodafone AU RUU installer for the DHD.
I have been looking at this guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920876
It seems pretty comprehensive, but I'm just wondering if it's the right guide I should be following. The only reason I ask is I have not rooted my phone or installed a custom ROM. All I've done is un-brand the phone with the Stock ROM and a gold card.
Looking in the boot loader it says:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0007
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.03.02.26_M
eMMC-boot
Under Software info it says:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Software number: 1.32.405.6
Is there another way to install the Vodafone ROM or do I need to use Clockwork Mod? And do I need my phone rooted to do this (I've never used Clockwork)? Just want to easiest way to go back to the Vodafone ROM
Thanks in advance and sorry if I'm going over old territory.
You are on the right guide basically looks like you will need to have clockworkmod to get stock vodafone back.

[Q] Can I root my Wildfire S?

Hello, I've read so many different threads about rooting/unlocking the Wildfire S that I am kind of confused if I can root mine or no.
The HBOOT screen reads:
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-O RL
HBOOT-0.90.0000 (I have read that many people have problems rooting with this version?)
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.46.35.00

Also have I read that people with my version have to "skip the RUU step and move to the 2nd step", what is the 2nd step? Where should I start from? I have really read a lot of threads but I'm kind of new to this and I dont want to mess my device up. Thanks everyone.
as i know u must have hboot-1.08.0099 to go trough the htcdev.com method. what is your android ver?

I've seen this too, but I don't know if its fair to say that all phones with HBOOT-0.09.0000 can't be rooted. Have you tried this yet?

That also updates my HBOOT? As much as I have read I have seen that updating the Android verison didn't help with the errors.
And I still would like to know what people mean when they talk about "skipping the 1st step (RUU) and move straight to 2nd" with my version?
If u update your android with RUU it can update anything ^^, i flashed my WFS to HTC EU 2.3.5 (as stock i got 0.90.0000 too, after flashing 1.08.0000), there's an tutorial how to do it with RUU.
About skipping, its to get rom_1 and rom_2 from Bootloader unlock Rom, to use it manualy, but i think its a bit dangerous to skip a some versions like from 0.90.0000 to just 1.08.0099. Also what brand your phone is? Orange. T-mobile. ?
I had 2.3.5 android on HBOOT 0.90.0000 (yea, HBOOT ver. didn't changed after new RUU,strange)
Just aplied the RUU from HTCdev.com (HTC EU 2.13.401.2), unlocked it through HTCdev manual, and then rooted using this TUT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432074

Updating from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 will not update your HBOOT. That's what the process at HTC dev is for. Try that and if that doesn't work, use the link I posted above.

Very useful information. This answers the OP's two questions:
1. Does the 2.3.5 RUU update HBOOT? NO.
2. Can some phones with HBOOT 0.90.0000 be unlocked and rooted? Yes.
Until the OP tries to unlock his phone, I don't know what else we can do to help him.
Well my bad
You just need actuall Android version to match the BT UNLOCK RUU.
I installed the 2.3.5 update and tried running the unlocker from HTCdev, i choosed the right version 2.13.401.2 and it says ERROR 190 Rom is not up to date, when i just updated it?
And when i try that trick from SD card, it says Main Version is older, update fail!
HBOOT still shows as 0.90
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445497 here, we are fighting it together. just Check if version is OK

Hiya folks!
I unlocked my daughter Wildfire S hboot via HTC-Dev when it was first released and upgraded from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 EU to get rid of the 3 bloatware on the original rom, I did not root at the time as it was still in its very infant stage and did not wish to give my daughter my Rooted Desire through bricking hers!
Now the time has come to root as she is constantly telling me of a space shortage...I know we've all been there..so thinking the Hboot was still unlocked I ran through HTC super tool 3 , tried a couple of times with no success so realized there must be something I've missed, I checked the hboot was still unlocked in the pink text I believe it was to find that it no longer states unlocked, locked or any extra text just,

Go to htcdev and follow instructions to unlock your bootloader.Once it's unlocked, you should see "UNLOCKED" at the top when you boot ur phone.
And then you can root the phone.

OK Ta I wondered if I had to do it again, I guess as I have already updated to 2.3.5 from the first time I can skip that part and precede to straight step 1 ?
Did you tried this? I had problem with rooting my wfs, I can't find script i used right now. I'll update this post if i will find it.
What happened is that the 2.3.5 update changed your HBOOT from the previous one.......Go to htcdev.com start the unlock process and when prompted to download an RUU........ just download the RUU with the software more than the one you are having..... in your case the Europe RUU and just follow the instructions thereafter.....
Right got 'ERROR 190 ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED' please upgrade to 2.13.401.3 to apply this RUU, can I use a different RUU csoulr66 other than EU?
Wish I'd done this in one hit rather than in parts! Thanks in advance all!!!
You're 100% sure that you grabbed proper RUU? According to error you get and htcdev it should be this:
HTC EU 2.13.401.3 PG7610000 - sry can't give you direct link because of forum limitation for users under 8 posts
have you made a goldcard????? Because you will need one to run an RUU

I have a unlocked phone but I never hear about goldcard, are you sure it's needed ?
A goldcard is used to debrand the CID. Without a goldcard, you cant install diags/downgrade/etc because the CID is branded with your carrier.
I had this problem originally, all you have to do is run a stock rom RUU (From the list supplied by football in the stickies) with a goldcard. Then go back to the HTC dev website and upgrade the hboot.

All done, I could not down load any of the links from 'footballs' thread, busy..no free slots etc , so I found a Spanish site and upgraded to 'Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989' then all worked as it should following the instructions on the HTC DEV site, rooted and running SENSELESS_2.3.5_jermzii_v.1.2, thanks all!!

[Q] unlock bootloader- none of RUUs in Htcdev web seem to work!

Hello. I have a problem. Namely I've tried to unblock my HTC Wildfire s but I still have to update my rom version which is already on my phone. The problem is that none of these versions available on htcdec are not compatible with the version that was already installed on my phone. Is there any way of updating? I Would be grateful if someone could explain me what should I use? I've seen many websites and I still can't fix my problem.

you have android 2.3.3 strange.its very old.try to update your phone by OTA.then you will get new version which is 2.26 so you no need to update your rom version via htcdev (you can skip that part) and then unlocked bootloader easily and then root your phone.
for OTA. go to system settings>about phone>software updates and update your phone.

oh little confuse because htc released 2.3.5 update in 2011 i think after i bought my phone and also htc released one another update in 2012 for software.
so if you owned wildfire s,it should be updated. try to do factory reset and then might it ll update.give it a shot.
without update you can't root your phone because htc unlocked phones which have atleast firmware 2.13 (android 2.3.5).
good luck
I made factory reset, it helps, phone update it self to 2.3.5 and now i gave him a new life with CM .
Thanks for helping

you dont need to update your hboot.its already updated i guess.
check your software number in phone its like 2.26.401.3 okay.
when you go to htcdev you should skip that part because your phone has latest 2.26 update..that bootloader update part is only for who have 2.13 software version.
