Hello, just spent 5 hours trying to root my 2.3.5 pg76240 TMO US wildfire s. From my understanding the only way to root it is to do some magic using ruu from htcdev but there are none available for my version of the phone.
Do I have any other options? Basically, I want the root just to be able to uninstall htc and tmo apps from the phone.
I used this method and it worked like a charm. Running 2.3.5 and now link2sd which has finally solved the memory problem of the phone.
The forum won't let me post links yet, but if you google this:
"[How-To] HTC Bootloader unlock your T-Mobile US Wildfire S"
you will find the technique on the androidcentral board.
thanks!!! wasted 8 hours yesterday but now this worked!
Sure am glad I came here today, thanks guys.
does anyone have an unbranded US rom for this phone?

Got an HTC Desire from work on O2. We had it unlocked the other day by O2 and I'm now running it with an Orange SIM. I thought that once unlocked Froyo would be available but when I check the software update I'm shown that I've got 2.1 running and no updates available.
Help!

You've probably got a branded desire, you would need to flash an unbranded rom and then search for updates I think.
Hi mate,
If you use the Root meathod by search the forum for Unvolked meathod install the recovery program by following the guide, then putting the flash zip update froyo rom from this forum on your sd card, backup using nandroid then flash and when phone restarts you have updated 2.2 android on the phone.
Any problems send me a msg.
i dig out some instructions for you, that i followed, the guys on here are excellent when it comes to helping you, see my post help please, in development sections.
Post below :
www.rootmydroid.co.uk then click "desire" on the right

Yes. That would be the quickest way to get Froyo 2.2.
It will also void your warranty though.
That is true, however HTC state if you root your HTC at your own risk,
but my phone provider stated if i have any problems they don't check.
Im with Virginmedia. mobile. who are putting the rom out next month and your have to download and zip so you will need to root it to do that.
Thanks

Hi guys,
I know my question maybe dumb, but I am not as much an expert in this android business.
So, can I use Unrevoked to root my desire if it is locked on Vodafone (Romania)? Can I debrand or unlock it, via a ROM , a MOD or anything simillar? Or only in specialized centers?
Thanks for your ideas.
It is possible to root and debrand your desire using the unrevoked method and to use a custom ROM.
If it's a branded phone, you may need to use a gold card. If it's recent model, then you may need to downgrade the boot loader to an earlier version. There are some excellent guides out there (see this post for links).
A friend of mine believed that his HTC Legend was still SIM locked after all this, so I'm not entirely sure you'll be able to unlock the phone that way.
Thanks man for the quick reply. I used unrevoked with no issues on my previous Desire (which I sold to try the nokia N8) but that was not locked. Now I have a chance to get a locked one at a more reasonable price and that is why i was wondering. So practically it is ok, I just need to root so that I can have a few minor tweaks like on my previous one. No major stuff: just for instance installing the ROM manager or backup pro or A2SD+. So if this is possible I dont need the phone to be unlocked, as I actually am on Vodafone.
Trying to find a stock, unrooted 2.1 or 2.2 image for a US Cellular CDMA Desire, for warranty. I have been lookin for a couple days and have yet to find. Found several links on the xda forums but they were for rooted or nonstock images.
Didn't find one other than verizon's on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667
Search function on the forums has not been workin for me as well, always get a temp. unavailable error, so please no search flames..
Thanks for any help here
You can get the stock 2.2 ruu off the USCC web site

Yep sure is, installed and works great (for stock). No issues no glitches, thanks for getting me in the right direction.
I would like to find a stock 2.1 to downgrade my Desire with to get it rooted. Anyone got one of those? I have found stuff, but none of it will work with the CDMA version.

you don't need to downgrade to root. Use unrevoked.
Unrevoked will not work on 2.2 CDMA Desire unless it was already rooted on 2.1 before 2.2 was installed

Yep, that's why I am looking for a way to get back to 2.1. I would do it the gold card way, but it seems to only work on non-cdma phones for the desire.

Yeah I saw that but haven't heard about anyone actually trying it on a USCC phone and what the effects are.
Thanks though
I picked up a Desire yesterday to try to start work on it also. I've been doing dev work on the Mesmerize since it came out and also for the Showcase (Cellular South).
Not that you guys probably care, but I'm a USCC Engineer and have access that has helped me out a lot to get the Mesmerize to where it's at today (of course with lots of help from other devs on the Fascinate side as well as the new guys with me). Unfortunately, things aren't as plentiful in the HTC firmware bin or I would have brought a 2.1 RUU over here a long time ago. On the Samsung side, if a customer brought a phone in to the store and had jacked it up, the in store tech had a stock image of the 2.1 firmware that he/she could flash back on the phone and it would be restored to it's factory state and the customer would be sent on their way. With the Desire, this doesn't seem to be the case. There was no factory image to flash to, so phones were swapped and sent in for repair.
I'm sure that the guys from unrevoked will probably figure this out before I even come close, but I just wanted to pop in and say hey and let you know that you have a friend on the inside (probably not the only one) that's working on things also. Feel free to hit me up. I'm always available for questions, comments, and suggestions.

What he said!
Even temp-root will do just fine for me...
I don't want to downgrade my ROM, I don't want custom ROM... I don't even need a custom recovery installed.
I just need root access for 60 seconds so i can run Lucky Patcher.

What about Advanced Ace Hack Kit (AAHK)? You can Google for it; it's not posted here. You could also go to the thread in my signature for some beginner guides.
Super one click only works when you are already S-OFF. Use the advanced ace hack kit.

does downgrade means going back to 2.3.3?
Hey all, this may have been asked before but I did a search and couldn't find a thread quite like it!
I am currently running Android 2.3.3 and HTC Sense 2.1 on my HTC Desire S. I have used the Revolutionary method to S-OFF and root the phone, which allowed me to uninstall branded bloatware and add some interesting apps.
I have not been able to update the phone as quite frankly I have no idea what I'm doing, and the OTA update will brick the phone. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do to get the latest version of Android and HTC Sense?
I'm in the UK on the Three network. After doing an extensive search for the specific RUU matching that, I can't seem to find it unfortunately.
Many thanks for your time.

Well this is the desire section, not desire s. Post here for better halp.
Also its probably better to flash a custom rom, since you have already s-offed and i assume you have installed a custom recovery.
Check the desire s developement section for a rom you like and flash it.
Ah, my apologies, I didn't see a Desire S forum when I looked. I'll follow your advice!
