Hi everyone,
I'm desperate, I tried everything and can't root my Wildfire S. I unlock the bootloader, that was easy, but even with the unlocked bootloader I can't install a custom recovery, or root, or install a custom rom... nothing.
When I try to root my device always throws me write-permission problems in the internal memory (read-only internal memory).
When I try to install a custom recovery I get the error "main version is older" and only lets me restart.
When I try to install a custom rom I get the error "No image or wrong image".
I have read all the tutorials on the forum, used these tutorials files but the result is always the same: nothing.
I appreciate any help, advice,... whatever.
Thank you very much for the help and for reading me.
Regards

The problem is that what you've already tried is not obvious to us, only to you. You really not given us much information to go by. Theq86 was trying to help you, so please try to keep a kind tone.

You already tryed this ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439466
You can stop do anything else until CWM recovery flashed, this is required step.
In my manager when you plug your phone into USB select HTC sync mode I have reports that makes the rooting and cwm process work properly

- If root: make wipe dalvik cache, works fine for me, has respected all my apps.
- If not: make factory reset
Congrats for your new root status.

Hey guys ,
This is my first post and I was directed here as the experts will be around . I need your help guys to upgrade my phone Galaxy nexus . I have never did any thing on it . It has the following information that might help you guys to help me
Android version 4.0.4
Kernel version 3.0.8-gda6252b
build number imm76k.i9250jple1
I saw some phones that are rooted and have this wonderful images of Roms . I need to try them but I don't know how
I have downloaded the toolkit program but I dont know what ROM shall I select ?? which one is the best ?
Please guys , teach me how and let me start his journey with you
waiting your heeeeeeelp
start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
recs for a n00b
Since you've never rooted or used a custom ROM before I suggest starting with either mROM or MMuzzy's ROMs. They are close to stock but will get you to Android version 4.2.1
mROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763823
MMuzzy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846
Remember to MAKE A NANDROID. After you use the toolkit to unlock, root, etc. boot into recovery and MAKE A BACKUP. Also, when you root/unlock it factory resets your phone, so anything not on the SD card that you want to keep, backup to your computer.
This is the thread which completely helped when I was new to rooting and all this stuff. No further help was needed. The methods are very well explained here.

I followed every step until I plug my mobile in the fast mode , my computer asks me for drivers .!!!
I have tried to ignore it and I continued the step to flush the ROM , but finally it gives me a message as " Waiting for your Device " >>

I'm glad you're using fastboot.
Search for naked drivers.
Or use the guide in my Sig or stickied at the top of this forum.
Sorry, at work on mobile. No time to link.
Thanks guys ,

No. Need custom recovery and an unlocked phone to install the recovery.

1. use these drivers.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875

Dont rush the root
efrant and jubakuba have both written guides. I suggest not using the tool kit until you know how to use adb/fastboot.

That's what we're doing. You need to read the guides. Not skim. Read.
After rooting my phone and flashing CM10.1, I began to run into some problems. I figured I'd just unroot, so I followed this guide. After successfully completing the procedure, my phone status still reads "modified". Do I need to do a wipe to remove this? Also, was it not a good idea to flash the rom through odin from a source on the internet that I haven't heard of (No offense to SkunkApe, I'm just paranoid)? I just want to be sure my phone is secure and that I'm running stock JB. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I don't know if this means anything, but I can check for updates without my phone telling me that it's modified...

1. Again, it's unsupported, so finding help in the first place will be tough.
2. Anyone who might be willing to help will need details that you have not provided: For example, what did you do? How far did you get? Were there any error messages? Without any more details, you're making it very tough to help you.

You need to download/flash cf-autoroot using Odin for root access.
Here is the download link: http://download.chainfire.eu/354/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltetmo-hltetmo-smn900t.zip
This zip file also contains Odin, so just unzip all files to a new folder in windows and odin flash
the cf-autoroot TAR file, reboot the phone and your good to go.
Good luck!

Hi!
It`s not a Big Problem but you Need a Little Bit time.
I checked your Bootloader Pictures and I think on your M8s was in the past a custom Recovery or a custom ROM installed.
Please check this 2 Threads here in the (M8s) General section:
1/ - Link to voidzero -
2/ - Link to El-Conkistador -
Read this before you Start the work on your device!
Good Luck mate & I`ll stay tuned here for you when you have again questions.

Okay mate!
Here a other Solution for your Problem.
I think this work to 95%!
Download this File:
- Official RUU by HTC for the M8QL_UL -
Make then this:
1/ I say again, download this File,
2/ Connect your M8s with your PC,
3/ Save the .zip File on your external SD Card (microSD),
4/ disconnect your M8s with the PC,
5/ Reboot in the Bootloader and
6/ Wait for the instructions on your Touchscreen.
7/ That`s all but you must before your M8s advance enough Charge!
8/ I wish you good Luck.
When you have again Problems, sure then write here!

I suspect that you have your M8s bought used and not new, or?
If you have a Custom recovery and a Custom ROM flashed so this Message appears in the Boot Splash.
As I said, it is now the Best to contact ckpv5!
I think you are allowed to write him also a PM.
Good Luck funjai!

You need to save the zip file to SD card. Load boot loader and use volume buttons to chose opkv.img file and press power. Back to stock and then try recovery twrp or other.
