Hi. Firstly yes I have read, thread after thread after thread and I am now the owner of a useless phone.
Rom RUU_Buzz_TMO_UK_1.14.110.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_130442_signed
Kernal no clue right now
Radio 3.35.15.19
Hboot 6.01.1002
s- off
Tweaks / coustomizations you installed. none now
Memory card partitions info. it is partitioned but I cant remember now what size.
Brief history.
I was running latest CM7 but could not get GPS at all. I tried to flash various radio updates and got nowhere. In fact I only successfully flashed one and then I lost all my contacts and the damn phone decided not to sync with gmail so I thought sod it I will go back to stock and ran RUU_Buzz_TMO_UK_1.14.110.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.19_release_130442_signed exe.
Now I am stuck on the safety screen and bootloader is saying there is no backup etc.
Now. I have read through various threads, tried various things but I cant get teh damn thing to work.
Please dont say I should read this thread etc because I can assure you I have just been through 4 hours worth of them today and christ knows how many on this and other sites over the past month trying to get this bloody phone to work properly.
Can anyone give me some clear instructions where I can find out what my exact modle is, as I am beginning to think the processor etc in this phone is different to the ave Wildfire.
I dont care if its branded, stock, modded. I need it to txt, phone, www and GPS. Right no I just got the safety bar and no way of accessing the menus.
Chers. Chris
Im guessing I need to drop a rom in the SD card and recover that image.
But what ROM Ive downloaded every single one I can find. When I run recovery, there is a picture of a phone with a caution sign on it.
Step 1 - Recovery fix
Hi there!
The problem is that you don't have the correct recovery installed or this has been corrupted. Now, before we get started I just need to ask one question, as stupid as it may seem, I just need to make sure.
Do you own a HTC Wildfire (i.e. Buzz) or a HTC Wildfire S?
If it's the S one DO NOT try this fix! It may be that you have been trying to install the wrong soft on your phone an that's why it's not working. Instead, go to the HTC Wildfire S section of the forum.
However, if it's the regular HTC Wildfire (i.e. Buzz) you can proceed.
I've put together a little fix for you, just follow the steps below:
0. Download attached file and extract it somewhere easy to access.
1. Start phone in bootloader. ( volume down + power button)
2. Wait for phone to settle. (detects SD card, etc.)
3. Using volume buttons go to FASTBOOT and then select it by pressing the power button.
4. Connect your phone to the computer via USB cable.
6. Browse to the folder where you extracted the attachement and run as administrator the file flashrecovery.bat (right-click and select 'Run as administrator')
7. Follow the steps on screen.
8. All done! Now you should be able to go into RECOVERY to install a custom ROM.
OK I finally flashed a RUU that is working. Its from Japan with English option. But I have a working phone. It just wont access the market or any email and thinks im asian.
Has anyone got a working stock rom for a UK buzz please.

I was just about to write step 2 of the fix I gave above.
However, if you just want a HTC stock ROM just install the one below:
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------
Since your phone is S-OFF with the Revolutionary HBOOT, the HTC stock ROM won't be able to overwrite the HBOOT which is a good thing.
However, it WILL overwrite the recovery so if you want to install the recovery at a later date you will have to go through the Step 1 listeb above.

Hi yes its a Wildfire (buzz). something odd about it as I flashed 5 RUU's and none of them worked and now im up and running on a Korean language with English option.
Just stick onto that Korean ROM and then run the one in my previous link. That is the HTC Stock World Wide ROM - it should work on ANY HTC Wildfire (Buzz).

Cheers. I am not a lover of the stock HTC rom, but I need the GPS to work and CM7 just doesnt and I have no intention of becoming a wizzkid at tweaking phones just to get them to do what they should, which it seems CM7 will make me.
At least I got teh phone to work without help which I am chuffed about. But I cannot even connect to market contacts or facefarce with this present one.

What I meant is that now that you have a ROM installed you don't need to go through the steps that I was planning to explain.
Instead, if you want to get the stock HTC ROM all you have to do is to run the RUU that I mentioned in one of my previous posts.
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.22.405.1_Radio_13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_160191_signed.exe
As I was also saying, this ROM is definitely going to work fine on your phone.

If you really want ROOT, that's easy enough to do now that you have the ROM I recommended. There's 2 ways depending on the HBOOT that you now have now your Wildfire. The stock ROM may have overwritten the Revolutionary HBOOT so you first need to check that:
1. Start you phone in boot mode (volume down + power) and see what the version number is.
2. If it's Hboot 1.01.0001 then you have HTC stock HBOOT so now you also have to look at the very first line to see if it's S-OFF or S-ON.
3. Otherwise, if it's Hboot 6.01.1002 (or anything that starts with 6) then you're still on Revolutionary HBOOT.
Now, based on the findings of the above, chose the option that suits you:
Option 1: for Revolutionary HBOOT 6.01.1002
1. Simply follow the steps in my very first post in this thread to restore your recovery. (this will have been overwritten by the stock RUU).
2. Copy the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip (see attached) file to your SD card, boot into recovery and install the zip. Now, you'll have root.
3. [Optional - only needed for some apps to run in root] Go to the Market and download BusyBox then install it in both locations, i.e. system/bin and then system/xbin.
4. That's it! You're all rooted now!
Option 2: for HTC stock HBOOT 1.01.1001 with S-ON
1. Go through the Revolutionary process again and at the end it will ask you if you want to install a recovery. Make sure that you DO!
Now follow steps 2 - 4 from Option 1 above.
Option 3: for HTC stock HBOOT 1.01.1001 with S-OFF
Well, this is very unlikely to happen but if it does you can either:
1. Try to use Unrevoked and then you may need to do step 3 from Option 1.
2. Or simply go straight to steps 2 - 4 from Option 1 above.
THAT'S IT! Now you should have root again!

I had this problem initially on my SLCD desire 0.93 hboot.
The reason is that it need a custom root file to loaded through unlocker. This is available through XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9245153]
recovery-RA-desire-v1.7.0.1-R5.1-0.93.rar
after this it rooted perfectly

Go through this process if all else fails for you.
1. Make a goldcard (google it so you dont have to mess with hex anymore).
2. If your phone isnt branded download the latest ruu (or earlier if you want a lower hboot, but that doesn't matter anymore).
2a. If your phone is branded, find the ruu for your carrier.
3. Optional - if you are rooted, then nandroid, if not, back up apps etc if you want them.
4. Install HTC Sync (for drivers).
5. Put your phone in to fastboot (power + back button).
6. Connect USB and run ruu.
7. Once all that's done, select usb debugging and run unrevoked.
Worked for my messed up Desire!
- If step 6 is giving you hassle, go to device manager, find android and select drivers from a list, there should only be one or two extra.

oh well, comes down to formatting the phone, i'll give it a shot.. thank you very much

PS: Thanks everyone who took their time to post and help me
Pls refer to this page , sorry for my poor english.
连接手机和电脑，打开CMD（开始->运行->输入CMD，回车）
这里我一不小心，用了cygwin，所以显示上和你的会不太一样，没影响，仅仅是显示不太一样而已
输入：adb shell（确定你装好了adb，不过，你能遇到这个问题，应该就是装了吧）
然后
输入命令：/system/__unrevoked_su（使用unrevoked传至手机中的东东来获取root执行权限）
输入：cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 >/sdcard/misc.img（将misc分区镜像导出到sd卡上的misc.img文件中，强调一次，cat后面是有一个空格的！）
输入：getprop ro.cid（获取正确的CID号）
上一命令会有一个返回值：11111111（这个仅作为举例，请记下你获取到的值）
输入：exit（退出root）
输入：exit（退出adb shell）
输入：adb pull /sdcard/misc.img（将misc.img文件复制到CMD执行路径下，例如图中是Kitchen这个文件夹中，手动复制亦可，自由变通）
第一步完成了（这个时候没必要把CMD关了，待会还要用的）
现在打开一个十六进制编辑器，我用的winhex（提示镜像文件为磁盘时，选择否）
从0位置开始进行编辑。将上面获得的CID值写入，最后一位以00填充作为结束，如下图
然后就是要把这个misc.img文件重新刷回手机了。
输入：adb push misc.img /sdcard/new-misc.img（将该好的misc.img传到SD卡中，命名为new-misc.img，手动复制亦可，自由变通）
输入：adb shell
输入：/system/__unrevoked_su
输入：/data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/new-misc.img（将修改过的misc.img文件重新刷回手机）
输入：exit
输入：exit
然后现在再按照unrevoked的使用方法再来一遍，不出意外的话，一切OK了。
其实以上总结一下，很简单：从手机中将misc分区镜像弄出来，并获得正确的CID号，然后写入得到的镜像文件中，刷回。搞定
Try this version of unrEVOked:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/dd5yh9
As I mentioned above in Chinese
1. Pull out the misc partition to a misc.img
2. Write the correct CID into this misc.img file
3. flash back
You can traslate the Chinese into English with google traslate
Try unrevoked version 3.21 seems to work fine

Hi
I have rooted my phone with this Unrevoked Method (http://lifehacker.com/5789397/the-always-up+to+date-guide-to-rooting-any-android-phone)
And then I installed the Rom Mangaer (v4.3.2.3) and pushed the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and that installed as ut shuld I think.
But if I try to hit the Fix Permissions, I get an error, and this started me to read about this. And it looks like many people don`t like this program. And that it is not verry dificult to do it manually eather. If thats thru.
But the question is, do I have done what I need to do it manualle, with the guide for HTC Desire GSM in that threead I gave a link to? Yes, I have the SuperUser Permissions on the phone. But that is also the only thing I can tell that I have. And of course the Rom manager.
But because of the fault in the Fix Permissons, I do not now have the full belive in that program.
Can someone pleace help me?
I have read these threeds:

But I`n not shore about it.

All operations you can do with rom manager can be done in recovery, too. Rom manager is a horrible software which causes many system problems here.
So I highly recommend to do all operations "manually" in recovery instead of using rom manager.
To get into recovery boot your phone into bootloader (start it with pressed volume down and power button), select recovery with volume buttons and enter with power button.
I hope this could help you.

Hi again.
Thanks for answer.
But I have some more question(s).
I trie to read the links I have posted over. And there it says that I have to make a gold card.
But if the Rom Manager does the same as the recovery console (volume down + power on > recovery) why do I have to make the Gold Card?
And if I don`t have to, is there a good way to do this.
Other than use the ROM Manager.
Fells like I`m complitly lost here now. Sorry for this.
Kindly.
The goldcard is only for the situation, when you want to flash a ruu and get a cid error. If you put your created goldcard in your desire, this cid error will not appear and you can flash the ruu. Here is a good guide how to create one:
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
So I only need the Goldcard to use the RUU?
And if I don`t have misunderstood. RUU is just original ROMs from HTC?
So if I just want to use non original, it is not necessary to make one?

Ruu are original roms from htc/your provider.
Making a goldcard is never necessary. Better have one and do not need it than need it, but don't have one.
Hi
I have installed the rom manager, but now if I try to install an normal update from HTC it self. It downoads and restart, I only get the droid with anouncement sign. And then I have to push the power button to get an menu. And that menu is the Clockwork menu.
Then it dont install the update.
Is this something with the clockwork to do?

Is there anyone that can help me with this?
If it is the ClockWork that is the problem?
How to disable?
Kindly
NEVER EVER install an official update on a rooted phone. It will screw things up.
If you already installed it, then possibly you have to wipe everything and flash a custom ROM again.
If that does not help - use a RUU.
2. You can't disable CWM - you can use a RUU to get rid of it.
Ok. Thanks for answer.
I will not trie it any more.

Hi all and greetings from New Zealand....
I have a Telecom NZ Wildfire S (A510b) and really want to get rid of the HTC Sense to give more space (and more features).
I have previously rooted & modded my Huawei 8150 (CM7 2.3.5), and thought it would be an easy process on the Wildfire, but I find it aint so.
The only way I've managed to get to the bootloader is via HTC SuperTool V2 as the usual Vol- and PWR don't work on this phone. Are there any other ways to bootloader?
I've looked thru HTCDev and seen the new process including downloading the RUU, however my phone does not show there so was hesitant to try that method.
Anyone got any suggestions as to how to proceed from here for my WFS?
Cheers,
Aaron
You need to power off then remove battery
Then replace battery
Press volume down and power
Then you should be where you need to be mate.
Alternatively in your settings I think its under power in sense Roms, turn off fast boot and repeat steps above.
Only difference being you don't need to remove battery.
Thanks, I'll try that today, it's off to work now.. selling.. funnily enuff, Wildfire S's amongst other stuff.
This how to do it mate, worked for me! Hope it works for you
Ok so I brought the phone from Telecom, it says its a A510b, model number PG76120 (found behind the battery, just below the SIM card slot)
So what I have done to achieve this result:
1: Simply sign up to the HTCdev website www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ once done, select the HTC Wildfire S from the drop list to begin
2: After accepting all the terms and agreements bla bla their is a list of ROMS, their was only 3 options for the model that I have PG76120, so I downloaded the HTC Thailand RUU
3: Ok so if you end up running the RUU it will tell you that the ROM is out of date with an error message, what I found out (this took me all day...) when you first open the RUU (this is if you run Windows) their will be a Temp folder made with all the files that the RUU needs to run, if you search the Temp Folder (usually found under the user folder in Documents and Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Temp) these files will only exist if you leave the RUU Program open, so just open it up and move the window to the side, search under the Temp folder for rom
4: You will find 2 zip folders named rom_01 and rom_02, copy these 2 zips to your desktop
5: Now change the name of rom_01 (im not 100% sure if its 01 or 02 that you need to do first, I cant remember) to PG76IMG and copy it over to a microSD, insert into your phone and boot into HBoot, it will go through the normal process of detecting and then opening the zip and will ask you if you wish to update the radio to v2 (it should only ask to update the radio, because you need to do it first before you use the second file which asks to update both the radio and hboot) allow to do so and it will do its thing and when completed ask to reboot.
6: Now change the name of the second rom (if I have the order right this should be rom_02) to PG76IMG, remove the first file you put on the microSD and replace it with second, back into HBoot, it will read the file and ask you to update HBoot and Radio, allow it to do so and it will update the HBoot, should say OK next to HBoot, once completed it will ask to be rebooted
7: To check that this has all happended correctly, go back into HBoot (remove your microSD before this) and you should have a pink box up the top stating *LOCKED* if you see this and your HBoot version is now 1.08.0099 (if you used the RUU that I did) you are now ready to go through the HTCdev Bootunlock process
8: Do the HTCdev Bootunlock process, it is straight forward and easy to do!
9: Forget needing to use the XTC and starting modding you HTC Wildfire S!!!
Dude!!!! worked for me - so stoked, thanks heaps!!!

Stoked I could help another kiwi im looking through ROMS atm... I have no idea which to go for! CyanogenMod seems to be a beta, has no marketplace...
Update
OK, so I thought I'd do an update as to where I'm at with this:
Unlocked using the process above, one bit of advice I'd throw in is to leave the SD card OUT while doing the HTC unlock bit.. took me a couple of goes to get past that bit!
So now I have a WFS that has hboot unlocked, and now rooted via HTC Supertool thingy...
Have downloaded Clockwork Rom Manager, but theWFS is not listed in the options there so appears to not be working correctly as not able to flash to WFS set up.
Looking for alternate ways to flash a ROM to the WFS, if you know how to do it and know of a good ROM, please let me know!

It will root and install CWM for you, its awesome
In the way of a ROM, I have installed CM7 but don't really like the feel of it, its like being back on Froyo...
Update 2
OK, si I used the link above to get CWM on the WFS, worked, got quite worried about 90 mins later when WFS was still bootlooping or something, but then it woke up and hey presto CM7 running 2.3.7.
It does look/feel like Froyo but it's ok and I get more space on phone.
Camera flash locks up still, few other small things. have overclocked to min 480, max 787 ondemand, seems stable enuff for now. I'll keep an eye on battery life tho.
BUT I DO want market...
When I use ROM manager, I'm getting a messasge saying I need to Flash CWM Recovery and to install it, but keep getting message that I need stable internet connection etc. have tried on wifi & 3G.. bit nothing... any suggestions?
Might use the batch file to flash again and try another build later....
PLEASE STICKY IF THIS IS HELPFUL!!!
ALSO ON THE HTC ONE V FORUM (since this phone is like a hybrid of that and this, the desire....and doesn't have it's own dedicated forum hahaha)
Hello Everyone, just yesterday I was messing with gapps on my HTC t328w (since it's a chinese phone, it didn't not come with gapps, so I had try to flash them myself) and I made some mistakes, which basically ended up soft-bricking my device (unable to update gapps since I had merged the entire system folders instead of just copying system/app), and it would not boot to the home screen.
After looking for a while I had found the RUU for this phone, however, the .exe just did not work for me, it wouldn't detect my phone (maybe incorrect drivers, but I can't be sure of that as my phone was rooted using the same computer)...
So after some thinking and working stuff out, I came up with method (well, at least for this phone, it has been done for other phones before), so I present you...
HOW TO UNBRICK THE HTC T328W DESIRE V (HTC WIND FROM CHINA UNICOM
What you need
-The phone, obviously (try to have battery above 30%)
-***RELOCKED*** bootloader
-The RUU found here (download the .exe) (Thank you island3r!)
-Micro SD card
Ok!~~~
Let us begin...
1.) Run the RUU exe file, and when it's done preparing, go to start > run, and type in %temp%, you should see the temp folder pop up...
2.) In the temp folder, look for the file with the longest name (that was my qualitative observation, needs clarification~!), and scroll down and find rom.zip
3.) Rename rom.zip to PL11IMG.zip, and transfer it to the root of your micro sd card (with the adapter in your computer, as you can't with your phone...since it's bricked...)
4.) Take the micro-sd card out of your computer, slide it in your phone, and boot into HBOOT (volume down + power button).
5.) When you are at the hboot screen, press the down button once, you should see the phone scan the SD card, it will say in about 5 - 10 seconds "PL11IMG.zip found....checking.....loading", there is a vertical progress bar on the top right side of the screen so you can be sure that it's not frozen or something...
6.) After it is done checking, it should bring up a menu to update and say press vol+ for YES and vol- for new, we need to flash this update/restoration so press the the volume up button...
7.) It will do something for about a minute, and go BACK to boot loader, repeat step 5 and 6 (this happened to me, I really don't know if this will happen to others...someone please test this?)
8.) Now that you have said YES to update the second time, wait about 10 minutes (you can watch the progress bar too), and it will say "update completed, press power to reboot"
9.) Reboot, and your phone is good as new!!!!* ^______^
*I mean it when I say that, it is literally good as new; it will wipe everything, and you need to activate your phone again and set up and all that stuff
I NEED TESTERS AND CONFIRMERS....HELP ME OUT WITH THIS METHOD PLEASE
Hope you found this helpful! Post if you have any comments, concerns, or any thing that should be added on (this is my first guide hahaha )
I cannot execute as above as i never get to step #6.
----------------
My T328W came with OS version 1.35.
Recently it got an OTS update to 1.56.
This happened while i was in process to unlock boot-loader, root the phone, and begin installation of gaps.
Now the phone seems to be in "NEVER NEVER land". I cant do much with it. WIFI and Bluetooth are not working.
I can readily lock and unlock the boot-loader.
The security is on. S-ON.
I want to go back to 1.35 (factory shipped version) but cannot as different errors come up when trying ton install RUU. I do have the original version RUU it shipped with.
There seems to be much confusion as to how install this orignal RUU. S-ON or should it be OFF. How do i turn it OFF.
BASICALLY
I want to get the phone completely back to shipped version. So then i can begin the root, and gaps installation.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Helpful guide
it works. Thank you.
how do you install Google Play in your chinese Version (China Unicom) T328W, build 1.35.1402.1?
This method would not work for device which have HBOOT 1.14.0002 and S-ON (device which have received 1.56.1402 release OTA update). Mind one got this and when I flash the zip, the phone say "HBOOT is older" cannot update.
I see someone in androidforum post that there is a method to flash only system, data and recovery (what he call mini-RUU) but I dont know whether it work or not if I fash 1.35.xxx rom to my newer HBOOT device.
If someone have experience could help me confirm it, I am sorry that I am hersitated to test myself cause I dont have any backup rom for my device, I am scare if it would soft-brick my device (it's currently have and missing feature rom - missing notification bar, but at lease it still work and allow my to whatsapp with my wife). Please help.

I've brought back my rooted (S-off) HTC Desire Bravo with a custom recovery
(4EXT)
and a custom Rom (RunnymedeAIO)
back to stock Software-number 3.14.405.1 by only using my SDcard.
I've used the Aplharev downgrader and the HTC RUU 2.3.3. Europe GSM.
I found all information I needed in Bortak's Troubleshooting Guide. Thanks :good:
#1
Check your battery or hook up your adapter! It all takes about 15 minutes.
I downgraded my HBoot by copying the dowgrader in the root of my SDcard and renamed it PB99IMG,
I installed it directly in the bootloader [volume-down + power button] and select 'Yes' in HBoot-menu when asked to start update?
And 'Yes' again to confirm reboot the device.
#2
Then I copied the extracted RUU (= a extracted rom.zip from HTC's RUU) so it could be used directly in the root of my SDcard by renaming it to PB99IMG
(remove or rename the previous PB99IMG) and I installed it again in the bootloader [volume-down + power button] and select 'Yes' in HBoot-menu when asked to start update?
(During the process the device will reboot once and will continue the update, just wait and follow the status onscreen)
Then select 'Yes' again to confirm reboot the device. Watch the magic work. :fingers-crossed:
All my data was erased and my phone was (S-on) like it came fresh from the store!!:fingers-crossed:
HBoot -1.02.0001
RADIO 5.17.05.23
SWnr.3.14.405.1
If you need more information or need more options just check Bortak's Troubleshooting Guide. Thanks :good:
Please send me your comments or ideas to help me and other Desire users, thanks.
If you want to make a real guide, you should give a bit more details.
Although this is a method the majority know, many won't know how to install a PB99IMG.zip file, nor how to extract the rom.zip from a RUU. Explain the whole process for both.
If you're gonna do something, do it properly.
Thanks OP

I agree the OP could have provided more information (or links to the guide).
I however found this post extremely useful if only beacuse it was the first place I found where I could actually get the file I needed on my rubbish internet connection.
So thanks a lot OP, you fixed my phone.

Hi abaaaabbbb63,
I tried to keep this as simple as possible because I am just an enthusiast who wants to help others HTC Bravo users (with no experience at all or less),
to get back to stock in a simple way. I hope it will do just that.
I added some extra information as requested and hope to please you to.
Greetings from Holland, IErkens
Thanks mate!
I found this guide very usefull..:good::good:
A CLARIFICATION before error!
Hi guys,
At the risk of appearing pretty stupid (fine by me!! ) rather than making a fatal error, would you mind guiding me through the following:
My HTC Desire BRAVO is currently S-OFF and has a CUSTOM ROM installed (Oxygen). Runs beautifully. The original 0.93 HBOOT was replaced using AlphaRev to current 6.93 in order to install OXYGEN ROM.
I need to hand this phone on to a friend and so would like to return it to stock: either to HTC factory stock or to its original TELSTRA Australia stock. REASON? simply to make it a clean stock standard unit ready for his use. There is no matter of returning it to stock for warranty purposes.
Question: Do I need to DOWNGRADE the bootloader first to theoriginal v.HBOOT 0.93 before running the stock RUU? or
BECAUSE it is already S-OFF, can I simply copy the Telstra RUU or HTC RUU (.exe file) to the external ext4 SD card and then access and run it through BOOT menu.(Clockwork - Revolutionary etc.)
What would you advise on this - plus any additional thoughts you may have!
Heaps of thanks in anticipation!

Do this:
Download this ZIP (It's a RUU)
http://d-h.st/d44
And install it this way:
