[Q] - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi XDA. Sry for my bad English
yesterday i had rooted my HTC Wildfire and then i installed SetCPU. But when i started the program, I could only underclock my phone and not overclock it. Does any1 know why?
Plz help me

Are you using a overclockable kernel with whatever rom you're using?

Welcome to the forum.
Questions and anwsers go in the Q&A sub-forum.
Now for your question: you need to install a custom kernel, that will allow overclocking.

#2 i think i'm using a standard rom
# 3 Do you have a guide to do that?

Download an overclockable kernel
Boot into recovery 2.5 (Flash the attached file for a temporary 2.5 recovery)
Flash kenel.

#4 do you want me to copy the files into my Wildfire and the go into recovery?

Yes, but the attached files isn't the kernel, you still need that if you want to flash it.

Yes, copy the kernel of your choice and the update1 zip to your SD card. Then flash update1, then the kernel.

It just depends on the script in the flashable zip I believe. If its an old zip cwm needs to be downgraded.

HELP!

I have an HTC Desire running Cool3D Aces, and recently decided to flash the alpharev recovery so I could partition my SD card etc.
Since flashing alpharev, I have lost all root privileges and have no superuser.bin or whatever in my system files.
Does anyone know what has happened or how I can fix this?
PS. I've tried flashing all of the superuser files and they do not work.
HELP ??!?!?!?!?
Alpharev recovery?! or Amonra?
Alpharev is for Hboot
Do you mean you used the recovery provided by AlphaRev (which is CWM) or what?

Yes that's what I mean
I'll post some screen shots of the hboot and recovery screens if needed
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
A flashable zip is, I believe, available on the Alpharev site containing the su binary and other files. Otherwise, you can get root by flashing any stock based rooted rom-teppic74's rom is the one with least mods.

Download the superuser 3.0.7.apk file. (Google the term it should be the first result) and flash it via recovery. Alternatively, you can choose one of the many roms available here.
Edit: download su here. http://androidsu.com/superuser/

I've have tried this many times and it does not appear to work .
Superuser was not found at /system/bin/su.
And now I cannot connect to PC for mass storage to use unrevoke(d) it

nandroid backup first...
go here, pick a few, try them out. make sure you read the op and have correct hboot / sd-ext partition if required.
ask yourself what YOU want out of your rom, not what others tell you works for them...

[Q] HTC One X almost dead :(

Hello all,
I'm asking for you help about my dead (almost) HTC ONE X that I got 1 month ago...
I tried to flash a new custom ROM on it and everything went fine for rooting and stuff...
The ROM that I was supposed to flash needed a boot.img to be flashed first, which I did but I forgot to put the ZIP containing the custom ROM in my sdcard. Now, when I reboot my phone, it freezes on the HTC logo and can't go on.
I still can get it connected via adb and recovery.
I restored my backup but it doesn't change a thing to make it work.
I tried a hard factory reset
I pushed the zip file that I was supposed to flash, but when I try to flash it from recovery, it can't be found!!!
I don't know what else to do, I need help......please and thank you in andvance !
Go to recovery, mounts and storage, then mount usb storage. With your usb-cable connected you sould be able to copy over your ROM to sd-card and flash normally.

Alright stay cool, your phone isn't bricked. Download this: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.8.4.0-endeavoru.img. and flash in fastboot. Go to fastboot> fastboot flash recovery [the file.img] After that try mounting again and it should work.

Now that I can get to my sdcard, what file should I flash please ?

I can highly recommend CM10 provided that you can live without sense. Really smooth and fully functional.
And remember to flash the boot.img from CM10 if you decide to install it. :thumbup:

I can't find this ROM that you're talking about knowing that I'm stil in newbe in this domain
I found a ROM called skydragon, that I'm going to try.
Is it alright with my fastboot version and the recovery one that I try this ROM or others ?

I've never tried skydragon ROM and still think you should flash CyanogenMod 10. It is totally safe for everyday use. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1786696
And one more thing: flashing skydragon requires updating hboot which might be too tricky and has its own disadvantages so not recommending that.

I'm not quite sure. Please try to get some rom to the phone and after using that you can try new roms and find the one that suits you best. I'm going to bed now so try to manage on your own. :thumbup:

Some roms are more minimal with just the basic apps, whereas some are nearer to the official HTC roms, with Sense etc.
Make sure that you have the correct firmware HBoot for any particular rom. By the sounds of it, you can't currently install the JellyBean custom roms (bar CM10) with the Hboot you have.

The kernel must be compatible with the ROM. Usually, Sense version and Android version need to match.

I'm sorry, is it actually possible to flash a kernel with unlocked bootloader and s-on? Before I s-offed, I could not flash New kernel via recovery, is there a way to do it other than via recovery?
Edit: I suppose if the new kernel was in boot.IMG format, then you could flash it in fastboot.

yes The Kernel In the .zip format can be flashed in two steps.
First Flash The Zip File In Recovery
Then Flash Boot.img via Fastboot,fastboot flash boot boot.img

What's the first step for?
I think the whole point of this thread was the op wants to try different kernel with existing Rom on the phone using a kernel.zip .
My original answer was if your s-on you can't flash a new kernel.
What I didn't however include is you can't do it via recovery, using a downloaded kernel.zip which was my mistake. But I would have thought that was obvious, because that was the original question.

But...what does flashing the zip do that flashing the image doesn't? Am I missing something?

According to me,The Flash Zip is required to place the files in the system directories...
It would be the same reason you have to flash the boot.IMG manually after flashing a Rom from recovery (cwm, 4ext etc) because it doesn't get flashed to the boot, same reason kernel doesn't flash via recovery. HTC unlock but still s-on doesn't allow you to mess with kernel directly or via recovery except using fastboot.
Atleast that's my understanding.
May I also add my own personal experience, I went straight to htcdev to unlock my phone, my experience with my HTC legend gave me the knowledge to do it without issue except the boot.img which through me a little. Long story short after flashing Rom and boot.img I wanted to try new kernel but it wouldn't work then I used google and found out via a different forum site the reason, which is HTC'S official unlock does not allow access to kernel with s-on....
