New OTA update

After rooting my wildfire and getting rid of the bloatware i did a backup and restarted. I was then prompted to download a system update 1.02.652.00. Just thought i would let you all know, not to sure what its for.

There is a new euro rom available that updates to gingerbread 2.3.5 and new lockscreen. Maybe thats it what rom are you using region euro, asia, us?

Yes that's it.
Android 2.3.5
New lockscreen

I have a stupid question, Do i need to have S-OFF to install a not branded(like tmobile) but official ROM ? (RUU one etc.) ?

No you just need to create a goldcard first if your phone is branded.
You'll find how to created one here :

If the RUU number is higher i think you can upgrade no problem without a goldcard but might have to be same region as your original rom.

but if i instal 2.13 , i get error 131 wrong ID.

Use goldcard for update
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using XDA App

I'm trying to do this update. It will download it to the sd card perfectly fine. after it reboots the phone to apply the update, it start to load something for less than a second(loading bar at bottom), then just sits there at the android with the exclamation mark triangle and doesn't do anything else.
I have the HTC_A510c model. Virgin Mobile USA CDMA phone. I have the gold card created, s-off, rooted, and clockworkmod custom recovery installed.
The file the update downloaded is called OTA_Marvel_C_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.02.652.00-1.01.652.20_release_220163t0ppyzj10xds3ff7.zip, if I was to rename the file to PG76IMG.zip, then boot into HBOOT(vol down and power), would that work properly to apply the update?? Or should I try to update it through the clockworkmod recovery using either the update with zip, or install zip from sd card??
I'm very very new to droid stuff, On my second Wildfire S as I flashed a GSM rom onto the CDMA phone, which apparently results in a brick. any help with this would be appreciated, am I missing a step?

Exactly the same question, so I figured I'd bump this. Any help out there for the question/issue?

hold up... slow it up a notch
The OP referenced a security update from VM USA and people telling him to flash a gsm RUU to his device. The update is safe btw I got it before I rooted but please don't flash the 2.3.5 RUU. It might make for a really long day for you. Some devs are building [probably as I type this] a cdma compatible kernel. Yes HTCdev has dropped the source code as well [for WFS 2.3.5]. Just be patient, flash one of mine or simon's roms if you want to flash something, and we will have 2.3.5 before you know it.

I asked this question a few days ago because I have forgotton [I'm old]. Pretty sure you have to unroot your device, may have to flip it back to s-on, update, s-off again, root. Its a pain for a minor security update... Its not 2.3.5 Try just unrooting first. Might not have to s-on; like I said, I'm old.

I havent read the whole thread so I am not sure how it does it but there were CDMA and GSM ppl, all CDMA customers succeeded but all GSM posted that failed.
I think someone here with GSM in WFS forum tested and failed too but have no time to search for it.
I can only say that I am sure for myself that it is working only on CDMA because I have checked the thread but cannot prove it to you, so anyone who wants can check it again

welp... on our own after s-off
marvelc users:
The tool I thought may help does not. at least not for OTA updates. Reason being? You do have to re-lock the bootloader (s-on) to install these updates, and this tool does not accomplish this (although it may for other devices). Also, we have no official RUU (for A510c devices) as far as I've scoured the internet for (these have been reported to switch the device back to s-on). So the old adage applies: Once you s-off your device, you are on your own. At least for now anyway. I tried the better part of the day to get this working but to no avail. The tool referenced above also does not unroot our devices (although I did accomplish this; easiest way right now is an app [in Chinese mostly] called Un-rooting on market). Sadly without a s-on, update fails same way as before. Thought I'd share.

Stuck on safety screen following RUU flash plaus other issues

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!

[Q]Unusual brick - Solution?

I have happily had a htc desire z for just over a year. On Tuesday i bought the 'humble bundle' android apps.
I downloaded one of the apps. Cogs. Once i installed it my screen went black and didn't do anything. So after 15 minutes. I reluctantly removed and replaced my battery. From then on my phone wont get passed the htc boot screen. From then on I only assumed i have an expensive paperweight which was bricked one way or another.
It can however access the 'hboot menu' (if thats the correct term?);
When the menu loads it checks for some zip files, its too fast too make out what they are though. The menu info is as follows if it helps;
VISION PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.85.0013
MICROP-0425
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 11 2011, 23:36:27
Options:
FASTBOOT - Takes me to another menu. Doesn't seem useful as far as i can see.
RECOVERY - It brings up the phone with the green arrow for 2 seconds then buzzes 3 times in succession and then shuts the screen off. Is that what it should do?
FACTORY RESET - This option looks like what id need, however when i select it the phone just freezes.
SIMLOCK/IMAGE CRC - From what ive read theyre not really any use.
Would anyone be able to suggest a port of call in order to recover this lifeless paperweight please?!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Recovery should bring you to your recovery menu. What i mean is that it should start ClockworkMod or 4Ext depending on which one you've installed.
As far as i know those 2 options would allow you to get your phone back to life. I'm afraid that you're screwed without it. But my knowledge about that kind of stuff is pretty basic so maybe someone on this forum has a solution.
Good luck !!!

Sounds like the phone is still stock, so in that case it would be neither of those, and the stock Recovery.
Which brings up the valid question: this phone is stock and unrooted?
Factory reset should do the trick. If not, you might need to find the appropriate RUU file for your phone version (region, carrier) and run that on your computer with the phone connected via USB. What version of the Desire Z do you have (Canada, Euro, Asia, etc.)?
Fastboot is a special tool used with your phone connected by USB to your computer. The Fastboot menu in Hboot simply turns this feature on or off. You don't need to mess with it, unless specifically instructed to.

Unfortunately the phone is still completely stock. Didn't really fancy dabbing in rooting until the warranty ran out, which ironically is now.
The phone is not carrier locked (i.e. it's sim free).
I live in the UK, however i purchased it through a weird net site, it came with alternative languages like THAI pre-installed which suggests its an Asian import. With no option for European languages, except English of course.
Thanks for the swift replies, i'll have a quick read into RUU's, and what they actually are though. But if with the extra info you can further point me in the right direction it'd be great!
thanks

would these be what i'm after?

The stock/shipped RUUs can be downloaded from here:
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Vision
The question is which one. You can try the Asian RUU. I'm not certain what would happen if you try to run the wrong RUU. I think (not sure) that it will just fail and give an error message for wrong version.

Couldn't remember and had to look that one up. Put your phone into fastboot mode in order to run the RUU.

Right. I gave the WWE version a run. It was able to scan my current firmware and said it was using build 2.42.707.3 there isn't an RUU for this.
Would you think it would load the WWE fine, or result in a worse off brick?
WWE BUILD = 2.42.405.2
ASIA_TW BUILD = 2.42.709.10
would it be worth requesting an ruu for the specific build direct from htc do you think or would i be wasting my time.
Sorry for the tireless questions. I really do thank you for your effort.

Wait, what message are you getting again? It won't allow you to flash because it's the same version?
I would try the version that's on your device. I take that's the ASIA_TW RUU?
However.
What your issue would be with flashing an RUU, is the fact the phone does a version check. Now if the version is higher or equal to the one already installed, it will refuse to flash (not sure on equal, that's why you might have a chance if you flash the RUU that corresponds to your version).
So, the only way you can go around the version check is make the phone think that it's a lower version. You have to do this by editing the "misc" partition. This partition holds information such as version number, and others unique to your phone. The misc partition is edit-able, but editing it is largely accomplished by having access to the Android OS, which apparently isn't the case here. You'll only be able to accomplish this by editing the misc partition using a Jtag, and this is sub-optimal solution, to say the least.

As crestofawave mentions, if it fails the version check, it SHOULD just refuse to flash the ROM. But I've heard of cases where a wrong RUU is run (or partially run?), causing the phone to be stuck in recovery. But I don't think that would put you in any worse situation than you are now. As the solution for that particular problem is flashing the correct RUU.
I don't THINK there is anything worse than that, that will happen from flashing the wrong RUU. But I personally don't know enough to answer that for certain. And I would hate to be wrong. But if I were a betting man, I'd just try to flash one of the RUU's and see what happens.
Since the WWE RUU is a lower version number than what is currently installed, I don't think you have a choice, but to run the ASIA_TW one.
The other option is to try to make a goldcard from an SD card. This will allow you to run any RUU.

Pretty sure you mean if the versions number (you are trying to flash) is lower than the one already installed, it will fail. Equal version should pass the check, as running the RUU is a common means of recovering an existing ROM.

The download link seems to work, but at your own risk. Sketchy Chinese download site posted by a member with only 3 posts . . . is a bit sketchy.
In theory this should be the right ROM file (pass version check). Rename to PC10IMG.zip and put on your SD card. Then flash from recovery.

@redpoint73 Thanks for pointing some things out. I was somewhat busy at the time so I didn't have the time to assess the situation as well as I'd like. So, flashing an RUU of the same version does work, huh? Good to know.
So, I also looked up the version number and I found that the same file had been mentioned in some other sites, in one of which I found the same person posting it, and he's a moderator, too. Well, I don't think it helps in terms of trustworthiness, but then again, it sounds like this is your best shot.
Good luck though!

Right. With both the WWE and ASIA_TW editions it runs the RUU, all the way up too the update button. However once i click it. The RUU shows the loading bar with text saying 'rebooting to bootloader' but it just gets stuck here. The phone just hangs on the fastboot menu and doesnt let me do anything until i remove the battery again.
I'm gonna try work out how to download the other one from this rather Chinese site. If that doesn't work....
One last solution. Try extracting the exes to get the firmware. Shove it on the memory stick and load it through recovery?
cheers for the link to that firmware btw.

I think the same thing will happen in recovery, that the extracted .zip files will fail in region and/or version number check. This is pretty much what "S-On" on your Hboot screen signifies (in addition to write protecting the Hboot, radio, and other things).
One thing you can try, is to turn an SD card into a Gold Card. Gold card will let you then flash any ROM, regardless of region or version number.
This (though a bit dated) is the best guide I know of for making a gold card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835777
With a gold card, you should be able to flash any RUU. The WWE ROM on the same thread is a good start point, as its the unbranded HTC ROM that was shipped when the phone was initially released (Euro version).
I've personally never had to make a gold card, I just know about the process. For some reason, it doesn't always work from posts I've read in the past. So its not a silver bullet. But for the lack of the right RUU for your phone version, it may be your best bet at this time.

Slowly downloading from that Chinese site at a whopping 10KB/s whilst having a read about gold cards. Can i make a gold card in any android phone and use a gold card in any android phone?

Really don't know. But the "easy guide" to make a gold card is from the HTC Hero forum on Modaco, so it seems there is some standardization, at least among HTC devices. The various manufacturers have very different write protections, so I'm guessing this is just an HTC thing.

apparently you can
apparently you can use any goldcard with any phone, well according to the second post on this thread anywho.
http://androidforums.com/legend-support-troubleshooting/197860-how-do-i-use-goldcard.html
now to find a willing volunteer in uni halls so shouldnt be tooooo hard to find one of these nifty new phones lying round.

Well it passes all the checks and gives me the option to install the firmware with that chinese one so im gonna give it a go once my batteries fully charged!
If it works i'll upload that link to a UK/US host so it doesn't take people in a similar situation 6 hours to download 250 Mb!
EDIT: If it works. Would it be worth rooting/S-off in order to make recovering my phone easier in the future?

Rooting your phone can only lead to benefits. You can flash Custom ROM's (You can go with Stock rooted ones if you just want to use the phone. Having root really makes the difference, there's a lot more freedom.)
To answer your question though, what is meant by "rooting" here is basically unlocking the phone. It allows us for complete control of pretty much every aspect on this phone..
Now, typically, when you "root" the phone you also get what we call a "recovery". Essentially, recovery is a utility that will allow you to control the phone's OS, essentially to install/remove or backup it, as well as other handy features. Think of it as a fail-safe toolbox, isolated from the rest of the android system. So, in many cases, it will "recover" your phone, in case of an issue. This really depends on the incident though, a recovery can't "fix" a broken eMMC chip. Don't worry though, chances of breaking your phone are very little if you do everything right.
Also, in addition to that, whilst rooting (when using the XDA Wiki Guide), you eventually get the option to flash the ENGineering HBOOT. What ENG HBOOT allows you to do is make use of the "fastboot" bridge. With it, you can perform a multitude of tasks, just like in recovery. The only difference is that fastboot is on the lower levels of the phone's building blocks, HBOOT. That means that in the case you can't run the recovery for whatever reason you could flash a new one using fastboot. It's quite useful but it is overlooked as it is considered a dangerous process, while it really isn't, if you're careful. Same goes for the rest of the rooting guide which you can find here, if you feel comfortable enough to root, that is! You don't necessarily have to flash the ENG HBOOT, so if you don't feel comfortable about it you can ignore it.
Best of luck.

Thanks for the info!
BUUT. That method failed miserably. I choose to update. The screen just sits there on updating for the first module (bootloader) and doesnt do anything.
I remove the battery and restarted a bit scared to do so. But it didnt even touch the bootloader in the 15 minutes i waited........so I have a feeling something has physically broken on the thing.

Bummer...Whether it's a soft or hard brick...we're handicapped in terms of options, considering that we have limited access. You can try running it again, and leave it for more time. Probably not going to do any better but until (and if) we can come up with something else, I don't see another option.

Desire z situation

Hi everybody. Have desire z and faced with a problem. Just want to install virtuos on it when understood that its impossible. Device is UNLOCKED, S-ON, and thats it.
Device also with stock australian OS. Version which has hole for root is 1.32, I could downgrade device only till 1.85, because this is the earliest version of australian android for Desire z. I have no possibilities for another os installation. It says that code is wrong bla-bla-bla...
Guys, could you please help me... I want to install virtuos...

it doesnt really matter where the 1.32 version is from... as you are not going to use it?

Just follow this guide here
If its complaining about CID incorrect, it just means you need a goldcard, which that guide goes through.

There's a CyanogenMod wiki called HTC Desire Z: Rooting. It does help figure out the rooting process in a simple manner. I know there's an excellent post on XDA but I can't find it. Google it.
And follow the process to the T and don't miss out on anything. You're gonna be fine.
On a personal note, I've tried Virtuous Unity and found it to be ridiculously slow and memory-hungry. Otherwise it's quite Sense-ible. I personally can't stand a slow phone. I'm using MIUI 2.3.23 right now from MIUI Andriod. Loving every minute and not missing Sense in the least.

Heh, guys. Didnt work.
After this step "adb reboot bootloader" in manual downgrading, the phone could boot in boot loader and started scaning for images. But after scan it said that image is missing or image is wrong! I dont know what to do... Did all of steps twice...
When tried to downgrade with fastboot, screen shows gray HTC and the phone hanged.

did you make a gold card?

Yes I did.

Change flash card, made goldcard on it too.
I was able to get temp root, but when Im loading into bootloader "..image is wrong ...bla-bla..."
Used two different flash cards for goldcard procedure and in the end of it had the same results. It didnt help. What to do.

it sounds like bootloader isnt picking up the PC10IMG on your sd card.... the CID incorrect error comes after this...
after its failed have you checked to see if the PC10IMG has transferred to your sd?
also just to check after you adb reboot bootloader in 7 you are then selecting bootloader?

Yes, the image is on sdcard, I checked.
Of course, after rebooting into bootloader I m selecting bootloader.
After that Im just waiting for searching. After few seconds of waiting the image loading starts.
SD Checking...
Loading image.....PC10DIAG.zip
No Image!
Loading....PC10DIAG.nbh
No image or wrong image!
Loading image....[PC10IMG.zip]
No image or wrong image!

either a bad download of of what ever ruu your using or your goldcard didnt work. try another method of making a gold card or using a different sd card (fat32)
also redownload the ruu that you need and put this one on your card

In my first post I mentioned that i have australian stock rom whish has 1.85 as earliest version of rom, not 1.34. I already tried to downgrade to 1.85, it works, but grant root is not possible here.

its not getting to the goldcard stage... it should find the PC10IMG.zip & then ask if you want to upgrade after you choose yes it then checks & either continues or gives you a CID error
i had a good check the other day when i was rooting my second one...
maybe some screenshots of the terminal & the platform-tools folder would help just to check everything is where it should be

as far as I know the unlock method of htc dev doesn't give you s-off (which seems to be confirmed by yourself saying you're still s-on). S-on means "security on" what in other words means you won't be able to flash a custom recovery (if I'm not mistaken here).
You said that you have read every thread here about this - so you should know as it's mentioned all over this forum (that htc dev isn't the best method...). For how - and if - you still could get there I''m not too sure but you probably need to do an RUU, downgrade etc to do the suggested method (of the two corresponding threads here) instead of the htc dev thing.
But as I said: I_m not sure if you still can - probably someone has experience here?

No, no. He will be able to flash a custom recovery if he unlocked it using HTCDev, he won't, however, be able to modify the internal storage while the phone is booted.

ah, yes, thx for clearifying - so you can't get control over the partitions or what does it mean?

The htc dev method gives a different output to revo or alpha, if it says s-on with unlocked somewhere then fastboot is the only method that will work for flashing a custom recovery and although some things like the revovery partition are unlocked for flashing, some important things like radio aren't hence the s still being on........
I presume if it says s-on and locked then yes you have probably gone wrong somewhere and locked it again.
Theres not many people on here that have used the htc dev unlock tool i don't think so support might be a bit thin as we don't know much about it, try running through the htc dev unlock method again to hopefully get it unlocked again and then flash cwm by the fastboot method.
If it says locked then i can't think of any other way, downgrading to hboot 1.01.0001in order to use revolutionary may work but i'm not sure if you can or not as i have personally never done it.

but don't know why it doesn't work properly i have no idea why this don't work either. i read number of threats regarding it and i tried to google
with the errors that came with buzz downgrade. something just goes wrong with it in the first step but it just doesn't get completed. the phone does not respond when i ran the buzz downgade utility even after installing the htc driver from the buzz downgrade itself (don't remember exactly that it is explained over the internet). i did clearly everything whatever is written in the threats about how to use the buzz downgrade but in vain i stopped it trying.
i still have the setup of buzz downgrade in my laptop.:silly:
but why it doesn't work i don't know..and you know what i read that threat too in the past.
may be it is the problem of the bootloader that it is locked..

During your procedure,did you ever achieve the S-OFF ?
You need to downgrade from 1.02.0000 to 1.01.0001 to use Revolutionary.
Try this guide.
If you want revolutionary will automatically download the recovery and install it on your phone.
After gaining S-OFF if you can't get Unrevoked working in order to gain root.
Use this or try SuperOneClick.
Good luck:good:

Try the link in my Sig, it should help. First, I recommend running an RUU and relocking your bootloader using fastboot oem lock.
Then try the debranding and rooting guide in the Sig.

I never tried htcdev method so i have no idea about that.You should probably try their method once again,if that doesn't work,use the Gold card tool to downgrade the HBOOT using this guide.

At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2
Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!

You didn’t answer me,What is the information on your HBOOT screen?
Power off the phone and ensure the phone is completely off. Then hold POWER + VOL-DOWN buttons together until the white HBOOT screen appears. Tell us your HBOOT info.
You are getting Customer ID error,It’s a bad Goldcard.You will have to create a new Goldcard.
>Connect it to your computer using an SD Adapter and format the card to FAT32 file system once again.
>Redownload and reextract the package.
>Follow this guide to create the Goldcard.It’s a bit more detailed.
Before doing anything download CCleaner and TFC and run them.TFC will ask you to reboot.Reboot the PC.
Now make the Goldcard.Good luck.

not really clear to me also - if I got him right he initially has been on 1.01.0002 (because of the Android update). Because there hasn't been a possibility by revolutionary yet at that time and for that bootloader he unlocked it at the htcdev site what made it 1.02.000.
But I'm a bit confused, too, so a detailed information of the fastboot screen would really help (or a pic).

As it says,your Bootloader is still LOCKED.
After using HTC dev unlock tool your HBOOT 1.01.0002 got changed to 1.02.000 while Bootloader is still locked.
i.e you probably missed some steps.
