wildfire s

i bought a wildfire s that boots into the bootloader but i can't find any information on how to put the rom onto it. it doesn't have cwm or amon ra so i can't load any custom roms onto it.
any help or suggestions would be awesome

<-- Wrong section -->
Can you give us some more information?
is the phone S-OFF, can you access a custom recovery?
Willing to help, but need to know more...

yeah the phone is s-off, ill take a picture of the screen and upload it in a second

thats all i can get from the phone. when i click recovery it just hangs at the htc logo

You need to flash a custom recovery.
Follow the instructions here. After that you can easily flash roms such as CM7

hey, thanks for the speedy reply. that worked, but its just hanging at the htc screen when i try to go into recovery to flash a rom to it. its kinda bothersome... lol

You can install official ROM by putting the zip on the SD card and open the bootloader

Try to use the RUU program by htc. Reflash the custom recovery, and enjoy! (Footballs thread)

official RUU
woops not silver... must be grey... anyway my bad.
Rob

Correct me of I'm wrong ? Pc now needed to flash one x roms every time ?

What's going on with the normal...cwm method that'android has used for the last few years now that ics is out
Do we need a pc now available to actually.flash a Rom every single.time ?
I don't understand what this fastboot.zip is for prior to flashing any normal zipRom in cwm .
I've never had to do this on my galaxy note
Flashed from gb to ics and back
My one x is unlocked and rooted and I have 3 roms I've tried says install complete
But on reboot I'm back.on stock Rom that's factory reset
This is my second post am I missing a step here ? Can anyone answer and explain why all the one.x roms need to flash some fastboot.zip first and is this done through hboot or cwm or on a pc and is it a one time thing

Until we get s-off we need to flash the boot.img through fastboot because with s-on its not possible through recovery
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

HTC's "unlock" procedure doesn't give you full s-off, it just allows you to write to certain partitions. And while it does allow you to write to the boot partition from fastboot, it doesn't allow you to write there from recovery. Hence when you flash a ROM/backup in recovery, nothing is written to the boot partition, so you have to write the boot.img there yourself using fastboot (from a PC). We're stuck with this until either HTC cave in and give us full access (unlikely) or someone finds an exploit to gain s-off without them.

Ok now I know so for the first time ever now flashing roms requires being infront of a pc the fastboot boot script can only be done on a pc, no script can be done on the go or right from the device...hboot menu,odd Kind of stupid
I've flashed roms with s on
On other HTC devices that gained root and unlock with s on only , but still allowed fully flashing gb roms
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

Why can't the boot.IMG be loaded just like you would any other IMG when you boot into hboot it would recognize the new boot IMG ,then from there finish the install in recovery
Why is adb only way to do the fastboot script
People want to flash roms on the go
Reminds me of backtracking the HTC hd2 days

Isn't this a bug that the guy from modaco was talking to HTC about?
There's also a random guy that posted a google+ conversation in the general section that was saying the next update will make flashing ROMs easier.
Maybe my 2+2 = 5, but this would be nice, it'll just about half the traffic in the ROM threads.

one x bricked pleasee helpp

please use better english next time. in your entire text, there are only two points and one question mark...

DON'T PANIC YOUR NOT BRICKED
Best thing to do would be to unlock your bootloader again at HTC dev .com.
Once unlocked flash custom recovery again and restore from a previous back up to yet the phone working.
This can all be done while you are in the bootloader screen. I had the same problem, and got mine sorted
I think the issue was that you didn't flash the boot.img of the new Rom before you locked the bootloader. Hence leaving you stuck and not booting.
Other than that best thing could be to download the correct .ruu version for your phone and install that from your computer and restore it to origial Rom and bootloader, the you have the option to update the hboot so that you can flash jellybean roms.
1. Either down load correct ruu and run.
To restore phone.
Or
1. Unlock your bootloader (HTC dev.com)
2. Install custom recovery
3. Restore from back up (if you made one) and of course flashing correct boot.omg of that back up Rom.
4. Flash new custom Rom with correct boot omg
At least your phone will be working.
Check the forum there are threads that detail several methods on how to update hboot to install jellybean.
But first get the phone to a working state.
Goodluck.

You don't have to flash a custom ROM you can keep the stock stuff and have a rooted phone. But unlocking the bootloader will delete settings messages app data and contacts so back them up

Rooted with CM10 Flashed

Well you can remove root. But once you flashed a custom recovery you must make a nandroid backup so you have a non rooted stock rom. The only thing is that we can not LOCK the bootloader after unlocking it ! It will say RELOCKED so they always know that you at least habe unlocked the bootloader once !

HELP!
Hi Guys,
I've unlocked bootloader and followed this guide to root: (can't put in URL, but google 'HTC One X Rooting Detailed Guide Part 2: Steps to Root this Android Phone' on GuidingTech)
Problem being that when I get to the following step: Step 7: After the Nandroid backup is done, select Install Zip from SD card and flash CWN-SuperSU-vx.xx.zip (x.xx can be any number depending upon the update you are using).
I don't have that listed. I've downloaded SuperSU from the play store and as the option doesn't come up to move to phone storage, I'm presuming it's already on the SD card...?
Apologies, complete n00b being guided here - was doing well until this.
Can anyone help with why it's not in the list (it doesn't help that the screenshot is not very clear on that step)
HELP!

I unlocked the bootloader of my HTC WFS and installed twrp i installed a costume rom based on android 2.5.7 (alquez and it worked fine
but now whenever i turn on my phone it would stay on the white htc screen and even when i try recovery NOTHING
my HTC WFS is S-ON (GSM) PG7610
PS: I tried every tip i could find on XDA DEVELOPERS like
*GOLD CARD
*flash rom with RUU while phone is on FASTBOOT mode
*and since my phone is S-on i cant wipe the system via FASTBOOT
*i tried DIAG files but that only works for (CDMA) phones
*cant use ADB since phone wont boot
ANY THOUGHTS?
THANK YOU.

Hey pal first off, this is the wrong forum. This is the old wildfire forums not the wildfire s. But I shall help you out none the less
Since your phone is hboot unlocked but not s-off you need to flash your custom roms boot.img via fastboot just after you flash the rom via recovery. When you download the rom it comes in a zip file, unzip a copy of it and place the boot.img in your fastboot folder, then copy the zip to your sd card and then flash via recovery. Once it's flashed boot into hboot by using advanced reboot options I think its called. Then flash the boot.img using the command
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Where boot.img is the name of the .img you took from the zip file (just in case you have renamed it and don't know why the command is not working)
Then do fastboot reboot and the phone should boot up okay. You need to flash the boot.img for every rom change that you do. Also should you decide you want to run a RUU you must relock you hboot or it won't run.

HI.
firste off i would like to thank you for taking the time to responde to my question and im sorry about posting in the wrong forum.
i watched the XDA DEV noob video on youtube about being a noob so before i posted my question i looked through each and every post i could find about my phone s problem but NO LUCK so i decided to ask the experts
*i did relock my bootloader before i ran the Ruu and it didnt work it said main version too old and since my costume rom is based on andoird 2.3.7 and my htc can only go as far as 2.3.5 and ruu wont let you downgrade so i figured it might not work.
*now you suggested that i flash the costume rom via recovery and thats the problem i cant even get in to my recovery it just gets stuck on the white htc screen and i tried flashing the recovery Again (twrp) and nothing. even other recoveries wouldnt work.
*i flashed about 4 roms and they all worked just fine even this last one and i didnt flash the boot.img and i was able to reboot normally
THANK YOU.

Okay so, let's recap.
You are on a custom android rom.
You have a custom recovery installed.
Your cannot flash the RUU as your run version is higher than the RUU.
Lastly you cannot boot into your custom Rom, or your recovery?
Do you want to return to stick it get a custom Rom flashed?

at this point i just want to get pass that white htc screen i am sick of it
Q: if i flash a system via fastboot successfully will it automaticly erase the old one because i tried to erase it but it said remot controle not allowed (S-on)

ok, ive requested this thread be moved to its correct forum.
before proceeding can you tell me when your htc wildfire marvel was made? after 2012?
can you flash clockworkmod recovery and then try flashing a custom htc sense rom
Then reboot back into cwm recovery (by selecting advanced/ reboot-recovery in the menus) and plug the phone into your computer via usb cable. open up your command prompt and move to your adb folder. type the following commands ( a # denotes instructions and should not be typed into the command window)
Code:
adb devices
#this should show your device up, maybe saying its in recovery mode
adb shell
# the command prompt should change to a # symbol
Now make sure you have a sdcard in the phone and then run the following command
Code:
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img
This should leave you with a file called misc.img on your sdcard. Lastly
Code:
exit
exit
exit
your command window should have closed. now upload this file to a online storage system like dropbox and send me a pm with a link to it. I will edit it and you can flash it back, this will relock your hboot and downgrade your software version so that RUU's will work. then we will run a RUU, returning your phone to stock and functional state

Hmm.... Okay reflash twrp and see if it boots up. Without a recovery your options are limited. You need to be careful as your device uses a different kernel from older versions of the wildfire s. If you flash a older RUU version it will kill your phone.
Do you have any phone unlock shops near you?

Make sure when you go to the unlock shop you make sure they use an XTC clip http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/Unlocking/xtc_clip.htm
If they don't have it then do not pay for an unlock. You need s-off not SIM unlocked. Make sure to ask for it. Once your S-off you can run any RUU and fix the phone but check in here first so I can ensure that its compatible with your 2012 edition of the phone ( as I said flashing one that is too old will kill the phone!)
