Hi there!
Info about my wildfire s:
Virgin mobile Canada
Marvel PVT Ship S-On RL
Hboot-0.90.0000
Microp-0451
Radio-7.53.39.03M
Android 2.3.5
Guess that's the last resort before i totally give up on that phone.
Here's my situation:
can't seem to unlock my bootloader using Htcdev method whatsoever.
When i type fastboot oem get_identifier_token, i always get:
(Bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
From what i have heard and guessed, it means my Hboot is not up-to-date.
(I was stock 2.3.3 btw)
Tried to flash some roms from the "Shipped Marvel roms collection" thread, and i get all sort of errors during the update, basically that the rom is older than mine.
I then resorted to that thread:
"[HBOOT] HBOOT update for EU users who's having problem with RUU":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432474
It worked...except it only updated the radio, not the Hboot... for the hboot part is only says "bypass", and then offer me to reboot the phone.
I also created a goldcard at some point.
While i can see its virtues, It did absolutely nothing for me.
Of course, i've been reading a lot of threads with problems simillar to mine, but didn't get any working solution out of it.
Here i am, and i sincerely hope someone can help me, because it's one good little phone, i like it, but we all know a device you can't root is a device you can't do much with, sadly.
Thanks a lot for the help!
You have not updated your bootloader to either 1.08.0099 or 1.09.0099 which are HTCdev unlockable.

I know that already.
My problem is exactly that: managing to update my hboot.
have you tried simons wildfire s utility v2 to do the BL-Unlocking? doesn't need htcdev i think...give it a try

have you tried to take the hboot from a htcdev ruu, making a pg**img.zip with it inside and an androidinfo.txt and boot to bootloader to see if it will update? i cannot see why it wont, it shouldnt affect your rom (which will be carrier related) and IS htc signed. you might just get away from with ^^ after that, if it works use simonsimons unlock tool
Thanks Gloris and Heavy_Metal_Man, i'll try both, see how it turns out and report the results.
Didn't work.
To hell with this phone, i've been wasting to much time on this, that's the first time i have so much trouble unlocking/rooting a phone.
I'm done with HTC i believe, that locked bootloader really is a cheap shot from them.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the help, guys.

I did the unlock, please help out olun.htc dev, boot version was updated to 2.00. Is there a solution that does not downgrade
actually i don't really understand your problem, but i guess you unlocked your bootloader with htcdev... but what is exactly your problem?

So root. I still don't see what your problem is. Unlocking bootloader is similar to root as far as I understand.
the problem .. I'll write to you for your interest in a full turn of English nThanks
I installed bootloader from the HTC DEV site.After ı did it ,hboot version was updated.So ı can not do downgrade and root.it says ‘’wrong’’.it is like this: MAIN VERSION IS OLDER.

htc bootloader has an option to return to stock, or lock bootloader i think, which would return to previous version of hboot. let me check it out.
blah, i have too many devices to burn lol..
EDIT: is your bootloader now locked or unlocked?
locked the device again..

Ok so your device is SHIP son not ENG which is almost the same just a bit different in how you flash radios etc.
Now after it had been locked again, use AAHK Advanced Ace Hack Kit. The tool can be found in dev section. Let AAHK run its thing. It will complete root in 10 minutes or so. Please READ as much as you can and as many times as possible before rooting. Non English speaking useres find it especially hard and then come back with even a worse problem then before just for the lack of reading and understanding.
Aftet you have used AAHK your device will be rooted, you will have SHIP S-OFF and you can flash any custom ROM you'd like.

I used the HTCDEV unlock to unlock until I found the GoldCard S-OFF method to S-OFF and S-OFF, as we all know > Unlocked bootloader. I used theq86's tool to relock to the original state.
My first question is: what does the "OOW" mean? I have that it means "Out of Warranty" and that it means absolutely nothing.
My second question is: can I downgrade to my original HBOOT? I do not the remember the version, but I'm sure someone out there knows.
My third question: if I downgrade HBOOT, will I lose S-OFF? It's no big deal if I do, I just want to have my GoldCard ready.
Fourth: If I downgrade to the original HBOOT will it still report "LOCKED (OOW)" or will it just say "LOCKED" and does that have any benefit over "LOCKED (OOW)" (I have heard that it does when sending the phone back to HTC.
I simply want my phone to look as stock as possible (with the exception of my ROM, which can easily be stocked) in case it needs to be sent to HTC.

It is not confirmed, but it seems to be Out Of Warranty because if you flash this bootloader HTC will reject warranty
My second question is: can I downgrade to my original HBOOT? I do not the remember the version, but I'm sure someone out there knows.
Yes, you can. Use my tool again and choose the third option "superversion"
Afterwards flash a STOCK RUU and hboot will be downgraded as well.
My third question: if I downgrade HBOOT, will I lose S-OFF? It's no big deal if I do, I just want to have my GoldCard ready.
I don't know, but S-OFFing again is no problem if it really goes away.
Fourth: If I downgrade to the original HBOOT will it still report "LOCKED (OOW)" or will it just say "LOCKED" and does that have any benefit over "LOCKED (OOW)" (I have heard that it does when sending the phone back to HTC.
If you downgrade HBOOT it will neither show LOCKED, RELOCKED or UNLOCKED because the standard hboots do not check this.
I simply want my phone to look as stock as possible (with the exception of my ROM, which can easily be stocked) in case it needs to be sent to HTC.

10 chars. my answers in red.
When you say to flash a stock RUU do you mean one of the ones from HTC Dev or elsewhere? Can you provide a link. If it would help, I have a marvelc with Virgin Mobile US.
In the dev section there is a thread where many many stock rom RUUs are. so take a look at there. it's one of the sticky posts.
To downgrade your bootloader, since your s-off just take the ruu with the bootloader of your choice. Extract the rom.zip. open it up and you will find a file called bootloader or hboot or something to that effect. Take that file and the android update.txt file. Zip them both up and rename it pg76img.zip
Put it in the root if your sdcard and boot into hboot. The phone will find the update and just flash it. Done

Is there a specific ROM I should be running? Using simonsimon34's CM7 port and with my PC running Windows 8 Consumer Preview (with HTC Drivers) I am told that the RUU utility is unable to find the Android phone.
Do I need a ROM with HTC Sync?
Which method are you trying?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
I'm just trying to run the RUU.exe.
EDIT: I installed Vista and so far it appears to work. I'm going to wait until later to actually go all the way through. (I just went far enough for it to verify my "PDA phone".)

Hello again
short story
unlocked my bootloader via htc dev, tried every effort but couldnt install recovery on it.
its on 3.13.161.5 and the hboot is .0027
i somehow relock its bootloader thinking to unlock again and then proceed with root privilidge via ahc but failed
each time i tried to push via adb, it comes with err: verifying signature failed etc
cant flash cwm or any other via fastboot
i have nand of my other dhd (on orange)
can i use the nand( of orange) to revert back to stock and then unlock bootloader and flash recovery...?
or
how do i upgrade to .0029 from .0027 Hboot
Simple question but i cant find answer, may be mixed with things, just need some direction to point out...!
cheers

I mean back to stock without facing issues with bootloader unlocked
Or if I can upgrade my bootloader
My concern is to flash Rom
The mistake u made causing all this mess is I choose relocked option from ahkit
But it does not shows any on screen message to select relock
However my observation is its only a single thing I am missing
After relock I tried to unlock but err failed message
Can fastboot flash recovery either
And additionally can't proceed with anything other then receiving error signature failed
Some one please direct me towards right direction.....

I don't get what you are trying to do, but if are already unlocked I don't get how you still have 0027 hboot version. Use the links in my signature to find out what the procedure is...
please have a look
also my software build is the higher one(3.13.161.5) i cant find any update at htc developers web
however as i mentioned before you can clearly see the one in attached image
unlocked one is the one i asked you last time to fastboot flash boot image it was originally on orange but left one is on vodafone uk

Seems that your build version is not supported to update the hboot. You need to create a goldcard and flash a supported RUU first.
I have xtc clip with me
Gold card will be done but which correct ruu...? :banghead:

Hello everyone
I'm new and I read a lot of info in the forum after adding this thread. I just want to make sure what to do, please. Don't want a bricked phone
I recently bought a HOX Quad tegra 32gb from China by mail, comes with local chinese system.
After checking the rooting I was trying without success to install a sense based rom, like ordroidx and viperx. Can't boot after the installation. Even with fastboot boot.img command.
Finally the CM10 Rom could boot the device, but I want to get the apps based in the sense framework.
My guess is that the problem is with the hboot version.
So I tried to update Hboot from the version I have 0.43.0000 with JBFWTOOL21 and it stops sending me to this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604
and telling me to download a RUU to be able to update my Hboot
Also tells that my device-main software is 1.29.401.11
The link doesn't work and I'm worried about choosing a ruu that ruins my phone.
Please give and advice.
This is the info from Hboot screen:
ENDEAVORU XE SHIP S-OFF RL
CID -HTC_621 (before it was 11111111, but JBFWTOOL21 change it when I tried to update hboot)
HBOOT-0.43.0000

Hello guys,
I'm pretty new to the forum, thats why I'm not sure if theres another topic as this one.
Anyway I've bought an HTC One M8 from a guy on the internet. Well, I've received it today and tried to start it. The first thing after the HTC-Boot-Logo is the Bootloader. I've tried to factory reset the phone - didn't help.

Post the results of fastboot getvar all here and we should be able to figure out the proper firmware/RUU for you to flash. Edit out your IMEI and serial# first before posting it.
Stuck in fastboot is the expected result after relocking the bootloader, as it expects RUU to be run.
Provide the getvar details requested by xunholyx in the previous post, and we can direct you further.
If no RUU for your version, the other option is to unlock the bootloader again, install custom recovery TWRP, and restore a stock TWRP back (or alternately a custom ROM).
But we need more info in order to determine which way forward, what files to use, etc.

run the ruu maybe this can fix your problem . if you flashed ruu and still facing the same problem maybe its your phone battery problem or board issue try to put it on charge then try to turn it on again .

The advice (run RUU, if his version has one) has already been given. It's not value added to give that advice again, until we have more info about the device (getvar data already requested twice); since the OP gave basically zero specific details.

Okay, I tried to flash TWRP and to unlock the bootloader again. nothing worked. And if I want to get more information with getvar there is nothing showing up - it's just loading forever... So I decided to change the Motherboard of my HTC, and well.. Now it doesn't work anymore... But still: thanks for trying to help guys!

Wow, you were probably not justified in trying to replace hardware; and probably an overly hasty decision. It was probably a fairly simple matter to recover via software related solutions. You probably were just not following the steps correctly.

Too late now, it looks like you ruined the phone. But FYI, you can't flash TWRP with a locked bootloader; it's simply impossible. So unlocking the bootloader should have been your main focus.
Fastboot not connecting is usually an easy matter to troubleshoot. Usually a matter of drivers on the PC, or a different cable, different USB port on the computer.
You also can't unlock the bootloader without fastboot. So that was probably the reason why your attempts to unlock the bootloader failed. Again, it probably would have been easy to get fastboot working, then either RUU (after giving us the getvar info); or unlock bootloader and install TWRP.
But probably too late for any of that, now.
