Can i apply root using root.zip on stock recovery?
No you have to flash custom recovery to flash root.zip
If you are s-off or bootloader unlocked you can flash recovery via fastboot.
Later if you want to flash stock recovery,just extract it from any generic ruu and flash via fastboot.
was hoping that i can cause i tried almost all method here in installing custom recovery yet everyone of them gets stuck in black screen whith glowing button thanks for the help anyway

yeah sounds lik my friend's problem.got same because s-on.but can install another ruu by this method but dont sure it ll work or not because i tried but e:\ error.
Have u tried flashing from Hboot ??

directly installing a custom recovery & rooting might be possible in most other phones, but u gotta unlock the bootloader on the WFS. U can either switch S-OFF or unlock the bootloader by going to the HTCDEV site & follow the steps there..
hope that helps

be sure you have unlocked your bootloader.
I have cwm recovery on my phone with just s off not unlocked bootloader so I imagine its possible. And make sure you use the r8ght one for your phone like cdma or gsm.

I have been seeing posts saying that it is still S-ON after unlocked with HTCDev, is that true? And does the version of HBoot maters?
If it is still S-ON, may I ask, can I
Root the device
Flash recovery
Flash kernel
overclock
and Flash ROM
with S-ON?
I really want to help with my friend's Buzz.
#1 yes it does leave S-on but you are allowed to root your phone and from there you can install clockwork rom managar and flash clockwork recover and then you can install roms etc.
#2 Yes you will need to change the hboot, but they will prvide it in the instructions as the wildfire has an asterik for hboot upgrade via ruu.
Acording to heaps of people are using HTC Supertools to get root. Although i have a Desire HD, when i have used this i have not got root, but thats just seems to be me
It should work fine if done correctly.
Hope this helps.

As far as i know, the only thing you can't flash is the radio. I am not sure about kernel though.

Have you tried to get into recovery through the bootloader? (Press volume down + power).

You can't get into recovery when flashed it from rom manager by the bootloader option. You have to reboot into recovery from rom manager after flashing it from there cause it's not permanent.
I tried doing that too ,but it has the same result.
is there any way I can put cm7 without flashing into recovery ?
Or can I delete the recovery and put it again ?
My friend told me that if you have the image file of the Rom (which can be backed up from another wildfire having cm7), you can boot into that image and install cm7 .
can this happen ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
You need to install cwm first, Rom manager just gives you a temporary downgrade to flash some older zips which use a different script to newer ones.
I believe you can use fastboot to install it, guide here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
If you follow this guide that will get you cwm 4.x.x and allow you to flash cm7 from recovery, the latest version of cwm is 5.0.2.0 however and the img is knocking about in various places on this forum.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
okay ,now this i my bad .
I tried rooting through a site which was meant for the wildfire s .
so i erased the recovery and put clockworkmod recovery .
After 5 tries , i finally got into the recovery and installed CM7 in minutes
Thanks to all of you for help
Heh nice to hear you made it

First I tried to use the HTC super tool v3 to root my phone; that didn't work. I tried out the new "One Root for WFS" tool; all went well until I had to boot into recovery. I had already run into this problem once before when trying to flash CWM recovery. When I go to it, the screen just hangs at the HTC logo and I have to pull the battery to get out of it.
Why isn't this recovery working? Additionally, is there another way to obtain root without this recovery? (But I really just want a working recovery, to flash roms and make backups and whatnot.)

All I've done is unlock the bootloader through HTCdev. I assumed that was the same as s-off? The recovery seems to push through successfully, I've tried to flash it multiple times now.

Hi there!
I know there are a lots of questions like this but I'm just so stupid. I tryed to flash with Custom ROM with Clockwork recovery while I have S-ON. (My bootloader is "RELOCKED" if that plays some role).Now I'm stuck on the HTC logo. Can you please help me I'm so despered. Thank you.
Best advice runn the RUU to go back to stock, then use the AAHK TO ROOT your phone then you can flash a custom Rom.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
Thank you for the answer. Yes,but the RUU uses the adb so it doesn't work when there is no OS. I tryed to mount system,cache and data through the clockwork recovery but the error this time is that the RUU can't get information for the battery and the "Charge Only" mode. So that's not the way.
Did you relock the bootloader manually? How did you unlock it, using AAHK or via www.htcdev.com?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Yes it was relocked using htcdev.com but that was not so important. The bootloader just need to be locked no matter Locked or Relocked. The problem was that I had CWM Recovery installed and when the Bootloader checked every zip (PD98IMG) it was just going back to the menu with no errors. So I flashed an oryginal "Android system recovery (3e)" and the installation began also with no errors.
Ok, so find the right PD98IMG for your device and flash it from bootloader. Doesn't need recovery. You should be able to find links pretty easily in Google. Which country are you from and which carrier?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Thank you. I already did it , but my point was that you can't install PD98IMG without the original recovery.

That is wrong. You don´t need recovery to install RUU's. Those are flashed in hboot. If the file isn't working then or the RUU you are using is not the correct for u or the file is not renamed ok. But again RUU's don´t need recovery at all.
i am a little confused .... i rooted my desire hd and installed cwm recovery..... bootloader is unlocked but i couldnt get s off..... can i just install custom roms by putting zip in sd card and apllying that zip from cmw recovery or do i need s off !!!!!

No you do not technically need to be s-off. If you have cwm installed just install rom zip from there

In a nutshell, S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system nor can you guarantee a permanent root. Furthermore, signature check for firmware images is also ensured by the S-ON flag.

Quoted from here
If you are bootloader unlocked instead of S-Off, you also need to fastboot flash a boot.img after each time you flash a ROM from recovery.

Your in the wrong place my friend, you might want to look here for Roms for your device
My xposed modules sent working is it because I don't have s off? I'm rooted with twrp any advise
Hi all! I have a bit of time on my hands and seeing as my phone has been stupidly slow recently, I thought installing a custom rom would be a good idea.
I've read up on it a little (although probably still not enough) and have started by trying to root my Desire HD. I've been using the 'Easy Unlock Tool' to try and get it to s-off but every time I run it, I get stuck at "obtaining unlock token"
Where is it that I'm going wrong?
Easy Unlock Tool doesn't S-Off your phone or root your phone or flash a custom recovery. It merely unlocks your bootloader. Easy Ace Root Tool unlocks your bootloader, roots your phone, and flashes a custom recovery. But it also doesn't S-Off your phone.
Ah right, well it seems getting my device to be S-OFF isn't easy. Is it actually required to be able to install and run custom roms?
If so, what's the easiest way to do it? The only thing I've found is a guide for advanced users
Unlocking your bootloader also lets you flash custom ROMs.
Good news, I've managed to unlock my bootloader and root my device!
Now I'm just having trouble installing roms, every one I try seems to get stuck on the HTC screen on startup
You must flash the boot.img separately in fast boot, press power + vol down to get into hboot, and select Fastboot
