Dual Booting on Wildfire S - HTC Wildfire S

Hey Guys, it's possible a dual boot on HTC Wildfire S? I would install Cyanogen Mod 7 + CyanoGen Mod 9 or other ROM.
Thanks
Ciao ragazzi, è possibile un dual boot su un HTC Wildfire S? Vorrei installare la Cyanogen Mod 7 + la Cyanogen Mod 9 o un'altra ROM.
Grazie

i seriously doubt it....wildfire s struggles for space as it is, without having 2 roms installed at the same time :O

Ok... but i have an HTC Wildfire and i have installed BootManager and i have 3 Roms...

If your phone is S-OFF(not BL Unlocked) then maybe
If it it is BL Unlocked,then no
If you have S-OFF'ed and BL Unlocked(Which is EXTREMELY STUPID),Then also the answer is no

I have a phone unlocked with HTC DEV...

BL Unlocked(aka BootLoader Unlocked) means unlocking from HTCdev..........so the answer is no
I have tried it myself(my phone is also unlocked from HTCdev),followed the instructions i got on asking the Bootmanager devs......Didnt work

Ok... So no hope? =(

Why is it extremely stupid to have an S-OFF phone with an unlocked bootloader?

Because an Unlocked bootloader restricts access to radio and a few other partitions
While S-OFF gives you total access to it........So by unlocking your bootloader while you are S-OFF,you purposely restricted access to partitions
In my opinion it is quite stupid

I don't think so.
In my opinion (which mostly is wrong) I think S-OFF + BL Unlocked = All S-OFF Features + just display of
****UNLOCKED****
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
BLA
BLA
That's what I think. It could also depend on the order of being done.
For example, I S-OFF my device and THEN get BL unlocked. There's a chance im restricted to modify radio or whatever since BL unlocked was the latest.
Second. I BL UNLOCK then I S-OFF. This way I get full control, despite having BL UNLOCKED.
Just my opinion.
And finally, @OP - Since the Wildfire has got Dual Booting And All, we may just need a dev to make a script that does it for OUR phone.

You maybe right,i'm no expert after all
But the reason why you can't dual boot on a BL Unlocked phone is that certain permissions are required for dual booting which only S-OFF phones can provide....
I've had talks with the Bootmanager devs via Email and they have explained me this stuff

Well, in conclusion we need S-OFF.

Dual booting is possible.
You must have installed full busybox.
If you firmware version is 2.26.401.3 boot manager did not work(i don't know how it will be in other versions)
You must have bootloader s-off, not unlocked from HTCDev. If you have unlocked it relock it and downgrade hboot to 1.08.0000(or something like that)
In boot manager probably phone setup will not work. Backup you boot partition from TWRP recovery. Boot rom from app. If you cant boot you phone rom flash boot img from fastboot or from TWRP.

This thread is EXTREMELY old..............I seriously see no reason to revive it, plus dual booting would actually imply towards installing 2 different roms on the phone or external storage and switching them conviniently, instead of using the recovery for it

You need to unlock bootloader from htcdev then you will be able to root.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using xda premium
he has s-off , no need for unlocked bootloader ! just run root from superoneclick found at here ... you'll guide yourself after downloading the file believe me ! It is the easiest rooting tool i ever seen !
Must be some kind of problem if he's s-off and it says locked oow.
Just double check in your bootloader and confirm if it says s-off or s-on.
If your s-off as I am then it should not say anything about locked or unlocked.
It looks like you successfully updated the bootloader [*** LOCKED (OOW) ***] but didn't finish the procedure at htcdev to get it unlocked. But in any case, it should root because you have S-OFF already.
SuperClick Root thing doesnt worl.
And yes and it is s off
have you tried zergrush, too?
Another theory would be, that the locked bootloader "overwrites" the S-OFF behavior somehow. You have 2 choices.
1) flash a hboot 1.08.0000 or whichever you want that is not from htcdev
or
2) finish the htcdev process and get your bootloader unlocked.
Hello i'm the person vinnyt is talking about, that is having the problem with rooting the HTC Wildfire S, it is a marvelc cdma phone from Metro pcs (USA service). I first used HTC Wildfire S - Unlocking Bootloader by Mstechify on youtube and i did this like the 2nd day i had my wildfire s and the first time i had an htc, so i had no idea about htc dev at the time, but anyway i did this method and i followed all the steps until the end when the program tells you to press any button to reboot, what i did was unplugged the phone but i noticed i was not rooted so i went to the the boot loader and noticed it said locked oow and it said s off so i tried almost all the root methods and tried to use htc dev, and htc dev just tells me that its the wrong RUU program so i don't know. Guys please help me all I want to do is temp. root to remove bloatware please help. thanks.
You need to unlock bootloader!

Follow this tutorial and remember to thank theq86

Did you tried out the the HTCDev.com Process.
HTCDEV.COM --> Choose Model --> Update HBOOT --> Now says "Locked OOW"
---> then Get the Token as directed by the HTC DEV.Com --> paste the token in textbox in htcdev.com ---> you got "unlock_token.bn" --> flash that using "fastboot" --> you got as "*** UNLOCKED *** ",
I hope that there is Nothing bother about S ON or Soff., My device is S-ON but Hboot is in "Unlocked" state, I already Flashed out Custom ROMS . Try out that
if you are s-off use simonsimons utility to unlock your bootloader and fastboot flash a custom recovery, then flash the superuser zip for full root

Doubt about S-OFF

May I know if One X is able to be S-OFF, is it mean that even the bootloader status is locked and we still can root and flash custom rom? How it different with unlock bootloader using HTCDev? sry for noob question..
No you need to be unlocked to root and flash custom roms. As of now HTCDev is the only method to allow unlocking.
Simple method. We don't know when Revolutionary will release their tool.
S-ON + LOCKED = You can only use official HTC firmware and only for the specific branded version you have.
S-ON + UNLOCKED = You unlocked it via htcdev. You're able to change the system and recovery images to allow for custom firmware. You can't alter anything regarding the baseband aka cell radio. HTC know you unlock via htcdev as they make you enter your serial number and other details to generate a phone specific unlock token. This will affect your warranty as any software caused faults are your own problem. General hardware warranty is still the same.
S-ON + RELOCKED = You relocked it after unlocking via htcdev. Same as S-ON + LOCKED except it shows you relocked.
S-OFF = No restrictions at all by the bootloader. You can alter everything. HTC don't let you do this and you need somebody else to work out a flaw in the bootloader to do it. Technically this voids your warranty as well but if you relock and don't leave any evidence that you did so then HTC won't know.

No one knows about S-off.
It doesn't mean we can root and flash custom roms even on the locked bootloader. It was a different and unofficial way of unlocking the bootloader which can be locked again when we need.
We can do the same thing even in this HTC dev method, I mean locking the bootloader, but after that the status of the bootloader will be RELOCKED not locked. That means HTC people may know that our device is already unlocked before.
One more thing (which I heard and I am not sure), we can't flash ported roms on our device unless and until we have S-off.

[Q] How to upgrade JB Firmware with a S-Off HOX

Guys,
I'm trying to get my JB flasher tool to work with S-Off devices. (Mine is S-On so I can't test)
Can anyone with a S-off phone that's upgraded the FW let me know the procedure. There seems to be confusion about which commands work with a locked bootloader and S-off so don't speculate, only respond if you know it works.
Specific question:
If you have a CID of 11111111 does it need changing to a compatible CID from the androidinfo.txt? If so, how? Does the bootloader need to be unlocked?
Can the bootloader be unlocked without htcdev code? If yes, how?
Can all fastboot commands be run with S-off but a locked bootloader?
Thanks
DO NOT UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!!!!
You will have to add the Super CID to the android-info.txt before flashing but other than that it's the same process as S-ON users

As easy as that. Thanks:good:
PS So S-off will ignore the broken signature?
Also, if someone has already unlocked their bootloader (due to not realising the power of S-Off ), I assume it'll need to be relocked before installing the firmware.zip?
PS Can boot.img be flashed via fastboot if its locked on a S-off phone?
Also, can I replace the recovery.img with CWM in the zip, or even just remove it. Same goes for the boot.img
If you're S-OFF you basically have the same rights as someone with an unlocked bootloader plus more so you can flash CWM/boot etc. through fastboot without unlocking the bootloader. As you said, S-OFF ignores the signature. So long as it's a proper update.zip it should flash without issues (I should qualify this by saying I'm basing this on my HTC Sensation and what I could/couldn't do with S-OFF. If I had an S-OFF One X I could give you a 100% answer)

SOFF HBoot direct flash to partition 11

Hi ,
I unlocked many new devices and now i get an M8 device with HTC dev unlock.
My last HTC was a desire s, so iam not up to date with HTC at the moment.
If i know a way to flash an unlocked hboot.img to mmcblk0p11 can i get troubles with THW phone?
HTC sells soff full unlocked devices, if i flash this partition to my device and Boot to bootloader and change then my cid must the m8 work normaly,right?
I want flash it not with the board HTC methode, but direct partition to partition.
If someone tried this vor can give me infos that wäre nice.
THX for help
Can't be done. Only way to get S-OFF is to use Sunshine
i dont think so.
Tried it with my desire x. Rootet and s-on. but for this device i had an hboot image from the same cid model.
What do you mean with that cant be done?
That its not possible because HTC security mechanism give me info like "is not possible because of..." or you mean the flash goes well but after that flash the device make trouble?
THX for help
Without S-OFF you have no access to any other partitions other than those required to flash a new ROM
Backup

Thats not right in all. Some ways are always there. I have made a backup of every partition from the M8 now.
I could flash it with a little trick, get no error message but i try it first with my old Sensation XE. Iam loooking for a Hboot right now for the XE and then i trust me to give the M8 a shot.
I will post what is happening
But you can't write the data back onto the phone without S-OFF

Simple question about being S-OFF

Hey everyone!
I have a question for y'all!
What can i do with s-off (but locked bootloader) besides changing the cid or mid?

-You have more access to firmware partitions, you can flash different firmwares, downgrade firmwares, change modems, etc.
-You can flash different region software, by changing your mid and cid as you said.
- If you do ever unlock your bootloader, you can use Sunshine to set it back to Locked and not just relocked.
- having your bootloader locked with s-off allows you to use apps like android pay without needing to flash custom kernels (it's been reported unlocking your bootloader trips safetynet and breaks android pay).
That's what I use s-off for.
Thank you very much @Tarima!
Another question that came into my mind now!
Without unlocking the bootloader but S-OFF'ed, root is possible? (i don't use android pay)

Yes you can root with s-off/locked. In fact, it's recommended to do s-off/locked rather than s-off/unlocked. One you're s-off you can flash TWRP, root, etc.
