[Q] Unable Root HTCWildfire-A333

Hi Guys,
Having Problem in Rooting for my WildFire-A333.
Find Below are my Specifications.And Yes I tried both SuperClick and UnRevoked but it seems doenst work.
Model:HTCWildFire-A333,
S-ON(Unable to do S-OFF),
HBoot:1.02.0000,
Android 2.2.1,
Kernel Version:2.6.32.21-g6c55ee4
HELP!!!!
Thanks

How did you get that hboot, did the phone come with it? Never seen it before. Try to go to revolutionary.io and try to downgrade your hboot so you can s-off. After you have s-off you can then root and custom rom like mad ;-) if you can't downgrade the you can go to htcdev and get your bootloader *unlocked* but that will void your warrenty and they will definitely know about it.

Looks like you have updated the HBOOT from HTCDev site.
If yes you can use HTCDev site Bootloader unlock tool to unlock your bootloader which will make your device rootable. (it will still show S-ON though).

Nop,HBOOT came with this device itself.
i tried both htcdev,they says unable to bootloader for this ROM.

The HBOOT must have been updated somehow. Is it a new phone or did you get it second hand.
Did you try HTCDev method from the steps after the HBOOT update is done.

Nop its not updated it is as it is which i bought almost 1 year ago.
Its Not Second Hand
Yes I tried and result was unsuccessful.(ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED)
it says your rom version is not supported currently,but there will be an update soon that will be supported.
i have selected "hTC Asia India" as carrier. is it wrong??

I believe first you tried to update HBoot which failed then you tried to unlock bootloader without updating HBoot and that also failed.
If that is the case you have two options.
1. Search the forums to downgrade your HBoot to 1.01.0001, if you can successfully downgrade your Hboot you can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF.
2. Wait sometime to see if HTCDev site gets updated with support of your ROM and then try again.
Also if your existing ROM is India specific then you should select "HTC Asia India"
Mine is 2.25.720.1 CL299250 release-keys which is for India.

hello ,
i unlocked my bootloader using htc dev website ,and then i rooted the phone using gingerbreak v1.2.
the phone got rooted successfully but when i tried flashing CM7 on my phone ,through rom manager ,my phone restarted after asking superuser for permission .
after the restart , the phone hangs with a white screen with HTC logo .
i had flashed clockworkmod recovery before getting CM7 .
i tried going to recovery from bootloader and from pc .
please help guys ,i am really stuck in here .

sorry but this may help. Install CM7 using recovery not through rom manager. This may fix your problem.I hope =)

Hi.. u just try rooting your phone again using "unlockroot" one click tool(www.unlockroot.com) (as i did) or use htc super tool ...
Later install cwm recovery via fastboot method..plzz dont do it via rom manager as it just gives a temp recovery...
Then you can install custom rom's by going into cwm recovery..
IMP: make a backup of ur existing rom b4 flashing a custom rom and do a data reset b4 flashing..
hope this helps....

Still Not working Guys,please help I am just fed up with this message"low memory disk space"
Want to root anyhow..HELP!!

Sorry - I have followed the HTCDev side and I have unlocked the bootloader (it shows nice 'UNLOCKED' on power+volume down on boot). However I cannot find a way to actually root the device. How can I do it?

Thanks. I have successfully flashed clockworkmod. Then I've made nandroid backup (and flashed cyanogenmode - it seems to be much more responsive).
The only alteration was that I have used the fastboot utility from Google Android SDK.

[SOLVED]update OTA without relocking the bootloader

dear XDA members ,,, as i got a lot of solutions in this form and i see the OTA updates are making problems for many users ,,, here is the solution for people who unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM recovery ......
ON STOCK ROM ...
1- you dont need to relock the bootloader ..
2- download voodoo rootkeeper .. (from market) and run the program and click protect root.
3- you will need your original recovery that you changed to CWM ..
example: if you had 1.28.415.9 and you installed CWM then you need recovery.img for 1.28.415.9 .
install the stock recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24738635#post24738635
4-install recovery.img from fastboot ..
5-boot into phone and OTA update the one x to 1.29.xxx .
6-after update is done just open rootkeeper and click restore root ,,
7-DONE
a big thanks for xda members and im happy to help ...

Actually I never really had to relock the bootloader to apply an OTA... just flashing the stock recovery and keeping the unlocked bootloader + rooted custom ROM did the trick for me... Tho its not a really good idea to install an OTA patch on top of a custom ROM.

i added ( FOR STOCK ) what i know if you have custom rom you wont receive OTA ... will you ???!!!! ... my solution is about if you are still on Stock ...
if you search google youll see people talking about locking the bootloader and removing root and all kind of crap ...

...since the radio is part of the rom now and the only "advantage" of flashing a RUU is an hboot update.
So what is the "advantage" of an newer hboot? If someone finds an exploit on the 0.43 hboot which is fixed on newer hboots you gonna cry (-:
So my advice..stay on lowest hboot until we get S-OFF.

I also didn't have to relock my bootloader.
Just restored my default back up with cwm before root. Fastboot restore to original recovery (stock), update and done. Went back to fastboot and restored cwm, rooted the phone and done.

May I post this in the HOS Section ? Thanks

What i did was flashed stock recovery, downloaded and installed the update done, that's all i did and root was intact, that was like last month

I'm still haven't issues installing the OTA update.
I followed your instructions and I still get the red triangle error
EDIT:
just did some fishing, and it's because my stock rom is so heavily modified that the OTA won't update anything

hi, quick check, do i still need to flash back CWM or it will include back CWM?

the OTA will not include CWM, as CWM is not stock.

that is a normal RUU, you have to run it on your PC with the phone connected, it won't void your warranty cause RUU are released by HTC... we can say that it is a sort of upgrade that must be done from the PC go on with that don't worry... does the vodafone logo appears on bootanimation or splash screen? cause if it is a splash screen you can't change that due to NON S-OFFed phone

Do I need to put the phone in some downloading mode or it must be just on?
Thanks for your reply.
Well when I turn on my phone I get the HTC logo, then that Vodafone logo and then again the HTC logo with the beats audio.

no, you can both connect the phone while is booted up or while it is in bootloader mode, but i would recommend the second one... the vodafone logo, from what i've understood, is part of the bootanimation so it is easly removable (only if you have root)

Ok, how about if I root the phone remove the logo then unroot and flash the ruu?
Is this possible, cause I still want to use the official firmware.
Thanks again mate for helping me out on this.
I used to have an SGS2 and it was way more simple to flash it.

What's your cid? (use cid getter to find out) Maybe your hox is branded. Then you are unable to remove the logo by flashing the ruu.

While flashing the ruu the cid is checked. If it does not fit to the cids its made for it won't flash.

probably you'll find your firmware upgrade in this thread but that will require a lot of time!

Ok, so i saw last night that the latest firmware + hboot is out for my Phone CID VODAP102 and ive decided to flash this firmware with hboot 1.3.6 and install the latest Ordroid Rom 12.1.0, from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836919
I was just wondering why in the Ordroid thread says that you need at least 1.3.1 hboot and when you install Ordroid it says that you need hboot 1.3.9?
Anyway ive installed it and i dont have any issue so far, just a lil change i guess that it comes with the JB.... i guess.... is this normal when you connect the USB cable from pc to phone not to get the option to choose the connection? (charge only , disk drive...etc)
If anyone have this Rom please confirm this to me.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all of you guys!!

Yes those options have been removed in JB.
Its same for everyone who has updated to JB.

I see you're using Maximus ROM how's that?
Any difference between Maximus and Ordroid ?

Right now i am on insert coin 15.0.0
All custom roms are pretty much same be it maximus or ordroid.. few of them are themed and rest based on stock look.

if you want a fully themed customized ROM with a lot of Tweaks, wait for the JB Viper X ROM

[Q] Unlocking bootloader & warranty

Hey,
I have just a small question. I want to root my HTC One X and a few months ago when I was checking XDA it was needed unlock bootloader via HTC Dev. My question is if it is still necessary to unlock phone via HTCDev to do successful root or if its another way cause I don't wanna lose warranty on my device.
Greetings
Michal

No other way, you have to do it with htcdev and yes it could void some warranty.

u have to go to HTC-dev to obtain unlocking code but u can use this tool 4 rooting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439 ... btw this tool is noob friendly just read carefully... and I DONT RECOMEND anything else but rooting since there is an update to arrive ( i made a mistake by installing CWM , and 4 update is needed stock recovery and locked bootloader ) ( i had my ass off arround here to remake things backward ))

on the note of updates. Beware once you upgrade your hboot you can't go back. Unless you have an S-OFF device that allows you to downgrade your hboot version. And Jellybean sense rom is not worthwhile all the trouble honestly.

Hi,
it depends on which sense Rom you're talking abouit. Some are 100% working :good:
Anyway, as said below, if you upgarde Hboot to 1.31, you won't be able to downgrade exept if you have S-OFF.
Hboot 1.31 doesn't mean you can not try other ics Roms.
My 2cent ...

I'm not talking about the jelly sense being 100% working or not. I'm talking about having hboot upgrade which makes it a hassle if you want to flash ics roms. and the performance isn't something that is out of the ordinary anyway. Unless you really love sense that much

@miczk: Unlocking = loosing warranty. That's weird I know

Thanks for responds,
my goal is Cyanogenmod or MIUI which I loved while I was using Desire. I have some piece of experience with rooting and flashing etc so its not a huge problem for me.
The new thing is that I have to flash every time a new bootloader img. On Desire I flashed CM7 r2 and everything ran smoothly. Now Its gonna be a bit more complicated. I also see something about kernels, is there any need to flash custom kernels or everything will be ok without them?
If I use the All-in-one Toolkit it will unlock my bootloader, root phone, flash recovery? After that I will just update bootlader via command prompt, restart it and flash ROM via recovery?

update bootloader? you mean hboot version? If you want to update your hboot version then you should stay locked and update the official one. That way you don't have to unlock and re lock again. If you want to use CM or MIUI you don't need to upgrade your hboot . It would render your GPS useless. Though it's still your choice. Since jelly sense people are all on the hype about how fast it is and how smooth it is. lol. All I see is placebo.
And yes it is a bit of a hassle with the S-ON where we have to manually flash the boot img via fastboot, sigh. And as far as using custom kernel it is 100% your choice too. You can stick with the stock kernel provided by the rom or use other custom kernels. But from the amount of reading I have been seeing. The stock isn't really optimised for anything.
As for the toolkit I never bothered with it. I prefer I do it myself rather than relying on a toolkit and not know what's gonna happen while it runs. You might want to ask to the toolkit thread about it or read the thread.

No, I mean update bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817633 --> step 5 = Fastboot flash boot boot.img ). For example MIUI reqiures to flash custom bootloder, not HBOOT. I dont wanna upgrade HBOOT cause i guess its not necessary for my reqiuments. Also I think that S-OFF is useless for my intention.

Did you re-lock the bootloader before trying to flash the RUU?
Also "it didn't work can someone fix it" doesn't really give us any information. What exactly isn't working.

To fix your touchscreen issues you need to go back to stock and update your device while on stock to get your bootloader to 3.19 as 3.18 is known to give touch issues especially with ROMs. If no updates are available then you must wait for the update to be pushed to your device model.
Also, you can't just use an RUU while your on a custom ROM. You have to restore a nandroid backup of your stock device with root, unroot, reboot to bootloader, flash stock recovery, and then relock bootloader. Start up your phone and at this point now you can use the RUU.
The only time you can do an RUU restore from a custom ROM, especially CM; is on devices that have S-Off as they completely wipe and reflash entire parts of the system.
Finally, the zip that miniwhooper posted has SD write permissions enabled along with init.d support and busybox.
This zip can be used during the root process instead of using the SuperSU zip by chainfire.
