Hi everyone,
as my username suggest I'm a noob of the worst kind!:good:
My problem is that somehow I managed to root my phone (on htc dev)
and without backing up anything I installed
cm-7-20120616-UNOFFICIAL-marvel
Now, this rom is great but..
-I'm having issues with the gps navi (I already looked into it
and instelled a fix)/(which is not that bad I can live with what it is right now but still sometimes gps freaks out and gives wrong infos)
-the youtube apk don't work (and youtube mobile too)
-the quality of the videocam shoots is not the best..
so, like a proper noob I decided to go back the the stock rom
just to find out is not easy at all!!
I followed so many tutorials on the xda site (always failing)
and now I'm tring to make a last SOS before moving to a new phone
I love my wildfire and it would be so sad to abandon it,
so
since I keep failing I though that I might be ignoring some major issue that i don't even know!
so giving you my specifics might be the right way
to understeand what direction I should follow to install the stock rom
here's my data
Wildfire S UMTS S-ON
Android 2.3.7
CM 7.20120616
MARVEL PVT SHIP SON RL
H BOOT - 1.09.0099
RADIO7.57.39.10
thanks for the time guys!cheers
I'm assuming you have the HTC Wildfire S A510e.
Try the cm7 ROM from this link http://d-h.st/mwM
The original thread is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226765&page=189
This is supposed to have a fix for youtube. You'll still need to flash the d33ps1x gps fix. And if you still don't like the cm7 and want to return to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1325730
Scroll down to stock ROMs and pick the one that is suitable for you. Otherwise, if you still have the RUU*.exe from Unlocking the Bootloader, try that. It should work.
thanks, Im gonna try this

So I installed the CM ROM u seggested and everything seems smooth and nice,
the only problem I'm having is that the google app pack will install normally but nothing comes up when rebooting the rom, is there any specific pack i should use?

guys hello,
i am new at the android "scene"
andd i need some help. a lot of people report that oxygen v2 rc5 is a lot
faster-smoother than htc sense. now from what i read it's based on gingerbread
right? and if so if i flash my DHD will i be able to root? and if yes could you provide
a noob's guide to flash my DHD?
thanx in advance.
Oxygen, isn't that for the standard desire? CM6.1.3 is fast and android stock. Isn't gingerbread yet though.

ok so do you have any other rom to suggest.
i am looking for one that isn't lacking any features,
is stable and has a smoother scrolling look on like an
iphone.
ps: no i don't want an iphone i just want my brother
who has one to stop using the only advantage of his phone
over mine to annoy me.
Just backup your existing Rom and start flashing Rom's. LeeDroid is popular, I run CM6.1.3 which I think is very good. Have a play and see what you like. Enjoy.

one last thing --> how do you flash a new rom???????
Read the sticky threads on the developers thread. You really need to understand what your doing before going any further.

ok thanx, will do.
ok so i got everything figured out. it's not as difficult as i thought
but there's a small problem. i install clockworkmod recovery from rom manager
but when i get into recovery i see the phone with the triangle. then i press
volume+ and power and the menu appears but it only has the 4 basics
no nandroid. what do i do?

Sounds like you don't have s-off. If you don't have s-off your recovery will be restored to the factory version when you reboot.
Go to the development section and grab the "one click radio s-off" tool. It will take care of the problem for you.

ok gonna try that thanx.
read and do this first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=841076
then choose any rom from the development section .. place the downloaded file on your sd card .. reboot into recovery choose install zip from sd card .. navigate to your downloaded file and install
I would recommend Android Revolution HD or Leedroid if you are looking for something very stable ..
ok guys thanx for your help but idecided not
to flash because i did some tricks and now my phone running fine.
1)uninstalled task manager (i am on froyo and you know the rest. haha)
2)uninstalled setcpu (i read somewhere that it may cause problems when running even if not profiles or any sort of overclock are active. that was the case with me, although i will miss the 245mhz screen-off profile.)
3)reduced my widgets and pages from 9 to 3 and 6 to 2 respectively
4)changed some options in launcher pro
these resulted in no more fc's and a lot smoother scrolling in menu, sms, homescreens etc.
despite the fact that when i scroll slowly between homescreens it's a bit laggy.
overall great.
thx again guys. if nothing else, i learnt a lot.
Okeydokey. I installed a custom ROM ( VillainRom3.0 ) last night, and it has messed up a few things :/. Most apps randomly blank out and crash instantly - wifi doesn't work, phone freezes.
I'm rather new, and most of this stuff does confuse me; anyone able to post simple step by step of how to get a suitable kernal for VillainRom3.0 ?
EDIT: It also removed CWM and Superuser from the App menu :/

I was running villain rom with the standard chainfire kernel that most start with and that was stable - I must say though I wasn't too impressed with it - recently installed Westcrip's Resurrection ICS remix and boy am I happy I did! - if you want villain though just search for a compatible rom using the last letters from your baseband version - that normally does the trick! Good luck
I've found an old backup laying around, and got to installing that, so VillainRom is no longer on their. I'm back to a rooted firmware and that's it.
BUT: Now my computer ( nor any other ) recognises when It's pluggedin via USB :/.
I have this issue flashing some newer roms lately, not sure what it is.
To get back to a stock rom/rooted rom use the methods listed under the dev section of your phone that are the initial root direction using odin or something similar.

If you want really smooth ROM (and of course you love Sense) then flash Kwbr ROM.
I am on CM7.2 but never faced any FCs so far
will it work....?

I'm a bit confused- that doesn't look as if you flashed Kwbr ROM...? The .exe files definitely aren't for flashing. What guide(s)/tutorial(s) did you use?
An ruu will give you a completely stock phone and in 9/10 cases will fix all software faults, if your still experiencing touchscreen problems after running an ruu then it could be a hardware fault and you may need a new digitiser.

Build number 2.22.405.1
Browser version 3.1
Kernel version 2.6.32.21-g0f9e9bs
I have a problem with youtube not working i get an error message "ATTENTION There is no network connection right now. Please try again later." I can't access youtube via the app or through google. I believe the app is pre installed as the option to uninstall the app is grayed out.
Thought of a great plan to root my phone to uninstall the app and then reinstall. I don't know what im doing i d/l'd Kingo root, ticked the box for debugging mode but can't find the S-on option to turn off.
In summary i just need to get youtube working again the above is how far i have got but couldn't say if im in the right direction so need guidance.
Thanks guys.
Hi, welcome to the forums have you tried deleting the apps data from settings/apps/YouTube? And have you tried using WiFi?
If you want to root you will probably need to use revolutionary to gain s-off. Just follow the guides in the general section and the wildfire index from the dev section

I might just be a little tired but im not finding this as easy to navigate as other forums, could you direct link me to the links you mentioned.
The uninstall icon has been grayed out so it won't allow me to.

Got to the S-OFF instructions where it tells me to download a program to help with back dating my phone. Only maybe my anti-virus has drawn up a false positive but its saying its a trojan horse virus.
Possible the site could have been infected?
Also, i don't have a microSD card so do i skip the step or is there something else to it?
EDIT.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
OK, this is not the thread I thought it was. What specifically is coming up as a trojan horse?
If it is anything it will be psneuter, which is a false positive.
Can you boot into hboot and tell me what version you have? ( power off fully and then power back on using volume down and power at the same time. The screen with show a bunch of numbers on a background you will probably not have seen before, tell me them. Battery pull and then reboot with power button to return to normal)
Also a SD card is mandatory, for the whole process, no sdcard - no s-off pal.

Congratulations download an app called root uninstaller. Use it to uninstall YouTube and then redownload from then play store if that still doesn't help try flashing cyanogenmod 7 and gapps and see if that improves any. Remember to make a nandroid back up from your custom recovery, as if anything goes wrong it is a life saver

Ok watch this video for making a back-up, remember that when you are in the recovery you need to use the trackball to select and push it in to confirm. just do as i do
then download this CM7 and this gapps.
then place the onto your sdcard in whatever way you prefer and reboot back into recovery.
then watch this video
and that will be you sorted pal

Heavy metal you been an absolute star, the only guy bothering to help me out with this. Managed to root my phone and got me interested in making customisation to it in the future, il probably start with the background as it looks boring :good: Also sorting out a backup is a true necessity anyways and the vids a time saver.
However what i have just found out to my dismay would be that youtube doesn't send for updates automatically and doesn't tell you about it when you really need to either. So it wasn't a bug at all. On the plus side i have a root software, back up and an sd card...:victory:
Signing off til the next time my phone stops working.

I'm glad your all sorted out pal I've found that this wildfire forum in its day was a hive of activity with plenty of people dev'ing and helping each other out, but as she gets older the people leave. I'm happy to help out here as this is where I was helped first and show the kindness to combat my noob questions. Also a funny thing is that I only found xda and this forum and started all my interest in YouTube was because my wildfire had issues with the YouTube app on froyo!

I think that Google has dropped support for the froyo version of android. Which means that you must either s-off your phone and flash a custom ROM on gingerbread or higher (guides in the general section) or buy a new device that has a newer android version. Or keep using it via web browser pal.

can you explain your situation a little better? cyanogenmod dropped support for the Evo4g awhile back, was it a Stable rom you flashed and not a nightly? maybe you should try out another rom.
I suggest trying cyanmobile. It is gingerbread based so hdmi, 4g, etc all work but it has many jb features built in. Also has a massive amount of custom settings you wont find in any rom anywhere.

my suggestion is that you should flash a different ROM and see if your Bluetooth will still work. as for the order, grab what rom you want first (make sure its for your phone HTC evo4g supersonic and not the HTC evo4g view or LTE) and depending on what version of android the rom is you need to download Gapps (this gives you the necessary apps in order to be able to sign into your gmail and download apps off the app store) from here http://goo.im/gapps choose which one the Roms Android version is and put both the rom and gapps onto your phones SD card. boot into your recovery, backup your current rom then wipe and reset. after thats done flash the rom first then after flash your Gapps and reboot and check your wifi and Bluetooth.
thank you
ty to all who helped i have fixed it
