Use irc channel.

Revolutionary only gives s-off. To get root, flash the zip from their documentation page

Just try unlocking the bootloader from htcdev.com, don't download any ruu you're on the latest version. Maybe that will solve your problem.
You should then see
****UNLOCKED****
on top of your hboot.
Then try flashing cwm.

if the bootloader is unlocked, check that the CWM recovery u r flashing is speciafically for the wildfire s GSM/CDMA[whichever model u r using]..
might be that u r using an incorrect version of CWM.

Okay... Try alquez's cwm port. It may work. And as a last option try TWRP Touch ported by eoghan2t7.

Here is the Trick that is working....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725398

I have s-off but no root!

right guys, i managed to install a custom from through recovery which was the bliss 4.0 rom but it ended up being a bit laggy so i went into hboot mode and installed the 2.2 (1.34) again from the sd card pc10.zip (automatic update) and now it seems that i cannot do anything through rom manager now. I have downloaded an app to check if my device is rooted or not and it says "not rooted".
i am new to this and have followed a few guides to get to where i am and cannot seem to root my device at all. my statistics are:
vision pvt ship s-off
hboot-0.85.0005
microp--425
radio-26.03.02.18.m3
eMMc-boot
oct 11 2010.20:10:38
fastboot
recovery
factory reset
simlock
image rc.
what do i do to get permanent root??
thankyou very much.

Search googl for
"Cyanogen wiki htc g2 root"
Or
"Xda htc vision root"
You will have to relock your bootloader before following either guide

fastboot oem lock
I presume you use the "offical htc unlocked bootloader" to obtain s-off. You dont have true soff as you still have a shipped spl, you will need to relock your bootloader, downgrade then follow the rooting process from the cyanogen or xda wiki

Get the superuser zip from androidsu.com and flash through recovery
That is ALL that needs to be done if you already have a custom recovery

[Q] Help! HTC Buzz: Wildfire -Revoulutionary- HBoot 6.01.1002

Hi,
I am a new to XDA Developers and I only registered because I have a problem with my HTC Wildfire (Buzz). I need to downgrade my hBoot so I can unlock the bootloader. I didn't know about the bootloader having to be unlocked so I used Revolutionary. I had hboot 1.01.1001 at the time and it was a successfull root. I tried to boot to Clockworkmod Recovery to install Cyanogenmod 7.2.0 when a HTC phone picture came up with a red triangle with a '!' inside it. The specs of the phone are as follows:
Android OS: 2.1 (Eclair) (I downgraded from 2.2.1 recently)
hBoot:
-Revolutionary-
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.01.1002
MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL QTMEL03_16ac
RADIO-3.35.15.19
Nov 17 2010, 12:08:53
Please help! I really want to be on Cyanogenmod rom asap because stock is slow. I need to downgrade Hboot to 1.01.1001 (I don't know how) so I can unlock bootloader using HTCDev.
Thanks,
Welsh_Miner48

Why do you need to use HTCDev?? By doing that you void any chance of your warranty.
You need to flash a recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Assuming recovery is named recovery.img and it is placed in your fastboot folder.

I tried using ROM manager but as I said the picture comes up. What fastboot folder and recovery.img?

You need a fastboot folder and need to install the HBOOT drivers. See the first few steps of my rooting guide.

I got it now. I had to use the fastboot flash command with an older recovery image. I am now using Cyanogenmod 7.2.0. Thanks guys

S-On doesn't allow you to flash another recovery, to get permanent root and flash custom roms.
Unlocked bootloader (still S-On) allows you to di precedent things.
I don't know what S-Off does that is different from unlocked bootloader.
Unlocked bootloader is enough for most of us. I may have said something wrong, but that's how I understood this.

It also allows you total control of the hardware. Ie you can change the size of your mtd partitions so you have more space for apps. Which is very useful if your rom takes up very little space on the system partition. You can allocate that space back to data. Also should you some how kill the software, being s-off means that you can run any ruu without the phone telling you no. Upgrade and downgrade. You can also perform super cid (11111111) which allows you to flash roms from any network/country. Also if you manage to get hardware s-off via a software solution ( a radio s-off and not a hboot s-off) you can run the pj76diag.nbh from the lovely guys at the xtc clip and it will sim unlock the device to any network as well. But if you use the xtc clip its self it will automatically s-off, sim unlock and do supercid

Manny Thanks for the info!
