Hello,
My friend has a htc wildfire phone and he asked me to root and install cyanogenmod for him. I was planning on installing this particular rom on his phone : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143125
Before installing this rom, I followed these guides to debrand, root and install cwm recovery on the phone:
1.[REF/GUIDE] [29/07] The Complete Wildfire Index
2.[FULL GUIDE] Rooting HTC Wildfire (BUZZ) 2.2.1 with HBOOT 1.01.0002 !! (5/8/2011)
3.[Full Guide] All in one - De-branding, rooting and flashing for all HBOOT versions
I am having problems with unlocking the BL. I cant seem to get the HBOOT down to 1.01.0001. Tried the htcdev method and was able to unlock my BL but my HBOOT ver. is now 1.20.xxxx and i am not able to root the phone. I had tried all of 3 guides above to debrand the phone but no success.
In the buzzdowngrade part of the instructions, i successfully complete the step1.bat and the gold card part. Step2.bat also completes but when i go back into HBOOT i saw no change, hence i went the htcdev way and now my HBOOT is 1.20.xxx Any advices how to root now??

Hello,
I've look through many threads and also googled the problem.
So perhaps, someone can help me.
I've rooted my desire with Unrevoked3. I got SU right on my desire.
But I can not get S-OFF.
In the bootloader I see S-ON.
So i can't flash an new HBOOT image on my phone.
So what's wrong?
Can someone help?
Greetings
First have a read on http://alpharev.nl
Here is the video tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084 (step four)
Just remember when S-OFF'ing you need a stock rooted froyo ROM, no 'data2ext' ROM's or it wont work.
What do you try to get s-off? With unrevoked you cannot set your phone to s-off, you have to use alpharev:
http://alpharev.nl
Ahh...
So, i have to use a rooted stock ROM like the one from MoDaCo.
And then I ccan flash the hboot image.
Is that right?
I am new as well. But I think the safest way would be to flash your RUU and start from scratch. Here is a video showing you how to flash your RUU. After you have flashed the RUU, read this guide. Follow everything step by step without skipping.
Dont forget to:
- Tick "Install unknown sources"
- USB debugging on
I followed that guide above and rooted my HTC desire, S-OFFed it, flashed the ROM perfectly. I got no issues at all. And it was easy to accomplish.

No, you have to set your phone s-off first. Instructions are given on alpharevs page. You can also follow instructions in the linked video.
After your phone s-off, you can flash a different hboot.
But remember, it's very easy to brick your phone with flashing a hboot if you do not care/know what you are doing!!
Hey guys, I did it..
Thanks for help.
For everyone with same starting problems here a short description.
1. Make a goldcard with the GoldCardToll
2. Make a downgrad with the downgrad23 tools
3. Unroot with unrevoked3
4. S-OFF with the iso from AlphaRev
5. Install the hboot you want.
That's it..
Hi everybody,
I previously rooted and S-OFF my phone by downgrading from 1.72 to 1.34 and using gfree.
But my phone broke down and I just received my DZ from after-sales service, with stock ROM...
So I have few questions:
- I tried to root it with HTC super tool v3. I was not able to perma-root my DZ until I unlocked the stock bootloder using htcdev official method.
So I succeed in writing the system partition. But now i cannot flash a custom recovery (using ROM manager). S-off is only for bootloader/radio, so I should be able to do it with an unlocked bootloder, even if i'm still S-On, right ? What should be wrong?
- Now, if I want to S-off my phone, I must downgrade the radio to the one from 1.34 to use gfree, right ?
- What is the advantage of flashing an eng-hboot rather the official/unlocked one ?
Thanks,
Aurélien

Check out my guide for htcdev unlock here, it'll explain how to flash a recovery.
To S-OFF you will have to relock the bootloader to downgrade, then use gfree.
Eng hboot lets you use a whole bunch of fastboot commands, and can help you fix your phone from a SOFT brick.

Thanks for your reply Nipqer.
I will follow your guide.
But just to be sure I understand everything, I there a reason why I cannot flash the recovery after rooting the phone ? is there some kind of hardware lock enabled because of S-on ? in my case, is there any difference flashing from fastboot rather that ROm manager ?
And about the official unlocked hboot, Is there some kind of signature check when flashing that engineering one does not have?
Thanks again,
Aurélien
The emmc still has write protection if you use the htcdev method, so recoveries (and kernels) can only be flashed via fastboot.
So you cannot use Rom manager.
If the phone is S-ON it will perform a signature check, and only flash official HTC signed roms. S-OFF will let you flash any rom.

Thanks for the explanation !

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me with the following problem.
I have a HTC Desire from a friend of mine. He has a HBOOT 0.80 version. But the phone is S-ON
Now i want to S-OFF the phone and to install 4EXT custom recovery. The problem is that Alpharev needs a higher version of the HBOOT in order to do that.
What is the best way to upgrade the HBOOT from the desire to a newer 0.92.x. version?
The phone is rooted already and has a clockwork custom recovery installed.
Possible
You can use the official Gingerbread RUU. After the Update had done, you can S-Off with Revolutionary --> http://revolutionary.io/
But please move it to "Desire Q&A"

nooooooo that doesn't work with 0.80 either, think before you post, especially when you're wrong.

You'd be safer off to use a 2.2 RUU instead of the 2.3 one.
I have the same problem of "Possible", same same.
I tried to update the HBOOT via the official HTCdev page with file:
PB9920000_Bravo_Froyo_hboot_1.03.0003_R.exe
without success becouse the update utility give me the maessage:
Please upgrade to 2.29.405.14 to apply this RUU to be able to unlock your bootloader.
So I tried to install an original RUU with file:
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe (Android 2.2)
withou any success, an error displayed at the end of process.
I tried another RUU with file:
RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe (Android 2.3)
withou any success, an error displayed at the end of process.
Now I am stak!
I'd want update HBOOT from 0.80 to higher in order to run revolutionary procedure (to have S-OFF), in order to install 4EXT recovery but it seems impossible.
Any idea?
Thanks

What method are you using to flash the recovery? Fast boot is not enabled on that bootloader version. You must use the pc49img method.
Flash the Revolutionary HBOOT
Fastboot flash hboot hboot.img
Or you can use the dd if of method.

Hi, please try to follow the below steps:
1- Download the rooted GB rom from the below links:

2- Follow the guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221039
That should take you less than 5 mins to get s-off.
Hey,
If you want to root your DHD you need to follow these steps :
1. Update your HBOOT to 2.00.0029 using this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40744357
2. Then unlock your phone using HTCDev.
(From step 3 and after it's better that you follow the guide here under)
3. Flash CWM or 4ext recovery.
4. Flash SuperUser
5. Reboot and your done.
(This is not for S-OFF, S-OFF has became kinda hard because AAHK retired)
