i rooted the phone the other day
and used the following tools
clockworkmod
visionary
one click radio s-off
one click eng s-off
astro from market
no rom has been flashed as i always had the intension of selling this phone
i have now got a buyer for the phone and wondered what would happen if i did a factory reset?
to get on the android market and download astro and clockworkmod i had to sign in my gmail account which i cannot now remove unless i do a factory reset.
if i did a factory reset would the phone still be rooted and sim unlocked and would the owner have to go and get any of those tools again??
thanks
im a newbie so hence the questions
If you do the factory reset you will loose all your personal data an programms you installed. Radio S-Off and Eng S-Off will still remain on your DHD

thanks for the reply mate
what about the tools
visionary and clockwork mod? will these disappear and will the new owner have to get these again if they do disappear as he wants to flash a rom on it... or are these not needed anymore?
thanks much appreciated zio

They will be wiped off if they are not part of the rom on your phone. Eg: Leedroid rom.

ok mate cheers
will the user have to get those tools again then as he wanted to flash some rom on it
only asking so i can give the guy a heads up once he takes it off me.
thanks zio
Well the factory reset will not even unroot the device. You will still have access to clockwork mod, and if you have superuser app in /system it will still be there.
So the short answer is that the buyer will only need to put the rom on an sd card and flash it.
Someone swyped my idea.

Hello,
A few days ago, I asked a question on this forum about how to root my Wildfire S after the update to 2.14.401.1 but with S-off. Some gave me a link to another thread where it worked for him. (A link to a thread on xda forum). On androidforums.com, someone sayed to me I could still use Zergrush to root my phone, but is this true? Before my phone got bricked, I had unlocked bootloader with s-on and rooted with HTC Supertool V3 (and there with option zergrush). But will this also work if your phone is s-off and after that new update or should I use this, what the guy on my question here gave me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1616326 . I hope this was understandable. If not, just ask me what you don't know.
Thanks in advance!

This is at least the 3rd thread you've opened to ask this question. Just root the phone already!
Like I already said in the other forum, there is no rom-specific way of rooting your phone. Since you are s-off any method will work including the HTC Supertool . Skip the video tut because it's not very complete. If you're not sure of what you are doing, find a good guide that is complete that you can follow.
Rooting doesn't brick phones. Noobs messing up their ROMs after rooting does. Make sure you install CWM Recovery after rooting and do a backup before messing with your ROM or installing a custom ROM to avoid another trip to the phone shop.

Ok. And do I have to install CWM Recovery via the app or must I put the image on my SD-card and flash it like that? (I hope flashing via the app will work and is the same).

I prefer flashing it from fastboot. I know a couple folks that have softbricked the phone flashing from the app. I think flashing from bootloader/fastboot removes some variables.

So if I follow step 5 here: http://androidforums.com/wildfire-s-all-things-root/480954-guide-how-root-wildfire-s-s-finally.html , there will be no reason that I brick my phone and it will work?

I'm total noob as well, but i want to start installing other roms on my DHD. I've Searched this forum for several hours, and I found a lot of different ways to root, unlock, radio off and I dont know what more you can do...
The best option for a noob sounds the Easy Ace Root Tool, as suggested in this topic. But what I dont know is what to do after the tool is done...
If I understand well, this tool wil unlock the bootloader, provides root access and flash ClockworkMod Recovery, right?
Can someone give me some information about the next steps?

Yes, you understand correctly. Next you flash a rooted custom ROM from recovery. You get those from the development forum. After you install it from recovery, you will need to fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip using your computer.
is it enouhg to open the h-boot over the htc-dev page and after this to install maybe twrp for recovery,to flash roms on a desire hd,ofcource with flashing the boot.img with fastboot.Icant find another,actual way to root my DHD?!?

If you're rooted (and with ARHD you should be, unless you removed it) you can install the 4ext updater apk from the 4ext website (google for it). Then, install the recovery from the app.

Sorry if this has been posted already but i have searched literally hours before coming to this.
I'll start at the beggining.
I was on stock htc rom on 4.2.2 on my ONE X. i wanted to root so followed a tutorial and it went wrong, so i tried to boot the phone but it was stuck at the htc screen, so i did a nandroid restore
however the restore was for an older software version (ICS i think), now the phone boots up and i cannot use the touch in anyway. I have searched for RUU's but none work, i have tried nandroid restores but the give errors and i have also tried stock rom's but to nno avail.
I would honestly greatly appreciate help in any way shape or form. I am not a complete noob at this but a mere begginner compared to you guys here, (much love btw, helped me a hell of a lot through the years).
I can provide any information you want, just let me know how to access it as i dont have touch working. I have clockworkmod recovery etc, i dont think its rooted.
So yeah, please help me and im sorry if this is wrong section

Flash philz touch recovery , then get either a Rom or a newer nandroid, go in your recovery and mounts and storage and mount usb storage. That way you can copy a Rom on it and flash it.
Don't forget to flash boot.img!

Problem at the nandroid backup ? Or problem at recovery ?
Be clear about your issue
If it's touch on recovery update it to either philz touch or latest TWRP. They can easily be found in the original dev section.
When touch doesn't work when you restored a nand backup you need a newer one matching your official main version !

Than your official main is not 3.14. Do this command :

You should get a matching nand from somewhere. Without one i can't help (you should have made your own )
If there is no nand in the backup collection thread in the general section than i don't know. There is no other source available here on xda ...... maybe outside xda, a forum from your country ?

No mate , just flash a custom rom and use the phone. A stock rom is not different to your stock. It's only debranded (no carrier crap on-board). And there will be no major updates anymore, i don't even think there will be small ones either !

If you are not familiar with fastboot commands and recoverries, start reading here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/guide-root-install-twrp-htc-one-m9-t3061133
Once you have Twrp Recovery installed, you can restore a backup, of you previously made one.
If not you will have to search such a backup someone else made of your software version.

No, you can't. It's too big for the format of the internal storage. It can't handle the file.
And the rooting guide you linked earlier in this thread is outdated. Using the files from that guide will lead to a bootloop.

Thanks for the reply.
He doesn't want to root, just to restore the os.
So, if he uses the twrp backup in your thread on an SD card, he will have his os back (it's not one of the corrupt ones).

Even if the OP doesn't want to root there might be other users who read this thread and see the link. If they follow the guide they will end up with a bootloop. That's why I stated/warned that the guide is outdated.
Either he uses the backup or a RUU. There are more than enough RUUs he could use since his firmware is quite old.
None of the backups is corrupt. And all broken RUUs that I know of aren't linked in my thread.
