Have you tried to use fast boot to flash a recovery and then flash the superuser zip?

No I didn't try that, I'm kinda new to rooting and everything.
What recovery should I use, can you explain it a bit more?

when i rooted the first time my wildfire i have used this guide.i am not familiar with fastboot and flashing a recovery with fastboot but take a lokk at this guide.it might help you.for me it worked just perfect.and its easy.took me about 10 minutes to root and flash a custom rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
please read everything carefully before do anything.noone is responsible if something happens to your phone.
I'm no expert but I believe that your device is not rooted. It is S-offed which should mean that the write protection is deactivated which allows the device to be rooted, but it's not yet fully rooted.
I followed the guide linked by gregoris and it worked perfectly. You now need to know if you have Froyo or Éclair.
If your android version is 2.2.1 then you first need to downgrade it to 2.1 (Step 1 from the "Rooting your Device" section from the guide).
If you've already got Éclair, then you should be good by starting at step 1 to install the drivers and then follow step 3 onwards (from the "Rooting your device" section). But still in case, you better find a guide for éclair before trying anything.
(I'm not responsible for anything and again, I'm quite a newbie to this rooting thing).
Theres no need to downgrade anything, the downgrade is needed to make revolutionary run he's already done that.
At the end of revolutionary it asks if you want to install clockworkmod recovery, i presume you did but if not run revo again and choose yes to it, that will install cwm recovery 4.0.1.4 which isnt the latest but it'll do for now......
Download cm7 and place it on your sd card.
After that boot into recovery from hboot and first run a backup, then wipe data and cache, go to advanced option in the main menu and wipe dalvik cache, then go back to install from zip and find your cm7 zip, select it choose yes and let it flash.
Cm7 comes pre-rooted, infact all custom roms are pre rooted, to root a completely stock rom you need to flash the superuser binary.

yes, most probably, but it isn't just as easy as comparing the versions... (you have the newest one btw) - the problem most of the time seem to be some "dirty" things (left overs, things messed up, ...) because the radio resides on its own partition which can't be wiped/cleared/formatted.
Working solutions are a) flash a different radio or b) install a sense based custom ROM (both reported with and without success - so it's a bit trial & error). Did your GPS and WiFi work?

i don't think that the radio is your problem.try to flash the RemPuzzle.i flashed it some days ago and for me it's the most stable rom that i tried.
plus you have the sense (if you miss the sense with other custom roms.) try flashing rempuzzle.i believe you are gonna like it.

Well, radio problems with AOSP ROMs are a common issue after rooting/s-off'in. Most of the time all goes well, sometimes GPS doesn't work and sometimes it might go even worser. But it's not a major problem as it could be solved -see above- most of the time

like I said: well known with AOSP ROMs - sense ROMs seem not to have the issue that often. If I'm not mistaken flashing a sense ROM even works as a solution if you aren't S-OFF.

sometimes yes - the problem is that you can't flash a radio when s-on so this is your only chance to solve any radio/baseband issues...
Any fixes for baseband?
When I install the RemPuzzle rom, it's the same process with revolutionary, because the one explained in the video looks different.

Hey There,
I just downgraded using RUU to root it, the Hboot is changed and the phone boots also, but touch panel is not working
and now i m using official 2.2 Froyo from shipped roms and its giving me error on bootloader ... saying USB has problem check the usb connection
can anyone tell me how to fix the problem now
1) Get ROM : RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.37.405.1_Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.3 5.19.25_release_151892_signed.exe
1a) Go to windows temp (cd %temp%) and clear it (delete everything).
2) Run this update (ONLY RUN, DO NOT CONTINUE), go to windows temp and search for rom.zip, copy it into safe place, and exit rom installation.
3) Clean windows temp again and run ROM upgrade which break your screen (ONLY RUN!, DO NOT CONTINUE YET), Go to windows temp and find rom.zip, replace it with the rom.zip you copied in previous steps and continue ROM installation.
After that, your screen will back to normal.
Fix (c) by Grooby if you want to copy it somewhere, please add this credits!

Depends on your HBoot, not your OS. If it is 0.80x, Yes, if 1.01x, No.
its Hboot 0.80.0007
In that case, you most definitely can root and put Custom ROM's. Refer this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824396
^^ I m thinking to install Cynogenmod 7 , its cool i think
Yes, it most certainly is. I am using it as well, and, its far ahead in terms of general speed and configurability over the Stock ROM. Give it a try, and if it doesn't work out, you can always go back to the Stock / Other Sense based ROMs.

guess u must be having the Radio_13.53.55.24H_3.35.19.25 and hboot 0.80.0007 before downgrading right. let me know.
the problem solved ok.
But while downgrading with RUU what actually causes the touch panel fail issue.
Is it just the downgraded radio or just the downgraded hboot.

No actually when i booted in hboot mode, it already was S-OFF so thts why
I’ve recently rooted my desire (gsm) using unrevoked (Linux) and i thought it would also give me S-OFF but apparently I where wrong. I've already searched around looking for a way to get S-OFF and in all the TUT’s, Guides etc. it says that you should have an unrooted stock HTC 2.2 ROM or at least an official HTC ROM and that’s the problem…
I’m using Cyanogen Mod 7.1 and I had a backup of my stock 2.2 Sense ROM but I lost it.. or. well... i deleted it accidentally.
Now the question is; Can I still get S-OFF and how? Do I flash a HTC ROM and then do it, should I use AlphaRev, Revolutionary or do it manually (if that works on Ubuntu)
All help appreciated
It should work fine with CM7 aslong as you didnt flashed any a2sd/d2ext scripts.
If i remember correctly, i was doing my first S-OFF with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768703&highlight=leedroid

edit: a2sd/d2ext scripts it that when you have partitioned the sdcard? cause ive done that but thats easy to fix
No point in using alpharev it's just longer. Use revolutionary.

You can't flash your Radio without having ENG S-OFF. Though I believe you can with the PD98IMG method I don't think it is recommended and is only used to downgrade.

Radios are generally only included in RUU Roms because they are flashed using the PD98IMG method. To my knowledge, I believe that's the only way you can flash a Rom and at the same time having it also flash the Radio. If you flash your Rom via CWM for example, it will not touch the Radio and thus you must use Fastboot to flash the Radio, and to use Fastboot you must have ENG S-OFF.
Note: This application is no longer being updated and is only recommended for use on Froyo builds.

ENG S-OFF shouldn't have any negative effects on your device as far as I know.
Hey guys, I loaded up the Visionary app, and
"tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot."
But now my device (HTC DHD) just keep rebooting over and over. When it starts up each time, Visionary will start up and say "attempting to root", and then the device reboots. How do I get out of this cycle?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Ace:_Rooting_&_CyanogenMod
Try with this, I done it without any problems, just use Charging mode and USB Debugging on
Turns out the big screwup is the instruction to "tap temproot". I tapped the selection to "Temproot on Boot", which is wrong. They mean to tap "Temproot now".
So I have the radio updated now. I guess I'll just wait and see how ARHD operates!
Well as you can see I updated my wildfire S 2 or 3 days ago with OTA, so now when ever I try to flash the RUU from htcdev.com it fails be because "I Have a newer ROM version [ERROR 191]"
so I extracted the Zip file from the RUU and flashed from SDcard and it worked !
WARNING THIS IS ONLY FOR EU UNLOCKED FOLLOW THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWEN RESPONSIBILITY
1- Moderator Edit link removed Multiupload is not supported as a file host site on XDA
2-Copy it to your Sdcard
3-Shutdown the phone
4-Start into Bootloader (Volume down + power)
5-Wait for it to Load the Zip file
6-chose yes (volume up)
And your done
now reboot and Delete the Zip file from Sdcard
I have an EU WFS, but getting the 171 error, will this help?

1. Do you mean that you upgraded to 2.3.5 a couple days ago and that's why it won't flash the RUU? I was assuming I got ERROR 191 because I hadn't upgraded to 2.3.5 yet.
2. Were you getting the exact same message with the error code?
ERROR [191] ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED
Your ROM Version is not currently supported, but there will be an update soon that will be supported. You will receive a notification to update your phone to the latest ROM code.
After you have updated, please run the RUU again to upgrade your HBOOT to unlock your phone. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Incidentally, the part number for my phone is the same as the generic EU phone: PG76100 so your method of installing the ROM should work the same.
Update:
I got through the HBOOT update using the tip posted in this thread. It worked like a charm, so apparently my 2.3.3 Asia ROM wasn't the problem.
So I want to say thanks for the trick also! Tomorrow I'll finish the unlock process tomorrow as it's already after 10:30 PM here.
So unlocked in this case means that only will work with a phone which is S-OFF?

No. It's for S-ON and does not provide S-OFF. Just unlocks HBOOT so you can flash custom recovery, root and flash new rom.

If you look carefully, when choosing WFS, it has a * on the side saying that you have to update your HBOOT.
Anyway...it is not working for me. I put the file on my memory card and boot into the bootloader. it seems to load but I just don't get an option to update.
Thanks a lot! It says HBOOT 1.08.0099 with a LOCKED (OOW) above it.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: LOVE YA MATE! IT WORKED! I NOW HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! DDDD
tried this on mine and it says "Can not rollback HBOOT" then it bypasses the hboot update. It updates the radio just fine though.

Well as you can see I updated my wildfire S 2 or 3 days ago with OTA, so now when ever I try to flash the RUU from htcdev.com it fails be because "I Have a newer ROM version [ERROR 191]"
so I extracted the Zip file from the RUU and flashed from SDcard and it worked !
WARNING THIS IS ONLY FOR EU UNLOCKED FOLLOW THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWEN RESPONSIBILITY
1- Download this
2-Copy it to your Sdcard
3-Shutdown the phone
4-Start into Bootloader (Volume down + power)
5-Wait for it to Load the Zip file
6-chose yes (volume up)
And your done
now reboot and Delete the Zip file from Sdcard

I already clicked thanks but I want to SAY thanks anyway.
I had my phone with the latest European RUU 2.3.5 but as stated on the HTCDEV.com site I needed the HBOOT update.
I tried to update with the RUU download from HTCDEV.com but I had a crazy error, not like any seen around here.
It wasn't 171 or 191, it just seemed trash.
I'm almost certain that the RUU's that HTC makes aren't prepared for Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 users.
Back then when I updated to 2.3.5 (by football) I had to unzip the RUU and replace some ADB files with newer ones.
With the file extracted and updated it worked. I even posted an updated version here on XDA for people that were having problems like me.
So now that my bootloader is unlocked I will proceed with the next steps.
Still have a long way to go.
Thanks again for your file. It worked like a charm.
thanks now get the missus phone unlocked thanks

No. It's for S-ON and does not provide S-OFF. Just unlocks HBOOT so you can flash custom recovery, root and flash new rom.
But first to install custom recovery and rom i have to s-off my device with the htc dev procedure right? hboot it s not enought

It doesn't S-OFF, it allows u to root, cwm and flash custom roms. It's like a half s-off, because it doesnt allow flashing radio i think.

It s strange,I don t belive it s possible to flash custom recovery and roms without a s-off.Flashing the h-boot it s only a way to have the unlock code in htcdev program,so then we can have s-off and load some stuff
Correct me if I m wrong

It just unlocks the bootloader to give u root access to flash roms. I still have s-on after unlocking the bootloader.

I've got HBOOT 1.08.0099 with a LOCKED (OOW) above, still S-ON, but can't for the life of me seem to find a way to root or load a custom recovery successfully. I've tried numerous ways and I'm afraid if I keep screwing with it something is going to end up bricking the device.
How is everyone rooting and loading CWM?
Thanks a lot.

If you have the locked thing, go to htcdev.com, after the page where u select your ruu, tgeres a button below to proceed. So, just follow the instructions from then on.

Ok so I followed 2 videos I cannor post since I am still new to root my phone. Weirdly enough it worked the first time (knowing how unlucky I am with these stuff).
So after this I learned that I have to unlock the bootloader. SO being the noob I am I went to actually check it out. What it was, not the process. I then found a rom I liked and the way to unlock the bootloader. So my questions:
1) Is there a possibility my bootloader is already unlocked?
2) In some posts I saw that the manufacturing date might make your phone hard brick. I think it was in some experia models. Does HTC Desire HD has any problem with that? Mine is : HT138RX... do I need to write the whole thing?
3) When you unlock the bootloader will the original rom work or it's just a step before you put the custom ROM?
4) once it is unlocked assuming I wanna change ROM do I have to unlock it again?
I already did my full back up so... Thanks in advance. I did a full search in the forum but couldn't find answers to these :/
The original post had also the links but since Its my first post I cant post em...

You are S-Off. Do you have a recovery installed? To find out, navigate to "recovery" in the bootloader with the volume buttons, then select it with the power button. What does it show?

Bootloader unlock and root are separate, and you can't root without unlock or S-Off. I don't know what you did, and I don't know what state your phone was in when you got it. If you tell me that I will know how to answer your question better. All I know right now is that your phone is S-Off, meaning that you can flash anything on it.

Honestly I don't know what I did. I just followed the instructions on this youtube video I found but cant post it because I am new here... I ll probably do so later. What do you mean what the state of my phone was? BEfore it was original. First time I rooted it. I used ace hack and ultimate warp drive. I didnt have to downgrade also because it was 2.3.5 android version.

OK, I think I understand your confusion. You need EITHER bootloader unlock OR S-Off to flash a recovery and flash root. You have S-Off from AAHK (which is now unsupported), so you don't need to (and can't) unlock your bootloader.
Now, to have root, either flash a rooted custom ROM from recovery or flash a superuser zip on your current stock ROM.

I have superuser in my stock ROM and Root since I installed like 3 different root checker apps to check it and all said its rooted. So I am thinking of flashing Jellytime now since I did my backup. Will I be able to? Or do I need anything else? I already have the guide about the Jellytime and gapps.

Hmm just did a stock rom back up through clockwork mod recovery and now I am thinking of flashing jellytime. Do I need to install a kernel or just the rom / boot.img / gapps is ok? also is there a difference if i do it with clockworkmod or as others do it with 4ext?

Since you are S-Off you don't need the boot.img, just flash ROM and gapps from recovery. JellyTime is AOSP, not Sense, so you do need to flash gapps. If you ever flash a Sense ROM, you don't need gapps.
