HELP, I've been trying to root my HTC Wildfire (Buzz) for days, with different methods, but no luck. :crying:
I had install the HTC Driver Installer(v3.0.0.007), uninstall HTC sync, already factory reset, and had even tried reformat to FAT32. But I'm still having problem downgrading to HBOOT 1.01.0001.

You're first step should be downgrading Hboot from 1.01.002 to 1.01.001 because Revolutionary doesnot supports hboot 1.01.002
Which u currently have.

Thanks for reply. I had previous gone through the same method as those link you provide, but I'm still stuck at downgrading to HBOOT 1.01.001. Any idea what I'm missing?
Try this guide for setting up adb, if you follow it correctly adb should run from any command prompt regardless of whether the files are in the right folder.

I remember i also had the same problem when i ran step1.bat
Believe me it was the toughest part really in rooting my phone.
I dont remember exactly but i think the problem was solved when i installed htc sync again 2nd time and then unistalled, leaving the drivers.

right, could you just let us know the following:
What firmware version you're running?
what Operating System you're running on pc?
do you have administrator rights on the pc your using?
adb.exe
When I did not run as administrator, after the cmd finish it's work, it will show a pop-up menu saying that I have to run this "step1.bat" with administration.
When I do run it as administration, it show a list of "'adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batched file." at the cmd window.

I think I'm at the edge, almost, of giving up on rooting this HTC Wildfire.
Luckily for me, parents receive an iPod as a bonus from a direct selling (Melaleuca), and past it on to me, so at least now I still can play games.
Without being able to use apk is a minus, but since I'm not capable to root this phone, so have to make do without apk.
Anyone, thank you for all the help until now, and perhaps more to come.

Hi, all
i am new with android OS.
i have an htc desire Z which was semi-bricked, it keeps on htc logo. then i search this forum for unbrick the device, and i found this rom, PC10IMG_Vision_TMOUS_1.19.531.1_Radio_12.21.60.09b_26.02.01.15_M2_release_149459_signed.zip
i tried to update the file, and the device is ok after the update proses.
but, after i tried to open an application (i.e message), i can't go back to home. when i touch the home icon on the screen, the vibrate is on, but the screen is still.
is there something missing in the update proses?
sorry if i'm doing double post with this thread.
thank you all.
Well the problem is that you flashed a stock G2 ROM on the DZ... I think

Here's what you're going to need to do. You need to download Terminal Emulator from the Android Market (the one by Palevich I think) and follow these steps:
Download the G2TempRoot.rar file I have attached. It also includes a DesireZ bootloader.
Extract the files to your desktop.
Now, you're going to ROOT your poor device. Follow these steps.
1. Make sure you have your USB debugging enabled and plug-er-in.
2. Open a command shell. Type in "cd Desktop\G2TempRoot" without the quotes of course...
3. Type in the following commands followed by enter after each one.
Code:
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push Superuser.apk /sdcard/Superuser.apk
adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/busybox
adb push root /data/local/tmp/root
adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/*
adb push wpthis\wpthis-pre-OTA.ko /sdcard/wpthis-pre-OTA.ko
adb push wpthis\wpthis-OTA.ko /sdcard/wpthis-OTA.ko
adb push desirezboot\hboot-dzship.img /sdcard/hboot-dzship.img
--- All commands from here out are typed into the phone using Terminal Emulator, not ADB ---
4. Open up the Terminal Emulator you just installed on your phone and type the following:
Code:
/data/local/tmp/rage
Let it finish. After you see "Forked #### childs" press the Menu button on your keyboard and then tap "Reset terminal" on the screen.
5. Open the Terminal Emulator again. This time it will force close. Close it. Now, open the Terminal Emulator again, this time you should have a root shell.
6. If you did not apply the OTA update, type this into your terminal screen:
Code:
insmod /sdcard/wpthis-pre-OTA.ko
and press enter. It should say something about "function not implemented". This is normal. If it says anything else, you probably applied the OTA, and you need to reboot and start this process from step 4, replacing wpthis-pre-OTA.ko in step 6 with wpthis-OTA.ko.
7. Now, you're going to type the following commands into your shell. Make sure you double check EACH and EVERY command before you hit enter. Screwing up the first one, specifically has a nasty habit of producing bricks.
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/hboot-dzship.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
/data/local/tmp/root
sync
8. Now you should be able to reboot your phone into fastboot (trackpad button+power) and reflash using a HTC DesireZ RUU. Sorry, I have none of these in my files. Look in the wiki here, I think there are a few posted up.
9. If the RUU can't detect your phone, don't close the utility, YET. Search for rom.zip on your computer, and it'll be the one located in your temp folder. It should be ~ 260MB. Copy it to a place on your desktop, rename it PC10IMG.zip, and copy it to the root of your SD card using either an adapter and a SD reader, or a working phone that has SD storage. Then it's just a matter of booting into the bootloader with the Vol down + Power combination. It should go through the checks, and ask you to update if all worked correctly.
-- My guess is you didn't apply SuperCID to your phone before flashing G2 ROM? --
Wow, thanks for the reply. Quite confused though.
Yes, maybe i didn't apply SuperCID before flashing.
How can i make sure that USB debugging has been enabled?
Wow, well I guess this confirms it's fine to flash a stock G2 ROM to a Desire Z !
Those buttons won't be working because of the key mapping. The G2 and DZ have different hardware keyboard, so different keyboard mappings. Those capacitive buttons on the phone are effectively linked to the hardware keyboard, so just need mapping differently. It's possible to change the mapping, but probably makes more sense (no pun intended lol) just to flash a DZ ROM.
You can find the original 1.34 European RUU at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822908
There is also a newe 1.72 version, but be careful, because right now the current rooting methods don't work on that one.
To enable USB debugging you need to go into Menu->Settings->Applications->Development
Actually, the bootloader may have detected an incorrect digitizer controller. There is a difference in both the version of the bootloader and the order in which the firmwares partitions are flashed. You may want to reflash the G2 firmware again without switching out the bootloader to see if this fixes your issue. If not, the problem may actually lie in the partition 7 which was modified to unlock your phone. Try a reflash of the G2 PC10IMG.zip without switching your bootloader back if you have your heart set on stock Android. Watch the screen while it is flashing to make sure everything flashes ok. One of the TP entries should get skipped. TP stands for touch panel in this case. An incorrect driver could well explain why your icons aren't working.
For anyone interested, I flashed my G2 to DZ and back with great success, but to load the DZ rom I had to switch bootloaders and flashing it back to G2 flashed twice due to the difference in partition order to make sure everything went through OK. You may also have a corrupt .zip file. Open up your PC10IMG.zip file up in an archiver and run a test to make sure nothing fails. If the zip is corrupt its gonna load a bad digitizer driver everytime and possibly screw up the ROM.
Okay, i'll try again.
@steviewevie, Thanks for sharing.
If i use RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE....exe with a DZ that has a G2 rom inside, there will be no problem with the device?
@deliberate187, I guess there is nothing wrong with the zip file i have, coz i got it from this forum, and when i extract it with winrar, it extracts all files completely withouit fails.

Interesting info. So those TP things in the ROM are something to do with the touch panel ?
I could be wrong, but the TP files are Atmel firmwares. If I'm not mistaken Atmel is the manufacturer of the controller chips used in the touch panels on Android phones.

Sirs,
I believe I did the same, that is flashing a G2 ROM to a Desire Z phone.
Now I followed the instructions till I reached 8 and 9, I downloaded: RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe, tried it, it gave me this error on the PC:
"Error [156]: image error
The rom update utility cannot update your android phone.
Please get the correct rom update utility and try again."
Searched for rom.zip, changed its name to PC10IMG.zip, took the sd card out, copied the file, rebooted the phone, the bootloader didn't recognize the ROM.
This what flashed so fast on the screen:
"SD Checking ...
Loading ... [PC10DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading ... [PC10DIAG.ngh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading ... [PC10IMG.zip]

I don't know what else I made wrong in addition to flashing the wrong ROM.
I use a mac, and all the info I have found about downgrading only relates to connecting to a pc.
I cant seem to find any info about downgrading using mac os. can this be done? if so, could you point me in the right direction to where i can find info on how to do this. thanks.
The actual commands used are universal whether on windows, linux or mac. Also the packages used are run on the phone itself therefore as long as you know how to use terminal and have the android sdk on your mac you should be good to go. I can try to help you along the way however its been a while since I rooted my phone.
P.S. Please can you provide a full list of your phones current firmware etc..

Ok, first things first, you need to download the android sdk from here, following this, download GingerBreak DHD. Now you have the sdk and GingerBreak downloaded you should extract the sdk .zip and place the whole folder in your home directory.
Let me know when you have done this.

Hi,
For some reason I seem unable to unlock my WFS
What I did since I got it:
-Updated OTA to 2.3.5, works perfectly
-Installed HTC Sync
-Go to htcdev.com, register and follow the RUU instructions, as far as I know I have an HTC EU, so i'd download the file. and EVERY TIME I get ERROR: 190 (which means my ROM ain't up-to-date) so I checked, The ROM version on the phone was the version the update tool wanted to update to, only diffrence was HBOOT (current version: 1.08.0000 needed version: 1.08.0009) so I've tried every solution here on XDA (at least I think so) but it stil doesn't work.
This is what my WFS says when I boot into the BL:

Hey, thanks for the guide on fixing error 190. I've been struggling with it for 2 hours atm. I have the same problem - updated to 2.3.5 though mobile, but the RUU says I don't have a 2.13.401.2 version (which I do).
Anyway, I followed your instructions and when I executed zergRush with "./data/local/tmp/zergRush", the symbol didn't change to #. Actually, after launching zergRush it said:
[+] Rush did it! It's GG, man!
[+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!
Can you tell me what to do next? I'm unable to continue with getting misc.img.
just write adb shell, and continue on
Okay, that helped me, but now I'm stuck at pulling the img file.
After I wrote: "pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img"
the cmd replied with:
"pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
pull: not found"
What now? What did I do wrong?
start new CMD and write adb pull /sdcard/misc.img misc.img
i would test it by myself but zergrush dont affect my phone coz i'm rooted
Okay, it works. Anyway, I'd like to ask why to edit the version to 2.13.401.22, not just 2.13.401.2.
2.13.401.2 edit to it i will check screen shots, thanks, something bugged with MS paint.
The 3rd Screen shows Good 2nd shows the WHEN is in edit mode, change it to 2.13.401.2
Crusheer, please let us know if after trying this method you were able to overcome the 190 error.

I have tried all the methods posted here on this site and others but am aunable to root my Lenovo p770.
I can confirm that:
1. I have preloader and USB drivers installed and the device shows up in the device manager.
2. Using SP Flash Tools, I can "read back" partitions on the device and have made backups of the boot, recovery and android.img of the stock ROM.
3. I have tried flashing recovery.img from various sources that were confirmed successful and have also geenrated my own TDRP using Varun Chitre's script but am unable to flash any of them to the device.
4. I am running all programs as administrator.
I suspect that something is preventing me from writing to the device whereas read is fine (as "read back" works). I have used multiple USB cables and running the process on 2 computers and on Win7 and WinXP ... just to be sure that there is no hardware or operating system issue. Also, while using the Bin4ry method, I get the error "permission denied (are you root)", which has been mentioned elsewhere but not resolved properly.
Is it something to do with the sec_ro partition which is preventing flashing of the device?

I have tried all the methods posted here on this site and others but am aunable to root my Lenovo p770.
I can confirm that:
1. I have preloader and USB drivers installed and the device shows up in the device manager.
2. Using SP Flash Tools, I can "read back" partitions on the device and have made backups of the boot, recovery and android.img of the stock ROM.
3. I have tried flashing recovery.img from various sources that were confirmed successful and have also geenrated my own TDRP using Varun Chitre's script but am unable to flash any of them to the device.
4. I am running all programs as administrator.
I suspect that something is preventing me from writing to the device whereas read is fine (as "read back" works). I have used multiple USB cables and running the process on 2 computers and on Win7 and WinXP ... just to be sure that there is no hardware or operating system issue. Also, while using the Bin4ry method, I get the error "permission denied (are you root)", which has been mentioned elsewhere but not resolved properly.
Is it something to do with the sec_ro partition which is preventing flashing of the device?

Hi everyone.
Im having trouble rooting my phone.. I tried all the tutorials but nothing works. something always has to mess up in the middle of the operation..
aahk says that "ace" is not supported this time..
All of these auto root apps like visionary+ etc. are freezing and not working..
I tried to unlock my bootloader and followed the instructions at HTCDEV but in the end it shows an empty code..
those are some of the errors I get with other tools I try to use..:
Code:
"file "sc" is missing or corrupt
Your PC window ENV is damaged and should be repaired.
At least one default system file is missing, corrupt
or the windows pc env has been otherwise compromises.
The hack kit quits before damage is done to your phone.
Retry with a diferent PC or try a 32 bits Ubuntu Linux LiveCD."
Code:
windows cannot find "PD9810000_ACE_GINGERBREAD_S_HBOOT_0.85.0024.EXE" MAKE SURE YOU TYPED THE NAME CORRECTLY AND TRY AGAIN.

You might want to try to uninstall all mobile drivers then start over with a fresh install of the Htc Drivers. Also have you tried using the Easy Ace Root Tool?

Try finding a RUU here and update your device to GB 2.3.5 and then try using the Easy Ace Root Tool, everything should run smoothly from there. Im not sure if it will be the same for you but for me this one works perfectly. Im in North America with At&T as my service provider.

Your bootloader does not allow unlocking. Use a goldcard to flash a ruu that supports hboot update or try updating the hboot first.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda app-developers app
you need to update your hboot first before you can unlock your bootloader.. either via ruu or create a goldcard and flash the hboot update, once your bootloader is unlock you can now use easy ace rooting tool, which you already have... hope it helps :fingers-crossed:
