Connect the HTC Wildfire & run the unrevoked software.

If u have made a nandroid backup u can do a nandroid restore to return back to stock.
And if u havent done, then u can flash rooted official roms (=safe zip files. NOT RUUs).
U can find them here under section 5:

Reboot to custom recovery and explore it. U will see the option to nandroid backup.
Edit: Nandroid backup done from a stock rom only returns to stock rom. I hope u know that.
Nandroid backup done from a particular rom can restore to that particular rom only.

Like i said If u have made nandroid backup when u r on stock rom, then that nandroid restore will get back u to that stock rom. And yes along with all the apps previously installed. U can also back up those 3rd party apps only.
And remember before nandroid restore, factory reset / wipe data / wipe cache needed. All can be done from the recovery itself.

My wildfire's HBOOT is 1.01.002. Can i use alpharevx with this hboot?

Yes, you can.
Just fill in the Hboot version in the AlpharevX screen.

Thank you very much
If you run into problems (There are some version of 1.01.0002 that doesn't work), you will have to downgrade to 1.01.0001. Guide here:

I was astounded that it (AlphaRevX) worked. I was literally only two days away from paying out a big sum of cash for the use of an XTC Clip from some guy in the city centre. I was so happy, and with the help of the lovely people here on XDA Developers and the AlphaRev IRC I was able to make it happen.
Apparently I was one of the first thirty people in the public beta. I was very happy indeed. Personally, I recommend AlphaRevX for all users. It's very fast indeed, and powerful, and I'm loving the freedom.
Im currently having problems installing the official ruu, it requires for me to download and install htc sync which i have, my mate did a factory reset on the custom rom which messed it up!, Im having difficulty installing custom roms, I only managed to install miui that works, but htc sync isnt picking it up, the rest dont boot up just stay at htc screen, is there any way to install it via bootloader? or anyone provide a official rom that will install?, Its got cm7/r2 hboot, I just need to make it official please, any help will do, thanks

try my guide. Since you're on cm7r2 hboot remember to flash bravo stock before you use the RUU
Essentially, all you can do is fastboot flash hboot downgrade.img then RUU again.

changed the title of my thread.. so now maybe it's a little more obvious as to what it contains and maybe people will actually bother to look..
The problem is partly possibly that the stickies in the app are in a different tab

Hi there,
I've managed to unlock the bootloader and root my HTC Wildfire S.
Then I flashed CWM Recovery (tried several versions) with fastboot and also with ROM Manager.
The installation of CWM Recovery is successfull, however when I go into the bootmenu and select Recovery, the screen stays black and the icons at the buttom of the phone are lit up.
So the problem is I can't get into Recovery to make a backup and to flash a different ROM.
Some information about my phone:
HTC Wildfire S A510e
Android 2.3.5
ROM version: 2.13.401.3
From the bootmenu:
*** UNLOCKED ***
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT: 1.09.0099
MICROP-0451
RADIO: 7.54.39.28M
I know others have this same issue, but I haven't read any solution yet. I hope someone knows the solution or a workaround to make a backup of the stock ROM and flash a custom ROM.
Thanx in advance!
I have same problem looking for solution to backup nand just in case.
Try reflashing recovery or install one like alquez's unofficial.

Thanks for the ideas, but I've already tried that several times.
All custom recoveries don't seem to work. I'm afraid that this is a problem that some versions of the wildfire s have..
Any other ideas are welcome!

Just want to say that I have exatly the same problem mentioned above. Same ROM, riadio and hboot as well. I tried lot of methods to flush custom recovery but nothing helped. Also tried both 5.0.2.6 and 5.0.2.8 CWM
Same problem: Downgrade HBOOT?
Hey,
Have the same problem aswell.. I tried alot see topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1635718
The one thing i didn't try is to downgrade my hboot. I didn't want to do this because it will aswell downgrade android from 2.3.5 to 2.3.3...
And this is exactly the thing which i wanted to avoid before being able to backup stock rom....
Maby you could try it. There is also away to download stock rom and instal it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467844
The thing there is only that i don't know if its posible to install a rom without being able to get into the recovery.
Good luck.
Question?
Hello! I have the same problem and I too am trying to find a solution.
How are your successes?
Sorry for my english.
Hi lapochkin, still no luck..

There are ideas why this is happening?
The standard recovery is working well, then the whole thing in "recovery.img".
But what's wrong with it???
If you ROM rooted and opening rom, rom manager and press "Flash. Clockwordmod Recovery "

did you flash a marvel or a marvelc/ct (don't know exact name) cwm recovery rom by accident?
Yes, all known Recovery, CWM, RZV... runs only only standard recovery(((

Hi all!
I mean not to complain about something that does not work "Recovery", ask why this is happening and can it be such as to decide whether to help solve this problem if create one "S-OFF"...
Who ever tried to put the old "CWM Recovery", for example 3.0.x.xx?
Put an old version of "CWM Recovery", please ...

Hi guys.
Hoping you can help me.
I rooted my DHD some time ago, with help from this forum, and was running the RCmix3D rom.
Well I have upgraded to an HTC One X, and a friend would like to buy my DHD, so. I thought I’d factory reset the phone.
Before I did that though I did a nandroid backup through CWM recovery.
After the nandroid backup, I rebooted into the ROM, factory reset the phone, however it then just booted through the White HTC screen into a black screen with the word ‘android’ in the middle.
Now, I didn’t panic, and I left the black screen for a while, but it didn’t change for ages.
So I pulled the battery, went back into CWM Recovery, and tried to restore, however, the restore didn’t take!
So I thought I’d just download another ROM, and flash that, but THAT hasn’t worked!!!
So I’m stuck without a backup and without a ROM,
I got the DHD on day of release so I guess it had Froyo on it!
Can I just download an RUU for this device and run that or are there additional steps that I would need to perform before that?
Thank you in advance.
Greg.

Greg, Factory reset only works when you are stock. As you were running a custom rom, you have just deleted the rom from your phone. You will need to flash a RUU to revert it to stock.
I don't actually know why you couldm´t flash a custom rom, but it should work as long as you are S-OFF.

The reason is that I'm not sure the new user would be ok with teh extra finctionality, and I'd worry they much it up (Much like I have done)
I still con't quite understand why it wouldnt flash a new ROM though
Ok.
When flashing an RUU, can I do that from the boot loader?

Yes, you have two choices, or do it in the PD98IMG.zip way or flash it in fastboot. If you are S-OFF, you can flash any RUU, but I suggest and unbranded one. Don't flash a Froyo RUU or you will be in troubles.
On how to flash a RUU from fastboot, check the guide in my signature....:good:
Ok dude. I hear you.
Could you give a brief explanation on why the Froyo RUU would be bad?

If you are using a Gingerbread hboot and flash a froyo RUU then your hboot will work in super slow motion and might take half an hour to boot. And belive me fixing that is not easy nor fun...
Were you able to flash a ruu??

Not tried yet, munching dinner and watching some Sons of Anarchy at the moment.
Will let you know ow how it goes though.

Hey dude.
Another few questions,
1) How do I know if I am using a GB hboot? Would a new hboot have been written when the GB OTA update came?
2) How can I tell whuch RUU is a GB RUU without the name being in the title of the RUU?
I.e. RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed.zip
Thank you again.
Greg.
Oh, and I think I have found out why I can't flash a different ROM like ARHD, I'm using CWM recovery, the instructions for ARHD state that you are only to use EXT4 recovery.
Bum!

I really don't understand in all of that, but I just went through a very long process of rooting my phone etc.
and one of the million things I stumbled upon was this time I flashed a rom using CWM and the rom was corrupted..
I was thankful that CWM had the option to connect the phone via usb storage, [hard drive thing, so you could transfer files from comp to dhd]
So I just downloaded the rom again and placed it on the phone and flashed it using CWM.
I guess it might help you since you have CWM [and if you have CWM I guess you're rooted?] so you might try flashing a non-stock rom.
But I'm not deep into this stuff and don't really know, so you can try but I'm not sure it'll work.

Hi guys, new to XDA-DEVELOPERS, really sorry but just like a real NOOOB! i tried to S-OFF on my htc desire with AlphaRev live cd.
Everything went well until step 3, live cd says "WAITING FOR FLASH TO COMPLETE" for nearly 2 hours.
So out of frustration i pulled the usb lead, oooOOPPPS!
Now it boots up into bootloader only and nothing more, every time i power up into the android bootloader again and again!!!
I have tried a factory reset with the bootloader which works fine but when it powers up again it goes back into the bootloader
I have since tried REVOLUTIONARY.EXE , when i connect the device to the computer the program does not recognize the device so that i can get the serial number for the beta key
I would really like someone to help out here, the phone was excellent when it was working it had the ANDROID 2.3.3 INSTALLED with GINGER VILLAIN.
All this stupidity cos i wanted the S-OFF on the device, ( sorry guys, just furious at myself)
In future i will always remember the old motto "IF ITS NOT BROKEN, DON'T TRY AND FIX IT!)
So please, all possible solutions and comments welcome even if it's slagging me off.

Good luck.

Thanks you, as I have said firstly, i am new to all this, secondly the htc desire device is in loop mode and starts up into bootloader splash screen, the phone doesn't boot up.
Please correct me, i think my selection would be guide 2 "S-ON" can't boot recovery/phone won't boot up- and to follow these instructions, but
you have said that i need to make a GOLDCARD but if the phone doesn't boot up then how would i make a goldcard?
I have downloaded the RUU, and because i am newbie with all this, anyway you can explain the full procedure in detail?
Really sorry to be noob!
Thanks
Put sdcard into another phone or use the 2.3 gb upgrade from HTCDev because u wont need a goldcard for that. U can get the 2.3gb upgrade in bortaks guide also, go down to resources.
To run the ruu, simply plug in ur phone to computer while in bootloader and run the ruu (double click it) make sure u have the drivers installed on ur computer for ur phone. All available in bortaks guide like stankyou said answer is there.

As i don't have access to another htc desire phone, i have opted for the 2.3 upgrade from HTCDev and is now downloading, and i will follow the instructions supplied with the download and let you know how i get on.
Just to confirm, open zip/rar file connect phone to computer and run upgrade file following instructions and hopefully the device should start up as normal!!?

By the way are there any better RUU's that can give me more internal storage, as it is with android 2.3.3 i'v only got 156mb left on my htc Desire Bravo, but are easy to install, or should i just leave alone?
Thank again
Nope. Thats the problem with htc desire, low space. If u were to go s-off (security off) then u would be able to change hboots which will give u more space and u can flash custom roms. Check the Desire all things root guide in my sig. Loads of info there plus if u decide to go s-off then u can use "revolutionary". There a guide on how to use it in that Desire all things root guide.
So the first thing really is basically read guides so u have an idea of what ur doing. S-off & root using revolutionary is very easy and straight forward. Read the guide

Followed the instructions and selected the custom image file (amon-ra), Unrevoked goes through the paces and stops with a message "waiting for root" (safe to start if this doesn't happen) then the phone just restarts as normal.
I checked apps folder there is a superuser icon, but when i boot into bootloader and select recovery, the phone shows black screen with a green circle (arrows in opposite) very briefly then a black screen with a red triangle over the phone.
I have retried the process but no luck, i don't know what i am missing, guidance would be appreciated!
Thanks MAT
when u run revolutionary u should just select yes to install clockworkmod recovery. re run the revolutionary program and select yes to install cwm recovery.

Sorry Andy, i read elseware to say NO to the install
I now have the Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 installed and at this stage i have backed up my system in case!
Would the next step be to ROOT the device or am i barking up the wrong tree
Thanks MAT
nope. ul need root, its simple. in that guide theres a superuser.zip file. download it and then boot in to recovery and choose install from sdcard and flash the .zip file and ul be rooted.
EDIT: Whos andy? lol

Hi, JM, just to let you know i successfully installed a custom rom (mildwild) working ok!
Is it as easy to install the roms with 4ext or are there some which will need other additions e.g; HBOOTS, KERNELS etc?
Thanks MAT
