Hi everyone,
I'm desperate, I tried everything and can't root my Wildfire S. I unlock the bootloader, that was easy, but even with the unlocked bootloader I can't install a custom recovery, or root, or install a custom rom... nothing.
When I try to root my device always throws me write-permission problems in the internal memory (read-only internal memory).
When I try to install a custom recovery I get the error "main version is older" and only lets me restart.
When I try to install a custom rom I get the error "No image or wrong image".
I have read all the tutorials on the forum, used these tutorials files but the result is always the same: nothing.
I appreciate any help, advice,... whatever.
Thank you very much for the help and for reading me.
Regards

The problem is that what you've already tried is not obvious to us, only to you. You really not given us much information to go by. Theq86 was trying to help you, so please try to keep a kind tone.

You already tryed this ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439466
You can stop do anything else until CWM recovery flashed, this is required step.
In my manager when you plug your phone into USB select HTC sync mode I have reports that makes the rooting and cwm process work properly

- If root: make wipe dalvik cache, works fine for me, has respected all my apps.
- If not: make factory reset
Congrats for your new root status.

Hey guys ,
This is my first post and I was directed here as the experts will be around . I need your help guys to upgrade my phone Galaxy nexus . I have never did any thing on it . It has the following information that might help you guys to help me
Android version 4.0.4
Kernel version 3.0.8-gda6252b
build number imm76k.i9250jple1
I saw some phones that are rooted and have this wonderful images of Roms . I need to try them but I don't know how
I have downloaded the toolkit program but I dont know what ROM shall I select ?? which one is the best ?
Please guys , teach me how and let me start his journey with you
waiting your heeeeeeelp
start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
recs for a n00b
Since you've never rooted or used a custom ROM before I suggest starting with either mROM or MMuzzy's ROMs. They are close to stock but will get you to Android version 4.2.1
mROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763823
MMuzzy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846
Remember to MAKE A NANDROID. After you use the toolkit to unlock, root, etc. boot into recovery and MAKE A BACKUP. Also, when you root/unlock it factory resets your phone, so anything not on the SD card that you want to keep, backup to your computer.
This is the thread which completely helped when I was new to rooting and all this stuff. No further help was needed. The methods are very well explained here.

I followed every step until I plug my mobile in the fast mode , my computer asks me for drivers .!!!
I have tried to ignore it and I continued the step to flush the ROM , but finally it gives me a message as " Waiting for your Device " >>

I'm glad you're using fastboot.

Or use the guide in my Sig or stickied at the top of this forum.
Sorry, at work on mobile. No time to link.

Dont rush the root
efrant and jubakuba have both written guides. I suggest not using the tool kit until you know how to use adb/fastboot.

This may seem like an obvious idea, but are you making sure your actual phone is in fastboot mode? (Step 10 under unlocking your bootloader in the tutorial linked above.) Usually when I get this it's because I forgot to do that, assuming everything is connected.
Do you have windows 8?

1. Questions go in Q&A
2. Can you not restore the backup you made before rooting his phone?
Download Rom to your fastboot folder on computer.
Go to recovery and sideload the Rom. It should upload and then automatically flash for you.

Follow instructions well enough to post in the wrong section
Anyway, you can always use the sideload function. Download a ROM zip, place it in the same folder as your fastboot/adb programs and then select sideload within your recovery and follow the instructions. If you need more detailed instructions just google how to sideload with TWRP/CWM (whichever one is installed on your phone).

METHOD-1
If you want to be as close to stock rom you should download ARHD it is the best rom I have ever seen.If you are a total NOOB then simplest way is copy your desired rom(ARHD,IC,SD,Viper etc) to your ext-sd(if you have one or if you have an otg you may use it)then inside TWRP navigate to ext-sd then flash it!.
METHOD-2
You can do it via sideload-instructions are http://teamw.in/ADBSideload here.
Note: I would suggest to give the output of the following command before so that you dont mess with the device.fastboot getvar all then we might be able to help you out

Hi!
It`s not a Big Problem but you Need a Little Bit time.
I checked your Bootloader Pictures and I think on your M8s was in the past a custom Recovery or a custom ROM installed.
Please check this 2 Threads here in the (M8s) General section:
1/ - Link to voidzero -
2/ - Link to El-Conkistador -
Read this before you Start the work on your device!
Good Luck mate & I`ll stay tuned here for you when you have again questions.

Okay mate!
Here a other Solution for your Problem.
I think this work to 95%!
Download this File:

Make then this:
1/ I say again, download this File,
2/ Connect your M8s with your PC,
3/ Save the .zip File on your external SD Card (microSD),
4/ disconnect your M8s with the PC,
5/ Reboot in the Bootloader and
6/ Wait for the instructions on your Touchscreen.
7/ That`s all but you must before your M8s advance enough Charge!
8/ I wish you good Luck.
When you have again Problems, sure then write here!

I suspect that you have your M8s bought used and not new, or?
If you have a Custom recovery and a Custom ROM flashed so this Message appears in the Boot Splash.
As I said, it is now the Best to contact ckpv5!
I think you are allowed to write him also a PM.

You need to save the zip file to SD card. Load boot loader and use volume buttons to chose opkv.img file and press power. Back to stock and then try recovery twrp or other.
