Hello,
I'm new to the forums, and have only just recently got a HTC Wildfire A3333 running 2.2.1.
I have tried to use " [GUIDE] Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX (HBOOT 1.01.0001) " to downgrade the h boot as to start to gain root.
But when I have followed the instructions, it appears to complete ok, but when I reboot in to the system menu, it still shows as .002 hboot and does not install the rom supplied.
any help would be great
EDIT: IT TOLD ME I HAD SUCCESSFULLY CREATED GOLD CARD
GlennBrownie
same goes with me mate, i got the gold card and then i insert it, it all goes but when the cmd closes it still shows hboot 1.01.002
This happened to me on a Telstra wildfire (A3335). if you make it so the CMD window doesn’t close (I used an alternative shell) you will see that it actually gets some error before closing, which is why it doesn’t actually change the hboot.
I must have done it 20 times before I got it to work. I can't remember what I did differently the time I made it work, but it was something to do with which usb mode the phone was in for each step, and when I decided to change it from one mode to the other. Basically trying to make it so the phone wouldn’t say “preparing SD card” after I had made the goldcard.
Worst part was when I finally downgraded my Hboot, alphrev X still wouldn’t work for me. Continued to get the error of “Retrieving Caroline from certain doom...” and "mtd: not writing bad block at 0x00000000" I've since given up..
okays, thanks for the help, ill try that, but with alpharevx the problem they are tring to fix is the part where you need to restart into fastboot the second time, so in this case, ill give that a try. the thing is that im useing windows 7 enterprise, i have the hboot drivers all installed and etc, i used the intructions given to me and everyone else where you have to make the gold card. in that intruction it stated to put the sd card into the usb or sd port, the thing i did was switch my phone to mount the SD card and create it via there, i think the part where we all went wrong is unmounted it after we finished making the sd card. so try that, and with your problem i tghink you need to try and run the program in ADMIN mode (right click and run as admin) and then try and get the HBOOT drivers from Unrevoked installed. give that a try and hope it all works out
cheers
Well I managed to get step2.bat to run in a cmd so that it stayed open,
it came up with "FAILED <remote: 42 custom id check fail>".
when HTC booted in to bootloader it still showed same h.boot (.0002)
Please see attached screenshot.

my question is, when i run alpharevx, it asks me for the beta key, note that it doesnt show my device name or anything like how i did it before i downgraded, any ideas why? and does anyone have a beta key for me to use? because the one i got with my phone when i entered it in said it was incorrect, when before before i downgraded it worked perfectly fine (except the rotting part).
what Beta key, I dont recall one?
To get a new beta key just follow this link, click download and then enter your phone's SN.

Make sure you properly created a working gold card. Retry with gold card.

If it doesn’t show your device properly just reboot your phone. Basically every time the program fails it won’t show your device properly until you reboot again (This will also fix the issue where it thinks you have the wrong beta key). People suggesting to go get a new beta key have no idea. Have they not noticed that it doesn’t matter which HBoot version you select on the site you still get the same key based on your serial number.
yes, i used mt wildfire SN and i use the code it gives me still getting the same problem,

done it twice and it still come up with success message?
even did it through hex editor....
I tried to do it again to show screenshots.
firstly, I ran step one and it says "cannot stat" followed by file name and says "no such file or directory". see image1.jpg
I then checked the buzzdowngrade folder, and all files are there. see image4.jpg
I then attempted the goldcard, and I clicked get cid, and it loaded a CID with a lot of 0's in it so I dont think its showing correct CID, possibly hiding real CID?
image2.jpg
when I clicked patch MMC, it came up with an error message. see image3.jpg
Have you installed the HTC driver 3.0.0.007. If not, install it first before even going with step1.
And regarding step2, creating a working gold card is important. If you still get custom id errors, try with a different memory card. And run the gold card tool as administrator. And in that you will see mmc0 and mmc1 options. Try creating with the other if one fails.

Just downgraded and i think i know what is the problem.
You have to change the connection status from charge only to Mass storage
then click refresh and the memory card will be available.
HTC MMC : select you sd card.
And now patch.
right, got an update.
managed to succeed with the dmisc.img and others that failed - thanks to Mattyyey, cheers Matt
We then got to flashing the rom and it failed, any suggestions?
we recreated the gold card and formated the microSD card and patched and it told us that it had succeeded.
please see screenshot.

its probably your fake SD card! I was able to run the commands in step 1 and 2 from the cmd, all but the final ROM flash. I think after we create it we should confirm its been put on the SD card via hex workshop.... I did think of this last night but I was getting tired and you dont have it installed. I suspect its just the goldcard isn't done, everything else works when typed manually into cmd.
Unless anyone else has another reason for the custom ID check failing?
MATTYYEY was correct, it was due to fake microSD card, completed gold card with authentic SD card and it worked.

what PB99IMG did you flash? are you branded?
i used this
PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_r elease_159811_signed.zip
i tried also every other pb99img i could find... but other din't work at all
should i have a goldcard or rooted phone?
i think i am not branded, but i am not shure ://
if you have your phone on contract with e.g.Orange, O2, Vodafone etc then you are branded.
With a branded phone you need a goldcard to flash an unbranded PB99IMG.
To create a goldcard follow this tutorial. Notice however you need to skip the part where they find the CID of the SD-Card using the phone, and use this tool instead, COPY DOWN THE CID WITHOUT ANY SPACES, COMMAS ETC. JUST LETTERS/NUMBERS. Then follow from the tutorial.
Once you have a goldcard try to use the same RUU you used (PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_r elease_159811_signed.zip)
I guess that is why this metod did't wokr ha? :/
i will try to make a goldcard tomorow...
THANKS!!

Hmm maybe, you could also try using a RUU instead?. What network are you on?
EDIT: By the way I just noticed you posted a 2nd thread, there was really no need.
i tried RUU
I tried milions of RUU's befor, but always the same. it shows me that i need more than 30% battery power. and i always had like... atleast 90%
I don't know what network i am on. its my friends phone.
and btw... i'm from slowenia

you mean with the goldcard? yeah I said skip the part where they get the CID (and actually all of the parts where the phone is involved), just use the tool I sent you to get the CID, put your SD in an adapter and follow the tutorial

would be ok if i use my OWN desire, switch the sd cards and try it to go to the recovery (since i my desire doesn't work with his sd card, i tried that) and mount sd card trough recovery...
cause i don't have the adapter... do you think that would be a good idea??

go to the folder where you installed adb and note the file directory. If you're having problems there's a section on my guide that can help you out
in cmd type
Code:
cd #file directory#
then carry on with the instructions on the tutorial
i found the directory
and yes i go into the folder android sdk and into the map tools...
then i should type adb devices
but it saids that the adb isn't a comand

woops thanked you by accident lol. tried to quote..
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html download this and install this sdk cos i dunno what you did. then make the directory to wherever you install it. Remember to download platform tools from sdk manager.
no... still the same afte installing platform tools
should i install everything??
-android 4.0...
-and so on
perhaps because i have widows 7?
Did you also install USB drivers? Good tutorial for installing sdk can be found in my signature over adb / fastboot guide.

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:
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.08.0000
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.53.39.03M
Oct 31 2011, 20:38:16
Menu options:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
Any Idea what i'm doing wrong

I have exactly the same problem. Please help.
I'm sure your misc version is other, like mines... to be sure u should check.
Well, i get it worked with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15530472&postcount=1
But used zergRush, coz 2.3.5 is patched for GingerBreak
Gimme sec i will edit this post with Tutorial

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.
Thanks

OK, the method described above worked for me. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the guide - this worked perfectly and now able to proceed to the next step after updating RUU - wish me luck!
I cleaned a bit Guide, Good Luck guys
Thank you so so so much!! Worked like a charm for me. Spend hours over hours before without result
I can also confirm the method worked. Thank you!
Thanks!! Another confirmation that it works!! Thanks again!!

Did you "read the effen manual" as you are advised multiple times to do? It really is important. Making sure you aren't running any antivirus is quite important too.
The ACE Hack Kit includes all you need to root your phone. And it does it all for you with very little user input.
I'm having the same issue, I have read the effen manual at least 10 times, tried the chat support and got no reply, then got banned.
I have followed all instructions to the letter yet my downgrade is still failing.
Any one have any ideas?

what the last state of your phone..?, is that already success downgrade by that script..?, or what..?
becuse what i know is...the script needed running twice step process if your phone is already had gingerbread os..
1. first the script need running for downgrade it your phone to froyo version..
2. running that script again for continued processing gaining s-off if the first downgrade process is already success..
what i know is that AAHK script is already retried...
the best way you can try is using AAHK2 script by Phiber2000 from here..
but before that...you must read carefully the guide from that thread..what requirement and compatible for running that script correctly...
hope this can help..

it can be you're had the wrong img downgrade RUU file..or you had bad sd card..
to fix that..you must download the correct RUU file (PD98IMG-GBX.zip) for downgrade process..that are suitable with your CIDnum of your phone...
to do that..you must check it your phone CIDnum with fastboot command "fastboot getvar all" then you will see your CIDnum in the output of the command is in the line "INFO CIDNUM XXXXXXXX.."
example : if your CIDNUM is HTC__044 then the downgrade RUU file you must download is "PD98IMG-GB6.zip" file
if your RUU file for downgrade is already correct but AAHK still fail..then you can try using different sd card..
did you already try using AAHK2 script by Phiber2000 from the link that i give it to you above or still using AAHK first version..?
my bad!

just do not rename it that file..lets try just ignore it what AAHK2 say's...firstly just remove PD98IMG-GB2.zip file from PD98IMG folder (AAHK2 sub folder) that you try already using it before..and just put it your new PD98IMG-GB9.zip to PD98IMG folder under AAHK2 script sub folder..and try running that script again..don't forget to disable your antivirus first before running AAHK2 script..
and just don't forget to using sd card brand that are mentioned from the AAHK2 thread it self..like Sandisk, ADATA, Samsung, Patriot Memory (this is important)
just let me know..can you show me screen shot while running that AAHK2 script process..
Thank youu! IT worked!
thank you for helping.!
I manually copied the zip file to SD card and i locked boot loader, then i boot it with hboot and hoot recognised PD98IMG.ZIP and it flashed automatically. then i run old AAHK(NOT AAHK2) and IT WORKED!

I have posted a tutorial to unbrick a wfs, and i also posted how to get out of the three vibe brick. I don't know if it really works (because i don't have a marvelc) but a user has reported it working.

I apologize. I heard that in some cases, not even that could fix it. I meant to say that there is not a fix that works in 100% of scenarios (my three-vibe could not be rectified without the use of JTAG, which I did not want to get into here.)

Oh! I understand that! I was just trying to provide a common method that I had read. I understand you weren't saying I was wrong. I was actually about to add something about your tutorial, but I had another project I was working on.
Yes, my goal is that this can be a place to help most Marvelc users solve most of their problems with as many alternatives as possible while still being fairly noob-friendly.
Thank you for reminding me of your tutorial as it slipped my mind while I was writing this in the beginning!
Hi I read your thread and I can some what understand it Hopefully you can shed some light on my situation My marvelc htc wfs is stuck at the white htc screen and won't go any farther I've flashed and reflashed roms ive always formatted data and other necessary items like I should. I did flash one rom that worked but wasn't happy with it, it worked fine but was going for cm7 now that I've read at least 100 posts I come to understand its not to reliable anyway and was just wanting anything to work stock rom would be great I understand I may need to update my CWM my current version is 5.0.2.6 I've read 5.0.2.8 was more stable for the wfs but I have no clue how to flash it when I currently have no rom on my phone. this is what my hboot says currently

What you need to do is download ClockWork Mod 5.0.2.8 from http://download.clockorkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvelc.img and then rename it to recovery.img. If you're on Windows, put it into the same directory as your ADB and fastboot commands. Next, you'll need to put your phone in fast boot mode. Go into HBOOT and choose "Fastboot" by scrolling with the volume keys and selecting with the power key.
Connect your phone to your computer.
Next, depending on the OS of your computer, launch Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Linux/Mac). Navigate to the directory with recovery.img. Now type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and then power off your phone when it's done.
Now boot into recovery. Go to HBOOT and choose recovery. Now, get on your computer and find a ROM that you like (something fairly stable). Download it. Find Simon's super wipe. Download it.
Connect your phone to your computer (if you removed it earlier).
In recovery, scroll to Mounts and Storage. Go to USB Connect or something similar (it will be near the bottom). Then on your computer, place your desired rom and the super wipe. Remove the phone from your computer and choose "Go back" on your phone. Go back to the main menu.
Backup.
Flash the super wipe. Then flash your ROM.
Go back to the main menu and reboot.

Great!! thanks this seems legit I will try this as soon as I get to my PC uhm I have windows btw and have no clue how to put the cwm into my adb / fastboot directory but I will search more about it when possible thanks for your help
Well, if you're on Windows, you should have a directory like C:\Android\ or something like that.
If you're on a Mac just do:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
If you want to have the file anywhere on Windows, you still need to have fastboot somewhere and then do the same command I just typed above.
For more instructions, follow the instructions in the guide under "I can't flash a custom recovery"
Ok In your tutorial you say "go to the folder "tools" and launch "android". Download "Android SDK Platform-Tools" " when I try to launch android nothing happens only a black cmd: box will appear for a split second then goes away. The android I'm trying to launch in the tools folder is a Windows Batch File is this the correct file?

Do you have Java installed? http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Also, you should get the JDK: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1637583.html
See if that works.

I downloaded java and the JDK file installed etc
Tried unzipping the sdk file again then went to the android tried to launch and same result I'm on (windows 7 64x bit).
I downloaded something when I was searching forums that kind of sounded like the file I'm suppose to be downloading the platform tools but there called android tools instead here's the files in it below
adb
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot
Do you think this is the same thing? I've flashed roms on the Optimus V before so I am a little familiar with the platform tools but when i downloaded them last time I just have to go into SDK manager.

That's what you want. Move them into a folder at the root of your hard drive (C:\) called "Android". (C:\Android\)
Okay great!! I went ahead and tried doing some command prompts and this is what I typed
I'm in the android file it currently says
C:\Android>
I tried typing "adb reboot bootloader" and it says
*daeon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
*daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
now my phone is connected to my PC its in fastboot mode it says in red on my phone FASTBOOT USB so I know for sure it's connected is there something wrong?

You're already in the bootloader. Fastboot is the bootloader, or at least part of it. You have use fastboot commands in fastboot.

Okay that's what I kind of thought so I tried typing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and it says
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
it is placed in the same directory as the tools are too.

Okay nvm I tried something and it worked!!!
I went and re downloaded your CWM on your tutorial and deleted the one I renamed and didn't rename it this time just kept it the way it was I then tried flashing it and success I'm now going to reboot my hboot and see if it worked but also I was searching forums and google but could not come across simmons super wipe... I will keep looking though but if you have time maybe throw a link on a post for me but thanks for helping me I hope it goes smooth from now on

I'm glad to hear you got it working!
A thought just occured that I may have overlooked in my many (unsuccessful) attempts of curing a sent-to-me 3 vibe...
Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but sd needs to be made a goldcard; so that PG76IMG.zip will auto-load...
Been a long time since I attempted but I don't remember if I checked the sd to make sure it was goldcard'd. I will go charge it up and test this new theory tomorrow (still sitting in a side-basket at work). Sometimes my mind takes a minute to put ALL the pieces together

Right, a Goldcard (unless one is S-OFF or ENG) will be required. However, achieving a goldcard requires ADB access to your phone. (The Simple GoldCard tool reads a file in /proc/*/*/ I believe to get the CID required for goldcard.) Now, ADB access is quite difficult with a bricked phone as you cannot boot into Android (or recovery) and to get S-OFF you would need to borrow the HTC Wildfire S (it MUST be a Wildfire S) to get the goldcard required.
Even with what I just said, depending on how bad your phone is bricked (Flashing a GSM RUU, for example), you may have a 100% bricked radio, thus resulting in an entirely bricked HBOOT not allowing you flash a PG76IMG.zip.
Another idea I have is that the Marvel is a PG761**** for the model number, and an incorrect RUU is the most common brick for Marvelc. What may be an issue is that the Marvelc is a PG762**** model number. The current files we have for un-bricking are Marvelc, but the android-info.txt for modelid says PG762000, therefore a GSM HBOOT (especially a locked, RUU HBOOT) would not take that file as it is for Marvelc.
What I think would be necessary is: a goldcard + a PG76IMG.zip with a GSM android-info.txt, but Marvelc radio, ROM, HBOOT, etc.
This is my idea on how we may need to do this. However, as the GSM HBOOT cannot get S-OFF without XTC-Clip which we can't use due to a lack of SIM card slot.
To get a 100% working-in-all-methods 3-Vibe Brick Recovery Method, we are waiting for the people in the S-OFF thread to get a full software S-OFF. However, even with that, we may still have issues...
I have spent a lot of time thinking about this, actually. (I'm a planner; not a dev :crying: so I can't be of much help with the dev part.) However, if it ever becomes a Team BlueRidge project to fix this type of brick (or a project by any group) I will be happy to plan (but not test just yet).
Since now we're moving into a very difficult and not-so-noob-friendly as I am intending for this thread to be, it may be a good idea to either start a new brainstorming thread or to PM or IRC or something.
Anyway, those are my thoughts.
