Hello,
First, if its a very noobish question, sorry! I want to root my wildfire. I have read a lot of forums/threads but have some struggles.
My phone have been 2 times to HTC because it rebooted from itself. In the shop they said: The software behind the software is updated.
In bootloader? (power on and volume down) i get these information:
Buzz PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.01.0001
There doesn't stand anywhere Locked or Unlocked in purple. The only thing is S-On
Now i start with rooting i get some troubles like i first said.
I installed htc sync and deleted it. and used Revolutionary : <waiting for device>
Then another thread gives htc drivers so i used them in device manager.
It goes well, beta key accepted and all. -> Rooting then comes the following message: Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. ( i use the original usb charger cable)
Yet i look on other threads they say, try again and i will work. I tried everything, New drivers, As Admin, Without sd card, with sd card, without sim, with sim. And so on.
Because i own an mac too i tried it on my mac with unrevoked3. Without any good results.
is there anyone who can help me, or know a solution.
i have read somewhere you don't necessarily need s-off is this true?
I would like to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958275
Thanks in advance, Sorry for my ****ty englisch but its not my native language
THANKS !

What kind of usb port are you using? Is your on a big pc use one of the ports on the back and not the front, also make sure it's a usb2 port and not a usb 3
Port. Also make sure to uninstall any programs that interfere or use adb. Lastly if all the above is correct then simply use a different port, or at a push a different pc. May be easier than trying to work out what the conflict is. Keep at it with revolutionary though

Hi Community,
i have a problem. My Desire HD has a brocken USB_Port. I tried to check the Akku. The Akku works on another devices but when i want to charge the akku on my phone nothing happens, either the LED. So the problem ist the USB-Host.
No i want to get the Stock ROM of Vodafone (germany) but i read some torturials and all of them need a USB cable to get S-On and more -.-
Have anybody a solutions how to get the stock FW without any USB-Cable.
I have many other ways how to get the stock FW on Sdcard (blutooth / dropbox) etc.
But no solutions how to get S-ON
I want to send my Phone to my provider to fix it.
Btw. Its the phone of my friend.
ThX to all of you
Hi, welcome to XDA
There is a way to get the stock firmware on the phone and flash it but there is no way to remove CWM or S-Off without the USB working. I'm going to send my phone back because of a broken USB port too. Mine however works if I push the wire down while its plugged in.
To get the stock firmware on, download Swiftp from the market (if you have wi-fi) and turn it on. Then download FileZilla on your computer and input the details. That way you can transfer files over wi-fi.

Hehe **** happens -.-
Jeah i read many things now about this problem. here in Germany its a little bit funny way with the warranty
i´m @ work now but i try to connect the phone to PC at home again (now because the akku is now fully loaded) when nothing happens i will just put on stock Firmware and put hboot S-ON... but radio s-on will be tricky...
At least when there is no way to get back a radio s-on then i will be send it with s-off i hope they will accept it that way...
thx and will be the good side with us

hmm
I read some other Forums and Threads where some have a discussion about this topic... So i dont know... But i think when i Put a "original software" and the s-on will apear
WHO CARES ?
I just hope for my friend he get a new one
So, I have this Droid Incredible 2 from a Co-worker that I said I would try and fix for him. He knew I was a little better at trying to fix stuff like this since I've done all this stuff before on my Droid Incredible and Motorola Xoom Wifi.
The Problem:
When starting the phone like normal it gets stuck at the HTC screen.
What I've tried so far:
- PG32IMG.zip (Stock 2.3.4) Starts going through the process and then sticks at "Updating Recovery"
- Recovery will start and continues to say "Updating software from Verizon Wireless," but then turns to the red warning sign with the android guy.
Other Important Info:
- S-ON
- HBOOT-0.98.0000
- Android Version 2.3.4
- Can't get the phone to show up in "ADB Devices" on PC, but I can get my Droid Incredible and Xoom too.
I looked for hours on multiple sites and always came up short with the solution being to either have S-Off or turn on USB debugging. Both of which wont work because I cant get that far.
Anyone have any ideas? (I've been a lurker on these forums for a while now and I've usually found what I needed here)

See if you can downgrade the phone. That will reset it to bootloader .97.
Check your software version first. Are you on the 6.x software?

OK, the only thing is I couldnt tell you because the phone wont even get past the white HTC boot screen so I can't even get into that option or anything else like it for that matter. The only thing I have to work with is the bootloader menu (HBOOT, FASTBOOT, RECOVERY (Doesnt work), etc.)
I guess just one day it just stopped when he tried loading a random rom on it.
sorry, I can't read. delete this.

Are you using the stock usb cord? Sometimes using a different one will work.

I've tried my droid incredible cord, my xoom cord, my lumia 900 cord, and the stock one he gave me. They work on all my other devices, so it's down to this incredible 2 being a pain.
I somehow got my computer to notice the device as "My HTC" under device manager by putting it in "fastboot usb." Doing so and running the downgrade hack I get the following in the cmd window and it looks to be stalled:
C:\vwhk-12102011-c>fastboot oem rebootRUU
...
If I'm right doesn't the device have to be in debugging mode before the computer will show the device under "adb devices?" (Which as I said wont happen because I can only work with the bootloader menu)
take the sdcard out of the phone put it in an adapter, plug it into the sd slot on computer and transfer the ruu to the card that way, then put back in phone

Tried it both ways for kicks (Main Version is Older through HBOOT and C:\vwhk-12102011-c>fastboot oem rebootRUU ... again).
And yes I put both a copy of the RUU changed too PG32IMG and another one with RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.18.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_199487_signed on the sd card, once again just for kicks.
what ruu are you trying to put in? it has to be the latest or the 2.3.4 with .98 hboot, then you can run the downgrade tool. also the bootloader has to be locked, if it is unlocked, you must relock, ( i don;t know all your circumstances so i'm just trying to narrow it down)
you can get that ruu from jellybellies or condemned soul on here somewhere

Well now I'm trying to use the newest from jellybellies (2.3.4 w/ .98 HBOOT), but the downgrade tool stops in the same place and when trying to run the update through the bootloader it stalls and freezes at "[2] RECOVERY - Updating."
The bootloader is locked as it's highlighted in pink on the very top as well.
I do appreciate all the help from everyone so far.
Well buddy i don't know if your running the downgrade tool you must have gotten the ruu installed, here's another thing i found out, it's better to run the downgrade on a 32bit system, i had trouble on a 64bit, then tried on my other computer and it went. you could try a different computer, sometimes it works.
also, you must run as administrator, remove any sync stuff like htc sync or itunes, and disable virus program, friggin itunes will mess you up
So, I gave up on the other methods for now and decided to try the HTC Unlocker Utility for the hell of it. I get all the way to the end and I cant select "YES." I can only select "NO"

Do you mean AAHK (Advanced Ace Hack Kit)? If so, could you post the output from when you try to use AAHK?
you can do it thru windows, just remember to turn off all security features or the root will fail.

sri, that is pretty clear, isn´t it? Have you installed the driver included in the tools>windrivers folder with the phone unplugged?
If you are not sure, then uninstall the drivers, unplug the phone. Install it again and then plug the phone and let it install correctly. Make sure that you use the oem cable and if that is not working try using a different oem cable and a different 2.0 usb port (it won´t work on a 3.0)
And make sure to
Disable any antivirus you have before unzipping the aahk

Sorry for my stupid question, but how do i distinguish between USB 2.0 and 3.0 on my laptop. Since I am also having the same problem while running AAHK. Also, what should I do if I can't find the htc driver after installing it.

Normally the usb 3.0 ports are blue
About the driver: Why would you want to find it? The important thing is that it is installed so your computer recognizes the phone correctly.
But anyway, on my PC I have a folder in the start menu named HTC, subfolder HTC Driver. You could use that as an indication for the driver being installed.

Ok, I have rooted phones before but this one is proving to be a pain. It isn't my phone. It belongs to a mate.
His screen became unresponsive. He searched the web and found that it may well be the digitiser so he bought one off ebay and fitted it himself. All good so far. However, it seems to be a common thing that when you fit a new digitiser it requires calibration and before you can calibrate it, it simply doesn't respond.
So, I have a phone with no usable screen. It turns on and I can see the screen no problem but I cannot get into it. He then turned to me. I found there is a tool to calibrate it which you can install called PG76DIAG. Put this on the root of the SD card and run the bootloader and run it. However it complains it can't run it. I'm not entirely sure why but I read that rooting the phone would mean I could.
So to root the phone I need to set s-off. Fine, I downloaded unrevoked to do this. However this needs me to set USB debugging mode on. As my mate is a technophobe he a) has no idea what that is and b) hasn't turned it on.
As the screen is not working I can't turn it on. So at the moment, I cannot root the device. Does anyone have any ideas how I can root the device or get the screen working?
Thanks.

Ok, first off are you sure its a wildfire s (marvel) and not a wildfire (buzz/bee).
The wildfire s does not have a s-off, except for the cdma one. But the tool you ran would have s-offed it if it was.secondly Can you boot into the bootloader again and tell me what it states.
ie device code name, hboot version and radio version.
Thirdly, if you do have a wildfire s you can still run the diag.nbh if you have a. Goldcard, root not required and that in turn will recalibrate the screen

Ok have a read at this http://www.theandroidsoul.com/guide-how-to-create-goldcard-sd-card-for-htc-android-phones-w-video/
A goldcard is used to make htc devices ignore cid checks for ruu's ect. But this will allow you to run the pj76diag.zip which in turn will calibrate your screen. Although you will not gain s-off
The website linked in this guide is dead, but i can generate goldcards so bump this thread with your reverse cid and we can give it a bash

ok use this goldcard and follow the guide to patch the file into your micro sd card. it Needs to be the same card you took the cid from.
make sure that if it is your main sd card that you back up everything on it, just incase it needs to be formatted afterwards.
after that you need to run this from your sd card in the bootloader to use the diag file to make the phone boot into the diagnosis file.
that in turn should recalibrate the screen
Ok, the PG76IMG.zip file in the second link.
Do I put that in the root of the CD card that I've just made into a goldcard? Do I extract it?
Thanks.

ah, sorry it goes onto the root of the sd card, still zipped and unchanged
Cool. Ok I did that. I restarted and chose recovery from the bootloader and I get the red triangle. First of all I get a phone icon with a green circle which then changes to the red triangle.
It did this before I started working on it anyway. Part of me thinks the thing is bricked anyway. Any further ideas?
When I ran it with the goldcard it didn't complain though.
Any other thoughts?

You shouldn't choose recovery at all. You shouldn't get the chance, the phone should find the diag file and jump straight into it. Also, that is just the stock recovery screen, its fine. This leads me to think the goldcard has failed. Did the hboot search the card or just allow immediate control from the volume buttons?

You shouldn't choose recovery at all. You shouldn't get the chance, the phone should find the diag file and jump straight into it. Also, that is just the stock recovery screen, its fine. This leads me to think the goldcard has failed. Did the hboot search the card or just allow immediate control from the volume buttons?

My mistake I've linked the wrong file :-/ download this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=785885&d=1321564172 and extract onto the root of your sd card. Then try again, you shouldn't need to re-goldcard unless you have formatted it since.

Sorry for being such a n00b but I assume with this one I extract the RAR file and put both the files inside onto the root?

Ok I did that but it says Security Failed. If I try and open the zip file in Windows it says the file is invalid.

Ok I guessed that the nbh file is the one I need so I put just that one in the root. Rebooted and it parses the file and then says security fail, update failed.
I reckon I'm gonna tell my mate to buy a new phone.

Hmmm :-/
Sounds like its probably for the best. Unless the goldcard is failing that should be working....

I'm going to give it one more go from start to finish and I'll let you know. If it fails I'll tell him to dig deep and buy a new phone

Hey. I am having the same problem. I've managed to get my cid. Would there be any chance you could make me up a gold card image for it please?
Here's the cid I got from goldcard helper.

If you have a custom recovery you can go to recovery and usb debugging is already enabled and you can also mount usb storage giving you access to the sd card.

I have rooted and unlocked my Desire HD from HTC's website with filename.bin .
I searched for a while but I was just confused. There is a lot of bad english and bad explanation. I stumbled on a tool called "Deathscream's S-OFF tool" which for some people works but for other it's bricking their devices. So thanks, but no thanks.
So my simple question is:
What's the best way to S-OFF a rooted and unlocked device which has a custom rom, preferably w/o downgrade-ing?
Thank you.

what i know is..there is AAHK2 script by Phiber2000 in here that can s-off the unlocked bootloader but the script already including process downgrading and will tell you if the hboot needed process downgrading first before s-off process..
if the script needed stock rom file for downgrading..you can search in here..find the right stock rom that suitable with your CIDnum of your phone..
hope this help..
I forgot to mention that I'm on Windows 8.1 so no luck under Windows. But I do have a live usb with ubuntu on it. The script requires Windows 7 or 8 and I'm not reinstalling my OS just for this. Also I don't have an sd card from those brands mentioned in that thread(which is a silly requirement).

What i know is i think that's script can running on windows 8.1 too..because i don't see reason why that script can't running on 8.1..i don't know if i missed something..
About the sd card brands..maybe silly to hear that first..but i'm sure that's important things to prepare before running that's script for success fully s-off the device..
Just imagine that the bootloader is like your bios on your pc n you can ask your self how much important the media itself to put and loading a bios file for flashing your bios..
Hope this help...sorry for my bad english..

No luck for Windows 8.1 because there are no HTC drivers for 8.1

Thanks for the advice but I did that already before and ****ed up my USB 3.0 ports and then some. When I turn on my PC my mouse and keyboard don't work (they are in different USB 2.0 ports) and my HD which is in 3.0 stops every couple of minutes which is driving me mad. I need to reinstall all my USB drivers soon.
As for the phone I'll do it from linux, from scratch, or from another PC.
