You need to flash a recovery(search the development thread for clockworkmod recovery)
Flash this recovery via fastboot(search the whole forum for a guide)
And then flash a ROM(or other things) of your choice via the recovery menu.
Hope this helps

Personally, I downgraded by flashing a stock 2.1 RUU, then used unrevoked 3.2 to root it and install clockworkmod.
Then just flashed a cyanogen nightly (#57). Although you can choose whatever rom you want.

I have tried with unrevoked 3 to root the phone, but at some point i got the following message:
Validation error: Backup CID is missing
any idea how to fix that?

When i flash unrevoked 2.2 after s-off and downgrade to 2.1 is had the same problem. I don't know why but unrevoked 3.14 worked fine. For me newer is not always better.

once S-OFF, downgrading and then rooting is a lengthier process. As already stated in the post #2, after S-OFF just flash a recovery from the fast boot menu and thats all ur phone is rooted.
get the PC49IMG.ZIP file and the process from here. (most painless and secure algorithm)

Also learn to search.

Alright. I think I'm gonna get my device S-OFF soon...
So all I have to do is
1. Flash to 2.1 RUU
2. Flash a recovery via fastboot
3. Flash a new ROM
That is all right?

If you are going for Step 2, there is no need for Step 1. Just flash a recovery via Fastboot, and you are good to go with Custom ROMs, even on the updated HBoot.

I've been reading alot about this but I don't geddit. Everyone says that with hboot 1.01.0002 you can't get s-off without using the xtc clip. Are you saying you just downgraded to Android 2.1 then flashed a custom ROM

What you have heard is false. HBoot 1.01x requires XTC Clip to get S-OFF, and, only then can it be downgraded and rooted.

Rooted ROM

If i used XTC clip to S-OFF a wildfire, is it then possible to restore a rooted ROM? Or do i need to root the phone, then when i load any ROM it is rooted, because root is at a lower level?
Is root access something which is stored in the operating system or some lower level?

Root is given by the app called Superuser. Just as in linux, every program that wants to do something that needs root rights, has to ask for it. In android that permission is "tunneld" by the superuser, which asks you if you want to grant an app root access, and then gives it to that app with your permission. But of course, the only way that superuser can grant root access, is when it is propperly installed, and has some files in the /system folder. Which is not possible without root permissions
So: if you are s-off, you can flash a recovery image trough fastboot (working with unrevoked gives you the custom recovery right away) by the adb command "flastboot flash recovery " (google for "cyanogenmod wiki flastboot" if you are planning it, it is really nice explaned). Trough that recovery you can apply some kind of an "update.zip", which installes the right superuserfiles on your system anx changes nothing else. Notice me if you want those files, I know where to find them here on xda.
From that moment on, when an app asks for root permission, you get a popup from the superuser app to ask if you really want to grant that app such permissions or not: if yes, the app has root access now!
This is all based on my experience with the stock ROM, don't know how the process works in CM or wildpuzzle.
Erwin
Edit: and if you want to delete or modify rom specific things (like htc stock app), you can connect your phone to your computer, mount your system as read/write by the command "adb remount" and then delete it trough adb commands. No need to go trough recovery for this.
Perhaps the same is possible if you have a file manager that can handle rooted phones, but not sure about that.

[Q] SU Binary Update dont Sucess

Hello Folks,
i have a problem with my Wildfire (was Branded with T-Mobile DE)
I have downloaded the Update for Superuser and now it always say that my SU Binary is too old. But if i want to update it, it get an error at the point to get the /System write rights.
How do i get it work?
Here are some informations from the Bootloader of my Phone:
BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON

MICROP-0622
TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac

The currently installed ROM is CM7 Nightly 199
and the CWM Version is 2.5.0.1
And sorry for my bad English, i prefer German

From what I could tell, the S-ON seems to be the problem.

and how do i make it s-off?
cause my h-boot is 0.80.0002 and Alpharev X only works with 1.00.0001

From i know you need to update to official 2.2 with a RUU and then s-off.
Check one of stickies in development for more details.

Hi, can't remember exactly my method but try to explain best I can.
I flashed safe not rooted rom from 3xeno's sticky page. Then I downloaded on PC the ruu. Exe and this is the part o can't remember but I got the rom image from the exe and turned it into a pc49 img then placed on SD root and rebooted into hboot? ( Power + vol down ). It did its magic then I just used revolutionary to s-off and did clean install of cm7 to replace revs su. Hope this makes sense!!! And is of help.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

To update the su, just flash the signed zip from here: http://androidsu.com/superuser/

With a RUU, you must be in Android. (so not fastboot or anything else).
Then, if it works.
You open Revolutionary (you found it on revolutionary.io) in admin mode. And then it's okay

how to install custom while bootloader is locked and phone is rooted s-off

i rooted by using clockmod recovery (s-off) without unlocking the bootloader.so now i can install custom roms or not?

You need either a unlocked bootloader or S-Off to root a device.
If you are rooted properly then you can certainly flash Custom ROMs.
Before that go to ClockworkMod Recovery and take a complete Nandroid Backup of your current Stock ROM so that you can flash back Stock when you need.

can i install custom rom without unlocking the bootloader or i have to unlock the bootloader?

You need a rooted device to flash Custom ROM. To get rooted you need to unlock the bootloader or make S-Off.
You said that you are rooted the device with S-off. That' enough you can flash any ROM.
Still if you are not sure you rooted or not just refer this guide:

i cannot unlock bootloader because kernal version 2.6.35.10 ruu is not available on htcdev

Press <power> + Vol Down type what is displayed on your HBOOT.
If your Hboot version is 1.08.xxxx or later version you may skip the RUU Process and try to unlock the bootloader.
Follow the guide, it will help you to root.

I have Hboot Version 1.03.0000

You need to Update the bootloader thru HTCdev.com
Follow the steps carefully and patiently and update the bootloader. For RUU you have to choose according to your country/region and carrier, which matches with. But be sure to chose the right one.
You need to have installed HTC Sync, Android SDK and Java Runtime on your PC, those links are available with Guide itself.
After updating the bootloader, you need to root the device. Then install ClockworkMod Recovery, which will help you to take the Nandroid Backup of your STOCK ROM.
Thereafter if you need, can install LINK2SD which will help you to install all your apps on your SD Card. So that phone's internal memory will be increased and you can see a considrable fast with the device.

as i told u my kenral verion ruu is not listed on htc dev i have already installed clockworkmod reccovery and lind2sd
i just want to install custom rom
all guides of installing custom roms says that u have to unlock bootloader to install custom rom

If you are S-OFF, then you can just install a ROM. There is no need to unlock the bootloader.

is there a way to unlock bootloader without htcdev

is there r chances to hard brick my phone while flashing custom rom?

Hi,
Since your bootloader says S-OFF, you can try any custom ROM.
Just refer the below link, If you like it just download the ROM and Flash it. See all the features listed there. It's not available with the STOCK ROM!....

1) clockworkmod is custom recovery,it's most essential thing after unlocking your bootloader.
by this you can flash custom roms,mods etc.
2) HBOOT is when you remove battery and press power+volume down button.it's hboot menu by this you can select recovery,fastboot etc.
3) kernel is connect hardware to software.in short most essential thing in linux environment.
rooting any device is just you add root permissions.main job is unlock the bootloader then you can add custom recovery (clockworkmod)
that's it.after for root permissions you can flash root.zip (it's zip file contains one su binary and superuser app)
hope you get it.
so steps are :
unlock bootloader
flash custom recovery
add root permissions by custom recovery.

Hi sir,
i used above link and was confused with that tool so i followed another thread and it worked in taking backup but i was again unable to root my phone. So please help me.....!
Below was the method i followed
Intro: People with 2012 WFS reported to have no CWM visuals (i also do)
*NOTE: Even if you DID install this CM based rom wont work only stock based one*
CWM:
1. Unlock bootloader via HTCdev.com (look for guides there are plenty here)
2.Download http://www.mediafire.com/?pqtgftm40909r31 *updated*
3.Extract to C:/
4.Go to fastboot
4.Open Command prompt
5.type cd c:/WFS
6.type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
7.wait for flashing to finish
8.Remove battery
9.Go to bootloader
10. click recovery wait for visuals
ROOTING:
*same as other methods*but..
1.move the cursor up then down until you see ( back button enabled)
2.Backup
3.Flash root.zip
Help me out to root my phone please sir...
Thank you
Hi bro,
