First unlock your bootloader http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028 this is the guide that I used
http://revolutionary.io/ this is for S-OFF
---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------
Plus the codename for Wildfire is "buzz" so it will ask what model the HTC is so click "buzz".
I already tried that but the thing is i canot find a rom to unlock my bootloder. My build verion is 2.24.161.2 CL298713 release _key. I also tried finding the rom elsewhere but found unsuccessfully, so i am not sure if there is any available for my version.

dnot bother unlocking your hboot. its still hackable in its current state. when you look at the thread linked here follow all instructions until step1.bat has finished.
It will then autorun goldcardtool.exe and it will get your cid from your micro sdcard in the phone. after that it links to a website that no longer runs. instead go here and enter your cid. download the goldcard and then add it to the goldcard helper by selecting load goldcard and selecting your downloaded goldcard.img . then hit patch mmc.
Lastly run step2.bat and you should start the downgrade process once successful you can the run revolutionary and gain s-off.
I did attempted that method but it said the gold card cannot be read. I am not sure but it might not be a valid gold card generator as the main website is currently down and when I used the one suggested by you already. It say it unable to pass the cid check.

Try a different micro SD card as not all are compatible with being a goldcard

Hi all,
I've never rooted or made a goldcard for my desire, but I upgraded to 2.3 using the RUU and was so pleased with the de-branding I wanted to unlock it too...
I tried to use this utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16227825#post16227825 but it didn't work with HBOOT 1.02.0001 and RADIO-5.17.05.23
I tried to use the original RUUs to downgrade my phone, but it doesn't work and I get loads of different errors with different RUUs like 131, 140, 130 etc... basically telling me the carrier ID is incorrect or the RUU is the wrong version.
Is there a way I can restore an older ROM and HBOOT to be able to use the unlock utility?
Sorry, but at the moment there is no way to do what you want. But I am pretty sure there will be very soon.

In short: No
Longer: It MAY emerge as developers go to work on the update, but as you must have read when you ran the update there is no way back that is supported by hTC, and s-off or any kind of root will not work so far. The best you can do is to wait.

Thanks guys... no, I skipped reading that part but I was hoping the latter might be possible nevermind... I don't need it unlocked yet anyway still have a few months in this contract...
Will I at least be able to pay t-mobile to give me a working unlock code? - or will the new HBOOT have changed the code or something? lol
I plan to keep this phone for a while when it's out of contract... at least until the next generation come out that have a 2ghz quad core
It is taking longer than expected. Is any one able to root the HTC desire with Gingerbread RUU Update.
Desperately waiting root. Requesting developers to help several people like me to root the desire.
I did not read the warning too...

I removed all the pre-installed software by flashing a cut down custom ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842771.
In order to do this all I needed to do was unlock and root the device. which I did via: http://www.htcdev.com/, click on the unlock bootloader link and follow the instructions, I don't remember all the details and I've only done it once, but I don't recall it being difficult. This unlocks the bootloader so you can install custom ROMs but doesn't S-OFF the phone, but it would seem that the phone doesn't have to be S-OFF to install custom ROMs.
However I am now looking to S-OFF the phone (so that I can allocate unused space in system.img to data.img), I've followed many many tutorials and guides and nothing works, reading this thread, it would seem that it's not possible for HTC Wildfire S - HBOOT 1.08.0099 or 1.09.0099 (mine is the former). Am I correct in this assumption?
I have read about Revone on other threads would this work with my phone? Has anyone tried it?
Cheers

Also have I read that people with my version have to "skip the RUU step and move to the 2nd step", what is the 2nd step? Where should I start from? I have really read a lot of threads but I'm kind of new to this and I dont want to mess my device up. Thanks everyone.

That also updates my HBOOT? As much as I have read I have seen that updating the Android verison didn't help with the errors.
And I still would like to know what people mean when they talk about "skipping the 1st step (RUU) and move straight to 2nd" with my version?
If u update your android with RUU it can update anything ^^, i flashed my WFS to HTC EU 2.3.5 (as stock i got 0.90.0000 too, after flashing 1.08.0000), there's an tutorial how to do it with RUU.
About skipping, its to get rom_1 and rom_2 from Bootloader unlock Rom, to use it manualy, but i think its a bit dangerous to skip a some versions like from 0.90.0000 to just 1.08.0099. Also what brand your phone is? Orange. T-mobile. ?
I had 2.3.5 android on HBOOT 0.90.0000 (yea, HBOOT ver. didn't changed after new RUU,strange)
Just aplied the RUU from HTCdev.com (HTC EU 2.13.401.2), unlocked it through HTCdev manual, and then rooted using this TUT http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432074

Updating from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 will not update your HBOOT. That's what the process at HTC dev is for. Try that and if that doesn't work, use the link I posted above.

Very useful information. This answers the OP's two questions:
1. Does the 2.3.5 RUU update HBOOT? NO.
2. Can some phones with HBOOT 0.90.0000 be unlocked and rooted? Yes.
Until the OP tries to unlock his phone, I don't know what else we can do to help him.
Well my bad
You just need actuall Android version to match the BT UNLOCK RUU.
I installed the 2.3.5 update and tried running the unlocker from HTCdev, i choosed the right version 2.13.401.2 and it says ERROR 190 Rom is not up to date, when i just updated it?
And when i try that trick from SD card, it says Main Version is older, update fail!
HBOOT still shows as 0.90

i know someone will flame me for asking this, i expected it... if u havent noticed i been with this forum since 2007, and i do know how to use Q&A and i would not be asking a question if it was a simple matter...
unless u can point me to the right tool or guide for HBOOT-1.03.0003 with S-ON, u can save flaming to yourself
Sorry to bring you a bit of bad news... the official HTC S-OFF is a real *****! There's no patch for HBOOT-1.03.0003 out there yet and I don't know if there will ever be one. You can try writing to the guys doing Revolutionary (i.e. Alpharev and Unrevoked) and see if they plan on patching this new HBOOT version.

Yeah, if he has one. IIRC goldcard was only an instrument in rooting branded phones? The error code would mention incorrect CID or something like that.

Goldcard didnt work, it says somthing like no image or wrong image after a bar on right hand side goes up....
also quick question is Reversing CID from CMD is just like 12a456 to 654a21 or is it something else, coz http://hexrev.soaa.me/ gives me some other result.
aka my CID from cmd is
1e41425553442xxxx0058003fd00a5f6 so reverse shuld be
6f5a00df3008500xxxx24435552414e1
and then replace first too with 00

HI TO ALL,
WE BRIEFLY EXPOSE MY PROBLEM.
IN JANUARY I BOUGHT A DHD FROM ALIBABA WEBSITE FROM CHINA,
THE PHONE TO ALL APPEARANCE LOOKED LIKE IN THE DESCRIPTION,
ONLY WHEN OPERATORS VERIFICATION HTC I DISCOVER THAT THE DHD
It's BRANDED UK, and that in ANY CASE it was UNLOCKED, so much is that I USE HERE IN ITALY with 3 CARD.
INFORMATION SOFTWARE is WRITTEN that I MOUNT a ROM 2.3.3
SENSE 2.1 SOFTWARE NUMBER 2.50.405.2
THE PROBLEM ARISES HERE.
To USE the HTC'S OFFICIAL GUIDE to UNLOCKING the BOOTLOADER I NEED the VERSION NUMBER 2.50.61.3
BUT I DO NOT UPDATE Correctly, and ACCORDING to HTC OPERATORS THIS HAPPENS because the PHONE is unlocked and HAS an UNOFFICIAL VERSION of the 2.50.405.2 SOFTWARE.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IS NOT OFFICIAL?
AND THE OTHER THING THAT I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IS THIS: HOW DO I AT THIS POINT TO USE THE HTC OR ANY OTHER GUIDE WHICH REQUIRES FROM ME A VERSION THAT I DON'T HAVE?
THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN UNLOCKED, WHICH I DO NOT KNOW HOW IT WAS DONE, I HAVE TO PERFORM CERTAIN PRELIMINARY STEPS BEFORE RUNNING A ROOT RELEASE?
Thank you.
THESE ARE THE INFORMATION MEETING IN BOOTLOADER:

First, your all-caps style is difficult to read. Second, you are already S-Off; you don't need to unlock anything because you've already got something better. Just flash a recovery image from fastboot and flash a ROM from that recovery. If you don't know how to do that, look at the Ace Think Tank in my signature.
it's ok..but
I realized that the phone is already in s-off.
in another Italian forum have advised me to use advance tool kit to take root.
for you is an intuitive program? can I use so I not expert?
Another question: where can I download it?
This program does not block the phone and only serves to unlock the root?
thank

Hack kit is retired. Signing to this forum you agree to follow the rules...then do it. Read the stickies and the guides available. Besides you have another post saying that you want to unroot....
