I have an HTC Explorer and have installed CM 9 easily. Unlock bootloader through HTC , install custom CWM recovery using fastboot, then install CM 9 zip from sd card using CWM recovery. I have tried to do the same with my daughter's Wildfire. I get as far as installing a CWM recovery but it hangs at a "hat" icon when I try to use it. I have tried several CWM img files, including the one in the "cm49?" zip. None work. Is there a way for me to get a CWM recovery working? I don't want to go through all the s-off process, I don't think it is needed. My Explorer works great with s-on. I hope someone can help. I promised my daughter I would get ICS on her phone as her Christmas present.

If I'm not mistaken you have to flash the boot.img manually with S-ON so I think a S-Off'd device is much better and it isn't that hard to S-Off it. I don't know if the S-Off methods still work if you unlocked it before but they should.
Besides you haven't taken the CWM from Pico/Explorer and tried to install it on the Wildfire, have you?

Thanks for your reply. All the cwm img files I have used have come from this forum. I had high hopes for the one I extracted from "pc49img.zip" as it seemed to say it might work on another post. It installed like the other but doesn't work.

I got a question are you just unlocked or already rooted on the WF? I think you can't install CWM if you're not rooted. That would be nice to know. Otherwise you can may follow this guide

Just unlocked after following the procedure on "htcdev.com". With my Explorer you can root the phone with the aid of the CWM recovery you install after unlocking it. Maybe the CWM recoveries for Wildfire assume your phone is already rooted, but I don't know how to root it without having a working CWM recovery first.

Yeah you're right. I think the progress on S-ON should be like this:
-flash CWM
-flash superuser rights (thats how it worked on the HTC One X)
I found this:

Thanks for all your help miniAndroidian (the Nexus 4 should be awesome, (I am saving up, but they are not available in Australia at the moment. I told my daughter she should get one too, but she hasn't got the money either, so that's why I am working on the Wildfire)
Unfortunately the post you directed me to says you have to flash the CWM recovery from the stock recovery but I don't have that anymore as I have replaced it with the CWM recovery which just hangs. There must be a way round it, but I am no expert at all.

Back to the topic:
You have to put the "update.zip" to the root of your SD-Card and boot into the bootloader menu (the white screen with 3 android's on the bottom) and then it should recognize the new CWM.
Terrific. I didn't understand it. My daughter lives 100km from me so I will have to visit her this weekend. She left after Christmas saying "Dad, admit it you are a failure" after I had spent hours on it, so this might show her I am not as useless as she thinks. I am intending to flash the "mini" CM 9 rom. I hope this is the best one.

I really hope it works (i'm out of solutions ) otherwise you should really think about S-Off'ing it.
miniCM 9 is the fastest one but the sensor buttons don't give a vibration feedback it's a kinda annoying.
Good luck
I have had a very very frustrating day. I tried "update.zip", didn't do anything. I even renamed it "pc49img.zip" nothing. I finally found a windows program called "unlock root". I used the free version. You just connect up the phone via usb and press root. It gets you to confirm it is a wildfire and then after a bit says successfully rooted. I then installed Superuser, Rom Manager and ES File Explorer to check it.
I backed up the present rom successfully with Rom Manager. It even has an option for flashing Clockworkmod recovery and one for rebooting into recovery for manual management. It downloads CWM recovery 5.0.2.0 but it doesn't work either (looking at the files on the SD card I think it is just the same as the "update.zip"). There is also an option for installing a rom from sd card but when I went to this it asked if there was any addon, and of course I need tiny gapps. It then said I need the paid version for this. Seeing the recovery didn't work I didn't want to risk it.
My conclusion is all the present CWM recoveries require S-Off. I have read some people like the Aroma installer. I know nothing about it, but I wonder if it might be possible to install the CM 9 rom with it.
I have worked out what my problem has been. I have fallen for the old Trackball trick. I must be the only person not to know you use the Trackball in CWM recovery not the power button. I sent my daughter an email and she has confirmed the recovery in Rom Manager actually works when you use the Trackball. I will have to visit her again now to install CM 9.
MiniCM9 installed. Working great. I will put a how to in "General"
I've been following xda for a while now, but this is my first post so please take it easy on me, if I posted this in the wrong thread.
I am not new to rooting and costom roms. I have successfully rooted one phone before and I used it for a more than a year, didn't have any problems at all. Yesterday I got myself HTC One X and today I tried to root it and somehow got myself stucked/bricked.
The phone is stuck on HTC Quietly brilliant screen. I can get into bootloader, but thats it. What can I do? I already tried to flash back the original ROM, but couldn't get device to connect to PC. I looked all over the forum and googled it and still can't seem to find the solution. Any help would be highly apprechiated.

Something went wrong when I tried to root it. It probably didn't go through with it. I tried to flash a stock rom back, after I got stuck but it won't go, because I can't connect with PC.

Which recovery have you installed? If it's twrp you can mount SD from there put a custom ROM on it with superuser (root) flash that ROM from recovery and you have root. It's by far the easiest way to flash a custom ROM to get root instead of getting root on a stock ROM.
And BTW, the hox is not easy to brick of you ask me so don't panic (yet)

need to be more specific. did it happend just after you tried rooting? or did you try to install/flash rom/kernel/(recovery etc)
try to root again . use this tool. its the easiest. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604439
i m no expert but from my experience your problem occurs when you flash incampatable kernel..also, we cannot s-off our one x so you have to flash the kernel (named as boot.img, if not , you rename it) manually via fastboot. (download sdk tools) when flashing new rom.

As you said, I used that tool. I installed HTC Drivers, registered at HTCDev, got TokenID, submitted it and unlocked Bootloader. Everything went ok, the only thing that was wrong was with the MTP device driver, which failed to install every time. (I think that was the reason why it disconnected with PC). I then procceded to Perm Root where it got stuck on the phone with red explanation point screen. From there I could still reset phone to a normal state like there was no changes.
Then I tried InsecureBootAndRoot, followed the steps and shortly after it started rooting, the program closed and it was stuck here. I tried to do it again, but I got the message: Waiting for a device.
Can you explain in more detail, how to flash kernel manually, if my computer doesn't recognize device?

No, I haven't. I am now practically without a rom (I think). I would prefer custom rom (like cyanogen).
The problem is that everytime I try to do anything for example, flash back factory RUU, I get the message: device not found. Is this because of problem with drivers. Someone please help me out

If you want cyanogen you need a custom recovery like TWRP. That recovery you can flash through fastboot but like you said there is something wrong with your drivers. Did you install HTC sync on your PC. And did you enable USB debugging in your current ROM?

Yes, I got CWM recovery. I just discovered that. I installed and uninstalled all the latest htc drivers and htc sync many times. It enabled debugging mode, the last time I was on stock rom (don't know if you can check that now in bootloader?) If my phone is not rooted, than I can't install custom rom right, because I think it isn't. how can I check that?

No you don't need root to flash a custom ROM. Flashing a custom ROM will give you root. So you are doing things the wrong way. If you can get into cwm then make sure you have cyanogen.zip and gapps.zip on your phone. Extract(copy) the boot.IMG file from cyanogen. Then from cwm do a nandroid backup, full wipe except SD card, flash cyanogen, flash gapps. Then from cwm boot into boot loader, make sure you place the extracted boot.IMG in your fastboot folder on PC and in command line give commands: fastboot flash boot boot.img then: fastboot erase cache then: fastboot reboot Then you can unplug USB and it will start cyanogen and you have root.

Okay, so I installed latest CM10 and gapps. How to extract boot.IMG form cyanogen?
I extracted boot.img from Cyanogenmod zip file (that is the same for everybody, right?). I did a Nandroid backup like you said But now all I can do is wipe data/factory reset (CWM Recovery v5.8.4.0). I can't find an option to wipe only selected things.

Glad you got it up and running! Hope you enjoy the custom ROM, with every other ROM you flash you will need that boot.img to be flashed separately.
Ps. Please hit the thanks button if somebody helps you. It's designed for that.

Just came back to do that. Much appreciated!
Hi there, I have been an avid Android user for years and also a keen XDA-developer! I have sold my HTC One M8 on eBay and today while I was trying to delete everything off it, I have completely soft bricked it. My TWRP is still installed however I cannot do anything with it. I have tried mounting a ROM onto an SD card then putting into the phone to flash, it fails. I have tried sideloading a ROM, it fails. This is the first time I have been unable to fix this phone, I've been at it for hours! Can someone please give me some help, it would be VERY appreciated!

Thank you for getting back, when I am running the "adb usb" command, I receive "error: closed", I ran the adb sideload command after that to see where it would get me and it flashes to 100% and then warns me that no OS is installed. When I download a ROM to an SD card and attempt to install it I get the message "Error flashing zp '/external_sd/ROM2.zip"
Check the md5 of the ROM on the sdcard, ensure you have the correct TWRP installed, GSM, Sprint or Verizon.

I downloaded the ROM off the HTC website, a UK o2 4.4.2 version? That's what my phone was originally. I have the newest version of TWRP installed, version 2.7.1.0.

Incorrect drivers, probably.
Try using a usb2 port.
Try unplugging your phone usb to pc, removing HTC software. Rebooting computer. Installing HTC software. Plugging phone into usb2.

Ok thanks! Last question, I found a stock international ROM for HTC One M8 - If I was to copy this to a SD Card then mount it to the HTC One, would it work?
I don't know what that means.
You can copy a nandroid backup to the right folder on the phone or sdcard and restore it with the correct recovery (twrp, philz, cwm, whatever the backup was made with).

HTC M9 (t-mobile)

After installing "BETA-SuperSU-v2.68-20160228150503.zip" my phone is stuck in bootloop. It has rebooted at least 5 times. I then was able to get into HTC download mode.
What can I do now? I have a full nandroid backup.

Thanks thicklizard for the quick reply,
Ended up booting back into twrp and installing BETA-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip (aka version 2.65). Connected phone the PC while I was in TWRP, copied older zip file then installed. That fixed the issue and now I am rooted.

Flashed via twrp 3.0.0-2
This is the file:
https://download.chainfire.eu/752/SuperSU
FYI, if you are flashing a ROM, sometimes they have superSU already built in. So no need to flash your own superSU. That is the case with Viper ROM. Also make sure your firmware matches the firmware that the rom is using.
I had the same problem with SuperSU 2.76. I wiped dalvik cache and cache twice, flashed SuperSU 2.64 and no more bootloop. No backup, stock ROM. I almost crapped myself a little. About to give this thing it's first ROM flash.
Just had the same problem. Put on 2.65 and it's now booting into the OS. Thanks!
Thanked God i found this post, tried latest stable also beta seems bootloop never ends. Try v2.6 all become alive. Many thanks Sir
Same problem after installing latest SuperSu version from TWRP recovery: eternal bootloop. I didn't know what was wrong and tried different supersu versions but I became reluctant to keep trying that method after the second time... Gladly, I found your thread before doing anything else (even posting myself a thread) and now I can continue my evil rooting plans :victory: Thank you for asking and thanks for replying you prevented me to re-lock my phone and do everything from scratch. It's my first root
You're welcome guys, rooting this htc has been the best thing i have done. Let's keep the HTC community in here alive and well!
I recommend once you get the root part done backup then install xposed framework. No ads, YouTube play back without screen being on, best software once you are rooted.

I beg to differ about xposed. One wrong mod and you're phone is bricked.
Beamed in by telepathy.
I have not had any problems with exposed and that's why I said make a backup on your card. I have installed multiple Xposed modules and have not had any issues I have not seen anybody break the phone either. As I mentioned make a trip back up what is the point of rooting your phone if you're not going to use it to its full potential that's just me

Me too - Bootloop
I have an AT&T HTC One M9. Bootloader is HtcDev Unlocked, S-On, and TWRP is installed...
I previously messed up my phone bad by trying to install a OS ROM that didn't work right... So, I used my PC to overwrite it with the HTC OTA version, and that worked. I went into the M9 and tried to download and run SunShine, to get S-OFF, but it said it couldn't temproot, I don't know why, it's pissing me off, and SunShine suggested I root the device with another means. I downloaded SuperSU 2.69 and tried that, it installed okay (I guess) and said it might loop a few times. Try 100! Infinite loop. I tried SuperSU 2.65, but it said, "it's already patched!" and the system ROM had not been backed up. (I'm assuming SuperSU patches whatever is in the system partition?)
Anyhow, it's currently stuck in an infinite loop. I'm going to try re-putting the HTC OTA system ROM on it (great, I lose another half-day at this), and then re-try SuperSU 1.65.
Any idea why SunShine won't S-OFF a device? Why won't temproot work? Any other (good) way to root it?
Twrp question?
I have twrp 3.0.0 installed I make a backup of system and boot... when I boot in the first time on twrp displays a message saying something about OTA protection if I want to receive otas and protect the recovery??? What is that... sorry for my bad English is not my mother language...

i think your s-on on bootloader mape it off then install recovery
Hi, so recently my HTC One X has been acting up so I decided to install a ROM to make it much faster, so I had to unlock the bootloader. When i've done that I flashed CWM on my device. Then I tried to install a rom that was on the device and it didn't install which leads me to my first problem, the page said I needed to reset everything and use the fastboot command to flash the zip file that worked but when I went to CWM (to install gapps) the device never booted in the ROM just kept going back to CWM. So I googled this and there was multiple things I tired out like adb command etc also it would be easier if this problem was fixed if this button worked (mount USB storage) I press that and it does not work. So then I don't know what to do. I'm stuck here please help me the rom was cm-11-20160815-NIGHTLY-endeavoru.zip.

CWM was abandoned a long time ago in the community so it won't cope with the instructions modern roms use. Its a bit sad that CWM came to a such sudden end I kind of miss the different recoveries based on it. Not to mention philz touch recovery..
Anyway go here: (its a twrp recovery) http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-x/orig-development/storage-layout-hox-endeavoru-t3022358
Read the instructions and flash the provided .img file and your phone should be up and running within the hour.
Edit: I'm not sure if that rom uses the new or old layout. The documenation is more than a bit poor because the device info is outdated on the cyanogenmod wiki. Last edited in year 2012..

If the rom will not flash with the new layout recovery provided above.
Read instrutions how to revert to old layout first. And flash this older recovery from here:

Really? Didn't realise that... Im trying to charge my phone because I can't flash it because the battery is too low. So thanks for telling me. I will post when Ive flashed it to my phone. When you flash it dosen't get rid of all the roms that's already on the phone? Because I cant access the phone within usb but does this recovery solve that? Like mount usb storage like in CWM?

Flashing the recovery will not wipe anything except the recovery partition obviously. When you boot to twrp you will be able to access the internal storage by going to Mount and press the Mount usb storage twice. And the one x should be detected on your pc.
But when you're done with the backup you will wipe all partitions with the Format data option as described in the thread I linked yesterday. So backup all important data to your computer.
Thank you so much! I'm up and running!
