Hi
I'm trying to get root on an HTC Wildfire (Model Number HTC A3335).
I've googled around and found many people used to use unrevoked and then later revolutionary after the unrevoked method stopped working. Unable to download either ware from any link. Also looked through these forums, but things don't appear to promising with one thread describing it as a difficult phone to root and mentioning something about XTC clips... sigh.
I'd really love to root this phone as it is full of telstra bloatware, but other than that a very nice little device to get me through since my Note 4 was stolen :''''(
I know this is a moon shot, but does anyone know a way for me to root this phone?
Regards
Mr. Jerk

For your reference, the phone has HBOOT-2.02.0000 with S-on, Android version 2.2 and Software number 3.30.651.3.
Thanks
I was able to soft root my phone using z4root 1.3 (it has a permanent root option also). My wifi tethering app is installed but i am not able to connect to the network using it from my laptop.
I have an open question on the forum still on this so I am not sure this is the way to go but is an option.
Seems like z4root 1.3 does not work with HTC Evo.

Be very careful! I say that from experience. I have an Epic also that was super easy to root. But, I got the EVO the other day and have the same software as yours. Unrevoked root works with all EVO's except ours. And I bricked my EVO on a one-click method. Fortunetely it was so messed up that Sprint can't do anything with it except give me a new phone. I'm gonna leave root alone for awhile with this phone.
You can NOT root version 3.30, and you can NOT root using unrevoked3 if you are running Hboot 2.02
I mean you can root by going back to another version - but i couldnt even begin to tell you how to do all that...

I found this link on xda forums for HBoot 2.02: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
Would this method work?
Let me know. If it doesn't, I might have to wait for some time to have some Android genius find out a way to root my Evo version.
The first post is the one you need.

I have rooted my phone before but I don't what a custom ROM or kernel. I just want to root the phone to allow me to use setCPU and Wireless Tether.
I haven't been able to find anything that works. I tried the below link but my virus software will not allow me to save the files. I can't turn off the software (work computer).

Turn phone off
Hold volume down and boot up into bootloader
Tell us what top two line on that white screen with skating androids says.
And post in q and a next time.
First of all this would belong in the question and answer forum. This is THE method to use. Looks like you will need access to another PC then.

yeah well you were following the right guide.
did you check your device manager while phone is plugged in to make sure drivers are all set?
maybe try the universal root by xHausx
he says it should work with 2.02 now.
just follow all instructions slowly. everyone has had success with the guide your first started to use.
let us know what you get. and always be very descriptive. Must explain everything in detail to get the best help.
Hey guys I was having some trouble with that too, I had rooted using unrevoked and unrooted with the s-on tool and a PC36IMG, I tried going back to root with the original method but the modified USB driver was already installed and unrevoked wouldn't work.
Don't ask me why but I accepted the OTA update and now trying to root with the method linked to above gives me an error at the last line of step 4, telling me rageagainstthecage cannot me found.
I was just wondering if there's any hope??? I'll take any root method you can suggest.
PS the root and unroot guides I used were from the droiddemos.com but evidently I cannot link to them until I reach 8 posts.
ive tried atleast 5+ different rooting methods but cant seem to get it.. i rooted my samsung moment easily as well as others but when it comes to this evo i cant do it.. i bricked it 2 times and to the point where i couldnt even flash the stock ruu anymore but luckily it was only 2 days since buying it so i was able to do a brand new swap and now i have my new evo #2 and havent touched it yet unless i got a fool proof rooting method.. Im not trying to go thru the bricking of this one to.. any input is thankful
Just got my Desire Z a couple of weeks ago, and I'm all new to this android platform.
I (think) I wanna root my device, dont know too much about rooting and what it does, but I like the idea of getting the most out of my phone. My number one wish is to get the Gingerbread version running on my Desire Z.
I've tried searching for a couple of hours, tried some rooting thats for the regular Desire. Did not work, I think I'm not doing it right, or that the Desire rooting doesnt work for the Z.
Ok, how do I do this?
First off, you shouldn't mess with these things if you don't know what you're doing. Just guessing around, and thinking the Desire root method would work on the Vision (G2, Desire Z) was possibly a risky thing to do. You could brick your phone if you try to root by the wrong method.
Basic info on rooting (what it is) can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9143411&postcount=2
The Vision has special write protection which initially prevented rooting, which was not present on any other Android phone before it. But the guys here on XDA quickly found a way to gain write access. The proper rooting method is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2
If you don't know what rooting is, you might want to read up on it before doing something that may void your warranty, brick your phone, etc.
Also, there are no Gingerbread ROMs out for the Vision yet, so you may want to wait on rooting until that happens (if that is your only reason for wanting to root). Again, you might want to do more research before diving into it, since you won't get what you want just yet.
Try looking up root methods using visionary root. should have a 1 click root method. Although I did the manual root. But worth a try nonetheless, BUT READ THE ENTIRE THREAD AND ITS POSTS, just in case.
My girlfriend has a Evo she got on craigslist and when she purchased it, it was rooted and had s-off...I had to put factory software on it because she had to take it to sprint to get it reprogrammed back to sprint because the person she bought it from had it on metropcs...well I was wondering what do I have to do now to get it rooted again?? Because she likes the new sense UI and she wants it on her phone after seeing it on mine and I don't wanna mess nothing up...I'm new to the HTC scene and rooting HTC phones
Root with Unrevoked. Then run a stock RUU to clear up any problems that may have been left behind. Instructions and links for both can be found on here, just search for them.
Ok so I do this even tho she's been rooted before and has s-off?? And once I flash stock ruin will it have super user permission on it??

Yep you can root unroot and root many times with no side effects
Just follow the steps and you be fine.
I suggest using unrevoked
Sent from my CM7 Supersonic
Or, if it was me, I'd probably ruu the phone then root it from the beginning with the auto root post. That way the slate would be completely clean and wouldn't have any remnants from the previous owner's work on it.

Hey all, new here to posting although use this site alot for the quick fix answers ive had in the past.
How ever decided i would try rooting my desire z as i was looking for that extra control over everything and to loose some of that bloatware just like many of you.
Only thing im having trouble with is actually getting a successful root, im not one to just ask without looking of course but in actual fact ive been at this since 11ish this morning (8hours ago) with no luck. Ive tried about 5 different methods (from xda users such as 'Aegishua' and 'gtrab' guides to a random google searchs also) to no luck at all. Had quite a fair few errors pop up during the process of trying but so far my DZ is still intact and working fine but with S-ON still.
Im not here to ask for someone to explain a fool proof way to root my phone i was just hoping that someone may b able to point me in the right direction of a guide that should hopefully bring some success.
I have an unbranded Desire Z running 2.2.1 (originally 2.2) on Vodafone UK. i could list software details but im hoping someone could either tell me i can't root it since the new security update in 2.2.1 or could pass on a link to a guide that may work for me.
Sorry to sound long winded but its been a day full of "wtf's" amungst other phrases so im just a little lost and confused
Thanks in advance

if you have adb working and are comfortable with it, use the wiki method..
do you know what firmware version you are? if you are 1.72 or above, you need to downgrade to 1.34 before you will be able to root successfully.
Check in dev section, there is something bout debranding and rooting for DZ and shows what newly one has issue, also you could try the xda wiki methond gfreev.05

Before trying to root you need to follow the step above. This is mainly the mistake people make when they try to root the Desire Z if your a new comer, this is words from the wise. Lol
Your firmware is probably 1.85 or something higher than 1.72 by the looks of things which just means you need to downgrade. But the complicated part is actually getting the downgrade to recognize your vodafone branded Desire Z's unique CID. That's where a goldcard comes in handy because it bypasses the CID check.
Anyways, all you need to do is make a goldcard to downgrade. If you get any errors then post the exact errors word for word if possible.
