Spent almost 6 hours yesterday trying to figure out how to root the htc wilfire (Bee), but was unable to because alltel out dumbed me by branding their phone. Any known workarounds?
Super one click 1.5.5 seems to give a root. I havent been able to get a recovery flashed yet though.
HTC BEE? Lolwut.

Bee = Buzz / Wildfire for Verizon
http://news.softpedia.com/news/HTC-Bee-En-Route-to-Verizon-Leaked-ROM-Emerges-160263.shtml
I have the HTC Bee(Wildfire) for Bluegrass Cellular. When trying unrevoked it says device "bee" not supported. I did use super one click and got it to root and install superuser. I mainly want root for wifi tether which seems to work, but I would like to install custom roms like I do on my Evo (Evo is personal phone, Wildfire is work phone). The Clockwork mod says it flashed, but when rebooting into recovery its the standard useless recovery. I also tried to install a VPN app requiring root and it says Busybox missing, root access denied even though when it prompted for superuser access I hit allow. So I think Super One Click is semi rooting the devices but not completely. I tried to unroot and it hangs on Removing Superuser.apk. I want to start fresh with it and do the Shell Root instead of the other root via S.O.C. Anyone else had any luck with the "Bee" Wildfires?

Some devices have a NAND lock. SuperOneClick will only give a Shell root until you remove this lock.
The following phones can use http://unrevoked.com to remove this lock:
* Sprint EVO 4G (HTC Supersonic)
* Droid Incredible (HTC Incredible)
* HTC Desire GSM
* HTC Desire CDMA (HTC BravoC)
* HTC Aria
* Droid Eris (HTC DesireC)
* HTC Wildfire (HTC Buzz)

It appears as though this NAND lock also applies to the Alltel HTC Wildfire (HTC Bee) . Unfortunately, unrevoked does not yet run on the Bee.
Get me a rom update utility. I can get us a permanant root. I'm just slightly scared of not being able to boot my phone, and would like a way to reverse it. Current version is 1.07.671.2.
Thanks!
I was able to root my htc wildfire "bee" phone from alltel using the z4 root by ryanza. Seems to be the only rooting that works. Ive been unable to find any custom roms for it though, or if theres any roms that work for it at all.

I have both an HTC Wildfire and a HTC Desire. I rooted and ROM'ed the Desire no problem. My wifes wildfire is a "bee". I used SuperOneClick and it says it is rooted but i cant boot into ClockworkMod Recovery. It just boots into the regular recovery. Anyone know a way to get this to work?
To root my buzz i used unrevoked and it flashs clockworkmod recovery automatily .
Excuse cor my bad english
Unrevoked does not support "bee" device. Anything anyone else wants to add?

Hi try to root my htc bee and I'm like a brick indicates that the only way to get serious with a GoldCard but I can not have access to create it. I say it is possible to obtain GoldCard other similar equipment but no one has this model here. Someone could give their goldcrad to get my htc bee. Please Please sorry for my English
I heard an app called Z4root is able to root the "bee", but I'm not sure.

I unable to root my "BEE" with unrevoked. How did you do it? Any RUU available for the Bee? Thank you so much!
you could try to see if htcdev supports the bee, if it does then you would be able to permroot, recovery, roms the lot

I'm not really sure he could get a recovery and ROMs, since you can't use buzz stuff on the bee.

So there is no available RUU or methods to root the Bee as of this time ?
I'm managed to root my phone using advice from here so I thought I share the links I used in case it helps others
I had 0.09.0000 Hboot which meant I couldn't use the HTC unlocker.
Nith2's post in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437545
updated HBoot
then HTC's unlocker worked
Then I used this thread

to gain root.
HTC Supertool reported that my phone was rooted but it wasn't.
So I downloaded Superuser and BusyBox from the market, rebooted and lo, my phone was rooted.
Hi their all, im struggling to, root my mobile.
I did a root ages ago and i got a popup notification saying ROOTED in red letters, so i thought my mobile was rooted.
Anyway, i recently bought and recieved an XTC clip, which i bought to make my mobile s-off and unlock it
I thought this also rooted the devide which i dont think they do unless im missing things.
anyway, i downloaded the root check basic, and it says:
sorry, this device does not have proper root access
can anybody help, i know my device is s-off now
XTC Clip will S-OFF your device, which basically means you have full write access to all the partitions (boot, system, radio, recovery etc).
But as you have discovered, it doesn't root your device for you. Rooting is a separate step which gives you access to the "root" user (aka superuser/administrator).
All you need to do now is to use one of the rooting methods, and that will give you permanent (i.e. it stays after a reboot) root. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18897122 for how to do it.

I used the advice in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1432074
but found I had to download Superuser and BusyBox from the market and reboot the phone before it worked.
Good luck
hey guys just picked up a new htc one and noticed it was on 4.2 than i updated to 4.3 ( dumb dumb dumb) came here to see about rooting/s off methods......noticed there was none... my question is does anyone know if rumrunner will be updated to work with the verizon htc one 4.3. also i saw the firewater method but only has the temp root method... well thanks guys for any input.....
Firewater works fine on 4.3. The temp root is just for using the exploit. Once the exploit is done you are bootloader unlocked and s-off. From there you flash a recovery, then superuser to get full root.
thanks dude. everything went smooth.................................
