Possible help for a Wildfire 2.2 root

Hey guys,
As you may well know, the Wildfire isn't the only phone that has been put through "HTC's All Purpose Anti-Hack Machine". The HTC Thunderbolt is massivly locked down as well, however I just read an article that details how to root it already. Now I'm no expert, so hence I'm posting it here so that others can have a look. Is this worth anything?
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: http://www.androidguys.com/2011/03/20/htc-thunderbolt-rooted/
*EDIT*
New article found that doesn't mention emmc - any better?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...bolt-instructions-by-team-andirc-v1-20110318/

htc wildfire has no emmc, so the exploit isnt valid for it

Ok, was just a thought anyway.

i had this idea too, but i decided to ask the ones who developed this exploit, if it could be possible to port it to a wildfire, buth they explained me there was no way, as our phone hasnt eMMC

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...bolt-instructions-by-team-andirc-v1-20110318/
That is very similar to the first article, however it doesn't mention eMMc? Would this help anyone at all?

I doubt
well in my eyes this guide just looks like the downgrading we already are able to do, problem is that it will not touch the Hboot at all... and that's where the main problem is because of the new Nandlock.

The only way is an xtc clip..... I can say it works very good and easy. If someone is interested in an in the Netherlands...

Yes I know all about the clip. I'm just looking into how they rooted the Thunderbolt as it has similar lockdown's on it to the Wildfire.

we all know about the xtc clip, why people keep on spamming about it? theres already a thread all about xtc clip unlocking the NAND!

I am just giving another possibility...........and i can not know what other people know

hey anyone tried this trick on wildfire???

I haven't tried it yet because I can't afford to mess up my wildfire. Also, the misc.img might be specific to the Thunderbolt.

Hmmm u might be right.. I too can't afford to mess up mine...

Can anyone try this out? Or will it just not work at all?

sure
Yeah sure I'll try it out later. And yes the misc.img is specific to the device, as I said before these steps looks a lot like the downgrading process we already have achieved, sadly as I said it doesn't affect the Hboot.

If you try it out make sure to tell us where you end up! Perhaps we can still downgrade the hboot.

We spoked about something similar here. Unfortunately we didn't manage to downgrade.
The method used to root Thunderbolt is similar to the method used to downgrade Desire Z. I think if someone with more knowledge will help we might be able to adapt this methods to wildfire.

Already started looking into a lot of methods which could be possible... looking at exploits for the fs security atm

By "fs" do you mean filesystem? And this method *should* be adaptable I think although don't hold me to that.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire

Yes by fs I mean filesystem. But also known as nand lock

[Q] How to S-OFF 2.30.405.1 (Android 2.3.3 GB)?

Hello,
First off, yes I have searched for my problem and I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I'm getting pretty confused with everything that's going on anyway so I would like to get some answers straight to my problem.
As you can read, I am trying to get S-OFF with a
HTC Incredible S
Android: 2.3.3 (GB)
ROM: 2.30.405.1 CL88716 release-keys (<- Latest OTA Stock ROM)
HBOOT: 1.13 (.0000)
I'd also like to mention that the XTC Method is NOT an option for me.
I have read through some posts about AlphaRevX not getting root (Which is what is happening to me) But they only offer a solution for 2.12, not 2.30. I have tried following this solution anyway, but it says 'Main version is higher' or something like that.
Due to this I do have a goldcard, if this is of any help.
Is there any way for me to downgrade so I can use AlphaRevX, or any other solution to get my S-OFF, so that in the end I can install Clockwork Recovery and root my Incredible S, or do I have to wait for a new exploit?
Thanks,
Shinugen

No known solution at the moment that I've heard about. I think it's a new exploit needed unless someone finds a workaround. Hopefully the AlphaRev guys will find us something for this ROM version soon.

Okay, thanks for the information.

You can also just wait.
Sorry for the double post here, but I thought I'd post my findings for anyone else interested in this matter.
After reading some news from HTC itself (Boredom, yay?) I came across them stating that they've "Listened", and will be bringing out OTA (Over The Air) Firmware upgrades which enable you to unlock the bootloader (Thus effectively setting your phone to S-OFF.)
This will be happening around August / September.
I suppose it's a race against the clock whether XDA is quicker, or HTC.
I'll have my money on XDA. xD

That particular announcement did not include the Incredible S, so it will probably be later than August/September.

It's happening in August/September for the Sensation and eventually the EVO 3D. No announcements on whether this will happen for any other device including the Incredible S. So don't hold your breath on HTC doing it themselves.

As I recall it said the bootloader will be accessable for "all devices getting such updates". You could argue about the meaning of that, though I hope they meant OTA Updates with "such updates", which would mean the HTC Incredible S is included.
Plus, if they do it for the Sensation and EVO 3D, stating "They've listened", why wouldn't they do it for the rest of us?
I suppose you're right though, lets not get our hopes up. That said, it would be nice.

It doesn't work with the 2.30.405.1 stock ROM, this is a well-known issue already.

just a queston,
rooting is not possible yet and we cant downgrade not even with goldcard, so there is absolutly no wey to get cyano? is thet right?

Short answer: Correct.
Long answer:
Rooting is not possible because the newest update has patched the exploit that was used in order to gain root access. Downgrading with a goldcard is not possible due to the Main Version check.
What you'll have to do is wait for people to discover a new exploit for this version, so that we can gain root access (Temporarily) on 2.30.405.1. If that's achieved, we can run the AlphaRevX process (Loosen te NAND lock, get S-OFF).
Once that is done you can go ahead and flash the /system (Custom ROMs) and /recovery (Cyanogen, Clockwork, etc.)
The above might not be 100% accurate but this is how I understand things.
If anyone spots a mistake, please do correct me.

If you find someone with an XTC Clip, then that hardware device can give you full S-OFF on your IncS and then you can root and install CM7.

request to all....

Hey guys, I think we all should request xda and revolutionary and any other developer to s-off
Our salsa...
I don't understand why some phones like our salsa are not present
Every cheap and expensive phones are unlocked....so why not midrange phones ?
Developers should understand us .
Thank you for your precious time to read this....please do write to all developers like xda,revolutionary,alphadev,unrevoked.....

Thing with that is you can get an xtc clip now and get your phone to s-off along with unlocking and rooting, the more pricey phones that are done so quick are based around a different type of phone but with better specs but the salsa is not, it takes time, there is a few people on here that are working on them now, just a game of waiting.

yaa u are right,but xtc clip is very expensive to buy,almost 1/4th cost of mobile,and near my place there are no mobile tech guru's who could unlock my salsa!
so eagerly waiting for unlock tool!!!

dude i paid over £300 for my salsa, the xtc clip is not that expensive, it is not restricted to one phone, if you are that desperate send the phone to me i will s-off, unlock and root and send back, all the while not even charging you, Where else will you get an offer like that but the ball is in your court. Either wait till there is a route to s-off with no clip etc or put in a little faith on another user.

How to move all Android apps to SD card without rooting

Not you sir, those who have not rooted yet
i only wish to know if this works with s on.

No Need to S-OFF using xtc-clip, you can go to htcdev site and unloack your boot loader and then root your device.
It worked for me. My phone still shows its S-on yet rooted. I could move most of the appts to SD, installed a firewall to control my bandwidth, new ROM and many more..

HTC ChaCha roms on Salsa???

Just wondering if the ChaCha roms can run on the Salsa.
Here in Australia we seem to have the Salsa and overseas seems to be the ChaCha? I know there is a lot of "seems"
Could not find anything on it so far.

HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa are different phones, Cha Cha has a hard QWERTY keyboard..i dont know if the ROMS are compatible tho

are they are 2 that's right...just cant seem to find a descent rom that will fix the memory issue.....maybe one that puts the data on sdcard.
actually I cant seem o find any roms.

i have 2 custom Chinese Roms,
1- 2.3.1 has transparent status bar and new icons
2- 2.3.3 standard Chinese 02Uk ROM (more internal memory with this one, but no working market)
3- Completely standard 02Uk ROM
theres a patch called gapps from cyanogen-mods which allows you to flash the Google apps and market on foreign Roms which dont have these installed
as for the data2sd part, thats been worked on by kanded and his friend puppet13th
in this thread here >Data2sd
so theres options out there...but if you can get data2sd working, as i cannot currently. stick with your standard rom.

I'm not familiar with the salsa.
If I unlock hboot via the htcdev site does that avoid having to use the xtclip?

yes but does not s-off the device, only the XTC clip can do that currently.

dont knock the salsa...its quicker than some models out there lol, and its slow progress on the ROM front...but its new...takes time.
if your bro has s-on with bootloader unlocked with cwm installed...brilliant.

[Q] HTC J One HTL22 - is it worth it

Hello XDA,
I realize there is not too much information around about Japanese version of HTC ONE (aka J HTL22). I am wondering should I get the japanese version with osfaiukeitai and microsd slot or normal version. Here are my concers - please let me know if anyone has any clue:
1) Will it be possible to root the HTL22 ? if so, which method works?
2) Will iot be possible to use/install custom ROMs from this forum to HTL22?
3) Will MicroSD and/or osaifukeitai work with a custom ROM? I realize drivers will be needed for that. Is it possible to retreive the drivers from original ROMs and incorporate them into the new Custom ROM?
4) is it true that HTL22 is sold sim-unlocked, as rumor suggest?
any advise and info will be very appreciated!
Thank you

Bump. anyone. pls?

I think you better to consult with Mr.fnoji - you can contact him with Twitter @fnoji.
As far as I know -
1) yes. Use the revone with alternative binary.
2) I doubt it, but, people like tako0920 or fnoji are maintaining their custom roms.
3) J One's custom rom can exploit the unique MicroSD slot, but I don't know if xda's custom rom does have that feature also.
4) No, you should unlock it with fnoji's method.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your reply. Any chance to get URL where HTL22 ROMs made by tako0920 or fnoji can be found? i could not find those on XDA.... woul;d be great to have HTL22 dedicated forum...
Checking twitter meanwhile.
Thanks so much

I'd like as much information as possible as well. I just picked up this phone and would like to know what options are available. Does anyone know if regular HTC One accessories will work for this device?

I think the accessories will work, but it will help if you are more specific about which ones you want to use.
As for root - the only way to root and unlock the phone is to send it to someone who knows how to do it. Root-unlock method is not available publicly.
Althouh it seem like J-version ov Revone will work and unlock the bootloader. It will be easy to sim-unlock the phone once bootloader is unlocked. However, i do not know which command does it. trying to find out now. any help/ideas are welcome.

Yeah, if I fail to find an unlock method for HTC-One online, i think I am going to Galaxy s4 Active-Orange... I know it is not quite water-proof but I like the design very much

hi,
actually, i am still on the stage whether to choose HTC J One or other phones (like Galaxy S4 SC-04E or Xperia).
so, i would like to get your opinion about HTC J One.
right now i am still using Softbank but I am planning to switch to au or docomo by next month.
is it really worth getting the HTC J One? or if you have the chance you're getting a different one like SC-04E or Xperia?
are there any problems like lagging, stuttering, freezing, etc?
at first I plan to use it as it is. simply stock. just to have all the functions/features working.
but I noticed in your signature that you have successfully rooted your device.
i might do the same as well if i'll choose HTC J One...
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have recently bought myself an htc j one and am looking for an easy step by step guide for rooting it and installing a custom rom. Also will I be able to make the handset sim free so that I can use it overseas when travelling? I hope somebody can help me. Thanks.
