[GUIDE] One Click How to Root the Wildfire with Unrevoked 3.21

Note: It does not work on 2.2.1 Wildfire's (i.e. - Any bought after Feb - March 2011)
I first want to thank everyone at UnrEVOked for what they've done. I'm posting this because there aren't any really detailed instructions. Its an easy enough root, but I know I've been there before and even the simplest things can be tough if things aren't laid out. So here's a step by step tutorial.
Due to some bugs, Unrevoked 3.2 was taken down shortly after being released, but the updated version is now LIVE! So obviously we're going to bring you a video tutorial on how to do it! Thanks to the guys at Unrevoked for giving us this simple solution to rooting the HTC Buzz (Wildfire).
LINK TO VIDEO WALKTHROUGH FOR HOW TO ROOT THE WILDFIRE
◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►
EVERYONE: Unrevoked3. Download the version for your OS.
WINDOWS USERS: unrEVOked modified USB driver
◄●How to Install HBOOT Drivers (Windows Users ONLY)●►
If you're using Windows, you're going to have to install the HBOOT drivers first. You can follow this video tutorial:
How to Install HBOOT Drivers
and follow along with these written instructions provided by the Unrevoked team:
Download the unrEVOked modified USB driver and expand it somewhere you will remember.
Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.
On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.
Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen.
Open Device Manager.
Click Start, then right click on Computer, then click Properties, then click Device Manager.
Under Other devices, you should now see the Android 1.0 device.
Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software:
Click on Browse my computer for driver software.
Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder on on your computer, click ok, then click next.
You should get a status bar indicating that the driver is installing. If you get any warnings, just click Ok.
Your driver should install.
Click Close and make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone.
◄●Instructions●►
Make sure you downloaded Unrevoked3 for your OS.
If you're on Windows, make sure you "uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). They will cause problems" (Unrevoked.com).
Plug your phone into your computer with USB.
Drag down from the notification bar on your phone and select "Charge Only" and "Remember this"
Make sure your phone has USB Debugging turned on by going to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development and checking USB debugging.
Run the Reflash application that you downloaded.
Unrevoked will run its processes. Follow the few instructions it gives and thats it!
You're now rooted!
EDIT: If that doesn't work for you, follow these instructions:

Got my wildFire Rooted!
Most ways here didn't work to get it going, but here is how i got it working:
01. Installed HTC Synch
02. Ran HTC Synch with WildFire Connected
03. Closed HTC Synch
04. Downloaded Unrevoked 3 and ran it
05. Let it do the whole process (it did everything by itself (rebooting the wildfire in hboot mode etc...)
05. Installed HBOOT USB Drivers when it asked for it
06. At some stage it says something like rooting ... safe to restart if it doesn't work, it stays on that screen, close unrevoked3
07. Disconnected WildFire
08. Uninstalled HTC Synch (only the program, not the drivers)
09. Connected Wildfire to PC
10. Ran UNREVOKED3 again
11. HTC Wildfire is rooted now

Try installing HTC Sync and then uninstalling it. Then run unrevoked.

It's Done

Hi EveryOne!
I have some problems, with launching unrevoked 3 reflash_package.exe.
I did the USB driver setup, and it works.
I turned on the phone, USB debugging is allowed, just charging, no HTC sync on Laptop (win7 32bit), connect the phone via USB, launching reflash, it says: waiting for device... after 10 minutes, it is the same...
What should i do?
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem (Win7 x64), and i dont know to fix it, so I have been searching for a response to this, but nothing...
At the end, I have done it with a special UBuntu Live CD
search in xda: Ubuntu LiveCD with ADB and Unrevoked Recovery installer(Guide)
No problems in this way, when you plug in the phone

Hm... Very exciteing...
I did the same steps in my PC, and it worked.
Thanks a lot

The OS on my PC is W7 x86 and not possible to use Unrevoked 3.21 to root my Buzz.
I did it also with a special UBuntu Live CD : Ubuntu LiveCD with ADB and Unrevoked Recovery installer(Guide)
Is it possible to mention this methode also in the 1 post for W7 users

i use w7 x86 and it work fine

Hi,
I had the same problem. Solved by uninstallation of all htc related drivers (don't forget to show nonpresent devices) and installation of Android Bootloader Interface from original Android SDK. Running Win7 64-bit. Then unrevoked 3.21 succesfully installed.

On my laptop, there was no htc sync at all. On my PC, i did the uninstall, and it worked. Maybe that was the thing why it worked on PC.

[Q] Htc Vivid Rooting help >.>

Okay, so heres my problem. I got this phone from a friend that he had rooted and had worked, and he wound up reseting it and such before handing it over too me. Im no noob on the rooting and even on installing custom roms.
The phone does not recongnize on my computer in hboot.
Now ive done my research and i know its not supported in windows 8 for the drivers, and the only other computer i have would be a windows xp (which gave the same results)
Anyways, my friend no longer has the computer he used to root the phone, and im stuck with no wifi and no service(was just going to use it as a game tablet like phone. which i was using with my samsung galaxy s2 skyrocket before that died.)
I do have drivers installed, ive tried multiple ways to try and create the adb stuff so i can do this but it always gets stuck on waiting for devices.
So i guess what im asking is, am i SOL or is there a work around on windows 8 to get this up and working. im willing to try any and every suggestion, even if it means i have to go and get a "copy" of windows 7 or if there is a way to get it to work on win xp that would be even better.

See thats my problem though, i cant even bring up adb to recongnize the phone. I have the unlocked status on the hboot page, but i cant simply make my computer recongnize the phone when its in hboot mode. Ive tried every single forum that search will bring up about fixing the issue, and most have simply put that its not supported by windows 8 (at sometime during the post, not in initial posts) My main problem is, i use the phone without a connection to a cellular tower, only through wifi, but without being able to boot img file of what ever rom i put on, the wifi wont work.
I cant restore to stock via the same problem being, the hboot or fastboot part, will not recognize on my windows 8 computer.

I have a better solution for you (IMO)
Download ubuntu .iso from the ubuntu website.
burn the .iso to a disk.
set your machine to boot from cd before booting from HDD (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130425190900AADNjgh)
now, when you boot, it should take you into ubuntu. On the screen that pops up, select english, and then "Try Ubuntu" or whatever the equivalent is.
now, set up adb and fastboot for ubuntu using any method you like ere is a link to a guide: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/08/install-adb-and-fastboot-android-tools.html don't worry, it works on 13.04 or any other new version of Ubuntu.
Your ADB and Fastboot should work in any terminal window now. If you get an error like "insufficient permisions for device" then read on below:
Normally, you would type "adb devices"
instead, now type "sudo adb devices"
the terminal window will prompt you for a admin pass. Use the pass you used when setting up the trial. if you didn't use a pass, just press enter. for all your following adb or fstboot commands, use "sudo adb..." or "sudo fastboot..."
If this helped you, Thank me

[Q] Android 4.2.2 from Giveen - can't install

Hello,
I am sorry that I have to write hear but I can't write in development :/
I wanted to update to Android 4.2.2 (recently I have CM 10.1 beta 2) so I paid and download and ... when I run install batch. I receive:
"Nvflash started
USB device not found"
I supposed it is driver issue. I checked in Device Manager and I found Dell Android ADB Interface, I found on this forum that it should be named nVidia. But there is no such driver in a package. What to do? Help please
I checked on second computer and I have the same. I am using Windows x64 on both machines.
best regards

I'm on W7 64 bit. That should work for you now but drivers can be a PITA. Delete that driver, reboot and reinstall. If that doesn't work download the NVflash file again.

He didn't put the device in APX mode.
The fact that it see's Dell ADB says he is in typical Android mode.

Since I seldom flash my DS7, I forget! I'm so use to using my N10 now although I use the DS7 daily. What mode was he in then?
I've noticed different names in my device manager after connecting my N10 and once in a while the DS7. The name Android Bootoader or something like that comes up. Still works just different name.

hey guys..does anyone know if the jb 4.2.2 rom developped by ccxxx works/will work with the t-mobile ds7 (4G)??
i'm just curious as it appears from the postings in the ds7 android development page that they're talking about the wifi only version of the ds7..
can anyone comment/confirm this??

The one he built is no different than mine. He just copied my work. Its wifi-only.

well giveen,
i guess with all the talk/chatter none of these other cats has/will develop a jb 4.2.2 rom for the ds7 t-mobile 3G/4G edition.
i know that you were well on your way to doing just that..having separate roms for the wifi only and the 3G/4G versions of this device..
since ccxxx jb 4.2.2 rom for the ds7 is just a copy of your work..well why should i bother installing it?
i think that ccxxxx and those other cats could really be really helpful in getting jb 4.2.2 to work with the t-mobile 3G/4G version of ds7 and not just put a refresh or a new coat of paint on all the hard work you almost single handedly and painstakingly put in..
you are a good man giveen..keep plugging on dude!!!

Nope, I'm done.
I'm being a greedy bastard and with 2078 (and going) downloads and not a single donation, I don't care anymore.
I tried to sell it to motivate myself to continue but apparently its against the rules of XDA.
School keeps me busy these days plus getting more involved with information security people.

so the question is..
will anyone else besides giveen attempt to do a jb 4.2.2 rom for the ds7 t-mobile/4G?
i'm willing to give my support or two cents in helping with this build..
i know that there are modified rom or two out there using android hc 3.2 by dj steeve and the manii that work on the 4G ds7..
it'll probably take some effort but maybe it can be done..
will somebody really give it a shot of getting android jb 4.2.2 running on the 4G ds7??
i'd love to see this rom come to life..

Help dell streak camera
Hello I installed ANDROID 4.2.2 on my DELL STREAK 7 I have the camera and the photo does not work someone t there a patch that can allow me to make the camera work or if there is a possibility of return to a previous version or I can use the camera because I really need in my work

any KitKat for DS7 3/4G?
now that android 4.4 KitKat can run on older devices 512MB RAM, will anybody attempt doing any work on the 3/4G version of the ds7?
i know devs like the manii, giveen, DJ Steve have all done great work in the past with some awesome ROMS but the 3/4G version never seemed to get it going. i hope that it gets done now that KItKat is available.

I've hadn't been able to get a hold of DerArtem for months now, as he is the developer for the RIL.
I do intend on doing KitKat, hopefully in a month or so.

sorry
I'm sorry to see you leave @giveen. I currently have a 3G (i noticed you don't) version of DS7 and i wanted to use your CM10.1.
However, whenever i download (tried on 3 different providers on some of my servers) the archive seems to be corrupted. Also, not seeing any instructions doesnt really help me. Can you send me a pm with your link and instructions ?
Thanks.

ADB and Sideloading 18.11

I'm really struggling here, I followed all the steps but still can't get adb to work.

Can you be more specific? What exactly isn't working? What OS are you running? Have you enabled debugging in your Glass settings?

Sorry yes,
I connect Glass to my Windows 7 machine via original cable, with USB debug enabled, I go to CMD type in ADB Devices and morning gets listed.
If I plug in my S4 using the same port and cable the S4 shows up under ADB.
I have tried using the standard drivers and the modified version but both give me the same result.

Yes sorry,
I plug in Glass using original cable with USB debug enabled. CMD to directory and type in Adb Device and nothing shows up. If I plug in my S4 and do the same or shows that up. I have tried the modified drivers and the original drivers but no luck.
Would it make a difference it being a UK Glass? Can't see there being a different firmware build for it?

The only alternate builds I know of are the "try before you buy" models which only allow charging via USB. But the UK version shouldn't be any different from the US version to my knowledge. Perhaps try with an Ubuntu live CD or something, Windows is certainly not my area of expertise.

Got it working but only on the other halfs Win8 laptop, wonder how long it will be until she gets fed up with me borrowing it lol

Cheers for the kink and info but still no luck

Just reporting my experience here. Recently got hands on the GLASS and for the longest time couldn't get the adb driver working.
Then finally followed the modified android_winusb.inf trick with the following:
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001&REV_0216&MI_01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_9001&MI_01
Problem was, the hardware IDs seen by my working computer is somehow wrong, plugged into a different laptop somehow brings up a different hardware ID, which shows up that extra MI_01 in both places (and works for both computer)

Help on htc one (M7)(GSM) revive from hard bricked state

my htc one (M7) (GSM) got hard bricked on its own (i never rooted it or anything), it shows up as QHSUSBDLOAD or something in the device manager in windows 8.1

I am a total noob and i know nothing about rooting or flashing roms or anything for that matter (i just think my phone is hard bricked because someone told me if it comes up as QHSUSBDLOAD in the dev manager, it means it is hard bricked). There is no response if i hold the power button, or the power and volume buttons under a bright light or not under a bright light, i tried charging it continuously for 5 days, nothing happened, LED is not flashing. Only when i connect it to windows via a usb cable, it recognised it as an unknown device, when i updated the driver, it showed QHSUSBDLOAD.

worked for many people. i'm a noob so can anyone please elaborate and give me a full detailed process on how to go about it. Again, i never ever rooted my phone.
And its out of the warranty period, and i dont really know what a jtag box is, but i heard it involves opening up your phone, and i really dont wanna do that. But, if theres a method of using jtag via a usb cable and reviving my phone without opening it up, then plz tell me that too.

First line of the guide:
This will fix devices which were bricked due to firmware incompatibility. This can be caused with the way HTC handles the firmware updates in it's m7's OTAs. If you've been flashing from a 3.x firmware to a 5.x firmware via OTA, or manually, you most likely have a device stuck in QHSUSB_DLOAD. This tool is for you

Device entering QHSUSB DLOAD mode by themselves are usually devices with hardware problem and this guide won't fix anything. You'll probably have to replace the motherboard of your phone. You should however give this guide a try just to confirm its indeed an hardware problem. Just follow steps by steps and ask questions when you are stuck.

thanks for the reply.
First of all, i don't know what all this is:
the appropriate package for the device
fastboot
distro utils: md5sum, strings, tail, grep, unzip ( all included in most linux distros)
some basic linux experience
root access on a linux machine
I've never touched Linux EVER. Only thing i know is that it's an operating system.
IF you have the time, can u please tell me:
1) ''which version'' of Linux i should install (is it 64 bit and 32 bit too?)
2) from where should i install it
3) how should i install it
4) what Ubuntu is. is it some form of linux. Can it be used in this case? If yes, then how?
5) what fastboot, distro utils, root access on linux means.
6) can linux be installed side by side on my windows pc along with the windows i already have? then how?
7) what all this means-
Boot the linux box and download the appropriate package for the device.
Remove the sim card from the phone. Do not connect yet
Extract the package in your working directory
Open up a terminal and cd to that directory
Run revive.sh as root and connect the device
Code:
sudo ./revive.sh
( i mean, i know how to remove the sim card, but whats a linux box?, how do you extract the package?, how to open u a terminal, what is a terminal?, how to open up a cd to that directory, which cd? how to "run revive .sh as root", what the code sudo ./revive.sh means and how and where do i use it?)
Thank You.
BTW, is there any way to tell for sure whether my problem is in the hardware or in the software?
