Hi All...
Good news...
HTC Team really heard us! HTC Officially release tool to Unlock HBOOT for our Wildfire (for other HTC to). just visit:
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
1.For rooting, first you must flash recovery clockwork
put the recovery image file (recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-buzz.img) at C:\fastboot\
2.Connect your phone at fastboot bootloader, Run command prompt and type:
"\fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-buzz.img"
3.Now flash "super user". enter the clockwork recovery and install from zip file, then select
"Superuser-3.0.6-efgh-signed.zip" you can get from:
"http://goo.im/devs/ChainsDD/Superuser"
4.you are rooted!
i try, and success! :good:
go root!
mm , I dont think this is something new ?
Moreover,I found revolutionary method way more easier and faster, if you read well and can follow simple instructions nothing will go wrong !
Its not new and also it doesnt unlock it completely. You will still have s-on after that.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA
Yes, it is not new.
and i'm also already try the revolutionary method. with my HBOOT 1.01.0002 i must downgrade first using goldcard, then S-OFF with revolutionary alpharevx, then downgrade official RUU android 2.1. after that i root it using unrevoked.
tired to try very nice costume ROM, i just want back to official HTC ROM, but i need it rooted (so i will able to over clock it).
for revolutionary method, i actually not have official froyo rooted, but official eclair rooted (or costume froyo rooted).
so... for me or who that maybe really love the original HTC Sense but need more faster wildfire, i use above method.
but be care full, once you unlock the device using HTC method, you will not able to restore to original RUU directly.
(but we always have a way to back to "home") :fingers-crossed:

Thought you might like to know it's now open, have fun
You're on XDA , welcome back. Great to see the public open beta is out too!
But...! It seems to be only for Hboot 1.x.x users!! If i have bootloader v 0.80.0007, i can't get s-off???
I have some trouble obviously after getting S-off, how do you root then on froyo ?
Unrevoked tells me firmware could be too new... I'll go through their FAQ perhaps some answers are there xD
S-off Process is flawless
You guys Rock !! Thanks !
great great news!
2morrow morning i will s-off my gf's wildfire!
can anyone post the step one by one? cz i dont really get. After i opened the alpharevx -> put the code-> Acquiring root (method 1) ...... unknown command
Then nothing
IT WORKEDDDDDD!!!! thanks to alphareev team
Why it not compatible with HBOOT 0.80xx ?

0.80 was not the problem ,we had root or close
Anyway its worth updating your hboot with an official froyo (now)
i like the orange text and my new ability to flash a screen
thanks to alpha
Hi, how long will this public beta be?
Could use at step by step instruction?
I boot into HBOOT and run alpharevx.exe, a command prompt opens telling it's "Waiting for device"??
About a week ago I tried running Unrevoked, which ended up with the known error about hardware being to new - so I'm sure I have the correct HBOOT usb-driver.
I'm on 64-bit Windows at the moment - could it be that??
Please, anyone advice??
EDIT:
This was a question from a newbie early in the morning :d - Solved!
The utility should be run with Android loaded, not i HBOOT mode, and it helps enabling USB-debugging
After getting S-OFF I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
Finally I flashed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957140
I feel pretty fine right now
Alpharev team promised at begining S-OFF for hboot 0.80.. Why they have not released it?
Some Questions to those who know.
I'm currently on HBOOT 0.80.XX having Rooted Hybrid Rom V6.
1. Do I need to update to HBOOT 1.00X to be able to use Alpharev X - if not - which option should I choose in dropdown menu on Alpharev X Beta page..? As it only shows two options - both being 1.00X
2. Do I need to Re-Root after alpharev X - or will my previous root stay (if I can use it without updating to HBOOT 1.00X)
3. Again - Do I need to Re-Flash Rom after alpharev X - or will my previous rom stay (if I can use it without updating to HBOOT 1.00X) *prays*
4. Can I use a (Fastboot) Clockworkmod that still uses Amend - rather than edify? Or is there one that can support both? As I quite dislike edify.
5. Will my old Clockworkmod be overwritten? (2.5.0.7)
I posted these questions in a few places as I haven't the faintest clue - which one is the right place to post them in...apologies for that.

So you're telling me to update my phone with the last ruu, this will update my hboot as well, then i use the alpharev tool and then i root again?
0.80 still does not have S-OFF so this is a problem!
Hello,
Here is a short Guide to get S-OFF if you are at HBOOT 0.80:
1. Make a full Backup of your current ROM.
2. Download RUU Buzz Froyo HTC WWE 2.22.405.1 Radio 13.55.55.24H 3.35.20.10 release 160191 signed.exe
3. Connect your Plhone to your PC and Install it, after 10 minutes you are on HBOOT 1.01.0001
4. Download Alpharev follow the instructions and install.
Now you are S-OFF!´
You ony have to Restore your ROM and enjoy!
Sorry for my bad English.
1. not sure, but i did and it worked, i used
RUU_Buzz_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_22_405_1_Radio_13_55_55_2 4H_3_35_20_10_release_160191_signed.exe
from
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?ca...ile&model=Buzz
2.yes, follow this to get clockworkmod installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
ur phone needs to be in hboot 4 this to work
3. as far as i can tell not by defoult, but u installed ruu so yes
4. not sure, but i think there shouldnt be a broblem
5. if u run ruu, yes, hence fastboot method
i did a nand backup, installed ruu, ran alpharev, fastbot flash recovery, restoring nand backup as i type, and thats it.
another thing i was careful about is after nand backup, i switched to original sd card, so the ruu wouldnt put sense and other stuff on my primary sd. i switched back after flashing recovery. gl
Thank you!
I keep trying to enter my beta key and it says the key is invalid :S:S
Hmm I just flashed my phone with the new Hboot, ran alpharev and installed clockwork.
It worked perfectly, so maby you are somehow entering the wrong code...
Anyways It worked like a charm for me

Ok, so i have the Incredible S. I Unlocked its bootloader using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105 but i had to relock it to send it for warranty. When i get it back, i will unlock it again, nut because the phone was on hboot 1.16, i had to flash the boot.img each time i installed a new rom. But, if i use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373697 (which, by the wayy, is how i put my phone's bootloader to stock) will i be able to use the CWM app to install/update roms?
If not, is there a better way to root the phone?
Also, could anyone explain how custom radios and kernels are better than stock?
Thanks

Yes if you use the downgrade tool to get hboot 1.13 and use Revolutionary to S-Off then you will be able to use CWM to flash custom ROMs.
There is no such thing as a custom radio, but each time HTC upgrades a ROM, the RUU may contain a new radio which has improvements.

Yes.......
I am trying to work out whether to OTA update to ICS or go S-OFF, unlock and load a custom ROM.
I'm currently running locked BL, S-ON, Stock 2.3.5 (Sense 3.0) ROM.
I have read up on downgrading HBOOT to get S-OFF via revolutionary but I got HBOOT 2.01.0001 and haven't been able to find any thread saying whether tacoexploit works. I know if I OTA upgrade to ICS, and HBOOT 2.02.0000, I will only be able to unlock BL via HTCDEV and will not able to get full S-OFF until someone comes up with a method.
I have unlocked and flashed custom recovery/ROMs/Radios etc. on ZTE Blade, ZTE Skate, Motorola Atrix and HTC Desire (damn, I love 4Ext) without any problems but still consider myself a noob because, well you know, if you don't build your own ROMs...
I still have about a year or so on the warranty and custom ROMs always seem to have some kind of problem. So I just can't make my mind up as to what would be the right move.
Please, any info, suggestions or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, that is my fear, it may be a long time before an exploit is found for the latest HBOOT. I also figure that there will never be an official JB ROM update from HTC for the beloved Inc S. While I have maintain my warranty for as long as I have, it does feel like the right time to fully unlock. My Inc S has never given me any trouble at all, so I'm not worried about losing the warranty. I just love the phone and want to keep it working well for as long a possible. ROM-wise, I think ARHD looks stock enough to be super stable and tweaked enough to be nice and slick.

I just bought a HTC Vivid, and before I start rooting and doing all that stuff, I'd like to know if anyone has a 2.3.4 stock rom. I want this because if I brick it then I will be able to flash it back, and I can't seem to find one. I've been searching all over, so if anyone has a stock rom it would be very helpful!
Thank you
I hope this is the right category, just registered
Just use this...if your bricked you won't be able to use recovery to flash a Rom...here is a ruu...its not gingerbread but it will bring you to official ics stock...http://dl3.htc.com/application/htc_vivid_att_RUU_3.26.502.56_US.exe

Okay, good. Thanks. Sorry, first time rooting
Which also means that it'll flash the stock kernel, ROM, and wipe your entire phone. Remember to relock the bootloader before running the RUU if it's unlocked.

How would I go about unlocking/locking it back up? I'm not quite sure what to do, I don't have the phone just yet, but its in the mail. I'll most likely need help rooting it when I get it..

Getting your phone flashed to the ICS RUU will help you later when flashing custom roms (as I believe all of them are ICS-based)
The Superguide sticky thread in development can help you with the Bootloader Unlock procedure and many other things like rooting and prepping your phone for the S-OFF procedure (if you want to S-OFF your phone). Link below.
Unlocking the bootloader gives you permission to flash to partitions like your recovery partition (so you can flash custom recovery like clockworkmod etc.)
Once your bootloader is unlocked, RUU's will refuse to flash to your phone until you re-lock the bootloader. To relock your bootloader, power up the phone into HBOOT/Bootloader mode, choose Fastboot, then in a command prompt, run the command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
To confirm it worked, next time you power up the phone into HBOOT/Bootloader mode, you should see at the top of the screen **RELOCKED**
Then you will be able to flash an RUU via your computer (while having your phone in fastboot mode)
When you get to the S-OFF portion of the superguide:
If you DO want to S-OFF your phone, follow that section of the superguide EXACTLY. It has important steps for prepping your phone for the S-OFF procedure.
If you do NOT want to S-OFF your phone, note that whenever you flash custom ROMS, the kernel partition must be flashed manually via fastboot (either before or after flashing the rom - I don't think it matters if it is before or after - anyone know this for sure?). I think every ROM includes the kernel (boot.img) file inside the zip so you can copy it to the same folder that has your fastboot.exe so you can run:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Here is the superguide link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
Or use the toolkit...its easy and walks you through the steps of unlocking bootloader and rooting...it also has a relock bootloader option so you can relock it in a click of a button...
If your gonna use the ruu...use it before you even root/unlock.the bootloader...that way you won't have to relock it

Wow! Thank you both for your information. I'm sure that they will both help me out greatly when it comes down to rooting.
I am running 2.3.4 on my phone and looking to update next week when I get my new battery. Did you have any issues with your update? Are you running ICS now? Any advice?
Follow the user guides. It's not hard or long just make sure you read the guides so you can update the bootloader properly.
its impossible to get ahold of the RUU's for the vivid, i need the stock Bell one, seeing that i have a Virgin Mobile SIM, I'm still on GB and i want to update to ICS. already going through the process of returning to S-ON

Perhaps a new question thread is more appropriate for your issue. I recommend you do that and describe this boot loop in more detail. Also, I remember there being a thread re: s-off unsuccesful doesnt mean phone is bricked.

Hello everybody,
I was quite happy with my Incredible S until I updated it via OTA to ICS 4.0.4 + Sense 3.6...
Before that, I had been using it with Gingerbread 2.3.3 (or 2.3.5 ?!?) and Sense 2.1 and it was pretty good! I mean.. it did its job without significant problems..
Last week I decided to do ALL the updates in a rush and now it's laggy and slow...What drives me crazy is when I type some text (text messages, whatsapp, browser web, etc.): the touchInput seems not to be as responsive as it was once.. and it is frustrating!
I read a lot about this topic and I discovered that it's a common problem.
I tried to install other keyboards, other messaging apps, I made a factory reset, but nothing helped!
Now I'd really like to downgrade it to Gingerbread + a lighter Sense because I think that Sense 3.6 is too much heavy for this stupid phone.
Since I was (indeed I currently am) a complete noob about mobile systems I need help from you!
My idea is to install a stock rom and not a custom rom because every custom rom have some drawbacks or flaws.. while the stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 was flawless (I swear!).
I read that it's not possible to install an older version of Android via RUU.. is it right?
Is it possible to do something without rooting / s-offing the phone? (I'm not sure about s-off = having root priviledges...)
I read all the threads but I didn't find a clear answer to my problem.. please help!
Thank you guys!
p.s. I'm quite sure that android gb 2.3.3 came with sense 2.1 while gb 2.3.5 came with sense 3.0
Sadly you can't downgrade with an RUU - that would be sweet. Since you are on ICS, i'd assume your hboot version is 2.00+. I'm not sure if you can downgrade that, but take a look around. Essentially, you'd want to install CWM recovery, and install this GB 2.3.5 rom with sense 3. Note, there are no radios, you will have to flash those as well. Unfortunately, this is the only way to downgrade. Also, you will need S-off.

You will have to unlock the bootloader using the procedure at HTCDEV.com. After that, you can use an unsecured boot.img to boot your phone and then modify the phone's version-main so that you can then flash the older GB 2.3.3/Sense 2.1 RUU.

Its as simple as that? unlock through htcdev and flash on older RUU? That would also work with a phone unlocked with an xtc clip right?

No, you misread the post.
1. Unlock the bootloader using HTCDEV.com
2. Boot your phone using an unsecured boot.img
3. Modify the version-main value.
4. Flash a RUU.
If you have a IncS that has S-OFF via XTC Clip, then you can simply modify the version-main value and then flash a RUU.

No, you misread the post.
1. Unlock the bootloader using HTCDEV.com
2. Boot your phone using an unsecured boot.img
3. Modify the version-main value.
4. Flash a RUU.

Gotcha, good to know, thanks!
well.. thank you for showing interest in my thread.
I understand that is not possible to downgrade without at least unlocking the bootloader..
so.. flashing a RUU is the same as flashing a custom rom?
After unlocking the bootloader I have to:
- flash a custom recovery
- flash a RUU/custom rom?
mmm.. is it really possible to install an older version of android while keeping the hboot at version 2.02 (like mine)?
I don't understand what is an "unsecured boot.img" and what "Modify the version-main value" means..
thank you again

Look at the Downgrade script sticky post and then download the Downgrade Kit zip file and take a look at it.
The script file has all of the functions you need. One the script is done, you should be able to run the RUU.
U have to relock the bootloader then run the ruu file (the one u choose) while the phone is in fastboot mode

Yes it is. You can use the downgrade script to reset your version-main so that you can flash the 2.3.3 RUU.
