how to S-ON HTC wildfire after revolutionary!

HI everyone. i have started this thread as i didnt know what to do when i first had to send my wildfire back for repairs. first download the attatched zip. unzip to desktop and make sure u have got the drivers for your bootloader interface already installed. to do this you will need just two things. the zip you have just downloaded and the HBOOT which i included inside the ziped file. once extracted run the java file named S-ON.jar and plug your phone in and turn on fastboot. once connected make sure you click on check connection. once you have done that you should see your serial number appear. okay your ready to go. look for the first tab and click on it. then click on HBOOT/SPL. locate the HBOOT file you inzipped with the S-ON tool and then click it. once done just click on flash HBOOT/SPL. once done you will see it says FLASH HBOOT/SPL/SUCCESS. thanks for takuing time to look at my GUIDE and i hope it helps you. just remember one thing only flash the new HBOOT after you have installed the RUU which is android 2.1 update 1 so you can root again.

thanks for posting this, gonna try it now since I have to send my wildfire in for repair..

no problem if you have any trouble let me know and ill help you gain s-on

Hmm well it didn't work, so just sent it in as it was. I replaced the custom recovery and the custom rom with stock from an RUU, I hope thats enough.
To gain S-ON I also tried the suggestions from a few other posts, I guess the problem is that I didn't gain S-OFF by software but by using an XTC-Clip. The fastboot command to flash the hboot always returned something like remotly denied or simular

this will not work with xtc clip i have 1 other way tho. please try this.
go into you start menu click RUN the type cmd in the dialog box. when you have the cmd up type C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30 then it will say okay. then open the s-on tool then try to flash the HBOOT. let me know if you have anymore problems. but this way shud work for you
they will not accept it as they just have to go into the HBOOT menu and they will be able to see it is s-off. and they will send it back as it is and wont carrie out any sort of repairs on it as you have hacked the phone and comprimised the security software

hmm, well we will see. I will post as soon as I get an response. That command "fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30" always threw an error and somewhere I read that maximum 3 parameters are allowed

okay no worries. if they wont repair it. then get back to me and ill cook somthing up and get you back to s-on. this is the trouble when gaining s-off with a xtc clip. its a pain to get back to s-on again lol but good luck anyways

Thanks for the moral support, I hope they will repair it...
Well back then I had no chance, my Wildfire was delivered to me with hboot 1.01.001 back in the time where there was no software S-OFF method for 1.01.001 and up, so I found myself a shop that had an XTC-Clip and invested 10€ on him

Okey! So they repaired it although it had S-OFF done by XTC-Clip. Got it back yesterday, and the phone earpeace is working again

Great news for you mate im glad they sorted it out for you. and your very lucky as they sent mine back twice for being s-off lol.

lol, where are you from? and where did they send your device? Im from austria and they sent my device to slovakia and they gave me a slovenian report of what they did so I had to use google translate to understand it

[Q] I Unlocked Bootloader Using Official HTC Tool - Now What?

Ok so I unlocked with the Official HTC Bootloader unlock tool. I have been trying to find the answer to my question of what else needs to be done before I can Rom the thing. I have been reading and everyone just seems to be arguing whether or not you need S-OFF in order to put a rom on the phone.
So please... Someone give me a straight answer. What else Do i need to do before I can load a custom rom on the phone. I went through tall of the official unlock stuff and its unlocked. Now what?!?!

First you need CWM. Then just flash the zip of your ROM
Swyped from my HTC Sensation

Thanks man for the response. Thats what i thought needed to happen but wasnt sure. Off to rom I go!

Still having trouble
Well i went to the dev section and tried to follow the steps to installing CWM and I'm getting an error. Im thinking I might need to do the HBOOT steps too. Im going to try that next. I just dont want to break my 3 day old phone.... ya know.

You can't install CWM or any other ROM if you enabled s-off with the HTC dev tool. You can only do it if you use revolutionary.

With the Sensation this is no reason not to use revolutionary and get true S-OFF.
But if you want to continue down the HTC Unlocked path, you may want to visit the Evo 3G forum. There are some excellent threads and discussion on how to get into ClockworkMod using the HBOOT method. For some of the folks over in Evo 3G land, the latest HBOOT that was released for their HTC Unlock OTA has rendered Revolutionary useless because it disabled the root exploit, so they have no choice.
But if I were you, go with Revolutionary for permanent S-OFF/Nand unlock.

NOO!! Rooted my device, tried to install latest firmware- wasnt successful- htc B.L.

i rooted my device not too long ago with revolutionary.. Everything was successful..
When i got the phone i had the hboot 1.1800
well i went to try a rom.. ICS..
Told me i had to get the latest firmware, well i places the file on my sd card and went into hboot..
it was doing the update but said incorrect CID and now when i reboot, i get the boot loop on the htc screen..
i have a sd card reader, so i can put it in my computer.. so i tried to put back the original img.zip back because i did the win recovery..
so when my device reads that, it says incorrect model..
Help please!
oh my hboot says 1.27 now... how do i get back to my original 1.18?? i have to unroot it now but dunno how

Enter bootloader.
Perform superCID.
Reflash firmware, should be good to go with ics.

Take your time man, this will take longer than 15 minutes. You always have to read the information more than once so that you don't mess up your phone like you did.

How to root mytouch 4g Slide NEW hboot

Well Im going to quickly explain my way I rooted the new hboot (NOT S-OFF)
In all my time trying all methods I found a couple that did things for me.
First was the all in one kit http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-mytouch-4g-slide-amaze-4g-rezound-and-vivid/
this I used to unlock boot loader and have a recovery img
but it didnt want to root my phone. So i tried other things like the bear wire method which i wouldnt rec. and came across a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556&page=3 that said "how to flash ics with s-on" and it was pretty simple so i tried it and it flashed a ics rom and when I went into the it was rooted! Su granted and all.
With that said I hope this can help people who want a little change until a s-off method comes about but this is a whole lot to work with for now.
Thanks to everyone and I hope this helps.
I have :
Doubleshot pvt ship s-on rl
hboot- 1.45.0013
microp-0353
emmc-boot
now running PYROS ics rooted

Cool, thanks!

Unlocking through htcdev and then installing recovery and superuser.apk will give you root permissions....not hard to root anymore. If you want s-off it is a bit more tricky but even with s-on you can flash roms just have to do kernel seperately

I did the wire trick also. It took me about 10-15 times for it to actually work though. The 0.4 version of the program worked with me. Just takes patience and truly following instructions. Now I don't have to flash ONLY at my computer anymore. So glad of that!

For me, the first couple times I tried it the response was always something different (from it saying things like "couldn't find bar" to "connect device" even though it was connected). I asked around a little but since it was still kind of experimental there was no definite answer for much of anything. When I got ver 0.4 a few of the same errors happened but not as much. For some reason I found that restarting my computer and then running the program worked. Every time I did it went further in the ControlBear program, then finally when I did the wire trick the phone rebooted but not into fastboot, it just stayed at the boot animation logo while the program finished its work. I think the results vary for everyone...My SD card did crash but I was able to restore it with the info Indirect posted. It was an extra card tho, I keep them laying around.
Ok so heres the link. I still have it ---> Ver 0.4

Good day, and welcome to XDA!
What is the OS on your PC? Windows, Mac, Linux, or something else? Which drivers have you tried? I had good luck in the past with the adbsetup package, but your mileage may vary.
Hope this provides a good start.

You need to either flash boot.img separately of you need to enable smart flash in 4EXT recovery and re-flash your ROM. I recommend formatting all partitions except SD Card in 4EXT recovery before re-flashing. Also, every time you flash a ROM, you will need to flash boot.img separately or enable smart flash again before flashing. Here is the appropriate guide for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25587345#post25587345

malybru, I've read many of your answers to these kind of questions & the key to finding a kernel not flashed problem is " I'm HTC Dev Unlocked and after flashing XYZ custom rom my (Something) is not working"
90% of these problems are because boot.img is not flashed automatically for HTC Dev unlocked devices, because HTC believes that flashing a custom Kernel, which will allow overclocking, will cause hardware problems that they are obligated to fix. Hence, the solution that I gave above. I don't mean to put you down or anything and it's pretty clear that you know way more than I do, but I thought you probably might have missed this & so, I brought it to your attention

Thanks for your reply man!
But i flashed the 3.32 firmware with the revolutionary hboot 1.27.1100.
So i think im not htcdev unlocked, but full unlocked..
And my vibration worked with virtious last day. So today i flashed virtious again but vibrate didnt work anymore
Maybe i try stock RUU to see if vibrate will work again..
My phone is just 2 days old
Edit: and im s-off
And it doesnt vibrate 1 time at boot..

Re flash firmware. If that doesn't work, RUU. Guide in signature.

I said firmware, not ROM. Form here.

Just refladhed 3.32 firmware. All was ok. But still no vibrate..

I've had this a couple of times with my xe.
It first happened when I first bought my xe from eBay.
All I did was gently drop the phone from about half a metre off the ground and it started working again. This method was made the vibration start working for me on both occasions. I dropped it onto a carpeted floor with a rug so damage was unlikely.
I found this solution on other forums so it's not only me who has tried this.
All I will say is I'm 100% serious about this and just be careful. Obviously I'm not responsible if you're a bi heavy handed with you're phone and throw it at the floor - that is not what I'm letting you to do!

When I bought my phone I had the same problem after some time. The vibrate (surplus part of the phone just below the sim card) worked occasionally, but rarely.
I had to send the phone at HTC, they would have repaired the vibrate, everything works fine since.

Thanks everyone for helping me out man.
The thing is i dont want to miss my phone for 3 weeks haha.
I will try to drop my phone softly..

RUU is your only option then.
If it's a software issue, RUU will solve it.
If it's hardware related then you'll need to S On the phone again & send it to HTC.

Thanks ill try your method.
After i s-on again and bootloader is locked, i will run ics ruu. Is that ok?

Just saw this on latest threads. Dunno if this will help as it may be totally different on htc but search for immvibed and libImmVibeJ.so. Then set permissions on those and the folders above, to all. This solved the issue for me in the note and i tried EVERYTHING.

didnt work.. sorry

just installed GB ruu on my sensation, all fine but still not vibrating.
BUT i made it to make it S-ON again and my hboot is 1.17.
But theres no pink text saying "LOCKED" OR "RELOCKED" in my bootloader.
It doesnt show anything in pink.
My bootloader's 1st line is just PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL.
Is it now locked and ok for warranty?? or is it supposed to say locked or relock???

It's supposed to say locked because you were on an engineering bootloader.
Re-flash RUU. Should do the trick.

i think its not supposed to say locked when on a GB rom.. i saw a vid on youtube where it wasnt sayn locked either.

I think when i flash ICS RUU that it'll say locked.
EDIT: updated to 2.3.4 and now saying locked
