Hi!
I have this phone:
HTC wildfire S (marvel) - 2.3.5 ginger, kernel: 2.6.35.10
Im trying too root my phone with this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275
Im stucked here:
Boot into recovery: Hold down the "power" button and the "volume down" button for a few seconds till you see the HBOOT screen. Let it do its thing and then select "RECOVERY".
At the recovery menu, use the volume buttons to select "install zip from sd card".
after I hboot and select the recovery menu the HTC logo comes up and after a while (5-7 secs) the phone shuts down.
What Can I do?
Thank you!
Can yout do this ROM in no recovery mode?
I cant acces my recovery menu after rooting, and know one can help so far.
Thank you!

I'm rooted, s-off and running AndroidRevolution HD, but for some reason my phone will not boot into CWM. Any suggestions? I'm coming from a Captivate and I noticed that there is no update.zip file on my sd card.
Did you turn fastboot off?

From the main screen menu - settings - applications - fastboot

or if fastboot is on, tell your phone to reboot and hold the volume down button the whole time.
Fastboot is turned off. I've tried "Install ROM from SD Card" and "Reboot into Recovery" and still nothing. Very frustrating.

Rather than trying to enter recovery from ROM Manager, have you tried either:
A) With phone off, hold Volume - and Power until HBoot starts, then select recovery
B) With phone on, hold Volume - and choose Restart from the power menu, hold Vol - until HBoot appears, and choose Recovery
Hi @ all
I've bought a new HTC Desire S. It was S-On, so I used http://revolutionary.io/ to s-off it under windows. Then I tried to use Gingerbreak, but it just shows "rooting... running exploit..." , but it doesn't happen anything. I waited 10 minutes and nothing happend. No alert, no reboot.
Then I tried SuperOneClick v 2.1.1, but it allways freezes at Step #6 rooting device.
What can I do?

I have tried to install CWM on my HTC Sensation using the steps as outlined on Vipers guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300) after successfully completing the S-OFF section I follow the steps to install CWM and the HBOOT install completes successfully, so I reboot delete the .zip file then power off try to boot in to CWM by holding down pwr + vol down and it just boots in to the normal HBOOT menu and not CWM as needed.
Any help would be great. Thanks
Sorted it! I was being a fool!
You need to select 'recovery' in the hboot menu screen and that
will take you into cwm. Use the volume up/down buttons to move
the selector and power button to select it.
Hello all,
How can I confirm that CWM is installed in my phone? I just ran the CWM installation and I'm not quite sure if it installed succesfully. Thanks for any help!
Go into hboot and select recovery and see if it let's you in.

Just boot into the recovery and see if it loads up CWM.
Download Rom manager, and click reboot into recovery. Then it will reboot to CWM

- Go to Settings>Power, and uncheck "Fast boot". Then power off the phone.
- Once powered off fully, hold the volume down button, and press and release the power button. Keep the vol down button depressed until a white screen comes up with Android mascots along the bottom. This is hboot.
- From there, use the volume rocker to navigate up and down, and power to select. Select "Recovery".
If a black screen with blue text menus appears, you have CWM.
If you don't have CMW, a black screen with a symbol with a green circle will appear, and after a few seconds be replaced with a red exclamation mark.
thanks guys! got it!
Please tell me how to open recovery mode in which "Install From SD Card" Option will available???
This typically refers to Custom Recoveries. If you have one flashed that is.
To answer your question. You turn the phone off, hold down VOL DN +HOME +Power and then let go of the power button after the phone starts. Don't let go of the other 2 buttons until you get recovery screen.
NOTE, the recovery that came with the phone is incapable of flashing the ZIP files from your SD Card.
