Hello
I was wanting to root my HTC Wildfire running Android 2.2 but i dont know how to do it? Can somebody Please help me!
Thanks,
Alistair
Wrong topic under wrong podforum. Try browsing Wildfire development, you'll find your answer there.
P.s.
The answer is, you can't. Get in line and wait unrevoked.

WAIT for the USELESS Unrevoked?????
IMPOSSIBLE!!!!! .v.
I have been waiting for it for more than 3 months!!!!!
FXXX IT!
well... Truth be told it's getting really ridiculous.
Three months later and after some recorder succesfull cases of S-Off they didnt even so much as bother releasing any news on the progress.
I'm with everyone stating we shouldn't be demanding anything since its not a right its just something they do on their spare time but if they cant make it work at least give it out to the community to try.
After all, nobody started out knowing everything they had help from the rest of the android world like anybody would. Isn't it time to give something back? Even if its just an update on their progress.

Oh come on seriously?
Referencing the 90/90 rule is an update for 90% of the earths population and anything they might be working on.
90/90 rule is also ridiculous

It's true though, and the thing is no matter what device I buy, it always in the corner of the room not being able to enjoy the party.
Happened with iPod Touch 2G MC, had to wait for months to get jailbreak just because our devices were unique and we have different bootroms.
And now HTC Wildfire, I bought the phone after getting the news that HTC Wildfire will be getting Froyo update, but now stuck with it with no root. I should've asked them if there were any handsets left with 2.1 Stock in it. :\

Haha, I was in the same boat with my iPod Touch 3G 32GB bought last October. I clearly remember going to Chronic Dev's website every few hours just to check up on the progress of Greenpoison, and the anticlimax that was when limera1n was released.
Thankfully, had better luck with my Wildfire, although I had previously decided to get the 2.2 OTA just to check it out (Because, at the very beginning, I was afraid to root and all, since the guides seemed complex), I am glad I didn't.

This is officially the 2000th topic asking the same damn question. Congrats.
No need to be so rude, everyone want's to know how the dev team is doing, and we all wait for the same answer. So we'll just have to wait and see.

its almost the end of june and yet no update yet just wondering if it was pushed back even farther since it was supposed to be released the 1st week of june. also could it not be updating because i have my phone rooted? thanks
If you want cupcake...go to the android development area of this forum. And load a custom cooked ROM onto your phone. You have root so you will NOT be getting the 1.5 update that t-mobile is currently rolling out in the U.S.

Like the others said, you have a rooted phone, which means you wont be getting OTA updates. Ever. You have to go to the "Android Development" subforum under Dream and find a ROM (JF/TheDude/etc) and follow the directions carefully. If you need help, search that forum, because there may have been someone else with the same problem.
has it not been on the site for some 2 months now? This thread is only going to turn into bashing

I know you guys are working on it but PLEASE for the love of all thats holy give us ANDROID!
It will cost you much, much less to buy either a sprint evo, nexus 1 or any other number of android phones.
Be patience~~

When the EVO comes out couldn't someone just download that ROM and then load it on to the HD2? I am sure some tweaking would be needed but aren't they close enough hardware that you could do that?

Why don't you just get an android device? It'll be a while before android is ported to the the hd2.
You have to prove you have $1,000,000.00 first.

We'll swap at the same time. On the bridge, just like last time.
we won't see android on this phone for a long time. you might as well get the htc evo and switch to sprint or wait until tmobile comes out with the htc desire (almost the same as the nexus one but with the sense ui).
yeah we will have to wait a while for 'droid to come to the hd2 and when it does... chances are it'll be far from perfect... still though.. would love to see it happen... dual boot!!! windroid! woooooo
Why didn't you just buy an android phone? What kind of sick mind buys the best wm phone to ever hit the street and then whines because its too hard and they want android? android will never come to the hd2. Return your hd2 and get a n1. You don't deserve this hotness!

2x, if you want android, get an android phone, stop whining and *****ing.
Ok np. Thx for setting us all straight.
Sheesh..no one here uses different OS or ROMS on their phones, no one here buys a phone for its hardware and hopes for the geniuses here to improve on the stock software.
Glad you two opened our eyes..
android its not really my bowl of soup. just take away the 3g issues and bugs and more stable software and I will be the happiest man on earth.

We've confirmed: you'll lose your root if you take this OTA. More info coming soon. 1 minute ago via Tweetie for Mac
Argh, I'm on a plane for the next 4 1/2 hours, so I can't check for updates. it's going to drive me nuts...
Its about dang time!
Stock + root gogoogogogogogogogoggo!!
Of course they may have been given the ruu a bit early if they had a friend on the inside, or someone who knew how to get on the inside. They may not have gotten it from an OTA.
Cease updating I'd wait until the clear is given trust me it is not worth it

For people who have no interest in root it is way worth updating right away. Also the sooner we get our hands on the update the sooner I can get a cracked one that lets me keep root.
then link to the ota. its not here so stop trolling.
it should read unrevoked got a early froyo ota
Myphone is asking to update...
I am on the stock 1.47 rooted rom...fully rooted, not gonna take it...till a dev asks me to, and tells me where they want it UL for them to work on.
I know team unrevoked has it, so I'm waiting
/facepalm/ it was one of my market apps...dont drink and hack. Still WAITING is the way to go till we get the Official update from HTC.

It's not an early ota if it's the same version as the release one. It's just an early copy of the Official OTA, and noone knows how they got it yet.
Can I haz a froyo?

A leak is an unauthorized release of information, information that is not intended for consumer eyes yet.
Rooting and flashing Kernels/ROMs is super easy now, maybe you can consider, I did mine 2 days ago after thinking about for months and it was totally worth it. I have CM7 and toastcfh's g0dm0de Kernel.

Simply put, NEVER accept an OTA update (if your phone pops up a message saying there's an update, don't accept). If you do you run the risk of losing root (sometimes permanently), bricking your phone, etc. Come over here when the OTA goes out and I can guarantee that within 48, usually 24 hours, there will be a flashable ROM for it.
And as well, there is no official Gingerbread ROM yet, unless we're really lucky and Sprint plays it smart, we won't see one until after the Evo 3D comes out.

Oh wow, so HTC is actually listening to consumers? I didn't think companies did that anymore... Kudos HTC, very awesome.
HTC is just on fire these days huh? This is pretty awesome!
Just saw the Engadget article. This is why I love HTC over Motorola, Samsung, etc. They listen.
Lord only knows what the community will be able to do with a dual core unlocked device . Hopefully, sometime down the line, VZW will get one. My upgrade still isn't for another year anyway. So by then, I expect to see some pretty awesome stuff.
That is freaking awesome! I was thinking my next phone wouldn't be an HTC (which sucks cause I love my incredible) but its on now.

I wasn't going to buy another HTC phone after hearing about the EVO 3D but, this just changed my mind.
terrific, i will stick with my HTC verizon g2!
great work HTC......another reason why i love you!

Does this mean they will unlock the phones they already locked or just for future phones?

Would this mean that HTC phones would be able to be rooted easily or no root would be needed... I have no Dev skills that's why i ask..
Well you'll still need to root, but you can install new ROM's easily with an unlocked bootloader, and without a lot of painful work.
For us Incredible users, we've been pretty lucky to have the "unrevoked" program that automates the whole process- but a lot of other phones have to go through some pretty annoying and difficult steps in order to be able to flash ROM's.
I've also heard that Motorola has jumped on the unlocked bootloader bandwagon, after HTC announced they would be doing it.
All good news, big props to HTC for listening to customers and making the move.
Also another article if anyone is interested in reading more into the story:
http://www.softsailor.com/news/8094...ature-an-unlocked-bootloader-from-now-on.html
If HTC sticks to this policy and the carriers don't get all pissy with policies on rooted/rom'd phones on their network, I'll never buy another device unless it says HTC on it... Good move, HTC. The phones, after all, BELONG to us.
I love it.
That is fantastic news.
