[Q] Downgrading from gingerbread to froyo [HTC Wildfire] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I have recently acquired a rooted HTC Wildfire that came with android gingerbread, but it did not come with the official android market app, but another third party market app instead. I am not very comfortable using, so I was wondering if its possible to downgrade my OS to android froyo or restoring the phone to factory settings (before being rooted)?
Thank you very much!

Help!!

Did you manage to do this? My sister just got a HTC wildfire with gingerbread installed on it even though it wasn't advertised as so! I've been searching all morning for how to do and I just can't find any for the wildfire. I don't want to mess it up so just wondered if you had any success? Thanks

[Q] HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 Recent Purchase

Hi all
I have recently bought myself a HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 which I have been wanting to get for ages, I bought it from Ebay and it came with Firmware version 2.1-update 1 which I understand is Froyo?
Anyhow I was wondering if someone might be kind enough to point me in the right direction of how to root my phone, I have tried searching but the amount of entries are overwhelming and to be honest I am not sure where to start. My ultimate goal is to have it rooted and then have the ability to have apps installed to the memory card...
Also once rooted what is the best 2.1 rom to flash the phone with?
Thanks for any help in advance, it is very much appreciated!

Android 2.1 isn't Froyo - Froyo is android 2.2.
Check out this software universal androot and use that. Though there isn't a documented guide (that i know of).
My sig has a newbie guide which might work on 2.1 (unconfirmed) which you could try. If not you need to wait for http://villainrom.co.uk/ to bring back their 2.1 root guide and use that.
Thank you for your help
I am now on VillainROM 12 and am loving it!
Thanks once again...
Just so you (and others) know. I've now updated my guide to be super quick and it uses Universal Androot now too. Finally a documented method to root which uses this program.

Problems with X10

Hi all ive had my x10 for 6 months and experiencing a few problems.
The phone is very slow, the touch screen doesn't react great and messaging is awful slow.
I cannot install flash for it, for example I wanted to install sky sports news and watch it on my phone but it said i need flash, i tried to install it and it says doesn't support it.

Upgrade it to gingerbread 2.3.3 for x10, either by SEUS (depending on your provider) or via flash tool in the development forum. Or a custom GB rom of the many right in the development forum.

[Q] ROM questions, current versions, etc.

Hi all,
I rooted my buddy's T-bolt a couple months ago and put a stock Froyo ROM that was the most up to date at the time. Being in the Evo scene, I'm a bit out of touch on the recent ROM happenings and which is the most up to date etc for the Tbolt.
Is Gingerbread standard on unrooted Tbolt's today? And if so, has someone developed a completely stock rooted version of it?
Thanks in advance.

How can i root Htc Hd2 with android 2.2

I have a problem with my htc hd2 ... i want it rooted how can i do this on android 2.2 plss help
Use a later rom, , sounds like you are using the original proof of concept rom, which isn't and cant be rooted. All (most of? probably all) the other roms are already rooted.
