Wildfire S - custom recovery/root problems - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
HTC Wildfire S. UK T-Mobile. New today. GSM.
Unlocking the bootloader was nto plain sailing but seems to have worked:
I unlocked the bootloader via this link - eventually
http://htcdev.com/bootloader
I got an error 190 when trying to apply the T-Mo UK RUU:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There were no such updates available. I tired the HTC EU RUU. Error 191:
So I pulled the rom.zip (HBOOT update) from the RUU using this method:
http://lukasz.szmit.eu/2010/04/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-android.html
Renamed it PG76IMG.zip (actual version below)
http://www.cosic.org.uk/MarkoStuff/android/PG76IMG.zip
I applied this with a goldcard using method #3 here:
http://nzlamb.wordpress.com/2011/07/02/htc-wildfire-s-factory-rom-update/
Then the HTC process continued as normal to unlock the bootloader.
In the bootloader there is not the *** UNLOCKED *** in pink across the top.

HBOOT-1.09.0099
MICROP-0451

Then the date.
Now I try this thread:
http://androidforums.com/wildfire-s-all-things-root/480954-guide-how-root-wildfire-s-s-finally.html
HTC supertool v3 doesn't work.
1/2, or 1/3 says 'rooted' but if I try a 'su' at the $ command prompt I'm permission denied.
So I try this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275
with clockworkmod from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1213229
(still on a Goldcard to ignore CID checks)
xda-cn recovery
Old clockworkmod
New clockworkmod
all three give the same error message when entering the bootloader and waiting for PG76IMG.zip to do it's thing:
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot.
This is beyond me. What is that error message trying to tell me please?
Thanks,

UnlockRoot also doesn't work:
Success with this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431969
That little gadget (thanks eoghan2t7, have $5) gave some terrifying looking errors.
I used the manual option and hit root. It made errors, then it brought up a CWM console that allowed me to apply the xda_cn root.zip file to get superuser/root access. Then it made more errors, and failed to remove CWM recovery, so now I've got SU and CWM recovery.
Hope that this is useful for somebody - perhaps it could be transferred into the threads I've linked to? (I don't have enough pots to add to them)
Cheers,

Marko

Reading that again it makes no sense.
To clarify:
I asked eoghan2t7's app to manually "root" the phone using a "temporary" clockworkmod. It couldn't root the phone itself, but it did let me apply the rooting script by XDA.cn from this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275
...and then failed to remove clockworkmod, a series of errors which left me with what I was after in the first place! (clockworkmod and root access)

Download link on page broken
The link for that app/program you have used is broken.
Can you please attach it here, then Ill be happy
Best Regards
Kim

Sorry, don't have it any more - try the dev?

it seem you have some mods in /system or /webtop partition
Did you ever unlock your bootloader?
ATT right?

if you Answer are NO
and YES
this is the way to do it follow this link and you need a PC and your phone attached to it by USB:
"http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/motosupport/source/SoftwareUpdateSummary.asp?country=USA&language=ENS&web_page_name=SUPPORT&strCarrierId=ATT&strPhone=Motorola%20ATRIX%28TM%29%204G&strCable=Micro%20USB%20Data%20Cable&strURL=https://rsddownload.motorola.com/download/SoftwareUpdateforATTATRIX4Gversion.4.5.91.pdf"
I believe i just rooted it with gingerbreak but then i followed this tutorial: http://atrix4ghacks.com/atrix-4g-hacks/how-to-enable-webtop-without-laptopusb-dock/
it edited my webtop stuff so how do i fix it so i can update
lol don't panic! (....I have a towel =D)
You just entered the recovery menu. To see the error message, you need to un-hide it by touching the screen on the bottom right corner (right above the search button). This will show you what error you encountered.
If you're OTAing up, then you probably had Titanium or something that removed bloatware or modded the system with a theme or custom files. If that's the case, any OTA will fail because you will not have passed the pre-install check. You have three options:
1.) Go here and get the Automated Upgrade for PC Users. That will allow you to upgrade and bypass the test, while also keeping your data. This doesn't require any mods or unlocked bootloaders. (BE WARNED THAT IF YOU USE THIS, YOUR BOOTLOADER WILL BE BLOWN. DON'T DOWNGRADE WITH SBFs AND STICK TO EATING YOUR FRUITCAKE! However, Radio and Bootloader SBFs are still considered safe. As any wise man would do, proceed with caution.)
OR
2.) Unlock your bootloader, install CWM from Tenfar, and then get KP's 2.3.4 ROM Beta 4 and put it in your SD card. Boot up CWM and install it. That easy. =] (BE WARNED SOME PEOPLE BRICKED THIS WAY.)
ORRRRRR
3.) Using the fastboot from Motorola and unlocking your bootloader, just flash the images here. (Currently the best method and seems to produce the best results, but if you don't know how to do it, then don't do it.)
If you need instructions on how to do any of the above, use this noob bible. And lastly, if you want to root, use the preinstall method (also in bible.)
Happy upgrading!
~jojojohnson7410~
I had the same problem and also had only used gingerbreak and webtop mod. I tried using pc update software but it thought I was on orange france (mine is AT&T) so I didn't proceed. Decided to flash the gingerbread plus pudding sbf in pudding thread, worked perfect and kept all data, you don't need to unlock bootloader before updating
Same problem
I'm having the exact same problem.
Except my bootloader is unlocked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

[Q] problems flashing CM7, downgraded to 1.13

a friend gave me his legend so i can update it to a better rom
i'm planing on CM7.2 KANG build
the phone is stock, from local operator...
S-ON
HBOOT: 0.43.0003 > now 0.43.0001

i know that i can SOFF it via a tool HTC has released but i also know that i don't really need it and i can use CM even with C-ON (am i right?)
most root guides i see are for 1.01 and not 0.43 so i prefer asking then killing the phone
update
downgraded to 1.13

You have two options. One is to make it s-off with AlphaRev, the other is to unlock boot loader with HTCdev method you mentioned. These are not the same. With unlocking you loose warranty as stated by HTC but with s-off you can always revert back to unlocked boot loader make it look like never being rooted/s-offed.
AlphaRev doesnt detect the desire
and when i tried HTCdev way i had to update using the RUU files there... they didn't want to run on desire
wanted to make goldcard so i can use that way... the goldcard generator is down...
what to do now?
I wouldn't know about Desire. Are you sure you're not lost? This is Legend forum...
sorry, its a legend... legend, not desire (i used to have one before my I9100)

yes, i did recovery and factory reset

My guess would be to use the procedure from this thread

From your post above you are s-off so you can skip that part. Use the large file install as it will replace all parts.
Make sure you have ample charge before attempting

Impressive root failure (please help!)

After managing to unlock via fake cid, installing twrp recovery, my attempt to install nj's Kangbang rom failed (something like com.android.core errors) Attempted Rancun Soff, made it partially through but my command window repeatedly froze at step where original RUU is installed.. (using win vista 32 bit) ..
Been going mad trying to fix this, and now can only gt to the bootloader screen- fastboot works, but get errors trying to flash any image- same with any attmpt to artificially place PJ53Img.zip (recovery, RUU, rom...) or any other file on external sd, then booting.
Essentially stuck with this screen (or Fastboot)....

ukb is based off the old software, therefore you have to flash the boot.img of the old software via adb.nits has both te new and old boot images posted here somewhere.
unfortunately, at the moment i am unable to successfully flash anything via fastboot...no twrp, no stock recovery...
You said in the OP that you unlocked your bootloader. You'll need to re-lock if before the RUU will successfully install.
sorry, thought i posted this screenshot earlier- i am relocked but this is the only gui i can access
I know this seems obvious, but are you getting the stock image files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770978 ?

Hi, I had that same error too, .... and now I have a soft bricked phone.
I've tried to convert to EU international http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356401 and had the same error , so I was looking for all the posts, I've tried using revone, rumrunner (ask for root that I didn't had) and never worked. Finally I got the CID to HTC__001 doing the next.
First I had to unblock de m7 through htcdev
Then installing the drivers I could push the recovery tool TWRP in adb mode
Through TWRP could install ROOT
Now finally I was able to use rumrunner and get S-Off
Then following the steps I did
"fastboot oem writemid PN0710000 **Should receive success message
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001 **Should receive success message
Code:
fastboot getvar all
You should now see that your CID, MID and Main-Version have changed to as follows:
Code:
version-main: ATT: 1.26.502.12 / Rogers: Will add soon
modelid: PN0710000
cidnum: HTC__001 "
Everything good, now I'm stucked here, I can't flash anything, Im dowloading RRU executable firmwares, cause I cannot do anything else, I have the access to the recovery tool, but nothing else, I can't send files through adb sideload.
I have downloaded RUU_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_HTC_Europe_4.19.401.9_R_Radio_4A.23.3263.28_10.38r.1157.04L_release_353069_signed_2-1.exe and when I tried to run the process fails and nothing happens, Doing it on my laptop with the same file I have no fastboot connection (unknow usb device enumeration error) but the executable file works,
So I'm going to sleep crying specting tomorrow will be better, if you dont have all the files don't mess with your phone!
Soo bad.. not work for me..
I need help
Somebody help me please
