[GUIDE] One Click How to Root the Wildfire with Unrevoked 3.21 - Wildfire Android Development

Note: It does not work on 2.2.1 Wildfire's (i.e. - Any bought after Feb - March 2011)
I first want to thank everyone at UnrEVOked for what they've done. I'm posting this because there aren't any really detailed instructions. Its an easy enough root, but I know I've been there before and even the simplest things can be tough if things aren't laid out. So here's a step by step tutorial.
Due to some bugs, Unrevoked 3.2 was taken down shortly after being released, but the updated version is now LIVE! So obviously we're going to bring you a video tutorial on how to do it! Thanks to the guys at Unrevoked for giving us this simple solution to rooting the HTC Buzz (Wildfire).
LINK TO VIDEO WALKTHROUGH FOR HOW TO ROOT THE WILDFIRE
◄●REQUIRED DOWNLOADS●►
EVERYONE: Unrevoked3. Download the version for your OS.
WINDOWS USERS: unrEVOked modified USB driver
◄●How to Install HBOOT Drivers (Windows Users ONLY)●►
If you're using Windows, you're going to have to install the HBOOT drivers first. You can follow this video tutorial:
How to Install HBOOT Drivers
and follow along with these written instructions provided by the Unrevoked team:
Download the unrEVOked modified USB driver and expand it somewhere you will remember.
Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.
On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.
Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen.
Open Device Manager.
Click Start, then right click on Computer, then click Properties, then click Device Manager.
Under Other devices, you should now see the Android 1.0 device.
Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software:
Click on Browse my computer for driver software.
Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder on on your computer, click ok, then click next.
You should get a status bar indicating that the driver is installing. If you get any warnings, just click Ok.
Your driver should install.
Click Close and make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone.
◄●Instructions●►
Make sure you downloaded Unrevoked3 for your OS.
If you're on Windows, make sure you "uninstall HTC Sync or any other program that might talk to the phone over USB (doubletwist, etc). They will cause problems" (Unrevoked.com).
Plug your phone into your computer with USB.
Drag down from the notification bar on your phone and select "Charge Only" and "Remember this"
Make sure your phone has USB Debugging turned on by going to Menu>>Settings>>Applications>>Development and checking USB debugging.
Run the Reflash application that you downloaded.
Unrevoked will run its processes. Follow the few instructions it gives and thats it!
You're now rooted!
EDIT: If that doesn't work for you, follow these instructions:

Got my wildFire Rooted!
Most ways here didn't work to get it going, but here is how i got it working:
01. Installed HTC Synch
02. Ran HTC Synch with WildFire Connected
03. Closed HTC Synch
04. Downloaded Unrevoked 3 and ran it
05. Let it do the whole process (it did everything by itself (rebooting the wildfire in hboot mode etc...)
05. Installed HBOOT USB Drivers when it asked for it
06. At some stage it says something like rooting ... safe to restart if it doesn't work, it stays on that screen, close unrevoked3
07. Disconnected WildFire
08. Uninstalled HTC Synch (only the program, not the drivers)
09. Connected Wildfire to PC
10. Ran UNREVOKED3 again
11. HTC Wildfire is rooted now

Try installing HTC Sync and then uninstalling it. Then run unrevoked.

It's Done

Hi EveryOne!
I have some problems, with launching unrevoked 3 reflash_package.exe.
I did the USB driver setup, and it works.
I turned on the phone, USB debugging is allowed, just charging, no HTC sync on Laptop (win7 32bit), connect the phone via USB, launching reflash, it says: waiting for device... after 10 minutes, it is the same...
What should i do?
Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem (Win7 x64), and i dont know to fix it, so I have been searching for a response to this, but nothing...
At the end, I have done it with a special UBuntu Live CD
search in xda: Ubuntu LiveCD with ADB and Unrevoked Recovery installer(Guide)
No problems in this way, when you plug in the phone

Hm... Very exciteing...
I did the same steps in my PC, and it worked.
Thanks a lot

The OS on my PC is W7 x86 and not possible to use Unrevoked 3.21 to root my Buzz.
I did it also with a special UBuntu Live CD : Ubuntu LiveCD with ADB and Unrevoked Recovery installer(Guide)
Is it possible to mention this methode also in the 1 post for W7 users

i use w7 x86 and it work fine

My PC is running under w7 ultimate 32bit, and the root is working now.

Hi,
I had the same problem. Solved by uninstallation of all htc related drivers (don't forget to show nonpresent devices) and installation of Android Bootloader Interface from original Android SDK. Running Win7 64-bit. Then unrevoked 3.21 succesfully installed.

On my laptop, there was no htc sync at all. On my PC, i did the uninstall, and it worked. Maybe that was the thing why it worked on PC.

Driver Help

Note: I have searched the forums/google/youtube and done just about everything suggested.
I downloaded the SDK thinking my computer would notice the drivers ... it doesn't
I've installed, uninstalled, rebooted, power cycled, disonnected, reconnected, deleted, added etc... And Windows still does not recognize my Hero.
I don't know what to do now, as I thought I was going to just simply root and keep it moving, but I can't even get transfer contacts yet. Anybody have suggestions? Tips? Anything? I'm desperate here
Running: Vista x64
Make sure you download and install HTC Sync here and turn on USB Debugging on your phone by pressing menu, settings, applications, development, and check USB debugging. Also turn on unknown sources in the same menu in applications.

Sigh, tried this too. Windows just keeps telling me it cant find the driver - even when I direct it to the folder I've never had this happen with any other drivers I've installed
try removing the device in device manager and remove SDK and then go back through the steps of installing htc sync plug in your phone then run SDK

Lol yea I've done that too. Maybe it's my system. I just plugged the damn thing in to my office computer and the phone recognized the USB, and on the computer I can see the mSD - none of which have happened on my system at home.
Thanks for all the help, if anybody else has suggestions feel free to keep em comin!
i have had problems with two of the four computers that I have it installed on.
both of them i think i used different versions of SYNC to get it to work but I can't remember.

I'd be happy to even get THAT far. My computer wont install drivers, my phone doesn't detect that its connected via usb, so I'm unable to mount. So there's no chance of even using SYNC yet lol. I guess I should be happy I didn't rush out to get that EVO just yet, cuz I'd kill over if I were having this problem with that phone. With the Hero, it's annoying cuz I can't transfer music or root yet.
The following accurately sums my emotional roller coaster the last 24hrs ...

I had a similar problem. First does you phone charge from the USB port? if not find a different USB cable. I have heard thicker is better but all the ones I have tried have charged it.
If it does charge but you can get Windows to recognize it as ADB then install PDAnet on your computer. You can find it with a google search. I got really frusturaded getting the drivers to work too, but PDAnet worked on the first try.

I use the stock USB, which does charge it via any USB connection. However I notice that when I plug it into a system at work (Windows 7) the phone recognizes the USB connection and allows me to mount [I'm adding music I sent to myself this morning to the phone via this Win7 system]. Whereas the system at home the phone doesn't even see a USB connection present, so no mounting option. (I've tried all 4 USB ports on my personal laptop)
I'll DL PDAnet either tonight or tomorrow and see how this works. Thanks for the suggestion, and I'll keep you posted.

Ok I've finally gotten the phone and computer to see each other. So I now have access to the SD card, however Vista still is not locating drivers.
Methods tried:
Installing, Uninstalling HTC Sync (various versions, new & old - including several reboots)
A tether program suggested in this thread
PDAnet
Directed Vista to folders with drivers.
Downloaded suggested drivers to Vista and pointed the system to particular folder
It's great that now I can take care of adding music etc... to the phone, but I had hopes of rooting as well, and it doesn't look like that's going to be a reality.
I'm still completely open to suggestions, and very grateful for all the assistance so far!
Since I just got this phone from asurion it's still on 1.5 would updating help? (I didn't want to update android for fear that I wouldn't be able to root, as I heard some update went out that prevented ppl from rooting)
-----------------
UPDATE:
I must have THE WORST Karma in the world, as soon as I posted this I stopped being able to see my SD card, and the phone keeps wanting to sync with HTC sync. No option to mount the USB anymore. I'm ready to bash my head and this phone repeatedly into a brick wall (after throwing my notebook off a balcony)
do you have sdk installed.
i had a hell of a time and ended up installing sdk in mydocuments instead of the root C:
again this is just one computer. my windows 7 machine was good from the start.
i haven't tried vista yet.
let me retrace my steps and see if i can help
this is also an option for rooting http://unrevoked.com/
i haven't tried it myself but you can download it to your phone and with a file explorer you can install it.
I've given up. This issue has made just pushed me completely away from Windows. I've realized that practically any USB device plugged in (except my old win mobile device) isn't recognized. Switching to Linux and hopefully a more compatible android experience.
Thanks for all the help!

My only thought (after having similar problems at work) is that there are still driver issues. I found a program called USBDeview that can be used to remove drivers left behind by other removal methods. It requires admin rights, so if you don't have those, sorry. If you still want to try, the program was a free download found using Google. Remove the drivers, reboot, and give it one more try.

As tpblake notes, this problem is usually associated with the HTC drivers.
Try installing the drivers given on the Revolutionary page
OR
try installing HTC software (Sync i think?) which contains these drivers.

revolutionary stuck on "Waiting for device"

I currently have hboot 1.13
When i type "Fastboot devices" It comes up with my phone connected, just revolutionary won't pick it up.
Help please?
Thanks
Here's a good place to start.
You probably have HTC Sync installed. Uninstall it and instal only drivers from Revolutionary documentation page.
You really think I haven't googled it before making a thread?
Also I don't have htc sync installed.
Uninstall all which is connected to HTC and their drivers, reboot your PC, install drivers pack, try different USB hub. If all that doesn't work definitely try with another PC.

You'd be surprised how many people don't google before asking. My bad.
It's been a while since I used revolutionary, but I don't think you need to be in fastboot mode. Boot the phone normally and check USB debugging. This may have not turned up in a google search, but I'm pretty sure its mentioned in the..... Instructions.... On their website...
Edit: btw the first hit in the link ZaySk provided pretty much covers every issue you could have while using revolutionary.

I think that revolutionary needs a working rom and a phone booted. For fasboot are only drivers needed, but I recommend to connect phone in fastboot mode just to install drivers, not causing a PC reboot requirement. After the drivers are installed just boot up the phone, connect to PC and run revolutionary.

[Q] Q: Back to stock?

So I know XDA is full of answers to this one, but it seems everyone either has some snarky comment like, "they won't check' or whatever. There are also some ok answers and tuts but some of it's confusing and a lot of the threads go off topic. So i'd like to ask, how do i get my phone back to stock? i have to mail my device back in for a warranty exchange as the speakers and camera stopped working suddenly.
My device is stock rooted, odex rom w/ TWRP. unlocked bootloader. Super CID and S-off. Tampered message gone in boot loader. My laptop runs Windows 8, which I'm having an issue getting the HTC manager to stay open for some reason, even after an uninstall/ reinstall of the manager and drivers. The drivers themselves seemed to have installed fine as my device is recognized as "my HTC" though when in fastboot, my comp will tell me the device is unrecognized. Using the stock usb plug that came with my phone and I've plugged in to both usb 3.0 and 2.0 ports. And yes, I do have ADB in the root of my computer, though I'm wondering if i need a different type of ADB since this is the one i used with windows 7 a while back..or does it matter?
I'd like to get things back to stock as much as possible and would be very appreciative. Thanks!

if your problem is adb have you tried to add it in the "Environment Variables" ?
have you enabled USB debugging in your phone ?

I use windows 8 and it has mostly been trouble free for me. However I did have problems with my laptop recognising my phone when in recovery. It eventually worked on it's own but I found this after:

Mine was recognised everywhere (including recovery). I'd get the beep from windows 8 and the driver would initialise but it wasn't recognised by adb.
If you haven't tried installing the above drivers yet it certainly wouldn't hurt to try.

[q] i messed up and now i can't boot

Hey so today I decided to updato to one of the 4.4 roms.
So I downloaded the rom + an update do CWM.
Since I installed CWM on my htc one I updated to windows 8.1 so I have no drivers for the fast boot or anything installed and had no idea that there where problems installing those in windows 8.1.
So just to test i jumped on my old CWM 6.0.3.2 and tried installing the rom this one->(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520076)
No sucess.
So I thought no problem I update cwm and then try again. Problem is after trying installing the new rom and failing I can't boot into my previous rom.
Now I can't update the rocovery and I don't have any other roms rather then the one that doesn't work on my phone.
I'm kinda freaking out about all this since I have been trying to fix this for the last 2 hours without any success.
Please if someone could point me in the right direction I will be incredibly thankfull

First of all don't panic
Follow this thread to install drivers on your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232799
grab fastboot platform tools from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590800, don't worry about all the text just download platform tools file unzip and place folder on your desktop. Once inside the folder on a blank spot hold down shift key on your keyboard and right mouse click, you should see and Option to 'Open a Command window here" do that, then you should be OK from there (if you have installed drivers)
type "adb reboot bootloader", this should take your device to fastboot mode, then type "fastboot erase cache" and then try booting into your phone into recovery it should fire up, if it doesn't simply reflash recovery and erase cache again. (you can also side load a ROM if you have to in recovery (but once you get your drivers installed you should be able to place ROM directly on SD Card or install the nandroid backup)
Hope this helps

Secondly I'm kinda freaking out because I simply can't follow the tutorial on the first link you sent me.
I simply can't install the drivers, once I go to fastboot mode, my htc on is detected as unknown USB device and once I select the downladed drivers from that thread and go to device manager to change the drivers, It simply says I have the last one and doesn't install anything...
I did a little research and found that in windows 8.1 you need to disable driver verification on the advanced boot option, did that, did nothing to help me and my situation.
Any advice?

Right I've already looked at a similar tutorial and in device manager I have 2 entries for Renesas USB 3 nothing saying intel. But once I click them I find that the driver version and driver provider and date, is exacly the same as the ones shown on the tutorial. Problem is once I go to update the driver and browse to the x64 folder (where I place the modified files) it does exactly nothing just like it does when I try to update the drivers of the HTC one when in fast boot...
Did you try downloading HTC sync from HTC them self's?
I'm running 8.1 and the official HTC sync drivers work just fine. Uninstall any previous HTC drivers and restart before installing HTC sync. Then after all that plug in the phone in fastboot and verify that its installed and recognized.
Then use HTC one all in one tool or some other similar app and use it to sideload a rom

After trying and failing to update the fastboot drivers I installed htc sync and rebooted. Still have the same problem. Now I may have not unnistalled the previous drivers that allowed me to access the htc one storage normaly when a rom is installed so that maybe the issue.
How would you unnistall the previous drivers? Are they in the device manager?

If it was the htc driver install program then you would uninstall it like any other program. If you did it manually by going into device manager then simply find the device and uninstall it from within device manager.. It should give you an option to delete the drivers after uninstall

So I take a break because I'm getting kinda worried about all this and really needed to "Chill the F*** down"
So I tried your idea, went to the control panel and unnistalled HTC sync and HTC drivers and iptinstaller (I think this one is installed with HTC sync), then I rebooted and installed htc sync again, rebooted and then booted my phone up and went to fastboot, then plugged the usb cable (that is plugged in a motherboard port not in the front pannel) to the phone, it displayed FASTBOOT USB as normal, waited a couple of seconds for windows to say that the device is not recognized as it did before...
Any thoughts? My biggest issue is that I have 2 hours to fix this since tomorrow I really need this phone...that's whats freaking me out
Any idea or anyway to fix this will be trully appreciated since At the moment I literelly don't know what to do anymore...
If after uninstalling the phone and the drivers then installing HTC sync and the problem has not been fixed.
Fastest way would be using Linux since the drivers are made by you essentially. And fastboot and adb are installed and recognized

One thing you said unnistall the phone and the drivers the only thing I did was I went to the controll panel and unnistalled everything HTC related, is the phone unnistalled just by doing that?
And currently I have no acess to a linux machine and I tried to create a virtual machine with windows 7 but I seem to be strugling to connect the unknown device that is my phone in fastboot mode to the virtual machine

It shouldn't make a difference either or would delete the drivers.
As for the virtual machine I always just created a partition on the harddrive and dual booted Ubuntu and windows

Do you think doing that but using windows 7 and then installing htc sync would do the trick? That's what I was thinking about doing right now

It would work since HTC drivers work on W7 just 8 and 8.1 are the ones with issues.

I was completely freaking out as soon as the problem kicked in and only now did I realize that I had and old rom backup on the recovery I could not believe it, sorry for the inconvinience I may have caused you guys.
About the drivers I simply could not get anything to work anything, hopefully someone should figure it out.
Just a quick and much more simple question, how can I update my recovery to the last CWM version?
I tried rom manager which only shows a version before the last one and I wanted to see if the last one worked with the 4.4 rom.
Anyways thanks for everyone who trie to help me in the first place it's much appreciated

Did you disable the driver signing on Windows 8? That's got to be done before any of the driver installation or adb/fastboot setup stuff.
I can help you get it figured out via team viewer maybe later tonight. The latest TWRP would probably solve your issue, it works for the new 4.4 roms, the goo.im app would probably install it but you really need to be using fastboot and adb if you're going to be flashing stuff.
Once you get the driver issue solved you just download the recovery, it will be a .img file, drop it in the right folder, rename recovery.img, and type the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img.

As far as I know, On windows 8.1 With a H.Boot of 1.54 or above ADB/Fastboot will not work in the recovery? Not 100% sure, just read it somewhere on here, have you recently updated to 8.1? Failing that, reinstall HTC Sync, Reboot, Then uninstall HTC Sync (-JUST- HTC Sync, when it asks leave the drivers installed) Then reboot again, and try again, thats what I did when my ADB Stopped working and it got it going again
Hope you get it sorted soon.
