Well I would not care if I didn't have root. that's kinda what I'm trying to do; unroot. But keeping root would be nice
What would the difference between a European stock rom and a Bell Canada stock rom? I look forward to the stock rom. Thanks

I don't think so. I flash it and I turn my device back on and it's the same. And I supposed to keep all the files laying out on the desktop? And I'm supposed to wipe all my data right?

In order to avoid potential Force crashes amongst other issues it's generally advised to wipe via clockworkmod.

Well for a proper link to it, we'll need to know more like is your Wildfire S GSM or CDMA?

I managed to recover it but I not longer have root . And a lot of things are different from the Bell Stock rom. So I'm doing something else now. thanks though

Q
If you have lost root, there is a tutorial very easy to follow on how root your phone just look in the android development section

Flash "root.zip" located in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275 This should hopefully resolve your issue of losing root.

Actually i see no differences between EU and others other than the languages ... and why not flashing any RUU ?

Thanks. I rooted my phone again. The rom isn't the same as the stock bell one, but I guess it's good enough. My Wildfire S is VERY slow though. I have tried many things to make it faster

Is it possible to flash this over Stock rooted 4.0.2 without user data wipe?
great
firstly thanks and all that - very happy
and please dont flame me but im amazed there are folk who dont know what RAR is , i cant imagine how you can get to the point where you feel the desire to root a phone but somehow havent heard the term unrar !!
again im not having a dig its just an observation, may be im just too old and rar is a format some folk have never come across
heres to WINRAR and other extracting tools LOL
Like the other user stated, this has also been the easiest upgrade for me. Went straight from 4.0.1 to 4.0.4. Used the Nexus Toolkit to restore root, Clockwork, etc. I have tried flashing to 4.0.4 on two other occasions with other ROMs and had the odd issue. Thanks!

back up your 4.0.2 first and try you can always reflash
Thanks You.
Optimal option for to flash Stock ROM, and for rollback with the Custom ROM.

[SOLUTION] So your Marvelc is refusing to flash a ROM

Okay I've been getting reports of roms not flashing right for the marvelc. So I set out for a solution and found one I believe. One issues with some roms, is that people have been doing it wrong since they got the phone. From Gsm recovery to even gsm roms. They used cmtd a very bad idea ect ect. So now, id like to present my method for fixing all of this. First, soff your hboot, then upgrade and unlock. install custom recovery and wipe all of the partitions. Then reboot to fastboot and flash the recovery posted bellow. Report back with any findings
http://goo.im/devs/simonsimons34/marvelc/cm9/tests/recovery.img
I was just wondering if you could give step by step instructions to flashing the recovery.img. File.
Download it. Rename to recovery.img. Place in the same directory as fastboot and adb.
Put your phone into fastboot (adb reboot bootloader).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Simonsimons34 I have tried many things but this CWM actually let me flash a rom your great!! thanks so much and this worked for me
Glad to hear it this recovery has all the bugs with flashing and backups fixed so you should be good for the life of the phone

so far i have managed to get unlocked BL and s-off. i have flashed some GB roms, those are nice, i like the performance gains. one problem tho, i have to take this phone back to uscc because it is a loaner opps cant seem to help myself. i downloaded a ruu for wildfire s a510c <---my device however when i run the exe i get an error?? any help would be nice tnx

To flash the RUU, You must Relock the bootloader first.
I can't be much help on returning the phone to s-on, other than to tell you it would take an image (before you s-off'd) and some jtag kung-foo skills
Not something easy.

thanks so much for youre reply i do know some jtag kung foo skills! heh and fourteen other chinese words... this is my first ever time with an htc device! i have managed to learn a lot so far, my other device was a sgs flashed that sucker more times than girls gone wild! i am however anxiously awaiting my sgsIII
with that said, rock on with youre android device hacking...
p.s the rom i have is a stock rooted rom, of course custom kernel i added too, i can fool the uscc store upon return of the device except the phone info on lock bar ect says virgin mobile, i think its cool, but its gonna be hard to pull that one off i think lol
If you flash the RUU for your carrier it will give you a stock rom kernel and recovery so it won't say virgin mobile

It is worth the trouble if...
A. You know what you are doing.
B. You read and research.
C. You know how to recover in the event something goes wrong.
Flashing isn't for everyone. Even if you follow directions things can still go wrong in rare situations. That's just the nature of flashing.

[Q] Does rooting wipe?

So i have a lot of experience with htc's, and my dad has a Desire HD he wants to root so he can use Ad-Blockers etc... SO i read the sticky, but does it wipe the phone? I don't see it mentioned anywhere... Also can i just keep him on the stock rom, because it mentions flashing a new rom etc. and i don't want to do that.

Just delete the super user app. There should be an unroot option in there somewhere. You shouldn't need to worry about the recovery. But I believe there is a stock recovery in the non carrier branded forum

You could download this rom and once it's done downloading open the .zip up and delete Superuser.apk from either /system/app or Data/app. Then when you boot up it should look normal enough. After that you could just flash a stock recovery
IMO that's your best option since I haven't seen a ruu yet.

Please Help me Dudes
Yo
I have a quick question for the administrators. I was on Cyanogenmod with TWRP Recovery on my Htc one M8, i did everything stock (installed 2.22.401.4 odexx stock rom, with stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and turner S-ON) Now i have OTA update and when i click install now it shows red triangle and the update fails. When i go into recovery it shows something like 2.22.401.4 "something is wrong or missing something-i dont like to go into recovery to see again but i think you know this issue ) Can you please tell me what to do guys i dont want to sell my htc m8 and i want to get the OTA's in the future without any problem. Btw my phone is bought from T-Mobile Macedonia, where i wondered is this t-mobile RUU for all countries T-Mobile devices or just US?
I will be very grateful for your answers dudes.
Thank you in advance.
