[HBOOT] HBOOT update for EU users who's having problem with RUU

Well as you can see I updated my wildfire S 2 or 3 days ago with OTA, so now when ever I try to flash the RUU from htcdev.com it fails be because "I Have a newer ROM version [ERROR 191]"
so I extracted the Zip file from the RUU and flashed from SDcard and it worked !
WARNING THIS IS ONLY FOR EU UNLOCKED FOLLOW THIS GUIDE AT YOUR OWEN RESPONSIBILITY
1- Moderator Edit link removed Multiupload is not supported as a file host site on XDA
2-Copy it to your Sdcard
3-Shutdown the phone
4-Start into Bootloader (Volume down + power)
5-Wait for it to Load the Zip file
6-chose yes (volume up)
And your done
now reboot and Delete the Zip file from Sdcard

I have an EU WFS, but getting the 171 error, will this help?

Two questions for you

1. Do you mean that you upgraded to 2.3.5 a couple days ago and that's why it won't flash the RUU? I was assuming I got ERROR 191 because I hadn't upgraded to 2.3.5 yet.
2. Were you getting the exact same message with the error code?
ERROR [191] ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED
Your ROM Version is not currently supported, but there will be an update soon that will be supported. You will receive a notification to update your phone to the latest ROM code.
After you have updated, please run the RUU again to upgrade your HBOOT to unlock your phone. We apologize for the inconvenience.​
Incidentally, the part number for my phone is the same as the generic EU phone: PG76100 so your method of installing the ROM should work the same.
Update:
I got through the HBOOT update using the tip posted in this thread. It worked like a charm, so apparently my 2.3.3 Asia ROM wasn't the problem.
So I want to say thanks for the trick also! Tomorrow I'll finish the unlock process tomorrow as it's already after 10:30 PM here.

So unlocked in this case means that only will work with a phone which is S-OFF?

No. It's for S-ON and does not provide S-OFF. Just unlocks HBOOT so you can flash custom recovery, root and flash new rom.

If you look carefully, when choosing WFS, it has a * on the side saying that you have to update your HBOOT.

Anyway...it is not working for me. I put the file on my memory card and boot into the bootloader. it seems to load but I just don't get an option to update.

Thanks a lot! It says HBOOT 1.08.0099 with a LOCKED (OOW) above it.
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: LOVE YA MATE! IT WORKED! I NOW HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! DDDD

tried this on mine and it says "Can not rollback HBOOT" then it bypasses the hboot update. It updates the radio just fine though.

I already clicked thanks but I want to SAY thanks anyway.
I had my phone with the latest European RUU 2.3.5 but as stated on the HTCDEV.com site I needed the HBOOT update.
I tried to update with the RUU download from HTCDEV.com but I had a crazy error, not like any seen around here.
It wasn't 171 or 191, it just seemed trash.
I'm almost certain that the RUU's that HTC makes aren't prepared for Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 users.
Back then when I updated to 2.3.5 (by football) I had to unzip the RUU and replace some ADB files with newer ones.
With the file extracted and updated it worked. I even posted an updated version here on XDA for people that were having problems like me.
So now that my bootloader is unlocked I will proceed with the next steps.
Still have a long way to go.
Thanks again for your file. It worked like a charm.

thanks now get the missus phone unlocked thanks

But first to install custom recovery and rom i have to s-off my device with the htc dev procedure right? hboot it s not enought

It doesn't S-OFF, it allows u to root, cwm and flash custom roms. It's like a half s-off, because it doesnt allow flashing radio i think.

It s strange,I don t belive it s possible to flash custom recovery and roms without a s-off.Flashing the h-boot it s only a way to have the unlock code in htcdev program,so then we can have s-off and load some stuff

[Q] HTC wildfire s unlocked S OFF

Hello ALL
I have just got a HTC wildfire s (on tesco ) and am going to it unlocked tomorrow,so my qustion is will this unlock the bootloader
or turn s off
Thanks for reading

If you are going to use an XTC Clip to unlock the SIM, it will also unlock the bootloader, at least, it did with mine

Thanks for your reply, I will be taking it to a shop to get it unlocked so I don't know what they will use to unlock it I will most Probably root the phone when it's unlocked

SOME ONE HELP ME WITH THIS PLEASE

You don't need to s-off it, just root it once you unlocked bootloader.

You have unlocked your bootloader, now you have to install clockworkmod on your device, look in the forums because there is a thread about it (can't remember where) once you did install clockwork you can install different roms by going into the recovery mode. In the recovery mode you can select a zip file and install your rom you wanted... No s-off needed, just an unlocked bootloader, there are also several root scripts

[Q] Unable Root HTCWildfire-A333

Hi Guys,
Having Problem in Rooting for my WildFire-A333.
Find Below are my Specifications.And Yes I tried both SuperClick and UnRevoked but it seems doenst work.
Model:HTCWildFire-A333,
S-ON(Unable to do S-OFF),
HBoot:1.02.0000,
Android 2.2.1,
Kernel Version:2.6.32.21-g6c55ee4
HELP!!!!
Thanks

How did you get that hboot, did the phone come with it? Never seen it before. Try to go to revolutionary.io and try to downgrade your hboot so you can s-off. After you have s-off you can then root and custom rom like mad ;-) if you can't downgrade the you can go to htcdev and get your bootloader *unlocked* but that will void your warrenty and they will definitely know about it.

Looks like you have updated the HBOOT from HTCDev site.
If yes you can use HTCDev site Bootloader unlock tool to unlock your bootloader which will make your device rootable. (it will still show S-ON though).

Nop,HBOOT came with this device itself.
i tried both htcdev,they says unable to bootloader for this ROM.

The HBOOT must have been updated somehow. Is it a new phone or did you get it second hand.
Did you try HTCDev method from the steps after the HBOOT update is done.

Nop its not updated it is as it is which i bought almost 1 year ago.
Its Not Second Hand
Yes I tried and result was unsuccessful.(ROM IS NOT SUPPORTED)
it says your rom version is not supported currently,but there will be an update soon that will be supported.
i have selected "hTC Asia India" as carrier. is it wrong??

I believe first you tried to update HBoot which failed then you tried to unlock bootloader without updating HBoot and that also failed.
If that is the case you have two options.
1. Search the forums to downgrade your HBoot to 1.01.0001, if you can successfully downgrade your Hboot you can use Revolutionary to get S-OFF.
2. Wait sometime to see if HTCDev site gets updated with support of your ROM and then try again.
Also if your existing ROM is India specific then you should select "HTC Asia India"
Mine is 2.25.720.1 CL299250 release-keys which is for India.

hello ,
i unlocked my bootloader using htc dev website ,and then i rooted the phone using gingerbreak v1.2.
the phone got rooted successfully but when i tried flashing CM7 on my phone ,through rom manager ,my phone restarted after asking superuser for permission .
after the restart , the phone hangs with a white screen with HTC logo .
i had flashed clockworkmod recovery before getting CM7 .
i tried going to recovery from bootloader and from pc .
please help guys ,i am really stuck in here .

sorry but this may help. Install CM7 using recovery not through rom manager. This may fix your problem.I hope =)

Hi.. u just try rooting your phone again using "unlockroot" one click tool(www.unlockroot.com) (as i did) or use htc super tool ...
Later install cwm recovery via fastboot method..plzz dont do it via rom manager as it just gives a temp recovery...
Then you can install custom rom's by going into cwm recovery..
IMP: make a backup of ur existing rom b4 flashing a custom rom and do a data reset b4 flashing..
hope this helps....

Still Not working Guys,please help I am just fed up with this message"low memory disk space"

Thanks. I have successfully flashed clockworkmod. Then I've made nandroid backup (and flashed cyanogenmode - it seems to be much more responsive).
The only alteration was that I have used the fastboot utility from Google Android SDK.

1) clockworkmod is custom recovery,it's most essential thing after unlocking your bootloader.
by this you can flash custom roms,mods etc.
2) HBOOT is when you remove battery and press power+volume down button.it's hboot menu by this you can select recovery,fastboot etc.
3) kernel is connect hardware to software.in short most essential thing in linux environment.
rooting any device is just you add root permissions.main job is unlock the bootloader then you can add custom recovery (clockworkmod)
that's it.after for root permissions you can flash root.zip (it's zip file contains one su binary and superuser app)
hope you get it.
so steps are :
unlock bootloader
flash custom recovery
add root permissions by custom recovery.

Why you are asking for S-OFF guide if you are already S-OFFed ??
S-OFF for One X is not available yet so there isn't any guide for it. And if you have an S-OFF device, you probably are among those lucky people who've got a factory S-OFF phone.

That means including of unlocking the bootloader

The Installation for s-on and s-off is the same?
I thought S-OFF don't need to flash the boot.img
So S-OFF devices only need an unlock, custom recovery.
They only need to flash the ROM but S-ON need to flash boot.img separate .
Isn't it right?

Its exactly the same as hofs said. Most Rom zips don't attempt to flash the boot.img in the installer script even though it would work with an s off phone.
Best off flashing the boot.img with fastboot if you don't know.
Restoring a nandroid will flash a boot though which is handy.
I put this together sometime ago which may be usefull to you.

Just lock up in HBOOT if your device is already unlocked...
If not then unlock your bootloader.
