You must have root , S-OFF and SuperCID
But I haven't 10 posts already, so I can't make thread with tutorial

You gotta get S-off by rooting it. flash a custom rom and done.

You can get Root AFTER S-OFF
But if You men Temp-root, then S-OFF and then Perm Root your right!

Need some help please...

Hi guys,
I bought HTC wildfire S... Its a branded Australian version as i see 'NEXT' network logo on phone and box...
It has been unlocked coz i am using a different network in Asia...
Since it doesn't come in warranty, i want to Root it, and start installing custom roms on it..i know much about HTC sensation coz i own that too and have good knowledge of Android stuff...
Can someone tell me what should i do to Root it?
I saw in forums here that unlocking bootloader is via HTCdev and xtc clip...
I don't care about loosing warranty stuff but i want to enable ROOT and flash custom roms and remove the NEXT network animation on boot and remove all bloatwares..
Unlock bootloader and then root the phone. tutorials are in the forums.

Yes i know... But where to begin?
HTCdev method is only option for me as i don't have xtc clip
i don't know of HTC Dev will have bootloader unlock for a branded Australian wildfire s....
To be honest, if you look around on all the topics their are plenty of solutions on what to do with unlocking and rooting....

How to Root HTC Wildfire S 2.3.5

Hi
I have read all your post and replies. This is not any other post, m posting this after going for hours through your forum.
I have tried the new HTC Any root method, doesnt work. I rooted htc incredible s it rooted it, but with wildfire s it give error of out of memory. i made a space of 93mb in system memory, but still didnt work.
I have tried to update bootloader from HTC dev site, but my software version is 2.26.401.3, and no ROMs are yet available for this.
I have specifically searched wildfire s forum and have tried all the rooting methods but failed.
I have also tried the specific blog for htc wild fire s method but failed.
Kindly advise one method for which i can root htc wildfire s with above specifications.
Or can it be rooted at all?
I shall be very thankful.

Hi Ali well I rooted my wfs yesterday. Here's what I did.
1. Get ur bootloader unlocked from htcdev (just register and start following the steps, *Skip the RUU step*)
2. Restart ur wfs in hboot (by pressing power button and volume down)
3. Select fastboot and enter the cmd instructions.
4. Copy and paste the string and send it to htcdev for ur unlock key.
5. Follow the remaining steps to unlock the bootloader.
6. If. Your device is S-Off then go ahead with the root if it's S-ON then use the universal exploit and make sure that u have the original SD card inserted when using the universal exploit.
Hope this helps

Well according to your own post you already have hboot 2.00.0029 which is the one from htc dev, you need to unlock it using the unlocktoken.bin from htc dev, you did follow ALL the instructions at htc dev including the email they sent you,?
Once you unlock bootloader flash a custom recovery best one is probably 4ext
Flash a new new rom then flash the boot.img.
Look around the forums for more info.

Well, that it is easy to solve. Relock your bootloader by booting in fastboot and typing:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then run the script. :good:

Your s-off, this takes priority.
Just flash ROM direct after full wipe.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
You are S OFF that's the idea behind AHHK2! To check that - power off your phone, then power it on with volume key down pressed, see the info on top of the screen it should say "... S-OFF..."
S-Off, Make Sure you did the Mandatory Wipes

Root
