hey but it says its not rooted please help because when i use htc supertool it says phone rooted but when i try to flash custom rom it denies
Has anyone confirmed this to work yet? I have the WFS (Marvel) and I was able to unlock Bootloader using google search tips; HOWEVER still stuck with S-ON. Some say that you can only TRULY s-off with the xtc clip… Anyone know better about this? I’m trying to avoid having to pay to have this done. Kind of a design flaw on their part, and the clip is shipped from overseas (I think) and runs about $40-75. Ready to test out my 9 Iron on this phone.
[…] Wildfire S needs to be rooted and ClockWorkMod Recovery must be […]
when i put fastboot oem get_identifier_token and press enter it just says waiting for device and does not do anything , can you please help me ?? or someone that did this already
greatly appreciate it
on the terminal after I write fastboot oem get_identifier_token , it says waiting for device … and no answer.And yes,I have drivers,Htc sync and tried many times :) Help ! I get rid of this memory is full |-(
Be sure that your phone is In fastboot mode …that is …by holding volume key down and power key once….then select fastboot , NOW TRY TO GET TOKEN …
Yeah… still didn’t work
‘waiting for device’ means, something wrong with your driver. uninstall HTC Sync & HTC driver, reinstall HTC sync, Restart pc and try again.
hi,
thanks for posting the procedure…..it was very helpful until i unlocked my htc wildfire S with having the S kept on. after that using supertool V3, it says on the app that the phone is rooted, but when i backup the phone, then install rom manager or other root phone based apps, it says a rooted phone is required to carry out the functions.
so what is it? is my phone not rooted? then what other way could i root the phone?
expecting a helpful answer….
thanks.
ROM Manager won’t work because there is no Official CWM available for the Wildfire S. Just flash the Unofficial CWM by Alquez.
