How To: Root the HTC Wildfire (Unrevoked Method)
I. Before You Begin
1. This is the easiest method available to root.
2. This method will also flash a custom recovery image so you can start flashing ROMs immediately.
3. On your computer, go to Start > Control Panel > Programs > and Uninstall HTC Sync if it is installed before you continue.
II. Root and Flash a Custom Recovery Image
1. Download the Unrevoked Rooting App
2. Double click the Unrevoked program you downloaded. If using Windows, then click on the file that appears called Hboot Driver and follow it’s instructions to install the modified HBoot drivers OR click here and download the drivers and install them manually.
3. Once the drivers are successfully installed, double click the Reflash program to open it.
4. Once the driver is successfully installed, turn off the phone by taking out the battery and putting it back in. Then push power to turn it on and get it to the normal home screen.
5. On your computer, right click the Reflash file and run as administrator. It should open Unrevoked and say “waiting for device”.
6. On your phone, click Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > and make sure USB Debugging is checked ON.
7. Plug in your phone into your computer via usb cable.
8. It should automatically locate your phone that is plugged in and you can just follow the prompts to continue.
9. Done! You are rooted and have a custom recovery image!
III. (Optional) Load a Custom ROM
1. Head over to our How To Load a Custom ROM procedure.
Big thanks to the Unrevoked Team!
My unrevoked is still at ‘waiting for device’. I’ve restarted the program a number of times and tried on both an xp and win 7 pcs, still doesnt seem to work…please help.
Kieran,
Did you do step 2 and install the HBoot drivers…
i too encountered the same problem please help it still hang at the ‘waiting for device’ i followed everyting in the video…..please reply asap
Thanks
This is rot. It works for Desire but not Wildfire, it just hangs at “Waiting for device” even though the driver is installed. What a waste of time.
Also tried it on windows XP and it failed too (in addition to win7 x32). What a dissapointing waste of time.
Still it shows waiting for device after doing all the things mentioned above .Please help!!!!
Will this method of rooting Wildfire work regardless of the Android version on the Phone ?? I’ve upgraded the phone to Froyo recently.
Yes
hai what is experiance of after upgrading to Froyo… will we get all HTC sense app works after that
Hi guys,
thank you for the tutorial! I want to root my Wildfire, and now I know how to do it properly 🙂
I just have one question left: is there any risk to absolutely destroy your phone (to make it unusable :p)? 😀
I followed all the steps very carefully, but it doesn’t recognize the phone and keep saying “waiting for device”.
I installed the drivers successfully. On the device manager there is now : other devices – ADB with a yellow sign. Is that ok?
Thanks.
Make sure HTC Sync is removed from the phone (it gets put on both the PC and the phone), by looking at Settings->Applications->Manage Applications and searching for HTC Sync. I too had the “waiting for device…” message but didn’t realise the app was still on the phone, confusing unrevoked3.
For me in the first step itself; when i double click the application downloaded; it does not ask for installing the driver; but direct opens the recovery reflash tool and waiting for device.
what should i do.
If you don’t get past the waiting for device screen, try installing and uninstalling HTC sync. Did the trick for me…
thanks for the guide!
no luck, tried many times; even removed windows firewall, did remove antivirus, did driver install many times; still waiting for phone.
is there a way to do custom recovery – can the clockworkMod Recovery image be downloaded separately and then do a custom recovery?
If possible; can you kindly post that image so that we can download and check? Without wi fi working; this phone is of no use.
kind regards

I used this method with my wildfire and have the following problem:
– I saw now problem during the process and got the unrevoked OK message.
– Now I got the recovery menu and I try to select nandriod or “reboot now” and all I get is a black screen.
– The only way I found to get out of this black screen is simply to take out the battery.
Do you have any idea what went wrong and how can I backup my phone?
Thanks,
T.
Try to use the trackball to select instead of power when in that menu… let me know if that works.
You made my day!
That worked perfectly.
Thank you very much,
T.
any idea about wildfire with the chinese froyo? Supposed to work too?
Success at last..
One small step that I am not sure if others are doing correctly or not – that was keeping me blocked at – waiting for device.
When HTC Sync is installed; it does install a Driver Software – HTC Driver Installer – that I was uninstalling when there was mention that HTC Sync need to be removed – THAT WAS CAUSING THIS ISSUE.
Hence any one new trying to fix this HTC screw up; please note the above.
It works exactly as in the instruction with no glitch;; wi fi turns on and off with no issue at all…
thank you for all your kind help.
Kindest regards
-venu
Do u mean i should leave the HTC driver Installer and just uninstall the HTC SYNC?
😛 i unistalled it but then also im getting error :O
Still got message “waiting for device”. Tried many times what you wrote, but still nothing. What it could be?
“Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.” – I didnt see such message about SD checking. Why????
I use wildfire
hi
I followed all the instruction on the video and I have the user permission icon but it doesn’t seem to be doing anything plz any help
What do you mean it isn’t doing anything? Be more specific. What root required app did you try to run and what error did it give you?
I have used unrevoked and I installed the drivers and I went through all the process until the done came up. I tried to use astro and cat file to copy fonts to system/fonts it didn’t accept it.
1) How do I know if my phone is rooted?(I already have the user permission icon)
2) How can I add fonts to my fonts folder?
sorry the done message came up.
Thx in advance TheUnlockr
When I get into ClockwordMod recovery and I want to scroll to nandroid, it doesn’t work and then it says: SD card mounted.. Then it automatically boots, and i didnt get the chance to make a backup?
Anyone knows what to do?
Just got a wildfire. Followed instructions to the letter and the following error comes up
Device “bee
” is not supported at this time
Thoughts?
I’m getting the same thing and I can’t find anything anywhere on it…
Has anyone found any information on this yet? Unrevoked will not let me root my Alltel HTC Wildfire (Bee)

Hi,
i have HTC wildfire, i used Windows 7 with unrevoked, done your tutorial i.e.
backup the files (tested restoring), download CM 6.1, everything works
but when i restart the HTC it or power off after installing CM 6.1 for wildfire,
it shows CM logo in the begining and keep repeating it
i waited for few times but i think HTC is hanging again and again and its not initializing the phone
any reason why its not able to restart properly?and hangs
Yes, you need to make sure you wipe data in recovery mode then immediately flash the rom. Try again, good luck.
hi the same problam i a i done and loadad android bootloder interface

Make sure you installed the hboot drivers in the beginning. Also try rebooting the computer after you reinstall the drivers.

Run the program in adminastrator mode
Dude! Go ahead and Download htc Sync and then uninstall the Sync Driver ONLY! That should work!
Thanks a lot! Install htc sync and cancell after dirver instlation was the only way to recongize my wildfire.

For those of you having the problem
‘device bee is not supported at this time’
i have some bad news.
I’m not 100% positive, but from what i was told, our ‘bee’ phones aren’t compatable with unrevoked… (yet)…? i had asked in IRC and according to them, the bee isn’t ready yet.
Hopefully this will save some searching for some of you, i know i put a good amount of time into it before i went straight to the source.

Good to know. I got the HTC Wildfire “Bee” Yesterday from Bluegrass Cellular. Unrevoked is not working as everyone is saying. Super One Click will root it to a point. It will allow for most rooted applications to work like Wifi tether, etc. Only thing is it does’t root deep enough to allow roms or other root required apps. So, hopefully unrevoked will get on it. I doubt there is any difference between Buzz and Bee and it’s probably just a portion of unrevoked that checks compatibility by names that doesn’t say “bee”. I could be wrong but who knows.
go on to unrevockted and download the desire 1 i tryed wildfire 1 loads of times and tryed desire by chance and it workes
go on to unrevockted and download the desire 1 i tryed wildfire 1 loads of times and tryed desire by chance and it workes
dose not support wildfire?
I got to step 4, and I manually installed the hboot drivers as per the unrevoked link, and got all the screens that the link said I was supposed to have.
However, after taking the battery out of the phone and plugging it back in, I get a message “Windows needs to install driver software for your My HTC”.
What mode should I be in for the PC connection – charge only, HTC Sync, disk drive?
I tried doing “Locate and install device drivers”, then it comes up with a prompt to insert a disc, and I selected “I don’t have the disc”, and manually navigated to the folder into which I’d downloaded hboot drivers, and then got a message “Windows was unable to install your device”, could not find driver software etc…
Any suggestions, please?

i have installed Hboot. But when i connect the phone with the computer again, it keeps forcing to intall program for ADB… What’s going on? It sucks!!!
Is Unrevoked aware of a bug which when the phone is rooted the green fully charged light doesn’t show, it shows the same yellow charging light? Has this bug been fixed yet?
Some questions :
– Can this break your phone ?
– Is there a way to backup the entire thing before you do anything so you can remove it all again ?
– Does this all still work after the Froyo (2.2) update ?
I don’t know a lot about these things but i’d love some extra features like live wallpapers with a custom ROM 🙂
hi i might be a bit silly here but i cant get my wildfire to root it restarts and unrevoked says communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted try again well after the 10th try its just not working plz help i am pulling my hair out
I was annoyed by this issue to! It’s easy to solve. You need to install HTC sync first. It will install some sort of driver that you need. After the installation you need to delete HTC sync but let the htc drivers stay on you computer. Now your’e ready to root!
Excuse me for the bad English!
Hi i just did turtiol from the video before. but i did not have my sd card in. it so it did not make backup what shall i do to do back up ???
How do i remove this again ?? i cant update to 2.2 🙁
The Htc Wildfire with 2.2.1 (Froyo) has yet not been rooted. This tutorial will only work for Android 2.1!
I’ve HTC Wildfire (Firmware 2.2.1) which I’m Unable to root with unrevoked. Have done some searching and found that new version of unrevoked will resolve this. So, does anybody knows when is that comin out?
I have a Wildfire that I bought in China (are there any specific instructions for Chinese units?).
I’m trying to install the Android USB Driver and when I restart my phone in HBOOT mode there is no option for HBOOT USB.
What I see are options for FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, SIMLOCK, and IMAGE CRC.
Is this an issue with Chinese units? I *think* I’m in the right area and trying to do the right thing, dunno.
connect your htc to usb and wait a bit and you will get Hboot usb plaged
Unrevoked wasn’t detecting the device, it was because i needed to install the the USB drivers.
So i downloaded HTC sync, started the installation, said ok to the part where it asks me to install certain drivers, and then quit the installation when it asked if i wanted to proceed with installing HTC sync.
And then i connected my phone again and unrevoked detected it 🙂
If your having trouble finding Hboot Then, Providing your on Windows 7, just open the Windows Menu (Start button) and type in Hboot in the Search Bar.
This pulled me back so i dont know if it will have for you guys.
Hope I helped.
i always get stuck at the unrevoked part they cant scan my device it keeps saying waiting for device pls help!!!!!!

HTC Wildfire (Android 2.2.1)
It does NOT work. I have Android 2.2.1 and HTC Wildfire and Windows XP. I did everything and got to the Android Bootloader Device but the UnRevoked still is stuck at the Waiting for Device. Unplug and replug no difference.
This is because the current version of Unrevoked Rooting App does not work for Android 2.2 and above. You should have read the comments! 😉
it stops while on “waiting for device” any advice
i tried several times bt it always says” is your firmware too new?”
how can i solve it?please help.
There is nothing you can do, but wait for the next release of the Unrevocked. The current version does not work for Android 2.2 and above. I had the same problem myself.
i also didnt get HBOOT usb option when i start phone with volume button pressing down.i have android 2.2.
This is because the current version of Unrevoked Rooting App does not work for Android 2.2 and above.

people i have sth to say but i might be wrong
it does not work on wildfire official 2.2.1 update
it tells me “is your firmware too new?”
Just so nobody wastes their time with this: if you have a Wildfire running android 2.2, your hboot version will be too new, and you will receive an error about that when the reflash program tries to root it. It seems the only way to root a wildfire with android 2.2 is to use some kind of physical device called ‘xtc clip’ i have no idea how it works or if it works.
I just tried rooting my HTC wildfire with updated android 2.2.1. unrevoked stopped functioning with the message ” waiting for root… (may restart if this doesn’t work)” what’s next? how long should this normally take? Thanks.

PLEASE anyone HELP me to root my HTC Wildfire 2.2.1
To all those having issues with being unable to detect phone: On the computer needs to be HTC Driver Installer it appears, which is downloaded with HTC Sync. So if you download HTC Sync (on your computer), uninstall it, then run Unrevoked, it should work. Good luck 🙂
this works perfect
This method won’t work for android 2.2.1, 2.2.1 was released to stop rooting, unrevoked are working on 3.33 which will hopefully support 2.2.1…untill then we wait…

Guys! I’m with HTC Wildfire and Android 2.2.1 . I followed all steps and when I got to the unrevoked3, it only says waiting for device… I run it with administrator but the same issue… Help, please ;[[
P.S. I can’t find that I have installed HTC Sync on my Pc..

unrevoked says “error: failed to get root. is your firmware too new?” please help me out of this . is ther any other way to root the updated 2.2 wildfire
Hey I have 2.2.1 and i understand that unrevoked is not compatible with that right now and downgrading to 2.1 is no use because the driver is too new………is there any way that i can downgrade the driver?if so please explain how…..
Thanks
For all of those having problems with shown above, I recommend installing again HTC sync (cause it will install again all the drivers you need), then uninstalling only HTC sync with ADD/Remove probgrams in Control Panel. I also had problems then with rooting my phone with unrEVOked, cause I didn’t have the option HSBOOT, so I finally managed to root my phone after using advices from these address

Dear friend First you hane to put The security off using this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833965 .Then use the program above and then root !!if yo u follow the steps it is absolutely sure that you “ll hane a rooted devise as mine!Now i have Cyanomd 7.1.0.1.Its the latest and one of the best out there.follow the steps one by one and do not be afraid of any damage .just follow the insructions!
Ok this is the progaram .USE THIS FIRST OF ALL!! AlphaRevX website.
Forget easy to follow.. I can’t even get past step 2.
how do you get on the rooting website i cant find it
I had some problems, but finally managed to get this done:
1. Make sure you do a factory reset. Otherwise you’ll get some errors.
2. Make sure nothing is sync-ing. This means turn off background sync, set your USB connection to Disk Drive
3. Set the USB debug as mentioned in the article.
Thanks for the walkthrough. I’m pimpin now.

actually an addition to this posting, ( now that i have a bit more time ) it’s a funny thing, I can set my htc wildfire s as a hard drive and can see the memory installed. I just couldn’t get htc sync to work at all, htc tech support wasn’t much help. i was hoping that this might help somehow to solve some of my problems with the phone. Can someone please help me here?
Thanx,

After installing HTc sync. with his usb driver and stuff. Everything worked with windows 7 (64bit) (you only have to uninstall the HTC sync sotware (not the drivers)
@Sjors check out your devise shows S-OFF ..Try on Xp only not on windows 7..First..on the xp first open the Unrekoved 3.3.2 then attache your HTC then automatically it install boot-loader on xp then it shows error ..your firmware new.then go to xda developers forum and download superone click and click on root..or watch my video on youtube ..search pappu8815 on youtube you will get my video..
