u mean HTC asia india???
also wanted to ask
a) will rooting clear out my sd cards content also??
b) will my phone look normal even after i root
sorry but i am a complete noob to all this...
No. Your data will be erased in any operation requiring a factory reset, such as installing a new ROM.if i install clockwork recovery mod, will my phone data get erased??
Congrats! Don't worry about Market updating to Play. It will happen eventually.I finally rooted my phone... proxydroid also working fine!!
problem is market is not updating itself to google play... what do i do???
Ok.. thanks for that. So now that my phone is rooted, i can use titanium back up pro. can this app back up my game data also??No. Your data will be erased in any operation requiring a factory reset, such as installing a new ROM.

I can not even begin to say what a HUGE help you're post has been!
I downloaded the HTC Asia RUU, and my phone's all rooted (but sadly still S-ON)...
But that's not the point. Here's the thing: Whenever I download the PG76.zip image file, the flasboot thing always gives me a cid error. It says incorrect cid. What do I do?
2. Boot the phone into HBOOT. (You are a pro at this by now, right? ) After it scans for PG7610.zip, select FASTBOOT and press the power button then connect the USB cable. The word FASTBOOT will change into FASTBOOT USB. If not, then either your USB drivers for the Wildfire S or Android SDK Tools is not installed properly.
I really dont have any idea about the custom roms. can u suggest a link for that. how will i come to know how will my phone look like???
also while flashing clockwork mod's image file, firstly it scans for some PG file but doesnt find anything..
secondly when i type the command in the prompt, it says the command fastboot is not valid.. ??????
plss help..
Gareeh,see this is the problem I have
just a case of need to try it on a different pc?
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Using_the_Recovery said:Hold Volume Down & the Power button until the device boots to the bootloader.
heyy... i fixed it myself... I copied the image file of the cwm to the " android " folder which contained the files fastboot, adb.exe etc... then i navigated to that directory and then typed that command and then it happened!!He missed a section which is not entirely included in the pre-requisites of this tutorial.
Go to this link and skip down to "How do I set up my Windows PC to use adb and fastboot?".
This link is not specifically for the WildFire S model, but it worked well for me as a quick fix.
I'll be sending a message to both the thread OP and a mod for their opinions on this mislead.

even though i'm already rooted? will it wipe data from my sd?
Confirm one thing for me, that you successfully updated your bootloader. When you start the phone in HBOOT do you see ***_LOCKED_(OOW)_***?see this is the problem I have

That's why I like the SDK Tools guide I posted in the OP. They have you change the environment variables in Windows so that adb commands work anywhere in Windows as follows:heyy... i fixed it myself...

It's an extra step, but saves a lot of head scratching.[FONT="]6. Go to the Control Panel, and select the System Properties (Windows XP) or System (Windows Vista/7). [/FONT] [FONT="]
7. Select the Advanced settings; [/FONT]
[FONT="]8. Click on Environment Variables. [/FONT]
- [FONT="]Windows XP:[/FONT][FONT="] Click on the Advanced tab. [/FONT]
- [FONT="]Windows Vista/7:[/FONT][FONT="] Click on Advanced system settings on the left. [/FONT]
[FONT="]9. Under the "System variable" section, you will look for "Path". Double-click on it. [/FONT]
[FONT="]10. In the "Variable values" section, add at the very end the location of the tools & package-tools folder, with a semicolon separating these two paths from the rest, e.g. %SystemRoot%;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools.[/FONT]
Ya... now that cwm is installed, do i have to do a factory reset before i do a backup??That's why I like the SDK Tools guide I posted in the OP.

Noooo!!!! That would defeat the purpose of the backup because you'd lose all your data.Ya... now that cwm is installed, do i have to do a factory reset before i do a backup??
Yes, backup up your stock ROM now so you can revert to it's current state later if you have problems.can i backup my current state so that if in future if something happens, i can restore to stock WITH my current apps n all still installed???
