Root Unrevoked3: Is your firmware too new?

"Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?" with my Wildfire, in charge only, hard disc drive, after a factory reset, root on my desktop and debug mode on my phone.
KO with Revolutionary, too.

Does anybody have the unrEVOked 3.21 for Linux please?

welcome to the forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
moved you to the wildfire rooting section.

you will most likely be needing to use Revolutionary to get you rooted. here is the wiki for revolutionary:public:revolutionary [RootWiki]

I'm trying to downgrade before retrying.
Let's see...

EDIT: Downgrading fail...

[TUTO] Downgrade HTC Buzz/Wildfire 2.2.1 HBOOT 1.01.0002 - Forum de FrAndroid

Step 2 is impossible.

You can use the link in my signature, scroll down till you find my post, ive made it easier to downgrade your hboot

Dude you have to downgrade your hboot to root your Wildfire or you wont get full root.
It is possible because ive rooted 2 Wildfire's perfectly.

Anyways...
You have to Goldcard your SD card using the GoldCard Tool
Then you can downgrade your hboot
