Hi everyone,
I bought a Wildfire S this weekend and i've tried to root it. However, when I installed and opened the ROM manager app (v5.0.0.7), a window popped up that said:
"You must root your phone for ROM manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google Search on your computer to find instruction to root your phone."
So I've been googling for some days now, but haven't found a working solution yet. So I thought I might need some help.
I think it would be wise to first note all the information I can get about the phone. At hbooting it says:
*** UNLOCKED ***
MARVEL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.09.0099
MICROP-0451
RADIO-7.57.39.10M
Feb 8 2012, 18:29:31
then at software information it says:
Android version: 2.3.5
HTC Sense version: 2.1
Software number: 2.26.161.1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g696f19b htc-kernel@and18-2 #1
Baseband version: 47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M
And under the battery it says:
PG76100 5VDC===1A
FCC ID : NM8PG76100
It has a vodafone prepay (netherlands)
I started the day before yesterday by executing RUU's from htcdev.com, but none of them worked. With most RUU's I got the 190 error, but with "HTC EU" I got an 191 error, saying that my ROM was not supported and I had to wait for its RUU to come. I eventually proceeded with the next steps of unlocking the bootloader on htcdev.com, and in fact everything went as they described it. My phone gave a screen that asked if I wanted to onlock it, I choosed yes, and my phone rebooted with the basic skin, etc.
After that I downloaded HTC Super Tool v3. I ran it, did the sergRush Prep, after that the Attempt Perm Root (all while the phone was on and on Disk Drive). The latter gave the following text:
Loading root script......
pushing BusyBox...
changing permissions...
mount: permission denied <are your root?>
/system/xbin/busybox: cannot open for write: Read-only file system
Unable to chmod /system/xbin/busybox: No such file or directory

rm failed for /system/xbin/su, Read-only file system

Pushing Superuser.apk
And then it screamed ROOTED with flashy colours at me. Then I rebooted and ROM manager still gave me that message. Does it mean that system/bin/su and system/xbin/su don
