Guide to Unrooting and S-ON’ing the HTC Wildfire to fix errors [170] / [171]​


Hi everyone,

This is a guide I made through my experience of Unrooting and S-ON'ing the HTC Wildfire. This also works for people who have tried multiple times and still have the ERROR [170] or ERROR [171] USB CONNECTION ERROR. I had this error and used these steps to fix it. :)

*** I do not take any responsibility if your phone fries or explodes during the process. No, seriously I don't take any responsibility if your phone gets bricked. This worked for many people, including me ***

1. Uninstall Android SDK from Control Panel (Start>Programs>Uninstall a Program).

2. Uninstall hacked HBOOT drivers (Start>Device Manager – Right Click on the driver and click “Uninstall”

3. Uninstall HTC Sync and all drivers that came with it.

4. Download CCleaner here.

5. Run CCleaner and do a full scan.

6. Do a full registry scan after backing up the registry.

7. Re-install HTC Sync.

8. Reboot your computer. (Do not skip this step)

9. Connect your phone to the computer via “Charge Only”.

10. Disconnect from the internet so that Windows Update won’t try and install the driver software all over again.

11. Enable USB Debugging on your phone (Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging).

12. Start the RUU and go through the steps. The device should reboot and come up with the HTC logo and a progress bar until its completion.

Your phone has only now restored to the stock ROM and has been unrooted. The device still has the bootloader unlocked. In the next steps we will restore the phone back to an S-ON state. This is for people who used to have HBOOT 1.01.001. If you had 1.01.002, you should restore from a pre-rooted nandroid Backup​

1. Download the "fastboot" files below
.
2. Extract the zip to C:\fastboot.

3. Click Start and type "cmd" and then enter (obviously)

4. In cmd type cd\ (backward slash after cd, not forward slash)

5. Type cd fastboot. You should now be in the directory C:\fastboot

6. Type the following into cmd:

C:\fastboot>fastboot oem mb 9C068490 1 30

and then enter.

It should say:
...OKAY

7. Then type

C:\fastboot>fastboot flash hboot hboot_buzz_7225_1.01.0001.nb0

and then enter.

It should say:
sending 'hboot' (512 KB)... OKAY
writing 'hboot'... OKAY

8. Reboot into the bootloader. It should say BUZZ PVT SHIP S-ON and the HBOOT version should be 1.01.001.

You have successfully reverted your phone back to stock settings and the stock ROM!​

OK. Install the Android SDK. I would send you the link but am on my phone now. Google "Android SDK" and find the installer. Open a new tab. Google "Java JDK". You will need this to get the SDK. Install the latest version. Once it finishes, install the SDK into the default folder. Open the SDK once it finishes. A pop-up menu will come up asking you what SDK Platforms to install. Scroll down until yousee something like Android USB Drivers. Check that. Let it install and try again when it finishes.

OK. Don't worry, no one gets an RUU prepackaged with their phone. ;)

Google "shipped ROMS". Find the buzz (Wildfire). Find the newest Vodafone UK RUU. The radio version should be 3.35.20.10. Use this RUU :)

Did you boot the phone into fastboot? Vol down + power button then select fastboot.

CCleaner method Not working

I was using my Wildfire A3333 with S-off and root access.
But yesterday, i accidently ran RUU of HTC Wildfire S and lost all of My data along with orignal software. And the worst part is that I forgot to take a nandroid Backup Before running RUU. To make my phone active, I downloaded a stock ROM which was not working Properly. N now, whenever I am trying to run any RUU, It says 'waiting for bootloader' and then Error 171 appears........
Please Help I am dying.................................................................

Yes, Yes, Yes!

Awesome guide mate, so awesome in fact that you've triggered my first post since joining in April 2006!! I've had a hardware fault with my Wildfire for months and months, but couldn't get it fixed due to the mods. I tried many times to restore it to stock but failed miserably on each occasion. This guide worked a treat, the only thing I would add for those trying to follow this guide, is that you need to be in bootloader (Fastboot USB) to flash the HBOOT for S-ON.

Many, many thanks!

    okay, but how can I get back to HBOOT 1.02.000?
    is it safe to use the same method but I do fastboot flash hboot1.02.000.nb0?
    I found one over here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Wildfire:_Support_Downloads

    because my phone originally have that version,
    I'm afraid that my warranty will be void if they know that I changed HBOOT version.

    Yep, it's safe. Although they won't know, you can do it just in case, but it will make your next root slower and more tedious. But that is your choice, if you want to flash HBOOT 1.01.0002, go ahead and flash it.
