Hey, some of the applications are still not visible on the appbrain app list. When I open them, it says, not available. Any solution?

All in all, even though I love this phone, but I was disappointed slightly :| So many apps are not supported on it because of the low resolution. No games supported, ok but so many apps also!

I was actually waiting for the desire to come to India but bought this one giving the hopes up. The irony, Desire released 2 weeks after <_<

But, now I think, Samsung Galaxy S would have been hell better with just 5k more.

Sorry if i am wrong!
RUU will be flashed through usb, not from sd, and WWE stands for World Wide English, i think you have to choose Asia

No need for 3rd party applications. Clear instruction is in the manual which can be downloaded from HTC website.

You can update to Froyo by flashing with some custom ROM (Cyanogen, Wildpuzzle, Openfire) or use Chinese RUU, but you can't get root then, as for now.

HTC Sync is not working, because you haven't enabled USB Debugging in Settings of the phone. It is written in the manual how to do it, as I remember. :)

    I have problem with flashing. Somewhy, I cannot get my ADB driver installed correctly. Can you help me with that too? :p

    follow the following steps carefully and hopefully you will have no problem in the end. :)
    Please note that following method applies for windows users only

    Steps to Set Up ADB on Windows:
    1. Download latest version of Android SDK (http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html).
    2. Download and install Java Runtime Environment (https://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHO...ProductRef=jre-6u20-oth-JPR@CDS-CDS_Developer) or Java Development Kit (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6-jsp-136632.html) if you want to develop Android apps as well.
    3. Extract the zip file (android-sdk_r07-windows.zip) you downloaded in step 1 to (C:) drive such that android-sdk-windows directory in (C:) drive contains SDK Manager.exe.
    4. Click on Available Packages from the left panel and select USB Driver Package, revision 3 from the right panel.
    5. Click on Install Selected button, accept the License Agreement and let SDK Manager download the USB drivers for your phone. Click Close button when done.

    6. For Windows 7/Vista Users:
    Navigate to My Computer (Icon)->Properties (Link)->Advanced System Settings (Link)->Advanced (Tab)->Environment Variables (Button)->System variables (Section)->Path (Variable)-> Edit (Button)-> Variable value. Enter the following value.

    C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

    7. For Windows XP Users:
    Navigate to My Computer (Icon)->Properties (Link)->Advanced (Tab)->Environment Variables (Button)->System variables (Section)->Path (Variable)-> Edit (Button)-> Variable value. Enter the following value.

    C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

    8. Connect your phone in USB debugging mode and let the Windows install the USB drivers for your device.
    9. Thats it! You are done. Open command prompt and type adb devices to see the list of devices attached to your computer or type adb shell to go into adb shell mode.

    hi all

    i am using HTC wildfire in india
    i resent update froyo 2.2.1
    my phone is S-ON any help for how to root my wildfire
    my android version 2.2.1
    baseband version 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10
    kernel version 2.6.32.21-g6c55ee4
    build number 2.25.720.1
    HOW TO ROOT
    pls help me

    THANKS

    You can't, at the moment.

    One method can be to find someone with an XTC Clip, get the phone in S-OFF, then root. But, I havent seen any Indian XTC clip owning member post so far.

    Hi All

    Noob to Android here. Trying to root Wildfire
    HBoot 0.80.0003
    Radio 3.35.15.31
    Firmware is 2.1 update 1

    Have tried using unRevoked 3 but keeps dropping out and asking for retry.
    Have installed HTC Sync for drivers and then uninstalled prog. Have also installed Hboot drivers. Am running WIn 7 HP 64. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

    Stransky
    (Douglas Barr)

    Try using an older Version on Unrevoked. (3.21 or earlier), and , make sure you are following the guide properly:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=824396

    I am going to use the xtc clip to go for s-off. Unfortunately I got the official 2.2 with the 1.01.0001 hboot (that's what called new hboot I guess) and 3.35.20.10 radio.

    What rom do you propose? I would like the sence to be installed. What complete packages including rom+recovery+kernel+cpu speed would you suggest?

    Thank you

    Personally, I have used WildPuzzle, Sunnabh and InsertCoin, all 3 work well. For Recovery, the Stock Clockworkmod 2.5.x installed by Unrevoked should be fine, since you are using Sense based ROMs. In case of the kernel, you only have two choices really, the stock one, and, Jacob's HCDR Kernel, which allows Overclocking. CPU Speeds upto a max of 691 - 710 and min upto 245 should do fine.

    What is buzz? do u mean HTC Wildfire ?

    Yes, Buzz = Wildfire. It's the "internal" name of the device.
