I found this windows utility which will help you to root the wildfire easily. I have not tried this myself. But, the wildfire is listed under compatible phones.

here is the website,

And, here is an article in Cnet which also has a small guide.

Please, feel free to provide feedback, as it will help others...

Much easier tool to root devices, starters may obviously use this, if it works?
I've not even tried it myself

there are or were 2 ways of rooting a Wildfire [buzz] the latter you had to default to if the best one didnt work or wouldnt take on your revision - i have 2 wildfire one unrooted and the other rooted via the second method - i may try and brick the second one with this method - the only thing annoying about the Buzz is the 2SD to get any reasonable storage from it.

when i try to enter in recovery mode i get a black backgorund with a phone and a red alert alarm

I think you're still in stock recovery. Try flashing CWM.
Find a PC49IMG.zip (look in development section) and copy to SD. Boot into the Bootloader, it'll detect the zip. Choose yes. it'll install it.
This will give you CWM recovery.

I just tried, didn't work.

I put on the main root of the SD but the phone didn't detected PC49IMG.zip and so it didn't ask me to install it
