Reflash HTC Wildfire, 3 Net Locked

---

Hey Guys, My HTC wildfire is net locked to 3, i have tried several times to install a custom rom via unrevoked 3 tool.

This is the process i went through:

downloaded rom(s) - have tried several
copied to SDcard
ran unrevoked 3
backed up
reset to factory settings + then wiped cache partition
install from SDcard > navigated to zipped rom
installation flashed up for a second then quit, does this everytime on any rom
reboot

checked software name everytime and is only coming up saying 2.1-update 1

any ideas on how i can get either unlocked 2.1 ROM or 2.2 ROM installed? is there anything i am doing wrong / missing

many thanks

You need to first debrand your WF. You do this by creating a Gold card.

I did mine by the Modaco method.

Google debrand wildfire and you'll see.

Good Luck

Ok nevermind, have found it, many thnks, now sitting with my debranded phone, flash time

Hmmh, still the same result when i came to flash the ROM. It opens then quits a second later. I now have a debranded phone.

Any ideas?

Well I can't offer you a solution but I can tell you that my Wildfire works on 3 without any need for the gold card method. Make sure you have added 3 network settings in wireless network settings. Sometimes custom ROMs don't pick this up.

Also, at the risk of sounding insulting, make sure you have paid your bill. I thought I had my bill set to direct debit but either the 3 customer service goons failed at setting this up or my bank wouldn't allow it. So for a couple of days I was thinking that my custom ROM wasn't working but actually it was 3 had cut me off.

just a small point here but a fairly substantial one, i am talking about flashing the wildfire to a different ROM, not having network issues, your comment was unhelpful as perhaps you did not read the original post. Thanks

Can anyone help?

Try reflashing as I had that problem once. And try a different memory card as I have killed 3 mem cards upto now!

Just a small point here but a fairly substantial one, you said it was net locked, as in network issue.

Did you click install zip from sd card or apply update.zip
