[q] why wont install any RUU on my phone? help

---

i want to root my wildfire but before doing it i want to be shure i could unroot it just in case i will ned warranty support.

so im trying to install the ruu, ive an italian small carrier wildfire, ive tried the h3g (that is not the phone carrier) and ive tried the generic wwe htc ruu (not thhe one for asia), different versione 14, 25, 37 but its not working anytime.

this is what happen when i run the ruu: the ruu after running says is waiting for bootloader, after waiting one minute it says error 171 usb connection so at this time the phone is in boot mode with the black background and the big htc write. i restart the ruu and this time goes on, but after saying its copying the firmware gives again error 131 client id and stop. after this the phone restart.

what can i do? do this means that theres no ruu for my phone to restore so i cant root or if i will i just wont be anyway able to unroot and will lose any warranty support?

Error 131 is generally issued when you have a specific operator Wildfire. You will need to create a goldcard to install the generic RUU then. Is your wildfire operator locked?

the only carrier customization is that theres only the carrier logo when the phone start up for the first seconds on the screen but the phone has no carrier lock or any other lock and no other customization, its totally a free lock phone.

just the phone is bought from a carrier that is like H3G and the froyo update too its not yet been released cause the carrier should do it.

its hard to do the goldcard? and if i restore the phone with a ruu that is not from the same carrier i will lose warranty support? only italian ruu ive found is from H3G, i know this is a totally not customized rom from H3G. Should i lose the warranty as this is anyway a factory ruu that will install the factory rom and is italian too?

Creating Goldcads is easy. There is a guide here on XDA, Just search for it.

As for whether you will lose warranty or not if you flash a WWE RUU, there is no way I can answer that, because, different companies follow different rules across the globe. Ex: Here in India, I am pretty sure they wont be bothered which RUU you have, as long as it is an RUU. (Coming to think of it, they are so unbothered they may even accept WF's with Custom ROMs )

calling htc tech support in italya they told me i cant change the ruu, if i put a different one i will lose warranty

theres a way to save the rom in my phone to revert to it? or theres a way to save the OTA to 2.2 that i will receive (i think this month) from my carrier to use it to revert to the official rom? or any other way to find my ruu from my carrier to download it from htc or web?

There is a way to backup the original ROM, but, that requires root itself. (Nandroid, available in ClockWorkMod). Since there is no RUU available for your carrier, and, since warranty support seems important to you, I would recommend you keep your phone as it is.

Also, one more thing, when you update to 2.2 OTA, you will lose the ability to root.

yes i know but i think soon there will be a wildfire 2.2 new unrevoked version so if i can save or download the ota to use it like a ruu i could update to 2.2 than root and use the old ota to restore the phone

the first reason i wanted to root the phone was to increase the cpu, theres no way to do it with the unrooted phone right?

actually i think i got to wait

I would actually wait till the tool releases, before updating to the new OTA, because, there is a lot of uncertainty when the new Unrevoked will release. As for downloading the OTA, I dont think there is a way again (atleast as far as I know) , if it is not listed at Shipped ROM's. If you download it, it installs itself.

Correct. It most certainly requires root.
