Interesting, so there is a new Froyo ROM Base for the Wildfire (2.43). I would probably give it a go, but HTC didn't send me a confirmation EMail on 1 Yahoo Account, and 2 GMail Accounts, so I CBA to try it out anymore.

EDIT -It worked, using a disposable E-Mail service. Lesson learnt.

Lol wouldn't work for me either, do we have a new froyo rom then or just a hboot update? I'm confused.

It's not there. I got a bit intrigued seeing ploppy's signature (2.43?) and also there was someone who got a FOTA when he was already using the safe Flash Froyo ROM (2.22.405.1). But HTCDev's RUU List only contains 2.22.405.1 with an updated HBoot (1.02.0000) for WWE Phones.

Let me clear this mess up. The RUU update HTCDev tells you to flash an update prior to unlocking bootloader. It updates base from 2.22.405.1 to 2.43 and HBOOT to 1.02.0000. HBOOT says S-ON, but I can fastboot flash and everything! I even flashed CWM! So, I will probably try to root the stock ROM, as I am interested to dig in to 2.43. Strangely, it still shows up as 2.22.405.1 in Settings but RUU flasher says it's 2.43.

Do you still have the complete name of the RUU you flashed prior to unlocking? The only WWE RUU I can find has the following details:

Carrier - HTC WWE
ROM - 2.22.405.1
File Name -PC4910000_Buzz_Froyo_hboot_1.02.0000_R3.exe

Is this the RUU that gives you 2.43 (Inspite of the site saying it is 2.22.405)?

Yep. Fired up VMWare Fusion and the RUU has the exact same name. I rooted this baby with Gingerbreak, though I had to reboot manually. Will see if Titanium Backup works.

EDIT: Mission Complete. Root works now. Feel free to unlock your bootloader with this tool. Will post a full guide later for lazier people.

Alrighty then. Cheers for clearing that up

A (stupid) question.
I unlocked my HTC Wildfire with the "AlphaRevX" beta, the same day when it released: should I lock it and then unlock it with "rEVOlutionary"?
Are there some advantages with "rEVOlutionary"?
Could the "AlphaRevX" bring some bugs on the device?
Thank you.
Bye!

No advantages, in my opinion. Though you should have.started a new thread, this is for the HTC tool

I wrote "Should I lock it and then unlock it with "HTC Unlocked tool"? Are there any differences with "AlphaRevX" or "rEVOlutionary" tool?", than I read it (I imagined it) and my question is changed

.
Thank you.

But i read that there is no way to go back....

Interesting...
Does anybody know if /system /data and /cache partitions are resizable after unlocking the bootloader with this method? Or do I need to S-OFF with Revolutionary to be able to resize them?
Thanks!

Returning to hboot 1.01.0001 after unlocking

For those of you who have used HTC Official Unlock method only to discover that it is not for them, there is a solution to this.

1. Downloaded the buzzdowngrade.rar (Available here http://www.multiupload.com/HRN3YFTX2T )
2. Extract and go to the folder
3. follow the steps to downgrade your bootloader, most likely will not complete, but should go far enough to change your hboot back to 1.01.0001 so that you con use revolutionary to unlock.

For me revolutionary is a far better solution.

I Haved used HTC Dev unlock method and regretting it just allows you to installing a custom recovery . you can view system files cant modify it

Thats because the HTC Dev Bootloader still has S-On so the phone NAND protection has remained.

Use AlphaRev or Revolutionary as this will Unlock the bootloader and S-Off your device!http://revolutionary.io/
