[WIP][KERNEL][ROM] Wildfire S Virgin Mobile USA

Toggle sidebar Toggle sidebar
Followed instructions and everything works as described above.
Question: What is the best version of "QPST Configuration to use? Found a few versions out there. Might you include this program here (or a link to it)?

Thank you!
 
Newer ones are usually better. But don't really matter. The nv read only error is our radio still being s-on. But i cant link or post here against forum rules.

That's in there. As for everything else, I've dedicated my time to ics. I want to be the first ics booting wildfire s cdma

Excellent, let us know how it goes!

Some devs on XDA developers forums have something coming along nicely... pretty sure they have screens of it booting but it's extremely limited at this point - give it a look.
 
OMG! I NEED HELP in changing the PRL for faster Internet and better signal! it seems really difficult compared to s-offing and rooting the virgin mobile HTC wildfire S, which I did easily. Can you please make a video ? I don't understand the directions and I don't want to risk breaking my phone. Also can you please include the QPST file and PRL file. There's so many of them on google that I don't know which to download. It would be easier for me that way. Also, can you make new directions IN DETAIL like really IN DETAIL and email it to me? Please include all files for the PRL hack for better data speeds.
 
Root Explorer, goto the system/apps dir and delete what you want, reboot to recovery and clear delvik cache.

This said be careful what you delete you need some of these apps, so you may want to make a backup before playing.

I am posting this on behalf of Simon because it fixes issues in both hboot and recovery and it give you HTC developer support. It is important to follow these steps exactly and in order to avoid any headaches or complications. THIS IS ONLY FOR VIRGIN MOBILE USA WILDFIRE S USERS, IF ANY ONE ELSE TRIES THIS NEITHER ME NOR SIMON ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE!!!!!here it goes.

1. Download both of these files and put them in the same location as the adb file.
misc.img
flash_image
2 Open the terminal on your computer and enter the following
a. adb push flash_image /data/local/
b. adb shell
c. su
d. chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image
e. /data/local/flash_image /sdcard/misc.img
After this you should get a message that looks like this if you followed these directions correctly
(usage: /data/local/flash_image partition.img )

That is it your phone should not reset or anything and you will notice any obvious changes up front but it is recommended by Simon that you do this for it gives your phone HTC developer support. BUT ONLY IF YOU HAVE A VIRGIN MOBILE USA WILDFIRE S.
 
This next step is important to do after fixing the misc.img. This is the official bootloader update for the Virgin Mobile USA Wildfire S, it will give you the latest HBoot update and enable you to unlock your bootloader on HTC's website. After you download the file move it to the root of your SD CARD and boot into HBoot mode and select yes to update bootloader. ONLY FLASH THIS IF YOU HAVE A VIRGIN MOBILE USA WILDFIRE S, SIMON AND ARE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE. After that run got to the HTC Dev link and select unlock bootloader and follow the directions. That said here is the link posted at the request of Simon.

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_5eOCW-U-iXOTU4NDRmZWItOWU4Yy00ZGFkLTkxZDEtYmRhYzUwOWZiMGU4



And here is the HTC Dev site, go to the unlock bootloader option, register for an account and unlock your bootloader by following their directions

All testing was done by team marvelUSc, and there is a new kernel that will be coming up soon after more testing.

Oh and nvm, I changed the PRL easily. I took my sweet time but I did it. The only thing is that my internet is not going any faster than what I had before. It seems about the same. What is the difference between the 61007 and 60681 prl files? and how can i update to the lastest Sprint prl.

I want to thank all of you for your help and hard work making the files, Just a quick note, it would be helpful if you added a "Date" next to the file so users won't keep asking when a new file is released. That way they can see when it's updated.

Hi, I'm attempting to S-Off my HTC Wildfire S. I have followed all the steps and have successfully created the goldcard. But i am to step 13 and i have the files i am told to move, but when i select GOLDCARD (E:) i do not have a ROOT folder. I only have .android_secure and LOST.DIR. Am i missing something? What can i do to solve this?
