@justing yes buddy you can surely update the phone

yes justin there is no need for rooting if you will not be using hard core apps which require you to root your device so as to get the root access.
hmm thanks, i just want to install another ROM to save battery, the battery drain so fast or do u have any tip ? help me
hi!!!
I have bought htc wildfire three months back……..and updated it to 2.2 froyo……but it is very slow….
and the battery life is also not up to the mark………..I don hv any idea abt rooting a phone…..but i wan t to root my wildfire……which ROM i sd best one??
After rooting will i be able to get back my default htc’s rom and ui if at all i m nt satisfied wid custom rom???
hi @amrit, sorry to hear that you are facing your issues with the current ROM, i would like to tell you that rooting is a different thing and flashing is a different thing. Rooting just opens up your device so that you can customize the device whereas with flashing you can update or add a new rom to your device. we have noted your request and soon will come out with a solution for you. Till then stay tuned to androidadvices

Anyone have any suggestions?
I am getting the same message. I have an Aria (updated to 2.2 Froyo). Thoughts?
What is the password to unzip the driver files?
I downloaded the modified usb driver, through there doesn’t seem to be any installation file.
When I Hbooted my phone and plugged it in to the usb port I do not get the message “HBOOT USB PLUG”
I also cannot find other devices where you said it should be. What am I doing wrong. Please email me. Thanx
check with the path where you placed the file as HBOOT is unable to find that file!
