Wildfire 2.2 Root, finally made possible!
After some hours of searching and experimenting I managed to root my Wildfire running 2.2 Froyo. This was not possible until the Alpha Rev guys made S-off (security off) a reality. So I am so excited and I would like to share my experience and a small tutorial with you.
Tutorial (about 10-15 mins)
First, go to the Alpha Rev X Beta page and download the binary for your OS (both Linux and Windows are supported, tested on Linux).
Wait with the form opened because you will need it in a while.
Go to the downloaded file and extract it in the downloads folder.
Run the extracted file (for Linux use ./<downloads-directory>/alpharevx).
It asks you for a key.
Now go back to the form you left open (if you didn't just do again the first steps) and type in the serial number indicated in the installation (alternatively you can find it from the device settings).
For the bootloader version start your device while holding the Volume-Up key and you will find it there.
Copy the generated key and paste it to continue the installation.
In about 1-2 minutes it will say that the process completed successfully. Security is off now, so we can root the device.
Download the GingerBreak-v1.20.apk from here.
Copy it to the phone's SD card and install it using a common file explorer like File Expert.
Now start GingerBreak, making sure SD card is mounted and USB Debugging is enabled.
Wait a couple of minutes and yeah! The phone is rooted!
If the phone is not restarted automatically and an error message is displayed, do not worry, restart it manually and you are ready to go!

Αρχή
Κι έτσι άρχισαν όλα.
Βασικά θα δείξει. Σ' αυτό το blog σκέφτομαι να γράφω οτιδήποτε θέλω να μοιραστώ, από απόψεις, προγραμματιστικές τεχνικές μέχρι και συνταγές μαγειρικής ίσως (μη φοβάστε, πλάκα κάνω, δεν θέλω το κακό σας...).
Αυτά λοιπόν για την ώρα. Ελπίζω κάποια στιγμή να αρχίσω να γράφω και να έχουν και κάποιο ενδιαφέρον οσα θα γραφτούν!
