First of all, Congratulations! on your latest Wildfire S. HTC’s flagship and pride. But if you want even more from your monster of a device, then you gotta unlock the bootloader of your HTC WILDFIRE S. Bootloader is like a gate between you and the candy land, i.e. custom ROMs, custom recoveries, mods, and much more. And fortunately, HTC is kind enough to provide you with a key to unlock this door. So, enough teasing. Let’s unleash the beast! Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page! You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components. To make sure your device is eligible with this, you must first confirm its model no. in ‘ About device’ option under Settings. Another way to confirm model no. is by looking for it on the packaging box of your device. It must be A510e! Please know that this page is meant for all variants of HTC Wildfire S A510e.

But, as of now, all the variants of Wildfire S are unlock-able by this official procedure. You must do this pre-installation stuff before attempting to unlock bootloader of your Wildfire S in order to avoid any complications later, and have a smooth and successful process. Back up important data and stuff before you start playing around here as there are chances you might lose your apps and app-data (app settings, game progress, etc. and in rare case, files on SD card, too.
