HTC Wildfire S memory

    Hi all.

    I have a HTC Wildfire S and I'm pretty much constantly out of internal memory. I've used App2SD to move what I can but the apps still seem to be taking up some space on the internal memory.

    I don't have the money for a new phone or a XTC Clip to make it S-off so as far as I can tell rooting is out of the question.

    Does anyone know of any way to root the phone successfully or even how to move more apps to the memory card?
    Is it possible to set a partition on the memory card that can be used as internal memory?

    Has anyone tried this method of getting more space?

    I rooted my WFS The other day with S-ON, wasn't too hard. Just followed the tutorial on Android Forums, all you need is a code from HTCDev.

    THere are none of those kind of shops in my town.
    I'm from the sticks and cant be without my phone too long (work) so I can't send it away and I don't think there are any boardsies that can do that in Donegal.

    I've looked that up, looks like I could do it.
    Hows it working out for you now that its rooted?
    What ROM did you use? CM7?

    I just need to back up my phone first.
    Anyone got any tips?
    I don't want to lose anything.

    Backing up: Just sync everything to google, and copy the contents of your simcard & memory card on your computer.

    Rooting was quite easy, now running CM7 and its amazingly fast, and battery lasts much longer. As for memory, not getting any problems anymore, as I can move all the files over. (That can be done anyway with the phone just rooted, and not with CM7 installed).

    Heres a full tut on the rooting process.

    Hi there, I also need to root my Wildfire but don't know how to look up Frank Leach on Boards (I'm quite new - think I need to have posted more times to send direct messages?). Can someone possibly point me in the direction of Frank or tell me where to find one of the shops in Dublin that do it?

    Thanks very much!
