I have been using my HTC Wildfire for quite some time now. It is not a bad phone but it is somewhat limited, mainly in memory and speed. Plus, I really wanted to experiment and see what a custom ROM could do.
From my research, SuperOneClick is the most popular tool for rooting the Wildfire. You can find it on the XDA Developers forum — it makes the process very straightforward.
Once rooted, install ROM Manager from the Market and flash a custom recovery. Then download CyanogenMod 7, copy it to your SD card, boot into recovery, and install the zip.
1. Root with SuperOneClick
2. Install ROM Manager
3. Flash ClockworkMod recovery
4. Download CyanogenMod 7
5. Copy to SD card
6. Boot into recovery (Volume Down + Power)
7. Install zip from SD card
8. Reboot
After installing CyanogenMod, if your GPS is not working (a known issue), flash the appropriate GPS fix for your region from the XDA forums.
The difference in performance is night and day. The Wildfire becomes a much more usable device. Give it a try!
