HTC Dev issued an official update from 2.3.3. to 2.3.5 and Unlock Bootloader for HTC Wildfire S. What the heck keuntungungan if in upgrading and Unlock Bootloader? Clearly the types of mobile (HP) under a wide class Wildfire S (WFS) regular availability is very limited internal storage. But do not be underestimated. Although WFS fairly cheap, fairly charming features is presented. So to overcome the constraints of limited internal storage SuperUser access is required in order to move the app to the SD Card bebepa. SuperUser access is only available if Handphone has been at the root.
