[Q] HTC Wildfire bricked? need help /will give reward

hello i just wanted to see if i still could get help with my useless device
Ok so yesterday ive rooted the phone and today i tried to install cyanogen mod 7 rom
i used rom utility which i ve downlaoded from android marketplace
now sometimes my phone boots and gets to the logo loop
ive heard that clearing cache and settings would work but i cant access these menus as my hboot is not reacting to my key presses , i tried to reflash the phone but nothing came with success.
I used android sdk and RUU but nothing with success .
maybe anyone would teamview me or give me step by step tutorial how to get this phone alive again would be appreciated
You will be rewarded

You rooted the Phone with a App from the Market?
You need if your HBoot is lower then 1.* the unrEVOked Tool.
If its 1.* there is no way to flash it.
Okay, maybe it worked with yout root app from the market, dunno, but i dont think so.
So you cant access while pressing volume down (keep holding) and switching on the phone the bootmanager? oO thats no good.
The Logo will stay up to "15minutes (<-?)" after flashing a new Rom. In this time its possible, that you Phone restarts automaticly. its normal. Switch it on an wait up to an half hour. If it keep staying in the boot sequence while showing the logo you got a problem .
I think there isnt a more unsave way than a "Flash by teamviewer". You have also pay attention to the phone while flashing. on TV you cant keep an eye on it.
But how can you reflash your phone without getting access to the bootmanager/ HBoot? I think you habe to access the clockwork to flash cm7 *thinking*.

If u nowhow to use adb try n get a adb logcat if possible
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

Hi borris and daddyspud thanks for your reply ,i cant move around in hboot ,my hboot version i 0.80.0003
Ive rooted it using unrevoked with clockwork mod on it.
now even when i get it to boot it just loops in cyanogen animation,should i leave it for 15 minutes to do its thing?
also im new to this so i dont know anything about sdk and adb,all i did is saw the tutorials using it ,so i thought i would use it just to give it a go

HBoot 0.8 is rootable, so its okay.
If there is still an animation while you see the CM Logo everything is fine.
If it freeze for some minutes is there a problem. The Animation shows you "i am working / installing".
Yes, let him do his thing for some Minutes.
I think everting should be okay and after some minutes it will work like normal.
It reboots sometimes it self, but this is also okay.
I dont know... does the new CM7 also install a new HBoot? So its possible why you cant move around in it.
Do you wait about 10 seconds before you try to move around in it? Because in the first seconds it looks like it freezed an then it start a test or something. this takes about 10seconds then you can use it.

Its not bricked if its turning on.
Can you get into recovery? If you can try flashing the 4.1 kernel.
If that doesnt help, go into recovery and do a full wipe. Clear cache and dalvik, and under partitions menu format everything except SD card. Then flash CM7, then the 4.1 kernel
Remember first boot will take 10-15 minutes. Be patient. If youve done everything right you shouldnt have any problems

Hi and thanks for cooperation ,i left my phone on cyanogen animation for an hour and nothing is happening just animation loop constantly.
I've just tried hboot and it searches for the PC 49 DIAG and says not found after that it freezes and i cant use any menu navigation buttons . in hbot and fastboot.
I dont even know what to do next
Much help appreciated guys

oO
thats weird.
the PC49DIAG is a part of the rom it self. So i think you have to try to re-flash it. Did you try it with or without a goldcard?
before you flash your phone whipe ALL datas on it!!!
If i start in bootloader mode i get also all the "missing" errors but i can still use the vol up/down buttons to navigate around.
That should help.
I think you did something wrong while flashing.
the root failed?
you got an error while flashing?
goldcard?
Try to flash a RUU from shipped roms. DONT flash a Froyo rom, you will get the HBoot 1.* if you do this.
Recoverymode doesnt work in the hboot?
If you try recoverymode you will get a blackscreen with an triangle.
most say "press the power button" to enter the recovery mode. if this doesnt work press the "volum up button (hold it) then the power button" this should enter recovery mode.
**EDIT**
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz use a www-rom its without a branding. and use a RUU rom.. and pls dont use a froyo rom. after flashing this your root is gone i think but your phone will be alive again.
dont try the cm7 this time. use a stock rom.

is it alive again?
i talked today to someone who hat exactly the same problem like you.
it was simple to fix the problem... he (you also?) didnt
whipe the phone before he flashed the cm7. thats why it wont stop looping
in the cm7 animation.
after whiping and reflashing everything was fine.
... did you whipe it b4 flashing?

If you turn it on while holding "dolume down" do you get the android+! screen? Some go into recovery if you touch the bottom right corner of the screen, but on some you have to hold volume up + down together. I had this problem today!
If you actually can't get to the screen with the android+! then I don't know what else you could do :-(

I really can not, no way to go to the screen with the robot android! he goes right on the logo motorola M!
can it be hardware problem?

1) Did you use the correct flasher? rsd4.9 with motorola driver installed properly.
2) If (1) not working, you could use motorola own service update from their site.

but no results!

don't worry about it, dude.
maybe you can try the way followed:
1.power off your defy;
2.remove the battery from the phone;
3.plug the usb cable into the phone without battery;
4.open RSD and chose one of the roms your listed, but 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC prefered,
5.take the battery into your phone, now your can see the "connected" on RSD;
6.click the "start" button to flash;
7.wait the phone reboot completely, usually it'll reboot.
if not reboot, remove and on your battery, power on your phone, then press the "volume - and power" botton together, you can enter the robot screen, press volume up and down botton together, usually you can enter the recovery, then chose wipe 3 and 4, totally you can save your defy~~

Be sure to have enough battery while flashing..

Get the phone into bootloader (hold volume down when switch on) and flash an SBF like one from the list you've attached using RSD lite. Surely you have used RSD Lite before?

It seems you have the same issue I have on my Defy as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095444
I’m also unable to get into recovery or get to the Android Robot screen using “Power + Volume Down”. Hopefully we will be able to figure it out and get this issue fixed.

This same friend, I have the same problem, is this a hardware problem? I move the roms but not normal
Vol I login recovery - + Power key

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Try flashing nordic, if fails arabic, if fails, 2.3.3, if fails probably corrupt nand broken hardware.
Before and after every flash always try to access recovery (volume down) and WIPE. reboot and wait crossing fingers, if it fails to boot flash next sbf, try to go recovery + wipe; reboot, cross more fingers; if fails to boot try next sbf and repeat.
The reason for this is that you can flash a lower version but it wont boot, so you have to flash a higher and higher version until you get one that works.

I tried to help someone with this problem before to no avail!
Everyone who is saying just wipe in recovery, or just flash with RSD blah blah blah, need to understand that he CAN NOT access recovery and HE HAS flashed multiple roms using RSD 4.9, read the OP. Im convinced this is physical hardware failure or similar. We all know the drill to recover our precious defy's in the event of semi-brick ie: bootloop or corrupt code. However this is more than a semi-brick. We are talking about successful flashing and still no access to recovery and infinite M logo!
I walked more than one person with this problem through every known procedure to bring these phones back. Even using sbf_flash for linux doesn't work as this is the only way I flash anymore I don't bother with RSD anymore. The thing is it DOES FLASH SUCCESSFULLY just no recovery or boot!

OMG Exactly!!!! i have same problem and nobody seems to be able to tell me what to do, they keep saying same thing about trying various SBF's and Vol down + power method. No matter what SBF file I successfully flash with, i cannot get into boot recovery mode.

I have heard before from desperate users that they were able to revive their phone by flashing a full 2.3.4 sbf. This however comes with downsides of not being able to downgrade to froyo by flashing ANY froyo sbf's. There is a way to downgrade back to froyo but its a dirty method. Even after downgrade you can't just flash a sbf, you will always need to restore nandroid and flash fixed sbf

[Q] Freezing,Stock Recovery problem

well my dad was having problems with his defy, running a stock us 2.2.1. I looked at his phone, and after a few minutes, it would freeze up, and go into a bootloop, or still screen of the motorola logo.
First thing i tried is the stock recovery, which would freeze as soon as i started to wipe cache, and or data reset. After that, it gets stuck on the motorola logo no matter what.
I thought flashing a different .sbf would work, tried it, and finally got it to load to the "Welcome to android - please touch to continue" screen, as soon as i touched it, it froze.
flashed - JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF
went into recovery again to try to hard reset, but once again it freezes when it starts to clear cache/data factory reset.
Reflashed, now its still stuck on the motorola logo.
Any help is appreciated, thanks

Found a fix for anyone having this problem.v
Flash any sbf , and
Once its says "restart phone manually', exit the program, and unplug your phone, plug in your phone while in boot loader, them start the program,.and it should. Finish
the process, now you can clear cache and factory reset. Sorry I drank a little, the program is to install sbf's I can't think of the name

[Q] Defy Plus No Recovery

Hi,
I have had my motorola Defy Plus running cyanogen for a year or so. Various versions, 2nd init.
Recently I decided to upgrade to Cyanogen version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515036
Got it installed and running ok but there were some glitches (maybe) so I started from scratch to be sure.
The method I used to completely re-initialise the phone is as follows.
repartitioned SD, wiped and flashed
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz
booted into stock android. installed framaroot - rooted.
installed 2nd init
installed twrp
updated recovery
wipe/reset
install cyanogen
The first time I did this it worked (but with some gapps glitches so to trouble shoot I thought I would start again.
Now this is the problem.
the second time when I tried to flash the stock rom RSD lite hung with "please manually reboot the phone"
After this it is impossible to get into stock recovery from the android triangle screen. When pressing both volume buttons the only thing that happens is the screen brightness toggles between light and dim.
I can get the phone to connect to RSD lite and I can flash ROMS - I have tried a few but I cannot get recovery, Always after flashing RSD says please manually reboot phone. The automatic reboot does nothing but get to the motorola or triangle screen, or a black screen sometimes.
Just to clarify - I have googled and tried many solutions, the main problem is that there is no stock recovery from the triangle screen so no solution that relies on this is working,
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Stock recovery is included in the ... stock ROM (duh) so you need to install completely the stock ROM. But anyway at what serve stock recovery for you?

The one that usually works is DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_US AJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz
Which is the retail UK version for my phone. However when I try to flash it now with RSD it gets to the reboot stage but I am not sure it completes.

I think what would solve my problem would be a way of installing the above rom (which I believe includes the bootloader). I need to solve the problem of the flashing not progressing beyond the reboot stage.
I am using RSD Lite version 6.1.4
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Boot in recovery. Do a total wipe (factory reset). Reboot in bootloader. Flash the .sbf.

There is no functioning recovery, so it is impossible to do a wipe. It is possible to flash a stock ROM (which should restore the recovery) using RSD lite but the process does not get past the reboot stage.

download again the sbf or flash another sbf.

I9505 bootlooping & not booting

Galaxy S4 I9505
Phone was second hand to me at the start of this year, though had been well looked after, always in a case etc
I flashed it with the newest stock ROM in January this year
I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505BTUHOJ1_I9505XXUHOJ2
& rooted with CF AutoRoot
It has worked fine until about 2 weeks ago, when it randomly shut down. After restarting, it kept bootlooping.
Left it off & charging overnight, & the next morning it booted ok. Managed to use spotify for a few hours.
Then it started bootlooping again, sometimes getting all the way but then crashing after a few minutes.
Managed to boot into recovery & do a 'wipe cache', that didnt fix it.
'Wipe data' didnt fix it
Have flashed the PIT file & ROM (via odin), no errors in odin, done it twice now
wiped cache & data
still wont boot past the white splash screen, only sometimes boots into recovery
(also, only the menu button lights up, not the back button.)
I've checked the power button (clicks & dosnt stick)
Dont think the batteries the issue (charges fine, dosnt get warm, isnt bulging)
What else could stop it booting?

Have you tried booting into safe mode?
Safe mode, from what I read, can be accessed by holding the menu button while the phone boots.
But you should also do some reading about it, in case I'm wrong.
The other idea would be to try a custom ROM.

Can't boot into safe mode
(& having read up on it, it would only not run apps that arn't already in the ROM)
Any suggestions for a custom ROM
& why would it work when the original official one won't?

Well, it's booted far enough to get into android & add a google account, then it bootloops again.
Then after leaving it off for a while, it will boot & let me look at settings etc, then bootloop
however
the menu soft key stays lit all the time after a boot
the top half of the phone, around the camera, gets very warm
Does that indicate it's a hardware issue?
Could it be the battery?

If it's the top half warming up without you doing anything, it's the motherboard.
Boot into recovery and and let it stand by, see if it reboots.

The battery can't prevent the ROM from booting. It would have to turn off during the boot, which it doesn't. So, by my logic, it isn't the battery.
Try official CM.

Why do you want to do factory wipe after one boot?

Its the only thing i didn't tried till now, my phone crashes and reboots everytime during boot.
