[Q] Lucky? - Wildfire General

Whilst out walking the dog I noticed a htc phone facedown on the pavement, there was no body else about so I picked it up...
Turns out to be a wildfire with vodaphone sim and security gesture locked.
What should I do?

Is the phone rooted or not ?!
If not just Hold Volume Down + The power button to boot into hBoot menu, then choose clear storage and choose yes, this will hard reset the phone and it will be as new, enjoy it
LUCKY!! -.-

Hi, no doubt its rooted. Yeah I know how to wipe it but didn't know if it was blockable by the carrier. Thibk its pay as you go to be honest!
I have a rooted desire myself but might give it to the misses

Why an I getting the +1 in front of my #s

I recently received my replacement MT4G after a pool accident. I reflashed and reooted S=off, new radio, the whole 9 yeards just like my previous one. I reflashed the copy of my backup that I had made prior. Everything runs great except all the number I received in SMS or calls are now showing up with a +1 in front of them so they are not matching any of my contacts. I have not made any changes to the phone.
I even went into the settings and check not to use that country code but it still is showing up. Anyone have any ideas?
Checking not to use it just means YOU don't have to do it. The phone always uses them. I don't get how yo haven't noticed that all phones have like always done that

They are not all like that. My last MT4G phone did not do this. So ther has to be some setting or something that I am missing.
i think that happened on one number of mine at some point in crack flashing, i know i quick dialed the contact (send/end), but i can't remember if it fixed it or not. worth a try i guess.

Thanks. I think I fixed it. It was in the settings under the country code option. Thing is that when you select dont use it, you also have to click the dont ask me again button and it keeps it that way. I guesss that is what I didnt know.
Care to show us where the setting is?? Didn't see it under my phone setting...

I know it is possible to boot up to 4 versions of android on a phone given they are using the same file partitioning (found out about it in the XDA portal, here is the link http://www.xda-developers.com/android/boot-up-to-4-different-roms-with-dualromx2/) tho im sure this guy is bs'ing especially if he is using applanet. Tho i am curious about this fryo he claims to have running never heard of that one.

Yes, I'm gonna buy me a Motorola Defy. So I'll have official CM and MIUI (with ICS in future). But main reason are the ****y touchscreen and low ram.
yeah we can all complain about the touchscreen but bear in mind it is for first time user (or first time android hackers ) i dont think many phones out there has fastboot to let us play around with

BRICKED Desire HD, unlocked, free to a good home :)

since upgrading a while ago to my current Galaxy Nexus, i checked my Desire HD before getting ready to sell it off, and discovered while it was sitting gathering dust, at some point it died.
I've researched a bit, and found it has the "7 vibrations" behaviour upon trying to boot. I'm happy with my galaxy nexus, soon to be replaced with a Nexus-4, and i loved the Desire HD the whole time i had it. it was a good run.
So if any one could use the spare parts, or clever enough to un-brick it and get even more use out of it, i'm offering it up to a good home.
Just respond with your interest, and maybe a little about why you want it, especially if you're a Dev as i'd love for it to go to the most useful person that benefits the community as a whole. I'll give people a week to respond, then i'll choose the candidate i feel best serves the greater good
Enjoy !
I sent you a pm
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
Rust in peace, good Desire HD.
We are waiting for your resurrection!!!
I would be happy to take this to play with just to see if I can get it going again!
If it is more uselful for a Dev I'm happy with that
This is what I think to

Why everybody is stating that their devices are bricked? a brick is lifeless and so should be the device. A messed bootloader should not be fixed by flashing a RUU. That can definitely bricked the device.
Messed bootloader have been a big issue since the GB update. Fix for it can be found in the guide in my signature, thou does not work for all devices and bootloaders.

i'm sure more people would want it if it was gold-plated and encrusted with diamonds too.
it's bricked, quite hard it seems.
no amount of "unbricking it" seems to work. It's a bricked device offered for free to anyone that wants it, i'm not selling the damned thing and not asking poeple to jump through fire-hoops.

well, i can't speak for "everybody", but my device seems bricked badly.
no power LED, just 7 vibrations when you it the power button. tried all the un-bricking advice around and this thing doesn't respond or show boot-menus, nothing.
that's why i say it's bricked.

I may be wrong but I believe The implication is maybe HTC is sending the old phones of people who owned the one and not reflashing the correct software thus users are getting phones on rooted or modified software.

I'm pretty sure that's the point as well. You should check this out just in case. In the event that you did get a rooted and flashed refurb, there may or may not be some unwanted bugs/modifications within the device.

It's stores that do this, not HTC and it' s perfectly reasonable off course they do this because it's the turn side of the medal that allows you to return items within a certain time

This is true, and we know (at least fairly certainly) that 2.17 is not the official release of 4.2.2 for the One. According to the Football, not even 2.21 is the official.
I have check, the boot loader is still locked and its not rooted. Must have been fortunate to get the leaked ROM on my device. It also came in a sealed box
