[Q] hboot wont load - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So to begin with i am a noob sorry. Now on to what i came here for. I just bought a HTC wildfire and i want to root it seems simple enough so i try to go into hboot by holding down the volume and power and the green LED appears and my phone vibrates a couple times. Other than that i just have a black screen and nothing is happening have i missed something like i need to update something to get into the hboot menu or something because its just sat here on my lap not doing anything except displaying a pretty green light.

Hmm, that's odd, the LED shouldn't be on when in HBOOT

Hm so something has most definitely gone wrong or i've missed something but everyone just says hold down volume and power button which i did

Are you sure you're doing vol- and power?
When I did vol+ the phone vibrated and the green LED came up, but when did vol- and power it got to the HBOOT normaly.

See told you im a noob thanks for that working now

Dude...
I think this is something that can be accessible from PC. Because, when i first connected the wildfire to PC and rebooted phone holding the volume up, I got driver installation for Qualcomm MSM.. Something strange

That is interesting, because I Google-d it and found that msm is a 3g chip.

Unable to enter in Bootloader

Hi all,
I have been given a completely bricked vogue. I have no idea what they really did on the device. As far as I've been told, they tried to load a wrong ROM (no idea which one)
When you switch it on, both buttons (green and red) light on but nothing else happens. I've tried all combinations to enter into bootloader+hard reset with no success at all.
Is there any way to force to enter into bootmode? Opening it and phisically shortcutting legs/connectors?
Regards and thanks in advance

Bootloader Mode
Try holding Power button and camera button at the same time.
What a great gift!!
You deserve the brand new camera phone!

Thanks,
already done. Didn't work.

LOL,
yours seems to be OK. Not mine.
Any other smart idea?
Regards and thanks
Formatted the 512mb microSD card that came with the phone in FAT32 format with HTC as the name. Downloaded the new ROM from the HTC site. Extracted ruu_signed.nbh and renamed it to Voguimg.nbh, copied the file to the microSD, held camera button+power button+reset button and it entered the bootloader screen for me. The update had failed when I didn't put a volume label when formatting. Now everything works as it did before I bricked mine (and didn't know how to get into the bootloader)
Pretty much the same steps here:
Code:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24906
for that to work yu have to actually power of the phone then hold the camera button then power and after boot loads let go of the power button and hld on to camera button till you see the three color screen
try this
unzip an ruu , take the enterbootloader.exe file put it on your storage card and run it. Thats what i did when my power button broke.

[Q] Hard bricked?

Ok, so two days ago I woke up to a dead phone.. Plugged my phone up, and it turned on by itself. The phone comes up to the lockescreen, but the power menu appears on it's own, and I realize that the phone is thinking that the power button is being held down. The phone continues to think the power button is being held down, however it's not stuck, the button can click just fine. At this point, my phone is stuck restarting itself so I take out the battery and set it aside for the day. I get home and try again, everything is normal, but the power button doesn't work. I get up the next morning and the phone is dead(presumably) and I plug it up to harge, however the battery animation and led light that usually turn on when I connect the phone don't show up! The phone doesn't power on, it doesn't charge(from what I see) and the power button is broken >_> I am rooted. I have CM10 installed, however I haven't modded in a few months, so I can't see what the issue is. Everything was working fine 3 days ago, however i think my phone is hard bricked.. Is there a way to get out of this? I have insurance, but my phone is rooted, so do you think sprint will accept the phone and give me a replacement? Can I unrooot the phone somehow before I turn it in?
Thanks for reading, any help is very appreciated
Insurance?
With sprint, you have the option to buy a protection plan, but they only cover certain things, and I don't know if they accept rooted devices

Uh-oh...

So my rooted phone has been vibrating recently for no reason. I googled it and came up with "power down, reboot to recovery, navigate with the buttons to wipe cache, then reboot".
I did that, selected yes to continue, and it's been doing this for a while. I'm ticked because I usually research everything pretty heavily and did not this time. What should I do now? How long might I expect this to take?

you are in Download mode not recovery mode
to enter recovery press vol+ + home + power at the same time, when u see Samsung logo remove ur finger from power only and wait till recovery starts
Thank you! Can I do that here or do I need to get out of download first?
Heck, how do I just get back to regular operation? I need to research a lot more on this...
Fixed! I took off my case this time; I think my Defender was screwing up the volume button pushing.

Firstly - I am glad you solved your problem.
Now - If you ever need to get out of Download mode then just pull the battery.

My Dumb Ass told my Wife's Parents I could fix their tablet (Stuck in Reboot Loop).

Good Morning!
I have lurked hear on and off when I had problems before with my Samsung phones so I thought I was qualified to help my Wife's parents with their Galaxy Tab 3 10.1. They aren't techy and will buy something new at the first sign of trouble. I was just hoping to save them a couple hundred bucks. All they told me was that it wouldn't turn on. I'm not a techy guy myself but I know how to google and follow instructions so I'm the de facto IT guy in the family.
What it appears is happening is that it's stuck in a sort of reboot loop. I read a bunch of threads about starting in recovery mode and hard resets or hooking it to the computer and updating it from there but nothing works. The computer won't recognize it when I plug it in since it's constantly rebooting. None of the button combos (power+volume up+home, etc.) work either.
I made a quick YouTube video of the problem but as a new member I can't post it but it just flashes the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 3" on and off until I suppose the battery dies.
Any ideas on what else I could try?
If this battery connector is severely cracked, your tablet won't be able to boot.

You can try this, press hard on the back cover near the center to see if it can boot or remove the rear cover and press directly on the battery connector while power on.
Power + Volume Down ( next to Power Button ) is Download Mode
Power + Volume Up is Recovery Mode.
If you cannot access these two modes, may be your power or volume buttons are not working, I guess. The flex cable for these 3 buttons only few dollars on Ebay.

Oneplus 3 won't boot

Hi,
I dropped my phone last week and it dented my volume down button. I thought it wouldn't be a huge problem besides volume down being constantly pressed however today my phone battery died for the first time since I dropped it and when I tried to turn it on it went into recovery. While on the recovery screen I don't know what I pressed but somehow I got into this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
While on this screen and reading my options to figure out what to press to get out of it, my phone screen just randomly turned off?! I figured maybe the battery died? So I've but it on charge (been on charge for over an hour now) but it doesn't seem to be booting up now :/ not even into recovery. In fact I'm not sure if it is even charging, the LED light that usually indicates it is charging isn't blinking. Is that normal? I can't remember if it ever blinks when the phone is off and charging.
Any ideas on what's happening? Or what I should do?
Thanks,
Dilz
Don't panic. It's just the fastboot screen. Press a volume button to navigate to "START" and press power button. Your phone will boot up if everything is fine
Maybe you didn't read the full thread but my phone randomly turned off on this screen and isn't booting now
First you need to release that button. While it's pressed, you won't be able to do anything.

But shouldn't my phone still charge/power on into recovery with the volume down button pressed in?
