my phone is bricked how to repair ? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i installed clockword mod update radio but smth went wrong, now i can not turn it on, nothing happens non reactive, no led, no charging no into hboot, how to repair it ?

AFAIK, if a wildfire cannot enter into hboot mode or cannot display the splash screen on powering on, I think we cannot repair it.
Try to recollect what happened during radio installation.
Flashing radio is really a critical part. That shouldn't be interrupted.

I dlashed radio, and there was showing robot and above him open box with arrow, then later nothing - everythings dissapear and now phone is completely non reactive.

if a wildfire cannot enter into hboot find someone with JTAG device in your area, jtag can repair boot in wildfire

[Q] Bricked Desire HD

I have a Desire HD, rooted with Visionary, ENG S-OFF, Radio S-OFF, Super-CID and SimUnlock'd, I installed ClockworkMod using ROM Manager and chose to boot into recovery, the phone now doesn't boot whatsoever, when turning on it vibrates 3 times and the amber LED flashes continuously about every second. If I hold down and press power, the phone vibrates 5 times and a green LED flashes instead, but nothing on the screen. Back and Power does the same as turning it on normally. When plugged into USB, my computer searches for the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM driver which it cannot find...
Does anyone have any idea how I can get the phone into recovery mode, fastboot mode, or any other mode where I can flash a RUU?
Thanks, Jordan.
:::im not sure about this, and whatever happens, im not responsible, this is entirely your decision:::
But if i was in your shoes, given that it doesnt want to open at all but just flashes (the LED), ... , i would take the battery out and try again.
But if this keeps happening, then you should sent it to HTC.
Take your battery out, then try and flash into recovery mode
If you get into recovery mode then either install a new Rom or if you backup your Rom restore it

Taking the battery out and putting it back in does nothing, left the battery out for hours, nothing. No way to get into recovery...
If u flashed a 2.x.x.x version of CWM u could try use the bug thats now corrected in 3.x versions.
By taking the battery out then plugging USB in to charge and replace the battery. that used to start my DHD into recovery. if u flashed the 3.x.x..x CWM it wont have that bug.
^it's actually a feature which was removed...^

As long as your DHD vibrates, shows LED.. it is not bricked if I am not wrong. Wait for some senior member to reply your question. You might need to erase recovery via fast boot (just a thought, I am not sure).

Which of course works only if you can get into fastboot.
@OP: If you connect your phone to the computer and turn it on, does the computer recognise it?
as he said, windows searches for "Qualcomm xxx"-drivers.
i had a similar issue with my nearly-bricked hd2 some months ago.
but you know: hd2 and dhd aren't really the same when compared on bootloader level

Can't get into fastboot mode because pressing down and power just makes the phone vibrate 5 times and show a green LED. The phone failed to boot after installing CWM, which was v3 anyway, but obviously isn't present if it fails to boot into recovery in any form. I sent the phone away with Vodafone to get repaired under warranty, but they sent it back today saying it's water damaged and they won't go any further into fixing it. My house mate dropped the phone in the bath once, it worked fine afterwards, no problems whatsoever until now. It's obviously not water damage that caused this, but vodafone refuses to take a look... Am I gonna have to resort to a third party repair center? or replace my friends damn expensive phone... Any ideas?

does your phone carrier offer extended warranty? as in full coverage?... basically i did this once.. my gf got pissed (as they do).. and basically tossed her phone towards me lol missed completely.. bounced off a wall, then off a metal heater, and then the floor.. thus .. screen completely broken.
We went onto our carriers website, added a 3 dollar a month full coverage warranty (12 month commitment). and after 2 weeks sent it in .. fully repaired 2 week later ...

Can I salvage this dead Desire

Hi,
A friend gave me a broken Desire. It wouldn't turn on at all. I have a Desire myself so tried my battery, still nothing. I also tried his battery in mine and it works perfect, so I don't think its a battery issue.
I put the Desire into the freezer for 15 minutes and it turned on fine. Booted up, I was able to USB tether it and put a ROM zip file on the SD card. I then tried to do a "adb devices" and it rebooted to the "quietly brilliant" logo and made the boot sound.
It then vibrated 7 times and turned off.
Now It won't turn on again.
I've pulled the battery about 5 times and its still not doing anything. No light comes on when I put it on charge.
The phone is well past warranty at this stage. I'm not sure but I think its either a PVT-3 or PVT-4.
If I put it in the freezer again, and flash a new ROM, is there any way it can be usable again, or is the only option to buy a new motherboard off eBay? OR sell the phone for parts?
Thanks.
Try to run a RUU. Search in index thread in development section.

Several vibrations at boot indicate to a hardware issue. AFAIK it was something to do with the CPU.
The Desire has a mainboard in 2 parts. The upper and lower board. You could just try to buy the one with the CPU (forgot which one that was, do some digging) and connect it to your phone, and I don't see a reason why it wouldn't work.
OK thanks for the suggestion.

I will just try the first one in the list tonight.
Don't try the first from the list, download 2.3 RUU from htcdev site, you have the instruction in my signature.
thanks,
I tried the download link in your sig, but it said it could not connect to the phone. I think it said USB Connection Error.
Do I need to have a SIM/SD card in it? I just booted it up to the initial welcome screen without the SIM. Does this matter?
PS, its S-ON.

Another thing i just noticed there.
It was running fine until I did an "adb devices". Then it rebooted and died again, just after I pulled it out of the freezer.
Is it possible I'm getting all this trouble because of a USB brick?
Your device is pvt3 so it's not likely that you have a motherboard overheating issue.
My question is do you have htc sync installed, cause ruu requires it, or at least fastboot and bootloader drivers?
Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
I have the android SDK installed, so I was using "adb devices" and fastboot from "program files/android/android-sdk/platform-tools".
Do I need the other drivers from HTC Sync? Or will the Android SDK ones do?
Use htc sync drivers, they perfectly do the job.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
OK I'll install them now and try it.
BTW, I installed a custom ROM on the phone and its still behaving the same way. Will a RUU make any difference to just reflashing a ROM?
The HTC Sync drivers detected the phone and it then rebooted to some black HTC update screen.
It then started to update, but then vibrated 7 times. The progress bar moved on a slight bit after that but now its stuck on 26%.
Also, on the phone, where the progress bar is, at the end of it, theres a little white triangle with a white exclamation point inside it...
I'm curious should I pull the battery or what?
Wait for some more time, but now I'm definitely sure that you have a HW issue.
Try again with freezer.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
Well I tried with the freezer again.
This time it managed to go to 100%. The RUU said it was successful and that my phone was now ready for use.
It then rebooted to the white HTC screen, and then vibrated 7 times.
I held volume down and power and it booted into the menu, and I saw the HBOOT is now gone from the 0.93.0001 to some 1.00 version, so the phone was definitely updated anyway.
Its back in the freezer again now. lol
After freezer it will probably boot, and then die again after some time.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
Thats my guess too.
I am just turning it on now.
Once it boots, is there any apps I can install that can test the hardware for faults, so I can finally know for sure what the problem is?
Don't know for app like that.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Flashes and Thunders
Well, it booted anyway. Went about half way through the setup wizard, as far as the "Connect to wifi" part, then it rebooted to the white screen, where it vibrated 7 times.
Whats odd this time is that it rebooted after the 7 vibrations, and then booted again to the white screen and vibrated again 7 times. It rebooted like this 3 or 4 times, and now its off again.
I pulled the battery, and turned it on again and now its doing the same. Vibrating 7 times, rebooting, vibrating 7 times, rebooting etc. This time its in a loop and has rebooted 9 times so far, and counting. Each time vibrating 7 times and rebooting...
There should be no doubt that it's hardware issues(and as the freezer works, it is likely some overheating of sorts). Either throw it out or buy a cheap ass desire with a broken screen second hand and replace whatever is broken om the new device with what you have from you friend.
Also stop freezing it, it will likely cause water dammage inside at some point.

[Q] HTC logo screen lock

So i tried to RUU my one x but towards the end of the process up popped up a message saying it was the wrong ROM although it wasnt.
Since then it has stuck on the HTC logo screen although i can get to the hboot screen if the battery charge is very low (to low to flash and ive tried to charge it from here but failed).
My phone is locked but can i get it back to normal, maybe through recovery without unlocking my phone. My version is 3.14.401.31
Why making a new thread, when you said you report back here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207173
:banghead:
Edit : and if you are still not unlocked, rooted ...etc ...etc then take it to a repair center. If the ruu won't take it and a factory reset fails there is nothing we can do !

[Q] htc desire only vibrates and show orange light

hi friends
My htc desire is in dead position. it just shows orange light as shown while on charging and vibrates 7 times. i need to flash my phone. can any one provide me useable flash tool for my htc desire
Try power + back to get into fastboot. Did something cause this to happen or did it just occur randomly?
i showed this phone to a machinice and i think he did somthing wrong with its flash files. And when i shows this to a another one he said that its a fault with its system files.and said need to re lood its flash file. thats all
