[Q] Unable to Boot Wildfire S

i tried to install an update of ROM on my wildfire S..
during the setup it said there is connectivity problem.
the phone went off at that time.. after that it never went live again in any mode..
neither volume down + power worked.
i am very much beginner to android or htc. please help me with a full tutorial or
guide how to fix this.
here is the link to ROM update that i was trying to install
dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.01.573.2_us_cellular.exe
plz...

and one more thing. its orage lite on front screen starts flashing when i plug in the charger/data cable. i check the battery voltage, they're 4.02v, so i guess the battery is full charged. if i remove the battery and the reinstall it.. the orange lite doesn't blink unless i put the charger again.
i've gone through other threads that seems to have same problem but i could not understand much of the terms used in those.. so plz i need a detailed help

Can you feel 3/5/7 vibrates when holding power button?

What did you try to do actually?
It's a phone sync software and not a ROM update which you have mentioned.
It seems that there might be problem with your battery. Check it first.

the forum doesn't allow me to post link.. so plz copy paste the above url to see the image

Did you root phone earlier? or
Is your phone's Bootloader unlocked?

If your bootloader is unlocked and your device rooted, install CWM Recovery via ADB, then download your ROM as a ZIP and install using CWM.
If you're not unlocked/rooted, do that first, again via ADB.

i guess the phone it is now useless because another guys says that
"Its bricked if you cant boot to hboot with vol-d + pwr. Srry only way is to send to htc"
so i guess that's the end of it

today i pressed both vol + and down and pressed power button.. the phone gave 7 vibrations and its LED turned on.
what does that mean? is there way to fix it somehow?

dont think so there is any method available for it.
you need to repaired that screen( go to service center)
or this might be silly but you just want to trash your phone after getting contact,
so you can root your phone(unlock bootloader from htcdev then flash cwm recovery)
then take backup of it.(cwm recovery dont required touch,it works with volume and power button)
then restore it on another wildfire s and there you can have access to your contacts.
(this is soo crazy for getting contacts but only way i can see so far)

Yes but HOW EXACTLY i root that phone using ONLY volume up&dowb & power?
Can you give me simply instructions?

Your contacts don't save to your Google account? When I switched phones they all carry over once I sync my gmail account...

I gues not because the phone it isn't mine and i don't want what my friend do with the gmail account.

very simple..
remove battery then insert battery.
hold volume down+power button
then you can see hboot menu.now with volume button select fastboot(the first option)
then connect your phone with your computer.(you can see in ur phone,fastboot usb)
now,you need to unlock bootloader via htcdev.
then use fastboot to flash recovery..
and then you can use recovery and then you can take backup.
you dont need to add root permissions because you just want backup so you can take out contacts.

I do all that but the recovery menu appear and when I choose something it just the menu disappear and become purple and doesn't do anything at all

I have the exact same issue there. Originally my phone was on AT&T rom and i changed it for Panama rom. It worked correctly for 3 months and now the home and back buttons doesn't works. More specific: They are working on the wrong way. For example when i touch the back button, the phone think i touched the screen above. So if i'm in the apps menu and i touch the back button, it loads the first app above the button in the screen's bottom-left corner. Factory reset doesn't helps

So what should we do now? Because if i'm not alone with this problem, it should be maybe just software problem, and maybe a rom re-install can help. Some people told me that it's a hardware isssue but i dont find the point because i used the phone carefully, it newer was dropped. The buttons stopped working this way, while i used the phone for web browsing.

Guys I had the exact same problem, thought it was software problem. Later I took it to lg service and they changed the whole panel which would have cost me Rs 8000. Fortunately I had it under warranty(although rooted I unrooted it first before taking my phone to them ) So I assure you this is a symptom with our G Pros. The screen gets really hot and this causes the problem, its a hardware design fault. For temporary solution u can use software keys which can be downloaded from the playstore

what if I told you that everything especially electronics is ridiculously priced here in egypt ,and knowing from similar posts that they will change the mainboard ,they're gonna charge hell of a price that I'd probably buy a new phone!

Then I would say 'I feel your pain' lol.......
Things here in the UK ain't exactly cheap either.......
But I've done some research.....the home button assembly is separate to the motherboard and can be purchased separately. The only downside is that you have to completely disassemble the phone in order to replace it......
Here's a YouTube guide that might help.......

Your in the stock recovery pal. Hold down the power and volume keys and you will eventually get some options on the screen. Once they come up use the volume buttons to scroll and power to select. Btw, i suspect you have a htc wildfire S not the htc wildfire. So this would be the wrong forum for you if your phone does not have a trackpad at the bottom of the screen (looks like a circle with a dot in it) then you have the S model.

HTC Wildfire
Thanks for Replying back Its not letting me to run recovery and on the top of it if the phone boots up it take almost 20 minutes to get to the home screen and it hang sup their itself you can't even do anything on it and i am trying to unlock the boot loader to run recovery and install custom rom on it but nothing working out. I do have a trackpad on this mobile and i checked over the internet also and its Model number is A3333. So Please help me what all option that i can use on this mobile right now as i am totally new to Flashing Android Mobiles.

Okay, pull the battery out. Then put it back in after 5 seconds. Hold down volume down, then power and keep both pressed down until a wite screen with some writing comes up. There it should say hboot, a version number and s-on or s-off. What does yours say?

Ah ha! Fantastic whoever else had this phone before you has done most of the hard work and security unlocked the bootloader already. http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.c...zip?key=kzoSRLwAaSgJsyXiuKJS4A&ts=1431506306 download this and place it onto your sdcard. Reboot into hboot and your hboot should request you to update the recovery. Select yes with volume up. After this you should reboot back into hboot without the sdcard in. Then select recovery from hboot and boot into it.
Once your in recovery you could either:
1. Wipe the data, cache and dalvik cache and then reboot the phone. This will reset the phone and hopefully fix and voot related issues.
2. Wipe the phone entirely and install a new rom. Cyanogenmod 7 is a good lightweight rom. Please look at the development section for all the roms available.
Just one question though, that screen damage looks like bad. Do you know what happened?

Hello Bro
Link that you have shared is not working so please share some other link and please help me to get the best rom for this mobile and please provide me step to step instruction to do it.

Ok

Already Tried
Well Bro tried that and its now working no option i am getting in recovery and just a phone logo with red mark that what i shared in first screenshot in this thread

As I have said I recommend Cyanogenmod 7. Read the thread here Its a custom version but its more recent.
Now your screen, I suspect that those marks are from heat damage. Most likely from whoever else had the phone overclocking it. This could be a telltale sign of hardware damage through excessive use and it may never boot properly. I thought I should mention that.

Well i thats case would like to ask one more thing we will be able to fix it or not or its not worth it.

Depends, this phone is an old model as far as mobile phones are concerned. the cost of a motherboard and new lcd + digitizer could be the same cost as the phone in a used condition.
I work it out as £23.13 as the cheapest you could get the parts but then you would need to do a full tear down of the device in order to replace most of it. I mean basically your only keeping the frame, trackball, camera and some rubber bits.
Cheapest I can find to buy it in the uk is £25 ( with you needing to sim unlock it).
But I would add that you might as well try get cm7 on the device. The only thing it will cost you is time and you never know, the phone might be usable with CM7 on it. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

OK bro let me first give a try with the cm7 rom and see if its work and hoping for the best

Sorry, i forgot to mention, the controls for the recovery are different from hboot. Push trackball to select items, power is now the back button.

let me give a try and see if its work i installed the rom from Sd card ad restarted the mobile and hoping this will work now

I tried to install stock rom that i have downloaded from HTC Website and that is not getting installed lets hope CM7 will work i can see the ultrabeam revolutionary Logo on the screen right now its still thinking up
