HTC Wildfire S upgrade problem - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi guys,
I'm an ITALIAN guy and this summer i bought an htc wildfire s in POLAND. I had no problem with this device (very very good smartphone). Today, a messagge appeard on the display. It was an upgrade alert... I accepted that upgrade (from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5), cleaned up my internal phone memory and i done that upgrade. After the loading process the upgrade rebooted my phone and puff... I don't know what happened. Now i have graphic bugs, the phone is VEEEEEEERY LAGGY. The upgrade stopped at 70% and now i can't finish the upgrade, i can't use wifi because there is a error message (wifi: error) and i can't do nothing else. (phone is very laggy and it's full of lcd pulsations/texture problems). I tried to reset my device using the internal function and i also tried to reset all using the startup function (switch on + volume down). I cleaned cache etc etc but same ****. Can someone help me? How i can restore original data? How i can make this update working?
Thanks guys!

You are not alone - bro , many phones is already hit by this upgrade - for now you only can register problem at HTC support line and wait ... btw. I'm from Poland .

So we can only wait... Pff, now i'm calm

My girlfriend has the same problem although the upgrade was perfect the phone works bad. Is there no way to downgrade?

HTC Desire Reboot Loop Problem

I have an interesting problem, kind of. Bought my phone second hand as supposedly unlocked & debranded but on boot up it after the HTC logo I get the Virgin Media logo, not really an issue though. Anyway the problem is when I switch the phone off and then switch on again it boots up fine to the home screen and then it will reboot itself and carries on doing this. i.e. boot up to home screen then reboot again continuously.
To get out of this reboot loop I have to remove the sim & boot the phone with no sim in it then switch off and insert my normal Vodafone phone sim and switch on again. after that the phone is fine until I power down and then the same thing happens.
Anybody else experienced this or got any ideas?? It came with 1.15.405.4 firmware already installed and I have tried reflashing with the same firmware using the goldcard method & it worked but the problem remains. When the sim registers on the network is when the reboot loop seems to start.
did you try reflashing it ?
hold down the side button (down) and press on at the same time.
then select erase data and press on again
if you bought it second hand, its hard to say what the previous user has done with it ...
Yep tried reflashing it, just about to reflash again with an older rom. It's just wierd that a sim card authenticating to the network would cause a reboot loop.

Maybe it's a dumb question - But I'm having some issues that doesn't seem to get solved by a factory reset - Would it be an idea to reflash it for this, so the phone gets a fresh rom?
How would I do it specifically? Do you know of a guide somewhere?

have you tried a different sim card ?
Ye tried a different sim card, boots fine and all is good till you reboot the phone and then the same happens again. Anyways flashing was a disaster this time round as I was doing it on my work pc and Symantec kicked in thinking it found a virus with adb.exe and halted the process & quarrantined the file. Now everytime I try and reflash on a different PC I get the dreaded error(110):file open error. Disconnect the phone & all I get is a black screen & HTC logo. Nice. Thanks Symantec you've just bricked my Desire!!
*UPDATE* - Fixed.
Removed the battery, left it for a few hours then reflashed on a different pc and it flashed fine. Then thought I'd try & repeat so reflashed with the older rom from here (originally used the newer rom posted on Modaco) and got the error again and again couldn't flash back to the newer. Removed the battery left for an hour and then could reflash again and get it working!! Wierd
I had the same problem.
My Solution: remove battery, remove the SIM, put battery reboot, turnoff, remove battery, put SIM, put battery, boot
first i want to excuse my bad english,hope you will undestand what i´m trying to say.
i have the same problem since a few days.
first time i notice it,was when the desire was charching and i used it a bit,it restarts again and again.so i put out the battery and wait a few minutes,than it works.
it´s also,when i use it a long time with wifi or 3G....the the phone turns off and i have the boot loop.
but when i take out my sim,it works fine.
my question is,do i need a new sim or is it a hardware problem?
does anybody know?

sorry, wrong thread

i have the exact same problem!! any solution? after that the phone will boot loop over and over! damn!
I had the same problem last week.
I suspected it had to do with the EXT3 partition.
Solved it by first flashing the OTA 2.2 ROM (for rooted users) as this does not use the EXT3. Then used Rom manager to recreate the EXT3.
Now all ROMs that use the EXT3 run fine!
hmmp
as long as i know, i did not install anything on my phone lately so thats the problem so far and i think tequila98 also having the same problem as me, cause when i remove my sim card the phone works fine. but ive reset my phone yesterday and not restarting so far hope this will continue.
I really wished there was a dead fix to this problem we are all having!
My problem:
My phone was running fine until a few weeks ago. There was no rebooting problems when I first got my phone (April) and when I flashed my phone for the first time (May). Happened a few weeks ago when I was browsing on YouTube where my phone suddenly restarted on it's own.
Before it was once a couple of days, now it has gotten more frequent and annoying.
I don't think the heat is the problem because I don't go on the internet much because of my data plan. I use wifi when I browse the web, youtube, etc. And I certainly don't use Google maps or any heavy duty applications. That's just what I think...
My phone rebooted 3 times today in a time span of 4 hours? I noticed that my phone rebooted itself when I use the camera to take a picture or video. Doesn't happen everytime, but that's what happened today. Also, when my phone rebooted today, my application Advanced Task Killer was automatically removed from my phone! That was weird... But I experienced another reboot even after having the app removed.
I really hope someone can find the core of this problem and fix it!
My phone is running on DeFroST 2.0b Android 2.2
My battery stats: 42% for display, 26% for cell standby, 21% for phone idle, 4% for android system, 3% for voice calls, 2% for android OS

It's probably hardware problem with motherboard. Therefore I recommend you to take your phone to repair center and they should replace mobo with new one. That's what I did and now everything is ok.
I am having the exact same problem. Seems to be related to the SIM.
But the SIM works fine in another phone.
Did anyone find any more information?
If you get random reboots its most likely ther motherboard there is a massive thread about it on the forums. You need to send it off to a HTC repair centre.
Just got this problem.
I rooted yesterday. Today I made a nandroid backup. After that the phone is in a reboot loop.
How is this possible from just and backup???
Tnx.

Edit:
Restored backup and is working fine again.
nandroid backup loop

I will try it. Maybe the backup is not only a backup but also a remove? Strange.
I will comment if this works also for me.
EDIT: Restore helps

[Q] Desire lock problem

I'm having a really annoying problem with my Desire, whenever I try to lock it my screen automatically switches on again. And when I keep trying to lock it, my phone reboots. This problem occurred yesterday and not for any apparent reason, I didn't do anything with my phone that I don't normally do.
My phone is rooted so I thought it would easily be fixable with a complete reset/wipe and installing a new rom, but unfortunately it didn't fix anything.
So now I'm losing hope and I'm starting to get afraid it's an hardware issue unable to be fixed by me. So has anyone ever experienced this problem, and more importantly have you found a way to fix it?

Dutch Vodafone HTC Desire
about 4 months old
ROM: AuraxTSense v7.6.1 Sense-FroYo 2.2 Official OTA

[Q] Camera not working (shows only black screen)

Hey guys,
I've bought Desire Z recently and today a problem occured: when I start the camera app (either via SW shortcut or HW key) I get just backlit black screen and all I can do is to press Home.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks.
You're using the stock ROM, right ?
I would try a factory reset. If that doesn't fix the problem, then it sounds like it has a faulty camera, return it.
Yes, I'm using stock ROM. I've tried factory reset for 2 times and it didn't help, so I guess returning the phone is my only option.
The wierd thing is that the camera worked just fine and then it started to show only a black screen.
Move your finger???
Tried, not helping
Now when I think about it I come to conclusion that the problem occured after the last update (the one supposed to enhace camera performance). Could it be the cause? Can it be undone?
If I perform factory reset I still have this update installed (OS version 2.2.1).

Do you still have S-OFF or are you back to S-ON now ? If you are S-ON then there is no way currently for you to downgrade if you're on the new 1.72 ROM, since right now it is not rootable.
I haven't had S-OFF so I don't have now as well.
But it doesn't matter to me anymore, I'm returning the device (already have bought a new one - so far didn't update to the 1.72 ROM and camera works fine). Now I don't know if I should perform the update.
Anyway, thx everybody for trying to help.

[Q] All Apps stopped working unexpectedly...

Hey guys,
the strangest thing since i'm using android happened to me right now.
I realized that my DHD starts to lag after 2-3 days, a reboot fixes it, (USB debugging always enabled) but that's not the problem :=)
so i wanted to restart!
all apps stopped working unexpectedly....
really everything, launcher, there are masses of popups coming up, no idea what really happened.
the only thing i know, htc sense seemed to work (i was so intelligent to try to start launcherpro, which created a default shortcut, so then everything including launcher pro stopped working, no chance to to anything (usb connection not detected... nothing)
popups just reoccur directly after clicking them away. no idea at all.
i found this:same problem on another phone @xda
but there hasn't been a solution too.
so i just wanted to tell anyone out there experiencing the same with a dhd.
u're not alone.
i'm reflashing. (another rom, it was revolution hd 3, but i think its not rom related - but i have to mention, the stock rom - used for 2 months before- never had anything similar - rev. hd was just in use for a few weeks now (1 or 2).
howdi
cV
update:
guys this really suckz, i dont know whats different with my DHD and the combination of revolution HD rom, but this is the second time this happened!
the first time, i realized (not as written above) i was using rev. HD 2.1
now it was on 3.0
i know, there's a 3.1 out there, but i really dont want to test it.. something's really strange here? (same error happened another time :===/)
I suggest you to reset your Desire HD
thanks,

[Q] restart with all ROM

Hi everyone,
I have rooted my HTC nine month ago and it was great. After some time (3 month) it started sometimes block and restart in some aplications, so I instaled another ROM, but it was same. I have traied about 10 ROM (cyanogen mod 2,2 and 2,3 , oxygen.....) about 5 Radios and some Kelners, but its same! When my desire restart, it block with white display wiht htc, so i have to take out battery.
Some aplications which restart it: Asphalt, navigations, robodefence...
I have traied play robodefence, immeditali after instaled new ROM (without any other instaled app), but it's the same. Sometimes, it restart after i enter PIN...
In my opinion, theres is a ploblem with botloader, but i don't know, how can i improve it.
Please help me improve it, or al least give it to original condition. And I claim it.
Sorry for my english
Did you get your Desire in the very beginning? Then it might be a faulty motherboard.
I bought it in 5.5.2010. I'd like to claim it, but they perhaps say that a have rooted it.... so pls how can I give it to original condition??
Download your stock rom from htc.com. Put your device in fastboot and run the ruu on your pc.
