Wildfire - blank screen will not go into boot menu?? - HTC Wildfire S

A friend has asked me to look at his Wildfire, he said it was updating the Market and then blank screened. Since then it will not turn on, vibrates, then nothing.
I suspected screen (replaced a few wildfire ones now) but no sign of life from touch buttons, volume key, etc - so suspect it is bricked.
Tried to flash it with RUU but the phone will not go into the boot menu via volume down & power on. I've tried numerous times and it went into boot menu once, but you could not select anything, no keys working.
Hooked up to laptop and laptop could see it, but when you try to run the RUU you get Error 170, probably becaused it's not actualy in USB Boot mode.
Has anyone seen this? Any other tricks to get it into boot menu? Anything I can run from laptop or SD card to force it into a recovery or boot menu?
This is a stock ROM phone, not modified at all.
Any help much appreciated

Am sorry but this the Wildfire S forums not Wildfire , write above on find your device buzz and go to that phone , it is the Wildfire forum , those guys might answer ...

Oops, sorry, my mistake!!

What did you want to do?
Flashing Recovery Image with Unrevoked?
I am trying to
(1) unroot using Painless root by UnrEVOked
(2) flash a cooked ROM
Did you downloaded the hboot driver?
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/l...unrevoked.com/recovery/android-usb-driver.zip
U should connect your Desire to pc and mount USB Storage and only after this run unrevoked.exe in admin mode Hboot mode should enter automatic.
Sry for my english ;-)
Edit: I think u want to root not unroot ? =)
The steps is as follow
1) Download the unrEVOked modified USB driver and expand it somewhere you will remember.
2) Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.
3) Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen
I am stuck at #2
You are completely powering the phone off first, aren't you? Then hold volume down and tap power keeping volume down held until hboot comes up.
Try put your device Power Down and start it with back + power then select Hboot mode with power button.....This should help ;-)
please help.

HTC Desire Loop problem
Hi All,
Been reading the threads, having had this problem with my HTC desire:
Went to a Boot Loop this morning and I haven't yet performed the CLEAR STORAGE function. Called HTC to complain that I have to loose my data and asked them if they can help deleting some of the data on the phone's own memory, so I can restart it. I think the problem occured when the low memory message appeared. From HTC told me that they cannot do that for legal reason.
Does anyone know how I can access the phone memory, delete some data and then restart it, rather than CLEAR STORATE it, since I will loos all my sms and phone book, setings, etc...
Please if you know, let me know.
Thanks you
Plamen
To boot your Desire S into hboot by holding ‘back’ button down, your SIM card should be inside the phone.

[Q]Successfully rooted-and installed GingerBread- then attempted to restore

Hi,
I broked it???
Well as my title states, I rooted my phone- then went on to install Gingerbread (? spelling ). After two days of disliking it. I wanted to go back to the regular htc or pre gingerbread setup/install.
During the process I was unable to use the back up that was on the sd card and that was backed up on my pc. Rom Manger kept saying it was corrupt, well i took it that way.......
From there I found this-
androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/99828-video-howto-unroot-incredible-downgrading .html
I did everything the instucitions said, and then when it was time for it to reboot and do its thing.. It sat at a black screen... And that where I am at now.
Recap:
After attempting to restore defaults using PB31IMB file. I'm now stuck at a NO SCREEN.
When you start the phone the phone vibrates once. Like it starting up but nothing. I hold down the VOL DOWN and Power, nothing. I hold down the VOL UP and power, I gut nothing but three vibrates...
I have attempted:
I've tried using ADB, but ADB is unable to see the device when I do, ADB device. Both using Vol + and power and Vol - and power. But nothing.
Am I S.O.L?
Well... I think I got the phone to boot normally... I jut don't have a LCD screen... No picture.... Still trying
Fixed it.. Sorry I posted this...
Found out that i have a SLCD or something, used this:

[Q] DHD crashed and won't go pass the Bootscreen/ can't navigate it either

Hallo,
just now I was trying to open an app on my DHD but it kept force closing so I decided to Normaly restart it. When I did that it went to the Welcome Logo then got stuck and kept on turning on and Off.
Then I removed the battery and tried again. This time the Bootscreen appeared (I was glad since I could recover a backup version of the RAM) but to my amazement I couldn't navigate through the options. Even the power button didn't work. I tried several times but with the same results.
I was wondering is there a way to restore my mobile from my laptop (USB Debugging?) now after I reached this state?!
How could I solve this?
Any help would be appreciated
UPDATE: I noticed before the Bootscreen loads, there appears some messages quickly before they disappear. I kept on turning my phone on and off to see what they said eventually I came out with this
P98DIAG.ZIP
Image not found
.

P98DIAG.NBH

ring any bell?

Can you navigate any menus? If you can't you probably have a volume key hardware issue. If you can, i would just put a p98diag.zip on the root and reflash (use the rooted one).
Sounds like you are booting into bootloader. You need recovery. Pull the battery, then reinsert and hold volume down + hit power. If that doesn't work if you have adb set up on computer, plug it in to computer and use adb reboot recovery.

I guess that you have a PD98IMG.zip on sd card.
Remove it or everytime you reboot in bootloader it will ask you to update in a never ending story. Probably this is why all other commands are not working except reboot.
Then reboot bootloader and go to recovery.
No I can't navigate (the weird thing is the power button also dosen't respond) it's like it freezes as soon as it turns on... Could you give me the PD98IMG.zip in a separate link?
I tried reinst the battery while holding the volume + but it didn't work. It vibrated 4 times while the charge light turned green but that was it. It stayed green and the screen was off...
I've always had the volume keys issue even before it went crazy (they do not always respond to my press) but I just installed 3rd party apps as a workaround.
I couldn't find the p98diag.zip anywhere on the SD card (could you give me the path for it?)
I will try to reboot it through my laptop but could someone give me the commands I should write? I'm not that experienced in that field.
Btw I left it for a while before I turned it on again, it went into Safe Mode (no apps no nothing) then I turned it off and after several tries it finally turned on in the normal mode and was almost stable until I restarted it and it went to point 0 again and now I'm stuck with the bootscreen :S
Thanks for your help
Do you have adb set up on your computer? If so then connect phone to laptop. Open command prompt type "adb remount" then "adb reboot recovery"

while looking through the files I used to root my phone when I bought it I found the p98diag.zip. I copied it to my SD Card and wanted to install it. It found it but then it said
Parsing...[SD ZIP]
[1] BOOTLOADER
[2] BOOT
....
but it's been like that for 2 hours now. I tried reinst the battery and pluging in the mobile to my laptop but it didn't recognize it. (I tried the adb and it gave me Device not found" error!
Is it normal for the phone to take long to parse the zip file? what should I do now?

You shouldn't have installed pd98diag. I would suggest either trying to run the ruu to get back to stock, or find the stock rom in pd98img.zip form and place on root of sdcard. Then reroot and start over.
Edit: if you find the stock rooted in pd98img.zip form that should work too and you won't have to reroot.
Edit 2: be sure to remove the pd98diag.zip from your sd card.

Good advice! I still have all the files I used to root (even the RUU)
And you're right I shouldn't have flashed the old pd98img because now my laptop can't recognize my mobile and I can't debug it from the command line (it says Device not found)
Can I still be able to root the img without using my phone? I used this guide to root my phone (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-downgrade-htc-desire-hd-to-root-it-after-ota-update/)
Where can I find the rooted img? and will it be possible for me to upload it here so that someone could root it for me on his device and give it to me rooted?
To boot into recovery
Hold down volume - button (not +) while pressing power button.
Let go of power button but continue pressing down on volume -.
Hey presto ... recovery.
It's a very easy mistake to make, I did it myself a few times when I first got into rooting and flashing ROM's.
lol!
no mate I wish it was like that.

I have a way but I cant remember it lol
If I can remember when I get home, i'll re-post.
OK, cool
Made slight progress today, even though I had the boot menu come up once yesterday, but no response from keys, I did notice that even though I was trying to access boot menu, it was actually acting like it was in the menu, just blank screen, i.e. if I held power button afterwards I got no vibration, but if I did pull battery and hold power, I did, as if it was booting up.
I wonder if in actual fact the screen is dead, but also there is a software hang up, as if display was dead, you would still be able to swipe the screen, get touch keys to light up when pressed, etc.
Anyway, so I went into boot mode, blank screen, pressed power anyway which would be FASTBOOT - right?
Hooked up to PC, ran an RUU and it connected OK, went through process but failed on ID, because the phone has a T-Mobile ROM and I was trying to flash with non-branded one.
So I either need to find a T-MOB UK RUU, I found one but it wouldn't run, or I need to create a goldcard (can I do that with a semi bricked device?) and go down that route.
Either way, I'm pretty sure the LCD is dead, so for the sake of £7.50 I'll replace that first, even if it has got further issues, having a working LCD will help!!
yeah get the screen fixed first.
you will only have to fix the screen later and the hassle of trying to fix a phone with broken screen, to have to have it fixed later anyway isnt really the most logical way of doing things

I do not get all of what u are saying, but if you can't move in hboot your problem is probably a bad sdcard. Try using a different one..

I think you will have to start again all process. Check if you have all USB driver installed ( if not, download HTC Sync from HTC site, install, reboot your system, then remove HTC Sync from your PC. JUST HTC Sync, not other diver wich have been installed ). After that process can be started. Check USB debugging and see if "charge only" is selected ( uncheck "ask me every time" ).
When the process start, choose 1 and let it to work. It will do everything without your help . When phone goes to hboot menu, you will see "volume up to ..bla bla...and volume down to ..bla bla. Only then hit once volume up. Now everything it shold be fine.
Ok i will try to explain what happend.
1. I done everthing like in instructunions,
2.Downgrade started copy files and so one, then it started all stuff in the phone some bares apears,extract stuff.
3. I must choose items with voluem keys it doesnt work, so i picked the first with power key.,everything goes fine.
4.hboot starts voluem keys doesnt work,power key also.cant even shut down with power key.
5.if i restart phone normaly, its freeze at htc logo
6. i if start phone with volume - and power key ,hboot appears but voluem keys doesnt work.
7.i plug usb ,start the phone with hboot , pc doest react ,like its not pluged in.
8 i plug usb start normaly, i see just in hardware manager an usb mass storage device,thats it i do not see in "my computer"
ok without sd card i cant navigate in hboot)

Uninstall the drivers and install them again with the phone unplugged...check what happens then. Have u installed anything else apart from running the Hack Kit?
