Hi,
I've got a HTC Wildfire S, rooted and S-OFF.
But it's stuck in bootloop, I messed with the system/apps folder...
So now it's pretty much messed up.
Didn't install ROM-manager, I know it was kinda stupid.
How can I reïnstall a custom ROM?
Can anyone help me?
Go into recovery and flash from there, or if you backed-up then restore the rom. If you don't have any roms then you can also mount your sd card from CWM recovery. If you don't have any custom recovery then you'll have to flash it through fastboot. I would tell you the process but I'm really busy right now, but I'm sure someone will explain it to you.
Hi, thanks anyway... hopefully some other kind guy can help me
I don't have any custom recovery, only a ROM which I want to flash on to the device...

Don't install custom ROM's from Rom Manager's Download list. None of them are for Wildfire S.
Install CWM Recovery either through Hboot as a PG76IMG.zip or using Eoghan2t7's Windoze tool.
From there you should make a backup of your working ROM before trying any new ones in case of times like this...
Hi,
yes if I install the CWM recovery... can I then install my ROM? It's just a slightly modified Wildfire S Stock Rom...
And, I'm sorry to ask... But how do you install CWM through the boot menu?

Download that and connect your WFS to your PC, follow the steps which are quite easy. Then boot into recovery (volume down + power button, choose recovery by the volume buttons and power button), then choose install zip from SD and you can install the zip file (the rom) by selecting that file.
Let me know if this works
I have the same problem when using OC ROMs.
What am I doing wrong?
Now it's loading for ages or simply stuck in the bootscreen.
I too have the same problem when using OC ROMs. Why?
Hi, thanks for the help!
But I'm not quiet through yet... so I downloaded the WFS Manager, then I connected up my phone to the pc.
It was switched on, and just doing the bootloop again, showing the "Quietly Brilliant" sign over and over again.
And then I ran the tool, and it said "Please connect up your device" after I ticked on the first option ("Root And Install Recovery").
I guess this is because the WFS was bootlooping, and so the pc didn't recognise it. I also tried with the HBOOT menu on, but still the pc didn't recognise my phone. Is there anything I did wrong?
My pc (Windows 7 Ultimate x64), showed a popup saying there couldn't be found any driver for "Android 1.0". However it did work before the bootloo
If you have a card reader, or a phone that can take your SD card, then just remove your SD card, place it in an SD card reader or a device which can take your SD card, plug that device into your PC, place the ROM you want to flash onto the SD card, place your SD card back into your Wildfire, boot into recovery and flash the ROM from there.
I had a similar situation where I had an invalid xxxxIMG.zip file on the root of my SD card and a ROM that kept rebooting my device. Naturally, I started panicking, but when I got myself together, I just realized I could remove my SD card and then go into recovery, then reinsert my card and flash a working ROM.
Hope this works for you
Hi, thanks for the help. But I don't think you fully understand my problem.
So I have a stock ROM, rooted. And I messed with the system/app folder.
Now it's stuck into bootloop.
What does recovery mean? is it the menu entry in the HBOOT menu?
Because if I go to "recovery" and click it, after a few seconds I get a phone icon with a red triangle above it.
I tried putting the PG76IMG.zip file on the root of my SD card, but then in the HBOOT Menu, I get the message:
"CID incorrect !
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
What do I have to do?
find the cwm recovery thread and download the PG76IMG.zip then copy it to your sdcard then reboot to hboot. when it asks you if you want to flash recovry press volume up. then when finish instead of rebooting take out your battery. wait for 25 secs reinsert it then boot to hboot then choose recovery see new ui instead of the old one.

Hi, when I do what you say I get the error:
"CID incorrect!
Update Fail!
Press <POWER> to reboot."
This is my course of actions:
I download the PG76IMG.zip file from the CWM recovery thread.
I place it in the root of my SD-card.
I start my phone pressing the volume-down button.
It automatically finds the .zip file and tries to update, but then I get the error.
What should I do?
I got what you were trying to say, I just didn't realize you had no recovery installed. I had the same error message pop up when I tried to install the recovery. I think it had something to do with the hboot being newer than something, something, blah, blah, bliddity-blah.
Anywho, I think I had the recovery installed along with the root using SuperTool.exe, but that won't work for you, since you obviously can't boot up, so you can't connect to the PC. All I can remember is I had some sort of app on my PC that allowed me to push the CWM Recovery without going through all that hboot stuff, since the S-ON wouldn't let me install PG76IMG.zip. Again, this is useless to you
My best advice is to try another PG76IMG.zip file and just keep trying until you find one that'll work, which you'll place onto your SD card from another device, of course.
EDIT: Link to where I got CWM Recovery from.
In this post there's an auto-installer that I used to flash it onto my device.
The reason you are having bootloop problems with OC roms is because your phone doesn't support OC. Don't worry though it's not just you, even my phone doesn't support OC. The best ROM to go with right now is Alquez's CM7, but I'm sure other developers will make non-OC roms.
Hi, THANKS!
I used the auto installer, and now I have the CWM recovery!
Can someone tell me now which options I should use to install the new ROM?
Maybe an advice of which ROM would be the best one?
I'd like something fast and stable, it would be handy to have one which doesn't have any stock apps installed with it...
I'd go with Jikantaru's ROM, if I wanted a more Sense-ish experience (which I, personally, don't). It does away with the bloatware, but it keeps Sense UI. I couldn't use this one, since my SD card is only 2 gigs and I can't partition it correctly :\
Therefore, my pick would be Cyanogenmod 7, which gives you a pure Android experience (no trace of HTC's bloatware, spyware or crapware). It takes away everything you don't need or most likely don't use and keeps it all clean and speedy, since there's no Sense, MotoBlur, TouchWiz or any other company-created user interface, leaving you to run everything right on top of the Android system. However, I've had some trouble with this one. First I had no mobile data connection or WiFi, and when I finally fixed that problem, I noticed I had no phone app -.-
So, now I'm using m1ndh4x8r's ROM, and I'm pleased enough with it. It lets me overclock and stuff, though I fear I might have effed something up while reverting to it from my non-fully-working CM7 flash, and now I can't install most apps :\
Now I'm pretty much waiting for a fully-operational CM7 build to come out so I can finally use my phone's full potential.
white htc screen
Hey hey =)
I installed the cm7 by alquez (already tried the RC and the nightly build) and I'm stuck at a white boot screen - I don't know if this is the boot loop error - I only see the green HTC sign with white background
Yesterday, I unlocked the phone, rooted it and today, I installed the CWM and from there, resetted the phone, data, and installed the zip.
Now, the white screen doesnt go away, even after 15min or so
Is there a thing i'm missing?
Thanks in advance!

Wipe all data and cache including dalvik from within clockwork mod
ok, shall I also format boot?
because I read it's pretty nasty deleting it if you don't install a new one, is that right? ^^
Dunno what has changed but thank you for your tip, it worked now!! =)
PS: didnt format boot ;-)
now before you tell me off, I have looked around on the forum and nothing has helped me.
xperia arc s originally running android 4.04
right,
I am fairly new to android rooting etc, and I recently rooted my phone, installed X-Parts then I followed all the instructions and formatted my phone, and then installed cm 10.1 and got error 7, I think it was. so I decided to restore the nandroid backup that X-Parts had done and it completed successfully, so then I clicked restart but it gets stuck at the "Sony" logo but it will still go into fastboot, but windows 8 says it doesn't recognise it, or it wont install or something like that.
thanks for your help
getting a bit worried as this is my phone and it was quite expensive
again thanks

download flashtool then find the stock ics in .tft format then flash it to your cellphone in flashboot..Thats what i did when my arc s got bricked
Just out of interest, if I do that will it remove carrier branding
right, new problem. i have fixed all of the above and now i have downloaded cm 10.1 for arc s. i have copied .zip files for rom and for gapps, and have flashed the kernel succesfully, and now i want to boot into recovery (which i have installed on my arc s) and when i turn the phone on in order to boot into recovery, wipe the phone and cache, and flash the rom the phone vibrates and the LEDs change colour, finally finishing on yellow and then it does nothing. why?

Specs before:
Xperia Play R800i
Bootloader unlocked
Rooted
Custom ROM: 4PDA-XPlay-Gamer-4.0-Full.zip
Kernel: LuPuS-v12-iCs-720.img
What happened?
So this Friday my phone suddenly was powered off while it should've had enough battery remaining.
I charged it assuming somehow some apps used my battery real fast or something.
Then when everytime I tried boot it it only goes into CWM recovery. I checked it there's a volume up key stuck but that's not the case.
It also gives me an error:
E: Missing bitmap icon_installing (Code: -7)
Tried
Through recovery menu: Factory reset, Manually wiping everything, reinstall NXT ICS custom rom
-> no effect
Using Flashtool:
flashed the same kernel again I had -> same error, same problem
flashed a different kernel LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv6-full.img -> got into recovery which didnt display an error
flashed stock ROMs:
R800i_4.0.A.2.368_World ->
Xperia_Play_2.3.3_UK_Generic -> cant boot to system but touchscreen doesnt work
R800i_4.0.2.A.0.62_phoenixvendor -> stuck on boot screen
R800i_4.0.1.A.0.283_ReFlash -> stuck on boot screen forever
flashed a different kernel LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv6-full.img -> I restored an backup which I made when I was stuck in recovery which worked (I got my old rom and settings and got boot into system) but touchscreen didnt work
Anyone got an idea what the cause might be?
I would try other kernels as well but all links are dead....

Push this up ! i got 100% the same Problem today.
Noone got a awnser ?? sometimes the device boots...
have to restart it ~ 30 times till it gets into System... if it runs it runs smooth everything works it is just the boot that doesnt work well.
I don't now if im right.. but is this your problem ?? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1252038 or do you want to try it..

Hello everyone,
first of all newbie alert!!!!!!! I'am new to kernel's rom's ftf's and so on.
As far as I have understood the kernel sits on the whole hardware and on top of that we have the ROM (OS), right.
The steps I took:
1. Made a back up of my data with the Xperia companion as well as performed a system repair (to have a clean slate so to speak).
2. I unlocked bootloader successful.
3. Flashed this custom kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58567087#post58567087
4. I rebooted the phone through the fastboot
5. Entered recovery mode, I saw that I had both TWRP and CWM, installed SuperSU
After that I realized that the phone is on a permanent bootloop. I tried flashing different kernel's but the same problem nothing after the sony sign.
I kindly ask for your help!!!!!!!!!
I managed to overcome the problem.
I found and installed this custom ROM with TWRP : lineage-14.1-20171018-munjeni-amami
I have not encountered any issues no bugs so far. camera, sd card, mobile provider.... everything seams to be working.
With though anything is weird from my steps please let me know, im still wondering why i have two recovery apps now available (maybe couse i flashed several kernels ???).....
