Sorry, i'm a noob at all this. a friend of mine asked if i could debrand his htc wildfire s. i followed on of the guides on here, cant remember which. i unlocked the bootloader and put on a europe generic rom. i was hoping this would remove the simlock. as probably expected, it didn't. he bought a code on ebay to unlock the simlock on the phone. the code was entered and it seem to work but when a sim was put in, the phone was saying sim wont allow connection to this network.
i followed various methods on here to try and cure this, but again, no go. so i bought a xtc clip to see if this would work and it didn't. so i tried various roms to see if this was the problem.
in the end someone said it was the radio rom. i updated that and the phone turned off and now wont turn on. when i plug it it there is just an orange flashing light and no response from the phone at all.
Is there anything i can do to fix this or is it totally bricked. if it is, can it be fixed cheaper than buying new.
sorry if this has been covered already but i've been trawling the internet for so long it's done my head in.
any help will be apprieciated
thanks
The xtc clip definitely should have done it for you.
Remove and replace the battery, press volume down and power, what happens?
Is it important how I sent this?
Nothing happens when i do that. I can't even get into bootloader. The only time i can get my computer to recognise my phone is to power on my phone while holding both volume buttons Dow. This makes the phone vibrate 5 times. Then when i plug it in to my computer it tries installing drivers. Something like qualcomm drivers. At work at no so can't say the exact name.
As for the clip working, that's what i thought. Thanks for replying

Thanks. I read that tutorial last night and tried it various times. Waited about 5 mins in between pressing the Vol button. Still nothing happened. Maybe I'm. Doing something wrong. I got various roms should i try all of the ones which i knew were working or does it have to be a specific one. Thanks

I downloaded the rmm from the link provided. Started the program and did the search in the temp folder for rom.zip. copied that to the goldcard and renamed to pg76img. Put goldcard in phone and started the phone by pressing both volume buttons and the power button. (This is the only way i can get 5 vibrations from the phone. And the orange light is on constant.) I pressed the up button and waited about 5 mins. Pressed up again and waited another 5 mins. Pressed up again. Waited. And still nothing. Sorry if I'm being a pain.

Ok this method doesn't always work, so if you have your warranty then go and claim it.

Ok thanks for trying to help. Not sure about warranty though as the bootloader was unlocked. They said warranty would be void.
Sorry, one more thing, where can i get the qaulcomm drivers from? Cos when i try and connect phone after the 5 vibrates my computer tries istalling these but i cant find them. Thanks again.

Ok, I guess i have bricked my phone beyond repair but i have got to ask. Yesterday i tried different roms and in the end i tried to go back to official Htc rom and tried to change back the Hboot to the original. Rebooted and now its dead. When i press volume up and power it vibrates a few times and then blinks orange. When i press volume up and volume down and power it vibrates a few time and then the light is green.
On both occasion my computer finds the phone but request the qualcomm driver which i cannot find. Anyone that has any idea what to do? I cannot get in to recovery.
I know its my fault but it doesnt hurt to ask.
Thanks

Try holding volume down and power to see if you can get into bootloader.

That is exactly what I have been doing the last couple of days, i have downloaded numerous of drivers without any luck. Been to forums and sites. I realize now that my device is not semi-bricked which would of course be better if it was. The only thing that i cannot understand is why my phone reacts when i press the buttons i wrote in my first post in this thread. Also why my comp finds my phone. Gives a little hope as it seems it is not completely dead.

If the phone shows up as either

You have an unrecoverable brick.

This morning I woke up to a message saying there was a software update from T-Mo for my T-Mo SGS2. I made a backup and then let it start, just to see. Now the phone is off and I cannot turn it back on, either to Recovery Mode or just to power on! I even plugged in the USB to my comp, still nothing. Not sure what to do? Am I bricked? I was running Juggernaut 3.7 (rooted). I thought if it wasnt a compatible update then I'd just flash the backup. but now I cant even do that. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
I'm having the similar troubles.
Mine's still works, but everytime i attempt to update it goes back to CM manager screen, and i don't know how to proceed past that. So curious to find out what the update is all about. (I am on factory rom + rooted only).
Have you tried odin back to stock?
If it turns on its might be soft bricked.

Will it go into download mode? If not then it's bricked. If it will then use odin to push one of the stock ROM's and go from there.
I won't take up screen space describing how to get into download mode... a google or forum search will result in you finding those directions.
Hope you can fix it... Otherwise call TMobile and they'll send you a replacement.
I cant even get the phone to turn on to go to any mode. I cant get the computer to recognize that there is even a device. When I hold the power button the phone doesnt even vibrate. I cant upload ODIN to the phone to set back to stock. I feel liike Ive tried everything:
Holding each of the volume buttons individually + power
Holding both volume + power
Power only.
Remove and replace battery + Above
Remove battery completely + steps above.
Im lost. Probably SOL.
Plug a USB into your computer, hold volume up and down at the same time then plug USB into your phone while holding volume buttons and see if in enters download mode.

Just tried. still nothing. the computer makes the noise like it knows something was plugged in, but nothing happens on my phone screen and a pop up comes up and says device not recognized, one of the devices connected to this compute has malfunctioned, etc.
I think this might be terminal. FML.
Might need to redownload the device drivers them try again.

Yeah. Still no dice. I re-installed device drivers twice. on two computers. Still cant get any response from the Phone. I've rooted and Rom'd 7 different phones from all the major manufacturers. This is the first one I have bricked.

2.remove the battery and put it back again
3.holding the volume - button press power on button.
If it says locked and s-on....u need to register an account at htcdev dot com and follow the instructions there.

Follow step 3 by pressing and holding the Volume Down button and pressing and holding the Power button at the SAME time for at least 5 seconds.
It will work.
Good Luck.
I found the most reliable way to get to a "S-OFF" state to allow me to install custom ROMS was to get hold of an "XTC Clip" and go down that route. As it happened I found one that can be rented on ebay for £10 and went 50/50 with a mate. It worked like a charm.

You can use this to root (its honestly much easier (opinion of mine) then all the other ways because you don't need a computer because you most likely don't have most of the things you will need to root on a computer and I'm just saving you a few hours and also make sure you delete the file you used to s-off your phone before downloading these files good luck
P.S as for the ROM we have a slow development right now most roms you see will be for the GSM version of our phone so I'm guessing you should wait (like I'm doing unfortunately) for some more stable roms to come out because most aren't complete yet

soo umm i just flashed CWM touch 6.0.1.0 and restarted my phone and for some reason my phone wont turn on... i plug it in the charger and it does nothing at all. also plugged into USB on my computer and the drivers kept popping up to install but keep failing but the phone wont do anything at all.
also tried going into download mode and fastboot mode and nothing
This should have been asked in Q&A, but I'm going to ask the obligatory questions and hope a mod moves this thread to Q&A.
What version phone do you have (maguro(yakju**/takju**), toro, toroplus?
Did you install the correct ClockworkMod recovery for your phone?
Will it not turn on at all?
If it does turn on, does it hang at the Google screen, or do you not even feel the vibration confirming the phone is on?
Was your battery charged before attempting to install the recovery?
Can you get into fastboot mode by holding both volume buttons and the power button?

Yank battery, leave it out for a few minutes...maybe even ten. Plug phone into AC (not USB) wall charger. Let sit like that for two to three minutes. Put battery back in phone while phone is still plugged in. Let sit for an hour or so to get a charge on the battery (in case it dumped). Try powering on.
Just saw you think you flashed N7 recovery....ouch. Time to download Wugs kit and see if you can get it back. I'd still try the steps above for the hell of it.

Hi , I'm having problems with my Galaxy T999. I have rooted and have not yet installed any kernels/roms. The only thing i did was installed a couple apps from the play store . and wanted to check out the CWM recovery menu and was going to try to installed "hyperX camera mod". First thing i did was shut off the phone . Then pressed on the Volume up+Home+Power button . After doing that my phone didn't turn on or anything , no vibration or anything . I hooked it on with my computer and press the power button and it was able to connect and then disconnected. I am at lost now and can't seem to find any answer . Have looked every where not sure what to do now. Any solution will be much appreciated .

It seems to disconnect due to no driver found for QHUSUB_DLOAD .
Without any solutions I'll probably gonna get my phone replace . T_T
Does your phone disconnect immediately, or does it stay connected for a brief amount of time? If it stays connected briefly, try using adb during this period to boot into recovery. The command is "adb reboot recovery" (without the quotes).

Try to remove your battery then plug in charger. See if you can turn on. If you can turn it on, leave it 30 minutes. Then put in the battery.
By the looks of the result the computer gives you when you plug it in, seems it is hard bricked! Are you sure you didn't flash anything from the I9300 section like a rom?

The hyper x camera mod isnt entirely for our phone. I've read that it's flashable to our phone though, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Maybe the OP needs to link where he got the mod. Ih and stay away from the intl version all together.

Yup its a paperweight. The Intl version has the system partition in a different place. So you borked an important one.
Only thing that's throwing me off is that the OP suggests he didn't actually get around to flashing the mod.

SGS3 T999v wont start up.
My sgs3 t999v would turn off by itself every other time I hit the lock button.
like I would be txting and then if I hit the lock button it would turn off.
So I though a factory reset would fix the problem. (volume up + home).
after the reset it still kept turning off randomly.
and now I cant even get it to the normal interface. or get in to the manual reset mode.
Device was previously jail broken, however was returned back to stock and was working fine for 3 months.
I had my otterbox on for every fall my phone had, so I dont think it would be a hardware issue.
the phone was running 4.1.1 I believe.
stock rom.
help please! :C

Can you get download mode? (Volume down, HOME and power)
Even though you have a case on it, it sounds like it was probably damaged by one of the falls. Most cases as far as I'm aware mostly protect the display. The shock from impact can still damage internal components, even with a case built with this in mind.

Hey thanks for replying!
I drained the battery and got a new charge in it and managed to get it booted up
however now the problem of the lock button is still here.
like if i use it to lock my screen it just turns off on me, and it takes multiple times for me to get the phone up and running again.
you could see if you could find a widget or widgets that will basically put a button on your screen that can power off, enable lock screen, reboot recovery/download, etc.
Then just use the HOME button to turn the screen back on.
It sounds to me like a hardware problem, but if you can flash another Rom and do a full wipe/factory reset you'll know for sure.
I hope this helps. Not sure what else you can do besides getting it repaired or replaced unfortunately.
Maybe someone else will have a better idea though.
