[Q][Urgent] Wildfire Died?

Well I rooted my htc wildfire and overclocked it.
Everything seemed to work fine for a few months
and then...
I got a text message, and I responded to it, but I did also see that my battery was almost empty, then after responding, I putted my phone in my pocket, Then like 15 minutes later, I looked at my phone and it didn't do anything anymore, so I thought, my battery ran out, nothing to worry about then I got home, plugged in my phone... led didn't turn on... phone didn't charge. I was like damn, maybe my battery died? So I went outside to someone who also has a Wildfire and asked if I could try his battery, We switched batteries and my phone still didn't work
Does anyone know how i can fix this? my phone doesn't respond to ANYTHING I've tried

These symptoms are a bad omen.

Does it pick anything up plugging it into a computer?

Than that would be the first wildfire thats been bricked AFAIK
Maybe it's a hardware issue, something as motherboard or CPU or maybe the connector for the lcd screen has become loose
EDIT: Did your phoneshowany sign of intability before you put it in your pocket; was it hot?

lol, how can it be bricked if I used the root for a few months and didn't change anything to it for a while?
also @lcd poster
if it was my lcd, my led should still turn on when inserting the phone to a power connection
also I do also think it is something with my mainboard/cpu, i've read on the internet that i'm not the only one with a phone that just doesn't respond to anything anymore (wildfire) even others who hadn't rooted their phone got this issue, although they have garrantuee :s
sorry for my bad english

Anyhow its great u r not bricked bt if u have damaged CPU so do u have warranty/guarantee?

Rooted and overclocked, I don't think my warranty is still valid?

Yes your warranty is void. But, if you were on a Stock / Sense based ROM, you *may* be lucky and the service guys may not notice.

But maybe they won't start repairing it and give me just a new one, (since it's more expensive to repair the phone then to give me a new one i guess) and then they'll won't notice either?
also, if I do bring back my phone and they find out about it, will they charge me for the repairing costs? even if I don't want it to be repaired if it will cost me? (I already bought an iphone now, but sometimes i just want to experiment back with my android xd)

I really can't answer that mate. Policies vary widely across stores and nations. But, don't hold your breath for a new one, I think that case is extremely unlikely. I guess your best bet is to give them the phone, and have them contact yo regarding it's situation, repairs, and costs (if any) after their preliminary inspection / assessment. Only after their assessment, you give the go ahead to repair / replace (If free ).

HTC and Apple don't roll the same way.
Apple's products aren't even worth repairing, thus they don't bother doing that.

it might be an lcd problem this thing also happened to me...

I know quite a few friends of mine who had similar issues with other HTC devices and they just went to the shop and they were given new ones in a short time. usually guys at the customer service are ignorant and don't check for anything, even if in your situation it should be impossbile to know which rom you're mounting.
my advice is go there and have a brand new wildfire, nobody will discover it's without warranty

Mabye its static?
Once my brothers netbook had a static build up causing a problem i dunno if the same rules apply but try: take out battery -> hold power on for around 30secs, If that didnt work try getting into bootloader holding vol down and power on when your phones off
Hope my ideas worked and that your wildfires better

I have same problems
When i trying root my HTC device ... there are something wrong... so it can't boot after rooting.
I think that it was bricked.
How to unbrick HTC Wildfire? Pls, help me resolv this problem

[Q] Wildfire S won't boot or do anything at all - no bootloader/splash screen

Hey guys,
writing to you because of a friend's wildfire s (Unbranded!, Software Version was: 1.33.401.2)
She told me that the phone became very slow and so on, so I told her it would be good to update to newest software (if that would not pleasure her, we could try a costum rom).
So I tried it via OTA, but the phone kept telling me it was up to date for days.
So I thought why not updating it the old method via RUU. I grabbed "RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.2_Radio_47.23a.35.3035H_7.53.39.03M_release_225747_signed.exe" somewhere from the internet, did everything as described there and the update went flawlessly, it told me from 1.33.401.2 to 2.13.401.2 as expected
I got the message that the flash was successful and that the phone needs to reboot. So did it, but now it's just dead.
The only thing it does is flashing the screen up (it's still black, just the backlight's on) and then it switches of again - that happens in circles, on and on - nothing more, no splash screen, no chance to get into bootloader.
It seems like its totally smashed up? I really don't know why regarding the fact that the flash went flawlessly and that everything seemed to fit to me (or did I chose the wrong RUU? - Dont think so )
What will be the next steps? I think there's nothing more I can do, it's HTC's time now or not? Do they repair such devices/cases under warranty?
Thank you guys for your help and please don't forgive me my bad english, it's late here in Germany
DN41

I don't recall anyone recovering from this. It looks like the ruu didn't run properly and flashed a bad/corrupt radio If you have warranty, i suggest you go claim it

Problem is, hat about one week ago i changed her digitizer because it was broken. Doing that, i had To remove
The void-sticker.
We all Here know that The issue is Not related to my work (Yes? D) but What will htc do? I guess they wont do anything and just send it back with void warranty? :/

Don't know. Never done that before

Ok thank you mate.
Let's see what they gonna tell me...I really don't know what has happened cause I did that many times before on my other devices like the hd2, dhd, td and so on.
Man, this is so weird.
I've stumpled upon some ebay offers for jtag bootloader repair for about 30-40€ - this should work as well I think, did you make any experience with that in the past?
Thanks a lot mate, your help is greatly appreciated.

update crash

Hey people,
I've got the opportunity to buy an desire.
The problem is that the phone has crashed during an update.
I won't pass the boot screen.
Can I buy this phone and make it work again?
Or is it a waist of money?
Best regards,
Sven Bakker

Hmm, just a failed update...
It can be, but it doesn't need to be...
Pvt1 device or...
A lot more than you can imagine...

What does the boot screen say? Do you have any response with the volume up down buttons. Is there any fast boot or recovery access?
Sent from my Desire

The only thing i know is that it goes to the boot screen, it shows 3 androids on skateboards.
I dont know if the volume button still Works ( i assume it does )
What do you think? Is it fixable?
It doesnt have to be the google Android. Every costum OS that makers the phone work again is welcome haha

You got to write down what's written on the bootscreen. The volume keys move cursor on the boot screen?

This is the picture of the bootscreen, this is wat the seller was giving me.
What is supose to happen when you press the volume button?

volume buttons just navigate up and down the menu. to get the phone working u have to create a goldcard and run the latest wwe ruu from fastboot. click bortaks troubleshooting guide in my sig and everything u need is there.

Now, seeing that the phone has a well known PVT1 motherboard it can easily be that you got a cracked device, that will eventualy work and update would be pushed after a freezer trick. However it can end up with overheating reboots.

Thanks guys, its good to hear that the phone is fixable.
Thank you for your help!
what is the difrents between a cracked device and a ''normal'' one?
One question left though,
Is it hard to fix it? haha
Thanks in advance!

yes can be fixed but like nlooooo says because its pvt1 model it could be a motherboard problem of over heating which is well known for that model. so this could be why its for sale in that state. so i personaly would not buy it. thats just my opinion

over heating motherboard = hardware problem and causes phone to bootloop and not work. now if its a failed update then probably tried an ruu or that and it failed

The guy wants to sell it for 35 euro's
But what I don't get, when the phone is in the boot screen, then the hardware must be fine, or else it wont go to that screen right?

no because bootloader uses very little power. if it was me id buy it and take a chance for 35 euro. if it works then u got a great deal if it dont then u lose 35 euro which aint that bad, thats just my opinion

I Think I Bricked My Phone.. Any Advice?

Hey guys . I Picked up a three month old galaxy this morning. I have had problems rooting before but always managed to fix them but this I cannot figure out. Here is exactly what I did and what happened.
1.First I rooted my phone using GalaxyS3RootUSCanadaMac.
2. Downloaded the following, superuser, ezunlock, and rom manager.
3. Flashed clokworkrecovery through rom manager.
4. Unlocked the bootloader with ezunlock
5. Tried to reboot into recovery via clockwork and it would just hang and never reboot.
6. Decided to do a restart , so I clicked power on the right hand side and selected restart.
7. Fell asleep and woke up to a dead phone.
I cannot get it to boot at all , not even in download mode. I get no lights or vibrations when trying to boot. If I remove the battery and hook the usb cord in I get a red light at the top but not with the battery in.
Any info on what I might have done wrong or what I can try to do to fix it would be great.
Thanks in advance guys.

This is completely inapplicable to the i747m, and the reason your phone's bricked.
Unless you can somehow get into download mode, you're going to need a JTAG to recover it.

I believe I read about someone else who used this. The unlocker is made for the Verizon variant. You will need JTAG service to get your phone up and running.

I install a custom rom. it's working properly. but a few days ago, it says weather widget stop working. and i uninstall it using titanium backup. but after a few days later, the screen is not turning on but it got sound from the lockscreen and opening app drawer. i tried few ways. then, it's working again. but just now, it happened again. screen off. the boot and lockscreen can be hear properly. is it the rom problem or my screen problem? if it is my screen problem, how do i claim warranty since the device already rooted. please help me. this really made me sad. :crying:

when you reboot, can you see those white words(galaxy note 2 etc.)? if you cant see those, i am sorry, but it is going to be a screen problem.
you rooted it, but it doesnt matter because they wont be doing anything with your system. they will just change the LCD, so no need to unroot it.

If your screen is dead, they can't check if the phone is rooted until they fix the screen
Even if they fix the screen, they will most likely be too lazy to check if its rooted.
I once completely destroyed my partitions on my old galaxy by entering a Motorola command in Terminal, + it was rooted
I got my money back

You could try removing the marker with something, and then try sending to the Store you bought it from.

yeah. i was totally shocked when i found that written at the battery slot. Guess i'll jus go fix the lcd only since there is sound coming when i push the power button. they said it will cost about 400$ to repair it. 200$ for the lcd and 200$ for the main board. i think they just want it to be original just as new. that's why they want to change the main board. what do you think?
