how to fix this if possible...

hey guys, the history goes like this... a guy is selling a desire at a really low price, is brand new but when you turn it on it jumps to the fastboot screen right away
sooo my question is... could it be a software issue? or maybe the volume keys are messed up?
here is a picuture of it ---> http://s357.photobucket.com/albums/...ire/?action=view&current=2010-09-11201019.jpg
i havent tested the phone myself, just seen pictures and talked to the owner....
I have a g1 and i have adb and fastboot working on my laptop so, could i root it from there flash a rom and maybe it will fix that? what do you guys think?? any ideas??

This is purely guesswork, but it could be water damaged.

Warranty? If not then buy yourself a can if campressed air and take the phine apart.. not that hard I did it!

the phone is brand new and it seemw like this guy has a bunch of desires, he says he received this one in a recent batch but this is the only one with a problem... so i dont think it could be water damage, maybe a really hard fall? or shake? cause it look perfect no scratches or scuffs or dents or nothing... weird uh?
I really want to buy it but i dont want to waste my money...
any other ideas? my main question is that if it can be fixed with root and a new rom... maybe?

Just out of curiosity... what was the problem with yours and how did you fixed it?? i think that this one might have the back key stucked cuase thats how you go into the bootloader right?? pressing down power and back??
edit: ok, he sold it to another person... i got a mytouch slide for now... thanks for the help anyways

[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.

Well, it is vibrating, isn't it? Not fully dead then.
Start looking into adb, setting your pc up with that which is probably the way you'll need to go to fix it if it is possible to fix, and wait for glevitan to show up here. He'll do so sooner or later or muikkiman (im almost sure I just killed your nick), even darunion.

I am here....I am showing up...man, you have messed the bootloader. It is a slow way to fix it...and you will have to do it yourself with the steps you will be given in the IRC channel in my signature.
Your phone is not bricked, but is very slow motion....if you leave it for about 20/25 minutes it probably will boot "normally", so you have to fix that first before doing anything. Unfortunately you won´t be able to use the Hack Kit to root the phone as It is gone from XDA....for good

Ok, let´s get things straight, the Hack Kit does not use froyo hboots or flash ENG S-OFF, so if you messed your bootloader YOU did it. Stop blaming someone else for what u have done to your device.
Your motherboard is not damaged...you bootloader is messed. You have to fix that and everything will be working fine...

If the phone is not booting at all...then go for the motherboard...but if it is stuck in the splash, then you have to fix the bootloader. That can be fix as long as the phone boots....

[Q] [PROBLEMS] Problem with touch screen

Hi!
I have installed a new touch screen in my device desire, but is not working good.
What is the problem?
The HBOOT returns at image.
Thanks at all.

The problem is the black stripe on the screen? Did you connect everything accordingly?

No, the stripe is only the plastic protector.
I think that all things is right connected.
My Original touch have CHIP = C1 and the new screen had CHIP = E8
*CHIP <-- Reference a image

I don't understand your problem. A lcd sostution shouldn't compromise anything, but maybe... (????) your nand was deleted?
Can you enter recovery? Try to install something

I was trying a touch with different chip and it did not work at all (6 mounts ago - don't remember how do the chip was called)
But can you explain what is your problem?

When I was trying another tuch my phone also boot up normally, but had no response.
So I think a47hitman have similar case..

maybe its the wrong one so. i just assumed that if the phone boots n looks normal then something is faulty r not connected.

seen smth similar to this. its most probably a matter of connection cable. try cleaning the connectors.
