I have just been given the desire by my wife as a late Christmas present and decided that I wanted to run a WWE rom on it as it was locked to O2. All went well and I flashed the generic ROM using a goldcard without too much of an issue. However I noticed that I was getting a really bad phone signal (1 bar instead of 3-4) in comparison to the stock O2 rom so I decided to use RUU to push the branded one back. This would not take so I extracted the ROM file and copied it to my goldcard root changing the file name to PB99IMG.Zip.
I have done a similar process many times using custom roms on my HD2 without issue. However during the flash process the screen went blank and that was that.
All I get is a charge light and it vibrates once when I power on. I guess the ROM is stuffed but if anyone has any ideas.....
Ho hum
You flashed a rom with no drivers for your screen so an amoled rom vs a slcd rom
that sounds about right, does that mean theoretically it should be running an OS even though I cant see it?
You are a star, I went through a blind rom recovery using a goldcard and a correct ROM and it is currently reloading!
What were the odds!!!!
I have an HTC one V (Cricket) and I am going to spontaneously combust over this phone!!!!
I followed all of the instructions for installing the PACman ROM (including flashing the boot ile) THREE TIMES before I finally got it to boot. Then after booting I got caught in a reboot cycle. I used the RUU to put the phone back the way that it was and started from scratch. Followed the instructions again and now I'm hung an the splash screen (pretty cool by the way)...
I want the phone rooted with this ROM, but it's really kicking my a**! HELP ME SOMEONE!!!!!!!!

Did you do a full wipe? Everytime?
Did you flash the right kernel for your ROM?
Could it be that the zip file for your ROM is corrupted?
Did you flash the right ROM (CDMA/GSM)?
did you recently purchase the phone? maybe you downloaded an older version. only the new releases and nightlies work with the latest radios. download the newest one and try again. or if you want working camera, downgrade your radio. there's a tut somewhere around here. good luck and hope I helped a little bit.

odin from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975560 EDIT: Do you back up your apps with titanium or similar?
Its a stock shipped rom rooted with teamwin recovery, And yes I always titanium backup, though I need to start backing up some system folders as well for complete backups. I thought I was on 4.1.2 from 1/28, but after flashing I see some updated buttons. Anyway I was able to get into recovery and flash a factory rom as normal without losing anything and its snappy like new. Im not sure why it was locking up so much and then got stuck in a boot loop but from now on I know to nandroid factory roms as often as custom roms.
Time to backup and try out some sense roms. I never thought I would like an Android overlay.
What Sense rom are you running on your Note II??

ok guys i have htc one x and my nephew just got a wildfire s and tried to root and rom it.
so heres where im at. ive flashed this rom but im stuck at the htc logo.
he installed the latest CWM for this phone 5.0.2.8. then full wipe and installed a few roms but none worked and then i got here.
with my one x i have to flash boot.img but as far as i can see thats not the issue here??
can anyone help?
It's a gsm wfs with a sim slot. I'm assuming the next step is to install the correct RUU for the phone right?
the phone is stuck at the htc logo
Can someone possibly point me to the correct RUU? Its a UK phone that was on Tesco/o2 mobile and I cant find the right RUU.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Nothing??

Usually when you're stuck on the HTC logo it's because the ROM you are trying to flash also needs the kernel flashed, which you have to be S-off to do and the developer you got the ROM(s) from should have provided it. You were very general, but I presume a full wipe was cache, dalvik-cache, data/factory reset, and (optional), battery stats? Are you just plain stuck, can't do a factory reset and/or didn't make a backup before trying the ROMs? I was going to flash this ROM at one time and he gives some pretty good instructions to follow...sounds like it might work for you. Better than staring at the HTC logo, eh?!

Thanks for the reply. I can get to recovery but I can't install anything as recovery can't seem to find the internal storage.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 4
Most recoveries are going to look on the external storage, the actual sd card. Can you move your ROM to that and give it a try? Just to save time, I'll say I'm figurin' the sd card is formatted (FAT 32) and if there's a problem seeing that you might have to go into, "Mounts and Storage" and mount the sd card. I'm in the middle of a movie and will get back after, if you have another question I can help with. Hope it works.
ok so i finally got CWM to see the sdcard and i installed a rom and flashed the boot.img.
now the phone just reboots into recovery. what the hell is wrong with this dam phone????!?!?!
So far we've been successful with the, "One step back and two steps forward" approach so:
You extracted the boot.img file from the ROM zip to your PC for use after and then installed the ROM, rebooted the phone into recovery>>fastboot, hooked up to the PC in a command prompt and changed directory to where you have the boot.img and the adb/fastboot command files and at the command prompt typed: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Typically you would then type: fastboot erase cache, or back in recovery wipe the cache and reboot to find the ROM (slowly) booting for the 1st time.
I'm a one step at a time person (so I know what worked). So if all that's true, and it's still stuck in a recovery loop then I'd try wiping cache again and dalvik-cache and rebooting.
If that doesn't work I'd suggest one of two things:
1. Start over and I don't mean at htcdev, but wiping cache, dalvik, and data...install ROM, flash boot.img, wipe cache reboot...or
2. We can go over all the steps (as briefly as possible for both our sakes) and I'll say why: one time I was writing a macro and it just wouldn't work, after 3 days of spending too much time on it each day I asked someone else to look at it and he found I had missed a slash or used a comma instead of a semi-colon or some one simple thing. So it wouldn't hurt to see if there was one little thing skipped.
Lastly for now - if you post again, whatever you post, just for my curiosity tell me which (compatible with the Wildfire S) ROM your wanting to use.
First of all I just want to thank you for trying to help.
I did those steps perfectly and they've always worked with my HTC one x but no dice with this wildfire.

That's the ROM I'm trying to get to boot.
I really want to fix this phone for my nephew but its not looking good.

I know how it is...we all get fixed on wanting one thing and then intent on making it work.
I did a quick look at the page for your intended ROM and first thought, aha...in the instructions to install, the wipe file he provides seems to indicate for a marvelc in the name, so does it wipe all it should on a gsm WFS; but, then he's got that link to the ROM for a marvel c(dma); anyway I did a quick search of the thread (there are 119 pages!) for, "Reboots into recovery" and found this (among others):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206780&highlight=reboots+into+recovery&page=102
I do see where there was a rebooting into recovery problem with this ROM and a fix was applied in July 2013. I think the link above is to the, "fixed" ROM (hopefully for GSM WFS) but I'm not going to claim that as fact; again, I just took a quick look between my morning news readings and did not read around the problem or, about Lizards patch.
We could go deeper like formatting partitions, but since he has provided a wipe script and there's so much info there...well, I'm not dumping you, but I am thinking researching there might get you more specific results since we've pretty much been going through the generic version of flashing ROMS. What do you think?
ok i read the entire thread and flashed all the fixes etc but no dice. however i did flash a different rom altogether and now everything seems to be working fine!!!!!
dont know why that never occurred to me before!
i must say thank you for all your help. it is very much appreciated
now for some strange reason the original rom now works !!!!!!!!!
For as long as I"ve been fooling around with electronic devices, it often still just seems like, "PFM" sometimes; and, I don't know how many times I've done the right thing over and over and over and then just given up and set it aside only to pick it up again a day or two later and then everything goes like it should...and not doing anything different!
I'm glad you got everything going again, and I'm sure you just want to get back to enjoying it, but I'm curious to know (along with anyone else that might be following) what ROM finally worked, and then you ended up going back to which, "Original" ROM, stock?
I hear you on that. So many times I've had to work on systems for hours then magically I'll do something and it works.
What I did was flash another custom ROM which was unofficial cm10.2 it's on the main page made by owl. That booted up fine but I wasn't happy with that ROM so I flashed the one that I've been trying to flash, marvellous cm10, the one you helped me with.
The only thing I did differently was flash the boot. IMG after I flashed the ROM , I usually flash the boot image first on my one x.
And that's about it.

I clicked a thanks (and thank you for yours). I enjoyed the exchange and glad you've got it going. The Wildfire S is a great phone, especially for me (although I have my SIM in another phone now) and hopefully your nephew, because it needs to be managed, tuned, tweaked, etc. which is what I love to do and hopefully your nephew will too and keep at it now that you got him off to a good start.
good start yes, but i have to fix the mistakes!! lol
Do you know where u can get int2ext?

I've always been happy with Link2SD, but you can't beat moving all of data to SD.
Try this:

also, this is an easy way to get init.d if you don't have that...I think it's needed for int2ext:

If you don't want to jump all the way to starting over with ODIN flash, you can just load TDH-JR ROM, which has probably what you want: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s6/development/rom-tdh-jr-rom-t3550677 -- maybe give that a shot.
I fixed it yesterday finally, thanks for the response though but I ended up doing I downloaded like three different Factory ROMs and I tried each one of them thinking that but then I read somewhere that once I upgrade the CPL or somewhere along them lines that I can't go back but they added this stupid ass code that you can't go backwards cuz of the battery issues they had when all the galaxys were blowing up, somet hi ing l8ke that, so after I read about that I went ahead and well obviously at that point you just want to fash yiur factory ROM at that point is the ROM that you upgraded to just grab that same ROM and use the same kernel and everything and I did and it booted but I sold that
S6 i think I'm going to try I'm and check that ROM out that you just posted the one I'm on now the black one that were referring to right now I sold the yesterday after I fixed it but this white one is the better one and I'm about to root it now plus it's already unlocked it's a Galaxy SM g920p 32gig unlock I'm rocking MetroPCS on it right now and I'm getting pretty good signal actually.
