My wifes wildfire s has a dead screen. its now out of warranty and it will be sold on ebay. Problem is i would like to factory reset it and dont know the key sequence for this particular phone. I have checked out other posts but there is no guarantee that they have the same sequence as the wildfire. I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Do you have ClockworkMod installed or is it the Default Recovery?
If its clockwork, then read on...
1. Power+Volume Down
2. Wait about a minute for HBOOT to do its thing.
3. Key DOWN. Press POWER
4. Wait a few secs
5. Volume Down x2 then POWER
6. Then Volume Down x7 then finally Power.
That is a factory Reset.

You can also perform a factory reset straight from hboot, just boot your phone to bootloader ( pull out battery, insert it back in, hold vol down and press power button ). Now when you are ( hopefully ) in bootloader, all you have to do is wait 30 sec ( it will check sdcard for possible files to flash ), and then press volume down 3 times, then just hit power button. It should reboot once to standard recovery ( to perform a wipe ) and once again to system, you should be able to hear startup sound if everything went OK.
Thanks, I gave it a go. No way to be sure really so I'll just cross my fingers!

Hi. I have an identical issue and am wondering if the steps you described should also work on a Verizon G Nex? Thanks!

Hi
Just got into recovery mode.... trying to flash ARHD ROM. Currently have LeeDroid.
Anyway, got into recovery, did a wipe data/factory reset, like I did when I flashed LeeDroid. Once it said, "Data wipe complete.", I must have pressed something and now it says, "Back menu button disabled.".
I can go up and down on the Recovery menu, but when I try to select something using the Power button, all I get is a white box with the little green Android jumping out of it !
can't power off, restart, cant select anything... and I dont think the phone is chargin when in Recovery mode ! Alas !
What to do !!
I should have all my zip ROM files still on SD card !

I faced this kind of problem few days back. Just take of your battery and again enter into ur bootloader and next recovery. Don't know more than this. Hope your issue will be solved

Try holding down the volume down button. I had this last week & holding the vol down button re-enabled it.

Pull your battery then hold the phone side ways & put it back in as soon as its back in, without even putting the side back on, hold the volume down button and power button and you should go into the bootloader. Now put the case back on without losing contact with the battery (bit fiddly) then look.at the screen & you'll see an option for recovery. Chose that using volume keys n power button. Then proceed as normal. Their may be another way but its happened to me after a wipe before n that's what I done

This is not working for me ......
A bit reluctant on taking the battery out just yet ...
Hopefully there is a way to get the Back menu button enabled without doing that !

Just press the volume button down several times, browsing through the menu.. down down down, and it should re-apear..
That worked for me, and other´s
Edit: Don´t hold the vol button down, press it several times
What does YOUR button have to do with development???
That´s true, should be moved to general...

I am a newb here, but what I have gathered so far is that all rooting queries/threads are in Android Development thread.

Nope, the development thread is only for rom´s, radio´s & kernel´s..
Questions like this can you post (and should post) in the general thread, just so you now for the future
Edit: All thread´s here is about rooting & flashing... almost any way

Well the only thing i could advice is a factory reset and if that doesn't help go back to the store
Edit : buttons don't work CRAP !
Edit : hold the power button down untill it restarts.....but I assume you already did this

how long should it stay when i do a factory reset.. because i selected it and the screen is locked on the htc logo for ages now :|
That's to long . I think its a warranty case
Any chance that your battery level is too low ?
RMA
Looks llike a hardware problem.Go to the service center and get it repaired
Just selsct "Hboot" with volume keys & Press Power key on "hboot"
then you are on previous screen of hboot menu located 1. Fastboot 2. Recovery, 3. Factory Reset etc etc Selst 3 option by Volume keys & press power key. It will reset your phone to factory defaults ( you will loss all our Data).
Please do on your own Responsibilty, I am not responsible for any damage.
Press THANKS button if you like.

What do you mean by pressing the volume + home button after boot?
When the phone has booted how can you enter the recovery?

I installed Mahdi ROM after being at CM 11 and I wanted to go back to CM 11.
I did a full wipe and restored using a NANDROID backup and the device won't boot up.
I tried some key combinations and Adb fastboot recovery but couldn't manage to get it into recovery, how do I do that? thanks
EDIT:ADB worked. Please close thread or delete it
EDIT 2: ADB Doesn't work now!
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
EDIT 3: Nevermind, got it!
for anyone who is in the same sitation like me:
hold power + volume down key until the backlight goes off (after failed boot)
then:
hold power + volume down until the LG logo appears
release power key (DO NOT release volume down)!
then press the power key + volume up key so you're holding all three buttons. a factory reset screen should come up. press power twice (maybe 3 times? dont remember) and then you should have recovery

I don't get recovery....I get a factory reset. I am not sure if this is just deleting all data or is it really resetting the whole device to factory new?
Press yes and it gets you to TWRP or CWM, not factory reset. It is confusing

If I press the power button twice it wipes the tablet, I tried pressing it once and the tablet just restarted?
Can someone please tell me if I do a factory reset here does it even delete the TWRP? I want to send the tablet back. It was rooted and now it's not but I want to make sure that this factory reset takes it all the way back to stock.
I tried the LGMLauncher but after downloading and unpacking the software it stops and tells me it can't connect to the server?
Tried the LG tool?

I did try the LG tool. It downloads the software and then unpacks it and then stops saying the there is no connection to the server. That's as far as it will go. I installed the LG drives but this has happened 4 times with no difference. I know some people are using this tool but it just won't work for me?
Can you try a different computer? It seems to be the only way to come back to perfect stock condition

hello,
last week i've bought an HTC One M8 with a software issue. i've managed to get it working with you guys but i've got a problem, not a big one but an annoying one.
The wifi turns on slow, the menu for the wifi after i press the on button is being shown after 20 seconds. is there something i can do? i'm stock on 5.0.1, have VODAP001 cid and i'm S-on.
thanks.
There's one thing that you may not do it yet.
Is your device still have stock recovery installed ?
Boot to hboot and select recovery
When you see the phone with red triangle, press & hold volume up and press power once.
Select factory reset/wipe data (use volume rocker to navigate and press power once to select)
This usually will fix all this kind of problem.
i understand.. should've done that when it was clean ) now it's full of app, photos, sms..
