[Q] Restoring Android OS - HTC Wildfire S

Hi I just found my old phone and wanted to restore it. I honestly have no clue about this kind of procedures so I'll ask you to please be patient. I've been doing some research but wasn't really successful.
When I turn on the phone I get
*** UNLOCKED ***

RADIO-7.57.39.10M
Feb 8 2012,18:29:31
No signs of the operating system is shown whatsoever. There is a list of options:
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
I tried all of them but didn't get anything exiting. When I get to BOOTLOADER some screens are shown and then it says
Loading image [PG76IMG]
or something like that and asks "Do you want to start update". Just for the heck of it I pushed no and then it asked me to reboot. Then when I went to Bootloader again it showed the same thing but this time I pushed yes. It did some updating and then it asked me to reboot again but then the same thing happened.
How can I get past this screen? Does it even matter that I do? How can I install Android on the phone?
Thank you.

I think you don't have a recovery installed. Search for a recovery like CWM or TWRP in the forums and follow the instructons. By the way what did you do with the phone last time???

Hi thank you for your answer. I actually was looking for recoveries as suggested in another post but I'm unable to mount the phone on LInux or Windows when it is on fastboot. I have seen that many people can do this when they get into Recovery but I can't. Any hints on that?

I got this phone like a year ago and it wasn't working. Basically it was showing me the screen with the three Android logos and wouldn't start. I remember I tried some stuff I found on this blog to get a new OS on it but I didn't have much time back then as I was having finals. I remember I got the phone blocked and it said S-ON and was told how I needed to unlock it and turn it to S-OFF.

You don't have to mount it in fastboot you just have to take it to fastboot mode and connect to your PC and use the fastboot utility that comes with adb. However if fastboot does not work try to flash the recovery through SD card.....take your sd card connect to PC and delete the PG76IMG.zip that's there.....then download the flashable recovery zip and rename to PG76IMG.zip place it on SD and connect in your phone and again go to bootloader where it asks to apply update. Update it, turn off, delete or rename the PG76IMG.zip from SD and boot.......see if it can boot into recovery....or go to bootloader and select recovery.......for the recovery I will suggest TWRP (google for TWRP wildfire s) and download zip from there.

[Q] Stuck in Bootloop, cannot get into recovery either.

I have searched all over and am still coming up empty on this one. Phone was working with Cyanogen earlier today, then rebooted itself and never stopped. When I try to boot into recovery it simply goes to the white evo splash screen and reboots again.
The only thing I can do is hboot/flashboot. I could not get adb shell to load at all connected to my mac. Under windows when I select flashboot it does appear on device manager under Android USB Devices->HTC Bootloader.
I have tried RUU, connection error.
I have access to both a PC and a Mac and am open to any suggestions.

Sounds like you wish to unroot to solve your problems? If that is the case I can promise you that with patience you can get the RUU to work. If your computer is seeing your phone then you probably have all the drivers. Try to reboot your computer and then plug your phone in, go into bootloader and select the fastboot option I believe it is, whichever one lets you make connection to your computer. I would say to use the reboot bootloader option a few times to refresh then connection then trying to run the RUU.
I've tried doing hboot usb (it changes to hboot usb plug, shows in device manager) and fastboot (it shows fastboot usb and also recognizes in device manager). Cannot get RUU to work at all, period.
Do I want to RUU? No, not really. Just trying to find any way I can get the phone back up and working.
I've never done anything in hboot except by following the recovery instructions, so I am not expert.
If I was stuck in your situation I would follow the root instructions HERE. You will have copy the files to the SD card with your windows computer if that is working. If not find one of the micro SD card adapters and use a computer to put the files on the card and use hboot to flash the new recovery.
Actually go to THIS thread and follow the instruction for via bootloader. Again, if you can't connect to the SD card through usb, take it out and put it in a computer.
Flashed that new Recovery you linked via the bootloader using the PC36IMG method, still bootloops over and over again. Can't get into recovery nor anything other than the boot loader.
Seems like it is something more serious? Bad hardware perhaps? Anything I can do from here to make it seem like the device was not rooted and swap it out at a sprint store?
Is it boot looping at the Cyanogen boot screen or at the white screen that says HTC EVO 4g? Does the hboot screen still say s-off?
If the new recovery flashed successfully it should work.
If you are highlighting recovery and then hitting power and it is bootlooping you have a problem that is over my head.
White EVO screen. Still showing S-OFF, yes. If I highlight recovery and hit power, yes.. still bootloops.
Do what fazulka reccomends and put your sd card in an adapter . Sounds like your recovery got borked,
Search for your recovery of choice
Put on root of sd card and try again
You can find a .img recovery to load up and update/flash a new one thru hboot
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
Got the RUU to recognize the phone now. When updating it starts by rebooting to bootloader, where I get a darker screen with HTC in the middle. Then not so long after it gives me another connection error 170 and quits.
Edit: Jimdog, I have flashed a new recovery using hboot. Still gives me a bootloop.
Ran the RUU, it finally finished updating this time. Guess what? Still bootloops. Gets to the white evo screen when booting regular or to the recovery, then reboots. Every time.
Still showing S-OFF, is there any way to get this to S-ON so I can take this into a Sprint store for a swap out?
Try sprintlovers.
This may fix it.
go HERE.
The first link that says download it the one you want. When you download it it will be named PC36IMG.zip put that on the root of your sd card. Boot into recovery. Recovery will find the file and ask if you want to use it. I believe volume up is yes. There is long waits then it will ask you if you want to reboot, press up for yes
Should boot (note, first boot is LONG)
Also, it may seem like it is freezing in recovery a few time, look to the top righ and there will be a small loading bar. Some of the actions are pretty slow.
I cannot boot into recovery. It reboots over and over no matter if I try to boot normally or boot into recovery. The ONLY thing I can do is anything in hboot, i.e. flash things using a PC36IMG.
I tried flashing a new recovery, I tried flashing sprintlovers. I successfully ran a RUU even. It still bootloops during the white evo screen.
I think something is physically wrong with the phone at this point, but I am affraid since I cannot get S-ON back without flashing unrevoked in recovery that I will not be able to swap out the phone at sprint under warranty.

Phone should be in charge only mode, and you have to have htc sync installed on your pc to have the correct drivers.

im still getting a bootloop it did accept the update but the phone stays on the htc incredible white screen
now when i go to the fastboot menu up on top highlighted in purple it says

so i figured id try and root this phone
i got the bootloader unlocked no problem
i flashed the rcovery image as well but now when i'm in recovery and I try to mount the usb storage or sd card it says
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory)

Try this.
Boot into the bootloader and make sure it says FASTBOOT in the middle highlighted in red.
Open command prompt and type
“fastboot oem enableqxdm 0″ without the quotation marks of course. That should resolve the sd card not being mountable.
Then follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258 to get root and true s-off if desired. Just skip the parts you have already done.
yeah thats the tutorial i was following
by the way great write up really easy to understand
okay i will do that but in order to get s-off i need the phone to turn on?? Right??
So if i root and can get into cwm recovery and get the sd card to mount I should be able to flash a rom correct???
that is not working i'm in fastboot mode
but it says fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file

Do you have fastboot.exe installed on your pc, if so after opening the cmd prompt navigate to where fastboot.exe is and then trt the command.
I don't know whether this is still an option now that you've unlocked the bootloader but it is worth a try. This is a link to a guide I wrote for easily getting s-off and rooting your phone and if you would like, flashing a new ROM. Since you had this crash without having ever tampered with the phone, you might be in a tough situation but go ahead and start from the beginning of the guide and see where it gets you. Good luck!

so i had a similar situation on my dinc. it would bootloop at the red droid snapdarogon processor screen and that is as far as it would go then just keep rebooting to that point. i did the htcdev website and got the bootloader unlocked. i got clockwork recovery installed and have a rom running on it now. but every app i try to open just force closes. the only thing i can do is text and make phone calls on it. the phone still says s-on but says unlocked on top. when i try to use onrevoked to gain root it fails and says "is your firmware to new?". anyone have any ideas on this? thanks. didn't mean to crowd someone elses post.

Did you wipe everything before flashing the rom? If not that may be the cause of your problem.
To gain true s-off you must first fastboot flash a froyo misc img, then downgrade to froyo with an ruu, and then use unrevoked 3.22. Follow this guide here skipping the steps you have already done. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506258
Since you have clockwork you could flash superuser though clockwork to gain superuser and use unrevoked forever to gain s-off, if you so desire.
link to superuser: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
I'm guessing your ROM is gingerbread or ICS so you want to use Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
and unrevoked forever is here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Similar Situation
I have a Dinc that is also unrooted and has never been tampered with. I did the recent software update and the phone has not started since then. It only gets to the white screen that says HTC Incredible. I have tried the solutions proposed in this thread. I don't mind rooting if i need to but I am having absolutely no luck. Any ideas?
EDIT: So after hours of messing with this stupid phone, I left the battery out for about 5 minutes and while putting it back in i accidentally turned the phone back on.... and magically it started up just fine. I'm not sure what fixed it... Weird.
Can you help me fix the boot loop...?

I have a droid incredible and having the same rebooting issue as you all have. I tried to use the image given but that did not solve the problem as well.The phone boots up goes to the HTC incredible white boot screen logo and continues rebooting.
I cannot go pass the white screen boot logo.
Could you please be able to tell me how you managed to unlock the boot loader?

What is your phones current status?
S-on/off, hboot version, android version?
Download and place this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip on your sdcard, in no folders. Then boot to hboot and it should find the file and prompt to press vol up to update. That should get you back to stock and working.
You can unlock the bootloader on the htcdev site. http://htcdev.com/bootloader
still rebooting

Hi,
Thank you very much for responding to my question. I tried to do the steps above but it ended up with the same result still after updating and rebooting to the stock image you gave above.
I also now see something like ******Locked ****** in the boot loader screen.
phone current status
S-ON
hboot version -1.07.0000
android version - i cannot figure that out yet since i cant fully bootup the os. i think i had froyo
prior to the update i had hboot version as something like 0.92.0000
why can't i still boot to the stock image and it still keeps rebooting?
I really appreciate your help.

If not you can use the hack kit to flash a ruu/return to stock.

[Q] phone stuck at htc boot page! pls help!

firstly i want to say im using a macbook, so when going through my unlock/root procedure i was using terminal...
I unlocked and rooted my htc one x yesterday following the instructions on this youtube video ****http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y3VbFJIwWU****
It went well however afterwards i went to Rom-manager and tried to flash a stable cyanogenmod build.
The rom was faulty though. it didnt recognise my simcard. its wifi didnt work. and my phone stopped being recognised by my computer's device drivers.
in order to fix this i was told to flash the boot.img
Now my phone will only boot to the htc boot page and freeze here.
I can still put my phone into bootloader mode, and recovery mode so i think i can still save my phone but i just need simple instructions. Because my macbook htc drivers dont recognise the phone, i have no idea what to do and i need very simple instructions...I've been told a lot of times today to just download things and flash things, but when the phone WONT pair with my computer i am lost.
my htc one x is unlocked and the first line of bootloader says ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

Don't open new thread I answare on your question.
And now again:
1. Install Philz 5.15.x recovery fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery.img
2. Go in bootloader after this choice Recovery mount your SD Card have menu in recovery and you will see your sd card on the computer
3. copy your rom to SD card
4. Unmount the SD Card, WIPE data,system and dalvik cache and install your rom from recovery
5. Restart the phone again in bootloader
6. flash the boot.img with command fastboot-mac flash boot boot.img
7. run the command fastboot-mac erase cache
8. Only restart the phone
9. DON'T DO FACTORY RESET ON CUSTOM ROM
The fastboot-mac is from my zip where you downloaded!
Like @Mr Hofs say something really smart READING IS A GIFT
i have raised my problem on various threads on xda and am yet to find a solution. People have been very helpful but seem to overlook the fact my phone is not being recognised by the drivers on the computer. Yes, i can manipulate the phone through terminal which allows me to copy the recovery.img to the phone, but even when i go into recovery and mount the sd card nothing indicates it's a driver on my mac OS. so therefore can not place a working rom onto the phone. this has been my problem all along, if i could find a way to physically place a rom onto the phone I'm sure i could fix this. i dropped the phone into a shop sometime last week who sent it off to htc, but as i suspected they've sent it back seeing as the bootloader is unlocked and thus the warranty void. If anyone has any clue how to get a rom onto my phone using terminal commands could they post the process here. or any other ideas for getting the rom onto a phone that wont open htc sync manager or the program 'android file transfer' or seem to even allow me to mount the sd......

Yes, i can manipulate the phone through terminal which allows me to copy the recovery.img to the phone, but even when i go into recovery and mount the sd card nothing indicates it's a driver on my mac OS. so therefore can not place a working rom onto the phone. this has been my problem all along, if i could find a way to physically place a rom onto the phone I'm sure i could fix this. i dropped the phone into a shop sometime last week who sent it off to htc, but as i suspected they've sent it back seeing as the bootloader is unlocked and thus the warranty void. If anyone has any clue how to get a rom onto my phone using terminal commands could they post the process here. or any other ideas for getting the rom onto a phone that wont open htc sync manager or the program 'android file transfer' or seem to even allow me to mount the sd......

7 vibrations but I can get to hboot and green htc splach screen

Hi there
I have an HTC inspire 4G and I'm trying to install a rom on it just to get to work :/
And I've already fixed hboot problem thanks to chrisb906 and I tried several RUUs and it doesn't seem to work even if they are successfully installed!
If I boot it normally I get : 1 vibration > htc green splach screen > 2~3 secs later > 7 vibrations > black screen > nothing!
here is what I get in HBOOT

Do you have a custom recovery?
If you dont, you can find one here 4ext recovery
Download it and extract the .img file to ur adb/fastboot directory.
Rename the .img file to recovery.img
Boot your device into bootloader.
Connect your device to your PC and enter...
Code:
fastboot devices
(just to be sure.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once its done flashing, reboot your device into recovery.
Transfer a rom to ur sd card.
Flash it and flash inpiremod if not added to rom already.

Wait i think i am beginning to get you. Pls answer these questions
1. When you boot into bootloader and then select recovery, does it vibrate and gives you a black screen?
2. When you turn it off and connect it to a computer via usb, does the charging light come on and shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD on your computer?
3. When you try flashing ruu, via placing the ***IMG.zip on your sdcard and boot to bootloader, does it detect the ruu, asks you weather you want to flash. And after pressing volume up for yes, its looks as if its flashing but after rebooting stays the same?
4. Or when you try to flash the system.img via fastboot, does it gets stuck flashing?
1) yes, it vibrates and then 7 vibrations (after 2~3 secs) and then a black screen, and hitting the power button wont reboot the phone
2) yes, and even when it is on and on black screen it gives it to me
3) yes
3) no, never tried it

Lol..you are in serious trouble.
You might be wondering how i knew all that.
Cause it happened to my old Desire HD(Still didnt know weather it was a DHD or Inspire 4G.
It turned out it was emmc problem.
You should think of getting a new device or getting a new motherboard as that was what i did.
I followed an unbrick thread here.
It never worked for me. But you could try.
I remember i installed a wrong QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers which kind of corrupted the bootloader.
So watch out what drivers you use. There might be a possiblity, your might work.
