My HTC Wildfire's trackball has broke. WHICH IS HORRIBLE NEWS!!!! This means I cannot install custom ROM's which I loving doing (for some reason). I cannot use the Recovery because to select something, I need the trackball, which is stupid, and installing through ROM Manager doesn't work all the time. Is there any stable TOUCH recovery for Buzz out there? Please tell me, else, this Willy is useless. Any suggestions will be appreciated!
I am running:
Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 (6 because 7 is too buggy and 6 is smooth)
ROM Manager (Up to date, but installing ROMs doesn't work)
Clockworkmod 3.x (x because I can't remember exactly)
Thanks!

EDIT: I don't need a TOUCH recovery, I need at least a recovery that doesn't require a trackball. I don't care how old it is, as long as it install custom ROMs!

Okay, I am confused, there is the Aroma Installer and there is the CWM Recovery, they're different things, how do I use the Aroma thing. I AM CONFUSED! What is going on, can you help me?
EDIT: and the recovery download isn't even working!

Clockwork mod version 5.x x x+ has a thing built in where you can scroll up and down using menu and home, using power to select things instead of power being the back button. If you I stall it and then hit the buttons a few times it should enable stating "back button enabled"

No luck, installed the official ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 and you can move about with the volume rocker and HOME to go up and MENU to go down. BACK and SEARCH just makes it go back to the top of the menu and the POWER switch just hides the menu and show the background. That was a fail! Anything else? Or is the phone done for?
EDIT: it might be the one I install, do you have a link to the one that you had/have?

Hello,
And yes, my phone is fine still running on stock rom, but I have trouble when using rom manager and booting into the recovery to load another rom, I seem to get the android monster with a attention side beside him, this happens when I sellect any option. I just rooted my phone so I am quite dissapointed. My HBoot version is 0.93 . Also when starting the phone while pressing the volume down button I get to the menu but how am I to get to the clockwork recovery menu? Any ideas how to fix the issue?
Thanks in advance!

Boot into HBOOT, select 'Recovery', you're now in Clockwork Mod
Easy
Thaank you, but when I select any option in the clockwork recovery menu I get that android monster picture and a attention sign. The only way to go back would be to press the power button. Any ideas?

Last night I updated to latest CM7 nightly (I believe 146 or 147 but not sure), then attempted to flash Rover Lockscreen via File manager. It appeared to flash properly but am now stuck in a bootloop. I am running Hboot0.92 and CW3.0.0.8.
When I boot into Hboot and then Recovery anything I try to do it just show the CW icon and nothing else, pressing power takes me back to CW menu.
In searching the forums I have found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031752&highlight=bootloop. Should I follow the instructions from the post or is there anything else I could do.
Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance!!!
Did you try using the track pad to select things in Recovery, not the power button? Try that first.

Hello,

I have broken after too many fall down the volume buttons on the left side.
I have insert coin rom and after a small modification in recovery, my phone has not rebooted and it does not anymore.
The problem is now as I can't use volume buttons, I can't select / go in recovery...

But how can you boot into fastboot with the volume keys broken?
By pressing and holding back and then power button.
SwiftKeyed from CM7 using Transparent XDA App
You can boot into fastboot by long-pressing the power button and then clicking on reboot and then "Bootloader"

To boot into fastboot you have to press back and power button. And to navigate there you have to use volume buttons (which does not work here), except you connect your phone to usb and use fastboot commands to reboot etc.
or you could use an app called quick boot to get to recovery.
Rather than trying to get into recovery, consider getting the phone fixed. You can do things in recovery that could leave you with no option than to use volume buttons and then you're stuck. My advice, leave recovery alone

Today I installed advanced task killer/manag er from the market as my phone was acting up lately. I set security to low and task killer to run when the screen is off. I rebooted and now im stuck on the white htc screen. I tried pulling the battery several timesand rebooting but still no boot. I cant boot into recovery because my volume down switch stopped working in the past week. Is the re any way around this I only have 1 phone and really need it working. Thanks in advance.

Not sure, one day it worked and next day it didn't. Volume up works but volume down doesn't, the trackpad has also stopped working. The phone was ok before doing a reboot with the task killer.

Ok that's weird :S
Try press harder on the volume down or like hold the tumb on the minus symbol so it covers more then the minus symbol and push hard then hold the power button when it is off, it should boot in recovery.

I managed to boot into recovery but because the trackpad isnt working I cant select any options. This is damn frustrating. I should have installed a touch recovery. What are my options now?

Had a major stroke of luck this morning. While frantically trying all combinations of button pushes while in recovery a notification appeared that the back button had been activated with menu functions. The search button then acted as a select button like the trackpad. I was able to reflash my rom without losing any data or apps. :laugh: Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. That was a close one.

Yay, I were just going to say that, that you can use the trackball or whatever it is called, you know between back and menu button. You can navigate there too

I have my daughter's Incredible I'm trying to rehabilitate. I had it perfectly solidly flashed with Stock+, but now I'm finding that while I can get it into recovery (CWM 5.0.2.0) I am unable to do anything other than scroll within recovery. Pressing "power" just gets me a blank recovery screen. I can get into hboot (ver. 1.02.0000). I had done the htc dev unlock some time ago, and the radio is 2.15.10.07.07. When I tried Amon Ra instead (which is what I run on my Rezound) I couldn't even navigate within the recovery.
I can get into the device via adb or fastboot as well, I just can't do anything when in recovery.
I *can* navigate within hboot, so it isn't a question of the power button or volume buttons not working.
Any suggestions for how I can move forward? Should I RUU and start over?
Thanks in advance.
Pressing the trackball when inside recovery is used for selections. Hboot utilizes the power button for selections.
