Hi,
I'm sorry if this has already been answered I just can't find it.
My Wildfire's screen froze a couple of times, then the last time I removed the battery and reinserted it.
When I tried to power back up I got the vibrate but nothing on the screen, so I repeated a couple of times with no luck.
I then tried the Hboot method (Hold vol - and power) and I got the Hboot on, but when I tried to navigate using the volume buttons nothing happened, so removed battery and tried to repeat, I couldn't get back to Hboot. I have only been able to get the Hboot screen that one time.
When I power up, I get 1 vibrate and nothing on screen.
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on.
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume - then the power button but still only one vibrate.
I've tried installing the CyanogenMod but no luck.
Is there anything that can be done to save my Wildfire?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Seems like you're in Qualcomm Diagnostic mode. Though I don't remember the solution, some Googling might help

Any help please
I've tried the method stated on this forum but with no luck.
Does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks!
--- EDIT ---
So you wrote your question again in the "Wildfire S" (Marvel) Forums - in this case the much more important question would be: what phone are you talking about? A Wildfire (Buzz) or a "Wildfire S" (Marvel). Despite the name those have almost nothing in common - they are totally different devices
--- EDIT ---
I'll answer in this thread although you opened another one in Q&A.
You haven't been too specific with your problem but sometimes it helps to have all the details
So here we go:
a) did the phone work correct (besides the freezes) before you took out the battery?
b) is your WF rooted & s-off?
c) which ROM?
d)
When I hold volume + and power button, I get three vibrates and the green light comes on

does this happen when connected to PC or charger or not
e)
When I hold volume - and power I don't get any vibrates, unless I remove the volume

did you hold both at least 5-10 secs or so?

you mean after your problem occured? How did you do that?
Believe me: the more details you provide the more likely someone might have a solution or at least an idea what's going on
OK, sorry for the lack of info!
My phone is a Wildfire, not a WildfireS.
A: Yes, was working.
B: No, never needed to.
C: Not sure, never kept a record of it. It's one of the first models though if that helps.
D: This happens without USB cord attached. When the USB cord is attached I pull the battery and the green light stays on.
E: Yes, I've tried this for over 10secs before.
F: Yes, after blank screen. I installed on SD card and followed the directions. Bare in mind, I cant set Debug or the charge only setting.
Thanks!

ok, you should mention it in the Marvel forums, too, to avoid misunderstandings At least you're in the right forum here.

That's what I thought. In this case you won't be able to flash any other ROM - you could just do the usual upgrades by HTC
This doesn't sound to me to be a minor problem (but probably someone else might correct me here) - nevertheless - just to make sure: have you tried to do a hard factory reset following the HTC user guide?
- With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button (instead of holding it)
if this boots your phone up:
- Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
- Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
- Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset
(errm and yes: this will delete all your user data, of course...)

But I assume you have done that anyway - did you try to connect your phone to the PC (HTC drivers installed, of course)?
How about charging - does the phone seem to behave normal - i.e. if you keep it from charging for a few hrs does it show the red LED for charging mode and the green one for being fully charged?
That's pretty much all I could suggest from scratch. - Hopefully someone else with a good idea will step in here :fingers-crossed:
OK, still have the Wildfire with the annoying blank screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix?
Thanks!

besides the suggestion of the Qualcomm diagnostic mode (no I don't know anything about that): did you try to power up without the sdcard, yet?
Furthermore I slightly remember that you could do a factory reset using a key combination - but I'm not sure about it.
Same goes for a RUU. Are you able to connect to the phone with the PC?
Really just random guessing - hard if no error messages appear...
Yes, tried with the SD card.
Because I can't see the screen I tried it loads of times, all with different combinations.
I can't get any vibrate from volume down + long hold power.
I will only get a vibrate from volume down + short hold power.
What would be ideal if there's a way to use ODIN PC to flash a new ROM, well that's what I think it is, faulty ROM?
Thanks!

really hard to say as there's not a little information what's going on. What if just the screen is dead? have you tried to wait after boot and insert your pin after a while (I mean try to guess where the numbers might be) and call your number?
Why anyone want's to use ODIN on non-samsung?!
ODIN is purely just for SAMSUNG products
If you have warranty.. put it to service centre.. they will fix it
Need hard reset power off your phone press volume DOWN and power. YOU WILL FIX IT EASYLI.

Hey there!
I'm bumping this because I have the same problem and creating a new thread seemed more bad to me.
Anyway, I'll start from the beginning.
I found out my battery was swollen 5 days ago. It's probably because of my charging habits. My battery life have shortened everyday this 5 days. Yesterday morning I wiped my battery stats to get a better battery life. When I was back home my phone's battery has depleted while I was listening to music.
I came to home, plugged my phone to charge and waited 15 mins to get it charged a bit to open. When I tried to open it, it vibrated but the "green htc text on white background" screen didn't come up. The screen wasn't working. I tried what is said before in this tried. Once I got managed to see the bootloader but the volume keys weren't working (as above) After some moments of rage, my brother offered to test the touch, I opened the phone, (as I dont have a PIN) we waited for some minutes and then he called me. I mimiced the answering gestured and boom, I could talk with my brother.
I bought a new screen as I think screen is broken. But it could be because mainboards screen part is damaged (probably because of my faulty battery, voltage wavings etc.) or something completely different.
Please guys help me. I can't buy a new phone atm so I have to fix this

Ouch sounds like a rough one :/ OK so you have no visual, but do have touch and audio? Are you s-off or s-on? You could try to "blind feed" the rom.zip of a ruu to the bootloader to try restore it. But it may well be that your battery has killed the screen. Have you ordered a new battery?

I'm S-OFF. I had it written in my old sig.
I too think that it was the battery that killed the screen. Ordered both a screen and a battery but they won't be coming before 20 days at least. Damn you China, why you have to be that far.
Anyhoo, I can't get to the bootloader anymore. Or I think I can't get it. I once managed to get it but volume buttons weren't working. After that in every try I couln't see the bootloader screen. But you're right. When I can't see the bootloader, it doesn't mean I don't get the screen. I could do it with a fellow's help. But only after a few days. I'm getting a surgery in 10 hours. Can't really care about my phone right now

First I have to ask, do you get a vibration feedback when you are getting into bootloader by VolDown + Power buttons?

Hi guys,
My Note 2's power button suddenly death. I want to bring that phone to service but before it i want to back-up and wipe all my phone data.
Can i turn on my phone without powerbutton? Is there anyway to do this?
PS: Sorry for my poor English
No, I don't think so. You will need the power button, but maybe there is someway like an expert can do it? IDK.
Have a look at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2128581
It's possible that you need to try different things because this link doesn't deal with Samsung device The purpose is to go into the donwload mode and cancel with Vol down to reboot the phone normally.

It will be a good idea to enter download mode to reboot. BUT, the problem will be: How should you enter download mode without the power button.

@ermantepe If it still does not work, you really need to go the service center. BTW, how did your power button die?

I opened up my phone and I fixed my power button. The phone's broken part is that:

There was a very small piece on that part, but it was not the right place. I put it right place and my power button came back to life.
But i think it is a temporary solution, i should buy that part from somewhere.
And still we don't have answer that question: How can we turn on phone without press power button.

See my previous edit
This happened to me Today.After a lot of browsing, I was unable to find any working solution. (I have an USB Jig but it was not with me).
By mistake, I did the following and it seems to work: plugged the phone and while it started to display the battery (before it shows the %age of green battery thinghy) I quickly pulled the cable out.
This jump-started it and it turned on
good luck.
Hey guys, I was having trouble with my phone, I used the utility offered by HTC to restore phone back to factory settings, it ran, completed, then the phone shut off and now its seems to be done. I cant find anything to get it back on.
Any ideas?
Sent from my "BIG" awesome SGN2
What utility? You mean factory reset from bootloader?? or RUU??
Hold the power button till it bootsup... Can you access bootloader? Press Power button + Volume down key together till the bootloader shows up...
The ROM update utility from HTC site. Supposed to flash stock r9m back on phone, the status bar went to complete, said your phone is ready to use, powered off and wont come back on.

Well put it on a wall charger for 5-6 hours and then trying boot it up... if there's still no response, then I'm afraid you will have to send it to HTC..

Lets hope for the best! Keep us posted!
I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I had the Gnex power button issue, so I disassembled and successfully repaired it. Unfortunately during a flash my battery fell out and now it shuts down 3 secs after boot (nothing after Google logo). I can't get into recovery/download mode, so I tried an omap flash which ran successfully but still the same problem. I got 300k worth of resistors and have been trying to make a jig but so far I'm unsuccessful.
Does anyone have any extra advice?
Thanks!

Nope! I'm wondering maybe if perhaps the volume buttons have the same issue that the power button did?
I was using volume wake after my power button failure. Now I can only boot with a battery pull. I'm thinking my only choice now is to buy a broken gnex and replace the screen - but it would really be nice to get this device working somehow!
When I boot I get the Google/lock screen - but yeah, insata shutdown after that point. I'm thinking maybe the bad flash overwrote the OS?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, if I can avoid buying a new phone that'd be optimal - I've only had this one for two months.
Hi there,
before I send the mobile to my reseller i want to ask if any of you may have a solution.
Yesterday I tried a normal reboot to recovery. The phone went off and then did not go on again. Nothing happens when i press the power button with or without volume buttons.
Even if I connect the charger, the phone does not show anything. It is completely dead
thanks for help
No signs of life? Try holding the power button for 30 Secs...or pushing the power button multiple times if u managed to boot into fastboot or recovery...your should be sorted

Hi,
I had one mobile which did that after an update (it was a Zuk Z2 pro). Really no sign of life.
I let it a part for like one week and the battery went completely down. I tried to charge it after one week, and the phone turned on magically. I guess the update just broke the theorical level of battery so went it was completely empty everything was ok.
But it seem different for you. I guess I would try long press on the 3 buttons, or at least volume down and power, which can bring you to fastboot mode and you will be able to flash with miflash tool.
@eagle*23*: Any news? Did you revive him?
thanks for your answers, forgot to set notification on replays.
The idea with wating till batterie is down looks good idea but i already sent it back to reseller now because dont what to wait so long without the handy drug
The idea with push the Buttons in different combinations i tried several times but did not work.
It's still on guarantee so it may be your best option.
I have the same problem. can anybody help me? did anyone get solution to the case? My case is identical to yours.

Looks like there are not many solutions yet. You could open the Phone but the Flash with this method seems to be stoped by Xiaomi.
One good thing is that it looks like they dont care if your Phone was unlocked or not
