Hey All,
I think I have bricked my Lil Bro's Wildfire it only boots to HBOOT. I can get into psfmod recovery but when I flash any new ROMS it boots straight back to HBOOT/Fastboot menu.
Any Ideas?
Thanks in advance
Edit 1: Just in case anyone is having this problem you can find the RUU files here http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz
They haven't worked for me but that doesn't mean they wont for you.
Edit 2: I managed to fix this fault by using the update.zip included in a pack named r1-buzz-root.zip (Google it and you should find it pretty easy). Just flash it using any Recovery tool i.e Clockwork Mod or psfmod.
Thanks to all who tried to help me.
Did you tryed to flash a RUU Rom already?
Download one @ shipped roms.
Just tried one and got an error. Customer ID fail.
what did you do with your phone before it "bricked"??
Had you flashed anything?! .. or tried to root?..or anything else?!
Did the phone work well with the original stock rom?
The phone worked fine. I used Unrevoked to flash psfmod to the phone and the first rom seemed to take. I noticed the touch screen was unresponsive so tried to restore a nandriod backup. Then the phone just started looping back to HBOOT.

i have searched for psfmod, and found ... it's a play station 3 hack utility?!
..and it seems .. it doesn't supports Wildfire :/
http://www.ps3-hacks.com/2010/10/14...eedom-recovery-mod-for-select-android-phones/
..am i right!?
is it possible to wipe factory sets, and cache ... or anything in recovery?
The psfmod recovery installed was for Wildfire. It's on thier download page. I don't understand why I can flash ROMS but once it's finished it just boots HBOOT/Fastboot.
I don't knwo where to post this exactly so here it goes.
I installed revolution 2.09 on my rooted HTC HD without any problems.
Run perfectly. Then today I installed a ROM of a theme from this forum as well called media 1.3 with rom manager.
After the reboot my phone only shows a the text android with a slight moving glow over it. It does not repsond to anything any more. I removed the battery but the same thing is happening.
Did I brick it? What can I do?

thats just the default android boot screen, looks like the theme messed up your framework... hold on i'll make a .zip you can flash from recovery to fix it
Thanks, but how do I get the zip on the phone? It does not react to anything anymore. I attahced it to my PC but nothing....

im just downloading the rom for you now so i can extract the framework, if you pull your battery out, you can either plug in your charger while its off, this will bring up recovery, or while its off, hold vol down and press power, that will take you to bootloader, and just pick recovery from the list, now when in recovery, if you navigate to the mounts and storage menu, choose the option mount usb storage, you can now connect to a pc as a disk drive and copy stuff to your sd card
im having trouble uploading attachments to xda at the min dya want me to upload it to megaupload for you?
AndroHero,
Thank you for helping me out. I didn't know about the vol down press power option which allows you to acces the sd card and intall a new rom. I had the revolution rom 2.0.9 already. It's installing as we speak. Much thanks for the tips!
To early hooray. I choose the option with the revolution zip for a complete install. After the install I selected rebouut system now. Now it stays on the white HTC screen with the text HTC quitely brilliant. Flashing every 3 seconds or so....
What to do now?
Everything is resolved. revolution is up and running again. I had to un the fullwipe.zip and that did it!
THANKS a lot for all the tips....again

Did you do a full wipe before re-flashing your ROM? even if you did just repeat the process , full wipe /cache, /dalvik-cache, /system and then re-flash the rom fingers crossed it should work
Hi,
I am having a similar problem. I tried flashing the cyanogen mod and after installing it the phone doesnt boot up. Its stuck on the t-mobile boot up logo. Ive tried restoring my back up but I get the same problem.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

Could it be possible that you installed cwm 3005 and tried a restore with that. I had the same problem. Went back to cwm 2.5.x and then restore worked.
Sent from my Desire HD
I think there will be a lot of scare because of this CWM 3x...
Same happened to me the other day, stupidly accecpted the update prompt from Rom Manager, did my backup and went to install Cyanogen 6... Got stuck at HTC logo next boot.
Thankfuly, had Leedroid 2.0 on the SD, too, and that one flashed properly
Thing is that when I try to downgrade the Recovery to 2.5x I get an error and really can't be bothered with ADB pushing stuff around, so using Cyanogen 7 for the time beeing
Anyhow, CWM 3.x is likely your problem, easy to fix ^^
Wanting to change my theme on the Samsung spica I had theexact problem on cyanogen mod. Had to redo the whole rooting and installing the Rom again to get to work.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
yes, is some script...back to recovery 2.x
Search function is down but I did go through a few pages of threads looking for what was going on and no luck but I apologize if this has been solved somewhere else.
First off I would rate my rooting know-how as beginner to intermediate. I've jailbroken/unlocked multiple iPhones awhile back and have rooted/flashed roms on a cliq, mts, my3g, and this mt4g before.
I recently returned my current mt4g back to stock rom and unrooted. I do not think I turned s back on but I should have double checked before.
I currently have root and flashed clockwork and am trying to flash CM7 (I had ran it before on this phone as well). I have an issue right now where I cannot get into clockwork recovery as it will just sit at the mytouch logo forever and if I try and volume up and power into recovery all I get is 3 vibrations and a flashing amber light.
I can boot into the stock (but rooted) rom.
Any ideas? I feel like my recovery is broken or something but this goes beyond what I know. Any help would be great and any information you need I'll be happy to provide.
myTouch 4G, rooted, s (probably) off, stock rom, clockwork says i'm on 3.0.2.4
After reading that, I'm not fully convinced you actually have root and S-OFF. If you're sure you do, download ROM Manager from the Market and use that to install a fresh copy of CWM recovery. Also make sure the "fast boot" option is turned off somewhere under Settings. At that point, there should be nothing preventing you from getting into recovery if you have perm root.
I've got ROM Manager and it has SU permissions and I have the latest recovery flashed but I am still stuck on mytouch logo or the 3 vibrations/amber light when I try to get to recovery. If I reboot there is still no problem getting SU in terminal emulator or ROM manager or anything.
Fast boot is off as well. Thanks for the help so far.
Any ideas?
I don't often boot into recovery manually since most custom ROMs have an enhanced reboot menu with a recovery option, but if memory serves, I believe the key press combination is actually Power + Volume Down, not up like you mentioned in your OP. Give that a try.
Man I am really crazy. Here I am a tmo rep and also a novice modder and I'm hitting power + volume up.
Worked like a charm.. Now just to figure out why clockwork is sitting at the mytouch screen when trying to install CM7.
Thanks for the fresh set of eyes!

After flashing CM7, the phone hangs at the myTouch screen when attempting the first boot?
From ROM Manager if I try to flash CM7 from there it goes to the mytouch screen and hangs before anything else happens.

What if you select the "boot into recovery" option in ROM Manager? Does the phone reboot into CWM recovery? (you should see the main CWM menu in orange text)
Boot into recovery takes me to MT4G logo and hangs.

So you don't have a good installation of CWM. Open ROM Manager again and re-flash a fresh recovery. I think there's an option to wipe your existing recovery beforehand, so if you see that, select it. You need to get a working recovery image before you can do much else.
Deleted current recovery and I confirm my model again and it takes a total of 5 seconds. Trying to reboot into recovery again after and I still hang at MT4G.
I hate it when you know something you need to do but you've been working on it so long you can't come up with new ideas.
Thanks again for the help.
Sorry multipost since it didn't register on my computer the first time for some reason
Yeah sorry man, I've never heard of a situation where CWM stubbornly refuses to install. If you have the engineering bootloader, you could manually flash it that way, but that's my only other idea.
Alright well thanks for all the help man, I'll dig around and pick up tomorrow.
I ended up looking for the recovery myself on the SD card and deleted it and then it flashed no problem. Thanks again for the help

Reason is u have done a hard reset after S-OFF. Now don't run an RUU (= exe file)
I think u have installed custom recovery. If not, do it first. Follow this guide to install it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
After installing custom recovery, just install a custom rom (flash it through custom recovery). U can choose any custom rom. If u want the same stock 2.2.1 then get the safe zip file from this link under section 5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
That link also has many custom roms from which u can select one.
And remember one thing, for gingerbread rom u need a 3.x (or +) custom recovery and for below roms u need a 2.x custom recovery.
Generally when u install custom recovery from the above guide, u will get 3.x recovery.
So, better flash a CM7 rom first (I recommend this at moment for making easier) direct link : http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=buzz (download latest one).
Then make the things clear and then choose any rom u want. GOOD LUCK...!
I also suffered this problem but in a different manner. After installing clock work mod recovery and rooting ....I decided to factory reset my phone(God knows what made me do this). And When It rebooted then 2 things dont work the htc scenes and the setup app. It is not leading to any other problem ( I can live with it) but still I would like to remove this problem.

The above thing works with u too.
If u want to use stock froyo, then download the safe zip froyo and install it from clockworkmod 2.x
And if u want cm7 then download it and install.

And the easiest method is, if u guys made a nandroid backup before hard reset, then u can use nandroid restore to restore it.

U must have known it if u have made nandroid backup. The backup and restore are to be done from custom recovery menu.
It u haven't made backup earlier, just download a rom and flash it as said above.

****.....Sorry. Wrong link actually. It was duplicated. Just a sec. Fixing
This is the link to safe zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
see under section 5.
[And when using 2.2.1 and cwm 3.x then just root it first with above link or any generic method. Then install rom manager and flash 2.x recovery from rom manager. Then reboot to recovery from the rom manager itself. Then u will have that 2.x recovery for that time through which u can flash 2.2 or lower roms.]
edit: Not sure if it solves the issue (may not be). But i think u always had the option to manually add the sense widgets. Or atleast i had.
no it still the same iv think iv tried everything but still don't work
I have same problem too. Plus, there's only english input method available. There are a number of other things missing. I even tried to flash an official wwe ruu, but it doesn't help.
Sent from my wildfire using XDA App
First off all, you cannot undo the s-off by flasing a ruu or something.
Second, I am still on the stock froyo rom and Sense works like normal. I can add widgets just like normal. I can change themes, again, just like normal really weird that you guys have so much trouble because normally s-off nor the bootloader should affect your rom..
As in the case of the setup wizard: i've tried to fiend it, but i saw it nowhere. So i have no idea where to start it to see if it still works.
As if for the people having an english wwe rom: try installing an old ruu (android eclair) and check for an ota update. I believe that installing that update will give you your custom language back, altough I'm not sure (never tried it).
Erwin
I will tell my experiences too.
Just after the s-off, I installed cwm recovery 3.x and made a nandroid backup. Then made a hard reset and switched on the phone. Yes it wont ask the initial setup and only displays the english language. I agree here. Then when phone booted fully, I noticed the sense widgets are not displayed by default. But I can add every htc widget manually all the time. And setup will be present in app drawer menu. But opening it will not open the setup and does nothing. Even I can integrate the accounts from settings menu. Another thing I noticed is my mobile internet access points are missing. Of course I can configure them manually.
Then I flashed the wildpuzzle rom v8.0.11. It worked without a hitch. It prompts for the initial setup and displays the sense widgets. Then I made little thing. That is without wiping the data, I flashed the safe zip (here indian froyo one). Now it works. No bootloop. It even retained the wildpuzzle apps.
So for me it never took away the access to sense Widgets (I can always access them by even manually adding them). But with others I don't know why it is eating away the sense widgets.
i can add them manually all widgets work but what i was saying i have a backup restoring it it all works apart from the htc settings but if i hard reset the the widgets are not there by default also htc wizard htc wallpapers no longer work i tried down grading to 2.1 the same thing happens i tried the safe.zip rom the same thing again
what i was asking is why s-off stops part of the sense working e.g:- htc wizard htc wallpapers and the widgets are there by default?
it's alpharev hboot problem. you need revert back to stock hboot and make a factory reset
I have found a way to fix it so both HTC wallpapers and HTC settings wizard and all widgets are on by default even after hard reset
how could you fix?
Ill upload a fix later for you all but i tell you no that you will have to hard reset and flash the fix over the top of your 2.2.1
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
And i also forgot to say this fix will work on all 2.2.1 roms even custom 2.2.1 roms for people like me that cant live without sense

This morning I used Rom manager to update to the RC1 release on my mytouch
4g. All went well until it tried to reboot. Now it is stuck at MyTouch 4G startup screen and will not boot. If you depress the volume up key while turning it on all you get is 3 vibrations and the led starts flashing. Is there any recovery other than shopping for a new phone?

Mine did the same. I had to flash it manually through recovery, rather than having rom manager do the busy work.

Honestly Clockwork ROM Manager is a GUI interface for the recovery image. You should really get familiar with recovery image, and start using it. You'll have less bugs that way.
I tried a few times to install with rom manager (premium 4.3.x) and always got problems like progress bar stuck during installation and boot loop.
Manually from cwm recovery- no problem whatsoever. So IMO it is actually faster to backup, wipe whatever is needed and flash from recovery.
Rom manager also prone to failures during rom download whereas directly from web browser it's always OK.
But you can use RM to see what updates are available and it allows during backup to write your own name which is really good if you keep several backups... Sure, one can always manually change the backup name after boot- if you don't forget
That said, I think rom manager comes from the same dev/s of can and other stuff, so the least thing to do is support them by buying their premium version.
