Hello I Brought my GF a HTC wildfire about 4 months ago from ebay, it was brand new un-touched, still wrapped etc. The phone has been all fine til now.
The phone turns on and is usable for a while then screen goes blank and nothing happens until you turn it off and some times the phone turns on but nothing comes on screen too, tried a factory reset but no joy, it has the stock 2.1.1 rom on it and has never need rooted etc.

Mite b bug in software. U could try rooting and then flashing the stock ruu, if it is a software bug that should sort it. Otherwise I have no idea

It will void warranty.
Just send in the device so you get sure it gets fixed properly.
Miss the device for a week or so.

I bought a bricked Nexus S form the marketplace. I tried to get it in to download mode and it is not working at all. The phone is charging so i know it has life in it. It is not recognized by fastboot or odin. I have a jig and I tried it and failure striked again. I really need experts because the phone is to nice for it not to work and i know it is no such thing as a fully software bricked samsung android phone.
That is amazing. I thought for sure that you could get it working with no problems.

power it off. power it on holding the volume up button and power button at the same time. if it goes into the bootloader mode, then its not bricked.
Take out the battery and hold the power button for 20 secs
Uncle Jimmy says hello
If you can go to bootloader mode, you can flash clockwork recovery and install a rom.

Okay here is my whole story. I decided to root my MyTouch 4g yesterday. So I went ahead and went through with it. I was required to downgrade to Froyo since I was running Gingerbread. So I did all of that through adb. When all was done. I flashed the Virtuous Unity rom. When I started it up everything was fine. I was enjoying it for about 2 hours while I was playing with it and texting and chatting with my friends. Then when I was about to go to sleep it froze. So I did a battery pull and started it back up. That is when I noticed that it was staying on the Mytouch 4g screen. Then it went to Clockworkmod Recovery. I tried to restore but it keeps saying that it can't mount the system. I also tried to use bootloader and downloaded the PD15IMG.zip file and placed it on there. It would say 'No image or wrong image' Then it would go and say Fail-Pu for all of the images. I have tried absolutely EVERYTHING. Any advice please! I am desperate, my mom is going to kill me!

i think you bricked your device.. i will look more details and report later..
:'(((((((((( Omg this can't be. Is there anyway to restore the file that I backed up because it won't let me do it through Clockworkmod Recovery!
Wipe everything
Go to mount/format
turn on USB storage thing (connect to computer)
Download a different Rom to the computer an transfer it to The phone
Flash it and hopefully it works
I can't even get onto my phone. It is just the MyTouch 4G screen and then it goes to Cwm Recovery and that's it. =/
That's what I'm talking about from recovery you can connect you phone to the computer

does clockworkmod recovery give you errors about not being able to mount cache?
cause that sounds a LOT like my old phone, which ended up dead because of a fail eMMC chip.
which method of rooting did you use?
If I report my phone as stolen to T-Mobile would they give me a free replacement? I do have the (PHP) Premium Handset Protection Bundle!

That's quite a lot! O_O Should I just wait until christmas? I really don't want that to be my christmas gift though!!! I really hope there's a way I can unbrick this! >.<
No, there isn't. It's a HW defect, when eMMC fails - the phone is done.
I guess I will hopd out until christmas and get another phone even though I JUST got this one!
If you have insurance you can get a free warranty replacement. Just say you woke up and it wouldn't turn on.

I don't think it's completely free.. your just not paying for the value of the phone because you have insurance you pay $130 instead of $500.. I stand corrected..

No that's for Premium hardware replacement from water damage etc. If you call and just say it wont turn on anymore they might charge you shipping but that's it...I'm on my 3rd mt4g and it has bad chip AND screen (and this is the last before I have to get a different phone) I've never once had to pay for more than shipping except when I cracked the screen

Was any of your device sent in rooted and left that way or you unroot and sent in like that?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using xda premium
Well my mom is planning to take my phone to a local T-Mobile store tomorrow! I really don't think that it is a good idea since my phone is rooted and once it gets past the splash screen it will start up cwm recovery! So should I just brick the phone to the point where it doesn't turn on and just say it just turned off and wouldn't turn back on? Would that be the best way?

From what I hear, they don't care if a device is rooted, just make sure that the stock ROM is on there.
So I call them, they send me a replacement phone, I get it, send my broken phone back to them, they test to see if it is broken, it stays on the splash screen for 5 minutes until booting into Clockworkmod Recovery, then what will they do once they see that? Will they take it as broken? PLEASE ANSWER! =/

So I bricked my one to the point that it cannot mount, adb, side load and is stuck at the boot screen. Talked to Bell, and they said that they would give me a new one when they have more in stock by Friday. After using the one for a week, its getting really hard for me to use another device. Missing the feel, of it in the hands, the sexy build, amazing speaker sound, the gorgeous display, Zoe and blink feed. It feels weird using my nexus 4 now.

i sold my n4 to get the one and u r right..the n4 got nothing on this..the only thing i will miss is getting early updates
Not trying to be a ****, but you getting a new phone because you bricked yours is stealing. The warranty does not cover you flashing unsupported software, so by getting a replacement for a non-defective device, you're stealing from HTC.
Just so you know.

Not stealing from HTC, but from Bell. And bell can suck a big one.
Well, they don't know the state of the phone yet, so they can say no on Friday. I haven't stolen it yet.

Second that, hardly believable that you couldn't boot into hboot and enable fastboot and do some work from there AKA if your device is rooted, find the command for installing a recovery and boom.

Does it boot cycle? I did that to mine when i got it and it kept on rebooting i fixed it though. Let me know.

I really hate people that do that. If you break your device man up and try to fix it, which I'm sure it could have been fixed with a little effort. People like you is why insurance is so high and with crazy deductibles.

Fastboot flash the boot.img of whatever rom you're flashing. Odds are, you didn't brick it. Wipe everything first. Flash the rom. Flash the boot.img via Fastboot.

Can't you just use the RUU and go back to stock?
Completely lazy noob! That's all there is to this story....
It's not bricked it could be fixed in 5 minutes guaranteed.
No ...lets just tell HTC a fib and get a second one to softbrick next week :what:

For the record this Device tends to have a lengthy boot up time on HTC screen ....especially on backups and fresh Rom installs ...a lot of people have been getting this mistaken for bricking ... When it's not it's just time ...I'd almost laugh if he isnt letting it sit long enuff to boot up.

K. I have managed to sideload 3 different roms, fast boot, a db push etc. Still doesn't get past the HTC screen. Mounted my USB through otg and did a nandroid restore of Bell's nandroid backup posted by some one. Bell has not released the ruu yet, other carrier's ruu doesn't work. o yeah, flashed stock ROM too. Left the phone on the HTC boot screen for hours, and it doesn't go past boot screen.
Any other suggestions?
BTW, I own 3 other nexus devices that are all rooted, and have been soft bricked numerous times and were easily brought back to stock. My first HTC device with no carrier ruu.

Right...well, mine is gone since 04/13...and I still didn't receive my new phone.
The phone company will decide whether they want to replace it and I've never had any problems with warranty replacements due to custom software. The phone isn't broke and HTC will simply use the parts or re flash it.
All the hysteria over rooting and custom roms breaking warranty is complete nonsesnse
If you burn out your processor over clicking it that's different of course but he hasn't.
Sheesh give the guy a break.
A phone that soft bricks or boot loops as easily as the one should never of been rootable in the first place.
