Hi,
I know I'm new but hear me out
I own an HTC Wildfire and I'm trying to root it so I can update to either Froyo or Gingerbread, but the problem is I'm unable to use the Unrevoked method because my volume buttons are broken and they are required to make selections on the boot loader screen. Could someone tell me if there is any way in which I can root my phone and load a custom ROM onto it without needing the volume buttons to work? I can't seem to be able to fix them so I have no other alternative
Many thanks in advance!
Jack.
I am really not aware of any alternative. The Volume and the Power Key is required on the HBOOT Menu, because, apart from these 2 keys, no other keystroke is recognized on that menu.
Try trackpad and power.

Hmm.. wildfire hasn't been out for too long maybe you're under warranty and can get it fixed.
I think when I rooted my wildfire all I need was the Android driver and do the volume and power then connected to the pc to get the usb recovery and unrevoked did the rest.
Edit: have tried the trackpad and power and it does work taking you to fastboot and bootloader is available from there. So you're saved. Credit to previous post ^.

My problem isn't that I can't get onto the bootloader menu, it automatically loads when I plug it in with unrevoked. My problem is that I can't select recovery when the bootloader menu actually loads because I'm unable to use the volume keys in order to scroll down to it. So unless I'm missing something that you've told me, that doesn't solve my problem :\
EDIT: Okay, my phone is rooted now, the problem now is that I cannot select recovery in order to flash a custom ROM because I cannot scroll down to it. Any advice?
Get ROM Manager and use it's "Restart in Recovery" Feature?
You dont need the volume buttons in the recovery.you can use the track pad in the recovery. But the volume keys are needed in the hboot menu to select recovery l. I think there is no alternative. If your phone is still under warranty I recommend you flash a ruu. And give it for repair. Dont forget to tell them not to update your phone to froyo. I think you know the reason

I got ROM manager and I'm now running Cyanogen 6.1.0, I'm just having problems with the market app now. I've installed Gapps and whenever I open the market it just closes straight away. I'll try and fix it myself but if anyone can offer help than that'd be cool!
Check Sympnotic's Patched Market Thread, Try Removing the Market using the Market Remover and install again.

[Q] I can't pass through "ClockMod Recovery". I am stuck, PLEASE HELP, I NEED YOU
HELLO ALL,
I USED THIS LINK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996
TO ROOT MY MY TOUCH 4G PHONE AND IT WORKED FINE UNTIL I ATTEMPT TO INSTALL OVERCLOCKING SOFTWARE FROM>>>
http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/14/ho...ted-s-off-t-mobile-mytouch-4g-or-t-mobile-g2/
AND AFTER DOING WHAT THEU SAID MY PHONE JUST ACTED CRAZY/
EVERYTIME I TRIED TO TURN THE PHONE ON IT VIBRATES CONTINUESLY AND NEVER GETS TO THE OS. SO I LEFT IT ON FOR NIGHT LIKE THAT AND I WOKE UP IN THE MORNING OBVIOUSLY BETTERY WAS COMPLETLY DRAINED ( AFTER ALL THE VIBRATING BACK AND FORTH)
ANYWAYS, NOW IT JUST TURNS ON AND STAYS AT " MY TOUCH 4G SCREEN WHERE ITS WHITE AND THAT WRITING" IT JUST FREEZES.
IF I TRY TO HOLD VOL DOWN AND CLICK POWER BUTTON, I GET TO THE PAGE WHERE ITS WHITE AND FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET,SIMLUCK,IMAGE CRC MENU.
I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING IN THAT MENU INLUDING FACTORY RESET, NOTTING WORKS.
WHEN I ALSO TRY RECOVERY FROM THERE I CAN GET TO "ClockMod Recovery" BUT I CANT EVEN ACCES INSTALL ZIP FROM SDCARD, WHEN I TRY THAT ALL I SEE IS A BLACK SCREEN AND A HAT AND A BIG EYE UNDER IT.
THIS IS SO FRUSTRATING,
Step one, slow down
step two, turn off the caps.
Step three it's obvious that you have s=off if you have clockwork ROM on your phone.
At the top of your phone What recovery image do you have? 3.0.0.5? or a 2.x one?
thank you for responding, I have v3.0.0.5 version
i have v3.0.0.5 version

as long as you do not have any errors on your recovery image about not being able to mount anything....to get your phone working you can do one of two things.
1)You can flash any Gingerbread based ROM either from Cyanogen(mod) or from TeamRoyal. Those all can be found in our Development section from your recovery image.
2) you can flash the PD15IMG and restore you phone back to 100% via the HBoot (engineering) screen, that can be found in our development section as well.
no luck
I get notting but a black screen with hat and eye under, everytime i try to choose anything from clockworkmod menu.I have adb installed on my pc and it regonizes my device , is there a way to reset the phone from there? maybe?

when you select something you need to select it with the track pad. If you use the power button you'll get the text will disappear.
the only way you can use ADB to flash stuff is if you have the engineering bootloader. If you just followed TheUnlockr's method then you do not have it.
i use volume buttons and power button to select it
oh ok now i used the mouse button select and i can select but now the phone is keep resrarting every like 10 seconds with a vibrate, nottting happens just restarting over and over. Where should I go next?
( remember fartest i can go is the "colockworkmod")

As he mentioned above, you need to use the trackpad buttons to make selections, NOT the power button.
If you can successfully reboot into recovery, just wipe the phone completely and flash a new ROM...

If you navigate to "advanced" and select it will it give you a new set of options?
if it does try the "mount USB" and plug it into a computer and see if you can surf the SD card via a computer.

3.0.0.5 is only compatible with 2.3 ROMS.
use this to flash it
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.p...pdate_Guide#First_Method_.28via_RomManager.29
and you'll want to use the "from recovery" method.

Isn't there are flashable 3.0.0.6?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I have 3.0 05
But As I was instructed I have downloaded PD151MG file and put it on my sd card and reboot my phone to the engineering menu and right away it asked me if I want to update to PD151Mg file and I clicked yes I guess this new rom will work for me
As of now it is updating.... I will let you guys know later for the result ( I hope I am not doing something even worst )

There is a flashable 3.0.0.6 image that True_blue Scripted but you have to get into the ROM to do it.

Once you are done with the PD15IMG you will have to reroot your phone. IT will return it to a 100% stock fashion.
after you re-root the phone please flash the 3.0.0.6 to help save any confusion down the road.

The original 3.0.0.6 was made by option94, and you can flash it from your existing recovery or fastboot, so booting into a ROM is not necessary.
Hello!
I have a problem that does not look good ... I mean:
This to happen without touching the phone, was on the table and suddenly I've gone to look for my girlfriend warned that received no Whatsapps. I've looked and was half hanged, and as I could not restart, I had to remove the battery.
Well the problem is switched on, after the white screen "HTC" screen stays black again (off) and do nothing and turn it back on again is necessary to remove the battery.
I thought ... well, I will restore from the recovery, for nothing, by accessing the white menu (power button + vol-), choose the recovery and I do the same ... try to enter the recovery but does not enter. ..
Relief! What I can do??
regards
More details pls. What recovery do you use? What does it say when you try to enter recovery?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
My recovery is the CWM but I don't remember what version it is...I think it's the last one (5.0.2).
The problem is that the phone can't start correctly, it remains at the "htc" in green homescreen and that's all.
If I try to enter at the recovery, it does the same think and If I try to reset factory defaults does the same also.
I've tried to install the PC10IMG.zip rom (that I've used to root the phone) and it install it correctly but when it finish continue doing the same as before...
Thanks for your coop!
Best regards
So you can enter bootloader? (Power & volume - ) but from here you cant go to recovery? Do you have eng. Hboot?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Hello!
Yes...I can enter at the bootloader and I can also try to enter at recovery mode, but it cant finally enter...
I don't have Hboot (I think,because I don't know what it is) I rooted the phone long time ago and only install the CWM and it has the cyanogen mod rom...
Thanks
With eng hboot (0.84.2000 - i think) you could try to push a different recovery on your phone, if the recovery is the problem... Another thing you could do is press power + volume up and see if you can enter recovery this way...
There is also a irc channel where devs will help you... But i dont know the name right now
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Your problem is clockwork mod recovery.... unfortunately the latest releases cause it to not be able to boot into it. Download and push 4ext recovery and it should be the end of your woes
Edit: The irc channel you're looking for is #g2root on freenode. They'll help, but if you push the recovery and flash a new rom you should be fine.

Here's what could maybe help you
take ur battery out put it back in press the red soft reset button to switch it on
hold down the volume key while it switches on it'll get you to the tricolour boot loader
flash the wm6.5 RUU
after that all done ! u could maybe use roms from your sd card
but i believe that you are wanting to flash a NAND rom right ?
dude i know how to flash a rom...
i had once opened my phone and accidently broke the cable that connect the front hardware keys...so they are not working...
so was wondering if clk could flash a rom without using any of the keys using fastboot

Fastboot is initiated in default if cwm is not installed.
But the question is, how to go into cwm if the "Home" button is not working ?
Exactly...fastboot is default...i will be able to intall cwm without any hardware keys...but wont be able to do anything from there....if once im able to install a rom then i can install rom manager and change roms...and probaly even install cwm from there....but to flash the first rom is the question....
will i be able to flash a rom using fastboot without cwm??? using a adb or someting..??
Atleast if someone could tell me if we can flash a rom using the clk fastboot directly without using the clockwork recovery
Idk about whether the HD2 will work with this or not, but a quick google search showed this up:
http://www.firstdroid.com/tutorials...pphire-guias/how-to-load-a-rom-with-fastboot/
As an HD2 owner, you are to start from step7 immediately.
Again, I doubt this will work.
... But I think original problem was how to get fastboot mode without HW keys? After that flashing a rom is possible.

Check if your volume keys are working in clockworkmod, and if they are, flash a ROM of your choice.

If your volume keys do not work, download the image of a touchscreen-based recovery and flash it using flash_image in ADB or Terminal. (flash_image recovery <file-name>
You can reboot to recovery if your ROM supports that as an option in the reboot menu, or through adb command (reboot recovery)
can u suggest a touch screen recovery program ?

Never mind, I deleted whatever I posted.
STOP creating multiple threads asking for help for the same problem
STOP expecting others to help you the instant you ask a question
Did you do anything to the phone that might of caused it to stop working? On mine i opened it and saw that the button on the ribbon that's pressed by the key was moved and it wasn't pressing it (Had to put a tiny piece of foil and tape). When you press it do you feel it kind of click or it doesn't feel like its pressing the button?
the buttons seems to be pressing down ok im just looking everywhere to try a find a solution
Ive used this hundreds of times and never had a problem, but now, I recently rooted and when I boot into recovery, the whole menu shows up but when i lick an option, its send me into a black screen rather then showing sub menus, I can get back to the regular menu by hitting the power button but none of the menus will take me into subs, meaning, I cant get into my install zip folder or anything like that. Anyone had this problem? Thanks for the help and time!
Edit: yes I have bootstrapped and all that and I am on .621. The only difference this time is the program I used to root, which is framaroot 1.6.0 apk that I loaded to my phone.
you are selecting with the camera button?
Sent from my XT862 using Tapatalk 2
Like shadow said, try using the camera button. The power button toggles the screen to/from a blacked out state.
You can just push the power button again to un-black the screen.
I had the same problem myself.. when in doubt, experiment. CWM is pretty good about not letting you accidentally wipe your data.
