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.
Can any one help me? Thanks in advance.

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.

true. was working on the idea that it prob wouldnt have warranty being as it was from ebay..
Phoned HTC and they are coming to pick it up to repair it, I explained it was new from eBay but they said the warranty is still in with them, thanks guys
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.

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.

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?

It's not bricked it could be fixed in 5 minutes guaranteed.

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.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
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.
Bricked my Nexus 4 flashing a wrong ROM. Since i'm in EU and the phone USA probably will not get warrantly either
Now it won't even go to recovery, is there anything i can try?

No download mode, the only thing i could get out of it was a red led
You could try to charge it whole night, and then access the recovery /download mode, or maybe open it and unplug battery terminal and plug it back after few minutes....
If that won't help, I think RMA is the only solution (they should not be able to check it if it wont give anything but black screen)
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I don't think RMA covers user mistakes Its hard bricked if you flashed the wrong ROM. You have to send it away for J-Tag. Likely your only solution.
Gonna ask to the local LG store for repairing costs, then i'll value the best option

Once flashed a sammy N7100 rom on a I9300, the phone was dead as a duck and rooted on top of that. Got it repaired under warranty :angel:
Try turning it in and see what happens, i doubt they will be able to tell the phone has the wrong software and the bootloader is unlocked.Good luck
Thought repairs should be done worldwide but swaps only in the country where you bought it.

The problem is the warrantly is in USA, and the phone is here in Italy.
Did you lost all the personal datas?
I had the same issue. Windows Explorer on my Win 7 computer was not downloading the image properly from Google, and when I tried to install the factory image I got the red led and it was stuck on the "X" screen. After trying several times to get it into download mode, I discovered that I could eventually catch it if I hit the volume down and power buttons at a certain exact time during bootup, at which time I reloaded a non-corrupted factory image and I was up and running.

I had this problem on my tf300t. I am running kitkat omnirom and cm11. I can run either.
The sleep of death was 100% caused by a faulty sd card. Not sure if it was file(s) or the card. Fixed the problem in both Omni and CM.
Backup your card to your computer.
Erase/Format it using the system you are on.
Verify that the SOD problem is gone.
That has happened several times to me too. Completely stock. Formatted about 3 weeks ago. Has not done it until just now. went to check it and it won't come on. Have to wait til I get home and put it on the charger. I just charged it last night. Maybe I didn't connect it right. Well update when I know for sure.

Ouch. $92 that's abit expensive. Perhaps you should had consider to topup abit more to get a new Memo FHD 16GB. It is about $250 at amazon.
I just got an email from Asus. I wil not pay $200 to repair an out of warranty tablet, when I can buy the exact same model from Frys for the same amount. They said the motherboard needs to be replaced. It took them one full week and 3 phone calls to get this quote in the first place. They told me that it was diagnosed on Feb 14.
I seriously doubt I will buy anything from Asus again. I was told that it would cost $92 to fix it. I will not spend that kind of money on an item that could break the minute I get it back as they do not even warranty their own repairs. This tablet was nice while I had it, but it was not the greatest either.
