Just got a HTC Wildfire from a friend, that doesnt work, when you turn it on it just launches the boot menu, and nothing else works, the menu can't bet controled with volume rocker it simply just won't work. Any ideas on fixing this one?
btw, if you turn t on holding the volume button down, it shows Hboot instead on fastboot in the upper part.
Can't post the screenshot cause i'm new here :/
is it s-off?

I just got my HD2 it boots fine into the stock ROM. The only thing I did was HSPL it.
I noticed that I can't enter the bootloader via the volume button method nor hard reset it....
Any idea whats wrong?

Do all of those buttons work when the phone is booted? If so, maybe you are doing something wrong. Never heard of this issue.
Yes, the volume buttons work in Winmo.

Are you holding down the volume buttons, and then hitting the power button? You haven't mentioned that you are hitting the power button so I'm just wondering... Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it. Volume down and Power gets you bootloader. Volume up and down and power gets you a hard reset...

Yeah, I'm like 100% sure I'm doing things correctly. It just goes straight to the -t-mo introduction.
I've found one other post some guy saying the same problem maybe i'll PM him.
Does it matter that I'm not using the OEM battery?
ok I searched thru all threads, im trying to create a backup with clockwork. I have rooted with clockworkmod and have no clue how to get to it. I am a noob but have rooted and have flashed FROYO on my EPIC. I do have titanium backup aswell, but lookin for the other backup incase i decide to flash back to stock for the OTA FROYO. THanks, Please STEP BY STEP, Or atleast point me to a thread that tells it cause ive been searchin for a hour now
Hold Down the power,volume up,volume down and camera all at the same time and you are know in clockwork.
Also to navigate in it use the voulume up down and camera to select.
Also you can use the keyboard dpad with the enter button for select.
Another nice button combo is camera,power and volume up i think is a soft reset.
Hope this helps.
that isnt working for some reason, just reboots back to up. I was holding volume rocker, power and camara. do i have to do something before i shut down? or start to reboot when the lights are on after shutting down??

When the phone is on hold:
Power
Camera
Volume up
Volume Down
It will work believe me..
Just keep trying sometimes if you miss a key it will activate the reboot button combo..
If your phone is off: Hold camera power and volume down i think...
The phone has to be powered off. And then you hold volume down button, camera and power button until you are at the green cwm menu.

no it doesnt it can be on and you can hold both volume rockers, camera and power and it will take you to clockwork with out power off..
But yes your way works with the phone off..
For Sh*ts and giggles I thought I'd try both methods mentioned here and yes they both work.

Holy balls the double volume rocker thing does work. Good thing I tested that before I said he was wrong lol
For some reason, when i reboot my phone (if it freezes and i do a battery pull), it only goes to hboot after that (engineering hboot). Along with that, in hboot, the power, and both volume keys are unresponsive. I tried removing battery, and sdcard and retrying, i only get to hboot.
The only way i can get out of hboot-loop is to run "fastboot reboot" from a computer (which wont be very convenient when i am not at home)
Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to get out of the loop without a computer? (i was at low battery when my phone froze and got into the h-boot loop..about 10%)
Thanks
EDIT: I somehow solved the problem by going through and pressing every button on the phone twice starting with power and going counter clockwise (power, power, volume up, volume up, volume down, volume down, home, home, menu, menu, trackpad, trackpad, back, back, genius, genius, camera, camera) I don't know how it worked but that's what I did
One of your buttons (VolDown most likely) was stuck and was causing this behavior.

That's what I figured. But when I pressed volume down I could feel it click.. It might have been the actual trigger underneath the button.

whenever i want to do a factory reset with the hardware buttons... and go to recovery i just get a android laying on its back... but it doesnt go further hwo do i fix this
When you're at the screen with the android laying on its back, while holding volume up press the power button. It should bring you to the actual recovery screen.

my phones dutch, so it says "geen opdracht" below the android laying on its back, meaning "no assignment" roughly translated, any ideas?
That's what happens when you try what I said? Or that's just what the initial screen says.

these are the steps i do
- phone's off
- pressing hardware buttons to get into bootloader selection screen
- choosing recovery with volume buttons
- press power to choose recovery
- google logo appears, android laying on its back appears, 2 seconds later, it says "geen opdracht" translated "no assignment" below.
And have you tried holding down the volume up button, and then pressing the power button? That should bring you to the actual recovery menu.

at the the android laying down, hold power and press volume up. in english, the text says 'no command' if i remember correctly.
Have you messed around with your recovery at all? What's your current ROM and kernel? You may have messed up your recovery image somehow.
Also, does that text only show up after pressing volume up and the power button or does it exist already when the picture of the Android shows up?

No, i have not messed arround with my rom or whatever, everything is stock, as it was out of the box.
i choose recovery, i get the android laying on its back with below it "no command" written, pressing volume up and power button doesnt do anything, except reset after holding it for periods of time.
First question: Not sure if it's the phone or the software but when I shutdown my phone and try to turn it back on by holding the volume button and the power button, it doesn't work. But as soon as release the power button, it decides to turn on. Can someone help me with this?
Second question: Does my phone need to be rooted to get Android 4.1.1?
NOTE* Currently on Android 2.3
1) Keep trying, you shouldn't have to release a button to turn it on. Are you holding the right buttons? Its down+power
2)Yes

First Volume down, then the power button, it should be on within 3 seconds.
Do you have ADB enabled? Plug your phone into your computer, if your computer recognizes it via ADB, come back
Help!

I would try pushing recovery img through adb. See if that solves the problem.
