wildfire doesnt boot

hi,
i got a used wildfire device. it boots always into fastboot. i have tried to reflash RUU. that seemed to finish successfully but it stuck in boot screen when rebooted after finishing.
i can access the device via fastboot but what could be done next?
dont know the history of that device. maybe hardware defect? but would firmware update finish successfully then?
thanks for sharing your ideas

turn it to S-OFF then downgrade to hboot 1.01.0001... you must unbrand it first before you can flash custom roms.. you can find guides on the development section..

Fastboot will not work as you are S-ON. So you first have to downgrade your hboot version to 1.01.0001 and then install a custom bootloader with the use of revolutionary. Tutorials for downgrading and gaining root with revolutionary can be found in the developement section (cant link you as I'm using the xda app).
Once rooted, you can use fastboot or the custom recovery to flash a new rom.
Good luck!
Erwin
EDIT: I've just seen that the [full guide] on how to root with hboot 1.01.0002 is on the main page of "wildfire general"!

Unable to downgrade without an OS?
1st thanks a lot for your answers!
I am bit in trouble, because I dont have a running (bootable) Android on that phone. As I understand all the downgrade guides I will need an ADB connection (which requires some booted Android OS I think - please correct me if I am wrong).
My plan was to install an OS version to 1st check if device works so far and boots an official OS.
I successfully flashed a new ROM from shipped-roms. Cause it was originally branded I needed to create a goldcard. I realized that I can only install newer ROMs. Whenever I wanted to install an older RUU the setup gave me an error 140.
So I have installed an australian Telstra 2.38 RUU (http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...5.55.24H_3.35.20.10_release_167270_signed.exe) which successfully finished. But after installation the device reboots in normal mode and stuck after Telstra logo.
Is there a way to see why it does not boot successfully?
Is there a chance that this is a software error and NOT an hardware error?
Thanks & regards

Have you tryed to connect your phone when hangin in that tesla logo, and check if you can run adb now? With a little luck.. A simple "adb devices" will allow you to check.
Erwin

I think alpharev (and hence revolutionary) needs a full booted phone with USB debugging on. So maybe you can't use them.
Try to make a hard reset from the hboot menu. Power off the device and hold volume down + power button. Then clear storage there and see what happens.
If it still had the issue, then install the RUU by pc49img method. Download the correct ruu for your phone. Donot connect phone to PC. On windows PC click on start and type %temp% and enter. This opens the user temporary folder of your PC. Now run the ruu. Now if you observe the temp folder, there will be extra folders created which have folder name enclosed in {} brackets. Search in these folders for the file ROM.zip. Copy the ROM.zip to a safe location. Now format your memory card to fat32 (must) and put the ROM.zip to the root of memory card. You should use memory card reader. Then rename the ROM.zip to PC49IMG.ZIP . Then insert memory card in phone and reboot to hboot menu from where you can update/reflash the partitions. If still not working, clear storage again from hboot menu.
Give these things a try. If they won't solve you mostly need to give your phone to service center, because you can't do anything on a phone with heavily locked bootloader and S-ON when it is not bootable (AFAIK).

Still fails
Thanks so much for your support!
@Erwin: I've tried to connect via ADB but it failed. I dont get an ADB connection to my device.
@Bharatgaddameedi: A problem is, that I cant select anything in the HBOOT menu. The VOL-/+ keys dont work in HBOOT menu. I doubt it has an hardware error (keys damaged), because I can use them to boot either in HBOOT or HBOOT/fastboot. But problem is: I cant clear storage
I have created a SD card with PC49IMG.ZIP but it failed with error "Main version is older!". I will order a XTC clip and try to S-OFF this device. Hope that helps. Or some other idea out there?

Remove sdcard and boot into hboot mode and try to clear storage. There shouldn't be hardware issue regarding volume keys since you are able to boot into hboot mode.
And regarding the error "main version is older", it is because the ruu you are using must be having hboot 1.01.0001 (or even lower) whereas your phone hboot is 1.01.0002. As it cannot downgrade it gives the error. The solution is you should use an ruu with hboot 1.01.0002 . I don't know if there is one. You may also need goldcard.
And lastly , I would suggest to give in service centre rather than purchasing xtc clip. Because it is not confirmatory that you can solve it after making s-off by xtc clip. And moreover s-off by xtc clip will not enable fastboot flashing by default.

[HOW TO]return to stock (gingerbread) from revolutionary or normal hboot(11/2/11)

READ THIS:
i have removed the dead multiupload links that have for some reason been causing an extreme amount of confusion. i thot the "mirror" following each link was self explanitory,but apparently not.
from this point forward,i will no longer respond to "links are dead" posts or PMs if i check them and find them to be working.
in other words,yes,the links are working.
___________________________________________________________________
the return to stock thread from 5/17 is outdated. it still works,but afterward youll need to allow your phone to OTA to mr2 if you want to be on the current firmware.
between the newer firmware,and having to execute extra steps if rotoed with revolutionary,the old thread seems to be causing some confusuion. i thot maybe it would help if i threw it up here as well
its geared toward a revolutionary rooter who doesnt have adb set up,so sorry if its a little insulting to more advanced users
last and not least,if you rooted old skool,and just need to flash mr2 files,just skip the part detailing getting the old 1.04.2000 eng hboot back. go directly to: Putting current stock firmware and s-on back onto the phone
as soon as the GB OTA hits for realeek i will update this with those files.
*please read all directions first. post up any questions you have before doing anythingyou are messing with your bootloader,wich is a vital part of your phones operation. screwing it up WILL make your phone an expensive paperweight.
how to unroot
the revolutionary method of rooting uses a sneeky hboot exploit,and replaces your stock 1.04.0000 or 1.05.0000 bootloader with a modified permanent hboot. it not only gives you all the same fashboot flash abilities as the original engineering bootloader,but it very effectively blocks other hboots for overwriting it. its good,as you will remain s-off if you accidentally flash a full RUU,or accept an OTA,but makes it a little trickier to remove.
for the time being, removal requires ADB to be set up and running and some commands entered in "fastboot" to to allow the permanent hboot to be overwritten. once an "s-on" tool is release,ill take th is part of this guide down.
if you rooted the old skool manual way and have adb setup and working,you can use this guide to remove the permanent hboot.
with Revolutionary,will come a new wave of rooters that have no clue what adb,or fastboot even are. for you folks, Sele and the crew in the "rescue sguad" at HTC Thunderbolt Forum have come up with a really clever way to get the adb basics,and the eng bootloader to flash,with minimal setup and confusion. with their permission,im borrowing it for our guide here.
*WARNING* no siginture or file checks will be done flashing the new bootloader in hboot or fastboot.fastboot will literally flash "lets golf" as a bootloader if you tell it to. DO NOT mess with your hboot unless absolutely neccessary to return to stock for warranty purposes. if youre just tired of being rooted,flash the gingerbread ruu to get back to unrooted firmware and factory recovery. leaving the revolutionary s-off bootloader in place is the safest,and best option,and will not affect your ability to recieve OTAs.
*AGAIN- if youre just following this procedure because youre tired of being rooted,skip this next section and leave the permanent hboot in place. jump to "Putting current stock firmware and s-on back onto the phone" and flash only the first "PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.9" file(you can flash the 2nd file too if you want,but the permanent hboot will block it )
Setting up adb and removing the permanent hboot if youve never used adb before
1)if you no longer have the htc drivers that you installed when rooting with revolutionary,download them again from here on revolutionarys website.
2)next download *link removed (mirror)to somewhere convenient that youll be able to find it,like your desktop,or a "downloads" folder. it contains the old eng 1.40.2000 s-off hboot,and the bare minumum tools to install it.
3)the following directions were using windows 7 and chrome browser. other OS may be slightly different-the end result is you want unzipped,inside tbolt folder to be on the root of your C: drive.
-find the tbolt.zipdownload
-click on tbolt.zip download and open it.
-inside tbolt.zip,there is a folder labled tbolt. drag it to the root of C:. inside tbolt is the unpermanent hboot and some adb tools.
4) charge your Thunderbolt to 100%
5)click on then "start" bubble in the lower left corner of your screen. type "command" in the search window and hit enter. this will open a small black command window.
6)enter the following command(by typing or copy/paste):
Code:
cd c:\tbolt
you should see your promt in the window change to: c:\tbolt>
7)enter the follwing command:
Code:
md5sums hbooteng.nb0
check the output on the command window. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. the command must equal exactly 6991368ee2deaf182048a3ed9d3c0fcb if it does not,STOP!. delete the tbolt.zip download,and the unzipped tbolt folder from C:,re download and try it again. again,do not procede if the output in your command number does not equal it exactly.
8)once the number matches,you can continue. copy and paste the following codes into the command window:
Code:
adb devices
the output should be your phones serial number
now enter:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
this will cause your phone to boot into FASTBOOT mode,wich is a white screen with colored letters.
now enter:
Code:
fastboot devices
the result again,should be your phones serial number.
9) now youre ready to enter the command to unlock the permanent hboot and flash the new,non permanent one.
to unlock,enter:
Code:
fastboot oem mw 8d08ac54 1 31302E30
write the new hboot:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot hbooteng.nb0
if you select bootloader at this point from the fastboot menu, youll still see the permanent s-off hboot,so select reboot with the volume rocker and power button and let the phone reboot. after it boots,you can adb reboot bootloader again,or power off, then power on/vol down and check that your pink "UNLOCKED" or "REVOLUTIONARY" is gone and you have the old 1.49.2000 bootloader.
here is what you should see in the command window,the red are my inputs:

rename PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip to "PG05IMG",move to your sd card,and flash in hboot.
this is important! you must flash the PG05IMG_no_hboot_2.11.605.19.zip first
after successfully flashing that,you will be on unrooted gingerbread with an eng s-off bootloader. delete the PG05IMG file from your sd card. now place the PG05IMG_hboot_ONLY_2.11.605.19.zip on your sd card. check the md5. once youve verified it matches,you can rename PG05IMG and flash it.
again, only flash the hboot file after you have successfully flashed the rom.
now you are 100% stock on latest firmware. unrooted gingerbread 2.11.605.19 with *locked* 1.05.0000 s-on bootloader.
as always,be as cautious as possible doing hboot flashes,and follow directions in the http://androidforums.com/thunderbolt-all-things-root/353591-how-some-root-terminology.html to flash these files if youre unfamiliar with hboot flashing.
*please start a new thread before attempting this if any part of this confuses you. without a bootloader your phone is a paperweight,so we want to help you prior to making any mistakes
last and not least: if you have non working hard buttons,or no screen,see the directions in this thread on AF

Nice
Awesome Found that there is also another way you can use the same method from the original root instructions.
adb push yourhbootfilenamehere /data/local/
adb shell
dd if=/data/local/yourhbootfilenamehere of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Then just put the stock image on your sd card and use
adb reboot bootloader
and flash your stock firmware
Hope this helps anyone looking for a slightly quicker way

Not sure if this is a problem but...
After I un-rooted last night and ran the 2.11.605.5 RUU, I now get a bright pink message at the bootloader saying *** LOCKED ***. Anyways, the device now states S-ON and I am running stock. Is the LOCKED message something to be concerned about?

no the locked message is just something new they put into it some people think it means they might put it in the list of officially unlockable devices soon check it out here htcdev.com/bootloader

while i dont know that youll save any time doing it this way, this is certainly anotehr way to skin the cat if you have adb set up,and are fairly savy at using it,as there are alot of small details youre leaving out.
also i need to add a couple of things:
1)you will need to reboot your phone between
Code:
dd if=/data/local/yourhbootfilenamehere of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
and
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
as,rebooting imediately to bootloader will take you back to the revolutionary one. the new hboot is written on reboot.
2)be extremely careful with this. if you choose to flash a stock hboot rather than the engineering one,you risk a security warning if you flash the wrong hboot overtop of the wrong custom firmware. youll then be stuck with an s-on hboot and only be able to run newer RUUs to try and fix it.
if you really want to use this method,the safest way would be to run the RUU first. youll have to get a temp root shell(zergRush prolly will work),then run the command to replace the hboot that matches the firmware that you flashed.

as was said,this is just the new hboot. it does contain htcdev unlocksupport. thos that doesnt neccessarily mean they will ever give us a key not that it matters anyway,htcs "official unlock"only unlocks system,boot,and recovery,and is still an s-on hboot. better than nothing i guess,but since we have revolutionary and other root methods,theres no advantage to using the official unlock fomr htc.

updated OP for unroot to GB 2.11.605.5

This should be stickied. Thanks Scotty

Thanks for this. I am going to be upgrading my TB to a Droid RAZR and wanted to revert to complete stock, S-ON, unrooted for selling it on eBay. This worked perfectly.

just to be cleared to just go back to unrooted stock to receive future ota's is just follow this: will this take my s-off off..also can I reroot with revolutionary later..
the reason i want to go back to stock is the ota update notifications are getting annoying and persistent..

as always,be as cautious as possible doing hboot flashes. again,please post any questions before doing anything

Did you root with revolutionary? If you currently have the 1.04.2000 Eng hboot,then yes. That will get you to stock unrooted gb. If you plan to re-root,there are stock,rooted roms you can flash in recovery,that will also stop the ota notices.

So is there anyway to accomplish this without being able to turn the phone on? Dropped my T-Bolt over the weekend, phone looks fine but the power button is now recessed. Tried popping it back out, etc. and no dice.
Tried setting up ADB, but it isn't recognizing my device. Not sure if USB Debugging was on before, but now I have no way of checking. Tried a few tricks I read online to get the phone to power on without the power button, but none have worked.
Thoughts?

id prolly not worry about it. if it wont power on,they wont know its rooted. i believe any hardware thats not working is fixed,then the phone is flashed with current firmware.
i do not believe they will fix the phone,then turn it on to try and catch you being rooted.
either way,since you dropped it,youre looking at an insurance claim anyway. and they could care less if its rooted or not

after doing that, can I roll back it to be S-OFF/ROOT?

edited to reflect the fact that I'm an idiot who just essily fixed the problem

Problems...
So i rooted with the Original root method I do believe and have had this phone for awhile, I followed the steps as stated but after I flash the H Boot and reboot to do the first PG05IMG I get No image, wrong image, so on and so forth... I have no idea what has happened, I even grabbed another Img file from Bliynd but it still does the same...
Never had a phone do this before, its like it see's the IMG but will not load/flash it... Any help would be awesome man, sry for the trouble...

See attachment for pic of happenings lol So much easier
There is one more line of no Image or what not after whats on the pic, I guess I took it a lil to fast...

be careful! do not just blindly flash different images or RUUs. you need to use the files i listed,and make sure you flash them in the correct order.
if the PG05IMG is on the root of the sd card there are only 2 reasons its not found:
1)sd card not FAT32
2)incorrectly named
the phone must see "PG05IMG.zip" exactly. due to the way windows usually adds and hides file extension,its common to inadvertantely name to "PG05IMG.zip.zip" or in lesser cases just "PG05IMG". note that that is a zero,not a capital O
figure out which of those 2 is your prollem and your files will flash.

after doing what?

I know this is beyond dumb but since rooting with recovery anything I flashed was from cwr. How do I flash pg05img.zip from hboot? Will the phone then boot up allowing me to delete the file from file manager app or do I have to delete the first pg05img.zip from the computer?

Ok, so I originally rooted my phone using the ADB method. I used your stock RUU to unroot with S-off still off. My question is what is the easiest way to get root back with s-off already off and the original root bootloader?

[HOW-TO] [RUU] Flash RUU manually

I am writing this guide because I had a problem with the automatic installation of RUU.
In my case, the RUU installer stopped while waiting for bootloader and could not complete the installation.
Sorry for bad English, Google Translate helps me.
Warnings:
This operation will remove the custom recovery and root access.
I am not responsible for any damage caused by the use of this guide.
On the phone I have Revolutionary HBOOT. I do not know if the tutorial will work for devices with S-ON.
What do you need:
RUU file for HTC Wildfire / Buzz
USB cable
Step 1
You must extract "rom.zip" from RUU file. You can use this guide: sites.google.com/site/androidbyyorzua/home/tutorials/extracting-rom-files-from-htc-ruu
Step 2
Shut down your phone. Then enter the bootloader by simultaneously pressing the VOL- and POWER. Use the volume buttons to select "FASTBOOT" and press the POWER button.
Step 3
Run CMD and navigate to the folder containing Fastboot. Make sure your device is detected. Type "fastboot devices" and see if your device is listed. If so, proceed to the next step.
Step 4
Type the following into the command line:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip "[COLOR="Orange"][I]<path to "rom.zip">[/I][/COLOR]"
The computer will start to receive messages about the installation and on the phone screen will move the green progress bar.
When the application has finished working, enter:
Code:
fastboot reboot
Step 5
DONE! You have succesfully flashed stock ROM.If you want, you can flash custom recovery, and then use it to install the root acces from ChainDD (androidsu.com/superuser).
I hope this tutorial helped you at least a little.

This will work when s-on, but a goldcard will be needed and maybe a misc downgrade

[Root any Moto G] with screenshots [Simple Method|Well Explained]

Hi...
This is the tutorial to root any Moto G
To root any Moto G, three basic steps need to be followed... you can either do them manually or use a tool do them for you. It is advised to follow them manually so that if there's some bug in the tool you don't get into any trouble.
CAUTION - You will lose all data and files so better back them up.
For Google Play edition devices, the process is same and only the recovery.img file is different. For GPe CWM Advanced Edition recovery go here https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/ and select falcon_gpe and download the latest one.
For AT&T and Verizon models don't do anything written above. Just download the Towelroot app. Its a one click root app and doesn't require a PC. Itis trustworthy but is not guaranteed to work but you must give it a try since it won't do any harm and claims of never bricking a phone. Please reply with the result and your android and kernel version.It will probably not work on phones build after June 3 but you can give it a try. You can download it from the website https://towelroot.com
The three steps are :-
1) UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
2) FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY
3) INSTALLING SuperSu.zip FILE THROUGH RECOVERY. (SuperSu is acknowledge as the best app to give superuser and root rights)
UNLOCKING THE BOOT LOADER - The instructions to unlock the boot loader are given in the official Motorola website here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a . Don't be scared by their warnings.
UPDATE - There currently seems to be an issue with unlocking the bootloader on devices running 4.4.4 though it works for 4.4.2. The issue is with Motorola and is that, the unlock code given by the company is showing an error. They are fixing it and it may take some time though you can give it a try as it won't do any harm. Or you can downgrade the boot loader to 4.4.2 and then unlock it.
As confirmed by the Motorola agent, the problem of unlocking bootloader on 4.4.4 has been fixed
FLASHING CUSTOM RECOVERY :-
To flash a custom recovery, you need these things
1) PC and a USB data cable
2) Android SDK ( developer.android.com/sdk/index.html ) For flashing recovery only SDK is needed but it's your wish if you want to download the ADT bundle. After downloading and unzipping the sdk , open the SDK manager and download only the platform tools for this.. rest is your wish..... and separately download ADB tools and fastboot and extract them minimal-adb-and-fastboot.software.informer.com/1.1/
3) Recovery.img file - You can either use CWM foum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563599 or CWM advanced editionforum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639583 or TWRP forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2561757. EDIT - If your phone had come pre installed with 4.4.4 then use only CWM Advanced Edition. CWM Advanced Edition doesn't make backup on XT1033
4) Motorola drivers https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/97326/p/30,6720,9050
5) Enable USB Debugging mode in your phone by going to Settings-About Phone and then tap the build number until you get the toast 'You are a developer'. Now go to Settings again and you will see a new Developer Options there. Go there and enable USB debugging.
6) Have at least 25% of charge on your phone.
After getting all these things:-
1) Download the recovery.img file to your PC and copy paste it to android SDK/platform tools folder.
2) Boot your phone to fastboot mode by first switching it off and holding the volume down and power button for 3 seconds.
3) When in fastboot mode, connect your phone to pc, go to the platform tools folder, there pres shifft and right mouse click simultaneously and select 'open command prompt window here'.
4) In the command window enter
Code:
fastboot devices
If it shows a number and fastboot then we are good..
5) Then enter
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
( where in recovery.img the recovery is the name of your recovery file. Example if the name of recovery file is ABC then enter fastboot flash recovery ABC.img)
5) Press enter and if the command prompt window displays the message okay then the recovery is successfully flashed.
6) Now just boot your phone to recovery mode through fastboot mode by following the on screen instructions and in recovery mode select Reboot System Now to reboot your phone normally.
(see attached images below for screenshots)
INSTALLING SuperSu
To install SuperSu :-
1) Download SuperSu zip file download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/ and transfer it to your phone
2) Reboot to recovery via fastboot.
3) Select install zip and select choose from SD card.
4) Locate the file and install it.
5) Now reboot your phone.
YUP.. YOU ROOTED YOUR PHONE!

I have a huawei p6 but I'm absolutely not satisfied with that and I bought a moto g for my girlfriend and that is awesome.
The only thing why I haven't bought the g for myself as well is the rooting. That time I didn't find an easy way to root it.
If it is a working method than I will buy the 4g verson with sd card support

I looked into it just now... Currently there's an issue with Motorola with unlocking the bootloader when on 4.4.4...As people say, the unlock code given my Motorola is showing an error... You can still try it.. maybe it's even fixed by now.. Even if it fails there wouldn't be any harm.. Though the unlocking works fine with 4.4.2... You can revert back to 4.4.2, unlock the bootloader and then update to 4.4.4... The thing will be same as you will lose all data and files when unlocking the bootloader and so in reverting to 4.4.2.....(Remember, only unlocking doesn't mean you won't recieve updates, you won't receive updates only if you flash a custom recovery.)
EDIT - I added it to the OP. Thanks for bringing it to attention.

And does this work for Verizon model

You have Verizon I see. The only you will probably face is unlocking the bootloader.. Oh, wait first let me laugh... lol...OK....At one point of time you couldn't unlock the bootloaders for AT&T and Verizon and then we were blessed by the 'one click root' app by the famous hacker geohot called TowelRoot. This app claims to root all the AT&T and Verizon devices with just a click. You don't even need a PC. Just download the app and in the app chick 'make it rain'. Though this is not guaranteed to work but must give a try as it won't do any harm but there's a chance of bricking the phone but you can easily recover from a soft brick by flashing the stock firmware.
Towelroot - https://towelroot.com/
P.S. - Please reply if you tried this and if it didn't work reply with your android version and kernel version. Well reply with your android version and kernel version anyway.
Edit- I added it to the OP

Sorry I didn't know that. Downgrading the bootloader is a very risky process.
What did you exactly do?

Hey! I have followed all the steps. When i flash de recovery.img, the command prompt says everything is ok, but when i try to reboot into recovery trough the fastboot, it just turns off! It dosn't rebot into recovery! Thanks man!

Please tell which android version your phone came preinstalled with and what recovery you used.
Also when you reboot to recovery, after the blank screen do you see the android logo lying down with a red triangle?

Well it doesnt go wrong like you think so my phone is actually not bricked.
But the command window says that the operation failed so i think something is wrong with this testdrive image from the moto forum.

Yeah they say, if you on 4.4.4 and want to unlock your bootloader you have to flash the motoboot_testdrive.img file wich downgrades the bootloader to i think it was called 40.15 or so after that you have to unlock your bootloader and then flash the motoboot 4.4.4 stock image so that you have the actual one but for me it failed while i try to flash this testdrive image

So basically you want to downgrade the bootloader and then unlock it?
Well if you are on KitKat you can downgrade the bootloader by flashing 4.3 , then unlocking the bootloader and then updating to KitKat

Thanks for the guide. I've already recommended it to someone who was having problems.

Cool.

Thanks Meuuks13. This worked well.
Also, I've found that you can remove the "unlocked bootloader warning message" shown on boot-up by following the method in the Moto X forum:
