Did you unlock your bootloader? If not, you can claim your warranty
[HTC Wildfire S] marius.muntean:
I've got it from ebay, so I don't have any receipt, just the phone. Also didn't bother to check that before bricking it.
[HTC Wildfire S] B3NJY:
Yes mate I tryed..get as far as 5 vibe sometimes 7 vibes sometimes led on or off, wait 5 mins push up vol wait at least 10 mins push up again and no single buzz..gutted...I am unlocked so screwed there. Is there no way to get usb connection to do it the old way.
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
@ B3NJY What phone do you have (marvel/mavelc, which carrier)? Which pg76img did you use? Did you make a goldcard?

@machofx Can you boot into the bootloader? (remove and replace battery, press and hold vol- and power)
[HTC Wildfire S] marius.muntean:
sigh

I can't boot into the bootloader. As I said, nothing is displayed when I turn the phone on nor does it vibrate, it just turns the backlight on and off every two seconds.

P.S. I tried VolumeDown+Power button after removing the battery, didn't work!
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
I think the ruu did not install properly. You probably have a hard brick. ( read 1st paragraph of 1st post)
[HTC Wildfire S] B3NJY:
I am pretty sure its marvel c and my carrier is 02uk I got it unlocked soff in shop,

I installed .sense rom but didnt like it so restored in recovery and all was fine but always had a problem with ota updates so tryed to do it manually, managed once but tryed latest update and its bricked me to black screen, volume down gives me 5/7 vibes.....

MARVEL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT - 1.08.0000

MICROP - 0451

RADIO - 7.53.39.03M

S/W 2.13.401.2

I got the rom from here....link proved on this site...

http://www.mediafire.com/?ih6amhh2kzm4q6g which was the correct one I think for europe, I cannot make goldcard if I cannot connect to usb can I ?
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
My friend, you have a marvel, not marvelc. ( if it was a marvelc, then the 1st line would be MARVELC EVT1 S-OFF RL & O2 doesn't sell the marvelc). When did you check this?Which PG76IMG is that? It should have a higher s/w number than yours ( you can do it if it is lower also, but that is a much longer procedure). You can make a goldcard by putting your sd card in another htc phone also.
[HTC Wildfire S] B3NJY:
Help me

I cannot remember when I copied those details down but I have access to my girlfriends wildfire buzz or card reader can you help me with it please if you have time....I am on shifts at the moment and off to work now till 11.00pm but if you can find time to give me a guide I would really appreciate it....I dont think I am anywhere near as smart as you but I am sure I can follow your links and instructions...it may help a lot more people and in my eyes should be a sticky.

What happens when you try to flash another Rom? Which rom did you try to flash?
[HTC Wildfire S] junxracr:
When I updated my hboot updated, but not radio and somehow my recovery was wiped out. So I was stuck. I removed my sdcard and used my computer to put PG76IMG Alquez recovery on it and removed the update PG76IMG. Everything went fine and I restored one of my backups. Recovery worked so I could of flashed a rom.

A true unbrick story.
[HTC Wildfire S] B3NJY:
I gave up trying and sent my phone of for repair to FoneFunShop ltd they fix bricks for £30....worth it methinks and they send you emails when it arrives and progress report and a photo of it working before they repost it special delivery...took 3 days..note: when it came back it had 2.3.3 firmware and would not find any ota updates but luckily I had backed sd card up so had a restore saved on there so after using 1 click root I could just restore everything like it was before....now I am a happy bunny....:)

P.S. My s-off was still off too....

[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
Glad I found this thread... Sort of. I know most of the Incredible S tricks; however, I have in my possesion a project from Russia.. and it has thwarted me at every turn. First off, its a three vibe for me (marvelc vm).. did the load up (correct RUU translated to PG76IMG.zip).. did the vol down + power... Not getting any (expected) response vibes after waiting then vol up (of course all the while screen non-responsive)... So I asked myself maybe the vol toggles have gotten screwed? I could fix this via some adb-fu.. so I proceeded to hook it to the cpu. (tried with battery in and out) No love at all... So I ask myself is usb screwed? Only fix I know for this is in terminal (phone side) and of course the phone is not booting (regular or to recovery)

So far, I doubt this fix will help, but more than willing to keep trying at it. I have it set to the side until my jtag tool comes in the mail at present.

[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
can u help me with the problem with my phone..?

please...!!!!
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
Ok... So I read back a page... The reason you are getting a sig fail is because of the wrong RUU you flashed... I hope it wasn't a gsm on cdma or vise versa; nevertheless, your hboot won't update unless it sees a >= number to what it is expecting.

So, couple scenarios to fix. You could flash the correct hboot via fastboot [preferrable choice] since your fastboot seems to be working... Well lemme stop there.. other options carry risk.. Try that first.

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
i downloaded this file "PG7610000_Marvel_hboot_1.08.0099_20111216" from htcdev.. and started the update process.. but during the process phone restarted and stuck on the htc logo.. i tried repeating the procedure but it shows an error "[191] Rom not supported.."
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
You double-checked that it was correct rom for your device and also checked md5 to make sure you got good download I assume?
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
i dint download any rom.. i just download the ruu file from the htcdev.com.. i was unlocking the bootloader.. but during the process it stuck on htc logo..
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
Search for downgrade tutorial in the index then you will be able to install your ruu. DONT FORGET TO MAKE A GOLDCARD
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
okkay.. thanx.. i will try doing that.. will get back to you soon..

thanx..
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
i tried that downgrade process.. but still stuck at the same point..

the phone is restarted and get stuck at the same screen.. htc written on the screen and "!" marks (caution marks..)
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
Just give it back and claim your warranty. They will repair it for you
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
i already did that.. but they refused to repair it in warrenty.. :confused: :confused::( :(
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
What ruu did you run after changing software number? What did you change it to?
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
So download the original RUU [from football's thread] and attempt reset first.

#1 rule.. don't panic ;)

This is the first thing a repair shop would attempt, given the circumstance.

Only thing I don't quite understand is how you're relocked when you were only flashing... Ahh I think I know now.. you attempted a hboot downgrade essentially bc your phone has had an OTA that upgraded hboot since the unlock hboot came out... If this is the case [for future reference] all you need is the unlock key from htcdev.. you do not need the carrier specific hboot on htcdev if your hboot has unlocked or relocked at top.

Regards,

Rob
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
it was already 2.17.0.0.. so i dint make any change init, as earlier when i installed ruu, tht said latest version is 2.17.0.0..

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ----------

i was unlocking the bootloader, but after the ruu update finished, the phone was stuck on htc logo.. but still i continued the unlock process thinking that this would be the part of the process. but it ended up in nothing. then i took hte phone to service center, they said that u hav unlocked the bootloader and now the warranty is void, and now you will have to replace the motherboard.. and said that there is no other option.. i came back and saw the next step in htcdev unlock bootloader process, it said u can relock the bootloader, so i relocked it in cmd.. but still the same.. i seriously dont understand now..

m all confused.. :confused: :( :confused: :(
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
You've got that wrong. Change the number to something lower like 0.0.0.0 to flash any ruu
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
ohh ohh.. i see..

i will try that again..

thainx a lot..
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
and one more thing i wanted to say is, when ever i try this command, "fastboot flash boot boot.img" , it shows some error that signature verification failed.. even if i flash the recovery, it shows the same error..

:confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
Your bootloader should be unlocked
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:
when i apply "Unlock_code.bin" it says successful. but on the white screen, it shows *** RELOCKED ***.. :confused:
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
Try again. It happens sometimes
[HTC Wildfire S] sameer.patil291:

is there any way i can unbrick this set? because ruu can connect to my wfs so i think it is not completely brick set.

while i pull out usb after error message it shows following information

please help me I am noob here

3 vibe

I have a question, when I press power + vol down the phone only vibrates 3 times, ive tried it over and over again and Ive followed the steps but seems like the phone wont flash the PG76IMG.zip. I have the three vibe brick, any idea on what i might be doing wrong?
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
You have tried the steps specified in the tutorial? This method does not work for all phones. Just go back to where you got your phone and they may give you another one
[HTC Wildfire S] F9zSlavik:
I downloaded the correct RUU, changed the name to PG76IMG, inserted into SD, took off battery, reinserted battery, hold down volume plus power and the phone only vibrates 3 times, not 5.

Am I doing something wrong?
[HTC Wildfire S] CoLlisiionZz:
My phone is stuck at white htc start up logo I have tried flashing multiple roms I'm very familiar with it I just don't understand whats wrong I've flashed the stock rom back a few times then tried flashing a custom rom the roms are from xda devs but now I am just fed up with it and wanting to flash the stock rom again but now its not letting me maybe flashing and re flashing the same roms did something? but as I said stuck on htc screen when booting have let it have more then enough time to load btw... any help would be wonderful been at this for 2 days and have read so many forums :(
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
Did you wipe data before flashing? What do you mean by 'flashed a stock ROM'? Did you run an RUU?
[HTC Wildfire S] CoLlisiionZz:
Sorry didnt mean flashed the stock rom this is the only rom that has workedhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19801316#post19801316 but then i tried flashing another rom i think it was cm7 but didn't work... and yes I always wipe data before flashing and no I have no clue what an RUU is my htc wfs is vm a510c i believe if this helps and it is s-off and rooted no matter what rom i try flashing it will always get stuck at white htc screen what is an RUU? and do you think this would solve everything?
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
You can only use ROMS which are meant for the marvelc. Check the shipped marvel ROM collection at the top of the dev section for the RUU of your carrier. Just download it, connect your phone, and run it or an easier solution would be to restore a nandroid backup if you have one
[HTC Wildfire S] ShaGGy_UK:
Is there any hope for mine

I Have a brick :(

I managed to get a 5 Vibe boot once (nothing on screen) and PC tried to install QUALCOM driver

but didn`t have Goldcard at the time so it could not use the PG76IMG.zip from the card, I have since made a Goldcard but cannot get it to vibrate 5 times again, I get nothing from Vol- / Power.

But if I press Vol + & - / power i get 7 Vibes ?

last Hboot I had shown (which was working fine)

Marvel PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-0.90 0000

MicroP-0451

Radio-7.46.35.00

any ideas how to get it to vibe 5 times again or will it work with 7 (via Vol + & - / power)?

Is there a way to test goldcard is setup correctly?

Dear sir,

i was try to root my wfs and had rooted the phone sucessfully. Then intalled super user. It worked perfectly for one day. After one day the phone slowed down and was getting errors from super user. Then i tried to reset my phone from bootloader. But i dont know how my phone stucked on bootloader screen and is not strating now. I can access bootloader options and rom manager. Have cleared every thing from rom manager but my phone is now not starting. Everytime i push power button it automatically shows bootloader screen. I think i just f***ed up my phone. Please help.

Company is telling that the phone is out of warranty now. And they are now demanding 16000 bucks to repair that phone. That value is 3000 bucks more than my phone. What should i do now..

Please help or my dad will kill me.....!!!!

Sorry, i think am annoying you a lot but i have some questions.

Does that RADIO number matters?? coz i had also changed the radio version number of my phone from "android-info.txt" file placed in PG76IMG.zip??? and this is the ROM file you are talking about??? coz i have also tried to install this file from memory card. and also have cleared all data from recovery many times.

You cannot modify the ROM.zip or PG76IMG.zip.

For the ROM to to flash, check the link in my signature
[HTC Wildfire S] Shaahid1988:
Sorry CANT understand.

Dear sir,

m sorry i did not understood u. DO YOU MEAN ROM.ZIP & PG76IMG.ZIP ARE DIFFERENT FILES??? AND DO MEAN THAT I CANNOT EDIT MODIFY THE ROM.ZIP OR I SHOULD NOT MODIFY ROM.ZIP??? AND WHAT ABOUT RADIO VERSION NUMBER???
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
It is the same file, but you should modify anything! Modifying it will just make it useless as your phone will check it and then just skip the installation if it is modified.

You will have to make a goldcard if you are installing a ROM for a different region
[HTC Wildfire S] Shaahid1988:
But what about my radio version number sir

ok sir,

i will try this when i get my phone. (hopefully tomorrow). And you did not answered about the

radio version number :(
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
What about it?
[HTC Wildfire S] Shaahid1988:
About Radio Version Number

Actually i wanna tell u that i have change the default RADIO VERSION NUMBER TO SOMETHING ELSE FROM ANDROID-INFO.TXT FILE AND THEN APPLIED THAT ROM. AND NOW MY PHONE IS SHOWING ME THE CHANGE RADIO VERSION NUMBER. :crying:
[HTC Wildfire S] vbhtt:
YOU MUST NOT MODIFY EVEN A SINGLE LETTER IN THE android-info.txt OR PG76IMG FILE! Why do you want to change it? If it is a higher software number than yours, and you have a goldcard, everything will work fine.
[HTC Wildfire S] boonwuilow:
The phone repair shop just contacted me that my WFS has been recovered from hard brick by JTAG repair method.

They are trying to reflash the stock rom back.

they can't flash my phone with firmware version 1.38.707.1

That tool will set your software number to 0. So if you flash any RUU, the phone will think it is upgrading and will allow it.

So i just let it then plug in my WFS let it reset the software number, then i flash an RUU that i want?
