Reflash HTC Wildfire, 3 Net Locked

Hey Guys, My HTC wildfire is net locked to 3, i have tried several times to install a custom rom via unrevoked 3 tool.
This is the process i went through:
downloaded rom(s) - have tried several
copied to SDcard
ran unrevoked 3
backed up
reset to factory settings + then wiped cache partition
install from SDcard > navigated to zipped rom
installation flashed up for a second then quit, does this everytime on any rom
reboot
checked software name everytime and is only coming up saying 2.1-update 1
any ideas on how i can get either unlocked 2.1 ROM or 2.2 ROM installed? is there anything i am doing wrong / missing
many thanks

You need to first debrand your WF. You do this by creating a Gold card.
I did mine by the Modaco method.
Google debrand wildfire and you'll see.
Good Luck

Ok nevermind, have found it, many thnks, now sitting with my debranded phone, flash time

Hmmh, still the same result when i came to flash the ROM. It opens then quits a second later. I now have a debranded phone.
Any ideas?

Well I can't offer you a solution but I can tell you that my Wildfire works on 3 without any need for the gold card method. Make sure you have added 3 network settings in wireless network settings. Sometimes custom ROMs don't pick this up.
Also, at the risk of sounding insulting, make sure you have paid your bill. I thought I had my bill set to direct debit but either the 3 customer service goons failed at setting this up or my bank wouldn't allow it. So for a couple of days I was thinking that my custom ROM wasn't working but actually it was 3 had cut me off.

just a small point here but a fairly substantial one, i am talking about flashing the wildfire to a different ROM, not having network issues, your comment was unhelpful as perhaps you did not read the original post. Thanks

Can anyone help?

Try reflashing as I had that problem once. And try a different memory card as I have killed 3 mem cards upto now!

Did you click install zip from sd card or apply update.zip

N1 acting up

Hey
I had posted earlier about my N1 not connecting to my network. I thought the problem was fixed, but I guess I was wrong. The problem is deeper than that. I flashed CM7 Nightly. All was well but the mobile network wasn't working. The reception bars were zero with a small cross on them. I flashed MM's Gingerbread. The network got stuck like that. No bars. On the lockscreen it read "(No Service)|Airtel" (airtel being the name of my service provider). Then I found out that audio wasn't working either. No audio from the speakers or 3.5mm jack. I changed roms, changed sims, everything. Nothing worked. I tried my sim in another phone and it worked perfectly.
I then tried updating the hboot. It seemed to have worked but a reboot later I was back on square one.
I then tried to update my radio (I'm on 4.6. Tried to update to 5.12) but on connecting the USB cable the notification didn't pop up. The charging LED lit up but that's all. I tried mounting my SD card through AmonRA's recovery but my PC did not detect it.
What could be wrong with my Nexus One? I've been using this phone for about 10 months now and after this I'm back to my old Sony Ericsson w705. It's unbearable. Somebody please help me. Any help will be appreciated.

Raptor

Have you tried returning to stock to see if the situation improves?
You did do a nandroid backup of your stock ROM before flashing everything yes?

I rooted when I still had eclair and haven't been on stock ever since. I have a nandroid backup of my stock eclair ROM. I think I'll download a stock FRF91 and try it. I updated the radio to 5.12 but it has had no effect on the problem. I'll try a stock 2.2 ROM tomorrow since it's night here in India right now. Thanks for your response.

Hey, sorry for my long absence. I had been caught up.
Well, here's where I stand: I tried all the roms I could find- stock 2.2, cm 5, cm 6, cm 7, MIUI, 2.3, everything. But my phone just shows no service. Nothing in the device status too. There is no audio, neither through the speaker, nor through the 3.5mm port. And the worst of all, it refuses to mount the SD card. When I connect my N1 to my PC the charging LED glows orange but no USB mount message appears. I've tried mount widgets and apps but nothing happens. I can't even mount the SD card through the recovery (Amon RA, latest). I tried ADB devices but it didn't show any connected devices. What should I do?
I'm currently using my old Sony Ericsson w705 and going from Android to J2ME isn't really something anyone would like. I will be really grateful if someone could help me fix my beloved N1.

I guess you're out of options - restore your phone to stock and send to HTC for repairs. This seems to be the only answer to your troubles.
Read my signature, look there for Unroot/restore guide, PASSIMG method, using FRG33 ROM. Execute the guide. If your phone starts working - great, if not - send to HTC.

Hey
I tried the PASSIMG.zip method. I got back to stock hoping it would fix the problems but no luck there. I live in India so it's unlikely I will be able to send the phone to HTC. Besides, I unlocked my bootloader so my warranty is void.
Anyway, I think I may have found a lead. After the PASSIMG.zip didn't fix it, I went back to CM7 nightlies. I installed SPB shell ui. It comes with it's own wallpaper and changed my wallpaper to its own wallpaper. Anyway, I was updating the nightly build and I did a complete wipe a couple of times. After I flashed the new build and it booted, I realized that the wallpaper from the SPB shell ui was still there. I have a habit of wiping every time I flash. When I updated again it was gone. But a few builds later it was back.
What I think is that there is something wrong in the system partition and clearing it might solve the problem. But then again, I might be wrong. I would appreciate some advice on this matter.
Regards
Raptor
Edit: I wiped the /system partition through root explorer. It didn't fix the problem. Could there be some other files in the phone memory that could be causing this problem?

[Q] At wits end!! Please Help.

OK folks, I know some of you are going to jump straight down my throat, but please, back off and stick to the friendly forums that this used to be where anyone would help anyone.
the story so far is that I once loved my Nexus One, I've had it since launch, I have ran Cynogen Mod 7 for a couple of years, I have had MUI roms running, I have played with various kernels, updated radio, upgraded hardware, all was going wonderfully.
the one thing I could never get was full SU!! Heck knows why!!
I then started getting random problems and downloaded the original google frf83 software and flashed the phone via update.zip using amon-ra recovery.
I thought all was well after this, as my phone received 3 OTA updates and now my phone is on...
Android 2.3.6
Baseband 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernel 2.6.35.7-59465-g42bad32 ([email protected] #1)
Build GRK394
I noticed that in the Status (settings) it was displaying my old sim card number, which is not the number for the sim in the phone now. his I thought was odd and that something had gone wrong.
So as most of us would do, I went to boot AmonRa recovery and it wasnt available, it had been overwritten with the default recovery; ok lets just ADB and reflash it, I hadnt used ADB for a couple of years because I did everything through AmonRa's awesome recovery!!
So off I go, install the SDK, all the appropriate packs including the USB driver, just like I did when I originally flashed the phone with the recovery image!
But an old problem came back that I hadnt even been bothered about because I always put stuff on SDcard via a card reader!!
I have had consistent problems with my nexus one for some time now in regards to the USB drivers, no matter what I do the phone will not install and I believe it could be some conflict in the device.
I am running Vista Ultimate (fully registered) and no matter what I do I cannot get the Nexus One to install. It will only display as unknown device, which is absolutely useless.
I have browsed every post and tried everything I have found, and yet nothing is working. I have used devmgmt, I have tried the roll backs, I have tried to install every driver available to get it working. I have uninstalled the device, updated drivers after fresh install attempts, I have even formatted my laptop thinking it may have had a corrupt OS and bought Vista Ultimate.
I am not a complete noob and I have been around these forums for some years, but I never thought I would have to cry out like a 4ucking Noob with such a seemingly simple problem, but it is not simple, I have done everything I can possibly find!!
I must get the USB working in order to get the recovery back, I can access my phones default recovery but it will not work when trying various roms as update.zip!!
I have tried the terminal commands on the phone to install the recovery.img but I do not have SU access and the phone point blank refuses.
I have attempted to change and remove the recovery files reffered that are causing the revert to default recovery, but shock.. I cannot delete because of insufficient permissions. I cannot ADB because the USB driver refuses to install.
So if I cannot change the files due to permissions, I cannot ADB because of USB, I cannot get to Ra's recovery because of bootfiles, I cannot use default recovery to update.zip... I am absolutely losing my mind and I'm going nuts browsing the forums for the second week running, yes I am now on day 12 of trying to fix this problem and at a complete loss...
Can someone please help??
I will even allow remote access to pc because I am that desperate to resurrect my beloved Nexus One.
I also have a Galaxy I9000 without 3 button download mode but that is an entirely different story!!
Please just someone, come to an oldskoolers rescue, and yes PAYMENT will be given to the knight in shiny armour!!

You could try on another computer which doesn't run Vista

Or just use fastboot instead of adb...

His Nexus One isn't recognized by the computer, so that won't help unfortunately. Also, I've never heard of build GRK394..

Install the drivers for fastboot already Jeez and then read How to use android for dummies.

[Q] Wondering if im screwed or not

OK so heres my story of what happened to my Captivate. I plan on getting an SIII sometime in the next couple of weeks, but it would be nice to get my Captivate up and running again in case I need it sometime in the future.
So I was running CM9 on my phone, not sure which build, not sure if it matters. Phone was still in my pocket when I went swimming. Left it in a bag of rice, and it booted up. I got the message that said Encryption failed...reset phone or whatever. I figured it would just format it and didnt know that it would lead to more problems. So based on what I have read on the site, now my internal SD is fried im assuming. Now I tried following some guides for using an external SD card but I couldnt get it to partition from ClockworkMod, and I couldnt get into download mode for a few days because something probably got messed up internally from water damage. I managed to get into download mode today and tried running an Odin One-Click to see if it would help at all. Now my phone brings up the AT&T World Phone screen, then shuts off as soon as the screen normally transitions into the next step of the boot process.
So thats my story. I just want to know if anyone knows if this is still a problem with the SD card or if my phone is completely beyond repair. Thanks a lot to anyone that tries to help

You got hit by the EU (encryption unsuccessful) bug. From what I hear not a whole lot you can do now except try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
There are a couple other threads in the dev section about this as well.

Ya that was the guide I tried but my external SD card wont partition, at least not through clockworkmod. When i press the button to partition, the partition process is instant, and i know it just has to skip it because there is no way it would partition that fast.

You could always pay to have jtag performed. It will overwrite all the screwed up stuff and fix the problem.

I think with the EU bug its just trashed. JTAG won't even fix it. There are a few stories of them coming back to life on their own, but no promises.

Hi we offer a work around re-map to have the partitions run on you external sdcard. Pm me if you need any help with this.

Serios problem with my Samsung S Plus

So I'l start off by saying I found this forum, from a freind who said that you guys on this forum could help me with the problem I'm having.
So I have a normal Samsung S Plus. It was rooted. And It was already overclocked, but the preformance was still bad. So someone recomended me to update my Samsung version or install a custom ROM. I talked to a guy who also had the same phone as me and told me about this ROM. I read up alot about how to install them and everything, so I did it. I installed the ClockworkMod Recovery(the touch version) I put the rom on my phone and followed a tutorial on how to install it. It went all good and it said that the rom was installed succsesfully. So to finish the proccess I had to reboot my phone, so I did. The reboot took abit longer than normal and it was expected, but the phone went back to the recovery main menu, I rebooted again hopeing it would resolve it self, but it didn't. I rebooted the phone like 10 times but it kept going to the main recovery menu. So I read up on alot of things on how to fix it and contacted alot other to try and help me, none of the things helped, it always went back to the main recovery menu.
I actully called my phone company and they gave me a number of a phone service, so I brougth the phone to them, I waited for about 2 days for them to get back to me. So when they did, they said that my phone was broken? They didn't say how or why they just said that I broke the phone somehow by trying to install a new version of Android and they said that the reapir would cost me 220 Euros. If you're from Europe you would see that that is a complete rip off. Offcourse I didn't pay them, I just got my phone back in the same state that it was when I gave it to them
So to shorten this topic, I'm looking for a solution to fix my phone myself, without having to pay loads of money, that I dont have.
Basicly my phone is stuck on the ClockwordMod Recovery main menu screen. I can't do anything outside of that. I can edit stuff with the options the mod gives me.And I can put stuff on my SD card if I take the card out of my phone and into my laptop.
If anyone on this forum can help me, please comment bellow. I would be really greatfull to anyone that can give me some tips on how to fix this.
Thanks for reading.

Does download mode work?

You have a bootloop into Recovery. Don't worry, it's not a "serious" problem, I had that too, first time I flashed CM. Fortunately, [email protected] has a great and easy solution for this (it worked for me and for many others).
You don't need to pay anything just flash this and bootloop into recovery will never happen again: link.
Hope it helps!

Download Odin Multidownloader 4.43. Open it up in your computer.
Boot into download mode by powering off the phone, than with the phone off, hold down Volume Down + Home + Power until you get into Download Mode. Now plug in your USB cable.(connect your phone), if you have Windows 7, wait for installing the Odin driver, (it installs automatically) and then you should see ADDED !!! in Odin.
Than follow the instructions from point 3:
3. Select OPS - AriesVE.ops (UnZip from AriesVE.zip)
4. Select BOOT - Boot_loader.tar
5. Flash it and bootloop into recovery never gona happen.
You can download all files from here: (All credits go to [email protected], original post: Fix for recovery bootloop problem)
