Help!! Broken digitiser trouble - HTC Wildfire S

Recently, My WFS was smashed and the touch would not respond however, i took it to a shop and they said its not possible to replace the digitiser, so my only hope is to send it to HTC hoping they will repair it, the problem is that my phone has an unlocked bootloader, which as all of you may know, it destroys the warranty, i really need help on what to do. My phone is Running CM7 and is overclocked to 806MHz.

I know it is possible, i have seen videos and articles on how to do it and they all reported success after the repair.

Flash a unroot zip through clockworkmod?
I don't know anything else though, not a dev.
Good luck mate.

Tried That, didnt work, maybe i will have to lock the bootloader using fastboot.

Check this out. Itll change UNLOCKED back to LOCKED rather than RELOCKED

No warranty on screens if they can fix it you would be charged for it

USB Port damaged. Need to Unroot

Hey folks,
The usb port for my HTC Desire is damaged and I am trying to unroot my device back to standard so I can send it away to be fixed under my O2 insurance policy.
Following the Unlockr method installing the RUU rom requires connecting the device with the USB cable, which in this case is NOT possible as my port is damaged.
Is there a way I can flash the RUU via Recovery? As I could transfer it onto my micro SD card via an adapter.
You can probably get away with just uninstalling super user

Because my Desire has been S-Off'd the obvious logo on booting is a dead give away my phone has been rooted etc.
Use Androot or Z4 and unroot with one of them

Would you be able to provide me with any further information on these two methods?

Unrooting with such methods, what results would this produce?
I have a custom rom flashed therefore I still need to flash the factory standard RUU.
try PB99IMG method ?

Are you sure the USB is broke?
Some cheap usb cables overtime become less of a snug
fit and give the impression of a broken port.
If you can make it work by bending the plug bit upwards
a bit then its probably just the cable.
Already tried usb brick fix here from xda?
To the PB99IMG.zip method:
1.) Download o2 ruu:
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_
signed.exe
2.) After this, follow this guide:

Maybe you a card reader to copy the PB99IMG.zip file on your desire's sd card.

After a quick look at this method it looks VERY promising. I am going to have to get a hold of an external charger and charge my battery to 100% to ensure I can carry out any procedure safely.

I have same problem, I bought a bad car charger, which had damaged my desire and flyer's USB port. Both of my desire and flyer already did s-off, still cannot get them back to s-on.
Dont bother unrooting, insurance dont care if your rooted or not (and even if they did rooting didnt break your usb so theres nothing they can do about it).
I sent my desire to orange insurace with cm7 on it, and had it replaced through orange under warranty with rooted stock rom. They said nothing either time, although it was swapped at my front door.

That's is not for my case, I have sent my desire to repair shop, they found my desire is rooted, and then ask $100 for repair it.
Why would they care if it was rooted if its a hardware repair?

dont you get? if it is rooted, they can say "hey is rooted, this void the warranty, we do not repair if for free!!" does not matter if the problem is hardware or software

Ofcourse I get it... every company tries to escape warranty.
But don't they have to prove that your actions (rooting) have somehow affected the phone? Which obviously it hasn't because it's hardware...
Why don't you take up insurance and just blow it up... do you get it?

It is a hardware fault being my USB port however I just don't want take any chances sending it for repair, their attitude may be that because I have rooted its voided the device's warranty therefore my insurance won't cover any repairs.
I haven't tried the method yet as I am going to get the lend of a friends battery due to the fact I cannot charge my device
Why not download an app and unroot it then??
~I can't remember the name of it though!! z4root or something
he is also S-OFF.
pB99IMG is the method.

To Root or not to root

Ok so I did do some search and would like to clear up 3 questions please.
1. If I root then the device is still stock (unless I change other things ) but stock is fine. I only want to root it to use this guide:
http://www.guidingtech.com/10821/disable-3-three-dot-menu-htc-one-x-map-to-task-switcher-button/
and get those annoying 3 dots away from my screen
2. If I root will my warranty still be in tact?
3. If I root will I still get updates that I can install from HTC themselfs?
Off my own topic but regarding the upgrade. My phone was imported from Singapore to South Africa because our service products SUCK!!! The update will still come from the South African service provider correct? Don't even know if they will bring one out anyway so...
ps: I have an HTC One X
Thanks guys
Rooting will in theory void the warranty. But you can always unroot to get warranty back. BUT because that you are unlocking your bootloader, you are also voiding your warranty, completely.
There is no way (as of now) to get back to a state, where you have warranty, from an unlocked bootloader.
Only way to root and "keep" warranty, is it either get S-OFF, or find an exploit so the devs can make an easy program like GingerBreak, to root your phone.
Yes, as long as you are on a stock rom, you will get updates, but I don't know if you will loose root that way. I don't think so, but I am not sure.
you only void the warranty if you unlock from htcdev if for example the software you flash on your phone cause an issue with the motherboard for example like overclocking and such. if you have a hardware issue like a broken screen then you are still under warranty. someone correct me if i am wrong..that is kinda the feeling i am getting by reading through the forum
soooo glad I posted it Just registered an account on HTCDev Not gonna do it that way
Ok, can anyone please let me know how to get rid of those 3 dots then I hate being in a app and it reduces the screen for the dots.
You can't without unlocking and rooting your phone
Use this to root, without unlocking your bootloader.
EDIT: Link removed for now.. Not sure if it is working on the Tegra 3 version.
EDIT 2: You guys just have to wait a few hours! Root is on its way!
From the conversation i had with the online tech support at HTC they said that my warranty would be void if i used the unlocking tool at HTCdev.
I even specifically asked if hardware faults would still be covered and he still said no.

[Q] Warranty question

Hi
I have a question before sending my HTC back for the wifi repair to HTC.
If I make a nandroid backup of my existing custom rom, then unroot the phone, when I reroot the phone once i get it back, can I simply use the nandroid backup I had made to restore everything once I have re-rooted?
Thanks

Yep, ofcourse you can.
To be honest you need to re-lock your bootloader also.
And hopefully your lucky enough to be one of the people that gets a warranty fix even though your unlocked and rooted.
As many people get turned away.

I made a nandroid backup of my stock rom and also have the boot.img for the stock rom. I assume that if I flash these 2 first and then lock the bootloader? Is that correct?

Hi, yeah thats correct mate.
Easiest way is to flash the correct RUU for you phone. Im sorry but I don't know how to get the correct RUU perhaps someone else could help.
What I do know is that you can never fully "lock" the bootloader again, it will say "Re-Locked" and not "Locked" all you can do is hope they do not check the bootloader.
Hope this helps

Definately, if they boot the phone and see CWM, TWRP, Titanium, SuperSU/SuperUSer they'll know straight away you are rooted.
Remove anything you possibly can that will identify a rooted unit.

Warranty VOID?
I needed to send my phone in, but I don't have the sticker on the back, or the box, and there's no way for me to get to the settings on the phone, because the screen stopped working.
Will HTC still be able to service my phone, or is the warranty considered void?

HTC repair is bull**** just for the record. I have 4G Slides on the rest of my lines, ALL of which had to be sent in.
2 of those phones took nearly 45 [FORTY FIVE] days to get back to me. Apparently there was a hold for parts coming in from Taiwan. They wouldn't tell me which parts. They wouldn't even give me an estimate time. HTC didn't apologize or update me on my repair. I found all this out after numerous calls day after day.
But if you thought that was bad service, you'll love this...
The third phone was sent out and came back fairly quickly. Within a week. I was so happy to get my phone back.
Opened the box and GUESS WHAT?
HTC SENT ME THE WRONG PHONE
They sent me a completely different phone for a different carrier (HTC Evo 4G for Sprint). It was very beat up as well.
I swear, if it wasn't for their designs (which I love dearly) I would've dropped the company by now...
Sorry for the rant/threadjack. Thought you guys would like to hear a horror story. I'm done
does anyone know how to remove the super su app and the clockwork recovery? everything else is now back to stock as i did a nandroid back up immediately after rooting initially

Getting warrany back

I bought my HTC one X a few months ago, and i rooted it as soon as i got the device. I did not test any part of the phone, and now, it turns out that my camera is faulty. Is there some way to get my warranty back?
Thank you very much.

I think if you have just root and have supersu app you can unroot from superuser app options, and when you rooted you flashed TWRP or CWM recovery so you need also to reverse to stock recovery, but to find stock recovery need more info, your CID and sw main-version to find matching stock recovery.img! And you also can relock bootloader after doing all that that i was mentioned!
But warranty depends from country to country so..maybe you dont need revert to stock at all, some members didnt and repair service didnt ask anything!

Hey thanks for replying
I have done all those, but on my bootloader, it says "RELOCKED". Will that have an affect? is there a way to get rid of that?
Nope....they will always see that your bootloader was unlocked before. So basically getting warranty is a guess. If its a real hardware problem you will get warranty, but if they can prove it was software then you probably won't
Everything like Mr Hofs said..."RELOCKED" status is fixed for now...and when you unlocked bootloader unfortunately you agree for new warranty condition..
I really hope that htc will fix my phone because my radio is stuffing up too
If thats the case, ill just have to bring the phone in and see what happens
thanks for your help people

[Q] Radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them. Is this normal? Need help
I just recently purchased the m8. I did lots of research learning everything I could before doing any modding. So today I decided to unlock my boot-loader so it was my first time getting into recovery. But when I get into recovery I see both radio and OpenDSP have "INVALID-VER-INFO" beside them. Its never been modified and I got it from t mobile and was the first to open the device. Not a second hand phone. Is this normal? I've been googling for hours and cant find any information. Its been sort of difficult getting any help in the htc M8 help threads honestly. If anyone can shed any information I would greatly appreciate it. I haven't noticed any thing wrong with my phone out of the box and everything about the functionality of the phone has been stellar.

I think something is off on that phone. I unlocked and s-offed mine and the only thing different was the os is blank but everything else was fine.
But if u have no actual problems with cell reception or audio then maybe u just need to update the firmware to latest after u s-off and that Will fix u up. More than likely.
Let me know I have done a lot on my phone allready. I even switched it to a dev edition just to get the 4.4.3 firmware and then flashed my backup back to my Rom of choice.
I'll help if I can. I notice there ain't many people helping on this forum there all on the international forum

I understand about the s-off but really it's the best thing to do because if something ever goes wrong there will be nothing stopping u from fixing it.
Also I was gonna suggest taking it back but they might trip on the unlocked bootloader and if u fastboot oem lock it Will say relocked. So they will know. But it's worth a try. T-Mobile doesn't seem like they know anything about technical stuff. so if you try to explain to them they might look at you like they don't know what your talking about.
I seen the picture if it is still locked take it back. And show them
Your firmware is allready the latest so that's a factory f-up.

No apology needed. Thank you for helping me out. I was able to s-off and get everything back to stock. Boot loader locked not "relocked" , s-on, unrooted. But the "invalid version" message was still there. I just came back from the tmobile store and they ran some diagnostics and said there was a problem with the software. They exchanged it for me and I checked it before I left the store and this one is perfect. I even asked for them to run the same diagnostics and everything checked out fine. I'm gonna do even a little more research before modding this one. I'm a little nervous now ..lol....but again thank you!!! I really love the M8. I came from the galaxy note 3 from att and sadly att locks the boot-loader on it. I love the note 3 just not on AT&T. I'm trying to sell my AT&T note 3 to buy a tmo version.

No apology needed. Thank you for helping me out. I was able to s-off and get everything back to stock. Boot loader locked not "relocked" , s-on, unrooted. But the "invalid version" message was still there. I just came back from the tmobile store and they ran some diagnostics and said there was a problem with the software.

That's great problem solved.
now u know u got a good device.
I love the m8 too. I got mine first day it came out at T-Mobile.
First thing I did was unlock and s-off then recovery and root. Till some roms came out then I went to Bad Seed Customs Rom and that's it.
I've tried a lot of the roms even the new stock with elementalx kernel will last all day.
There's a whole lot u can do but most of the info is in the international forum.
Anyways glad I could help.

Weird bro...now I go into boot loader with this phone and I'm getting the invalid ver message again. I'm still unmodified with bootloader still locked. I haven't even connected the phone to my computer yet.

Lol....I'm gonna keep it. I think it's software related. Nothing wrong functionality wise just like the other one. And I went to a different tmobile store for inventory purposes and lessen the chances of me getting a bad phone. Like I said I checked it at the store it didn't have that message. And they ran diagnostics and it read clean. I'm just gonna flash away lol

Some research needs to be done to figure it out. I know I'm not the only one

Probably not but everybody just gets to unlocking and s-offing so fast they probably don't notice.
It's probably just the ones coming with that firmware out of the box.
When I got mine it had a different version.
