HTC Wildfire S 2.3.5 Update

I have similar problems on Desire S too.

I had some problems after updating Desire S aswell. Didn't bother with a hard reset, just turned phone off and took the battery out for about 20mins. Seems to have cured the problem for the last couple of days since I done it

My missus is having the exact same issue on hers since the update. I'll give this a try on her phone too and see if it helps.

Taking the battery out didn't work on my Desire S in fact I suspect it created a few more problems. Not sure wheter to take it back to Vodafone shop first or to ring HTC Ireland!

Sorry about that. Well when I explained my problem to O2 they recommended a hard reset. Just remember to back everything up

Turn off the phone, pull out the battery, hold volume down and power up, you get into the download mode, press down again and then power to clear storage (she will lose anything not on SD card) and that's a proper factory reset, sometimes after a flash Androids can be laggy first boot...

If that doesn't fix it, send me a pm and ill guide you how to root it and stick a custom Rom on it, I'm using mindhaxor one, its great...

HTC recently unlocked part of the bootloader (not completely, partially from what I can gather) in the last week literally so it is possible, (only now to the masses) to put custom roms on it...

My bootloader was unlocked with a thingy called an XTC Clip a good few months ago, in order to put custom roms on it, so I could tiddle around with whatever roms I want the last while, but people who couldnt get access to it were left in the dark, I got mine done in a chinese phone shop.... cost 20 quid, saved me a world of pain!

Im not sure of the new method to unlock the bootloader, but here are instructions if you fancy giving it a go : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431969

It actually looks a lot easier than the ****e I had to go through tbh, and I think this handy EXE thats linked does it all for you....

Any questions just ask and if I can help out I will.....

That freezing thing im pretty sure is a bug, had it myself, this link sorted it : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21203638

My latest rom is a derivative of stock, with 1GB of app space from the get go, guide here :

ha, world of pain, tell me about it, I've managed to unlock the bootloader following threads on xda, I'm pretty sure I've rooted it, I have superuser in my apps, I can reboot in CVM but when I try load an image it fails & says (bad) after the ZIP file?!?

I've a wildfire s with S-on & an unlocked bootloader, I'm not sure how to install roms from here...

Any ideas anyone??

If you have CWM installed its a simple matter of installing the ROM from there, make sure to wipe cache, data and dalvik cache before installing from zip, then it should reboot to a custom rom....

Any problems let me know, if I can help I will...

Thanks for the info, do I need to make a goldcard or can I just put the zip on the root of an sd card?

Cheers...

I didn't have to make a gold card, but mine was already pre s-offed, id say just stick it in the zip and if you run into problems then make a goldcard, don't think you need it with CWM installed
