[Q] HTC Wildfire S keeps restarting

I upgraded my ROM from 1.3x to 2.1x using goldcard. After i ran the RUU, it said that the phone update went successful and now the phone just keeps turning on and off without even letting me go to hboot. Please help??
if u have nandroid back up just try to restore, if u dont re flash your rom just make sure that you wipe sytem, wipe cache and try to restore factory settings on the recovery menu just to make sure.
how can i wipe the cache and files, my phone does not even start up the hboot, pc could not even detect my phone. please help.
access recovery menu by pressing volume up + home button + power on at the same time hold it until your phone boots up, then release power button when the phone power up but keep pressing volume up + home button until it reaches recovery menu if it still doesn't work tell me we still have ways for that.

Just confused, pressing "home button" included? also afaik its volume down+Power button.
Also, is recovery menu available even if you havent install CWM? i know its needs debugging to install CWM.

sorry "tol" kinda sleepy when i posted this, your right its volume down+Power, if the phone is already rooted there is a recovery menu already but not CWM, but you can install CWM using ODIN just find a CWM tar.md5 file so you can install this using odin.
its not working. i cannot get to recovery by pressing volume key + power key. any other way to do that?
Maybe your phone already bricked. Jtag will help you to resurrect your phone.

how to use TWRP

just rooted my one x
followed the steps here to install TWRP recover
but what i cant figure out is how to use it exactly.. from the project page it looks to be an app
and yes i am new to this **** lol
you can go to recovery using bootloader ( power off and press power +vol down ).. or use below command through adb ( device connected to pc ) - adb reboot recovery
Not good if you think custom recovery is just some app. You should do research and learn the importance and usage of custom reocvery.

im new to rooting too. i also did the above but i thought it was (volume up + home button+ power button= recovery mode) ?
No, the correct combo is volume down + power to get to the bootloader, then select recovery from the menu (using the volume keys to move the cursor and the power key to select).

First, before you do anything, read about what TWRP is and maybe watch some videos about the features or something so you don't come back with a formatted sdcard and no idea what to do

It seems that you are getting your information from the wrong source. That is the completely wrong button combo, and keep in mind that every Android device has different button combos.
On this device, its power+vol down (release power after a few seconds, but keep holding vol down until the white screen comes up) to get into bootloader. From bootloader, select recovery. There is no button combo to boot directly into recovery.
Don't follow directions for other devices.

Found Stock recovery 3E. Can I root without unlock bootloader?

Finally I found there is a stock recovery in HTC One S.
I Followed this step:
1) Shotdown the phone.
2) Press power button and wolume down. I go in Hboot mode.
3) with vol key I select Recovery and press power button.
4) You’ll see the HTC logo, then the screen will go blank, followed by an image of a phone lying flat with an exclamation point and a triangle
5) Now, press and hold down volume up, and then while holding them, press and release the power button. Release the volume rocker. You should get a blue menu with a set of options – you are now in recovery mode.
Code:
Android system recovery <3e>
Volume up/down to move highlight:
volume button to select.
Reboot system now
apply from sd card
apply from phone storage
apply from cache
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
Now The question is: Can I root my stock phone (with bootloader locked and without modified recovery) with this (metohd 1):

Don't Worry,
Download ADB toolkit
go to shell
and run command by on debugging on in developer option..
developer option can be on 'About Phone'---> Software Information---->Build Number (Click 10 times)
command: adb reboot recovery
If you have custom recovery, use only kitkat method.
1. Power off device
2. Hold volume down and power button at the same time
3. When lg logo appears release for second and now hold volume up and volume down at the same time
It is a little tricky and you maybe need to restart device multiple times
4. You will get "Factory data reset" screen
Now, if you have custom recovery you can select "Yes" and enter recovery, this will not format your data. But if you have stock recovery it will format.

I. Find boot into download mode and done

I. Find factory reset and wipe cache
