Help I cannot figure out what is wrong with this phone! Please help!

My boyfriend has an HTC Wildfire S. He's had it for about a year or so. A couple of days ago his phone died and when he got home he plugged it in, and it wouldn't turn on at all. I suggested he should take the battery out and charge it without it in. He did so, and then his phone brought up the HTC boot up screen. But that's all it would bring up. It would turn on then turn off by it's self. It will do that until you take the battery out again. I looked up other peoples questions similar to what's happening. I found a lot of information, but the one that seemed to work the best was rebooting the whole phone with the volume down button and the power button. I have tried that numerous times and still has yet to work. It keeps doing the same thing. It will bring up the HTC screen then turn back off, and repeats that until I take the battery out. I've tried other things like, leaving the battery out for a long period of time and charging it without the battery in. It still doesn't work. Every time I plugged it into the charger the red light would blink about 3 times. But, somehow I got it to stop blinking. I thought it was fixed, but it still does the same thing. I don't know what else to do. He also does not have a contract on this phone, so he cannot take it to a shop to get a new one. So, if someone could help me, I would REALLY appreciate it!!

the problem with htc is that if it turns off, it doesn't turn back on until it is charged, try letting it charge for a few hours(with battery) and then try to turn it back on, if this doesn't work try asking htc itself

I've tried charging it all night when I got the red light to stop blinking. All it did was get REALLY hot. The light never turned green either. I mean, I would try it again, but I'm afraid I'll damage the phone even more if it keeps getting really hot.
