I had replaced pull-chain switch on the Hampton Bay celling fan,that had pull-chain broken off, not realizing that this fan is remote controlled. So I wired black wire from switch to black wire that was coming down from fan and the other black wire from pull chain switch to white wire.It tripped the circuit breaker.Did I destroyed all fan or remote control or just switch?

PROBABLY you destroyed the remote. Put the original pullchain back in AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY WIRED, and test it. You will probably have to remove the remote system.

I wired everything the way it was.Fan is not working, although light comes on on the remote control like it had before.Black wire is hot if I test it with ground only.If I test that with white wire there is nothing...

Open the canopy, remote the remote receiver, wire the fan without it, tell us what works.
