BIG problem!! please help (no sd-card, no usb-connection AFTER recovery image update)

hey guys,
once every serveal months i check for updates for my rom, my recovery, and some apps.
yesterday i wanted to update tp the latest recovery (1.52)
now, the phone connected, driver was installed correctly (windows 7 32-bit)
i used the adb commands as posted in the recovery topic.
now it updated it, but after a few minutes using and wiping the phone, the usb-connection will not come to live (in any way, not even a "unknown device") and when the phone booted it gave a message: "SD removed, please place sd-card." while it has a 8 gb on there. luckily i backed up all data i needed from the sd before i flashed. so i used recovery to recreate partitions and wipe sd. but nothing works anymore... when i select ANY option in recovery wich needs SD access it immediatly gives errors.
also tried a nother microsd of 1 gb which did also not work...
about the usb-connection, it also does not work in Recovery.
but in the bootloader, it installs without any problems the well known "My HTC" device. using fastboot to boot to recovery image works, but again: no usb connection
please guys... help me... without sd-card i find my phone completely useless. (because of many documents and pictures for my work.)

I've had this problem and I had to send my Hero for repair, but it could be difficult if you have custom software in there, thry to flash original rom. Not sure though if it can be done through fast boot.
Also if you have to send it back, pretend to be an idiot and say it just went wrong. "I didn't do anything" could work.

Use fastboot to revert to a stock ROM (update.zip)

This sounds very similar to this issue on Modaco - http://android.modaco.com/content-page/299174/no-adb-no-sd/
Still ongoing, as I (pulser) am trying to guide the OP through making the goldcard (need to find another android phone to do this) and then we need to try an RUU somehow???

ok, and how?
thanks for reply.
i was thinking of letting it be repaired, but as you all say, unlocked spl, recovery image, custom rom. it does not look so good when they disver that.
but i am a stupid guy, so pretending to be stupid should be easy for me

If you are just interested in getting it back to stock for returning under guarantee to HTC, here is what I would suggest.
(No guarantees, as I haven't had to try this, and won't, for obvious reasons)
Get the stock RUU file from the hero that you have. I would recommend the oldest one that is available for you. (eg. a 1.73 one).
DISCONNECT your phone, and run the exe file(Yes, sounds strange, but bear with me).
Wait till the splash screen for the RUU is up, asking you to accept the EULA etc.
Now browse in my computer to your temp directory (C:\Users\Username\AppData\Temp in Vista/7, C:\Documents And Settings\Username\Application Data\temp in XP)
Sort the folders/files by date modified, and the most recently modified (or one of the most recently modified) folder should contain the RUU stuff. Inside a subfolder is a file called rom.zip. Copy this file to the desktop or another safe place. Once file is copied, close the RUU.
Now get your phone plugged in and booted into fastboot. (hold back + power)
Then use the command
Code:
fastboot flashall C:\Users\Username\Desktop\rom.zip
No guarantees, but it should get you back to the stock recovery, system and boot (NOT HBOOT or SPL, the actual boot.img that android uses to boot the kernel)

can i also flash custom rom with fastboot? to test if something is wrong with the rom?

That would depend on what version of SPL/HBOOT you have. If it is security off, then maybe. Otherwise I doubt it. You usually need an original, HTC signed file to flash using that method.
Feel free to give it a go, but I don't think it would work.

Desire broken?

Hi,
I flashed a modified framework-res.apk I got from the emulator (using the new Gingerbread) and flashed it to Oxygen 1.0. I have a GSM, AMOLED Desire.
Now my sdcard doesn't get recognized anymore and the device isn't able to connect to O2 Germany. When I try to connect the phone to my PC (Windows) I get a message that Windows wants to install a "Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM" driver.
I still can boot the phone up, I can get into recovery (AmonRa 2.0.0) and fastboot.
Can anyone help me?

Flash a stock ROM - ignore the Windows driver thing, that's to do with a modem if you Google it. Why you'd take something from Gingerbread and try it on FroYo is beyond me - super rookie mistake right there!!

1. It only was the framework-res.apk and I only took the images from it.
2. I don't have access to my sdcard. Is it still possible to flash a stock ROM?

Try flashing a rom via fastboot.

As you are on o2 Germany, grab this RUU:
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/htc/htcdesire/htc-desire.html
and reroot via unrevoked, gonna delete everything on your device but should work, you might want to take your sd card out of the phone before doing this just in case anything weird happens ;-)
best regards

That's the same as the o2 UK RUU on shipped-roms.com, would also mean no gold card needed to flash it

How can I get the ROM image as zip file? Is it the OTA update.zip?

Edit: Read the next post, some genius information, learned sth new there : >
If you're talkin bout my solution there is no way to get the zip, simply install HTC sync (yes, you have to -.-), fire up the executable and follow the on screen instructions.

It's the full RUU. To get the PB99IMG.zip from it do the following:
1. Run the RUU
2. Once you get to the first screen of the RUU, move it to the bottom of your screen and go to Start>Run and type
%temp%
And click OK
3. Browse to the newest folder created in the Temp folder
4. In the folder will be a ZIP file called Rom - copy this to your Desktop
5. Rename thr ZIP file to PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip) and copy it to the root of your SD card
6. Turn your phone on whilst holding volume down and follow the instructions

I think you don't have to flash a RUU rom. Flashing for example oxygen via fastboot again should do the trick.

Better to flash stock again to get everything working again then root again

I have the nandroid .img files of my system before I got those problems. Would it be possible to flash those somehow via fastboot?

For that method I said you do NOT need FASTBOOT. So long as you can connect you SD card to your PC to copy the ZIP file to it and turn your phone on into HBOOT then you'll be fine. If, and it's a big if, it doesn't read the card then yes you'll have to use FASTBOOT and an RUU - you don't need HTC Sync for that

It's now updating. I hope it doesn't matter that I have removed the hboot- and splash-image from the zip-file.

This method sounds very clean. Second that.

Removed them from what? The PB99IMG.zip? Why on earth would you do that?!?!?! It's going to brick your phone!!
Just flash back to stock and start again

Currently it's just a piece of hardware that is only capable of using WiFi. I can't damage it more. But maybe you're right. I will install the unchange zip file.
But it would be interesting to know what went wrong. Why does using images from the Gingerbread emulator framework-res.apk for a FroYo ROM leads to such an result?

Because the rest of the ROM isn't Gingerbread. It's completely different. It's like me taking a customised framework file and trying to use it on a stock ROM. It doesn't work
Just go back to stock and start again. That way you know you've got a clean base to start from

OK. I now have installed the zip but it still can't find the sdcard. And it can't connect to the mobile network (2G/3G) too

Wipe everything(everything! even system and boot), reflash radio and oxygen, see if the error persists

[Q] Artemis without ROM

My P3300 is without a rom. I had problems previously and had to install the original rom via bootloader mode. It worked for a while then began to freeze and automatically restart at times. tried to upgrade the rom to a different version but was not successful. it gave me the restore mode but was also not successful. Now my phone is without a rom and i cannot install any rom to it as well. it gives me Invalid vendor id error or corrupt image for all the previous working roms i tried. it begins the update then the phone reboots at 2%. need help desperately.

You can try to flash your device with the SD_Card Flash method look for it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
1. Download the original rom for your device that was installed at the beginnig you bought the device with.
2. Extract all the contents of the installer file (winrar or a similar prog.)
3. navigate to the extracted original rom (RUU_signed.nbh)
4. Rename the file to ARTEIMG.nbh and put it in the root of your storage card
5. put the card back in to your device and hold down the voice button after you press the power button.
6. Now your bootloader should show up and check for the ARTEIMG.nbh on your storage card.
7. Slide down the volume button and it should begin to flash your device.
8. After flashing process is finished. Power device off and do a hard reset.
If your device is working again and you need further help for unlocking your device (Super-CID) to flash custom roms pm me or post in this topic.

[Q] i bricked my phone

Is USB debugging enabled? I'm not sure it matters if using ruu, but it does for all other operations involving connecting via USB!

yes
hi i did check that and it was so i did try with out it enabled and it did not even start with it enable it start then give me a 107 error so ???? it because i flash the new rom or is it my windows 7 drivers or even settings ??

Don't use Rom-manager for flash,update,backup.it gives u more trouble then it solves.experienced user recommend not to use it.
i am also in same situation like you few days ago usb bricked and stuck on stock rom..and i solved my problem by doing this steps.
after i unlocked my sd card via fastboot command"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" sd card recognized by phone and i can browse it via file explorer.
then i copied the visionary+(it gave me temporary root access which is needed to work this whole thing out).
root explorer,terminal emulator apk and those usb bricked update file(image_flash,mtd0.img) to sdcard from pc via card reader and installed them.
before copy those update file on sd card i edited the mtd0.img to put correct cid n rom info via hex editor.
after that i copied those update file in phone memory
/data/data/ and set permission for r/w and execute with the help of root explorer as i got root permission
after that i simply typed this command in terminal emulator
"su
/data/data/flash_image misc /data/data/mtd0.img"
Rebooted my phone and voila usb brick is gone htc sync,usb tethering,sd card mount,charge everything is working

i fixed it with a little help
OK my wife has the same phone as me so all i did was use clockwork recovery to make a back up img of her phone and then i flashed it and it had all her data and the phone went in to safe mode so i factory reset and its now all fine and working with the original rom

Stuck After Trying to Return to Stock HTC 10

Hey everyone,
this is my first forum post on the xda website so I'll try to create an effective post as best I can.
Objective: Attempting to return to out-of-the-box stock android after using a custom ROM, LineageOS. I mainly want to return it to a condition where I would be able to hand it back to the carrier. It's also much more convenient for me to use the phone in stock. From my understanding, this is possible without much difficulty.
Issue: After many days of searching forums and following guides specific to the phone's model, I've put myself in a confusing position. The phone's current state is as follows: Installed OS[None], Bootloader[Relocked], S-ON[True], Boot to Recovery[Unsuccessful], SIM Card[None]. I'm unable to detect the phone on my computer(running Windows 10), and therefore can't utilize adb commands.
If anyone has any advice or guidance I would really appreciate it; and if you need me to provide any more information I would be happy to. I'll also try to respond as quickly as I can. Thanks!

What is your CID/MID and software version? Just use an ruu for your device that's at your current firmware version or higher. Put it on the root of your sd card and run from download mode.

I only have access to the CID(TMOBO10) and software version(2.51.531.32).
I've attempted to use an RUU, although after many attempts I couldn't get past the application setup screen. After the progress bar finished installing the RUU, it would close and never prompt me for anything else. I tried it multiple times.
I don't have a SIM/SD to use, unfortunately.
TWRP was installed as my Recovery, although trying to access it returns a boot-loop.
In terms of using adb, my phone will charge if plugged into the computer but it's not being recognized for file transfers.
I'm gathering that the only option left is to use something like a SIM card as you mentioned?

You could troubleshoot your RUU issue, it should work if you have a windows computer. Try googling it. Unfortunately I can't help you much there, it's always worked fine on my machine.
Else, yea, the SD card method also works well. Find an ruu zip version first before trying to find an SD card. The ruu.exe you tried using won't work in this method.

Hi.
PC method
As @Tarima has mentioned the RUU is not running because of a Windows/PC issue.
Your best option is to try and run it in another computer or a friend's computer.
You can put your phone to download mode (volume down+power)
And run RUU again. Here is a link just to make sure you have the correct RUU. It is for your CID and its 2.51.531.32
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569947237
For microSD card method
Use a friend's microSD card. It will need to be formatted to FAT32. So backup the microSD card data. Hehe!
To create an installable zip for that RUU, you again need a good computer.
Here is how you can get the installable zip from the RUU since it is encrypted you just cant extract it.
Download this decryption tool from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/tool-universal-htc-ruu-rom-decryption-t3382928
Choose 32bit or 64bit as this is vital to its working. Also make sure dotnet framework 3.5 is installed on your machine or else this tool will not run.
Once decryption tool is ready to run, just drag and drop the RUU on top of HTC_Decrypt_Tool.exe
It will give you some options. From these say yes (Y) to get new keyfiles AND to create installable sdcard zip file. you will know it when you see.
All other options such as uploading new keyfiles to community and getting boot.img and system.img is optional.
Once you get the zip rename it to 2PS6IMG.zip if it already isnt renamed.
Transfer to the root of your microSD card (dont put in any folders, just put it direcly on microsdcard)
Put microSD card into the your htc 10.
Enter download mode (volume down+power)
Download mode should detect the zip file. Press volume up to install.
If you need anymore help please post back again
