Hi guys,
I am one of the 'lucky' ones with a broken USB-port. I currently have the MoDaCo custom ROM installed but I want to be able to install a generic ROM and return my phone for repairs.
Thus, I need to flash a generic ROM to my phone, and that's where my (n00b) problems start.
1: Flashing the original file simply by running the .exe file crashes. First, when describing my current FW version it says something about having 'too many images' or something. It tries to flash, but gets stuck while 'waiting for bootloader'. This runs to 100, and then gives me an error-message. Annoying!
2: As 1: doesn't work I want to flash directly from Fastboot. However, I cannot exract the two files needed to flash for some reason... I rename the RUU file from .exe to .zip, but only extract the boot.img file - the large .zip file returns an error, and nothing is extracted. I use winrar to extract, but have also tried 7zip.
3: If/when I succeed in extracting the files - where should the be put, when I execute the fastboot commands? On the SD-card or in the androidsdk/tools folder on the pc?
I really hope you can help me with the above. It's so annoying, so now I just want to return my device
Thanx for you help guys
Welcome in the club, come to here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...sues-with-usb-connectivity-etc-and-root-a2sd/
cause there we collect all infos about that issue
Thanks - but I'm following that constantly.
At the moment I just want to be able to flash the generic ROM, so I can send in my phone for repair. A rooted ROM is not going to be accepted.
Do you know the answer to my questions above?
There is a thread over at modaco on how to unroot your device. I used that to return mine to a generic rom before handing it back. It uses the fastboot option. I had the usb problem too.
Do you mean this thread:
http://android.modaco.com/content-page/307683/howto-unroot-your-htc-desire/page/40/
???
I can't see anywhere the talk about Fastboot option...
Just enter fastboot and run one of the stock roms from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677513
unfortunately that's where my installation crashes. I go into Fastboot and just run the .exe files. That stops because it cannot find the bootloader or something.
I need a method that isn't just executing the .exe files, but pushing the boot.img and the .zip files from a terminal fastboot command!
what does fastboot say if you plugin your phone, start in fastboot, download the android sdk to your pc and run fastboot devices from commandline

It can do that no problem - I can run the fastboot commands. I just don't know which to run - that's my problem
just run
fastboot devices
this shows if fastboot sees your phone. It should give you a letter number combi
BTW: if you are on vista or win7 try the exe several times, cause theese two OS'es aren't fast in detecting new devices

I solved it - somehow.
I ran the unroot RUU file - again and again. And tried a few different USB-ports on my pc. I came gradually a little longer each time - and in the end - after maybe 5 attempts, it went all the way.
Yay - so now it's sent for repairs!

My just keep saying error 140 wrong bootloader version?? I have tried so many time now?? How did you do that? Do I have to get into fastboot to flash the exe file?
Right, basically I think I have pretty much messed up my phone, yeah yeah I know what your all thinking, seen this before.. you most likely have, I have read all the pages and tried to search for people with similar problems to me to save asking the same thing again, however I keep finding answer's that take me back to another problem on my phone.
anyway long story short, my phone wont get past bootloader. i can still get to recovery, but that does not help much as i get about 1 minute before it restarts if i plug it into my pc when in this mode, unless i format the system.
Phone spec:
Bravo PT3 SHIP S-On
Hboot-0.93.0001
Microp-051d
Touch Panel-Synt0101
Radio-5.17.05.08

Running ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1
am able to format Boot, System, Data and Cache.
However when i try format SDcard i get the message
"E: Can't Mount /dev/block/mmcblk (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(no such file or directory)
Error Mounting / SDcard/! "
I thought maybe trying to re-root my desire using unrevoked, if that would have been an option, with the latest Clockwork recovery, but it will not find my phone in fastboot. However after a few attempts of plugging in my phone ,AMDesire Recovery finds my phone and can get it to wipe the dalvic cache, sd:ext partition, create a partition, try to wipe sd:ext partition and it says "error : run 'wipe ext' via adb.
I thought at looking at the DeBricking page on here, but that seems a lot of code, and when trying to find the right downloads i to even enter all that code i have got myself a bit lost.
any help whatssoever, would be greatful,
also i apologise for this if it is in the wrong forum but as i am pretty much a new user, i am unable to post in many places.

Here a link with the tutorial how to fix ithttp://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
Done in a few minutes
PS: wanted to quote not to press the thanks button anyway
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
error: device not found..
my device drivers are android bootloader interface.
only just noticed with the adb tools that i don't need to install java SE and about 200 more apps being uploaded from adk server... but still, now i cant get past this bit!
Fastboot
Like what the other replies said, this is, most likely, a USB brick.
Try this command in fastboot mode: "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
Search in the forums to set up ADB/fastboot properly in your PC.

In order to install Android SDK you need JRE. You do not have to install all the software available in SDK you have only to download the tools.

This reads to me like you have a corrupt Ext...did you attempt to flash any alignment.zip before this happened?? Every time I try to flash an alignment, I also get this error message...hence I don't bother anymore...
My suggestion is to remove your SD and place in a card reader, then format your Ext using GParted. When you boot to recovery again, all should be sweet.
Just a thought.
dont use any EXT partition at this stage.. format ur sd card with single FAT32 partition and then try
Thanks to all of you trying to help me, I think i may need to mention that my phone does not seem to be able to read any sd card, not just the one i was using, tried my 16 gb, 8 gb, and 4gb. same message comes up.
going to try gparted later, and also have another go at creating gold card (what driver should be on set for this to work, Androidbootloader or MY HTC ? )
hopefully by the end of tonight i will have a working phone .
Once again thanks for everybody's help, I will click all the Thanks bit later
Steve
this is an usb brick, you should install android sdk, go into cmd
1. type in cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools atleast if you have it there
go into hboot, press fastboot and connect your phone to your pc, it should say fastboot usb. then enter fastboot enable etc..(this enables the sd card read ability) after that go to the link i gave you, flash the update.zip and ur usb brick is gone,
easy as that
this sounds too simple and i still am having problems, do i not need a gold card?
Command prompt and typing in the commands you say, i continue to get an error message saying deice not found, seriously, i bet i am doing one thing wrong.. that's too simple to notice?!?!
i've never heard that you need a goldcard for a usb brick, it may sound dumb but have you installed htc sync? if so uninstall it and i you haven't install and uninstall for the drivers, usually a usb brick is solved in 4-5min, so maybe you missed out something, because when i had my first usb-brick i entered adb shell-.- you just have to type the command in once
just tried same on my notebook, no htc sync installed , Still Says error : device not found. am guessing i am pretty much screwed.
not got my hopes up too high just yet, but i think it's actually looking up a bit now, conected to phone, typed in the commands given, it can read sd card, installed update.zip. now i dunno if i should go back to backup, or try install everything again,
Thanks so much guys
Hi,
Today I backed up my mobile ( using amon ra ), partitioned new SD card and placed backup back. All succesful, then my phone got a boot animation loop. Got battery out and tried to flash the ROM again ( insertcoin stable ). Then It can't read my SD card anymore! The error was: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
I can't flash a ROM anymore, but I wiped my phone after that for trying to flash, didn't work. Now my phone is turned on. It boots with a grey black android logo, and then I get parts of insertcoin. I'm missing a lot of apps and apk's, ( for example the settings and the lockscreen ). So I'm missing a lot.
I can't power my phone when it's on, only when it's off. So please help me!
And explain it as easy as possible.
Search the forums USB Brick -
it will contain the command:
fastboot enableqxdm 0

if you can get to fastboot, you can use: fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
And that's it?
Just turn phone on ( volume down + power ), then power button for fastboot.
Plug it into PC, start adb and then that command?
And then my phone can read USB again?
Edit: SD again?
Edit2: I am in fastboot, but where to put the command?
first cd and then the android-sdk tools folder? ( ADB is not in there, that is in platform-tools )
So what to do?
Phone must say: FASTBOOT USB
You have to put this where your fastboot is located, not the adb (but i have them in one place )
I think it worked, I've done it using the fastboot thing.
Now flashing Insertcoin again Hope it works!!
Ok, got my SD working again, with Insertcoin. But it recognize the computer or anything very late! When connected to the computer or power, it takes a few minutes before it recognize it, the computer even doen't ask for diskdrive or something like that, it only powers... What to do?
Edit: Do I need to do these options too? http://android.modaco.com/topic/309939-usb-brickrickrolledb0rked-fixed/ numbers 3,4,5 and 6?
Bump... Please help, I need my phone tomorrow and I can't miss it.

Yes you need to flash something as well, and the instructions there may work as a quick fix, but for me if the wrong image is flashed things like bluetooth don't work and other quirks are introduced.
I had to to generate a CID image specific to your variant of the Desire from this site: http://ks25738.kimsufi.com/misc/
The Rom version is irrelevant I think so enter the example on the site.
For "cid", input the following into the terminal (Mac? and Linux):
Code:
fastboot oem boot | grep #INFOCID
You should get a line like:
Code:
#INFOCID is HTC__E11
Which means you enter "HTC__E11" as the CID.
I you're on Windows (why?) or the above doesn't work, forget the pipe (|) and everything that follows and look for "#INFOCID" in the output which should be several lines long.
Put the generated mtd0.img file in the same directory as fastboot (or anywhere if you think you can handle the paths properly) and enter:
Code:
fastboot flash misc mtd0.img
Obviously you need to be in Fastboot USB mode in the bootloader for any of this to work.
For some probably unrelated reason, USB file transfers still don't work for me so I forced to use the Samba Filesharing app from the market.
I got the info from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
Ok, where can I find the Rom version? And please give the flash of that file in more steps, I don't understand it.
Bump, I really need my phone in a few hours! Please help!
Ok, I'm further.
I have now a few problems with: 3. Get flash_image from the attached files below
Move this to /data/ , and flash the modified image using:
"/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img"
You can move both mtd0.img and flash_image by putting it on your sdcard, and issueing the following command in a terminal emulator:
'cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image'
'cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img'
You might have to do 'chmod u+x /data/flash_image' before you run the commands (or chmod 755 /data/flash_image)
4. Repeat step 3 a couple of times if it doesn't seem to work well.
5. All done! Reboot, you should have normal usb connectivity. Post your 'fastboot oem boot' log and intermediate steps if it fails.
I made a mdt0.img using http://ks25738.kimsufi.com/misc/
My cid was HTC__E11
and ROM version 2.36.405.8 and it gave me a mdt0.img file
Now step 3, I don't know how to let it flash... I don't know what to do now with the file... Please help and give everything in simple steps

I read it, but a few questions...
( My phone is S-ON )
1. I'm not on a stock rom, but on Insertcoin
2. I can already acces my SD card, so can I skip the first step? Done that yesterday already.
3. Can I use the mtd0.img generator? If yes I have already the file.
4. With step 3, which files must be in /data/data?
5. With step 2, I have super user, so can I use that instead of the root acces thing?
SOLVED!! Thanks everyone!
I read a lot, and its succesful! Diskdrive, wall charching bluetooth EVERYTHING!!!
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it.
Hello All,
I am a newbie.
My Desire HD is not going beyond 'Quietly Brilliant' HTC logo. When I switch it on, it boots and stops there but does not go beyond it.
This problem started after I did the following for installing Cyanogen Mod.
Problem 1:
1. I followed the instructions in Cyanogen Mod for rooting.
2. First, I had to downgrade to Froyo as my phone was using GingerBread.
3. For downgrading, I followed the instructions given in Cyanogen mod site.
4. Everything went well - but the ADB Shell only displayed $ instead of # and the exploit given in above link did not work.
5. I managed to bring # prompt by following some other instructions from Xda-Developer forum.
6. After this, I once again followed the instructions in Cyanogen mod site to downgrade to froyo.
7. I was unable to push the PD98IMG.ZIP to SD card from ADB. So, I copied it via windows explorer and verified checksum to make sure.
8. Then I used ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER and clicked BOOTLOADER to load PD98IMG.ZIP.
9. This step did not work correctly - it gave CID incorrect! Update failed error. (Problem 2 describes this situation better.)
10. At this point, I tried to boot normally into the exsting GingerBread. Initially it worked.
11. After booting and displaying the home screen, it was slower than usual and was behaving in a odd manner.
12. Then, for some reason, I enabled WiFi. Then the phone kind of rebooted or went to the HTC Quitely Brilliant logo and stuck up there.
13. After this, I rebooted/shutdown my phone several times using ADB and tried to boot normally. It did not work.
14. Only once, when I tried FASTBOOT USB by removing battery it went up to my homescreen and then again went back to HTC Quitely Brilliant logo
15. I suspected something might be wrong with WiFi activation and tried to switch it off via ADB.
16. I used this 'adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings" command and got " Can't connect to activity manager; is the system running?" error.
So, I am unable to use the phone because of above issue.
Problem 2:
1. When I tried to use BOOTLOADER and tried to load PD98IMG.ZIP, I got "CID incorrect! Update failed error" .
2. I understood this might require a GoldCard (this is not mentioned in Cyanogen Mod instructions).
3. I googled and downloaded this GoldCardTool.exe and tried with it to create GoldCard.
4. At this time, I was able to access my phone's SD card via Windows Explorer and it was visible in GoldCard tool also.
5. I followed the instructions for creating GoldCard using GoldCard tool but this did not work.
6. I still get the "CID incorrect! Update failed error" .
7. I chatted with some folks in IRC chat and was advised to remove HTC Sync and install other drivers.
8. I removed HTC Sync and installed the Google USB driver. Nothing changed but I lost my access to SD card from windows explorer.
9. I re-installed HTC Sync. Still, I am unable to access my SD card via windows explorer.
10. Also, ADB PUSH to sdcard never worked. It gives Read-Only filesystem error.
So, in short I am neither able to boot my phone in existing GingerBread nor am I able to downgrade it to Froyo. I am stuck with a useless phone.
Other tools I tried : SuperOneClick to Root the phone. Did not work.
Things that are working:
1. ADB commands and Shell commands.
2. Able to do FASTBOOT USB or ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER etc.
3. Able to transfer files to SD card using Card Reader.
Things that are NOT working
1. Phone stuck up after 'Quietly Brilliant' logo.
2. Unable to Downgrade or ROOT.
3. Cannot push files to SD while it is inside phone.
4. Cannot start any acitivity on phone via ADB
I just want to install a custom rom or go back to Gingerbread. Could someone please advise?
Thanks in advance for reading patiently the above story.

When I execute ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER or use that Vol -,Power button combo, it goes to the FASTBOOT or FASTBOOT USB mode and displays options like BOOTLOADER, REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER nad POWER DOWN. It also shows HBOOT version as "HBOOT-2.00.0027".So, I guess HBOOT is working...is this correct?
Really good explanation of your problem

yes...if bootloader wasn´t working your phone would used as a paperweight...How long does it take to get into hboot? Just to know if your bootloader is messed or not..

If I use ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER, it goes to this FASTBOOT screen within 2 secs. If I use Vol/Power button it takes around 2 secs to go the main HBOOT screen in which the first option is FASTBOOT followed by RECOVERY and so on till IMAGE CRC. So, please tell your diagnosis...
Your this close to haveing a bricked phone

Ok, that is a good sign. No messed bootloader. Is your phone S-ON or S-OFF? Check that in the hboot screen (top left corner)

AAHK is great! I was able to solve both problems.
Used the Ubuntu Live CD installation and used the hack kit from that.
Phone no longer hanging at 'Quietly Brilliant'. Using MIUI ICS rom now :victory:

Which ROMs? Some phones need to update ADSP firmware for newer kernels. Can you get into recovery?

Yes I can get in to recovery by typing adb reboot recovery. until then the screen remains still in boot animation(boot animation gets completed, by completion of animation end screen remains as it is.) ROMs are NEOne V1.0, and two more ROMS did hang there exactly. Just feel little nervous to further flash custom ROMS from being bricked.

Hello All,
I am a newbie.
My Desire HD is not going beyond 'Quietly Brilliant' HTC logo. When I switch it on, it boots and stops there but does not go beyond it.
This problem started after I did the following for installing Cyanogen Mod.
Problem 1:
1. I followed the instructions in Cyanogen Mod for rooting.
2. First, I had to downgrade to Froyo as my phone was using GingerBread.
3. For downgrading, I followed the instructions given in Cyanogen mod site.
4. Everything went well - but the ADB Shell only displayed $ instead of # and the exploit given in above link did not work.
5. I managed to bring # prompt by following some other instructions from Xda-Developer forum.
6. After this, I once again followed the instructions in Cyanogen mod site to downgrade to froyo.
7. I was unable to push the PD98IMG.ZIP to SD card from ADB. So, I copied it via windows explorer and verified checksum to make sure.
8. Then I used ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER and clicked BOOTLOADER to load PD98IMG.ZIP.
9. This step did not work correctly - it gave CID incorrect! Update failed error. (Problem 2 describes this situation better.)
10. At this point, I tried to boot normally into the exsting GingerBread. Initially it worked.
11. After booting and displaying the home screen, it was slower than usual and was behaving in a odd manner.
12. Then, for some reason, I enabled WiFi. Then the phone kind of rebooted or went to the HTC Quitely Brilliant logo and stuck up there.
13. After this, I rebooted/shutdown my phone several times using ADB and tried to boot normally. It did not work.
14. Only once, when I tried FASTBOOT USB by removing battery it went up to my homescreen and then again went back to HTC Quitely Brilliant logo
15. I suspected something might be wrong with WiFi activation and tried to switch it off via ADB.
16. I used this 'adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings" command and got " Can't connect to activity manager; is the system running?" error.
So, I am unable to use the phone because of above issue.
Problem 2:
1. When I tried to use BOOTLOADER and tried to load PD98IMG.ZIP, I got "CID incorrect! Update failed error" .
2. I understood this might require a GoldCard (this is not mentioned in Cyanogen Mod instructions).
3. I googled and downloaded this GoldCardTool.exe and tried with it to create GoldCard.
4. At this time, I was able to access my phone's SD card via Windows Explorer and it was visible in GoldCard tool also.
5. I followed the instructions for creating GoldCard using GoldCard tool but this did not work.
6. I still get the "CID incorrect! Update failed error" .
7. I chatted with some folks in IRC chat and was advised to remove HTC Sync and install other drivers.
8. I removed HTC Sync and installed the Google USB driver. Nothing changed but I lost my access to SD card from windows explorer.
9. I re-installed HTC Sync. Still, I am unable to access my SD card via windows explorer.
10. Also, ADB PUSH to sdcard never worked. It gives Read-Only filesystem error.
So, in short I am neither able to boot my phone in existing GingerBread nor am I able to downgrade it to Froyo. I am stuck with a useless phone.
Other tools I tried : SuperOneClick to Root the phone. Did not work.
Things that are working:
1. ADB commands and Shell commands.
2. Able to do FASTBOOT USB or ADB REBOOT BOOTLOADER etc.
3. Able to transfer files to SD card using Card Reader.
Things that are NOT working
1. Phone stuck up after 'Quietly Brilliant' logo.
2. Unable to Downgrade or ROOT.
3. Cannot push files to SD while it is inside phone.
4. Cannot start any acitivity on phone via ADB
I just want to install a custom rom or go back to Gingerbread. Could someone please advise?
Thanks in advance for reading patiently the above story.

Please read my older posts. I have already mentioned that my problem is solved by using AAHK.

Not sure what is your issue. For me simply using the Hack Kit for degrading(for rooting purpose) solved the hanging problem. The degrading was initially unsuccessful but the hanging problem was solved.
I have since then rooted and so far intstalled MIUI 2.8.3/2.8.10/ 2.8.24, CM 7.2, Blackout ICS and Android revolution 6.3.3. I did not face this issue wiht any of these roms. I use this 4xt recovery and I understand that it is good to do a `Full Wipe`before installing any custom rom. In 4ext recovery ..for full wipe...I do Wipe/Factory reset, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache. After this, I install custom rom. I think you might be already aware of these things
Hey guys,
So the problem I'm experiencing is that my HTC One X is stuck in a boot loop after I applied an update to CyanogenMod 10.2 Stable that I saw in the settings menu. Dumb mistake.
I've tried reading up on the issue but I'm posting here because I want to make sure I don't brick the phone. I bought the phone second hand, already rooted and flashed, so my knowledge on this stuff is extremely limited.
So here's some info:
1. I can access a boot menu when I hold the power and volume down button.
2. From there I can access ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.0
3. I've tried restoring the phone
4. I found and applied the 2 zips that are already in the sd card. The old one: CM 10.1 and CM 10.2. - Both of them get stuck in boot.
5. I've downloaded Fastboot and ADB to my computer.
6. I tried to follow the instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2617301. Fastboot can't find my device (fastboot getvar cid -> waiting for device). I should mention that I mounted /sdcard and also tried mounting 'USB storage' but that didn't seem to do anything.
I also found this thread that might be of help once I get the computer to see my phone: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...01-to-102-if-you-get-stuck-at-boot-animation/

Download htc sync it will install the drivers required ,then you're good to go
When you install drivers..Go to recovery wipe everything except battery stats and storage..Then flash cm10.2 zip and then gapps..Then flash boot.img and erase cache..

Ok, I'm back from trying that. On my old PC laptop the software just failed to install. I'm trying again... takes forever to install.
I also downloaded it for my Mac, that worked fine but it doesn't actually find the phone when connected.
EDIT: POS computers... The Windows one throws up a weird error, no explanation, just a bunch of numbers. The Mac one is just incompetent...
What windows do you have?? 7,8.1 install drivers automatically..

The PC is running Windows 7... but neither of my computers recognize the phone (or mount the storage) through the USB.
I'm f*cked I think.
EDIT: Yep, I got the HTC sync to install finally on the Windows PC. And as I suspected, it doesn't recognize my phone.
So I guess my problem now is that the phone doesn't actually mount. I've never connected it to a computer before so I don't know if this is a new problem or not.
I've tried 2 computers and 2 different cables. I guess the phone is essentially bricked now? So much for "stable" update...
