Possible fix for USB bricked handsets [Doesn't work] - Desire General

I was just on the development forum.
Check out the rom thread by marsdroid.
If anyone has a bricked device can you test the fix please and let us know if it works.
Thanks go to marsdroid.
I'm looking forward to trying one of these once the USB bricking is sorted. I'm too scared to root my new phone after the last disaster
Thanks in

i can help you m8
u make a goldcard . unzipp testruu.exe from paul and take the rom.zip
rename it pb99img.zip and put it on your gold sdcard in the root...
then power down desire hold vol down ... and press power ...then it enter hboot
then it will load up the stock rom pb99img.zip.. then you can re root it after that .. start all over WITH usb

Doesn't work. Phone will still be USB bricked.

Forgive the noobish question, but how severe is the USB brickage? Does it affect recovery too?
Also, is it currently not possible to root without USB bricking the desire?

If you brick your device you will lose USB, Blutooth, and FM radio. This means that you will no longer be able to get to recovery, as this requires USB to work.
It is possible to root without bricking the device, many have done it! The fault seems to be random, so you may or may not get it!

HELP to flash through SD card (BlueAngel)

Can anyone show how to flash through SD card my Blue Angel please...from wm03 to wm06? I was searching on wiki but there says nothignn about SD CARD... Can anyone simply show me how to do that? Which ROM to install and that stuff... MANY THANKS
never heard before flashing BA from SD,
Sorry...
i dont have cabel for connecting with PC :-(... and here i Serbia i cant buy a new one so i will never install WM06 :-(... Any HELP
At this point, your only options are:
find a cable if you want to flash the phone
send it to someone who has a cable so they can flash it for you and send it back
Hard reset
In case you have a preproduction HERMES and you can not update the ROM (due to the fact that your bootloader is <1.04) here the very easy solution:
***info removed, wrong device or mis-informed***
This also works for normal (non preproduction) devices but keep in mind that if the CID does not match the flashing might not work.

[HELP] Flashed GSM Diamond with CDMA ROM

please help me restore my diamond (DIAM100), i flashed it with a CDMA ROM and it hangs at the black "Touch DIAMOND" logo screen. I can enter bootloader, what can i do? Please
If it goes to bootloader, just connect with usb cable and flash with a GSM rom while in bootloader

it works just like that??? or i need a different Diamond custom ruu..? or another flash tool.. i will try this in the evening because now i can't, but i want to be documented when i begin
as tonio94 says, if you can manage to get in to the tri-colored bootloader all you need to do is to flash with a rom that supports your phone... did you remember to hard-spl you phone before all this "mess" or?...

No other tools are required. Just put your device into booloader and connect with pc. The bottom of the screen should read USB. At this stage just follow the instructions that you would normal follow when executing the RUU_exe.
I'm sure you have already done this before but here is a guide ....http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=4

10x allot for your positive feedback, i now how it's done, just i could not believe it is so simple, i thought i bricked my phone, i will try it this evening when i get home.
thank you again
Problem solved, worked to flash like a charm.
thank's
This thread can be closed.
@skero666: i never recalled you as a noob.. i was just trying to give you an easy answer, sorry if i wasn't clear enough.. (^^,) .. and yeah, if you ever manage to get to tri-color bootload then you'll allways be safe... you'll never brick it unless you never manage to get to bootload .. lol

From what I have read there is currently not a method to root this update. Be patient though.
dam
ok TY
but i need the tethering... do you think if i erase it to original factory default i can unrevoked it againg
I haven't seen any evidence that it is possible to flash back to the original stock rom.
But please let us know if it works.

Try booting without the sd card.
How old is the phone? What happened / did you do (if such is the case) for it to get like that? Etc.....

Tried that before without result...also did a factory reset but to no avail. Phone was just over a year old when it happened, got it from my insurance policy so it's possibly a refurbished one. I can't remember doing anything to cause this...

Ok, enable USB debugging, plug the phone to the PC and then open a CMD ON the PC and type adb reboot-bootloader and once in bootloader type fastboot getvar all. You Need to post the INFOcidnum and INFOmain
How old is your phone? Isn't there still any warranty? If so you may try to contact your reseller, service provider or the manufacturer. If not glevitan may be your hero

Yes, from fastboot, plug the phone (You will see fastboot USB in red) type: fastboot getvar all
sounds like a boot loop?
try removing the battery, once you have done that re boot into boot loader from there you should see an option for recovery.you may want to do a full wipe and re flash the rom.:silly: keep in mind the initial flash normally will take the longest,best to leave it be for a few minutes while the phone adjust to the new settings,that sometimes will seem like you may have an issue, but patience most times is all that is needed.hope this helps.

rooted phone=flash capable non rooted =stock rom with no admin access. am i mistaken,if so slap me and call me susan,if not box that thing up and bring it back,and if that's not an option then warranty time.because that device is chap.

Well....
1- over a year old bought refurbished.
2- he never rooted. We could assume that it is s-off from the previous owner but all of us failed to ask that question making another assumption that he isn't s-off.
3- he did a factory reset which didn't work (whatever that means with an s-on device / with an s-off device it really messes things up).
4- glevitan is here. If he doesn't know how to fix it (and from the few active members that tend to lend a hand in these type of posts) there may be just a handful who could help out. Hence, the OP is in good hands.
5- when someone messes up their phone without knowing what happened nor how to fix it, you need to give more detailed instructions on how to get it done.
6- I'm guessing that the info glevitan asked for is to find the correct ruu for the member to flash and to get his phone back to working conditions. If that doesn't work, chances are it's a hardware problem.

Bullet point,impressive. now a refurb with s off would mean a root from a previous owner?
"S-ON, which means it blocks you from flashing radio images — the code that manages your data, Wi-Fi and GPS connections. Switching your phone to S-OFF lets you flash new radios. Rooting doesn’t require S-OFF, but many rooting tools will give you S-OFF in addition to root access" So hince my question if attempting to flash a rom ,it would be a safe bet he would be rooted,because without it he would have no admin access,recovery or superser access and would not be able to complete the flash process.a factory reset would normally on a stock rom not result in a loss of the entire stock rom but only a loss off data i.e contacts apps etc. and with these things in mind it would seem to be a safe to assume its a hardware issue or a rooted refurb phone from a previous owner in a bootloop becauce a factory reset there would wipe everything?

Factory reset resets the phone to it's "as fabricated"-condition, wich means it wipes user data and cache on the phone. With or without root the procedure is the same and should usally not affect /system or /boot.
So we have to find out, if the phone is S-On/S-Off (phosphen, more information on the topic can be read for example here, second post).

Sorry guys, but before hijacking this thread maybe you can go and follow the discussion in the off topic thread. The idea here is to lend a hand to someone that is stuck and a noob and this for certain not helping him. Let's keep it clean....
BTW, the only solution in his case is to flash the OEM RUU or make a goldcard and flash an unbranded rom. With no s-off there´s no other way.

Maybe it's good practice for him to read through all to learn to discern right info from wrong.

Yeah.
I can recall also reading something some time ago about making your SD Card(External) the bootable one and then fixing the "internal" from there but I'm not sure if that will even work either, was for another device as well.
I don't think a lot of developers/"hackers" on here sat down trying to figure out solutions to a problem that isn't so frequent on this device. I mean, who would flash a LG "anything" on an HTC...
Just wondered if it might work out seeing as it at least "detects" that much from the phone. It's a type of Qualcomm recovery mode isn't it, QHUSB-etc etc
Figured that maybe it is in a "semi" on condition already, it's just that you can't do anything with it. But if it's completely broke then might as well take it into service center for repair. Don't know what you're gonna tell them though @escoda
Yep. From what i know on the htc one x, once you turn off the phone completely (no hibernation mode) and you plug it in the pc it goes automatically to a adb hibernation mode. That's why its in the device manager. So it reads the device but can't respond correctly. But to get a step ahead it's very necessary to turn the device on.
@escoda its not completely bricked yet. Just go to ubuntu and follow the guide mentioned from Brendm14. Like he also said you only need to download then those files for the htc one m8. Most qualcomm devices have everything on the same partition but you could probably examine or the bootloader and the other required stuff are the same partition number as in the guide. If so then you still just need to download the htc files and do it the same.
I dont know where you can get the htc files since I am/was an LG user.

Those files are present on any firmware.zip for the appropriate phone model.
Flashing just a wrong kernel would not do that. Something must have happened that messed with the bootloader.
