have been hesitant to post this but ive been at this for 3 hours no and got nowhere.
Right, my USB has decided to brick itself while installing the deFrost rom. Now, im aware there is now a method to fix USB bricks but the problem with mine is that this rom has killed sdcard aswell.
Ive tried wget to get the files onto /data but i keep getting a "bad address" error.
Any ideas?
have you tried the command:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
to re-enable the sd card?
dude, legend!
haha cheers.

I been flashing a few roms today, then all of a sudden when i plug the phone into usb my laptop is asking to install Qualcomm CDMA drivers...
Now i did a look at the USB bricked threads, and i FM Radio doesnt work (but i cant say it worked before as i never used it) and usb obviously doesnt work.
IF it is a brick, how do i fix? the threads i read before were some what confusing.
Oh im also running the 2.2 Sense ROM. Slightly edited by me which could have crapped things up.
Any help would be appreciated.
I recently USB bricked my Desire, took me days to get it sorted despite following the guides to the letter. Can you access your SD card?
I ended up solving my problem by using a Vista laptop, which recognised my phone and allowed me to run the 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' command in SDK. Don't know why I couldn't get it fixed by using the various other OS.

Just want to check, has this problem made me loose my root? because the guides say to root the phone....
EDIT
i do have root, just installed ES file manager and i can go into the system folder etc... well im guessin that means im rooted?
EDIT
im a moron, you can delete this thread if you want mods.
Hello,
I have tried attempted to root and flash a new ROM on my phone and now I seem to have lost SD and USB support. it does not recognize any of the SD cards i put it (doesn't realize theres an SD card inside) and does not recognize any USB plugged in.
I have HBOOT .80 and i THINK i got the root correct (lotsa problems along the way so i'm not sure), but i was able to flash a ROM (NexTSENSE) so i think it worked. now, i saw a thread about fixing USB support but that required SD support. and reading that made me feel like i was royally screwed. in any case, any suggestions? I think USB support is still kinda there since I can get it to recognize it in the boot menu. but when i try to do it in recovery and use the flash rom .bat, it says device not found.
it would seem that the main concern right now is that i can't get it to see my SD cards. any of them, even after reformats and whatnot.
i can't connect to HTC Sync or anything of the of the sort. usually when i charge the phone, you get the charging notification but i don't even get that now. sounds like a driver problem but i can't see what is wrong. my computer doesn't even recognize the phone as a device every now and then
Hope i provided sufficient information. New to android scene so don't be too hard on me please =O but yea, any suggestions are welcome. thanks in advance
edit: usb support... ever so slightly back. aka, it charges now. probably was drivers on my lappy getting funny after moving between bootloader and recovery and all that fun stuff
You have the usb brick issue. Check out the thread on that. Also once you are up and running again, root using unrevoked or the fake flash method. All information is available in the dev forum.
ok, i've done some reading and this is what i've found so far. my phone is stuck in USB debug hence no USB support and somewhere along the way, SD support was disabled. from what i see, the fix is to
first:
reload the step1 of root to get back to 1.15 and basic root access.
second:
from there, i can re-enable SD support using the command:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
third:
apply USB-Brick fix found in post 1 of thread
and then i should be able to reload ROMs as usual. is this correct?
and where exactly do i put in the command to re-enable SD support? this is what has be confused right now. along with the commands for the USB fix
i am using the tinycore method so i just have the step1.sh. and then in the same console, can i enter that command? should i do it after a reboot? or load back into bootloader to do it. (bootloader or fastloader)
OOOOK. sorry about the continuous posts. putting new info up so it isn't exactly a bump right?
in any case, i used the androidSDK tools and ran the fastboot from there and i think i re-enabled my SD correctly. i was then able to run the USB-brick fix found on modaco forums. all done and done. nowww, since i just went through half the root process (step1.sh with tinycore), do i need to finish it? or since i had already rooted before, is it all done now?
I'm not 100% sure about that as I haven't had to fix the usb brick for ages now!
Download and install titanium backup from the market. If it works fine, then you are rooted. If not, root woth unrEVOked or fakeflash.
All the older root methods that require usb during the root process leave you open to the usb brick again.
Hi fatpandas..
Is your phone ok now? Actually my phone also have a problem like yours last week..until now,i can't fix it..if now your phone ok,can u share with me..thnks in advance..
@csyrix
sorry to hear about your situation. after just being there, i can tell how horrible it is. good news is, if you really have the same problem, then it is definitely fixable.
now, i don't know what method you used to flash yours the first time but from what i've seen, they're mostly the same. what you wanna do first is do that step1 thing where you have a temporary ROM installed. (1.15?) same process as usual.
then you'll need to run 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' with phone plugged in while in FASTBOOT (back button + power button thing)
in case you don't know where to put that in, you wanna run that in your command prompt (computer) while operating in the tools folder of the android SDK. (thank god for my limited computer knowledge cuz all the instructions i found just say, "run this command" and like hell if most know how/where)
in any case, the end result will be you having completed step1 and having re-enabled SD support. then turn off phone.
then get the fix from this thread
move that to your SD card (micro SD adapter) and turn back on your phone into bootloader. go to the recovery menu and hold volume up + power to bring up menu and hit the apply: update.zip.
then all should be well. i then moved on to step2 to make sure i had rooted properly. may not be necessary but i remember reading that rooting a rooted device isn't a problem so i just felt the need to do it to be safe.
that should be it. the link provided actually has all the instructions anyways (i hope mine are a bit more clear), but if not, that link should be able to fill in the holes. g'luck sir
A remarkable problem to be solved. I run oxygen 1.04, s-off, n1 table. No SD partition, just all fat32. Then I decided to do a stupid thing wich was to change launcher by uninnstalling via titanium backup, and then install launcher pro via market. When reboot the device couldnt read the sdcard, wich i solved by using fastboot command "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" and then "fastboot reboot-bootloader." I then got access to sdcard via recovery (amonra2.0). I Managed to do a restore of previous backup.. But then i got the problem of the device not being recognized in windows (7, 64). It worked via bootloader strange enough.. Thought it was a problem thanks to my mess ups, and decided to unroot and restore factory settings, wich i did by flashing PB99IMG through sdcard.. Are back on scratch, but no usb functionality.. Unrecogniced by windows still.. Are charging though. At some point it asked for Quallcom CMDA (I have AMOLED if that has anything to do with it) usb drivers something, installed Windows Mobile Device Center, no luck... Is this a hardware malfunction? USB brick? Ive searched everything without luck.. Would really appreciate help here, if not im sending it in on garantuee basis.
That's an usb-brick. You can find everything about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639.
Good luck.
Well. I need to be rootet to use this guide, but I aint.. Got hboot 093.001.. Searching for ways to downgrade via fastboot, or some other way since the phone is not detected via regular USB. Anybody got som tricks up their sleave?
If not this works.. Will the folks repairing this phone be able to see it has been tinkered with? I mean since its unrooted?
Evening everyone
Got a BIG problem with my phone today and having searched and read i still cant fix it
Ok a little about my phone: Rooted with amon recovery, recently s/off, CyanogenMod 7 rom and kernel, -32 radio..
Right here is the problem...
Did a nandroid backup in recovery of the rom i was using ^^ and all seemed fine, i then rebooted my phone,, booted up, waited for everything to work and then i noticed my apps weren't there?
Went into storage and it showed no memory card,, so i rebooted phone hoping this might fix but it didn't.
Plugged my phone into laptop and a message flashed up "usb device not recongnised" i though Sh!t whats happened ?
So i booted my phone into recovery to mount the sd and a message again "error cant mount sd"
Clicked reboot phone and now its stuck on the "why so serious" screen ???????
Ive dloaded the sdk tool but really not sure what i should be typing in there ??
Anyone with a little time care to help me out please lol ???
Cheers
EDIT: I have flashed nearly every rom on xda since i rooted about 4 months ago without any problems, always did the wipes in recovery before flashing so really dont know what has happened here ?

Looks like you have been usb bricked, look this forum for usb brick fix, its not the fault of the rom, it just sometimes happens. Got it once too, easely to fix.
Sent from my HTC Desire
Im not blaming the rom not one bit as its been running fine this morning up untill i did the backup.
I have read and read that much my heads spinning %-( there's hek of a lot to take in and being a rather noooooob im lost as to what i should do
Worstenbrood is right, that's.just a USB brick, don't worry, it's an easy fix. Search Modaco for USB rickrolled.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
You can skip step one.
Not to worry ? im bricking it lmao
I really aint got a clue about the fastboot thingy if you have a little time could you give me a step by step of how its done
cheers
Download the SDK and then use the command prompt to run the fastboot command from the Modaco tutorial.
There are quite a few guides for fastboot, just Google it
Hi
I just ran the command and when entered it said fastboot not found?
You need to run it from the directory containing fastboot.executive (in the SDK).
thanks for the replies
i have tried that but im getting 'adbwinapi.dll is missing from your computer'
i have re-installed sdk and still wont work?
Did you do this
Windows XP / Vista
Right click on the My Computer icon and select the properties tab.
Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
In the new dialog box dowble-click on Path (located under System Variables) and type in the full path location to the tools directory.
Has to be done for it to work
If you have never used sdk before Google for a good install & how to use guide
whooohoooo right solved the sd problem, new rom flashed and powered up Many Thanks guys "but" i still cant use the usb on laptop ?
When i plug usb in it the phone only charges ? and an usb not recognised message ?
did u install the htc drivers from the htc website? i was having problems with connecting my phone dowloaded those and un-installed sync and all was fixed!
i get 'usb not recognised message' every now and then on my home pc and the works pc both running Windows 7 64bit.
I found that usually when it pops up about
'usb not recognised message'
i just unplug the cable then back in a few seconds after the message then it usually connects ok. sometimes it takes a few attempts.
thats with 'HTC Wildfire_setup_3.0.5481' installed for the 64bit drivers.
Thanks very much guys for all your help managed to get the usb fixed by installing htc sync
But now i have another problem i noticed today is Bluetooth wont turn on ? is there a fix out there for this ?
cheers
Im experiencing strange reboots now with phone plugged into laptop via usb, and on the status bar on phone it show usb debugging and then dissapears and comes back and when i unplug usb the phone reboots?
I wiped the laptop yesterday and phone seemed fine and now the troubles have come back
In logcat error im also getting this message when i enable bluetooth
attempting to remove unknown iface (usb0), ignoring
bt_enable: Timeout waiting for HCI device to come up
Seems as if the brick has actually fooked my phone up good and proper !
Hi chaps, I've done a lot of searching but unlike many who managed to fix theirs I fear that my Desire is dead. Did a nandroid backup and during reboot for one reason or another (likely the cheap Ebay battery) the phone rebooted a couple of times and I suspect it's corrupted the ext4 that was holding data. Phone was running Starburst 1.5 Classic with data2sd. It's also s-off.
Ok, I've read threads where people have plugged it in and using adb have managed to issue a command to have the phone re-enable the sd card. The issue I have is that adb doesn't even recognise that the phone is actually connected. I've tried this on both my PC and laptop with no joy.
I can still get into recovery and also fastboot and there must be some life as the phone recognises the USB connection when plugged into the PC but 'adb devices' gives me nothing so I therefore can't issue commands.
I have also tried putting the original firmware back on via PB99IMG.zip but since the phone's not reading the card at all that too is a dead end. It still boots to recovery and I get the 'Why so serious' logo if I try starting the phone up but I just can't get any further with it.
Anyone any ideas?
You can wipe and flash partitions and files from fastboot
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
Once you get it working, restore your nandroid to see if it's working and not corrupted by the reboot. If it's not working, you can rebuild in fastboot!
Ok, I'm doing some more reading and learning, driving me nuts this thing. Cheers.
Edit: That won't work as I cannot gain access to the phone from the PC. adb devices show nothing connected even when it clearly is.
Edit 2: C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Perhaps I'm missing something???
Sorted I think, was me being a n00b. Will post back if I manage to get it all running again.
Did you get fastboot to work and recognise your device?
Take a look at the thread I posted earlier, the command to check it is
Code:
fastboot devices
