(SOLVED) Just another USB brick...

(SOLVED) Just another USB brick... - Desire General

I ****ed up my phone somehow and I don't know how to fix it. I was going to install a new Rom, was wiping data and went to partition my SD card to try A2SD. I couldn't do it in clockwork recovery so I thought I'll connect the phone to my PC and run Paul's recovery from r5 rooting method. The problem was that somehow both recovery's were running and I'm not sure what I pressed but now my phone can't recognize the SD card, nor can the PC recognize the phone when I connect it. The Rom can boot up, but somehow it's not working properly, I can't make/receive calls but for example WiFi works. I guess its not bricked since Android launches but I have no idea how to fix what I messed up. Somebody please help me

Your device is usb bricked, search for usb brick in the development, this can be easily fixed.

Thanks, I found it, but I'm stuck at step 1: "Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card."
Where should I enter that command ? Thanks.
EDIT: I fixed it ! Thank you so much. I knew it will be easy to fix just I couldn't think clearly and forgot about the USB bricking issue

[Q] My Bricked HTC Desire

Hi Everyone,
I have serious problem with my Desire. I need help, I've gone thru the thread about bricked HTC Desire but my own problem seems unique in a way, below is the nature of the problem and what I've done so far:
Problem: My deisre can not boot beyond Fastboot and bootloader menu after power on. If i go to recovery, my phone could not see the SD card. My SD card can be accessed from my card reader on PC, but my phone could not see it (I have tried different cards( formatted), it is obvious the problem was not with the cards).
In fastboot mode, my laptop can connect to it via USB flawlessly, but could not get it boot.
I tried loading official RUU, no matter which version was downloaded, I'm always stuck at a stage with "error 131", something about customer ID
Is there any way to recover my desire?... with no SD recognised and unable to boot beyond bootloader with my PC?
Please I need a Pro to put me thru, maybe I'm not doing something right.
Thanks.

Theres a ROM on Modaco which u can probably flash..look for it in the guides to rooting the phone...and do make a gold card...through ADB and all that...

Go to THIS thread and have a look at how to restore SD card functionality.
Once fixed, load a rom on it and flash using your custom recovery.
This is the bit you need to get SD working again.
Also, SD card functionality has to work. For this, do 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode.

[Q] PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! i think i bricked my Evo

My Evo won't charge unless it is turned off. When the phone is on, the usb won't give me any mode option. Phone doesn't see the sdcard. PC won't see the phone. I have usb debugging checked. Device manager gives me three qualcomm CDMA Technologies and can't find drivers. Everything on the phone works except for apps using the sdcard. The phone says "SD Card removed" at the top left of the pulldown bar. With the vol down and power the phone will read the PC36IMG.zip of the sdcard and load and run it. After rebooting it still doesn't recognize the sdcard. I followed all steps in this previous thread:..............................................................................................................................................................................................................
These fixes require the Android SDK and very basic ADB knowledge. You can copy and paste for most.
Make sure in device manager the driver for fastboot is installed (Win 7 downloads them automatically)
For USB fix
Download the flash_image & mtd-eng.img attached, unzip them and put them on the SD card before starting
SD Card Fix
Press & hold vol down and power on the phone
Select fastboot by pressing the power button
ADB commands
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
That should fix your SD card not being detected........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
i get all the way to to Command Prompt and enter the correct dir where my ADB and Fastboot are, then i proceed to type fastboot oem enableqxdm 0. Then it says waiting for device. Help please! Im stuck.

Have you tried to flash back to stock rom?

hmm...argh!!
thanks for responding. I just finished to an unroot. My phone does boot up fine now and there is no more "sd card removed" error, but my phone still doesn't see my sd card. And it keeps on powering down and then vibrating 5 times, then the led indicator flashes green and i cant restart my phone without pulling the battery and replacing it. I have a card reader on my pc (im running vista). The pc reads it just fine. ???

Hmm, that is strange. So your pc reads the contents of the card just fine, and when you run a 'disk check' on the sd card, it turns up no errors? What were you doing on the phone when this first started, or was it out of the blue? So since your Evo doesn't see the sd card, then formatting it using the phone isn't an option I presume? What about formatting it using windows (fat32), then putting it in the phone, is that something you tried already?
As far as the phone vibrating 5 times and then you get the blinkng led, i believe that is the phone kicking itself into diagnostic mode. I'm not really clear as to what exactly that is, or why it would be happening, but I am sure that it is in diagnostic mode at that time. So you said you unrooted it, and you're currently on stock, s-off ROM right now? Do you still get the same error when you try the fix that you were initially trying to execute?

And i cant flash any ROM's due to the fact that my computer wont recognize my phone, therefore i cant access the ADB Shell. This is so frustrating!!!

i was in the process of flashing a rom and thats when the problems started. I haven't tried formatting the SD Card. I dont see how that would help me, because i can access the card and its contents just fine but my phone wont recognize there being an sd card in the phone. It seems to be a trifecta of evil!!! LOL 1.) PC doesn't see the phone 2.) Phone doesn't see sd card 3.) i can't flash anything because i can do nothing in the ADB Shell. I initially went the Unrevoked3 route of rooting and then i went the way of flashing the PC36IMG file that you put on the root of the sd card and then renaming it. The guy in this thread seemed to have the same exact issue and he figured it out. I dont know what im doing wrong.

well i thought i did an unroot but it still says SHIP S-on???

i am formatting the sd card now. what do i do once its done formatting? I've been at this for 22hours now and my brain is officially fried!!

Once you format it, before you put anything else on the card, I would put it back in the Evo, and see if it will recognize it, totally fresh from the format. If that still fails, then I'm out of ideas. I'm sorry, hopefully someone else can offer some advice if that still doesn't work. I would consider dropping by sprint for some service if you can't get it handled.
Is it still giving you the 5 vibrates? And also, if it says s-on, you are unrooted, Forgive my previous typo.

thanks. i'll let you know what it does after the format. hopefully this works. (fingers crossed)

Good luck dude. I hope that works for ya, I'll do another quick search and see what I come up with.
Also, did you try this again? After you unrooted? Same results as before, "waiting for device?"

okay i figured out the sd card issue. too bad i didnt see this thread before i formatted.
"alright, it is done. i was putting it in recovery mode for the sd card, and i should have just stopped at fastboot and not put it in recovery. thanks all of you. you knew what you were speaking about, i just didnt follow the instructions correctly" (posted by airauto)
now my phone recognizes my sd card. whew. one down. thanks for your help anyways.

got the sdcard to be seen by the Evo but now its still rebooting after about two minutes and then vibrates 5 times. ?????

Glad you got that figured out. Didn't you backup your sd card to your pc before you formatted? Just copy everything back over to the card.

Wish I could help you on that, but any thread I've ever seen where people were having that problem, where it vibrates 5 times then goes black and the led blinks, the only resolution I ever saw (and I could be wrong, I'd do a search on google about that, quite a bit of stuff on there) was replacing the phone. I'm not sure of the cause of that. If there is a fix for it, xda and google should have it somewhere though. (but I still think replacing is the option for you)

[Q] Possible USB bricked EVO but different

The closest problem I could find to what I was experiencing was that my phone was usb bricked. I had a GB Evo that I rooted using the Revolutionary method. After I had the phone rooted I installed Titanium Backup and updated the version of superuser through TB. The next time I rebooted the phone it would boot to the lock screen, freeze and then reboot. When I boot into recovery I am randomly able to access either the sdcard or the phone through the usb cable. I have performed a few of the fixes for usb bricked phones through fastboot (fastboot oem enableqxdm 0) these seem to be only a temporary fix as soon as I reboot the phone goes back to not being able to recognize the sdcard. If anyone could offer any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

[Q] LeeDrOiD V3.3.3-Port-R5 USB Issues.

Yes, this is one n00b 1st. post... but bare with me, as I (think) I have done all the right things.
The Issue:
I flashed the LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5 A2SD++ to a HTC Desire (Bravo, Root, S-off, Full Wipe).
It is fast and seems to work really well, but there is one major problem: The phone do not recognized USB connection.
I plug the AC charger in, and it takes 2-5 min for the phone to start charging, and the phone seems to think of it as USB charging, not AC...
Plucking the phone to the PC gives error form windows about "unknown USB device", and the phone newer seems to register the PC: It just go to USB charging, after 2-5 min.
The first flashing of the LeeDroid rom caused a USB Brick, that FastBoot "rebootRUU" and "enableqxdm 0" fixed.
Don't know if that have anything to say.
Yes, I guess n00b problem, and I guess all is explained 117 times.
But please... point me to the right threads.

You have what's known as a USB brick. Basically, you had two problems. Your first was that your phone did not recognise that there was an SD card inserted, you have now fixed that. Unfortunately however you do now have a USB brick, which gives exactly the problems you describe. Do some searching on the forum, there's several threads explaining how to fix this.

try this thread

Thanks a bunch!
I vent to that same thread earlier, when the SD card did not work, but did not find a fix fore it there.
It is all starting to make sense now.
I'l try flowing the guide and, and see if I can make it on my own again.
Thanks Again.

Both SD and USB Un-Bricked now.
Happy Happy!
Thanks.

I've been there and done it. I had EXACTLY the same issues as yourself and on fixing the SD card issue I thought brilliant, "I am legend".... It was only after trying to connect the phone to the PC that I discovered I was not. I was only half way to fixing my problems. I did however make a text file detailing what I did in case it ever happened again and here it is (you will need an image file however which can be got from the thread linked above) :-
============================================
To gain access to SD card:
Put phone into fastboot mode (back button + power)
In CMD, go to dir C:\Android\android-sdk\Tools
Type: path C:\Android\android-sdk\Platform-tools)
Input "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
Before trying the stuff below, try to run this command first - fastboot oem eraseconfig
I had already done the below which didn't work then running that it suddenly did work so try it first, if no joy do the below and if still no joy then try the command again.
ALSO FOUND THIS TO TRY -
So I download the HTC hboot stock partition, flashing through fastboot command, and do 'fastboot flash misc mtd0.img' reboot... and ta...da ... my USB connection fix, Bluetooth is working too, testing with some other rom, and all fine ...
AND -
1.download recovery *.img file.
2.put it in androidsdk\tools folder.
3.boot in to fastboot by pressing back button and power button together.
4.run :-
fastboot flash recovery *.img
===================================================
EDIT: Ah you fixed it whilst I was replying (was on a phone call). Nice one fella.

[Q] Rooted Desire Hd help please

Hi had all different roms on my DHD and settled on Ice cold sandwich which it has been running for a few months now, earlier on today I noticed that it had gone off and only the backlight was on, So I restarted it and it started loading the screen up but then just went into a loop.
So i pulled the battery and went into recovery and reloaded the ICS rom, but know it just vibrates 5 times and shows the splash screen and goes off with just the backlight on again.
I can get into fastboot but when i press the button for recovery it does the same I've tried every pd98img I could find and it says wrong image after I try and load them.
And when I connect it to the pc it can't be recognised by htcsync or thru any adb commands, and windows tried to load a driver called Q_USB-DLOAD or something similar then loads a qualcom usb driver but adb commands still won't recognise it, been looking all bnight for an answer getting desperate.
Thanx in advance Michael

1. Remove your sd card and try to boot up again if it boots up then there might be something corrupted on your sd. (Possible sd may have gone bad)
2. Try to enter hboot with power button and volume down at same time to see if you can get into hboot. If it dont your boot img may be damaged and you may need to push it again thru ADB.
3. If you can get into recovery try full wipe and reflashing rom. (You may have to use an adapter to get rom on to sd since computer dont see phone then place sd back in phone)
These are just a few ideas you can try hope it helps.
EDIT: Also there is no need to create a double post of the same issue. This is what causes clutter among the forum. When you post a question you need to wait for an answer not ask again when there is no reply on your first post. Thank you
