My phone is broken > Need your help - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I recently tried to install a ROM on my HTC Desire.
Everything was OK (Root + Radio + Rom Froyo 1.0) then I did some (really) stupid thing (don't ask why) such as wipe and format pretty much everything (data, cache, system, boot) from the recovery mode.
Anyway, here is the point :
- Modele : HBOOT0.80.0000
- My phone only reboot in Fastboot or Bootloader Mode
- I have access to the Recovery Mode
- I can't access to my SDcard (so I cannot upload any zip file on it and even though I can using anothetr device to read the SDcard, I cannot "mount" it so it is impossible to launch or flash a Rom file from the phone). > Sorry if that's not clear, I'm french, so.... pardon my french
- I don' have any backup
So, my question is: How can I restart from zero?
I mean, is there a way to reinstall everything like it was before and make my phone work?
Thank you for your help guys!

try to use unrevoked3 flash AdvancedRecovery and boot in recovery... then go to the partition menue and choose mount "storage" now you have acess to the sd card at the computer.
A **** my fault...unrevoked wants the device to be boot up..... hmmmm

Grab a stock ROM, rename to update.zip, drop on SD and pray to God that is can read it
failing that try a spare SD

@seti1337 > Well tried anyway
@DanTehManUK > A Stock ROM ? Is it RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe ?
So, should I rename the .exe in updat.zip ? (weired )
EDIT : I found : PB99IMG_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip, is that ok ?
Anyway, every time I try to access the SD from my phone (flash zip or mount SD etc.) I hace an error :
--> Error mounting SDCARD : !
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or/dev/block/mmcblk0p1)
(no such file or directory)

Hi. I had the same problem. I google and found this thread: android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/ This worked for me.

Thx, I'll try that.
Did you do the first step (r5 rooting guide) ? If yes, wich file did you download ? (I'm not sure to have a ROM installed now)
Also, should I do the Gold card too ?

Ok, id made it !
Everything is fine... or almost
Then I install the Root + Radio Rom + Froyo 1.0 > OK
Theb I tried to add a rom (to see the % in the batterie) from ROM Manager and now my Phone keep rebooting on the HTC Quietly brilliant screen .
I tried to wipe data / cache and sd-ext but it doesn't work.

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen

Hey, My phone was working fine till yesterday. N when i tried to flash dk froyo .i had to change the kernel and i guess the bootscreen(htc logo) freezed because of that. I tried flashing hcdr and other kernels and even changed rom back to cm 7.But nothing seems to help.Only cwm is working on my phone. CAn someone help me please
btw its a wildfire
Your best bet Is to try run a ruu as that would reset the phone back to stock, bootloader and kernal, but depending on how you s-offed you may lose the ability to root.( untill you s-off again.) Good luck
sent from my steroid powered, cyanogenmod filled wrecking machine! using xda app.
Perform a full wipe (In CWM, Select "Data Wipe / Factory Reset", then, staying in CWM, go to Mounts and Storage, Select "Format /system". After this, flash a ROM (any) and check if it boots.
Tried. Its still not working. Can any1 post a nandroid backup file of any rom for wildfire. Please. I formatted my sd card too by mistake.
and while flashing a ruu. it always shows a error E:Failure at line 65 and something. Its different everytime
Connect your Wildfire to your PC, In CWM, Go to Mounts and Storage, and Select "Mount USB Storage". This will activate Mass Storage Mode and you can access your SDCard on your PC as normal. (I don't think anyone would upload a Nandroid backup of his own, it contains personal stuff like contacts and all. But, if someone does, good for you)
i mount usb storage n then do wat..? i tried flashing every rom possible. But its still not working. Is it the kernel's problem or what??
I am pretty certain performing a full wipe (Following options in CWM - 1: Data Wipe - Factory Reset, along with 2: Wipe Cache Partition, 3: Format /cache, 4: Format /system, 5: Format /data, 6: Wipe cache partition, 7: Wipe Dalvik Cache) in CWM and flashing a fresh ROM will fix your issue, UNLESS your phone is not bricked due to bad flash, but since you already claim that you have done that, I can't help you any further on this.
EDIT - Also one more thing - When you flash the kernel / ROM, do you get a confirmation message "Installation Complete"? What is your CWM version?
Yes i do.it says installation comple and its v3.0.0.6
Sense ROM's like DK will not work on CWM versions above 2.x.x.x. Anyway, since you tried CM7 already, One last suggestion in that case would be to try flashing the RUU via the bootloader.
Steps -
1: Download the RUU you want to install
2: Extract the rom.zip from the RUU. Procedure here
3: Once you have that rom.zip, Rename it to PC49IMG.zip
4: Transfer this to the root of your SDCard (i.e. - Not in any folders / sub-folders)
5: Restart device in HBoot Mode (Press Vol Down + Power simultaneously)
6: It will scan for the file, and ask to install. Follow On-Screen instructions.
Ill give it a try.
owe you big time man..Thanx a lot..

[Q] I really need help now with HBoot

I used this tutorial to root my HTC Desire:
http://techspalace.blogspot.com/2011/10/perm-root-htc-desire-gingerbread-233.html
Then I was using it for half a year and few days ago I downloaded LeeDroid 3.3.3 data ++ and successfully installed it but I had only 120mb free internal memory for apps with it. I was googlin a lot and i realized that Im using wrong HBoot (im newbie in that stuff). Then I found this tutorial how to flash cm7r2 hboot on desire (its required for leedroid ROM)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1223856
I followed the steps, downloaded http://alpharev.nl/PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip then I copied it to my SD card and renamed it to PB99IMG and rebooted my phone. It asked me if i want to update, i chose yes but then i rebooted and got stuck at HTC logo and white screen.
So I tried to restore my previous ROM via ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 but still Im stuck at HTC logo
(after restoring it says:
Restore complete!
E: Error in /cache/recovery/log
(No space left on device)
E: Error in /cache/recovery/last_log
(No space left on device)
Im not really skilled in all these things, can someone pls give me an advice how to get back on Revolutionary hboot and my old ROM or how to get this Alpharev cm7r2 bootloader working?
EDIT: Now i managed to install leedroid from sd again, but there was force closes of everything so I did factory reset and now I pass HTC logo but Im stuck at glowing "ANDROID" logo..... really need help
I think that if I would manage to get "revolutionary" back instead of "Alpharev cm7 r2" at bootloader, my old ROM backup would work.... but i dont know how to get "Revolutionary" bootloader back !
Hi,
you might want to try the following:
Download fastboot commander from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193915
Download the desired HBOOT from http://alpharev.nl/
Select the HBOOT that matches the ROM you want to install
Start the fastboot program, plug in your phone with USB (powered off) and start the phone in BOOTLOADER modus (VOLUME-DOWN + POWER)
there is an option fastboot, press it. You're now able to flash your HBOOT with fast commander.
Unzip the bravo_xxxx.zip so you get an xxx.img file. load this file in Fastboot->[TAB]Hboot, Radio & Rec->Hboot and press Flash Hboot. Wait for an OK.
Exit fastboot and go to recovery. Search for USB Mount (mount your SD-CARD to the USB) and search this SD-CARD in Windows Explorer. Copy the ROM in zip format you want to install on your SD-CARD and unmount.
Now select the option install from SD and select the zip file. Let it run and reboot.
(If you selected a rom which needs an EXT2 EXT3 or EXT4 partition, then partition this first, this is also possible in the recovery menu).
Hope this helps...

PLease help me :( (root-flashing)

Hi guys, I hope you can help me.
I have just rooted + flashed my motorola defy plus for the first time (on any device for that matter)
I installed 2nd init, version 0.6.... or something.
Put a rom, kernel and google apps on my sd-card
Then I turned usb-debugging off and rebooted my phone.
Now I can get into bootmenu, and this is what I do:
1) go to recovery
2) select custom recovery
3) then it says: Clockworkmod Recovery v2.5.1.8
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
4) I then select wipe data/factory reset
5) then it says this: Formatting DATA
Formatting CACHE
FORMATTING SDEXT
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext
Formatting SDCARD:/.android_secure
Data wipe complete
E: Can't open /tmp/recovery.log
6) After that i select install zip from sdcard
7) then I select choose zip from sdcard
8) then I select the zip file containing the rom
9) And it says: Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
E: Can't make /tmp/update_binary
Installation aborted
Now I can't go any further and can't use my phone at all
I hope u guys can help me, and that I haven't F*ed up my phone
what happen if you restart the phone ?
It goes right into bootmenu.
I have however found out how tog et my phone running normal again, I had to select Boot instead of Recovery and the choose Boot Normal.
I do however still want to flash CM9 onto my device but gonna ask here until i'm 100% sure it'll work.
So if you or any1 here got the links to the correct stuff I need, that would be very helpful
may be the sd card
try a different sd card it happen some times
when you restart the phone and you see the blue light, hit the VOL - button.
here choose boot option
select Set Default - and choose [2nd -Init]
restart the phone again.
one more question : what was the last ROM you flashed ?
This was the first time I flashed a ROM (or tried to)
I think the wrong one, can't post links just yet
Ok so I tried it again, and IT WORKED
Now theres a new problem: I get no reception, not for calling, and not for 3g connection.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
At the lockscreen it says Emergency calls only.
I have tried several basebans switchers, but none with any succes.
(I live in Belgium by the way)

Do you have any APN's ?
Go to setting, wifi&networks, then check if you have and APN's in the access point names menu. If you dont you will have to look up an APN for your provider. I had this problem after flashing 2.2.1 sbf.

I tried to add one, but I can't probably because I dont have any service.
That is my main problem, I dont get service so I can't even make phonecalls and stuff
Use this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=662294&d=1311330982
this is a base band switcher
go to recovery and install the zip
when u restar the phone your should see a baseband swhitcher program
now select the baseband in your country and restart the phone
and thats it !
I tried almost every baseband, still no luck
Can't I just go back to stock? My pc also doens't recognise my defy anymore, so I can't put anything on the SD-card
I didn,t solve the problem that you said in the first post here and in Q&A section, can you detail how you had solved?
Thanks.

What I think did the trick was:
When I installed sndInit for the first time I chose to install the upper version (0,6...).
When I installed it for a second time I chose the version below that (1,....)
Hope this helps for you.
PS: I flashed another ROM and kernel, and now I have android 4 installed with signal/reception
Thanks for helping me guys!

Try follow these steps
1) Choose one ROM for the one X (ex. IceColdJellly) and download it to your PC
2) Extract boot.img from the zip you've donloaded and move it to the same folder of fastboot
3) In your phone go to fastboot usb (press power + vol down until you see fastboot usb)
4) Conect your phone to PC
5) Flash boot image
6) Choose recovery
7) Choose mount usb
8) Copy the ROM to your SD card
9) Unmount usb
10) Flash ROM
11) Reboot system
You should be good to go.
Attention there is no GAPPS flashed, for that you need to download latest GAPPS and copy them to Sd card and flash them.
Good luck

[Q] Need help with my Brick :(

I had installed the CM11 Badadroid Rom and wanted to change to Omni Rom by volk204.
I think my mistake was that I flashed first the Bootloader using Multiloader and than only the "start" kernel and FOTA using Mutliloader.
Now I only can access the Team Win Recovery Project. When I try to install the ROM, i get this message:
bilder- upload.eu/show.php?file=11263c-1419277344.jpg
(please delete spaces cant post links :/ )

Are you sure you made the step where you have to type "sh partition.sh" ? And "Partition have been prepared" shown ?
If yes, you can try to flash a full bada 2 and then do the procedure to install omni again, should work. (Download mode should still be available)
Else, do it and try again.
thx, BenzoX for your answer.
Yes, I did use sh partition.sh :/ I would like to flash bada, but I dont know how without using MultiLoader, because I cant get to the Download Mode(maybe I just cant find it).
I found somone with the same problem in the main thread:
ice_ice:
i was having the same problem , here what worked for me ,
i used the second method and copied the rom to twrp folder and flash it
look at at description in the first page
Advanced -> Terminal Command -> Select -> Type "sh partition.sh"
- wait before on screen you will see "Partitions had been prepared"
- Back -> Back -> Back -> Reboot -> Recovery -> Swipe to Reboot
- and again Reboot -> Recovery -> Swipe to Reboot
- Mount -> Enable MTP (if you see disable MTP - it is already activated) on this step PC can ask to install driver, use Android MTP driver
- Copy Zip with ROM to TWRP folder on Internal Storage(MTP mode is still buggy in TWRP and it is impossible to copy zip files to root of storages)
- Install -> choose zip with rom -> Swipe to install -> wait for flashing -> Reboot system
- Now you can remove zip with rom from internal Storage

I always tried the SD version because I couldnt copy to internal storage. Now I would like to try the "TWRP folder"- trick, but the folder is missing....

Well, you should be able to boot to multiloader using volume down + lock
If it doesn't work, try a lot of combinations, there is at least one that should work
If you have adb, you could try to sideload, but look like it's a partition problem (unable to mount system message)

Yes, I have my Download mode back, thx a lot
So I tried it again:
first flashed TurkoCFW -> phone works again with bada
and than I flashed Omni again and tried the internal storage version + TWRP folder
but when I try to install it, I get again:
Unable to mount "/system"
the fifth time I tried it actually worked
