[Q] H3Lp / Desire locked :mad: - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone.
Big mess since this afternoon because of my dear desire.
I was surprised by connecting my phone to my pc to charge it to see my phone restart itself.
After an unbearable moment, my "precious", with a custom rom (OpenDesire 3.5), starts mode android naked.
Let me explain, here is what does not work anymore
- Any GSM network detected (neither mine or any other)
- No access to the contents of the SD card
- No recognition of the USB device
Here's what I did to test:
For sd:
- Formatting the SD card under Windows and Linux> still not recognized
- change card> still not recognized
- Copy of a file on sd> is not seen with Astro File Manager (File sdcard empty)
For USB:
- No icon in the notification area
- Enable / disable debug mode (windows wonder the driver cdma)
For the operator:
- Test my simcard in another phone> phone ok
And here for the manipulations that I get different results:
- Parameters / SD card and Memory> "sd card up" grayed
- Under Rom manager> SD Card not mounted
- Under Astro File Manager> sd card empty
- fastboot> recovery> ok on the phone, is activated, but does not detect device with pushfile (idem windows/linux)
- install rom official "RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.3"> does not detect the phone
I'm beginning to dry.
Is it possible to flash the phone from the sdk without using the SD card?
I also think it would be possible to do a lot of things with Rom manager (installed on the phone) without the requirement to have an SD card mounted
Thank you 4 your h3lP.

"Turn on USB storage" - can't access memory card

When i connect HTC Desire to PC and press "Turn on USB storage" on the phone, screen flashes a few times and presents the same screen again (it doesn't switch to "Turn off USB storage") - i can't access my memory card when running ROM.
I can access all my memory card data if i use memory card reader or when in ROM, using any file explorer app. Also, i have no trouble accessing my phone via USB when in HBOOT or FASTBOOT.
Please help.
Additional phone info:
ClockWork Mod v4.0.1.4
Alpharev "Bravo CM7 r2" HBOOT
Memory card is formated: 7GB FAT32, 1GB ext3
So far i tried:
flashing few different ROMs (Oxygen, GingerVillan, F1)
formating the memory card using ClockWork Mod
and that didn't solve my problem.
EDIT:
I tried to connect the phone to another PC and it worked without a problem, so it must be something with USB drivers on my original PC. Anyone has an idea what to (un)install?
its is something to do with the permissions when the phone is in usb mode the phone cannot write to the sd card and so must be r/o and when u eject the phone from the computer the permissions of the sd card may not have been changed back to r.w ..
so to fix it just boot into recovery and do the fix permissions option in advanced menu
recall having a similar experience with my desire, I managed to copy my data(with show hidden files enabled in the windows folder options) from the SD Card and then format the card, then re-copy it back to the SD card.
Solved the problem for me.

Thanks for trying guys but none of the suggestions worked. It is definitely something with drivers on my PC, because on my laptop it works without any problems. So problem is not in the phone or memory card, but PC drivers. The thing is, i don't know which drivers i need to re-install.
Tried with the only one i see in Device Manager - "Android USB Devices - My HTC" but it didn't do the job. It re-installed fine, but there must be some other USB driver i'm missing to fix.
Try these here - http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Look for - Windows users, please download and install these HTC fastboot drivers.
Sad to say but that didn't help either. I have a problem accessing memory card content when connecting to PC while ROM is running (tired several ROMs so it's not a ROM issue), when i'm connecting the phone to PC while in fastboot it works just fine.

[Q] Class 6 MicroSD card 'disappears' in XP

Just want to know if the Desire HD has problems accessing the microSd card (especially if it's a class 6) when connected to a PC in 'Hard Drive' mode
Let me explain...
Firstly - I have a rooted phone with Android Revolution HD (v5.2.3)
I had the original 8Gb Class 2 card that came with the phone, which I swapped with a Kingston 8Gb class 4... had no problems with it.
I could connect up the phone to my PC (Windows XP + SP3) as 'Disk Drive' & copy files back & forth between them with no problems - no matter how large they are or what type
The 8Gb got a 'little full' recently (I filled it with APK Backups,Music ,ebooks & 'comics' etc), so brought a Samsung 16Gb Class 6 from Amazon
I connected up to phone as 'Disk Drive' & copied over the contents of the phone DIRECTLY to the 16Gb (which was in a Card reader) with no problems.. then put the 16Gb into the phone (after unmounting etc safely) & all apps etc work fine.
NOW - If I connect the phone up as 'Disk Drive' to the PC, although I can copy OFF the 16Gb to the PC with no problems,
If I try copying file ONTO the 16Gb (regardless of size/type)... I MAY be lucky enough getting 2-5 files across before XP 'loses' the drive & asks 'Please insert a disk into drive...'
Now I'm pretty sure it's not XP the problem - I can put the 16Gb into a card reader & files copy over with no problems (I've plugged the card reader into motherboard USB, front panel USB and even through a USB Hub)... it only seems to happen if I access the card through the Phone.
Is this because -
it's a Class 6 card...
A problem with the Phone design...
Due to ARHD Rom (if so would updating to the latest version fix this ??),
or is there a way to prevent XP from losing connection ??​Many thanks in advance
I think its a bug in that rom. It does not have anything to do with sd card, if you can, update it or just try any other rom and i am sure it will work.

I may just try that in the future - just don't want to install a new ROM (It'll have to be latest ARHD anyway, as I have a full HTC Navigation licence) & then have to reinstall everything (yet again)
However I can currently get around this little 'problem' by using 'File expert' app & using FTP over my WiFi, as that seems to work OK,... a lot easier than having to remove the SD card each time
But thanks for the suggestion anyway

Samsung Galaxy S i9000 internal sd card not working and touchscreen not responding

Hi. I have a Samsung galaxy S i9000 running a Jellybean 4.1 custom ROM. androidadvices. com/ update-galaxy-gt-i9000-stable-jellybean-411-firmware/#.UDJOV91mT9d
Everything's working fine until today when my laptop (Win7 OS) froze up while I was formatting the internal sd card of my phone.I restarted the laptop and phone and the internal sd card cannot be detected by either device anymore.
I tried to format the sd card multiple times to no avail. I tried to flash stock GB ROM. ODIN can detect the phone but cannot complete the process. It fails on "Setting Up Connection".
Up to the above process I was able to use my phone (it turns itself on, just can't use internal sd card). However, I made a stupid mistake of doing factory reset, cache wipe, and dalvik cache to reflash the JB ROM in hopes that it will fix it. Now, my phone is stuck on the Welcome screen (one with Choose Language and Start to setup) but the touchscreen isn't working so I can't select Start. The buttons on either side of the center button works, though. Only the touchscreen function is not working.
Now obviously, USB Debugging is not set up on my phone so I can't do a lot. My first question is: Is there a way to setup USB Debugging using ADB or from Recovery?
Additional info:
Recovery and Download mode are both working, although like I mentioned above, I cant reflash stock ROM because of no usb debugging and it fails in Odin. File Manager can be accessed from Recovery but it has no internal sd card directory. External sd card is ok, though, as well as the system files. But cannot install from internal sd card (obviously), cannot format sdcard, or do anything that has something to do with sdcard. It gives an error "E:\ can't mount sdcard"
When I connect the phone to the computer via USB, the phone "knows" that it is connected because the notification beep sounds and on Computer, it shows a new drive name (F but it says "Please Insert a disk into Removable Disk F.", which I believe, means it can detect it but cannot mount the storage.
I can also use adb.
So my questions are:
-How do I get the touchscreen functionality back?
-How can I enable my internal sd card to be mounted on the phone again?
-(same as above) How do I enable USB Debugging from adb or recovery?
I know I have a lot of issues on my phone but I would really appreciate it if you can help me. Thank you.
Did you find a solution?

Problems with SD card

First, I think there should be an option when plug a USB from computer to have a 'Charge Only' mode, like HTC phones. Most of the time when I plug a USB in I just want to charge, not transfer files.
But the real problem is it always defaults USB mass storage - and everytime it does that my phone cannot read SD Card until I select some other option like MTP. However once I have de-selected it from USB mass storage, there are still problems of my phone reading the SD Card, it could one of the following:
1) the SD card is not detected at all, even in Files or ES File Explorer etc. Another indicator is in Settings-Storage it doesn't show an SD Card is detected
2) the SD card is detected it but takes a long time, maybe 5 mins or so for it to index all my files - as shown in the fact that it takes approx 5 mins for my images to show in Gallery, and 5 mins or so for all my music to show in JetAudio
My SD card is fairly large at 32GB but I'm not having problems on my other phones

[APP] USB Mass Storage for Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini

Hi everyone!
I was looking around for an app that could share my SD card with a computer via USB Mass Storage protocol, but no success. There were apps for other phones, but they didn't work for my phone :/ So I've created something for my own, and I hope it will work for your phones too. My app works only for external SD card.
REQUIREMENTS
* Rooted Samsung Galaxy SIII Mini (GT-i8190). This app may work for other devices too, but I can not guarantee that.
I have tested it against:
* Android 4.1.2, firmware JZO54K.I8190XXAMD3
* Windows XP SP3
* Windows 7 64-bit
Not working on:
* CM 10.1
KNOWN ISSUES
* USB PC Connection will still display MTP/PTP mode, even if the mode is Mass Storage. I could fix that issue, but this will require permanent configuration changes, which I would like to avoid.
* Other USB modes (especially ADB) are disabled during UMS mode. This can not be overcome.
USAGE
* Launch the application, click Enable UMS. This will unmount your external SD card from the device, and when the card is unmounted, app will switch USB mode. You should see two new drives appearing in My Computer window. On the second one, your SD card data should appear.
* When you are done, eject (unmount) the drive in Windows.
* Click Disable UMS. This will switch USB to the state it was before enabling UMS, so MTP/PTP mode, as well as ADB will be back. Then, your SD card will be mounted in the phone. An MTP Application prompt may appear, asking to restart MPT application. You may answer what you wish
IMPORTANT NOTES
* Never mount SD card in the phone (Settings->Storage->Mount SD card) while it is shared with a computer. This will cause the card filesystem to be mounted concurrently by two operating systems, and for sure cause data lost.
* Always eject (unmount) the card from a computer before disabling UMS.
* It seems that results (especially glitches and hangs) vary depending on the SD card you are using. See this post by myself.
HELP, THERE'S SOMETHING WENT WRONG
* You may restart your phone. The app does not make any permanent configuration changes, so it's the safest option.
* Restart your computer.
* Unplug and replug USB cable.
* You may try to disable USB, wait for several seconds, then either enable it again, or from the system USB PC connection app, change the mode to PTP, and back to MTP. Be patient, and wait before performing next operation.
* Be patient. From time to time, the computer takes a lot of time to detect device going back from UMS to MTP/ADB.
* App not working. Describe the symptoms (app crash, phone crash, computer crash, nothing changes, etc), your device details (operating system version and build) and attach logcat (adb logcat -d -v long > filename.txt) logs.
P.S.
I would kindly ask moderators to move this thread to the appropriate subforum, if it is already not. Since I'm newbie, I can not post to Developer's forum. Thanks

Do you copy from the SD card, or to the SD card?
If you copy from, have you tried opening some files directly from the SD card? Do they open?
If you copy to the SD card, did you unmount it in Windows before disabling UMS?
I have just tried copying in both directions, and files do copy properly.
Hi f_ranek
App is working well, but hungs PC copying from PC to SD and vice versa with files more than 690 Mb, hope you could fix it, it will be very usefull, well known advantages from ums mode.
Thanks for your job.
Do not go on CM10

Actually, there seem to be some timeout issues. For instance, first I tried copying big files, and it seemed that everything hung, with strange Windows messages. So I disconnected USB cable, disabled and reenabled USM mode, and replugged USB. Then, I copied 40 MB to my SD card, but before the copying starts, I had to wait for a quite long time (about 30-60 seconds). But, surprisingly, after copying that 40 MB file, I have copied 80 MB file, 200 MB file and 700 MB file without any troubles and additional waiting! And they play well on the device. For your record: I was using Win XP SP3, and Total Commander 6.53. Tomorrow I'll try on Win7 64bit.
I'll try to tune a little the configuration, but have no idea if this will change something.

First of all, you are using quite unsupported by operating system. CM is Android, but is very different from the stock one, that device manufacturers put on their devices. Now, I have no plans for supporting CM - maybe find an app dedicated for CM, or ask CM developers to put back UMS mode natively, without any hacks. Because yes, UMS is still there, but hidden in UI, and all that UMS apps are doing is just guessing where and how, and hacking your OS.
Second, if you are using CM, it means that you are quite powerfull user. And I hope can read with understanding to install CM. So please read my post, and attach logcat (adb logcat -d -v long > filename.txt) logs. Sorry for my irony, but if you want to get help, you must first make a little effort.

Thank you very much, inadvertently, this application works on 4.1.2 original stock
Hi everybody!
Recently I did some test with Windows 7 64 bit. The tests were performed on fresh system (the phone was plugged for the first time), the phone was plugged directly (no USB Hub down the line), and I've always switched to UMS before plugging the cable.
If you don't want to read such a long post, skip to the emboldened bottom line.
First, I've tested my regular SD card, 2 GBs labeled Kingston. I've copied 1 GB of files from the SD card to the computer, without any trouble and at average speed of 14 MB/s. Then I wanted to delete those files. After selecting them, and hitting Shift-Delete, I got delete progress dialog, which hung up leaving 1 file (out of 6) undeleted. At this point, access to SD card seemed to hung. I was unable to cancel the operation and close the dialog, as well as refreshing of the My Computer window took significant period of time. So I decided to unplug the USB, and replug it again. After that I noticed, that the files I wanted to delete are gone. Then, I copied back 700 MB file to the SD card. The copying avg speed was 3-4 MB/s, and the CPU utilization window (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495763) showed big blue bar.
Second, I replaced the SD card with another 2 GBs, labeled Japan. Then I copied 3 files (40 + 80 + 30 MB - no more space available, and no unnecessary files to delete) to the card. The copying was smooth, with little glitches before or after each file copying. The avg speed was 10-12 MB/s, and the device haven't indicate increase CPU load (neither green nor red or blue bars). Then, I tried deleting several files in a row from a directory, still without any glitches.
Edit: testing now, on Win XP, and through USB hub (does it matter?) does not work so perfectly well :/ I got one hang during folders deletion, and quite a long glitch before copying of several folders started.
Third, unlabeled 2 GB card sold (probably) with Nokia 6303i. First, I wanted to browse file system on the device. The performance was really bad, I was only reading files and traversing directories. Suddenly, all the file names changed to random characters (no writes performed by myself), and the phone indicated file system error, and unmounted the card. When I tried to share it with PC, windows said that the card is not formatted. The same phone, when trying to mount it back. The card can't be read neither on Nokia 6300.
Last, but not least - unlabeled 128 MB card got with my Nokia 6300 back in 2008. The phone indicated unformatted card, or unsupported file system. The same with Windows 7 accessing it with UMS, and Windows XP accessing it from the SD card reader. But, the card can be still read by my Nokia 6300, however, it's name is a little crapped. Moreover, I can access it from Windows XP using that Nokia in UMS mode!
So, the bottom line is
everything seems to depend on the SD card you are using.
Another story: the same micro SD card accessed via UMS in Nokia 6300 - very good performance, accessed via SD card reader with micro SD adapter - terribly bad performance. Another SD card accessed via the same SD card reader - very good performance. So as you can see, the same SD card, different reading devices - different effect. The same reading device, different cards - different effect.
Im not able to install on stock 4.1.2 i get problem parsing the package
