[Q] My Bricked HTC Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] My Bricked HTC Desire - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Problems with ROOT, Am I bricked!???

I was rooted and running a 2.2 rom and wanted to install the damagecontrol 3.2 rom, which, as I understand it, requires NAND to be unlocked. I downloaded Simple Root and tried to unlock NAND.
When I turn on the phone I get stuck in a boot loop.
I try the recovery console. It takes a few minutes to load PC36diag.zip, the update for NAND which I already installed.
When I say no to the update and no to restarting I get into the menu, but if I try RECOVERY it loads the phone with the exclamation point, but I am unable to connect using the adb batch file I have always used before.
Also, when I try HBOOT USB the drivers aren't able to be installed. The device is read as "Android 1.0".
Can someone please help me?

Bootloop means you need to do a full wipe.
First thing's first, delete the PC36IMG.zip file from your SD. Then when you get the image of a phone with an exclamation mark, hold down the power and volume up key to get into recovery.
As for the last bit, I'm sorta' confused what you're problem is.

Part of my problem is that I can't delete the file from the SD card. Can't get into the OS and can't turn on USB.

Something similar happened to me. For me, instead of booting Damage Control, I switched it to Fresh and booted Fresh v3.0 and it worked and booted. Then I unlocked the Nand and made a nandroid. Then whipped everything 2 times and booted DC and it worked fine after that.

You can get in to usb and put fresh on there by going to recovery mode and selecting one of the options that says USB, i can't remember the exact wording.
Added: I just checked it's called "USB-MS toggle"

When you get the exclamation mark screen, hold down the Power and Volume Down key. Once in recovery mode, select the USB-MS Toggle feature, this mounts your SD card yto your PC. You should then be able to access the root of your SD card via the Removable Disk icon on your computer.

It wouldn't let me load USB from the console/whatever either... Another weird driver issue.
But after several more hard battery pulls I let it try again to boot and it showed me the "HTC, quietly brilliant" boot screen, which was different that what it had before.. I let it load and now I'm in android, but it says my SD card is removed.
Is this a part of the process necessary to unlock NAND?... Do I have NAND?

Check and see if your USB connection is in Charge Only or Disk Drive mode.

no. You make your nand back up when you are in recovery mode and you select nand back up and it backs up everything. You'll need to follow through with the rest of the Nand unlocking instructions.
Did you download and follow the steps of the flash_image and mtg-eng.img etc etc...? Then the rest of the steps?

That's the first thing I tried to do when android loaded. It's not even an option. It says I removed my SD card.
I restarted, denied the update to get through to recovery, and I still can't connect with adb -it shows "Unknown Device" in the device manager.

are you connected with charge only? try hot sync (you need to install the program, which include drivers. this is on the htc website)
Mine worked for hot sync but not charge only

Looks like you may need to run through this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243

I've been reading that post.
When I select fastboot, it gives me other options.
bootloader
reboot
reboot bootloader
powerdown
If I select bootloader it takes me back to the main menu, if I select reboot, I get back to android and still do not have access to my SD card, so I can't get out of the debugging rom, or whatever it is.
I put another SD card in, so I don't have to wait on the update.zip to be read every single reboot, but that's all it did.
Am I doing something wrong?

Don't know then... sorry. You can try starting over from the beginning?
Best of luck.

FML.
Someone? I'm totally stuck.
And my phone says the the charger isn't delivering sufficient voltage... and I'm down to 8%.
HEEELLLPPP

its always an good idea to have a micro sd to sd adapter

After 3 locations, I found a Sprint store that actually existed... had them copy an update.zip that I brought on a flash drive onto my micro sd card. I tried booting into recovery and it didn't do the update. They suggested another store that does repairs, so I went to my 5th store, where I just dropped off my phone, hoping they'll reflash it fore me. I'm expecting a call back.
What a wonderful birthday this is turning out to be... lol. FML
UPDATE: I called them and they said the phone needs to be exchanged... but I don't know how they're going to react to it having the recovery/debug version of android on it.
Does anyone have ANY advice?

Just tell them to put in a fully charged battery for you. Then when you get it home try the Simple Root Guide you tried at first. This time post your issue (if you have any others) in that thread and myself or Jiqqa will help. Make sure before starting that guide that you have .NET framework and HTC sync installed on your computer. But you should be able to root phone and then be able to flash custom ROM after that.

(SOLVED) Just another USB brick...

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] 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)

HTC Desire Stuck on HTC logo - Recovery not Working - NOT SOLVED!!

Not sure what happened, but my Desire won't get past the logo boot screen any longer, and RECOVERY mode in HBOOT just reboots the phone (regardless whether the SD card is installed or not). I can get into FASTBOOT however. I tried communicating with the Desire via adb console on my Windows XP system (after ensuring that I have the latest version of HTC Sync installed). "adb" commands do not recognize the phone (error: device not found). "Fastboot" commands do recognize the phone. (The command "fastboot devices", gives me this in return: SH09ER801629). So I'm not sure if my USB drivers are okay with adb, but the fastboot success seems to suggest so. (Also, "MyHTC" shows up under "Android Devices" in Device Manager).
The phone was rooted with ClockWork Mod using UnRevoked, and had Teppic stock Froy v.2.10.405.2 initd as the OS. Originally, it had TELUS-branded Eclair. I've downloaded the TELUS Froyo RUU.exe, but don't know how to install it on the phone, if I can't access RECOVERY mode or adb console. I don't think I ever set up a Gold Card, to my recollection. Also, I've been out of the smartphone scene for 6 months, and did no mods, no flashes, no program installs to my phone in that time. So it's a mystery as to why this is happening. But the phone had been acting up lately, rebooting by itself during a call every so often.

if i'm not mistaken you can run the ruu and it should see the device if connected to pc with fastboot loaded.
as for trying to get back without losing data i'm new to all this so no idea
if you had run ruu on the phone and it was wrong type (i.e gsm ruu on cdma phone or other way round) then that explains the lack of capability.

Thanks for the tip. I ran the Froyo TELUS RUU.exe (should be the right type, as I have a Telus phone). It wouldn't work (in both main HBOOT screen and FASTBOOT screen). Gave me an "error 170". It could not connect to the phone, despite that I'm on Windows XP, that it says "Android Bootloader Interface" in Windows Device Manager, that it says "HBOOT USB PLUG" on the HBOOT screen when connected via USB, and that I am able to issue FASTBOOT commands from the PC. But I can't issue adb commands, so it appears I can only "partially" communicate with the phone from the PC.
Should I try CLEAR STORAGE, or could that fully brick my phone?
On the HBOOT screen, these are the status messages that load:
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No Image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No Image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]
No Image!

USB Brick
For me, it sounds like a typical usb brick :/ I hope you still have rooted ROM. Search through this forum for unbricking guide.

Put the ROM.zip from the RUU on your SDCard but name it PB99IMG.zip and then boot with volume down again to enter HBOOT, it should give you the option to flash your phone back to factory default then.

Thanks! I just tried that on the advice of another poster on another forum (before reading your reply), and that's the one and only thing that worked!
Especially when, after the RUU.exe wouldn't install, RECOVERY mode wouldn't work, nor adb, nor HTC Sync. Yes, I've lost my root access, but small consideration, considering I haven't lost my $500 investment! I'm sticking with stock now, as I'd rather not risk having a brick in the future.
As for what went wrong, I can't say for sure. But considering it took months after I had installed a ROM or otherwise modified the phone for problems to show up, I'm guessing it was probably the overclocking heating the chips. Which led to eventual random reboots during phone calls, and the eventual freezing of the boot screen, and subsequent inability of HBOOT to load PB99IMG.ZIP.
xda rocks, thanks to you and all those who took the time to reply.

sorry for delayed responce. I'm sure you had already found a solution by now but in the off chance you didn't.
you have to load fastboot not hboot.
from a power off state hold back button and power on phone. this will load fastboot and ruu will find device when run.

Fastboot will only work in Fastboot. ADB will only work when phone is booted and USB Debugging is on.
I don't know that as fact, I only know it from personal experience.
Use Fastboot to flash a new ROM, or at least a new recovery image. If you can get into Fastboot, you 'should' be able to fix your phone.

+1 There is a good guide to fastboot commands on the android wiki:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
Should be a case of wiping system, data, cache, then flashing recovery image. Then boot into that and restore a backup or flash a rom.

Placed cyanogen onto the 4gb sd card which came with the phone.Power off the device. Rebooted whilst holding the volume down button. Got the options up. Navigated to recovery and selected it with the power button. The screen goes blank. The o2 screen comes up saying welcome and thats it, it freezes. I have to pull the battery out of the back in order to reset the device and then it starts up perfectly normal. Tried accessing recovery mode using the clockworkmod but i get the same result.All of the points on the link above were followed. Im pretty much right at the bottom! still researching the net for the answer but im now in need of additional

Does your phone get hot and overheated during the htc logo? It did so to me and it turned out to that my CPU had melted and overheated. Take it to your retailer and they will fix it for free because it's not your fault, it's the phone that overheated.

Try this:
-download this with ur pc and rename it a PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip ok?)
-then put it on the root of ur sdcard (not in some folder) through an sd card reader
-ensure the battery is charged much than 30%..better more
-with the phone off (remove battery and put again) press and HOLD the volume down key and press (still holding the volume down key) and hold the power button..hold both and wait to enter in the hboot
-there wait a bit, and it will ask to u if u want apply the update, select yes with the volume keys and confirm with power button

[Q] Phone Stuck at SPL Screen

Hi
Today I tried to install Android Cm7 on it from following procedure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566955
I copied RHODIMG.nbh and CM7***.zip file on the root of the SD and restarted with volume down key which installed successfully but now Im having a black screen after every restart.
Currently the device starts with HTC screen but then goes black. I can also get into boot loader mode by restarting with volume key down but now it does not detect any RHODIMG.nbh file even if its in root of the SD card. Now I cant even install back Energy rom.
Before energy rom, I did installed Hard SPL successfully and its still there too.
Please help

OKay, so I have tried everything I could and I think the boot loader is corrupted?
I tried to load different RHODIMG.NBH files from the root of the SD card, Energy, Deepshining and then Stock ROM too but for all the boot loader says 'No Image File'
Can anybody please guide me here??

Try using the USB installer. So long as you can get to the bootloader screen, you can flash via USB or SD. If SD isn't working, try USB.

Yes, I just did it, I installed WMDC as I was on Win7, when I went in bootloader and connected the phone via USB it was detected as HTC USB Hub, then I Flashed the Energy ROM and its working fine now.

Though for a moment I thought I bricked my mobile but I still want to take another chance to install Android in it
