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.

Lost SD and USB support

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

[Q] ROM Manager installed CDMA ROM over GSM phone, please help!

Hi there, as stated in the title I had a CM7.0.3, then ran ROM Manager (I've got Pro version) and tried the option "Search updates for installed ROM". It found and downloaded and update, that was CM7.1.0 buuuuut TOO BAD it downloaded and installed the CDMA version!
When I rebooted the phone, I could enter the system but it couldn't see neighter my SIM card nor my SD card. I can enter in bootloader or recovery mode, and tried to install another ROM without using an SD card (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-to-an-android-phone-device-without-sd-card/) but the problem is that when I connect the phone to my PC, Windows XP says it needs Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver that, googling, I found ONLY for Windows CE based phones (it seems included in Active Sync ...).
I searched here in the forum, too, but fond solution only for Windows CE based phones ...
Could you please help me? Thank you so much.

have you tried to restore your nandroid backup?

It was the first thing I tried but ... as I wrote I realized that the phone couldn't see my SD card ... If only I could access the SD card I could install a new ROM since I've Amon-RA correctly working.

I dont know if this will help ... but you can try do 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Well, this could help, but if I connect the phone to Windows XP, it says that "Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver" is missing and I can't do any adb o fastboot instruction ... I can't communicate to the phone through my PC ... at least if I can't find those drivers.

it says 'qualcomm' even in fastboot (back+power) mode ?

No it says "Android 1.0" whatever it means...

Yes that's what it's supposed to do. Then while in fastboot run the command mentioned earlier.
But first boot into recovery and see if you have access from the sd-card(you should have) from there. if so, just use the recovery to transfer a new rom to your phone and then flash it.

So, good news. First of all thank you for your suggestions.
I connected the phone to a Windows PC and even in fastboot mode it can't see the HTC. Buuuuut I connected the phone to my Mac using ADB for Mac and I could access it in fastboot mode! So, I ran the command you wrote, then entered recovery mode and I could see my SD card, so I could install CM7.0.3 and now I can access SD card e use SIM card. So good!!
There's still only one issue: Bluetooth doesn't work! I try to activate it, it says "activating" but after few seconds it fails. I tried to reinstall the latest radio e then again CM7.0.3 wiping, first, alla data. But it still doesn't work. There's a reason for that? But above all, there's a solution?
I'm reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639 right now, hope that works.

Well.. You should try another ROM.. just try any small ROM i.e. devnull.. and check your blutooth.. as it seems your mobile is connecting to pc.. so USB and SD both working.. no need to USB fix.

So, I used the instructions in the link posted before and do an USB fix and now BT is working. I can't test, right now, GPS and USB. To be true, I didn't test USB connection so I am not sure that a USB fix was not needed.
What is strange, is that, fixed BT (and other) issues, I tried to reinstall a new fresh ROM (the CM7.0.3 I had before) and ... the "no SD and no SIM" issue was there again! I had to do the entire process again and then again BT didn't work. I fixed this one too, and now my phone "seems" ok ... I let you know in the next few days hoping now is really all fully working.
Thank you all.
UPDATE: tested GPS and radio, fully working now

Unaltered Desize Z won't boot anymore...

Hi!
I have 2 Desire Z devices here. One rooted with CM7 running just fine, and one untouched, with the original Froyo/Sense ROM. and here's the problem:
Out of nothing the phone won't boot anymore and is stuck at the HTC-Logo screen.
I can still boot into (the original unaltered) hboot and fastboot.
When I select Facrory Reset from hboot, I think it does flash the recover image, but that won't boot either.
Selecting Recovery in hboot just displays an icon in the middle of the screen (a phone with a yellow warning sign in front)
I find guides on how to backup and restore for rooted phones all over the place, but I'd like to keep that device in original condition. Just want it working again.
So maybe there's a way to flash a working recovery rom through fastboot?
Maybe we can do some diagnosis using ADB in hboot?
Oh, and it's probably too late but backing up the contacts (and other data) would be great
Any help really appreciated!
Thanks!
Daniel

Sounds like you might be suffering from the 'bad' emmc problem.
There's information on the error here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039504
In short, the internal memory card gets corrupted and cannot be written too, if you do have this problem there is nothing you can do, but get a replacement.
-Nipqer

Thanks! I'll contact HTC...
Still I can still connect to USB on the bootloader, do you think I have a chance of dumping my data partition so I can try to recover things later?

if you know how to do a dump I'd say its worth a shot. The emmc (i think) can still be read, just not written to.
-Nipqer

I don't know how to dump using fastboot. I found a way to upload an image to the phone, but I can't download.
Can anyone point me to a guide on how to dump Data using ADB/Fastboot?

Is there any way to get a shell in the bootloader and access the filesystem?

You might be able to use adb shell in recovery mode, but seeing as you don't have clockwork mod it may not work.
Give it a go anyway.
-Nipqer

No it doesn't work just like that...
I couldn't find any USB drivers that workes (not from the sdk and not from HTC Sync). The drivers from PDANet installed correctly though.
adb doesn't recognize the device, but it is recognized in Windows' device manager.
fastboot works though, but it can't download anything, right?
I'm not sure if it doesn't work because of the driver or if it's just not supposed to work with the normal launcher.
I guess I should just tell the guy his contacts are gone... I doubt it helps to put a note in, "please restore my contacts if possible", when I send it to HTC.
I just hope my device won't break the same way... But at least I have clockworkmod on it and I do regular backups and have everything synced to Exchange, so it won't be that much of a problem for me...
Thanks for all the help!

USB Brick

Hello!
Here is my problem. Weeks ago i rooted my phone using unrevoked and I'm also S-off. But yesterday i wanted to flash a new rom, so I wiped and after that took conscious that I was unable to flash a new rom because it was impossible to access my SD-card. I tried to reactivate the my SD-card using differents methods but it didn't work.
So now I totally desesperated, if anyone has any idea of how i could fix it he would become my hero!
PS : sorry for my English.

Try to format your SD card using your computer. Use FAT32. Copy a new ROM file to said card then flash via recovery. If that doesn't work, try using a different SD card, maybe this one is broken (yes, it can happen all of a sudden).
To check if your USB is bricked, try connecting your device when in HBOOT mode (bootloader) to a PC via USB. If the PC can detect the phone, then it's not an USB brick. The phone's screen should also read "HBOOT USB". You can also try fastboot, in which case the display will read "fastboot USB".
If that doesn't solve your problem, please give us more details.
P.S. - You shouldn't have opened a new thread, as there are already lots of threads on this matter.
