[Q] Desire won`t recognize sd card. Running out of options.

Hello all,
My desire wont recognize the sd card. In android self it shows please insert new sd card. I have done this but no succes. Factory reset was no succes.
I reflashed to stock rom didnt work.
the fastboot enableqxdm 0 doesnt work for me.
In recovery i get this message.
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk1p1) No such file or directory. Error mounting /sdcard
Current situation is stock 2.2 Rom, rooted with Unrevoked.
Does anyone have an idea?
Greetings and thanks Tom

Did you format the SD card?

Yes i did with 2 different cards. A 4GB and a 1GB sdcard.

That should fix it mate
Just to make things clear. It's a usb brick. There is easy fix, but you have to install android sdk, and use adb command.
Once you have sdk installed, open cmd
type cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
then
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
and then
fastboot oem eraseconfig

Thanks will post results shortly

Maybe this will help shed some light on the matter.

Have you tried running latest RUU for you phone?
Is your card now recognized?
P. S. You were in fastboot when running both commands? I mean fastboot mode on the device.

Thanks for the help hopefully ill get it sorted in the morning.

This is great!!! worked like a charm!!! Thank you so much!!!
i was actually losing my mind because I had the SD problem about a week ago, and only did the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" part, the guide I read didn't have the eraseconfig part.
Since then, my USB was acting up reaaly bad, device not recognized, not even charging, device would notice it's connected HOURS after phisically connected etc.
I was worried I've killed the best phone I ever had =[
Again, thatnks a lot!! =]

Glad it worked for you can you post your specs so that i can compare? Thanks

hey guys...
I got the unrevoked 3 and unrooted my HTC Desire... everything went ok... The problem came next... Now it does not read any micro sd card, like most ppl complained..
I've been searching and trying several things for the latest hours and got no luck...
Most ppl said it's an usb brick, still following instructions here and in modaco i cant fix it, cause i just cant copy any files to sdcard.
The sdcard is working fine cause it reads on computer. I already reformated it...
I tried using the fastboot commands but nothing worked...
I didnt thought about this before rooting, but i think the phone is locked to an operator.. Dont know if it mattered.. Still.. the root is working... had no problems.. Only it does not recognize any sd card.. in OS or in recovery.
Any lights out there of me???

I strongly recommend the repartitioning of the SD and reformatting. Do you guys have any other partitions besides the FAT32 ? Is FAT32 a primary partition or logical ?

i already reformarted it.. its fat32.. only some space is allocated cause i wanted to make other partitions, ext4, to put a new rom...
but i noticed now in windows that its a logical partition.. everytime i do it it makes it logical. also used minipartion tool to format it in fat32

Maybe that's the problem. Use the minipartition tool to partition and format.

finally got a new card to test here... strange thing.. that one it detects... its only in fat.. not fat32
another strange thing is that i cant set to primary... dont have that option in minipart tool enabled... really strange... but i can use the card in windows and it works good...
even when i format it on minipart tool it sets it as logical.. LOL..
damn

just tried to enter in recovery mode.. with the card with no partition.... tried to format it there.. still cant mount it.. lol

I have a Bricked Desire seeking help

I was trying to flash a insertcoin ROM the other day and i failed to do so. I then just kept trying to flash the same file and wiping my cache and stuff in recovery. Then i tried another ROM but still didnt work; i formatted my sd card and after that when in recovery my phone says fail to mount sd card dev/......so on so on.

It's one of two possibilities:
1) You've usb bricked your device. To solve try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639&highlight=usb+brick
2) Mis-formatted SD. SD has to have one FAT partition (first) and a second ext3/4 partition. Both have to be primary.

Do you mind to explain how to format it correctly then?

Read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016084 at step five. It is on step by step how to format and partition your card. It has a video showing you exactly.

try this put your htc desire in fastboot mode and instal the ruu and voala the phone is back

sometime ruu flash can't fix usb brick if your misc.img is corrupt

final request for help after this if it doesnt work i will go to htc help center
this will be a video of my problem now, and i still cant get things to work....search um "My android problem" and you will see a guy in grey shirt thats me holding my sadly bricked desire.

Did you tried flashing stock RUU?

If your are still usb bricked after flashing RUU/pb99.img then try the steps below i fix mine that way.
after i unlocked my sd card via fastboot command"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" sd card recognized by phone and i can browse it via file explorer.
note-you can access your sdcard only via file explorer nothing else so after execute the command download a file explorer from android market.
then i copied the visionary+(it gave me temporary root access which is needed to work this whole thing out).
root explorer,terminal emulator apk and those usb bricked update file(image_flash,mtd0.img) to sdcard from pc via card reader and installed them.
before copy those update file on sd card i edited the mtd0.img to put correct cid n rom info via hex editor.
after that i copied those update file in phone memory
/data/data/ and set permission for r/w and execute via root explorer.
after that i simply typed this command in terminal emulator
"su
/data/data/flash_image misc /data/data/mtd0.img"
Rebooted my phone and voila usb brick is gone htc sync,usb tethering,sd card mount,charge everything is working and now i am rooted and s-off again
Note-you don't need the rageagainstthecage file which only need if you try to get root access via terminal emulator which is lengthy n complicated but with visionary+ you can get root access with 1 click and it's much easier than typing command in T.E.

you are S-OFF
to fix usb brick you do:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
done.
USB-brick fix thread must be updated, lots of S-OFF users struggle with mtd0 method while the fix is just one simple cmd.

It's not that simple if your misc.img is corrupted that fast boot command only enable your sd-card if it's blocked it's not gonna fix your corrupted misc.img so i had to flash the pb99.img to get back to stock rom get through the process i described earlier.

well in order to carry out these tasks ill need my phone to be detected by the computer right? I think this is why i cant get into my phone cuz when every i try adb shell it says devices not detected.

That's why you need to do exactly what i did as you are now stuck on stock rom with usb brick.

Thread how to fix usb brick can be found here on xda.

It seems you didn't get me either.i was usb bricked twice on s-off device first time that command worked but second time it didn't that's why i had to unroot it and go through this long process.there are other people like me who was s-offed but that fastboot command didn't work for them either for some reason.any way lets stop the arguing here it's not gonna help the thread starter.it worked for you fine but it didn't work for me second time

Don't type adb shell, just fastboot enable etc etc. in once, in that way it won't work
ps: you still have to do the cd C:/android-sdk etc.
But if you go into fasboot and if it says fastboot usb after connecting it's no problem just do what i said than

I always run the fastboot oem enable one to fix sdcard reading, then flash the update.zip to fix usb connection.
Does this mean theres no need to flash update.zip if I run 'fastboot oem erase config'?
I'm already getting usb bricked, a quicker fix is always welcome!

[Q] Houston We Have a Problem ---Almost a Brick

Hi,
Over the last year I have been rooting and flashing roms on both the HTC DZ and the Aria and have not had any real troubles. However...
Recently picked up a used Desire A8181 that was flashed and had CM7 with 2.3.7 G installed with CWM backups but "desired" to flash a newer ROM with either 2.1+3 Sense or Sense 3.5.
So over the course of the last week, been looking at alpharev, hboots and all of the stuff one might need to flash such a ROM. Well today ran into a problem. I cannot tell you exactly what I did but where I am is not a good place.
So, need some help...
1. I can boot into recovery and currently have cwm-4.0.1.4 loaded
2. Using Fastboot I can flash an .img file either a new bravo_alphaspl.img or a recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-bravo.img file using AndroidFlasher.exe or using fastboot.exe
3. I cannot get
a. revolutionary.exe to see my phone, it states WAITING FOR DEVICE
b. abd shell or device or any adb command to work
4. I cannot get a stock OTA RUU file to flash and when I do, I get the errors shown in the attached png files.
5. I cannot access my SDCARD and get this error can't mount /SDCARD and along with this the error /dev/block/mmcblk0
I have
- stock hboot
- PVT3 S-OFF
- hboot 6.93.1002
So looking for some tips or trick to get my ROM reloaded which I suspect is related to corrupt storage on the phone?
Anyway, thoughts welcomed.
Thanks,
malloy0
UPDATE...I also reviewed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632 and many others, NONE addresses the issue of not being able to access the SDCARD. Also, I have 6 different SDCARDs and they all work fine in my DZ. I have also prepd and formated using Gparted and booted via Linux.

Thanks!! Will try in a few days. Busy for work traveling. Not much time to test.
Note on the adb drivers? I assume that given I connect my DZ and my WinPC and it works to access the DZ phone that these drivers mean they are installed? Using XP SP3. Also, I accessed my A8181 yesterday no trouble, so...assume the adb drivers are installed. I do note when the Desire is plugged in, sometimes get the request for the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM (or something like this?) driver, but no luck finding this. So hit cancel and move on. Did not have this issue yesterday.
Ok...on the commands, will try more later.
RE: fastboot commands?
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
do I need to have these enableqxdm and rebootRUU files where I have the fastboot.exe file?
Spent way to much time searching and trying to fix myself, time to get some help.
Thanks again.

These are not files, they are just 2 commands to fix the usb brick. So you only need fastboot.exe.
To get the drivers you have to download the Android SDK, but I think that these drivers will work as well.

[Q] USB Brick and can't mount SD in clockworkmod

Hi everybody,
I've been looking on the forum for over a week, and I still haven't been able to resolve my problem.
I tried flashing my HTC Desire with a ROM (on Rom manager), but it didn't work (it always rebooted).
I stupidly deleted all the data on the phone, cache, dalvik cache, etc.... so no Rom is on my phone now.
I now think my phone is USB bricked (it has all the symptoms such as not being properly recognized on the computer).
I can turn on the phone, the buttons work, I can go into clockwork mod BUT I can't mount my SD card in clockwork (so I can't flash anything through that).
I would really appreciate and help you have to offer! Thanks!

I guess you just need to run two fastboot commands:

fastboot oem eraseconfig (fix misc partition)

I already looked at that page and tried what you said and it didn't work, I also tried flashing the PB99IMG.zip but that also didn't work.
I then needed to do the process on the bottom of the page, but it requires me to use a file explorer app, and I don't have any ROM installed

any ideas?

are you sure you ran the fastboot commands correctly?
1) Make sure you have fastboot set up, if you don't, unzip the attached file into c:\
2) turn on your phone in FASTBOOT (either hold BACK and POWER, or select FASTBOOT from the Hboot menu)
3) plug the phone in via usb
4) run cmd and type
Code:
cd\
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig

Do you see your device in fastboot devices? If yes then follow bortak's guide. If not, you might have a problem

Hi,
"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" works fine, but when I do "fastboot oem eraseconfig" I get the following message:

It is written that I'm connected on fastboot USB on my phone, and fastboot detects a device as "SH09XPL05866", that I suppose is my Desire.
Any suggestions?
