read every thread abour Rom/Root/S-Off, Eng S-OFF, i'm sure every thing. I can only turn the phone, by taking the battery off... I have formated my SD card, because of i thought that i ave used CMW partition, before the fix...

download full wipe from xda.. google it "full wipe 1.3 xda" put the zip in ur sdcard.. put the rom(watever rom ur using) in sdcard as well ..
now take battery off ur phone.. back in.. press and hold vol down + power key.. u will go into bootloader.. then click on recovery.. ur phone will boot into CMW recovery > install zip fro sdcard.. 1st do a full wipe.. then flash the rom again.. u will be fine
i'll try now, so happy some one can help, i havent sleept for hours
Else if that does not work ( when i try to boot into recovery that way my phone vibrates, shows a green light and does nothing.. )
connect the phone to your computer and in ADB type: " reboot recovery "
I agree with leather face, I haven't tried this method but I have heard this will solve your problem, when I had the same sort of problem I downloaded the ace stock rom the placed the file on my SD card then took my battery out then reinserted it & powered back on while holding down the volume down button then once in bootloader select fastboot then it will ask to load zip, select yes now it will say done, reboot then you should be back at the beginning again with a working phone start again from scratch but this time do a wipe from recovery and make sure you are using the correct clockwork with the correct rom ie clockwork 2.*.*.* with Cyanogen 6 & clockwork 3.*.*.* with Cyanogen 7 & then you should be just fine mate
now i've tried... it says it cant find recovery file? in CWM loader
it says wrong image...
edit: signature is wrong (or some thing like that) should i rename the .zip file?
or sould i generate a Goldcard for MD98IMG.zip?

You'll only need a goldcard if your phone is branded.
With something like a T-Mobile Bootscreen or else.
The Filename should be PD98IMG.zip and it should be in the root folder of your SD.

Dude,DON'T PANIC!
Download the attached CWM 2.5.1.3 rar and unrar it.
Now,do you have ADB setup on your pc?If not,search for a guide(Google is your friend),there are many.Supposing you have ADB setup,place the downloaded CWM .img file inside the folder where fastboot is.Open CMD in windows(Type cmd in RUN on your start menu) and there type "cd" and navigate to the folder where fastboot is,like "cd C:/YourPc'sName/android/tools" without the quotes.If it changes folder(it will if you type everything correctly) type without the quotes "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img".The you will be able to boot in recovery through fastboot.
Else,you can use Fastboot commander which is supposed to have a nice GUI and make things easier,but I haven't used it.
Hope I helped!
FIXED,

Installed Rom, kernel and now nunning 1300Mghz trying it out...
Hi Experts,
I am getting serious problem in my clockworkmod recovery, I am not able to mount the card because of which I am not able to install any ROM, the thing is that I do not have any ROM installed on my phone so cannot go out from boot/recovery window.
I am getting error like when I try to open SD directory from recovery
can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
Please help I tried searching the thread but could not find any good solution.
Formatted the SD-card card also but no success
I am having the same problem here
Plz help expert , I tried to use another sd card also although it was old with 128 mb space but same error was shown in recovery,
it is the case the the sd port might have been corrupted?
then i think the phone is gone
plz help
Plz help guys...no one to suggest something ...m thinking of taking the phone at service center....but u i think warranty is void now ...as it is rooted...
ok soz i just read 1st post carefully, will help you momentairly
also i need to know is your phone S-OFF ?? (did you do the alpharev procedure or just unrevoked)
you must set up ADB on your pc : http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ you dont need to do steps 3-5 since you already have the drivers (the same as rooting), you must download the ADB files from 'update' part after the step six, and dont do ADB devices cmd, do 'fastboot devices' while in fastboot mode (back+power) to check if you get a serial number (if yes it works if not you didnt do it right way)
when done, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt do :
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
this should fix your SD, then go into recovery and check if you can mount your SD (USB storage) to use it in windows, if yes you are good if not that is an USB-brick, it is fixable so dont worry
Thanks for the help .... Will try this ASAP....hope it helps
Also my phone is NOT S-OFF...Do i need this before proceeding or can I solve the issue like this..??
you dont need S-OFF and, if you have USB-brick i dont think you can make this procedure
first, do what i told you (set up adb and enable your sd card) and check if your phone has any usb-connectivity
also this will help you - How to set up pc to use adb and fastboot (if you wont make it with unlockr method)

thank dzumagos
I am now able to to mount SD card and able to see all files
but wen I run them thru recovery it show..
opening package.. then updating package.. then it returns to main screen of CWM recovery... does nothing ...this is happeing with all the zip files...
are you 100% sure the .zip file are OK ?
try downloading Oxygen ROM and flashing it.
also i do understand you can connect your phone with computer with USB cable [with USB storage enabled in recovery, does the windows see the FAT partition on sdcard] ?
check your md5 sums - or flash another recovery
Yes the zip files are OK i already installed them before (RCmixS)
but wen i mount from recovery the usb is not seen in windows...
but now m able to see the files in sd in recovery but cannot install ROM thru it..or run any zip file
usb brick ? Usb cannot be seen by windows?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691187
If i insert USB separately thru adapter it can be seen but wen the mount thru recovery it is not seen..does this mean it has bricked ..windows says cannot recognize mass storage device...
plz help guys still no gain...cant install rom...
firstly lets try to flash a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640&highlight=clockworkmod
download clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 ZIP file and put it onto your SD
then boot into recovery and flash the downloaded CWM.zip, it should now boot up into clockworkmod 3.0.0.5
now try flashing a ROM (rcmixs or some AOPS - Oxygen or CM7)
you can also try with clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 (but 3.0.0.5 is better imho)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039954&highlight=clockworkmod
now hopefully you will have a bootable device. now the usb-brick.
all you need to know is in the 1st posts of this two threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143252&highlight=usb-brick
also in the second thread there is 'visionary+' mentioned but you do not need it, since you are rooted already.
both threads describe the same method, read them and you will know what to do.
good luck
-----------------------
if for any reason you cant flash a ROM with a diffrent recovery then im outta ideas. someone else would have to figure out why cant you flash a ROM (not being able to flash a rom has got nothing to do with usb-brick)
just to be safe, try with oxygen.
----------------------
and if nothing works you could try a RUU (put phone into fastboot and then run the .exe file on PC and it will work) this should restore you to a Stock unrooted rom, but the USB-Brick will still be there, so you would need to do the method from 2nd thread with visionary+ to gain temp root
thanks a lot dzumagos
for all the help...will try it ...
simply try to change the recovery with unrevoked , download amonra recovery and it should work
But doesnt changing the recovery with unrevoked works when u have a ROM install...
As I do not have any ROM installed can I change the Recovery.....
the thing is I rooted the phone long back and now I forgot how I did it....need to search it ...
Also when I run CWM 3.0.0.5 thru recovery it changes to 3.0 but wen i reboot the recovery again CWM 2.5 comes
y is that so ??
yes it is the way it is supposed to be
it is called 'fake-flash' which means CWM 3.0.0.5 is flashed temporairly. so it is gone after a reboot. to flash it permanently you would have to be S-OFF which you are not but that is not a problem.
anyway were you able to flash a ROM using 3.0.0.5 or does is act the same as 2.5.0.7 ???? did you try with Oxygen rom ??
Alright so heres my issue. i soft bricked my htc desire hd. i have backups for my stock and cm7 on my sd card. but thats not the issue. every time i go to hboot it wants to update my radio b/c of the zip on my sd. updating the radio or not, it reboots right to the soft brick. so i cant restore any roms that were stable. any ideas to get past this?
Do u check for errors on eMMC? Maybe this is problem? (DHD and similiar phones, like Vision have eMMC chip, which like damage himself). On XDA you can find tutorial for check eMMC.
And next, what is version of your hboot, and radio which you want to flash are not older than existing radio? Maybe... You can try to flash via fastboot from ur PC, upload radio.img to folder with fastboot, open CMD, go in CMD to folder which have this files [for example, if u have this folder on desktop, in folder "fastboot", u should write "cd desktop\fastboot"], and next run "fastboot flash radio radio.img" [if ur radio file have radio.img name]
Sorry for my language. I'm very beginner in english, because im young, from Poland, and never learn english (only myself in home).
I writing this to get 10 helpful post, i have new tutorial for root and S-OFF Desire HD with 3.13.xxx software, which i can't root with any tools.

Sorry, I don´t actually get what the issue is. There´s not such thing as a soft brick..you are bricked or not. Anyway, just erase the PD98IMG.zip file in the sdcard, try to get to recovery and flash a custom rom. That should get you back to a working state...
Awwwww.... sorry, i misunderstood...
U DON'T want to flash radio...
Exactly as @up, you should delete all files what start name from PD98xxxx.xxx and go to recovery. Anyway, you can try to flash complete original ROM (BUT ONLY OLD VERSION!) via fastboot, should work
to be more specific..
how to i delete the radio update zip from my pc. the brick isnt allowing me to mount my sdcard..if i could delete the .zip then i could flash a cm7 backup..

If you don't have a card reader for your pc, you can remove the card from the phone until you get to recovery. After recovery starts you put the card back in the phone. Go to mounts and storage to mount the card. From there you should be able to restore whichever backup you would like.

Hi All
Spent most of today trying to root the good lady's phone, using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195275Much more difficult than I thought! I have got as far as having unlocked the bootloader but when I try Flashing the Custom Recovery UI, I get "CID incorrect" Could someone please explain what this means. I have tried searching for help but not found anything i understand sufficiently to proceed. What is a goldcard and what does it do please?
It has just stuck me that I have the PG76IMG.zip file and the root.zip on the sd card at the same time, should it just be PG76IMG.zip until the CWM recovery UI is installed? Many thanks for your help it is much appreciated.

There is already a post on this search around a bit more...wrong section too.
Don't forget to smash that thanks button down since its being a big meanie!
Harsh Response
Thanks for the response even if it was a tad harsh. I only posted as I could not find the answers i need so you sent me off searching again? I have been reading around and still do not know why the CID error occurred and still do not know if I am doing something wrong by having the PG76IMG.zip file and the root.zip on the sd card at the same time. I found a better way of obtaining the SD card CID using an android app called Gold Card helper and I now have a page http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcardwhere I can input the cid to get an image downloaded to me. What I still fail to see is why this has become necessary. Can you tell me if this card created during this process then has to be in the phone when I attempt to flash the clockwork mod recovery image, as that is on another sd card. Please enlighten me and I shall give deserved thanks.

Bro can you at least text format your posts?? You write everything in a single line without pressing enter.
It becomes creepy to read.
Anyways, Where is the prob?
Prob is in rooting or in flashing CWM(clockwork mod recover) ?
For CWM ,
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
find the device , and click on the version number to start downloading.. (its 5.0.8 as of now)
then paste it to desktop. And then with the fastboot command flash it to your mobile in fastboot mode.. you will be done. Then the root.zip that you have , flash it from recovery .
Hi Mihir
Thanks for your help, I had no idea there was a specific recovery image for each model of phone.
Now that I have downloaded the image can I substitute the image for the one I currently have and then I guess run
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvel.image
would that be correct as i guess the image need to be in the same directory as fastboot?

ya that would be correct

should be .img rather than .image...
Thanks Mihir I will try that when my battery has recovered!
Please help
Hi
I have just managed to download the correct Recovery image as suggested and it appears to have installed correctly.
Code:
c:\WFS>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
sending 'recovery' (4494 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.700s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 2.200s]
finished. total time: 3.900s
I have then removed the battery for a couple of minutes, restarted while holding down the volume minus.
I get the white screen showing hboot at the top highlighted in blue and fastboot highlighted in blue further down.
The sd card is then checked? and I can then select recovery and press the power button.
I then wait for the recovery options but all I am seeing is a white screen saying HTC followed by a black screen with all the four screen button lights on?
There is no mention of any recovery options at all.
Has something gone horribly wrong?
Delete the old download, download the recovery again, and flash it using a GOOD USB-cable. preferably the shortest and sturdiet you have. The image file has probably been corrupted somewhere from the interwebs to your computer, or from your computer to your phone.
Success at last
I finally got Recovery to work with the help of the Recovery provided by Operator3 at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1997465&page=3
I used Recovery to install the root.zip and I now finally have a rooted phone, woo hoo!!:laugh:
Now all I need to do is free up some space at last.
okay so heres what happened.
I have an international htc one x that is indeed rooted with no roms installed.
I did create a back up and then tried to install the MIUI rom (but I dont really know where that is on my phone. I know I made one with rom manager. I dont have any backups on my computer though)
It worked, however, it didnt have wifi or data signals so i went back to try again.
I opened my bootloader screen. For the record, it is unlocked and hboot is version 1.73 if that helps.
I wiped cashe/data/delvic everything and even factory reset and installed the MIUI RD rom now hoping it would have a difference.
The darn thing got stuck on the MIUI bootloader for hours.
I did the same thing again a few times, sometimes in different orders and then it passed on and another screen came saying 'starting apps'. That got stuck for hours too.
Now I don't have any other roms on my phone, just the MIUI RD. The original miui just vanished too, i dont see it anymore. Also, when I put my USB wire to the phone and connect it to the pc, I cant transfer newer files into it. So this is all I have access to on my phone apparently.
I tried flashing a boot.img and a couple kernels but no luck. I've been trying to do this for all day and this is my first time so I don't know much about it.
I've been googling and somethings say to open cmd and type but i keep getting 'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
Currently, its not stuck at either the MIUI screen or the Starting Apps. but just the HTC logo screen and not going past.
I don't really want to install any new roms considering i've worked really hard to get this to work and I really want it now more so.
How do i fix this? I want to use this rom.
flash philz recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240646), usb mounting should work on that, then:
steps to install ROM
1. bootloader version should be 1.3x
2. copy ROM to SD Card
3. copy boot.img INCLUDED in the ROM zip to fastboot folder
4. flash the boot.img in fastboot
5. in recovery, wipe system/data/cache/everything
6. flash rom
7. restart
but how exactly do i put it on my phone? my computer isnt detecting my phone when i connect it? im sorry im not exactly an expert on this.
Go to recovery - mounts and storage - hook up the usb cable - tap the last option in the mounts and storage list and wait a few minutes. It won't be mounted instantly
ok i flashed the philtz recovery but when i flash the boot.img it says:
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update
installation aborted
for reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957490
thats the rom i used and i flashed the boot.img flasher thats right above the download link
edit: also i tried just flashing the rom again and im still stuck on the HTC screen.
its not even going to the miui screen or starting apps anymore. :[
Boot.img must be flashed via fastboot. Not via recovery !
ok, i looked up how to fastboot, downloaded sdk files and i moved the boot.img into the fastboot folder and i opened command prompt there and wrote fastboot flash boot boot.img but i keep getting:
'fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command'
what did i miss?
EDIT: ok, so the fastboot folder i got from the page didnt work so i used a different fastboot folder, dragged the .boot there and now it worked! finally passed the screen and wifi is connecting!
thank you!
Good, thanks to @tomascus. He summed it up real nice
Cheers
