HC Desire bricked? - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
Here is my story. 1 month ago I had install Leed Droid on my phone with partitions on card and everything was fine till I got some errors (like rebooting). So yesterday I had decide to go back to original ROM. Maybe I had done the steps wrong. Here is what I had done. First I had format my SD card in a SD reader to FAT32. And after that it had start my problems. The phone can not see the SD CARD and also the PC can't see the phone... so I can't install original ROM or put it on SD card to flash it from there if that is possible. I can go into bootloader and I had try to add files on SD card but can not see it it say:
can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
I had read abt this but coudn't solved the problems... so is posible to be USB bricked but I had follow the steps for that and didn't work... Any ideea?
P.S. I can boot Le3e Droid if I push recovery. But I can not install anything on card bc it can not see it
Here are the details of h-boot:
I have H-BOOT 0.93 0001
BRAVO PVT 1 SHIP S-OFF
MICROP 031D
TOUCHPANEL- SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.08
Thanks!

It not necessarily bricked. It could just simply be that the format went wrong. Don't know on what OS you formatted it but windows isn't the tidiest in formating. Never experienced it on my phone but it happend to me with my digital camera. Camera wouldn't read it anymore. T
If you have access to an other sd card you could try flashing the rom from that card. I would test that first before you try something else.
Good luck

IT'S NOT BRICKED!
Had same issue before, fixed it easily just cant remember how... wait for some more experienced people.

Can't access SD card and PC doesn't see USB - can you help me?

This happened with me yesterday. To solve it, I partitioned the SD card in recovery, and everything seems to be fine so far

Well it can't see my card not even in recovery... so should I do the partition again? with EXT3 and fat 32? Personally I will like to go back to original ROM.

Yeah I couldn't see my card either, but going to advanced>partition sd card seemed to work.

where in advanced?

in recovery mode
Have you tried shut off the phone, pull of battery, put it back
Then press power + volume down
plug the phone
use RUU.exe ??

Sup dude, i hope this helps,
1st get another SD card, then format the card, full format not quick.
Then follow this guide, UNROOT By DoidZone
And see if that dont work for you.

My Desire stucks on the white htc-screen with the InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1 A2SD+
I was trying reinstall so many times but without any success.
With InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1 CM7 and RCMixSv07 all is ok.
The Desire is s-off, CWM3.0.0.5, Hboot CM7, 6,5GB fat32, 1 GB ext3 and 500MB swap.
Before installing I wiped all .
Pls. pls. pls. any ideas?

Hey dude install the newest htc sync on your computer.
Then download the newest RUU for your phone then run it like any other program while your phone is connected to your computer. That should install your phones softwre the way it was when you got it. If tjat doesn't work try to reboot in hboot and then factory reset. Hope that helps.

I belive your desire is fine, and you just need sd card formating.
It happened to me four times.
Easiest way is to remove sd card from phone and put it into reader. My advice is usb reader. But sd reader will do also.
Download HP Usb formatting utility and format card. That will last some time. Now boot Gparted and format as you wish.
Or try with computer management disk and try to delete partitions on sd then format again.
Let me know if working.

Hello again!
I had buy another SD card and still my phone can't see he SD card...is not available... also the PC still don't see my phone... so I'm blocked to use Lee Droid. Of course can't do pics because of no SD card, can't injstal some programs...etc... I still wait for a solution from you... someone who had the same problem and fix it...
The only way my PC see the phone is when i go to bootloader... and if I try to run the RUU is starting... it say
: image version :version-main Failed (status read failed(too many links)) and if I push update
Thanks! is coming another screen it say:
from image version : version main FAILED (command write failed (unknown error) and when I push next it show it start the proces....waiting for bootloader and after that in 1 minute it say: error 171... the cable is not plugged.
Thx

Have you seen this ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6696983&postcount=1

I had close to the same problem as well

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.
Ok. I had try that but when I press power botton in fastboot it show me:
PB98DIAG.Zip loading...
Image not found
And it continue with other ... not found. So any ideea?
update:
Copied PD98IMG.zip to the SDcard, reobooted into recovery mode and it doesn't work!
On the HBOOT screen, I see:
Loading PD98DIAG.zip
Not found
Loading PD98DIAG.nbh
Not found
Loading PD98IMG.zip
Not found
Loading PD98IMG.nbh
Not found

Even I am struck at the same position as the above post:
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Except that mine is lookinh got PB99DIAG/img etc.
I have seen those comments about using the terminal emulator, but how to use it when the phone is not booted yet?
Also, adb devices does not show the device. So, not sure if the phone is correctly working.
Any next steps?

Nobody had find a solution?

[Q] She is bricked (pls not) HELP!

Hi,
Was running on LeeDroid 1.9, wiped and flashed for OpenDesire 3.4, came up fine then rebooted for the 3.4.2 patch and now my Desire just will not go past the HTC logo screen no matter what I do.
I can boot into recovery and have full access to everything, tried formatting the SD card and loading different ROMS but stuck @ the HTC green logo on white background.
Even Revoked3 again but the prob is not getting into the Recovery menu, its getting past that HTC screen.
Any info / idea's / help?
Thanks
Russ
If your phone turns on its not bricked, there will be a way to fix any issues your having, its just finding the correct one.
When flashing other roms did you wipe everything?
Data
Dalvik Cache
Ext parititon (if you have one)
Not wiping Dalvik is the number one reason roms get stuck bootlooping on bootscreen1.
Alternatively, it is booting but your not waiting long enough, you can always run adb logcat while booting to see if they phone is actually doing anything.
Hi,
Thank you for replying....
Figured it out that it is the SD card, here is the situation:
- Boot into recovery but cannot mount nor format the SD card
- Can see the SD card in MAC/ Windows and formated it Fat32
- Can boot without SD card
- Can boot with another SD card which is only 128Meg so cannot get LeeDroid back on it to reflash that ROM
I obviously need to format the SD card proper and it looks like I need to use Gparted but that looks like a HUGE Linux ISO download unless you know of a MAC version of it I can use?
Thanks
Found a 2Gig SD Card, got LeeDroid back on it, flashing and hoping I can boot with the original SD card so I can format with ROM manger but thinking it wont boot up with the SD card in regardless of the ROM, lets hope!
if you don't manage to boot it up. find this in the forum "PB99IMG.zip" w/o the quotes. format your sd card and put the archive in root of sd card. after that turn on your phone by pressing volume down and power on/off. wait till phone recognizes the archive and follow onscreen directions. phone should boot normally as unrooted. use unrevoked to root again and flash any rom you want.
post result.
Okay I am up but not on my original SD card, using a spare.
In recovery mode my phone refuses to mount nor format the card but can see it 100%
Seen some posts of a ADB cmd I need to use or is there something else I can try?
Thanks!
I ran "unrevoked" on my phone again and it booted when I had that problem.
But I took out the sd card when I did that. Not sure if it helps. But who knows.
Tried that, booting without the card is fine, with the card in is the issue, phone cannot see it.

Error mounting SDCard

Hi i have an HTC Desire running a custom rom. I had amon RA and yesterday i have flash Clockmod recovery through fastboot. After rebooting it keep up booting on the flash screen. I have formated my sd card and try to re-install a custom rom but i'm getting an error. E:can't mount/dev/block/mmcb1k0p1( No such file or directory.Error mounting SDCard! I am trying to mount the sdcard through clockmod but still the same error. i was thinking may be the card is not good. I bought another card but still the same. Pls can someone help me to sort that out.
My Desire is s-off with Hboot 0.93
Sounding like the SDcard is "deactivated". Maybe it's the usb-brick? Try a search for that. I think there was anything about reactivatIng SDcard...

Same probem here
Hi.
I juste encountered today the exact same problem : After a Nand back-up using CWM, I discovered that nothing had been written on the SD-Card.
Whan I tried to reboot, I entered into a boot loop.
Back in recovery, I had no mean to mount /sdcard or /sd-ext : I always get an error message "Can't mount ..."
I am S-OFF, Hboot 0.93.
Any help ?
can't mount sdcard
hi today i have bought another sd card. Formated and partition it using gparted. put the card on my phone et voila the phone boot normally and enter the OS. But the card problem is still there and i can access all the apps on the phone. setting is no longer available on the phone. Any idea how can we sort that as i can see a lot of people is encountering this issue. there is no one who can address this issue?
i have got a link to that forum and have try to follow the instructions but stuck on the first step. It says you must root your phone as mine is already rooted but may be we have to re-root it. While connecting my phone i'm getting found new hardware: Qualcomm cdma. I have search the net and downloaded and install activesyn but can't found the phone. I am unable to root it. Any suggestion?
Same problem here although I have a htc explorer. I continuously have to keep reinstalling my Rom and formatting my sd card. Its probably because of software bugs
is your phone say "sd card removed. please insert a new one"?
if yes, try to backup your data and format the SD card with CWM Recovery.
mine was back to normal after partitioned by CWM

Don't waste your money on sd cards. You should get an sd card adapter/reader to format your card using your computer. Sometimes the format option on mobiles do not function properly.

As long as your sd is readable by your computer, you should be able to mount your sd card using cwm recovery

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."
I have a CDMA Desire that would not read the sd card. I tried all the different tutorials I could find, but nothing worked. I finally ended up taking the phone apart, and there was a connection right beside the sd card slot that was partially disconnected. I reconnected that and everything works fine now.
Seems like connections disconnect fairly often with the desire (GPS, LED, SD card, etc..) so if nothing else works and you are comfortable taking your phone apart, you could try that.
Here is a video of how to disassemble the phone.

[Q] Stuck in recovery, not recognizing SD card

Hi all,
So just few minutes ago, I back up all my data on sd card to my comp because I wanted to try another ROM. After that's done, I proceed to unmount and format the card and my problem starts. The card will not mount again.
When it wasn't mounting after format, I thought to give restart a try and now I'm stuck in recovery as it gets stuck on HTC EVO 4G white screen. In recovery, I try to wipe the SD Card and I get an error, "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)".
I have tried following fix but no luck again:
-------------------------
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
------------------------
Next option is to flash RUU from fastboot but I can't find 3.70.651.1 RUU. Don't want to flash to gingerbread RUU because I'll lose my root then.
Does anyone have a link to the RUU or any suggestions on what I can try? Please let me know.
Appreciate all the help!
If u rooted with unrevoked u wont lose root. I don't think u even needed to format it tho. Make sure u formatted it fat32

go into recovery and try partitioning your sd card. maybe it will read it then, if not go pick up another sd card from best buy or something and use that. Or if you have a sd adaptor card (the one you slip the mico sd into to plug into the computer) try putting it in your computer and reformatting it there. let me know if you have any luck

SD card won't mount

Running ICS and my SD card won't mount anymore it happened during normal operation tried to fix through fastboot still no luck can't be seen in hboot or in recovery and doesn't show up in ICS any ideas on what could have caused it after looking I'm leaning towards hardware
sorry but i don't have a fast answer. However you should check the troubleshooting guide maybe you can find something.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632
Yeah I've tried the SD card stuff from there was hoping for a way to test the slot through fast boot I've tried another card no luck
right ive given up as no fastboot commands will let the device see the sd card ive gone and ordered a new sim/sd card flex card and am wondering if anyone has a guide on how to replace it or similar
right so ive changed the micro sd / sim flex cable same issue the sd card did randomly mount itself the other day but stopped not long after the sd card is working fine still in pc and doesnt matter how i format it doesnt mount in the phone other sd cards ive also tried didnt mount any ideas what could be the problem?
Which fastboot command(s) did you try / use?
Did I read that right you can read the card in CPU or card reader? I had this same issue before I rooted and was running stock happened shortley after I purchased phone it turned out that there was something wrong with the card put in different card and voila it worked. I inquired with the carrier and they couldn't give me an answer as to why it happened or what. Hopefully this provides some help

Flash 2.3.3 RUU. If SD card can be mounted, get S-OFF and root with Revolutionary.
RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5_Radio_32.36.00.28 U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126338_signed.exe
apears to be the right one i dont know if its 2.3.3 tho just try installing that one?
You get the 2.3.3 RUU from the HTC Developer Center.

nope no luck when reinstalling stock guess its a motherboard fault and i cant be bothered to replace that so thanks for the help learned a few things
Try this
I had very simpular problem many times. Try this:
Boot into recovery, select advanced options, mount USB. Connect to pc, till you see the drive come up on your computer. May take a few times plugging in, back out of mount. You can verify it working in recovery, I just go into "install zip from sd" and see if there are files/folders. Unplug, then select to restart device.
Has worked for me a couple times, I have been doing a thousand other methods in the last 6 months. Some worked some didn't, this one has been the easiest and best results. Hope it works for you.

Unable to mount SD and to boot

Hy all,
First, excuse my english, I'm french.
This morning I was on call and suddently, it stopped and my phone freezes. I had to remove the battery.
But know, I'm unable to boot again.
Since I decided to remove the bootlogo, I don't know if it's right after the HTC screen or while booting (I knew it was a bad idea...)
Finally, after some tries, I've been able to access hboot and recovery. But recovery took 46 secs to boot and said "Unable to mount SD card" or something like that. I tried on my computer and the SD card can be accessed.
So, I would like to know if someone had the same issue or if someone can help.
Thx!
Infos :
DHD running CodefireX SR19 and latest radio. No other sign since the release of SR19 some weeks ago.
sounds like you need to reformat SD card on computer. But first copy 4ext folder to computer then format SD. After format SD place 4ext folder back on SD then remount SD to phone see if that helps. You may have to full wipe and reflash rom when you enter recover do to apps moved to SD will no longer be there but may show in rom and when you try to open they will force close.
