Sd-card bricked?
No superuser in terminal for not being rooted. Search and read instead of expecting others to do everything for you because you ask so nicely, which you don't.

I tried other sd. Same condition.
I just rooted my Desire with unrevoked.
I'm able to turn S-off, but as I've no nand-backup of no-a2sd roms I can't restore. Restoring nand-backups of a2sd-roms via fastboot is doing well, but system can't boot in OS lacking sd-ext.
I used
Code:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
It said Ok. But, I didn't see any benefit.

May help someone.

ok ppl basically fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 fixes sd access in android so you can copy the fix off the sd card to /data
pm me the cid of your phone (not sdcard) and i will make a specific fix for your cid

phew just tried that second fastboot command and it cleared all my problems up in under a second!
That were close
Thanks

you mean the command "fastboot oem rebootRUU" solved the problem??

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. I think my problem is that i have a screwed up OS im not too sure. i hope some experts can give me some suggestions to solve this problem thank you

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

[Q] Brick? USB brick? What to do?

Hi,
Today I backed up my mobile ( using amon ra ), partitioned new SD card and placed backup back. All succesful, then my phone got a boot animation loop. Got battery out and tried to flash the ROM again ( insertcoin stable ). Then It can't read my SD card anymore! The error was: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
I can't flash a ROM anymore, but I wiped my phone after that for trying to flash, didn't work. Now my phone is turned on. It boots with a grey black android logo, and then I get parts of insertcoin. I'm missing a lot of apps and apk's, ( for example the settings and the lockscreen ). So I'm missing a lot.
I can't power my phone when it's on, only when it's off. So please help me!
And explain it as easy as possible.

Search the forums USB Brick -
it will contain the command:
fastboot enableqxdm 0

if you can get to fastboot, you can use: fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

And that's it?
Just turn phone on ( volume down + power ), then power button for fastboot.
Plug it into PC, start adb and then that command?
And then my phone can read USB again?
Edit: SD again?
Edit2: I am in fastboot, but where to put the command?
first cd and then the android-sdk tools folder? ( ADB is not in there, that is in platform-tools )
So what to do?

Phone must say: FASTBOOT USB
You have to put this where your fastboot is located, not the adb (but i have them in one place )

I think it worked, I've done it using the fastboot thing.
Now flashing Insertcoin again Hope it works!!

Ok, got my SD working again, with Insertcoin. But it recognize the computer or anything very late! When connected to the computer or power, it takes a few minutes before it recognize it, the computer even doen't ask for diskdrive or something like that, it only powers... What to do?
Edit: Do I need to do these options too? http://android.modaco.com/topic/309939-usb-brickrickrolledb0rked-fixed/ numbers 3,4,5 and 6?

Bump... Please help, I need my phone tomorrow and I can't miss it.

Yes you need to flash something as well, and the instructions there may work as a quick fix, but for me if the wrong image is flashed things like bluetooth don't work and other quirks are introduced.
I had to to generate a CID image specific to your variant of the Desire from this site: http://ks25738.kimsufi.com/misc/
The Rom version is irrelevant I think so enter the example on the site.
For "cid", input the following into the terminal (Mac? and Linux):
Code:
fastboot oem boot | grep #INFOCID
You should get a line like:
Code:
#INFOCID is HTC__E11
Which means you enter "HTC__E11" as the CID.
I you're on Windows (why?) or the above doesn't work, forget the pipe (|) and everything that follows and look for "#INFOCID" in the output which should be several lines long.
Put the generated mtd0.img file in the same directory as fastboot (or anywhere if you think you can handle the paths properly) and enter:
Code:
fastboot flash misc mtd0.img
Obviously you need to be in Fastboot USB mode in the bootloader for any of this to work.
For some probably unrelated reason, USB file transfers still don't work for me so I forced to use the Samba Filesharing app from the market.
I got the info from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639

Ok, where can I find the Rom version? And please give the flash of that file in more steps, I don't understand it.

Bump, I really need my phone in a few hours! Please help!

Ok, I'm further.
I have now a few problems with: 3. Get flash_image from the attached files below
Move this to /data/ , and flash the modified image using:
"/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img"
You can move both mtd0.img and flash_image by putting it on your sdcard, and issueing the following command in a terminal emulator:
'cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image'
'cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img'
You might have to do 'chmod u+x /data/flash_image' before you run the commands (or chmod 755 /data/flash_image)
4. Repeat step 3 a couple of times if it doesn't seem to work well.
5. All done! Reboot, you should have normal usb connectivity. Post your 'fastboot oem boot' log and intermediate steps if it fails.
I made a mdt0.img using http://ks25738.kimsufi.com/misc/
My cid was HTC__E11
and ROM version 2.36.405.8 and it gave me a mdt0.img file
Now step 3, I don't know how to let it flash... I don't know what to do now with the file... Please help and give everything in simple steps

I read it, but a few questions...
( My phone is S-ON )
1. I'm not on a stock rom, but on Insertcoin
2. I can already acces my SD card, so can I skip the first step? Done that yesterday already.
3. Can I use the mtd0.img generator? If yes I have already the file.
4. With step 3, which files must be in /data/data?
5. With step 2, I have super user, so can I use that instead of the root acces thing?

SOLVED!! Thanks everyone!
I read a lot, and its succesful! Diskdrive, wall charching bluetooth EVERYTHING!!!
Thanks everyone! I really appreciate it.

[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.

SD card brick , u can look at this thread
these commands through adb should solve it (u said adb is not finding ur device,make sure u have the drivers installed). i had this sd card issue at least 3-4 times and these 2 lines always saved me

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!
S-ON (I unfortunately turned it back on while I tried to fix it)

I guess you just need to run two fastboot commands:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 (unblock your sd-card)
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:

OKAY
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?
