Evo 4g Bricked USB

It starts to read the pc36img but then goes to the main page. doesnt let me choose to update or not. Im stuck at 1.47. I bricked it last night and lost sd card and usb. I got the sd card working but not the usb. It need me to use terminal and issue su command but permission denied. I made the mistake of going back to stock and updating to the newest ota. I was thinking the ota update would fix my sd card but it didnt. I have clockworks mod but it wont work since im not rooted. I can only charge when the phones off and cant use the usb cable to connect to the computer and view files and use adb. I can get into the phone via fastboot but nothing else. My computer does beep when I plug it in but nothing else.
Thanks
My Hboot is 0.79.0000
radio-2.05.00.06.10
1.47.651.1
Not being able to charge has to be the worst thing.

What OS are you using? I assume windows? Did you install the fastboot drivers? You can push files. But you can also download them via the phone. I would try downgrading the rom then downloading unrevoked 2

I can download files fine and put them on my sd card. I got that working. Im using windows 7 and I have the drivers. I dont know what or how to get it to work. How do I downgrade from the unrooted 1.47 stock rom. I cant get it to update with the pc36img or get the clockworks to open the update.zip. I cant even charge the phone when its on.
Heres the usb fix instructions but i cant root the device so i cant get it to work.
Fix USB
Press & hold vol down and power on the phone
Select fastboot by pressing the power button
Make sure in device manager the driver is installed(Win 7 x64 downloaded them automatically)
Open command prompt like you would to use ADB and type
fastboot oem boot
It will give you a log, look for the line that says INFOCID is SPCS_001, if it says something different, then use the generator below to create one(or hex edit the one I posted)
Download the mtd0.img attached or use this CID generator made by stevebrush over @ Modaco to create a custom one
Download the flash_image attached
Unzip both zips and copy both files to the SD card
Open a terminal emulator(I used ConnectBot) and type
su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img
chmod 755 /data/flash_image or chmod u+x /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img
reboot
Cant get su access so cant apply the fix. This sucks

ok so when you connect the phone to the computer in Fastboot does windows see it and load the proper driver? You can push files if I am correct via fastboot Maybe you can run the root?
Hook the phone up put it in fastboot usb then look at device manager under android phone

Yes fastboot as been working. Was able to apply the sd fix that way. But I dont know how to fix the usb problem via fastboot. It wonts me to run commands in terminal and i dont have permission.

If I had adb I think i can install the usb fix but cant access the phone via adb. When i plug in phone (turned on) its makes a noice on the computer but cant do adb.

OIC I'm sorry I did not realize that. I"m sure someone will be able to chime in. Have you tried running the official RUU while its in fastboot? Or have you tried Hboot USB?

tried the official RUU that i ran in the first place but i get a 104 error. version error or something. I put it in Hboot Usb but adb said it couldnt find the device. Not sure if i did it right tho. If i try to run the rooted pc36img files I get a error saying Main Version is older.
Heres some details
My Hboot is 0.79.0000
radio-2.05.00.06.10
1.47.651.1

ok download this file and run it in fastboot
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VLNPQWL1
After reboot you should have ROOT
Then either download this or try running adb and if you can then I would download simpleroot1 and let it do its job
But here is the eng.pc3 that should work with the main version error
This one SECOND rename it to just delete the eng-

ive been trying to get the pc36img file to work. I put it on sd card. then turn off device and turn it back on by pressing the down volume button. it trys to load it and then it either does nothing or gives me the main version is older error. Is this one different. I believe im doing it right. Done it many times before. I just got this phone, had the evo but had to get a replacement. power port broke inside of phone.My luck

nope doesnt work. Still getting the main version error

does adb work when in HBoot usb plug mode

I'm having pretty much the exact same problem. USB bricked EVO on 2.1 without root. Need root to fix the USB, need USB to achieve root. Really hoping for a miracle, here.

i just ran into the same problem i used an auto root to downgrade hboot 2.02 and it dropped it down .0093 after this i lost usb and sd card i got sd card back but have no way to use adb or terminal to get usb back i used an ruu renamed as pc36img to get back to hboot.2.1.001 but still no usb and no way to root to get terminal to work any ideas?

i am having the same problem here too. doesnt look like there is a solution?

Sd card not workin'
Hey man, I borked my EVO 4g too... What did you do to fix the sd from not being able to be mounted? I can only get into bootloader and recovery... And I heard that if yu can get into either of those, the phone i fixable... Any help, please?

How can I recover a bricked Vodafone Desire using a Mac?

I was trying to flash a rom but now, the phone keeps rebooting/hanging. I can access HBOOT using the volume down/power key but I have a mac so I cant use the .exe file to flash the image back. Is there any version that I could put on the SD card of the phone and get it to flash?
thanks!

ever heard of a program called parallels desktop? is a program for running windows software on a mac, a virtual machine.
edit: actually virtualbox is free http://virtualbox.org

Thanks but that will involve me buying Windows as well and would much rather prefer not doing that. Any other suggestions?

If you tried flashing a rom, you probably have a custom recovery, right?
Why not just boot to recovery, wipe and flash a custom rom.

Download the live CD in post 2 and boot your mac from it then in terminal type
sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/desire

I had the same problem a few days ago and this solved it. Hope it helps.
By the way make sure you burn the disc as an ISO and burn it at the slowest speed possible or it will not boot.

chose your device and download the mac virgin here

Thanks very much- will give this a shot!

Just thinking, have you tried entering recovery from the boot screen?
Select recovery then hold power and up when red triangle appears.

If you don't have an SLCD screen just rename this file to PB99IMG.zip, put it on your goldcard, and boot into hboot:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.zip

I managed to get hold of a Windows machine but when I try to flash it, it says battery level below 30% which is NOT the case as the same battery on my other Desire shows 84%

You can't flash a generic ROM on a branded phone without a goldcard. If your phone was from Vodafone but didn't have any Vodafone branding it may be an unbranded phone, in which case this will work without one.

The phone doesnt have a Vodafone logo on it but when I start up the screen showed a vodafone logo before booting into HTC Sense.

When I do that, I get an error "CID Incorrect - Update Failed"
How can I make a Gold Card if this phone is not booting? Would REALLY appreciate if someone can help out.

Well- some progress:
If I hold the volume down and press power, I can see the HBOOT-0.83.0001 screen. From here, I went into Fastboot and connected the device through USB to a Windows PC. The screen on the Desire is still visible and says Fastboot USB.
I then try to flash "RUU_Bravo_Vodafone_UK_1.19.161.5.." since this is a Vodafone unit. The device is recognized by the Windows ROM Update utility and tells me the "From" Image Version is 1.24.161.3 and the "To" Image Version is 1.19.161.5. I click on next. It starts the "Sending" process , then Updating Signature but then gives a Bootloader Version Error saying Please get correct ROM update.
Any idea where I can get the correct ROM update which I'm assuming is 1.24.161.3?

[Q][SOLVED!!] SLCD.Bad HBOOT.Bricked.Help!

Edited the entire first post to make it clear what the issue *was* and what the solution is:
ISSUE:
1. Desire screen not switching on at all even though phone switches on.
2. Phone boots but doesn't go beyond bootloader/recovery/fastboot
3. Can get into recovery even though nothing comes on screen (test: press volume down and power. Wait for 10 seconds. Press volume down. Press power. Phone should vibrate. Wait 20 seconds. Phone should now be in recovery mode.)
4. Can get into fastboot (back+power)
5. No goldcard
CAUSE of MY ISSUE:
I had Aura Sense7.9+AlphaRev S-Off. Cause::Ran a very old RUU just because I wanted to bring things back to stock. The RUU overwrote my HBOOT from 0.93 to god knows what. Turned out, the RUU was for amoled screens and not for SLCD screen. So even though the phone turned on, the screen never did.
SOLUTION:
1. Make sure you have HTC Sync drivers installed. Install HTC Sync and then just remove the application and not the drivers. I also installed the unrevoked hboot drivers. Do the same.
2. Get Android SDK http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
3. Check that your phone is recognized in recovery and fastboot by your system once drivers are installed -- once you install the drivers, boot into recovery (point 3 of issue -- you should hear beeps in win7 signalling a device connection). Open android_sdk/tool directory in command line and type 'adb devices'. Your device should come up. Similarly take phone into fastboot, and then in command line type 'fastboot devices' your phone should come up.
4.Switch off phone after test. Next, take phone into recovery mode and create gold card. Follow http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/ or use the Gold Card Tool . The last part of the Gold Card Tool (Patch MMC) didn't work for me so I used the hex editor manually. Make sure you start with the SD Card that came with your phone. I tried 2 cards and it didn't work. Just the SD Card with the phone did!
5. After gold card is made, download 'RUU_Bravo_Froyo_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.13.707.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_143921_signed' RUU from shipped-roms. This is the latest RUU that I could find for SLCD screen.
6. Run RUU and if your gold card is correct, you should sail right through. and be greeted by a working Desire.
Phew!
Thanks goes to:

You know you need a goldcard or its going to fail the cid check .... make one, also search for the slcd brick for another solution

I'm not able to get into recovery. I just get to the bootloader -- I know this just because i can feel it vibrate once. volume down/power doesn't do anything. fastboot works because i can see it using adk. Screen doesn't come on at all so can't see whats going on.

How do I make a goldcard at this stage? I can get into the adb shell but can't mount the sdcard in any way. mount /sdcard just throws up errors. Are all goldcards the same -- a goldcard made on one desire can run on another? (I might be wrong but I think not)...
really screwed aren't i?

When you plug in the phone to the comp is it still visible in the "hardware section" ??
( you must have HTC sync installed and after that unistall the sync part, but leave the driver)

When I plug in the phone, I get it as HTC Bootloader in Win7 hardware section...so yes, it is visible.
What do I need to uninstall the sync part but leave the driver for -- to mount /sdcard?

And therein lies the mystery...i can't find it. i've gone through 100s of posts yesterday and tried flashing around 7 WWE and Asia roms, none of them work -- signatures just don't match!
i knew I should've created a goldcard!! since HBOOT has been overwritten and I can still erase system, data, and recovery using fastboot, should I just send it for service --- it is still under warranty... anyway of knowing if it's been HTCized again?

What software version was it on when you got it? This should be made clear before rooting to ALWAYS make a note of it so you can go back to stock if needed...without that you can try and send it to HTC but they may just turn around and say 'you rooted it, tough' and send it back

it was on 2.1 and upgraded it to 2.2 ota the day i got it.
i know.should've paid more attention and even created a goldcard for safe measure, but this is where I am at the moment
just wish things hadn't turned this bad...there's ought to be something else that I can do

http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
http://www.shadowchild.nl/rom210.zip
Ok. step by step.
Download de android SDK from here: http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r07-windows.zip
Unzip it to a place where you can easely find it back.
Download also http://www.shadowchild.nl/rom210.zip , no need to unzip this, just place it in the map "tools"in the unzipped file.
Open a command prompt and navigate to the map 'tools' from the unzipped file.
That is in "CMD".
1. get your microsd card out of the phone.
2. turn the phone onin FASTBOOT mode, press the "back"button (on the right-underside of your phone) and the power button at the same time..
3. Typ in je commandprompt:
code:
1 fastboot erase cache (enter)
2 fastboot oem rebootRUU (enter)
3 fastboot flash zip rom210.zip (enter)
maybe you get a HBOOT pre-update 'error', repeat immedeatly the last command.
when this is finnished (you got now HTC ROM 2.10, not rooted) - the progressbar is then full:
fastboot reboot
You should no have a clean HTC romand can put back your sd card
make sure that there is no more 'PB99IMG.zip' file on the sd-card.
If you go to "start" on the computer an d type "HTC" you will find the HTC sync and two seperate uninstall files.
Just uninstall htc sync and leave the driver.
You will need this otherwise the phone will not be detected in the hardwaresection.
I have had the same problem and a guy on a dutch forum showed me the way and it worked again.
So, plug in the phone, turn it on with "back" and "power" ( not the volume-buttons)
Press "start" on the computer and type "CMD".
navigate to the map "tools" by entering cd (name of the map where you placed it)
Good luck.

yep,
No need for a goldcard.
Don't enter the numbers 1,2 and 3, just the commands.
your phone will be put back in its original state.

[Q] bricked desire?

So something weird happend with my desire today, I tried to reboot to recovery and it just frezes at splash screen...
cant boot to recovery or fire up the system
I think fastboot works normaly. Cause I can find my phone in cmd /fastboot devices. Is there anything I can flash trough fastboot to fixthis ?

You could first try flashing your recovery image, which you can place to the root of your SD card with a card reader. Then execute the following command while your phone is connected to your PC in Fastboot mode using ADB:
fastboot boot <name-of-your-recovery.img> (your current recovery image)
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery.img>
If what I suggested above does not work, then you could also try flashing back to stock firmware. Try to extract the rom.zip from your stock RUU (found here) and rename it to PB99IMG.zip, then place this to the root of your SD card with a card reader, for instance, and then enter Fastboot mode by first powering off your phone and keeping your finger pressed down on the back button and pressing the power button once. When in Fastboot mode (release your finger from the back button), connect your phone to your PC via USB, and wait for "Fastboot" to change to "Fastboot USB". The zip should then run for you and allow you to revert back to stock ROM.
Note: if you were originally branded, you will also require a Gold Card to return to stock ROM. You can use a card reader to create one using the Gold Card tool in my sig below.

Just to make sure, did you put your device in fastboot mode before attempting to boot/flash the image?
What does "fastboot devices" return?
E.g:
C:\Users\Me>cd..

C:\>cd android-sdk-windows\tools
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices

Ok, then it finds your Desire, thats good.
The things is... you need your rom recovery image/rom image on the root of your SD card, if they are not there, then it will probably return the error you suggested above.
Try using a different phone that accepts MicroSD cards or a USB card reader/Laptop card reader (when you purchased your SD Card, it would have come with an adaptor for the SD card, place the SD card into the adaptor and then try inserting this into your laptop card reader bay).
Then you can try the fastboot commands above having transferred your image to it.
You could even try this in fastboot mode (fastboot USB) in ADB:
fastboot update PB99IMG.zip (name of your renamed RUU file)

Was your phone originally branded? If it was (and you previously de-branded), then you need to create a Gold Card first (use the tool below in my sig with your card reader).
After you have made the Gold Card, download the following: http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.zip
Rename it to PB99IMG.zip, place to the root of your SD card. Power off the phone, enter fastboot mode (back + power), connect the phone via USB, fastboot will then change to "Fastboot USB". It will check the PB99IMG.zip and confirm its selection, and be prepared to wait a few minutes until it flashes.

I´m 100% back to stock right?

but I bet I can root it again ...

next question:
how did my phone got messed up in the first place? I know i had eclipse on with usb debugging on. I think eclipse tried to adb push some files over and I just removed the phone from the charger. I'm going to be more careful next time

Yes, you will be back to stock firmware. If your phone was originally S-ON, it will remain as S-ON unless you flashed the modified Hboot (AlphaRev) to unclock the NAND security flag providing full root access to your phone.
There will be no Superuser access when reverting back to stock firmware, unless you went and flashed a modified stock ROM that has root access (software root).

Good Day, first time posting so here is the huge problem i have.
1 - My power button no longer works
2 - No ROM installed
3 - Vol buttons work
So due to an error on my part i wiped my system , data, delv/cache , and because i was rushing i rebooted the phone before installing the new rom. Now normally i would just boot into recovery and flash a rom, but my power button no longer works. I can get into download mode if the phone dies by holding vol down and plugging into a pc, and such can use fastboot commands, but with no Rom i cant get USB debugging to use "adb reboot recovery" . Is there anyway that i can get into recovery or a way to flash stock recovery, system and such. thanks in advance.

Have tried an ruu? I suggest using the sdcard method. Safest.

No you don't need to lock bl. Or need stock recovery, That's outdated info.
Sure:
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.

Absolutely. Are you soff or son?
If son Id have to double check about locking bl but I'm quite sure that's very old info, and ruu has the stock recovery and just overwrites w.e you have
And soff you 100% don't need to mess w anything.
I'm soff/locked bl and flash ruu all the time. :good:
HTC website may even have directions but not sure.
RUU wiil wipe internal ste

Oh shoot I was thinking backwards, sorry. You need be stock ruu to turn from soff to son.
You can flash ruu np son, but it must match your cid/mid - Carrier ID / Mosel ID.

well its like a brick now anyway, im not sure if i did the CID "111111" , something like that a long time ago. well ill see what i can do, thanks for all your help

That's "SuperCID" and iirc you need soff to achieve, I have it as well set to that. It allows you to flash any ruu to your device.
Very welcome, mention me if you are in need of anything else.

so i just tried "fastboot flash zip ruu.zip" and got security error , so i did "fastboot oem lock" but now i cant lock the bootloader cuz i cant press power to confirm, i will try to put it on the SD card and try to see if it'll auto flash. but other than that any other ideas? just for educational know how, im planning on ordering new a new power/vol flex cable anyway.

Dang yea I think you did f need the vol for SD method... Shoot.
But you don't need to lock bl..
That's not correct line: you need to be in rebootRUU mode.
I'm just gunna copy and paste this from vzw thread, applies to all.
"Option 1
Download the RUU.zip file. Rename the zip file to 2PS6IMG.zip (being careful that you have file extensions turned on, or are aware that it could be renamed to 2PS6IMG.zip.zip, which is bad) Copy 2PS6IMG.zip to root of a physical SD formatted to fat32 or exfat! No internal storage!
Reboot phone to download mode and follow prompts once RUU is detected by phone.
Option 2
EXE option. Download EXE file below (for windows) and simply double click to start. You can either be booted to OS with USB debugging enabled OR booted into download mode for this to start.
Option 3
Fastboot RUU mode . This method assumes you have a working ADB/Fastboot directory on your PC. Download RUU zip file and place in your working fastboot/adb directory. Boot your phone to download mode and connect to PC. Issue the following commands.
htc_fastboot oem rebootRUU
###while in this mode your phone will display an HTC logo on the screen
htc_fastboot flash zip 2PS6IMG.zip
##while in this mode you will see an HTC logo on the screen and a green status bar across the bottom of the screen. When command output ##completes it may say reboot required to flush etc... if that's the case issue a "htc_fastboot reboot-bootloader" command and restart option 1 again.
## assuming flash completes and no further flushing/reboots are requested from the cmd output you can now reboot IF you simply wish to reboot the system you can issue "htc_fastboot reboot" which will reboot system.
## expect a good 5 minute plus first boot!"
