I have a Bricked Desire seeking help - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

you didnt get me apparently - it IS that simple
fastboot oem eraseconfig
fixes misc partition, and USB-Brick
only prerequisite is to be S-OFF

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

Hi
Maybe giving a bit more detail about what happened to get the usb/sd bricked would help people to reply you
My device is connected to the PC does not recognize the Android and the recovery. currently no driver error: "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM"
(Sorry for my English which should not be used goolge translate)
Do you have ROOT??
I unbricked my Desire yesterday so I know how to do it (only with ROOT).
Just download the correct RUU for your region from one of the post in this forum. Connect the USB cable, run the RUU exe and it flash your phone back to the OTA ROM.
I was put on the original room and then proceed boot, successfully run the STEP1, STEP2, but to the error can not enter the recovery

But USB Brick is not resolved and my phone no longer root how can I do? I tried unsuccessfully Z4 root, is there another software to root without USB?

Hi, I had the Same Problems some Minutes ago. (I was using the new AmonRA Recovery to flash a new ROM).
Here are the Steps what I have done to solve my problem (Rooted ROM is required):
1.) Download Android SDK -> Then open a comand Line and change into the Tools Directory:
cd path\to\AndroidSDK\tools
2.) You need to know your CID.
Turn your Phone into fastboot mode (Pressing Back and Power On). Then in your Comand Line do:
fastboot oem boot
The log will say something like the following:
CODE
.
.
.
#INFOCID is T-Mob101
In this specific case, the CID is T-Mob101.
3.) Get and extract the the attached Rescue.zip File.
Open the File "misc.img" in a hex Editor of your Choice and change "T-MOB101" to your CID
3.) Turn your Phone again into fastboot mode (Pressing Back and Power On) then go to your Command Line and do:
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 (This will enable your SD Card to be seen in your favorite explorer on your phone)
then "Reboot"
4.) Then get the two files to your SD-Card (email them or dropbox them or what ever).
5.) Open a Terminal Emulator (http://www.appbrain.com/app/android-terminal-emulator/jackpal.androidterm) on our Phone
enter:
su (Enter to get Superuser Rights)
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image (this will copy the file to /data, therefore you need root!)
cat /sdcard/misc.img > /data/misc.img (this will copy the file to /data, therefore you need root!)
chmod 755 /data/flash_image (this makes the file "flash_image" executable)
/data/flash_image misc /data/misc.img (this will execute flash_image the result will be that you overwrite your misc section)
Reboot.
Everything should be ok
Ok this is a bit weird cos my usb got bricked yesterday too but a lot of searching i have managed to get it sorted. i lost root too so used this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9056719&postcount=15 its similar to the above but for people who have lost root.
I've already re rooted and back on my leedroid2.2b
Guys can i just ask if your usb got bricked after you s-offed your desire and upgraded to the new amon ra recovery
I "S-OFF'ed" my Device some Time ago without any Problems. Today I flashed the new AmonRA via Unrevoked. Everthing went fine. After Flashing a new ROM (Oxygen) i had the mentioned USB/SD-Card Problem.
I was able to access my Device via Fastboot and get into Recovery but my SD Card was not able to be mounted anymore. (Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)).
Also i was stuck in a Bootloop after the "S-OFF Bootlogo".
After "fixing" the SD Card Problem, i was able to Boot the new Rom, access the SD Card via FIle Explorer, but my Device was not recognized properly while connected via USB. Something like "unrecognized Quallcom Device" Driver not found.
Yeah i had similar experience i had i flashed new amon ra via fastboot then backed up my leedroid2.2b rom via rom manager just cos i could rename it easily then booted into amon ra wiped and flashed latest leedroid. On the reboot it decided to reboot on the spalsh screen a few times and then the boot animation started when i booted i realised i had sd problem but wasn't aware of usb so ended up going the long way around

You have to enter those ****s into a terminal emulator, grab one from the market. Remember to run the command "su" before anything else. Good luck...
wouldnt that require to have these files @ SD card ?
i cannot get them to sdcard, usb-bricked and no card-reader...

you can still send&receve mail or file sharing over wifi (file expert) di the job
didnt think bout that, and its so obvious (over mail)
anyway, turns out that if you are S-OFF and get USB-BRICK you just need to do:
fastboot oem enable qxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
and that is it.
this Tutorial really should be updated.

Remove the card and try to connect it to PC using the microSD card reader.
Don't worry too much! But yeah, take it out, connect it to your PC (through a card reader or whatever) and see if it recognises it. Hopefully this is the case.
If not, you might have to reformat it... but please don't do this just yet! Wait a few more posts and see if anyone else has a bit more experience on the matter
Sure ... Its only on the phone ...
If i flash ruu via pc... root will be gone, but does sd card work then??
Do u have Android sdk installed if so u need to do two fastboot commands as it sounds like u have usb brick n stops Ur SD card from bein mounted
Once u have sdk installed use these commands
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot oem eraseconfig
U need the device in fastboot then on MAC
Open cmd type fastboot then the two commands
But make sure Ur sdk path is correct else cmd won't find the location
Hope this help pal
Ps I don't have MAC this is the way for windows

Aha - sorted it myself!
I checked out another SD card and it worked fine. So I put my (broken) SD card into my old Hero and it was recognised OK... Strange I thought as I expected it not to work.
As it was visible from the Hero, I was then allowed by ROM Manager to Partition it. Can't remember exact values but it was approx 512 & 0.
Once this had been completed, and although it had problems mounting on reboot to perform the partition, it seemed to work.
After re-installing it in my Desire I was able to use the SD card both from the phone and recovery.
Thinking back, the problem arose when I flashed the EXT4 Align Flashable.zip as part of my planned move to InsertCoin CM7/A2SD+ STABLE. I'd flashed the EXT4 zip, but my SD card was not then visible to flash the ROM.
Perhaps someone more knowledgeable might correct me, but I think I should've partitioned my SD card prior to flashing, but there was little info on this procedure.
Anyway, hopefully my fix may help someone else out there and I'm now running my planned aforementioned ROM.
Cheers,
Rob.

need to flash but phone not detecting SD card

Hi,
I needed to flash a ROM onto my phone (prev using leedroid), however as I was going about this process (after I had backed everything up using clockworkmod recovery, and begun wiping), the phone stopped detecting my SD card
this card had been working fine for well over a year before. now error in recovery is something like E: unable to mount xxxx
it is detected using SD card reader on computer, and I have tried re-partitioning it to no avail
now the phone can boot into recovery and also the rom, but the SD card isnt detected in either, and neither now is the SIM card.
normally I would search extensively for a solution myself before posting, but I have done as much as I can, in my current situation I have no WIFI, only an internet dongle with very slow connection.
currently I assume that there is a problem with the radio but I have not had experience flashing this without using SD card in recovery
also, due to the risks involved with flashing radio, I would prefer to try to flash a new rom first, but again I have no experience flashing a new rom without SD card in recovery.
I have adb installed on my computer but not much experience using it.
Sorry for all this, but I am not the kind of guy who flashes roms regularly, the last time I did it was a while ago, and cant really remember how I rooted in the first place (I think I used unrevoked) - therefore uncertain of S-off status - although not sure what the significance of this is
please help i dont know what to do
thanks
This is what you need to do (instructions I wrote for myself in case I ever broke it again) :-
To gain access to SD card:
Put phone into fastboot mode (back button + power)
In CMD, go to dir C:\Android\android-sdk\Tools
Type: path C:\Android\android-sdk\Platform-tools)
Input "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
You'll need the Android SDK and once installed (along with the updated USB drivers that are available in the updates it finds) I discovered that 'Fastboot' was in a different directory to ADB so attempting to run Fastboot failed as it couldn't find ADB. My cure was to create a path to the ADB directory (as listed above). Be sure to change the path and directories to wherever you install them.
Alternatively (and far easier) search for 'Android Flasher' which is available on these forums. This has fastboot and adb installed in the same directory and is a much, much smaller download and run the above command from a CMD prompt from the directory that fastboot and adb reside in wherever you install Android Flasher to. I've never tried it this way but no reason why it shouldn't work and far easier than getting the whole SDK thing!
Yep confirmed, Android Flasher will do it. A quick search should find the program, it's a very small download compared to downloading the Android-SDK (and the Java runtime module it requires). Simply change directory in CMD to c:\your android flasher dir\data directory and run that command from there with the phone plugged in and running fastboot, fixed.
Here you go :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638&highlight=android+flasher
Ignore the S-Off bit, that's to do with the functions of the flasher itself, we're not actually using that.
thanks so much guys, that sorted the problem right out (used AndroidFlasher)
after reflashing the ROM, the problems with the SIM went away, so no need to flash new radio!
Guys same problem here
I backed up, I changed my sd card to an 32gb, restored but then i had the "Can’t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" problem
I solved the problem with your solution (fastboot oem enableqxdm 0) then full wipe then reinstall rom
But now windows can't see my device. On my phone there is no popup menu to ask me what do i want to do when i connect the usb plug
Also, in recovery, i choose mount USB storage but windows dont see my ds card (4gb or 32gb cards)
What is the problem?
ps
when i connect to windows, device driver installation says: device driver software was not successfully installed.
It also listes "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM No driver found" 3 times
Check if it's working with another sd card.

I'm afraid you have what is known as a USB brick, the fact that it asks for the Qualcomm drivers confirms it. Do a search on the forum, there is a fix for it.

I've given you a 'thanks' also for replying to mine. It's a bad road to go down with the USB brick but it's something that everyone playing with rom's should experience as it educates you so much when things go wrong!
Glad you sorted it m8.

[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
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

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.

WOW! Amazing. I messed with this for hours and hours and did search after search, but did not locate the suggested fix above, but flashed and WAA-LAA!!
It worked like a charm.
