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

WINDOWS is also ok!
SO How do i get in the sdk?? I am a newb, sry...
What if i root again with unrevoked an let it install cwm and mount it over that??
Or can i install a ruu, would this one work??

So i install sdk, then connect fastboot (do i need a driver? ) and then start cmd... and then??
Or is this sdk a Program, which i can start and it starts a Terminal??

And hiw can i install apps from market without the sd carf, because it doesnt work as you know...??

I'm having similar problems, SD card won't mount when in phone either in recovery or normal.
The SD card can be seen when in a USB reader in the PC
I've followed your instructions below and they exectued OK, but I still can't see the SD Card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

No SD Card/USB, execept from bootloader (kernel boots: board_hero.disable_sdcard=1)

Major problem as a result of an unsuccessful attempt to permanently installing the recovery image.
The result is that Android now reports that the SD card is not present (I've tried 3 different cards), and the USB mode allowing adb is no longer available – the USB interface is not recognised (except from the bootloader).
I can flash stock firmwares from my SD card using Hboot or from RUU packages using USB by manually booting the bootloader, thus the interfaces themselves are working.
I have attempted to clean wipe the entire device, updating/downgrading and even installing the newest 2.73.405.5 ROM did not resolve this issue.
I have not found anyone reporting the same problem. I am running out of ideas and could really need some help/advice on how to resolve this. Especially if someone have a better understanding of how android is booted and how the symlinks and devices are created. I am a long time Linux user, but without the ability to use the recovery image/adb, USB or SD card to patch or inspect I am currently experiencing some difficulty investigating this further.
Update:
I've done some more digging and I think I have found the problem, however I don't know how to correct it.
Dmesg shows my kernel command as:
board_hero.disable_uart3=1 board_hero.usb_h2w_sw=1 board_hero.disable_sdcard=1 smisize=32 androidboot.baseband=6.35.06.18 androidboot.cid=HTC__Y13 androidboot.carrier=HTC-Nor androidboot.mid=HERO10000 androidboot.keycaps=qwerty androidboot.mode=normal androidboot.serialno=HT97ML906986 androidboot.bootloader=1.76.0007 no_console_suspend=1 console=null
it also lists:
trout: SD-Card interface disabled
and as a result /dev/block/vold/179:1 is never created and not mounted.
Is there a way to correct the kernel command line, or do I need to wait for a S-OFF Hboot firmware to have possibly correct this?
Same problem here. Nobody who knows how to solve this???
Can you still boot images using fastboot?
like: fastboot boot <recovery-image-name>
Also, which HBOOT version does it display?

It's showing HBOOT version 1.76.0004
I can still boot a recovery image but when i selcet update.zip, any zip or nanroid backup it's saying "Can't mount sdcard".
Another very big problem is that the device can't read any sd cards even when i have booted android normaly. It's always showing that no sd card is plugged in.
Really strange. Your cmdline say HBOOT is 1.76.0007 and your bootscreen 1.76.0004.
You can alter the commandline from fastboot though.
Try something like this:
fastboot -c "board_hero.disable_uart3=0 board_hero.usb_h2w_sw=0 board_hero.disable_sdcard=0 no_console_suspend=1 console=null" boot cm-hero-recovery.img
It only appends to the commandline though, but it's worth a shot.
For reference I give you my full booted cmdline if it is of any use.
# cat /proc/cmdline
board_hero.disable_uart3=0 board_hero.usb_h2w_sw=0 board_hero.disable_sdcard=0 smisize=32 androidboot.baseband=6.35.06.18 androidboot.cid=HTC__Y13 androidboot.carrier=HTC-Nor androidboot.mid=HERO10000 androidboot.keycaps=qwerty androidboot.mode=normal androidboot.serialno=HT<removed> androidboot.bootloader=1.76.0004 no_console_suspend=1 console=null
I'm pretty sure there is some way to configure the HBOOT, do you remember want exactly went wrong/what you did when flashing the recovery?
Thanks for your help but i have maked a big mistake in the meantime. I have flashed the new rom with ruu. Now it' showing HBOOT 1.76.0007 and i can't load the recovery image. Still it's showing me that there is no sd card.
The commandline that you have written doesn't works because of this. Nothing with fastboot works at the moment becouse of HBOOT 1.76.0007.
Do you know how to get back to 1.76.0004 or how to load fastboot with HBOOT 1.76.0007???
Edit: I have just saw your answer on the other post. I will give it a try. Thanks for your help.
It isn't possible to flash the old HBOOT because i can't access the sd card. Is there a way to enable the sd card without recovery or is there a way to flash the old HBOOT without sd card???
So can the recovery flasher APK not flash without a SD card?
If not, how about tricking it into thinking the sdcard (when booted up) is there by mounting /data then symlinking /sdcard to a dir on /data?
P
I don't know if i can flash the apk recover without sd card. That's why i am asking for how to make this.
How can i trick on booting up? Do you know where i can find a tutorial or something like that?
Can you help me please?

Can anbody tell me how to do this?
I think I have the same problems.
See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4547286
I can't use USB during normal Hero operation (so no option to mount SD card).
I can't use adb. If I do adb devices adb returns with none.
The 2 above are in conjunction with Windows (7 x64, but with correct drivers, it worked before) not recognizing the usb device.
I CAN however go into bootloader (power+back button) and use the fastboot command.
So what I do to flash stuff is physically pulling the sd card from my phone and putting it in my pc (via adapter of course) , copying the necessary files onto sd card and then putting the card back into the phone.
What I still want to try is flashing Amon Ra's recovery permanently and therefore you have to use a adb shell command (adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/Recovery-RA-HERO-v1.2.2.img).
I will try to use a terminal on the Hero itself (Better Terminal Emulator Pro) for this command or otherwise use the program FlashRec.apk, thus circumventing the need for adb at all I hope.
I have the same problem, It was working perfectly, then all of a sudden the computers wouldnt recognize the phone anymore (Unrecognized USB). I was speaking to HTC about it who told me to send the unit back for service/repair.
I will send it back to HTC tomorrow and it will take about 2-3 weeks till I get it back again. I will post a report here on what they did to it.

[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.
Ok ill finnish my post here...
thanks for response btw
anyway I dont have a card reader is there no way to flash from my computer?

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:\Users>cd..
C:\>cd android-sdk-windows\tools
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot devices
/fastboot devices returns HT061PL00341

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)

OK mate... but if you want DHD, are you aware that you can have these ROMs running on the Desire? They were ported over and contain the same new Sense UI with the Advanced Power Hibernation option, etc.

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.
you sir are my HERO everything got reinstalled, weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I´m 100% back to stock right?
no S-OFF no superuser ?
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).

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.

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

anyway long story short, my phone wont get past bootloader. i can still get to recovery, but that does not help much as i get about 1 minute before it restarts if i plug it into my pc when in this mode, unless i format the system.

I thought maybe trying to re-root my desire using unrevoked, if that would have been an option, with the latest Clockwork recovery, but it will not find my phone in fastboot. However after a few attempts of plugging in my phone ,AMDesire Recovery finds my phone and can get it to wipe the dalvic cache, sd:ext partition, create a partition, try to wipe sd:ext partition and it says "error : run 'wipe ext' via adb.
I thought at looking at the DeBricking page on here, but that seems a lot of code, and when trying to find the right downloads i to even enter all that code i have got myself a bit lost.
any help whatssoever, would be greatful,
also i apologise for this if it is in the wrong forum but as i am pretty much a new user, i am unable to post in many places.

Like what the other replies said, this is, most likely, a USB brick.
Try this command in fastboot mode: "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0"
Search in the forums to set up ADB/fastboot properly in your PC.

In order to install Android SDK you need JRE. You do not have to install all the software available in SDK you have only to download the tools.

This reads to me like you have a corrupt Ext...did you attempt to flash any alignment.zip before this happened?? Every time I try to flash an alignment, I also get this error message...hence I don't bother anymore...
My suggestion is to remove your SD and place in a card reader, then format your Ext using GParted. When you boot to recovery again, all should be sweet.
Just a thought.
dont use any EXT partition at this stage.. format ur sd card with single FAT32 partition and then try
Thanks to all of you trying to help me, I think i may need to mention that my phone does not seem to be able to read any sd card, not just the one i was using, tried my 16 gb, 8 gb, and 4gb. same message comes up.
going to try gparted later, and also have another go at creating gold card (what driver should be on set for this to work, Androidbootloader or MY HTC ? )
hopefully by the end of tonight i will have a working phone .

this is an usb brick, you should install android sdk, go into cmd
1. type in cd C:/android-sdk-windows/tools atleast if you have it there
go into hboot, press fastboot and connect your phone to your pc, it should say fastboot usb. then enter fastboot enable etc..(this enables the sd card read ability) after that go to the link i gave you, flash the update.zip and ur usb brick is gone,
easy as that
this sounds too simple and i still am having problems, do i not need a gold card?
Command prompt and typing in the commands you say, i continue to get an error message saying deice not found, seriously, i bet i am doing one thing wrong.. that's too simple to notice?!?!
i've never heard that you need a goldcard for a usb brick, it may sound dumb but have you installed htc sync? if so uninstall it and i you haven't install and uninstall for the drivers, usually a usb brick is solved in 4-5min, so maybe you missed out something, because when i had my first usb-brick i entered adb shell-.- you just have to type the command in once
just tried same on my notebook, no htc sync installed , Still Says error : device not found. am guessing i am pretty much screwed.
not got my hopes up too high just yet, but i think it's actually looking up a bit now, conected to phone, typed in the commands given, it can read sd card, installed update.zip. now i dunno if i should go back to backup, or try install everything again,
Thanks so much guys

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.

Thanks
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.
