[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.

HC Desire bricked?

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.

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] Virtuous Unity update not working G2

So im a noob at this stuff so i guess i kinda f***** myself here. I was using Virtuous Unity, then the 1.24.0 update came out. I did a full wipe and installed via clockwork recovery, I got boot loops. I try going to bootloader to get into recovery but i cant get to it because it keeps scanning for a radio i was about to flash. How can i connect my phone to my cpu to delete the radio? This has been frustrating me for hours. Any help would be greatly apreciated!

Same Problem here!

Do you still have the PC10IMG.zip on your sd card? If so, just take out the card, pop it into a computer with a card reader, delete the file, then boot into the bootloader. You should be able to get into CWM recovery by holding the camera + power buttons together though.

I had the same problem, regarding booting. Seams that my zip file vas corrupt.
Downloaded it again. copyed it to my sd card (clockwork sd mount), deleted the corrupt one (I should have known - it was way 2 small). did recower from sd bootet - and its working like a dream

So I just found another sd card and did the whole process from scratch. Guess the download from the virtuous site was corrupted :/ redownloaded it and its working great! Htc watch and reader are working now, i love it

boot loops on unity 2.39
im having the same annoying boot loops even at unity 2.39, is there a solution to this problem yet ?

[Q] HTC Desire Z Won't Boot After Rom Update

So I went to android.madaco and used their online kitchen to download a custom rom for my desire z. I have also done this for my nexus s and it worked great. However when I installed the rom on my desire z it froze for 2 days. I finally pulled the battery and now it won't boot. When I first turn it on I get the white HTC screen forever. So I pull the battery and turn it on again while holding the volume down button. I have tried both factory reset and recovery. When I hit either of these it takes me to a clockworkmod recovery v3.0.2.4 screen. I get several choices here. Apply update from sd card, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, install zip from sd card, backup and restore, mounts and storage, advanced and power off. So I tried to install zip from sd card and it does nothing at all it just shows me the clockworkmod symbol and freezes forever. I also pulled the sd card and formatted it and put only the rom on it and it does nothing any different.

Sounds to me like you have a bad download. Delete the rom zip you have now and redownload it, also be sure and check the md5 sums (google 'md5 checker' and you can get a utility to check).

If you can get to your engineering bootloader, try to Fastboot the latest CWM recovery then go into that image to flash a different ROM.

I deleted the file on the sd card and redownloaded it. Samething so I downloaded a rom from cyanogenmod and same thing. it is almost as if it can not detect the sd card. I have formatted the sd card now but no change. The sd card is empty now. Any other ideas very much appreciated.

Did you try a different card?

Are you using the power button or track pad to make your choices? Either way you have to make choices with the track pad.

I bought a new sd card and still the same thing. It is as if i need to delete what is in the actual phone. Because it does the same thing even if I have no sd card. It defaults to clockworkmod for some reason. Any ideas much much appreciated.

So are you or are you not able to boot in to recovery? Kinda confused. You said that you tried but no luck but then you rebooted and did a clear storage. So were you able to boot in to recovery the second time? If you can, do a full wipe and try flashing a different rom. You can download one to your PC, boot in to recovery, enable the usb drive, push the file to your phone and flash.

Ummm sorry for the confusion .... I'm talking about I held the volume down and power button to get to the screen I believe it's "bootloader" and tried to select recovery so maybe I can do a backup to wen it previously worked but no luck cause the phone wasnt reading the sd card with the backup on it! So I went back to the "bootloader" and did a "clear storage" it worked but the phone took forever to come on.... I did that about 2 times when the phone wouldnt boot pass the htc screen but now it no lingers works doing that! And to answer you guys question no I'm not able to boot in recovery just to bootloader with the options
Fast boot
Recovery
Clear storage
Reboot
USB hboot
If you guys are still confused let me know I will explain further more the phone will not access recovery at All!

As asked... what recovery did you load? Amon_RA or CWM? Also, what HW version do you have?

O I'm very sorry.... CMW
Hw info:
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version 2.15.00.0808
Kernel version: [email protected] #1 Sat apr 30 04:36:42 edt 2011
Build number: MIUIAndroid 7.29
And to answer your previous question I don't know how to install a new recovery thru hboot .... I hope this helps you

If you can get to your sd card via a card reader to load a new recovery, then follow the steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026. Otherwise, try this first to see if you can at least get sd access again: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243

Ok will try how do I get a card reader?

If you are on a laptop, most recent ones will have a slot for it and may even have the dock/reader to place it in. You can also get an external one that connects via USB at Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Radio Shack. Basically anywhere that sells SD cards. Usually around the camera section. You can also check tigerdirect.com or newegg.com if you can wait to receive it via mail. They usually have bargains that you can take advantage of. If this is your primary phone, then go to a store to get one so you can get your phone working.

Or if you can't get your hands on a card reader, you could stick your card in a different phone (old phone, friends phone, neighbors phone, phone at sprint store, whatever). Then download amonRa recovery from xda (download the PC36IMG version of it). Move it to the root of SD card (i.e. NOT in any folder) using some sort of file explorer on the borrowed phone.
Then put card back into your Evo, boot into bootloader (using power and volume down method you used earlier).
Bootloader should scan your card, find the PC36IMG, and ask if you want to do the update.
Hope this helps.

Ok thank you I'm going to do it in the morning will this still work for me even thou my phone won't read my sd card??

Your hboot/bootloader should still read your SD card fine. Unique problem, but should read fine. You remember which hboot version you have?
sent from AOKP heaven

No but I'll find out of you tell me how to

Well, not really necessary to know, unless you're trying to use some fastboot commands. But, you said you CAN still get into bootloader by holding volume and pressing power, right? Once in bootloader, it will say your hboot info in upper left corner.
In any case, follow the above info about getting recovery as a PC36IMG onto your SD somehow, and boot into bootloader. Good luck. Report back.
