[Q] How to save my Desire HD, no ROM. - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay guys. I just made the stupidest thing on earth. I had to root my Desire HD, and to press "format" system, when I remember that there is no ROM on which I can flash. :-( So now the phone only shows the white screen with HTC logo ..
What should I do? I do not have to use Micro SD card since I do not have a convorter. : - /
Hope you can help, otherwise I stand with a piece of useless electronics.

Do you have clockwork mod recovery?
If yes, just toggle usb storage from there and you can transfer it from pc.

Help - Evo not visible as usb drive

I've tried this on 2 different pc's now (both Win7 x64) and installed HTC sync to get the driver as well. On the phone I choose 'connect as usb drive'. The phone shows up as a drive letter but with no media detected.
The phone is rooted and running Myn's WarmZ.
Go into your recovery and try enabling it from there

Do you mean usb-ms toggle? When I enable it I get a prompt 'usb enable. Press power to disable and return to menu', and there's no way to go back without disabling it again. This is with Amon Ra 2.3.
I thought that was only for transferring files while in recovery?
Its the same as mounting the sd while the phone is booted. Do your files show up when u mount in recovery?
Yeah. You're trying to transfer files.. right? Use HTC sync provided on your sdcard somewhere
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
This happened to me once, a long time ago. Apparently, the phone doesn't like it when you change the name of the SD card. If you did something similar, change it back.
That's about the one thing I can think of off the top of my head.

[Q] Help with Virtuous Unity

I've been trying to flash the Rom onto my phone, however every time I try It goes through all the install processes and says that is complete, but when I reboot the system it shows me the HTC Splash screen goes black shows me the splash screen again and then throws me back into Clockwork. I have cleared the cache and did a factory reset. So does anyone know what could be the problem?
I had the same problem... you actually need th DZ h-boot..
Im currently changin the boot but im having a problem with it.. ill let you know how it goes after im done with this problem.
I found something about the DZ H-Boot, but I have no Idea how to use ADK to get it on my phone, is there a guide that doesn't assume you know how to use it, or a way to do it without ADK?
www.virtuousrom.com
read it. follow directions.
to learn more about the SDK, check the wiki. there's a complete guide on how to install/set up your computer for ADB push.
I searched all over the wiki and can not find anything about setting up for a ADB Push.
just Google it or Bing it or duck it . there are guides all over the internet for different platforms .

You don't necessarily need ADB to flash the DZ hboot to the G2 I tried this method and it worked flawlessly...
Credit to codemonkey10 for the step by step process..
You need the DZ H-Boot... the rom wont run or install unless you have it. here is how to install it on your phone (guessing its a g2) without having to use adb... (and here is the dz hboot download... http://files.virtuousrom.com/vision/misc/PC10IMG.zip)
Do a full nandroid backup before any of this, and you will need an sd card reader....
Download the h-boot and move it to the root of your sd card.
Turn the phone off and turn it back on by holding volume down and power.
You’ll be ask if you want to update, press volume up to proceed.
After your done you be asked press power to reboot, press it.
You should will see the white HTC screen, wait 5-10 seconds then pull battery.
Pull sd card out of phone, and place in a card reader.
Delete the PC10IMG file (dz hboot) and put the sd card back in the phone.
Then hold volume down and power to go to bootloader
Once in bootloader go to recovery
Do not wipe anything because the new h-boot wiped everything
In recovery go to install zip from sd card
Then, choose zip from sd card
Find the Virtuous Unity Rom in the sd card.
Choose it and wait for it to install
Once it is finished choose reboot now.

Thanks csuf, instead of using an Micro SD Reader (because I don't have one) I used my old Sidekick Slide, and it worked perfectly

Did i bricked my phone?

Pleas someone help me.
I have curently no rom instaled.
I m stuck in recovery and i can t conect my pc with my desire.
everything was working normal before, and i wanted to instal new rom , so i deleted the old one and now i can t conect to pc and instal new rom.
When i plug the cable while phone is of the red light comes it means that it is charging so the cable is working.
when i go to recovery red light stops and i can t conect with pc it was working before and now it is not.
Did i bricked my phone?
i know i m in wrong post and multiposting but i nead this fixed now.
i nead to use phone now, i can t wait to buy adapter
I think you're asking this in the wrong place mate, either way, here goes my help lol.
If the cable is connected to the computer, you should have a recovery menu, on "Advanced" or "Mount" (not sure now) you have a "mount usb "option, that way you'll be able mount usb drive on your computer and move the new rom there. Next, you can flash it

i have try that it is not working
You have selected "mount usb" on that same menu? No drive showing up on Windows? Even hidden one? (you can check under control panel - administrative tools - computer management - disks and see if there's nothing there, sometimes they aren't mapped).
You can also try to use a usb card reader and read the sdcard elsewhere.
There's a way to do these kind of stuff, either way, your device is far from "bricked", you just have no rom.
Ext recovery (a different recovery from CWM) could help you in this scenario as well, but I don't have much experience with those as well.
Ask the question under "Q/A" on the same Desire thread, I'm sure someone will come up with a working resolution for you
Good luck.
LoL ?
U have recovery -> Good
1. Turn of phone
2. Open it
3. Remove Battery
4. Remove SDCARD
5. Plug SD to PC (adapters are cheap , and 90% new laptops have crd readers)
6. copy desired rom on SD
7. Boot recovery , vipe all , install room , reboot.

if u dont have anything valuable on SD , try reformat it from recovery and than mount it.

By the looks of it, CWM.
On the other hand, I think he died because he didn't fix it on time
Jokes aside, I was once with his panic. Lucky enough I found an adapter lying around.
So I guess it worked out somehow for you Petaa?
i don t know whay but my pc sometimes recognise phone and sometimes don t , most of the time i can t conect pc with phone.
It was not like this before.

Help to recovery phone

Hi, I was trying to make some free space on my Desire, and now I have a phone that, I can't boot. I can only get into AlphaRev Unlock or what it is called.
Long time ago I followed this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Desire_(GSM):_Full_Update_Guide
and today I installed simple2ext (after reading some threads in here), to try to gain more space, as I was running very low on internal memory.
I moved the dalvik cache and the applications to sd card, and the phone asked for a restart. Thats where I'm stuck now.
The phone just keeps hanging at the HTC boot logo, but if I hold "vol. down" + power button I can get into AlphaRev Unlock. But now I don't know what to do.
I hope someone out there can help me, as I seriously need my phone to be working.
- have you done a nand-backup?
- did you save your apps (for example with titanium backup)?
- do you have an ext3 or ext4 partition on your sd-card?
I would recommend a full-wipe (cache+dalvik)!! (you will lose your data if you did not do a backup!!!!!!!!!!!)

How do I do that? At this point, I don't give a rats a.. for my data. If I can't boot the phone, my data is lost anyway.
Turn off ur phone then hold volume down + power. Then using volume buttons to move up or down the menu, select recovery and press power button to select and wipe options r there in recovery

Well if I select recovery, all it does is to go into "fastboot usb"
R you s-on?

Yes
Ok go to Desire Q&A/ Stickies (first post) and thats bortak's troubleshooting guide. Go down to [2] s-on, and follow that.

Great that worked, though it was a little strange, as I allready tried that RUU (but another file), and it failed.
Well, now I got a worked phone again.
Can you recommend a guide to properly rooting my phone, so I can full backup and so?
Even if I made an ext partition on the memory card, it seemed like most apps where installed on the internal memory.
Glad it worked
There is a guide in Desire Android development, 3 r 4 posts down. (stickies)

MildWild7?

put it in the root of your sd card (not in any folder)
how & where is this as it look like its just downloaded into a download folder not into root so didn't work when I flashed the rom part one
It simply means, you put in on your sdcard but not in any folder of that sdcard, just copy of from your download folder to the main "sdcard" directory. (root)
You say you have problem when flashing it, can you be more specific? You end up in bootloop or... ?
You really need to follow the MildWild's instructions.
1.Full Wipe
2.Flash part1
3.Complete reboot(that means, you let the phone boot up, dont try to restart it to recovery)
4.Let it settle for a few minutes
5.Reboot into recovery
6.Flash part2(DONT WIPE ANYTHING before flashing part2)
7.Reboot and enjoy.

Check your Downloads folder in root or connect USB to PC and check for recent updated folders:good:
I'm not aware of any problems installing from the downloads directory, I do it myself

Anyone else having the app crash when you go to the mildwild-settings-notification area energy saver (don't know what the correct english term for that is, using the german rom at t he moment) and try to open the menu for possible display brightness settings?
Not a huge problem, but if it happens for everyone, it'd be a small bug
Settings> display> brightness works fine for me
