HELP!!! yes , its that bad and frustrating for me.
What happened?
I installed the latest CM7#218, and the phone never was able to restart. It was giving the '3-5 vibrates' symptom. After managing to get into recovery mode, i couldnt see anything from SD card. I later erased and reformatted the sd card but to no use.
In detail:
1. Installed CM7#218.
2. phone restart gives 3-5 vibrate symptom, cant even get into recovery mode.
3. tried factory reset , sd card reformat,repair from windows but doesnt help.
4. only when i unplug the device, power on or when i click on recovery mode, and while on the HTC splash screen, if I connect charger, ONLY then i can get into recovery mode or start the base CM7 OS.
5. in recovery mode i cannot see card , tried all possible mounts/unmounts. thus unable to restore any backups
6 when the base OS boots, (using point#4 above), i still cannot see sd card, nor able to format from phone. in file manager i can see my internal storage. But the phone does not give me any usb mount option , so cannot even view the internal memory from windows.
7. referred to the following thread and many other options etc, but doesnt work.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/
the adb shell does not detect my device, tried using 'PDANET' ' ends with 'cannot handshake with device'. tried installing droidexplorer, cannot see my device in the refresh list.
8. Thus as it stands now, i cannot use my internal as well external memory, the web downloads wont go, saying cannot see any memory, same for camera, it cannot see any memory available to it.
9. have already tried N number of restarts, connect disconnect and battery pulls.
10. tried even running the unrevoked, but it cannot connect to device.
11. tried installing all possible drivers as well.
12. its surely not bricked cuz i can use the base OS, and get into recovery through #4 tactics.
HELP!!
Have you seen this?
http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=33
Firstly my sdb shell is nto detecting the device..."error: device not found"
my device manager show "ADB INTERFACE -> HTC BOOTLOADER" and there are no warning icons aroind any other devices, so driver seems to be fine.
You need to install the adb drivers on your pc. It should say adb composite device. I believe you get them from the android sdk.
ok now that i was playing around from recovery..i ended up formatting everything...even boot....so now i no longer get the base OS...the moment i power on my device it automatically goes into hboot...
So, as per the link you shared. it says my phone need to be in fastboot mode...and in fastboot mode the device manager should read 'android bootloader interface'?
I did go through most of the search items initially...stumbling from one issue to another...finally it boils down to adb -device not found issue....its been 2 days and i've almost given up now...
any last minute help?
only the recover mode is working with no access to sd card,
it can access teh internal memory , but there is no way for me to copy any files to the internal memory...it doesn mount neither the adb is working
Have you tried reformating your sd fat32 with a pc, or tried a different sd card? Thats the only other thing i can sugest to try.
yes, that is the first thing i found in other forums and already tried that....
you think you have any suggestions to atleast access my internal memory , may be, from linux (i am not a linux guy but have a ubuntu live cd) so that use the option 'install zip from internal memory'
Im not sure im not much of a linux guy eithet, mabey someone who is will chime in.

This is a strange problem, I cant tell when it started but it did all of a sudden. When I try to connect my phone to my computer it all of a sudden does not recognize the device (it shows under USB in device manager as unknown device). This happens on my laptop and stationary one (XP and Windows Home Server). On my work computer and my girlfriends laptop (Windows vista) nothing happens at all. The only thing happens is my phone shows notification about HTC Sync (doesnt show the "mount SD card" option). I cant install modaco 2.x since it says it isnt signed when I try to run update.zip from "home+power" mode.
Anyone knows a solution? I really want to flash either modaco or the official HTC rom.

have you instaled HTC Sync + the Android SDK? Drivers are included, also ensure you have gone to settings > Application Settings > Development.. and selected USB Debugging in the handset
if you have done the above you should be able to...
Sync your device
Do a nandroid backup
Root your device
and flash, flash, flash
hope this helps
Thing is, all those stuff is checked. The strangest thing is that the phone doesnt even ask me if I want to mount the SD card (to make the phone like a card reader). I successfully flashed the generic rom again (so my phone is not rooted etc etc) but it still cant connect to any computer through USB (except from when in bootloader (back+power). Its really starting to bugging me since I cant transfer music to the phone anymore I tried a hard-reset, flashed a generic rom (the new one) and formatted the SD card (the phone can read and write to/from it without problems).
I've got the same problem for quite some time now and still no answers...! :-(
It seems very few people on these boards know of our exact problem and i've never seen a solution. Also not from the many people on these boards I consider guru's. :-(
I'm at a total loss here...
I will call HTC Sweden today and see if they can help me solve this issue. I will get back to this thread as soon as Ive been speaking to them. This is starting to really bugging me.
First of all, I would try reformatting your SD card on the phone itself via Menu-> SD card & Phone Storage. If you need anything on the card, you'll have to stick the SD card in adaptor and attach it to your PC directly.
Secondly, by the sounds of it you haven't flashed Cyanogens recovery image, or your HBOOT is wrong, if you are getting a problem with the signature on Modacos image. Either flash Cyanogen recovery, or follow the instructions found on another thread for restoring your HBOOT to an earlier version.

Dave

I have tried to format the SD card already, didnt help.
What would the hboot have to do with the SD card mounting? I got the original hboot .0004 or somehting like that (never touched it).
This is the complete infor from my HBOOT screen (power+back).
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0004 (HERO10000)

Should I update something? And how would that help me get USB connection to work outside fastboot? Since its only working in fastboot and not in the android system itself?
Answer from HTC:
If you are getting the 'USB Device not recognized' error in XP, then your device has a faulty USB port. You need to call our repair line to gte it booked in for repair. That really is all there is, once the hardware dies and starts giving that error, there generally is no hope apart from replacing the USB socket or the whole motherboard. best regards, HTC Europe Support
Would have been nice if they could include in this message where I should turn etc?
I had the same error when I flashed my unit with wrong radio image (newer version) without flashing system and boot images. Then I reflashed those as well and everything worked ok.

Is there any update.zip containing all those updates? and would it void my warranty? ex, would HTC be able to see any difference to the hboot etc?
Any guide you could point me to on how to update all those things?
See the following threads with people who have the same problems:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556335
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4550938
I see more and more people with this problem!
Not mine, and not any other SD I tried. I think it's broken from the phone, but I find it very strange that it happened after I did a nandroid restore. The phone rebooted from recovery and when it started all my apps were gone cause they were on ext partition. In menu>sd and phone storage the mount option isn't available, I also can't mount it from recovery and also when trying to enter "flash a zip file from sd card" it says SD not detected.
The card is working btw, I tried it on another phone and it works without problems. I removed it and put it back in but with no result as well. I'm thinking to unroot tomorrow and go to vodafone service.
Any suggestions?
it could be a usb brick... try to connect your phone via usb. Does it work? if not follow the unbrick guide here: http ://android. modaco. com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
remove blanck please... im a new user
conecting via usb works, its charging and it asks for some drivers, but usb debugging is not shown on the phone and also that menu that pops up when you connect it, that asks for charge only/disk drive and so on is also not shown but i still think its not a usb brick since it connects fine to my notebook
Sounds like a brick
you can restore SD card. For this, do 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode.
If you bluetooth/FM radio/USB disk mode doesn't work the follow this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
it usually happens if you restore an nandroid, made in Clockwork, with RA-recovery.
I tried to flash CM7 RC2 onto my phone last night. I usually do this manually, but last night I did it through Rom Manager which I think was probably my first mistake.
Anyway, the package flashed fine but after a reboot my SIM and SD card were no longer recognised. So I went into recovery (Amonra) and wiped ready to flash the update manually only to find my SD card wasn't recognised: E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk01p (No such file or directory). So, left with a phone with no ROM.
I can still get into recovery and bootloader but that's it. I've seen a few posts on here with regards to USB bricks, but my phone is no longer recognised by adb. However, I haven't accessed the phone via adb for some time now, so not sure of the reason I can't connect is my PC setup or the phone. I've got the HTC Bootloader device appearing when I plug it in via USB though.
Can anyone advise on anything I can do to sort this?
Thanks
Might be a driver issue when your in recovery. Re-install the drivers for the device using Device Manager and point windows to the driver directory within the SDK folder.
Hi chaps, I've done a lot of searching but unlike many who managed to fix theirs I fear that my Desire is dead. Did a nandroid backup and during reboot for one reason or another (likely the cheap Ebay battery) the phone rebooted a couple of times and I suspect it's corrupted the ext4 that was holding data. Phone was running Starburst 1.5 Classic with data2sd. It's also s-off.
Ok, I've read threads where people have plugged it in and using adb have managed to issue a command to have the phone re-enable the sd card. The issue I have is that adb doesn't even recognise that the phone is actually connected. I've tried this on both my PC and laptop with no joy.
I can still get into recovery and also fastboot and there must be some life as the phone recognises the USB connection when plugged into the PC but 'adb devices' gives me nothing so I therefore can't issue commands.
I have also tried putting the original firmware back on via PB99IMG.zip but since the phone's not reading the card at all that too is a dead end. It still boots to recovery and I get the 'Why so serious' logo if I try starting the phone up but I just can't get any further with it.
Anyone any ideas?
You can wipe and flash partitions and files from fastboot
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
Once you get it working, restore your nandroid to see if it's working and not corrupted by the reboot. If it's not working, you can rebuild in fastboot!
Ok, I'm doing some more reading and learning, driving me nuts this thing. Cheers.
Edit: That won't work as I cannot gain access to the phone from the PC. adb devices show nothing connected even when it clearly is.
Edit 2: C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Perhaps I'm missing something???
Sorted I think, was me being a n00b. Will post back if I manage to get it all running again.
Did you get fastboot to work and recognise your device?
Take a look at the thread I posted earlier, the command to check it is
Code:
fastboot devices
"Device driver software was not successfully installed" While trying to fastboot.
I'm attempting to flash the Color OS recovery.
Normally when the device is on I can plug it in and access the files within the phone on the internal memory / SD card.
The problem arises when I put the phone into fastboot mode and then plug the phone in I get a unsuccessfully installation method.
Whats up?
I assume I need to install a certain type of driver but i'm not sure which one. Any pointers would be really usefull.
