I already tried searching for help. Any ideas will help. Thanks!
You need to find espr.img which is stock firmware.. place that on SD card then boot into hbootloader (Dev screen) and it will try to flash it once it reads.. (hboot automatically scans for it) then we can take it from there

Thanks for responding. I don't have an adapter or a card reader, how can I get that file onto my sd card?
Use a friends laptop or something you can downlowad espr.img to the SD card

Any way to do it without using the microsd? I don't have an adapter or reader.
not sure if you solved it already, but are you rooted/can you get in cam recovery?

Hello all.
I am stupid I know. But I installed the evil nxsense HD v.0.9 on my HTC desire, didn't know it was for nexus.
So now my phone is *Edit*, I can only enter the Hboot and recovery menu, but cant restore my backup. I can also mount to usb so I can connect it to my computer.
Is there any hope, and what can i do?????
Drmalle
Boot into fastboot and flash an oficial ruu...u will need to re-root after that.
Thanks cris you just gave me hope
How will I know which ruuu rom to use, I google it, and found ALOT.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667[/url]
found some here, any of them?
Does anyone know where to get the official htc desire ruu rom in zip. I can only find RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed, and that can only work if your phone is alive..
I need the rom you can flash in recovery???
Drmalle
Boot into fastboot on phone. Run ruu on windows (with phone attached to USB)
OR
Download this:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
Rename it PB99IMG and copy it to your sd card. Then just boot the phone into HBOOT (turn on whilst holding volume down) and follow the instructions
I ran the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE in windows, and now the phone works.
So thank you everybody who helped.
BUT it cant find the sd card now, it says insert sd card. how do i fix that?
Drmalle
Take it out of the phone, format it in Windows (assuming you have a card reader and a micro to SD card adapter), put it back in phone and see if it works.
If not, it may be corrupt
Well i don't have that, can i just buy a new one and insert? or is there and other way.
Buying a new one is the quick way, but then again you could just buy/borrow a micro sd to sd adapter and use a PC with a card reader in it...
Ok thanks, im on my to my Friend
Who has a card reader, so hope it will work

I am a newbie to rooting and trying different roms. Today after trying different roms, my phone no longer identifies the sd card. I have tried almost everything but I am unsuccessful. Any help will be grateful thanks.

What rom were you on when the problem started? Do you have a card reader that you could put the sd card into, and then into your computer? Does the computer recognize the card? I would see if you can format the card with your computer, and then put the card back in the phone, and see if that helps. Just keep in mind that formatting the card will completely wipe it, so if you have any important stuff that you need saved, I'd copy it to your computer before formatting it.
Did you try just taking the card out of the phone, then putting it back in? Does the computer see the phone itself when you plug it in to the computer? If so, can you view the card from the computer when you select "disk drive"?
Dont have a card reader and I was using Mikfroyo 4.6. When I flashed back to the original rom that I have been using for the past couple of days it no longer recognizing the sd card

Strange. So the phone doesn't recognize it, nor does the computer when you plug it in via USB, correct? Do you get a green charging led when it's plugged in to the computer? Do you happen to have another phone that uses an sd card, to put your card into the other phone? If not, and you're unable to format the card using the phone, then I'd try to get a card reader. Either borrow one from a friend, or buy one. They're usually pretty cheap. If neither of those options are viable, perhaps see if you could try another sd card in your phone for a sec, if you have access to one. See the phone reads a different card. Hopefully you'll be able to try one of those options. There is a thread laying around here somewhere, by Calkulin, and it has instructions on how to fix broken sd card and / or usb port. I'll have to look for it, but I know it's around here somewhere. You may want to search for that thread.
i will look for the thread..I reset my phone but not back to stock and still unable to read the sd card
Hi guys. Another noob gone wrong ordeal. I am super newb to all things root, rom, mod and even posting in forums. So if this is posted in the wrong place, I apologize.
Quick: Rooted Incredible for about a month 1/2.
been running CM7 nightly since day one. No other mods.
Life WAS good.
Problem: I tried flashing a different rom (Uber Kingdom 3D Gingersense) I found
really detailed instructions for full wipe which included flashing VR
Superwipe/install. I followed instructions to the letter.
Booted rom let it run its course and my phone started to shut of
randomly. I tried multiple reboots, battery pulls with the same result,
only this time my phone shut off almost immediately after the reboots
and batt pulls . I even went as far as to repeat the steps. Second time
brings me here. I guess all the wiping wiped all my stuff eg: SD card
empty and i have no idea what else got wiped in the phones
storage.
FYI: I have my entire system backed up to computer and I also use dropbox and Titanium Backup. But that doesn't help when I cant get a Hboot screen or recovery. Power button + volume down button = I see a glimpse of the Hboot screen before the screen goes black again. It will not even boot normally.
Here's what I tried to do to correct this,... Placed a copy of CM7 and clockwork mod w/ gapps on my SD and tried to reboot with the same results mentioned above.
I searched and could not find anyone with the same problem. Can anyone help?
Please and thank you.

Make sure your SD card is formatted as FAT32. You'll probably need to hook that up via a card reader or USB adapter to verify. Copy the contents of the SD card (if anything is there) to your computer, then format the card as FAT32. Maybe the SD card is dead/dying/bad?
Putting the ROM's zip and things on the SD card root won't do anything. The time to put a zip file on the root of the SD card is when applying an update.zip file, or a radio/HBOOT/recovery zip that gets renamed so when booting to HBOOT, it sees the file and asks you to update the appropriate item.
Try a different SD card, formatted to FAT32, and see what happens.

Thank you. I'm going to google FAT32 and what that means and give it a try. I'll post back with results. I do have another SD but how do I proceed with that option?
Again, thank you. I never expected anyone to reply as I seem to be the only one in this boat based on my all night into today searches.
No problem!
FAT32 is a type of computer file system architecture. There are many more. If you are able to hook up your phone's micro SD card to your computer (via a USB adapter, or it may have a built in SD card reader already), it will appear as a lettered disk drive. You can then right click on it to select Format, then make sure FAT32 is selected under the File System drop down.
Most new computers have card readers now, but since these phones take micro SD cards, you'll need an SD card adapter to put it into an SD card slot. The adapters normally come with the micro SD cards when you buy them, as I have five or so that I never use, just need one.
Here is the SD adapter I am speaking of: SD card adapter with micro sd card.
Here is a USB micro SD card reader: USB micro SD card reader.
Is the other SD card new, or would it have files on it? You could try putting that in your phone to see what happens.

Fairly easy find to format my SD card to FAT32 but sadly didn't help matters as I can't get the phone to boot to any screen at all. It gets power, takes a charge but a screen... nope. I even considered re-rooting but again I have to be at some sort of starting point screen wise which is not working at the moment.
Any other thought?
Just a black screen, no HBOOT or anything?

No HBOOT. When pressing power+volume down HBOOT kinda just flickers but never loads. From a full off position, trying to power on, nothing happens either. I have no Idea what I've done. Can't even attach to computer via usb to view internal files.
U probably installed the incorrect rom for your device. I'm assuming your incredible is SLCD so basically is just a black screen because you installed a rom for amoled dincs. See if u can get into fastboot
(hold trackpad and power button)
And does the phone vibrate or anything when U turn it on? Does the computer recognize it as u are turning it on?
Get back to me with those answers so I can help u.

There would be a white bar on both sides of the screen. And even so, thats only in the recovery.

Thank you for looking.
Supposedly I installed the version for my device as there were others posting in the forum with the same phone. Had I read further into the thread I would've saw that other's were having problems as well with random power offs and reboots. But no one had reported what I'm experiencing.

I'm starting to think this as well because my phone was heating up some. But it still takes a charge according to the green led indicator (full charge). I have no other way of confirming that though. I ordered an OEM replacement from the bidding site. $5. Meanwhile, I'm still hunting for a fix because the battery won't be here for a few days. I might just go buy one from a retailer to see if that helps.
Does anyone know if the phone works with the battery out, but plugged in to the charger? Might be a way to tell if its the battery or not.
Just to confirm, you try booting the phone up and it turns off? Is the screen just turning off or does everything power down?
Hi,
I was using Mildwild 7 and everything was great. Now my Desire will not read my SD card. I tried another and it will not read that either. I bought a new one and tried it but no luck. If I leave the phone until the screen blacks out then I cannot use the phone. I just tried this with the original SD card again and when the phone blacks out I can get it to work again...but the SD card is still not there.
Cannot mount SD Card
Cannot mount it in recovery.
Cannot flash new ROM without SD card to see if that helps.
How can I fix this?
Please help.
There are 2 posibilities.
You have a usb brick, and you should install 4ext recovery and use the "usb unbrick" option.
The phone's sd-card reader is broken. You should take it to a service.

How do I know if I have a USB Brick? My USB to computer works fine. I tried a load of stuff in ADB and Bootloader and nothing worked. I blew on it to get any dust out several times. It just went all of a sudden. The last thing I remember doing was reading a happy easter picture message from Viber. Could that have done something?
Try flashing the 2.3 RUU from the htcdev site. If the sd-card still doesn't work, then it's a hardware problem.

So, just realized that using a Micro SD with the Note 2 isn't as easy as just inserting one in. I'm reading that the phone has to be rooted and some other apps have to be downloaded in order for the SD card to be used with the phone. Is that the case? So, if the phone isn't rooted the SD card is useless?
Pictures and videos and any music you may download all go there keeping them off the internal memory makes the SD card very useful.

I believe you were given some very wrong information. You can use a micro SD card on a non rooted phone and no apps have to be downloaded to use one.

That's weird and confusing. I found this info on youtube. The other thing, why isn't my phone recognizing the SD card then? Well, it shows on top but I can't store anything on it as if the phone doesn't recognize it's in.
Maybe its upside down..lol
But you'll need to reboot after inserting it. The phone should say preparing SDCard. Or you can mount it in settings.
Open your camera app and set the storage to Memory Card then you can use your file manager to move your other files to the sdcard..
Also, if you use your browser to download things, you can set the default to the sdcard as well.
