Desire broken?

Hi,
I flashed a modified framework-res.apk I got from the emulator (using the new Gingerbread) and flashed it to Oxygen 1.0. I have a GSM, AMOLED Desire.
Now my sdcard doesn't get recognized anymore and the device isn't able to connect to O2 Germany. When I try to connect the phone to my PC (Windows) I get a message that Windows wants to install a "Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM" driver.
I still can boot the phone up, I can get into recovery (AmonRa 2.0.0) and fastboot.
Can anyone help me?

Flash a stock ROM - ignore the Windows driver thing, that's to do with a modem if you Google it. Why you'd take something from Gingerbread and try it on FroYo is beyond me - super rookie mistake right there!!

1. It only was the framework-res.apk and I only took the images from it.
2. I don't have access to my sdcard. Is it still possible to flash a stock ROM?

Try flashing a rom via fastboot.

As you are on o2 Germany, grab this RUU:
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/htc/htcdesire/htc-desire.html
and reroot via unrevoked, gonna delete everything on your device but should work, you might want to take your sd card out of the phone before doing this just in case anything weird happens ;-)
best regards

That's the same as the o2 UK RUU on shipped-roms.com, would also mean no gold card needed to flash it

How can I get the ROM image as zip file? Is it the OTA update.zip?

Edit: Read the next post, some genius information, learned sth new there : >
If you're talkin bout my solution there is no way to get the zip, simply install HTC sync (yes, you have to -.-), fire up the executable and follow the on screen instructions.

It's the full RUU. To get the PB99IMG.zip from it do the following:
1. Run the RUU
2. Once you get to the first screen of the RUU, move it to the bottom of your screen and go to Start>Run and type
%temp%
And click OK
3. Browse to the newest folder created in the Temp folder
4. In the folder will be a ZIP file called Rom - copy this to your Desktop
5. Rename thr ZIP file to PB99IMG.zip (not PB99IMG.zip.zip) and copy it to the root of your SD card
6. Turn your phone on whilst holding volume down and follow the instructions

I think you don't have to flash a RUU rom. Flashing for example oxygen via fastboot again should do the trick.

Better to flash stock again to get everything working again then root again

Unfortunately I don't have a SENSE ROM installed. Oxygen is an AOSP ROM

I have the nandroid .img files of my system before I got those problems. Would it be possible to flash those somehow via fastboot?

For that method I said you do NOT need FASTBOOT. So long as you can connect you SD card to your PC to copy the ZIP file to it and turn your phone on into HBOOT then you'll be fine. If, and it's a big if, it doesn't read the card then yes you'll have to use FASTBOOT and an RUU - you don't need HTC Sync for that

It's now updating. I hope it doesn't matter that I have removed the hboot- and splash-image from the zip-file.

Removed them from what? The PB99IMG.zip? Why on earth would you do that?!?!?! It's going to brick your phone!!
Just flash back to stock and start again

Currently it's just a piece of hardware that is only capable of using WiFi. I can't damage it more. But maybe you're right. I will install the unchange zip file.
But it would be interesting to know what went wrong. Why does using images from the Gingerbread emulator framework-res.apk for a FroYo ROM leads to such an result?

Because the rest of the ROM isn't Gingerbread. It's completely different. It's like me taking a customised framework file and trying to use it on a stock ROM. It doesn't work
Just go back to stock and start again. That way you know you've got a clean base to start from

download full wipe from xda.. google it "full wipe 1.3 xda" put the zip in ur sdcard.. put the rom(watever rom ur using) in sdcard as well ..
now take battery off ur phone.. back in.. press and hold vol down + power key.. u will go into bootloader.. then click on recovery.. ur phone will boot into CMW recovery > install zip fro sdcard.. 1st do a full wipe.. then flash the rom again.. u will be fine

i'll try now, so happy some one can help, i havent sleept for hours

Else if that does not work ( when i try to boot into recovery that way my phone vibrates, shows a green light and does nothing.. )
connect the phone to your computer and in ADB type: " reboot recovery "

I agree with leather face, I haven't tried this method but I have heard this will solve your problem, when I had the same sort of problem I downloaded the ace stock rom the placed the file on my SD card then took my battery out then reinserted it & powered back on while holding down the volume down button then once in bootloader select fastboot then it will ask to load zip, select yes now it will say done, reboot then you should be back at the beginning again with a working phone start again from scratch but this time do a wipe from recovery and make sure you are using the correct clockwork with the correct rom ie clockwork 2.*.*.* with Cyanogen 6 & clockwork 3.*.*.* with Cyanogen 7 & then you should be just fine mate

now i've tried... it says it cant find recovery file? in CWM loader
it says wrong image...
edit: signature is wrong (or some thing like that) should i rename the .zip file?

or sould i generate a Goldcard for MD98IMG.zip?

You'll only need a goldcard if your phone is branded.
With something like a T-Mobile Bootscreen or else.
The Filename should be PD98IMG.zip and it should be in the root folder of your SD.

Dude,DON'T PANIC!
Download the attached CWM 2.5.1.3 rar and unrar it.
Now,do you have ADB setup on your pc?If not,search for a guide(Google is your friend),there are many.Supposing you have ADB setup,place the downloaded CWM .img file inside the folder where fastboot is.Open CMD in windows(Type cmd in RUN on your start menu) and there type "cd" and navigate to the folder where fastboot is,like "cd C:/YourPc'sName/android/tools" without the quotes.If it changes folder(it will if you type everything correctly) type without the quotes "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-ace.img".The you will be able to boot in recovery through fastboot.
Else,you can use Fastboot commander which is supposed to have a nice GUI and make things easier,but I haven't used it.
Hope I helped!

FIXED,
Fith Fastboot commander (putting my phone in FASTBOOT USB)
Flashing CWM tool, after that I'm da king (Thanks to all, specially mimilover)

[Q] Where to start?

Hi,
I just bought a Desire today.
its
S-OFF
rooted
running leedroid v2.3d
thats all I know.
Im downloading the InsertCoin Sense 2.1 1.0.8 CM7 Rom right now.
How do I get things right without messing up my phone?
pls someone guide me how to install this rom propely and what's the required files etc2
Im really confused right now.
read a bunch of stuff here and couldnt find an answer
hopefully someone would help me out
thanks!
edit:what's the MD5sum for?
it says as a requirement on the insercoin thread that its either a
A2SD CM7 HBOOT - cm7 hboot from alpharev.nl - the one with 130 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
A2SD+ STOCK HBOOT - stock hboot - the one with 250 mB for /system
- 1 gB ext2/3/4 partition
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which one should I use/download?
the ROM that I downloaded has a md5sum of MD5: b7e9f7e7dc60b79874920dfcde50ac76
please please anyone?

MD5 sum is to chceck if your download was uncorrupted. MD5 of downloaded file must be identical to the one provided in ROM thread ALWAYS CHECK MD5 SUMS, if you flash for example corrupted hboot or radio it WILL brick your device
now, what you must do, since you are already rooted and S-OFFed:
1) make sure you have 1GB ext3/4 partition on your SD card, AFTER FAT32
if it is there, you are OK, if not use Gparted (bootable CD) to make one, mount SDcard in recovery and partition your SD
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
3) boot into recovery, wipe all, wipe dalvik and choose to flash downloaded insertcoin.zip
once it ends reboot, and after 15min it should boot up android, if not pull the battery cause smth didnt work out.
what could have gone wrong:
-your sd-ext wasnt done properly (double check or re-do)
-your recovery was outdated (report back here, i will help you updating it)

thanks for the response!
how do i check for the md5 of my downloaded file?
I have a clockworkmod v2.5.0.7
im downloading gparted now and will the files on to a disc after.
or can I use any partition master apps?like minitool or easeus partition?
please guide me how to partition it properly
its a 16gb kingston class 6
and how do i update my recovery just do be sure
edit: sorry for these noobie questions. I was really shocked how hard it is compared to flashing hd2s and defys
and yeah I have adb installed on my pc with the required files in it. the thing is I never used it. not even once sorry :0
anyway will try repartitioning my sd card now

you can check MD5 with program called HashTAB: once you install it, right click on file, choose properties and choose file hashes panel.
updating your recovery: find topic here on desire forums for clockwork mod 4.0.0.5 - if you download a .zip file you can use a fake-flash method which means booting into CWM 2.5.0.7 then choosing to flash CWM4.0.0.5.zip and this will launch new CWM, however you must do it every time you go into recovery.
if you want a permanent install of CWM 4.0.0.5 download its .img file, check MD5, put it into your androidSDK folder, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt (cmd) type:
cd X:/ANDROIDSDKLOCATION/tools [navigate to your SDK installation folder]
fastboot devices [this should give a serial number]
fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img [.img file must be inside /tools folder]
and it will flash it permanently
you can find a video tutorial on how to partition SD in Desire Android Development sticky thread, its one of the first 3 or 4 threads, videos for noobs, all is there
also in thread tagged [TUT] you can find video on how to use ADB

I just partitioned my sd properly w/ gparted
downloaded the Desire_recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.5-j_r0dd_mod.zip
what do you recomend?fake flash or flash it permanently?
and could you please clarify this
2) since you downloaded CM7 hboot version of insertCoin go to alpharev.nl and download CM7r2 PB99IMG then put it to the root of your SDcard and boot phone into bootloader (vol down+power) then wait until it finds the file and accept the flashing of new hboot >> this will change partition layout. [2nd method possible but you would have to have ADB @ pc correctly set up, which i doubt you have, so do it PB99IMG way CHECK MD5)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I downloaded the PB99IMG_cm7r2.zip, what should I place on the root of my SD card?the zip file or the .IMG file?then once I press vol+power I just wait then accept then it will install it?
then after that I just copy the nandroid backup onto my SD card and flash?
one more thing.
what's the best or recommended radio?
note:I cant connect to any data connection.either using 2g/wcdma,wdcma only or 2g only.
I dont know if it's the rom or what.hope its not a hardware issue though
My reception is always full by the way
note:here's what I did. placed the PB99IMG.zip on the sd then turned the device off then pressed vol down + power, a prompt asked for a update.I said yes then asked me to reboot. I answered no then went to clockwork recovery then flashed the insercoin rom after wiping cache and dalvik and factory data reset.rebooted the device and now im waiting for my phone to completely boot.
hope I made everything right

you gotta read more carefully dude
as i said, if you downloaded CWM.ZIP (ZIP FILE) FAKE-FLASH is the ONLY thing you can do with it. if you would have .IMG FILE permanent flasing from fastboot would be the only possibility. SOZ BOUT THAT !!! i just looked at this files, it is not flashable ZIP, this is an .img file packed into a .zip (LOL) unpack it, check MD5 Sum provided inside the .zip file and flash it using fastboot !!!
also some instructions taken from alpharev.nl (they are just under the table with hboots): You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC. It is however still necessary to either restore your nandroid, or reflash your ROM after doing this. The partition LAYOUT has changed, the actual data still needs to be 'moved'.
so rename the cm7r2.zip you have to PB99IMG.zip and put it on your SD (not in any folders) then go to bootloader with VolDown+Power, wait around 10 seconds and confirm flashing new HBOOT
after doing this, you cannot simply restore a NANDROID (if a ROM was made for stock hboot, it will not work on CM7 hboot this should be kinda obvious) you must flash a ROM designed form CM7 hboot so, for example InsertCoin CM7 (it is because on stock hboot system files are 250MB, and then on CM7 you have only 145mb, so restoring a NANDROID that had 250MB/system wont work, wont fit, wont boot)
i suggest you read full info available on www.alpharev.nl
best radio ? well i am an up-to-date geek so i always use the newest though you should be fine with any. if you encounter any problems though (with reception or wifi etc) you should consider upgrading your RADIO. however if you will change your HBOOT to CM7 (which is also treated as data++ by alpharev AND Ultimate Online Kitchen cause of the /cache size) you will be able to flash new radio ONLY from fastboot (it is also said on alpharev.nl :If you downloaded Bravo Data++, please notice the /cache partition is too small to hold Radio flashes from recovery. You can however flash the radio just fine with 'fastboot flash radio radio.img'. Just extract the radio.img from the radio update.zip beforehand.)
about data connection.
go into settings > wireless > acces points (you gotta find it, i dunno how are these named in other laungauges) and set up your APN correctly (you should find correct settings for your mobile provider on thier website, or just google it)
closing remarks:
remember that if ANYONE was helpful to you, hit the 'thanks' button if you got any more questions, i am more than happy to help

thanks a lot bro!
Im now running on insertcoin w/o any probs.
many many thanks for your help.
PS:gave you a couple of thanks

[Q] easy desire z hboot on g2?

any way to do it wihout adb. i know its usually against the rules to flash hboot thru anything else but adb but it was possible on g1.
i searched. believe me. all guides i found require adb.

could i....??
1.recovery. make backup
2.hboot. flash pcimg
3.recovery. restore backup?

easy
So I'm going to start by saying don't do thisand I'm not responsible. Good luck
You will need too backup or have new rom ready to install on a sdcard.
You will need either two phones or twosdcards. reason being is once the pc10img.zip is on the root of the sdcard any time you boot into bootloader it will automatically kick you to update pc10img.zip even after you have. so either update zip than take out your sdcard and change the name or location of pc10img or put in second sdcard that has a Rom or backup on it
1. pc10img flash (make sure you have a backup) boot into bootlaoder(phone off press volume down and power same time) this will load pc10img.
2.either switch sdcard or change name/location of pc10img.zip on sdcard(second phone option)
3. boot into bootlaoder again and select recovery. If it goes to load pc10img.zip than this is exactly why you shouldn't be doing this. READ!
4. once in recovery do a full wipe and format.
5. Load Rom/backup
Tried and tested only by myself a week ago and no problems currently enjoying Virtuos Unity 1.27.

For some reason I couldn't do it abd so i ended up doing it the way dunes20 said. I used this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZfSWLlvPg

adb is a *****
and its very unforgiving. I figured it out though it took alot of reading forums. I would only recommend using adb to update hboot flashing it like you would a radio is sketch especially if you have an incorrect md5sum or something else stupid happens.

[Q] I think I bricked my Desire.

Hi,
In an attempt to downgrade from HBOOT 1.03 to Alpharev I followed the tutorial in this forum titled "[S-ON][TUTORIAL] Downgrade from a ROM Hboot 1.03 to a ROM Hboot 0.9". Problem is, when I tried to flash misc, I was not using a gold card and pretty much corrupted the partition. After that my phone is now pretty much useless. No calls can be made, does not pick up my carrier, can't mount SD card. trying to install stock RUU crashes both my PHONE and my COMPUTER.
Things I've tried:
Use stock RUU to flash again ( Crashes computer and phone )
Use fastboot to flash stock ROM.ZIP in RUU ( Says RUU is corrupt )
Use PB99IMG.zip on card, reboot, nothing happens ( says image is corrupt or not found ).
Try restore from nandroid ( can't mount sdcard )
I have the original misc partition on my computer, so if i find a way to restore it I can flash it back.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? Apart form a walk down to a Telstra dealer and coming back with a new phone?
Thanks =]

link of the forum?
1.03 is htc unlocked you can't downgrade

Sorry, it's unlockable...

I think you got in usb-brick situation.
I'm not sure if you can flash misc with S-ON define?
try "fastboot flash misc mtd0.img" (you can use your misc or donwload from web (keyword: Quick & dirty HTC Desire mtd0.img generator for usb-bricked devices by stevebrush))

What was the file that you named PB99IMG.zip originally? Was it an HBoot .img, ROM...??
Had a USB Brick a week or so ago, when going CM7 > DG > CM7r2...except in haste, I forgot to flash the r2 after DG and tried to flash ROM. OOOPS!!! lol. When I loaded CM7r2.img and renamed PB99..., I must have loaded the wrong file and got the same response you did. Tried again, got it right this time and phone updated and rebooted, all good.
Sorry, I don't recall exactly what I did to cause the corrupt image, but I know that perserverance fixed it...
