[Q] How to brick a Desire without SD-Card

Hello Everybody,
my sd-card doesn't work anymore, but i haven't a usb-brick. I tried all manuals
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 and many more but i am sure that i have a hardware defect.
My problem is, that i have unbranded and rooted my desire and cannot undo it because my sd card doesnot work. In order to get my warranty i have to install original Telekom rom or brick my phone.
Is there any possibilty to brick phones without sd card?
I have leedroid rom, bootlooder 0.93 and clockwork 2.5.0.7
Thanks a lot,
dieZahnfee
You really have no idea what you are talking about do you?
First try to check for errors and format the card with gparted. If you want to unroot it use a ruu.

Perhaps you didn't understand me.
My Phone has definetly a hardware error. At the beginning i thought that i had a usb brick http: // android.modaco.com/content/ htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
However i haven't a usb brick and the tutorial doesn't work for me.
In order to get my phone repaired by my vendor i have to rebuild the phones delivery status or brick it. Due to my sd card isn't working i cann't unroot and rebrand my phone. Consequently my only opportunity is the brick my phone, but i don't know how to brick it without sd card.
Thanks
Perhaps you misunderstood the previous question.
Have you checked to see if it is the SD-Card itself not working? Like, putting a different one in, or indeed checking the partitions via gParted?
It may not be the phone at all.
Just check it. It's a process called troubleshooting.

Actually, I think what that person wants, to to brick his phone on purpose, so he can send it in for repair without getting in trouble.
He doesn't wish to fix it, cause he's mucked it up too far.
Here is a good suggestion, pull the battery, and toss it into the microwave for about 10 seconds or so.
Or leave it on, and toss it in the toilet for awhile. Then dry it in the oven on very low heat for an hour or so.
Connecting a wire directly from the wall outlet to the USB port will work also.

[Q] Change ROM without using the display

Hi guys,
so, this is indeed my first post here. But the forums helped me a lot with playing with my Desire.
But now I have a problem for which I cannot find help anywhere, neither here via the search nor Google. I really hope you would be so kind to help me find an answer.
This morning I dropped my Desire Nothing really happened case, but the display won't work anymore. When I start it I feel the vibration that indicates the system start, and I also see the buttons under the display lighting up. But the damn display itself stays black. My best guess now is that the connector between display and motherboard might be disconnected/broken.
Since I hope to get it repaired over warranty, I think the first thing to do is to recover standard sense rom and unroot it. Otherwise HTC wouldn't repair it, right?!
So now the tricky part: how can I do that with an unconnected display? Is there any chance?
Or would you just risk it and send it in rooted and with a custom rom?
What's left to say: It cannot be discovered by my computer since I'm not able to turn it on.
I would really really appreciate any help or inputs on how to resolve this.
Cheers,
Pascal
PS: Since my Macbook Air got stolen 3 days ago, I can only answer from my office PC.
Just boot in to fast boot the run ur ruu then send it off

So, how would I do that exactly without being able to use the display or the pc?

or

Both methods require your minimum interaction.
Thanks!
Since I have no Win PC, this would be the equivalent for Mac/Linux, right?
And, how do I find out Baseband Version/Software Number?
I don't know much about OpenRUU, wait for someone else.
Second youtube video doesn't depend on your OS so I would suggest you that solution. However, it requires some interaction with your phone so...
If you're able to find a friend with Windows, that would be win-win solution. Basically you have zero interaction with your phone, just instal HTC Sync (drivers) and plug in the phone.
Since your phone is rooted do not bother about SW/BB version and use RUU ROM provided for your carrier which will restore SW and BB version to the stock. If your carrier sells unbranded Desire then go for the last official Froyo WWE:

If your Desire is branded, find adequate ROM and possibly you'll need a goldcard too.
Thanks for your help guys.
Fortunately, I'm able to use a WinPC for a couple of days now. So, yay me
Unfortunately, it's not working the way I tried and wanted it to work. Here's what I did:
Downloaded, installed and started HTC Sync, plugged in my phone and powered it on. HTC Sync doesn't recognize the phone
Secondly I downloaded and executed the RUU exe, but it also doesn't recogize the phone.
Am I doing something wrong? Or is it just not working cos I'm not able to unlock the SIM?
Let me make something clear to you! If they do take and repair a dropped phone, they'll not even care to look at the software... Seriously. Warranty is for factory/shipping errors, which were caused by the manufacturer. Good luck convincing them how a factory fault suddenly destroyed your display.
But the easy way of going to stock is to get a sd-card reader and put a PB99IMG.zip in the root of the sd-card and start it up in bootloader mode. It'll flash it automatically.(no need to use a windows pc)
Well, it's worth a try, isn't it?! And to be on the safe side, I'd like to get everything back to normal before sending it in. At least to know, that the SW really isn't the reason why they don't wanna repair it.
And for this PB99IMG.zip, does it have to have exactly this name?
Thx

need a favor from an At&T xp owner on stock rom

i have rooted and applied the generic 2.3.4 update, finding that i can no longer charge android apps to my carrier... i was reading a thread on another forum about debranding/rebranding an xperia x10 and thought that it may work??? anyway i need someone with that is on stock at&t firmware to give me the 2 lines in the build.prop file in /system
they will read
ro.semc.version.cust=xxxx-xxxx
ro.semc.version.cust_revision-xxx
or just copy the whole build.prop file.
wanna see if changing those lines may fix the issue...
thanks
anyone??? should be able to do it rooted or not... just have to be able to view files in the /system folder
I have it but I am new to Android and you'll have to tell me exactly how to browse/open/check for you. Also, I had no idea you could charge to your carrier. In fact, I accidentally made a purchase in an attempt to see what the payment options were and I saw it show up on my credit card despite never giving them my card details. The service is on my brother's family plan, so it was not billed through the carrier in order to show up on my card. The only thing I can think of is that Google kept my payment details from an old Google Checkout purchase but I'm pretty sure I've replaced my card since then and would have told it not to remember it in the first place.
nevermind... i extracted the file i needed from a att rom, and didnt work...
I need a favor from a stock AT&T user as well. My voicemail didn't work at all for a week due to a problem turning off the Visual Voicemail from my last phone (iPhone 4). After they "fixed" it, I got an error switching my VM to Google Voice. If someone else could try and tell me if they get the same error, I would appreciate it.

[Q]Gigantic problem, messed up my phone.

I thought I could do it, root the phone and install jellybean or something.
Not only I couldn't, but I ****ed the whole device up. I'm really sorry for my ignorance, I turned out to be a complete idiot.
I have no idea what to do now, I followed every possible tutorial to downgrading to froyo and one of them suggested something with PD98IMG.zip.
So following that tutorial, I remember putting the zip file to the SD card..
After a few hours, following another tutorial I opened HBOOT, and it suddenly asked me if I'd want to update my device with this PD98IMG.zip.
As an idiot, I did.
And now, instead of an HTC boot I have "SoftBank" boot and the phone is in japanese, and I can only access emergency calls. can't even get to the homescreen past the unlock screen.
Please, can anyone suggest something? [inbefore going to repair the phone..]
Edit: Managed to get it working only on airplane mode, otherwise it's on an emergency call only mode.. It's still softbank though [while mine is originally HTC Europe]
Sorry, I'm double posting but this is really serious
I got it to be set to airplane mode and that's the only way to use my phone currently.
[otherwise I only have the emergency dialer, and the lock screen]
And, the phone thinks I'm from japan and all my sugestions are to japanese people..
Is there a way to change my carrier back from Softbank JP to Europe?
please help me. sorry for being an asshat.
Please help me.

Help with modifying C6603

Ok, so i feel like an idiot but i really need some guidance.
I recently acquired a brand new xperia z with the UK carrier EE, really happy with it but i knew fairly soon after recieving it that i would be rooting it.
This is my 3rd xperia device and the first one that actually allows the bootloader to be unlocked, huzzah.
So i went ahead and unlocked the bootloader with no trouble at all, but the problem i am now faced with, is that i want install CWM and continue on to root the device, but since the bootloader has been unlocked, the settings menu on the phone crashes consistently and the SD card isnt working properly in the phone, when connected to my laptop the sd card is not showing either.
What im asking is, has anyone else had this problem? and does anyone know of a fix ?
i dont know what information is required so i'll provide as much as i think is relevant
Model
C6603
AV 4.3
build 10.4.1.B.0.101
if you need anything else just ask and i'll do my best to provide it
Thanks in advance!
