[Q] I have flashed chinese MIUI Desire_2.4.13 ROM - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have registered my account to ask this question. I have been flashing roms since I bought desire a month ago. But this time I flashed the chinese version of MIUI rom from their official website. They didn't even mentioned on their site that this is Chinese and official version of the rom.
My question is, how can I connect my USB cable to connect to the computer and then copy some other rom to my memory card. ( I don't have memory card reader/adapter). I tried to connect it but it's showing charging icon on the status bar, I then tap on that icon and there were some on/off options I tried to change them in both states but the device is still not connecting to the computer in USB mode. I am bit afraid because I am experiencing this strange problem that I haven't found fix on the net.
P.S: Sorry for my English and please reply urgently I can't even use my phone with this chinese version.

Why don't you just go to recovery (just power off phone and then while holding volume down press and hold power) and mount sdcard from there?

I have to connect my phone with pc, so I can put another rom on the sd card and then flash it. Is it possible to do this via recovery? If yes please guide me how do this.
Thanks

Yes, it is possible... Like i said, turn off your phone (if you're not sure how take the battery out and put it back again), then while holding the volume down button on the side of the phone press and hold power button... Phone should turn on, screen should be white with phone info on the top and Norad skating at the bottom of the screen - this is called bootloader... After several seconds some check-ups should be done and you should be able to move through menu by pressing volume up and down... Navigate to recovery and press power button to select it... Now the screen should change and you should be taken to recovery whichever you have installed... From there you can either restore a nandroid backup if you previously made it or toggle usb/mount usb or whatever it says and while in that menu connecting phone you should be able to access sdcard... if there is something you can't follow ask...

[Q] My HTC Desire doesn't unlock...! Please help

Hi,
I've locked my phone yesterday and I've found a problem that doesn't let me unlock the device. I couldn't unlock and reboot the phone, so I took off the battery and placed it on and started up the phone. It freezed again on the unlocking. Tried this a couple of times - same problem. It has no wallpaper, the SD card reacts very slowly, the network also, and the screen doesn't turn off by itself if you don't do it so. Sometimes I can't even answer a call, it shows somthing like "Application not responding. Wait/Force close". I doubt it's the HTC Sense broken down or something similar. Please help me, I need my phone very quickly!
P.S. The phone is NOT rooted
Thanks!

You will lose all your data by doing this.
Boot into the bootloader (power off, press and hold volume down, press and hold power).
Wait for some green writing to appear and then disappear (about 7 seconds).
Use the volume down button to navigate to "clear storage", then press power.
Once this is done, reboot the phone and hope for the best.
----------------
If this doesn't work, make a goldcard (google how to) with any other android phone you may have, insert the goldcard in your desire
download the latest WWE RUU (look on resources in my guide)
boot into fastboot mode (hold back & power) and plug it in via USB to your PC
Run RUU.exe and do not touch the phone til it completes.

Well thanks man for the work, but I'm kinda n00b at all these phone system stuff, is there any other way that has less consequences than this, I mean, no losing all the data stored?
no, not without a properly functioning device.

HTC Desire HD won't boot up (rooted)

My friend gave me HTC Desire HD (for free) saying I could keep it. It worked for about a month and then out of nowhere just stopped working.
I tried:
- Holding power button
- Holding power + volume button
- Holding power + other volume button
But nothing happens.
When I connect it to USB cable, an orange dot starts blinking on the left top of the phone and ClockWorkMod opens (note: I'm not pressing ANY button, it opens itself).
But after Clockworkmod opens, it closes before I can get to do anything. Clockworkmod is there for about 5-10 seconds and then the phone shuts back down and I need to reconnect it to usb cable again to show clockworkmod again, or sometimes the clockworkmod shows itself back again for no reason.
I tried doing some stuff like installing rom from sdcard, but clockwork mod closes before I can even choose any option, or even if I do get to choose it, the screen turns black again in the middle of the operation.
I sadly don't have any other info on the phone at the moment because my friend isn't available, All I can tell is that the ClockworkMod is version v5.0.2.7 and it says "Ace hack kit" with blue font in the middle of the screen.
I need the phone for development purposes so it would be really great if someone could help me fix it, any idea what could be wrong? thank you!
EDIT: I also have no information on which ROM was on that phone and if it is really rooter or not (but since there is ClockworkMod on it I'm almost sure it was rooted, I don't know much about that stuff though so I can't say anything

Can you get to fastboot if you hold down vol down while you plug it in (from completely off)? This would help to get some more info on the phone status.

Help!!! I bricked my htc one m9!!

So funny story. I was trying to install a different ROM onto my M9 and I went to recovery mode (I have TWRP Recovery) and then wiped The device which got rid of the existing ROM and then i turned off my M9 so i could remove the external SD card and then put on the new ROM i wanted. I re-inserted the SD card and then turned on the device (like a dumb ass) then realized that I had no OS installed so it's currently stuck at the white screen with the green HTC logo and the classical red text because it's rooted. I tried to hold the power button for like 2 minutes, tried the power and volume down button and power and volume up button. Nothing seems to break it out of this screen and I have no idea what to do. right now i'm thinking I should let the battery die and then charge it and then hold the power button and volume down to put it into download mode so i can put it back into recovery to install my ROM. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

U are posting in the wrong section.
Moderators will move it to "help + q&a".
Now the answer: hold power and volume up for 10 seconds, phone will reboot.
Then quickly vol down and power for recovery.

Bricked Head Unit RK3188 - Please Help

I recently upgraded to the eonon GA6151 and was trying to flash update_RK3188_1024x600.img " booroondook RK3188" , well I renamed the file wrong to dupate.img instead of update.img I started flashing it and it was too late before I realized. Now the unit will not boot up or go to recovery. I can reset it and see the buttons flash like it wants to go to recovery but nothing ever appears on the screen. Is there a way to adb into this unit? Can I put files on a card and have it auto install them? Any help would be appreciated.
FIXED IT!!
I fixed it using this method. I realized after the fact that this new unit is MTCD not MTCB.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67184851&postcount=50
I then had the error
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67309331&postcount=116
Which I fixed doing this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67598154&postcount=319
I used the dupdate from here.
http://huifei.fs-fileserver.de/content/firmware/MTCD Custom ROMS - NOT FOR MTC-/RK3188/2017.02.21/
I loaded it onto the sdcard and the usb drive , the sdcard was created using upgrade disk tool and has to be 16gb or smaller fat 32. The usb drive just had a copy of the dupate.img file on the root of it.
To get into recovery on this unit do the below. http://www.eonon.com/Android-Car-GPS/Vehicle-Specific-GPS/GA6151.html
Press and Hold HOME AND POWER buttons
Press RESET while still holding HOME AND POWER
Let go of HOME AND POWER and then press HOME AND POWER down again and hold until the lights flash 3 times " is about 10 seconds to hold them "
Now Let Go of the HOME button then the POWER button the press the POWER button once "do not hold" and wait for it to boot into recovery.
This is the only method I found that reliably will get you into recovery. Make sure you use the GPS slot for any sd stuff you need to do in recovery.
Did you have to take the unit out of the car? I’ve made the bootable SD but nothing is happening.

Need help using CWM to recover data

So my screen blacked out and I would like to attempt and retrieve the information off of my phone. I have an idea to use the CWM I have installed on my phone and from there mount it. But since I cannot see the screen, I was hoping somebody could tell me the number of presses of each button so I can mount it. Thanks!

not sure if cwm will help, but twrp 3 will definitely help, i want you to boot into download mode and flash twrp 3 using Odin, and then boot into recovery.
TWRP 3 has MTP enabled by default, so when you're in TWRP and connected your phone to PC, you will see your phone on PC and will be able to copy anything you want.
also you can use adb pull commands but it requires usb debugging on in your rom.

yes, you will do it blindly, but it's not hard.
you press power + home + volume down for 3 seconds, then press volume up, and connect your phone to PC, then flash the TWRP 3 using Odin,after the flash is done, remove battery, and insert again, then hold the power + home + volume up for 4 seconds, the release the power and keep holding the other 3 buttons for another 3 seconds then release, by now it should be in recovery mode, now connect to PC and you should see your phone and all its content.

good question.
he can't do it in two cases:
1- if he is using android 6.0+
2- if he is using a password, PIN or a pattern in his lock screen.
i believe he should have tried your suggestion already, it would be a shame if he didn't because it's an Obvious thing.
however, i should have mentioned that as well...
