I had ICS BETA 0.17.1.1 running on my desire for quite some time, and have been very happy about it, very stable!
This morning I shut it down to get my SIM card out and when I tried to boot it up again, it was stuck on the boot screen.
4ext recovery told me my phone was USB-bricked and after unbriking it, recovery could access the sd card again.
But now it keeps on USB-bricking. I even tried to completely reformat the sd-card and reinstall the ROM but it is always stuck on the boot screen.
Everytime when I go back to recovery I get the message that it's USB bricked....
What causes this USB-bricking? Is my sd card faulty?
How can I get my phone working again?
Thanks for your ideas/help...
For the record: the sd card was indeed faulty.
I replaced it with an old one, and now I can flash ROM's like before

Hi,
Was running on LeeDroid 1.9, wiped and flashed for OpenDesire 3.4, came up fine then rebooted for the 3.4.2 patch and now my Desire just will not go past the HTC logo screen no matter what I do.
I can boot into recovery and have full access to everything, tried formatting the SD card and loading different ROMS but stuck @ the HTC green logo on white background.
Even Revoked3 again but the prob is not getting into the Recovery menu, its getting past that HTC screen.
Any info / idea's / help?
Thanks
Russ
If your phone turns on its not bricked, there will be a way to fix any issues your having, its just finding the correct one.
When flashing other roms did you wipe everything?
Data
Dalvik Cache
Ext parititon (if you have one)
Not wiping Dalvik is the number one reason roms get stuck bootlooping on bootscreen1.
Alternatively, it is booting but your not waiting long enough, you can always run adb logcat while booting to see if they phone is actually doing anything.
Hi,
Thank you for replying....
Figured it out that it is the SD card, here is the situation:
- Boot into recovery but cannot mount nor format the SD card
- Can see the SD card in MAC/ Windows and formated it Fat32
- Can boot without SD card
- Can boot with another SD card which is only 128Meg so cannot get LeeDroid back on it to reflash that ROM
I obviously need to format the SD card proper and it looks like I need to use Gparted but that looks like a HUGE Linux ISO download unless you know of a MAC version of it I can use?
Thanks
Found a 2Gig SD Card, got LeeDroid back on it, flashing and hoping I can boot with the original SD card so I can format with ROM manger but thinking it wont boot up with the SD card in regardless of the ROM, lets hope!
if you don't manage to boot it up. find this in the forum "PB99IMG.zip" w/o the quotes. format your sd card and put the archive in root of sd card. after that turn on your phone by pressing volume down and power on/off. wait till phone recognizes the archive and follow onscreen directions. phone should boot normally as unrooted. use unrevoked to root again and flash any rom you want.
post result.
Okay I am up but not on my original SD card, using a spare.
In recovery mode my phone refuses to mount nor format the card but can see it 100%
Seen some posts of a ADB cmd I need to use or is there something else I can try?
Thanks!
I ran "unrevoked" on my phone again and it booted when I had that problem.
But I took out the sd card when I did that. Not sure if it helps. But who knows.
Tried that, booting without the card is fine, with the card in is the issue, phone cannot see it.
I was upgrading my SD card copied the fakeflash/clockworkmod update.zip onto my new sd card along with my new rom then put it in the phone and tried to boot into recovery.
I get the standard menu chose bootloader then chose recovery as I have done many times before. But instead of getting the black screen with the triangle with the ! symbol in it it just stayed on the white screen with the HTC logo.
Odd fair enough I did a battery pull and then tried to boot normally but got exactly the same thing.
Ok that's strange put my old SD card back in, but no joy cant boot normally and cant get into recovery.
Is there anything I can do or have I just lost my phone for good?
You just need to put a sd card in the phone (a sd card which u are going to use permanently)you dont need to copy anything to sd card apart from rom and radio before u flash it, reinstall your rom + radio and things should be ok, happened with me when i got a new sd card.
Seems VERY similar to a problem i had. Instead of HTC logo though - mine was on o2 splash screen as it is branded.
Have a look at my thread -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776120
.....it was solved at the end.
If you are going down this route, be aware though you will want an unbranded RUU file and you will lose everything on the phone!
But a wiped working phone is better than a full non-working one!
Good luck
My dinc is set up like this:
9.01 radio
.92 bootloader
I flashed a rom and then it said my sd card went bad. Tried flashing another rom and it problem persisted. As a last resort i tried to reformat my sd card with no luck. got an error. I then tried to flash through recovery and did a full wipe (my mistake for doing this) but cant flash another rom since the sd card it bad. When i restart it gets stuck at the splash screen.
I bought another sd card and placed a rom which i know works on it and it seemed to have installed fine, but now when i restart i get stuck at the splash screen like i did before.
Any ideas?
Maybe i need to find the original update.zip file from when i first rooted? My sd card is empty except for that rom i put on it.
I found it. Nope, didnt work. Maybe i need to flash a recovery, though i have none anymore.
In case someone else comes across the same problem, i fixed it.
The sd card was ruined. unable to reformat or anything. Luckily i back up my sd card recently so i transfered everything to my new sd card. Went into recover and did a recovery of an old backup.
Hello. I have done hours of searching for this problem I now have with my Desire HD and haven't found anything similar.
What happened:
I was running a MIUI ROM and experienced poor signal, noticed my Radio was a different version to the one recommended for that ROM. So I checked my phone was ENG S-OFF (yes) and flashed the recommended Radio.
Since that point the phone worked, I did a full wipe to install the newer version of the MIUI ROM and that's when Clockwork Recovery said it was unable to mount the sdcard.
I tried booting the phone with its stock ROM, and it's as if the SD card doesn't exist, if I plug the sd card directly into my computer it works fine, but ANY sd card plugged into my phone does not recognise it.
Since then I have reflashed a few different radios but still the phone does not recognise the SD card and I have lost root access. Phone is still ENG S-OFF.
Can someone help?
Thanks.
I would first suggest to put the SD card in your pc and attempt a format. Many problems can be solved that way. If not, try another SD card. If that doesn't work the phone may be broken and you may have to get it repaired. But let's wait and see what others think about this too.
I would suggest you to try inserting-ejecting the card multiple times into the phone socket. It is clearly the socket flawed. It happens on most of the phones I guess, even in my old SE W580. Try inserting-ejecting multiple times. If this would not work, you have to get your phone repaired, since it isn't likely to be a software side problem.
Hello thanks for your responses.
I have found a pattern between the sd card not being recognised and HBOOT.
For whatever reason, my phone will not boot directly to recovery (POWER + VOL-UP) - I get 3 vibrate pulses and the orange light flashes forever - instead I have to boot to HBOOT (POWER + VOL-DOWN) first and then select recovery from there. Whilst booting HBOOT, it checks the SD card for 5 different files, of which none exist - think something like PD98DIAG.ZIP etc. And once this process has been done, the SD card is not "seen" by anything else (recovery or ROMs).
However, once in recovery, if I reboot the phone directly into recovery from there (reboot recovery), the SD card is readable and usable.
Very bizarre!
Hello All,
So I was telling my co-worker how much better my HTC desire was after I rooted and loaded a custom ROM on. I setup mine with App2SD using the Noob proof Desire Guide with the AceSMod007 2.3.3 rom
He asked me if the device can still boot if you take out the Micro SD card, So i tried it an the phone would not boot and seemed to loop. I put the Micro SD card back in and upon booting up again alot of my app's are not working. And i get low storage messages.
I'm guessing booting it up without the partition there has stuffed up the mounting...? How do i resolve it, do I use CWM-AlphaRev Recovery to fix it up and remount the card? (just guessing)
thanks very much
I ended up just reloading the ROM, thanks anyway
