[Q] (semi)bricked nand | hboot (s-off) + clockworkmod (without usb) alive

info: htc desire bravo | hboot 0.93 S-OFF | clockworkmod 2.5.0.7
well, beeing brain-afk while following a guide for cyanogenmod6 with a2sd, i used a mtd-repartition tool for the g1.
after repartitioning and rebooting, clockworkmod cant mount sdcard anymore - probably because device nodes got changed. "E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0
i reflashed clockworkmod via fastboot hoping it could fix something, but no, didnt help. i cant install any zip because i have no sd-card. i cant boot to the android system, because i dont have an android system.
my idea would be: erase recovery, flash a tool which restores partition table, start "recovery" so that this tool does its job, flash clockwork mod again and install the operating system.
any better ideas or hints for what that "magical tool" can be would be appreciated.

after more reading and more testing, i understand, i destroyed the SPL
this would explain:
why sdcard isnt mountable
why i cant access the device via adb
why linux doesn't detecht a propper device - only a high-speed usb device
next on investigate list: how to flash an spl - isnt that what hboot s-off includes?

yes alpharev is a modfied spl, but i dont know if your going to flash it if nothing will detect your device as a desire

well, even more testing...
my alpharev hboot does support flashing all partitions! great!
i did like its said on the alpharev homepage:
Code:
fastboot flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img
it said, it worked.
i had an old leedroid backup and found this:

so, no system and data partition around - hboot, recovery and boot already reflashed. i also tried the spl with less system and more data bravo_alphaspl-n1table.img - but it doesnt seam to create the partitions if they are missing.
edit: why is fastboot missing in the linux android sdk btw? have to use windows for this...

its late, and i cant find a way to get further. no idea how to re-setup my mtd partitions atm or why i dont have adb in clockworkmod even i reflashed the spl.
tomorrow is a new day, and i am hoping for you guys...

The /data partition is called 'userdata'.
So use 'fastboot flash userdata <img>'.
In regards to the system partition, fastboot has a 220M (about that size) limit.
To overcome this limit (and do all of the above at once):
Zip the images you have:
-boot.img
-recovery.img
-cache.img
-userdata.img
-system.img
Add to this a file called android-info.txt:
Code:
modelid: PB9920000
cidnum: HTC__001
cidnum: HTC__E11
cidnum: HTC__N34
cidnum: HTC__203

cidnum: HTC__405
cidnum: HTC__Y13

cidnum: HTC__304
cidnum: HTC__016
cidnum: HTC__032
hbootpreupdate:3
mainver: 2.10.405.2
DelCache: 1
Flash the zip using fastboot:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <whatever-you-called-it.zip>
Done!

thanks for your reply ieftm. i really was full of hope, that this would work / fix my phone. unfortuatly, it throws an error:
Code:

will search the forum now for infos about android-info.txt - do you think, this also would fix the part why clockworkmod cant access the sdcard anymore?
edit: i tried both unix and dos format for the .txt file (crlf vs lf) - both produces the same result

i downloaded RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
i extracted the rom.zip and extracted the android-info.txt - still the same error.
to be honest, i am thrilled to install the RUU and start all over again. but if that fails, i got nothing left - no modified hboot, no clockworkmod

You can get the linux fastboot from here:
developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2
(I'm not allowed to post external links, so I had to remove http)

Solved! Device working again.
|Jason8| -my personal hero for october 2010- told me on irc to check this guide - turns out, things on desire are slightly different.
my problem -for anyone running in similar stuff later- is called usb brick - and the solution for desire is found here
thank you so much |Jason8| - i finally can use my phone again ...18 hours of confusion at an end

This is what i did, use a Micro SD card reader and format your SD card. Here is a link to a formatter, http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/ then when you double click the sd card on My Computer, it will say you need to format again. Do it and then repartition your SD card. YES, what i did WORKED. because i had the exact same problem.
hope this helps

that wasnt my problem - the sdcard was fine - problem was, i messed up the misc mtd-partition on nand. its solved now - see first page, last post
thanks for your reply anyways ^^

If you boot your device into bootloader, does it say UNLOCKED at the top? Chances are that it is still locked.

You need to be locked to update firmware.

I don't know if it's necessary but i relocked the bootloader to flash the firmware.
Here are the steps i performed
fastboot oem lock ( to relock the bootloader)
fastboot oem rebootRUU (note the capitals on RUU)
fastboot flash zip nameoffirmware.zip
I then reunlocked and flashed arhd custom rom
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I have S-OFF and for firmware flash you have to bel locked so on top I have ****RELOCKED**** and Hboot is on version 1.12

Got firmware flashed! Now I flashed recovery and when I booted to recovery I only get blank screen. So recovery is up but no graphics.

Please give more info. Does it just sit on a black screen
Is there anything at all on the screen
Does it just flash black and then carry on booting as normal
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

When I want to boot recovery it looks like it's booting and then it switches to completely black screen. When I press power button long enough i get three flashes on hard buttons on bottom and then phone powers down.

Below is my whole flashing procedure.

looks fine.
maybe the download of the recovery is defect or corrupt. did you try to download the recovery again and install it?

If I flash same recovery file when I have stock RUU 2.17 on phone it boots normally. So the file is OK.

But same problem
Can give me link for another to try plz

Pvillecomp.com. it should have all but the newer files. Try the froyo or gingerbread ruu there and read the help on the site. If you're still confused you can come back and ask questions. Also please report on your progress if you hit any issues or are successful.

Try reformating your sdcard fat32 with a pc. Then place only the ruu on the sdcard and try again. Sometimes that gets it to work.

My sdcard is FAT32 , I'm tired with it
When I try do it with android-sdk I get "FAILED (remote: not allowed)"

Even though its already fat32, sometimes reformating it gets it to work.
If your getting the remote not allowed message, it means the bootloader is still locked.

Thats strange, with the bootloader unlocked you should have no issues fastboot flashing cwm recovery. Download this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Guide_Root_New_Hboot/recovery.img, and place it on your pc in the same folder as fastboot.exe. Open a cmd prompt with the phone connected. The phone should be in hboot and say fastboot usb plug in red at the top. Type " fastboot flash recovery recovery.img ".

That sounds like a bad download/corruption of the PB file, or the version of ruu you are trying to flash is older than the version on the phone. Try this one http://dinc.does-it.net/Stock_Images/4.08.605.15/PB31IMG.zip

Hi
I am not really sure what i have done wrong here, but i have got myself to a stage where i can get to fastboot, but i cannot get to the recovery, if i select hboot then i get the following:
TWRP: teamwin screen flashes a couple of times then the device reboots
CWM: black screen the the device reboots
Stock recovery: android driod with a red exclamation mark then the device reboots
I have tried multiple recovery's as you can see.

WLAN does not work after 4.4 Update

Hey Guys,
i wanted to upgrade my HTC One M8 to the newest T-Mobile Germany Firmware. My HTC One was rooted and I had the TWRP Recovery with ViperRom.
I installed a Nandroid Backup with the 1.12.111.18 (4.3) Firmware. After that i installed the 1.57.111.2 Stock Recovery, than I relocked the Bootloader and after the Root was gone, I updated my Phone to the 1.57.111.2 (4.4.2), and now my WiFi is not working. I even upgraded to a newer Version of the Stock Recovery, but it still not working.
Here are some Information about my Phone.
