This is my first post on this forum (figures I'll jump head in when I have a serious issue,ha?)
Ok here goes:
My Issue: HTC Desire is stuck on boot-up screen with Green HTC logo forever.
How it happened: I tried flashing a script using ROM Manager that was supposed to correct some local language settings, over my current rom.
Phone state before action: Worked beautifully using Modaco R8 RC1 ROM. Phone is of course rooted.
Why I can't solve it myself: Well, this is my first serious issue (well, I hope it's not serious, actually!) with phone, which i've had for about a week , so I'm relatively a n00b.
-- I can access Clockworkmod recovery. However, under NANDROID RESTORE there are no files. I have no idea why, because I DID a full nandroid backup before that install. I have a copy of all the IMG files of the last working setup on my windows machine hard drive, and my assumption is that maybe I accidentally moved the files to the hard drive after i did that backup, instead of copying them.
Now -
1) Can I somehow restore the phone to a working state without the nandroid backup, using some other function of the CW Mod recovery?
2) Can I somehow connect the phone via USB to the computer and get it to read the Micro SD card so I could maybe move the IMG files I have back to SD Card (using a mounting option)?
3) Anything else I could try?
If nothing else, please just calm me down if you can and let me know the phone is fixable and not bricked because I can access recovery?! That would at least help me go through the night...
last note: Before I flashed the zip, ROM Manager said my CW Mod version is 2.0.5.7. Within the recovery itself, it says the version is only 2.0.5.1. Don't know why that is , and if it is important.

You could read the SD Card directly with your computer. If you don't already have a microSD/USB reader, they are very cheap and will prove very useful in situations exactly like this one.

You are right! Indeed they are very cheap, but, unfortunately it's going to be a game of patience for me, because it's late evening right now and the shops are closed.
That's why I Was wondering if there's an option to mount SD using HBOOT or Recovery so I could end this ordeal tonight...
Anyway, The fact I could get into CM Recovery means the phone was not permanently damaged, right?
Right, if you can boot into recovery it's a good sign.
I have an N1, not a Desire, but in my CM recovery menu under "partitions menu" there is a "mount USB storage" option. Try that?
Alternately if you own any other phone with a microSD slot that can mount it via USB, it could be your makeshift USB reader.
I have had a similar issue before! What I actually ended up doing was pushing the files using ADB. Its quite easy and I'm sure you can find lots of threads on how to use it. Once the files are pushed to your SD card you can then restore it
FIXED!

Problem solved! And yeah, that's how I ended up doing it.. no micro SD card reader was needed..
I installed HTC Sync for the device drivers... then connected the Desire with the USB cable .. and worked out of the problem using ADB commands..
luckily, the guy whose update I installed that caused the problem has the same ROM as myself, so I installed his framework.jar file , and the machine is fine yet again!
Hello guys,
I woke up too early this morning, and i accidentally knocked my phone off the stairs. It fell about 2 meters, bounced and then fell another meter, bounced and fell another meter and stopped.
Thankfully it was in a silicon case (i think that's what made it bounce) and there are no visible damages.
I picked it up, and it seemed to be working. After a few secs it went into sleep mode and would not wake up.
I removed the battery and rebooted, and i got the HTC screen, then the nexus boot screen and it stays stuck on the nexus boot.
I then entered recovery mode and thought i would try and restore my backup. I get the following message:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount /sdcard
I took off the SD card, put it my pc and it works just fine.
I got another SD card, copied a rom onto it and tried to reinstall through recovery.
I did a wipe/data factory reset and tried to install the rom.
I got the same message...
Is my Desire toast? It's only six months old...
I was running Defrost6.1 and using psfMod 0.9.7.2 as my recovery.
Any advice would be extremely appreciated.
Thanks
aalex
UPDATE
I did another wipe data / factory reset, and i rebooted.
The rom starts up, without any of my previous settings of course, but I still cannot mount my SD card.
From file manager, it seems that it is being mounted, but no files are listed...
When i try with gallery it reports "SD card unmounted or not present".
Any insights?
Drop it again, it helps

Can u mount the SD card as usb storage in clockwork recovery?
Also try to boot it up normal and
Wait till the battery dies. Then insert the SD card and try again to boot it (with usb cable connected to have some battery power) again.

With your SD card in your phone go into settings then storage and unmount SD card. Then format your SD card from your phones menu and it should mount the SD card see if that worked.

Hi ste1164,
Thanks for responding. My problem is that my phone cannot pickup the existence of an SD card.
This is a typical USB-brick. I've had one a few weeks ago. You should look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639&highlight=usb+brick.
If you're new to this, it can be hard to get it working again. Just let me know if you have any problems. It took me a few hours to get it done
From fastboot via ADB, execute "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" and then reboot it with "fastboot reboot" command.
See if it works.
If you don't remember how to do the above, just search.

its not a usb brick, thats a software brick.... it sounds to me like you have a corrupt sd card, sd cards are very delecate and this can happen from a sudden impact, try formatting the card in windows explorer, obviously you cannot format your sd-ext using windows so try gparted or ubuntu to format your other partition.

Can't be sdcard, op said tried sdcard in PC and tried different sdcard...same result, must be sdcard reader or something.
You never know, might be a USB brick, just happened before the drop and was brought on by the reset...but I agree probably is hardware fault.
Is it possible to flash stock rom from fastboot without sdcard? Could try warranty repair then...

sorry i didnt notice that, could be a usb brick but like i said thats S/W related and i doubt dropping your phone could cause such an error, +1 suppose the sudden reset could cause the usb brick especially if the device was reading or writing to the sd card when it happened, could also be the sd card reader in the device has been damaged or one of the internal components. can the device read the sim card? if it dosent, could be a usb brick
Just a thought...is the sdcard reader attached by a ribbon? (never seen the inside of my desire, hope I never have to)
I'm sure I've heard of a few desires that can't read sdcard anymore, I reckon it's either attached by ribbon or it's the most delicate part of the phone.
I'm hoping it's a loose ribbon because that's an easy fix, even I could do that.
Hey guys,
Thanks to all of you for responding.
My sim card works just fine. I can make and receive calls, texts, go online via 3g and Wifi, connect through bluetooth. As far as i can tell, my phone does everythind it did before except mount an SD card. Also, the android market keeps crashing, and if i try and download anything from the net i get a prompt saying that i need an sd card to download.
So far I took the SD card and put it in my pc. I formated it, tried again but it didnt work.
I then tried a brand new sd card and that didn't work either.
However, I did not format the old card's ext2 partition, and the new sd doesn't have an ext partition yet.
Would this point to a USB Brick as mentioned above?
Would it be possible for me to flash the stock rom on the device?
Thanks once again, to all of you.

Yes, that should solve your problem. I had the same problem a few weeks ago, but that included a malfunctioning usb, even charging didn't work correctly.
To fix the sd-card, you should run the above command using the tool fastboot, available in the Android sdk. After downloading, cd to the tools folder in the sdk and then run the command while your phone is connected to your pc in fastboot mode. Then it should work again.

Hey koenvbeek,
Thanks for the help. I think i may need a bit more of it
Here is what i did so far:
I used Nephrons guide to download and install ADB.
I then rebooted to bootloader. The phone displays "fastboot" and then when i plug it in it dispalys fastboot-usb
I then went to the ADB tools directory and tried to run the command.
I got a message saying the command cannot be run because adbwinapi.dll is missing from my system, and asking me to reinstall everything...
Clearly i made a mistake somewhere but where?
I don't think you made a mistake
Either the requested file is missing, or it can't be used by your computer. First check if the file is present. If not, google for it.
If it is present, your computer can't use it for some reason. Are you on a 64-bit OS? If you're on Vista/7: did you open the cmd promt as admin?
Yeah, nothing wrong, it's just that the API library is missing.
Download it from the attachment here, and put it in the "tools" folder, then try again.
Edit: As you can see it's in an archive, since dll attachment is not enabled here, so extract the file from it.
my friend was completly mindless. he used kernal manger to flash the cyanogenmod kernal to his phone. the phone is s-on and nothing works except the phone itself, it does not power properly it needs battery pull and plug ins to get it to start or it just vibrates 5x then freezes. it also does not recognize the sd OR pc, i cant get to it on the pc with correct drivers...its like its not there.
so i went to fix it for him and could not ruu due to the not seeing the device, and couldnt flash anything off the sd due to the sd being not recognized. he told me he had a failed unrevoked session and it put superuser on and cwm on. i CAN get to the hboot screen and when i go into recovery i get into cwm but nothing at all works...
i never saw a brick like this. i would like to call it a live brick dead lol
is it dead?

SD card not working? Do you have a card reader or another phone to put it in and format with? See if it is even recognized by anything else other than the phone.
I'm not sure but isn't an SD card necessary for CWM recovery to work?

Try some of the solutions above and let us know. Re-rooting or putting the RUU found here http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=108 on the SD card
My thoughts are the only fix i can see working would be to flash the RUU in hboot not cwm and then root it properly. That should work provided you can get it to read the sd card in hboot
SD card must be fat 32
the ruu you download must be named "PB31IMG.zip" the case is important it must be in all uppercase
and what you will do is put it on the sdcard using a card reader and your pc then put it in the phone then go into hboot it should read the card find the image and ask you if you wish to flash this. You should if it goes well have a stock phone... You can then run unrevoked again to root it this time...
can not access the sd card at all... sd card works fine in my computer... not mountable... can't figure it out...
Okay, so. I have an HTC One M8, rooted, S-On, TWRP, whatever else. It was running just fine until yesterday or so, when I wanted to switch out an icon pack, but wanted to keep my stock launcher, so I found Unicon on the App Store, and downloaded it (along with the Minimal Hero/Hera Icon Pack, or whatever it was called). As soon as I installed it, I started having problems with my phone restarting randomly, and I disabled the Icon Pack in Unicon, and got rid of Unicon (disabling it in Xposed Installer and then uninstalling the app).
That didn't solve my problems, though. I managed to somehow keep the phone on after numerous restarts, but every time my phone was turned off, it went into the same constant restart cycle (where it restarts about a minute after it's booted up). I tried searching for ways to remedy the problem, ending up in the TWRP recovery, where I tried wiping the cache and the Dalvik cache, which didn't help. I also uninstalled Xposed Framework and before that, tried disabling all the Xposed modules, nothing helped.
As things stand now, I did a wipe on all the categories in TWRP (including cache, Dalvik cache, internal storage, system and data) and when I rebooted from recovery, my phone was stuck with the HTC boot logo. Now I'm just letting it sit on my bed, showing the boot logo, waiting for it to drain.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I did a factory reset (perhaps stupidly) and now, when I reboot it, it says "No OS is installed!". Since it's not showing up on my computer while in recovery, how should I proceed to flash the stock ROM?
when you wiped the system partition, you wiped the ROM.
You should put a stock ROM on your phone and flash it.
Follow one of the returning to stock guides.

Excuse my stupidity, but could you point me towards one of those? I was looking for that, but didn't really find anything helpful.
Also, I know how to flash a ROM in its simplest form, but my phone's not booting and I don't know how to get a ROM file onto the phone itself, because it doesn't show up in the computer when in recovery. How do I flash ROMs from the computer or whatever?

I'm sure the search tools on this forum work just as well for you as they do me. Or you could probably start at a sticky thread.
You could also search for "adb sideload" and "adb push".

I might have missed this but did you do a recovery? Within TWRP you have the option of storing it on internal storage, or the sd card. If you did the sd card way, there might be hope. Just hold down power and volume up and when the screen goes dark, hold power down to get into recovery, then restore the backup. If it was on internal storage, its probably gone, and if you didnt make one, well..wouldnt an RUU fix that?
Also you did more then a plain factory reset...that would still keep the os etc installed..you wiped that sucker completely clean

Yeah, I know. I was idiotic. I'm just kind of a newb to the whole scene, and I panicked when my phone started acting up. It was stupid to wipe system too.
And yeah, I have an SD card and my computer has a reader for it. I can access my SD card, but how do I install something on my SD card from recovery? As far as I can see, it only lets me install form internal storage.

Take the SD card out and put it onto your computer, download a ROM and place it on SD Card. Insert card back into phone, boot into recovery and change location path to external SD card. There is an option for that.
Location where ROM is... of course.

There is, actually, no option for that. I got the ROM adb pushed to my phone and got it flashed, though, so it's all good now (despite the fact that I idiotically made myself lose all my internal storage data).

I know. I swear, I tried, didn't seem to work. Maybe something else's amiss elsewhere. In any case, I got it adb pushed to the internal storage, so it's all alright, phone's fine now. I'll look into the microSD thing, but I'm still glad I learned a bit more about Android in the process of recovering my device (because it's a path where most is yet untrodden for me).
And yeah, being on xda as such a newbie is sort of daunting, especially as I'm pretty impatient with people who don't understand as well something that I do, but I always hope for at least one paragon who helps, and helps with patience and friendliness (which I did get, so thank god).
Hi everyone !
Yesterday, I tried to install a new ROM (RR Android 7.1, the latest version).
I flashed the ROM with Gapps and rebooted the phone: I know the first boot is usually a bit long (15-20min according to my previous experience) but after 1h and no evolution, I decided to let the phone boot overnight.
This morning, it was still booting and when I plugged it to my PC and tried to transfer another ROM (to try again), it was no longer recognized ("the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected")...
I also tried to plug the micro-SD card directly to my PC, it's not even recognized (nothing appears in the Computer window after being plugged, just the connect sound).
Drivers have been checked already.
So, basically, I have a OS-less phone that cannot receive any file from USB (mounted or not, MTP activated or not)
I still have access to Bootloader menu and Recovery.
Does anyone have an idea I haven't tried yet ? :fingers-crossed:
It's not bricked by any stretch.
First of all, you should have made a TWRP backup before trying to flash a ROM. You should always do this before a new ROM, root, or other mods; just a simple and golden "phone modding" rule to live by; so I don't know why so many folks neglect this step. If you had a TWRP backup, you could simply restore, have a working phone OS, and go from there.
When trying to read the MicroSD card, does you computer have a card reader built-in, or are you using a USB card reader? If the latter, try another, if you have one. They can be finicky, especially the cheap ones. You can even use an old working phone as an impromptu "card reader" in a pinch (I've done it a few times).
When connecting the phone to your PC, are you booted to TWRP when trying to copy/paste a new ROM? Can you connect by adb when in TWRP (you typically should be able to). If so, you can try to adb push a ROM, or alternately adb sideload a ROM.
Also, just FYI, if the phone is stuck for more than 10 or 15 minutes with no response after a ROM flash, you can conclude something is wrong, and go back into recovery, re-flash, try another gapps package (frequent cause of stuck boots after flashing an AOSP ROM in my experience), etc.
Thanks for the reply ! That'll teach me a lesson...
The SD card reader is built-in to my PC.
I'm always booted to TWRP when connecting my phone, just tried the ADB Sideload command but nothing happens (except FAIL). Is there something I'm missing ?
Try to reinstall HTC drivers, and whatever adb/fastboot tools you are using. Try another USB port, and another cable.
Don't see anything that should prevent adb or just seeing internal storage from working. Usually just a case of drivers, etc.
Another thing you can try, assuming you are using Windows, go into Device Manager, find the device, and pick the option to manually select drivers. Then pick the generic Android MTP drivers. I sometimes have to do this to get my home PC to "see" the M8 on adb or to browse internal storage.

By the way, when not mounted. The phone DOES appear in "Computer" window but can't trasnfer anything in "Internal Storage" and my SD card shows up as a ~16Mb storage capacity while it's a 64Gb model...

Internal storage not showing anything, may indicate the storage is corrupted. Try going into TWRP, select Wipe, and tap the "Format data" button; and see if that helps. Obviously, any data will be lost during the format, but I think we're past that point anyway.
Although this wouldn't explain why you can't see anything on the SD card. Internal storage corruption happens fairly occasionally. But I've never seen it coincide with SD corruption/issues. So that part has me puzzled.

This morning I tried another ROM (Lineage) + Gapps and it worked just fine using ADB Sideload !
I can't thank you enough for your help, I was about to give up and buy a new phone :laugh:
Thank you very much !
