[SOLVED]USB BRICKED+SDCARDnot Recognize+Heavy Battery Drain

To all Who are experiencing the problem I faced...Illustrated HERE..
And this is What I've Triedhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19562122&postcount=8 to solve until got a FIX
I am writing this because I am getting PMs for help..and For the future Problems..
A Big Thanks to ckpv5... He helped me through out the days...
The Phone must be S-OFF and must got ROOT access to use this
Here is the Solution .. ..
After this you will have SD-CARD RECOGNIZED+NO BATTERY DRAIN..EVEN BETTER BATTERY BACKUP See my screen Shots
STILL GOT PROBLEM UNSOLVED ..PM me I'll TRY TO SOLVE
SOLUTION
1. First of ALL..do install ADB in you PC and on your Device(If it is bricked.. don’t worry it has adb shel on this already) see help from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690362
Note these commands carefully ..and save these as txt in PC for further help
adb devices
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
2. Download these(http://www.multiupload.com/5ZAPJTFXMM) and put them into C drive after UNZIPING by 7ZIP...
3. Put a recovery.img named file of AMON RA recovery.. download from here(http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0.img)
4. Reboot your phone in BOOTLOADER ...Power on by pressing FIRST BACK BUTTON and than POWER simultaneously..
5. Open Command Prompt in PC.. for Windows7 type cmd in search at START button... for XP type run at START search..
6. Go to the directory in cmd prompt....as...
“cd C:\android sdk\tools”
7. Type
“adb devices” Let it load
“adb shel” Let it load
“fastboot erase cache”
“fastboot reboot-bootloader”
“fastbooot oem enableqxdm 0”
“fastbooot oem eraseconfig”
“fastboot erase cache”
“fastboot reboot-bootloader”
NOTE: Do remember to do all above command together and by sequence only...
8. Now it is time to flash the recovery..
9. Rename the download recovery image as “recovery”
10. Put this img file in to “C\android sdk\tools” folder
11. Open command prompt again..
12. Type
“adb devices” Let it load
“adb shel” Let it load
“fastboot erase cache”
“fastboot reboot-bootloader”
“fastboot flash recovery recovery.img”
“fastboot erase cache”
“fastboot reboot-bootloader”
13. Now remove the SD card from the phone and connect it to PC via card reader or anything by which u can easily connect..
14. Put the ROM.zip in the SD card
15. Put the SD card back in the Phone..
16. PowerOn the phone in fastboot mode by pressing VOLUMEDOWN first and than POWER simultaneously..
17. Use volume keys to go up and down..and power to select
18. Go to recovey and press power button..
19. In recovery just go to the WIPE.. and do WIPE of cache..dalvik cache..boot..system...sd-ext...Battery Stats..
20. Now reboot recovery..
21. Now after coming back to recovery in Phone choose INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD..
22. Simply choose the ROM.zip file...
23. Let it Flash
24. Wait
25. And
26. ENJOY!!!!!
The PROBLEM IS NO MORE..
Your phone will RECOGNIZE the SD card..

Hey, Think I have the battery drain problem with runnymede AIO Rom, was it flashing AMON RA recovery that solved it? or the whole process? I don't have an SD problem.

for the battery Drain problem.. you can do following things..
1. Wipe Battery stats
2. Install snq kernel
3. If above two doesn't work than only... try the two "oem commands" as I writtten in the procedure..
Actually every time you flash a ROm or everytime deleting and using the phone.. a extra data related to everything as cache configuration is stored in the MEMORY which acually u can not see but it eats battery...
The oem commandsd erases that thing and after this..it is like a new memory having completely blank..
BUT AFTER DOING THIS YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER ANY DATA ON PHONE MEMORY IF ACCIDENTLY DELETED..
you will need to flash a new Inatall of same ROM..or whichever you want...

YES! You saved my sanity AND my phone! many many thanks!

I am a bit lost...
ADB cannot be used when the phone is in bootloader. So after the instruction to put the phone in to bootloader the proceeding instructions which say:
type adb devices [enter]
type adb shel [enter]
won't achieve anything. In other words, adb devices (whilst the device is in bootloader) will not find any attached devices.
adb "shel" isn't a valid command. Do you mean adb "shell" ? If so, this too isn't going to work while the device is in bootloader, adb will simply reply with "error: device not found".
So I guess what I'm trying to ask is - what is the point of those typing those two commands? In this instance, they don't serve any purpose and can be omitted?

everything is written clearly...
these two commands repairs the USB brick also improves battery life and gives exact information about battery uses.. you will see this after flashing a ROM..
adb shel is correct command..it open the list of commands and details of phone...
Tell me what you need.. than i may solve the problem..

by saying not able to recover any data is just.. if you are using any recover data application from market to recover anything which have been lost by mistake.. than you won't be able to..
BTW this Problem rarely occurs...

I' ve done this as you said in your 1st post but still Display uses more than 60% of battery use (i set brightness to minimum, all is set up to minimum and power saving)

Have you Downloaded the Tools from the link I've provided

If you have 4ext recovery boot into it and go to tools - usb unbrick. It works for me fine.

Copy files to computer from fastboot?

For some unknown reason my phone just kept randomly restarting itself, which started about 2 hours ago. It turns on for about 30 second then just restarts again. I cant even turn it off? I turn it off quickly as soon as it boots up but it just turns on again and goes in a loop.
I was wanting to know is there anyway to take files such as photos off the device without actually turning it on e.g via fastboot before i factory reset it? Since HTC in all their wisdom didn't include removable storage or battery
Cheers

Files in /sdcard (e.g. photos from camera apps) do not get wiped with factory reset. Erasing storage will erase /sdcard.
Have you tried fastboot erase cache?
Have you tried holding down power+vol down?

Tell you what I think it is, Swiftkey 3.
It came up the first time saying "Swiftkey has stopped working" then hit ok, few second later restart.
I have enough time to get into to setting and apps to unistall it but even after that it restarts, I check apps next time and its still there. It wont unistall?!

Try clearing Swiftkey's data and cache before uninstalling?
If that doesn't work..:
Hold the power button and vol down until you get into bootloader..
Go into bootloader, enter fastboot
Then do in cmd:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Try start the phone.. If it starts ok, try uninstall Swiftkey through Titanium Backup.
If that doesn't work, go back to fastboot, wipe cache, go to recovery, factory reset, clear cache, advanced -> wipe dalvik cache.
Then try installing your ROM's zip from SD card.

Cheers for the reply but unfortunately i don't have it rooted or custom recovery on it at the minute
Is there anyway to unistall an app through stock recovery?

All I can say to that is 'Oh'. Didn't realise that, sorry! :cyclops:
Here are two things you can try:
1. Reboot the phone into bootloader (if off hold down power down and volume down to turn on, if the phone is already on, keep on holding down the buttons until you get into bootloader) and using the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select, select 'fastboot' (if you don't see fastboot, you will see 'HBOOT', select this then fastboot.
Download these files. Extract them to their own folder and then open a command window in that location by holding down SHIFT while right-clicking and select 'Open command window here'.
When it opens, type:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
then hit enter. Reboot the phone and see if 1) it doesn't turn off again 2) you can clear Swiftkey's data and cache then uninstall. If that doesn't work, try the other method.
2. Reboot the phone into bootloader, select 'fasboot' again, then navigate to 'Factory Reset' and select that.
You may want to wait a while and see if anyone else can offer another solution, but you can do that if you want it fixed now and don't mind losing apps. There might be an option to preserve SD card contents, or it may not even effect them, I'm not 100% sure.
Edit: Haha, just realised you are from Northern Ireland too :laugh: And we joined in Oct 2010. And we have posts in the 90's. :highfive:
I'll probably head off at about 2:30AM as I am getting quite tired, so I will have to wait until the morning to help you.

Haha legend, what a coincidence!
Well I did get into the Stock Recovery and from there hit Clear Cache but it keeps restarting.
I dont understand how the hell the an app wont unistall though thought, it starts up long enough from me to unistall successfully but it restarts and its still there. I know there is a command through ADB to unistall apps but i dont know where abouts to be to use the ADB. Last time i messed around with ADB was my Desire HD half a year ago.
I might see if I can get in long enough to back up stuff. I got the photos on dropbox but it really annoys me the way android does not have a backup feature for apps and save data or that it doesnt let you access app saves.
Let us know if you have any mroe ideas!
Cheers

I think the 'clear cache' in recovery doesn't work, at least, that's what I've heard and found out..
Do it through fastboot with
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Also, to use the adb commands (as well as fastboot), the phone must be on and USB debugging must be on. You will need the files I posted earlier, and you will need to open a command window in their folder..
Use the command:
Code:
adb uninstall <package name>
Swiftkey's package name is
Code:
com.touchtype.swiftkey
(I think)
Again, try clear the app's cache and data when in 'app info' before uninstalling.
Good luck though! :good:

You can't from fastboot but you can from recovery so long as you boot it using fastboot and not selecting the option.

Then adb commands will work in cwm.

I think this is right, however, Treebill, OP hasn't rooted, nor do they have CWM.

My head is absolutely melted here trying to get the piece of sh*t working.
And if must be swiftkey because im in safemode at the minute and the phone hasnt restart yet.
At least this gives me time to get stuff off the sd card before resetting it all.

Holy good **** im at my wits end here. It wont even let me do a factory reset now!!
Both from the recovery menu and from the phone it goes to the screen with the phone and green arrows going in circle then after about 10 seconds the red exclamation mark comes up!
wtf is this phone at? Am I doing something wrong?

You are still under warranty, why don't you just use that? If you don't want to use it, then just unlock your bootloader and take the easier way...

I tried rooting the phone but after hitting yes on the phone, the phone restarts and nothing has changed. I tried flashing a custom recovery, it said ok in command prompt but it is just the standard recovery when i click into it......

Do a factory reset, it doeznt wipe your memory photos etc

Tried unlocking it mate. I do the whole thing then the HTC Warning message shows up on the phone "Do you want to unlock your phone, This will wipe everything etc etc" Click yes, the HTC screen appears, phone restarts and nothing has happened. I seriously thing its a hardware related problem now because i went on and accessed my memory card when the phone was on for a bit deleted things, phone restarted and check memory card again and they were still there :s

This is where it get's stuck but:
It still reacts on USB connects changing from 'HBOOT' to 'HBOOT_USB_PLUG' but navigating or selecting an option is not possible.
Another thing, making me wonder, is that this screen appears, after just hitting the power button - it's not necessarry to kepp VOL Down pressed...
Hopefully someone can help me out of this,
Thanks in advance,

Setup adb/fastboot.
Download the 4ext recovery img:
http://www.4ext.net/ddl/bravo/recovery.zip (extract the zip), and put it in the platform-tools folder of where your android sdk is.
Boot the phone into fastboot (hold power and back), then use this command:
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
Once your in recovery do a full wipe and flash a ROM.

It needs to be recognized by fastboot not adb. Download and install HTC sync then uninstall it leaving only the drivers behind. Also install these: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then boot the phone into fastboot mode (power and back) and run "fastboot devices" to see if it's recognized. If it is follow the instructions in my first post.

I'd like to "install" this recovery now, as I did before on my HD2 in the past but this is far long ago, so sorry for this stupid question:
How to replace the actual existing Recovery with the booted 4ext one?
On 4ext.net I found a way with a booted rom, but without...
Later on, I'd like to flash CyanogenMod 7, so I already downloaded the suggested PB99img_cm7r2.zip.
I remember this has s.th. to do regarding partitioning, right? What do I have to do with this file?
Can I flash this with fastboot ?
During usual bootloader startup it says "No image or wrong size"
AS you may see, I know a little, but it's damned long ago...
Sorry for my worse english, but I don't know how to describe this better
Hopefully you can help me anyway,
Thanks a lot in advance!!

Use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to fully install the recovery. Rename the hboot(partition) file you downloaded to "PB99IMG.zip" and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot the phone into hboot and it will search for the file. When it finds it select yes to install it then reboot.
Go into recovery and wipe everything except the SD card then flash the ROM.

Hi,
thanks a lot for these great hints, but sadly I'm unable since yesterday to enter fastboot mode
System always starts into HBOOT - and dies, weather I press any additional keys to the power button or not...
Any alternative way to enter fastboot mode?

I know and this worked yesterday, but it started with problems, as mentioned above.
Today I never had access..

Need help with my HTC Desire!

So I formatted my SD card and now when I turn on my phone, all i get is a splash screen that says revolutionary 2.1+3.0. I cant do anything from there, none of the buttons work or anything.
edit: i just realized that my phone has s-on but how do i disable this

Edit 2: Sorry for the lack of information. I just used revolutionary and it says s-off now and I was able to flash the cm rom using fastboot from android sdk. Now it is stuck in a bootloop (i think?) and it just says android on the screen and wont go anywhere else.
i now have revoultionary cwm v4.0.1.4 installed...

before, i think i could boot into android but nothing would work. i couldnt touch anything and the physical buttons did nothing.
thanks!

One does not simply disable s-on.
Post your bootloader details. Does the phone boot into android?

i have s-off now using revolutionary but my phone is not booting... just stuck at a screen that has "android" across it and it looks like its just forever loading.
when i first go into my bootloader, it quickly loads something and i believe it says no img file. i formatted my sd card and everything was erased.

Try going to recovery, and wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache.

thanks for the suggestion but when i go into recovery, i cannot select any of the options. i hit the power button and the screen just goes blank and nothing happens. i hit the power button again and it goes back to the recovery menu.
i installed cm but maybe i need some other sort of image? when i formatted my sd card everything was erased including the os, htc sense, etc.

This will probably fix your problem:
1. Download this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1631968&d=1357780284
And install it using these instructions (ignore the stuff about the 2.3 RUU):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45298337&postcount=21
It's 4ext recovery.
2. Download a GB rom, like MildWild :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2031467
And flash it. This ROM will surely boot.

thank you so much for your help so far. i have installed 4ext recovery but when i boot into recovery to install the mildwild rom, it says unable to mount the sd card.
i tried using the usb unbrick tool from the 4xt recovery and that didnt work.
i used the fastboot oem enableqxdm 0; fastboot oem eraseconfig commands in fastboot which didnt work (if i typed the commands wrong here, they are just from memory)
i redownloaded the mtd0.img and flashed it using fastboot and that didnt work either.
any ideas?

Do you have any other sd-cars laying around? Try it instead.
If not, format your sd-card again. I don't know what's wronf with it, but it seems it has some problems.

Update: i think my fastboot doesnt work for some reason... flashing the rom and mtd0.img didnt work but when i just copied them into my sd card directly it did work fine. my rom is installed...
also when i go into hboot, it still says no image...

Fastboot works fine.
1. You can't install a ROM through fastboot. Only images.
2. The 'No image' thing comes when you don't have a pb99img.zip on your sd-card. The bootloader scans the sd-card for that zip.
