[Q] HELP! Desire won't boot up, Clockwork mod recovery accessible

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!

[Q] Installed nexus rom on desire, now its not working

Hello all.
I am stupid I know. But I installed the evil nxsense HD v.0.9 on my HTC desire, didn't know it was for nexus.
So now my phone is *Edit*, I can only enter the Hboot and recovery menu, but cant restore my backup. I can also mount to usb so I can connect it to my computer.
Is there any hope, and what can i do?????
Drmalle

Boot into fastboot and flash an oficial ruu...u will need to re-root after that.

Thanks cris you just gave me hope
How will I know which ruuu rom to use, I google it, and found ALOT.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695667[/url]
found some here, any of them?

Does anyone know where to get the official htc desire ruu rom in zip. I can only find RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed, and that can only work if your phone is alive..
I need the rom you can flash in recovery???
Drmalle

Boot into fastboot on phone. Run ruu on windows (with phone attached to USB)

OR
Download this:
http://shipped-roms.com/download.ph...9.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_151783_signed.zip
Rename it PB99IMG and copy it to your sd card. Then just boot the phone into HBOOT (turn on whilst holding volume down) and follow the instructions

I ran the RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE in windows, and now the phone works.
So thank you everybody who helped.
BUT it cant find the sd card now, it says insert sd card. how do i fix that?
Drmalle

Take it out of the phone, format it in Windows (assuming you have a card reader and a micro to SD card adapter), put it back in phone and see if it works.
If not, it may be corrupt

Well i don't have that, can i just buy a new one and insert? or is there and other way.

Buying a new one is the quick way, but then again you could just buy/borrow a micro sd to sd adapter and use a PC with a card reader in it...

Ok thanks, im on my to my Friend
Who has a card reader, so hope it will work

[Q] Help! I wiped everything from HTC Desire.

Hi, please help I was messimg around in the recovery menu and some how I wiped the whole Htc clean. There is no os. I tried for a few weeks now but cant get any help on how to install a os. Everytime I try to install rom or origenal os it says aborted.
Any help will be great.
Thank you.
PS the phone wont sync.

If you wiped os, then there is no os and appl to sync against.
Few weeks? !
Go to Shipped roms. Htc Desire is Bravo. Find PB99IMG image you want to use. I would choose:
PB99IMG_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2_29_405_2_Radio_32_49_00_32U_5_11_05_27_release_151783_signed.zip
Then boot into recovery (power+back keys at the same time).
Then map sd card as usb and copy above file then rename it as PB99IMG.zip
Unmount sd. Take battery out, put it back and just press power.
Waitt until all is loaded and phone restart.........

If you have no custom recovery put sd card into reader and copy zip.
If more help needed, ask! !

Thank you all for the help will try now.

Then map sd card as usb and copy above file then rename it as PB99IMG.zip
How do I do that? Im dumb with these things.

No joy. It says.
CID incorrect
Update fail.
????

That means the RUU you tried needs a goldcard to enable you to flash it.
What ROM did your phone originally come with? Is it branded?

HC Desire bricked?

Hello!
Here is my story. 1 month ago I had install Leed Droid on my phone with partitions on card and everything was fine till I got some errors (like rebooting). So yesterday I had decide to go back to original ROM. Maybe I had done the steps wrong. Here is what I had done. First I had format my SD card in a SD reader to FAT32. And after that it had start my problems. The phone can not see the SD CARD and also the PC can't see the phone... so I can't install original ROM or put it on SD card to flash it from there if that is possible. I can go into bootloader and I had try to add files on SD card but can not see it it say:
can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
I had read abt this but coudn't solved the problems... so is posible to be USB bricked but I had follow the steps for that and didn't work... Any ideea?
P.S. I can boot Le3e Droid if I push recovery. But I can not install anything on card bc it can not see it
Here are the details of h-boot:
I have H-BOOT 0.93 0001
BRAVO PVT 1 SHIP S-OFF
MICROP 031D
TOUCHPANEL- SYNT0101
RADIO-5.17.05.08
Thanks!

It not necessarily bricked. It could just simply be that the format went wrong. Don't know on what OS you formatted it but windows isn't the tidiest in formating. Never experienced it on my phone but it happend to me with my digital camera. Camera wouldn't read it anymore. T
If you have access to an other sd card you could try flashing the rom from that card. I would test that first before you try something else.
Good luck

IT'S NOT BRICKED!
Had same issue before, fixed it easily just cant remember how... wait for some more experienced people.

Can't access SD card and PC doesn't see USB - can you help me?

This happened with me yesterday. To solve it, I partitioned the SD card in recovery, and everything seems to be fine so far

Well it can't see my card not even in recovery... so should I do the partition again? with EXT3 and fat 32? Personally I will like to go back to original ROM.

Yeah I couldn't see my card either, but going to advanced>partition sd card seemed to work.

where in advanced?

in recovery mode
Have you tried shut off the phone, pull of battery, put it back
Then press power + volume down
plug the phone
use RUU.exe ??

Sup dude, i hope this helps,
1st get another SD card, then format the card, full format not quick.
Then follow this guide, UNROOT By DoidZone
And see if that dont work for you.

My Desire stucks on the white htc-screen with the InsertCoin_GB_Sense2.1 A2SD+

Hey dude install the newest htc sync on your computer.
Then download the newest RUU for your phone then run it like any other program while your phone is connected to your computer. That should install your phones softwre the way it was when you got it. If tjat doesn't work try to reboot in hboot and then factory reset. Hope that helps.

I belive your desire is fine, and you just need sd card formating.
It happened to me four times.
Easiest way is to remove sd card from phone and put it into reader. My advice is usb reader. But sd reader will do also.
Download HP Usb formatting utility and format card. That will last some time. Now boot Gparted and format as you wish.
Or try with computer management disk and try to delete partitions on sd then format again.
Let me know if working.

Hello again!
I had buy another SD card and still my phone can't see he SD card...is not available... also the PC still don't see my phone... so I'm blocked to use Lee Droid. Of course can't do pics because of no SD card, can't injstal some programs...etc... I still wait for a solution from you... someone who had the same problem and fix it...
The only way my PC see the phone is when i go to bootloader... and if I try to run the RUU is starting... it say
: image version :version-main Failed (status read failed(too many links)) and if I push update
Thanks! is coming another screen it say:
from image version : version main FAILED (command write failed (unknown error) and when I push next it show it start the proces....waiting for bootloader and after that in 1 minute it say: error 171... the cable is not plugged.
Thx

Have you seen this ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6696983&postcount=1

I had close to the same problem as well

Press & hold vol down and power on the phone
Select fastboot by pressing the power button
ADB commands
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
fastboot reboot
That should fix your SD card not being detected.
Ok. I had try that but when I press power botton in fastboot it show me:
PB98DIAG.Zip loading...
Image not found
And it continue with other ... not found. So any ideea?
update:
Copied PD98IMG.zip to the SDcard, reobooted into recovery mode and it doesn't work!
On the HBOOT screen, I see:
Loading PD98DIAG.zip
Not found
Loading PD98DIAG.nbh
Not found
Loading PD98IMG.zip
Not found
Loading PD98IMG.nbh
Not found
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Even I am struck at the same position as the above post:
Loading...[PB99DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[PB99IMG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Except that mine is lookinh got PB99DIAG/img etc.
I have seen those comments about using the terminal emulator, but how to use it when the phone is not booted yet?
Also, adb devices does not show the device. So, not sure if the phone is correctly working.
Any next steps?

Nobody had find a solution?

[q] htc desire fully formatted accidentely

I have a problem and would a great help .. if possible ..
accidentally formatted the memory of my phone and the sd card .. hboot formatted by the boot, the system, and the data cache as well .. both the device as well as the sd card .. hboot by not recognizing the sd card and can not reinstall the rom you want .. how to resolve this issue? grateful to everyone who can help me.

can u get into recovery?
then u can mount usb and copy the rom onto your sd card.via windows and then flash it?

If you can get into hboot, means you can also get into fastboot (just hope you're s-off, but I think you are). You can flash recovery from there & then flash any other stuff you're missing.
Another option is to RUU it and root it again.

Desesperate
the hboot is not recognizing the sd card. is to remotely access the pc? grateful

use the ******* q&a section, damn it!!!

That doesn't really make sense!
press power + volume down at the same time from that menu select recovery by using volume buttons now press power button to get into recovery if you have that there should be option to mount sd-card. The same original menu has Fastboot option if selecting that gives you FASTBOOT USB you can flash hboots, radio etc.

wrong section: development is when u develop something
anyway, simple and fast solution for u: run an RUU
if ur phone is branded (btw never buy a branded phone ) u need a goldcard (search for it..not sure if u can still create it) or the right ruu from ur operator
