[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
Hi guys,

I got a problem:

I rooted my Desire PVT4 with unrevoked and AmonRa-Recovery under Linux Mint Live CD. Everything went fine.

Next, I wanted to prepare for flashing a new rom. I did a Titanium Backup and downloaded Rom Manager. I proceeded to do a nand-backup, which it did, I guess. After that, however, my desire didn't recognize my sd card anymore.

Connecting to Windows 7 didn't work either. (It did work before)

So I went and bought a new sd card. I formatted it and put it in my device. Still, no sd card detected.

Along with the new sd card, I got an adapter, so I can now stick the sd card directly into my computer.

Surprise: I could now see both sd cards in Windows. Still, I formatted both after backing up the files on it.

The Desire wasn't able to boot anymore, though. So I went into recovery mode and partitioned the card manually with AmonRa recovery 2.0.1. This did work.

I can boot the Desire now, but it still won't detect the sd card.

Mounting it with AmonRa doesn't work either.

I read, that the problem might be caused by using RomManager on a PVT4 device.

Installing the HTC drivers didn't help and I can't install the google USB drivers. When I try to do so it says that there were no drivers found in the specified directory (""C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver")

In the device manager it shows 3 "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" (bought it in Germany, so shouldn't it read "GSM"?). All of them are marked with a yellow question mark. Upon trying to update the drivers I selected "Install software from a list or source" and specified ""C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver". I clicked "proceed" but Windows tells me that it couldn't find the drivers. Tried that on Win7 and on my WinXP laptop.

I desperately need help. I'm no pro. Actually I am a complete noob :D I searched on google but I couldn't find any solution so far.

Since I can't access my sd card (except partitioning in AmonRa, that did work somehow) I can't access any .zip on my sd card.

e. Additional information:

Upon trying to mount in Amonra recovery it says:

""Can't mount /sdcard"

Same, when trying to flash a .zip from sd.

hboot version is 0.93 I think.

I tried the following:

Except that I used Linux Mint Live CD.

All I got was:

sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write/protected, mounting read-only
sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/sr0 already mounted or /mnt/cdrom busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sr0 is already mounted on /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/root
bash: cd: /mnt/cdrom/root: No such file or directory

Must I use TinyCore? I read somewhere that it only works for Hboot 0.8 and lower? What exactly is TinyCore anyways?

I almost know nothing about linux :(
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
No one?

Now I can't even get a signal anymore. :( I could cry...
[Desire General] vnvman:
Have you tried this procedure?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639

It worked for me when i bricked (pvt1 s-off). The problem seems to lie in the misc partition, which you have patch with the edited img file...
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
When I get into fastboot mode, where is the option to "'fastboot oem boot'"?

e. Also, my PC does not recognize the desire when pluggin into USB.
[Desire General] status_six:
You type that into cmd prompt window on your PC.

There are some instructions on SD card fix in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639
[Desire General] paul.c:
It happened to me when I partitioned the SD card in windows. Could you chech if your partitions on your SD are both set as primary and also uncheck "Take ownership of filesystem" (or something like that) when you are using the HD utility in linux.

Basically what happened was that the partitions were logical in stead of primary. Banged my had in the wall for two days before I figured this out. Hope it helps.
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
I'll try the Usb-brick-fix first. But how do I find out which rom version I have? I managed to get my CID by typing "fastboot oem boot" in the command prompt.

e. This is what I get upon writing the command:

http://www.abload.de/img/unbenannt7njw.jpg

e. I noticed, it says "board_bravo.disable-sdcard=1"

what does that mean?
[Desire General] vnvman:
I guess it means that sdcard can't be mounted...anyway, have you done the hexeditor thing already?
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
I just put the two files on the sd card and rebooted in fastmode. However, I'm not sure about my rom version. Where can I find out which one I have?

e. I just typed "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image" in ConnectBot, but it says "cannot create /data/flash_image: permission denied"

e.. When I type in "su" first, it still says "/sdcard/flash_image: No such file or directory"
[Desire General] vnvman:
Oh sorry, i didn't read that...well i remember i was confused about that too at this point...too bad i can't remember how i found out.

Anyway, i found another solution on modaco:

"2. Enable the SD Card functionality. Boot your phone in FASTBOOT mode (back + power), and enter this command: 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' . This will re-enable your SD card.

3. Put THIS (attached) update.zip on your sdcard.

4. Reboot into recovery.

5. Apply sdcard:update.zip.

6. This will automatically fix your MISC partition with the correct CID. Reboot, and your done!"

Try this and tell me if it works in the while :)
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
I just booted into fastmode again and typed "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" into the command prompt.

Now the Desire detects the sd card again :thumbsup:

Now I will try to use the cat command again.

e. I just did the thing with the "update.zip". Rebooting now.

e. I got my sd card back and a phone signal. That's great so far. Now what?
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
Still, when typing

"cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image"

I get

"/sdcard/flash_image: No such file or directory"
[Desire General] vnvman:
I guess you're done if it worked...are you able to connect normally to your pc now? You should be :s

Also, those commands are meant to be used in a terminal emulator, not on your pc, i hope you didn't misread...anyway if you used the modaco tip you shouldn't need that anymore.

When you're done remember to copy your misc folder to a safe place, it will be enough to replace it via root explorer or similar if someday you'll brick again...
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
Nope, can't get it to connect to my PC quite yet. But I hope I will get that to work after rebooting the phone and/or windows or installing the htc drivers again.

I can not thank you enough right now. I was going crazy about this. Just bought my desire recently, upgrading from the Legend, with the little spare money I had. It would have been bad, if it was broken now.

So: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Also, someone tried to call me yesterday, while my phone signal didn't work. Now everytime I start the Phone, it shows me my missed call.

My girlfriend has a similar problem with a message I sent her. Everytime she boots her phone, she gets that message (fortunately it's "I love you" :D).

So, I guess, it has something to do with the SIM?
[Desire General] vnvman:
Hmm, if you can't connect it might mean that the usb isn't fully restored...could you turn off the phone, plug it to pc, turn it back on and see if drivers get installed properly? Just to make sure...
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
I am stupid.

Hold on, it might work now. I had to switch to "local" in ConnectBot. Thought the app would remember that, but it didn't
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
Hmm.

Do I have to be in fastboot mode to type in those commands? Because I did type them in and rebooted, but Windows still will not detect my Desire :/

or should I type them in the windows command prompt?
[Desire General] vnvman:
Sorry, i'm not sure i got ya. How would you run connectbot while you're in saftboot mode?? Because that's what i did, to make it clearer:

1. Downloaded image file "mtd0.img" and "flash_image" (from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639) and put them on sdcard (ofc i edited mtd0.img with my CID using some free hex editor before)

2. Installed Android Terminal Emulator app (from market), but connectbot should be the same.

3. Opened emulator, typed "su" command, accepted to give root permissions

executed this commands:

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

cat /sdcard/misc.img > /data/misc.img

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image misc /data/misc.img

4. Rebooted phone, connected to pc.

5. Success :)

Is this exactly what you did?
[Desire General] Eiskrem-Kaiser:
Yes. I typed exactly that. I just wanted to type it in again, but now it tells me again, that there is no such file or directory on /sdcard. But I can see the file with Astro being on the sdcard.

e. Maybe I used the wrong rom version number?

e.. Someone suggested to run in fastboot mode and type "fastboot oem eraseconfig". What exactly would this do? Which config would be erased?

What exactly is fastboot?
[Desire General] vnvman:
You just need the CID, not the rom version for this...

Anyway, please note that when i write misc.img i mean mtd0.img, that's what you typed right? Sorry if i confused you.

I guess there's no need to mess further with fasboot, i didn't need it, except for mounting sdcard.

If this still fails, you can always move mtd0.img and flash_image to /data manually via root explorer app, then go on from the chmod command.

how can i create a shortcut that will always take me to the dialer/keypad. what i mean is that if check my call log and the press return button, next time i will open phone app it will take me to the log tab which makes me to use my other hand to tap on keypad tab.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bsuhas:
Hey, I found a solution (after almost year after the problem was posted)

Create a temp contact with some minimum number. ex. you can create a contact named 'dummy' and number as 0 or +91 which is applicable for every number you dial in India. Install DesktopVisualizer. then create its widget(1x1) and ask it to launch shortcut of type 'direct dial', select above created contact as target. Now, DesktopVisualizer has a limitation that from a widget, it can not directly dial a contact instead it will launch dialer tab with that number typed in there. We can use this limitation to solve our purpose. Check check box that says launch dial pad blah blah. and done. this widget click will launch dialer tab for you. the number we gave is 0 or +91, so it dose not affect dialing any number ahead.

Problem Solved.

It appeared to be a hardware problem afterall. The problem was in the solders of the sim-card-holder.

I have the following problem with my Kaiser.

It happened for a second time.

First time was about an year ago...

Suddenly the phone stops to recognize my SIM Card. It says "Sim Card Missing".

When I put my SIM in another phone it works just fine.

When I put another SIM card in MY phone - it works too.

The only thing that does NOT work is MY Sim Card in MY phone :-).

Last time I tryed to change it for free by my operator, but there was the same situation - MY Sim Card worked in every phone in the operators shop, except mine and they said that I must pay for the new card. So I did and the new card works just fine since now.

First time my Kaiser was with the Stock Rom 6.0.

Now it is flashed with Stylez Black 6.1 Rom.

That`s why I don`t think the problem is ROM related...

Anybody have had the same problem ?!?!

Is there any way to fix it without paying for a new SIM card ?

Thanks in advance.

/sorry for my English :-)/

I'm looking for a Stock HTC Sense ROM with excellent Data2EXT.

I'm trying Starburst at the moment, but I've had some major issues that have resulted in me having to reinstall.

HTC messed up big time when they decided 148mb internal memory was enough. It isn't. So now I need a ROM that is stable, stock, but has data2EXT.

I was using data2sd for month supporting DroidZone and his roms.

Droidzone's ROM's are great but Sibere's implementation of DATA2EXT doesn't play nicely with quite a lot of SD cards. AlexV's works with cards that Droidzone's lag on. (AlexV's uses Ownhere's data2ext script which is apparently more liable to data loss than Sibere's, but I never lost data on either).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldinmurguz:
is data2ext with class 10 sd card, stock hboot and s-off the best performance scenario or....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You do not need S-OFF for data2sd. And you do not need to use stock hboot. The big advantage of data2ext is nearly unlimited internal memory.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldinmurguz:
But would it benefit in some speed and stability if I found a ROM with data2sd, or in another words:

What's the best scenario on HTC Desire, data2ext/data2sd/a2sd wich hboot and so on ????

I have a class10 16GB card and my priority is speed and stability!!!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
A fast sd card is important for data2sd. And when the data2sd script is well-programmed (like supernova extreme or miui x-part), you won't have any speed/stability issues.

And there is no "best scenario" in general. You have to test which configuration fits your preferences best.

I try installing any apps but the installation bar continues endlessly. I repaired the phone back to SE Original and that way I can install apps and it shows me the size of them. I root it again installed minicm, new froyo 0. 20 and it happens the same.... no app install and always "computing" on application manager.. its really weird and i ve tried erasing everything on xrecovery and still nothing... anyone???

why you flashing ROM 50 times?? This is not good for your phone, you shoud format data and system and also cache in xRecovery and than repair with SEUS or PC Companion to get fresh 2.1 and root your phone and put xRecovery and CHOOSE a good ROM for your requirements, so you do not need to flash your phone with different ROM and brick your phone...
