[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pavedwaves:
Resolved: It was an issue with the Leedroid beta rom I was using, installing the kernel update that is listed on his post on here fixed it up.

Hey all, I'm hoping I can get some help with this.

I just rooted my desire hd (telus version, if that matters) using this method: driphter.com/index.php?topic=3867.0. Now there are some posts on doing it differently with a telus version, but I belive this should have worked, and it did, perfectly, except can not access my phone via USB now. I have searched for solutions, the simpler one, using the fastboot oem eraseconfig which gives me this:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]

C:\Users\Dman>cd C:\AndroidFlasher\Data\

C:\AndroidFlasher\Data>fastboot oem eraseconfig

...

(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!

OKAY [ 0.000s]

And after looking through the other guide (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639) when I search for the cid, the output i get is :

I have no mtd0.img file on my phone,

and, I have :

(bootloader) Device CID is super CID

(bootloader) CID is super CID

(bootloader) Backup CID is TELUS001

(bootloader) setting->cid::TELUS001

Does this mean I need to restore something, or do I use TELUS001..

Hope to get some input on this before I go ahead and mess something up.

Sorry by the way, this is my first time messing with rooting and android though Im decent with linux..

Other question, in the mtd0.iso provided, do I need to change the number at the end to anything?

Thanks a lot to anyone who can help.

Edit: after reading a little more, I think I don't completely understand flashing, and I shouldn't be expecting to find that file on my phone, though my output still seems a bit odd and I'm wondering if i should be restoring something rather that creating the image from the file provided. Also whether the mod I'm using etc has to be entered into the mtd0.img i download at all? or just the CID? Lastly, probably a stupid question, what is the flash_image file for....

Live and learn

A little bit more info, it shows up in devive monitor as android device on two computers but still dows not give me any options on the phone
