After step1 of the rooting process (flashing the testimage.zip) you'll have root access.

If you brick it there, you'll be able to boot into android, restore SD card via fastboot and reflash the misc partition to fix the brick.
[Desire General] i6bazar:
Ok thanks :)
[Desire General] vrodic:
Front ports are weaker than back ports, since the front ones are not directly connected to the motherboard, and the cable from the MBO to the ports could be bad. I have problems using my external 2.5" 320GB WD drive if I connect to FRONT or USB HUB ports. Only back ports work reliably.
[Desire General] kingofthebraves:
I just bought my Desire coming from the N1 and I've been trying my best to catch up lol. I'm still a noob at this whole thing but it seems to me that the stuff available for the N1 is ten times the amount available for the Desire. Roms are all at early stages of development and correct me if I am wrong but a very foolproof recovery image has yet to be done?

Aside from running fro-yo, what are the benefits of rooting and flashing? Most roms are not packing sense and I love sense. Whats the deal with that? Are we still waiting for something to be released?

Thanks
[Desire General] xlxl:
is there a way to root and flash without got "bricked" first?

because i am still afraid of get bricked....:o
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
There is still always a risk of bricking.

You can always fix it (because after step1 you'll have root access)

[Desire General] Dr.Meemoo:
hi there ..

how is are you our legends ??

I'll go directly to my issue ..

you guys have done a great job in solving the USB-Brick issue for the HTC-Desire ,, and the solution as you mentioned is there on Modaco forums !!

but I had very difficult days trying to understand it and apply it as well ..

I'm a Newbie in these things and I didn't get how and where to write the commands (e.g. "/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img") ..

and another issue, a prerequisite of writing the "mtd0" (as it's mentioned in there method" .. is to have the phone rooted b4 proceeding !!

So, to have it rooted i need "in one of the steps of rooting" to enter the green recovery screen by the command "step2.sh" >>> and her comes my big problem .. I can't .. and I get a reply of "device not found" ...

I Know I bothered you with my long speech :) .. but please .. please .. it will mean a lot to me if you could help ,,

I just bought my Desire 3 days ago ,, and I had it good for only one day .. then :( i lost it ..

I hope you will not be irritated ,, and I'm sure that you'll help me ..

FYI .. I have access to both Linux and windows ,,
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
You will be rooted after step1 of the rooting process.

If you have done this properly, you can boot into android and flash the misc partition as you please.
[Desire General] Dr.Meemoo:
thanks a lot ...

I've done the 1st step of rooting ,, but I didn't get the flashing and how to solve the SMcard issues ,,

I connected the device in the fastboot state ,, and when I enter the command " fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" in the linux terminal i have a reply of " fastboot:command not found" !!

what to do please ??
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
Are you in the directory with the fastboot executable?

(Same dir as therooting scripts)
[Desire General] Dr.Meemoo:
yes I'm ..

is there any specific file you suspect is missing from the directory ??
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
The fastboot executable?

I think the command should be "./fastboot ..."
[Desire General] Dr.Meemoo:
didn't get it ,, in the directory there is a file called "fastboot-linux"!!

what should I type in the terminal ???
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
Since you're running linux running./fastboot-linux sounds like the way to go to me.

"./fastboot-linux oem enableqxdm 0"

should reenable the SD Card.
[Desire General] Dr.Meemoo:
it did ,, thanks a lot ,,

I then proceeded to the next step in the phone terminal emulator ..

I entered all the commands :

SU

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

cat /sdcard/mtd0.img > /data/mtd0.img

but when I reached the last line I was faced with "sdcard/mtd0.img no such file or directory" ??

what to do ??
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
I assume you have an USB-Bricked device and you want to restore functionality by flashing your misc partition with valid contents from a misc.img file?

Did you follow the steps to create a valid misc.img (with your CID?) and put this file on your SD Card?
[Desire General] Dr.Meemoo:
thanks a lot my friend ,, I followed the steps carefully and I'm now un-bricked :)

Segmentation Fault

Hello

my legend got bricked usb and sd

sd was resolved in without any trouble but now USB :

i followed the steps in the modaco forum but get an segmentation fault when i try to run the /data/flash_image command

i thought it might be error in the mtd0.img file but even without parameters it gives an error

did anyone else get this problem ? and how can i get it fixed ?

the phone works fine now exept for the usb
[Desire General] Rudolfje:
You must be doing something wrong...

In short:

Boot into android,

open terminal emulator,

become root,

copy the binary flash_image and the image mtd.img onto your phone with the 2 'cat' commands.

Make the binary file executable by chmodding it.

Run the file with the proper parameters.

i have hboot 0.93 and s-off...what options do i have if i want to return my device??
[Desire General] JDima:
Hello.

I 've got a Desire SLCD device with hboot 0.93 that looks like it's USB bricked - USB doesn't work even in recovery. However, when connecting to the PC in fastboot, it doesn't show up at all. "fastboot devices" is also blank. "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" shows "waiting for device". I've flashed the healing update.zip from modaco - flashed successfully, but no effect. The SD functionality was never lost.

How do I restore it?
[Desire General] sretlow:
I had also the USB brick. Afteren using adb and nandroid restore it seems to be solved. Only bluetooth isn't working anymore. I can't turn it on. After turning on it's automaticly turned off.
[Desire General] dzam72:
Bluetooth doesn't work because of the USB Brick bug. You will find it's not really solved by doing the restore - are you able to connect via USB ? In any event, performing the above fix also corrects the bluetooth issue.
[Desire General] abz54:
Hi,

I've almost recovered from having a total brick, I have tried to change some settings in terminal emulator but no folders have been created, I also have better terminal emulator, if somebody could show me how to create these folders n where they are it would be great, I have tried to create them manually via astrology but it gives me permission denied
[Desire General] justjustin82:
Hi,

HTC Desire (HTC__001) - GingerVillain 2.5 - 2.6.38.4

Since rooting,

-ADB and Fastboot work fine

-SdCard is fine, never any problems

-No bluetooth/fm radio problems

-No charging problems

-Wifi ok

The Real Issues are:

-Turn on USB-Storage(Debug On OR Off), phone Reboots

(Battery Life is also terrible)

I can copy to/from device over wifi and have tried all the fixes mentioned and read many of the posts in these threads.

When i tried the "/data/flash_image misc /data/mtd0.img" i get segmentation fault which i believe is due to wrong rom version in mtd0.img.

I used my CID HTC__001 and 2.6.38.4 as rom version but i've been led to believe this value in mot0.img needs to be a 10 character number.

I have only seen rebooting mentioned in relation to charging, am i Usb-Bricked ?!?

Any help at all greatly appreciated, or even a shove in the right direction.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
You really shouldn't start flashing your misc partition, if you don't know, if anything is wrong!! And no you have absolutely nothing indicating that your phone is usb-bricked. Also the version number should not be altered, as this is just indicating the latest version you have been run in order for official updates not to downgrade, and the version number you are referring to is the kernel version. Mine is still showing eclair version of original roms, as i haven't flased another original rom for it to be updated.

To fix you problem, my first attempt would be to make a nandroid and completely wipe your device and reflash the entire rom. And if that doesn't work i would try another sd-card just in case, but im pretty sure the rom is causing the problems.
[Desire General] justjustin82:
Thanks a million, total noob here, backed everything up, then wiped and flashed DevNull, worked a charm.

Problem-After i flashed gingervellain 2.5 rom successfully when i tried to browse the market my phone started to reboot and bootloop.

After that when i tried to restore my nandroid backup from cmw recovery i saw some error e:\misc,mount partition error so nandbackup restore failed

I can't mount my sdcard and all my usb functionality r gone and then i flashed stock pb99IMG.update from fastboot as ruu.exe is not working due to usb brick.

then returned on stock rom(S-on) without any usb functionality.

Solution(This is for people who got stuck with usb brick in stock rom with S-ON)

after i messed up everything I did the steps below and successfully usb unbricked my desire and now i am again rooted(s-off) with rcmix HD rom :)

after i unlocked my sd card via fastboot command sd card recognized by phone and i can browse it via file explorer.

then i put the visionary+(it gave me temporary root access which is needed to work this whole thing out).

root explorer,terminal emulator apk and those usb bricked update file(image_flash,mtd0.img) to sdcard from pc via card reader and installed them.

before put those update file on sd card i edited the mtd0.img to put correct cid n rom info via hex editor.

after that i put those update file in phone memory

/data/data/ and set permission for r/w and execute with the help of root explorer as i got root permission

Then i simply put this command in terminal emulator

"su

/data/data/flash_image misc /data/data/mtd0.img"

Rebooted my phone and voila usb brick is gone htc sync,usb tethering,sd card mount,charge everything is working

Note-you don't need the rageagainstthecage file which only need if you try to get root access via terminal emulator which is lengthy n complicated but with visionary+ you can get root access with 1 click and it's much easier than typing command in T.E..

and another thing if ur desire is PVT-4 and erase size-40000 then use amonRA recovery as i read on forum that CWM after 2.5.0.7 causes problems over time with desire and it can mess up ur misc partition and cause usb brick.

hope this helps people who usb bricked and stuck on stock rom with s-ON.

What if this doesn't work? Are there other options? I still can't access my SD card.
[Desire General] jarrad81:
pretty sure i'm usb bricked and i need a fix for my sd card. i also don't have a working rom loaded to access usb debugging... therefore a can't get use "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" command in fastboot mode.

any ideas?
[Desire General] Parva4:
There is no need for a working ROM, all you need is access to recovery. Press your back button and power button, if that works then you can recover it. The fastboot command is run from a PC command prompt via the phones USB cable connection.
[Desire General] jarrad81:
yes, i can access recovery but still can't mount sd card.

still stuck...

any help? i must be missing some simple step.
[Desire General] maxado_zdl:

Desire HD usb-bricked. Could you help unbrick it?

Brief description of the problem: Somehow got a USB-brick (phone as a USB-device not recognized in the PC, and do not switch into HBOOT USB mode or FASTBOOT USB whe connected to PC)

Device / model: HTC Desire HD

Operating System and Firmware: Android ICS Sabsa Prime 7 (custom roooted, unlocked through htcdev.com)

What was done: Tried to go the way of brick recovery through 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0'

Ran into a problem: because of PC does not see the phone, respectively, it can not install the HBOOT-driver (Android Bootloader Interface Driver) on Windows 7 x64. Well, as a result, without the driver I failed to restore the usb-brick.

Please help to recover from a brick!

Maybe there is another way recovery?
[Desire General] Orionos:
Is this a symptom?

I read what I could find on the topic, but I'm not entirely certain if I'm experiencing USB-Brick.

About a week ago, I S-OFFed and rooted my desire. I then went through MIUI and CM10 ROMs to see what I liked best. I boot into 4EXT, mount the SD Card, copy the ROM over, format everything else, and flash the ROM.

Last Friday I suddenly got 'bad file' notifications whenever I tried to flash. As it turned out, while mounted, the MD5 of the files on both my Windows system and the phone are identical. As soon as I unmount the device, the MD5 that 4EXT reports is different, and the file seems corrupt. Sometimes the disconnect button in 4EXT gets stuck, other times I can disconnect, but if I do a shutdown, 4EXT tells me that I have USB-Brick and if it should fix that.

When I take the SD Card out of the phone, plug it into my PC, it'll show up as empty or unformatted. I then reformat the card, copy the files over, plug it back into the phone, and restart 4EXT recovery. At that point I'm able to flash the file just fine. However, I'm forced to repartition the SD Card after flashing and booting the system, so that I can recreate the EXT4 and swap partitions before first boot. Obviously, that's a lot of work everytime I wish to switch/update.

I'm using CronMods INT2EXT4+ to mount the SD-EXT as /data, since A2SD didn't actually seem to work (it never increased the space).

Am I experiencing USB-Brick? Everything else seems to work fine. I did the USB Unbrick in 4EXT, but that doesn't seem to work.
