I've never had a problem running nandroid backup and i'm using one of the lagfixes (damned if i remember which). I'm still using stock however, until the 2.1 (or even 2.2?) ROM scene gets a little more seasoned.

Nandroid does work with the lagix one click or ext4, people are impatient and panic when it isn't instantly zipping through processes. I ran one last night and I am running ext4 and SRE.

Ok so I tried accessing my gallery and my folders are missing - rebooted the phone, still missing.... file manger >> sd >> all there is is a friendly name.txt

where has my content gone!?

Also when plugging in my phone to my PC using media player mode only the phone directory displays, no storage card
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dizzle118:
Has it wiped itself? - How could I check this?

Settigns >>> SD card and phone storage

now reports External SD card as total space 'Unavailable', and the internal SD card as 13.43GB I've tried unmounting and re mounting - no change
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
if you put it back on a PC, does it read fine your SD card?

make sure you don't have it mounted

when mounted, you can't access it via the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dragooon123:
I know this is a stupid question, but is it physically present and on the right place? If you try to remove it and put it in another card reader does it read itself? Do you have some other phone you can try this with?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dizzle118:
Sorry its the internal SD card that seems to have formatted itself, I had many images etc. on home\sd - now its empty

there are many examples in the forum of people trying to do the lag fix, and but bricked their phone in the process

I have a nandroid back up.. Can I get to it via ADB?

Really don't want to dig up my laptop and odin if I don't have to.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
I figured it out. In case someone else needs to know how to do it:

1) adb shell

2) cd /clockworkmod

3) mv recovery-update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

4) reboot recovery

5) reinstall packages

clockwork should start

I really wish I could just replace the Sammy recovery with clockwork.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrigan:
Yeah.. i figured as long as a the adb daemon was running on the phone, you should pretty much be able to do anything from adb shell.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Hi,

I really hope someone is able to help me out - i cannot use my desire......

Since i bought my desire it has been unable to install the OTA updates. It always fails during the installation which has been really anoying since i really want to upgrade the system.

That caused me to start playing around, trying to upgrade using update.zip files with different versions. That unfortunately didn't work, usually with a message:

-------------------

Installing update…

assert failed: file_getprop(“/system/build.prop”, “ro.build.fingerprint”) == “htc_wwe/htc_bravo/bravo/bravo:2.1-update1/ERE27/174215:user/release-keys” || file_getprop(“/system/build.prop”, “ro.build.fingerprint”) == “htc_wwe/htc_bravo/bravo/bravo:2.2/FRF91/218634:user/release-keys”

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.

-------------------

Investigating the installed system on my desire I found that my version of the build.prop was containing bravo:2.1-update1/ERE27/155070, eg. probably not compatible with any of the supported versions in the assert message above.

So... I tried installing via RUU files, but this has caused my phone to be stuck on the green HTC logo! :(

The RUU files i tried was:

1) RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_122704.exe

then (when the above didnt work):

2) RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe

I can still boot in HBOOT and i can still install RUUs, but nothing seems to work...

One more thing... My phone is an unbranded phone...

Please (!!!) help... I'm completely lost at this point! :(

- Zyb3r
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
Put your phone into fastboot mode by starting with back key + power button. Then run the Froyo RUU above.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
trying now... i chose fastboot on the Desire, then on pc clicked the exe.

It shows:

From version: 2.09.405.8

To version: 2.09.405.8

Clicking next.... waiting...

Now says Congrats...

Then restarts... green update icon appears on phone... restarts again but then shows the Green HTC logo. :o(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
Is your phone NOT branded or DEbranded?

Try installing an RUU using a goldcard.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Was your phone unbranded from the start?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Hi,

Thanks for the quick replies...

Yes, it's never been branded. I bought it and have always been able to use any kind of simcard in the phone == unbranded i guess...

Regarding the goldcards... Isn't that only for branded/simlocked phones?

Thx!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
I have a debranded phone. I can update OTA only by having a goldcard inserted or else i get problems and restarts. Are you sure yours is not debranded? Also branded does not always mean locked. It just have personalized firmware.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Ok, I cannot be sure. At the store i guess they could have debranded it, but I've always been able to use any kind of simcard.

Hmm, how can I tell if it's branded or not?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Just cause you can use any SIM card doesn't mean it's not branded - Vodafone Desires are SIM unlocked but are still branded in terms of not having the same product code (e.g. 2.10.161.2 as opposed 2.10.405.2)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
I don't think there is a way to see if it was originally branded, but usually debranded phones have problems with OTA updates. In any case just make a goldcard and retry installing the RUU. Another thing: for how long have you waited on the HTC green logo screen? Sometimes updating takes very long time.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Ok, so what do I do?

Before flashing with RUU files I could see my versions being:

1.15.405.4

and Radio:

4.05.00

Only thing that i found kinda odd was the "bravo:2.1-update1/ERE27/155070" that I found in my build.prop. Could that be a branded version of something...?

Even if i get a goldcard i guess i still have to find the right RUU file?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Could be an idea... But dont i still have to use the right RUU file (that matches my "brand"?

Where's the best guide for creating Gold cards?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
No, with a goldcard you just use whatever RUU you like.

Take a look here

or use Goldcard tool
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Ok, I'll go get a MicroSD card reader and a spare MicroSD card now (YES... It's that important)..

I'll be back in a jiffy...

One more thing. I've used whatever installer that comes with the exe files, but it doesn't allow me to go back from the Froyo version I've installed. Can i just apply the same file again with the exe installer or do I need to do something else once i have the goldcard?

The one i installed: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe

Thanks for all your help so far!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
Here there are instructions for downgrading but in any case you need a goldcard. Better try applying the same file again. Again, are you sure you waited enough on green HTC icon?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
How are you checking the build.prop on a stock ROM? You can't see any of that if updating via an RUU
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
I waited for several minutes ... nothing happend...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
I mean... Via the ASTRO file manager i checked the /system/build.prop of the already system before updating. That was an attempt to troubleshoot the reason for getting the error message "assert..." (see first post). That error message referred to the reason not being able to install the update.zip (before i started playing with RUU files) -> being that my system/build.prop contained a version not compatible with the one in the update.zip.... I hope i'm making sense :)

Anyways... off to buy a new microSD. Will a MicroSDHC card work ok?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
ERE27 is Android 2.1 so that's right, it should update to show FRF91 once running 2.2

I'd follow this guide to get back to stock:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768256

And then look to root after wards...if it doesn't work (CID error or something) then you'll need a goldcard and you have a 'branded' Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
IMO several minutes are not enough... try waiting for over half an hour.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
I'll try having it turned on while I prepare the MicroSHDC card i just bought... goldcard coming up... :)

After creating the goldcard I'll reinstall the same RUU Froyo file as before...

Fingers crossed...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Darn... Cannot make a goldcard using the guide, it requires that the card is in the phone and the phone is switched on. If the card is in the phone it shows up as a new drive in windows but with no mounted card.

Any way I can make the goldcard without the phone or somehow by using the fastboot function?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Did you try what I suggested?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
I tried the goldcard tool, however that fails when starting in windows (both as normal and admin user).

Also tried to create it manually, but for some reason, windows doesn't register the card being attached to the computer... Maybe due to the stuck HTC logo?

Did manage to format the card in windows though, but only while it was connected using a MicroSDHC cardreader.

Any ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
I didn't suggest to make a gold card - just try the 'back to stock' guide I posted without a gold card and see if it completes - if it does you've not got a branded phone. If it doesn't then you do and you're no worse off...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Sorry, just read in the downgrade intro that you need a goldcard, but your right, hopefully i dont...

I'm trying the downgrade now.

I'll be back!

Thanks so far Eddy! :o)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
NP, best of luck :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
You need a card reader but again at the beginning you need to connect the phone to the pc in order to get the CID.

Let's hope you won't be needing the goldcard. gl
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
hmm, how do i "Enable USB debugging on your phone" when i have a non-functioning OS on my phone... ?

I've tried just going into fastboot, but no luck... the utility doesn't register any device connected... ideas?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
I really don't know. At leaste are you able to get the CID connecting your phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
What do you mean "able to get the CID connecting your phone"?

It's strange, because I CAN use the RUU exe file to flash, so some connection to the phone exist.... but how I get the CID from the phone when i cant enable usb debugging, i dont know... :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
I mean using the goldcard method stated above if you are able to get the code. If yes then using a card reader you can easily create the goldcard and try installing the RUU again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
If it's refusing to start up after an RUU flash I think you might have a hardware fault.

The goldcard question isn't relevant, as the RUU wouldn't flash if you needed one.

It's not a CDMA phone is it?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Nope, it's not a CDMA phone. I'm in Europe/Denmark.

Currently I'm trying out the goldcard method mentioned by bluesax... I hope it works..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Hi again bluesax,

"adb devices" doesn't return any devices so i'm unable to get the CID from there.

However..... Changing to fastboot and then running "fastboot devices" returns a device.

Playing around with fastboot I managed to get a cid by running:

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot devices

HT045...... fastboot

C:\AndroidSDK\tools>fastboot getvar cid

cid: HTC__Y13

finished. total time: 0.000s

This sounds like the CID I was looking for!

So, CID found... so far so good... Now how do proceed?

THX!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teppic74:
It's very likely a hardware fault, as an RUU flash will replace the phone's software.

Have you tried booting up with the sdcard taken out?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
I dont think it's hardware related since it's been working fine until I flashed it. I can still apply RUU and update.zip, but I havent found one that works yet... and I dont know how to find out what matches to the phone i have. :(

Any help will be appreciated!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluesax:
The SD's cid must be a code like this: 532600bd227d9c0347329407514d5402

I am afraid this is not the right code. Neither goldcard tool works?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zyb3r:
Hi,

FYI, i finally managed to upgrade it.... After several failed attempts installing different types of ROMS/Update.zips, trying to create goldcard, etc I tried, as a final resort, to install yet another version of the Froyo ROM at shipped-roms.com. The one i by chance picked worked right after installation completed.... Weird as I tried a number different installation ROMS from shipped-roms.com before this one and all of them failed even though they were non-branded and standard.

Weird, but gr8! :o)

Firstly download RUU for SLDC here:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe

Than, boot your phone in fastboot mode.

1. Power it off (Take the battery out to be sure, make sure no USB cable is connected)

2. Power it on by pressing Power + Back key). (Make sure the goldcard is inserted.)

3. Then connect the device via USB cable

4. And run that RUU which you installed, it should update itself and you should have your SLCD back.

If this version of RUU not help, try other versions also. This way will fix your problem, believe me. :)
