Guest DrMon Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 (edited) if my desire cid is also HTC__E11,should I edit the misc.img again? or I can flash it directly without edit You shouldn't need to edit it if your CID is also HTC__E11.

Guest Mikael1711 Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 It would be best to pull a misc.img if you're not bricked right now. It would also be best if a nandroid backup would pull misc.img during a normal backup. To get your own misc.img out of a working device, use cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img And pull the misc.img off of your SD card next time you link up. :( From where do i run the commandline? From the phone? Or from a windows computer? Thanks... Mikael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PaRallaXX Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Sorry guys, i didn't understand what to do with my desire (not bricked). I got the CID from fastboot: INFOCID is HTC__405 Then with Better Terminal with the command 'cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img' i got the image attached. What have i got to do now to make my desire brick-proof? Thanksmisc.img Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RiotRick Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 This is great news! Even though my phone isn't bricked, this issue kept me from flashing new roms. Now we can flash all we want again :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What have i got to do now to make my desire brick-proof? Thanks From what I understand is you cannot make it brick proof, but if you do ever get bricked, you can just restore misc.img to your phone and it will be back up and running again?

Guest RiotRick Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Also now that the cause is known, is it possible to create a flash method that doesn't break it in the first place? Or will we just have to run the fix if we brick in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or will we just have to run the fix if we brick in the future? To me it looks like bug in HTC recovery (kernel), that allows you to write beyong data partition (the next partition on NAND is misc). That explains a lot to me ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MIYU-G Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 You shouldn't need to edit it if your CID is also HTC__E11. thank you,it works,oh,baby,it works :( my desire is back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
