USB brick/rickrolled/b0rked -> FIXED!

Guys, today I brick my desire beautiful, I'm sick of reading so many post, and have not figured how to emulate the sd card, I have two files, but not Sd appears to me, as I do this to restore your sd in pc does not ;)

thanks

As most of you know, people have been hard at work to fix the USB issues we've been seeing due to recovery setting us into USB debugmode.

After unsuccessful attempts to change the kernel commandline , eg. to:

board_bravo.disable_uart3=0

board_bravo.usb_h2w_sw=0

we've been successful in discovering (with the help of XDA-developers) that these switches are stored in the first NAND partition, mtd0, or 'misc'.

Step-by-step guide

1. Follow this r5 rooting guide to do Step 1 of the rooting.

That will give you a basic ROM to work with, with root capability.

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 update.zip on your sdcard.

4. Power off your phone. Hold Volume-Down + Power to turn it on, and select Recovery.

5. When in the screen with the big red exclamation mark, Hold Volume-Up + press Power, and select apply sdcard:update.zip.

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

Hello

I was following all the steps until no.5 where the update zip installation was not sucessful.

But when i reboot the phone, it can read the SD Card no problem...

Any idea if this is ok?

Thanks

SD Card is restored after the command in fastboot.

I think flashing the update.zip has to be successful to unbrick completely.

Now the SD card works fine but when I connect to the computer its USB device not recognise and HTC sync also cannot detect the phone as well.

Anybody knows/encounters the unsuccessful installation of update.zip?

Thanks in advance

VERY NICE JOB . THANX MAN :lol:

[Guest celticone]

Ok, I've bricked my Desire so my pc no longer recognizes it and the phone can't see the SD card.

I know i have to do the ‘fastboot oem boot’ part but how??

My PC doesn't recognize the phone, at the moment i've got android 1.0 in the Android USB devices with the yellow problem sign (device manager) against it as the driver/software never loaded when connecting the phone.

I've tried running the Fastboot file from SDK but the screen just flashes up then disappears, so basically I can't get the command prompt up to re enable the SD card.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

[Guest celticone]

Further to my post above, I've used cmd in windows to run the flashboot command but it comes up with waiting for device and still waiting after 5 mins. I guess as the PC can't recognize it as a device command prompt won't ever work??

[Guest neitin]

Very nice job really appreciate your hard work thanks it worked well

[Guest Rohaq]

So after flashing the lastest CM6 build and the gapps zip, I'm stuck on the Cyanogen boot animation, and attempting to load the recovery console goes to an exclamation mark error (probably an effect of using the ClockworkMod recovery console), I'm able to get the Vol Up + Power recovery mode up, but I don't have a card reader to copy the update to my microSD. I'll look for one tomorrow, but in the meantime I've noticed that fastboot has the following option on running it with no parameters:

usage: fastboot [ <option> ] <command>


commands:

  update <filename>						reflash device from update.zip

Is it not possible to flash my device over USB? Or would this be a terrible idea? Obviously I'll wait in the meantime, but if anyone can explain why this isn't possible, I'd appreciate it!

[Guest Shawe]

This method don't work for a Desire from Orange Spain with:

32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2

1.22.75.1 CL164549 release-keys

>fastboot-windows oem qxdm 0

... FAILED (status malformed (1 bytes))

Any idea?

[Guest piam]

Hi can someone please explain how i do this step? thank you

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.

Hello

the same question here, be it Windows or Linux I

unable to run the command ..... :(

Thank you

[Guest thephreak]

would like to know that aswell...

[Guest XClemX]

I am wondering about this..

I have a functioning Desire minus the use of the USB thru the PC and I cannot get Bluetooth to stay on...

I don't need to add the SD part and I have root access to my Desire...

Can I skip the steps and add the update.zip and apply?

I just don't really want to bork my now semi working Desire..

Cheers

Hello,

since 2 week, my computer doesn't recognize my phone via USB. I'm root and use rom manager to flash my phone. The script end correctly but USB don't work.

So i tried to enable sd card, don't know how to check it's enable. But when i launch 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' i have the message <waiting for device>.

I have the same message with 'fastboot devices'. Need to install something else to launch fastboot when we have an usb brick ?

PS : sorry for my bad english ^^

[Guest DomP]

Thank you SO much. I somehow borked my USB and SD while trying to partition my new class 10 microSD, this thread saved my life!

[Guest torril]
