Can I save my phone??


Recommended Posts

Hello

Sorry posted in the unbrick thread but not had any bites so needed to start a new thread to get my phone working (hopefully).

I've bricked my Desire, phone loads up but the sim and sd card aren't recognised (though I can still use wi fi).

When connecting the phone to my PC (tried windows 7 and XP) the drivers fail to install and I get various faults like the device being recognised as android 1.0 usb to a Qualcomm device.

The phone is still rooted (I can install rooted apps from the market) however after following various unbricking guides I always get stuck at stage 2 (i.e. enable sd card), if the PC won't recognise the device how can i run the 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' command?

I've also tried running fastboot using a terminal app on the phone but it doesn't recognise fastboot, should i be in a specific directory on the phone when running this command?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Have you actually rebooted the phone into fastboot mode?

Yep, i'm in fastboot but my PC and also laptop doesn't load up the drivers so the phone is never properly recognised, when i first plug in the phone it either gets recognised as Android 1.0, or Android Bootloader Interface, when I attempt the fastboot stage (or recovery stage on the rooting process) the PC throws up error message that it can't load the drivers and the phone then gets recognised as a Qualcomm device.

Is there anyway to enable the SD card using a terminal app on the phone?

Thanks

I've now tried to connect my phone to a windows Xp and 7 PC and a laptop, a Linux laptop and tried using the Tiny Linux root guide to see if that would work, but each time the PC/laptop fails to recognise the phone.

Just have a look at the Stickys man -.-

Been through that guide loads of times, I can't get past step 2 as my pc and laptop won't recognise the phone to allow me to enter the fastboot cmd.

Tried Win XP, Win 7 and Linux all cant recognise my phone, all I can get Android 1.0, Android Bootloader Interface or a Qualcomm device in the device manager and none of them are what you need to run the fastboot cmd.

Seriously, just ignore the driver messages.

When I bricked my phone and plugged the phone into the computer it would also come up as Android 1.0/Qualcomm device - you should be able to just ignore this message (I did). What you want to do is boot your device into Fastboot and run the FASTBOOT command from either the Android SDK or if it was included in the ROM.zip you donwloaded from there. This should re-enable the SD card allowing you to run the small update.zip.

Use your Windows XP machine - tends to be safer. I have a Windows XP machine just for these kind of occasions (best $100 investment I ever made).
