My brand new HTC Bricksire

[Guest orsonb]

Hello all, I bought my Desire a month ago in England, second hand. Seemed like a good deal but now that I've foolishly tried to venture in the dark realms of flashing my desire is a paperweight.

What happened? I downloaded a normal looking rom (needless to say, don't put this on your phone), wanting to upgrade to froyo, then followed instructions. Nice and easy. But the setup wouldn't fully complete. I was in froyo heaven for 20 seconds though. I received a call, which got dropped instantly, and my phone rebooted. I rebooted it instantly, and got a process not working error. Countdown. Reboot eta 3 minutes. I try to connect it to my pc through usb, doesn't recognize as disk drive (and I know it's not the cable as I've used it before). Bluetooth doesn't work. SD card isn't recognized. Haven't got an adapter. No wifi. Is my phone only good for being a flashlight or is there hope?

Thanks in advance.

I tried unrevoked but it won't detect the phone. Thanks for the quick answer

... and you did install the recovery-drivers?

[Guest The Virus 2013]

And on which system? Never worked on Win for me, but worked fine on Ubuntu.

[Guest orsonb]

What are those? :lol:

Also I'm on win 7 64

I had a similar problem. Unrevoked didn't detect my phone.

Use a live linux distro like Ubuntu and it will work fine. I guess that Win7x64 drivers are a little flaky.

Thing is the computer detects the phone, even tries to download drivers for it. But i cant put it in disk drive mode. I could make the switch to linux but id like to solve this before monday

[Guest towo]

There's live linux CDs you can just download, burn, and run from your CD drive without ever installing anything. Just takes the time you need to DL, burn and reboot.

The Ubuntu install CD is one such example - it allows you to just boot a live version.

better you read unrevoked wiki and follow instructions, before going in a "next next next next" adventure, as it seems you did, given you don't even know you had to install hboot drivers and let your phone been recognized as such device... go, read, apply...

Hey thanks man but this guide would require me to access my phone which I can't. Now I went through the trouble of partitioning my drives, downloading and installing ubuntu, to see if i would be able to at least see my phone recognized. It is recognized as an htc android phone but I can't open it whatsoever. Any thoughts?

ou don't have to install it. You can just run a live session.

Did you try to use unrevoke in linux now? What was the result?

I've wanted to try it for a while now so I've installed it.. but now I find myself asking why would anyone inflict that upon themselves?

I'm not a coder or anything so it's a pain. I just tried unrevoked but it doesn't detect the phone.

might be a long shot but have a look at this... http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desi...d-b0rked-fixed/

[Guest bpivk]

Is/was your USB debugging turned on?

[Guest The Virus 2013]

Unrevoked 3.21 is back, give it a try, never know... perhaps it can fix all that mess!

Search for USB Brick Fix this will help

[Guest chipyy]

OP, some more information would be useful. Was the handset rooted when you bought it or did you do it yourself? Do you know what method was used? What method are you using to try and flash the ROM you downloaded. Do you have a custom recovery installed? etc. etc.

Thanks all but it's still not working :/ just got a microsd/sd adapter, reckon it should work by loading an official 2.1update1 rom on my sd and recovering?

if so could anyone direct me to one as i can't find it

[Guest chipyy]

Seriously dude, answer some of the questions you've been asked and you might have more chance of someone being able to help. Do you have a custom recovery on your phone? What method did you use to flash the ROM that screwed everything up? The fix could be as simple as booting into that and flashing a new ROM, or even just radio, but we won't know unless you tell us. It's nearly impossible to brick a Desire, there's very little that can't be recovered from.

I just put the zip file in my sd, renamed it update and run the recovery.

But its alright now, props to virus 2013. Only thing is my sim card isnt recognized. I rooted my phone with unrevoked, updated radio and installed cyanogenmod 6. Anything wrong?

Was your phone a Orange handset by any chance? If so just downgrade the radio or buy an unlock code
