As My desire is amoled and unbranded i don't know for sure if this tut gonna help Slcd/Branded desire user if some one with slcd or branded desire fix there brick by follow this tut please leave a comment Here.
*To work this Hole Thing Out You need to setup Adb and fastboot in your pc,if you don't know how to do it follow this nice Guide.
http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/337356-faq-adb-fastboot-windows-updated-1st-june-2011-a.html
Last few days i saw lots of people having usb brick problem even after they flashed the Ruu.exe or PB99IMG.zip update via hboot that because misc.img is corrupted and they stuck on stock rom without any usb function.Few Days ago i was in the same situation and solved my problem thought i should share this Information with people who need help.
Note-If you usb bricked on s-off device then try this fastboot command to solve this
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0(unblock your sd-card)
fastboot oem eraseconfig(fix misc partition)
if above command don't work then you have to flash a ruu.exe or PB99IMG.zip file via hboot to return to stock
rom usally that fix the usb brick but some time that trick also fails,if that happen then you have to go through the process below.
If your device is branded then create a goldcard and flash a unbranded PB99IMG.ZIP cause maybe this not gonna work on branded device.
I solve my usb brick this way
after return to stock rom via PB99IMG.zip file flash via hboot(didn't fix my usb brick so i had to do the steps below)
1.i unlocked my sd card via fastboot command"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" sd card recognized by phone and i can browse it via file explorer.
note-you can access your sdcard only via file explorer nothing else so after execute the command download a file explorer from android market.
2.then i copied the visionary+(it gave me temporary root access which is needed to work this whole thing out).
root explorer,terminal emulator apk and those usb bricked update file(image_flash,mtd0.img) to sdcard from pc via card reader and installed them.
before copy those update file on sd card i edited the mtd0.img to put correct cid n rom info via hex editor.
To find cid info
If you don't know your Cid then type this command in fastboot-fastboot oem boot this will show you info about your phone cid.when the info shows up look for‘INFOCID HTC___xxx'
To find The Rom version-Go to Settings>About phone>Software Information and note your Software Number.
3.after that i copied those update file in phone memory to copy file in phone memory you have to set permission for r/w.When open root explorer look at the top left corner you will see mount as r/o mount r/w tap on mount r/w that's it you set permission to read/write on your phone memory and copy the file in
/data/data/ folder and set permission for r/w and execute for those file via root explorer.
4.after that i simply typed this command in terminal emulator
"su
/data/data/flash_image misc /data/data/mtd0.img"
Rebooted my phone and voila usb brick is gone htc sync,usb tethering,sd card mount,charge everything is working and now i am rooted and s-off again
Note-you don't need the rageagainstthecage file which only need if you try to get root access via terminal emulator which is lengthy n complicated but with visionary+ you can get root access with 1 click and it's much easier than typing command in T.E.
If above information helps you to fix Your usb brick Please Leave a comment Here and you can also hit the Thanks button

when you open the mtd0 file with hex editor look for
"HTC_1xx"-your cid
"ClearAutoImage .x.xx.405.x"-your rom value
and edit those according to your cid and rom value information.
i updated the thread with some more useful info so recheck the 1st post.

Glad that it worked out for you about V+ root,TBH i don't know but my opinion is it's safer to use unrevocked for root.
Marc. said:
I read it, but a few questions...
( My phone is S-ON )
1. I'm not on a stock rom, but on Insertcoin
2. I can already acces my SD card, so can I skip the first step? Done that yesterday already.
3. Can I use the mtd0.img generator? If yes I have already the file.
4. With step 3, which files must be in /data/data?
5. With step 2, I have super user, so can I use that instead of the root acces thing?

Quote from the other topic, maybe you read it here faster.
Edit, just tried it. I generated my mtd0.img out of another topic. Read a lot, and it works perfect again!! Thanks!! You saved my phone!

Hi, again
I have a new problem after fixing the USB Brick. I can't root my desire using Unrevoked 3, it was always failed on process uninstalling unrevoked3 system and showed :
Validation error : Backup CID is Missing
do you have any idea for this problem?
thx for your respond
That same error showed up when i tried to root after usb brick but in my app drawer the super user icon showed that means it worked somehow even after the error,so check your app drawer and recovery if you see the su icon and cwm recovery then it worked don't worry about the error

I downloaded the hack kit but for some reason I'm stuck trying to set
hack-ace.cmd as administrator. When I try it says error I have no clue on what Im doing but Im willing to learn any help would great.
If you are using Vista or 7, are you right clicking on the .exe file and selecting "Run as administrator"?

im a noob so let me tell you how i d/l it. D/L it was winrar file and i extracted but i can not get run admin when i right click also on vista.
The hack kit should just be a zip file, which you could double click on it and extract all. Once extracted you will see the hack ace command script file and the effen manual. Open the effen manual and read it a few times. It is very easy but you will familiarize yourself with the procedure. You can uninstall HTC sync after you have installed it. You just need the USB drivers. The manual will explain this. You should be able to right click on the hack ace command script and select run as administrator. Then follow along with the manual and the on screen prompts.

thanks for the help now for some reason cant get a gold card
Try formatting your card, fat32. You will lose all data so back up first. There should be information in the manual.
if after you format to fat32 like wolf said and you still cant make your goldcard, use bubby's guide to make the goldcard and then use the hackkit to do the root.
I tried to go to psas.revskills.de site to make my goldcard but cannot access from firefox or I/E did anybody have the same problem. Is there something ive done wrong firewalls are turned off but still no go.

Emulator is a hardware or software used for duplication of behavior of main system to host system.
In short your pc is main system here and device is emulated system.
I think you should than turn on usb debugging and set device as media storage and try.
IF YOU ARE STILL UNABLE TO ROOT THEN TELL ME AND I HAVE ANOTHER METHOD FOR YOU.:beer: cheers.

And when I'm clicking on Yes, the download progress is remaining unmoved at 0%. plz help. Screenshot included.

YOUR PROBLEM IS SIMPLY THIS THAT PRE- LOADER DRIVERS FOR YOUR PHONE ARE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED IN YOUR PC. That's why sp flash tools is unable to connect to your phone and flash recovery.and so there is no progress.
TO INSTALL PROPER DRIVERS GO TO THIS THREAD.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370906
And i know that the method i suggested is to root jellybean but it works fine on ics also ( but you cannot root jellybean via ics method)
**After installing proper drivers try again the above mentioned method and it should work.
And regarding that message... it will always come because all the images required to flash a new firmware are not properly loaded.
Ignore it because you are after all not flashing a whole new firmware but simply recovery in your phone.
Best if luck.

Ok My last suggestion.
Remove all the connected device(dongles, bluetooth device) from your comp except your mobile with Usb debugging on.
restart your comp.
now place it in C drive(just for caution) or if it was on C drive move it to another drive.
Now try to root if it doesn't root.
Try frameroot.

Get root permissions and try to delete it from file explorer app like ES File Manager.
Else, take a backup of your data and perform full wipe operation from recovery.
Is it actually affecting your phone in some way? Taking up storage? If not, does it really matter?

Ok, but if you don't know what it is or what it does or why it's there, then maybe removing it isn't the greatest idea. It could have a function.

this is normal, it happens sometimes with my computer as well after connecting the phone via usb cabel. It is a bug because there is not any drive in your storage. In my case it show more than one drive sometimes dont worry about this and leave it as it is.

Your posted image doesn't show a secure storage--it shows a windows shortcut.
The secure storage you see in your file manager I'm sure is a CM file manager FEATURE for you to make an encrypted folder or what-have-you. There isn't really a folder there until you create one by clicking on it and providing a password, hence--it can't be deleted. I dont' know if it will even provide a folder that's deletable after you click on it and provide a password.
This is something you can prolly learn more about from the CM11s people who made it.

Thankyou genuinely havent had any confirmation that it is normal until now.
I can also confirm that it was present in cm11s, I have been trying to find documentation on it online for some time, but this thread is the first mention of it I have found.

Unfortunately I think you're out of luck. The whole idea of encryption is that the password you create is the only password that will unlock it. Forget the password and you have no access.

Any one know how to remove this?
Just so people know this is on my OnePlus One and there is a secure storage on the stock file manager.

I'm guessing you created a protected drive with the CM File Manager (stock one)?
To remove it, open CM File Manager, from the drawer enter settings by tapping the gear. In settings tap Storage option.
There should be an option to delete it.
Hi everyone I just found out a way recently on how to unlock the bootloader without losing data and root Oppo A71 Cph1717 ,but just in case please i encourage you to backup your phone before doing this, i tested this with my own phone and it works so now lets start!!!
1) download and install latest python (ensure to tick the checkbox Add Python x.x to PATH) ------>https://www.python.org/downloads/
2) download and install preloader driver -----> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9...dUE/view?resourcekey=0-TN-5Ipeegh7SowX4sduz_g
3) download the latest MTK-client zip --------> https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient
4) unzip the mtk-client and open the CMD or Powersell inside the extracted MTK-client folder
5) enter the first command -----> python setup.py install ,and wait until the process is done
6) after the installation is done enter the second command ----> pip3 install -r requirements.txt ,wait until the process is done.
7) Now this is the part to where you are going to unlock the bootloader of your Oppo A71
8) enter command -----> python mtk da seccfg unlock it will wait for the phone to be connected
9) Now power off your phone, connect the small part of the usb cable in your phone, hold both up and down volume button and connect the another end of the usb cable to the computer and you will see the process starting after the process is done boot up your phone and the VIOLA!!! you have unlocked your bootloader without losing any data!!,when you see a warning ( your device has been unlocked and cannot be trusted , your device will boot in 5 seconds....) dont worry its very normal , Now lets hop in on how to root your oppo a71 .
Second Rooting your Oppo A71 CPH1717
1) download latest magisk apk and install it on your phone
2) download your stock rom in your PC -----> https://oppostockrom.com/oppo-a71-cph1717
3) and extract the stock rom in your pc
4) now go to developers option of your phone and enable usb debugging and select the type of connection and select MTP while connected in pc
5) copy the extracted boot.img in your internal storage
5) now open magisk app and select install (you can select Preserve AVB option if you want ) then select next and press the Select img and select the boot.img that you copied fron the PC and then press lets go option
6) wait until the patching is done
7) after the process is done, now copy the magisk_patched.img in the pc ( you can find it in your internals download folder)
8) now create a folder in your pc name it Root flash
9) move the magisk_patched.img in the folder that you created and rename it boot (no extension and other things )
10) copy the scatter file,preloader.bin from the extracted stock rom in to the folder that you created (root flash folder)
11) download sp flash tool ------>https://spflashtool.com/download/ ,and unzip it in your pc
12) open the sp flash folder and open flash tool.exe
13) now see scatter-loading file option and click choose go to the created folder( root flash folder) and select the scatter file
14) now untick the preloader but not the boot
15) click the download button , power off your phone ,connect the small part of the usb cable to your phone ,hold the up and down volume button then connect the another end of the usb to the Pc
16) wait until the flashing is done you will receive a green check in the screen ,disconnect your phone from the pc and turn your phone on and VIOLA!!!! your Oppo a71 CPH1717 is now rooted you can check the magisk app if its installed or install root checker
if i did something wrong pls feel free to tell me
PS: only follow this instruction that i created on how to unlock bootloader if your phone is Oppo A71 CPH1717 because if you follow another tutorial for unlocking the bootloader of this phone TRUST me it will going to be fu*ked up!!!!
BTW if you didn't enable the (Allow OEM unlock, but to be sure please enable it) option don't worry its ok trust me ,you can see it too in my screenshot.
you can refer to the screenshots below from my phone for the evidence , i hope this helps others.

as i can see in the video its legit he really unlocked,root and install twrp(which i have it too) in the oppo phone but the only thing thats difficult is he uses a test point and to do that you need to open the phone and some tools to do that which is hasle and hard while in my method i directly unlock it you can see in the vid he uses something to activate the test point but in my case i didnt, i just connect my phone and enter the commands and let the tool do the magic we both use the same tool but the only difference is he uses gui version and im using only command prompt version both version of tool is good but for me command prompt version is stable

thats kinda normal ,well yeah im facing the same problem right now but apparently there is no way we can remove that thing i searched every where but no luck but there is a method to remove that but the requirment that it needs doesnt met by our phone, this method needs Edxposed with we cant use because we need our phone to run in android 8/8.1 or higher i tried it with xposed framework but no luck i cant open the app because its not meant for the phone for now im thinking to to build a custom rom to fix this problem i dont know if this is possible but i found something in internet that got my attention im thinking to build (Resurrection remix 7 android 9) because it has a source code but it might take a while because im still studying it for now my twrp is on stanby for flashing and trying any rom that would fit for my phone

you can fix the unknown baseband easily using Zarchiver grant root access then go to ROOT/data/nvdata then delete all the files inside it then after reboot them check if it work because it works fine in me while in the case of the null imei you can only fix it using tools like SN writer or Modem meta
