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.

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?

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

This tutorial is for noob people like me who needs a clean, simple and secure way to achieve something more from their stock ROM phones.
No doubt the devs are doing magics with their images but probably there are many conservative people who want to stay with their original firmwares.
So here we go:
My phone was runnig RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.28.401.1_Radio_20.28b.30.080 5U_38.03.02.11_M_release out of the box first. It was S-ON. I S-OFFed it using Alpharevx and then I rooted it with Gingerbreak 1.20. Then I decided to update the phone with the stock RUU_Saga_HTC_Europe_1.47.401.4_Radio_20.28I.30.085 AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199410_signed and I lost my root but the phone was still showing S-OFF. Rooting with Gingerbreak is not working on 1.47.xxx ROMs. I rooted it using 4EXTRecovery v2.1.0 FINAL and this file from http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
To install 4EXTRecovery v2.1.0 FINAL on a non rooted phone(thanks to madmaxx82 and .sh4d0w.):
1. Download and unzip on your PC the attached 4EXTRecovery v2.1.0 FINAL.zip file
2.Copy all 5 files to the C:\ directory of your PC.
3.Connect your phone to the PC(debug usb option activated) charge only
4.Run cmd to open console, point to the directory where you copied the files and type: adb reboot bootloader - device will boot into the bootloader
5.Type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Done
After reboot you should have 4EXTRecovery installed available from recovery option on your hboot menu.
6. Copy to the root of your SD Card the file su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip which you can download from here
7.Go to the 4EXTRecovery > install from sd card and choose su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
8.Done. After reboot you should have SUPERUSER installed and your phone is rooted again
To get Ad hoc wifi support:
9.Download and unzip the attached Ad hoc.zip file to your PC.
10. Install from 4EXTRecovery ADHOC.v2.zip file and reboot.
11.Copy and replace wpa_supplicant file to: /system/bin
(you can use file expert apk from the market to do that)
Done. You have an Ad hoc wi-fi support.
YOUR PHONE MUST BE S-OFF BEFORE TO START THIS PROCEDURE!!!
DO IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
Good luck!
You can have a look here for double check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16171869&postcount=184
Just to be sure: does installing 4EXTRecovery or su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed wipe any data from you phone?
NO it didn't !
I did it last night and worked !
Phone remains untached. Just rooted

If I have ClockworkMod Recovery installed already then can I install 4EXTRecovery on top of that?
I don't think so. You better don't. But why do you need 4EXT once you have already CWM installed? I just shared one option to root 1.47.xx ROM which was not possible to do with Gingerbreak. If I have to remove CWM I would flash stock RUU. You will keep your S-OFF but will loose root. Then install 4EXTRecovery and proceed to root with the su-file. But maybe there is more elegant and time-saving way to do it. Just surch around the forum.

Uninstall all HTC drivers and HTC Sync from your PC. Download fastboot drivers available here and install them. Make sure your phone is with USB debug active, connect it to the PC(charge only) and you should be OK. After everything done you may install your HTC Sync again if you want.

But you have SuperUser installed so your phone is already rooted. What actually are you trying to do?
When I was installing the stock ROM I was using the drivers provided from the official HTC website. Before to succeed with flashing the RUU it gave me couple of times connection error and waiting for device. I tried with sync option and with charge option and it worked at the end. You can try that too. As far as I remember flashing the RUU was with USB debug OFF.

What is the problem with your wifi? Install the file expert apk from market. Open it and go to the place on your SD Card where you put the file wpa_supplicant. Copy the file and navigate to /system/bin and paste it - it will ask you to overwrite the existing file. Press ok and that's it. Make sure that you have installed the ADHOC.v2.zip file from recovery too.

Just boot in to recovery and choose install zip from sd card
Navigate to ADHOC.v2.zip(the file should be on the root of your SD Card) and install it. Reboot.
Here are the directions and files used to fix this problem (do not type any of the "quotation marks"):
1. Download the .zip file from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YUYEMJNM
and put it on the root of your sdcard. (Do not unzip the file). Then rename it to PD15IMG.zip .
2. Download the miscnew file to your computer (uploaded as attachment to this post). Unzip it and place the miscnew.img file that was in the zip onto the root of your sdcard. You can delete the .zip file after you do this.
3. Boot your phone up like normal and connect your phone to your computer.
4. Make sure your sdcard is NOT mounted (but make sure those 2 files were copied to your sdcard).
5. Go into adb and type "adb shell"
6. Then type, "su"
7. Then type, "dd if=/sdcard/miscnew.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17"
8. Once this is done after about 5 seconds, turn your phone off and unplug from the computer.
9. Once the phone is off, hold down the volume-down key and the power button until you arrive at the bootloader. Once there, the phone should automatically start checking that .zip file you downloaded to the root of your sdcard. After its done checking, it will ask you if you want to continue, and just follow the prompt to say "yes" and YOU'RE DONE!
This guide was made by travisjames and was just put into my own words. His guide was a derivative of Apache14's OTA and Radio downgrade guide for the T-Mobile G2.
Also, thanks to Clarknick27 for tipping me off on how to get back into my phone after it was unbootable.

Ignore/Wrong thread...
two questions-
if i used gfree, do i need to undo gfree 1st? (you make no mention of rooting techniques, and if this undoes all those or not)
second, my phone, about a month ago, lost data connectivity on the usb port-- in other words, it charges fine, but i can not get any computer to pick it up any more to transfer files are use adb, which is a royal pain. -- can i use terminal emulator to accomplish your commands, or am I SOL ?
thanks
Yes, you need to undo Gfree.
Yes, you can run the commands from Terminal Emulator.
Added to Wiki.
thanks jack,
would the syntax be exactly the same as above via term em?
Yes, just skip the "adb shell" command.
Is this to undo 2.3.4 GB update and take it back to 2.2.1?
How do I undo gfree? And if I just run the pg15img will I keep root? I need a way to return to stock but rooted.

First question, Here is the thread you need to undo gfree (get s-on) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858996 (about half way down OP)
Second question, no you will not keep root
witch stock rom do you want rooted, stock 2.3.4 can not be rooted right now
So... to summarize, this would be to revert back to Android 2.3.4, sense 3.5 STOCK, without root, eng. hboot, or s=off.
In other words, if you purchased a MT4G now, or received a replacement MT4G with 2.3.4.... Following these steps will give you this new gingerbread stock state (approximately).
Please confirm. Thanks!

Yes...check the 3rd and 4th post of this thread....
Just curious, so if I flash this ROM in recovery, will I lose root, s-off, etc.?
What I'm trying to do is flash the phone to the MT4G stock rom (which I assume this is), use gfree to sim unlock it, then revert back to my nandroid backup, so I wanna make sure this will not interfere with my root access before I proceed to flashing it. Thanks in advance to whoever answers me~!

You don't need to type adb shell because you are on terminal emulator.
Just type su to gain superuser access.
Then type dd if=/sdcard/miscnew.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
Make sure you have the file miscnew.img in the root of your sd card.
Absolutely Perfect
I have looked and looked all over both XDA and the Interent in general. I was trying to restore my Glacier (MyTouch 4g) from stock 2.3.4 to stock 2.2. NOTHING worked. It got to the point that I didn't even remember everything that I tried. I followed this guide to the T. PERFECT!!! I am now back to having my phone exactly how I left the Tmo store with it.
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH!!
Great work in helping people out that don't understand. And making it a less strenious process

Sorry, a complete noob to "gfree". I'm a new convert to GSM as I was with SPrint CDMA for 10 years until a couple weeks ago. I've rooted Samsing phones but never an HTC.
Anyways, I just purchased a MyTouch that had been rooted and loaded with Virtuous ROM. It's for my wife and she wants it back to stock. I tried all your directions exactly but still will not work. I'm assuming it's this "gfree" issue. I followed the link to the other thread but it's not clear on exactly what I need to do in my situation.
When I run the bootloader, it says bad or no such image... I have confirmed I have PD15IMG.zip and miscnew.img in the sdcard root directory.
Can someone please show me in simplified terms. Thanks!

If you are new to this rooting stuffs, i suggest don't go with methods, that have potential to brick your phone.
Just do this simple method, Follow the link in my signature, you will see a Rooted version of the stock 2.3.4 rom.
Just flash the Rom through your recovery.........no big deal.......easy way to get the stock feel.....
Follow the instructions carefully.........Happy Flashing........
Thanks for the great help. One more question -- How do I turn "quick boot" off?

Check the sim unlock thread. Some people have been able to find the sim unlock code in the system its self. But if you cannot find it you will have to s-off.

see how it goes

if terminal is not listed for root access then probably it hasn't root access
try this
clean cache and data of terminal app and then delete it
then install it again
open it and enter su
see how it goes

Thank you, I did it.
But terminal method won't work for me, it shows date instead of unlocking code, I guess it's over for me.
[Edit: This requires s-off currently.]
Superboot is a boot.img that when booted, will root your device the first time you boot (installing su and the superuser APK). No need to flash any partitions, no need to mess around with ADB, no messing with the contents of your data partition, no overwriting the shipped ROM on your device, just boot the boot image using the instructions below and you're done!
APPLY THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Superboot r1 - DOWNLOAD - MD5: ab9dc381d81f91ce311bd021339b5577
How to use Superboot - Windows, Linux and OSX
Download the Superboot zip file above and extract to a directory
Put your device in bootloader mode - Turn off the phone then turn on with the 'volume up' button pressed to enter the bootloader (see note below)
WINDOWS - double click 'install-superboot-windows.bat'
MAC - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-mac.sh' followed by './install-superboot-mac.sh'
LINUX - Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type 'chmod +x superboot-linux.sh' followed by './install-superboot-linux.sh'
Note: You need to unlock the bootloader on your device before you can enter bootloader mode - use the htcdev site to do this.

Without messing the data partition? Damn. Should had this before last friday. Any way for getting back calculator, teeter, torchlight, sound recorder and ringtone trimmer?
Will this work on Unlocked Bootloader with S-On?

Your best option would probably be to create a thread asking for someone upload them for you.

Best question yet : Does it work with bootloader locked (out-of-the-box)? That way we can backup with Titanium before applying a custom rom?
Thanks!

It does work. But I see a problem there. Doesn't Titanium backup need root? Doesn't root need an unlocked bootloader?

You could potentially attempt to use tacoroot (universal HTC exploit) and backup your entire /system/app and /data/app folder and then post all of that up so people can get it after they unlock bootloader
But other than that, unless you can find a security exploit that allows you to inject root, then no

Doesn't Carbon backup offer a non-root option?

I think the most importend question is if you can get root without HTC dev from this..

No, because you need unlock to run it. S-OFF in fact it seems now.

No, it can be rooted. Use the toolkit, or do it manually like you should be xD

Thanks, just rooted, CWM installed, working fine.
Yes, the link in my sig is for all the fools in a forum I used to be in (gt i9000), every day there would be a new "ROM" with "super tweaks, battery saves, ultra super mod" etc, where the only difference would be a theme and some settings changed. I.e., not a real ROM. Kids.

OK Paul my HTC bootloader is unlocked by HTC method. I can get to the Recovery and want to install your Superboot but the options are diferent to what i have seen on the Galaxy S. On the HTC One the options for recovery are 'apply from SD.....' etc there doesn't seem to be an option for 'Install from SD.......'
I am quiet new to rooting phones and don't fully understand the tech jargon but it's a learning curve eh!.
Perhaps you could be kind enough to help me root my HTC One.
Dont mind at all getting my hands dirty.
Have a good day.
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

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
