Just rooted my HTC Desire (Telstra Australia) for the first time (TMod LeeDriod 2.5 A2SD Final) and all indications were normal until the first reboot. My phone cycled through the "Why So Serious" splash screen about a dozen times or more before getting to the LeeDriod boot screen. I then got everything working, set in the Telstra settings (as I had no network) and rebooted, and the same thing happened again! 12 reboots on the Splash-1 (WSS) screen, then it went again to the LeeDriod initialisation screen. It has retained all of my Telstra settings but now I have no phone connection!!
I have good wi-fi connection but when I check Network Operators for available networks, I get the message "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network".
HELP! How do I restore to my original ROM if I can't fix this??
P.S. My phone model now shows as an A8181 when I am sure it used to say A8183
Oh and the system says my SD card is not mounted. Even in recovery mode it is telling me it is unable to mount the SD card. I cannot even get Telstra ROM reflashed as the RUU says it cannot talk to my phone. Under Device Manager, my phone comes up under Other Devices "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" three times!
How do I flash the ROM when it cannot talk to the SD card?? I have even tried another SD card and it is not recognised either! I have also tried reformatting my SD card via GParted and have a 1GB ext3 partition and the remaining 14GB or so as FAT32, but still no luck.
I can now also confirm that when I boot to HBOOT, I get a few lines of messages that momentarily flash mid-way down the screen saying something about an image not found. I have tried to start the whole process again but am unable to get AlphaRev to recognise the phone, nor Windows... :-((
In HBOOT when I go to recovery mode and try – mount /SDcard I get the error:
E:Can't mount /devBlock...(something or other...it reboots before I can copy everything)
Update - Issue appears fixed
A link on Roms-au.com / installations / extras / fixing-usb-brick provided to me on Whirlpool forums appears to have done the trick. Not only is the phone identified now, it boots immediately and correctly as you would expect...and my SD card is back!
Now the question is...can I assume that all is well for the long term? Is it possible that this fix was necessary because of a bad flash to start?? Advice here would be appreciated.

I can explore the SD card (tried 2, only one is goldcard) within the phone and it plays music and takes photos still, but when I mount them they don't appear in windows (windows 7)
this happened after trying to fix the perfected spl from sense UI singapore, I made a goldcard, put 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip onto it, restarted, volume- + power, then I waited a few seconds and it has green text saying it can't find the files or bad files and disappears really quickly. So I rebooted it, renamed the 2.53.707.2_-_sappimg.zip to update.zip and tried again, still no luck, then I booted it up again, mounted it and suddenly it wont appear!
I've gone into control panel/computer management and it doesn't appear in harddrive list either...
It appears in device manager as Android Phone - Android ADB Interface. and when I was trying HBOOT update and switching between HBOOT and fastbook to quicky try to read the update text again, it said 'windows has installed drivers for this device - android adb' so maybe that is some factor :S
As far as i'm concerned i already had all the drivers installed as I have programmed apps before
seems to be a problem with the phone not the sd cards, what can I do?
Hello,
you said you made a goldcard, maybe that's your problem: the card wasn't formatted correctly and isn't recognized by windows.
Can you try with another sdcard or format your current card?
nevermind. I've fixed it now. Instead of mounting I tried HTC Sync (which never works on windows 7) but it made the phone reappear. So back to square one.
It wasn't clear to rename the file to sappimg.zip. now that i've done that it started the update but it stopped saying CID Incorrect - I guess this means my goldcard is bad?

Yes. CID = Customer ID. Try another sd card.
okay I'll try my 16GB card... when using this one it also fails: main version is older!
is there a newer version yet?????

No! Greater than 1.76 is no Hboot yet.

Hi there I have a problem
My problem is that i've just root'ed my HTC Desire (I think?)
But my Desire won't boot right.. It only boots to recovery mode...
If i try to install an update.zip with clockwork it says can't read sd card
Pretty much anything i do on clockwork it says "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"
I have also tried adb but it says device not found
My computer registres my Desire when i plug it in but it doesn't recognize it..
What shall i do next?
Ps. I am running windows 7 x64
Sorry for any spelling errors i hope you understand and are able to help me
I had a similar problem. Try booting into clockworkmod recovery, connect your phone to your PC and select mount USB (or something like that) from the partitions menu. This should give you access to your SD card on your PC. Next, backup the contents of your SD card and then delete all partitions. I used gParted but i guess you can use disk manager in windows. One deleted, don't format the card or anything, just reboot the phone and hopefully you should boot up OK. Now you can format the SD card from within Android. Before you do all this is might be worth removing your SD card and seeing if you can boot up OK without it.
Thanks for reply
When I choose to "mount usb storage" nothing really happens it is not getting recoqnized
The phone won't boot without sd-card
Do you or anyone else know if you can sync your desire from recovery mode?
One step further
Okay i now got one step furter
My phone can now start up, but it still can't registre sd card
It just says sd-card removed
Any ideas
have you tried the "mount usb" option again? Although nothing appears to happen on the phone, you should be able to access the card from your PC. it worked for me in both Win7 and Ubuntu. Other than that I can't think of anything else apart from trying a different SD card.
I can't choose mount usb storage any more.. I can't get into clockwork
Now, when i press recovery I get into a black screen with at red triangle and i can choose from 3 or 4 things, inluding wipe and apply udate
I've allready tried a diffrent sdcard
Similar problem but extra issues
Searched for hours and been in a live chat a number of times and posted on another forum but can not find specific solution.
I wanted to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789830 HD rom so I partitioned my sdcard (successfully, to ext3 1.5gb, 33mb linux swap, rest fat32) and started wiping via ClockworkMod recovery.
That is when I ran into problems.
Now I can not mount my sdcard - "E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) (invalid argument) Error mounting SDCARD:!"
When I reboot, it just loops.
WinXP will detect my device via adb (when in recovery) but can't see the sdcard.
I had never used fastboot, so I am not sure if I am typing commands correctly.
Htc Desire 2.2 GSM * Uk 3 network * 8gb class2 sdcard * Bravo pvt1 ship S-off Alpharev * Clockwork 2.5.0.7 * HBOOT 0.93.0001 *
Was on Teppic's rom with init.d support http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773997
Any help would be very much appriciated.
I hope I haven't missed an obvious or relavent thread.
EDIT
Tried sdcard from Nokia6500 but Desire won't mount that either.
When I go into fastboot and plug in my usb, I do get "FASTBOOT USB" come up, so why would cmd "fastboot devices" not detect my phone? In recovery, cmd "adb devices" it does detect it.
I don't mean to be a pest but i doubt any of us can live without our desire's
BUMP
I have the same problem when i make ext etc. for me helps putting card into another phone with android and format it
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I have no other android device but...
I have managed to get fastboot cmd's to recognise my device.
Just need to figure how to flash my phone but I dont really want to take any backwards steps in terms of flashing a recovery.
Would like to flash my last set-up if it is possible.
Wish me luck lol
EDIT
Sorted....ish
Long short cut short is:
sdcard reader, reformatted to all fat32 with Paragon hard disc manager 8.
copied rom zip to sd.
full wipe with clockwork recovery.
Then inserted sd and installed zip from sdcard.
booted.
smiled again, even though its a practically stock rom.
ok i just waited and it finally booted up normally and went under sdcard and erased all that data this removes the partitions
So I've managed to basically brick my HTC Desire whilst attempting to install the Cyanogen ROM via ROM Manager (forgot to wipe my device so it ended up looping at the Cyanogen welcome screen). I then tried to restore my device to the backup ZIP file that I made with ClockworkMod but it didn't work - said file wasn't found when I tried to select it.
From there I tried to factory reset the device from the ClockworkMod Recovery screen, but when I try to boot the device it now get's stuck looping at the white HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' screen.
I've installed the SDK on my Mac and have fastboot recognising my device. Is there a way I can access my SD card using fastboot so I can put a ROM on it and attempt to install it? I don't have a card reader and I'm miles from a store that sells them.
Sorry if my terminology is off - I'm new to this
Your help is VERY appreciated!
Marty
Actually the phone isn't even making it to the white HTC 'Quietly Brilliant' screen now, it's stuck at the O2 Welcome screen.
After reading countless forum posts I think I need to 'flash' the Desire with another ROM that includes A2SD - I just need to get the ROM onto my SD card via Fastboot (since I don't have a card reader).
Does that sound about right?
I have the same problem with my tattoo!
Whats really annoying is that before uppgarding to recovery 3.0.0.6 with RomManager this was not an issue 'cause the previous recovery I was using(green) had the option to connect and access the SD card with PC USBcable.
I tried in 3.0.0.6:
Mounts and storage menu:
mount sdcard
mount USB storage
Still ain't seeing my SD card on my laptop.
Being on a remote island right now I hope I can find someone here with a microSD card phone with USB cable that I can borrow to load a working ROM on my fuc***** SD card .
Hi All,
Not really sure what's happened, my phone (HTC Desire Bravo PVT4, S-OFF, AlphaRev, CWMR Touch) decided that it wouldn't detect the SD card (In recovery or Cyanogen 7.1).
I've tried all the usual suspects:
Cleared Cache
Cleared Dalvik
Cleared all user data
Tried a different SD card
Nothing... then I noticed my phone is displaying some other curious errors, bluetooth won't enable, and there is no network at all.
The weird thing is, if I clear user data within Cyanogen and reboot, it'll connect to the network provider and give me a data connection for 60 seconds, it's as if clearing something in use data sorts it out, but as the boot process continues it's reverted.
Since SD card mount is disabled within CWMR, I can't flash a backup so I've been looking into ADB to flash the images back (So far without success, as I don't have the bandwidth (using wife's phone as a modem at the moment) to download the entire SDK so I just downloaded: Adb.exe, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, AdbWinApi.dll and installed the Android 1.0 HBOOT usb drivers... adb cannot see the device (Windows detects it fine though))
Unsure if related, on powering up the phone, Windows searches for "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies" the phone is GSM not CDMA.
I have multiple issues here and I'm at a loss as to where to go... any help is appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Edit: I can boot to Cyano/HBOOT/Recovery but without SD access, I can't do much, especially with adb not working
Edit: Fixed, it was a USB brick... identifying the issue was the hard part, the fix is easy, you'll need the mini SDK there is a download on this forum: instructions here: androidforums[dot]com/desire-tips-tricks/365476-guide-usb-brick-fix.html
Can't post links... but you get the idea.
Hopefully someone else will stumble on this thread as the symptoms are rather strange.

Dear Community,
The day before yesterday's evening, my Lenovo YT3-X50L Tablet suddenly shut off. When I tried to boot, It showed me the login screen, I logged in, but one second after showing the Home Screen it crashed and rebooted. I logged in again - it crashed and rebooted again. I couldn't get into my device anymore.
I tried to use the recovery and made a factory reset, after which it showed me the usual Google setup menu (language, wifi, etc.). But it always got stuck at getting a wifi connection, although status was already "connected" and the wifi was working.
I erased the system partition (I don't know if this was a good idea...) and now i cannot boot into anywhere, I only see the Lenovo logo when starting.
I installed ADB, Fastboot and Lenovo downloader on a Laptop. After some hard work, I managed to get an ADB connection and could backup my data.
So now, I just want to put my device back into the state it was when it was shipped!
What I want to mention first: It seems that my sd card was corrupted, I don't know if this was the reason or has anything to do with my sudden device failure. I noticed this because of a mount error in recovery. I formatted the sdcard to FAT with the laptop and the mount error is gone now. The sd card was set as internal storage in Android. If this is possible, I would prefer to use any tool like fastboot to de-assign the sd card as internal storage, and only use the device's own internal 16GB storage, which is more than enough for basic functioning.
I downloaded the device's stock ROM from firmwarefile (just search "Lenovo YT3-X50L stock rom" on google, it's the first result, I am not allowed to post links in this forum as i am a new user) but I don't know how to properly flash it. Flashing the system_xx.img, boot.img, userdata_xx.img and recovery.img files (fastboot flash blabla blabla.img) doesn't make the device boot.
The Lenovo downloader tool isn't working for me. I installed the Qualcomm drivers as described and when I start my device with USB cable connected it shows up in the Tool window, status "flashing", but then gets stuck and doesn't seem to do anything.
Please Help! Might the device itself be dead? I would be very glad if we could resolve the issue very soon because I am on a trip to CERN at the moment and will travel back in a week, and I don't have any other mobile devices with me I could use to show the flight ticket...
My data is already saved, as I mentioned before - I just want my working device back!
