Possibly bricked.. Can I access SD via Fastboot?

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!

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 .

[Q] Can't get Market Place or apps on Nook Color CM7 Nightly SD Card

I'm running CM7 Nightly on an SD card for NC w/no problems. Its great; blue tooth even works!!! My problems is that I can't seem to get apps or the Marketplace on it. I followed the instructions on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957
What could I possibly be doing wrong? I put the SD card in my computer and then I do a regular file transfer of the correct gapps...zip file to the first partion titled boot. I'm not seeing any other partions but there are other files there. Do I have to unzip and copy contents to the boot partition? When I boot up again holding the n button and power button until the bootloader msg appears for about 2 seconds; it just boots up like normal. I don't see anything special saying its booting in recovery mode. Then I look and there isn't any apps or marketplace icon.
Plz help because I really like CM7 and would like to keep using it...maybe even flashing it on internal. Thanks so much!

[Q] tablet erases any new file on reboot??

Hey everyone,
So I got my tablet today and have been working on it for the past 8 hours!! I finally got CWmod on it and running. Had a nightmare of a time getting it to work correctly and after using NVFLASH to nuke the whole tablet and install the stock ROM, then updating i was able to get CWmod to run. Now I'm having a really odd issue.
I can boot into CWmod. I repartitioned the SD card, mounted it. I can see the device in windows but when I add ANYTHING to the internal SD card it is completely gone once I reboot the device. I'm trying to get a ROM on it but it's like the drive is locked or something really weird. It copys onto the tablet just fine. the second I reboot everything is deleted.
I feel like I'm missing something here. I had that issue with it when I ran the stock ROM. I could change something and it would not stick after a reboot. For example registering my device on kindle and then downloading books. as soon as I reboot the machine it's as if i never registered it. I'm really at a loss as to what to do with this. I can't seem to get it to save anything on the internal storage.

Well after fiddling with it for a while longer I'm about to give up. I used NVFLASH to get it to the stock ROM again. updated to 3588 and yet again, I can't get any changes to stick. I can change anything and everything on it while it's powered on. The second I power it off and reboot it nukes everything I did (and takes close to 5-6 minutes to boot). I even mounted it and deleted every single file on the internal storage. They all came back upon reboot. I reformatted the entire SDCARD, I reformatted all the user data, did a cache wipe.. nothing works. I'm wondering if my unit is defective? at this point I would love to just have a tablet that I can actually use. I can't understand how it's even possible to not be able to make any changes on the device unless it's reinstalling the ROM everytime I reboot?

What version of CWM are you using and how did you install it?

I was running CWM 8. I couldn't install it via the internal storage. It would boot into recovery mode and "install" but once the machine rebooted it would not boot into CWM. I tried it several times same deal. I could install it but once it rebooted, nothing :/..
So I had to use the micro SD card to install it. I edited the recovery command file and pointed it to the SDCARD2. It installed finally, and stuck!
I tried using the microSD card to install the other ROMs. But unfortunately it will not mount in CWM.
I'm trying to get CWM back on it after doing yet another wipe with NVFLASH. We'll see if I can get it to work..
So i'm basically sitting here with a brick.. unless I never power it off lol!

Ok well another odd thing is going on with this. I'm up and running with CWM 08 again. I can turn on USB mass storage mount. The tablet shows up in windows and on my linux box. I can make whatever changes I want, adding files, deleting everything on it. Nothing matters cause once I unmount and remount the device it's all back to normal. It seems like nothing is allowed to write to the internal storage even though it thinks it does write to it??

[Q] Stuck on Black screen

I have a Captivate that was rooted and working for over 6 months, and suddenly went into a black screen giving error on E:\.....
Have tried to install the stock firmware using ODIN in Download mode I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 and I897UCKJ3_withBL and both are a success, but as soon as I reboot the phone i get the AT&T logo, see the Samsung logo and then the screen turns black and I can't even see the phone on USB
Also tried loading the Pinnacle_Flasher and I can see the CW recovery menu, but after that point I'm unable to flash an update.zip (Pinnacle_1.2.zip renamed as update.zip on root of ext SD card) from the external SD, and am unable to copy it to the internal SD Card. Connecting the phone to the PC says the USB drive needs to be formated.
Appreciate if anyone can help in recommending any other steps I can take to unbrick the phone

It could be something is corrupt on your internal SD card. Have you tried enetering clockwork mod and mounting USB storage and then hook it up to your computer and reformatting it

updated apps from the marketplace..

Did you actually name it update.zip, or just update?

i had the same issue. trying to look for the posts i made about it. i remember something along the lines of flashing to an old boot loader and an old kernel with cwm then doing all my wipes then doing a master clear via odin then via cwm again then tried flashing to stock. im probably neglecting one of my steps though.
oh and make sure you let it charge via wall plug for at least a half hour before you try anything.

[Help Me] Can't get into phone - boot loop.

Today I figured I'd try installing a CyanogenMod into my U8815/Ascend G300 Huawei phone, however the result is that it only got bricked (I think). I have been following a tutorial here: huaweig300.com/huawei-g300-install-a-custom-jelly-bean-ics-rom-from-scratch/install-the-custom-rom/
Since my phone had already been rooted when I bought it (had Superuser installed), I proceeded straight to installing stuff. I downloaded the CM ROM from here: modaco.com/topic/367019-kk-441-cyanogenmod-110-rom-nightly-builds-available/
However, and I think this is why I didn't succeed, I negleged to install the CWM provided in that post, because I have used ClockworkG300.exe that was given in the tutorial, and it had a slightly lower version (v6.0.1.2 to be exact).
I put the ROM .zip file and GAPPS into my micro SD card and proceeded to follow instructions - Power+Vol Up, install from .zip, and bang... it failed, saying "(Status 7) Installation Aborted". I thought - OK, I'll just restart my phone, upload a lesser version of CM or higher version of CWM and try again, however phone only boots back into CWM Recovery (boot loop)... I cannot access my SD card now, nor anything happens when I plug my USB cable in... I tried using adb, various other tools, like flashback recovery, etc. However, none of them discover my device, even when I power my phone on while holding Vol down (just freezes on logo, PC finds the software, but doesn't allow me access anything there) and plug my USB cable in. And yes, I have updated my drivers for win7. I also tried wiping cache, and data, but to no help.
Of course, I was stupid not to backup anything, but there has to be a way to unbrick/restore previous versions, or at least access my SD card. I have no other Android (or other device which uses micro SD card), I have lost all my adapters I had, so I cannot access my card via devices that might be able to connect to PC. And I'm not sure I have a card reader that could read micro SD (I'll check it out though)...
Help me please, I need to be able to use my phone... If any more info is needed, just ask. I have tried googling for solutions, however, none helped.
