[Q] Desire won't connect to computer after upgrading to froyo

So, I decided to upgrade my desire from 2.1 to 2.2 with the Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed]
apparently...after installing the radio rom (the one that also came from that thread) , without any hesitation and checking, I immediately flashed the OS to 2.2 ...
everything was fine with all the feature and stuff, until I;m checking my gallery and it mentions that I need to insert my sd card.
I checked my card on my computers, it's fine and working. tried to put it on and off the phone and still nothing happened.
Tried to plug my desire with the card in it to my computer, but it won't show the file manager thing. As if my computer won't recognize it anymore (but it still charge as usual).
The only thing that came up is the qualcomm something something driver thing.
So, I tried to flash it again, but it won't work, since my the card in the phone can't be detected.
So, the big question is...
How do I fix my desire ? I can't connect it to the pc because it just won't work as storage device....
Does the factory reset thing reset my desire to the unrooted version or the last know version? Since I bought this thing in China, it came with a rooted ROM
btw...this is how I did the whole flash thing...
1.install the htc sync to get the driver...
2. do the flashing...
3.flashed the radio rom first..
4.reboot..and turned it off
5.flash the OS rom....
6.sd card wont work..
I think I need to do the clearing thing before I flashed the OS, but I rly forgot...
so, please, anyone out there...

anyone?
a little update here...
I did the fastboot thing... and managed to have the sd card readable and usable...
copied the flash image and mtd to the phone's data directory with the root explorer.
butI think I still missed out something...
so far...
-sd card is readable and usable
-bluetooth won't turn on....
-can't connect to the pc yet....pop up for the qualcomm cdma driver thing... but no file manager..
-won't even charge
so, anyone got any suggestion?
flash it with another rom or ?
will the problem retain if i flash it with another rom?

Edit: Nevermind, my answer wasn't applicable.

In case anyone is having same problem...
I kinda solved it using the usb-bricked method...
-fast boot it
-sd card is usable once the fast boot method is done
-download the flash image and the other file.
-copy file...and execute it
or
-download the update.zip thing (also the one that's solving the usb bricked file)
-go to recovery
-install the update zip
-win
somehow...now my desire won't install any app to the card or even move the program :/
everytime I tried to do so, my desire just restarts :/
eventhou Im using the mod install from the market...

[Q] LeeDroid 3.0.8.2 Help

hi,
i have just tried to install LeeDroid 3.0.8.2 and am panicked that i've bricked my phone.
I partitioned the sdcard using Rom Manager - also downloaded and flashed the rom via rom manager.
It seemed to do its thing fine and the leedroid screen loaded up, but now it just keeps looping back on itself showing me that its installing making this funny beeping sound and then goes back to the leedroid screen for maybe 15 seconds and repeats.
Anyone know ever have this experience? can any one help?
thanks

Please make a search...
The best way to avoid bootloop is first to partition the SDcard with Gparted...
Then you need to check a few things (your hboot version among others)
good reading !!!

If it's looping at that point it is almost certainly a problem with the SD-card ext3 partition. Rom Manager is not terribly reliable with making that.
The Gparted suggestion is by far the best solution (assuming you have a PC with a card reader, rather than trying to do it with card mounted in phone)
If you *do* have a reader then try LiveCD with gparted, burn to CD and boot from that.
Make your first partition FAT32, and your ext3 partition at the end of the card. (1GB recommended). Make sure both partition are marked as "primary".

Sorry for jumping in here, but I also need help with this rom (sorry uber noob and all). Figured since the thread was so fresh may as well ask here.
Basically trying to install leedroid v3.0.8.2 (data ++) for my original htc desire.
Cant download from either of the links, they both lead to url 404s.
And i also tried downloading from both rom manager and also the minisite, these downloaded but seem to be corrupt. I cant open the zip file and trying to flash it returns a cant flash (bad) message.
Anybody know where i can get a working zip of this version?

Have you tried here and choose the ROM you want from the white scrolling list? The 3.0.8.3 data version downloads for me.

[Q]Phone randomly shuts down using Virtuous Unity 2.35

For a few weeks i have been getting these total random shut downs of my DHD running the latest Virtuous Unity 2.35.
I saw that happening live 2 times on specific occasions/functionality calls:
1)After switching the DHD on and inserting the PIN to unlock the sim card...few secs and BAM....everything goes down. This happens from time to time.
2)Few secs after running the camera app...some loading goes on and BAM...here we go again...cell goes off
What the hell is happening, should i worry about the phone hardware or is it some wipe/format i didn't do properly prior to flashing the rom.
The problem is i noticed it also with other custom roms...but with those it never happened while i was using it, instead it happened getting the phone out of my small shoulder bag.
I am really afraid my cell has something wrong with the hardware...i was angry as hell and i tried to do some "heavy shakin" to see if the battery was not retained to its place as it should have but nothing happened...cell always on...
What should i do?
PS: i must say i tried almost 15 roms last 2 weeks but always used the related full wipe files/used a decent format/wipe procedure.
plz help me
---------------------------------------
Some tech stuff maybe you need to know
Device: Desire HD
Rom: (current) Virtuous Unity 2.35 (those days i flashed more than 10 roms, MIUI included)
Status: S-OFF HBOOT-0.85.2007 (CID-11111111)
Radio: 26.09.04.11_M2
RIL: 2.2.0131HM
Kernel: Stock that comes with VU
So that you know that's what i always did prior to flashing any ROM (currently using 4EXTRecovery 2.1.3 RC2) :
1)format system
2)format cache
3)format data
4)wipe data/factory reset
5)FLASH ROM
--------------------------------------
EDIT1: I noticed, just to keep you posted, that on the recovery menu the SD appear to be "not well partitioned", i don't know if it may be the cause.

Do you have app2ext working?
I'm guessing here. Try backing up your SDcard on a pc (preferably via cardreader) and giving it a thorough format with one partition only. You may need to delete the partitions first. I can't tell you how unless I know your operating system. If you continue having the shutdown issue afterwards you would be able to cross out SDcard problems at least.

Hi ROBINGAZI, thanks for your fast reply.
ehm, what is exactly app2ext?
I don't have a card reader right now, does it really change if I mount the SD via the phone? Anyways, i got a machine running WIN 7 x64.
hope this step will clear out the problem

Plug your phone to the computer as disk drive.
copy everything you have on the sdcard to a directory in your computer.
then click start>control panel>administrative tools> computer management.
a window will appear and you should see "storage"
in storage you will find "disk management".
you should be able to see your phone's SDcard there. right click and then delete the partition into unallocated space. Then right click and create a partition (fat32). format the partition.
if needed remount the sdcard to your computer (not the phone)
copy only one zip file (the rom you want to flash) to the SDcard (preferably something reliable like stock or something very close to stock).
unplug the phone and reboot into recovery. Do a full wipe...format everything apart from the sdcard if you think it is proper.
flash the rom and see what happens.
this way you can at least rule out the SDcard for causing your problems.
PS: Dont restore via nandroid...you could be putting the problem back into your phone.
BTW: Does your phone shut down properly or the screen goes blank like it would if you unplug a computer. Anyway make sure you dont just have a loose battery cover or battery before you try this out.

Thanks again.
Yeah my phone screen just goes blank like it would if you remove the battery from it while on.
I restored the SD card and it works properly. installed Revolution HD 5.2.6
As i stated earlier i also tried to shake the phone to see if the battery had some kind of faulty retention system but the phone stays on.
So i really can't understand what is the problem.
PS: I was curious, is there an application that tells you the entire life of a battery? meaning since when it started to operate?

NEW UPDATE ABOUT THE MATTER:
It's DEFINITELY the battery...i don't know why, i don't know with what criteria but it's the battery.
Yesterday i switched it with my brother's phone, obviously another DHD. Since then i have had absolutely no problem of any sort. He, instead, is experiencing random shut downs...
i think that the "problem is sloved" so to speak
the question about the battery app remains...or maybe there is a way to see the battery entire life cycle with a system file.

[Q] (solved) uninstalled OS, unable to connect to computer

I hate to be that guy, but i have tried searching the forums and have had no luck...
Basically while flashing CM10 I screwed up and installed the wrong Gapps pack (never trusting goo manager again)
I got stuck in an endless boot cycle (saying 'installer has stopped' on boot, not allowing any actions)
I did a wipe before attempting to restore... and then my backup was gone.
So now I'm stuck with either attempting to restore to stock (which I'm ok with, I think this is not really my game) or going to a custom rom.
But right now I have no OS installed and my computer will not recognize the device. I have tried kies, installing / reinstalling sammy drivers, and i still can't get anything to appear except for a cd drive.
I have tried on windows xp pro, xp media edition, windows 7 home, same result.
I can still boot into download mode and recovery (i have TWRP as my recovery)
but again, i somehow wiped my backup, i can't get my computer to recognize i have a phone, and i don't have access to an SD card port.
If I get an micro sd card reader, would that give me the ability to copy the rom zip file?
I would really appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
Help! is there any way to fix my phone?
EDIT: MY PROBLEM WAS I had just recently installed a 64gb microsd card, and it was not formatted correctly... ended up getting the correct version of Gapps and a stable version of cyanogenmod (10.1) and installing them onto my girlfriends SD card (which was only 32gb and formatted correctly). I went to walmart and got a SD card to USB adapter for $8, loaded the zips onto that, and flashed them very quickly and easily through TWRP.
Not sure if it makes a difference but I flashed CM FIRST by itself, then after that booted up all nice and happy I went back and flashed Gapps (because without google what are you supposed to do? use it as a phone!? )
and everything installed perfectly and without a hitch.
Thanks for the quick help everyone!

Your not bricked at all, you just have no os.
In twrp make sure your looking at the external sd card foe your backup. And yes if you can get a micro sd card reader/adapter, you should be able to copy a rom file to it.

Re: [Q] soft bricked, but not able to connect to computer
You could also just put the sdcard in another phone and access it on your computer through THAT one
But yeah, as said above, you just have no OS.

Re: [Q] soft bricked, but not able to connect to computer
Thanks guys. I ended up using an SD card adapter, and loading the zip onto that.
Feel kinda silly for not thinking of that before.
Finally got CyanogenMod to load though!I tried it before only to get that installer has stopped error.

Help on the way
THERE IS 2 WAYS TO FIX IT.
1. POWER OFF THE DEVICE ONCE IT IS POWERED OFF FULLY HOLD THE BACK BUTTON WHILE HOLDING IT PLUG IN USB CABLE AND FLASH DOOMKERNAL AND THEN I RECOMMEND YOU SHOULD PUT DONUT HD ON THE SD CARD THEN. UNPLUG USB AND THEN POWER ON DEVICE ONCE YOU FEEL IT VIBRATE RAPIDLY PRESS BACK BUTTON YOU SHOULD BE ON CWM THEN INSTALL ROM AND YOUR SET.
2.DOWNLOAD Sony PC Companion AND THEN CONNECT PHONE THEN GO ON REPAIR PHONE AND IT WILL TELL YOU THE REST.
NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL NO MORE CM IT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE THE WHOLE PHONE DIDN'T WORK GOT STUCK ON BOOTCYCLE
ANOTHER NOTE: IF WIFI DOSEN'T WORK JUST DOWNLOAD WIFI MODULS HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253853 JUST SCROLL DOWN UNTIL IT LOOKS LIKES YOU FIND THE WORD NEW.
OVERCLOCK MAY NOT WORK. RECOMMENDED IS NOT CLOCKED.
3.I RECOMMEND REPAIR IT WITH SONY PC Companion THEN ROOT IT AFTER ROOT JUST PUT CWM AND THEN PUT DOOMKERNAL AFTER THAT FLASH DOOMKERNAL THEN GO INTO CWM AND THEN PUT DONUT HD INSIDE AND YOUR SET.

[Q] Storage issue..not sure really what the problem is!

Hi there, I am definitely a beginner so please go easy on me.
Background: I have a Bell Htc one m8 that I have rooted ( I can confirm this by the fact that root checker says I am even after doing a factory reset)
Problem: I am trying to instal Sunshine to get s-off but, i am running into the problem that I cannot seem to get the file onto my phone in any way. When I try to use dropbox I get the error "Storage full or unavailable" , when I try to install from the Sunshine website i get "No SD card: An SD card is required to download downloadfile.apk" and when I try to HTC Sync, it just freezes and needs to be force quitted (I am on a mac). I have also tried to use bluetooth but the file wont send because of an "unsuccessful transfer error."
SO, I am not sure what I did wrong along the way.. but I know its something. I have tried to retrace my steps by doing a recovery in TWRP but the issue remains. I have tried cleaning up my cache using the factory reset function in TWRP with the problem persisting when i get the phone set up.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!!
