Cross-posted from MoDaCo.

Of note for this run:

I used nohup in the recovery script, but I used it successfully before as well.
When I got into recovery, it dropped back to the red triangle; had to re-run the bat file. Again, this has happened before as well.
When I went to create a nandroid backup (nand only), it failed with the "run nandroid-mobile.sh from adb" message.
I haven't bootlooped in a long time.
I hadn't flashed yet; I was backing up in preparation. This fairly clearly points to the recovery method.

Powered off the phone and restarted it into recovery and got the dreaded Qualcomm CDMA device driver pings.
--------------------------------

I flashed many a time before this with no issues. Win 7 x64 desktop using the stock cable on front-facing USB ports. I hadn't flashed a ROM, but I'm running a modified version of eViL's build. Doesn't matter, it seems pretty clear it's a problem with recovery, not the ROM you're using or flashing in that instance.

I have a question... what's bricked user's USB chipset on their computer?


God knows some of them do suck.

ICH10R southbridge, X58 board. DFI X58-T3eH6, Core i7 920, 12GB RAM. Again, I flashed countless times without any issue, using exactly the same methods, cable, port, card reader, everything. That was the only thing that made me give it another shot; if it hadn't happened thus far and was truly a system-related thing, it wasn't going to happen now. It did. Consistency does not apply, unfortunately.

Ss soon as people have bricked their phone using the SD card method, I really think it is not a usb-related problem...

All points to a bug in the recovery mode of the phone

Yeah but he is working on another rooting method which he says will be safer.

Oh, thank you. I thought he ment the 'nohup' option. ;)
Maybe, lets see. I don't flash more until it is 'safe' or I need to send it back.
For so long I live with the 2.1 MoDaCo with working A2SD+.
Enough, atm...

And so long I don't try to modify the design! :D

Very good advice, mate. :)

But, despite the fact that I was the guy that first praised for a global flash stop on MoDaCo (I'm 'afiorillo' over there), I just flashed the newest radio and Richard's kernel some minutes ago into my baby. I couldn't resist, it's stronger than me. :D

I never had any of the symptoms that I believe led to "bricking" the Desire (console instability, flickering, etc), NEVER. The database I'm collecting on MoDaCo seems to accomodate this assumption, let's see how the thing will evolve over time.

Hmmm, the last time I flashed, I also saw the red triangle come back a few times, before I came into the custom recovery. I think I was close to bricking my phone...:eek: :eek:

This is all too much of a concern. The only reason the majority of us want to root is for app2sd which apparently is not guaranteed to work. So I will wait for Android 2.2 to be released on the HTC Desire. If the rumours hold any truth, we should not be waiting past July. Please please please HTC let this be true!

I'm reading Twitters from ahmgsk_mod, and he just made a new recovery with Amon_RA for the Desire. Hope this wil fix/prevent more problems!

does the usb brick only affect root and custom roms flashing?
I want to unbrand my t-online desire with a WWE stock ROM, is it safe?

TIA,
