Hi! Just to share what happened to me recently.

My Legend is now sent to service. Don't know exactly what went wrong, but anyways.. I rooted it a couple of weeks ago. Been installing and trying out some ROMs ju find "the one" for me (I'm not new to this, been using rooted Magic and Hero earlier). Finally, I installed a ROM with busybox..so far so good. Then I rebooted my phone - FAIL! It didn't wake up again! :confused:

Finally I managed to reinstall a ROM by running "step1" from unlockr's "how to root a legend"-Guide.. But the phone complained about me removing the SD-card. Figured, maybe it was because of unlockr's (Pauls??) testimage, so i ran the official RUU 1.31 and it installed fine (it didn't before). But no, sd-card was still "removed". tried a secont sd-card, same problem. Bought a new 16GB Class 10 card (previous cards were 2GB/8GB class 4) - No go. So - the conclusion is - my sd-card reader is gone. Not to worry, warranty will take care of it - but has this happened to others? If it has, maybe busybox isn't such a great idea on the legend for now.

Hi, nothing wrong with your phone, just an glitch in software that controls usb.
Happen twice for me after flash/root

quite easy to fix with adb and fastboot and terminal software.

se other post and howtos for usb bricked
just make sure that you got same HTC_xxx number to match your device.

Oh, thanks.. then maybe I should try it before I send it in :) I actually read the posts before, but I didn't get how to hexedit the file :s I need the how-to for dummies ;) maybe you can help me with that part?

Edit: I can try this later, need to re-root my phone first.. I have my goldcard at home, I'll do it later tonight (I get off work in 6 hours). I'd appreciate if you could help me with the hexedit thou. Now I get "INFOCID is HTC__Y13" :)

Edit2: since I no longer have root, is it even possible to root the pgone with the sd-controller disabled? :s

Edit3: This is gonna be a loooong post. sorted out the hexedit anyway, I'll se what I can manage :9 Thanks :)

Problem solved! Thank you for your help! Got back root, now it's just the flashing part left :) The problem was, I couldn't see my Sd card - at all. but that was easily fixed with the help of this forum! You're great!
