[Solved] 32B USB-->PC problems (ADP1 works great)

Hi all,
I'm having some strange difficulties with - what i think are - the drivers for the Magic (32B). I cannot for the life of me connect the darned device to my PC in any way (well, apart from the storage option)! My ADP1 works 100% with adb/fastboot and whatnot and i'd really like it if the Magic would as well.... Both phones run the same version CM and i use the same cables/computer every time, both phones are set up the same (USB debugging and such) and both have an engineering bootloader but the Magic will not be recognized by my computer!
I've tried all and every driver i could find incl. the drivers that came with adb and the latest drivers from HTC Sync but all fail bad (the 'Android Bootloader interface' and 'MyHTC' drivers both give me a 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)' error...).
Now, i got it all working.... once... about a month ago to root the device and all and i cant remember changing anything since then but for some reason it simply doesn't work anymore. Has anyone here had similar experiences or any insights on how to fix this?
Help would be very much appreciated!!

So nobody knows? Hrm, im still having these difficulties...

Yes, like i said in my first post everything is setup the same (USB debugging and such).
Also, if im not mistaken it wouldn't matter if i enabled this or not when trying to get the phone hooked up in fastboot mode and that doesn't work either.

So i guess its quite a unique problem im having...... sucks

Well, after some heavy duty searching/experimenting i found that it was a driver problem (windows XP's driver handling REALLY sucks)!
If anyone else is having problems, here's how i fixed it:
Disconnect phone from PC
Download USBDeview and run it
From within this program remove ALL non-Mass Storage drivers for Android and/or HTC (unlike XP this DOES actually remove em)
Reconnect phone with debugging enabled and install drivers from SDK (in my case r3 drivers)
This fixed it for me!

The 'new' SDK works different from the old one, you actually need to install a bunch of stuff....
Get the package here, and read up on how to get the drivers with this package here!

help with my t-mobile pulse

just bought a t-mobile pulse today and was wondering if you you guys could help me with a couple of things.
i know that android can't run applications from the minisd card straight out the box. Could someone please list what needs to be done before the phone will do so. I know the phone will need rooting, does anyone know a simple rooting method for the pulse? and then what needs to be loaded to run applications from the sd card? Would anyone recommend doing these.
From what i've seen, this website seems a real community and this is one of the reasons i bought an android phone. Thank you for your time and help.

could someone help

No one is making root for pulse, no devs have one.

why is noone making a root for the pulse?

maybe this will help

[Q] Samsung Captive ATT non market app help

I have tried everything to get a one click solution to enable non-market apps. First and foremost I am on a MAC. No access to a windows machine. I have my phone rooted and have installed superuser status.
I am looking for a solution that will let me install (easily) non- market applications. There appears to be several solutions doing this on a windows machine. I have not been able to find a solution on a MAC. And instructions, help, videos anything is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
PS: not a total nube, but I have limited knowledge of the root directory and manipulation, but follow instructions well ........

What firmware are you on? Because if you are on the leaked 2.2 you should look on the leaked ji6 hacks forum page and it will give you the instructions that you can run in adb shell in the terminal application on a mac you just have to type ./adb (command) where windows users just have to type adb (command) you should make sure that you are comfortable on adb though because there are hardly any tutorials for adb on a mac around. I found that the hard way. Hope this helps, if you still can't figure it out post more info and I will do my best to help although I am still kinda a noob to android development.

Thank for the help, I will look at thie ji6 hack and see if it works. I'll let you know. Right now I have spent 3 days trying to unlock this pile of dung. ATT should be shot for doing this people. We bought the phone let us put what we want on it. PERIOD

Have you tried ADB? If you can get ADB to work, you should have the skill to copy over the settings.db and use the SQLeditor for Firefox plugin. Or use SQLite on the phone.
Read up on how to enable sideloading - the same commands that work on windows work on a mac - or very similar. As long as you know how to copy files in terminal you should be set.

HTC SYnc Windows 2003 Drivers

Greets all,
Mod, Sorry if this is in the wrong place, please move if need be, I did a search cause I was having trouble installed the drivers for the HTC Sync for the android, and since I was able to manage to get it installed, I thought if anyone else wasnt able to or if it wasnt found yet, I got it working for the HD2 "Motoman234 EVO Carbon Remix" Android.
Now it shouldnt matter and should work on all Androids but had to throw that in there just in case.
This is for Windows 2003 server (Instructions), but should work on other OS's:
1) Download the newest HTC Sync: 3.0.5481.
2) Run the installer, it will load many things as a requirement.
3) 2 Installer will fail: Windows Media Runtime 11 & USB Drivers. On both it will ask you if you want to continue to install, say yes.
4)Once installed, connect your phone, Windows will locate it and say new hardware found "ADB" Do not allow windows to search for the driverss, it wont find them, instead download the file from my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9719661&postcount=2
5)Unzip the folder, and make windows look in that folder, it might ask you if you should install it, say yes, once installed, your HTC Sync is fully functional to sync whatever you want.
Hope this helps anyone having trouble with Windows 2003, or any other version. And if this was solved already, my apologies, just trying to help.

I've been looking for 2003 drivers ever since I got my HTC Desire back in March. Will give this a go later and see how I get on.

I can confirm that the above procedure works fine. Many thanks

thanks you very much

good, I try and success!
good! I try and success. thanks a lot!

My pleasure, glad to be of help

You are amaizing,,,,, thank you very much... You saved me from installing new o/s
thank you once again

[Q] Total Noob in Need of Lots of Help :(

I just got my SNS yesterday and it's my first android phone (was previously using an LG cookie) First thing I did was try to root it, and I seemingly succeeded, or so I thought. It looks like it's rooted and the superuser apps there but I can't install apps using any of the guides I find or even update to 2.3.2 (keep getting and error 7 msg). When I try to install using APKInstaller it tells me it can't find the device, which I think is the problem.
I think the problem is that someway or another windows 7 64 bit stopped recognizing my phone as a Nexus S and now recognizes it as a portable device in device manager (There's also an Android Phone, with an Android Composite ADB interface) I used the SDK to install all the updates available including the google usb driver rev. 4. I tried updating the Portable device driver using the google usb driver but windows keeps it as a WPD Filesystem Volume Driver. Also I noticed when I checked to see if adb gave me a serial number for the phone using the cmd prompt commands in the rooting guides it comes up blank.
I used usbdeview to delete everything seemingly related to Android, but everytime I reconnect the phone it, installs the drivers for the portable device.
I need help to make windows recognize the phone as a nexus s again so I can update and install apps and games etc. If anybody out there can help i'll really appreciate it. Explain the steps to me as if you were talking to a child, leaving nothing out plz. Thanks for any assistance.
I live outside the US (no android market) and would hate to think I messed up and expense phone purchase in just one day

Not quite sure where to start. But my intuition tells me its the Windows 7 64-bit and drivers that's not playing along. You might want to google if other users are having trouble with W7 64-bit with Android drivers. Otherwise, find another computer and repeat the steps. If not, flash a custom ROM to see if that eliminates the problem. You haven't damaged your phone. Don't worry.

just install directly from android market website
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I assume you mean instal the update from the market (which I can't do because I don't have wifi)?
I managed to get the adb to list a device number after I installed java x32 & x64 bit. I still can't install apps or get the update to work, but I'll try unrooting and then rerooting my phone as see how that goes.
Oh, I haven't done the initial sign into gmail thing yet in case that makes any difference
Edit: god I feel stupid. I didn't realize that I had to upgrade from 2.3 to 2.3.1 and then to 2.3.2. I did that an everything upgrade without any problems. Now just got to figure out how to install apk's and I'm golden
Edit 2: Ok, I figured everything out and now i'm up to date with updates and I can install apps and games. Oh Happy Day Thx for all the help
