[Q] Multiple HTC Desire Problems - General Questions and Answers

Hi All,
I'm a noob to this forum, so apologies for askign silly questions.
I have mutiple problems with my HTC Desire, and HTC aren't very helpful.
I started getting a Wi-Fi error after updating some software about a week ago. If i try turning on the Wi-Fi I just get 'error'.
My computer (Windows Vista 32) also will not recognise the phone. When I plug it in a get an error message from windows.
I thought my phone was rooted as i updated it to 2.2 about 2 months ago, but after reading a post in this forum, I don't have the superuser application on my phone. Does this mean it's not rooted.
Is it possible to create a goldcard to flash the phone if i can't connect the phone to the computer.
I tried putting a ROM on the sd card last night, going into recovery mode, wiping the data and then installing the update.zip but this wouldn't work.
HTC have told me that it's not fixable and should just return the phone to them for repair. Only problem is, the phone is outside of the warranty.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

[Q] USB not recognized

Hi All
I just have got a sensation. I cannot connect to my laptop anymore, it worked fine for a few days, but every time I connect it to my laptop, a message pops up saying that USB is not recognized, I have tried on three computers (XP + Win 7) have installed/uninstalled HTC sync with the drivers.
On the phone itself, I don't get a notification showing the options for USB connection (Charge, HTC sync etc), however it charges fine using the USB cable while connected to the PC.
I have reset my phone to factory default, formatted SD card, have tried another USB cable but no luck.
I just do not understand what can be wrong all of a sudden, once it was working fine last night but not today
Can someone please help? I have sent an email to HTC support already with this information. I'll see what they got to say about this.
Wish If i could help but I'm having the same problem since yesterday And I've tried all of the above with no luck!
Device running in stock rom, unlocked & used for 10 days only.
I had that same problem once on my Desire HD, I removed the sd card, re-inserted it and started the phone, was all good from that point on.
It might work for you too.
Any updates on this, guys ?
I had the same problem..
I used another usb kabel that fixed it for me
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
No solution for me yet!! i've searched up & down but still nothing.. its getting really frustrating.
i might get rid of it all together after all.
USB & Internet pass-through
I had this problem too. I uninstalled HTC Sync and all related HTC programmes from my laptop. Downloaded the latest HTC Sync from HTC site, and installed. After that, it worked again.
My Sensation is rooted.

i have this very same problem.
tried 4 different computers, windows xp, windows 7 x486, windows 7 x64...
tried different cables... different roms... different kernels... dettached sd card... umounted sd... mounted sd... debug mode... default modes upon connection... the problem is definitely in the phone itself...
the computer simply ignores the connection, no sign of it. the phone behaves like it is connected to a charger, not to usb.
can anybody help us?
I am also getting the same problem now!! I was downgrading to GB, then again i went to JB miui. Then i wanted to format my sdcard, formatted it through PC, and i installed new CM9 rom on it. Now, after the CM9 rom is booting, the device is not recognized by windows!!!
EDIT : Removed SDCARD, then powered off, then reinserted SD, and rebooted into recovery. It got mounted from recovery, and installed a new ROM. Now it works flawlessly!!!

what rom did you install ?
Changing your cable may fix this problem.
Buy a new one.

USB Problem on my Inspire 4g( Please help!!)

Hi, all
I got a new inspire 4g last week. It was working fine. But now it does not detect the USB connection. It only charges when I connect to pc. No other issues. I have also noticed that during fast boot mode also pc does not detect the phone as a device. I have tried all the suggestion on xda but no luck.
Please help me to solve this issue. I have seen a lot of thread discussing this issue on HTC Desire. They all suggest to format mtd0 in fastboot mode .But during fastboot mode also my phone is not detected by PC (tried both on linux and win7. Other phones are working on the same pc) , So I could not format mtd0 and reconfigure it.
Can anybody have any other idea? If I change the main board how much cost will incur ??
Thanks all.
EDIT:
I have full access to recovery. Currenlty Clockwork mod 5.0.2 is installed . I can install custom rom without any problem.

Have you tried to remove and then reinstall the android driver?

Thanks for your reply. But there is no issue with driver because my phone does not detect the usb connection as well as the pc also does not detect the phone as a device ( in device manager in windows or in demesg in linux).
Please help..
Edit:
Today I have tested with another Inspire 4g (My friend is having one inspire 4g) with my pc. It is detected by my pc ( both in linux and windows). Fastboot as well as adb worked like charm. But my inspire is not detected by the same PC..
I have the same problem with my Inspire and yet to find the answer. Have tried everything i could find on the internet except a factory reset. If i cant fix it, will trade off for a Galaxy sii i guess.
I had the same issue a while back. Believe it or not, the USB cable just up and flaked out on me. I bought a new cable and it worked fine afterwards. Of course that was my last thing to check, but I had the cable for about 6 months. I travel a lot, so I think wear and tear got the best of it. It's worth checking...
swap usb cables, also canned air to the usb port on the phone wouldnt hurt
This just happened to my inspire as well. Charge is OK, but no more Mass Storage connection. I have tried on multiple computers and multiple cables. I even reset the phone back to stock and it still didn't work. Oh well. I have a Vivid on the way.

ATT ships an HTC data cable. They do not ship a charge only cable. Most likely you just got a bad cable.
I was following (like an idiot) the instructions for the Advanced Ace Hack Toolkit.
I uninstalled the My HTC phone that was listed in mY Device Manager
64 bit Windows 7 Pro.
Now, no matter what drivers I try to browser for, my computer cannot find a driver for 'Android Phone' when searching.
The HTC Drivers 3.0.0.0.7 installer doesn't seem to do anything, and crashes, saying it's not installed correctly.
Has anyone had this happen, and can correct it?

Agreed with Ago, you likely have a bad cable. please dont confuse new users. I would go back to att and get them to replace it.

First, I would like to know what part of following the instructions causes you to be an idiot?
Second, did you uninstall HTC sync?
Third, I would like to know IF you have tried running the installer as an admin OR if when you run the installer, it has the user account control pop-up asking about changes and the computer (or if you have disabled that through user accounts)
(Oh and I used AAHK's same driver installer on my Windows 7 x64 computer without an issue... sooooooooooooo it's likely a local issue, such as needing to verify the download's checksum, disabling antivirus [something about the first line where in the same section as uninstalling drivers], etc)
AND, a tool like at this page might help a litte... http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/view-the-list-of-installed-drivers-the-easy-way/
or if you wanna command line it...
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/wind...t-of-installed-drivers-from-the-command-line/
No joy my end either trying to install that HTCDriver3.0.0.007 on a Wind'ohs 7 x64 Shuttle
In certificates under options for this installer, "This certificate has expired or is not yet valid" Valid from 11/ 01/ 2011 to 17/ 01/ 2012". Can anyone help me to locate a driver that I CAN install to let me unlock a HTC Desire please?

[Q] Droid charge usb issues Please help!

Hi everyone, first, this is my first post, new to the forums, at least as a registered user. I have a problem with my phone. I know most of you are wondering why I have not just read the other posts on the forums, but I have. I have attempted every solution to the problem posted previously.
Background: Phone: Samsung charge.
I was being impatient and did not want to wait for the gingerbread update form Verizon. I flashed the leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 onto my phone using odin. Everything went great. I was able to use my phone with no problems except shortened battery life, but nothing major. About a month ago the battery life was impossible to maintain and there were some software bugs, like clicks during calls, startup taking forever, around 2 minutes on average!, and random restarts that never happened before. I decided to look up some fixes and found that verizon and samsung had released GB 2.3.6 for the charge. I got excited and decided I wanted to get that, but I could not via OTA. I read some forum posts and they mentioned attempting a factory reset on the phone then trying OTA update. I went ahead with factory reset and everything went fine. My startup time is around 25 seconds now and no random clicks or gliches, but still not on 2.3.6, which was the whole point. I then decided to just flash the stock 2.3.6 rom to the phone.
Problem: When I plug my phone in to multiple computers it will charge but not connect to the computer. This means on my Mac it does not show as an external drive, which it has in the past. On my windows 7 machine it says that drivers were installed but could not be used (I can get the exact quote if needed.) I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device". I have tried to enter download mode when hooked up to windows computers and no connection is found.
Possible solutions attempted and their outcomes:
1. As stated, I attempted the method shown in a thread on droid forums for installing the samsung drivers. I have attempted multiple times to install the drivers on my windows machine and the device remains "unknown".
2. I have attempted multiple cables on multiple computers, both mac and windows 7. No change.
3. I have installed adb and attempted to locate devices using adb devices command on mac. No devices found.
4. I have attempted all methods with both usb debugging checked and unchecked.
5. I have tried every possible usb port I have.
Ideas/questions I have had that I have no idea are possible or how to fix!
Would a factory reset take away the ability to connect to a computer from my phone. So, is there a piece of software in the build I have that controls the connection between the computer and the phone, an identifier of sorts, which is now missing, now that I have reset the leaked ROM.
Is there a way to flash a new ROM without connecting to a computer, via the sd card, and what is that? I have read some things in other posts but am too much of a n00b to understand most of them when using sdcards.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I have been at this for at least 6 hours, sifting through forums, searching google, attempting fixes that others have stated worked for them, only to fail every time. Thank you all.
i've had a few issues with this on my Droid Pro. with windows connection a connection assistant came up with some options that I was able to get it to work as a drive.
Getting it to work with adb is another issue alone. The phone needs to be in "debug" mode. I would search for a tutorial on this because you need to edit files on the computer.
for example on my windows I needed to edit one set of files, while on my linux I had to edit another set of things.
I leave my phone in debug mode because i use it for my android app dev on both computers. try that and see if it shows up on your mac.

[Q] Missing PG06DIAG.zip

Hi, I have a HTC EVO Shift , I have not used in about 2 years I thought it was no longer rooted so I reactivated it and updated the software the other day. it is now caught in a boot loop looking for PG06DIAG.zip & PG06IMG.zip. I found PG06IMG.zip, placed on my SD card and it loads that part fine. I have read every old post on here about this phone, and have not been able to solve my problem. USB DEBUGGING is not on and I don't see a way of connecting to my laptop. does anyone know where i can locate PG06DIAG.zip
have you tried using google ?

Please Help - MTP USB Device

Just got a HTC One SV this afternoon for the missus. (I am a Note 2 owner) and part of the deal to get her away from wanting an iPhone 5 was to convince her Android was the way to go. Of all the phones she looked at, she chose the HTC One SV because of its size ...
Brought it home with the promise I would set it up like my phone for her and all would be good.
Proceeded to follow instructions found in the HTC One SV section of these forums on unlocking the bootloader and so forth.
What a complete and utter nightmare HTC put their customers through for a simple unlock! Went to their site, followed the instructions, joined, emailed, got my "token" <-- what a joke! and proceeded with the next set of instructions which was to place a TWRP img on the phone.
Next thing I know windows pops up and says Device driver was not successfully installed. ? MTP USB Device ...
This I dont get at all. When I first plugged the phone into the PC the forst thing Windows did was install the drivers. The phone popped up in windows and I could access the internal storage.
I've installed HTC Driver & SyncManager but still whenever the phone is plugged in I get the MTP error and no phone in windows. So how am I to finish setting up this phone now?
The only reason for this post is I am exhausted, I've been searching these forums and the net for an answer, and I'm completely at my wits end.
I have an unlocked HTC One SV which may as well be bricked if I can't access it via PC. Maybe I should of let her have that damn iPhone 5 after all ...
Massive props to Seanie280672 who helped me get a recovery.img onto the phone. Phew!
Missus won't be giving me any grief over not getting an iPhone 5
That said, even though I managed to somehow connect the phone to the PC, it is still not coming up in windows explorer, and upon connection of the phone (USB) to the PC, windows always throws up the message that the drivers are not installed?
Check device manager and there's the dreaded little yellow astrix next to the mobile device. Somethings amiss here ...
Thx for the help, muchly appreciated. :good:
Since JB all HTC devices are recognized on PC as MTP device. Previous used UMS was kicked out.
Install the latest version of htc driver
I'm in Australia so I got the drivers from HTC.au site:
http://www.htc.com/au/support/news.aspx?p_id=537&p_name=htc-one-sv
The driver file is called setup_2.1.55.0_htc
Is this the latest or is there a different driver I should be using?

have u tried to enable usb debugging? Go to settings > developer options
If your driver is including HTC Sync, you should be fine.
You can uninstall Sync afterwards, driver for the phone will still remain.
Strangely deleting Sync did the trick. Plug in the phone and no pop ups saying drivers are not installed. Phone is now showing up in My Computer.
Yup, not the first time, Sync makes the problem.
