[Q]Fuze undetected on any PC, just charges

I am in deep trouble here and could really use some help please. My ATT Fuze is not being detected by any PC and i have tried everything from different wires to changing everything on the fuze it self. Now my only option is to exchange it but i don't have the original OS because i am using NRGs Rom and hard SPL it about 4 months ago. Now to my question, is there anyway i can revert it to stock ROM and SPL with micro sdhc card? I need some steps please because i cant find a way to do it. Would i have to change the OS and the SPL to return if there is anyway please let me know.

First, what OS are you running on your PC.
Second, have you disabled/Enabled "enable faster data" in Settings/Connections/USB to PC?
Third, Have you deleted the partnership and tried to reestablish it?
Doesn't seem to be a warranty issue.

Fuze Reply
First of all thanks for your reply.
I have tried it on 4 different computer but unfortunately same result on vista and XP, on my phone i am using NRG july version rom.
I have disabled and enabled faster data in but doesn't seem to matter.
I tried everything, i reinstalled windows mobile device but doesn't seem to matter. When i ended the partnership it wasnt being detected after it or before it.
Cant i exchange it because its a faulty phone? Also can u please tell me if i can revert it to att stock rom and spl with a micro sdcard because i am going to buy a card reader. I really don't want to toss this phone and waste all that money please help!

Yes, you can revert via SD card.
Do Radio and ROM first, then do stock SPL last.
Rename each RAPHIMG.NBH (one at a time) on a FAT32 formated card 2gb or smaller.
Go into bootloader mode and it should flash from there.
I would test your USB connection after you flash back to stock ROM before you flash the stock SPL to see if it may have fixed your issue.

Huh
Thanks a lot man!
Now the hard part , why do u say a card 2gb or smaller?
So i can revort the SPL with a micro sdhc card also? can u tell me where i can find this stuff, i am really sorry for the trouble and would really appreciate it if you can tell me step by step because i am a noob
Hopefully ATT exchange it for the usb issues , gotta check with them after this. Thanks

I've heard that anything over 2 gb will cause an issue but I have done it from an 8gb card.
Start here for issues encountered.
Basically once you find your ROM Radio and SPL, extract the files so you can see the .NBH files for each.
1. Take the ROM file and rename it "RAPHIMG.nbh " without quotes.
2. Place it in the root of your storage card and enter bootloader mode (Volume Down + Reset), the phone will read the image file and begin to load it.
Do this for each file but wait until the first file has loaded.
Radio.nbh will be renamed to RAPHIMG.nbh
SPL.nbh will be renamed RAPHIMG.nbh
As one is done loading, remove it from starage card and put the next one on and repeat step 2.
Another thread regarding SPL.
I hope this helps you and sorry I don't have the time to walk you through it.
Just read first then you'll know what to expect.

my best guess is just in case the bootloader doesn't have drivers for SDHC cards... my x51v has drivers for SDHC in WM, but flashing requires SD cards because the bootloader doesn't read SDHC

revert SPL or no?
Hey thanks bruce!
One more question, should i revert the SPL even tho i changed the radio and os. When i go to ROM version it says 1.95 but is that the SPL? Also you think ATT will take the phone back with the phone not syncing reason or do i have to make up some other stuff up? O btw the 8gb kingston card worked fine for reverting it and it still doesnt detect the phone

To be safe I would revert the SPL as well.
The 1.95 is the ROM build base.
You want to revert back to stock SPL 1.90.
I can't second guess what AT&T will cover or not but you may want to "further your cause"....
Best of luck!!!

in my experience (my UK t-mob vario is back at repair right now) - DONT revert the SPL if you cant do it from the USB.
Obvisously you have a different setup to me, but when i tried to revert my phone to stock for exactly the same fault (no usb sync, regardless of pc or cable / phone rom, state etc etc) i managed to get the phone to refuse to boot due to a spl / rom difference. As i couldnt load from usb - i couldnt flash anything new, and as i had managed to overwrite hard spl - i couldnt flash what i wanted from the SD card! (if i could get the usb to work, i could fix it all - but as that was the problem i had to send it off fubar)
For some reason (god knows why!) it appears that t-mob are repairing my phone under warrenty despite the spl error but i wouldnt advise getting yourself in the same situation, as i was 100% expecting it to come straight back to me!
My personal advice is send it off with the correct rom, radio & splash screens (and remove security unlock if required) so the phone looks stock - the only difference will be the spl version. They probably wont notice!

1.90 or 1.95
Thx for the info guys, my new phone is coming and it took me about 2 to finally on its way. About the SPL, mine says 1.90 and that was when i first did the hard spl to change roms. What is the stock SPL 1.90 or 1.95? at loading it hows me 1.90 olinex i think...also i can change it if needed with my 8gb sdhc card or no?

I had a problem with my PC not detecting my fuze a few weeks ago. I found out it was my new firewall blocking the connection. I disabled the firewall and it worked like normal.

If it were me i would try to connect again after you flash the stock rom. If there was something wrong with the usb it still wont work. If it connects to activesync the maybe it was your ROM, or something else.
Just a suggestion

My treo 750 wont boot

Hello people!! i've been reading this forum for a loong time and yesterday i decided to register.I really like this forum but i have a problem.
While tryng to flash my 750 it stops in GSM an it doesn't pass that part and now it only starts in the bootloader screen.
The first two parts, are OK, but then stops in GSM.
Is there any way to make it pass? or to make it boot WM again.
I've tried with diferents WM version (2.23, 2.27 an with WM5) but it's the same.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks in advance!!!

I've been reading about the Hard SLP but it needs an active sync conection, and I can't do that.
I read it from here.

HardSPL is necessary for you to flash to a non-carrier/custom ROM.
If you have the original ROM with you, you can restore the phone from that ROM package.
Whatever the case, do yourself a favor & find someone with a Windows computer & flash the phone from the desktop ROM package.

Ok, but the thing is that my treo won't boot WM so i can't have a conection with active sync and i can't run de upgrade for desktop.I've already tried that and it doesn't connect.
That's my problem.
it only boots on bootloader screen and shows:
Palm Tr
IPL-0.20
Palm Tr
SPL-0.24.0000
Thats why I can't upgrade using the USB method.
Thanks Again!
Regards!

I'm still in the same situation.
is there any way to Hard SLP with and SD card?
Is it possible without using a desktop computer?
Thanks!!

From the bootloader screen information, it's obvious you had a stock ROM & had not performed HardSPL.
But since your Treo is able to load the bootloader, all it needs is a stock ROM to be flashed using the SD card method.
Search around here for the SD card updating method & the stock SD update file.
Extract the ROM image onto the SD card according to the instructions & you'll be able to flash the stock ROM onto the Treo.
Once you did that, your Treo should be able to boot WM & you can then perform all the other steps needed to flash a cooked/unofficial ROM onto it.

Help please!

Hacking HTC Magic like breaking into fort NOX!!

I've spent the last few hours searching for the ways and guides on how to hack the HTC Magic and i think im about lost.
first of all i used to have the htc touch hd and it was as simple as running a program to get it to the right SPL then flashing it then throwing on a new ROM.
Now for the Magic i'm being told to put an image on an sd card the im told to make a goldcard but dont format the gold card? ive got the 8gb card that came with it! thats it.
im using windows 7 and ive tried to use HTC Sync but it wont detect the device.
ive gone in and updated the drivers with the ones that were recommended on here and still no detection
the device is a 32b
Radio 2.22.19.26I
hboot 1.33.0006 (SAP10000)
Australian Vodafone one
ive got no idea where to go from? what the hell do i do? i followed the guide here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Sapphire_Hacking
i assume the drivers did install correctly as i type ADB Devices in my cmd box and it comes up with my devices Serial number.
after that it tells me how to use adb and fastboot? why do i want to knlow this? i just want to be able to update the rom and be able to put whatever applications i want on it and change the startup screen as well as a heap of themes and the likes.
i guess basically what im asking is whats the easiest way to root this device? i dont know where to go from when ive adb'd the device...
ive no idea what rom to put on or what to do. also its a 1.6 in the info box when i check it. so im assuming its the donut version.
take it i need to get it back to 1.5 but im struggling to do this..
these guides seem awefully difficult...

To root the phone, I followed this guide: http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/
There is a link for Donut rooting also. Hope it helps.

you shouldn't have any issues with that spl, only that you have the vodafone au OTA donut
read up on one click - very quick and easy. you need to revert to cupcake before you can use flashrec though...
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/

Htc Sync didn´t detect my phone either but i managed to hack it via goldcard procedure and i had a perfected spl 1.33.0014 32a device.
Now i got a rooted phone but Sync still doesn´t detect my phone and I´ve used 3 different PCs and different OSs - XP, Vista and Win 7.

i followed the one click. but it says to use htc sync which doesnt work. as im in windows 7 even with the updated drivers, with the goldcard thing i only have the sadisk card that came with the phone.
what i will try is turning the device into its boot loader and then runnning the RUU they supplied with the one click and see what happens.

just tried it with it in boot loader but usb isnt detected will try it with the actual phone on and see what happens
Edit: tried that also, still doesnt work just running the RUU file from unlockr.

I have a vodafone magic 32b with the 1.6 OTA upgrade. The guide on unlockr requires using a nbh file but the guide doesnt have a link to an nbh for vodafone only roger and it says that they couldnt find a vodafone one. I was also trying to use the relentless rooter but couldnt get it to work.

BTW are you using the newest version of HTC Sync because that is the only version that comes with the drivers for windows 7.

also do i need a specific RUU or anything? will the one i downgrade too the 1.5 be fine to use in australia?

i used this one

Hi
Try reading through this guide:
http://vivekgolecha.blogspot.com/2009/08/as-promised-i-said-i-would-come-up-with.html
Especially this part:
*Tip: If your computer says the drivers are installed but it is installing the wrong drivers, I recommend Uninstalling the drivers using this program, USBDeview, then plug the phone in again and choose the correct drivers in the SDK USB Drivers folder
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The drivers are in C:\AndroidSDK\usb_driver or similar path.
The gold card method worked for me (I have an HTC Magic 32A), but I think I should point out that in step 13 of the gold card guide make sure that you choose Removable Disk under Physical Disk.
Here's also a guide to installing proper drivers:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
Good luck
EDIT: By the way the guide says that you have to have a spare microSD card, because after transforming the microSD card to a "Gold Card" it can't be used for anything else. This is not true. If you have an microSD card adapter (to be able to access it from your computer), just put it in your computer's expansion card slot and format it as FAT32. This way you don't have to have to microSD cards to go through the procedure. If you don't have an adapter and you instead have to microSD cards, you can format the gold card through the phone, once you've got it up and running again, making it a normal, fully-working microSD card again

I dont beleive that vodafone use the RUU because they are upgraded OTA but if they did it would have to be a vodafone branded version. What i think you need is a sappimg.nbh as i heard there is a version that will work for all magics, ill have a look and try find you one. BTW i can only post once every 5 mins as my account hasnt been chaecked by moderaters yet sorry.

thanks LayzeeDK ill try it tomorrow after work and let you know how i go.

You do that. I had a lot of trouble getting my phone flashed and rooted too at first, but after these steps you'll get the hang of it and it'll pretty much be a walk in the park next time
By the way don't waste your time on the one click method as it only works on a few certain SPL's.
Upgrade to the 1.33.2010 ENG SPL in the guide and you can flash most ROMs using fastboot and Amon_RA's Recovery ROM (if v1.5.2G doesn't work try v1.3.2 and v1.2.0). I wasn't able to flash and replace the stock recovery ROM until I upgraded to the 6.35.x Hero radio and 1.76.2007 SPL. If you can't either, you should still be able to use fastboot in USB mode to boot into Amon_RA's recovery ROM. Just place for example recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img in C:\AndroidSDK\Tools (or similar directory), turn off your phone, boot into fastboot by holding BACK and pressing POWER and connect your phone to your computer with the USB cable then type: fastboot boot recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img or whatever version you're using (in Windows cmd command prompt). The phone will reboot and boot into the custom recovery ROM. Remember to pull out the USB cable or you won't be able to access the SD card from within the recovery program.

Hm??? I've used "One-click" myself because I have PerfectSPL (still have - 1.33.0010; and I don't have second microSD for "goldcard" and no willingnes to do it) and I've read procedure twice just now but nowhere I see anything about HTCSync ( I have no Windows so it could be hard to use HT CSync on Linux ;P )
So what are You talking about when You mention "one-click"? dunno

the one click procedure is on www.theunlockr.com its just what they call their way to hack the phone, however it doesnt work due to windows 7 ill also contact google/htc to see if they can help get the sync sorted.

Yeah, right, I'm reading this same article 3rd time and I don't see HTCSense anywhere unless You are reffering to comments then good luck but comments is not the procedure.
PS: are we talking about this same article? http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/

HTC Synd v2.18 should be working with Windows 7, but here's a workaround:
http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/
And another guide to get USB connection working:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/

So... How did it go?

i get to here
(wait for the it to show a serial number underneath, if it doesn’t then reinstall the drivers from section I). Then type:
adb shell
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid
5. A code will display, write the code down (MAKE SURE TO WRITE IT DOWN EXACTLY!)
i get this
cat/sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid NOT FOUND
thats as far as i can get. i found another guide but it talks about having RC29 or RC7 to root the phone however i have DRC92
firmware 1.6, baseband 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I kernal 2.6.29.00479.g3c7df37

Desire HD unlock/debrand

hi all. I’ve been trying to unlock desire HD for a while and eventually managed to get it sorted.
The info was on this site, but scattered around a bit, so if this is useful (i.e. all in one place) let me know..
Like all these things:
IM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE, AND YOU SHOULD ONLY DO THIS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING...!
IT WORKED FOR ME FIRST TIME. I DID THIS AS AN EDUCATIONAL EXERCISE ON A BRANDED ORANGE UK HTC DESIRE HD PHONE.
This was done with no sim card installed at any point, just a formatted SD card.
First do a factory reset of the phone with an SD card inside, no sim.
Start the phone, and go through the basic setup, by skipping most things, just so you can get to the home screen.
Step 1. Put your device in USB debug mode.
Press 'settings', then 'applications', press 'development', then tick 'usb debugging'
Step 2. Get visionary and install to the phone to do temproot, then permroot.
The apk file you need is com.modaco.visionaryplus.r.14.apk
I will try to upload, if the site lets me. Otherwise a quick search will find it.
Once it is installed to your phone (i used the htc desktop sync tool to install the app) by connecting my phone, select htc sync as the type of connection (as opposed to charge only) then from HTC sync suite (on your PC) select application installer, then select the visionary .apk file.
Once installed, disconnect the phone and power cycle the phone. (With all the power cycles mentioned in this post there is no 'holding of other keys' required)
Once back up, go into settings on the phone and you will see the visionary logo in your list of applications.
Start the application, and you will see the temp root option. Select this, and then come out of the application and power cycle your phone.
Once you do this, and the phone is back up again, go back into the visionary app, and then select permroot option.
Then again power cycle your phone. BTW, i did not select the tick box to make the folders r/w, some instructions said to do this.
Once you have restarted the phone for the second time, it should be perm rooted. To confirm its rooted, you can take the time to install a terminal program, and run an 'SU' command, but i did not bother. I just figured that the permroot worked.....which it did...
OK we are finished with visionary, thanks visionary guys..!
Step 3:
You need to get hold of the 'HD easy radio tool', again, i will try to upload the file.
Basically you need to unzip the zip file to a folder on your PC. Connect your HTC Desire HD, and then select 'charge only' in the phone selection. (i happened leave the HTC sync suite running on the PC, even though it was idle)
Go to the folder you unzipped on your pc and run the desire hd easy radio tool_V2_2.exe. you then get several options to choose. I went the whole way and selected the first option 'super CID,s-off, unlock'
Then proceeded to do it. It took about 30s to 1m. You should get a message that it was successful.
Thanks easy radio tool guys!!
Step 4.
You need a ROM, or RUU file. I chose this one. Its quite a large file and i will try to upload. I got it from this (xda) site, but cant find it now. From what i understand this one is completely 'blank' ie it does not appear to have lots of modifications, and it appears (from what i see on my phone) to be a clean factory rom. I tried to upload, but too big for site. You may need to google it.
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe
Connect your phone (again in charge only mode) and then start the 'RUU_Ace....' application on your PC.
It will start an HTC installer application that will try to connect to your phone. It will then show the current ROM you have installed, and confirm that you want to update to the one shown.
Remember to have a good charge in your battery, and don't disconnect during this point, you will brick your phone if you do. Make sure your PC does not go to sleep, and have it on external power if its laptop.
The flashing process takes about 2-5 minutes.
Once complete the pc htc application will tell you all was good.
The phone needs to be rebooted, if it has not done so already, and when it starts up, the phone will be brand new. No orange logos, no orange s/w, and fully unlocked to use any SIM card.
Good luck!

The only thing is using the 1.72 ruu you will lock yourself out of hboot and you missed off eng s-off as you would need this if you decide to flash a different Rom or update the radio
You also will not have root access once flashed as its been explain in the forums including the thread warning do not flash 1.72
The method is good but add the eng s-off and advise to flash 1.32.405.6 not the 1.72

Thanks, this worked for me first time.

what does the eng s-off mean and will I have any problems with OTA updates?
sorry new to this
Thanks

Eng s-off will give you access to flashing radio updates and other hboot uses and give you complete unlock and access to the phone as for the updates not sure if you will get them now

is it possible to reflash with 1.32.405.6 using this guide or am I stuck because I can't root?

I'm sorry, but lol. You've made a guide which is utterly useless due to the fact you are telling people to flash an official 1.72 ruu. Bad mistake.

Can you get into bootloader which is turn fastboot off in applications then power off then power up while holding volume down and power button keep pressing till phone powers up if it does might have a chance of going back to 1.32.405.6 let me know if it does I will help you get back if I can
Also my guide how to flash radio.img gives the same information here on how to debrand your phone with links to the threads with the tools to use

What makes it worse mate is all he done is downloaded the tools then made a guide then uploaded the tools what could work well if it was the right ruu and included how to do eng s-off which is required
My guide on how to flash radio.img has also got all the info all ready and links to the right threads to do everything you need before flashing anything
So this thread is pointless really the op should have read better

good good
right here goes nothing once again like every one else if you attempt this its at your own risk you can leave the phone as it is if you choose to do so
here is a link to another thread how to downgrade to 1.32 you can follow this guide as there is a high chance it will work but it is difficult to get your head round
but the other option you could try is the way i did it when i wanted to clean my phone of everything i had done including installing custom rom with build 1.72 it did work but it does not work on every phone im told download the signed.exe ruu of 1.32.405.6 from >>>>>here<<<<< 7th one down from top of list
you will need htc sync installed then plug phone in set to charge only
extract the zip folder to the desktop
then run the ruu.exe as you would any other application double click it
follow on screen instructions yes it does take a while and it will wipe your phone of anything you had on it so do a back up of what ever you want to keep
dont forget you can back you contacts up to sd card using people>menu>export to sd card
like i said it is your choice if you use this information i take no responsibility if anything goes wrong but the second option is the way i did it and my phone is running
good luck if you do do it either way let me know how it goes

you will need htc sync installed then plug phone in set to charge only
extract the zip folder to the desktop
then run the ruu.exe as you would any other application double click it
follow on screen instructions yes it does take a while and it will wipe your phone of anything you had on it so do a back up of what ever you want to keep
dont forget you can back you contacts up to sd card using people>menu>export to sd card
like i said it is your choice if you use this information i take no responsibility if anything goes wrong but the second option is the way i did it and my phone is running
good luck if you do do it either way let me know how it goes

So is it possible to debrand an/or sim-unlock the Desire HD without to root your phone because I would like to update my phone with regular ota updates from HTC ?? And because my phone is sim-locked I can't download the new software version OTA 2.2.1 ??

Trying to do both at same time I do believe if its locked to network you need to create a goldcard first

An RUU is a pre-packaged install from a vendor? Do you mean a proper custom rom?
If not, then you will unroot your phone

Question about goldcards

Hi, I've made a gold are for a second desire s I got for free as it wont boot and have been trying to revive.
The card works as it should and bypasses the cid although I think the desire is beyond help as i cant flash the bootloader no matter what process i try, my question is about keeping the card for future use in other devices.
Once made and used can it be re used over and over in different devices with different files for those specific phones or do you have to remake the card each time its used for a different phone?
My other question is does formatting it mean you have to re make the gold card or does the hex edit remain?
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

I have tried every mothod going to try and flash that phone, it refuses to touch the bootloader.
Ruus won't even try cos it won't boot, official branded roms with the right cid the same android version give a same version error before it even tries to flash.
Different version roms that are right cid freeze on flashing bootloader be it in the form of a PG88IMG from SD or in fastboot.
And unbranded roms used with a gold card freeze on flashing bootloader.
The phone won't restart to bootloader from bootloader and any programs that try to restart the boot loader fail to managed it at the bootloader freezes with battery pull being the only way to shut phone down and try again.
When I got this phone from a friend it never booted past t-mobile screen and he says it just stopped working one day, its not keen messed with and as a result I think usb debugging was not enabled ether although fastboot does work for some commands strangely.
Basicly anything that trys to work with the bootloader gets told where to go by the phone lol
If it was s-off I could have used the work around from booting the o.s from the SD card but its not.
I think the emmc has corrupted from agressive multiple app updates from the marketplace and think its beyond help, I've spent hours trying everything lol. Now I just want to know if the gold card I made can be reused in other phones and what a format would do to the card.
