Hi all,
I have been running Darkstone SuperNand Froyo 1.5 for a while now and I have been looking for a new ROM.. When I find one I like, I can't get my Win Vista to recognize phone nor the phone to recognize usb. So now I am stuck and in need of help.. Tried to see if phone would recognize usb while in bootloader with no luck there either..
How can I fix this?
I think if you d/l clk it comes with drivers, manually add the drivers through win vista device manager that should do it its just because vista is tosh.......

=j4n87;15846555]Mhh, didnt remember if i required a driver to getbtge mass storage working...
Off topic: vista is after windows me the worst os ever
Google usb drivers are in this package...ignore adb, fastboot.exe..just picked up the package from the clk thread. Im on my way to work, so this was the best solution to help as fast as possible

You have to manually install them over the device manager.
Hope this helps.

i had the same problem on my cuzins computer.
(some old computer os had the drivers in the standard systemfiles for activesync, newer os dont standard have activesync/wmdc drivers)
install windows mobile device center 6.1.
you will not (never) use it but it wil have the drivers you need.
it will work.
So you've gone into the tri colour screen? (vol down and power) with the usb plugged into your phone and pc. At the bottom it should say usb and at the top your spl version.
What happens on your device?

i dont have the hd2 with me (using a DZ now for a while), but if you have magdlr, go to usb flashermode, or go to tri colour.
or use/and a ruu.
i have hspl 2.08/hspl3 on the phone and magdlr 1.13.
just recently tried the new wp7 and the reverted back to nand android.
thats when i had the same problem.
I get the tri color screen it says usb at the bottom but does not connect my HSPL is 2.08.. I can't even get task29 to run.. I also have windows mobile device center on my laptop as well as htc sync... neither one of them recognize the phone.

usb port on the comp/phone is working oke?
is the cable any good?
the phone is useles in tricolourmode, exept for flashing a ruu
sometimes the ruu will error the first time, just try it again.
if you want to flash,
use magdlr (hold the most left button pressed when powering on the phone), go to usb flasher, then use the ruu for partitioning/task 29 whatever.
and then use clockwork to flash the rom
i only use tricolour if i want to go back to wm6.5 (or when i want to get rid of magdlr).
for evrything else i use:
magdlr flasher mode---> for partitioning nand
clockwork---> for roms
when i go into usb flasher I get the same messages when trying to run the ruu or task29. I will try it again when I get home in about 45 min and will update

(when the ruu is giving a error, imediatly try again)
you can also try this.
flash a custom wm6.5 from tricolour. (hspl wil remain on the phone)
then go trough the whole proces of flashing a nand android rom as it was for the first time.
(task 29/magdlr/clockwork/custom rom)
now its sleeping time.
RUU ran and stock 6.5 WinMo back on device.. .Will keep you guys updated on the progress... Thanks for all of the help
you must to use Android 2.3.4

I have adb installed. HTC sync nor Droid explorer are running. I verify adb works because I can see my device. My problem is that the revolutionary.exe is not detecting my phone. Says waiting for device. Usb debugging turned off. I've been trying for the past 6 hours and no go. I'm coming from a Vibrant where we don't have locked boot loaders n such. Is there another method to achieve s off? The noob guide didn't help me. Hope someone can.

Usb debugging should be on. There's your problem.

Meant to say on
Both HTC Sync and Droid Explorer have to be completely uninstalled from your computer to make it work. Also, download and unzip the HTC Naked USB Driver to a folder somewhere on your computer. While the Revolutionary tool runs and says "waiting for device" open device manager. You may see a yellow exclamation point icon with something like "Android Phone" or "Android Composite Device." The actual title escapes my memory, but you get the idea. Update the driver and point it to where you unzipped the USB driver. Restart the computer after you uninstall the HTC Sync, Droid Explorer, and install the USB driver and try the Revolutionary tool again. Let us know what happens.
this is what im seeing... gosh i feel noobish
Try to update the driver and point it to where you unzipped the new driver. Did you completely uninstall the other software? and you have it in "Charge Only" mode with USB debugging on right?
When I tried to update the driver it says Windows found the most current driver or something like that. Also phone is in charge only mode and usb debugging on. :-/Any remedies or such I'm open to hear them. I'm goin to sleep or try. I know its me just don't knw what it is.

HTC Sync does not have to be un-installed. It just can't be running at the time. Install HTC Sync & the drivers, make sure its working...say try to sync your phone to your pc. If its works then exit it off & unplug your phone from pc. Now exit HTC Sync from the taskbar on your pc...little phone with an x on it.
Turn on USB debug, plug your phone into your pc & select HTC Sync & ignore the error that it cant find it..then go from there..
Adb didnt have the correct path. Rolling eyes. Lol. Going to give it another try

Now just move on to the next steps and pick a rom I went with supra and its bomb
(I posted this in the guide to installing s-off etc etc but yeah I don't know if anyone's going to pay it any mind there :S If I was wrong to create this, I'm sorry ><)
Hi,
I keep getting a Communication interrupted error. I don't know if anyone else had this problem and can help me? I'm a n00b with this s-off thing and I triple checked with like 4 different websites to make sure I'm going the right way with this.
Doing this on Windows, I got the HTC driver, removed anything that would sync the phone to the computer, everything going well up until this point:
Zerging Root... this may take a minute or so..
Sending in Caroline...
Cleaning up...
Rebooting to fastboot...
Whien life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take back the lemons
Waiting for fastboot...
Rebooting to fastboot (again)...
Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try Again.
Press (almost) any key to exit.
What's wrong with it?
also:
I put on the USB Debugging, I turned off Fastboot, and yes, I checked - it is still S-ON *sad*
HTC Sensation 4G (pyramid-1.17.0008, Android: 2.3.3, ROM version: 1.29.531.2)
I have tried with the fastboot on as well
As for these troubleshooting methods, I've been through it over and over:
Revolutionary Hanging on "Method 3"
1. Make sure you have installed all the drivers from above.
2. Please Make Sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled and Droid Explorer uninstalled.
3. Install These Drivers HERE:
4. Basically anything and everything that will allow your phone or other phones to automatically connect or sync to your computer has to be uninstalled
5. Try another Computer or Factory Reset your device as a last resort.
I've tried 3 different computers (I have no access to anyone who has a Linux computer) I've factory resetted my phone twice + my SD card. I really don't know what else to do
I've tried it in Charge Mode, and HTC sync mode as well.
Can anyone help me? :S
you have to do it in charge mode, make sure fast boot is off, and here is the tricky part, ANY app that could sync with the fone, needs to be uninstalled.
for me Zune kept messing with the install cuz it kept trying to sync...
Also, make sure your HBOOT is compatible with the version of revo you are using
so try this:
1) uninstall itunes (and other apple device software), zune, and any htc software (plus the stock drivers)
2) reboot
3) clean the registry (regclean or something similar)
4) reboot
5) reinstall stock drivers then plug in the phone (charge only) and let the pc detect the hardware.
6) unplug the fone and reboot the pc
7) NOW try to S-OFF, should work, this is the process i had to take
Thanks, i tried everything you told me and it still won't work. I'm running out of ideas. Isn't there another method I could go through so I can just flash a custom rom. Lol...
if its unbranded, you can try the HTC method, but im not a fan of their approach to it...revo is much more user friendly in the long run...
also have you tried disconnecting all usb devices other than the keyboard, mouse and phone? also try doing a battery pull and leave it out for 10-15 seconds, and give it another shot
also, what ver of revo u using? the latest? and whats your hboot?
EDIT nm, saw your hboot etc in your first post long night at work
also, this may be a super stab in the dark, try another cable if you have one, just try to eliminate any possible issue
This exactly what I had with my Win7 tappy lappy. Its the "sucky usb stack".
Then I used a win xp 32 bit machine no problems.

yeah, apparently win7 is giving different users this problem, i used WinXP SP2 32bit with no issues
Yup. Definitely related to Win7 64 bit version for me. Although the user didn't report what version they were using.
It's also worth remembering that all USB ports aren't all the same.
I have to use the ports on the front of this particular 32 bit XP workstation for some operations and the ports on the back for other. Magldr for my HD2 never works on the front.....
Like Rev say in their FAQ... there's something about the USB stack on windows that sucks. Not surprising really when we're talking about interop between such dissimilar operating systems (Android vs MS Win). Its gonna be a headache sometimes.
I'm on Win 7 32 bit, when I tested Revolutionary my device wasn't detected at all.
Rebooted many times, installed drivers and did lots of things and still nothing.
I changed USB port, and it worked xD
Try different USB ports and another USB Cable in-case
Gd luck
Edit: Just found out that you tried 3 different computers... Sorry then, if I come up with anything I'll tell you
Edit 2: Can't he try it on Safe Mode? Maybe it would help?
safe mose wont work, the usb stack works even less at that point :/ go windows!
worst case scenario, get a liveCD of ubuntu and boot it from BIOS, thats the easiest alternative to trying on windows

I'm having the exact same problem as with the poster of this thread. I've tried a fresh install of xp sp3 via vmware on my macbook pro. I've also installed Ubuntu but can't even get the revolutionary.exe file to open. Linux is too foreign for me, can anyone help me with that?
I had to use HTC sync mode in order for it to work on Windows 7 64 bit.

i also had this problem when i wanted to set my sensa s-off. i run the tool several times and i always got this error message. So then i plugged of the phone, plugged it on again and then the tool says my phone is already s-off.
i boot the phone into bootloader and yes, the phone was s-off, on top is the revolutionary text and the bootloader version is 1.17.1111

Anyway to root without a PC? I know from the 24 hours of Web Searching and asking as many people that know anything about a computer have shown that its faulty hardware...

recently i got the ota update (2.20) and after quite a bit of research decided to let it update.
even after the update the usb feature worked, and now it doesnot work at all it only chages i have tried
holding the power button for 10 secs with phone connected to the lap,desktop, (when i did this the first time it the chhosing menu that appears on the phone showed up but the pc didnt recognise the phone)
tried different wires
checked coonect to pc settings ( set to always ask, disk drive)

tried factory resets
unab;e to do hard reset for some reason (android logo doesnt show up) only the three lights keep blinking and go off
the phone is fully stock and has never been rooted or flashed
all advice is much apreciated!

Hello,
I was reading a thread on someone who had the exact same issue, but no solution was ever posted.
Here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458066
Background - this is a friends HTC Inspire, no rooting or anything was attempted, factory untouched phone bought new from AT&T.
Turns on, eventually goes to a 2 green arrows in a circle around a phone and then to a red triangle with red exclamation point over a black phone. I can hold the volume up and power to reset or wipe cache, neither does anything. Comes back to the same screen. says:

I tried formatting the sd card and using recovery and stock rom to load, nothing worked, as if not recognized. The sd card had data on it(which was accessible), which I transfered to the computer before formatting.
Any ideas? I have never used an android device but I've been reading through this forum and others for hours now... phone is outside of warranty now too, so that's no longer an option. Thanks in advance.

It failed during the update to the current rom version or was reset/lost power during update. Use a pc to download the most recent ruu update for the inspire from HTC. Then download and install htc sync on pc. Place phone into fastboot mode with sd card inserted and then plug into pc. Run ruu from pc. Data will be lost but phone will be usable.

So Gizmoe, I am in the same boat as original poster. I downloaded the correct ruu from HTC , but PC won't recognize phone. Point of clarification
When you say "place phone into fast boot mode" does that mean just connect to PC at that point or do I shut phone down and then connect. I've been going bonkers since ATT pushed software update and bricked the phone.
Thanks for any advice.

It means with phone powered off hold down volume up and press power. Continue to hold volume until you see the hboot screen. Then select fastboot ( vol + - to make choice power to select). Then plug into pc. You should see the words fastboot usb on phone.

Ok, we'll I got it into fast boot USB mode, plugged in USB to PC, ran exe ruu file (which takes forever btw) and then got connection error. Ruu application then exits. Must be something hosed up in the phone with drivers. Bummer
I just checked Windows devices and it is showing as a "Device failed enumeration" error. Trying to troubleshoot that but have my doubts right now. I did notice that when I connected it earlier today PC saw it as G drive for a split second and then it dropped.

Do you have HTC sync installed and running?
Hi Gizmoe. Well I have HTC Sync but I didn't think I needed to have that running. I just ran the ruu exe file, but got connection error. I just tried HTC Sync with phone in fastboot usb mode but HTC Sync can't see it. Version of HTC Sync is 3.3.63. The other thing I noticed is that if phone is off and plugged into PC it is recognized as a removable device with a G: drive letter in device manager, but doesn't show up in file explorer and running exe or HTC Sync still can't see it.
If it's connected when it's in fastboot usb mode then windows says "last device connected malfunctioned " and PC doesn't see it.
I'm in this catch 22. Tried to do recovery process to install a ruu off sdcard which errors out, and can't install ruu from pc since phone usb connection not recognized.

UPDATE: I decided to just try the recovery method again while the phone was plugged into USB cable just to charge it. Well it downloaded the latest HTC version of the ROM and it installed....YEAH, BUT phone thinks it's a Desire , not an Inspire and the IMEI MMEI etc. info is missing. No connectivity to mobile network. And I don't have keyboard function either. Sooo, I think I will try another ruu and see if that works starting from scratch. I guess I'm still missing some files or steps in this process. I used to be in the PC business and thought they could be convoluted, but cellphones take the cake.

Yes they do. Just an fyi the desire and inspire are exactly the same device and HTC left the inspire name out of the build prop. It will say it's a desire HD, so that's normal. The rest isn't though. Yeah I would try the ruu again. Just make sure HTC sync is installed and running. You can run it from the phones os too.

Gizmoe, thought I'd give you the latest update: I was able to finally get the PC (Win8) to recognize the phone by installing HTC Sync 3.3.63, installing Win7 64bit drivers.
Then I downloaded RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_Cingular_US_3.20.502.63_Radio_12.69c.60.29U_26.09.13.17_M_release_335423_signed from HTC site. This is an exec file.
Got phone into USB debugging mode, fastboot off , charge only, and ran the above RUU. Seemed to be working as it asked if I wanted to update etc. and warned about losing data. Said ok and RUU exec then popped up status window saying "Waiting for bootloader......................"
This ran for a few minutes and then Windows popped up message saying last USB device connected failed. Then RUU exec finally popped up and said Connection Error 171. No choice but to exit program. This has happened twice. Very annoying. Took forever to get PC to recognize phone and now I'm still stuck with a brick thanks to ATT.
Any thoughts ?

Ahh yes windows 8 is a ***** with android devices and fastboot drivers. I would recommend trying it on a machine with windows 7. Also are you s off. If so you can try PD98IMG.

Yes, apparently there are a lot of issues with Win8 and android. I can try it on a machine with 7 or even XP. Unfortunately I'm S-ON so no go on PD98IMG. I'll let you know what happens when I try it on the other Windows machines.
Thanks

UPDATE:
SUCCESS !! :good: Well it only took a boatload of patience and a 7 yr. old laptop running XP to get the phone re-imaged. Process was sloooow (about 30 minutes) but all drivers loaded and the stock ROM from HTC installed fine. Phone is now back to operational. Turns out I didn't lose contacts since they were apparently backed up in Google account. (YEAH) Now I just have to manually install 4 more small security patches from HTC. Their website isn't too clear as to how to do this but I'll muddle thru it.
Thanks Gizmoe for your help and suggestions. You are right I would definitely recommend that anyone trying to root, recover or re-image from scratch an Android from a PC to avoid Win8 at this time and stick with Win7 or XP.
Help me please!

A PD98IMG is a way to install various things but requires an s off device. It is not a method to acheive s off. What exactly is the problem you are having? Are you not able to boot your device? If you are still stock, run the current RUU from HTC through fastboot as explained in previous posts in this thread.
HTC bootloader problem
Gizmoe, I am joining this group, I have the same problem, followed all steps. my problem is that RUU during the process sends msg to phone to reboot and start Bootloader my phone reboots and stays with white screen / green HTC logo (freezes?) RUU after waiting for Bootloader returns error 171 connection problem. My guess is that bootloader is not starting and RUU times out and thinks that it is connection problem.
Uninstalled sync and reinstalled latest version, deleted and re downloaded latest RUU. System recognizes phone ( device manager shows HTC). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yeah there seems to be a communication issue. Try putting phone into fastboot. Make sure phone reads fastboot usb. Then run RUU. There may be programs in pc as well blocking it. See if you can send fadtboot commands if the aforementioned method doesn't work. If that's how you already tried running it then run it from booted phone.
