Surprisingly my iMac needs SOMETHING. Normally what you say is absolutely true, but...
My Captivate and Skyrocket both have USB ADB connection issues on the Mac. I have a Droid2 and it works fine, but connecting the Captivate gives me a LOGCAT of about 1 page, then it disconnects. The Skyrocket NEVER connects.
Tried it on another identical iMac and SAME RESULTS so it's a hardware / Apple configuration issue. Go figure!
I'm searching the forums for some additional information but so far no luck!
iMac 27-inch, Mid 2011 OSX Lion 10.7.2

So I have been looking around and Im seeing that you will need the ADB set up and I saw this http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ and saw this for user that are on windows 7 http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/
Wondering if anyone did this yet for there phone and that they have win7? was there any issues or anything?
Hmm.. I already had SDK9 installed. I installed HTC Sync, connected my phone, Win7 Pro x86 installed the drivers properly, it was now showing as an "Android Device" in Device Manager, and I was able to verify I had ADB access. I didn't have to do anything special

So, i bricked my phone trying to update recovery. No power, nothing. Except, when i connect the device Windows recognizes as qhsusb_dload device. I found the drivers and can get Odin to recognize it, but i get stuck at setup connection when i try to flash. Does anybody have any ideas on what to do next? It's there a different tool i need?
I am in Linux running xp in a vm if that make a difference... oh, Linux doesn't seem to recognize the device...

Trying to flash just the stock ICS recovery? I didn't even know you could do that without flashing the stock ICS ROM as well. Assuming you actually can and that's not what bricked you, I'd love to keep that piece of information in my back pocket for future applications.

Okay, I tried the HTC Driver files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1604677
and all I get is an error saying that these files do not work for Windows 8. I also tried HTC Sync and my computer will still not recognize my device in fastboot mode. I ran out of options.
Can anyone help? Fastboot drivers for Windows 8. Thanks!
Never mind I guess?
It turns out that none of the HTC drivers work with my USB 3.0 drivers on Windows 8. I did a little test and noticed it DOES work with traditional USB 2.0 drivers. Very odd. Never the less, there is no documentation on the internet about issues with Windows 8 and USB 3.0 and HTC Drivers; well, now, there is...
So were you able to solve the problem and if so how, thanks!

Be sensible and go back to windows 7
This problem is only going to get worse... Almost all new computers are shipping with Windows 8 and more likely than not, they will stop shipping additional USB 2 ports and only ship with USB3 ports like mine...
Then what?

Ok, I'd been on the Sense 5 Rom and Elemental 6.7 for a while. Today I noticed that my phone wasn't going to sleep and was normally clocked around 1.0 Ghz no matter what it was doing. I tried changing the settings with No-frills cpu control but it didnt work. Long story short: I rebooted into recovery and reflashed the kernel to see if it would fix the problem. I used the stock elemental x settings (no overclock or undervoltage). The kernel flashed, I pressed reboot and the phone went dark... It wont cut on, holding the power button does nothing and plugging it into the computer gets me the qhsusb_dload message that I've read isnt a good thing to have. However most people who had this problem seem to have gotten it from RUU while S-On, my phone was S-Off so I'm wondering does that help my chances any, and is there anything I can do to restore my phone?
Try the unbrick evita thread. You'll need to run linux by live usb or live CD if you don't run linux. A virtual machine could work too.
If you can make it past step 3 and the partitions are intact, you can restore your phone.

There should be a bunch of partitions Like in the picture in the unbrick thread if you only have 3 or 4 or 5 then it not recoverable.

Alright guys. Seems like I'm fully bricked. Another guy on here had the same issue and said he sent it to HTC and they covered it so I called and am gonna send it in as well. *Fingers crossed* If it doesnt work then I'll probably just save up and upgrade to the one.
I know I dont post a lot here, but I do a lot of reading and you all have been super helpful. Thanks for the hard work you all put into this.

If you are in QHSUSB-DLMODE after trying to install RUU, OTA, or a custom kernel, you are pretty much done, aside from JTAG or sending it to HTC. I don't believe anybody has unbricked from any of these conditions.

You could try for years and will not recover. You require specially signed files from HTC to recover from that.
You are more than welcome to try the unbrick evita thread but if your patitions don't enumerate (step 3) there Is no way to recover without signed files from HTC. Other than jtagg ofcourse.

I have the same problem with any generic cables. Only the OEM cables seem to work for anything other than charging - I've used both old blackberry and samsung cables.
