Running Android Revolution 5.2.3.
Problem:
I connect my inspire 4G to my PC via USB, and the computer (windows 7) doesn't recognize it. Nothing in the device manager. The phone's LED does light up upon connection to the PC, and it does charge. PC stopped recognizing the phone within the past 48 hours.
What I have done to the phone recently:
I did a vision_wipe_efs on the phone using the "safe" method to attempt to fix the GPS problems I was having. Note that I have used this method many times before with no ill effects. The phone might have already had the problem prior to wiping GPS data.
Solutions tried:
Tried two different micro USB cables.
Tried two different computers.
Installed the latest CM7 nightly (147), problem still persists.
Any ideas?
i also tried booting the phone into recovery and mounting usb storage. didn't work.
just installed the stock ATT RUU by extracting the zip from the exe, renaming it PD98IMG, and booting the phone into bootloader. Still doesnt work.
On your computer,download the drivers from the stickies then connect

drivers are already installed--but you dont need the drivers to access the mass storage mode of the phone. you only need them for HTC sync and USB tethering
You never stated what you was needing to connect for

whoops. fair enough
common problem for the inspire.
try these 2 things
1. Pull the SD card out of the phone and then reinsert it. Its what got my buddies phone connecting to his comp again.
2. If 1 doesnt work, if you have java installed, uninstall it and then reboot your comp and get rid of Sync off your computer if you have it(leaving the drivers of course). Reboot one more time and then connect your device. it's what worked for me.
edit: i know 2 seems kinda weird (at least imo), but if i install java on my computer(which ive done after to test if my theory was right), my phone wont connect to my computer anymore. so, i go java-less.
May be a dumb question, but what option do you have selected under Settings > Connect to PC > Default Connection Type ? If it's set to a default of Charge Only, and you told it not to ask you again, that could be the root of the problem.
You seem to know what you're doing and you seem to be screwed. Try uninstall sync and all HTC drivers then uninstall anything that says Java like the Guy said above. Then reinstall jre and plug your phone in and let windows install thd drivers. You also might want to run diagnostics and try a different port. The SD card has nothing to do with it because it wont charge.
Your last resort should be unrooting it and reverting to stock ROM, kernel, radio and RIL. Make sure there is no trace of a root. Then you should do a warrenty claim because your inspire seems defective.

Nah it's set to ask on connection. Also tried setting it to USB mass storage, and no dice.

Uninstalled sync, java, all htc drivers and still nothing. Looks like i'll be going back to stock and S-ON, and returning it to HTC!
I just bought an Atrix since I kind of knew I would have to warranty the inspire. The screen is a lot brighter, the battery life isn't going to suck balls (1830mah vs 1250mah on the inspire!), the quality of the speaker is miles better than the inspire, and GPS got a lock in downtown within a few seconds (where my inspire 4g would never see more than 2 or 3 satellites!).
I'll just get a refurb inspire sell it, and keep the Atrix.
Thanks for the help guys.

How can you unroot it with pc not recognizing?
Thanks
by flashing the stock RUU. When you start the RUU tool just search your comp for a file called rom.zip. Rename it to PD98IMG.zip, and start your inspire in bootloader mode. It will install from there.
Also, does anyone know how to restore S-ON without going through my PC?
You can type this in terminal emulator
cd /data/local
./gfree -s on
sync
This is from mudknot sticky.

I've had this problem for a long time but doesn't happen anymore after buying a new usb cable.
Idk if it was the cable. I re-rooted my phone as well.

I have two cables that both used to work with my inspire, and continue to work with my Atrix...so i'm pretty certain it isn't the cables.

I cannot follow mudknot's sticky as it requires the phone to be plugged into the PC.
(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.

listen to this, his situation was WAYYYYY worst than yours, and he got his fone working perfectly and S-OFF'd
By flashing, I assume you do mean using the revolutionary program? I will try this process a little later and will post results. Thank you
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

I have tried everything and I can not get my device to show up in ADB for the life of me. I have verified my supercid thru adb, but can't get my device to show up. I've installed htc sync, updated drivers, even downloaded the tool multiple times. I thought I read back when I rooted that i needed to uninstall htc sync, is this correct?

TRy ending task on htc sync, a different usb port, and different usb cable, and make sure its not usb3.0.
I'm pulling what's left of my hair out over this, too. I've tried uninstalling all drivers and HTC software, and not letting Windows install the default drivers. I've changed USB ports. I've tried reinstall HTC sync only, but the phone still doesn't show up in adb. Device is recognized both booted into the ROM and in recovery/bootloader, just not by adb.

Its funny you having these problems... I usually have no trouble with adb, however last night I tried to s-off my cousins hox... Fastboot works fine, when I get to the adb push it won't recognize in adb. So I tried mine, won't recognize... Rebooted both phones and my computer. No go..
So I tried my wife's computer... No go...

I have this problem too when I am trying to get adb devices with windows 8 64bit. My devices always appears offline. But when I trying with windows 7 32bit, viola.. its work! Maybe there is something wrong with 64bit platform (or just mine?)

Are you guys trying adb commands? Or just stopping when "adb devices" returns nothing? Because I noticed this when I upgraded everything on my phone this past weekend.
I was able to ruu, push files, etc., but "adb devices" returned nothing. I was on 64-bit Win7 with USB 3.0.
I've tried windows XP and windows 7... Tried shooting a bunch of adb commands with no success... "Device not found"
I've always had success with adb, as I use it quite often for the custom sense lockscreens

I had this problem a little while ago. Only a reinstall of windows helped:banghead:. During the meantime though I booted up a virtual machine and ran the commands through it.

That's an idea, a virtual machine.
I pulled an antique desktop out of the closet that ran on some ancient version of xp and solved that problem. I never got over "devices not found" on any other new computer with my hoxl or wifeys x+. I tried everything everyone will ever tell you.. Random assortment of usb cables, ports, installed HTC sync and HTC sync manager a trillion times, tried creating a file with my hexadecimal I'd number in them.. Even tried running the cmd or Adb as administrator.
In the words of jcase: windows sucks. Fix your environment.

Did you check Task Manager and kill all HTC and adb functions? HTC sync keeping stuff running even when you close it. That worked for me.
My phone wasn't coming up as "Android Phone" or "HTC" in the "Device Manager" on Windows 7. Would only show it as "G:/" under "Portable Devices" thus disabling me from installing the proper drivers.
[SOLVED]
I plugged my phone in, and uninstalled G:/ in device manager (Your letter may be different).
Then I went into "Disk Management" and found the removable drive G:/. Right click and go into which ever option was to change the letter. Go ahead and pick another letter (make sure it's different from any other drives you may have, I went with Z).
Unplugged my device, made sure debugging was on, and plugged it back in. Device Manager now shows my phone as "Android Phone" Success!

I got mine working last night, but I have to be honest that I have no idea exactly what it is that worked. Here's what I did:
Uninstall HTC Sync and ALL HTC stuff.
Toggle developer modes on and off a few times
Reinstall HTC Sync
Windows tries to install drivers, but I forced it to uninstall them.
Manually install the drivers included with HTC Sync
And... it works now. I'm not sure what was different this time around, but I won't complain.

I also noticed this when I tried to flash CleanROM 6 from Newt's JB. Neither Newt's nor CR6 (installed successfully without adb) were recognized on PCs and ports I had used to root my Evita. I think this has something to do with JB or the "debloated" versions.
When I connect my Evita, I no longer receive the charge/drive/tether toast notification. USB debugging is set in settings. Had to install "adbWireless" app to get adb to work properly, and of course that means that I have two devices connected via adb/fastboot if I reboot to recovery or bootloader. What a PITA, I will try on a USB 2.0 port to see if that has any more success.
****EDIT-RESOLVED****Like belyle, I had to force USB debugging off, and this took several attempts. Even with Developer Options turned off, USB debugging would turn itself on when the phone was plugged in to the computer via USB. Somehow this locked the phone from being recognized. Finally got USB debugging shut off, and manually turned it on again and adb/fastboot worked normally. I did not have to uninstall or reinstall anything. I am currently running CR6.
As I mentioned before, this is something that was set by default on a cooked ROM and think that is what is causing this issue.
I'm sorry for activating an old thread, but I've had the same issues and the fix for me was to use my USB 2.0 port instead of the USB 3.0 ports on my laptop. As soon as I plugged it into a USB 2.0 slot the phone booted right up without issue and could be seen through ADB, plugged it back into the USB 3.0 and "error: device not found" kept coming back. Moved back to the USB 2.0 slot and no issues whatsoever. Funny how USB 3.0 is supposed to be backwards compatible, but yet my phone doesn't work on it.

Its something to do with JB. I tried to uninstall, reinstall drivers/HTC Sync, different USB port (all 2.0 on my PC), all the usual stuff. None of that worked. The only thing that got it to work was reverting to an ICS nandroid. After that, adb recognized immediately. Did the s-off and went back to the JB nandroid. Again, adb doesn't work (although fastboot does).

I keep getting error device not found with adb tools on two different verizon m8's ?
I was using adb tools 1.0.31 and never had any problem until tonight and my one m8 I had obtained s-off on it a bit over a week ago with no problem at all. I tried to firewater s-off another m8 that belongs to a friend and his keeps getting error device not found and mine does the same thing. My computer has froze up 2 times in the last 2 days I"am on windows 7 I used system restore and went back 5 days no difference.
I even tried another version of adb tools, then I tried my other computer which it never freezes up and same deal on it with multiple versions of adb tools. I have updated all drivers and done all that rebooted over and over I have even removed java on both computers and installed new versions. Really pulling my hair out on this. Even tried multiple usb ports on both computers.
I have also constantly been checking device manager and there are no conflicts on anything and all drivers keep showing that they are the newest driver.
I could see if it was doing it on just the one m8, but on mine also which it was working fine on it just days ago.
Anyone have any ideas ?

Yes I even tried unchecking it then powering off restarting and rechecking it, actually did that all a couple times to rule it out.
Do you see the Android ADB interface in device manager, or are there any yellow exclamation marks there?
For ADB to work you need:
- ADB access on in Developer Settings (USB Debugging)
- The ADB application
- Drivers for your Windows PC for the ADB device to be recognized
You've stated you've done point 1, I don't doubt you have point 2, you need to work on point 3.
Note: The last possibility is you have some external program blocking your access. I've seen some draconian firewalls block USB.

If your talking about my htc it showed working fine and I tried to update the driver and it showed I have the newest driver available. I went through everything on device manager and everything was working fine, and no exclamation marks. Like I said it was working fine as I used it to firewater s-off an at&t m8 2 weeks ago and it worked fine for it. And I did the firewater on 2 other htc phones in the last 2 months. Also I have used the same adb tools for like the last year with no problems. Also I have not changed any programs, and I have used the same antivirus and firewall for the last 2 years so it should not be blocking it.
This is all why it has me stumped ?
It's not as bad as all that.
The next thing I'd do would be to uninstall and reinstall whatever method gave you the drivers. If you installed the HTC Sync software, uninstall and reinstall. If you used some other method, such as the Minimal ADB and Fastboot package, I'd uninstall and reinstall it.
I have to deal with drivers all the time at work. This sort of thing can happen. Windows makes this process more complicated than it is in Linux.

Yes tried multiple cables and multiple usb ports. With android system running they pick up the phone as a storage device also. It makes no sense. Going to try unistalling drivers and reinstalling as the other guy suggested.
