[Q] First time flasher!! - HTC Sensation

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere (have searched the forum but can't find it previously). Am a newbie to rooting and don't want to brick my device as I'm still mid-contract.
Have finally decided to S-OFF and Root my phone using revolutionary, CWM recovery and su-2.3.6.3 before flashing CyanogenMod 9. I know I have to set my Fastboot to off, and switch USB debugging on. My question is this:
When I connect my phone via USB to my laptop, I get the choices of charge only, disk drive and HTC Sync. Which should I select? Some websites/forums say select HTC Sync (and ignore any subsequent warning message of not being able to find it), other websites don't make any mention of which one to choose.
Also, is it correct that I should uninstall HTC Sync from my laptop? Again, this is something that some websites mention, but not others.
All help massively appreciated, thanks in advance

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.

Connecting via USB, cannot find device

Hello, yes this is my first post. Glad to finally be on here.
But, unfortunately it starts off with a problem.
I have the Android Revolution HD XE 7.2 ROM installed on my phone, completely rooted S-OFFed and so on.
My problem is that now I'm starting to get into developing android apps, and trying to get my computer to detect the phone has been very tricky indeed. I'm using Eclipse with the SDK installed, I've developed on other phones, I was using a Samsung one the other day so I know everything is working.
I attempted to install HTC sync which I believe is what I need to make the USB connection work, all worked fine. Only when I use "adb devices" nothing is detected.
So I'm guessing this is either down to the fact the phone is all custom and it doesn't exist to HTC sync, or because I'm running Windows 8.1 and something has screwed up down the line. In device manager my phone is listed as 'Android Device' with a yellow triangle because it can't find any driver automatically, but I'm still able to transfer files to the SD card via usb and everything works, just development doesn't (and yes, debugging mode is active).
Help appreciated, and please treat me as the newcomer I appear to be, use small words
Install HTC drivers
I can't post the link because I am not in my pc right now

Here is the link of the drivers:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396
You can choose the driver that meet your requirement.
I have already attempted that before actually going ahead and installing the full HTC Sync. I'm beginning to believe the problem must lie somewhere else because the drivers are there and work fine, my phone connects just fine but it's not visible to adb or anything.
EDIT: I managed to fix it by using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061435
whether it is the best solution I don't know because it's pretty old, however my phone now gets found by adb.
Thanks for the help guys!

Phone wont connect

Hi guys
Desire S.
Unrooted, no custom recovery, basically everything default.
HBoot 2.00.0002
.
To root, i need the 0.98 version.
Using HTCdev.com, i tried to unlock, but at step 5, where i should type fastboot oem get_identifier_token, the phone doesnt come up at all, and cmd just continues to wait for device.
Before you ask, I HAVE (i hope) followed all steps.
This includes updating drivers manually, using htc sync (latest and older versions), swapping usb port and cable, reunzipping adb and fastboot material from other sources, and reading for a decent number of hours throughout xda and other external forums and guides.
But there is still no success.
Anyone help please? I don't just want fast, "get it working for me" type answers, but actually want to know why it refuses to greet me!
Cheers
BTW, i'm on a windows 8.1 laptop, and have updated the relevant drivers, still to no avail.

your phone must be in FASTBOOT bootloader mode..not in the HOME of your ROM..
if you don't wan to turn off your phone first and pressing volume down + power to go to bootloader..then you can using a adb command on cmd while your phone is still in the HOME of your ROM.. type "adb reboot bootloader" then select "FASTBOOT" now you can type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
don't forget to disabled Fast boot mode and enable USB Debuging first from the system settings and just connect your phone to pc as charge mode..
hope this help..
Sorry mate. Tried that before your post though.
However the person for whom I was doing this no longer needs it doing, and plans for a newer device, so I no longer have this device available. Thus, i thanked you, since it was a cue for me to mention that.
Cheers.
This model of HTC is died

[Q] Recovering photos from HTC One X in bootloop

Hey everyone. I couldn't find an answer to this that I could follow and that worked for me as I'm not very technically inclined.
My HTC One X recently died after having a low battery and now whenever I try to turn it on (even when it is fully charged), it gets to the lock screen, but I can only access everything for about 5 seconds before it restarts again. I know I have USB debugging enabled, and I can get to the screen that shows up when I hold down the power button and the volume-down button.
What I want to do, before doing a factory reset and praying that ends the bootloop, is recover my photos which I stupidly did not back up anywhere. I can connect my phone to my laptop, which runs on Windows 8, but it is not recognized as it normally would be (ie: I can't access files directly). I've gotten to the point where I can see "FASTBOOT USB" on my phone when it is connected and I've restarted my PC so that it is able to identify it in the Device Manager. I have also gone through the steps of downloading a universal naked driver and choosing the driver under the Device Manager, so when I use a command prompt my phone shows up in fastboot devices. (I used minimal fastboot and ADB)
But what can I do now? I have never tampered with my phone, so it is locked or unrooted. I'd like to keep it that way if possible, but I'm having a hard time understanding how I can retrieve my photos. Should I use ADB commands, and if so, how do I get to the point where my PC recognizes my phone under ADB devices? Or is there a better way? I'm also not very familiar with custom roms, TWRP, CWM, etc.
I'd appreciate a brief walk-through if possible as, like I said, I don't normally do this sort of thing. Thank you!

Try Power the Device Up in Safe Mode - HTC One®
Do you know the model number? Is it the AT&T or Rogers? s720e, G23, 720, 325...

I tried going into safe mode and nothing changed! It didn't break the bootloop, so I guess it isn't an app that's causing the problem. It's with Rogers, but I don't know the model number... I got it in North America if that helps.

It's likely a s720e then, but
I will request that this thread be moved to AT&T One X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Where you should be able to find out for sure.
Next step is likely flashing a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM then you could, mount sd card/storage and copy photos.

Question Rog Phone 5 Brick

Hello to all,
I apologize in advance for this message.
I mistakenly bricked my phone,
It was running WW-18.0840.2201.226 (Android 11).
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to use it again, but I'm sure I'll be able to use it again in the future.
The recovery mode does not work anymore. It remains stuck on the logo.
Concerning the device manager :
In Bootloader, nothing is detected
When I test the recovery mode, it detects 'Android Composite ADB interface'.
However, the ADB commands do not work (Unauthaurized)
This is a call for help, I don't know which tutorial to look at to help me.
Do I need to get a Deep Flash Cable to restore the phone?
Excuse my English, I'm French ^^'
Hi, I'm not sure, but I think you will have to delete this POST... It doesn't respect the forum rules... That said, you can follow this link for your problem. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...to-unlock-bootloader-to-modify-country-cn-to- ww.4353865/não lido
Hi Rico,
If I have to delete the post I will do it, it's not a problem.
Do you think I can put this post in the topic you gave me?
I had come across it in my research but I didn't know if it needed a Deep Flash Cable
I didn't know that my problem was similar to the one in the post because I don't have a 9008 mode

There is nothing wrong with your post at all.
Do you have access to see and send Fastboot commands to the phone when on the bootloader screen? You need to get that right first and get your driver on your PC sorted. Forget ADB, that's not going to help you here.
Once you have sorted the above, doing a RAW flash following one of the guides you can find on this form with a rom version that matches your device should get you back on track.
At this stage you shouldn't need EDL or a deep flash cable before exploring the above option.
Good luck.
Hello Andrologic,
Thanks for your reply
I only have access to the Bootloader with 'Start / Restart Bootloader / Recovery Mode / Power Off'.
I bought a Deep Cable, this one detects me when I connect it to the pc, previously my other cables did not want it
So I can indeed use the Fastboot commands whereas before I couldn't

Thank you very much Andrologic!
The phone works like magic again, I can't believe it T_T
When I should do the updates, should I reflash the phone?
It doesn't offer me any new ones even though I'm on Android 11

Nice. No, I would suggest updating the conventional way, i.e download ROM for ASUS and let the device pick it up and flash it. If you have TWRP installed, you can flash from there too, but there is no need for that unless the first method is not working
