[Q] Lost USB/ADB connection after ROM change - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I rooted my HTC One X 3 days ago and installed ClockworkMod recovery.
I then used CWM to backup the stock ROM which I moved (not copied, damn it!) onto my desktop via USB. I also made an online backup with "Backup Pro".
Then I downloaded and installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM using ADB.EXE and flashed the associated boot.img. It worked ok but crashed and rebooted the phone every hour or so, constantly. After half a day I gave up on that and looked around for something else. I made a ROM backup with CWM and then downloaded Viper Venom on the PC and copied the zip file and boot.img onto the phone. I loaded the ROM and boot.img, using adb.exe - same as before.
After rebooting into Viper Venom the HTC splash-screen appeared and a groovy animated robotic snake moved across the screen for 3 seconds before locking up the phone and rebooting. Now it was in an endless loop rebooting every 20 seconds or so.
So I restored the Cyanogenmod rom but forgot to restore the boot.img file, and rebooted. This time once the OS loaded and I unlocked the screen this error popup appeared: "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped". Once I dismiss the popup it re-appears 0.5 second later, and repeats endlessly.
Then I remembered I didn't flash the boot.img so I rebooted into Recovery again but then suddenly I lost computer connection via the USB cable. Now, no matter what I try "adb devices" just won't find the phone. In Windows Device Manager the phone appears as "My HTC" under "Android USB Devices". An unknown icon also appears under "Other Devices" called "Android Phone".
Many months ago I installed the HTC windows drivers and have been connecting to the phone on countless occasions so I don't believe it's a PC driver issue but something in the last boot.img or ROM on the phone that has corrupted the phone.
I have googled non-stop for the past 2 days throughout XDA and other sites and the solutions offered to anybody having issues with rooted ROMs is to use ADB via USB or TCP/IP and do this and that. My problem is that nothing will talk to the phone over cable or wifi, so my hands are tied to make any changes.
Does anyone have any ideas what I can try to re-enable the USB connection? I've tried 2 newish micro-USB cables in all of my Windows7 64-bit USB ports (I heard USB 3.0 ports can cause problems so tried the 2.0 ports), and I've repeated everything on a new Windows7 build 32-bit desktop but everything displays the same in the Device Manager and ADB never connects.
I have a dual-boot Ubuntu desktop I haven't tried yet. Is it possible that would have more luck?
Any ideas anyone.............?

Try installing twrp recovery. Cwm does not have official support for our phone and causes issues

Try reinstalling your HTC drivers.

Fixed!

Thanks for both of your suggestions. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the HTC drivers countless times but the device can never be seen. Re. trying TWRP, well without USB access and a phone I can't use, loading anything else is impossible.
HOWEVER! I stumbled on some software called PDANet last night and installed that on my laptop. Immediately ADB was able to see my phone again (MAJOR YAY!!!). I rebooted into Fastboot USB and low and behold, fastboot could now see the phone too! I was back in business and ran fastboot flash boot boot.img to install the Cyanogen boot image. Within 5 seconds it was done and after a reboot the relentless error message was gone for good!
I have since copied the stock rom files back onto the phone via usb (it now appears again in My Computer so I just drag and dropped them) and then ran a CWM Restore. Then flashed the boot.img and rebooted. My old stock rom appeared and everything is 100% as I left it.
I have learned so much about root/rom/recovery over these last 4 nights trying to recover the phone so it's not wasted, although I'm sure I cut a few days off my life worrying whether the "brick" would ever go again
This morning I installed CleanROM from ScottsRoms as I like many of the HTC apps, but I just want better battery life. For some reason it seems I have got a completely stock rom now which is weird but I've asked for advice on the Scotts Rom forum.
Does anybody have advice regarding another suitable rom that has better battery life but still runs some of the HTC stuff like these apps: Email, Car Dock, Messages? I also love the HTC One X keyboard - nothing else I've tried comes close to it, so ideally a rom that retains that would be a major plus.
I tried Viper/Venom 3 nights ago which is when all this went crazy. It was stuck in an endless loop which no amount of clearing cache/data/resets/fix permissions could fix so I'm reluctant to try that again.
Many thanks for any advice!

Make sure your dev settings are turned on and make sure usb debugging is turned on
And for the Rom recommendation you just have to try yourself per the rules we cannot say due to equal competition
Buut if your looking for battery life cough* bulletproof kernel *cough

Thanks for the tips Kole. It's all good now. As for the ROM question, I didn't realise recommendations weren't allowed, whoops
I did coincidentally stumble upon a kernel called bulletproof after reading your post , and chose the fastboot flash boot method since my phone is S=OFF - as per their recommendation, but sadly the phone wouldn't boot after that. Not sure if I should have performed any other actions (cache deleting etc?) but I returned it back to the original boot.img and all is well again.
I've since restored a CyanogenMod 10.1 image and is working ok now. Days ago when I installed it, the phone would crash when it was locked. I think I have identified the culprit to be the "2X" battery saver app I installed on it. When that's not active it doesn't crash so I've uninstalled it now.
Would it be fair to assume I should get better battery life day to day with CyanogenMod than the stock HTC rom? Hope so.
thanks

you don't need to fastboot kernel after s-off. bulletproof kernel doesn't work with aosp roms only sense roms.

Whoops, I got it wrong. The phone is S-ON and I wrote S-OFF in above post. I followed the instruction in this thread on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38727496
INSTALLATION
1. Install zip from TWRP Recovery
2. Reboot!
S-OFF recommended for easy installation
hboot 1.14+ and S-ON:
The installer includes a method to flash the boot.img for S-ON devices using hboot 1.14 or higher;
however, some people still have difficulties. If it doesn't work:
1. extract boot.img from the zip, reboot to bootloader and do:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
2. If you had previously installed ElementalX or Beastmode, be sure to run the installer to get the correct wifi module.
First boot will take a while. Let it load all the way, then let it settle in for a few minutes, then reboot again.

I followed what's mentioned under this heading: hboot 1.14+ and S-ON since my phone spec. meets both criteria:

I think I applied it when I still had ScottsRoms CleanROM onboard. When you say it only works on sense roms, do you mean the stock HTC ROM or should it also work on a cleanROM which contains lots of sense stuff? Sorry for the newbie questions, I find it difficult to get answers online to the most basic of android/rom/root questions.
Thanks for your time guys!

this is the evita forum not the endeavoru forum.
what phone do you have? this is probably not your forum.

AT&T and Rogers both sell a model that they call the "One X" but is really a One XL (evita) just like Telstra and other carriers sell. Any One X not from AT&T or Rogers is an endeavoru
You need this forum instead

Oh I see. On this side of the world we don't have AT&T and I've never heard of Rogers. It must be a US thing only.
Oh well, discussion is over anyway, problem solved, thanks to all for your input.

WiFi error's after flashing HTC unlock bootloader

Boy oh boy, I had a really tough few days trying to flash a custom rom. I was pretty heavy into flashing roms from the G1 days until I got my sensation on the day it was released. I then took a long break. Well 2 days ago I decided to Unlock my Bootloader through the HTC website. Everything went well. I did notice the ******UNLOCKED****** in the bootloader I also noticed the S-ON(security was still on). I didn't think this mattered. Was I ever wrong. With that S-On you cannot flash new radio's. I have never been able to flash a PG58IMG.zip file from hboot/fastboot. I can however flash recovery's from fastboot using (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img).
Seems as if every single rom I tried needs the Security-OFF to work correctly. I was able to put clockwork mod 5.0 on my phone, and install super wipe, and several roms, the problem I ran into is I would get a error under the switch for wifi. Wifi would not work on any of the 5 roms I tried before this one. I was wanting to give up and go back to stock for several hours. I tried the RUU to bring me back to build 1.27 and build 1.29 both were unsuccessful. I was stuck at build 1.73.401.2 and no way possible to get back to stock. And picture this living in a area with tmobile that is still using the edge network(2 ****ing g) OMFG I was so mad trying to even boot a new rom without wifi is a nightmare, took me literally 20 minutes to download rom manager. Anyway's this rom was the last one I tried before busting my phone into pieces.
Rom's I tried:
1. Android Revolution 3.6.1, and 4.1 (3.6.1 booted but had no wifi)
2. RCMix 3.5 v04 (bootloop)
3. LeeDroid booted fine (no wifi)
4. I believe there was one other I tried. NO GO
5. Then I flashed this one late last night, and to my surprised it worked.
I was so happy I almost pissed myself.
Oh yeah I tried many irc channels, one was the revolutionary.io irc channel, I was able to successfully run the rev.io tool and it showed as a success however my S-was still ON. I talked to these guys for about 45 minutes looking for other ideas. They pretty much told me I was screwed and that it had never been tested after you unlocked through HTC. And it simply might never work.
Anyway I guess what I am getting at. For anyone else that might have to go through what I did.
1. How in the world can you get you phone back to complete stock?
2. Why is this happening?
3. Why is my wifi not working with any other rom? And everyone else's is?
4. How do I go about getting my S-OFF?
5. Does anyone know if you can RELOCK your bootloader through HTC so that I can turn the SECURITY-OFF and "then" unlock the bootloader.
I probably have more question's. I just wanted to see if I might be able to get a few answers from you fine people. Help me understand what in the world is going on and how many other people are dealing with what I am dealing with.

Personally i would just do the normal s-off method as it gives you a little more freedom compared to HTC unlocking method.
My wifi is dead too, but i have no way of fixing it at all, i've got a thread called "wifi is dead" in the q+a section of the sensation forum.
Let me know if you get yours working, i imagine that if you revert your phone back to stock again and then use the alpha rev method that you will have better luck.
1. You can Relock your bootloader using HTC site but this time u will see Relocked instead of Locked
2. No idea
3. Did you try resetting your router? Works for me. Also try flashing a different radio.
4. No idea
5. You can relock bootloader on HTC site but have no idea of you can unlock it with Revolutionary again.
Try write secureflag command, just search for.the correct one on xda. Also, try flashing your RUU and then s-offing via revo.

[Q] Very, very long boot time after successful root/CM7 install.

I didn't post this in the CM7 thread because I believe my problem was a glitch during rooting, not CM7 which seems to work fine.
I recently dropped my Insight 4G which had been rooted and was running the Revolution ROMs and cracked the screen. I purchased a replacement phone, which arrived with the Gingerbread ROM from AT&T.
I decided to try CM7 this time and followed the instruction on wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Ace to the letter on rooting, installing clockworkmod, and installing the CM7 roms. Everything worked perfectly with one exception.
Now the phone takes > 10 mins (closer to 20 actually) to boot every time it reboots. I have tried restoring a nandroid backup of the Revolution ROMS from my original phone and everything works fine, but reboot is still very, very long. Restored CM7 from nandroid backup and tried to install RUU file to restore the phone to AT&T, but the software times out due to the extremely long boot time. Everything seems fine on the phone except for the boot time and I don't know what to do next.
After reading a lot of posts it appears that the instructions I followed have a similar effect to using the outdated Ace Hack Kit here. (Wish I'd used the new one). I am well and truly "Jammed Up"
Anyone have a possible fix? I am happy to do whatever it takes... not worried about data.

What I would do is return to a full stock. Then run the hack kit. But that is just me as I have never donebit with the CM wiki instructions
This is a common issue with the latest batch of Inspires (post Aug, 2011 MFG). The hardware is different and not compatible with any hboot except the one that ships with the GB RUU. If you downgraded as per the CM wiki, then you necessarilly installed an older hboot and this is the root cause of your problem.
You can easily replace the hboot on an S-OFF Inspire once it finally does boot by simply writing the later hboot image to the hboot partition (partition 18). There's instructions here:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/495273/
You can jump into the IRC channel if you need some one-on-one help:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
Ok, after many hours of fiddling I finally got it back.
I used the hack kit to re-install the stock RUU using the alternate (hboot) method. It took a LONG time, but was successful. I then used the hack kit to re-root the phone and installed CM7 nightlies. The ace hack kit is a wonderful tool, and I thank the author for making it.

Hey Gene so what your saying is all Inspire batches post Aug, 2011 must be rooted using the current acehack kit only right?
And older methods of rooting will cause intermittent booting?
Crazy Food For Thought....

That is correct. The new AHK uses an HTC signed interim firmware patch put out for the DHD which has only a boot.img, radio.img and recovery.img. Fortunately, the radio and boot images are ones that are compatible with gfree and the S-OFF routines can be run without disturbing the rest of the firmware (hboot, system and data mainly), but unfortunately, the kernel is not compatible with the Inspire's graphics hardware so the process literally runs in the dark, and because of the GB changes, it must run in two stages involving both adb and fastboot. USB issues rampant among PCs (so many PC programs assume they are the only program you're ever going to run and so hijack the USB bus thinking you're never going to plug in any other device but theirs) so it is very important that both adb and fastboot drivers can run unimpeded. Occasionally a situation arises where adb runs OK, but fastboot fails and this leave the device in an intermediate state which is not in itself bad, but because there is a blank screen, users freak out and do everything but the right thing (usually involving a "wipe" from hboot) which really screws things up.

[Q] Desire S boot loop

Hi Some help would be appreciated.
I rooted my HTC Desire S about a year ago and have installed several ROMs since then without any problems. Today I tried to flash CyanogenMod. I had previously downloaded this ROM to my phone. I used ToolboxPro to install the ROM, including the recommended wipes. All seemed to go OK, but on rebooting the phone now gets stuck on the while T-mobile screen. As I have done this several time before I perhaps didn't pay enough attention to any messages, but I thought that the flashing was unproblematic.
I've installed ADB on my Windows 7 computer, but when I run 'devices', with the phone connected via USB, no devices are listed.
I've spent several hours searching through threads on XDA. That usually helps me fix any problems, but this time I'm stumped. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
ask questions here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2143855.
anyway, what recovery do you have?

[Q] [Help] getting my Inspire 4G back to stock

I had a ATT inspire 4G running on android 2.2
I rooted and installed CWS with easy ace root. worked perfectly
then following another guide I found, I tried to flash update-aospX-1.0.0-AR26-DesireHD-signed using recovery.
But my phone was stuck on the white HTC screen and didn't go anywhere. Trying to solve this issue I wiped everything with recovery and flashed this: GizRoot_v_2 (1) which I found on this forum as a rom made similar to the stock rom. this worked and now phone was good but the guide did say to change the radio.
I tried to update my radio via hboot with sd card, but it always got stuck on the installing part and never finished. After researching it the problem was that I am still S-ON and you cant change radios while S-on?
I have spent 4+ hours googling and researching I have about 12 tabs open with different guides. I am very frustrated at this point
I Have a inspire 4g phone that works but the radio doesn't work. 1st it would connect to the movil network of the carrier but the wifi did work. I changed the simcard to another provider and it did work calls were made and internet data worked. but now wifi doesn't work!
I would like to have the phone back to factory setting and stock att rom. how can I do this, I used a RUU exe, but it always said error connecting to the phone. the RUU is RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed
or maybe I am doing it wrong?
help please
edit: I booted phone to fastrecovery usb and ran the RUU.exe again, this time it went all the way to wiping and sending then it said an unknown error occurred right after updating signature and sent me to error recovery step 0, followed prompts but nothing worked
Flash boot.img from fastboot. Read the Ace Think Tank in Desire HD General for details.
steps

MIUI on Inspire 4G
Hi,
I need something like that too.
I bought my phone from USA in 2011, Android 2,2, i think, and with MIUI on it, locked on AT&T and I use it in Europe.
I unlocked it here in Europe and everything was fine.
So, the phone started work slow and after 2 years of use it I didn't receive any system update. My husband bought one same model, no MIUI on it, but HTC Sense I think, AT&T locked, unlocked here, but he received the system update and worked fine.
Now, in my silly thinking, I started to look for update on Internet and I saw that the Android is already 4.2. and I have 2.2. And I said,man, that's why is not working so well.
So, I upgraded my phone to Android 4.2.2 JDQ39E - the most stupid thing I could do. Starting that day, my phone is freezing non-stop, it restarted itself while I am talking on the phone. The apps are not working well, are freezing often. I read on AT&T website that for my model, the last Android is not 4.2.2 at all, but it was too late.
I found out how to upgrade the MIUI and I did it. This is ok, but this MIUI it makes me cray. I don't like it at all.
I WANT TO GET RID OF MIUI AND PUT SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD OF IT. And put the normal Android system that my phone support it well.
HOW I CAN DO THAT?
Please help me with some advices before I will creat a new model: HTC Inspire 4G smashed.
Thank you so much.

Uh mate, It's best to go back to Stock Roms for that. And Everytime you guys go upgrading and degrading Roms, It's best to make a backup image with Nandroid.
Easiest way to go back to stock is find the proper RUU's for your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385016
Pick one of these, Download the RUU, Plug in your phone and Let the App do it's magic.
And take note, It's going back to the STOCK.
After that, Use the AAHK tool or search around the forums to unlock and S-Off.
Good luck.
Thank you!

Thank you so much. Before I will do what you said, I will read all the threads about AAHK and how to unlock. I need to be informed before to do it. It is a little hard for me to do all these steps, but I will try. If I will succeed, than I will reconvert my job :laugh:
Yeyyyy

Just uninstall whichever root app is present on the ROM (Superuser or SuperSU), voila, you're 100% stock.

thankx
thanks for your help but I guess I won't be able to installed ota anymore? though I don't think there be any coming to the phone anymore
Why do you think that? If the phone has an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery (which you'd need to flash a nand) you shouldn't take an OTA anyway. If you want to go completely back to stock you need to get s-off so you can run the last Telstra RUU (1.89 I think), lock your bootloader, and take every OTA to get back up to date.

Am grateful bro.
my mobile data wont work
Hi,
so after weeks and days of suffering and trying to install any rom on my HTC One XL only telestra works, even CM wont boot I get into boot looping...
So after I installed telestra my mobile data wont work, I tried on my own find out what is the problem, even I tried to downgrade my phone to froyo so I can install RUU and I couldn't downgrade because adb wont push file to my device one file go through and the other won't... It's says permission denied.
I am here asking for you help please I am so desperate, I am trying to do this all by own so I don't need to pay 20 euros to some services.
I am looking for how to fix this mobile data problem and why I am getting permission denied in adb push file, I was following this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1600904

Hang on...
Firstly, you tried to downgrade the phone to Froyo? This device has never had Froyo on it, the earliest version of Android that it came with was Ice Cream Sandwich. So what on earth did you try to flash to your device??
Secondly, the other thread that you link to isn't for this phone, it's for the HTC Droid Incredible.
Mate, it seems as if you've been attempting to flash firmwares and exploits from other devices onto this phone, it's a wonder you haven't bricked the thing! ROMs, kernels, radios, firmwares, exploits, etc, are only compatible for the device that they were developed for, they're not interchangeable. This is our device section:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-x-att
Do not, under any circumstances, wander outside of that section and its sub-forums for anything or it's only a matter of time before you have an expensive paperweight.
Now, what recovery do you have on the phone?
PS. You should edit that image asap, it shows your IMEI, that's something you should never post publicly.
Ty for help and your time first.
I edited photo in paint but you need to edit your post too because picture is still there.
My phone is HTC One XL, xda wont accept this when I enter my device.
Well it's a wonder I didn't throw my phone into the wall.
So everything was fine on this phone until battery started to dry out fast, it's started to lag and everything was slow, clean master, battery doctor didn't help, factory reset few times didn't help.
Then I tried to install CM with this instructions ( I can't link it but when you enter in Google how to install CM on HTC One XL it will pop out wiki ) but my phone wouldn't boot any CM for my phone known as "evita", it would stuck at boot looping.
I have access to recovery. bootloader, fastboot and everything so still it isn't a brick.
I have this recovery img TWRP 2.7.0.8. but if needed I can change it into ClockworkMod 6.0.4.8.
I don't have many experiences in rooting android but I learned some basic commands in cmd with fastboot and adb.

I've edited the image out of my post. Your phone probably boot looped after installing CM because you didn't flash the boot.img via fastboot afterwards, am I right? Because you're s-on and have firmware equal to or higher than 1.14 your phone can't flash the boot.img during a ROM flash in recovery, this means you need to do it manually with fastboot after flashing the ROM. I have detailed instructions in my guide thread (link in my signature).
You need to run an RUU which will take the device back to stock and hopefully clear up the issues you've been facing. In order to run an RUU you first need to get s-off (and SuperCID if you don't already have it). In order to get s-off you need to first flash the Kickdroid 5.0 ROM (Rumrunner s-off has the highest success rate on this ROM).
1. Flash Kickdroid (don't forget to flag the boot.img afterwards too).
2. Go to the Rumrunner site and get s-off.
3. Check your CID:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
3b. If it's anything other than 11111111 you need to change it:
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
4. You can now run whatever Evita RUU you want, and leave the device stock for a couple of days to see if your problems persist. What variant is the phone? At&t? Rogers? Telstra? Hong Kong?
Transmitted via Bacon
I did everything what it's says on rumrunner s-off page before I tried to install CM
well I would link to you what steps I was following but I am junior member so I can't, as I said write in google how to install cm on htc one xl and you will get wiki page and there will be steps which I followed.
How could I install then telestra if I didn't was s-off?
I am very tired now but I will answer to you some basic question you asked.
I am on vodafone variant or in my country (Croatia) it's vip, so when I get some sleep I need to install Kickdroid (well in the morning I guess I would figure out what flag the boot.img mean), and after Kickdroid I can install any RUU I want but need one for vodafone am I right? something like this? RUU_EVITA_UL_ICS_40_S_Vodafone_CH-DE_2.41.166.1_Radio_0.20os.32.09.10_2_10.113.32.28L_release_280222_signed
I found that on this page AndroidRUU, and when I bought my phone it was on German lang.
And if I manage to install Kickdroid and then RUU I will try to give a chance and see if it work normally but if not I can install again Kickdroid and have that rom? And I can install some kernel but for now I don't know what kernel is and I don't understand do I need to install kernel or not? Oh man ty for your time and explanation I need to take some time and to figure all of this and to install properly .
Forget about whatever you did or didn't do in the past, it didn't work and there's no point wondering why right now because I've laid out a plan for you to move forward. Install Kickdroid, get s-off with Rumrunner, and run an RUU. You don't necessarily have to run a Vodafone RUU, you can run any Evita RUU, but yes the one you mentioned is compatible. You absolutely must get s-off before running any RUU though or you will brick the phone. Follow the steps I mentioned before exactly and you should be ok.
Just realised I missed some of your questions. If you want use Kickdroid as your ROM you definitely can, it's a very good ROM. It's a bit hard to describe what a kernel is briefly, but put simply it's a separate level of firmware that controls how the software or OS (and you) interacts with with hardware. You don't need to flash a kernel, every ROM zip contains a kernel already, otherwise the phone wouldn't operate, it wouldn't even boot up. There are custom kernels available that allow a bit of extra tweaking, like overclocking (or underclocking) the CPU, undervolting, sound tweaks, and various other much more complicated tweaks.

Language
Hello how to add the Russian language in the system??? Maybe they cut. If there is a rom with a full range of languages and the last update, I need a rom without mods!
