ive tried multiple times to fix this but it doesnt work. Last time i posted a thread here i said my phone was broken and i was not able to fix it because of the usb connection problem i had, so i talked to the company and they sent me a replacement but i still have the same usb connection problem, whenever i want to plug in the usb cable to my pc, the phone recognizes the connection but my pc doesn't. i talked to the company about this and they said ' Unfortunately, we don't have any information regarding this issue.", i do not know how to fix this. I've tried uninstalling the usb drivers and re installing them but nothing seems to work.
some of you suggested to try to take out the battery for 30secs open odin plug the usb in the phone hold vol up and down then slap the battery in while still holding keep holding it and if a com sign comes up in odin flash it even if screens blank, but it didn't work. i tried heimdell but it doesnt recognize my phone. if i cant use that, it means i cant root my phone and change the annoying tmobile boot animation. so pleaaaassee can you find a fix for this????, ohh by the way it didn't work when i put it in the download mode.
please
does anybody know how to fix it??? pleeeeeeeeeease
I'm assuming that you downloaded the 64 bit drivers? Try downloading the 32 bit ones. I read somewhere that it worked for some people.
or try installing kies and then plugging in the phone. go to install --> drivers in kies and let it install. then unplug the phone, restart the computer and try again
imusing the32 bit drivers
it didnt work, im going to have to buy another cablee to see if thats the problem,thanks for being so helpful jager555
Also, don't forget to try to hook up the phone to another computer.
ive tried this in 3 different computers
Are you trying to odin or just transfer files to sd?

If it's not the computer or the cable it's the phone. You've narrowed it down. Send it in for warranty?
The phone should work as mass storage with no drivers whatsoever. Pretty much any modern OS out right now will be able to recognize the phone with the drivers it come with and let you access the SD card of the phone, so yes, looks like the phone's the problem.
hmmmmm
i believe its the cable. Im going to try to get a new one and see if it works, cuz the phone i got right now its a replacement that they sent me from the company, so its new and i dont think its the phones problem.And yes im trying to odin.
Can you take format the sd card from ths phone (make sure to back up all the important stuff.) Then take off the phone. Use the computer to put a different rom on the root. Flash the rom using cwm. Let the phone sit to build the cache. While it is building, uninstall the current drivers. Reboot. Then reinstall using the drivers from the bible. Put the phone in download mode and plug the usb into a different port. Lol, but try this after you get the new usb cable.

i dont know why they always hate on you but you're a really cool dude who knows what hes talking about, thanks
(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

Exactly what he said...
That's because Kies loads the correct drivers for the Infuse.

No need for that..... Just install LATEST version of Samsung Kies and your pc will have the drivers. There are a lot of versions floating around out there and only the newest one has the Infuse drivers.
Once loaded just use super one click again and it should work.
If it's not working, try latest super one click and try again...
And yes, be in debug mode and have it on mass storage device.

Does anyone have a good link to a download, all the ones I find for the newer ones are mirrors to some bs paysites. Also I can't even hook up to kies due to the fact it needs to be in "PC studio" mode I can't find that on my phone also before I would plug in my phone it would say "update firmware(samsung kies)" now its not there and it never updated, is that the problem at all.

Infuse XP Drivers
I have an issue here, my laptop crashed and I lost everything on the drive. I'm trying to find the XP drivers for Infuse. Can someone please point me to a working link for these drivers?
I'm running SuperCM7 on my Infuse and am needing to get BT working so I need to reload it to something different.

Ok so 3days ago I was flashing a new ROM and something went horribly wrong...lol. I'm NOT blaming the dev or anything like that.. Im in red CWM, I did do an Android back up, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache. The continued to flash the rom, that went good or so I though. Next I went to flash the gapps, so I mounted the system and flashed. I forgot to unmount after i got done and restated the phone. It comes up with SAMSUNG and stays.. I can still get into Recovery, But can't get to download mode the normal way(pull battery, hold vol keys, plug in USB,insert battery) I can however get there through the Advance menu in CWM.
SO HERES WHAT IVE DONE SO FAR WITH NO LUCK......
Tried odin in windows vista but drivers would not work
Fresh install of vista and keies ---NO
so next I partitioned about 25gb of my HDD and loaded Ubuntu 12.04 loaded up JDK,Wine, SDK, and Tried Heimdall one click.
Also have another computer with Fedora and that didnt work. (I'm NOT that good with linux so I may be doing something wrong(I also have team viewer IF someone can help that way)
I know that this can be fixed but I dont know what else to do. Ive searched these fourms and tips and trick and nothing has seemd to work. 6 different machines 4 different OS's and 3 different cables...
Any advice WILL GREATLY BE APPRECIATED Thank You
Have you tried one click to stock method?

I did try the one click in vista/xp and was having trouble with the driver part.. windows would say "Unknown Device" but when I tried to load the drivers through the software i'd get failure to install driver. I'm Downloading a new one now just to be on the safe side.
Is there anything while In Ubuntu I can check as far as USB issues???

When I plug it in, windows comes up and says "Unknown Device" so when I open zadig to install drivers, and click on display all, then check the drop box there is no Samsung Android Composite Device..
I know this may be a stupid question, but is there a zip pkg like the HTC phones have that will re partition and flash the phone.??

Alright, here's the low down...
My Thunderbolt does not recognize in ANY computer (Ubuntu Linux, Mac OS X, Win XP, and Windows 7.

Downgrade to RUU 2.11.605.5 (and it worked but did not fix pc recognizing phone)
Every sort of Windows Update Fix/Fix it program
Kicker...no Warranty purchased the phone off Craigslist
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...
Can I customize an RUU to install a different recovery? Include CWM in recovery.img in a signed ruu update?
