I've been browsing these forums all night and I for the life of me cannot just find a simple answer. This update came out a while ago and I had no idea about it, so hopefully someone can help me.
Literally, all I'm trying to do is upgrade to 4.2. I've never done anything at all to my phone, it's always been stock. I'm looking for help because the OTA won't work at all, it said I was on 4.1, so it checked for updates and downloaded like a 400mb file, and it turns back on and I'm still at 4.1??
I went to HTC's site and saw that I could just manually install it, but of course it's never that easy. I did all the steps exactly, but when it starts to download and gets to the black HTC screen, my computer always says it doesn't recognize it and can't install drivers (error 170), and then it fails to update. I've tried this on both machines that run windows 8.1. I feel like I've tried everything..I tried running it in different compatibility modes, run as admin, and then I read somewhere that you update it when you're on the fastboot screen. So I tried that but when I'm in the bootloader my computer doesn't recognize my phone at all.
I'm stuck on what to do at this point. I can borrow a computer that has windows 7 on it, if that would help at all. Any help is appreciated!
Not enough info. What carrier version is the device? What region/country are you in? What is your current software number (not Android version).
When you say "manually" update, I think you are talking about RUU. What is the RUU version (file name)?
WIndows 8.1 is probably your main issue with the RUU. Win 8.1 is not compatible with HTC drivers. Anything before 8.1 should work. But again, you need to provide more info.
Hey man thanks a bunch! I should've provided more info, although I just tried it using a windows 7 laptop and it worked with no issues thanks!

So I've been trying to unlock my Samsung Focus with ChevronWP7. I have followed >>this<< guide, step by step, but after I click both boxes and click on "Unlock", I get "Sorry, I'm having trouble communicating with the phone. Please make sure it's connected using USB. Please start the Zune application." So then I tried another guide(can't find the link right now), which included disabling the network, using WPConnect.exe, etc, but that didn't work either. I am completely at a loss of why this damn error keeps popping up. I restarted both my PC and phone numerous times, I've tried different USB ports and cables, but nothing is working. Anyone have any tips?
My OS version is 7.0.7390.0, Firmware Revision is 2103.11.3.3 and Zune version is 4.7.1404.0 if that helps at all.
Thank you, maxx.
I had same problem and I used the guide below and it worked on the first try. Most importantly was STEP 2 for me. Uninstalling Zune and using the version from the link provided in the guide at step 2.
[Tutorial] Unlock your phone; prevent relock & prepare for updates!
Well damn, it says my firmware isn't compatible with CWP7. I guess that and my Zune version is why it doesn't work. Is it possible to revert back to a previous firmware version?
try to downgrade to previous version (if possible) from zune.
If your phone came with NoDo (7392 or 7390) installed the only way to unlock at the moment is to flash a previous firmware version. Check the forums if there is one for your provider and phone.
If i'm not wrong you can checkwith Ansar's rom.
Have you resolved the problem yet? It seems there is something wrong with the "hosts" file. Generally, this file is in folder "C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc". Open it, delete all lines like "192.168.1.101 developerservices.windowsphone.com". Then, save it, try ChevronWP7 again in admin permission, it should be OK. If still not works, please send email to me, [email protected].

maxx,
Chevron WP7 DOES NOT work with 7390 and above. As you have found out, the only option is to downgrade the firmware to an older version and then unlocking it. I tried searching and was not able to find it ( or I did not know what the hell I was looking for, HTC HD7 user here )
If your Focus came with a older version and you updated using Zune, you can try restoring
Open Zune--> Settings-->Phone-->Updates-->Restore
Try posting in the Samsung Focus forum. You might get some help.Good luck...
so I have already downloaded rev and i get everything right but after i enter the beta code its says "zerging root.... may take a minute or soo" and i can let it sit like this for hours with nothing happening PLEASE HELP
Specs:
Tmobile
2.3.4
hboot: 1.18.0000
What version of Windows are you using?
I am running windows 7
Hmmm, I had no issues with it myself but I would suggest running as administrator and see if that helps
lame part is I have tried that, if you have skype or something i can share my desktop to show you :/ its very frustrating lol, i stayed up all night -.-
OK so i ran rev on an older computer with xp and it worked right now im running leedriod ? so what can i do with these custom roms/?
I'm also using windows 7 and have had no problems. The fact that it says searching for root kinda makes me wonder if its the phone that's the problem and not your system. Is your phone connected with charge only selected? Do you have adb debugging enabled? Maybe try with another USB if you have checked the above while running as an administrator. You may have to disable your antivirus also. I have Norton and it detected revolutionary as a virus and kept deleting parts of it. That could also be the problem. You may be missing parts. Verify the zipped contents with the unzipped contents. *Edit* Just saw that you got it working. Great! But to answer your question, you can do everything. The only problem is, is figuring or what you want to do first.
doesnt say serching for root says zerging, which it sayed on the other comp too, idk why it wasnt running on my laptop but yah, so i installed leedriod on my phone , is there any roms you guys would suggest leedriod is alright but i think there are better ones out there/...
Hi. I`m currently trying to update my G2X to latest version V21y, (2.3.4) with the LG Update tool. But everytime it gets to 4% it stops, and the driver on the computer disables for some reason. On the the screen it says "SW update please wait..." (I`m running win 7 64 bit by the way.) I have found tree different driverpacks from LG site ( LGUnitedMobileDriver_S498MA22_WHQL_ML_Ver_2.2, LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN37AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.7.2 and LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1) but its the same problem when I try with the different driverpacks. Is there any other way to install the update without the LG update tool? I`m tired of having to use the G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash to get back to V21E version everytime it hangs. Maybe a program like G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash with the latest version can fix this? Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Did you try to update it on another computer? Also, I'm not sure but I think only having one driver installed is the best as other drivers may conflict with eachother.

Thanks! I tried on win vista with the same result. I`ve heard XP may be better, but dont have one here. What I ment with the driverpacks is that I installed one at the time (deleted one before I installed another). Hope there is a way to do this on win 7....
try following the instructions here:

One more thing, I had that same thing happen to me, I've updated 4 different G2x's and usually, just trying another time was the cure.

Thanks, maybe that will be my last opportunity if I understand it...looks a little difficult. Will it be the same thing as a normal update, or will this make it impossible to update the phone through the LG update tool in a later time and update?

Thanks. I have tried to do this many times on my computer but it fails everytime at the same point. I guess its a conflict problem between the driver and win 7. Why it works on some win 7 is lika a riddle to me, in wich case I dont understand what I`m doing wrong.

It's almost the same as a normal update. With earlier versions of the LG update tool people could do a kdz update with no problems, but I guess LG figured that out and ever since no matter what version of the LG update tool you install, as soon as you launch it it will automatically update itself to the latest version and thus prevent you from using the kdz update (unless of course it was for your specific carrier). That's where the offline update comes in, regardless of what operating system you're using (I did it on windows 7 64-bit). Basically, it blocks LG's connection to your pc, then installs the LG update tool, and a bunch of other little things, then you're good to go. You have to make sure that you are on a stock rom with no custom recovery installed.
If you follow the instructions carefully, you should be fine. If you run into problems, let us know
Hope this makes it a little clearer as to why it doesn't just simply work anymore.

Hey Guys
I tried searching and saw a few people with my issue but no real solution. I just got a One S coming from Sprint (Evo4g) and enjoy the One S except for the no SD card thing. I have no issue connecting my phone to my windows 7 machine as a disk drive, but I have 2 computers at work with XP and both do not recognize my phone. I get a "USB device not recognized" message on my taskbar and when I click it, there is no driver installed for my phone. Same thing with both XP machines. OK, so I search the internet for an HTC USB driver, cant find one ANYWHERE, a few sites that seemed to have had them have removed them. HTC website is missing the One S support page entirely right now, awesome. So after I clicked around while I eventually found a link for HTC Sync software and tried installing that. Still no driver was installed and cannot connect that way either. At a loss here, any advice? If so does anyone have any links for actual things to install that can fix this issue?
Feel like a newb here but coming from the EVO i am very familiar with rooting, installing ROMs etc so find it hard to believe this is so difficult.
Thanks!
David
really nothing after a few days?

Maybe no one uses XP when there is nothing wrong with Windows 7 but if you rooted already you use Flash Image GUI for flashing boot.img then you wont need a PC to install a rom.
I've been getting help in the Newbie thread, but it's time I start a new topic, since it's getting harder and harder to find replies.
All I'm trying to do is upgrade an old LG from Android 5.0 to 6.0. That's it.
I've got the drivers installed. I've downloaded three different versions of Flash Tool. The only one I got to do anything was "Flash Tool 2014".
The first time I ran it (following the directions on the web page where I found it), I picked "CDMA", "DIAG", and "CSE Flash". I was able to pick "Other Country" and "English" and got the phone to start installing. However, it only got as far as 4% and gave me an error. Now, when I run it, I pick "Other Country" and can't even pick a language. They're all blank. If I continue, all the messages consist of Question Marks, however, it still gets as far as 4% before stopping.
The phone is bricked in Download Mode. I have tried two different USB cables, two different computers, one of which has Windows 7 & 8.1 installed. I've tried all different USB ports to make sure I'm on USB 2.0 and not 3.0. I've tried running in Administrator Mode.
I see many posts about the 4% Error. The solution involves downloading a "wx.dll" file and putting it in the C:\system32\LGMOBILEAX\PHONE folder, but that didn't work. I also so one that said when you get the error, take the battery out of the phone, unplug it, put it all back together, and then Continue. That didn't work either.
What else can I possibly do? Thanks.
Hey, I have been trying to find a rom for 6.0 and I can't find anything. The only way to get to 6.0 is through ota. If you have 5.0 then your lucky. Ota can only be used if you still have a sim card that's active in the phone. There isn't roms for stock android 6. I would try and help but I can't.
If anyone finds away to get stock 6.0 please let me know.
Talking about your issue of your phone being bricked, there is many unbrick methods. I personally used https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...n-qualcomm-hs-usb-qdloader-9008-mode.2933853/ it helped and fixed my issue. I still had my device info wiped off my phone somehow but at least it works. Your at a issue with a flash tool, fresh reflash with that method I sent if you can use it and start over. I can guide you through it if needed.
You might be stuck at a stand still, tell me what your phone says in device manager. You probably flashed a bad firmware. In that case I used the method above.
