Urgent Hellp is needed

My Pda 2k device i tryed to upgrade it from 2003 SE to 2k5 after pressing update the device restarted gived me a gray screen and typed on it seril and at the buttom v2.02 now i cant open the device each time i reset or heard rest this is the only screen appears to me i cant even connect to activsync please i need your help what to do to get my device back, this error message i recived (usb device not recognized aslo active sync didnt recognize it)
i need to add a point the device is not working on the USP connection as it have a problem only serial port to connect with the pc
i'm so new here please help me

not to worry.. you can perform a hard reset of your 2k3 version "power+reset" to get you back to at least a working device.. I have been through this and have had this happen to me as well.. try entering bootloader again "power+record+reset" and dock it fairly quickly and it should change to USB on the screen and PC recognize it... also for anyone reading this.. I would highly recommend plugging your cradle into a 5v power supply as I can only imagine most of the bricked BAs are probably due to a computer freezing and/or the PC shutting down power to the USB port only for a fraction of a second and hosing the flash up.

THx Man i will try i hop this will work :lol:

Can't get USB connection to upgrade again

Hi all,
I have this particularily annoying problem that effects my ability to upgrade the rom files on my universal sometimes.
When I put my device into boot mode I don't see USB v1 or even Serial v1, what I get is Serial v2.01
Sometimes when I then connect the USB cable into the universal this changes to USB v2.01 and windows recognises the device and I can perform the rom upgrade. Most of the time however, it stays at Serial v2.01 and windows complains about 'USB Device Not Unrecognized'.
I have tried 2 different USB cables with the same outcome.
Normally after trying s few dozen times I eventually get windows to recognise the universal and perform the upgrade but I have been stuck like this for 3 days now and am getting close to my breaking point which will could shortly result in a broken universal.
Please help.

i cant quite remember the ins and outs but i have faced this problem as well
firstly ensure your connected directly to the computer and not via a hub,
try to do the upgrade if/when you get the message remove the device from the cable and do a soft reset
try the upgrade again and it should be successful this time .
i have had lots of trouble myself with this and i have found a soft reset always gets me there in the end.
goodluck !

I have just retried the upgrade and the display keep changing from USB to Serial about every 10 seconds.
I also noticed that the mouse kept freezing on the screen for a few seconds whilst this was happening. I tried using my other USB cable and the same thing was happening.
Does anyone else have v2.01 displayed on their screen like me?

Update: I stupidly ran Ivan's AKU3.2 upgrade utility whilst the universal was activesynced to my desktop (not in bootloader mode) and now this has executed the EnterBL.exe program which traps you in the booloader unless you upgrade a rom (or use mtty to issue the correct command to escape).
Unfortunately I can't excape via either of these methods as I still can't obtain a USB connection.
I have even tried a different PC but am still stuck.
Maybe both of my USB cables are knackered, so I will obtain another one and try that. If that fails it looks like Orange will be recieving a little parcel from me...

I have now also tried a 3rd USB cable with the same result.

I have a similar problem, I'm stuck in bootloader mode.
I have version 0.60 and if I put a USB in it keeps on saying serial and my computer says he doesn't recognise the device.
I've tried it on 2 different computers as on my new one apparantely all my usb ports are part of a hub. (they come up as all, inluding the ones in my moniter, being part of an usb root hub) But no succes on my other computer either.
I'm thinking that my only option is to do it via a memory card? Can anyone tell me how I'd go about that as I have no clue :shock:
Thanks!
Tim

Success!
I have been plugging in and unplugging my phone all day (with it still stuck in boot mode) and eventually it was recongised by my PC - I then upgraded the radio stack & ce rom and I am up and running again (I know that I could have used buzz's utility but I wanted to upgrade anyway).
The only thing that I did slightly differently this time was that I actually removed the battery from the univeral for a while and then plugged it back in before trying the USB connection. I did try this once of twice before without success though so can't really draw any conclusions apart from I don't know what is going on.

UNIVERSAL in Boatloader mode not recognized by PC-USB

I tried to upgrade my rom but the process crashed. The utility mtty doesn't work because when I connect the universal, boatloader mode by the cable, to the pc, it says "USB not recognized" (sometimes when I connect the computer is frozen till I disconnect the cable of the universal)
Please, I tried to have some solutions in the forum but all the posts indicates is needed previously the usb connection.
Do you know if should be possible to run the flash of the rom in other way, for example using a serial cable connected into the miniusb of the universal, because the boatloader screen says "Serie, v.1.01"
I apprecite what you can say please, I'm really in a hole.

Try this...
Try taking out the battery for a few minutes (10-30mins) and reboot your PC then repeat upgrade process. Hope that helps. Good luck!!!

I have the same problem on my PC at work, it's caused by a poor USB chipset in the PC, or trying to connect through a USB hub.
The only thing I found that worked was to try a different PC, then it was fine...

In my case it still happening in other computers. Conclussion: some piece of the software in the universal has been lost. The screen shows "Serial" that means on some way that is opened to comunication but not USB.
My questions are:
- should be possible to put some starting software in SD and do the universal boot on it.
- do you know how to connect to the computer COM! port from the usb miniport of the Universal.
I appreciate, I was not planning to replace now the Universal...

Now works.... I still thinking windows is so stupid software made for distroy our mind ....
Solved after install drivers for a converter usb -rs232 ( I was looking for the way to connect from rs232 the universal)
I'm happy again and I promise don't try to change rom again (at least for a while)
If some person is interested in what brand of software/hardware I installed, send me a mail...
Thanks hearing me ...

i have the same problem with my friend's uni
does it mean that you don't have to own any adapter, just have to install drivers for USB to RS232 adapter
if yes, where to find it?
thanx

I want to say that is running after doing some things and obviously some of it solved my problems. I made:
- unistall last version of activesync and go back to version 4.0
- delete all the applications using ports usb.
due the connection still not running (windows message: device not recognized) and because in the screen of universal I saw: "COMM1" I tried to connect from computer port rs232. By that I purchased some special cable, name: hama brand, rs232 serial, 9 pin - usb.
As you can imagine all the steps I followed were followed by the typical restart of windows. In this sense is important to say that the universal, after connect, need to do a soft reset each time (again windows....)
Other comment is that I unmark the option to connect by usb in activesync and mark the connection by com1.
and after all was done, connecting by usb the unniversal, kill wcescomm, windows said "NEw usb device, sync device". I started mtty and now appears the USB option, great! same time the screen in universal changed from comm1 to usb, more great....
and that's all.

does it mean you solve your problem using special USB 2 RS232 connector?
ZeD
PS: it was my first idea , but i still believe i can solve the problem using USB port

I think my english wording was not fine. I mean I solved my problem after install the sofware -drivers- of the rs232 connector, but connecting to the universal by usb as on standard way I was syncronizing previous the crack with activesync.

OK, where to get this driver?

I have had the same problem several times now (search the forum for the thread).
I tried three different PC's/laptops and three different USB cables all with the same error as yourself.
Eventually I got a connection but the laborious process of trying - failing, restarting windows and soft resetting the phone, trying - failing........... until it finally worked. I did nothing differently the time that it worked but the strange thing is that it has worked every time since! Maybe the USB driver the phone has a bug in it that causes it to get 'stuck' in a mode where it will no longer correctly operate but once you have managed to 'kick' it into action it seems toi then carry on working.
It was also a ROM upgrade that caused my USB phone driver to stop functioning. Maybe the fact that the phone has a slightly diffferent software configuration after the upgrade but exactly the same hardware fingerprint causes the driver to fail.
Every time that I have had this problem it is after an upgrade but once I have gotten it to work once with the new ROM, it always continues to function - until the next upgrade.

If you're stuck in bootloader mode only, visit www.buzzdev.netand look for ExitBootloader utility written by the great Buzz. Just follow his instructions or scroll thru' Universal's forum here and there for problems relating to "stuck in bootloader"
hope this helps

no device is not recognized by PC so any trying to use exitbl is not available, anyway this option was one of the first what i have tried
thanx anyway
ZeD

i had the same problem with the QTEK of my principal after I upgraded his ROMs.
(after the hard reset, the pocket remained in bootloader mode).
you can solve this problem in a very simple way:
you have to launch the bootloader installation (BL1.01_RUU_UNI_V.1.2.EXE) from the PC (still connected with the PPC through USB) while the PPC is in bootloader mode (on your display you see "USB > Serial 1.01" or something like that).
then you do a SOFT reset and the pocket boot normally.
very simple.
i hope to be helpful to someone.

Stuck in RUU bootloader screen

My Wizard is stuck in the RUU bootloader screen and Windows XP comes up with the error "USB device not recognised".
When I connect to Windows XP the bootloader sceen shows USB at the bottom left but the PC (tried on 2 different machines) shows the above error.
Hard reset and soft reset do not work.
How can I get the Wizard to connect with the PC to perform a rom install or is the Wizard now beyond help ?

If the phone is already unlocked, plug the phone in the ocmputer. It should say USB on the phone when your on the Tri Colour screen. From that point you should be able to just flash any ROM you want. As long as it says USB on the phones screen, you should be good

No, that does not work beacuse when I run a rom install utility, I get the error (device not found).
If the pc does not see the phone, the flash utility will not either.
Is there a driver that can be installed on XP to force it to recognise the phone when connected to USB ?
Any help with this problem would be a life saver.

Are you unlocking are flashing
What knid of phone do you have

It's the HTC Wizard thats been running WM6 (TNT).
The trouble began when I tried to flash the latest version. The Wizard was recognised and the flash started, but at 0% the USB connection was lost.
Now the PC will not recognise the phone and it's stuck in RUU bootloader screen.
Tried all the USB ports on 2 different Windows XP PC's. Same problem.
Is there any method to get out of this RUU bootloader screen besides the soft/hard reset methods (because they do not do anything) ?

If the phone is already unlocked, your on the bootloader screen and the phone says USB. I don't see why you can't flash any ROM you want. I have never encounterd this issue.

yep, it's a new problem for me too.
Bottom line is, if I can't find a driver or some other way to make the PC see the Wizard. It maybe time to bin it :-(

Mate...I feel for yah, I got the same problem and tried everything. No one has come up with a solution for the phone and the PC to connect via USB when you get this error.

I dont know much about your phone but can you flash from SD card ?
It might be in the wiki section for your phone
here

it may be related to a faulty USB cable... or loose USB... i have mine do that sometimes and i have to make sure i do not move the usb once it is active synced!

[Q] USB Device Not Recognized

Good day,
I'm having problem with my DHD unable to be recognized in my Win 7 PC. I have already install HTC Sync and also tick on "Ask Me" for Connect To PC setting. I'm running on stock 3.13.707.4 ROM with S-ON and unrooted. Even restart to Fastboot my PC still unable to recognized my DHD.
From Googling it shows many Desire having USB-Brick problem, does this problem also applied to DHD? Is it my phone is hit by USB-Brick? Any guide to solve this problem? I've tried flashing older ROM via Bootloader and PD98IMG.zip but it won't allow saying something like the ROM is older version.
I just bought this used phone for about a week so I'm still not sure on how to solved this problem. any helps is much appreciated.

are you using the original cord that came with the phone? just any old usb cable won't work
also you can't flash a new rom without rooting and gaining S-OFF, you're unrooted and S-ON, that's why you get the "version is older" message

I bought the phone and it came with 1 cord (with HTC label) that can be connected to the charger, I guess there are only 1 cord for charging and connect to PC? This is the cord that I use. In addition to that I have also tried Motorola, Sony Ericsson (both also for Android phone) and Nokia cord but all can't.
The ROM is actually older version stock ROM from RUU.exe. I saw from few Desire thread they were using this method to restore the ROM to before the USB Brick condition so I thought to try it.

BUMP!
Anyone know what should I do to resolve this problem?

Are you running the very latest HTC Sync on your PC? I'm using 3.0.5606. You can get it here: http://www.htc.com/www/help/
Also, connect your phone and go into Device Manager on your PC. Check to see if you have an entry for Android USB Devices and that the phone shows up. See attached screenshot for how mine looks. This is the best place to check to see if your PC has installed the drivers correctly.
In answer to your question about the cable, yes it's the same cable that attaches to the PC or to the mains charger. I've sometimes had connection problems caused by a dodgy cable, but I've used others apart from the HTC one without issues.
Edit: Also, when you install HTC Sync it should warn you to disable Antivirus software during the installation. This can be really important! I ignored it the first time around, thinking it was just a silly precaution, and had loads of problems with the phone not being recognised. Had to uninstall, temporarily disable AV, and re-install HTC Sync. Once it has finished installing, you can turn your AV back on.

Thank you for your reply preacher6.
Yes, I'm using the latest HTC Sync, v3.0.5606, just downloaded yesterday and reinstall everything.
When my phone connected to the PC it didn't appear as Android USB Device on my Device Manager, it only appear as Unknown Device in USB Controller:
So I guess I can rule out the cable as I have tried about 4 cables already.
For the installation part, I have disable the anti virus and also running the setup program as administrator. When installing there is no problem whatsoever that crop out.
Another point is, even on Fastboot it appear as Unknown Device in the PC.

I would try to update the driver manually - right click on the Unknown device, go to "install driver" or "update driver", then browse to the "Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver" folder. See if it picks up and installs the correct driver.

I've tried manually update the driver as per your advise but it says there is no compatible driver in that folder even though androidusb.inf is in that folder.
I'm running Win 7 64bit. does the driver also work for 64bit OS?

Should do, yes, I'm on Win7 64 bit myself. There is this folder on my PC:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64
Is the unknown device present when the phone isn't connected? Just to make sure that is actually the phone - if it's still there when the phone isn't connected, it's some other device.
Otherwise try uninstalling the unknown device and then rebooting the PC, then forcing the installation of the drivers again.

The folder is same as yours.
The unknown device does not present when my DHD is not connected, so I'm certain it is the phone that appear as unknown device.
I have tried uninstalling the unknown device > reboot PC > installing the driver but it still won't install.
Another thing is, I check on the Device Manager > Unknown Device properties > Details" for it's Hardware Ids and it shows as USB\UNKNOWN. I think it should show a strings of the device id? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yep, there should be a proper device ID string, on charge mode mine shows a hardware ID of USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0CA2&REV_0226&MI_01.
At this point the best thing I can suggest is to try on another PC. If it works, your drivers are screwed up and you'll need to strip them and reinstall. But if it doesn't work on another PC, it's possible you have a hardware problem with the phone.

I need help too (HTC Desire Z device)
Is it hardware problem? (I already purchased new system board).
For me it looks like hardware problem, because device does not accept bus address, do not show USB strings/VID/PID (Tried different cables/PCs/OSes (I have OpenSUSE linux, but phone does not connect to usb on any PC, Windows PCs even do not understand that something plugged in)).
No problems with USB-connector (checked resistance), but I do not see pull-down resistance with my tester.
But all other functions work well.
UPD. Tried to connect from FASBOOT/HBOOT/Android - the same result, device does not accept bus adress. Additionally it charges without problems, but when I connect phone to USB no pop-up/information at top bar appears.

Sorry, it looks like I explained my question wrong (I'm Russian, and English do not native to me). Let me try reformulate:
You said "Yes. Holla if you still need help" so I believe that you were able to fix "Device not recognized" problem. So I'm asking - how did you do it? Did problem was hardware or software?
For me (look at symptoms at my previous message) it looks like dead USB controller in phone. But maybe it very strange software problem (USB-controller firmware damaged)?
Did I explain it clear now?

Install the SDK on PC and update all android versions.

Well guys it was just my PC, i made a system backup for four days and that was all the problem(the USB port of my PC)

After installing and updating SDK...go into platform folder and open it. Hold mouse in field and hold shift and right click mouse. Chose "open cmd here"..that will open a cmd prompt window. In regular mode on phone,type "adb devices" should return numbers (ex: hta3829g)..if in bootloader mode,type "fastboot devices" should return numbers.
This SDK helps PC see your phone when its plugged in. Especially handy when a PC won't install drivers for your phone

Are you also stating that your device will no longer charge when plugged in?
