This is a strange problem, I cant tell when it started but it did all of a sudden. When I try to connect my phone to my computer it all of a sudden does not recognize the device (it shows under USB in device manager as unknown device). This happens on my laptop and stationary one (XP and Windows Home Server). On my work computer and my girlfriends laptop (Windows vista) nothing happens at all. The only thing happens is my phone shows notification about HTC Sync (doesnt show the "mount SD card" option). I cant install modaco 2.x since it says it isnt signed when I try to run update.zip from "home+power" mode.
Anyone knows a solution? I really want to flash either modaco or the official HTC rom.

have you instaled HTC Sync + the Android SDK? Drivers are included, also ensure you have gone to settings > Application Settings > Development.. and selected USB Debugging in the handset
if you have done the above you should be able to...
Sync your device
Do a nandroid backup
Root your device
and flash, flash, flash
hope this helps
Thing is, all those stuff is checked. The strangest thing is that the phone doesnt even ask me if I want to mount the SD card (to make the phone like a card reader). I successfully flashed the generic rom again (so my phone is not rooted etc etc) but it still cant connect to any computer through USB (except from when in bootloader (back+power). Its really starting to bugging me since I cant transfer music to the phone anymore I tried a hard-reset, flashed a generic rom (the new one) and formatted the SD card (the phone can read and write to/from it without problems).
I've got the same problem for quite some time now and still no answers...! :-(
It seems very few people on these boards know of our exact problem and i've never seen a solution. Also not from the many people on these boards I consider guru's. :-(
I'm at a total loss here...
I will call HTC Sweden today and see if they can help me solve this issue. I will get back to this thread as soon as Ive been speaking to them. This is starting to really bugging me.
First of all, I would try reformatting your SD card on the phone itself via Menu-> SD card & Phone Storage. If you need anything on the card, you'll have to stick the SD card in adaptor and attach it to your PC directly.
Secondly, by the sounds of it you haven't flashed Cyanogens recovery image, or your HBOOT is wrong, if you are getting a problem with the signature on Modacos image. Either flash Cyanogen recovery, or follow the instructions found on another thread for restoring your HBOOT to an earlier version.

I have tried to format the SD card already, didnt help.
What would the hboot have to do with the SD card mounting? I got the original hboot .0004 or somehting like that (never touched it).
This is the complete infor from my HBOOT screen (power+back).
HERO CVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-1.76.0004 (HERO10000)

Should I update something? And how would that help me get USB connection to work outside fastboot? Since its only working in fastboot and not in the android system itself?
Answer from HTC:
If you are getting the 'USB Device not recognized' error in XP, then your device has a faulty USB port. You need to call our repair line to gte it booked in for repair. That really is all there is, once the hardware dies and starts giving that error, there generally is no hope apart from replacing the USB socket or the whole motherboard. best regards, HTC Europe Support
Would have been nice if they could include in this message where I should turn etc?
I had the same error when I flashed my unit with wrong radio image (newer version) without flashing system and boot images. Then I reflashed those as well and everything worked ok.

Is there any update.zip containing all those updates? and would it void my warranty? ex, would HTC be able to see any difference to the hboot etc?
Any guide you could point me to on how to update all those things?

Ok, from browsing the forum and the net in general this problem appears all too common. Some definitve advice please??
The scenario-
1/ Sync has been happening with WMDC with no issues since i got it. SUddenly it stopped a month ago.
2/ Phone is still charging.
3/ Have tried several different cables
4/ All settings on phone correct
5/ Have hard reset phone several times
6/ Have uninstalled WMDC several times
Are there any other options??? I want to put the new ROM on but obviously am unable to at the minute. Incidently this inability to syncronise seems to have coincided with a major decline in battery standby time (which hasnt been rectifed even with 2 replacement batteries of different makes).
Are there any definitive answers for this issue??
- Did you try another computer?
- Did you try deleting the usb drivers on your pc?
If you want to flash another rom, you can just go into the bootloader, then plugin your usb cable and flash the same way as you would when using WMDC. Or flash true your sd card
If you go into the bootloader en plugin your usb, you can check if your usb on your phone is still working.
Thanks. Did the first two already. USB isnt recognised from bootloader, so that doesnt sound good.
This phone has an Orange Windows 6.1 ROM. Will i be able to flash the new HTC Rom via micro sd without Hard SPL???
Hardware failure. I guess a new USB connector (or just needs soldering, but this is not recommended) would be required.
I think i have to accept that, and its out of warranty.
Does the genuine HTC ROM need hard spl fashing to my Orange Rom machine from Micro SD??
In bootloader im ending up with a not-allow message.
Is there instruction on forum for hard spl from SD on touch pro 2? Cant seem to find anything via search.
Ok, found the official HTC Orange WM 6.5 upgrade and downloaded.
According to everything ive read, if i simply extract the RUU_signed file and rename RHODIMG.nbh; then place on my FAT32 formated Micro SD root; then put the phone to bootloader: it should work.
It doesnt.
Cany anyone help here or am i doomed to using the original Orange WM 6.1 Rom until i can afford a new phone??
Evening everyone
Got a BIG problem with my phone today and having searched and read i still cant fix it
Ok a little about my phone: Rooted with amon recovery, recently s/off, CyanogenMod 7 rom and kernel, -32 radio..
Right here is the problem...
Did a nandroid backup in recovery of the rom i was using ^^ and all seemed fine, i then rebooted my phone,, booted up, waited for everything to work and then i noticed my apps weren't there?
Went into storage and it showed no memory card,, so i rebooted phone hoping this might fix but it didn't.
Plugged my phone into laptop and a message flashed up "usb device not recongnised" i though Sh!t whats happened ?
So i booted my phone into recovery to mount the sd and a message again "error cant mount sd"
Clicked reboot phone and now its stuck on the "why so serious" screen ???????
Ive dloaded the sdk tool but really not sure what i should be typing in there ??
Anyone with a little time care to help me out please lol ???
Cheers
EDIT: I have flashed nearly every rom on xda since i rooted about 4 months ago without any problems, always did the wipes in recovery before flashing so really dont know what has happened here ?

Looks like you have been usb bricked, look this forum for usb brick fix, its not the fault of the rom, it just sometimes happens. Got it once too, easely to fix.
Sent from my HTC Desire
Im not blaming the rom not one bit as its been running fine this morning up untill i did the backup.
I have read and read that much my heads spinning %-( there's hek of a lot to take in and being a rather noooooob im lost as to what i should do
Worstenbrood is right, that's.just a USB brick, don't worry, it's an easy fix. Search Modaco for USB rickrolled.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
You can skip step one.
Not to worry ? im bricking it lmao
I really aint got a clue about the fastboot thingy if you have a little time could you give me a step by step of how its done
cheers
Download the SDK and then use the command prompt to run the fastboot command from the Modaco tutorial.
There are quite a few guides for fastboot, just Google it
Hi
I just ran the command and when entered it said fastboot not found?
You need to run it from the directory containing fastboot.executive (in the SDK).
thanks for the replies
i have tried that but im getting 'adbwinapi.dll is missing from your computer'
i have re-installed sdk and still wont work?
Did you do this
Windows XP / Vista
Right click on the My Computer icon and select the properties tab.
Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
In the new dialog box dowble-click on Path (located under System Variables) and type in the full path location to the tools directory.
Has to be done for it to work
If you have never used sdk before Google for a good install & how to use guide
whooohoooo right solved the sd problem, new rom flashed and powered up Many Thanks guys "but" i still cant use the usb on laptop ?
When i plug usb in it the phone only charges ? and an usb not recognised message ?
did u install the htc drivers from the htc website? i was having problems with connecting my phone dowloaded those and un-installed sync and all was fixed!
i get 'usb not recognised message' every now and then on my home pc and the works pc both running Windows 7 64bit.
I found that usually when it pops up about
'usb not recognised message'
i just unplug the cable then back in a few seconds after the message then it usually connects ok. sometimes it takes a few attempts.
thats with 'HTC Wildfire_setup_3.0.5481' installed for the 64bit drivers.
Thanks very much guys for all your help managed to get the usb fixed by installing htc sync
But now i have another problem i noticed today is Bluetooth wont turn on ? is there a fix out there for this ?
cheers
Im experiencing strange reboots now with phone plugged into laptop via usb, and on the status bar on phone it show usb debugging and then dissapears and comes back and when i unplug usb the phone reboots?
I wiped the laptop yesterday and phone seemed fine and now the troubles have come back
In logcat error im also getting this message when i enable bluetooth
attempting to remove unknown iface (usb0), ignoring
bt_enable: Timeout waiting for HCI device to come up
Seems as if the brick has actually fooked my phone up good and proper !
Hi all...bare with me here, I posted this earlier, but in the wrong forum section so I am going to start over here.....thanks for your patience....
Hi everyone...I have a problem..I tried to use the Firerat zips to increase my internal storage, and during the flash of the zip file the phone hung and I had to pull the battery out.....since then the usb wont mount.
I am using a Tmobile mytouch slide 3g.
I tried using the sdk and running the fastboot commands etc to get the sd card to mount...no go.
I have tried the fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 command and no go....
Note:..My sd card works fine in a card reader on my computer, I can drag and drop anything to it etc. etc.
Finally i downloaded the stock rom, and i was able to put it on the card, and rename it ESPRIMG.zip and installed it through recovery...My phone was rooted and S-off running ginger, but now back to stock...S-on, and hating the phone now...lol.....
I have been all over the web and I am so confused...everywhere you search there is something different, I just dont know what to do, Windows doesnt recognize the phone when plugged in so I cant load custom rom etc back on....AARGH!!!..I am so frustrated, and have a migraine messing with this damn thing.....lol...
Someone here suggested the MISC is bad and that a binary flash_img would fix it, but honestly, I have no idea what any of that means...all that means to me is confusion, and I have that already.....lol
Can someone please suggest what I may try doing?I am pretty savvy with computers but some of the adb/shell stuff is very confusing to me, I dont like cmd prompts...so maybe a detailed explanation?..
Thank you so much for taking your time to read my problem, I really appreciate it very much.....Dirtylarry
"Kharma...It's a good thing"
ok man im gonna try to understand the problem... you say your usb mount doesnt work but the sdcard works with the adapter, then you went back to stock and un-rooted and the pc doesnt recognize your phone? right?
So it looks to me (just an idea) that the problem is your cable or the port on your pc... just beacuse your sdcard IS working in your phone as well since you used the ESPRIMG.zip(wich was really unnecessary) and you flashed it using the sdcard obviously.
Now you need to find a way to root it again just like you did the first time... dont mess with the drivers since you havent changed them in your pc (i guess) and try this guide....
http://richard.gluga.com/2010/08/complete-guide-to-rooting-and-hacking.html
Now all i can say is ALWAYS DO A NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE MESSING WITH YOUR PHONE. And check the cable/ports... thats the only problem i can think of...
well the fact that I have 3 computers that all used to recoginize the phone just fine is what's weird....none of them do, nor does my usb connection on my car stereo...the computers all say "USb not recognized" etc. etc. and the car stereo says USB N/A .......So i'm just at a loss as to what is going on here....Any ideas????? Thanks much ....Dirtylarry
Try installing PDA Net. It installs USB Drivers and resets the registry. One day it would work, then the next day it didn't work, reinstalling PDA Net worked every time.
Thanks Wave_Sailor, I tried the pda net install but it wont work....Everytime I try it says that it can't handshake to the phone, and then gives me an error code 103, I have tried many many times....also, in the device manager for computer it shows a yellow Exclamation mark everytime I plug the phone in listed at "Other Devices", and says Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM....So I googled, and found another thread saying Install Windows mobile 6 center, so I did, and nothing changed.......ARGH....DIrtylarry
Do part III, but while the phone is unplugged, download and install HTC Sync, and then plug the phone back in.

Ok...I did EXACTLY what you have suggested, and in the driver information box this is what I got after the install....
USB Composite device installed successfully
USB Mass Storage Device Failed
Mytouch slide tmobil installed successful
Still a no go on the Mass storage device......hmmm.....so weird of a problem to have....I would have thought that clearing everything on the phone and going back to stock would have done the trick......any more ideas?...Thanks so much for your help.....Dirty
Have you checked in device manager on your computer to see if the mass storage device has a yellow triangle? I just went through the same thing but in reverse. My pc would see the sd card while in my phone but not through the reader. I still haven't gotten it straightened out either, just learned to live with it.

Make sure you don't have any drivers disabled. Ran into that problem with a different phone. I had one driver disabled so it wouldn't install some of the other drivers.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using Tapatalk
Ok...just checked,...no drivers disabled in device manager...has to be something wrong with phone...its a/most like the driver is missing from within the phone or something...isn't there some way to get this back to where I could root it and install a custom rom again without the USB to phone connectivity and use my card reader to get some sort of files back onto phone that way?
ok....well I re-did the whole flash process over, and I am now rooted again once more.....I dont know how or why or what...but I am now going strong again.....lol thanks for the help everyone,
Hi there, as stated in the title I had a CM7.0.3, then ran ROM Manager (I've got Pro version) and tried the option "Search updates for installed ROM". It found and downloaded and update, that was CM7.1.0 buuuuut TOO BAD it downloaded and installed the CDMA version!
When I rebooted the phone, I could enter the system but it couldn't see neighter my SIM card nor my SD card. I can enter in bootloader or recovery mode, and tried to install another ROM without using an SD card (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-to-an-android-phone-device-without-sd-card/) but the problem is that when I connect the phone to my PC, Windows XP says it needs Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver that, googling, I found ONLY for Windows CE based phones (it seems included in Active Sync ...).
I searched here in the forum, too, but fond solution only for Windows CE based phones ...
Could you please help me? Thank you so much.
have you tried to restore your nandroid backup?
It was the first thing I tried but ... as I wrote I realized that the phone couldn't see my SD card ... If only I could access the SD card I could install a new ROM since I've Amon-RA correctly working.
I dont know if this will help ... but you can try do 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode.

Well, this could help, but if I connect the phone to Windows XP, it says that "Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver" is missing and I can't do any adb o fastboot instruction ... I can't communicate to the phone through my PC ... at least if I can't find those drivers.
it says 'qualcomm' even in fastboot (back+power) mode ?
No it says "Android 1.0" whatever it means...
Yes that's what it's supposed to do. Then while in fastboot run the command mentioned earlier.
But first boot into recovery and see if you have access from the sd-card(you should have) from there. if so, just use the recovery to transfer a new rom to your phone and then flash it.
So, good news. First of all thank you for your suggestions.
I connected the phone to a Windows PC and even in fastboot mode it can't see the HTC. Buuuuut I connected the phone to my Mac using ADB for Mac and I could access it in fastboot mode! So, I ran the command you wrote, then entered recovery mode and I could see my SD card, so I could install CM7.0.3 and now I can access SD card e use SIM card. So good!!
There's still only one issue: Bluetooth doesn't work! I try to activate it, it says "activating" but after few seconds it fails. I tried to reinstall the latest radio e then again CM7.0.3 wiping, first, alla data. But it still doesn't work. There's a reason for that? But above all, there's a solution?
I'm reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639 right now, hope that works.
Well.. You should try another ROM.. just try any small ROM i.e. devnull.. and check your blutooth.. as it seems your mobile is connecting to pc.. so USB and SD both working.. no need to USB fix.
So, I used the instructions in the link posted before and do an USB fix and now BT is working. I can't test, right now, GPS and USB. To be true, I didn't test USB connection so I am not sure that a USB fix was not needed.
What is strange, is that, fixed BT (and other) issues, I tried to reinstall a new fresh ROM (the CM7.0.3 I had before) and ... the "no SD and no SIM" issue was there again! I had to do the entire process again and then again BT didn't work. I fixed this one too, and now my phone "seems" ok ... I let you know in the next few days hoping now is really all fully working.
Thank you all.
UPDATE: tested GPS and radio, fully working now
Hello!
Here is my problem. Weeks ago i rooted my phone using unrevoked and I'm also S-off. But yesterday i wanted to flash a new rom, so I wiped and after that took conscious that I was unable to flash a new rom because it was impossible to access my SD-card. I tried to reactivate the my SD-card using differents methods but it didn't work.
So now I totally desesperated, if anyone has any idea of how i could fix it he would become my hero!
PS : sorry for my English.
Try to format your SD card using your computer. Use FAT32. Copy a new ROM file to said card then flash via recovery. If that doesn't work, try using a different SD card, maybe this one is broken (yes, it can happen all of a sudden).
To check if your USB is bricked, try connecting your device when in HBOOT mode (bootloader) to a PC via USB. If the PC can detect the phone, then it's not an USB brick. The phone's screen should also read "HBOOT USB". You can also try fastboot, in which case the display will read "fastboot USB".
If that doesn't solve your problem, please give us more details.
P.S. - You shouldn't have opened a new thread, as there are already lots of threads on this matter.
