HERO Update

I download the RUU Rom link and ran it. I have the phone connected, but when I try to do the update it says my phone is not connected. Anyone have any ideas?

First suggestion would be not to use the RUU as from what I've seen it updates HBOOT which seems to restrict things going forward .
modaco's 2.2 rom is basically a rooted rom from the RUU you can also get the updated radio from his site too without updating HBOOT.
Both the radio and the rom are in a nice update.zip format which is easy to use but you do need to backup contacts stored on the phone and sms etc as it does require a wipe. (the again I believe the RUU dies this too anyway).

Try to start it from the fastboot. Switch of the phone. Turn it on again holding the back, and on/off button till you see the 'fastboot' screen. Then connect the phone with the PC and wait till the drivers are loaded and you see in the screen 'fastboot usb'. Then run RUU****.exe again.
That worked on my Vista Ultimate 64bits machine.

[Q] Can i root with MY HTC in device manager?

Tired of scouring through help videos and google searches... I hope someone on here can help me.
Rooted my HTC Desire via the unrevoked 3.2 method and used for a few days before deciding to S-OFF. Well i made a mistake and got stuck in a boot loop. Reflashed the RUU and i am back in business.
The issue is that i had to reinstall HTC Sync to reflash the RUU and then uninstall again so i could re-root, leaving the drivers in of course. I noticed that when i connect phone to PC via the same method as before, it should have had 'ANDROID 1.0' in device manager but this time it says MY HTC.
Can anyone explain what to do?
1) I can go ahead and root as before, this is just the new version of HTC Sync drivers.
2) Stay clear, the new drivers mean the bootloader is locked.
Which is it?????
I am a noob and although some members on here instructed me to use adb, i am out of my depth with that, even the guides available aren't simple enough for me.
Surely there must be an easy way out of this?
Any help would be much appreciated!

u can try uninstall the drivers and reinstall them back to be safe. also install the modified hboot drivers from unrevoked.

Thanks for your reply. Already tried to uninstall then reinstall the drivers. The issue is happening when I try to install the modified hboot driver, it says the driver is up to date but doesn't show as 'Android Bootloader Interface'.

When your Mobile is fully booted it will show My HTC.. and when you will boot into fastboot.. by volume down and power.. you will see 'Android Bootloader Interface'.
So that mean, YES you can root with unrevoked while you have 'MY HTC' in device manager with USB Debugging On.

[Q] Computer doesn't recognize HOX after flashing

Hi guys, my dad got a problem with his rooted HTC One X. His phone crashed after flashing. After the crash he formatted the phone except for the SD card. Now none of our computers recognize the phone anymore so he isn't able to put firmware on it. He has tried to mount/unmount the SD card via device manager, but the computer sees it as an unknown device. My dad tried to install the drivers but that didn't work. After that he tried to install ADB drivers but that also didn't work. Anyone here who can help him?

Yup, dozens of ppl here can help him.
What did he flash?
What firmware are you talking about?
ROM? Firmware.zip?
What do you mean by "didn't work"? Did he actually install the drivers or did it fail?

Hmm, I actually don't know what he flashed; I'll ask him when he gets home! I was talking about ROM. He actually installed the drivers but the computer still didn't recognize the phone

Sent you PM.

Sent him a PM in Dutch :thumbup:

Hello,
I have the same problem with my HOX, after rooting I can't connect to my pc , so I cant flash anything.
Theo

My friend is also having this same issue.
The phone is not turning on.
HTC Sync Manager, ADB, non of them recognize the device.
Holding Vol down + Power button didn't do anything.
It's like the device is completely dead. But when connected to the PC, device manager shows it as an unknown device.
Any ideas/ solutions?

Make sure you dont use a USB3.0 connection. We had a hard time getting adb to work last night. My suggestion is to deinstall the htc drivers, uninstall the unknown device. Reinstall the htc drivers and reboot the pc then hook the phone to the pc and let it install. If it still comes up with unknown device you click it and select to install your own your own drivers and then select to choose from the list......you should see ANDROID PHONE in the list, click it and there should be an option called MY HTC install it and reboot the phone and the pc ....this way we got it working last night.

Thanks again for the reply. I've already tried it. Nothing gets installed. And still it says Unknown device.

Well the problem that QQ had is solved. We got the drivers in order late lastnight after a lot of de-installing and re-installing of java and HTC drivers .....finally it worked, but then the battery ran out so i wrote him a full and easy to use tutorial and put the files he needed where they had to be .....
:and he did a great job following the steps and got him back a full working phone :thumbup:

[Q] Nexus stuck in boot loop. how get to install drivers?

Hey guys i've been looking through alot of google and can't seem to come up with anything so i turn to you awesome people.
My friend got a Galaxy Nexus GSM and he bought it with a boot loop problem. The phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked. I know because i can go to CWM recovery and also theres the unlock sign on it. However I can't get my computer to recognize it what so ever not even mount the storage. I figure i need to get the drivers to install but i need it to be recognized in device manager to do it through a rootkit. I tried to install the ADB drivers but also got no luck. I then tried to get to ODIN for it to work but ODIN won't recognize it either. Is there any way to install the drivers so i can put on a ROM on this. I think the person he bought it from formatted everything and messed it up. Is there anyway i can install the drivers without getting it to recognize first? I tried it in windows 7 and in windows 8. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

Pay attention to Section A. Forget Odin, no need to be using that.

First off thanks so much for the reply and help it is very aprreciated!
Secondly i did come across this sticky however like i stated the phone is in a boot loop which means i cant get past the google logo in order to set it in developer mode and set usb-debugging neither can my computer recognize the phone when i plug it in, using the original cable i've tried every port there is on my desktop and laptop and nothing comes up in device manager. The phone is completely wiped and no OS is on it. Is there any way i can get a ROM on the phone?! This is one idea i have but i don't know if it'll work, I was thinking of buying a another working nexus install the drivers with that one and then i can get the bootloop one to get recognized? and return the new one. Will that work?

You need to get adb to work with your device, which you can do in a custom recovery. You don't need to have USB debugging enabled, you would if you were booting into the OS, but not the recovery.
You can get drivers setup while in recovery or fastboot just as easy as if you were booted into the OS, so no you don't need another device.

again, read the thread i gave you. if you're still asking this question, read it again.

Isn't that for the nexus 4? And I did pay attention to section A but it told me how to install the drivers which is the same way as every other tutorial I've looked at. My device doesn't show up on my computer and I can't install their way. As for the fastboot driver installation idk what their talking about. I followed the instructions though and got no results. I didn't do the whole thing cause for part C I need the original rom for galaxy nexus and also I don't know if the platform tools zip is for my device so I haven't gone through with it just yet. I'm sorry it's not my phone so I don't want to mess it up even further. I've read about the part with it being in recovery mode with the volume up + power option but I'm at work and haven't tried that yet but I doubt that will work since the phone is clean. Can u please be a little more specific there's 99 pages that I have to go through for that sticky. If u can't it's ok I'll just have to go through it next week. Once again thanks for pointing me in the right direction and giving me some hope.

ok so i tried the link but im always stuck with part A. When i go into fastboot and then try the command "fastboot devices" it hangs on waiting for the device. I can't see the device anywhere on my computer to install the fastboot drivers as instructed by 1wayjonny in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20058157&postcount=1
Am i missing something here? i did everything in the other steps such as downloading all the files into the same directory and everything. Im using windows 7 and i updated all my drivers for usb and even tried different usb cables including the original and usb2.0 and 3,0 ports but still no dice. I also tried it on windows 8 and got the nada.

You reboot the device into bootloader/fastboot mode, then you connect the USB, and there's no sign at all that a USB device has been installed?
Remove all drivers, reboot, and start over. Get a tool for Windows that allows you to really dig on all of the installed drivers and remove all Nexus devices drivers permanently. Rant: Umm, Windows sucks bad. Thanks Linus!

I've done it both ways just to ensure it wasn't something that simple. I uninstalled all drivers i can possibly find theres non no where i used CC to look for more and device deview and even unistalled the java se and eclipse and android SDK and all the packages and installed them again and still nothing. My nexus 4 however recognizes both in adb and fastboot ......

Anything at all? Anyone?

Well, maybe you could try omapflash. If you can't get several PCs to see the device, then something's wrong with the USB port?
Not even on Linux?

I did a little looking up about omapflash and from what i can see so far there needs to be drivers installed first. I may be wrong but i have to do some more research on it and i dont have a linux pc my laptop is down thanks to a power pin connector pin being pulled out. and i dont know if the device port is good or bad i can get a charge but that doesnt mean its fine. What if i get another device and install drivers via that and then try to get it to recognize? would that work?

To really make sure that the issue isn't on the host side but rather the USB port on the device? Yeah, that would rule it out.
Also, I just remembered: you're not using the USB ports of your PC case are you? Make sure you're using the motherboards' own USB ports.

Thats all it would do?! What about making me able to install the drivers and get the phone to be recognized? No wont work im dreaming?
And no im not using case ports at all i use them for charging and thats all i know at least that those arent reliable.

Windows 8 64-bit...drivers install...stuck
even I am stuck on the same roadblock. have my GNex stuck on the google logo. can access recovery mode though (TWRP 2.5.0.0). Now i just upgraded my PC to Windows 8 64-bit and cant seem to be able to install drivers.
the problem is that almost all the methods require:
1. GNex to be connected with USB Debugging ON
2. install ADB Drivers
3. get into Fastboot or Recovery
4. install Bootloader Drivers
since i cant get past the Google logo on my GNex...i cant perform Steps 1 & 2.
and if i directly try to install the bootloader drivers the OS returns an error (yellow exclamation next to the installed driver)
Added pictures to help explain better.
Thnx in advance.

SOLVED (Dont know how but it worked):
1. Factory reset (TWRP)
2. Installed an old ROM which was already on the GNex
3. Restart...it gets stuck at the Google logo...remove battery

5. reboot...

[DRIVER] ADB won't recognize phone

Hey guys !
I've encountered a strange problem with my HOX.
ADB won't recognize my phone when it's connnected via usb.(it does, when I do this OTA way via wifi), everything else works, fastboot DOES recognize my phone and I can also transfer files.
I definitely know it's a driver problem but, ... I tried it the old way when I installed HTC Sync so the right drivers are installed but when I do this, my pc stops recognizing the phone completely.
tl;dr. If I have no HTC drivers installed I can transfer files and see my phone but can't use ADB. If I install them via HTC Sync or using a separated installer I can't see my phone at all.
Can someone provide me with the right drivers ?
btw. I'm using WIN 8.1 64bit.
Thanks
