My phone (HTC Desire) used to work fine (i have had it for nearly a year now) but now it has suddenly decided to not let me connect, sync or do anything over usb, none of my pcs detect it either.
I have tried a hard reset (no change) and i am wondering what I should do next?!?
Many Thanks
Josh
p.s Phone info in signature
EDIT: It just wont recognise anything via usb except charger and car dock :-S
as your phone seems not to be rooted, you should check wether the drivers are correctly installed if using ms windows...
The drivers are correctly installed, I just don't know what to do next ...
You should try rooting (with Unrevoked-it's kinda' easy) and after that installing a custom ROM ... and try then
Or you can try another PC and see if the sync is wirking there

the problem is that i cant root without the usb working!
I have tried multiple pcs...
also do you think that t-mobile will take it back and fix it? (its debranded no noticeable change except boot screen)
Sounds like u may be misc ****ed/usb bricked.
Does your sd card detect? if you mount it does it have qxdm files on it?
Try the gold card sollution ... maybe u'l succed
Ps.warranty is voided just when you root you phone as i know

Is it possible to make a goldcard without USB connection? Think the op's hboot is too recent.
I have the same problem as you, I've tried following, the thread below. You may have more luck.

Never tried the gold card sollution ! But it might work ( for now ) Try it and post back
I was in the process of getting hboot drivers installed on my PC and lost my HTC drivers.... I finely got my bootloader interface running but also need the HTC drivers to run android flasher as said in this post...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638 .....every where I look it never states clearly what download I should chose .. I do have the program "driverMender" but it only says its missing not where I can reacquire it from........PLEASE help.... Im stuck at this point....
Download htc sync, then uninstall it.
you want me to download htc sync then uninstall htc sync??????I dont understand that be I'm doing it... thats the first answer I have got in a day and a half......Thanks
-Nods- Exactly that. You just need the drivers the program installs for the phone. Leaving the program installed causes problems when rooting, so you delete it. After you're rooted, you can re-install it.
im already rooted is that a problem
Naaaw, you're still good to go.
But you also got he hboot drivers?
ya I lost htc drivers when I was getting hboot drivers. but its good to go i just need to replace htc....which i'm finely onmy way.... I tell you thanks... I have been on my PC all day trying to fixs this...
Well at least you could end the day on a positive note.
after I install the program do I uninstall it right away or do the find my device portion
Well since you're rooted, don't need to uninstall, you can go to the find my device portion.
well i have never had the need for the program as of yet. guess i'll keep sence I have already done the due..... again thank you
Glad to have helped.
Hello,
i've got a problem like the title says. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer via usb, i get the message the device wasnt recognized by the computer. i tried everything i know, another usbport. etc. i want to install a new radio, but without connecting to the computer it isnt possible, because i dont have the usb debugging active.
i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.
Are you using Windoze?
If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.
thanks for the quick answer.
i tried it, but it didnt help. where is this application data folder? do you mean on the computer? i found after uninstalling no more folders from htc.
and yes i use windows home premium 64bit.
got another idea? now it says also the device does not function properly. i hope that nothing on the device is broken.

yes he is talking about your computer... if in the "program files" you hasn´t anythink about HTC SYNC,, ALL IS OK...
but enssure that in the configuration panel-system-dispositive administrator you hasn´t any drive installed for your android device... if you have installed it, erase or uninstall it before re-install htc sync or the htc drivers....then you can re-install and reboot windoux...
and hey buddy!I recommend to you to consider to pass to linux, you will not have this type of mistakes... LOL
UBUNTU is great!
I'm afraid I don't know much about Windoze but memory serving appication data is a hidden folder so you will need to change it to view them and is in the Documents and Settings / [Your username] directory.
Device not function is just a default Windoze error when it can't install something, ignore it, your phone is fine.
If you have reinstalled HTC Sync, try a USB port on the opposite side of the PC. So if you trying ones next to each other on the front, try ones on the back (they use different headers on the motherboard).
If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I probably won't be of much more use, sorry.

The use of linux is good to understand better android OS you don´t believe?

thanks guys for your help, but although i followed your advices, except the one to switch to linux ;-), it hasnt got better yet. the problem is still exsisting and i dont know what else i can do.
anyone got an idea how to install radio without having usb debugging and the drivers from the computer?
Hi!
I've got the same problem with 2 different PCs, one with Win7 64-bit, the other with Win XP PRO.
Other devices work fine with the same USB ports, so i doubt it's windows or the PC...

you can´t flash any radio if your phone is not recognized
well.. Let's continue with the problem in question...
1.At some time could you have connected it?with the stock rom maybe?
2.have you tried to swich on mass storage usb mode?what´s the result?
3.when you tries to swich the phone for flash some radio you enables "usb debug"
and "only chargue"?
its a weird problem
Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.
1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

you´re welcome companion
i reded in a spanish forum ( www.htcmania.es ) about your problem and there´s people that had the same problem with a S.GALAXY S & desire HD...
someone was solved it fullwiping and formating (in the paragraph of mounts & storage into CWM) and flashing another ROM... then they formatted their sd card with a card reader OF THE PC... later they was formatted the sd card from the pc and the problem was disapeared successfully...
BUT if it persists i think that you should (mi suggestion) send your machine to the thecnical service....
ok, will try this today evening when i'm home. if this doesnt work i will reset it in the orginial state and send it to the technical support. i will leave a comment if i was successful, perhaps this will help others with the same problem.

Please help me root this device. I have only ever done my Gs2 a few times with flashing etc, so am basically a complete noob.
I have tried for the last couple of hours and am wanting to go mad. I have followed all the lines about unlocking the device and the fastbook oem unlock, But all it ever tells me is waiting for device. Im guessing im missing drivers, but I have dont the samsung drivers a couple of times, and unzipped and followed the instructions.
Any easier to follow guides or info out there that can help me?
When I plug the phone in to unlock it, i dont get the usual ding from windows, i just get a little thre dings like it doesnt know what it is.
please help. Thanks....
Ps, sorry if I am being stupid or cluttering the forum. cheers..

Haven't rooted mine yet, I'll be doing it at the weekend. Had loads of issues with the drivers when I rooted my Nexus S. In the end I installed PDA net on my PC - the drivers installed with that worked fine (you don't actually use PDA net thereafter) Not sure if this works with the GN but you will not do any harm trying it.

Cheers guys, Im so new to this, its so frustrating. Its got to be a driver issue. My comp reconises the phone when its on, but when its in bootloader mode, windows is giving me three dull bells when connecting the device....
will have a look at the other thread, Have already read that one I think, and looked so foreign to me!!! lol
I cant pst in the other thread, but have downloaded and installed pda net for android, and when it gets to installing the drivers from the phone, it does it all, ie galaxy nexus , the other driver that i cant remember and the galaxy driver is not installing. Even gone two miles down the road and got a different laptop. no matter what I download or ty and install it just dnt do it.
can some one either make a real simple idiots guide for me the idot, or locally please let me pay you a small fee to root these two phones. Im almost in tears after 5.5 hours of constant crap and pathetiness.
Wishing right now i had not bthered with these phones. At least my s2 and flashing was simple.
It says "waiting for device" because for some crazy reason when you are in fastboot mode Windows (which is what I'm using) uses a different USB driver than when you are in "normal" usb connect mode.
What you need do to sort it out is to go to Device Manager and change the driver to use the Samsung instead of whatever crazy one Windows has decided to use. Then you can carry on with doing the bootloader unlocking.

Ok so what have you done so far?
You have the pdanet drivers installed on your pc?
You need to boot into fastboot mode to install the driver you need to root your phone.
*THIS* guide will explain what adb and fastboot are exactly.
*THIS* guide will show you how to set up adb and fastboot.
When unlocking the bootloader you will need the file fastboot.exe which you can put in the root of your c drive for easy access. The atteached file needs to be renamed from .zip to .exe as you cant attach .exe files in xda.
If you have any more questions then just ask .
Mark.
ok..... having gone through similar a few minutes ago.
The drivers kept saying that they had failed to install. kept trying over and over.
then i twigged:
1) made sure debugging mode was on
2) Rebooted the unit into bootloader mode - suddenly the adb driver installed successfully doh !
wonder if this is the same issue you are having ... the adb drivers only install successfully once the nexus is connected via usb and in bootloader mode
of course you may know all that already but it had me stumped for a while
Thank you guys, some good info and detailed posts, which is what I was hoping for! I'm in bed now, but will give this a blast and report back tomorrow!
Really appreciated!
Thanks .......

Big thanks to everyone. Woke up with a clearer head and proceeded to try again. Done as wilbur said and installed drivers in recovery mode. And perfect.......
after so many problems all was sorted. Then used superboot, and all was ok. 2 galaxy nexus's rooted. think the lesson learnt is to walk away instead of furiously trying things.
Cheers for all the input. What a easy methd ONCE all the drivers are there!!
Cheers people
Glad you got it sorted
I cant use adb and visionary does not seem to work.
Is there a way to root the Gingerbread rom without having to get adb to work?
Because it will not work for me.
Far as I know you'll need adb. Keep trying. You'll get it. When I had a backflip over a year ago. I went crazy trying to understand how to root. Now adb is easy. Easier with win xp I think.

Unfortunately not; there are some "no adb required" guides but they tend to have a high brick rate.
How is adb not working for you?

Idk ive always had problems with adb on my computers.
I was having a problem finding a driver but i found one on a youtube video from g2hacks.
Heres the link.

Incase anybody else is loosing their mind clicking all the links in the how to's on this forum. which all just take you in circle. like getting the run around from an insurance company.
I seem to be recognizing ill try to push some files now.

Did you not go to the wiki which has a step by step guide, including links?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yah my problem this time was that i didnt have a driver. but that link worked. none of the ones on this website would though.
Everywhere i read it says i have to downgrade first. i was following the guide but i have to install the original g2 OTA signed.
Now ive ran into the problem that every copy i try to download is corrupt. just my luck. a 30 min process takes 5 hrs. or more.
I got to the point where adb reboot my phone into bootloader after the the temp root and did not realize the update.zip would not work. now im afraid to turn my phone back on. i dont want to have to do everything over again.
Ok figured that out. Windows xp was set to hide file extensions so i was nameing is pc10img.zip.zip
Guess ill see what problem lies ahead. i swear i could write a 100 step write up of what i have to do for a 15 step write up.
Got it rooted. Just took all day. Could not let my phone win. LOL.
Havent spent that long on a phone since i installed android and full WP7 dual boot on my HD2.
I run xp x86 on a computer that came with vista. maybe thats why i was having a problem.
I was able to install the nand backup from my old phone right to this phone. just a million hours of tinkering. I cant imagine how frustrated the developers get trying to make these roms work. i bet there compulsive about it though.
If someone sees this please put these drivers on the how to sticky section.
All the other links either would not work for me or were broken.

XP and vista shouldn't matter with the chip architecture so long as it supports it. But then again if it didn't, it would not install at all, and if it did for some weird reason it would not boot so that wasn't your problem.
