[Q] Help with rooting - stuck with unrevoked

Hi,
I'm trying to root my phone. I'm up to the step where I install unrevoked and run it.
When I do I get the message:
Waiting for device. Plug phone in now and enable USB debugging.
I have my phone plugged in and USB Debugging is enabled, but nothing happens.
The drivers I needed to download would not install until I booted my phone into hboot. (Then it showed the android 1.0 device so I installed the drivers).
I've rebooted my phone now, and I have tried connecting both as HTC Sync and as a Disk Drive (on the phone).
I believe HTC Sync has been completely removed from my computer, so I'm stuck at where to go next. Can someone help please?
Edit: When I connect using 'HTC Sync' as the method on the phone, I get an Unknown Device appear in my list of drivers. I can't install the 'drivers' provided with Unrevoked here. Have I missed a step?
Thanks & Regards

Never mind - found the problem. I uninstalled both HTC Sync and HTC Driver installer. Once I put HTC Driver installer back on, all ran like clockwork. (I needed to also choose HTC Sync on the phone when connecting the USB Cable).

[ADB] Device cannot be started (Code 10)

For some odd reason, I lost adb functionality (i.e. any adb command issued receives "error: device not found"). I looked in Device Manager and noticed that MyHTC was gone! I looked at my phone and USB debugging was enabled and in charge only. I could put it in USB Drive mode and the PC would recognize it as a USB Mass Storage Device so that I could exchange and view files but no adb.
I searched and searched on this issue for hours and installed over a half a dozen "androidusb.inf" driver files several times over. Every install generated the Code 10 error where Device Manager was lacking some information from the driver file and could not start the device. I reinstalled HTC Sync and gave that a try...nothing. Downloaded USBDeview and uninstalled all HTC drivers including the HTC Android USB Device and tried again to no avail. WTF?! What else am I supposed to do?
Well, in a "what the hell, let's give it a try" kind of moment, I decided to toggle the USB debugging off and then back on (and yes, it was checked and on the whole time). WORKS!!! WHAT THE CRAP?!! MyHTC is back in Device Manager and everything is back to normal. I'm glad but irritated!
I share this story in hopes that if someone else stumbles on this problem, they will not have to go through the same headache as I did. Just thought this was odd considering how many times I have plugged and unplugged and never had any problems with adb.
Toggle USB Debugging....so simple. *rolleyes*

Same Issue
I've got the same issue on my EVO 4G. Just installed the latest CM7 and now it tell me device not recognized. If I manually install the drivers it gives me the same code 10. I can't bring up the phone as a storage device and toggling the debugging is not working. Any ideas?

You installed the hboot drivers correctly?
Boot into recovery, with usb debugging enabled, connect to pc, it should install the drivers.

Still the same
Even when I reboot into recovery it still gives me "USB Device not recognized." I previously had MikFroyo on my phone with no problems. I'm at a loss.

You most likely have a bad cable, do you have another one you can try?

Possibility
Not at the moment but that may explain it. Still seems weird for it to just go out right as I change to CM7, but still a possibility. I am going to run and grab my other cable. Thanks for the advice.

No Luck
The new USB cable didn't fix the problem. Also, in device manager, even with the driver installed its labeled as "unknown device."
If I boot into hboot the computer recognizes it.
**update: After rebooting from the hboot, my phone is recognized by the computer however, a disk drive is not coming up in "my computer." I have USB storage turned on but Im not getting anything.**
Any help would be much appreciated!

Sad Day
Apparently the Micro USB port on the bottom of my phone is going bad... I talked with some other people who've had the same problem. HTC knows that the ports aren't very sturdy as well. Well... sad day for me.
Also if you're getting the notice from windows saying that you your device will run faster in a 2.0 usb port and you know the port is 2.0 ... chances are your port is going bad as well.
*****UPDATE*****
Flashed to MikFroyo and none of the above stated problems. I would venture that it was CM7 but apparently everyone else is able to use it so who knows.

Now again I am using Windows 7 so the steps are almost exactly the same. I literally just changed the device to a USB Mass Storage device and it worked!
Lol after trying so many drivers and it being the generic driver makes me angry. Here's what I did.
1. Right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
2. Go to Device Manager
3. Find your My HTC (should be the second one Android USB Device), right click on it and select Update Driver Software
4. Then select Browse My Computer for Software
5. Then choose Let Me Pick which driver to install on the bottom.
6. Then choose USB Mass Storage Device
Then it takes some time to think and viola! All working! However we are not DONE!
EDIT: So the next step I did after experienced issues remounting after unplugging the phone. I have change the MTP to ADB Testing Interface and things seem to be mounting everytime. Rebooted phone and PC, both worked again so I think this may be a working solution.
Now go to MTP.
1. Right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
2. Go to Device Manager
3. Find your MTP (should be under Unknown Devices), right click on it and select Update Driver Software
4. Then select Browse My Computer for Software
5. Then choose Let Me Pick which driver to install on the bottom.
6. Then choose Google Inc. and the Driver is ADB Testing Interface.
ENJOY!

Thanks ALOT
This definitely work I was gonna blow up my Windows computer, but this saved it... lol

I did something similar to that cuz I couldn't find some of the stuff when I choose "let me pick." But at the end I have two drivers under Android Phone that says the exact same thing in device manager and everything works!

Sorry but what is MTP?
I don't have Google Inc in my list?

I have both Mytouch4g and MTP listed in Other in device manager.
I also don't have Google Inc in my list? Can someone tell me how to get Google Inc in the list?

I'm on XP and I show two devices labeled Android ADB Interface. When I go to properties, the location for one of them shows LOCATION 0 and the location for the other shows LOCATION 0 (myTouch 4G).
Which one do I want to uninstall/change drivers for?
Btw my computer detected the device just fine on it's own and adb works but mass storage doesn't. Maybe I should just leave well enough alone?

Try the mtp steps first guys. That worked for me. Also, before doing the mtp steps I only had to go to adb interface then select Google Inc then adb interface again. Netbook with win7. Wtf is starter? Lmfao

I dont have xp i have windows 7. it took me a couple of tries but i just kept uninstalling and reconnecting the phone so that the devices show again. for the htc driver I pick mass storage just like he said after update driver. For MTP i had to pick android phone and then pick adb usb driver and it worked. I didnt want the mytouch one just sitting there without it working so i searched for a driver for that and picked the htc driver for that.. it all works!! thanks option94

[Q] How can I make my HTC Desire Z connect to a PC?

After I bought a new HTC Desire Z, I am completely unable to connect to computer. By "unable to connect" I mean, that I was unable to connect neither as a storage device nor through HTC Sync.
Just to be sure I tried to connect with another cable (stock one failed, after all) and with both Windows 7 (64-bit) and Debian (Wheezy). Meanwhile I could successfully connect with my Nook Color (and my previous phone, Samsung i551 if that matters).
The phose itself works just fine, it works flawlessly in all respect but connecting to PC. It reads from 32GB MicroSD card without problems - but each time I want to access card, I need to pull it out, and that's kind of bother.
My original goal was to root the phone, and install CWM, and then CM9, but since I am unable to connect, I cannot execute ADB commands...
On Debian I tried to acomplish it by installing ADB, and downloading ALL packages - didn't help much. I've got the newest version of JDK and JVM, so that's not the case. And, as I mentioned before, NC connects just fine so HTC should do it as well.
Then I tried with Win7. Just like on Linux I downloaded all ADB packages. Next, I installed HTC Sync, and then tried to connect - with no effect. Then I removed HTC Sync leaving only drivers (I found somewhere, that I should do it this way). Still no use. Turning off antivirus didn't help either.
Each time I also tried both: with and without "USB Debugging" option, with or without MicroSD card, with or without fastboot*.
Trying out a variety of advices, I found on the internet, I found out that:
1) phone displays information that it is connected to the computer only after I reboot it while leaving cable connected - PC still doesn't notices it though (and neither does ADB),
2) mentioned notification comes only with stock cable - any other will only cause phone to reboot and charge without any notification,
3) while following some "USB Brick" tutorial I learned, that I also cannot go into fastboot mode*, because I doesn't have/have invalid pc10diag.zip file (and some others similarly-named files),
4) my phone is S-Off though,
5) as one would expect Unrevoked couldn't help.
Factory reset didn't change a thing. Sending phone back is also not an option, since I bought it in another country (it was sent to me from Singapore).
The only thing I didn't tried is connecting phone to another PC, but I highly doubt that it will change anything.
I already run out of ideas, and I would be glad if anyone could lead me to some solution. If there some way (root/flash from SD card?), I would be really grateful to know it.
* - When I talk about the first one, I mean that option in Settings>Applications>Fast boot, the other one I mean is option in hboot.

Do you have the sync version from the desire z website? I noticed the version on the desireZ page is not the same as the standard version on the htc website. I did have the same problem. After i changed the sync version I was able to connect in sync. After that I used the tools and turtial.pdf of the strawmetal website
Send from my Desire Z

yep, use the drivers in strawetals pdf guide (google search strawmetal pdf g2 root) or cyanogen wiki or xda wiki. you may need to uninstal curent drivers first than manually reinstall them.
the bit about only oem cable works is a bunch of ... but it is true that some ultra cheap pos cables may only work to charge due to poor design, but its very unlikely

I have had standard version. After your suggestion I tried to check the one on Desire Z page (www . htc . com/www/help/htc-desire-z/#download) but it seems, that now its the same version as the one I had before (URL address is exactly the same). I tried then removing drivers completely, tried this one -> www . theandroidsource . com/g2-desire-z-root-rooting-roms-hacks-overclocking-etc/555-latest-htc-g2-desire-z-sync-driver-download.html, and rebooted - no difference, neither sync nor storage mode works.

The site with driver referred by both, strawmetal tutorial and xda wiki, no longer exists and instead redirect to general support page. CyanogenMod Desire Z rooting page currently doesn't have any information about drivers... Could you tell me what version number you have? I would google it, and at least check whether it's driver thing or not.
BTW, are you able to see anything Android/HTC related in Device Manager? Apparently, on Vista there should be something like "Android Device"/"Unrecognized Android Device" (depending on whether or not drivers are present). But I don't see anything in Windows 7, no "installing driver", no new position in Device Manager, when I connect the phone. Also no information about failed driver installation or unrecognized devices. That is why I thought, that maybe I got USB bricked phone :/

this is a thread I made on setting up adb/fastboot for the vision, on about the tird post there is alink to the drivers needed for this, use these.
if you don't getting -new devices found loading drivers- then either you didn't uninstall the old ones properly or there is something wrong with cable, port on phone, or port on computer

That driver didn't help. I tried to conect NookColor with stock HTC cable and it connected. I guess it must be something with phone's USB... :/ I'll look into "USB Brick fix" tutorials, maybe they will help.

well if your sure you uninstalled any old drivers than try cleaning the usb port on your phone, maybe compressed air a little electric parts cleaner (battery out) make sure the pins don't looked damaged, etc. also see if any drivers try to pop up and install when plugging in when is in recovery or bootloader

[Q] Still Can't connect to Win7 PC (driver issues?)

Hi there.
I picked up a refurbed Incredible 2 (running 2.3.4) and am trying to get it to connect to PC so I can move files across between the PC and either internal memory and/or microSD cards. I'm having no luck on Windows 7.
I changed the Default Connection Type from Charge Only to Media Sync / Disk Drive / HTC Sync (after installing the HTC Sync software - NOT the HTC Sync Manager, which apparently only supports the newer phones) to no avail. I've tried them all, and they all have the same issue. I've done this both with and without USB debugging checked, and with "Unknown Sources" ("allow installation of non-Market apps") checked. I've also tried uninstalling Sync, installing Sync Manager, trying again (no change), and then reversing it (uninstalling Manager, and reinstalling Sync) - again, no change. Sync does not see the phone while connected and in "HTC Sync" mode via the Default Connection Type (or anything else).
When I plug the phone in to the PC the PC shows a "USB Device not recognized" and sometimes I will get a "Driver did not install successfully" message. Device Manager is showing one Unknown Device with a "!" issue under the USB controllers category I'm assuming is the problem. There is also nothing showing up under the Disk Drives category in my Device Manager other than my hard disk, even though some of the guides I'm looking at say I should have something related to the phone in there.
I've tried connecting it with 2 different USB cables, just in case the one that came with it was not fully functional. I've used the second cable for data transfer in the past, so it should work. No difference.
I've restarted several times, with and without the microSD card installed. I've tried unmounting and remounting the card as well, no difference.
Am I missing some kind of Win7 drivers for the Incredible 2 that are not installed automatically and/or with the HTC Sync install? I've seen some references and links to HTC drivers that are apparently not on the HTC site, but I am very leery of downloading an .EXE from a random website and just installing it to see if it works. I'd think if this was necessary, it would be on the HTC site.
Anyone know what gives here? I can't think of anything else to try.
Am I a complete newb here, or is this potentially an issue with the refurb'ed phone?
Thank you very much for any assistance!

I use the driver linked on the revolutionary.io site (http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe) and I have never had an issue.

update
Hi there.
I attempted this, but still no change. Do you know where this installs the drivers to, so I might try to manually point the Device Manager "Unknown Device" to them?
When I try to update the driver via Device Manager, however, it is telling me the following:
"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
'Unknown Device'
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)"
Thank you for any further assistance or ideas.

Doesn't matter where you place them but you'll need to go to control panel/system/device manager find the device with the issue and select update driver.... Then it should be recognized

OP - do you have any other USB device drivers for other smartphone(s) installed on your PC? If so, uninstall all of them and reboot it clean.
Assumed that you are running VZW stock software - phone isn't rooted ?
Is your HTC Installer running this version - 3.0.0.007 - that's mine (have it running on W7 Pro and Ultimate on desktop & 2 laptop, no problems for me - I also have it running Win 8.
Uninstall HTC Installer & reboot - without connecting the phone. Turn off firewall & antivirus on your PC temporary, reconnect the phone & follow the prompts to reinstall HTC drivers. Once it's done, disconnect the phone & power down the computer.
Restart the PC and then reconnect the DI2 to it, hopefully - it will recognize the phone and allow you to connect & recognize the mSD card for data transfer, etc.
Please post any specific error messages as you see them. Good luck.

A common cause of "unrecognized USB device" is a bad cable. Try another. Or, try a different USB port on your PC.
