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.

Dave

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).

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. now I,ve spent probably about 24 hours during the past three days trying to root the thing. made a gold card after about 10 attempts, have tried and tried to root the thing, have tried 3 or 4 different methods, most fail becase either I loose USB connection to the fone when navigating to Bootloader. From there on in she all over rover. Actually I,m not sure I have the right ROM to add to the fone, but I,d really like to get to the point where it asks for the rom. I,ve aged about 10 years since embarking on this venture, and still the thing is as bought. The phone isnt branded, bought it thru ebay from Hong Knog I think, has asian english which aint no fun. Have loaded Morelocal2 on but it still aint nice.
Can someone who has rooted one of these with similar ver software email me whith there secrets please before I go totally insane or really root the thing against a brick wall.
Cheers Guys.
Try the tutorial in my sig (second link). You should have no problems rooting with that.
It provides you with the required downloads for rooting. Just download and flash your ROM of choice in place if the 'rootedupdate.zip' file.
Please state any errors you recieve while attempting root.

I,ve tried your link, now my wife has been helping me, she cant get it to install either, I,ve even got to the stage of watching in Device manager what happens when it goes into Bootloader/recovery mode. the link between the HTC and the computer breaks,SOOOOOOO as I,ve stated before I have a very good understanding on HOW to root the thing, its just that for some reason I cant keep the phone connected thru the USB . I think this is the only prob I have. Something else that also happens is I get a Customer ID failed message half way thru step 1
What ever system I try to use to root this thig thats where I end up.
Wifie is going to try one more time, this time we are going to try the fone with a default startup to look at the disc not the HTC Syn.
Please keep trying to help guys

So there we go guys, thats it in a nut shell
Try using the TinyCore method, I had all sorts of issues in Windows but this worked first time...see this post...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6710081&postcount=2
obviously download the right Live CD for your bootloader
Also if you are trying to root in windows, make sure you have HTC Sync installed.
Desire root
Yep, I,m using the tiny core app followed the instructions in the link as advised. Still loses connection at bootlader/recovery
When you get back to Bootloader, how long do you wait before trying to run? As I normally leave it 5 or so seconds and then it's fine...if you do it too quick it'll say no device found
Which TinyCore CD did you download? I'm assuming you have HBOOT 0.80 on your device before you started?
Rooting a desire
An answer to your question, I,m using the tcl_r4_desire_hb80 file. when you ask how long are you waiting , I reckon it taks me more than 5 seconds to type in sudo ./step2.sh
I could try it again and wait longer.
Desire a rooted phone
Nope sorry guys, I,ve tried god dam everything, still wont connect afetr step 1 with tcl_r4_desire_hb80.
Somehow I need to be able to force a usb connection.
hey I tried this on Vista and XP, thought XP might be better. is there a stand alone app to force USB drivers when tcl_r4_desire_hb80 boots into termial screen
If you have done step 1, is it possible after failed attempts at getting into the recovery, you have usb bricked it?
Try switching it on normally and see if you have normal usb connectivity, and the sd card mounts and works fine?

I too was thinking that there is a possibility of his device being bricked, especially when receiving errors indicating that the device cannot be found in recovery.
Rooting desire
OK, wondered that myself,
connected phone to PC, sync straight away with fone
reconnected it to pc in disk drive mode and connected, checked in My Computer and the disc drive was there with all my files.
Suppose that means everything there is ok to
OK if it isn't usb bricked then it's got to be a driver issue. My suggestion would be to follow the tutorial in the dev section and use tiny core linux.
Rooting desire
OK guys,,, so heres where I,m at, so far all info gained from you lovely people has been to no avail.
What I,m getting is this
In device manager I am watching what happens when the Desire goes from fastboot to bootloader. In bootloader I get "Android 1.0 with the yellow tiangle indicating it aint set up with drivers. In fastboot I get "My HTC" under Android USB Devices. now in either Bootloader or fastboot I,m only getting one or the other, and as I said, the triangle under "Android 1.0"
Now Ive gone to Android 1.0 and tried to add a driver, seemingly thers not a driver in the world that will work with Android 1.0. All driver in my Sdk dont work. The driver installer asks for a driver but wont except anything trown at it.
First, via your phone, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development and ensure the USB Debugging option is selected.
Try a different USB port.
I actually think you need to create a Gold Card even though you have stock rom 1.19.707.7
Try the Gold Card.

I have the exact same issue on win.7 64bit.
Try ignoring the no android 1.0 issue, continue to put your phone into recovery with the volume down and power buttons. Wait about 10 seconds after you see the black screen with red triangle, and then click on recovery windows.bat. Works for me everytime.
Windows takes it's time to see and install devices so it may be that you are trying things too quickly after connecting the usb lead.
hi,first post on this section . upgraded from the desire bravo,could do with some advice..
purchased a used dhd in good condition,changed housings etc,its running the latest htc 3.12.405.1 sense 3.0 android 2.3.5 .after a good search i realised i would have to downgrade to s-off etc.
my problem is i can't get into fast boot power down volume,pulled battery tried lots of times.
pc will not recognise dhd,installed drivers etc,should be able to sort that one out myself.
but i cant work out why i cant get into fastboot,the phone just restarts
thanks mark
Hi,
Download HTC Sync and install that, that contains all the required USB drivers needed.
As for getting into fastboot, have you disabled HTC "Fastboot"? Its in a setting somewhere. Possibly under Settings>Applications or Settings>Development. Make sure that is unticked.
If you take your battery out & reinsert, hold vol down then press power. That should do it for you. If not, enable USB Debugging and use adb to get into the bootloader with,
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You will need the SDK or a thinned down adb package. Which you can grab from HERE.
You will need the USB drivers for that to work.
EDIT: Just re-read your post. If you have HTC Sync installed and you still cannot get it detected then there maybe an issue with either the handset or your computer. Check "Device Manager" when its plugged in to see if there is a conflict.
htc sinc was allready on pc from desire bravo,well just the drivers.have tried the htc fastboot uncheck earlier no good,re installed htc sinc as i thought it may be different for dhd,but its not.
pc will not pick up device,says drivers not installed.i know they are as the bravo worked fine.
i had read somewhere that unrooted dhd can be usb bricked,there is a fix by some french chap on here,but i cant do that because cant get into fastboot.
need to get into fastboot first i think,to see whats what,device could allready be s-off dont know.
strange
edit: volume button was not working correctly lol, s-on,now to sort out the drivers,downgrade and flash a nice rom
Hello hoping someone can help, I'm a noob have not had much success in rooting yet...
Have a wildfire (Australian Telstra 3G)
Trying to downgrade firmware from HBOOT 1.01.0002 to 1.010001 so i can get s-off.
I'm following the instructions posted in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132028
I've downloaded htc drivers (and uninstalled htc sync)as per instructions
Also loaded android drivers via device manager (screen dump attatched)
I can "talk" to my SD card OK with windows explorer but i don't think I am "talking to my phone or card via adb and the command prompt"
Got the full SDK package installed.
All the obvious things.. Andrtoid debugging enabled / Charge only
So When I attempt to run Step 1 bat I get the following error message:adb server is out of date..killing..*daemon server started successfully... error device not found..(screen dump attatched)
also i tried to make a "goldcard" and extract the serial no of the sd card on the phone. . same deal.. as soon as i get into adb ....error. device not found
note i am using windows 7.
my theory is that i'm don't have a propper usb link when i go into the dos cammand prompt/adb but i have loaded the drivers. I think this is happening when i try to root other phones also (eg zte blade)
can anyone help me. be kind to me I'm a noob...I've attatched three relevant screen dumps

Thanks eventcom, but I've followed that link and numrerous others and they all follow the same theme.
here is the problem as I see it...
1/I have installed the android driver when in hboot and it works ok as per attatched image
2/ I have installed htc_sync_setup 3.2.20.exe which is the latest driver availiable from the htc website.I then uninstall HTC sync, which leaves HTC driver installer & HTC BMP USB driver remaining as installed ( as per instructions)
3/ I have uninstalled any other USB programs which might conflict including Itunes and ascociated garbage (no i didn't put it there my kids did!).
USB debugging is turned on & when i plug in USB i go charge only (as per instructions)
Here's a hint...
When I execute an adb commandwithin command prompt eg [adb devices] i get no devices. When I issue a adb copy command I get the result "device not found" I'm know i'm going nowhere on this until I can get device to properly talk via adb and this is the assistance that i am seeking
further info.
I've tried this procedure on another (winxp) machine with same results.
Ive tried this procedure on another wildfire "s" (that is already rooted) same results
I've temporarily disabled the AVG 2012 virus protection & firewall.
As well as being in the directory that the file adb.exe exists I have also installed SDK so adb appears to run in any directory (please explain ?)
If i plug in usb and go "mount sd card" I can access the sd card on the phone viawindows explorer . in my mind this tells me that I have correct usb driver working.
I've tried a different usb cable AND a different phone
before I uninstalled htc sync i tried it out. it doesn't work and the phone won't sync up to this program ( it rarely works this program, tried it on numerous pc with different htc devices and more often than not it doesn't work)
I'm hoping that someone who is experienced in adb can help me get the phone talking with my pc, keeping in mind that I've done almost everything that I can think of to get my phone to "talk: via usb cable and issue commands. If I can't get my phone to communicate via adb then there is no way I can get past step one
please help me

i shall do my very best
ok so what system are you currently running? (win7,vista,xp ect)
are you using the stock usb cable that came with the phone?
when you connect the device to the pc with usb debugging turned on do you get the usb debugging notification in your status bar on the phone?
when you plug your device into the pc with debugging enabled what does your device manager recognize it as? mine shows up as attached...
did your antivirus flag up when you were installing the skd or downloading the adb.exe?
Success with debranding but problems with Revolutionary recovery
Thank you heavy_metal_man.
I finally solved the USB driver issue. I ended up completely uninstalling HTC driver installer & HTC BMP USB driver. I then installed HTCDriver3.00.007.exe as a stand alone only. Finally I got it to recognise in device manager.
Important lesson learned. Installing the latest HTC driver off the website which is htc_sync_setup_3.2.20 (which installs 3 modules HTC Sync, HTC driver installer & HTC BMP USB driver) then uninstalling HTC sync did not work for me...I now just have HTC driver installer only.
I asked to install clockwork mod during the revolutionary process, but I suspect it didn't work
Anyway I have now succesfully debranded and "sort of" have root. my Hboot screen now looks like this...

Problem is when I go into recovery I get the "revolutionary CWM V4.0.1.4" Menu... So far so good.however When I select any item EG bacup & restore, intead of going to the next level menu it just goes to a revolutionary screen with no menu and just hangs. pressing the power button takes me back a level but the vol+ vol- buttons do nothing as there is no menu to select from.
So i can't flash with this current screen. the only way I can get out of it is to remove the battery as the reboot & power off menu items do not work.
.
I have tried re-running the revolutionary Exe file again. It prompts me if i would liketo install CWM and I say yes . It says it's done and takes me into Fastboot USB where I can reboot. but CWM ( The wierd revolutionary model) DOES not work like the CWM that i am accustomed to...
So i STILL can't flash CM7...but I'm getting closer...

That's ok , power is meant to do that, its the back button you need to use the trackball to select stuff also if I remember correctly that recovery has an issue where it will not charge the phone when it is turned off, so I would update that asap I shall give you a link when I'm out of bed, but for the mean time, backup, wipe everything and install cm7+ gapps
ok here is the most up tp date cwm recovery for the buzz as far as i know. and here is the thread it came from something to note, when you jump up tp gingerbread the type of recovery changes as well, so, the new one will not flash sense roms unless the rom has been designed for the new edify type recovery. not sure how many support this though. also the new recovery will NOT flash radios. it does not play well with others but you can always downgrade your recovery temporarily if you need to, or use the rom manager app (which ic an app interface for the recovery) to flash what you need

I guess I shouldv'e read the instructions on flashing a bit closer. I've also got a wildfire "s" as well and it uses the power button to enter so I suppose I just assumed...Truth is that I've only just got this phone last week and I didn't even realise that it had a trackball button ...
This is my first ever root/flash that I have done and I have learned alot from the experience. I specifically got this phone ($10 on ebay) so I coul;d learn to do this without the risk of damaging my own phone. This phone had "issues" when I bought it which is why i got it so cheap. now I have upgraded to CM7 it the issues (eg wireless hotspot would not remain on) have gone.
Soon I hope to have the experience and courage to flash my own phone and my kids phones.

Hi All,
I need help to root and S-OFF my phone. The issue is that my USB charging post does not work (PC and other laptops do not detect it). I have read the Welcome to the HTC Desire (Bravo) Troubleshooting Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632) and followed Section 11, at step number 7, I am unable to boot into recovery - all i get is a black screen with a red triangle /!\?
My phone is not recognized by the PC when selecting "Disc Drive", "HTC Sync". Have tried fastboot and I also tried Unrevoked, does not detect phone, have made sure usb debugging is on, any ideas - help and guidance will be appreciated.

so your micro usb port on your phone is damaged and cannot transfer data?
that method won't work
"#NOTES: MUST BE BOOTED INTO ROM, ONLY TESTED ON FROYO AND S-OFF"
you can't do step 7, because step 6 will fail. it can't flash a recovery because you are not s-off yet.
have you installed all the relevant drivers for the phone to be detected? install htc sync, then uninstall it but leave the htc drivers.
at a minimum you will need your phone to be recognised by PC. then use revolutionary to s-off. follow the guides.
Hi
Thanks for the reply's. It may be that the USB port is damaged.
I have installed HTC Sync and uninstalled it,not removing the drivers.
Is there a way to root without USB, say using the micro SD card?

not sure to be honest. so when you connect, computer can't see it or connect at all, you can't browse your sd card? it still charges though, so usb port is not completely broken.
have you tried another micro usb cable / laptop with drivers installed / sd card just to be sure?
you will almost certainly need it to be detected by pc to s-off/root etc. the software needs to communicate with the phone. have another look at the guides to see if they have another workaround.
Hi
Used another cable to check computer connection, still no joy, phone not recognized and does not charge phone anymore
I have read the guides, they all want PC access, do just asking if anyone knew of a different solution?

well if your phone doesn't charge anymore you need to look at the bigger picture. you need a working usb port regardless, at a minimum to charge the device! even if you s-off / root etc if it's not going to last one charge!
send for repair if it's under warranty, or find out how much it would cost for someone to repair it. there are probably guides out there to change it yourself if you're adventurous.
once it's repaired and working, you can s-off root etc properly
