- I think I found a fix and it was quite easy to be honest. All I did was reinstall HTC SYNC and my computer is recognizing my phone now. Only thing is, i'm pretty sure if you want to use adb you had to uninstall this.
- Another solution is to update the RADIO on your phone to the newest version. (CREDIT GOES TO HAZAKINS FOR FINDING THIS)
I successfully rooted 2.2 today with the new guide. The first rom I flashed was RevE and noticed that when I plugged in my usb, to my computer, the notification bar would show up with the option of mounting or charging and then disappear after a second. Not only that, the phone didn't charge at all while connected and the notification bar was clear and didn't tell me whether I was charging only, ect even though it usually does.
The only way I am able to access my SD card is strictly through recovery now by mounting the usb. Other than that, there is no other way for me to access my SD card. Let me be clear that YES I have tried more than one USB port and usb cable but still there has been no luck. Let me also add that it was working fine before rooting.
Also, I just flashed to CM R2 successfully and the same issue still exists. I'm not really sure what else to do.
One interesting thing, if this means anything, that I found, was that I saw the My HTC drivers in device manager only when I accessed my SD card through recovery, it never appeared when I tried to connect my phone to my computer outside of recovery.
So, I'm not really sure what else to do. I have rebooted both my phone and my computer and I am really leaning towards the fact that it may have to do with the My HTC drivers. The thing is though, add or remove programs doesn't show My HTC when my phone is connected to the homescreen. But, I did manage to uninstall it while in recovery mode and as soon as I went back to the homescreen the driver installed so fast that I couldn't stop it from installing.
So, I have no idea what to do
I just confirmed that I am not the only one with this issue in IRC. We both narrowed it down to the driver being the issue. I'm not sure how exactly I can delete it though because it only shows up for an instant and then disappears. It isn't even in add or remove programs.
When you connect your phone, try toggling the USB Debugging off and then back on. I had similar problem (not exactly the same) and this is what worked for me.

I actually had this exact same problem... all the way up until I tried a different usb port... so I guess I got lucky.
But the one port was working fine up until I put the new ROM on it. Then it stopped working. Then I had to use a different port. I was able to do that... But now after phone reboot and PC reboot, 1st usb port works fine.
I hope it starts working for you.
I did same thing having same problem, I even downloaded another rom with rom manager and installed it, still same problem. When I plug in my USB cord it will pop up for a second on the phone to ask my charge or drive the goes away before i can do anything.

OK Here is the fix, buy a mini sdcard reader copy the pc36img file to your sdcard using this reader, install back in phone boot into recovery and let it update, then startover root process, this worked for me, I haven't update to 2.2 yet, but I got usb back

My fix was to get rid of the extension USB cable extender I was using. Apparently the signal degrades too much across it. I tried 3 different extender cables too.

I tried that, it was a no go.
I had the same issue. Using Unrevoked states to uninstall the HTC sync drivers. Just reinstall them and it should charge your phone. That worked for me...

I did that, twice, and the same issue is occurring.
Also having the same problem after the 2.2 down grade.
Same problem
I can't mount my SDcard either. I followed the new video tutorial to get root on phones that came with 2.2. I think something went wrong when i got that out of memory write error. I have tried two different computers and all their usb spots. I have not been able to mount sd card yet. It does charge however. Any ideas as what to do?? Oddly enough i was able to get Amon-ra recovery flashed so doesn't that mean i have full root??
Seems like a good amount of people are having this issue. If someone comes across a fix please share!!!
Try uninstalling My HTC and HTC Installer Drivers (I forgot the exact name) and then reinstalling HTC SYNC.
Got mine to work
on some other forum someone tried flashing the radios to the newest version and fixed the problem. I tried this as well and came back here to let you guys know that it worked for me also.
here is a link to the radio files.

Easy fix: Uninstall the HTC software, then reinstall it.
This should reinstall the driver for your EVO.
the HTC software uninstall and reinstall didnt work for me. Wish it would have.

Hey guys,
I tried getting some help for this over at the Nook Color threads because it all started *after* i rooted my NC, but no one's been able to explain to me what Ive done wrong or whats happened...
So here's the sitch.
o I have ADB installed, but it only activates in device manager when the nook is plugged in, not the G2
o When the NC get usb'd to the PC, it fully registers and gives me access to the SD card on it
o .... where as the G2 just sits there and says "yay im getting power!"
o ,,,, BUT if i plug it into a HUB rather than directly into a usb port on the mobo or front, the PC (win7 x64 ult) seems to see it but doesnt know how to properly assign a driver to it and gives it UNKNOWN
o also i checked the usb-adb ini file, and it lists all my other devices in the hardware cues BUT the G2, which means it hasnt properly registered since then or never had a proper profile to begin with in the PC. It even has my older mt3G listed which I havent plugged in since all this started.
Ive tried multiple driver types, but literately, NOTHING has worked. Its like the G2 isnt even properly registering in the computer when connected. I tried a factory reset, but still no luck. Is there anything beyond a soft fact reset for an unrooted phone? I mean, i need COLD AS STONE back to day 1 reset.
Please help, I really want to root this :'<
and no, the only way now to access my sd card is to turn the thing off and use a reader. Like i said, it literately is NOT seeing it :<
Wrong section. Ask in the Q&A, not the DEV section.
Try installing HTC Sync, even though it doesnt work with the G2 because its sense based, it will install the proper drivers for you. This worked for me.
Heres the link:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=804
Another method would be install pdanet on you phone fron the Market, then install pdanet for your computer from here and it should install the drivers when you plug your phone in with pdanet app running:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
I tried the Sense link, but I couldnt find the download option for it.... anyways, heres a more precise description of the issue
When I go and install PDA Net, it loads up the drivers, but the computer literately is not even registering that a DEVICE has been plugged in via USB. I dont even get the USB connect prompt on the phone!
That's what Im saying, something is up. I need to take the cable with me and try this on another computer now that I think about it to rule out that something isnt damaged on the phone...
What ROM are you using? Gingerbread ROM's act like the (for now), at least from what I understand. I tried CM7 and sure enough - it acted just like what you're describing.

But thats the whole thing, im not using a ROM, its just the stock OS build. if i was using a ROM, id have tried removing it and reloading it, but this is on a phone that isnt even rooted yet... actually... should I try going temp root again and see if that fixes anything?
Whats the best way to do that now since I keep reading Vision got pulled away because it was damaging phones or something?
Okay, so i tried plugging it into a diff computer.... same result... so whatever it is, its the phone.
Any ideas XDA pplz?
Has it seen the g2 before? if so, get usbdeview, find the drivers in there that would be used for the g2, delete those. Snag PDANet and download that, plug the phone back in and see what ya get. You will get the pop ups again about the new software being loaded since it will have to find and reload drivers for the phone and PDANet will have the drivers you need.

Like the guy above me said, DL or re-DL the drivers (though none should be needed if you're using it as a storage drive, the comp sees it as a usb drive). Is it charging your phone when you plug it in? It's rare, but the USB cable may be bad.
The only other thing I can think of is that something went wrong and the phone isn't releasing the mount to the sdcard, in which case you should try rooting and using a different ROM or a stock rom and it should help.
Well thats the whole thing, the computer doesnt even see the USB part of it. Thats been my whole issue. The computer doesnt see the phone or the usb drive part. It straight does not see the phone at *all*! Doesnt even show up in Dev Manager, but yet it gets power. I even went and got a new micro USB cable, fresh, and still nothing.
im getting to 86 the os and reload Win7, im like super uber pissed over all this because i cant figure it out. I dont even know whats wrong >_<!
Just for kicks (because I had this exact thing happen to another phone of mine - the slide) you're rooted, which means you have clockwork right?
Reboot into recovery and go to the 'mounts' part and select 'mount usb'. Do that with it plugged into your computer and let me know if the phone shows up then. That's the only way I could put it in mass storage mode. I flashed something other than cyanogen's rom and BAM, it worked like it was supposed to (Linux did mount cyanogen though - weird).
If you want to go back to 0 day with your G2, search 'PC10img' and download it. DO NOT FLASH IT YET, you could really screw up your phone since you have s-off. Go to the wiki and scroll to the bottom, it tells you how to get s-on. Once you can verify that you have s-on, proceed to flashing the pc10img.
Wiki
Okay, so, Im way better now. Apparently I managed to get s-off and root ability via
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837315
when i reloaded and got rooting ability, somehow, I now have a detectable sd card again.
I dont know how, I dont know why, I just know that Im going to throw CM6.1.1 onto this thing and be rocking it hard
Thanks again for all your help guys, it was awesome to know XDA really helps out its followers
EDIT:
Okay... so now Im mixed. I have a rooted phone, with CM6.1.1, but still doesnt properly recognize when plugged into the PC.
oh well, I already called TMobile and their sending me a new phone under warranty. Its gotta just be a busted port in some way for detection. I dunno. >_<
But still, thanks a lot guys. Means a lot
I just did Gingerbread ROM and lost everything. Titanium backup is not working well and at this point I will just simply be happy with getting my contacts back. Problem is i did a sync before installing the rom and now after the rom my phone is not recognized on my computer and there is no htc sync with gingerbread like on the stock rom. There has to be a way to get it to recognize my phone I have already tried reinstalling sync. Very frustrated. I figured it would work just like before but nothing has since I installed the rom :-(
You have the hboot drivers still installed, and usb debugging enabled?
Usb debugging is enabled but I am not sure about the hboot drivers. How can I check?
I am having the same issue. When I plug it to my CPU it recognizes it briefly but then nothing. When I plug it to the charger same issue charges briefly but then nothing. If I power down the phone then it will charge. I also need help please

I don't use HTC sync, however I'm fairly positive you need to be on a sense rom to use it. So I would venture out and say that you will never have success trying to get HTC sync to work on an AOSP gingerbread rom. You should sync your contacts to your Google account, very easy and convenient.

RUU(full rom):

It seems an offical version, but maybe a test one.
It includes many languages to select, e.g. Simple Chinese, English and so on..
Update before, you'd better make your phone S-off !!

I've flashed this, with out root (Don't need it). Everything is pretty solid. There's a 5th metal skin i've seen included with the incredible S, The Get more htc widgets works, quadrant gives me a 1510 or so.
Anyone who has experienced the 'input lag', where typing to fast will cause the phone to lock up for a sec then spit out the text, should know that gingerbread fixes that.
The only issue I've seen so far is the vzw app crashes constantly if you update it. If you don't update it, it's fine, but you can't access usage info.
This is 2.3.3, so it doesn't have the updated Gtalk video chat, If you root, there should be a way to install it.
excuse me for being such a noob,
i admit. the force is not strong with this young padwon..
how do i go about flashing this update to my stock unrooted dinc2?
i remember how i flashed my OG D1 but was having some troubles with this new beast,
thanks for any advice in advance boys!
This would be done through fastboot... it will will recognize the leak as a real update and flash for you.
But in doing so, like it has been said in other posts: You will lose the capacity to root with Alpharex.
no renaming the file to update.zip or anything? nothings poping up through the fastboot screen other than the standard options
does it do a wipe or is it an actual update (No Data Loss)?

The installer warns of a full data wipe, but i cannot get the ruu installer to find my phone connected to the system...anyone have any insight?
would it be possible to go back to froyo once s-off is released? i do want to check this out but not at the expense of not being ready for s-off once it is made public.

This is what I did using win7 x64: *BECAUSE I DO NOT CARE FOR ROOT*
First, download the latest version on HTC sync... it has all the drivers you need, and takes care of error 171 (when the phone reboots and the RUU is waiting)
Next, enable USB debugging, this takes care of error 170. You can do this by going to menu>settings>applications>development
If you encounter any other errors, try running the RUU program as admin, and using vista sp2 compatablity mode.
Edit: also, no you don't have reboot into fastboot. The RUU program does some initial checks (software ver. battery %, other bs) then reboots the phone for you.

YES. you lose all data (text, phone log, programs).
The programs reinstalls automagically for the most part though, since it's backed up with android market. I thought that wifi passwords would be backed up with this system as well (it does with CM7) but no dice.

So grab the file.. Then what?
where does the file go? Assuming it's on the SD card? (Sorry, first HTC phone since G1) and then once the phone is detected and in USB debugging then what?
@cougar618, besides for that typing lag fix you mentioned, are there any other upgrades/changes that you noticed so far? i'm real curious and want to check this out but also so eager for root... AHHH!!!!

You don't put it on your SD card. The File is actually an EXE file, you run it on your computer. .. it took me quite a while to figure that out when I had the OG inc lol. so dl the file, dl the HTC sync and install for the drivers, and run the RUU program that you dl.
For me, the Typing lag fix was the sole reason for me to install the GB update. asides from that, GPS seems to work much better, and it seems very stable. Batter life is not that geat, but it was not that great for me on froyo (I use my phone as an mp3 player, etc).
and a bit off topic, but I can't check partial wake usage on GB. Anyone with froyo able to? I tried with spare parts, and I know there's a code you can dial, but can't find it.
what's partial wake usage?

Ok.
According to some including Droid Life, you need to be root to install the RUU? Is that true?

False.
There are two files out there, one on this forum by jcase, for rooted users, and the official RUU from HTC, that removes the root exploit someone found. once rooted, you can do S-off, which allows for you to root the phone later.
As i've said, I don't care for root, so I just used the RUU from htc.
Please do some more research on this before trying anything...
Also, off topic again, partial wake usage is when the cpu is woken from sleep for an application, such as listening to music.
alright guys here we go.
i figured it out ! LOL
you must install the htc sync program so that your DINC2 and SYNC link up through your WINDOWS based pc.
after that you download the RUU in the original post,
run it and it will open on its own.
that is all you gotta do.
however,
I do not think there is a way to uniinstall this update and it has been mentioned that this build may NOT link to future ota's
can anyone provide more insight on the ota part?
I'm going to be one sad panda if i can't get any updates because i jumped the gun with this RUU

Make sure you have the latest drivers from Samsung installed on your PC. Reboot the phone, reboot the PC, start as fresh as you can. Best way to go about it is to Odin EC05, One Click root with CM3 (purple version) and go from there.
Check the stickied thread with the old stickies in it, you'll find everything you need in there. And last but not least, for the love of everything holy, don't use the stock cord. Get something decent, blackberry cables seem to work the best for me. Make sure the port you're plugged into on your PC is on the back (so it's direct into the board) not one of the front ones.
Well first off, having the thread title as "???" does not help anyone with searching for answers.
I'm trying to understand your situation: So you say you were on Eclair and rooted, and then was able to upgrade to Froyo while rooted? That's not possible. The update would have failed after seeing a file system mismatch.
For Eclair and Froyo, the 1-click root method works. However, for Gingerbread you have to Odin a custom kernel and recovery, then install the Superuser app. Once you have CWM installed you can flash any EL30 rom you wish. The modem is upgraded manually. Look in the dev section for the sticky thread that has the thread link in it.

To follow up on your Odin woes: use a different USB port that is directly on the motherboard; and a different cable.
