I was trying to put the hum/hiss sound fix on my sd card and I cannot get my pc to connect via USB...
My wife has a TP2 and it connects fine...
I have tried with/without the sd card in, rebooted the pc and phone, rebooted the phone while connected to the pc.... nothing...
wtf...
anyone else with this problem?
PS... NRGZ28 had posted a very basic rom for booting to android back in Feb and it is now gone from hotfile. Anyone know of a quick boot into android?
- Try a different computer
- Try a hard reset
That are the first thing you should do.
Tried hard reset...
Dif PC is not an option at the moment... I have rebooted...
Just flashed the ROM (NRGZ newest, thank goodness I had it on my SD card) and I still cant get it to sync...
I have attached the USB error I am getting... (Win7, new install)
The phone is not asking if I want to active sync or use as storage???? wtf...

Reboot your PC? lol bet your tried that already...
Try this:
settings > connections > usb to pc > and disable Faster Data Sync then try. This way uses the generic usb drivers and maybe it will connect.
That did not work...
How do I get my Win7 laptop to see the phone with Android on it?

dont think thats working yet
Ya I don't think that works yet, it's tied to Android software drivers and the use of the USB port, since there is no drivers to control the port only to charge battery. Windows thinks there is something there, but the phones USB can't communicate back....I think this is the issue or at lease after playing around with it on my phone anyway
Not that it's a huge amount of help but might troubleshoot down to the hardware level...if you go into bootloader mode on the phone and connect to USB does it connect?
I don't think you should go that deep and dirty. My touch pro 2 works only with only 1 (non-HTC) cable of the 10 i have at home, all are the "standard" mini-USB but only one works flawlessly for communicating/flashing/syncing, the other cables either do the same error - device not recognized - or windows says that the device could communicate faster - and only copies files slowly.
All in all: you should simply check with another USB cable or if you have the factory HTC cable try it with that. I noticed that the cable i am using other than the HTC one is a very good quality thick (low-resistance and double-shielded) USB cable and it never failed on me.
One other thing you should definitely watch for: plug the USB cable into the motherboard USB port directly (on the back of the PC where you plug the keyboard, mouse etc.), sometimes PC cases with front panel USB outputs simply die, or are wrongly attached to the motherboard USB header and it can cause the aforementioned problems too, not to mention if it is wrongly attached it could harm your phone too.

Since Internals of diamond2 and blackstone are quite similar, this release for Diamond 2 is working fine on Blackstone.
I'm just putting together what I've gathered from different sources on XDA-Developers, other sites and my own expirence on 1st post so that people don't have to wade thru numerous posts to get the solution.
Enjoy!!
I've installed Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6)

Instructions :
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_HD_Blackstone_(Android)
Download one of the following files
http://uploading.com/files/ce8125aa/PSfreedom-HTC-Touch-Pro1-2-et-Diamond-1-2.zip/
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=21QCE6QO
Instructions
Install Xandroid 2.2
Extract archive & copy content to your SD Card (zImage / modules)
Run Haret with USB connection on your computer
Disconnect USB from your PC once Xandroid is booted
Run Terminal Emulator from DevTools on Android
Type the following command :
command #1 : su
command #2 : cd sdcard
command #3 : insmod psfreedom.ko
command #4 : exit
command #5 : exit (at this point Terminal Emulator will stop responding, but don’t worry)
Plug it in powerless PS3 (FAT should be turned off from the power switch, SLIM’s power source should be disconnected)
Plug in Slim, or in case of FAT flip the power switch on.
PS3 Power on and eject button ritual (It should be 2-3 beeps when eject button is pressed, else you'll have to switch off PS3 and start the ritual again)Also make sure that nothing else is plugged into another USB port.
PS3 will take 3-5 seconds before showing up anything on the screen.
Enjoy your jailbreak’d PS3
Btw if anyone is interested in backing up there games and playing them from hdd , use this patched psfreedom.ko
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E2J6E55H
Unknown USB Device error:
If you are getting "Unknown USB Device detected" it means "Jailbreak" did not work
probable reasons:
1. check your firmware, make sure you are on 3.41 and automatic updates as well as login to PSN is disabled.
2. Console should be started from powerless state.
3. Some other USB device was attached while booting PS3 besides the Blackstone. Remove the ext HDD or USB stick and try again.
4. Timing were not correct , try it again. Should hear 2-3 short beeps when eject button is pressed after the power button.

I've formatted my HDD (FAT32)
I've downloaded a game, there's 2 maps in there PS3_Game and PS3_Update
I though I should make 1 folder with those 2 maps, and that map into the GAMEZ folder.
But when I go in to backup manager the only game I see is Mafia 2, and that's because the disc is inserted
Anyone got a working link to the "patched" .ko? Looks like it's been removed.
Is there a way to downgrade the firmware of my ps3? I need to do it because yesterday I updated the firmware and just today I saw it was already crackable with my blackstone with froyo 2.2...
I suppose, I'll just have to wait for a new release of of PSFreedom for 3.42 ps3 firmware...
didnt work !..
i did every stpe
the ps3 firmware 3.41, Xandroid 2.2 and already copied the content to the sdcard but nothing happend !?
anyone try it and work?
can anyone post video tutorial?
I disconnected the internet cable before starting and make the process. Maybe help.
Success!!! The other psfreedom.ko totally worked for playing downloaded games.
First I had a game inserted, and when I pressed the Eject button there were no beeps. Take out the game, en start the process again (powercord out/power button) etc
Maybe that helps
Only bad thing is that you have to do it everytime you want to play.

Very happy for you Thominho It gives me hope !
I will test once arrive in my house because last night i gave up...
I tried 10 times to jailbreak, following all the steps describe by Sunish (nice wiki) but each time i got the same USB error message :/ Crap...
Tried this yesterday and it DOES work. But after I reboot the PS3, I a having trouble reactivating it.
Will document my findings. Reloading Android now.
I think, although I'm not positive, you have to boot Haret everytime connected to a PC.
If you dont, it doesnt seem to work. Is this correct?
Damn! I got it working and thought this would be a solution to my BD drive dying so i could play my old games - seems it requires you to have a real game inserted which in my case i can't as the BD drive wont recognise them anymore
first of all, sorry my english...
FINALLY.... yes... FINALLY, before 10 or 20 times and nothing.
I saw in a forum that if we conect the phone to pc, after the line code in terminal "insmod psfreedom.ko" we will see that pc will recognize a hub usb.
so,i did conection phone to pc, when work in terminal was finished, and he recognized a hub usb. Done
I connected the phone in ps3 and ready to go.....
for me it's the only way that put to work, without this step doesn´t worked for 10 or 20 times. in all case, i have to try 1 ou 2 times and be faster in eject button, but is better than not worked.
Howcome both maps are empty after putting the PS3 on?

That's supposed to. Get a USB stick/hard drive with the backup manager in it. Then you should see the file in one of the folders

Thanks dizzyman that worked fine for me after following your method. Great stuff guys, good job.
Phone must be connected to pc/laptop with activsync when android is booted. it leaves the USB hardware in some different state which makes the exploit possible.
once android is booted, its usb will remain in active state. even after disconnecting from pc, the power led will still be orange.
the .pkg files that are to be installed must be in the root of the usb stick or hdd
Its not necessary to have the disc inside PS3 when booting, but will certainly be required when playing a game.
I have installed and reinstalled the samsung windows drivers about four times.
My phone has not yet been activated and I'm not sure I'm going to attach it to service for the foreseeable future instead of possibly using it as an ipod touch with a keyboard.
I have connected the phone to my laptop one time. I feel asleep with the phone searching for drivers (the drivers had already been installed but the status bar message said it was searching anyway) and when I woke up it seemed fully connected. I was able to cwm3 root the phone but bricked it I think by putting an ext4 filesystem on without moving immediately to an ext4 rom.
I've restored it to stock and through wifi updated it over the air to ec05
Ever since then I have never been able to connect using any of the usb ports, trying two different usb cables, the oem and a generic micro-usb cable and using either windows vista or ubuntu on this computer.
Clockworkmod reports that the phone is not connected and I am not able to see the phone as a hard drive when I set it to mass transfer mode.
In download mode, odin is able to communicate with the phone reliably.
I've repeatedly tried all ##8778# settings and I've set debugging mode off and on. Device manager shows that the phone is connected to port COM7.
Is it possible that the activation program is preventing the USB connection? I would think not because the activation status has not changed since the one time it did connect, but I'm at a total loss for any explanation.
My next step is to try another computer but I don't have one handy.
Is it possible to root a phone only through odin, or to put a file onto the sd card that can root without the use of the computer?

Thanks. I'm on ec05 now, so I'm OK with that. I'd like to root either with or without resolving the usb connection issue.
Is that possible at all?

While it isn't JUST a root that you are doing, as stated by budderocks, you can flash the pre-rooted EC05 tar file through Odin, although it will require you to reinstall any apps you currently have. This will start you out with either a stock(ish) setup, with root already included (not sure about Clockwork though), or you can use the one modified for the ext4 filesystem with CWM 3.0.0.6 included which will convert it to ext4 the first time you boot into recovery.

I have been through this myself and came short of beating my head against a wall before reading that it "may" be a cable issue.
Well, after tyring everything else, (because it couldn't be something as simple as changing to a different cable, right??!!) I pulled out an old cable from my Blackberry days and BAM - my laptop searched for and loaded the needed drivers and sees my phone everytime I plug it in now. I have also used a cable from a friends phone (not a Blackberry) and my laptop still sees the phone so I'm not advocating for Blackberry cables specifically.
Bottom line is - the Samsung cable is a piece of crap. It may work for a day or a month, but it will soon (for 98% of Epic owners) become nothing more than a charging cable before long.
Try using a different cable (not a Samsung model ) and see if that works. If so, then ODIN/one-clicks become your best friend(s)!!
Hope this helps!

Ok so I am trying to plug my phone into pc using usb cable so i can use odin. But my computer doesn't recognize my device. I've tried everything from uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them restarted pc and phone. nothing works i did get it to read one time and was able to access my sd storage and then i tried to go into download mode and i plugged in usb cable and it didn't recognize so i got out of download mode and it didn't recognize the phone again. Then i plugged in my girls evo and it reads the phone all the time. Is there something wrong with my epic then? how can i fix that problem. seriously getting frustrated!!
Try not to double post. We will get to your issue eventually. Refer to the other case, as it has potential solutions available for your issue.
(I've dealt with this as well.)
OK. I am beyond frustrated and I'm about to just give up all together. I followed these directions to root my HTC EVO 4g HBOOT-2.18.0001http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22013438&nocache=1 I followed the directions at http://www.htcdev.com to a T. And STILL my device is not recognized. When I plug my phone into my laptop it gives me this message "USB device not recognized. The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it. Recommendation Try reconnection the device. If windows still does not recognize it, your device may not be working properly." The USB ports on my computer work fine. I meet the qualifications I have 2 USB 2.0 ports and 2 USB 3.0 ports. I installed Java, I downloaded Android SDK. I synced my device like it recommends on htcdev.com but STILL I get this error message. I have reformatted my system 3 TIMES because I plugged my computer in 2 times before thoroughly reading the directions and I thought maybe the phone installed bad software, so I haven't used my laptop for 3 days because of me reformatting and failing to install my phone. But on the 3rd reformat I followed the directions to A T. I don't know what I am doing wrong? I have rooted this model in the past with this same laptop but it just don't work on this phone I'm using now. If ANYBODY has had this issue or if there is a thread I missed on this subject please point me to it! I will be very grateful! I apologize if this is in the wrong section I just desperately want to get this resolved!!

Ok it could be one of 4 things and you kocked one off the list,your USB ports,now the other 3 are your cable,like the man above me suggested or you could be in debug mode,or it could be you need to reboot your system,here,ill explain:
Simply UNPLUG YOUR COMPUTER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY. Yes that’s it! Note that this does not mean just turning off your computer because modern computers don’t really turn off when you press the power button as the motherboard still gets power.
First to explain, the motherboard is where all of hardware of the computer is connected to, including the USB ports. Sometimes the motherboard needs to be “rebooted” also because something can go wrong, i.e. all your USB ports suddenly stop working. The small microprocessor on the motherboard will reload the drivers and your USB ports should be back to recognizing all devices!
So first turn off your computer using Shut Down or pressing the power button and then UNPLUG it from the wall outlet. Let it sit for about a minute and then plug it back in.See if that works for ya.
I had that same issue and it was cause I had a loose charging port I just place in in its proper place and everything work good

I have the same HBoot and I tried several methods, all of which failed until I found the following link. It worked like a charm. Step 1 I used the HTCDEV method, on step 2 I used the ADB method, and on step 3 I used "Flash a ROM." It was perfect and easy. I just used this procedure a week ago, so I can vouch that it is valid. I suggest you try that. Lemme know how it goes bro.
