[SOLVED][Q] I don't see HBOOT USB in the HBOOT menu! Help.. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Decided to root my desire this evening. I've booted into hboot menu using the volume down and power button keys.
I see these 4 options only:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
No "HBOOT USB"!
What next??

The top should say HBOOT USB when you plug your phone into your computer via USB.

Do I have to connect the phone via USB to the phone here?
Am following the steps mentioned here and STEP 3 mentions about selecting HBOOT USB which is supposed to be the 4th option? And I do not see it.
Just making sure I don't mess anything up!

I guess that 4th option is for EVO. I just plugged the USB cable and everything worked. I guess.
Thanks!

Successfully ROOTED!
Thanks xda forums!
Next step: flashing a custom ROM!
Cheers!

Download the RUU here. Then boot your phone in fastboot mode(Power it off(Take the battery out to be sure, make sure no USB cable is connected), power it on by pressing Power + Back key). Make sure the goldcard is inserted. Then connect the device via USB cable and run that RUU, it should update itself and you should have your SLCD back.

If it's from the link I gave then yes.
Thank you all.
I have solved my problem with RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_T2_Radio_32.41.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe

Help me assists of Dragoon123.
Firstly download RUU for SLDC here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...1.00.32U_4.08.00.09_release_137222_signed.exe
Than, boot your phone in fastboot mode.
1. Power it off (Take the battery out to be sure, make sure no USB cable is connected)
2. Power it on by pressing Power + Back key). (Make sure the goldcard is inserted.)
3. Then connect the device via USB cable
4. And run that RUU which you installed, it should update itself and you should have your SLCD back.
If this version of RUU not help, try other versions also. This way will fix your problem, believe me.

rooting the desire

tried the unrevoked method downloaded everything that was asked but i dont get the hboot usb notice under the simlock sign cant see where im going wrong here,anyone know the answer
Read the instructions on the unrEVOked site
read everything and watched the youtube vids,in vids and in written instructions but i aint got the hboot usb under the simlock when i go into bootloader
Most likely you have forgot to install the HBoot drivers that are needed if running Windows. Also make sure that you have USB debugging enabled.
i have all that in my device manager mate,my prob is i cant get the hboot usb on my desire like it shows you in the vid tuts
Maybe an issue with fastboot then. If you can't access it manually then there is a problem with it. Just search the forum.
Turned antivrus/firewalls off?

Depends on hboot.
For me was no such option either. So, I just booted into HBOOT and plugged in the USB cable and it automatically changed to HBOOT USB PLUG and unrEVOked worked.
thats where i get too also mate,it comes up in blue hboot usb at the top then i do the reflash package and i get the unrevoked flash coming up but just sits on waiting for device
@nagypapi you wouldnt happen to know an orange simlock code so i can put a vodafone sim into my desire
this might sound silly but i install the hboot usb drivers and the reflash package to my laptop?? i dont install anything to my phone
You do know that you won't actually see 'HBOOT USB' on the menu of the Desire don't you? That bit is based on another handset
Turn on the phone holding the volume down button and you'll be in HBOOT. Connect it to the PC and you'll see 'HBOOT USB' on the screen...that's it
lol yes mate i know that,i'm just getting the evo page and
"waiting on device"ive enabled usb debugging and charge only,ive done everything to the letter with no joy,ive unlocked and rooted a nexus one so i thought this would be the same but it aint working for me somehow
Did you uninstalled htc synch?
i seen that on the tut but i cant find it on the phone,all i can see in apps is htc sync weather
Htc synch on ur pc I mean..If u never installed it, so u have to install it (check htc.com), then uninstall (but leave the driver)..
This what I did when I rooted my desire ages ago:
-Install hboot drivers
-Install htc synch and uninstall it (leaving the drivers installed)
-Set debug mode and charge only as default option (make it remember)
-Leave ur desire ON normally at ur homescreen
-Run unrevoked..and ONLY when it ask for the device, plug ur desire..
-Done (unrevoked will reboot ur phone couple of time, dont remember)..just wait the success message on ur pc
Hope it helps
You need to uninstall it from your PC then install the 2 drivers for clockworkmod.

ok...if you press power + volume up you will never get to hboot...it's volume + power down.
To get the cid number, just boot in hboot, choose fastboot and plug the phone until you see fastboot usb in red. Then open a cmd in the pc and type fastboot getvar all. INFOcidnum is the information u need to get the ruu,

Done, but with no luck. The computer recognizes that the phone has been connected (it beeps and shows "Android Phone - Android Bootloader Interface") but I can't access it like a disk drive.
When I try to run the RUU I get an error saying it can't connect to the USB port...
** I un-installed, then re-installed HTC Sync and it picked the phone up and installed the drivers. So i'm doing the RUU at the moment and all seems to be running sweet. Its just finished and re-starting for the first time in a couple of hours! **
I'll try this rooting thing again eh!

While using the ace hack dont install HTC sync use the drivers given in "*\tools\windrivers" folder
Most importantly Do not connect your computer to the internet As the driver manager checks for the latest drivers in microsoft website.. I was stuck there for a long time but nothing happened..
when ur not connected to internet it will take the drivers of "Android 1" which is already installed by installing "HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe" from "*\tools\windrivers" folder.
Comin back the boot screen. Only HTC was visible on the screen after rooting but started the Ace hack again which removed this problem
You'll have a more successful ROOT if you use Ubuntu or a Ubuntu Live CD as I assume your using Windows right ? I used Ubuntu and rooted first time with no problems.
Thanks very

i was in the exact same situation. All you have to do is connect your phone to your pc while its stuck on ''HTC'' boot screen. Wait for like a minute then use cmd and write 'adb reboot bootloader'. You should be able to fix it yourself from there
EDIT: doesnt work once bootloader is unlocked T_T im stuck on the white screen again...

Use adb from bootlooping screen. The command is "adb reboot recovery". Adb is part of android SDK. There are plenty of guides on how to set up adb out there and its easy.

You don´t to have be in hboot to use adb. You have to be with the phone on normally or from the splash screen itself. If you are in hboot then choose fastboot and try from there but using fastboot devices command instead.
As long as you have not factory reseted the phone the usb debugging drivers will stay in the phone.

USB debugging should always be enabled by default in any custom Rom. The thing that will disable it is doing factory reset from hboot screen. But you can't get there anyways so it should be enabled. Start the phone as normal and let it go to splash screen. Plug into pc and be sure to check that pc sees the phone. If not, unplug phone. Uninstall drivers. Re install drivers and then plug phone back in. From adb type "adb devices". You should see your device. After that run the "adb reboot recovery". If it still doesn't see it plug phone into different port. Preferably one that goes straight into mother board and remove any other USB devices that are plugged in.

any other way to enable it ?
I did a factory reset.
i just installed a new rom.
thank you for trying to help any way/
Go to settings>Applications>development and check USB debugging.
If you're still getting device not recognized, you should reinstall HTC drivers by reinstalling HTC sync. ( if you haven't installed those in the first place, then you won't be able to use adb unless you do)

When you say "factory reset," do you mean that you ran a RUU? Or that you chose "factory reset" in recovery, so you still have a custom ROM installed? If the answer is the latter, you probably have USB Debugging enabled. Just give ADB a try.

Can't Navigate HBoot

I just got an EVO of my very own. I bought it bricked on E-bay hoping to get it super cheap and have a sweet phone.
When it arrived it was stuck on the White HTC screen. No Worries I thought I'll just throw it in to recovery, do a restore, and be on my way.
So I pressed Volume down and Power to get in to recovery and got this HBOOT :

The problem I have is that the phone does not recognize any of those buttons. What do I do now?
Also, my device manager does not recognize it in HBOOT.

Wrong forum. You need to hit up the forum for the HTC EVO 4G, not the LTE.

I just got an EVO of my very own. I bought it bricked on E-bay hoping to get it super cheap and have a sweet phone.
When it arrived it was stuck on the White HTC screen. No Worries I thought I'll just throw it in to recovery, do a restore, and be on my way.
So I pressed Volume down and Power to get in to recovery and got this HBOOT :
SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-2.10.0001
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-AMTEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.00.19
Oct 15 2010, 12:07:00
HBOOT
<VOL UP> to previous item
<VOL DOWN> to next item
<POWER> to select item
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
The problem I have is that the phone does not recognize any of those buttons. What do I do now?
Also, my device manager does not recognize it in HBOOT.

So what you're saying is that neither volume button changes the selection in Hboot? Is that right?

Correct. and the top option "Fastboot" is highlighted but I cannot select it with the power button either.

In many cases you need to check the obvious first. 1- are you using the OE usb cable and 2- (if yes on first question) have you tried a different port on your computer?

It's interesting that you said you were able to use power+volume down to get to the bootloader, yet the keys do nothing once you get to the Hboot menu. You should be able to navigate the Hboot menu (fastboot, recovery, etc.) with the volume buttons, and use the power button to select one of the options. Almost sounds like a hardware problem
You need to make sure you have the most recent HTC drivers installed on your computer, and, like it was suggested above, try more than one port & cable when connecting to your computer. Problem is, if you can't switch from Hboot to Fastboot, you can't run fastboot commands, which would allow you to reboot to recovery using your computer.

Where do I get the most recent drivers and what SHOULD I be able to do in HBOOT IF I can get my PC to recognize it?
as for the cable, I got the phone on ebay without cable. I have 2 Ebay made in china cables, a Samsung OEM cable, and a LG OEM Cable. Which has the best odds of success?

Your best bet is the Samsung or LG cable. If you can't navigate the Hboot menu you may be out of luck, but if you can connect via Fastboot USB you'll be better off. You can get the drivers in the link posted below. Use the driver dated 6-6-13. You'll also need to have ADB on your computer, unless you already have it set up. Click the link in my sig and go towards the bottom of my guide. It's for the EVO LTE but I have a link on how to setup ADB on your computer and it will work regardless of what Android phone you have.

Here's a thought I just had: We all know cell phones can sometimes have stupid pointless rules. I don't have a back for this phone. I got an extended battery and a regular back with it.... I wonder if not having a back on is why I can't navigate in Hboot. Would one of y'all be willing to take the back off your phone and just hold the battery in while you try to do hboot and tell me what happens?

I don't have access to my OG EVO at the moment, but I'm fairly certain you can navigate the menu without the cover.

ok you need to understand something. the reason that fastboot is highlighted at the top is because you are IN fastboot mode, all you have to do is plug it into the computer. hboot starts out that way. what ever is highlighted at the top is the mode of your hboot. then when you plug into your computer youll see a little 'usb' popup right after the word fastboot.

This is correct:thumbup:
I'm still curious as to how you were able to get into the bootloader to begin with, but yet the volume buttons don't seem to do anything. Seems odd

well theres two ways you can start the bootloader 1: is by holding the vol up when yo upower on the device, and that will automatically start you in fastboot mode, and the other is vol down which will start you in bootloader mode. it looks like hes starting in bootloader mode in which case the device will check the root of the sdcard for any files to flash, either BOOT.IMG, SPLASH1.NB0, RECOVERY.IMG. so you could actually flash your recovery that way as well by putting the PC36IMG.ZIP on your sdcard that includes the .img and the android-info.txt file for your device.

So when it's in the Hboot screen, my computer doesn't recognize it.
PC36IMG.zip on my SD Card in the root but when I do vol down and power it takes me straight back to the same hboot screen.
When I try plugging it in and doing VOL up and power It vibrates 3 times and then my computer finds not an HTC evo but a Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM and can't install any drivers. What next?

You're right. I got a new battery and it didn't change a thing.
