you need to download drivers and get ADB installed so you can do other things.

ok how do i go about doing that? cause i had it working untill about 4 days ago.

you have to set up the htc drivers off of the htc website. Is your phone rooted?

yes im currently running fresh 3.5

Hmm thtas odd. bc you have to have htc sync working to get adb shell running to flash and root.. they released a new HTC driver a few hours ago.. let me see if I can dig it up.

Here is the new USB driver from HTC.

Root?

Is there a way to root stock 2.2 that isn't unREVoked or z4root? I can't get unREVoked to work, just tells me to connect phone via usb and enable USB debugging. I have done this. Adb isn't working either, and z4root just sits at the screen for hours saying it's working. I just need a temp root for now, as I am having a usb problem where the phone reboots to 5 vibe whenever unplugged. I obviously want to get back to rooted, but just want to go one step at a time. Phone can read the SD, but my computer cannot recognize USB storage mode.
Is there a way to get this done?
Thanks,

Did you get the drivers for Windows and change USB connect to "charge only?" Not sure about how else to go about rooting to be honest.

All of a sudden phone will not connect to pc.

Alright I am running cm9 and have been for weeks with no issues. I got the new galaxy s3 and installed the drivers on my pc to root it and all that. I want to change roms on my E4GT though so I go to plug it in and it charges but will not connect so I figured I had to reinstall the usb drivers for my e4gt so I did and still nothing. I am in no way a newb i have flashed tons of roms and I know I did not do anything wrong. I believe I am just missing a driver. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have the latest version of kies installed and the drivers straight from samsungs website.
Made a little progress but not much. I realized I didnt have usb debugging enabled so I enabled that but now when I plug it in it just says usb debugging enabled instead of asking if I want to mount as storage device I have tried rebooting phone and pc several times. I am running out of ideas.
Did you get the drivers by installing Samsung Kies?
I ran into a similar issue once. I removed all Samsung software with all devices disconnected, did a reboot, re-installed a new copy of Kies, and when I plugged in the device, I opened the notification and told it to skip searching Windows Update.
Also, make sure you are plugging it into a powered USB port, so one on the back of your computer. Sometimes laptops don;t provide enough power either. My girlfriend's OG Epic refused to flash on my MacBook Pro, but worked fine on a desktop.
Latest version of Samsung Kies: http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201105/20110512115717796/Kies_2.3.2.12054_20_1.exe
Thank you very much i will give it a try and report back.

Actually no i did not get the drivers by installing kies because I already had it i got the sprint sph d710 usb drivers. Should I uninstall those and just install kies?
Well this is a rediculus problem that I am having now.. I cant install kies because it is saying I am not connected to the internet and I clearly am as I am posting this on the same pc that I am trying to install on.. I have tried rebooting the pc that does nothing.
Alright I got kies to install but still the same thing when I plug the phone in it says usb debugging enabled i really have no idea what is going on.
have you tried different ports on your computer, also have you maybe tried a different computer. If not it could be phone issue I fried my usb board on mine. best bet to try that is to flash another rom if possible and see if it you can connect to computer

[Q] USB Problem

Since yesterday my phone refuses to charge while booted into android (CM 10.1.2 Stable).
However it has absolutely no problems charging while turned off, in bootloader or hboot.
Also it will not be detected by PC usb so I can't flash a different ROM. What the hell is going on?
How do I get out of this mess?
Just to be clear I've already hard resetted the phone. It would appear that the usb drivers on the phone are to blame?
Need some help guys.

Here's what I've tried so far:
Reinstalled HTC drivers
Installed a different recovery
Installed a different ROM with a stock kernel
VOodOO magic
Nothing has worked so far.
If I turn the phone off I can use adb to flash ROMS and such. However USB will not work when the device is on:
No charging or data transfer over USB. Otherwise phone appears to be working perfectly.

It's was happened to me with Sony Xperia Z, when usb debugging on all are working, but actually it's not a normal condition.
My pc is windows64bit and happening this problem so changed to win32 all are OK, So I think this may be driver conflict in PC.
Therefore if possible you try with another PC.

Tried different cords and PCs.
Even wall chargers do not work.
Also comfirmed that a middle strip of around 10% of my screen area is dead to touch.
All signs indicate hardware damage. Might take it to HTC to get fixed now.

It's probably a driver problem. Download HTC Sync. Run it to install the drivers. Then uninstall HTC Sync. It doesn't play nice with ADB/fastboot.

Cannot mount phone to PC - OTG not working as well

Hello friends,
I own a OP3 fr over a year now and had no issues with it while rooting and changing roms, etc till two weeks ago.
After updating my ROM (Experience rom) to its latest version my phone could not mount to the PC, OTG is not working and dash charge went to hell.
Now, The phone has never been close to water at all, I've been careful with it more than with myself.
The phone has been checked by a repair man, he changed the usb port+mic 3 times, still not working.
Ofc I checked another charger, another cable, drivers, another otg usb.... NOTHING seems to get it to mount.
TWRP is working alright but I cannot mount from there also. OTG as well.
The phone shows on some PC's that it is an unknown device, even with drivers installed, won't let me set it as a mass storage or anything I can think of.
Does anyone have an idea to what the hell is going on?
Thank you in advance.

I can't do a logcat. There is no OS currently.
I can only enter TWRP or Fastboot.
Cannot mount from TWRP, Cannot get ADB sideload to work.
The device is an unrecognized driver in the device manager. (tried uninstalling ALL related drivers and installing again.)
Only weird thing i found is that the baseband and modem versions are missing from showing in fastboot
Exact same problem here
Im using the open beta 12, no OTG no dash charging :crying:

If you are talking about bootloader mode, right from the day I purchased the phone, they are blank despite flashing different ROMs and firmware/modems. So that is not an issue.
