I wanted to root my phone and flash a costum rom... unfortunately my DHD (2.2.1) is T-Mobile branded, so i had to create a goldcard in order to downgrade from 1.75.111.2 to 1.32. When it came to temproot it manually with cmd i had to plug my DHD into my PC in load only mode, usb debugging activated.
I knew already that my DHD wont recognize my PC or the other way round (i somehow broke it when i deleted the htcsync drivers.exe from my sd card), but i thought maybe it would somehow work in usb debugging mode.
Well, it didnt(phone not found).
i then focused on repairing my usb connection, so i tried it on 2 other pcs (mine is w7, the other ones are xp and win7) but it all failed
(xp asked for drivers, which i installed directly from htc.com today(on all pcs(plus i removed and reinstalled them all properly))/win7 did nothing/mine said that it fails to connect and that i should use a usb 2.0 port(well all ports are usb 2.0, i also tried usb3.0))
evertime i plugged my DHD in i was asked which connection i want to use, none worked, i also restarted my phone several times (usb connected and without) when i type in #7284# (or *#7284# i tried both) it says: connection failure or invalid mmi code
Finally i resetted my phone and did it all again! But it wont work!
please help me!
Hi...It looks like a driver issue...
If your drivers are installed correctly, in your win-7 Device manager it will show DHD.
I would suggest to Re-install HTC Sync from HTC website - Run it again and give it a try
doesnt work either.... win7 says the device does not run properly, my phone does nothin unusual...
i wonder if htc could fix the issue... this would be my last option
however i believe in you guys at xda!
how did you reset your phone?
Did you install the android SDK? Does adb recognize your phone? (run "adb devices", if your device is listed, everything should be fine)
On my win7-machine, the HTC-Software gives me an error message (along the lines of "phone doesn't respond" or something like that) but adb works nonetheless.
thank you for your answer but im afraid it didnt work... i installed the usb driver pack on sdk but i couldnt find it under sdk/usb driver..., however i found some files -> android/android-sdk/extras/google/usbdriver/amd64 -> usbdrivercoinstall2.dll... i tried to install this driver in hardware manager, and i tried to install an adb.exe which i found in my downgrade folder as a driver. but win7 said no driver installation is necessary the "best" drivers are already installed (win7 aint gonna install anything)
also my dhd is found under unkown device, -this device is deactivated because it made errors- "Dieses Gerät wurde angehalten, weil es Fehler gemeldet hat. (Code 43)"
well i deinstalled it and searched for new hardware, he now says the drivers are installed properly please restart however i neither see my sd card nor my devices name (instead unkown device with this little yellow triangle)
btw. for reset i used my android reset (settings -> sdcard -> reset)
It is normal, the HTC Sync turns on the USB debug?
Have the same issue. My DHD can be connected to the PC no other way than charge mode, no matter is usb debugging turned on or off. Tried 2 PCs with W7 and 1 PC with Ubuntu 10.04. This trouble appeared several days ago. Wipe didn't help. Thinking of re-installing firmware, but it seems like hardware problem. An engineer in our service center said it might be motherboard malfunction.
Some ways of solving this problem are described here: http://goo.gl/2eMcP But none of those solutions helped me. If anyone can help, please advise.
UPD: re-installing the firmware had no success - connection with PC failed. 95% hardware problem, will take it to service center.
Guys I know it's a stupid advice, but I had same problems (suddenly my connection with pc didn't work anymore): did you try to change usb cable?

tried 3 cables and 3 PCs
i just found a solution for me : i tried a forth pc (win7) freshly installed htcsync + android sdk + !downloaded! (not properly installed) adb drivers (which i surprisingly did not need) well i plugged my DHD in and he installed all drivers, but never asked for an adb driver. instead he had problems installing 7 different bluetooth drivers for my DHD (???)^^
it just worked for me this way (also worked for debugging mode + load only mode (for radio s-off/hboot s-off))
:|)
well it's not exactly a permanent solution just a temporal way to root my phone, but in worst case i think its nessesary to reinstall win7 on your pc....

Hey folks,
been searching and searching without any luck so far, trying to find a solution to my phone not being reconzied if i put it in recovery (volD+boot, back+power), windows sees it fine if i open the phone normally and connect it to the pc.. and i can use the ADB shell to detect it
# ../../..: adb devices
but no adb connection if the phone is in volD+power or back+Power.
sometimes Windows detects the Android 1.0 in Device manager but i wont find the drivers no matter what kind/version i fetch off the interwebz and no matter where i put it. i worked once and now the connection is just broken...
i have gotten sick and tired of the fact that i cannot get paid APPS and that the phone is filled after like 10 APP installs so i decided to root specially cause there now was a fix for the brick ...
but it seems like im pretty stuck .. neither of the 2 Rooting methods work cause of the lacking connection.... barghh...
I hope my english is not to horrible for you to read...
Kind Regards
Vicster
HELP
Hi!!! i have this problem!!! Help we please!!!
I want use usb connection for tether, but driver not found or error connection.
Also got this issue, one week that I'm trying EVERYTHING
The device is well recognized by windows but the adb can't find it (it says no device found)...
Thanks a lot for the help!
Noob question. .. did u installed htc sync? It contain USB driver 4 Windows. ..
Yeah. I have installed HTC sync and the drivers, and i have downloaded the exctracted drivers and tried to point android 1. 0 to Them, but all w7 does is tell me that it did not find any drivers for the device.
Install the leatest HTC Sync....
Boot the Phone normally and activate USB-Debugging.
Wait for Windows this installed the driver....
boot your phone into recovery and now you have driver...
Worked for me
Windos 7 Ultimate x64
Do not plug your phone on any kinds of USB HUBS, USB Extender cabels, Front PC USB ports, or any kind of strange PC cards with USB ports.
Also use only original HTC cabel which you got with your phone.
Plug your phone in first USB port on the motherboard closes to the mouse and keyboard.
My phone wasnt recognized by ADB while it was conected to front USB ports, but other things where working fine (Sd card browsing and copying)
Try and report back if it helps.
I plugged it with the OEM HTC cable, also installed the latest HTC Sync, with both latest HTC and Android SDK x64 drivers, it just doesn't work..
On win 7 64 too.
Motherboard asus p5k,my device is working only with the rear usb port.
Must be a question of usb amperage...
Works fine for me, W7 x64 Ultimate, but I only use Windows to get into recovery - linux to root the phone initially
For some odd reason, I lost adb functionality (i.e. any adb command issued receives "error: device not found"). I looked in Device Manager and noticed that MyHTC was gone! I looked at my phone and USB debugging was enabled and in charge only. I could put it in USB Drive mode and the PC would recognize it as a USB Mass Storage Device so that I could exchange and view files but no adb.
I searched and searched on this issue for hours and installed over a half a dozen "androidusb.inf" driver files several times over. Every install generated the Code 10 error where Device Manager was lacking some information from the driver file and could not start the device. I reinstalled HTC Sync and gave that a try...nothing. Downloaded USBDeview and uninstalled all HTC drivers including the HTC Android USB Device and tried again to no avail. WTF?! What else am I supposed to do?
Well, in a "what the hell, let's give it a try" kind of moment, I decided to toggle the USB debugging off and then back on (and yes, it was checked and on the whole time). WORKS!!! WHAT THE CRAP?!! MyHTC is back in Device Manager and everything is back to normal. I'm glad but irritated!
I share this story in hopes that if someone else stumbles on this problem, they will not have to go through the same headache as I did. Just thought this was odd considering how many times I have plugged and unplugged and never had any problems with adb.
Toggle USB Debugging....so simple. *rolleyes*
Same Issue
I've got the same issue on my EVO 4G. Just installed the latest CM7 and now it tell me device not recognized. If I manually install the drivers it gives me the same code 10. I can't bring up the phone as a storage device and toggling the debugging is not working. Any ideas?

You installed the hboot drivers correctly?
Boot into recovery, with usb debugging enabled, connect to pc, it should install the drivers.
Still the same
Even when I reboot into recovery it still gives me "USB Device not recognized." I previously had MikFroyo on my phone with no problems. I'm at a loss.

You most likely have a bad cable, do you have another one you can try?
Possibility
Not at the moment but that may explain it. Still seems weird for it to just go out right as I change to CM7, but still a possibility. I am going to run and grab my other cable. Thanks for the advice.
No Luck
The new USB cable didn't fix the problem. Also, in device manager, even with the driver installed its labeled as "unknown device."
If I boot into hboot the computer recognizes it.
**update: After rebooting from the hboot, my phone is recognized by the computer however, a disk drive is not coming up in "my computer." I have USB storage turned on but Im not getting anything.**
Any help would be much appreciated!
Sad Day
Apparently the Micro USB port on the bottom of my phone is going bad... I talked with some other people who've had the same problem. HTC knows that the ports aren't very sturdy as well. Well... sad day for me.
Also if you're getting the notice from windows saying that you your device will run faster in a 2.0 usb port and you know the port is 2.0 ... chances are your port is going bad as well.
*****UPDATE*****
Flashed to MikFroyo and none of the above stated problems. I would venture that it was CM7 but apparently everyone else is able to use it so who knows.
Hi,
So before going on, I've now spent couple hours trying to fix this issue, looking for tips and threads without luck.
I'm using a rooted DHD, with an Affinity rom. It works perfectly fine.
Yesterday, a friend asked me to install a custom rom on his tablet, which I did.
I had to clean all my Android drivers because the tablet wouldn't be recognized properly by my computer (no ADB driver).
In the end it didn't help and I had to use a fastboot method, which ended well.
Now, my phone doesn't prompt me what I want to do when I plug it to my computer.
I, once again, clean the usb drivers, installed HTC Sync and all its dependencies but the software doesn't recognize my phone (I couldn't care less, but I suppose it's part of my "no prompt" problem).
Of course I tried with and without AV, firewall... No luck (and I think I rooted my phone with both them ON anyway). I tried other USB ports as well
If I plug the phone without HTC Sync and its drivers installed, Windows 7 installs 3 out of 4 drivers, the last being in this suite I suppose.
I tried using the drivers provided with the sdk, they're not for that missing driver.
With the suite installed, I end up with 2 new devices on my devices manager : one "Android USB Device" labeled "My HTC" and one "mobile device" labeled as "J:" (drive name) which means no ADB drivers.
Of course, USB debug and ask when connect are both ON. I tried turning them ON and OFF, but still no luck (except a new driver installation).
ADB drivers start to install as soon as uninstall the "HTC Drive Installer" component, which is weird.
So I don't really know what to do now except that it's driving me nuts as I cannot do anything else than charging the phone now.
Is this a case of "USB brick" ? The threads I read about it all talk about "stock roms".
Try Multi Mount SD Card from the Market.
https://market.android.com/details?...vaWQubXVsdGltb3VudHNkY2FyZC53aWRnZXQuZnJlZSJd
Thanks for the alternative, it works fine
I'd still like to know how to fix this though, if anyone has any clue about it.
It's a sense rom?
Sense roms have an option to permanently put the usb state to charging or storage, etc, without prompting you again. It's an option you tick, in the settings (usb connections, or usb sync maybe? sorry, I don't use sense).
Yes it's a sense rom, with the "always ask me" option activated
Exactly. Yes.
That's strange.
Good day,
I'm having problem with my DHD unable to be recognized in my Win 7 PC. I have already install HTC Sync and also tick on "Ask Me" for Connect To PC setting. I'm running on stock 3.13.707.4 ROM with S-ON and unrooted. Even restart to Fastboot my PC still unable to recognized my DHD.
From Googling it shows many Desire having USB-Brick problem, does this problem also applied to DHD? Is it my phone is hit by USB-Brick? Any guide to solve this problem? I've tried flashing older ROM via Bootloader and PD98IMG.zip but it won't allow saying something like the ROM is older version.
I just bought this used phone for about a week so I'm still not sure on how to solved this problem. any helps is much appreciated.
are you using the original cord that came with the phone? just any old usb cable won't work
also you can't flash a new rom without rooting and gaining S-OFF, you're unrooted and S-ON, that's why you get the "version is older" message

I bought the phone and it came with 1 cord (with HTC label) that can be connected to the charger, I guess there are only 1 cord for charging and connect to PC? This is the cord that I use. In addition to that I have also tried Motorola, Sony Ericsson (both also for Android phone) and Nokia cord but all can't.
The ROM is actually older version stock ROM from RUU.exe. I saw from few Desire thread they were using this method to restore the ROM to before the USB Brick condition so I thought to try it.
BUMP!
Anyone know what should I do to resolve this problem?
Are you running the very latest HTC Sync on your PC? I'm using 3.0.5606. You can get it here: http://www.htc.com/www/help/
Also, connect your phone and go into Device Manager on your PC. Check to see if you have an entry for Android USB Devices and that the phone shows up. See attached screenshot for how mine looks. This is the best place to check to see if your PC has installed the drivers correctly.
In answer to your question about the cable, yes it's the same cable that attaches to the PC or to the mains charger. I've sometimes had connection problems caused by a dodgy cable, but I've used others apart from the HTC one without issues.
Edit: Also, when you install HTC Sync it should warn you to disable Antivirus software during the installation. This can be really important! I ignored it the first time around, thinking it was just a silly precaution, and had loads of problems with the phone not being recognised. Had to uninstall, temporarily disable AV, and re-install HTC Sync. Once it has finished installing, you can turn your AV back on.
Thank you for your reply preacher6.
Yes, I'm using the latest HTC Sync, v3.0.5606, just downloaded yesterday and reinstall everything.
When my phone connected to the PC it didn't appear as Android USB Device on my Device Manager, it only appear as Unknown Device in USB Controller:
So I guess I can rule out the cable as I have tried about 4 cables already.
For the installation part, I have disable the anti virus and also running the setup program as administrator. When installing there is no problem whatsoever that crop out.
Another point is, even on Fastboot it appear as Unknown Device in the PC.
I would try to update the driver manually - right click on the Unknown device, go to "install driver" or "update driver", then browse to the "Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver" folder. See if it picks up and installs the correct driver.
I've tried manually update the driver as per your advise but it says there is no compatible driver in that folder even though androidusb.inf is in that folder.
I'm running Win 7 64bit. does the driver also work for 64bit OS?
Should do, yes, I'm on Win7 64 bit myself. There is this folder on my PC:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64
Is the unknown device present when the phone isn't connected? Just to make sure that is actually the phone - if it's still there when the phone isn't connected, it's some other device.
Otherwise try uninstalling the unknown device and then rebooting the PC, then forcing the installation of the drivers again.
The folder is same as yours.
The unknown device does not present when my DHD is not connected, so I'm certain it is the phone that appear as unknown device.
I have tried uninstalling the unknown device > reboot PC > installing the driver but it still won't install.
Another thing is, I check on the Device Manager > Unknown Device properties > Details" for it's Hardware Ids and it shows as USB\UNKNOWN. I think it should show a strings of the device id? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, there should be a proper device ID string, on charge mode mine shows a hardware ID of USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0CA2&REV_0226&MI_01.
At this point the best thing I can suggest is to try on another PC. If it works, your drivers are screwed up and you'll need to strip them and reinstall. But if it doesn't work on another PC, it's possible you have a hardware problem with the phone.

I need help too (HTC Desire Z device)
Is it hardware problem? (I already purchased new system board).
For me it looks like hardware problem, because device does not accept bus address, do not show USB strings/VID/PID (Tried different cables/PCs/OSes (I have OpenSUSE linux, but phone does not connect to usb on any PC, Windows PCs even do not understand that something plugged in)).
No problems with USB-connector (checked resistance), but I do not see pull-down resistance with my tester.
But all other functions work well.
UPD. Tried to connect from FASBOOT/HBOOT/Android - the same result, device does not accept bus adress. Additionally it charges without problems, but when I connect phone to USB no pop-up/information at top bar appears.

Sorry, it looks like I explained my question wrong (I'm Russian, and English do not native to me). Let me try reformulate:
You said "Yes. Holla if you still need help" so I believe that you were able to fix "Device not recognized" problem. So I'm asking - how did you do it? Did problem was hardware or software?
For me (look at symptoms at my previous message) it looks like dead USB controller in phone. But maybe it very strange software problem (USB-controller firmware damaged)?
Did I explain it clear now?
Install the SDK on PC and update all android versions.
Well guys it was just my PC, i made a system backup for four days and that was all the problem(the USB port of my PC)

After installing and updating SDK...go into platform folder and open it. Hold mouse in field and hold shift and right click mouse. Chose "open cmd here"..that will open a cmd prompt window. In regular mode on phone,type "adb devices" should return numbers (ex: hta3829g)..if in bootloader mode,type "fastboot devices" should return numbers.
This SDK helps PC see your phone when its plugged in. Especially handy when a PC won't install drivers for your phone

Hi there.
I picked up a refurbed Incredible 2 (running 2.3.4) and am trying to get it to connect to PC so I can move files across between the PC and either internal memory and/or microSD cards. I'm having no luck on Windows 7.
I changed the Default Connection Type from Charge Only to Media Sync / Disk Drive / HTC Sync (after installing the HTC Sync software - NOT the HTC Sync Manager, which apparently only supports the newer phones) to no avail. I've tried them all, and they all have the same issue. I've done this both with and without USB debugging checked, and with "Unknown Sources" ("allow installation of non-Market apps") checked. I've also tried uninstalling Sync, installing Sync Manager, trying again (no change), and then reversing it (uninstalling Manager, and reinstalling Sync) - again, no change. Sync does not see the phone while connected and in "HTC Sync" mode via the Default Connection Type (or anything else).
When I plug the phone in to the PC the PC shows a "USB Device not recognized" and sometimes I will get a "Driver did not install successfully" message. Device Manager is showing one Unknown Device with a "!" issue under the USB controllers category I'm assuming is the problem. There is also nothing showing up under the Disk Drives category in my Device Manager other than my hard disk, even though some of the guides I'm looking at say I should have something related to the phone in there.
I've tried connecting it with 2 different USB cables, just in case the one that came with it was not fully functional. I've used the second cable for data transfer in the past, so it should work. No difference.
I've restarted several times, with and without the microSD card installed. I've tried unmounting and remounting the card as well, no difference.
Am I missing some kind of Win7 drivers for the Incredible 2 that are not installed automatically and/or with the HTC Sync install? I've seen some references and links to HTC drivers that are apparently not on the HTC site, but I am very leery of downloading an .EXE from a random website and just installing it to see if it works. I'd think if this was necessary, it would be on the HTC site.
Anyone know what gives here? I can't think of anything else to try.
Am I a complete newb here, or is this potentially an issue with the refurb'ed phone?
Thank you very much for any assistance!
I use the driver linked on the revolutionary.io site (http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe) and I have never had an issue.

Hi there.
I attempted this, but still no change. Do you know where this installs the drivers to, so I might try to manually point the Device Manager "Unknown Device" to them?
When I try to update the driver via Device Manager, however, it is telling me the following:
"Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.
'Unknown Device'
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)"
Thank you for any further assistance or ideas.
Doesn't matter where you place them but you'll need to go to control panel/system/device manager find the device with the issue and select update driver.... Then it should be recognized

OP - do you have any other USB device drivers for other smartphone(s) installed on your PC? If so, uninstall all of them and reboot it clean.
Assumed that you are running VZW stock software - phone isn't rooted ?
Is your HTC Installer running this version - 3.0.0.007 - that's mine (have it running on W7 Pro and Ultimate on desktop & 2 laptop, no problems for me - I also have it running Win 8.
Uninstall HTC Installer & reboot - without connecting the phone. Turn off firewall & antivirus on your PC temporary, reconnect the phone & follow the prompts to reinstall HTC drivers. Once it's done, disconnect the phone & power down the computer.
Restart the PC and then reconnect the DI2 to it, hopefully - it will recognize the phone and allow you to connect & recognize the mSD card for data transfer, etc.
Please post any specific error messages as you see them. Good luck.
A common cause of "unrecognized USB device" is a bad cable. Try another. Or, try a different USB port on your PC.
