I was in the process of getting hboot drivers installed on my PC and lost my HTC drivers.... I finely got my bootloader interface running but also need the HTC drivers to run android flasher as said in this post...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794638 .....every where I look it never states clearly what download I should chose .. I do have the program "driverMender" but it only says its missing not where I can reacquire it from........PLEASE help.... Im stuck at this point....
Download htc sync, then uninstall it.
you want me to download htc sync then uninstall htc sync??????I dont understand that be I'm doing it... thats the first answer I have got in a day and a half......Thanks
-Nods- Exactly that. You just need the drivers the program installs for the phone. Leaving the program installed causes problems when rooting, so you delete it. After you're rooted, you can re-install it.
im already rooted is that a problem
Naaaw, you're still good to go.
But you also got he hboot drivers?
ya I lost htc drivers when I was getting hboot drivers. but its good to go i just need to replace htc....which i'm finely onmy way.... I tell you thanks... I have been on my PC all day trying to fixs this...
Well at least you could end the day on a positive note.
after I install the program do I uninstall it right away or do the find my device portion
Well since you're rooted, don't need to uninstall, you can go to the find my device portion.
well i have never had the need for the program as of yet. guess i'll keep sence I have already done the due..... again thank you
Glad to have helped.

Pretty sure most people know how to do this but for some who are having issues with drivers n such this might help, wouldn't hurt imo.. I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate (x86)
*** Reportedly Will not work with Official OTA 1.47/2.05 Updates, only Rooted updates, I have not personally tried. The Wizards @ the dev forums are working on a fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=714157 ***
The steps below worked for me. I had the latest clockwork recovery,Damage Control DC 3.2.2.1 deodexed and The latest rooted ota updates installed (EVO_1.47.651.1_De-odex'd_Rooted.zip, 2.05.00.06.10 update.zip)
Download and install HTC Sync Update http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/ (if you already have it installed then click the repair option,
or better yet uninstall your current one even if it is the same one, reboot your computer and then install this one again, for good measure.)
1. I unplugged/plugged my phone into the computer a couple times,switched to htc sync mode when it asks what type of usb connection I wanted, to install more driver updates if any
and did 2 reboots on my computer to get all the drivers updated/installed and working as they should.
2. Turn off the phone, hold volume down and hold down power button to get to bootloader,
pressed Power button one more time to get to the menu where you can reboot bootloader,
rebooted bootloader once and twice BEFORE the unrooting process for good measure.
3. Download either one of the RUU Stock Roms, I would try RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253.exe and then RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe if the first one fails.

Alternate Link http://tinyurl.com/2fq4dzk
4. Plug your phone into your computer, make sure ALL Drivers installed properly if any, you may already have drivers installed, but double check, switch to HTC Sync mode
and let it install any drivers, then turn off your phone and start it in bootloader (Hold Volume Down +Power button) Reboot your computer also
to make sure everything has been properly installed.
5. Then you can finally double click (right click run as admin imo) the RUU.exe and start the unrooting process, good luck!
I try it and it don't work. I mean yet it detect my ota version but after I click update than for a while it said that my phone is not plug from the computer. I'm running windows 7 ultimate 64bit, eva x58 core i7-920
Thanks for the write-up, does this take the phone completely back to out-of-the-box stock?

Make sure your in HTC Sync mode or Disk Drive Mode on your phone, also try rebooting your computer & phone, plugging your phone into a different usb port, etc, have to tinker with it a bit.

do you have to have either 1.47 or 2.05 to use this method, or will the rooted supersonic 1.32.651.1 be able to do it?
because I installed htc sync, set the phone to HTC Sync, but the phone says it cant find it on my computer.

Yes it will work for that version, you only set HTC Sync mode up to install any missing drivers, then you switch back to disk drive mode if you want your computer to gain access to your phones SD card.

so are you saying the htc sync doesnt have to actually sync? the phone never finds the htc sync on the computer. But I can get the computer to see the phone and access the sd card no problem.
Thanks for the write-up it worked just like planned. And with so many people returning for some reason or another this is just what we need
Im returning one and buying another at bestbuy HEHE
so will this return the Evo to shipped stock rom IF i did the OTA update? and will i be able to root if i have the OTA update?
thanks
I had the .6 stock(not root)and OTA updated to 1.47,how can I go back to .6 stock,I ran the .6 RUU,but it said main version older and refused to downgrade,anyone knows how do I reload the .6 back?my EVO ever rooted.
As far as I've been able to find by SEARCHING the forums:
NO
Once you do the OTA update you can NOT go back or downgrade or uninstall it or whatever.
This method posted is for installing a ROOTED ota update. ie, it was hacked, and rooted prior to being installed. If you downloaded it from sprint on your phone and installed it, your are SOL for now.

They're working on a fix, but I wouldn't hold your breath. Most of the devs are taking the weekend off for one reason or another.

Thanks for the write up.
Couldnt get it to go. Tried EVERYthing mentioned. Keep running into Error 170 USB connection error. I did dl HTC sync and let all the drivers install and rebooted my PC. And the phone.
Also tried multiple USB ports.
Nada.
not sure if this is any help, but I think the person in this thread had that same error, I hate to have you dig through the thread but I want to say it was mentioned on one of the later pages. Not sure if this is applicable to what you are doing.

Thanks but sadly I've been through all the steps mentioned in all those links.
My USB is fine as I have been using it without issue.
I definitely cannot flash the .1 or .6 RUU.
I tried liquid jesus's method and it would not go either.
I'm stumped
Have u tried to flash the ruu as a zip?
Hello,
I've rooted my phone before with win7 but today im at work and after unrooting my phone (UI issues i had to fix) i am now trying to root it again but on a Win XP computer. I have the drivers and the Unrevoked reflash pkg unzipped and all that + i made sure i have USB debugging turned on. I tried 2 ways of doing it once with debugging on before i ran the reflash and once where i turned it on after starting the reflash.
Is there anyone who may have some ideas on what issues i'm facing?
I found a fix to that issue but now im stuck with as message saying waiting for bootloader; make sure driver is installed!
Ignore this thread now...I fixed it myself!!! yay me!
lol might want to add some where if it isn't posted elsewhere that if you have WinXP you need to make sure your HTC drivers are installed. And to do that you can download HTC Sync from their website then uninstall HTC Sync but not the drivers!!!!
After that if you already had the Android USB modified drivers installed you will need to do that again! Don't ask me why but you do because I had to lol. After that everything should be fine when you go to use Unrevoked 3.21 (or newest one that will come out after that).
I did run into an error where communication with the phone was severred but i just ran the reflash tool again and it worked. (random error)
I tried to search through forums and not finding anything helpfull.
I have 2.2 on my incredible. At first when I tried to root with unrevoked it would do the first reboot and then say waiting for reboot. Then it would breifly say something like waiting to settle then give me a error about lost communication and try again.
I tried a couple of times and same issue. Then after coming back to try about 2 hours later, I can't run the program any more. I get a unexpected error. Any ideas on how to fix both issues?
I followed the guide and uninstalled those programs that it listed. And installed the drivers that it needed.
do you have the latest version of unrevoked?
I do or at least I think I do. I went to their page and got it directly from them.
I got the program running again, guess my comp needed to be turned off for awhile. But I still get comm lost unexpectedly with phone error.
I can hear the usb sound being played for something being connected and disconnected. Any ideas on how to stop that?
If you ever had HTC sync installed on your pc there are two apps that need to be uninstalled. Both are called HTC 'something'. Go to Add/Remove programs and make sure both are gone.
Also, did you read the unrevoked faq? There are other programs that can cause problems if installed on your pc.

can U please help me out? I'm trying to root and upgrade to Android 2.2 on my htc mytouch 3g slide but when my phone is on recovery mode, cmd adb doesnt show my phone is in recovery, all its shows is that my device is in offline mode....I can't move to the next step without this.....Please help me, I need specific instructions.
Thanks
Flo_baby:
I would go to the MT3G forums, and start there. U likely wont get alot of help in the Droid incredible forums. Since its two different phones and one is cdma the other is gsm they are also two different beast entirely

hey guys i have installed CM7 custom vers, but it does not working properly so i want to flash back to 2.2.1 official version, but my computer does not detec the phone, i already install htc sync software, it always said THE DEVICE IS NOT CONNECTED. when i run the firmware, it said USB error. so does anyone know what problem am i having? or any solution to flash back to official version, please help me out. thanks guys
Before we do that, I'm just curious as to what went wrong with CM7?
Not saying that I won't help or anything, but like I said, I'm just curious.
I would suggest going to recovery, and factory reset your phone.. then re-apply CM7.
Save your important stuff tho.. (contacts should be backed up automatically)
Google "how to root mytouch slide the unlockr" and their should be a result that says something about the exploid method of rooting the slide! on that page find USBDeview. Download and extract the zip file. Then, run the program (If you are windows XP, just double click, if its Vista or Win. 7, you must right click and run as admin!) And withOUT the phone plugged in, uninstall all drivers that have to do with HTC or Android! Then, plug your phone in and it should properly reinstall the drivers, see if this works

hey all,
ive been a member for a while, but have never posted. i usually am always reading and trying to keep up with updates, and how to's... i am currently running liberated Aria FROO8 (2.6.32.17-cyanogen-Liberty), and have been for some time. i am nervous usually when it comes to rom updates, so i dont update constantly (if anyone has a great rom i should update to, please dont hesitate to shout it out). the problem was when i decided to update to Clockworkmod recovery 3.2 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003723
now, my computer does not recognize my phone, and will only charge the phone. i have tried to reinstall unrevoked, but when i go through the steps, my device manager or registers it as My Htc, and i cannot update using the drivers i downloaded. it seems that its the computer not accepting the phone and not the phone restricting anything. please, please, can someone help, i need to be able to access my phone on my computer, and i have read all 33 pages of the forum thread i linked above. what do i need to do? is there a way to uninstall the recovery 3.2? if i were to upgrade to a new ROM, would the computer still not recognize the computer. i realize as well, after the fact, that i installed the recovery meant for the Desire.

Sorry, I'm a bit confused by your post, but if I've read correctly you have an Aria, not a Desire HD. You shouldn't flash the CWM you linked to - it's compiled specifically for the Desire HD. I'm not sure how you would get a working unrevoked back on your phone - it might be better to ask in the Aria forums.
Apologies if I've misunderstood your question.
Thanks again for posting so quickly. i am gonna post my same problem on the Aria page, and hopefully i can find someone who knows. the only reason i posted here, was because i got the CWM on the page that i linked, someone mentioned roughly the same problem i had:
"When i plug in the USB cable it says " Fastboot USB "
and my windows gives a popup " Device Driver Not correctly installed "
plus it seemed to be the computer that wasn't allowing the device to be found and installed. just to clear up my problem: it was exactly what you said, i downloaded and tried to install CWM 3.2 on an Aria phone, and i think the computer is waiting for me to plug in a Desire. Since i have the Aria, it cannot. hopefully i can get this fixed.
thanks again
sullylove
on my post to Aria Q/A i added this:
how can i get my computer to recognize this Aria without having to reboot everything and try to start from scratch, does anyone know if i need to reinstall CWM and which one would work for me. when i plugged my phone after install, its states that device driver not installed correctly. then when i run through the instructions loacated here:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how...droid-devices/
and here:
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/do...driver_install
and neither load a correct driver onto my computer, my computer does not register it as Other Device/Android 1.0, it registers it as My Htc.
hopefully it will clear things up
sullylove
is there also a way to delete the CWM 3.2 i installed on the computer, i cant seem to find it anywhere, where would it be
To be honest, any advice I could give might not be correct for the Aria. I imagine that you could flash an RUU and start again from scratch with unrevoked, but there may be a simpler way to restore the correct recovery. Your best bet is really the Aria forums. I hope you get it working!
As for removing the CWM from your PC, it depends how you installed it. Some of the recoveries come as a zip file, so look for where you downloaded it to and possibly a folder with the same name as the zip.
