ive done a search and can't find anything!
Do you have HTC Sync installed? I think you have a driver issue there. Also try unplugging the usb lead and trying another port on your pc. If all else fails, the red triangle is a safe place to just remove the battery and start again.
Firstly you should install HTC Sync on your PC and ensure that you have USB drivers loaded for your android device. The correct drivers should be in the C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x86 folder.
Once that is established, remove and reinsert the USB cable a few times to make sure the driver is loaded and active. Then run the recovery-windows.bat from the cmd box.
then you will get the screen on your phone, using the optical trackpad select wipe, then flash from SD card. Then you are good to go.
I did this yesterday and ran into the same issues as you.
BTW I base this on using Windows 7 32bit.

thanks a lot mate, i pulled the battery out and im back to normal.
yeh i think its a htc sync issue too. I have htc sync installed, but after i did step 1 (or 2 i cant remember) the computer came up with the install new hardware wizard
Better doing it via the TinyCore linux method - Windows method doesn't work properly (for me anyway). Recovery in Windows is fine, though

If you know how to burn a cd you could go over to modaco and there is a thread by craigcrawford about rooting using the r3 method.. basically if you follow that you will have linux running from the disc and all the files needed are on it also. I've never used linux before and found it really easy. That way you won't run into any driver issues.
Just be careful, take your time and always remember that there are now over 60 confirmed handsets that are usb bricked!
Good luck

Yeah I think this is where I am having the problem. When I connect my phone to my pc it has the popup saying android phone connected, but HTC Sync still says "disconnected"
I'll try some stuff.

Also just try a simple reboot of your pc to stop any old adb stuff running and it might help clear any driver issues.
Sorry if this seems like an obvious thing to try, but sometimes the obvious stuff is what catches us out

Make sure when you boot the phone up into recovery that you leave the USB cable disconnected and only reconnect once the red triangle appears.
I find if I leave it in, when it starts to boot on the HTC screen Windows goes a bit funny and fails to install the driver.

"USB Device Not Recognized"
I have searched for so long trying to figure out what's wrong. I'm out of idea's on how to fix it, nothing will recognize my Evo.
Tried on 4 different computers, two of them running 7, one running xp, and last running vista, all say the same thing, computers not the problem.
Downloaded htc sync, disabled/enabled usb debugging, restarted the phone many times, restarted computers, and even changed the default usb connection to HDD and HTC sync.
I rooted using the idiot proof guide and used the Sprint Rom he linked in the guide. Would love some help. Thanks!
Try downloading the auto sync app in market

Just tried that and still not recognizing it.
Which HTC Sync did you try? I think the latest is 2.0.40
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
set the EVO connection type to HTC SYNC and USB DEBUGGING ENABLED.
Assuming you've used ADB, what response you you get from
ADB DEVICES at the command prompt?
you should get something like
C:\>adb devices
adb server is out of date
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT05EHL10353 device
and we will know you have a good physical connection to the computers. If it doesnt show up, try a different USB cable....

Thanks for the help! I checked for my device in ADB and it does not list it, so i guess my cable is probably bad. I'll go out and buy another and hopefully that fixes the problem.

When i connect my phone in recovery mode, it still just says device not recognized, so i can't really do that.
Sorry but bump, i relly need help with this.
It still says unknown device when i try to connect my phone in recovery mode.
Go into your computers device manager and uninstall the device and htc sync, then reinstall sync and make sure usb debugging is on then plug it in
Edit: sorry, go into the device manager with it plugged in. if its not there (should be a yellow or red triangle next to it or neat the to as a HID) them it could be your cable or phones port.

I think you need to pay closer attention to the guide, because this statement makes no sense in reference to the guide.
The guide is helping you install ADB drivers, you don't need to do anything in ADB while your phone is in recovery in that guide.
Could be wrong, but I'm still fairly certain that the guide will fix your issue, because I had the same problem.
It's as simple as you do not have the correct, or any ADB drivers, therefore your phone is not showing up as a device under ADB. Once you have the proper drivers installed, your device will show up.

I followed the simple guide step by step.
When i boot into recovery mode i end up with this in the picture.
His recovery mode shows an Evo with a little exclamation mark next to it, i'm guessing what i got is still recovery mode. But still if i plug my phone in my computer still says unknown device, so i can't install ADB drivers.

You just have a different recovery. Once you are in recovery, you don't need to do anything else on your phone specifically.
Instead, connect your phone to your PC via USB if it isn't already and open up device manager on your PC and follow the rest of the guide.
Edit: Where does it say unknown device? In Device Manager?

It shows up in usb controllers instead of other devices as he shows in the guide. If i try to update the driver it just tells me it's already up to date.
>Sorry yea it does say unknown device in device manager.
Gotta bump, would really love to just fix this instead of driving 30 mins to a sprint store.
So i followed the guide for installing apb drivers, but even in recovery mode my phone still shows up as unknown device in device manager.
Ok, well I just ran into this myself on my secondary computer. Have you tried a different USB port on your PC?
My front ones were giving me unknown device, but as soon as I plugged it into one of the ports on the back of the mobo ADB showed right up in device manager.
Factory reset it and get it exchanged.I belief is the SD card failure issue.

I have the same problem and posted this question on 3 forums including the HTC support forum and nobody has been able to find the correct solution.
I know the cable and the port is good because I can connect my Samsung Moment to it and it works perfectly. On the Evo, I've downloaded the latest HTC Sync from the official HTC site, tried the one on the microsd card, checked and un-checked USB debugging, and still it doesn't connect.
The Evo won't connect to my Win 7 computer at home, Win XP at work, but it will connect to my daughters computer which is running Win XP also (all 32 bit).
I bought this Evo from Best Buy exactly 28 days ago today. Do they give you 30 days to return it, or is that only the Sprint store?
They do give u 30 day trial.go get it exchanged or...........

Hi,
I have an HTC Desire (2 months), and I was wondering if I could root it without flashing anything (a new rom). And if so, how?
Is this step enough? ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8729606&postcount=3 )
Thanks in advance,

If you just want to root it for now then you just need to use unrEVOked 3.21

Hi, today a have tried to root my htc desire using revoked 2 method. I was unable to install usb drivers. And now i cant even mount desire as hard drive. Computer still reports that device is unknown. I tried different usb ports, 2 different cabels, windows xp and seven. Before everything worked fine. Do you thing it is possible, that i damaged phone, when i plug it out just disconnecting cable?
Which version of unrEVOked did you try? I seems like a driver issue as you have to install the modified Hboot drivers for unrEVOked in a certain way before unrEVOked will work. If you attempted root with unrEVOked 3.21, did you follow the steps mentioned in thi thread?:

and after that i am unable to connect desire to pc... no way...seems like something happend with usb driver in phone or i dont know...just i ve tried 3 computers for now and every reports same when I connect usb, that device is unknown

Hmm... yes i see what you mean. Unrevoked is fussy regarding drivers. Try the following:
1) Uninstall HTC Sync completely, the HTC Driver Setup, and HTC BMP Driver if present.
2) Reboot and reinstall the HTC Sync software (latest version).
3) Now uninstall HTC Sync Alone. Keep other two (HTC Driver Setup and HTC BMP Driver) installed.
4) Reboot your PC again.
Note: do not connect phone to PC at all and make sure the phone is switched off.
5) Switch your phone to the Bootloader screen. Connect the phone via USB and it should show Fastboot USB.
6) Windows will show the device detection dialog box - at this point, stop Windows from getting the driver from Windows Update, and manually choose the location of the driver as the folder where Unrevoked driver is present.
7) After this is done, diconnect phone again.
8) Go through the unrEVOked guide and connect the phone when advised to.
If this fails, then try unrEVOked 3.22 (in my sig below) and see how that goes and although you have mentioned that you have tried 3 different PC's, you may have to consider trying it on a different OS platform, such as Linux.

Try downloading the Android SDK: installer_r08-windows.exe
Follow the steps in this video to hopefully get the appropriate USB drivers - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N66J6UiN5Pg&feature=player_embedded
EDIT:
With the phone connected, try the following afterwards:
Check to make sure that you have USB Debugging enabled on your phone.
In Device Manager, right-click your Unknown Android device and select 'Update Driver Software'. Browse to the folder (extract the zip to the Desktop) i have attached below and see if it installs them.

I agree... it is clearly an HBOOT driver issue or the phone... Windows (PC host) drivers are seperate. I was just running out of ideas really
The only definate way of knowing if it is the device that is causing this issue is if you were to try it on a non-Windows related OS, like Linux and maybe it would work for you using an Ubuntu Live CD.

Yes, because it is not as fussy with drivers as Windows is - with Windows, they have to be properly removed from its cache. With Linux, the phone should be detected ok (unless the phone is at fault).

So, linux didnt work either, system didnt even recognize that anything was plug in. Even crossed fingers dident help Well only last thing I have to ask, if there is any possibility to recover hboot, restore it somehow. Forexample through recovery menu in hboot loader and some kind of .zip file, that i will put to SD card. If not, well I will have to step out to that freezing weather and walk to orange store for reclamation, which I hope would be positive for me, but something telling me it surely will.
I found something about usb unbrick here on xda forum, but is only for root phones
well i found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9056719&postcount=15 i think it could work, just i dont know a way how to discover my CID number..to modify mtd0.img file
ok, i did everything step by step using rageagainstthecage tutorial, but nothing happend at all.
If anyone could help...
Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I suppose running your stock RUU in Hboot won't make a difference then... how about trying the PB99IMG method, which involves renaming the extracted rom.zip file to PB99IMG.zip from your stock RUU, placing this to the root of your SD card and then letting it run from Fastboot mode. This would restore your stock Hboot. You could also try AlphaRev's modified 0.93 HBOOT with S-OFF?
Anyone got any idea why this might be happening?
One remark in the Revolution HD ROM thread suggested starting again from scratch (re-locking) - I hope that's excessive...
Do you think it's because of the amount of data on my SD? or perhaps I should remove a file it's getting caught up on?
[Fixed]
Either by unplugging the AC charger, or deleting a bundle of large, non-flashable .zip files on my SD card.

USB Powered problem?
Looks like the problem is not FIXED for me. I'm still stuck at the HBOOT checking SD card update screen while attempting to root the device. I just got the phone today and followed all instructions to successfully unlock the bootloader. Now this thing is driving me crazy. I read on another thread that the USB charging might contribute to this problem, but I really don't know how to fix this. The SD storage is at default state. I only copied the SuperSU zip file while following the instructions. Please help.
PS: I noticed that the phone is not fully charged. It is somewhere below 50% power. Could this be the case?
Do you flash the custom recovery after successfully unlock the bootloader ?
I couldn't even get into FASTBOOT to type in the necessary commands. It's just stuck there at HBOOT Checking SD Update...Unplugging and replugging the USB cable got me in with FASTBOOT USB, but then the FLASH RECOVERY IMG command prompt execution just got stuck at waiting for device. So no recovery whatsoever at this stage.

Pull USB Cable and it will work, then put it in again
Already tried that mate. The command prompt shows waiting for device and stuck there.

Try reinstall HTC Sync for the drivers perhaps!?
Your SDK Kit with fastboot and adb commands is working?
Reboot PC?

Yes. I used those to unlock the bootloader. And if HTC Sync is the problem, I wouldn't be surprised. It doesn't detect the phone when it is plugged in . Even the installation was troublesome. I had to set to Windows XP compatibility to install it on Win8 CP 64bit

So you do have "My Htc" under Android USB Devices when checking the Device Manager in your PC, maybe uninstall and reinstall HTC Sync will help ?
Uhm no. I don't have anything that's called My HTC or Android and the like in my device manager . Don't know why but I got through the bootloader unlocking process by following the HTCDev instructions
Then download the Htc Sync and install it as it will install the required driver. You can uninstall the htc sync but leave the driver.
Give it a try and see how it goes.
Uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync a dozen times, still no luck. I highly suspect the drivers are incompatible with Windows 8 x64 at the moment. Like I said, the installation requires WinXP compatibility mode, otherwise the installer gave me the 'administration privileges' error, even though it was 'run as administrator' already . HTC Sync itself didn't detect my phone at all when it was plugged in. Better wait for HTC Sync Manager then
I just updated the HTC sync from the link above and the installation went smoothly. The different is I'm on Windows 8 32 bit. I remember that Htc Sync is working fine for my other laptop which was on windows 8 x64 but unable to test it now as I reverted to windows 7.
Strange. The link you provided clearly said the latest version was 3.2.20. But when I pressed download, the exe file said 3.2.10? Perhaps they forgot to update their download server? Damn. I had high hope with the One X. But looks like I'll stick with the iPhone a bit longer, until HTC sorts things out.
