[Q] No more ADB, what could happen? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, a strange thing happened to my DHD, there is no more adb device.. USB Debugging is ON and i tried to trigger it on and off, only the message appears, but no new device.. Tested on 3 PCs..
What coud be the reason?

I few reasons I can think of
-Make sure you're on "charge only" (but you allready knew that)
-Usb thethering can interfere so make sure thats off.
-I read about a bug when you change from wallcharger to usb charge before you --use adb, so make sure you don't do that.
- check you'r drivers
- reboot
Hope it'll help..

Also make sure the HTC drivers are up to date; install HTC Sync (and uninstall if you want, just don't turn on HTC Sync on your phone), connect with charge only and hope for the best

Desire isn't being recognized by HTC Sync after update

Afternoon all,
I debranded my desire using an RUU flashing it to 1.15.405.4 but now HTC Sync isn't recognizing the phone, it is just coming up as 'Disconnected' yet it is still being recognized as a removable disk when in disk drive mode so it can't be a USB brick.
I can't get ADB working either since the phone isn't being recognized so it isn't installing the required ADB drivers for the phone. I can't go back to my stock firmware either because USB Debugging has to be installed correctly for the RUU to run. I had no problems initially, but after upgrading to this ROM I have seemed to have this problems.
I want to root, but if I can't have access to the ADB a root would not be possible? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
If anyone has any advice I would be glad to hear it. Thanks
I have the same problem with HTC Sync - just can't get it to see the phone. Hopwever to get ADB working make sure you have USB Debugging turned on in the settings under Applications / Development / USB Debugging.

Thanks for the reply.
I have USB Debugging turned on in the menu, but it seems to not be recognized. I have done all the command prompts in cmd, but it doesn't list the device under ADB devices. Hmm.. :/
I had the same problem after all my updates, that worked for me, restart your pc and restart the phone, leave it plugged in by usb, it worked every time for me, hope that will help.
I restarted my computer then phone - leaving the USB plugged in, but it's still not being recognized. Am I doing the steps the wrong way round?
It's annoying because this is stopping me from rooting at the moment and I really want to get my hands on froyo!
Thanks
I'm not to sure I'm a newbie to all this, what I did was tun the phone and pc off, turn the phone back on first then turn the pc on as soon as the pc detects the phone put the phone on sync, and so far it always worked for me after a update, maybe you have a different problem maybe a proper dev can help you out.

Tried the above a couple of times, no luck. Thanks for the help though.
Hope someone knows a fix cause I'm eager to root my phone and get onto some froyo goodness! haha

The HTC drivers are pretty damn bad with regards to Sync. I always do adb-related work in recovery for that very reason - I can almost never get Sync working.
Can you get adb working in recovery?
Ok here is what worked for me
1- Uninstall the HTC sync and the HTC drivers
2- open MSConfig and disable all non microsoft services
3- restart windows
4- install HTC sync
5- Connect the phone and it will connect
6- re enable the disabled services and restart Windows
Does it work normally every time after that, or do you have to go through that jazz every time?
Hopefully it works every time - I'll give that a shot if so.
Hi,
The ADB isn't being found in Command prompt it outputs 'list of devices' but there is no device listed. All drivers are installed as well.
I will try the above and see if that helps.
Cheers
Hi Matey, I had this exact same problem after rooting my desire last night - basically check task manager for any adb processes and kill em, if that still doesn't work re-run the htc sync install and select repair and it'll be ok again.
I had to do this on my home laptop which I used for the root, but also on my works laptop even though this was turned off and not used for rooting at all so think it's an issue with htc sync not seeing the same phone, but at the same time seeing the same phone and getting confused.....
so - reinstall using repair and reboot and all should be well matey...
Thanks for the help guys.
I had to reinstall Windows for other reasons, and after I reinstalled HTC Sync it still wouldn't recognize the phone but ADB is working so I can do all the shell commands.
Cheers for all the help.
I take my above post back. The phone is now not being recognized by ADB, it seems to have occurred after I have turned my computer back on. Windows installed some updates and I'm wondering whether they might have had an affect.
Anyone had any experiences in the same sense?

[Q] cannot change connect to pc connection/connection default as charging

i had notice there is alot similar post to this problem but none really solved it. so i start this thread to make it more specific
1) once connected to pc, my wildfire automatically charge
2) no pop-up or option on the top to slide down to select either htc sync, mount as sd card, etc
3) tried reboot, mount unmount card, untick usd debugging, changed other rom, but still not working.
4) if connected to pc still automatically charging even if i change "default connection type" to disk drive, or usb tethering
5) i tick "ask me" so i can choose the connection type when connect to pc, but when connected to pc, nothing. just charging.
i'm rooted, using hg hybrid v3 (problem was there before i flash HG rom). it used to work before. i dont recalled when was the last time it start to behave like this. all this time i thought i set the connection default to charging, but when i want to transfer songs, only then i realised this problem. i m not sure which custom rom might cause this problem (if it does) because i had flash more than 10 roms
i have same problem with cm7
I haven't try to format my sd card. because when I connect without sd card, still no connect option. if my card is malfunction/the main problem, then my phone should work fine n show the connect option after I remove the card, right? (I do have connection option on the setting. what I meant no connection option is the pop up conection menu+connection option on the top bar. changing the connection on the setting change nothing)
I too have this prob but never questioned this as i never use htc sync. But if u really wanna use it try this i'm not sure it may work or not but mostly its due to driver problem:
1.Connect your device in htc sync mode.
2.Uninstall or Remove all drivers of htc and also htc sync.
3.Disconnect your device and Restart your pc.
4.Reinstall htc sync and connect your device in htc sync mode.
5.It'll install fresh drivers for your device and if asked to restart then do it else run htc sync.
If you are running vista or later try to run htc sync in administrator mode.
I'm not sure this method work but there's no problem on trying it. Reply your result after doin above steps
I also think the problem might related to my driver but I remember that when I first connect to my pc, there will be pop up menu, and my phone automatically recognized as "disk drive" (I m not install HTC driver yet. infact ,I install the driver after my phone connected to my pc through disk drive connection since the driver located on the SD card). nway, I"ll try your method and post the result later.
I just notice this might not work..the problem is I cannot change the connection. even if I did, it doesn't change the connection. it just charging.. as if I put it on default "charging" as it connect. but I will try later anyway
When i connect my phone the debugging icon shows up and my pc makes the noise but doesnt let me choose mass storage (running cm7). it shows up on my pc on drive f: but when i click it just says please insert a disc into removable storage F:
xynok, did u tried untick the usb debugging? go to setting, application, development, untick usb debugging. u still lucky at least it prompt u something if u connect to pc, mine nothing. its like I plug it to the socket wall not pc

not working..
try this if u r using sense roms . Also try this for AOSP roms, if there is an option(i dont know about AOSP).
Go to Settings/Applications/Manage applications/All/
Then search for "Connect to PC". Actually in stock roms that was an app by htc. But there must be something similar to that in AOSP roms. Then open that and select, "Force stop" , "Clear data", "Clear cache".
I dont know for sure if that solves the issue or not. But have a try.
And by seeing this thread, actually i got a doubt, "can we synchronise the htc sync in AOSP custom roms". Since AOSP is nothing but removing the HTC crap. Can someone confirm this .......

nope. still nothing. anyway since it had this problem, I had wipe my wildfire few times, n try different rom.. maybe it is because of faulty cable. but if the cable is the culprit, why it still charging? is it possible the cable is broken but still can charging?

Not telling that it should be, but definitely there is a possibility of a cable culprit.
The USB male/female end has 4 connections in which two connections are used for voltage and the remaining two connections are used for data transfer.
There might be a possibility that the data connection got broken with voltage connection retaining. Try with another cable (any USB v2 cable).
And one more thing, for having the disk drive option, nothing need to be installed in the pc. U need to install htc driver in the pc only if u want to use usb debugging , usb tethering.
[But at the wildfire end the cable has 5 connections and i dont know what the 5th one is for. mostly it will be a NO CONNECTION]
Now i got another idea to diagnose ur issue.
Well do u know of application "pdanet". It uses USB DEBUGGING feature to tether ur phone internet to PC. Actually usb debugging can be used both under charge mode and disk drive mode. What u can know on doing this is whether usb debugging through ur phone is working or not. U can diagnose the thing while checking with every app that uses usb debugging. So try it. Enable the usb debugging in phone first.
---Install pdanet desktop version and follow the setup instructions. It asks to connect ur phone during setup to install usb driver and also pdanet.apk to mobile. Connect ur phone with usb debugging enabled. I doubt whether desktop version installs or not because of ur issue. Mostly desktop version of pdanet will not install without a phone connected having usb debugging enabled. And if the desktop version is installed successfully, that means ur phone usb debugging is working. And if desktop version is installed successfully, that means it also installed the mobile version of pdanet.apk to ur phone (which says that data transfer is working). Then open the pdanet on phone and enable usb tether. Then open pdanet from desktop and connect. Then see whether u r able to access internet from pc.
---One more method is try to use ADB from android sdk. It also uses the usb debugging feature.
If adb and pdanet works, that means usb debugging feature on ur phone is working. If it is so, then it is mostly not a cable problem (as far as i know). And if they dont work there is a chance that it is a cable problem.
......................................................................................................................................................................................
And one more thing. If u have used a stock rom (freshly formatted), and faced the issue, then it is mostly not a software problem. Then it might be cable problem or some kind of problem in ur phone. Also check ur phone radio version. Thats all.
bharatgaddameedi, i cant install pdanet. it say android phone not detected. error =103. i think u were right. its hardware related problem but its look like not the cable. most probably its my wildfire usb jack. i test the cable with other mobile, its working (test it on nokia 5800). before i had this problem, sometime i use htc cable to transfer data for my 5800, and some time i used 5800 cable to transfer data for my wildfire. the difference between the two cable pin might damage my wildfire usb jack.. (u said htc cable got 5 pin, so i asume nokia got 4?)

So, pdanet not detecting the phone means usb debugging is also not working under charge mode. That should be phone hardware related problem like u have said about usb jack.
And No. All the micro USB version 2 cables will be the same. Its same for 5800 and wildfire. I use my previous 5233 cable to my wildfire even now.
The usb jack of wildfire may damage if u have used it in an improper way. Something like pressure on the cable when connected and so on...
So, its not something we can solve here. That should be given to service centre as far as i know

Can't be. I am using my N82's data cable for data transfers on my Wildfire from Day 1. The provided data cable is pretty much permanently attached to the wall charger.
I accept the fact that it might be hardware problem but there is one more thing I want to try. how about flashing stock rom from pc? flashing 2.1 is ok since it can be rooted again. I had flash stock rom but from the clockwork mod, not from pc, and the hboot is been remove for save flashing. I never try this before because all this time I thought that the problem was cause by custom rom, so I just need to find the right custom Rom.
How can u flash a stock Rom from pc when the usb is not functioning. RUU will not work.
Things get worse when basic things stop functioning.

Cannot install RUU from htc dev

So I'm trying to unlock the bootloader so I can install some nice roms.
How ever when I try to install the update RUU HTC advices me to install nothing happens.
I get to "Connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable that came with your phone. Wait a moment for your computer to identify your phone, this may take a few minutes.
If your computer cannot find your phone, you may need to install HTC Sync. You can download HTC Sync here.
"
How ever the phone never gets recognized so running the RUU causes it to load and then close before giving me any options.
Hboot version is 0.90.0000 software version is 2.13.351.1
I've looked all over XDA and google for answers and couldn't find anything that worked.
Is there any other way to flash the RUU ? Fastboot maybe? ( I tried just running the RUU whilst in fastboot usb and it RUU still loads and then closes)
Oh yeah, trying to do all this on Win7 x64
*edit* Running the phone in usb storage mode allowed it to run, how ever thus far it does not seem to be working. Got an error message saying a directory was full. It's now" Veryifing information on your pda phone" been doing it a while though.
First:
Go into Settings, then choose Connect to PC.
Make sure "Ask Me" has a checkmark on it.
Second:
In the settings choose Applications, then Development and make sure USB debugging is checked off also.
When you connect the USB cable to the computer now do you get a message on your phone?
You should have three chooses for USB type; charge only, HTC Synch and Disk Drive.
If you are not getting this option then your computer is not connecting to the phone via USB. Either bad usb cable, bad usb port, or something wrong with the phone.
EDIT
Sorry just saw your edit. disregard my comment.

I get all these options, I can access the disk drive if I choose that option, if I choose sync that works etc.
Only this RUU that gives me problems
*EDIT* WOOO! found a work around, run RUU with storage mode on, then switch back to charge only after accepting disclaimer.
*Edit again* and of course, just as things seem to be going well the installer crashes, now the phone is stuck on some silver HTC logo.
It crashes as soon as it tells the phone to reboot to bootloader.
Bumping this instead of making a new thread.
Still having this issue if anyone can help.

[Q] HTC M8 not being seen in adb

OK using a windows 8.1 Pro laptop, ADB installed properly with HTC Sync Manager, both Windows, HTC Sync Manager and the Device Manager in the Control Panel can see my phone. I tick on USB debugging and then press revoke USB debugging authorizations. Unplug my phone and plug it back in. I'm using the original USB cable from HTC. Everything pops up and shows like it's connected, except when I type in
Code:
adb devices
in the command prompt, then it just comes up blank. I've attached screen shots so you guys can see what I am talking about. If you have any ideas it would be much appreciated. I've attached some photos just to show that I've dotted all my i's and crossed all my t's as far as I can see. I also want to point out this is the second computer I've tried this on.

1) Unplug the phone from your computer
2) Uninstall anything related to HTC (drivers, sync managers..)
3) Reboot the computer
4) Install the latest (direct URL) HTC Sync Manager
5) I tend to uninstall the manager right afterwards (optional)
6) Reboot the computer & plug in your device
7) Report back

Yeah that didn't work, I even tried installing the USB Driver manually and that didn't work either. Still comes up as not connected, it's super frustrating.
Not sure if this helps but for some reason my Android Phone isn't showing up under Android phone in my Device Manager, it's showing up as Portable Devices. I don't know if this is an issue or not, anyone care to give an opinion?

That's normal as the phone is using MTP, the Android Phone entry only appears once the drivers are installed. It's definitely a driver issue but as to what I can't say as I have no issues on my 8.1 Pro laptop
I think I figured something out, just flash CM 12 - (God it's amazing. ) and now I can see my phone on ADB, so whatever ****ery was going on I am blaming it on HTC stock rom.

is cm12 worth the hassle?
Sorry for the necrobump, but I ran across this thread while researching the same issue on my M8 and wanted to save anyone else the trouble if they also stumbled across this same issue.
Though the solution discussed would likely work, if you don't want to hassle with a new ROM, it is possible to fix it on your existing ROM provided you have root.
[SOLVED] ADB 'unauthorized', no RSA prompt, and no 'Revoke USB debugging' option

Thanks for this guide you put up. Interesting that there was no option for you to revoke USB authorization. My device is S-ON and have been using Viper for a while with the option available. Same for HTC stock. Good for you getting that fixed. Had a similar issue on a different device months ago.

[Q] Problem with the charging port

Hi all ! I am new here (sorry for my english by the way)
I tried to find something about my problem on many forums but I can't find anything ! I tought hère was the best place to find an answer to my question
I have an HTC one m8 with the Skydragon Lollipop ! I have this since like 2 months... My charging dock was perfect, but since abouth a month, I can charge my phone, but if I plug my HTC in the computer, the computer don't see it... The only way to sync things in my cellphone is to put my phone on Recovery mode !!
Do you know why ? Is there a way to fix this ?
Thanks
Try revoking the USB debugging authorizations* and accepting it again when the PC asked. Make sure the drivers are up to date as well(On the PC) , you might also want to try the generic drivers for Android device. Uninstall HTC drivers and HTC Sync, go to device manager and select Android MTP drivers. You could also try a different port, maybe it's a USB 3.0 issue, try a different cable if you have one(just in case).
* You can revoke USB debugging authorizations inside the developer options.
If you can access device through recovery then it can't necessarily be a usb port issue, seeing as it sees it there.

When I am in recovery I can access my things with Android File Transfer, but not with HTC sync manager.. Forgot to tell you that I have a Mac I dont know if it change something except that there's only 3.0 usb ports !! ( about a month ago I was able to transfer things with HTC sync manager though !!
I tried revoking the USB debigging and acceptant them again but it still not working :/ Also tried to reinstall HTC sync manager but it's not working neither ! Also tried different USB cables, but nothing to do with that neither !!
Thank you so much for the help !!
