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.

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.
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
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.

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?
Hey ive been trying to root my evo all day it is on version 2.1-update1. I was able to root my brothers perfectly fine using the downloads and tutorial from the idiot-proof guide to rooting by thebiles. But on mine I get stuck right at the beginning, when i try to flash the PC36IMG my bootloader says main version older. I feel like ive tried everything if anyone can help I'd reallly appreciate it thanks.
Try simple root, and keep trying. I got that same error even with simple root on my buddies 3 times before it worked. Don't know why. Maybe try copying the pc36img to the sd card instead of letting simple root push it...gl!
I agree with the simple root approach. Not trying to highjack your post but I have a question back at you if I may. You say you have one root EVO and one not root? If so the the root has PRI 1.34 and the nonroot 1.40? Could you perhaps do a data speed comparison on these and post the results? I am real curious...
sorry man i saw your post like 2 minutes too late the simpleroot worked right before i refreshed this page thanks for the help though guys appreciate it
one more quick question while PC36IMG was flashing the 2nd "tp" file said bypassed next to it rather than OK like all the others and the first tp had a blank next to it...is this a problem i should look into before unlocking the nand and all that other good stuff?
No problem glad you got it working. This was kinda like going to the casino...getting up to go to the bathroom...coming back to see someone hit the jackpot on your machine....hahaha!!!
That is normal....mine did that.
thanks man appreciate it...one more question for anyone that can help, im using the idiot proof guide and im on step 56 but when i try to enter the adb shell i get an error from command prompt saying "error: more than one device and emulator" i entered the shell perfectly fine like 2 steps before that and used it to flash the new pc36img rom but now i get this error to enter shell again how do i fix this error?
Okay I came here thinking this might finally be it... but nope I tried all the solutions mentioned here but to no avail. I am frustrated and still getting the main version is older. Does anyone know what is causing this error. Please I'm using usb debugging I wiped and backed my SD and have ota that came out in June. I installed Microsoft net frame and htc drivers. I updated simple root and the update log said this was to fix the error but still getting the same error. Any suggestions
I have the same issue, pretty much have tried everything with no luck, kind bummed at the moment, hope someone can help
Thanks
I got to work FINALLY!!!!!
So finally i got the main version error older NO MORE. So i decided to share what i did in hopes that it will work for all of you frustrated out there.
1) Download simple root from xda forum, dont download it anywhere else. The first time i tried i downloaded it at another android forum and even though it may seem the same, this version for some reason was not pushing the files as it suppose to. So again download from forum. Search for it on XDA.
2) Be patient and prepare yourself.
3) Make sure you on the 147 ota version. Not froyo. or before any version before ota because you can use old simple root.
4) After you download it extract it to a folder. Choose whatever location suits you i like desktop so i can delete file after i use it and keep zip. Be sure to update the program. Open it and let it search for downlaod or go to root folder and search for the updater.
5) Before running the program check the obvious. Is usb debugging enable, Do i have microsoft netframe, Are my phone drivers correct. Is the usb cable correctly connected to my computer and phone. Did i choose charge only when connected to the computer.
6) Now on your phone, and this step did it for me, go to Settings>SDandPhoneStorage>FactoryDataReset. Brace yourself this will wipe data it will not change your version. But if you want do a backup the folder of your contacts and whatever you have in your SD card, this is the time to do so. Mount as disk drive, and remember to change back to CHARGE ONLY. I skipped this because rooting was more important than my girlfriends phone number.
7) Now youre noobiness is ready connect phone double check Step 5. In case you missed something.
8) Run the simple root downloaded from XDA forum. Wait for it to push files is wont take long but me patient. Think of it passing 180mb to sd card so it takes some time.
9) Phone will reboot in a screen with skating androids Push power button and WAIT. It will find file and you shouldnt be getting "main version older" reboot error you where getting if you paid close attention to detail. Now update push volume up.
10) Why so impatient wait for it to update files. Once its down just push volume up for reboot. First time it reboots after root or when u flash a rom it usually takes longer, enough to get u nervous but dont be WAIT.
11) Easy sailing now but youre not done yet. Hit recovery once your phone reboot. Choose the method you want i chose Clockwork it works just fine for flashing roms.
12) Congrats your fully root and can flash that cool rom youve been reading about. Suggestions: DamageControl or Cyanogen but go ahead and try whichever you like.
13) YOURE DONE WOOF
If for some reason, it happened to me with AvaFroyo, when you flash your rom it goes on a loop and keeps rebooting dont panic that is what the recovery is for just put your microSD on a card reader delete the rom that is giving you problem and place another one and Reflash. Read how to flash rom you have to wipe on Recovery menu everytime you flash a different rom.
I hope this helps...Its in plain english not Dev English so...
Hey guys,
I tried getting some help for this over at the Nook Color threads because it all started *after* i rooted my NC, but no one's been able to explain to me what Ive done wrong or whats happened...
So here's the sitch.
o I have ADB installed, but it only activates in device manager when the nook is plugged in, not the G2
o When the NC get usb'd to the PC, it fully registers and gives me access to the SD card on it
o .... where as the G2 just sits there and says "yay im getting power!"
o ,,,, BUT if i plug it into a HUB rather than directly into a usb port on the mobo or front, the PC (win7 x64 ult) seems to see it but doesnt know how to properly assign a driver to it and gives it UNKNOWN
o also i checked the usb-adb ini file, and it lists all my other devices in the hardware cues BUT the G2, which means it hasnt properly registered since then or never had a proper profile to begin with in the PC. It even has my older mt3G listed which I havent plugged in since all this started.
Ive tried multiple driver types, but literately, NOTHING has worked. Its like the G2 isnt even properly registering in the computer when connected. I tried a factory reset, but still no luck. Is there anything beyond a soft fact reset for an unrooted phone? I mean, i need COLD AS STONE back to day 1 reset.
Please help, I really want to root this :'<
and no, the only way now to access my sd card is to turn the thing off and use a reader. Like i said, it literately is NOT seeing it :<
Wrong section. Ask in the Q&A, not the DEV section.
Try installing HTC Sync, even though it doesnt work with the G2 because its sense based, it will install the proper drivers for you. This worked for me.
Heres the link:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=804
Another method would be install pdanet on you phone fron the Market, then install pdanet for your computer from here and it should install the drivers when you plug your phone in with pdanet app running:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
I tried the Sense link, but I couldnt find the download option for it.... anyways, heres a more precise description of the issue
When I go and install PDA Net, it loads up the drivers, but the computer literately is not even registering that a DEVICE has been plugged in via USB. I dont even get the USB connect prompt on the phone!
That's what Im saying, something is up. I need to take the cable with me and try this on another computer now that I think about it to rule out that something isnt damaged on the phone...
What ROM are you using? Gingerbread ROM's act like the (for now), at least from what I understand. I tried CM7 and sure enough - it acted just like what you're describing.

But thats the whole thing, im not using a ROM, its just the stock OS build. if i was using a ROM, id have tried removing it and reloading it, but this is on a phone that isnt even rooted yet... actually... should I try going temp root again and see if that fixes anything?
Whats the best way to do that now since I keep reading Vision got pulled away because it was damaging phones or something?
Okay, so i tried plugging it into a diff computer.... same result... so whatever it is, its the phone.
Any ideas XDA pplz?
Has it seen the g2 before? if so, get usbdeview, find the drivers in there that would be used for the g2, delete those. Snag PDANet and download that, plug the phone back in and see what ya get. You will get the pop ups again about the new software being loaded since it will have to find and reload drivers for the phone and PDANet will have the drivers you need.

Like the guy above me said, DL or re-DL the drivers (though none should be needed if you're using it as a storage drive, the comp sees it as a usb drive). Is it charging your phone when you plug it in? It's rare, but the USB cable may be bad.
The only other thing I can think of is that something went wrong and the phone isn't releasing the mount to the sdcard, in which case you should try rooting and using a different ROM or a stock rom and it should help.
Well thats the whole thing, the computer doesnt even see the USB part of it. Thats been my whole issue. The computer doesnt see the phone or the usb drive part. It straight does not see the phone at *all*! Doesnt even show up in Dev Manager, but yet it gets power. I even went and got a new micro USB cable, fresh, and still nothing.
im getting to 86 the os and reload Win7, im like super uber pissed over all this because i cant figure it out. I dont even know whats wrong >_<!
Just for kicks (because I had this exact thing happen to another phone of mine - the slide) you're rooted, which means you have clockwork right?
Reboot into recovery and go to the 'mounts' part and select 'mount usb'. Do that with it plugged into your computer and let me know if the phone shows up then. That's the only way I could put it in mass storage mode. I flashed something other than cyanogen's rom and BAM, it worked like it was supposed to (Linux did mount cyanogen though - weird).
If you want to go back to 0 day with your G2, search 'PC10img' and download it. DO NOT FLASH IT YET, you could really screw up your phone since you have s-off. Go to the wiki and scroll to the bottom, it tells you how to get s-on. Once you can verify that you have s-on, proceed to flashing the pc10img.

Okay, so, Im way better now. Apparently I managed to get s-off and root ability via

when i reloaded and got rooting ability, somehow, I now have a detectable sd card again.
I dont know how, I dont know why, I just know that Im going to throw CM6.1.1 onto this thing and be rocking it hard
Thanks again for all your help guys, it was awesome to know XDA really helps out its followers
EDIT:
Okay... so now Im mixed. I have a rooted phone, with CM6.1.1, but still doesnt properly recognize when plugged into the PC.
oh well, I already called TMobile and their sending me a new phone under warranty. Its gotta just be a busted port in some way for detection. I dunno. >_<
But still, thanks a lot guys. Means a lot
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

However I still have access to recovery and I want to know if installing a Rom via SD-card is possible or not. If not, what should I do? Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks!!!
What recovery do you have access to? If it's twrp then yes you can load from sd card.. Have you tried an RUU for your phone? That should work as well.

Hello! Recovery I installed was PhilZ Touch CWM. I'm trying right now! Thanks.
Hi .. I think I made things confused a bit. What I meant by SD-card was external micro SD-card. Thanks!
Not sure what you mean by firmware. This is what you need to do:
Install the latest version of adb. Go to recovery, turn on sideload mode.
in cmd prompt-> adb sideload *location/name of rom.zip* e.g. c:\users\xxx\rom.zip
Restart and bam you are done

Does the computer recognize the phone in bootloader/fastboot/download mode? If you can enter recovery and download mode, then your phone is probably working fine (except for not having a working ROM) and your computer should see your phone on some level.
Are you using WIndows? I think you might need to get your device drivers on your computer working. Check Device Manager if you're in windows. With your phone connected, you should have 2 devices. One should be under a section called Android USB Devices (might be called My HTC) and the other is going to be under Portable Devices section (might be called HC One M9). If you don't have both, then you need to work on your driver issue on your computer.
Edit: Sorry if this is blunt, but since you seem to not really know some very basic terminology, i recommend that you do a LOT of reading on this forum so you can have a better understanding of what's going on with your device and how to solve your problem. I know you might feel like youre in panic-mode because your device won't boot, but you're going to get into more trouble if you just start trying a bunch of "solutions" without having any understanding of what you're doing. I know, because I've been there before.
Edit2: Also, it would help to steer you in the correct direction if you listed your location and carrier info

Actually, the beta version 2.8.6.4 is not recommendet anymore. Captian_Throwback now recommends using the official version 2.8.6.1. (Sidenote: The version number of the official one is lower because the numbering of the beta version is unofficial.)
