Hi there, as stated in the title I had a CM7.0.3, then ran ROM Manager (I've got Pro version) and tried the option "Search updates for installed ROM". It found and downloaded and update, that was CM7.1.0 buuuuut TOO BAD it downloaded and installed the CDMA version!
When I rebooted the phone, I could enter the system but it couldn't see neighter my SIM card nor my SD card. I can enter in bootloader or recovery mode, and tried to install another ROM without using an SD card (http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-to-an-android-phone-device-without-sd-card/) but the problem is that when I connect the phone to my PC, Windows XP says it needs Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver that, googling, I found ONLY for Windows CE based phones (it seems included in Active Sync ...).
I searched here in the forum, too, but fond solution only for Windows CE based phones ...
Could you please help me? Thank you so much.
have you tried to restore your nandroid backup?
It was the first thing I tried but ... as I wrote I realized that the phone couldn't see my SD card ... If only I could access the SD card I could install a new ROM since I've Amon-RA correctly working.
I dont know if this will help ... but you can try do 'fastboot oem enableqxdm 0' in fastboot mode.

Well, this could help, but if I connect the phone to Windows XP, it says that "Qualcomm CDMA MSM driver" is missing and I can't do any adb o fastboot instruction ... I can't communicate to the phone through my PC ... at least if I can't find those drivers.
it says 'qualcomm' even in fastboot (back+power) mode ?
No it says "Android 1.0" whatever it means...
Yes that's what it's supposed to do. Then while in fastboot run the command mentioned earlier.
But first boot into recovery and see if you have access from the sd-card(you should have) from there. if so, just use the recovery to transfer a new rom to your phone and then flash it.
So, good news. First of all thank you for your suggestions.
I connected the phone to a Windows PC and even in fastboot mode it can't see the HTC. Buuuuut I connected the phone to my Mac using ADB for Mac and I could access it in fastboot mode! So, I ran the command you wrote, then entered recovery mode and I could see my SD card, so I could install CM7.0.3 and now I can access SD card e use SIM card. So good!!
There's still only one issue: Bluetooth doesn't work! I try to activate it, it says "activating" but after few seconds it fails. I tried to reinstall the latest radio e then again CM7.0.3 wiping, first, alla data. But it still doesn't work. There's a reason for that? But above all, there's a solution?
I'm reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639 right now, hope that works.
Well.. You should try another ROM.. just try any small ROM i.e. devnull.. and check your blutooth.. as it seems your mobile is connecting to pc.. so USB and SD both working.. no need to USB fix.
So, I used the instructions in the link posted before and do an USB fix and now BT is working. I can't test, right now, GPS and USB. To be true, I didn't test USB connection so I am not sure that a USB fix was not needed.
What is strange, is that, fixed BT (and other) issues, I tried to reinstall a new fresh ROM (the CM7.0.3 I had before) and ... the "no SD and no SIM" issue was there again! I had to do the entire process again and then again BT didn't work. I fixed this one too, and now my phone "seems" ok ... I let you know in the next few days hoping now is really all fully working.
Thank you all.
UPDATE: tested GPS and radio, fully working now

This is a strange problem, I cant tell when it started but it did all of a sudden. When I try to connect my phone to my computer it all of a sudden does not recognize the device (it shows under USB in device manager as unknown device). This happens on my laptop and stationary one (XP and Windows Home Server). On my work computer and my girlfriends laptop (Windows vista) nothing happens at all. The only thing happens is my phone shows notification about HTC Sync (doesnt show the "mount SD card" option). I cant install modaco 2.x since it says it isnt signed when I try to run update.zip from "home+power" mode.
Anyone knows a solution? I really want to flash either modaco or the official HTC rom.

have you instaled HTC Sync + the Android SDK? Drivers are included, also ensure you have gone to settings > Application Settings > Development.. and selected USB Debugging in the handset
if you have done the above you should be able to...
Sync your device
Do a nandroid backup
Root your device
and flash, flash, flash
hope this helps
Thing is, all those stuff is checked. The strangest thing is that the phone doesnt even ask me if I want to mount the SD card (to make the phone like a card reader). I successfully flashed the generic rom again (so my phone is not rooted etc etc) but it still cant connect to any computer through USB (except from when in bootloader (back+power). Its really starting to bugging me since I cant transfer music to the phone anymore I tried a hard-reset, flashed a generic rom (the new one) and formatted the SD card (the phone can read and write to/from it without problems).
I've got the same problem for quite some time now and still no answers...! :-(
It seems very few people on these boards know of our exact problem and i've never seen a solution. Also not from the many people on these boards I consider guru's. :-(
I'm at a total loss here...
I will call HTC Sweden today and see if they can help me solve this issue. I will get back to this thread as soon as Ive been speaking to them. This is starting to really bugging me.
First of all, I would try reformatting your SD card on the phone itself via Menu-> SD card & Phone Storage. If you need anything on the card, you'll have to stick the SD card in adaptor and attach it to your PC directly.
Secondly, by the sounds of it you haven't flashed Cyanogens recovery image, or your HBOOT is wrong, if you are getting a problem with the signature on Modacos image. Either flash Cyanogen recovery, or follow the instructions found on another thread for restoring your HBOOT to an earlier version.
Regards,
Dave

This is the complete infor from my HBOOT screen (power+back).

Should I update something? And how would that help me get USB connection to work outside fastboot? Since its only working in fastboot and not in the android system itself?
Answer from HTC:
If you are getting the 'USB Device not recognized' error in XP, then your device has a faulty USB port. You need to call our repair line to gte it booked in for repair. That really is all there is, once the hardware dies and starts giving that error, there generally is no hope apart from replacing the USB socket or the whole motherboard. best regards, HTC Europe Support
Would have been nice if they could include in this message where I should turn etc?
I had the same error when I flashed my unit with wrong radio image (newer version) without flashing system and boot images. Then I reflashed those as well and everything worked ok.

Is there any update.zip containing all those updates? and would it void my warranty? ex, would HTC be able to see any difference to the hboot etc?
Any guide you could point me to on how to update all those things?
See the following threads with people who have the same problems:

I see more and more people with this problem!
Guys.
Please let me know if this is in the wrong location.
I have created a gold card and also applied a generic rom to my HTC desire removing all T-Mobile branding etc etc. That process has worked and all is good.
The issue i have is that in Recovery mode the PC cant see my device. I have copied the update.zip to my SD card booted into Recovery mode and then tried to run the recovery-windows.bat but all i get is device not found. In FastBoot i can see my device but in recovery nothing.
Can anyone help me fix this as i would really like to get get my applications on my SD card
Thanks in advance
Craig
Have a read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=672970.
That may not be your particular issue, but it's worth reading to rule it out!
Are you running windows 7 64bit?
I had this problem & simply had to uninstall the driver from device manager & re-install it.
Other thing is I had to ensure cmd was running as admin.
Hope this helps
Evening everyone
Got a BIG problem with my phone today and having searched and read i still cant fix it
Ok a little about my phone: Rooted with amon recovery, recently s/off, CyanogenMod 7 rom and kernel, -32 radio..
Right here is the problem...
Did a nandroid backup in recovery of the rom i was using ^^ and all seemed fine, i then rebooted my phone,, booted up, waited for everything to work and then i noticed my apps weren't there?
Went into storage and it showed no memory card,, so i rebooted phone hoping this might fix but it didn't.
Plugged my phone into laptop and a message flashed up "usb device not recongnised" i though Sh!t whats happened ?
So i booted my phone into recovery to mount the sd and a message again "error cant mount sd"
Clicked reboot phone and now its stuck on the "why so serious" screen ???????
Ive dloaded the sdk tool but really not sure what i should be typing in there ??
Anyone with a little time care to help me out please lol ???

Looks like you have been usb bricked, look this forum for usb brick fix, its not the fault of the rom, it just sometimes happens. Got it once too, easely to fix.
Sent from my HTC Desire
Im not blaming the rom not one bit as its been running fine this morning up untill i did the backup.
I have read and read that much my heads spinning %-( there's hek of a lot to take in and being a rather noooooob im lost as to what i should do
Worstenbrood is right, that's.just a USB brick, don't worry, it's an easy fix. Search Modaco for USB rickrolled.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
You can skip step one.
Not to worry ? im bricking it lmao
I really aint got a clue about the fastboot thingy if you have a little time could you give me a step by step of how its done
cheers
Download the SDK and then use the command prompt to run the fastboot command from the Modaco tutorial.
There are quite a few guides for fastboot, just Google it
Hi
I just ran the command and when entered it said fastboot not found?
You need to run it from the directory containing fastboot.executive (in the SDK).
thanks for the replies
i have tried that but im getting 'adbwinapi.dll is missing from your computer'
i have re-installed sdk and still wont work?
Did you do this
Windows XP / Vista
Right click on the My Computer icon and select the properties tab.
Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
In the new dialog box dowble-click on Path (located under System Variables) and type in the full path location to the tools directory.
Has to be done for it to work
If you have never used sdk before Google for a good install & how to use guide
whooohoooo right solved the sd problem, new rom flashed and powered up Many Thanks guys "but" i still cant use the usb on laptop ?
When i plug usb in it the phone only charges ? and an usb not recognised message ?
did u install the htc drivers from the htc website? i was having problems with connecting my phone dowloaded those and un-installed sync and all was fixed!
i get 'usb not recognised message' every now and then on my home pc and the works pc both running Windows 7 64bit.
I found that usually when it pops up about
'usb not recognised message'
i just unplug the cable then back in a few seconds after the message then it usually connects ok. sometimes it takes a few attempts.
thats with 'HTC Wildfire_setup_3.0.5481' installed for the 64bit drivers.
Thanks very much guys for all your help managed to get the usb fixed by installing htc sync
But now i have another problem i noticed today is Bluetooth wont turn on ? is there a fix out there for this ?
cheers
Im experiencing strange reboots now with phone plugged into laptop via usb, and on the status bar on phone it show usb debugging and then dissapears and comes back and when i unplug usb the phone reboots?
I wiped the laptop yesterday and phone seemed fine and now the troubles have come back
In logcat error im also getting this message when i enable bluetooth
attempting to remove unknown iface (usb0), ignoring
bt_enable: Timeout waiting for HCI device to come up
Seems as if the brick has actually fooked my phone up good and proper !
Hi chaps, I've done a lot of searching but unlike many who managed to fix theirs I fear that my Desire is dead. Did a nandroid backup and during reboot for one reason or another (likely the cheap Ebay battery) the phone rebooted a couple of times and I suspect it's corrupted the ext4 that was holding data. Phone was running Starburst 1.5 Classic with data2sd. It's also s-off.
Ok, I've read threads where people have plugged it in and using adb have managed to issue a command to have the phone re-enable the sd card. The issue I have is that adb doesn't even recognise that the phone is actually connected. I've tried this on both my PC and laptop with no joy.
I can still get into recovery and also fastboot and there must be some life as the phone recognises the USB connection when plugged into the PC but 'adb devices' gives me nothing so I therefore can't issue commands.
I have also tried putting the original firmware back on via PB99IMG.zip but since the phone's not reading the card at all that too is a dead end. It still boots to recovery and I get the 'Why so serious' logo if I try starting the phone up but I just can't get any further with it.
Anyone any ideas?
You can wipe and flash partitions and files from fastboot
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=Fastboot
Once you get it working, restore your nandroid to see if it's working and not corrupted by the reboot. If it's not working, you can rebuild in fastboot!
Ok, I'm doing some more reading and learning, driving me nuts this thing. Cheers.
Edit: That won't work as I cannot gain access to the phone from the PC. adb devices show nothing connected even when it clearly is.
Edit 2: C:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Perhaps I'm missing something???
Sorted I think, was me being a n00b. Will post back if I manage to get it all running again.
Did you get fastboot to work and recognise your device?
Take a look at the thread I posted earlier, the command to check it is
Code:
fastboot devices
Hello wonderful helpful android wizards out there! I humbly seek your help.
I recently purchased an unlocked HTC M8 AT&T and had it unlocked so I could use my prepaid carrier (Simple Mobile). I have two issues I would like help with:
1) I cannot get a gps lock at all. I have made sure the device is in high accuracy mode and I have tried downloading and refreshing aGPS data via the GPS status app.
2) I am trying to upgrade to lollipop using the provided RUU file on the HTC website:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
I am currently running 4.4.2. I was hoping that upgrading to the latest firmware might solve my GPS problem as a bonus, though I obviously want lollipop anyway to just generally be up to date. HTC sync manager works fine, but when I run the RUU file, it says the phone is not connected. I have tried the PB99IMH solution posted here that seemed to work for many people:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1928439
The roadblock I have hit is that I cannot copy the zip file onto my Android. I keep getting the error "The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected." I can copy other file to the phone just fine. I tried fiddling with the permissions of the file, but I honestly don't really know what I'm doing with those.
So those are my problems. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
While in fastboot/hboot mode. Is your device recognized?
Where you have adb installed just open up a command prompt and do "fastboot devices" ... If your device's serial number shows up then it's being recognized. If not then your drivers are not installed or not recognized.

Thank you for your response.
I never explicitly installed adb. I have sync manager on my computer, and I can see adb.exe in my processes. I tried to open up the command prompt and typed "fastboot devices" while my phone is in fastboot usb mode and nothing showed up. When I tried to run the RUU file while the phone was in fastboot, i never got beyond the "verifying information on your android phone. please wait..." part.
EDIT: I would also like to point out that sync manager doesn't recognize my phone in hboot or fastboot, thought it does recognize it normally.

It not being recognized while in the bootloader via the HTC Sync app is normal.
You could flash an RUU from the phone itself. Simply copy the rom.zip to your sdcard and go into the bootloader it'll see it and flash aslong as its named properly.. ie 0PB6IMG.zip or something in those lines.
To get the rom.zip while the RUU is open go into your task manager and right click the ruu process and go to file location. The only zip in there thats ~2Gbs is the rom.

Ok, i finally got the update to work, but I am still having GPS issues. Any ideas?
I am also having GPS issues. Everything else on the device works fine, it just never finds any satellites. Any help or updates would be nice.
I'm having GPS problems as well. I'm on CM12.1. It used to work fine, but I've been playing with it trying to get LTE to work, and somewhere in there, my GPS stopped locking.
