I've installed what I think to be are the proper drivers for the EVO 4G onto my Windows 7 64bit PC. While connected, however, despite the mode (HTC Sync, disk drive, etc.) the computer keeps "thinking" that the phone is continuously being plugged in and out. Any ideas how to fix this? Any proper drivers or a link to them that could solve this issue?
I'm basically trying to re-root after an unrevoked root awhile back and, unfortunately, since an OTA Gingerbread update.
About to try a VM of a fresh XP install with the said drivers and try that way...
So far the VM is also intermittently disconnecting the EVO 4G from it's recognition. What the hell? It recognizes it, disconnects it, recognizes it, disconnects it... with no pattern or rhythm whatsoever. What the hell's going on? I used both Win 7 and a FRESH install of XP on a virtual machine. I don't get it.

I had a thread on here about that happening to me on Sense ROMS, including the Stock ROM.

If you read the OP, he's on the stock GB OTA, and trying to root his phone.

If you rooted with unrevoked and didn't s-on then you may still be s-off and only have to flash recovery.
It may not be the computer, it could be the phone's charging port or your USB cable. Mine is loose, I have to hold the phone above the USB cable, our with the cable pointing upwards into the charging port sometimes.
If that doesn't work, try a different computer or cable. If it does the same on a different computer then you know it's not the computer.

fortunately, using the new revolutionary method, the phone was able to "stay connected" long enough for root (yay0r!). anyhow, it wouldn't stay on long enough to flash clockword mod but whatevz. since i was able to get S-OFF, i just flashed the alternate recovery (amron ra, i think?) through adb on my mac. all good to go. thanks for your replies, however.
back to the point, i did try another USB port on the same PC and no luck. even tried a different cable. i still don't know why that was happening but i'm now rooted, which was my goal. running cyanogenmod7 w/goodies like the transparent google search bar and lovin' it - should definitely hold me over until the sexy galaxy nexy comes out soon. thanks all and happy holidays!
@plainjane: by the way, i had to RUU*.exe from unrevoked root to get back to factory settings because i had an issue i had to take the phone in for, so it reverted back to S-ON prior to my reroot last night.
In the future, you don't have to unroot to take your phone to Sprint. Just flash a Stock/Rooted ROM
Better yet, EVERYONE should have a nandroid of their phone, stock, right after rooting
So I recently decided to root my phone but I can't get past the actuall root process. I have the bootloader unlocked and everything but when I try to actually root it my computer can't seem to find the phone. I've attached two photos of what I'm looking at, if anyone needs more information I'll try to respond as fast as I can. I'm really confused by this. Thanks in advance
Forgive me if you did, but it's worth asking, did you wait the whole 160 seconds?

Yes I did lol, I gave it about 5 minutes then I unplugged everything and tried again, I actually got a little farther and it said <Waiting for usb debugging to be enabled>.
But now it's not even being detected when I first open the root kit. At the top it lists no devices
Edit: Uploaded a screenshot of what i have now.. It's showing two devices and another pic showing where I'm stuck with the usb debugging.

So you do have USB debugging enabled right? Lol. You also have the GNex drivers installed, right?

USB Debugging is enabled and I do think I have the correct drivers, they're the ones that come with the root kit, I've also chceked in Device Manager and it looks correct from what I've seen. I've attached a picture of what my Device Manager looks like, I know its not much but maybe it's something. I'm just completely frustrated with this, it's been weeks and I can't figure it out

The first thing to pop up is the Auto play thing, It says Galaxy Nexus so I'm guessing it does. Also in the earlier screen shots it shows my phone is connected to my computer. It will connect in fast boot and ADB.

Well... if the toolkit isn't working out for you I'd recommend you do it manually. If you have any questions, just ask.

Ok if the computer is recognizing your phone then the drivers are correct. Are you sure that Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging is checked? If so, are you following the toolkit instructions for rooting exactly? I'm just trying to make sure that you haven't missed something like I do so very often.

I started to download unrevoked onto my Evo, but the cable became disconnected.. Now, when I try to use the Unrevoked program to "reload" the program, it just sits there and does not seem to recognize that my device is connected... I do have debugging mode on, as per the instructions. Revolutionary also just waits to recognize the device. The device is recognized, as the evo tells me the debugging mode is on when the cable is plugged in.,,,
What can I do to solve this issue??? I just want to root my phone... Thanks!!!:crying:
Any other suggestions for rooting appreciated!

Hi Diva64, how far did you get in the process before the usb came unplugged? Are you able to just reboot your phone and start again? Any other information you can give to pin point what stage it went wrong and what your phone is doing, or not doing will help me walk you through the rooting process.
Thanks jOst..
I got probably about 75% of the download. The phone is acting fine... I was able to just continue on as if nothing happened.... the problem is when trying to "redownload" the revolutionary program onto the evo via the windows popup program. ... the windows computer program pops up, but says it is waiting for the device to be connected.
When I connect the evo, the notification bar tells me debugging mode is on, but nothing else happens on the evo or the windows program. I did try rebooting the phone w/no problem, and I cleared the application cache, thinking that maybe the evo thinks the download occurred... Again, the phone itself works fine in stock mode... Hope this provides some clarification! Thanks for your help!
Any help would be appreciated!! Anybody??? Thanks!!!

hey Diva64,
sorry it took a min to get back to you. Glad to hear your phone is able to go through round two..lol, ok. I have ran a virtual machine numerous times and have found these basic failures, basically to do with wrong drivers or lack there of....question...do you have htc sync installed on the pc you are rooting from? if yes, remove and go to root method.... if no, question two. Do you have the diagnostic drivers installed for your phone yet? if no, google search diag evo drivers and install. (will give more instructions as you define what or what is not missing. ) if yes, question three. did you verify the checksum of your downloaded unrevoked.exe. possibly corrupted files is why i ask. if no, check by going to download page and look for sum. after redownloading, match the sum from your pc to what is listed on the dl page. let me know what you find.
Still not rooting
I was able to make some progress.. to the point that the screen on the computer tells me it is "rooting..." it does this for a few minutes, then I get an error screen telling me "error: Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?"
My Phone is an Evo 4g (NOT lte)

Supersonic EVT 3 Ship S - ON
Hboot 2.16.0001

What should I do next? Thanks!!!
You should be using Revolutionary, not Unrevoked. Unrevoked is for older Hboots. Been awhile since I used it, so not sure how much help I can offer. Biggest thing to me was making sure I had the drivers installed that are in the Revolutionary guide. Everything else was a cinch.

roughly 18 months ago, there was a guide on rooting. it was very extensive and it explained how to manually turn S-Off, root, create a gold card, etc etc etc.
I rooted my phone one time, and it worked flawlessly until I broke it. now I have a replacement phone, with stock 2.3.3 OS, and despite my scouring, I cannot find that lengthy guide.
I downloaded and attempted to root using AAHK, but it wont pass the USB check for some reason, even though I can access my phone through windows via the usb cable.
Anyway I'd rather not do the 1-click method, as I like to personally be in control of all steps.
so my question is, could someone either give me a brief list of the steps to take, the various software I could use for each step, OR, post me a link to the old guide that I cant seem to find...
much appreciated.
You say it fails during the usb check? Have you checked if you got usb debugging on? And seriously there won't be any easier way than AAHK which works flawless as long as you read the effen manual and follow it to the letter.

Im not looking for "easy". im looking for "familiar"! I did it once the long hard tedious manual way, successfully.
but anyway, to answer your question and without meaning to sound like a jackass, OF COURSE usb debugging is on.
any other ideas? i disabled as much software as I could from running in the background..
just comes up with
***ERROR ERROR ERROR***
Phone not plugged in
OR
Driver not installed
OR
USB Debugging not enabled.
***ERROR ERROR ERROR***
but phone IS plugged in, drivers ARE installed (several uninstall reinstalls done) and usb debugging IS enabled... so WTF?!?!?
Windows, especially pre-Vista/7, sometimes has trouble with USB-devices and their drivers. Maybe you have some other computer available where you could try it?
Not to sound like a donkey, but it sounds like your doing something wrong. With android you should be willing to root with different methods for each update or device. It worked for me when I had 2.3.3 so I can personally say it works. Did you use the drivers from the AAHK?
Also just an fyi even with an anti virus disabled it CAN interfere with the AAHK. If you simply disabled it, it might have corrupted AAHK. So uninstall that, and download AAHK, then try again.

that is pretty clear, isn't it? Have you installed the drivers with the phone UNPLUGGED??. If no, then just go to control panel, uninstall them and re install them with the phone unplugged. Then plug it in and let the drivers install.
Hey guys i've been looking through alot of google and can't seem to come up with anything so i turn to you awesome people.
My friend got a Galaxy Nexus GSM and he bought it with a boot loop problem. The phone is rooted and bootloader unlocked. I know because i can go to CWM recovery and also theres the unlock sign on it. However I can't get my computer to recognize it what so ever not even mount the storage. I figure i need to get the drivers to install but i need it to be recognized in device manager to do it through a rootkit. I tried to install the ADB drivers but also got no luck. I then tried to get to ODIN for it to work but ODIN won't recognize it either. Is there any way to install the drivers so i can put on a ROM on this. I think the person he bought it from formatted everything and messed it up. Is there anyway i can install the drivers without getting it to recognize first? I tried it in windows 7 and in windows 8. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

First off thanks so much for the reply and help it is very aprreciated!
Secondly i did come across this sticky however like i stated the phone is in a boot loop which means i cant get past the google logo in order to set it in developer mode and set usb-debugging neither can my computer recognize the phone when i plug it in, using the original cable i've tried every port there is on my desktop and laptop and nothing comes up in device manager. The phone is completely wiped and no OS is on it. Is there any way i can get a ROM on the phone?! This is one idea i have but i don't know if it'll work, I was thinking of buying a another working nexus install the drivers with that one and then i can get the bootloop one to get recognized? and return the new one. Will that work?

You need to get adb to work with your device, which you can do in a custom recovery. You don't need to have USB debugging enabled, you would if you were booting into the OS, but not the recovery.
You can get drivers setup while in recovery or fastboot just as easy as if you were booted into the OS, so no you don't need another device.

again, read the thread i gave you. if you're still asking this question, read it again.
Isn't that for the nexus 4? And I did pay attention to section A but it told me how to install the drivers which is the same way as every other tutorial I've looked at. My device doesn't show up on my computer and I can't install their way. As for the fastboot driver installation idk what their talking about. I followed the instructions though and got no results. I didn't do the whole thing cause for part C I need the original rom for galaxy nexus and also I don't know if the platform tools zip is for my device so I haven't gone through with it just yet. I'm sorry it's not my phone so I don't want to mess it up even further. I've read about the part with it being in recovery mode with the volume up + power option but I'm at work and haven't tried that yet but I doubt that will work since the phone is clean. Can u please be a little more specific there's 99 pages that I have to go through for that sticky. If u can't it's ok I'll just have to go through it next week. Once again thanks for pointing me in the right direction and giving me some hope.

You reboot the device into bootloader/fastboot mode, then you connect the USB, and there's no sign at all that a USB device has been installed?
Remove all drivers, reboot, and start over. Get a tool for Windows that allows you to really dig on all of the installed drivers and remove all Nexus devices drivers permanently. Rant: Umm, Windows sucks bad. Thanks Linus!

I did a little looking up about omapflash and from what i can see so far there needs to be drivers installed first. I may be wrong but i have to do some more research on it and i dont have a linux pc my laptop is down thanks to a power pin connector pin being pulled out. and i dont know if the device port is good or bad i can get a charge but that doesnt mean its fine. What if i get another device and install drivers via that and then try to get it to recognize? would that work?

To really make sure that the issue isn't on the host side but rather the USB port on the device? Yeah, that would rule it out.
Also, I just remembered: you're not using the USB ports of your PC case are you? Make sure you're using the motherboards' own USB ports.

Windows 8 64-bit...drivers install...stuck
even I am stuck on the same roadblock. have my GNex stuck on the google logo. can access recovery mode though (TWRP 2.5.0.0). Now i just upgraded my PC to Windows 8 64-bit and cant seem to be able to install drivers.
the problem is that almost all the methods require:
1. GNex to be connected with USB Debugging ON
2. install ADB Drivers
3. get into Fastboot or Recovery
4. install Bootloader Drivers
since i cant get past the Google logo on my GNex...i cant perform Steps 1 & 2.
and if i directly try to install the bootloader drivers the OS returns an error (yellow exclamation next to the installed driver)
Added pictures to help explain better.
Thnx in advance.

SOLVED (Dont know how but it worked):
1. Factory reset (TWRP)
2. Installed an old ROM which was already on the GNex
3. Restart...it gets stuck at the Google logo...remove battery
4. TWRP - Factory reset
5. reboot...
