Hello friends!
I'm having following problem... I want to unlock bootloader but the problem starts right there at the begining! I follow these intructions:
To install the RUU, simply follow these instructions:
On your phone, enable USB debugging. (From the Home screen, MENU > Settings > Applications > Development > Check USB debugging)
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.
and the problem is... my computer doesnt find my phone and even after installing HTC Sync nothing happens! If I click on my phone HTC Sync it sais that it cannot be found n my computer... I really dont know what to do and I really want to unlock the bootloader
is there any other way to instal the RUU?

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?
Hi,
I'm trying to root my phone. I'm up to the step where I install unrevoked and run it.
When I do I get the message:
Waiting for device. Plug phone in now and enable USB debugging.
I have my phone plugged in and USB Debugging is enabled, but nothing happens.
The drivers I needed to download would not install until I booted my phone into hboot. (Then it showed the android 1.0 device so I installed the drivers).
I've rebooted my phone now, and I have tried connecting both as HTC Sync and as a Disk Drive (on the phone).
I believe HTC Sync has been completely removed from my computer, so I'm stuck at where to go next. Can someone help please?
Edit: When I connect using 'HTC Sync' as the method on the phone, I get an Unknown Device appear in my list of drivers. I can't install the 'drivers' provided with Unrevoked here. Have I missed a step?
Thanks & Regards

Never mind - found the problem. I uninstalled both HTC Sync and HTC Driver installer. Once I put HTC Driver installer back on, all ran like clockwork. (I needed to also choose HTC Sync on the phone when connecting the USB Cable).
hi,first post on this section . upgraded from the desire bravo,could do with some advice..
purchased a used dhd in good condition,changed housings etc,its running the latest htc 3.12.405.1 sense 3.0 android 2.3.5 .after a good search i realised i would have to downgrade to s-off etc.
my problem is i can't get into fast boot power down volume,pulled battery tried lots of times.
pc will not recognise dhd,installed drivers etc,should be able to sort that one out myself.
but i cant work out why i cant get into fastboot,the phone just restarts
thanks mark
Hi,
Download HTC Sync and install that, that contains all the required USB drivers needed.
As for getting into fastboot, have you disabled HTC "Fastboot"? Its in a setting somewhere. Possibly under Settings>Applications or Settings>Development. Make sure that is unticked.
If you take your battery out & reinsert, hold vol down then press power. That should do it for you. If not, enable USB Debugging and use adb to get into the bootloader with,
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
You will need the SDK or a thinned down adb package. Which you can grab from HERE.
You will need the USB drivers for that to work.
EDIT: Just re-read your post. If you have HTC Sync installed and you still cannot get it detected then there maybe an issue with either the handset or your computer. Check "Device Manager" when its plugged in to see if there is a conflict.
htc sinc was allready on pc from desire bravo,well just the drivers.have tried the htc fastboot uncheck earlier no good,re installed htc sinc as i thought it may be different for dhd,but its not.
pc will not pick up device,says drivers not installed.i know they are as the bravo worked fine.
i had read somewhere that unrooted dhd can be usb bricked,there is a fix by some french chap on here,but i cant do that because cant get into fastboot.
need to get into fastboot first i think,to see whats what,device could allready be s-off dont know.
strange
edit: volume button was not working correctly lol, s-on,now to sort out the drivers,downgrade and flash a nice rom
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.
Hi Guys,
I am trying to root my HOX, i was able to unlock the bootloader and everything went smoothly up until the point where i am trying to flash the recovery on my phone. The problem is that now the HOX device isnt detected on my pc and i cant access the sdcard. Everytime i plug USB in to pc it says "Unable to connect to PC".
1. What should i do now to complete the recovery flash?
2. What can i do to fix the USB connection issue?
Many Thanks!
Try this: Go to Settings, Developer options, USB debugging (Tick block to enable). Also it might be driver related try to reinstall HTC Sync
