Error[170]: Usb connection error

Hello,
I have a HTC desire HD with rooted IceCold Sandwich 4.0.4 android OS. I want to revert the phone to original state and for that I am using a RUU rom "RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.3_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.15_M3_release_155032_signed.exe".
I am following all the instructions given by XDA forum correctly and data cable is also connected properly (as USB storage is working perfectly after connection), but unfortunately everytime I try to revert to Stock RUU, I get an error "ERROR[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR".
For diagnosis purpose, I tried downloading another RUU stock rom and followed the same instruction. Now also same error appears.
There are few issues I am facing in my rooted rom and hence I want to revert to stock rom. But always a failure
I request you to please help me as to how I can manage installing stock rom which can connect with PC.
Waiting for a favorable reply.
Thanks,
Harry

Yes Andy, I have latest version of HTC Sync for my DHD. Version = 3.2.20
Anyone here who can help me to get rid of this issue.. Please Please.. Its been 2 days my DHD is in power off state.. I need the resolution to awake my DHD.. :crying:

Did you unlock using HTC's Bootloader unlock program or did you use any tool found here on XDA?
If you used HTCs system you will need to relock the bootloader before you can flash any RUU's.
If you can get into fastboot try these commands
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then try to run the RUU.

Is there any other way to relock the bootloader? I'm having the same issue with the latest HTC Sync Manager installed.
EDIT: Thanks., Locking it via fastboot and running RUU in that mode got past the 170!

HTC_032

Does somebody know which official RUU can I install to my phone, if I have a CID: HTC___032 ?
I am asking it, because I have screwed up my phone a bit, and a want to return to stock. I do this PD98IMG.zip stuff, but after the blue and the the yellow bar have filled in the top right side of the bootloader, i says an error: Main version is older. I am trying the European WWE 3.12.405.1 rom, but I know that mine says I am on 3.13.0.0 in the RUU installer. What should I do?

I have read that thread (search for Ace advance hack kit AAHK link is removed form xda)
Then choose the option root.
A goldcard (goldcard creation process is completely integrated in this procedure)
Temproot
To downgrade the mainver on the device
A HTC signed firmware package from a suitable OTA update.
If he said fail try it again (me did it the 3 time)
When jou phone complete s- off is choose the options back the stock. You must have a ruu for that.
[ READ CARFULL THE MANUAL !!! You are not the first with a corrupt boot loader.]
Your problem is that you have it unlock with HTC dev. If you use that method you are not able to flash radio and kernels. Whitout the kernel he won't boot. Hope that that your helps

Yes, but I have relocked it. Now I am start trying aahk, and i will update upon my process in this thread for further information.

So I am trying to run the AAHK in fastboot USB mode with procedure 1 : Hack Ace, but it says device is not found. My flash method is fastbootRUU, so it cant be the problem

I have proceeded to point, where aahk says Radio Downgrade Faliure. Either Goldcard failed or USB connections are not working 100. What should i do?

Running the hack kit is easier than setting up adb.
You could try uninstalling the htc drivers and installing them again, reboot the pc. And yeah, you might as well set up adb while you are at it if you really want to learn stuff over here at xda.

I have white screen pain....

[Q] Used AAHK. In Hboot with S-ON. What now?

Ok, here's the gist. Went to root a friends phone. Used AAHK as I had on mine. It needed to downgrade (as it had done previously with mine). After downgrading it wouldn't boot. Just hung on HTC boot screen. Waited 10+ mins...nothing. Tried a few times...nothing. I can get into Hboot using power/volume but have no idea what to do from here as I can't boot into a ROM so the laptop/aahk can see it. I've tried bootloader....nothing happens. Tried Factory reset...nothing happens...just goes back to HTC boot screen. Can any kind person help out a noob in distress here. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.:good:

You don't need to boot into a ROM to do stuff. You're fine as long as you can reach the bootloader. Read the Noob Starter Guide by Glevitan for more info. Find it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30007264&postcount=2
---------- Post added at 11:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:43 PM ----------
If you need to know what you need to read.. You already have a downgraded hboot.. you need to S-OFF it and flash a custom recovery now. You can read on how to do that from the guide I mentioned.

Thanks for the response. I have quickly read through the guide but am slightly confused to say the least. I can't find how to get S-Off from here, other than through aahk. Bootloader does nothing when selected, and recovery just takes me back to the htc boot screen. I'm stuck here. Could you please point me to the right (next) step (S-off). I have read the guide, but it doesn't say how to do it from Hboot.
For example, the guide states this :-
Unlocking the bootloader with HTCDEV tool will allow you to flash CWM recovery and install
custom roms for ACE models and not ported roms, meaning that roms ported from other devices
such as Sensation or Sensation XL will not be successfully be flashed.
..which is all well and good. Ok, I have an unlocked bootloader so I can install CWM, but HOW?

Can you post the text appearing on top of your bootloader here?
Depending on that you might need to either flash a recovery or fix your bootloader.

Of course. Thanks again, as it's driving me crazy trying to find how to S-off and install CWM from here.

Alright. You used AAHK right? Did you read the guide and follow all the steps? I'll suggest to use the "Fixing your messed bootloader" section of the guide I mentioned previously and then run the AAHK again.

Ok this is what it says.....
Hboot fix
md5sum hboot.nb0
adb push hboot.nb0 /data/local/tmp/
adb push gfree /data/local/tmp/
adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp/
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/gfree
adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell /data/local/tmp/gfree -f
adb shell
dd if=/data/local/tmp/hboot.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/data/local/tmp/hboot.test
sync
exit
adb pull /data/local/tmp/hboot.test
md5sum hboot.test
All md5sums should be 2a28dcd53ea26504be9a86572a348aa1
adb reboot
I did the first few steps, (I've removed the links as it won't let me post them here) and got the file into C ok with the files from the hack kit. When I start ADB (via the Start Here command) and I type in the commands above, it says "Device not found". I have tried to follow the link that it states to read for people new to ADB, but it takes me to a massive page of links and I have no idea where to start. Thanks for your help up to now, it really is appreciated, and I fear I'm in above my neck here, and am now a walking advert for why people like me shouldn't go down this route. When I did my phone, it really wasn't a problem and the whole AADK process went fine. I have been flashing custom roms on my phone for months without a single problem, and it's only when my friend/colleague saw me running JellyTime 17.2 that he wanted it too. Now I fear I'm stuck!

Calm down. It's all solvable. And we can get it back working.
For adb to work you need to connect your device and let it go into bootloop (switch it on and let it stay as it is).
Once it goes into that state, try typing "adb devices" it should show a list of devices attached, you should see your phone in there. Once your phone is recognized, the adb commands should work.
Also, do you have HTC Sync installed?

Kicking myself for realising that HTC sync WAS installed. Have uninstalled, wiped drivers, and reinstalled drivers from here. Rebooted laptop. Still the same. Ok, my ADB console I type in adb devices and it says List of devices attached and just shows the same command prompt line underneath (i.e C:\Windows\system32> so I don't think it's seeing the device.
When you say "Let it go into bootloop", all I have have done is turned it on and it goes to the HTC screen, I hope this is right. Windows see's the phone ok. When I plug it in it sees it as "USB mass device installed". Is this the problem?

Did you enable USB Debugging on the stock ROM before you started AAHK? If not then thats the reason probably why ADB is not working right now.
Anyway, what I'll suggest you to do right now is to boot into the bootloader and run an RUU.
Get an appropriate RUU from here : http://www.filefactory.com/f/efa28fefafc4af9c/
Appropriate means your region, WWE is the worldwide edition and mostly safe for all devices. Download the RUU, connect your phone(in the bootloader mode) and run the .exe from the computer. Follow the on-screen instructions then. The phone should return to stock after the complete setup has run and you can try the AAHK again.
The other method is to unlock your bootloader via the HTCDEV method and flash a recovery and then flash a rooted ROM. The HTCDEV method is not good one for various reasons but it might prove easier.
Go to www.htcdev.com for using that method for bootloader unlock.

No worries.
There might be also a way to S-OFF from the bootloader and fastboot and I think Glevitan might help you with that. But since he's not around at the moment and you're kinda worried I'll say the RUU way is the best option as of now.

I downloaded the RUU overnight as it took a few hours. I've just ran it and even though I selected the Orange UK one from that list, it started the process and then said it was the wrong RUU and to please download the correct one. I'm now downloading a WWE one to try. There's a few different ones so here's hoping!

Htc one x stuck on logo

Hello,
I'm having a big problem with my Htc one x, i have tried to root my deviece and it was 100% rooted. After that I decided to install a rom.
I saw the good chermeleon rom that posted here at xda.. After the rom was installed the device stuckes on Htc logo and didn't start properly. I have tried to flash the boot again and to format and install the rom again and again and doesn't help.
I have treied to use ruu but it was not for my device, and I can't find the correct one for my device. Now I'm stuck with the logo and couldnt go to sdcard, not at the device and not at computer. My CID is 044.
Thanks for helpers

Can you still access recovery?
You must have done something wrong when flashing. Explain the exact steps you took to flash the rom.

Which rom did you flash, I'm not aware of any "chermeleon rom" for the One X? The ruu you need for cid HTC__044 is x.xx.707.x. The exact version will depend on the hboot version you have, but the latest version is 2.17.707.3 which you can find here, but you will need to boot to fastboot and lock your bootloader before running the ruu. When the device is connected can you run either the adb devices or fastboot devices command ? Does either of these return the devices serial number?

OT: Charmeleon ROM was a ROM popular back in the day, it's succeeded by ViperX

I can access to recovery but when I try to access sdcard he says that the folder is empty. Can I access my sdcard throw pc? my hboot is 1.12.00 something like that. Do you think the ruu you meantion is the correct one?

[Q] RUU USB Error

I've been trying to update my HOX using the RUU but I keep getting error 170, I've got the latest WORKING USB drivers install(4.0.0.009 doesn't install) but for some reason I'm continuously getting the error, can someone tell me which USB connection type to use and what other settings I should apply and what should be disabled
Thanks
Edit: I've solved my first error but now I'm getting Error 159 which states that I'm using the wrong ROM Image to update my phone, but I'm not because my current firmware version is 2.17.401.2 and the RUU updates to 3.14.401.27, any help would be appereciated
Thanks

hi ,
you need to update your hboot to vers 1.36
read this thread.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543604&page=268
you can read ClydeB1 instructions etc .post 2671 and next post 2672..etc etc
i also tried with only the RUU but failed,also said wrong ROM , after reading up on above thread and following advise given !!!
i download the hboot firmware zip file ( link given in thread by ClydeB1( few pages back ) and flashed it to upgrade hboot and then ran Ruu .straight afterwards ,(all done from pc using" commands
,as given in relevant thread,)
plse note....As i understood it you can't flash upgraded hboot and boot into ics and then try to flash Ruu ,it wont work.!(While in fastboot on phone you run Ruu straight afterwards .)
The firmware zip for hboot update, is placed in adb folder on pc and flashed with easy commands (copy and paste if you want to..!!)
...you just have to put phone debug mode ,and in fastboot (power and vol down )and usb connect to pc.
it took me about 20 min ? i am on 4.1 now !
smooth and no problems ..but you have to read up and understand,then whole process is very, very easy.. and quick!!
(my phone is not rooted or unlocked )
good luck

Would I need an Unlocked bootloader or need to be rooted to use this method or can my phone be completely stock and untouched?
Edit: Also where could I get hboot 1.36
Edit: I figured it out, thanks a lot for the help
