if you put your desire in hboot and plug in your usb, it should say hboot usb plug

Same situation here. No Hboot USB option to select even if you plug in the usb cable. My Desire is on Hboot 0.93.

It is saying hboot usb plug but there is no hboot option below .

I think I have rooted without doing step 3, it seems to have worked. How can I check?

Thanks. Followed the instructions and i think I got my phone rooted since there is a superuser permission icon in my apps list. Once rooted, in your hboot menu should show S-OFF or S-ON? Mine is still showing S-ON. Is this right?

mine says s-on at the top next to Bravo PT1 Ship

It'll say S-ON at the moment as S-OFF isn't available yet.
If you read the instructions you'll see that only EVO users have to find HBOOT USB

Can I now use Rom Manager to back up my existing rom and flash custom rom like cynogenmod? Thanks for your reply.

Turn the phone off, turn it on holding volume down and once on select recovery. Then once in clockwork mod select backup and make a backup...job done

Thanks. I managed to make a backup copy of my rom using your instructions. I'm a newbie to this and wonder if it's possible to use Rom Manager to flash custom roms since security on my phone is still on.

You can flash ROMs using the same recovery you just used. Copy the ROM you want onto your SD card and then select 'install zip from SD card' and then 'choose zip' and select what the ROM file...nice and easy
I find ROM Manager to be a bit of a waste of time - I prefer to know what I'm doing and learn...

My phone keeps showing HROOT. It doesn't change to HROOT USB PLUG when I plug in a USB cable. I'm on HBOOT 0.93.0001 on my phone. I am using windows xp professional on my PC.
The Device manager doesn't show other devices. Any idea how I will be able to install the HBOOT driver required for unrevoked ?

I did uninstall HTC Sync, but HTC Driver is still on my PC. Should I uninstall HTC Driver also ? I've read somewhere I had to leave it.
EDIT: Maybe it's because i'm not using the original usb cable. I'm using a universal kit from skpad.
That works for charging the battery. But when I try to connect my phone as a diskdrive it doesn't show up in explorer either. I'll try again friday evening when I have my original cable.
EDIT2: I was able to install the driver on my PC using another USB cable. Now the mouse pointer on my PC freezes when i plug in the USB cable with my phone in HBOOT USB mode. I'm using a logitech wireles mous that is connected with my pc through an USB hub. The phone is connected to an USB port on the front of my PC case. Any ideas what might be causing the problem ? I'm using windows XP Professional

Problem connecting HTC Desire HD via USB cable

Hi All,
since some days i'm not able to get connection to my PC via USB cable. DHD does'nt even ask for sort of connection - all relative settings on the phone like USB debugg & ask for mod of USB conn are of course checked!
PC doesn't react on my DHD. Anyone did entcounter the same?
I'm workin on ARHD 2.15. Attempts with other ROMS was also not succesfull
Any advice will be highly appreciated!

Have you tried with another computer? If it doesn't work, you've got a usb brick. I remember I had that on my friends desire, but got it fixed using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
I don't know if this will work on the desire Hd though...

Thank-you Mate for your response.
Yes I checked it on other pcs and I was at least asked for sort of connection I intended to do. But sdcard wasn't mounted though. Also in fastboot mode loading bootloader usb is not active.
I will try to follow your tip.

[Q] HTC Desire HD Charging with USB but no USB Connection

As my topic says, when plugging in the USB to the computer the phone starts charging, but no USB connection to the actual computer. I tried with debugging on and off, tried with several ROMs but nothing changes it.
I tried to connect another phone thorugh the cable and that works fine so i know its not the cable thats the problem.
The version im running now:
Baseband version: 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version:2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3.DesireHD
Anyone got any idea and wanna help me?

goto setting>Connect to PC> and make sure "Ask Me" is ticked.
Im guessing that it doesnt ask you what you want to do and the phone by default charges i.e "Charge Only"

Do you not even get the icons in the notification bar?
If you're using Windows, have you got the drivers installed (sorry, I don't use windoze so I am unsure if you need them for this but seems to be a common issue)?

Well i have tried both doing "adb shell" with debugging on and then it says "Device not found", and tried to mount is as an USB disk to the computer and nothing happens.

I get the USB icon in the notification bar, but thats all. Yes, i have tried both with windows drivers and without (Cause it wanna install the drivers when they arent there), but nothing happens either way.
I even tried the phone to another computer and its the same there.. no reaction, so i think it´s something in the phone or kernel?

You could try reflashing the ROM without a full wipe (wipe Cache though). I doubt it's an inherent bug with ROM / Kernel otherwise there would be a flood of similar posts (checked nightlies as well).

I have already tried that with 3 different roms and its the same with all 3 roms

So that rules out problems with ROM or Kernel.
Next, need to rule out PC. Have you got another PC or laptop you can try?
Have you tried different USB ports (if using front ones, use back or any others that are on a different MB header).
Forgot to ask, when you say you tried mounting as USB Disk, do you mean you do get the option if you press the Charge Only icon in the notification bar of the phone?
And also, to rule out the SD card, do you have a card reader you can try it with?

Yes.. thats how i tried to mount it as an usb disk... i have tried mounting it in Clockwork Recovery Mod aswell... nothing there either :/

Not looking good!!
Last hope then is that it's a problem with the sdcard itself. Do you have a card reader on any of your pc's / laptop you can try?

Nope, no card reader. But i can send stuff to the phones sd card through wifi using myphoneexplorer
How can i install stock rom and kernel through clockwork? Or any way without having usb connection?

Unless the ROM you want is listed in ROM Manager and the Kernel in Kernel Manager (neither of which are fantastically up to date) then you will need to either find another way to get them on your SDCard or visit the the XDA site in a browser or XDA App, find the files you want and download them directly to your phone via the ether. You should then move them to the root of the sdcard and use Terminal Emulator to check the MD5SUM of the file before flashing.

well.. getting the files to the sd card is no big problem using myphoneexplorer over the wifi at home. but where can i find the stock rom with any mods that i can put on the sd and flash with clockwork mod?

Which stock ROM are you looking for? If it's the stock HTC OTA Gingerbread one them here - http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/
(Thanks go to @andyharney for that).
You mention stock with mods? Could you expand on that one and I'll get yo a link to the most appropriate ROM that suits?
Off topic: MyPhoneExplorer is great. Been using it since my early Sony Ericsson days - the original phone it was designed for, I believe.

Thanks alot mate!!
Only problem is that its and exe and i guess i have to use the usb to install those? :S
I meant Stock without mods ofcourse
I will check into that and install stock... i´ll update this thread with what i´ll try and how it works...

There's a PD98IMG version of an UNROOTED (you will lose root again) the Gingerbread ROM, give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can find it.
[EDIT] Sorry, a PD98IMG will allow you to copy to sdcard root, reboot into Bootloader and it will flash automatically.
[EDIT 2] - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13329691&postcount=96
They're Megaupload links though but you should be able to access them in browser. Take first link, rename it to PD98IMG.zip
Small Print: You do this at your own risk.

Thanks again.. will read up and see if i´ll do it

Hey guys
My first post
So i'm having the same problem. tried everything.
Any possible rom and nothing helps.
even the PD98IMG didn't help...
gave it back to the store, lets see what they have to say about it.
gotta wait a week or two

have u try to flash the RUU?

How?
I need a cable connection for that

USB brick?

I'm hoping someone can help me here, and before people say it, yes I have done a search and tried different options but nothing seems to work.
I'm on 0.93 hboot with s-off and fully rooted for years.
The problem?
I was running Nikez Rom on my Desire and it had a few rebooting issues but nothing to be alarmed of. However after one of these reboots the phone did not charge, computer displays a 'power surge on USB' message and disables usb port. Fastboot is not recognised and fastboot USB does not appear when I connect. Using adb does not identify the device either.
What I have tried to do to resolve
Having read several forum posts around USB bricks and fixing fastboot to changing mtd0.IMG files, nothing has seemed to work. Alternatively, it could be me not following things or not doing things in a logical manner. I have also done a factory reset and flashed sandvold Rom but that hasn't helped either.
Help
I am now almost at the end of my tether (no pun intended), so would really appreciate some help in trying to fix this problem.
What I have not done
I have not yet flashed the stock ruu, but not sure how that would work either if my computer disables the USB port anyway.
Skill level
I'm not an expert so please be gentle.
Thanks

You are SOFF so the easy way to fix usb brick is to flash 4ext recovery since it has got an inbuilt usb brick repairer. However you are saying fastboot is not working. Even with usb brick fastboot should work. That leads me to believe that the problem may be elsewhere. I would check the computer once.

Thanks, tried 4ext fix usb brick option also, but did not work. I have a Sensation as well and that works fine re computer, so I don't believe it's a computer issue.
Also, the mains charger (plug) light goes off as soon as I put the Desire on charge but comes back on when I remove the phone from the mains charger - which leads me to believe there is something wrong with the phone usb software, but don't know what that could be.
Are there and other options for me to try? Is my phone usb bricked?

You can try the Unbrick option in 4ext recovery.
Also try on a different USB port or even a different PC.

I dont think the problem is software related. I say this bacause the usb port is not working in either fastboot, recovery or rom. Each of these has got its own usb software and they cant all be bad. It seems to be hardware related. I got a feeling your usb port is fried. Most probably it has a short because your mains charger light is fanning out.

But could this happen while it wasn't connect via mains or computer?
How do I confirm this? Is there a solution if this is, in fact, the problem?

Pulled the battery out of the phone, out it on mains charge, but still main charger light goes off.
Tried another battery & it does the same thing. Tried different mains charger and it does the same thing.
How do I prove it's a hardware or a software issue?
Should I try a stock RUU?
Having read other forums regarding USB bricks, people have been able to access fastboot usb, but I can't.
So, I don't really know what the problem is.

I got fixed by this method.
androidforums [dot] com/desire-support-troubleshooting/485991-pls-help-stuck-cant-mount-sd-card-recovery [dot] html
check above link, replace [dot] 's with " . " (period)
boot to fastboot (back+power) and use the following command in command prompt
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
This will enable the SDcard function in recovery
fastboot oem eraseconfig
This should fix the usb brick
reflash the rom you want from your recovery (you will need to wipe device via recovery 1st)

Thanks for your message, but the issue is every time I connect the phone to my laptop (and I've tried this on two different laptops), I get a message as below:
"One of the USB devices attached to the computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it."
It seems the charge on the USB port of the phone has gone corrupt - if that's at all possible.
Once I get fastboot USB working, I'll be good to go.
I'm on BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Surely I can't be the only person to have this issue??

Also, I can access my sd card via ES Explorer.
On most of the usb brick issues, I believe the sd card is inaccessible. However, I can access it.
Therefore, I don;t even know whether my phone has a usb brick or whether it's something else?

Anyone?
