Have you downloaded the latest version off the website?
I just managed to get mine working, try starting HTC sync then telling the phone to connect to it

Well first connect Desire as Disc drive and download HTC Sync from SD cards.
Second: install it
third: reboot PC and here it goes

Why wouldn't you be able to flash your device? Updates come over the air most of the time So no problem here.

I believe he's talking about the custom roms which will appear once Root access has been done...

My phone isnt recognized by my computer anymore

Hello,
i've got a problem like the title says. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer via usb, i get the message the device wasnt recognized by the computer. i tried everything i know, another usbport. etc. i want to install a new radio, but without connecting to the computer it isnt possible, because i dont have the usb debugging active.
i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.

Are you using Windoze?
If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.

thanks for the quick answer.
i tried it, but it didnt help. where is this application data folder? do you mean on the computer? i found after uninstalling no more folders from htc.
and yes i use windows home premium 64bit.
got another idea? now it says also the device does not function properly. i hope that nothing on the device is broken.

yes he is talking about your computer... if in the "program files" you hasn´t anythink about HTC SYNC,, ALL IS OK...
but enssure that in the configuration panel-system-dispositive administrator you hasn´t any drive installed for your android device... if you have installed it, erase or uninstall it before re-install htc sync or the htc drivers....then you can re-install and reboot windoux...
and hey buddy!I recommend to you to consider to pass to linux, you will not have this type of mistakes... LOL
UBUNTU is great!

I'm afraid I don't know much about Windoze but memory serving appication data is a hidden folder so you will need to change it to view them and is in the Documents and Settings / [Your username] directory.
Device not function is just a default Windoze error when it can't install something, ignore it, your phone is fine.
If you have reinstalled HTC Sync, try a USB port on the opposite side of the PC. So if you trying ones next to each other on the front, try ones on the back (they use different headers on the motherboard).
If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I probably won't be of much more use, sorry.

The use of linux is good to understand better android OS you don´t believe?
you said it.... EVERYTHING WORKS

thanks guys for your help, but although i followed your advices, except the one to switch to linux ;-), it hasnt got better yet. the problem is still exsisting and i dont know what else i can do.
anyone got an idea how to install radio without having usb debugging and the drivers from the computer?

Hi!
I've got the same problem with 2 different PCs, one with Win7 64-bit, the other with Win XP PRO.
Other devices work fine with the same USB ports, so i doubt it's windows or the PC...

you can´t flash any radio if your phone is not recognized
well.. Let's continue with the problem in question...
1.At some time could you have connected it?with the stock rom maybe?
2.have you tried to swich on mass storage usb mode?what´s the result?
3.when you tries to swich the phone for flash some radio you enables "usb debug"
and "only chargue"?
its a weird problem

Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.

1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

you´re welcome companion
i reded in a spanish forum ( www.htcmania.es ) about your problem and there´s people that had the same problem with a S.GALAXY S & desire HD...
someone was solved it fullwiping and formating (in the paragraph of mounts & storage into CWM) and flashing another ROM... then they formatted their sd card with a card reader OF THE PC... later they was formatted the sd card from the pc and the problem was disapeared successfully...
BUT if it persists i think that you should (mi suggestion) send your machine to the thecnical service....

ok, will try this today evening when i'm home. if this doesnt work i will reset it in the orginial state and send it to the technical support. i will leave a comment if i was successful, perhaps this will help others with the same problem.

[Q] Android File Transfer? Why?

Guys, I'm back again with another dumb question.
While running ICS 4.0.4 on my HTC One X, I was very happy that the phone was connecting to each computer as external USB storage.
Lately the phone received the JB update, which made the OS 4.1.1
Since then, when I connect the phone to Mac it requires Android File Transfer, which is simply POS from my point of view; totally impractical.
And when I connect the phone to Windows, it behaves like a camera but like Android File Transfer window, quite useless and file types are not being recognized properly, icons look different then what they actually are, etc...
What happened to the phone, anyone knows?
Android upgrade changes the previous nice connection type, I guess...
But is there any chance to go back to that type of connection while running JB?
Cheers.

You just answered your own question.
No way to revert back.
I can however recommend airdroid for ota file transfer

Thanks.
I was hoping to read answers about a tool requiring root access or a tweak kind of way to change it...
Anyway, I'll see what Airdriod is as you've recommended.

you can still use your phone as mass storage. you just need to update your htc sync manager and enable usb debugging in your phone.

Thanks. May I ask for more details?
I'd of course try what you suggest before asking you back if I had the chance however, I'm not in a position to do it right now, sorry for bothering...
Am I correct to assume that the solution you're suggesting is affecting only the workstation on which there is HTC Sync Mgr is possibly installed?
I mean, is this going to change the behavior of the phone permanently or is it going to solve the issue between the phone and the particular computer?
I'm using the phone as external storage to transfer files between computers, on which I'm not workstation administrator, therefore I have no chance to install HTC apps on the computers I'm referring to.
Damn, Android is getting easier and better but how about this?
Do you happen to know the reason for Google to change this?

I think you should blame htc not google because on non sense rom storage have not changed.
and it's my problem too. mass storage on sense jb rom would be very better.

[Q] Help!! Firmware gone and PC doesnt recognize my M9!!

I installed recovery to root my HTC One M9 yesterday. It seemed like I made some mistakes and now my firmware is totally gone and my computer doesn't recognize my phone anymore. However I still have access to recovery and I want to know if installing a Rom via SD-card is possible or not. If not, what should I do? Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks!!!

What recovery do you have access to? If it's twrp then yes you can load from sd card.. Have you tried an RUU for your phone? That should work as well.

Hello! Recovery I installed was PhilZ Touch CWM. I'm trying right now! Thanks.

Hi .. I think I made things confused a bit. What I meant by SD-card was external micro SD-card. Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by firmware. This is what you need to do:
Install the latest version of adb. Go to recovery, turn on sideload mode.
in cmd prompt-> adb sideload *location/name of rom.zip* e.g. c:\users\xxx\rom.zip
Restart and bam you are done

Does the computer recognize the phone in bootloader/fastboot/download mode? If you can enter recovery and download mode, then your phone is probably working fine (except for not having a working ROM) and your computer should see your phone on some level.
Are you using WIndows? I think you might need to get your device drivers on your computer working. Check Device Manager if you're in windows. With your phone connected, you should have 2 devices. One should be under a section called Android USB Devices (might be called My HTC) and the other is going to be under Portable Devices section (might be called HC One M9). If you don't have both, then you need to work on your driver issue on your computer.
Edit: Sorry if this is blunt, but since you seem to not really know some very basic terminology, i recommend that you do a LOT of reading on this forum so you can have a better understanding of what's going on with your device and how to solve your problem. I know you might feel like youre in panic-mode because your device won't boot, but you're going to get into more trouble if you just start trying a bunch of "solutions" without having any understanding of what you're doing. I know, because I've been there before.
Edit2: Also, it would help to steer you in the correct direction if you listed your location and carrier info

Actually, the beta version 2.8.6.4 is not recommendet anymore. Captian_Throwback now recommends using the official version 2.8.6.1. (Sidenote: The version number of the official one is lower because the numbering of the beta version is unofficial.)

Help - Pixel XL not recognized by any computer, cannot root or get to twrp

I need some help because I am puzzled on what to do. The other night, I tried to change roms on my Pixel XL. I'm used to being able to just flash everything once in whatever order and be fine (it was much simpler years ago when I got started with modding).
Anyways, I flashed FireHound rom and gapps, but forgot the vendor. I flashed twrp and that put me into a bootloop. It would reboot back into recovery each time. So I reflashed Pixel Dust, the rom I was on before, since I didn't have a backup. I forgot to make one. Lol.
Flashed the vendor, rom, and twrp. Rebooted to a clean rom. However, I'm not rooted. I attempt to go back to twrp - and I can't. It goes straight to Android recovery/ no command screen. I can't get back into twrp.
Since this, I downloaded the newest factory image so I could just reflash and start over and fix it. But I cannot connect to any computer. I've tried multiple cables, multiple computers, and each time I get a "USB device not recognized" error. Device manager shows my device as "Unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed)." I've attempted to reinstall/update the USB drivers, windows won't update it because it says it's already up to date. Windows 10 is what I'm using.
So I am stuck. Can anyone help me? Or did I completely screw everything up?
Thanks in advance,
Sam

Thanks, I tried that. Still nothing different.

Do you get any response on the phone when in bootloader and USB cable is plugged in?
Have you checked to make sure that your adb/fastboot programs are at the latest revision?

I've updated the adb/fastboot versions from the sdk. I've updated the USB drivers. Or attempted to. And I get no response from the phone when in any mode.

Got any friends with a Linux machine? It's been ages since I used Windows to talk to my phone. I'll plug it in when I get home, though, to see if my phone is recognized.

No I don't. But I suppose I could set up a Linux virtual machine and try it that way. It's been a while since I've used Linux. You think it could work?
