I recently added a USB printer and a USB sound device to my PC.
Since then my XDA hasn't been able to sync.
PC Device manager says the USB device (my XDA) doesn't have drivers installed and Windows can't locate any. The CD that came with it is just extras. (I recall when first connecting up how inpressed I was that Windows XP 'just knew' exactly what I'd plugged in a installed drivers from nowhere. ActiveSync just worked!)
Anyway.
What do I do now?
Can I get an HTC USB device driver so my PC can recognise my XDA again?
You could try to reinstall ActiveSync. That has helped when my PC someday did not want to recognize my MDA
HTH,
Even though ActiveSync claimed to be working OK, I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and now everything is back to normal.
Thanks
No problem... Its Microsoft, so the reinstall-way should work
hi
guys i am newbie in upgrading and tried to run athena wraper and it died and after searching forums i still cant find cure ok so here it is i can do hard reset but it dosent help no boot up it still gives me ring round joystick good news is i can get it to bootloader screen (or at least thats what i think ) its red green blue and white screen with usb or serial (depending on cable )
screen reads
ATHE100
IPL-V0.90
ATHE100
SLP-V1.20.Olipro
now can any one help me ??
how can i upgrade rom with out device being detected by active sync every time i run upgrade utility it just comes up with connection error
still no luck
hi
still no luck
do i need special drivres to detect device if its in bootloader ?
it dosent show any thing in device manager when i connect it while its in boot loader
on running upgrade utility it comes back with error 260 connection error saying cannot find device (i am stuck in bootloader)
any advices ??
please help !!!!
The fact that you can still enter the bootloader means that it is not bricked, so first advice would be, as is so well presented in the Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Don't Panic".
Enter bootloader without any SD Card or SIM left in the Athena.
Then, plug it to the USB port, and see if it goes from "serial" to "usb".
Then try to flash first the Black Dual PK ROM available on the forum (in the WM6 section), or an official ROM available from the Wiki, for instance.
hi
tried to flash it with both and came out with same error
260 connection cant find device
and i cant even see any changes in devicemanager but it dose goes serial to usb when i connect
and my pc is not detecting the device (just like that depressed robot from hich hikers guide to galaxy )
Do you have Windows XP or Vista ?

xp (pc i am trying to upgrade i also have vista on other pc which i havent tried yet should i try that ?)
nop no luck in vista ether same error still no connection
both pc have netframework 2
activesync in xp and mobiledevice center in vista
but after connecting device nothing happens in device manager there is no new device
(could it be beacouse of faulty cable? )\\(noi have tryed 2 different cable )
is it worth getting cradle ??
No no. I think the problem comes from the flash utility that requires that the Athena be detected prior to flashing.
I know that with the Universal, some flashing utilities could force flashing when connecting the device already in bootloader mode...
So there must be an easy way to bypass the device detection and go on with the flash process. I'll try and find out, and maybe one of the gurus will cruise by and find it for ya in the meantime.
In the meantime, don't freak out and be patient. Your Athena's not bricked, probably the ROM that's screwed up. We only need to find a way to do that exclusively from the bootloader (chich I know is possible, that's the whole point of the bootloader ).

Hi
Try a hard reset ( Volume down+reset) and then get into the boot loader(Camera+reset~10seconds) then flash the PK dual rom. Don't panic, Your athena is hard spl patched therefore not bricked. If that not works down load the exact official rom for your device flash that then flash the PK dual rom. try Redownload the rom again.
Good luck

hi
thankes i think u understood the problem it is utility which fails before even starting beacouse of no connection see if u can find any thing
and yes i tryed hard reset and then tryed to flash with project black rom and i have downloaded latest t mobile rom from oficeal website but as i said before it fails with connection error it starts up and box says ''verifying information on your pda fone please wait'' and minut later it comes up with error 260 connection error '' please check following
1 your pdafone is connected to usb cable /cradle
2 usb cable connected to pc
(wich is basicly same if you try to nrun upgrade with out connectind pda )
(and yes i have tryed it with 2 different cables and it dose change from serial to usb)
some ting intrestin i foun in orignal update utility faq
ERROR [260] : CONNECTION
This error occurs when there is an “open port error” before upgrading the CE ROM image.
Solution: You can reset the device and run RUU again. If you still encounter an “OPEN PORT ERROR” again, reset your computer and try again.
is possible because device is in bootloader ?
or am i doing some ting wrong?
Reboot your PC, make sure you are not using a USB hub, try it with each USB port on the PC.

good idea but dident work after 4 on board ports and 2 hub ports no joy at all
by looks of it upgrade utility is trying to read info from my device and could be failing for 2 reasons
1 it is not detecting device
2 info in pda is corrupted and could not get any info from device
well thats my theory but not really sure any suggestions??
Is your PC running XP or Vista? I got the impression reading the post that XP machine works better in unlocking. I think the info was posted by Olipro himself if my memory is right.

it is running xp the one i am working on now (i do have 2nd pc running vista 64 bit )
but i am doing unlocking in xp
all i want to find out is dose device needs any drivers or dose it gets detected if device is in bootloader ?
if thats the the case i dont see any new devices in xp devicemanager
No no, it doesn't. Couldn't find it for Athena, but don't have much time lately, alas.
Maybe you should PM one of the gurus asking how to flash a ROM straight from bootloader without having the device detected by WinXP. I believe there's a small, easy manipulation to make, but can't remember it for the life of me. :-S

i found this in wiki and first three posts are empty but followed the procedure and downloaded all three roms and still no joy error
''Problems using the Athena Unlocker - the Black Screen of Death
Using The Athena Unlocker tool (developed by Olipro) is a 3-stage process. Most users get through the first stage but as they start stage 2, get a black screen where their device becomes unresponsive and so cannot proceed with the unlocking. See these posts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=169 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=176 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=226
It is always recommended that you first take out your MiniSD card. You can then follow the instructions below.
* Get one of the ROMs in this link and extract it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314672
* Get your device into bootloader (the three-colour screen; You can get there by pressing the Camera key + Volume key + Soft Reset at the same time)
* Connect your device to your PC (even if the PC shows no sign of recognising it, it does) and the SERIAL shown on the screen of your device will change to USB)
* Hit the ROM Upgrade Utility and upgrade your device.
* Once the upgrade is completed, configure your device (Calibrate screen, set time zone, etc).
* Now continue with the Unlocker, to the end.
It is important to complete the unlocker to the end or else you will miss out on flashing your radio, with a common symptom of your gps not working.
Good Luck and enjoy your improved device!

now i am still stuck will it make any difference if i try it in different xp pc other then the one i started the process ?(and screwed it up)
Please ensure all software firewall or IP filtering apps are turned off then reboot the PC. After rebooting, confirm the apps are not running and blocking anything. If you are unsure, then try it from a freshly installed XP.
Put the device in Bootloader mode and try it again.

good idea
i have already tryed with firewalls and virus protection off but doing it in fresh xp might just work small question do i need to install active sync or is it not needed (any way ill try both first without and then with )
ill report back in about 3 hours (i know i am sad and havent got a life but its worth a try )
Yes, the wiki confirms what I thought but didn't voice out loud as yet (I was sure about it for the Universal, but not for the Athena): the upgrade utility doesn't *require* that it be Activesynced. That's, as I'd said, te whole point of the bootloader.
If you still have problems uploading the new ROM to your Athena after following the wiki thing, then it *does* mean that there is some external factor playing dirty, so the firewall to check (and some anti-virus software also scan network connections) indeed is a good idea.
Keep us posted, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Hi everybody, I recently got myself a Mac I love it but there is one problem. No WinMo Device Center. So to work around this I decided to buy Paralells (for MS Office and WinZip as well)... Anyway, after setting up WindowsXP SP3 and ActiveSync in Windows, all seems well. Well when I connect My HD2 to my Mac via USB (select to connect to Windows) it installs proper drivers and I can use ActiveSync normally.
But here's my problem: When I try to flash, it goes to the bootloader, takes a while but installs the drivers to connect to USB in bootloader, and on my HD2 it even says "USB" but whenever I try to continue the CustomRUU past that point I get the connection error. So I restart, this time going to bootloader first, says it's connected to USB on my device again, but again I get the connection error.
I know you may be saying "Why not just flash via SD card?" and that's what I normally do but I haven't found a way to Task29 this way, and I always do Task29 before switching ROMs. So if anyone either has a solution or a workaround, please help a brotha out! Thnx
Hi.
Firstly, sorry about my English.
I am using HTC HD2 about 6 months. I was able to connect my phone with my pc by USB. But nowadays, i can't do it.
My PC is using Windows 7 64-bit.
Now, my problem is:
When i connect USB cable, there is no notification or sound in my PC. (like "a device connected to PC" or "a new hardware found" etc.)
Phone can be charged via USB connection with PC but I can't use activesync.
Otherwise, when i connect PC and phone by Bluetooth, i can use WMDC.
I controlled "USB to PC" module in my phone. I tried "enable faster data synchronization" checked and unchecked. And i checked "Ask me first..." But there is no effect
And also, i tried it in another PC (which is Vista) and another USB Cable.
And when i shut down the device, and i open it while pressing volume down button, bootloader opened but in bootloader screen there wasn't a text like "USB". There is a text "Serial".
I make hard reset but it doesn't effect too.
What do you think about my problem? May it be about USB input of my phone?
I used to make HSPL in my phone and he has custom rom now.
If the problem is a hardware problem, is it out of warranty? :S
Please help me.
Thanks.

It maybe because you are using Win 7 64 bit. Try installing 32 bit as well and see if it cures your problem.

Hi.
Thank you for your attention.
Unfortunately, i tried it, too. In another PC, whose OS is Vista 32-bit. There is no sound or notification at PC
Actually, i've searched so many topics in this forum.
And i am almost sure that my problem is a hardware problem.
Because i tried so many things in settings of PC and Phone but there is no change.
I just wanna ask you, guys, if i send my phone to service, is there any problem about my phone's HSPL and Custom ROM situtation??
So the problem is hardware problem and most probably my USP Port is damaged.
Do you think they tell me that "your phone is out of warranty bec. of HSPL!" ?
Thanks.
faulty cable or faulty usb port. search out the "stuck in car kit mode" thread and compare the symptoms.
Hi all,
I'm having some issues when connecting my phone to the pc.
The phone is at stock rom 8773 and pc is my Laptop with Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bits.
The issue that i have is when connecting the cable between them the zune says its impossible to make a connection but i can sincronize the music and other stufff. But the utilities to try to downgrade the SPL and so can't connect to the phone.
The information that i need is:
If i do hard reset to the phone and go to a new PC windows 7 installed and Zune in teory i will be able to connect without issues to the phone and be able to do all the good stuff?
Can someone confirm this?
Hi ++
------1----------- try to remove the zune then reinstall it and try sync again
(if this way didn't solve your problem)
-------2----------so now you must uninstall the portable devices in device manager (the devices that belongs to your wp7) then plug in your device and it will install drivers,> after all driver installed sync again
(if this way didn't solve your problem)
-------3-----------I think it's time to (hard reset) no!!!! no!! after that try a soft reset and sync again then if everything was like the same so u must do that(HR)
Good luck !
