[Q] Desire running CM7 - USB connection - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello!
First of all: Yes, I have searched. Both XDA forums and google in general.
I am reverting to the stock OS on my Desire. I am doing so using the program I found here.
Basically, you connect your phone to the PC (USB) and run the program, easy as that.
However, I can't get any connection between my phone and PC. Neither in the installer here, or HTC Sync. But I can still charge the phone and mount USB storage.
I have tried various versions of HTC Sync.
Any ideas on how I can fix this? The reason I am using this installer and not just a zip file is because I have to send my phone to reparation, and therefore remove all traces of me rooting the phone and installing a recovery and a rom.
Thanks in advance!

Hero not recognised by PC

Hi,
I've been trying to upgrade my Hero to the latest ROM from Orange UK but have run into problems...
I've tried as many solutions posted on the web as possible but to no avail...I'm starting to think I've got a dud phone.
I'm running Vista SP2 32bit...downloaded Sync and Drivers from HTC website. When plugged into PC it says something like USB device has malfunctioned and is not recognised.
An icon appears in notification bar saying HTC sync, but when clicked it says HTC sync cannot be found on your computer.
It appears in device manager as "Unknown Device" and if I try to update the software to the HTC drivers it has an error and says make sure it's designed for windows 32 bit or something along those lines.
I've tried on 4 different PC's with 5 different cables, all to no avail with the same outcome.
I've used a friends HTC (not Hero but runs android) and that was recognised straight away.
Am I missing something or am I right in thinking the phone is buggered and I need a warranty claim or something?
Many thanks for any help!
Forgot to mention - is there any way to update the ROM not through a PC? For example can I put it on the SD card then transfer across?
Thanks
Does it make a difference when you have USB debugging activated?
Settings --> Applications --> Development --> USB debugging.
Unfortunately not, I've tried it both on and off!

Follow BTDAG's guide linked in my signature. Download flashrec and amon-ra recovery, put onto SD and see if you can install.
This doesn't solve your original issue though, but will allow you to flash custom ROM's.

[Q] Docking after root

Hello! I just rooted my Eris yesterday and when I plug my phone into my computer it doesn’t come up on my phone and ask me how I want to dock it (it is checked to ask on the phone itself) . When I first plugged it in and it tried to install the drivers it failed. Over at developer.android.com where I got and installed SDK it said to use pda.net to install drivers, which I did. So now my computer recognizes the phone and I can push apps over however the phone still will not give me the option to mount as a drive. Is there anyway I can make it mount so I can browse files in file explorer. Thank you in advance.
i'm assuming you are on a Windows PC...
firstly, are you able to mount as storage in Recovery?
also, not sure about the pdanet method (never used it)... but i know that if you install HTC Sync it should work fine (link below).

Sorry, yes. Windows Vista 32bit
To be honest, I'm not sure what I did but it works now. I plugged it into my laptop to charge and it wanted to mount with no problems. I Just tried it on my PC and it also worked. Even worked with the same usb cord I used last night so that rules out a cord problem
Thanks though. I didn't even think about trying it in recovery mode. If it happens again I will see where that gets me

Can't USB tether. Windows won't install driver

Hi guys,
Please help me out. I'm about to pull my hair out!!
I installed Kies and the USB drivers, but everytime I try to USB tether, Windows 7 fails to install the driver. I tried uninstalling the Samsung drivers on the computer where it won't work, but it still won't install.
The weird thing is that I plugged in the phone into another computer also running win 7 and that computer easily found the right driver and installed it. Didn't need to install Samsung drivers.
What happens is the driver is downloaded, tries to install, then gives me an error. I attached an image of the error I get. Any advice would be appreciated!
There's a program called driver magician that allows you to take and save a driver off one computer and restore it in another.
If you don't go that route you can always leave the phone plugged in and open hardware manager. Then delete your phone. When it asked choose to delete the driver with it.
Then try it again.

Thanks. That didn't work, but I figured it out!
For anyone who has a similar problem with installing a driver, open up setupapi.dev.log in notepad which is located in c:\windows\inf -- it's kind of a labyrinth to navigate, but I found that I was missing a file which it was looking for. I then found that file on another computer, put it into c:\windows\inf and it worked. There were two missing files actually, usb8023x.sys and rndismpx.sys. Took me all day but finally got USB tethering working.
Unfortunately wifi tethering doesn't work (no internet connection) -- anyone get that?
Nice work.
Never had issues with wifi tethering. Have you made any changes to your phone? Root, rom, ect?
Sent from my páhhōniē
I'm on stock ROM but I did root it to delete the tetheringmanager apk
When I was on stock I did that too with no issues. Try downloading a tethering app from the market like barnacle and see if that makes a difference.

[Q] All basic Aria Drivers

Hi all,
I have an Aria running CM 7.2
I have a PC with Win XP SP3 where I am not able to connect my Aria because of lack of drivers.
I don't want to download and install HTC sync (pay-per-use plan).
Is there a standalone driver pack for Aria which I can use for:
ADB: VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_01
Android Phone: VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_00
Also there are other hardware IDs which I don't have right now, like fastboot etc.
I searched the internet and could not find any helpful drivers.
Can anyone help regarding this?
You can get the drivers here:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
File size: 13.1 MB
Thanks for the above. I installed it.
But I still get error messages saying hardware not recognized.
The (new!) hardware IDs are:
Without ADB
Android Phone : VID_0BB4&PID_0FF9
With ADB
Mass Storage : VID_0BB4&PID_0C92&MI_00
and still cannot connect the phone.
I tried specifying the path to the actual drivers in the HTC program folder, but no help.
Any solutions?

I tested my Aria with an old PC and it worked. Try installing the latest version of HTC Sync: http://dl3.htc.com/application/sync/htc_sync_3.0.5617_us.exe.
Can you explain how you are attempting to connect the phone? Are you just trying to use the RUU? Are you trying to use adb?
The drivers I linked to should allow you to do both.
Here's what I did.
I tried to connect the phone (normal working condition running CM7) without any drivers installed.
The missing hardware IDs were the ones in the first post.
Then I tried to install the drivers from the link.
The installer did not work, some trouble with the MSI Package.
I went to temp folder and ran the MSI package by itself. This time it ran.
Then when I tried to connect the phone (running, with ADB on), it detected drivers like Android Phone, USB Composite Device, ADB.
But got stuck when Mass Storage was to be installed. Threw a 'new hardware found' window at me.
I disconnected and connected without ADB this time.
This time it got stuck on Android Phone.
Can you verify the file's MD5 sum? It should be:
HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
f60771a86c4ad69c8c9c1d158e60e850
I'm not sure what else could be the issue unless some old drivers are interfering or something.

Well the MD5 is all good. Probably the machine is messed up.
Other USB devices do work though, without a problem.
Anyway, this is only a spare machine. Just was wondering why it would not work here. I might try installing HTC Sync later, but I highly doubt it will work.
Thanks a lot for the help.

[Q] ADB cannot find HOX+ in Windows 7

My hox+ will not connect to ADB on my Windows 7 machine. It works fine in OSX, so it shouldn't be a hardware issue. I have tried installing HTC Sync, uninstalling the driver manually, browsing for drivers on the file system, and pretty much anything else I could find online for the hox and hox+.
The only thing I can get to install for the device is the default Microsoft MTP driver. Even if I uninstall it, restart my machine and plug the phone back in, it just comes back with that same driver. It never gives me the chance to choose my own before it shows up as an MTP device.
Does anyone have any suggestions to get this working?
EDIT: More info
I have flashed the AT&T CWM recovery to my device, and it is NOT rooted.
Try another usb port.
Is usb debugging turned on in settings?

Don't worry about the MTP driver, it's irrelevant. As the poster above me said, first try a diffrent usb port, one that connects directly to the mobo. ADB does not play nice with usb hubs.

This is on a laptop, I am not connecting to a USB hub. I've tried each USB port with the same result.
I have also tried every combination of turning debugging on and off, each time the device will just reconnect as an MTP device. ADB still does not detect anything. I am an app developer, and I have a bunch of other devices that work fine.
Has anyone got this to connect to adb on a Windows machine successfully?
EDIT: Would having a custom recovery installed affect ADB on my stock rom? I have the AT&T CWM recovery installed.
bump, I really would like to get this resolved. I am going to try and call HTC today to see what they say about this issue.
Let us know how much support HTC offered, since it is AT&T branded. And how you worked around telling them you installed custom recovery?

USB debugging enabled?

This might help, I had a similar issue. I installed HTC Sync which installs the drivers, then I uninstalled just the HTC Sync app leaving the drivers.

No need to "work around" having a custom recovery installed. This has nothing to do with the device not being detected properly in Windows 7 while booted into the OS.
Spoke with tier 1 support and he didn't really know what ADB was, but still tried all the usual troubleshooting. The support request was escalated and I got a call back yesterday where the tech was more knowledgeable. He tried all the install/uninstall driver stuff that I did, which still did not work (uninstall/reinstall driver, force install in device manager, remove all htc drivers using USBDeview). After that did not work he had another idea that ended up being the solution. I'll put that below for anyone that has the same problem.
How to solve HTC One X+ not detected by ADB:
Download and use USBDeview to remove all instances of HTC drivers.
Open the androidusb.inf file in your HTC drivers folder (you are going to need admin privs to write to this part of the filesystem, open Notepad as Administrator and then open the file). Modify the ClassGuid=XXXXXXXXX... with the Device class guid of your HOX+ including the { }. It is found under Details in Device Manager properties for your device. Save the file back to its original location.
Now open Device Manager. Find the device (mine was under Portable Devices), Right-click -> Update Driver Software -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Have Disk... -> Browse for androidusb.inf (x64 Windows 7 it is in C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64) -> HTC, Corporation -> MY HTC -> Ok. Congratulations, your device should now be detected by ADB.
