Hi, I've searched around the forum, but i don't see any solutions. Am trying to run the unroot ruu, but I keep getting error code "171", telling me basically, that it can't find my phone, that it is not plugged in, i think. I really need to take it in for warranty repair, cause I am having serious issues with the proximity sensor.
Any idea guys?
Do u have the drivers installed, debug on, charge only mode enabled? It has been a while since I did the ruu, so some of those steps may be over kill

I would try downloading the drivers again. Download htc sync which will download drivers also. Then go into control panel>uninstall programs and then uninstall htc sync. Drivers will remain. Then plug phone in again and see if computer sees phone.

When I was doing this I had to install the drivers twice. When the RUU attempts to reboot into the bootloader, if you have device manager open, you can see that it drops out and no longer recognizes your phone and you'll see a device with a yellow exclamation point next to it.
So, next time you try when it reboots into the bootloader load the drivers quickly (same way you have before). If you're fast enough it'll continue the RUU process. If you're not fast enough, oh well, the RUU should just work when you try it again.
ok, so when i rooted, i couldn't get the root to run on my desktop (almost bricked it I thought) cause it kept saying "too many devices" and it would get stuck. then got this crazy idea to do it from my laptop and voila! it worked flawlessly first time. Then when I started having issues with the proximity sensor and going back for warranty I had to unroot, right?
Only this time, no matter what I could not get the ruu to run on my laptop. So again, this crazy idea says go to the desktop and voila! it worked! I think that is too friggin " weird!
So I am good now, thanks!
I had a problem with running the RUU to unroot the other day, and the thing that fixed it was turning off my antivirus software for some reason..

Hi Guys!!
While trying to upgrade my phone, this is what happened:
STEP ONE: Super CID
The first time it went wrong cause the ACtiveSync was not on to complete the final stage of tis step. So, I never got the "Unlocker" Application on my phone in order to unlock the phone. (What happened is that I probably forgot to put on the password after rebooting, so the ActiveSync never recognised the phone.
So, I decided to restart the step and I completed it successfully!!
STEP TWO: Hard SPL
This step went perfect!!!
STEP THREE: RADIO ROM
After the phone booted from Step Two, my laptop does not recognize the phone anymore!!!! The battery charging sign only appear for a few seconds then I get a pop up saying "One of your USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it". This means that the ACtiveSync cannot run. I have tried this on my Laptop and my PC but same results.
My phone looks ok though, so what went wrong guys? What are my options here?
Thanks

Your phone is not bricked. Congratulations on successfully CID unlocking and installing Hard SPL. Most with issues don't at least do the Hard SPL before they get themselves into trouble.
What version of Activesync are you using? Do you have enable advanced network compatibility checked on the start->settings->connection->USB tab of your phone? If so uncheck it.
If you are on AS 4.2 I recommend upgrading to 4.5. Also unplug the phone from your computer and reboot both devices then try to reconnect.
This problem is actually quite common and easily worked around. It can be frustrating though.
All is GOOD!!!

Thanks Man, I managed to succesfully upgrade it!!!
hey all,
ive been a member for a while, but have never posted. i usually am always reading and trying to keep up with updates, and how to's... i am currently running liberated Aria FROO8 (2.6.32.17-cyanogen-Liberty), and have been for some time. i am nervous usually when it comes to rom updates, so i dont update constantly (if anyone has a great rom i should update to, please dont hesitate to shout it out). the problem was when i decided to update to Clockworkmod recovery 3.2 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1003723
now, my computer does not recognize my phone, and will only charge the phone. i have tried to reinstall unrevoked, but when i go through the steps, my device manager or registers it as My Htc, and i cannot update using the drivers i downloaded. it seems that its the computer not accepting the phone and not the phone restricting anything. please, please, can someone help, i need to be able to access my phone on my computer, and i have read all 33 pages of the forum thread i linked above. what do i need to do? is there a way to uninstall the recovery 3.2? if i were to upgrade to a new ROM, would the computer still not recognize the computer. i realize as well, after the fact, that i installed the recovery meant for the Desire.
how can i get my computer to recognize this Aria without having to reboot everything and try to start from scratch, does anyone know if i need to reinstall CWM and which one would work for me. when i plugged my phone after install, its states that device driver not installed correctly. then when i run through the instructions loacated here:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/
and here:
http://www.unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php?id=public:windows_hboot_driver_install
and neither load a correct driver onto my computer, my computer does not register it as Other Device/Android 1.0, it registers it as My Htc.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

i would say use the 2.1 (NOT 2.2) RUU update to return to stock and re-run unrevoked
1st link 404s(page not found)
is there also a way to delete the CWM 3.2 i installed on the computer, i cant seem to find it anywhere, where would it be. thanks for the quick reply, there was no link though to the 2.1.
i dont understand how a newer version of CWM was installed without s-off
how did you flash it?
Try turning your phone completely off, then using volume down + power to turn it on, and then select FASTBOOT from the HBOOT menu. Leave your phone on this screen.
Then run the 2.1 RUU. You can download it from here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9D9NGT6J
You are going to lose your ROM settings when you do this because this reverts your phone to stock. Then you can run Unrevoked again.

thanks a million! i noticed that when i fastbooted, that the computer registered a usb plug, but that was the only time it ever did, thats why i figured the problem was on the computer side, when i tried to install the 3.2 CWM for the Desire.
i followed the instructions on the page to update the CWM to 3.2. Like a moron, i skipped turning the S-Off. so when i installed it through fastboot, like it said, the phone rebooted, but the computer could not identify the phone, and so that left me with a phone that couldnt load into the computer. i also noticed, when i tried to run Clockwork Recovery through Ubuntu, i couldnt find that either. does anyone have the link to loading through Ubuntu?
two questions...does have a ROM that you recommend, the one i had seemed to work great for me, even though its a 2.2. but i cant seem to find a link for it. does anyone know where i can find it, or one better? i loved what i was using but now not sure which to choose, since soo many have been released since i originally downloaded it. thanks again for everyones help.
sullylove
the problem was with my phone and not my computer...i should have known. when i loaded 3.2 i figured that it had to be the computer since i loaded 3.2 through the computer. stupid me. normally im pretty cautious about just downloading, but i noticed that my clockworkmod had never updated from 2.5.0.7 and i saw that there were alot of them. but ill tell ya i loved the ROM I was using. just cant find it.
liberated Aria FROO8 (2.6.32.17-cyanogen-Liberty)
if anyone has a link to it, or one better, or that i should be using please let me know.
much thanks!

For future reference, just leave your recovery version alone. Versions 3.0 and higher are actually not compatible with FR008, which doesn't sound like something you want, does it?
The ROM you've been using (FR008) is available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819715
There is also another somewhat newer version of Sense Froyo that is based off the the official AT&T 2.2.2 release (whereas FR008 is based on the global 2.2.0 release). The differences are minor but you can try it out and see what you think: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970272 (Skip all the way down to the bottom of the first post for the most recent version.)
no that does not...thanks for everything! i am clearly a novice, and should be more careful. and thanks for letting me know of the Sense 2.2.2. i think i might give that a shot. that seems to be a much smarter risk than just downloading an update i cant use, only to satisfy my hunger to update something. thanks again. to everyone

so i went ahead and tried to run the factory fastboot in Hboot but the computer never recognized that anything was plugged into the usb port. My phone only charges now when plugged into the computer, even in Hboot. Hboot recognizes that the usb is plugged in, but my computer does not recognize anything, so i was unable to reset it to factory Rom, nor use the Ubuntu unrevoked, and when i tried to install the US att 2.2.2 ROM, it installed, but still the computer did not recognize any phone. am i screwed?
How do i turn off the Eng S-On in Hboot? and is there a way to find where the CWM 3.2 installed into to get it off my computer, because it seems the computer wont let the phone be recognized? When Hboot loads i receive the screen first picture that i loaded, then it goes to the HBoot menu screen, then when i plug in the usb, it changes to Hboot Usb, then i choose Fastboot which is the next screen, the final screens are what my computer registers the phone, and what drivers are installed said item. what can i do???????

Try installing HTC Sync (leave it installed but don't have it open) before you run the RUU.
so i reinstalled HTC Sync, and the computer did pick up the phone long enough to run the aria stock rom, but now when the phone rebooted and finished installing the rom, the computer no longer registered anything plugged in. so i wasnt able to run unrekovered or now anything else, as it seems the computer still hasnt found the phone, and i can no longer do a hboot recovery to a backed up rom. it definitely seems to be the computer. but now im kind of in limbo, cant reload a back up, and computer still cant pick up the usb phone. reinstalling the computer system to factory, to clear anything that the 3.2 CWM may have installed, and i guess also wipe the sd on the phone as well. is there anything that a CWM installs onto a sd card? computer?
Next you should uninstall HTC Sync (but do not uninstall the HTC drivers), and also install the HBOOT drivers by following these directions: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
After that, Unrevoked should work.
i did all of that step by step, and when i plugged the usb in during Hboot installation it never showed up as other device\android 1.0 it showed up as Android\My HTC. after installing the specific driver as per instructions, it did change to Android bootloader interface, but problem is unrevoked, nor the computer are registering any phone being plugged in. the program wont run unless it has a phone connected to computer. is there something to the sd checking missing files screen i posted? and apparently recovery can no longer be obtained.
I don't know what you could have done as far as installing drivers on your computer. Perhaps you should try starting from scratch on another computer if you have access to one.
There is also an Ubuntu LiveCD method that might work for you. I assume it's mentioned somewhere in the Unrevoked thread.
thanks, i had tried the ubuntu live cd unrevoked install option, but since the computer never registers a phone plugged into the usb port, it wont install. damn...i dont have access to another computer. could it be something on the sd drive? plus, should the hboot Eng S-On be off?
sullylove
I don't understand. How were you able to run the RUU if your phone won't show up on your computer?
As far as S-OFF, if you want to go that route you would have to use the recently released AlphaRevX beta. Unrevoked does NOT give you S-OFF.
Nothing on the SD card should matter, but feel free to wipe it if you want.
Its been a while but don't you need USB debugging enabled to run unrevoked? Maybe check that?
Sent from my cm7 Aria.
i dont know, when i reinstalled HTC Sync (when the computer installed the My HTC driver) is when the computer picked up the phone. but i havent been able to duplicate that time. USB Debugging was on and still is. i am going to try to see if a computer at work today can pick up the phone. if it does than that at least means its my computer thats not picking up my phone. if the computer does not pick up my phone, than i know its my phone and/or sd card. i honestly dont know why its not picking it up since it was able to do it for the aria rom reset. i hope i can get this rectified.
so i am at work, and so i plugged my phone into the usb at the computer at work, and it found the phone, installed drivers, or at least tried to because HTC Sync wasnt installed on it, nor My HTC Drivers. but i guess that at least means its my computer and not the phone or sd card. at least i have a starting point.

I have a problem with using HTC dev.
After pressing Fast boot and plugging it into my computer and my computer (windows 7) makes an error sound. I thought nothing of it and continued, when it came to the time when i had to get the identifier token, it didn't show.
Instead it said "Waiting for Device".
I googled it and i found a page, I uninstalled HTC sync and it still came with the same result.
Might there be something wrong with my drivers? If so how can i fix it?
Please help me , i wanna get back into rooting after leaving the iP4.
Thanks
Did you have HTC Sync enabled while you had the phone connected to your computer? If so, it should have been disabled.
Have you made sure you have the necessary drivers installed?, I had the same problem I think and this was my problem (I think), also did you restart your computer after uninstalling HTC Sync? Cause (I think ) it has to be disabled for the DEV unlock to work.
I had the exact same problem when trying to unlock the bootloader on my Rezound, I tried everything that was mentioned above and had no luck. But the second I used my friend's computer to do it all, it worked perfectly fine. I don't know why but for some reason my computer just would not recognize the device in fastboot no matter what I did. Hope this helps.
While the drive is connected, get to the devices screen.
You should see an Android section.
Right click on the device listed under Android. Click uninstall.
Unplug the device and wait for the device list to update. The Android section should disappear.
Now plug in the device again, and it should load the device driver again.
Give it a sit.shot after that.
Have been on Gingerbread with HTC unlock.
Did 1 try of the Bear s-0ff, and it only booted to green Bear screen.
Did boot image install with PH98IMG in hboot, but it won't take
a recovery done with PH98IMG. Does not charge with any cable nor
does any computer see the phone. Fastboot does not go to fastboot-USB
on any other computer either. It will boot into the rom that was on it,
but not recovery.
Please suggest ideas to get USB to connect for charge or fastboot again.
Thanks.
Bump.
Similar problem here, although S-OFF, ICS leaked firmware, and Nils Business ICS 3.4 running fine. Phone charges from outlet, but cannot connect to PC, fastboot USB, charge mode or drive mode. Is it hardware?
If I try to connect and fail, then reboot, the connection dialogue comes up even if on the AC adapter, and if I then connect to PC, I get pulsing "USB Device Not Recognized" messages, but the "drives" don't connect (and the drivers *are* properly installed.)
For what it's worth, I *can* access the cards (internal and external) in Amon Ra 3.15; I *can* run a Nandroid and a restore. I can even run adb via wifi, I just can't connect to PC. However, after trying to do so, then rebooting, the handset things it's connected if I'm plugged into AC.
Really bizarre.
I'm having this issue at home on my windows 7 pc, but at work, on my windows XP machine, it has no problem recognizing the device. At home it just says "Unable to recognize device". I tried using widgetsoid, but that didn't work either.
Don't know about anyone else, but for me, at least, it appears to be a hardware problem. Rolled back to stock 2.01 RUU and still unable to connect, and unit thinks it's connected when it's not. Rolled back forward and will learn to deal with it or return for warranty claim.
Dumped down the innertubes from my Rezound.

Followup:
Con247 sent me suggestions, directions, and a flashable

I called VZN support, got a nice refurb, and am waiting to
see if old one is accepted or charged back to me.

Yup. Con was helping me out, too, behind the scenes. (Dude is amazing).
Please let me know what happens. I know how to roll back to stock and get the hboot to even say LOCKED without TAMPERED, even though it says S-OFF. I'm just looking for a time frame when I have time to restore everything from this unit to any replacement.....and s-off that unit, of course.
Have you checked that it's not the computer causing the problem. I have 2 Windows 7 laptops and 1 would not recognize my phone even though I installed the same HTC drivers on both. Eventually I got it resolved by reinstalling the entire HTC Sync package with the drivers from that, then removing the sync program.

Thanks, but I've tried with 3 different PC's, 3 different USB cables, 3 different SD cards, and 3 different RUU's. On all 3, the Rezound fails to connect, and then, on reboot, even if it's FIRST REBOOT AFTER RUU, it boots up thinking it's already connected to PC offering me "charge" or "drive mode." If I select drive mode, it dismounts internal and external sdcard, and won't remount them once I disconnect without reboot. If I select charge, then pull the cable, it reminds me to connect, but at least realizes it's *not* connected.
And fastboot usb not obtainable under hboots 2.11, 2.21, 2.25 and Juopunut's ICS hboot.
So, that's why I"m pretty sure it's a hardware issue at this point.
So basically moonshine is the only option if you take the ota to get s-off. so i have all the drivers installed and and start moonshine and it all goes good until it says rebooting into bootloader <again> waiting for fastboot <9/60> then instead of going to the next step it makes dashes (-) that fill up the comand promt and my phone is in the fastboot menu. I let it do that for about An hour *and I've tried multiple times. Any ideas ?

Additional info running windows 7 phones on 4.1.1 with the 2.06.605.1 710 RD update, usbdebug is on fastboot is off. Phone is fully charged. Htcsync is uninstalled and im using usb 2.0 with factory HTC cable.
Try different drivers (pdanet) and disable your firewall and antivirus. I tried everything 2 with moonshine. I was so frustrated. Took me a whole day to finally work. Disabling firewall, anti virus, and loading different drivers finally worked!!!!!
BTW I was stuck in the EXACT spot where your having trouble!
Also.....after each unsuccessfully try reboot your phone and reattempt
Make sure you have the latest android SDK tools installed as well. Great video here if you are lost with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdeIol1m6A0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Uninstall any HTC drivers and just plug the phone in and let it build drivers directly from the phone.
Hope my tips help.

Tried all that except the pda drivers and the firewall. Going to give it a go tomorrow thanks it is driving me crazy and it helps to have someone else's input so i really appreciate it.
MoonShine didn't work for me. Try RevOne. If that doesn't initially work try omitting the -P switch in the first step and continue.
if it fails grab a ubuntu 32 bit live cd and use those instructions it took me about 10 minutes to do mine since it reboots the phone about 20 times lol.
Alright I used revone and finally got s-off unlocked but I tried flashing twrp and it hangs when trying to enter recovery. It says enteringrecovery and I have to hold power to reboot it.

moonshine works
plug your usb cable into a port directly on the mobo, be sure you have installed all of the HTC drivers(remove the sync program and any other HTC programs), makes sure your adb is up to date.
The first night i did it, it didnt work and I kept getting the WTF? What are you doing? error.
2nd night, made sure adb and drivers installed(restart pc), used port on modo instead of hub, changed screen timeout settings to 10 mins instead of never, (ran adb.exe as admin), ran moonshine as admin(win 7x64) and it worked. I screenshot the results if ud like to see.
