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.

All sorts of issues here.
I am no longer able to install new ROMs on my Aria. In the past I have flashed many ROMs on the phone. Recently I flashed an ICS rom but I did not like the way it was working so I went back to Cyanogenmod 7.1 RC1. Now for whatever reason, I am unable to flash any other ROMs. I put the new rom on the SD card like I always had then boot to CWM, go to install from SD card and it says that there are no files there. Which is not true and its not the SD card because I can still see the files with a file manager. When I select the ROM from inside ROM Manager it goes through the process but stops shortly after starting the install. I have heard that using a different version of CWM may work but when I try to download one from ROM manager it says an error occurred when trying to download. Also when I hook the phone up to my PC it doesnt recognize that it is plugged in other than its charging. (yes it is the original USB cord and USB debugging is on).
A few details: This phone has never connected with my current/new PC. It did work at one time with my old one. While trying to fix this I did a complete wipe of the phone, the first time I hooked it up to my current PC I got the whole new hardware detected thing on my PC and USB debug was active on the phone, but I don't know if I accidently hit a wrong option on my PC but it went right away and has never connected again.
I also noticed that the phone is S-ON, I thought/assumed it was S-OFF before. Could it have some how turned back on? I cant get it back off now since I cant use ADB without USB Debug connected.
I no longer use this Aria for daily use (replaced with One X ) so I am open to some possible "extreme" ideas of trying to fix this.
Thanks for any help. This is driving me nuts.
I'd probably do the following:
1) Format SD card fresh using this program, which can fix some problems with the way SD cards are formatted. It can fix stuff that formatting with Windows or from the phone directly won't fix. Worth a try first since it's relatively easy and will rule out the possibility that the SD card just got got corrupted or something.
2) If that doesn't work, and if you have HBOOT 1.02 or older, run the 2.2.2 RUU on the phone to completely reset everything. Then use Revolutionary to S-OFF the device again, and install one of the CWM builds here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25490394&postcount=66 . Hopefully whatever the problem is will be corrected by doing all that.
If you have HBOOT 1.03, let me know and I'll tell you what else you need to do first. (This won't work without downgrading to 1.02.)

How can I run this if I can not establish a connection to my PC? (I have HBOOT version 0.57.0000)
I tried the SD card format and it did not work.
I also noticed an error when first booting into recovery that says something along the lines of I do not have enough internal memory. I have wiped the data on this phone a few times so I cant imagine anything being actually full.

Install this first: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
Then try running the RUU again.

I have tried installing that before (tried again this time too) and it doesn't help. I still have no connection to the phone. I have Windows 7 if that helps anything.
I've found the most reliable way to get them to communicate is to put the phone into fastboot mode before connecting it to the computer, then running the RUU again. (If you don't know, to get to fastboot mode, select fastboot from the hboot menu.)

That didn't work either. I am thinking it has something to do with the PC. I installed that driver package you just put up there but is it possible that it didn't install correctly? How could I check that? When I installed it, it never gave any confirmation or anything. Just gave a load screen then went away.

You can try going to the uninstall programs list in control panel and uninstall anything related to HTC, rebooting, then installing the drivers I linked to again. Otherwise I'd just try on another computer if you can.
Edit: Also, before even trying that, you might just try different USB ports on the computer. If you are connecting to a USB 3.0 port (blue port), try a non-3.0 port (black port).

Well,sort of good news here. I had tried different USB ports before but thought I would give it another go, it still was not connecting. So in a bit of a fit of rage I took the micro usb cord at shoved it quite hard into the phone. Well the connection flickered. So it appears over the years the USB slot had gotten a nice amount of pocket lint or whatnot jammed tight in there to where it would connect enough to charge but not enough for a PC connection. I cleaned it all out the best I could and what do you know, it worked.
Foiled by pocket lint.... SMH.
I loaded the 2.2.2 RUU and will give the rest of the problems a go tomorrow and post an update. Thanks again for all the help.
Looks like everything is working like it used to.
Thanks again.
Hello,
I am new to these forums, therefore I cannot post into a Development thread.
I rooted and flashed a ROM on my phone (Genome 2.0 to be specific.)
It was a fine ROM, but I actually prefer Sense 4.1+ for right now and wish to go back to stock due to support reasons for my company as well. I saw a thread where you can use RUU. However, I cannot get the program to detect my phone (the dreaded error 170.) I also am in the process of using the ZIP file method where you grab it from the temp while RUU is open (getting it on my SD card has been another story.)
However, in the event I cannot get this to work, can someone who has got their DNA back to stock from root/ROM please give me some troubleshooting for the drivers? HTC Sync isn't detecting my DNA when there are no drivers. I wish to know how to remove ALL drivers for this phone from the device manager so it is as if I never had this device connected to my PC. I believe if I had these removed, it may help a lot of the issues I am having.
After hours (about 5 hours total) of checking into this, I figured out that it was trying to install the windows USB drivers for whatever reason. I just manually uninstalled whatever drivers it was trying to install (in this case, it showed up as Android 1.0 in the device manager.) I reinstalled it and manually browsed to the HTC folder in x86 Program Files after downloading and installing HTC Sync. It installed these drivers, showed up as MyHTC Phone, and I profited from my bloated factory Sense 4.1+ phone
In case anyone else was wondering, here are the steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2017525
Let me amend his steps:
1. When you boot back into your bootloader, go into Fastboot.
2. Make sure you uninstall any PDANet drivers or all drivers you had on your phone while rooted/ROM'd up.
3. Download HTC Sync Manager and install.
4. Disconnect your phone from USB and reconnect.
5. Install drivers manually from HTC folder in Program files x86.
6. Run RUU.
Going to attempt to unlock the bootloader again, shouldn't have any issues since I took care of that initially before I rooted this phone. I hope that I have solved a few people's issues who might have been like me scourging the internet hopelessly for help.
Dear readers,
I've got an HTC One S Ville on which CM Mod was running. I am travelling at the moment, on the other side of the world, so I really need my phone!
Once connected to wifi it asked to install 10.1.3, which I stupidly accepted.
Since then I'm stuck in a bootloop. I've tried a factory reset, which didn't help. I know reflashing boot.img might help, however I cannot connect my phone to any pc, because it doesn't recognize the device. Even a clean pc (borrowed laptop, I don't have one), on which I installed the HTC sync driver and BMP driver downloaded from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191279 doesn't show any approachable device.
I've given up and am lost in a forest of unknown tools etcetera and wish I'd never installed CM mod in the first place.
Who knows what to do?
My HBOOT is 2.15 and I can still enter the recovery console etc.
However, in the recovery console I cannot mount /sdcard, it gives an error.
Really, is it so ****ed up that no one knows an answer?
Well I assume you don't have a nandroid or you would have tried that already
At this point you either hope your phone supports otg and can mount an external flash drive or you need to install fastboot and adb and drivers or figure a way to get the sdcard to work, there really isn't a magic answer sorry

Hey all,
I've got a One Max T6VZW running the latest NuSenseSIX and Flykernel 2.3.2, TWRP 2.8.1.
I am unlocked, S-off, but have my bootloader displaying locked (for the fingerprint scanner).
I can't recall at what point this began, probably after achieving unlocked status (I vaguely remember using ADB at the time).
I've tried to connect to Windows 7, 8.1, Ubuntu 13.13, Linux Mint, and probably openSUSE, but nothing can see my phone.
Only in fastboot is it ever even noted by Windows 7 (USB device not recognized; briefly).
I've tried HTC drivers from HTC Sync (sync uninstalled), HTC drivers standalone, and Android drivers from Squabbi's HTC One Max toolkit.
Can't be seen in Android, fastboot, bootloader, recovery, or recovery USB mass storage.
The One Max recognizes USB has been plugged in, begins charging, and allows me USB networking options, but no other options.
I've used multiple USB cables, and multiple ports (USB 3 and 2).
I think I may have put a stock (although leaked) RUU on my external SD card and installed that via the bootloader, and even that was unable to resolve the problem.
Has anyone experience this? Any solutions or ideas?
Attached is software information.
Thanks to all in advance.

This may sound stupid but is your firewall by chance blocking from drivers being installed from windows update,
I don't believe so, as I've had this issue on multiple operating systems.
I haven't had luck with Microsoft's drivers as well, and Windows Update installs them without problem.
Hope this helps !

Olrite so i guess you are dealing with the same i dealt with a while ago when i was on cayanogen mod 11 on my HTC one M7 International ... there are many alternatives to transfer stuff from phone to Laptop but first lets talk about the normal one
Method 1 which you should try is ....
* Download the HTC sync manager .. its ok if you dont wanna use it to transfer data .. just install it ...
* ok so now the important one .. make sure you have window media player installed on your computer ....
okay so why windows media player ??
Well it contains all the MTP drivers you need to connect your phone to your pc ...
* you can restart your system now .. (Optional)
* now connect your device with debugging on ... grab the notification bar click on USB related notification .. and choose MTP or something like that ...i mean don't choose HTC sync manger .. choose the other one
* Now if everything went well you will se your storage in My computer ... and in Windows media player too...
Method 2....
Well if nothing works then download an app called Air Droid ...
it have some nice functionality ...
you will get to know how to use it after installing it ...
by chance if the local link given in the app does not works make a hotspot .. connect your computer to it and open a browser like chrome .. and go to 192.168.1.1:8888
Note : port 8888 is pre configured in the app so if you changed it .. use the dirrent port you used ..
If you are not laptop is not connected with your phone's hotspot then your phone and computer should be on the same network ..
Good luck ... hit thanks if it works just to let me know
