[Q] ActiveSync doesn't work anymore

Sounds like USB port is broken.
Hi all,
I've read a couple of threads for several days now, but none of the answers worked for me.
Problem is: I can connect from my HD2 to my desktop PC (win 7) initially, but when I try to install a new ROM (3.14.407_2), my HD2 restarts, shows the four colour screen and nothing more happens. After some minutes, my PC tells me that my phone isn't connected anymore.
It worked two months ago for the last ROM flash, but now nothing helps.
Tried:
- rebooting PPC and PC several times
- deleting partnership and setting up a new one
- disabling "faster connect" for usb to PC settings - afterwards, PC doesn't recognize any connection at all
- hard reset on PPC
I have no idea what to try next.. I wanted to install HSPL2 and flash the ROM from my SD card, but can't install HSPL2 ... same problem.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Infyrana
I also tried several USB ports on my PC
You think the HD2 USB port is broken? But I was able to transfer data when connected as normal device without active sync.
Do I have any chance to check, whether you are right, without having to send my phone to HTC?
maybe running the update in compatibility mode will help?
I thought the microsoft mobile device center (or however it is called) was made for win7, as the actual activeSync tool cannot be used?
So I can't see a benefit from this, but anyway.. I will try.
You could try using BlueTooth with ActiveSync, thats what I do. I have a "micro" bluetooth adaptor for my laptop and it all works fine... just a bit slower.

the compatibility mode for the ROM update file could help becasuse it is a separate application (no guarantee though as I have no way to check it on my PC)
compatibility mode didn't help.
don't have a bluetooth stick ...
no further suggestions?
Just found out, that windows tries to install driver "Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM" when I connect my HD2 after starting bootloader.
But it just searches and doesn't find anything. I searched by myself, but didn't find the driver anywhere ...
if you are really determined to update ROM, find the thread on ROM 3.14 here on xda forum, I recall seeing guidelines on installing ROM from SD Card
of course it will not solve your sync problem, but still...
Yah ... I wanted to install HSPL2 to be able to do install the ROM from the SD card (at least that's what I understood - that I need that first), but I can't install it, as I already wrote.
I GOT IT!!!
Finally.. in a forum somewhere in a forgotten corner of the internet.. someone gave an advice to uninstall the windows mobile device center and reinstall it.
After uninstalling, I had some trouble to find it again, but finally got it.
And guess what: it works now.
Windows managed to install the quadcomm driver and I could update my ROM.
Never had such a hard challenge with my HD2.
Thanks everyone who tried to help!

SuperOneClick Checking Drivers... Failed.

Hi there, first post!
So I've done a lot of searching on the forums & I can't find anyone with this problem with the X10. I found that someone had the problem on the Galaxy S 4G, but except for the initial problem all the other information I found in the thread was irrelevant.
OK So I have PC Companion installed, I tried to get SEUS but it said on Sony Ericsson's website "This software is not available for the Xperia™ X10.
Go to the Software downloads overview to see available software for your phone."
So to get the SEMC HUSB driver I downloaded the x10 drivers from sony's developer website. OK, now in USB debug mode, I don't get the question mark logo next to SEMC HUSB device in my Windows device manager anymore.
Run superoneclick, I get "checking drivers. . . failed" & then it freezes at "waiting for device."
Can anyone help me?
ATM I am switching to my old computer that I used to upgrade my x10a to 2.1 with (I am on AT&T & my 2.1 install has gone sort of buggy, the English keyboard has dead spots on it, but the korean keyboard works fine, the dead spots are also dead when opening apps there, but I can use the dead spot to scroll fine. I figured if I am going to flash it, I might as well root and upgrade)

Try using the latest flashtool from the flashtool thread.
It should come with a folder in it with the correct drivers.

[Q] Samsung Charge usb issue, please help!

Posted this on the general discussion section but have had no replies, hopefully someone here can help?
Hi everyone, first, this is my first post, new to the forums, at least as a registered user. I have a problem with my phone. I know most of you are wondering why I have not just read the other posts on the forums, but I have. I have attempted every solution to the problem posted previously.
Background: Phone: Samsung charge.
I was being impatient and did not want to wait for the gingerbread update form Verizon. I flashed the leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 onto my phone using odin. Everything went great. I was able to use my phone with no problems except shortened battery life, but nothing major. About a month ago the battery life was impossible to maintain and there were some software bugs, like clicks during calls, startup taking forever, around 2 minutes on average!, and random restarts that never happened before. I decided to look up some fixes and found that verizon and samsung had released GB 2.3.6 for the charge. I got excited and decided I wanted to get that, but I could not via OTA. I read some forum posts and they mentioned attempting a factory reset on the phone then trying OTA update. I went ahead with factory reset and everything went fine. My startup time is around 25 seconds now and no random clicks or gliches, but still not on 2.3.6, which was the whole point. I then decided to just flash the stock 2.3.6 rom to the phone.
Problem: When I plug my phone in to multiple computers it will charge but not connect to the computer. This means on my Mac it does not show as an external drive, which it has in the past. On my windows 7 machine it says that drivers were installed but could not be used (I can get the exact quote if needed.) I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device". I have tried to enter download mode when hooked up to windows computers and no connection is found.
Possible solutions attempted and their outcomes:
1. As stated, I attempted the method shown in a thread on droid forums for installing the samsung drivers. I have attempted multiple times to install the drivers on my windows machine and the device remains "unknown".
2. I have attempted multiple cables on multiple computers, both mac and windows 7. No change.
3. I have installed adb and attempted to locate devices using adb devices command on mac. No devices found.
4. I have attempted all methods with both usb debugging checked and unchecked.
5. I have tried every possible usb port I have.
Ideas/questions I have had that I have no idea are possible or how to fix!
Would a factory reset take away the ability to connect to a computer from my phone. So, is there a piece of software in the build I have that controls the connection between the computer and the phone, an identifier of sorts, which is now missing, now that I have reset the leaked ROM.
Is there a way to flash a new ROM without connecting to a computer, via the sd card, and what is that? I have read some things in other posts but am too much of a n00b to understand most of them when using sdcards.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I have been at this for at least 6 hours, sifting through forums, searching google, attempting fixes that others have stated worked for them, only to fail every time. Thank you all.
have you try on a different pc?
maybe on your PC there is some problem with the drivers.
Moreover to connect via
adb u must enable Debug mode on your device in the application menu.
To flash kernel or other directly from your sd you can use the clockwordmode, but to install it you must before
install it and i fear you must use your cable connection

I have tried multiple PCs and a mac, even windows on bootcamp. I have installed drivers on every one, even uninstalled and reinstalled on one. One PC, my laptop was a fresh windows install (it was a linux box but I needed windows to use Odin). I was in debug mode and not in debug mode when attempting adb. Thanks for the suggestions though. As I said, I have tried numerous things and am completely stuck! so frustrating!
"I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device"
Exactly there... you can try to force device to install a different driver.
Double click the unknown device then driver then update driver then find software in your computer then choose manually from a list of device drivers in your computer then show all devices you should see "android adb interface" or something related to google or android.
Try it... i hope this can help you.

Kobo Arc Firmware

Is there any word when a method to root and install custom firmwares on the Arc (such like Cyagonmod or something)?
I've tried just about most of the common methods I've found so far, and I've gotten nothing.
The only thing I can think of is the fact that the Arc is suspiciously similar to the Nexus 7, so it would be great if someone with one can look into their root and see if a port can be made for the Arc.
Thank you all!

Okay, I know nobody really replied, but I'm not going to give up yet! I tried to use Bin4ry's "Root Many Android" method, but that would require that my Arc be connected via ADB, which, for some reason won't work. The Arc has no USB drivers, and I had already installed the Android USB drivers via the SDK manager, but when I do ADB devices, nothing shows up. Has anyone else tried to do this?
I'm also interested in this.. when I connect the Kobo to my computer via usb and hold pwr+vol up windows sees a "OMAP4470" device (this is the name of the TI processor I believe). i tried installing the drivers here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2135611 but i can't actually see the device in my device manager.. and also wasn't able to install the hardware manually.. hope that helps

[Q] Could use some help involving missing drivers.

So here's a idiotic move I made while trying to unroot my T Mobile P76920h L9 phone. I tried one thread on here but it wasn't working so great. There was an error I was having so I took that error to Google and found some people who had the same issue. Their solution was something that I believe is what caused my now problem. Their solution was in C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX to delete all that and replace with some exact same files.
Pretty much after that, everytime I plug my cell phone into the my laptop (Win8, Toshiba) my phone isn't recognized in the Device Manager usb ports. I tried downloading drivers and nothing is working. I can't proceed with my original unrooting goal and now I'm at a wall. Please anybody know if there's a solution? I'm thinking just deleting all LG from my laptop and downloading drivers again would be a solution, just have no clue if it is actually.
Thanks
