Xda Exec Major Problems

PLEASE HELP ME
I tried to upgrade my xda exec rom from the O2 updates website, the process went smoothly until my pc told me to do the cold reboot on the phone. However after doing this reboot my screen looks like it has crashed and just a coloured mess fills the screen. my pc cannot see the phone now. is it possible to put the original software on the rom and if so how do i do it?
PLEASE HELP, ANYONE.... I feel like O2 have given dodgy info on their downloads

I have a same problem like u. I try to upgrade rom to version v1.30.162 on http://www.my-xda.com/xdaExecSoftware.jsp, but afer that my exec stuck on bootloader and can't recognize USB port only serial port. And i try to send back my exec to O2 and ask what happen to my phone, customer service said that i upgrade using uncompatible ROM for Exec, but i think i use an original ROM from O2.

Put the device into bootloader by pressing and holding the backlight key, power key and reset button at the same time for 3 seconds. If you see serial in the display, hook it up to the PC. The display will change to read usb. Windows will whinge and ***** that the usb device is not recognised, ignore this, it is normal. Take this opportunity to flash a decent ROM, not the crap standard ones. If you do want to use a standard ROM, download them from the FTP. I have downloaded corrupt ROMs from O2 in the past.
@Willows, try using a different USB port, sounds daft but happened quite often on the Alpine. You never know......

Just to add to Pug's answer. If your next question is how to upgrade, follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118

I did what you said and my phone is up and running again, however I have a new problem now.
I have TomTom 5 on my xda exec with an BT GPS Bluetooth sat ariel. Before hand the device worked perfectly but now TomTom cannot see the device, I have re-installed all the software and set up my Com ports and enabled Bluetooth.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Just re-flash it, it's the only way to be sure:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/Shipped_ROMs/Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe
Make a backup of your contacts first though.....
EDIT:
Forgot to mention, when using BT GPS, do not set up the COM ports with secure connections, the UNI doesn't like it.

Still no joy

I have re-flashed again and installed tomtom 5 but still can't get the xda to communicate with the BT GPS FGPXBT02 the bluetooth is connected and the com ports set up with no security but tomtom still reports no GPS device found. Could anythin else be wrong?

Tom Tom 5 will not work under WM5. Go to ToTom site, and there is a 5.2 upgrade, which works fine

Sprint Vogue - Upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5 and no internet or GPS

I used all of the step by steps on your site (xda) unlocked the phone, unplugged the cable when it told me to. I even ran the rom 3 times like someone suggested. Did the hard reset, and loaded the sprint cab file.
I get internet when plugged into my computer via usb cable. I love 6.5 but if I cant use the internet while away from a pc I cant use it. A have already gone back to 6.1 where everything is working. Please help me...

Which 6.5 rom are you using? If it's NFSFAN's, did you try his spring internet&gps posted in his thread? What sprint cab did you use? DCD's?

I had the same thing happen to me when I upgraded to 6.5 on my Sprint Touch (I also flashed the ROM 3 times). I ended up going back to 6.1 (everything works), re-upgrading to 6.5 (internet still didn't work), back to 6.1 and finally upgraded to 6.5 (everything works). Regarding the internet, make sure that your "Current username" in Device Information is [your sprint.com username]@sprintpcs.com. I think that was my problem... I only casually checked the GPS, so I am not sure when it worked and when it didn't, but it's working now. Good luck

I think mine was configured automatically by Sprint when I was using the stock 6.1 ROM. If I am wrong about that (I tried so many different things), I must have edited "User Name" in the DATA [3282] phone code.

ok i am still dead in the water on this. i checked with sprint and they told me to go to start-settings-personal-phone and then under settings should be an internet or network option to which i should be able to hit the "get settings" button and it should be ok, however internet isn't even there and nothing ele seems to fix it? anyone?

Yeah, those options aren't in 6.5. Have you tried going back to 6.1 and checking the internet? HTC has the ROMs posted on their support pages (e.g. this is the Sprint one)

I had the same issue. Flashed what seems to be a billion times.
Now I'm just running a bare 6.1 stock rom and running android on it for a much, much better OS. 6.5 is amazing and all, but it still can't hold a candle to android. Next I need to try Hero, as I'm running cupcake.

When you flash back to 6.1 run the IOTA (provisions) under the settings to make your internet works. then when you flash to 6.5 you shouldn't need to run the provision or gps cabs. this has worked for me every time. so just make sure your internet works on whatever rom you are using before 6.5...

The data [3282] keeps asking me for a password, ? Just need to change the user name so sprint tv will work.

Need help! I have "Sync" and "Wifi" problem :(

I have 2 laptop. I can sync my BA with one of them (via USB) easily without any problem. Since that laptop is broken I have to use the other one.
This time, when I connect BA, I can't connect to wifi network by the laptop (it's connected and then drop and then connected, continuously). I have to remove BA and do a reset to get wifi connection back
Please help me Can't stand this anymore

I had this happen to me before and never found any solution aside from reinstalling Windows. I had tried flashing roms, reinstalling ActiveSync, but nothing worked. I wish I could give you a better solution, but unfortunately... I don't have one (disable calls/mms while connected and disable tethering to the device sometimes seemed to work but not for long)

Thanks , but the built-in DVD-Drive is broken, and my laptop is so old that it does not support booting from USB device I did use recovery option to bring it to the original state but the problem is still there. I think the problem is in the OEM installation but I do not know where to fix.

You could try to uninstall the device and reinstall it (via hardware manager) since I am still convinced that it is a driver issue... but at this point... I am not sure what else to tell you.

Thanks, I'll try, not really clear what you mean by uninstall the device but I'm sure that I'll figure it out. I also think that it is driver issue (not compatible with each other?) but, anyway, I've never been good at understanding the driver stuffs (why should similar devices need different drivers? why don't they just create a (or some) standard controlling method(s)?)

My phone isnt recognized by my computer anymore

Hello,
i've got a problem like the title says. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer via usb, i get the message the device wasnt recognized by the computer. i tried everything i know, another usbport. etc. i want to install a new radio, but without connecting to the computer it isnt possible, because i dont have the usb debugging active.
i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.

Are you using Windoze?
If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.

thanks for the quick answer.
i tried it, but it didnt help. where is this application data folder? do you mean on the computer? i found after uninstalling no more folders from htc.
and yes i use windows home premium 64bit.
got another idea? now it says also the device does not function properly. i hope that nothing on the device is broken.

yes he is talking about your computer... if in the "program files" you hasn´t anythink about HTC SYNC,, ALL IS OK...
but enssure that in the configuration panel-system-dispositive administrator you hasn´t any drive installed for your android device... if you have installed it, erase or uninstall it before re-install htc sync or the htc drivers....then you can re-install and reboot windoux...
and hey buddy!I recommend to you to consider to pass to linux, you will not have this type of mistakes... LOL
UBUNTU is great!

I'm afraid I don't know much about Windoze but memory serving appication data is a hidden folder so you will need to change it to view them and is in the Documents and Settings / [Your username] directory.
Device not function is just a default Windoze error when it can't install something, ignore it, your phone is fine.
If you have reinstalled HTC Sync, try a USB port on the opposite side of the PC. So if you trying ones next to each other on the front, try ones on the back (they use different headers on the motherboard).
If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I probably won't be of much more use, sorry.

thanks guys for your help, but although i followed your advices, except the one to switch to linux ;-), it hasnt got better yet. the problem is still exsisting and i dont know what else i can do.
anyone got an idea how to install radio without having usb debugging and the drivers from the computer?

Hi!
I've got the same problem with 2 different PCs, one with Win7 64-bit, the other with Win XP PRO.
Other devices work fine with the same USB ports, so i doubt it's windows or the PC...

you can´t flash any radio if your phone is not recognized
well.. Let's continue with the problem in question...
1.At some time could you have connected it?with the stock rom maybe?
2.have you tried to swich on mass storage usb mode?what´s the result?
3.when you tries to swich the phone for flash some radio you enables "usb debug"
and "only chargue"?
its a weird problem

Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.

1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

you´re welcome companion
i reded in a spanish forum ( www.htcmania.es ) about your problem and there´s people that had the same problem with a S.GALAXY S & desire HD...
someone was solved it fullwiping and formating (in the paragraph of mounts & storage into CWM) and flashing another ROM... then they formatted their sd card with a card reader OF THE PC... later they was formatted the sd card from the pc and the problem was disapeared successfully...
BUT if it persists i think that you should (mi suggestion) send your machine to the thecnical service....

ok, will try this today evening when i'm home. if this doesnt work i will reset it in the orginial state and send it to the technical support. i will leave a comment if i was successful, perhaps this will help others with the same problem.

[Q] Problem connecting to PC's

Hi guys, I can no longer connect my phone to a PC.
I've tried two different machines with no job.
I've also tried two different usb cables with no joy
I have upgraded to Leeroids Rom
USB debug is enabled.
The phone is charging when plugged in.
HTC Sync is installed, but I can't use as a disk drive or anything.
When I plugged it into this laptop for the first time, it installed all of the drivers but said
"Android phone - no driver found". So installed HTC sync which said it was installing the usb driver.
I'm totally trumped as device manager seems to think it's connected, but i'm not getting anywhere.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Andy

have you tried with the USB Debug Disabled

Aha, just tried that and it made the PC install new drivers. But still no pop up on the device asking what I want to do. And HTC sync still doesn't find a device.

What rom are you using? I try going to setting connect to pc and un-check ask me every time I connect then set which ever you want as default after you set it up connect to the pc

I'm on Leedroid version 4, which is a very nice rom indeed!

I was on rcmix I had this problem so try the method above n. See if it works

Cheers mate,
I've tried every option in the list, and restarted both the desire Hd and the laptop.
No result yet

You have to mount the SD.
Sorry I don't know your rom (I'm with MIUI) but just connected the SD the phone is not as a "USB key".
Look in the setting to put your phone in "mass storage" or something like this.
Sure someone with a sense ROM can explain it.
Edit: if you have done the above:
Disconnect the usb from the phone, blow hard on the phone usb connector. It could be just some dust in it
Often happen to me... I mean to my phone!

I have both this ROM and this problem. Has it been sorted yet?

Just flash a new kernel.
LeeDroid v4 ROM's packaged kernel had this problem of not detecting the USB connection. Try any other Sense kernel like LordMod's, Unity, RCMix or whichever one gets you better performance.
