read the whole thread about rooting over at modaco

ive done a search and can't find anything!

Do you have HTC Sync installed? I think you have a driver issue there. Also try unplugging the usb lead and trying another port on your pc. If all else fails, the red triangle is a safe place to just remove the battery and start again.

Firstly you should install HTC Sync on your PC and ensure that you have USB drivers loaded for your android device. The correct drivers should be in the C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x86 folder.
Once that is established, remove and reinsert the USB cable a few times to make sure the driver is loaded and active. Then run the recovery-windows.bat from the cmd box.
then you will get the screen on your phone, using the optical trackpad select wipe, then flash from SD card. Then you are good to go.
I did this yesterday and ran into the same issues as you.
BTW I base this on using Windows 7 32bit.

thanks a lot mate, i pulled the battery out and im back to normal.
yeh i think its a htc sync issue too. I have htc sync installed, but after i did step 1 (or 2 i cant remember) the computer came up with the install new hardware wizard

Better doing it via the TinyCore linux method - Windows method doesn't work properly (for me anyway). Recovery in Windows is fine, though

If you know how to burn a cd you could go over to modaco and there is a thread by craigcrawford about rooting using the r3 method.. basically if you follow that you will have linux running from the disc and all the files needed are on it also. I've never used linux before and found it really easy. That way you won't run into any driver issues.
Just be careful, take your time and always remember that there are now over 60 confirmed handsets that are usb bricked!
Good luck

Yeah I think this is where I am having the problem. When I connect my phone to my pc it has the popup saying android phone connected, but HTC Sync still says "disconnected"
I'll try some stuff.

Also just try a simple reboot of your pc to stop any old adb stuff running and it might help clear any driver issues.
Sorry if this seems like an obvious thing to try, but sometimes the obvious stuff is what catches us out

Make sure when you boot the phone up into recovery that you leave the USB cable disconnected and only reconnect once the red triangle appears.
I find if I leave it in, when it starts to boot on the HTC screen Windows goes a bit funny and fails to install the driver.

Device not recognized

"USB Device Not Recognized"
I have searched for so long trying to figure out what's wrong. I'm out of idea's on how to fix it, nothing will recognize my Evo.
Tried on 4 different computers, two of them running 7, one running xp, and last running vista, all say the same thing, computers not the problem.
Downloaded htc sync, disabled/enabled usb debugging, restarted the phone many times, restarted computers, and even changed the default usb connection to HDD and HTC sync.
I rooted using the idiot proof guide and used the Sprint Rom he linked in the guide. Would love some help. Thanks!
Try downloading the auto sync app in market
And let me know what happens.

Just tried that and still not recognizing it.
Which HTC Sync did you try? I think the latest is 2.0.40
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
set the EVO connection type to HTC SYNC and USB DEBUGGING ENABLED.
Assuming you've used ADB, what response you you get from
ADB DEVICES at the command prompt?
you should get something like
C:\>adb devices
adb server is out of date
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT05EHL10353 device
and we will know you have a good physical connection to the computers. If it doesnt show up, try a different USB cable....

Thanks for the help! I checked for my device in ADB and it does not list it, so i guess my cable is probably bad. I'll go out and buy another and hopefully that fixes the problem.

When i connect my phone in recovery mode, it still just says device not recognized, so i can't really do that.
Sorry but bump, i relly need help with this.
It still says unknown device when i try to connect my phone in recovery mode.
Go into your computers device manager and uninstall the device and htc sync, then reinstall sync and make sure usb debugging is on then plug it in
Edit: sorry, go into the device manager with it plugged in. if its not there (should be a yellow or red triangle next to it or neat the to as a HID) them it could be your cable or phones port.

I think you need to pay closer attention to the guide, because this statement makes no sense in reference to the guide.
The guide is helping you install ADB drivers, you don't need to do anything in ADB while your phone is in recovery in that guide.
Could be wrong, but I'm still fairly certain that the guide will fix your issue, because I had the same problem.
It's as simple as you do not have the correct, or any ADB drivers, therefore your phone is not showing up as a device under ADB. Once you have the proper drivers installed, your device will show up.

I followed the simple guide step by step.
When i boot into recovery mode i end up with this in the picture.
His recovery mode shows an Evo with a little exclamation mark next to it, i'm guessing what i got is still recovery mode. But still if i plug my phone in my computer still says unknown device, so i can't install ADB drivers.

You just have a different recovery. Once you are in recovery, you don't need to do anything else on your phone specifically.
Instead, connect your phone to your PC via USB if it isn't already and open up device manager on your PC and follow the rest of the guide.
Edit: Where does it say unknown device? In Device Manager?

It shows up in usb controllers instead of other devices as he shows in the guide. If i try to update the driver it just tells me it's already up to date.
>Sorry yea it does say unknown device in device manager.
Gotta bump, would really love to just fix this instead of driving 30 mins to a sprint store.
So i followed the guide for installing apb drivers, but even in recovery mode my phone still shows up as unknown device in device manager.
Ok, well I just ran into this myself on my secondary computer. Have you tried a different USB port on your PC?
My front ones were giving me unknown device, but as soon as I plugged it into one of the ports on the back of the mobo ADB showed right up in device manager.
Factory reset it and get it exchanged.I belief is the SD card failure issue.

I have the same problem and posted this question on 3 forums including the HTC support forum and nobody has been able to find the correct solution.
I know the cable and the port is good because I can connect my Samsung Moment to it and it works perfectly. On the Evo, I've downloaded the latest HTC Sync from the official HTC site, tried the one on the microsd card, checked and un-checked USB debugging, and still it doesn't connect.
The Evo won't connect to my Win 7 computer at home, Win XP at work, but it will connect to my daughters computer which is running Win XP also (all 32 bit).
I bought this Evo from Best Buy exactly 28 days ago today. Do they give you 30 days to return it, or is that only the Sprint store?
They do give u 30 day trial.go get it exchanged or...........

Right here is the problem...
Did a nandroid backup in recovery of the rom i was using ^^ and all seemed fine, i then rebooted my phone,, booted up, waited for everything to work and then i noticed my apps weren't there?
Went into storage and it showed no memory card,, so i rebooted phone hoping this might fix but it didn't.
Plugged my phone into laptop and a message flashed up "usb device not recongnised" i though Sh!t whats happened ?
So i booted my phone into recovery to mount the sd and a message again "error cant mount sd"
Clicked reboot phone and now its stuck on the "why so serious" screen ???????
Ive dloaded the sdk tool but really not sure what i should be typing in there ??
Anyone with a little time care to help me out please lol ???
Cheers
EDIT: I have flashed nearly every rom on xda since i rooted about 4 months ago without any problems, always did the wipes in recovery before flashing so really dont know what has happened here ?

Looks like you have been usb bricked, look this forum for usb brick fix, its not the fault of the rom, it just sometimes happens. Got it once too, easely to fix.

Im not blaming the rom not one bit as its been running fine this morning up untill i did the backup.
I have read and read that much my heads spinning %-( there's hek of a lot to take in and being a rather noooooob im lost as to what i should do
Worstenbrood is right, that's.just a USB brick, don't worry, it's an easy fix. Search Modaco for USB rickrolled.

You can skip step one.
Not to worry ? im bricking it lmao
I really aint got a clue about the fastboot thingy if you have a little time could you give me a step by step of how its done
cheers
Download the SDK and then use the command prompt to run the fastboot command from the Modaco tutorial.
There are quite a few guides for fastboot, just Google it
Hi
I just ran the command and when entered it said fastboot not found?
You need to run it from the directory containing fastboot.executive (in the SDK).
thanks for the replies
i have tried that but im getting 'adbwinapi.dll is missing from your computer'
i have re-installed sdk and still wont work?
Did you do this
Windows XP / Vista
Right click on the My Computer icon and select the properties tab.
Select the Advanced tab and click the Environment Variables button.
In the new dialog box dowble-click on Path (located under System Variables) and type in the full path location to the tools directory.
Has to be done for it to work
If you have never used sdk before Google for a good install & how to use guide
whooohoooo right solved the sd problem, new rom flashed and powered up Many Thanks guys "but" i still cant use the usb on laptop ?
When i plug usb in it the phone only charges ? and an usb not recognised message ?
did u install the htc drivers from the htc website? i was having problems with connecting my phone dowloaded those and un-installed sync and all was fixed!
i get 'usb not recognised message' every now and then on my home pc and the works pc both running Windows 7 64bit.
I found that usually when it pops up about
'usb not recognised message'
i just unplug the cable then back in a few seconds after the message then it usually connects ok. sometimes it takes a few attempts.
thats with 'HTC Wildfire_setup_3.0.5481' installed for the 64bit drivers.
Thanks very much guys for all your help managed to get the usb fixed by installing htc sync
But now i have another problem i noticed today is Bluetooth wont turn on ? is there a fix out there for this ?
cheers

[Q]Hboot stuck on "Checking SD card update..."

Anyone got any idea why this might be happening?
One remark in the Revolution HD ROM thread suggested starting again from scratch (re-locking) - I hope that's excessive...
Do you think it's because of the amount of data on my SD? or perhaps I should remove a file it's getting caught up on?
[Fixed]
Either by unplugging the AC charger, or deleting a bundle of large, non-flashable .zip files on my SD card.
just had the same prob and thought i had bricked it...did a google and found your post unplugged it from the wall charger and it carried on loading...phew!

USB Powered problem?
Looks like the problem is not FIXED for me. I'm still stuck at the HBOOT checking SD card update screen while attempting to root the device. I just got the phone today and followed all instructions to successfully unlock the bootloader. Now this thing is driving me crazy. I read on another thread that the USB charging might contribute to this problem, but I really don't know how to fix this. The SD storage is at default state. I only copied the SuperSU zip file while following the instructions. Please help.
PS: I noticed that the phone is not fully charged. It is somewhere below 50% power. Could this be the case?
Do you flash the custom recovery after successfully unlock the bootloader ?
I couldn't even get into FASTBOOT to type in the necessary commands. It's just stuck there at HBOOT Checking SD Update...Unplugging and replugging the USB cable got me in with FASTBOOT USB, but then the FLASH RECOVERY IMG command prompt execution just got stuck at waiting for device. So no recovery whatsoever at this stage.

Yes. I used those to unlock the bootloader. And if HTC Sync is the problem, I wouldn't be surprised. It doesn't detect the phone when it is plugged in . Even the installation was troublesome. I had to set to Windows XP compatibility to install it on Win8 CP 64bit

So you do have "My Htc" under Android USB Devices when checking the Device Manager in your PC, maybe uninstall and reinstall HTC Sync will help ?
Uhm no. I don't have anything that's called My HTC or Android and the like in my device manager . Don't know why but I got through the bootloader unlocking process by following the HTCDev instructions
Then download the Htc Sync and install it as it will install the required driver. You can uninstall the htc sync but leave the driver.
Give it a try and see how it goes.
Uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync a dozen times, still no luck. I highly suspect the drivers are incompatible with Windows 8 x64 at the moment. Like I said, the installation requires WinXP compatibility mode, otherwise the installer gave me the 'administration privileges' error, even though it was 'run as administrator' already . HTC Sync itself didn't detect my phone at all when it was plugged in. Better wait for HTC Sync Manager then
I just updated the HTC sync from the link above and the installation went smoothly. The different is I'm on Windows 8 32 bit. I remember that Htc Sync is working fine for my other laptop which was on windows 8 x64 but unable to test it now as I reverted to windows 7.
Strange. The link you provided clearly said the latest version was 3.2.20. But when I pressed download, the exe file said 3.2.10? Perhaps they forgot to update their download server? Damn. I had high hope with the One X. But looks like I'll stick with the iPhone a bit longer, until HTC sorts things out.

[Q] Code 43

I recently broke my HOX+ and got a GNex for my replacement. Whenever I try to connect it, using another cable (Nexus 7) because its stock cable did not come with the phone (used) I get that pop up which says "Unable to recognize device" or sometimes an error. Though on all events, I get something called Error 43.
Anyone know how to fix this? Ive tried fixing to usb port. It is all stock. I just want to connect so I can root this thing.

One thing you may want to try if you havent yet:

Is this a used or new replacement?

Unfortunately, the device appears as Unknown Device. It was my Uncles and it was able to work for him. So it bothers me how its not for me.

Did he by chance have it rooted prior to the ownership change?
Is the result replicated in other computers? If you haven't tried, do so. That way you can eliminate either your PC or the GNex as the culprit.

He was stock at all times.

Wierd. Did you try a reset through the stock recovery or just defaults from the security menu?
Here's what I've done. I've pulled my drivers and compressed them. Update the "Unknown Device" from the Device Manager by pointing it to the extracted DLL's and see if that will work.

Pushing them? Sorry for my poor explanation. Those files you downloaded are my working drivers that I managed to pull from:
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\UMDF
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\
C:\Windows\system32\
All you have to do is press START -> Type "Device Manager" -> Select the "Unknown Device" -> Press "Update Driver" -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> Hit "Browse" and point to the folder were the DLL's are located in your computer (Once you have decompressed the archive of course)

Honestly, I'm stumped. The drivers should have installed correctly regardless. This leads me to believe that its the GN acting up. Again, when you did a reset on it; Did you do it from the Security Submenu or from the Stock Recovery?
Is the device recognized under fastboot? ADB usually works fine there.

Also try a factory reset via Stock Recovery. You should find it under the Fastboot menu

Wow, I'm truly amazed how nothing seemed to work. I don't think 1-Click Temp-Root Methods work on the GN, in which case you would use the terminal to Perm-Root it.
This happens on all computers?
Tried Different USB ports?
Rebooting PC?

I will try getting a new USB, maybe a stock if I can find and see if that works. Wish I could root without a USB...Thank You for your help. I will update if anything.

Broken Screen/Digitizer need backup

Dropped phone, broken screen/digitizer, doesn't respond to touch
Was able to see the screen a bit yesterday but now its almost all black. I mainly just need my photos off it. Tried an RMA to replace the screen but they said they had to wipe everything first
Is there any way I can pull the photos off it? I haven't tried an otg yet, but I also can't see the screen, so im not sure it would help
Is there a screen sharing program I could get w/o first installing it on my phone?
I think my phone may be rooted, i forget if i ever did, but i dont have TWRP installed on it? (i dont super know what that is but i see other people talking about it)
Any thoughts on how to pull photos off it? I tried the adb devices but the cmd prompt doesn't seem to recognize the phone
Im quite sure I have debugging enabled, just coudln't get the file transfer button hit
Adb pull command should work, but you need to sort the drivers first (I'm guessing that's the issue).

Sorry, can't give definite answer, I know that I had an issue with drivers (device wasn't properly recognized) and tried pretty much everything that Google suggested ... Until it finally started working. I have no idea exactly what solved the issue, it was over a year and a half ago. The next time I clean installed Windows (10 in both cases) it was smart enough to automatically find right drivers.
So ... I'm guessing Googling something like "OnePlus 3 Windows # drivers" should find something useful?
About image verification: are you talking about anti-bot system that checks if you're human? Wouldn't know much about that, never personally had issues with it, but also very rarely see it on XDA as I'm nearly always checking this forum in Tapatalk app.

If you had earlier connected your phone to the PC and authorised the PC connection on your phone, then it is a simple issue of disabling driver signature verification on Win 10 and installing the OnePlus drivers on it. Search for and download the correct drivers to your PC. Hold down Shift key and restart the PC. Choose Troubeshoot>Advanced Options>Startup Options and click Restart. On restarting, there will be a list of options. Choose 7 in the Options or click F7 on your keyboard and you will boot into the disabled mode. Now connect your phone and go to Device Manager in PC. Choose the phone which may be showing up as Unknown or with an yellow flag and right click and choose Update Driver. Navigate to the downloaded driver and install it. Now your phone should be properly recognised. Use adb pull command to copy whatever files you need to. Note that this driver signature verification disabling is temporary and when you restart the PC in the normal way, the PC will go back to the normal mode. But the installed drivers will still function.
Hope this helps.

Oh wow, do you know if this works on Win7? And also I can't see my screen at all, so could I do adb pull of entire folder or hardrive kind of thing? I mainly just want phots, but i've never done adb stuff so not sure how it works
Had the same issue with my Lenovo P2. Only i didn't have debugging enabled. If you have, screen mirroring should be an easy solution. You could just see ur phone screen on ur computer that way. What helped me was to forceboot the phone to recovery with the hardware buttons, then connect it to ur pc. TWRP will automatically launch MTP. When u backed up evrything, you can wipe ur device through adb

I don't know about Win 7. It will work on Win 10. Most likely, this should not be needed in Win 7 at all as the drivers should install whether signed or not.
Regarding copying data, a simple command of "adb pull /sdcard" will copy all the folders, files, data etc to your PC. You can also specify where you want the data copied to, simply add the path to the command above. This will work whether your screen works or not. Of course, there are other methods of copying data, you can search for it if you need it.
