Evening everyone
Got a BIG problem with my phone today and having searched and read i still cant fix it
Ok a little about my phone: Rooted with amon recovery, recently s/off, CyanogenMod 7 rom and kernel, -32 radio..
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.
Sent from my HTC Desire
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.
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...com/309939/usb-brick-rickrolled-b0rked-fixed/
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
Im experiencing strange reboots now with phone plugged into laptop via usb, and on the status bar on phone it show usb debugging and then dissapears and comes back and when i unplug usb the phone reboots?
I wiped the laptop yesterday and phone seemed fine and now the troubles have come back
In logcat error im also getting this message when i enable bluetooth
attempting to remove unknown iface (usb0), ignoring
bt_enable: Timeout waiting for HCI device to come up
Seems as if the brick has actually fooked my phone up good and proper !
Hey all,
My Incredible won't be recognized by ADB on my Mac through the terminal. I type in "adb devices" and it returns "List of connected devices" but doesn't actually list anything. If I try something like "adb shell" it says "error: no devices connected". What could the issue be?? I have a PC as well and ADB works fine on the PC.
If it helps at all the phone is recognized through fastboot on my Mac but I can't perform any operations... I tried to flash a new recovery through fastboot and when I tried to do "fastboot erase recovery" it returned something like "erase recovery failed status malformed"...
Thanks!
debug turned on? Thought that it needed to be adb
Yeah debug is on.... also in case it didn't go without saying I'm rooted.
Hope someone can help with this!

Thanks for the advice, but I had already followed those directions when installing the SDK. As I said, the phone is recognized just fine on a Windows machine so I can only assume it's some setting that's perhaps incorrect on my Mac? Maybe in System Prefs?
I dunno. It isn't the biggest deal but it'd be nice to be able to use the ADB on my Mac without needing to boot up the PC. Thanks!

Are you positive your path is correct..... and if it is check and make sure there are no spaces or weird characters....
Sent from my Incredible using XDA App
was it working before and it stopped working? I noticed that my Mac doesn't recognized the phone every once in a while with CM7 and the Incredikernel. I have to unplug it and plug it back in couple times to get it to register.

I'm pretty sure it's correct because the Terminal recognizes the "adb" commands as valid. For example, I can run "adb shell" and it returns "error:device not found". So I don't think that's the issue...

The thing is, the computer recognizes the phone just fine. I can plug it in and select "disk drive" and both the phone and SD card mount without an problem. But when I try to run adb commands that's when it doesn't seem to see it for some reason.... I really don't get why this could be, when without changing a single setting on the phone it works fine on a PC. I'm probably missing something obvious, but I don't know what that might be.....

forgive me if im asking a dumb question im just trying to help you narrow down your problem,,,,,, did you check and make sure usb debugging is checked? and if you type adb devices what does it say? ive noticed on the newer sdk that i installed they moved adb to platform tools and out of tools so you might check those things
Yeah, USB debugging is checked... when I type "adb devices" I get "List of devices attached" and it doesn't actually list anything. And yeah, the Terminal is definitely pointing to the right folder, I don't think I'd be getting any sort of response if it was pointing towards the wrong place, right?
ADB definitely works. It just doesn't like my phone for some reason
Well it definitely works on OS X 10.6 that's what my laptop uses. Have you tried parallels or bootcamping into a version of Windows? My work iMac is a piece of dirt and does not like adb thru mac os x but works fine with win xp on parallels.
Yeah, I'm running 10.6 on my laptop as well... right now for when I want to use ADB I've just been running XP on my bootcamp partition, which works fine. It's not the worst solution in the world, but I'd prefer being able to do it on the Mac side of things, which is where I spend far more time.
This is very mysterious....
Sorry, i know you must get this all the time guys, but i'm really struggling with rooting and such.
I'm on 1.72 and have no idea how to downgrade. I know you might say "read the guide" blah blah, but i don't understand it "Moron" i hear you saying. Anyway, Is there a complete noob guide for it anywhere? Like literally one that talks you through every step?
Also, my screen cracked, so i opened it up and replaced the screen myself, didn't have insurance or the £170 to have them fix it. Before the screen cracked it was doing this thing where it looked all psychedelic, Whites have blue coming off them, blacks have reds coming off them, that kind of thing. and its doing it again. This made me think it was a software issue, it happen to anybody else? I was thinking if i put a different rom on it, it'd stop, but i dunno. Anyway, thanks for any help anyone gives.
Does the screen replacement involve the flat ribbon cable between the screen part of the phone and the keyboard? I'm thinking it doesn't, but I'm certainly no expert. A damaged ribbon cable can cause colors to display improperly.
Nah, its attached to the screen so it was a new one.
The screen only comes with a small ribbon cable that connects to the pcb in the front half of the phone.
There is a larger ribbon cable that connects the two halves of the phone together, you can see it if you hold the phone halfway between open and closed. If this cable gets damaged, which happens easier than you may think then it can causes all sorts of things to mess up, including the colours on your display.
Unfortunately this cable is attached to the screen pcb so needs to be replaced as one unit.
So i'd need to replace my main pcb? Damn. Thanks for the help though! Could anyone help me with rooting?!

Just have a search and there are numerous step by step guides, I was a total amateur and managed to do it, I think the hardest part to try learn would be using ABD (command prompt) and how to navigate to directories and push files but there are numerous guides on this forum so just pick your simplest and go for it!

can you use the SD card already in there as a gold card, or do you need a separate one?
Ok so i have an actual problem now, not just not understanding the guides xD
On the Cyanogenmod wiki guide of how to install ADB, a couple of the steps are:
On success, open the command prompt on the computer, and type in the following command to sure everything is setup properly:
Code:
adb devices
If it lists any devices, everything is fine and you are finished. If not, the drivers may not be installed correctly, please continue.
Open the Device Manager.
Right-click on My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista/7).
Click on Manage.
Click on Device Manager on the left.
You will probably see Unknown Device with ADB listed under it with a yellow exclamation mark.
Well i did just that, and it doesnt say unknown device anywhere, and yet when i type adb devices in command prompt, it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Anybody know what gives?

you either need to cd to the folder within your android sdk that adb is in (I think it's platform-tools), or add the android sdk path to your environment variables (google this, it's easy to do).
open up your command prompt and type:
cd C:\path-to-android-sdk\platform-tools
adb devices
if you don't add the path to your android sdk in the environment variables, you'll have to cd to the folder with adb every time you need to use it... not a big deal if you're not using adb a lot, but it gets annoying if you're opening up a command prompt to push/pull/shell regularly.

ok, i've done it, thank you very much! now to just downgrade and root!
Ok so i'm using the XDA wiki guide on rooting, and i've got to the part where you move all the files onto the phone. Specifically, the files that aren't moving are:
$ adb push flash_image /data/local/tmp/
$ adb push su /sdcard/,
I'm getting a "Permission denied" error in command prompt. I also don't have an /sdcard directory on my phone, maybe thats why i'm getting an error?
EDIT: Never mind, i had the phone in Disk Drive mode when it wasn't supposed to be. Sorry for the double post.

It's been working for me. Try uninstalling all HTC/Android-related drivers and reinstalling if you want to be careful.
No. I downloaded the windows aplharevx tool last week then when I seen it was released l couldn't download it cause it was not avail. So I ran the old one and entered the key into the windows program. . Has something to do with the drivers in hboot I think is the reason the windows s-off program is under review

I had the same issue on Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I followed a youtube vid and it worked fine after that. I can't post links yet cause I'm too much of a n00b. So go to youtube and search for a video called: "How to install Android ADB/USB Drivers" by speedy0339. The download link for the 32 bit and 64 bit driver is in the description.
Hope that works for you.

Pop in the Ubuntu Live CD
Boot to it
Select "Try Ubuntu"
When loaded, connect your phone with debugging enabled.
Download the alpharevx package from their site. It went into the Downloads folder by default for me.
Drag it to the desktop
Right click and extract archive (this should make a little "alpharevx" file appear in the Desktop)
Right click on that file and in Properties, copy the file path
Open terminal
Use "cd.." (When I put something in quotes, you type what is in the quotes, not the quotes themselves) then Enter until you are at just the prompt with no path after it. for example.. C:\whatever... do a "cd.." and Enter and it will say just C:
Once you are at just the prompt, type "cd (paste path you copied from file)" and then hit Enter.
You can now type "su ./aplharevx" and hit Enter and it should execute the program. I did not have to type "sudo" only "su"
Make sure when it prompts you to install ClockworkMod, you put a CAPITAL "Y" or it will not install.
That should be it.

Well I fixed the problem just fine with this guide. Make sure you use the microusb cable that came with your G3. A box might pop up and say connection to server failed.....Try again in a moment, just move this box aside and let the program do its magic. Worked like a charm!!! Saved me fifty bucks on buying a new one.
