Posting this on both manufacturers’ website, and on here. Not sure if it's a phone issue or an issue with the computer, though I have a feeling it's a computer issue. Anyway, I have an HTC Touch though Alltel. I downloaded the update program from HTC's website for my Phone and Carrier. When the program runs, it goes though all it's normal process, I have to click several check boxes, and finally the update beings and the progress bars is shown on the comp screen, and at the same time the phone enters the bootloader (The screen with the 3~4 colored bars). At this time, you hear the computer ding twice, like it detected a USB device being removed and then reconnected. After a few moments it dings again, this time signifying that the connected device cannot be recognized. After about a minute or two, the update program gives an error. I believe it was "ERROR [260] : CONNECTION"
I've tried everything I can think of to get it to work. I've tried unplugging and replugging it. Tried starting after manually putting it in the bootloader. Tried different USB cables. Tried it with the options for "Advanced Network Connectivity" in the connections section checked and unchecked. No matter how I try it, Vista is never able to retain the connection with the phone once it goes into the bootloader. I've even tried allowing Vista to locate Driver software, but it always searches for like 5 minutes, and always says it couldn’t find anything.
Any ideas?
PS: I did try some of the options posted around to basically 'jail break' the phone so could install via SD card, however I encounted the same error. And, honestly, I would rather apply the update without having to hack the phone 1st...

i was running the 2.31 version of the rom updater utility by coke man to install a 6.1 rom. It didnt get past the 0% on the installation screen when it told me i had an update error and a soft reset would fix it. it didnt fix it and did the same thing next time. now my phone wont connect with the pc or with activesync so im pretty frustrated right now. it charges it via usb but my pc cannot find the phone device itself. also when i plug the phone into the usb cord, i hear a messed up connection sound. you know when you plug in a usb cord to a pc you hear that "do do" with the second "do" at a slightly higher pitch? when i plug mine in now it sounds like it plays the first "do" twice and then nothing happens if that at all makes sense...

1) Can you get back to the boot loader screen. Push power/Camera and reset at the same time.
2) If you can get the bootloader screen what does it say? If it says 2.31 then leave it as is and load whatever rom you want.
3) If it doesn'r say 2.31 then re run icecokemans unlocker again
i cant even establish a connection to do that with the pc. Each time i tried the program before it stopped working, it would stay on 0 with an error code that said a soft reset would fix the problem. But it wouldnt and would get stuck at the same place next time
The sound you're hearing is a driver installation error, maybe start by reinstalling active-sync?
or at least open device manager and see if "Generic RNDIS" is there, that would mean you dont have neccecary drivers and need to download ActiveSync for XP or Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista.
hope that help
reinstallin it fixed it. i really do appreciate the help though. i got the answer i needed within the day i asked where as i still have no helpful responses at any of the other places i asked. thanks
Hi People!
My Orange M600 froze while trying to start TCPMP. After rebooting, the device shows the "Orange" screen, then the "Windows Mobile" screen as normal. It never reaches the PIN number screen. However, the status bar *does* appear, showing no network, battery full, sound on. The device does not respond to button pushes or screen taps.
Behaviour is identical with or without SIM card, with or without SD card.
Connected to USB, I can still access the file-system and, using the developer remote tools, see a lists of running processes, the registry, etc.
Prior to the fail, the device complained of low storage. I've deleted some files (via USB), but the device still fails to start correctly.
This device has not been flashed, and has worked fine for 18 months. Annoyingly, it *almost* works fine now, except for the inconvenient lack of a user interface...
I guess the last resort is to flash it... anything I should try before I do that?
Cheers,
Graham.
did you try a hard reset?
I was trying to avoid anything that would wipe the thing, but I guess I have to bite the bullet. At least a hard reset would be cleaner than a flash.
Cheers!
Graham.
Hi Guys, hopefully someone can help me here it is driving me crazy - well, here is my issue.
Doesnt matter what PC I plug my HD into it doesnt get picked up, i looked in device manager and still nothing. Its like its not connected, but it shows on the phone that it is charging. And does charge.
Can someone please help?
Thanks!
Settings - Connection - USB to PC - uncheck 'enable advanced network functionality'
All that was there is ' Enable faster data synchronization '
No advanced network functionality. Im on Telstra NextG Network Australia with there crappy stock rom if that helps.
I'm looking at a stock Touch HD and you're right- they changed the name of the box. So uncheck 'enable faster data synchronization'.
I did but it is still not working.
I have also done a hard reset and restore to manufacturers default and still not working.
What kind of PC are you using? Is it XP? If so you need to download ActiveSync.
Using XP.. I have downloaded and installed Activesync. It used to be picked up on every pc and suddenly now it doesnt.
Opened Activesync ports in your firewall settings?
Yeah its all fine, its as though the PC doesnt even recognise it. Doesnt show up in Disk Management.
hi lucky
you're already the 3rd one with this problem.
if you plug-in the usb connector, is there a dialog popping up on your hd which let's you choose between synch or hd mode?
if not, welcome to the group of disapointed htc owners.
there is already a thread somewhere about this problem. i have exactly the same, but no one could help me until now.
at least i found a way to flash a rom. the usb connection was working for about 20 minutes. afterwards it broke down again...
try the following:
1. shut down hd
2. remove SD and Sim Card
3. plug in the usb cable
4. do a hard reset by holding vol up and vol down while you press the power button
5. confirm the hardware reset
6. when the hd is booting up again, it will do some kind of customization process. during this process active sync should come up on your pc. cancel the device setup in acive sync and wait until your hd is completely configured.
7. afterwards reconnect the usb cable and active sync should work for a while...
let me know if it helped. i'm still searching for a permanent solution for this problem...
Nope, didnt work at all.
Not even the choice to decide what I want to do pops up on the phone.
Do you think it could be a hardware fault?
I think it is a hardware fault because i did a SPL boot and instead of 'USB' showing in the white box "Serial" did.
It just seems wierd because it was working fine for 2 weeks and then it all the sudden stopped and I did no ROM flashing or anything.
Should I try reflashing my device through the SD card and see how I go from there?
did you try a different cable???
I have about 20 different USB -> mini USB and only about 2/3 of them work with phones !!!
Yeah ive tried all different cables, ive tried ones that work with my diamond but still dosent work with my hd.

Are you getting anything popping up in device manager when you plug it in, in other words does the list refresh like it has detected a new hardware device or is it completely silent? I have seen it a couple of times where a device gets stuck as being recognized as something else. If the list does scroll (responds to the HD being plugged in) do a screen shot of everything in DM then plug the HD in and compare the lists to see if it is showing up as something else. If so, delete the device then unplug and plug in the HD again and have it reinstall the driver.
Good luck,
Gordo
I did what you said Gordo, and it doesnt show up inDevice Manager. Its as though its not even plugged in but for some reason it still recharges off the USB.
I guess about the only other thing I can think of is to plug it in on another PC and see if that computer tries to load a driver. If it does then it is something strange with your computer. If it doesn't then there is something bad with the USB port on the HD (maybe).
Gordo
Yeah I tried that but still nothing, im sending it back to Telstra, since its within 14 days of me getting it I get a whole brand new one!
thanks for your help guys
Hi, I have a pretty new windows laptop, and last week it was working fine, you plug in the phone and it gives you an option on the connection method.
This week however, it stopped working I plug in the phone, it shows that it vibrates, shows the little popup cable down the bottom and charges, but even though "ask upon connecting" is ticked - there are no longer any connection options popping up, and no response from the computer.
I have tried reinstalling the LG drivers on the laptop, and soft reset the phone, reboot the laptop. No love.
I looked in device manager but I can't see it there, and don't know what I am looking for.
Any help would be appreciated short of reinstalling windows. Tempted to install a ROM but waiting for a good one with the new G3 Flat UI to come out soon.
Perhaps try uninstalling the driver for G2 in device manager. My surface recognizes mine in 8.1, so your issue is fixable.
Sent from my LG-D802
Look for an unidentified device in Device Manager perhaps. It'll have a yellow triangle sign on it. Then right click, properties, driver, update driver, browse locally, and select the G2 driver.
Hi all,
I'm shocked to see how prone the Galaxy S4 is to screen cracking! 80-90% on googling "samsung cracked screen" or similar yields results about the S4. Wow..
Anyway, I'm not here to ask how to recover my data if my phone is pattern locked. I'd like to ask for some help in figuring out the weird behavior.
So, phone is/was locked with pattern, it's not registered with Samsung Find My Phone, digitizer+lcd are broken, USB Debugging is disabled. If I boot it up, the phone vibrates and I hear the samsung boot tune, and the LED briefly lights up. Also the menu buttons briefly light up. If I call myself, the phone rings and vibrates.
If I use the volume up / volume down buttons, the phone beeps for either of them but volume stays the same (seems like max volume).
If I connect the phone to my laptop, phone beeps and laptop tries to install a driver for "MTP USB Device", but it fails. Device Manager status is "The device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Kies does not recognize the phone, saying "This device is not supported by Kies. Make sure that your device is supported and try again".
Question is, is it possible something else got damaged when the phone 'involuntarily' hit the ground? It should've just got recognized by the laptop, and Kies should have reported I need to enter the pattern to unlock it (at least that's what it does for my S3 mini), no?
Would the digitizer/lcd not working affect something else within its OS?
I tried connecting my S3 mini's lcd to the S4, but the connectors don't match...duh.
anyone?

Maybe when I dropped it damaged the micro USB port as well, you could try a different pc first.
If another pc works try installing twrp recovery with odin then booting into the recovery, because it allows you to make file transfers when it's plugged into the pc
Reinstall the drivers. It's clearly a driver problem.
I've already tried it on a different computer and it does the same.
There is no driver to reinstall, it automatically installs it when I connect the phone.
I'm thinking it's due to the pattern lock. Can anyone with an S4 connect it to a computer and leave it locked. Does it try to install driver for "MTP USB Device"?
