Unable to use USB - unless in fastboot - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi guys!
I have a weird USB problem on my Vodafone HTC Magic. I can't use it as a mass storage device when I connect it to my laptop. When I connect it to a windows machine, it just give some error saying that the installation of the device has failed and nothing from there.
While connecting it to a Linux machine, nothing happens, nothing is mounted, and no new device is created. Also, lots of errors shows up on syslog...
I can not also use the adb tool to communicate with the phone, since it doesn't find the phone...
I though it could be an hardware problem, but the weirdest thing is that I can access the phone using the fastboot method with no problem, I have already changed the bootsplash image using the fastboot to check if it was really working, so, I guess its not na hardware problem.
The phone had the 1.33.0007 original SPL, now is with the eng 1.33.2005 SPL and running the latest CyanogenMod. I have tried tons of roms, but the problem persists in every rom I tried...
Does any one has a problem like this one?
Is there anything I can flash to put the phone completely stock, just as it came of the factory? I now that the roms that we flash, usually are missing some things, like the Radio and some other stuffs... Maybe those some other stuffs are some what "crazy" and need to me flashed again.
Note: I can not get the phone to warranty since I have no the receipt of buying the phone...
I will appreciate any answer

Did you install SDK and install the appropriate USB drivers? Sounds like that could be your problem.

Yeah, I did installed the sdk...
Also, I tried a friends HTC Magic on my linux machine with the same cable, and it worked ok...

Finally I found some guys with the same problem as me, although its on HTC Hero, the problem is very similar. Michael S on Modaco already solved is problem by running some weird, hidden and undocumented commands of fastboot.

Will give some more time to run those commands on mine and see what happens.

USB Problem

Hi,
if i connect my HTC Touch HD with my computer, it's just charging, nothing more. If i go to Bootloader, there is just written Serial even if its connected.
I am using Dutty ROM since some weeks and didn't had any problems till a few days ago, the strange thing is, that i didn't change anything.
I tried it on my laptop and on my computer the one with windows vista the other one with win xp, it worked on both, but not anymoe.
i also have a problem with the camera, if i press it nothing happens it just stays in the menu. Some days ago i got a error failed to initialize camera, but no more error anymore.
In my opinion my hardware is broken somehow, i hope someone in here can tell me sth different and a solution.
And if my hardware is broken, how can flash my original rom back without an usb connection, because the warenty will be gone with a custom rom i think.
I hope someone can help me.

A hard reset will quickly tell you if it's hardware or software and you don't need usb for that. There is also an option which dictates what the phone does when connected via usb, so you might want to check that option first.
need to read & search a little more
last paragraph of this post outlines how to return to stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2710548&postcount=1
i did hardreset, but still same problem
what i also noticed, is that sometimes my display don't work, i have sound and vibrate feedback, but i see just a black display, softreset etc doesen't work somehow i have to take of the battery.
i noticed also that the usb cable is a bit broken, but it still charges the phone.
but i already saw that normal usb cable should work too, so i tried it but no change.
i guess i will try to get the stock rom again now and see what happens
well like i thought, i can't get the stock rom, because i dont have a usb connection
any more suggestions?

There is 2 methods to flashing roms. Have you tried SD card method?
1. Download ROM image you would like to use, normally named RUU_Signed.nbh, and rename it to "BLACIMG.nbh"
2. Copy BLACIMG.NBH into the root dir of your Storage Card.
3. Be sure to have at least 30% of charge.
4. Turn off your device by using the Power Button
5. Go to bootloader mode. Push and hold Vol Down + press Power button.
6. As soon as presented the message, push Power button to start flashing or Volume Down button to cancel.
7. The whole procedure will take about 3 minutes. After you finish and see the relative message, soft reset your device, you are ready.
thanks god i didn't bring the phone to shop yet xD
thank u, i will check this method i will post here if it works later
well now i have another problem
there is written upgrade rom code error please try again on bootloader, i cant turn it on anymore it gets stuck on the loading screen of the flashing progress

I had this exact same problem a while back after a bad flash. What you need to do is flash carriers orginal stock rom onto device. This will be the only rom which will work. Go to wiki section on stock roms here and download your original rom and flash it. Don't worry if bottom of bootloader is blank or doesn't say 'usb', original rom will flash anyhow.
More info read this thread
i am downloading right now, hopefully it will work, i will write more infos later
thank u for your help, without you, i would be lost...
i am stuck, i get error 206 connection
i downloaded stock rom to my pc
and i'm a bit confused, my pc noticed that i pluged in the phone, my device manager showed my phone, this worked only one time, now nothing...
EDIT: in bootloader mode, serial staus doesnt switch to usb or blank, updateing usb driver doesn't work without usb connection to device, at least i didnt found sth here
i will try it on my other computer now, but i doubt it will work
EDIT2: got usb connection for some seconds, problem is my hardware of device its broken somehow, if i press on th eback of the device i am able to get usb connection, now it failed, i will give it some more tries, there was sth 294 ID error
EDIT3: seems like its the wrong rom, how can i find out which rom will work?
EDIT4: semms like i got a working rom its at 10%
EDIT5: Device working again, usb working perfectly again, dunno why, but camera still doesnt work, there happens nothing if i press on it and display turns black sometimes as before.
i flashed an O2 Rom now, from my provider.
My last question now is, what about warranty, how can i know that uspl/hsapl is fully removed from device and how to find out if device is now a case of warrnty, where can i check it? because i want a working camera again, so i think i need the warranty
Some infos:
O2 Provider ROM flashed
On Bootloader i see:
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.54.0000
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
In my opinion its fine for warranty, but i want someone to confirm this.
And thank you alot for ur help and work in this forum =)
If you have an official HTC upgrade rom on your device you are fine for warranty. As your SPL says 1.54.0000 this means you haven't got USPL or HSPL on your device, so you're fine.
thank you very much

Unbrick Tmobile Hero :(

My friend asked me to try recovering his T-mobile DE Hero, it was bricked while my friend was trying to root it
I tried to flash official rom, but RUU gets error 170...
This what appears on screen when device is on:
error 170... thats the usb connection error right?
this could be because the drivers are not installed properly.
read this thread, then try again
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647353
Although error 170 is indeed USB error, (with windows 7 normally) the nasty looking Icon at the bottom of the screen does not look good, never seen that before
Let us know how you get on please
I had the same error with mine.
I ended up in installing a custom ROM, since NOTHING would work. No drivers no nothing. It just refused to read the phone.
I installed VillainROM 12, it has OS 2.1 so it's working perfectly
I had the same problem, but I was trying to flash my German G2 using an HTC Official RUU. I've been able to flash the recovery rom using fastboot and then boot it, but that's where my progress has ended. I'm about to flash VillainROM12.0.0-Full and see what happens. I'll let you know.
EDIT: VillainROM12 installed via AmonRa Recovery menu, but rebooting takes me right back to the RUU screen with an Xed-out EPROM
Nothing helped
I tried everything You said, but device is showing same screen, I also tried using SD card method but when I turn Hero on (while holding Vol-) same screen appears
Does anyone have any other idea what to do?
Its looking like a problem with a radio (drivers etc). Try to update it through recovery if u can enter there.
You can see in my first post the only screen where I can enter...
Well.. This icon with a "chip" probably say a SPL or Radio of phone is just f***ed up.. :/ You can enter to fastboot so drivers of graphics and other modules are in good condition..
wheeeler i think u should find a .zip with a official SPL and radio and update it through recovery like u did it with Villain ROM
I got some idea but I think u tried it before.
iwanrakic U can connect to phone via SDK?
Try this command. It should update it.
C:\sdk\tools>fastboot flash radio radio.img
Of course u need image of official radio.
What driver does Windows report installed when you plug it into your PC in that mode?

[Q] usb connection problem ...

hi there,
before i flashed my new htc magic i had normal usb connection. adb and fastboot worked fine.
but now i have flashed the new hboot (Engineering SPL 1.33.2004) and a new rom (BeatMod AOSP 2.2.1). when i connect my phone the power led turns on but no usb connection! in the device manager error code (43) UNKNOWN DEVICE. searched the forum and dr.google but till now no anwer found.
i tried to flash back to factory default rom, with NHB method, still no usb connection...

thx in advance.

yep, no chance that my device is recognized. downloaded the x86 and x64 drivers for android. but the UNKNOWN DEVICE dont let me install it.... im really
Last time I had that problem I had to uninstall everything android-related, use USBDeview to remove all android devices and start from scratch.
You say you flashed the official nbh and it still doesn't work? Did the flashing work fine?

[170] USB Connection Error

I tried to root my Magic however it has perfected SPL 1.76.2008 so I tried the goldcard method but I only managed to change the firmware from 1.6 to 1.5. I cannot use fastboot so now I'm trying to install a new RUU so that I can follow the steps to install CM however I get the USB error (on windows 7).
I already tried reinstalling the latest HTC Sync and that seems to recognise my phone but when I open the Setup for RUU, Sync doesnt recognise it anymore until I close setup and replug USB. And yes, I inserted the goldcard already. Any help is appreciated.
I have pretty much the same problem here, but I do not have a goldcard (which I dont thing its necessary). When I try to transfer some file to my phone, it starts and after a couple of seconds, unplug from storage mode (Robot turns green again :[ ).
I have Cyanogenmod 6.1.0-DS and Windows 7 32bit.
Even over wifi, this happens. Seems to me thats some storage problem with the rom, but cyanogenmod is widely used and tested.
Can someone help us?
Debugging on?
Of course, I followed every single step correctly maybe theres a problem with windows 7.

On linux now and had forgotten this. Reread everything from the beginning and recalled that I've had issues with the drivers from HTC Sync driver not working when I had downgraded my G1.
The "official" google sdk driver covers all builds and modes (RUU uses adb mode.) Maybe try reinstalling with them instead?
Kind Regards,

MAGLDR driver was not sucessfully installed

I have been flashing my HTC HD2 EU model without issue for weeks now, i have had many different versions of android on and had no problems carrying out all the steps, but after reinstalling windows i am unable to get the MAGLDR drivers to install it appears as an "other device" in device manager with error code 28 (no driver installed)
I have HSPL 2.08 installed. and radio 2.15.50.14
Heres what i have tried:
-install/remove HTC Sync
-install Windows Mobile Device Centre
-installed Android SDK and google driver revision 4
I have booted into bootloader and attempted to reinstall the radio AND HSPL, but the bootloader also shows as an "other device" and it does not show "usb" on the screen, so when i run "romupdateutility" i get connection error 260..
i am fresh out of ideas i have spent nearly a week and half googling the problem is as many ways as possible and nothing even remotely helpful has come up, if i boot into CWM i can mount the SD card and i can install (some) ROMS, but only ones that use the same partition layout i am currently using and i cant use any others because i cannot flash the partition layout.
Theres not an issue with the phone because i have a computer at work and it all works fine there, just wont work on my home laptop
any ideas?
*update* i have read a few people with a similar (not exactly the same) issue are he owners of bricked HD2's my device DOES work it works fine but just wont install this bloody driver so i can never flash another ROM and i dont know why. 36 views and NOONE has an answer?
in WMDC make sure 'allow usb connections' is unticked.
Thanks for that mate your a lifesaver that got it to install the device driver for MAGLDR, but i still couldnt get the bugger to flash via USB, strangely killing ADB in task manager solved this and i am not able to flash. Problem solved!
Has anyone found the resolution? I am also facing the same problem and because of this, I even cannot use Android Debugging.
Any help?
