Htc Touch elf usb issues

Hey, I was looking to flash my rom to a better one however when i connect my htc touch to my pc the light turns on on my phone but the computer does not pick it up, doesnt even make a noise or show up in my computer. Have tried soft reseting, hard reseting, reinstalling windows device manager and tried to use on another computer but again the computer does not pick it up. Cable looks to be in fine condition, could this be a fault with the phones software? Any help would be great thanks.

Try sdcard flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Elf_SD_Card_Flashing

PC doesn't recognize (see) my phone

Hello,
I have a problem, when I connect my phone with the USB cable to my computer, it doesn't do anything. He don't recognize the phone, doesn't make any connection nor see the SD card.
I've already tried to clear the box: Enable faster data synchronization, and tried to choose Disk Drive (Faster file transfer), it all doesn't do anything.
Tried different PC's, with WMC and Active Sync 4.5, with different OS's.
The cable isn't broker or something because the only thing that happens when I connect the phone with my PC is that the orange light (battery charge) is on.
I've installed Shadowline ROM, but it did work with that rom (active sync and disk transfer).
I think it is a problem of the ROM tho, so is there any way to flash my ROM without using a PC?
Answers would be realy appreciated.
Thank you.

You can flash from the storage card, just rename the .nbh file to TOPAIMG.nbh and put on the root of your storage card, go to bootloader mode and it will flash.
Your cable can be bad and still charge. I would try a different cable.
Also try deleteing the partnership in Active Sync and try to reestablish it.
I assume you hard reset after you flashed the ROM.
I do not think its a ROM issue.

Ok thanks for your reply.
I did what you sad but when I loaded the TOPAIMG.nbh in the bootloader, it came up with an error and freezes on: Loading ...
When I restarted it It Only shows:

And then he goes to the white screen with the blue letters saying: Loading...

When I put out my SD-card and the battery and connect the phone with the USB (my pc still don't see recognize anything) it will boot to the exact same screen as I typed here above but then he stays at that one.
I can't do anything, already tried to hard reset him but that also didn't work.
It feels like im pretty screwed..
Please help!

Maybe you have a problem with the mini USB.
Happen to me with Touch HD.
If so take it to a reppair shop.

Well, I borrowed and USB cable from my friend and now he indeed makes an connection. But no active sync connection. I also can't see my SD card in My Computer. He still only shows the screen that I typed here above, but then under in the white area a little text: USB
What do I have to do next to fix it,
please help
thanks

I am concerned that you screen shot shows SPL 1.83.00, but you have flashed Shadowline's ROM.
It should say SPL: 1.83.00Olinex which would mean you have HSPL installed which is absolutely required to flash a custom ROM.
Did you have that ROM operational and just couldn't sync, or has the device not worked since you flashed this ROM?

Yes, I had the shadowline ROM, and it al worked good. I also could connect my mobile to my pc with the USB cable.
I don't know what happend, I didn't install any other program or something else but I suddently couldn't connect my mobile phone to my pc anymore.
But I wanted another ROM because I noticed that the Shadowline ROM feld a little bit laggy, so I found out that you can do that by your booting with the SD card.
And I know that you have to install hardSPL first, so I downloaded that one from the big post in this ROM forum from Topaz.
Booted with the SD card, and then when I started to flash the ROM he gave an error and now I have to problem that I can't do anything anymore.

I guess my point was if you had Shadowlines ROM, you were already HSPL'd, no need to do again.
Hard reset the phone and try to install ROM from SD.

Hi,
i had once the same problem. No connection with PC anywhere. I couldnt do nothing with that and was quite desperate about that.
But once suddenly it came to work again. I am not sure what made it work again but the only thing I can guess was that I took out and gave back the memory card with the turned on phone. Since then I have never had this problem again.
I wish you that this taking out of memory card helped you too.

Well, If I'm hard resetting, the only thing he does is show the percentages, then he says completed, then he reboot en I'm back at the tri-color screen again.
And I can't enter the bootloader, so I also can't install the ROM from the Sd-card.
And taking out the memory card while the phone is on also dont work
Any other options what maby will work?

Just some points;
Make sure the .nbh file is named excatly TOPAIMG.nbh paying attention to the case of the letters.
When you attempt to go into Bootloader, Holding Voume Down and Power buttons at the same time when phone is off, what screen appears?

[Q] my handset doesn´t recognize sd apps

HD2 USB Not being recognised

Hey, small problem here. I was charging my HD2 earlier today with no problems at all, I flashed the 1.72 stock ROM back onto my phone, and it seemed to be charging fine for a small while after that. But now, after I tried charging my phone, it doesn't seem to recognise there's a USB connection at all. The LED at the speaker-grille isn't doing anything, and the the phone tells me it isn't connected by USB when it's plugged into a computer.
I tried a tonne of things, checked the cable and switched it, soft-reset it, took the battery out, hard reset it, and even blown inside the socket to try and get rid of anything that might be blocking it, but it just isn't showing it's plugged in AT ALL any more... and now the battery is dead, so I can't do anything with it now to try and help it. :/
The only sign I have that the phone realises it has any sort of USB connection, is when I tried to hard reset the device, (I used the hold volUp+volDown+Power method) and it shows the message 'press volUp to hard reset,' usually when I do this, pressing volume up doesn't do anything when the phone is connected by USB for some weird reason - and I have to disconnect USB for the phone to hard reset. I figured this wouldn't happen if the phone doesn't realise it has a USB connection, but when the cable was plugged in, it still wouldn't hard reset until I took it out. So it shows there must be some way the phone knows it's connected.
I'm running the WWE 1.72 ROM with radio 2.10. 50.08_2 if it helps.
Any suggestions?

*Bump*
Sorry for the bump, but it would really help if anyone could help explain this.

I think a bit of trial and error would be best here to establish whats at fault.
phone, cable, or usb port.
-try plugging into a different usb port
-try a different cable (if you have one)
appologies if you have tried these allready.

Tried another cable again just incase, still nothing though. My iPods connected via that USB port I tried using, and that's working fine, so it doesn't seem like that's it, either...

Hi:
I'm having a similar problem. I had plugged in a new retractable usb cable, and when I did, the phone shut off. I rebooted, and tried my original cable, but the phone doesn't charge or sync. I've also tried hard/soft reset, wall charger, usb charger, and none of that seems to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

No idea if this is related or not but my USB connection stopped working after I got the "bttrayce.exe is not a valid pocket pc application" problem (Thanks TomTom! ) so it would appear the USB port has some weird dependencies!
Fixed it by renaming the windows\btsdkce30.dll file (added "[temp]" to the name just in case!) and soft-resetting.
Might be worth a try?

r u using activsync or windows mobile centre ???

USB Issue
I've got exactly the same issue, running HyperROM 3.01.405.T1 and Radio 2.06.51.07.
Suddenly USB isn't working, tried various cables and I suspect it's a software issue somewhere.
Charging isn't a problem at the moment, I have a charging station (ebay from Hong Kong) so I can access the phone and try and resovle this.
I'm going to go back to the stock rom (I assume I'll find that somewhere on XDA) and upddate the Radio version and see if that sorts it.
If anyone has worked out what's casuing this generally let me know as I can imagine this will take a lot of trial and error to solve!
Thanks

have you fixed it?
i am having a similar issue:
I have recently updated my HTC HD2 rom to version 3.14.410.2.
After that i have installed tomtom navigator, but when i turn on the device it returned a message 'BTTRAYCE' is not a valid Pocket PC application'.
I looked at the forums and it was recommended to delete files Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll and
\Windows\BtCoreIf.dll, so i did.
Unfortunately my usb connection is now not working, and i think it could be related to the deletion of those 2 files.
I made a hard reset, but the problem still persists.
can anyone help me please?

Uninstall TomTom and the problem goes away.
You can download versions on TomTom Navigator 7 with the Bluetooth files removed - like * HERE *

I don't have an OS installed...
This is due to aMAGLDR being installed and when I had the device open.. I created a 'temp' folder and my next task was to create a 'create_to_sd_root', well I renamed the temp folder to that... bad move? I think so. My system acknowledges the device, however I'm unable to access it. I.e. my computer(no icon), windows mobile center(not connected), etc. Please help! I need my phone!

I you were trying to flash Android you just need to flash Clock Work Mod (CWM) and then place the .zip file for the Android ROM on your SD card and use CWM to flash the Android ROM. It is links to Youtube videos in the OP of the thread showing you how to flash CWM and the ROM.
Are you could flash back to Win MO through USB and bootloader or SD card and bootloaderr.. If you go for USB and bootloader make sure you see USB in the white bar of bootloader befor tryng to flash the ROM. Also thew SD card metrhod will remove HSPL if you use a Official and not a custom ROM.

Well I've figured out how to get the android os on there, however I'm unable to locate the drivers for AD8? I'm still unsure about what folder/files need to be on my microSD if I'm running the Desire HD Froyo(current) I cannot access any internal/external(microSD). Help?

You have to use MAGLDR's mass storage option to get access to your SD card, or use the mount storage option in Clock Work Mod. I recomemd usingvthecnass storagecin MAGLDR though as I have had trouble gettingvthecdrivers for mount storage in CWM to install but have never had a problem with the mass storage option in MAGLDR.

I did the same but no work. I have issue #USB not recognized# after installed Android Transformer SD ver.
In three color screen I have USB connection working fine. I could install HSPL4, update Radio, but Win 6.5 has a USB problem.
I don't think this is a hardware issue or I am wrong?
Still confused. Should I take my phone to service?

Hi,
I have the similar problem with my hd2, but worse. Out of 3 different comouters I tried none can see the phone connected and gives me the error saying one of the USB device connected to this computer has malfunctioned and cannot be recognized. I have tried two different cables. I cannot connect my phone through latest magldr using USB flasher or USB mass storage modes. Moreover, when I connect my phone in rainbow screen (hspl screen where you install magldr), it should change to USB from serial but even that does not happen. ANy solutions?? I think its my phone.... Is there any way to revert this back to normal. I don't want a brick.

Your USB drivers for the defualt bootloader (multicolor screen) seem to be working fine, so no you do not have a hardware problem. You might want to uninstall Windows Mobile Device Center or Active Sync, which ever one your computer uses. Then re install it. Also go to device manager in your comtrol panel while you have hour HD2 booted up and connected via USB and clck on update drivers for hour phone, it should be listed in device manager.

When you say your Serial in boorloader does not change to USB this tells me you are having driver issues or hardware issues with your micro USB port on your HD2. My bet is it is just driver issues. I sugest you uninstall and rei nstall Wimdows Mobile Device Center or Active Sync which ever one your computer uses. These programs contain the USB drivers for the HD2 and MAGLDR partialy relies on those drivers to. So maybe that will solve your problem.

[Q] [SOLVED!] Is my USB port busted?

Hi guys,
So tonight, when I tried to flash a new partition layout on my HD2, my phone would not "see" the USB cable plugged into it. Thinking it was a problem with MAGLDR, I tried goign into the 3-color boot screen, where the "SERIAL" at the bottom never changes to "USB", no matter what port or computer I try it on. This is weird because I can connect as USB drive, and it is fully visible to the laptop...
Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
PS: Turns out I had a bad USB hub. Hate that!

Have you tried a different usb cable? Or connecting without SD inserted? I would just try a complete refresh (task29, remove hspl, hard reset, stock WM rom, hspl, magldr again).

HD2 USB Not Working / Can't be Detected

Just bought a used HD2 (TMOUS). I checked the bootloader and it already had HSPL installed. However, I wanted to flash stock ROM and do task29 prior to installing HSPL again myself.
I flashed the stock ROM v3.14.531.1 via microSD card method. Then I tried to run task29 and it failed. Bootloader wouldn't detected the USB connection. I also try to install HSPL but it doesn't work. I get an error: USB COnnect Failed!
When I connect to PC or wall charger, the phone charges perfectly fine. I even see the icon that says its connected.
When I am on the bootloader and connect the phone to my PC via USB, the white background area says "Serial" and it doesn't change to "USB".
I tried using different USB cables and also different PC, but still no luck.
What is wrong? Why can't I connect via USB? Help please.

Have you tried droidexployer? Doubt that'll work but worth a shot. What might be wrong is you don't have the proper drivers installed.

Droidexployer is for devices running rooted android. mine is still stuck on windows, i can't install hspl in order to run android...
i am sure its not a driver problem because i have another hd2 which connects perfectly fine.

Have you tried it on a different usb port on the pc? Sometimes one will work while another won't for some reason. Also remember to check the options in ActiveSync or WMDC to ensure usb connections are allowed, seems a stupid mistake, but one I have made myself before. If all that fails, maybe try on a different pc or with a different usb cable. Sorry for the super simple answers, I see you're not a brand new user, but its often these simple little things that hang us up

Change the battery
Change the battery ?

I seen your comment that said you already had hspl so I just assumed it was on android, sorry. Yea the different usb ports is a great idea if it wasn't for the fact that you even tried it on a different computer as well. Since you said you bought it used would you mind saying where from? I've known people who have problems with they're phone & can't find out how to fix it so they try and sell it on ebay. If you did get it from there the best thing to do is contact the seller and explain your problem. Ask if it had this problem before and say you don't want this phone if it's not repairable. With ebay you only have a short time to file a complaint if it leads to that.
