Can't Task29 or flash with USB - wtf? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hey guys, for some reason I'm unable to perform a Task29 or flash anything from MAGLDR 1.13's USB flasher mode.
Here's what happened.
I was using CMYLXGO's stock Desire HD ROM and having data problems, so I tried to change my kernel to Tytung's using CWM. After I did that, Android stopped booting - kernel load fail. I don't know how to fix that, so I figured I'd just do a clean install.
When I tried to do a Task29 from the 3 color screen, I get stuck at "Verifying information from your PDA phone..." It then tells me it can't establish a USB connection. I ran the program as administrator.
Okay, I said to myself, I'll try reflashing CWM from MAGLDR's USB Flasher. I got "Wait USB... USB." and tried, but DAF.exe also told me it couldn't establish a USB connection.
I know the USB connection is working, because I've tried it with two different cords and reformatted the SD card through MAGLDR's USB mass storage mode, which still works.
Can anybody help me out? Currently I can't boot android, don't have windows mobile and am f**ked...
Thanks,
Zuka

I think I've solved it, if anyone else is having the same problem. I believe it's because I uninstalled Windows Mobile Device Center when I moved to android full time.
EDIT: That was in fact the problem. Hint: NEVER UNINSTALL MOBILE DEVICE CENTER

Yes WMDC and ActiveSync have the USB drivers for your HD2 will it is in bootloader, hence no connection via USB as you have no USB drivers for bootloader. Glad you figured your problem out and posted it back here for others to see. Too bad I did not see your threadcearlier as I may have been able to say you a little stress.

Haha, I appreciate it, but when I tried it on my housemate's computer and I saw "Windows Mobile Device Centre installing..." I knew how I'd messed up. Thanks anyway, hopefully this can serve as a reference thread if anyone googles and comes up short.

[Q] No USB connection between my HD2 & my computer

I have HTC HD2,I was trying to upgrade to Android, I think I made a mistake I installed “MAGLDR113” before upgrading my Radio to version 2.15.50.14. After I installed MAGLDR113 I connected my phone to my computer and the telephone was stuck in boot mode and was never able to see USB connection. Now my computer does not recognize my phone anymore and I can’t flash a new Radio version since I have no connectivity to my computer. I tried several things but all was useless. Can anyone help me telling me how I can have a USB connection to my computer??
Thank you.
do you have tried to start and hold volume button... than connect to usb and simply install a stock rom (for example from your provider) - this must work... if not - you have bigger problem.

Answered so many times. turn your phone off then turn it on "while holding volume down.It will then take to bootloader(rainbow screen).It suppose to have a cotulla written above the rainbow screen.Now flash it with a stock rom came from HTC site..No need to sync your phone to your PC..Just flash it..Start all over again..Now you can search before doing somehing with your phone.If that didn't help you. You have a bigger problem..
Yes I tried this also but it doesn't work.
What didn't work? Can you boot into bootloader - ie switch off, press and hold vol down button and switch phone on.
You should then boot into a multi-coloured screen and should see "serial" at the bottom of the screen.Then connect device to usb port (preferably one at back of your pc and a different one that you haven't used before if possible) - let the drivers install if applicable - does "serial" change to "usb"?
Do wat d above posters have suggested then try different usb ports or even a different windows pc...For all we know, your usb cable might be faulty....Also did u perform HARDSPL before anything else?
I've started experiencing this very same thing. HD2 wont regognize usb connection while in bootloader screen. I get the usb connection sound but never says usb at bottom of screen like it used to. I've been trying android builds via sd but wanted to try my first flash but cant even instal MAGLDR cos it just fails at bootloader cos of no connection. Has been driving me wild for 3 days now.
try plugging the phone into a different USB port it should work then...
Tried that all day and it said couldn't install drivers, then just tried the same ports now and its worked. I think it was mobile device center had 2 set-ups for my phone, i deleted the older one and all seems fine now.
This is crazy, now i'm stuck on magldr and won't find usb.
I'm leaving nand now cos i'm close to smashing my phone to pieces, magldr usb flasher will not find the connection no matter what i try, so i'm staying with ****ty windows mobile. Not happy but i've been trying for days now.

I am experiencing this exact same problem. Bootloader wont recognize the USB stays in SERIAL. Tried different ports, cord is fine. What is the problem.
Before this, my HTC HD2 would just hard reset on its own ONCE A DAY! Why was it doing this?
Now it gets stuck on the white HTC loading screen. Wont get passed it. I used to be able to hard reset by doing the volume keys down and reset but NOPE... still wont load past that white screen.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you guys tried deleting the drivers using a utility like USBDeview? Try deleting anything that relates to HTC OR HD2, replug the phone in, re-install the drivers.

Of course it won't work without drivers. The computer needs drivers to communicate with the phone. In normal mode, unplug the phone, Google the application, download it, open it, click everything that has HTC or HD2 in it and click uninstall. Plug the phone in, let the drivers install themselves again. Try again.

Ok... i rebooted into Normal mode, downloaded the utility, did a search for "HTC" found nothing, did a search for "HD" found nothing. So i am now installing windows mobile center for windows 7 which should have the appropriate drivers.
Install Windows mobile device center 6.1, problem solved.

I'm able to view through USBDeview that my HD2 is connected, however I'm unable to view/open it.. I screwed up by naming the 'temp' folder to 'copy_to_sd_root'..
The instructions confused me. I figured this was the folder that needed to be copied to the sd root... however when i rebooted the phone, I was unable to access it. Any recommendations?
SOLVED
I was overlooking the USB Flash option.
If you are still having problems, let your phone turn on(no multi-color screen), select: USB Flash, click the DAF.exe installation file, follow the prompts.
You're done.
I had this problem and I solved it disabling an option in activesync. I can't remember what was exactly the checkbox, but was in "options" and it said something like "allow usb connections" or something like this.
I just disabled it and rebooted the device holding volume down.
Good luck!
Make Sure Phone is not connected to PC
Goto cotrol panel in windows
Uninstall HTC BMP USB Driver
Uninstall HTC Driver Installer
Uninstall HTC Sync
Unisntall Windows Mobile Device Center
Restart the PC
start the phone holding power and vol dn and now connect the phone to PC. should detect and install the drivers and you should be able to see USB on phone screen.
if this does not work
Delete all the USB root HUB but keep as last option in device manager.
PS: This will cause ALL the USB devices to redetect.
Let me know if this works

[q] help please

I tried to reinstall an android rom on it and for some reason it keeps looping and the computer will not recognize it. I am able to get on MGLDR but the computer will not find my phone. Please I need hel I've been trying to fix it for the last 5 hrs.
If you still can have acces to th MAGLDR, just do the process again and re-flash your ROM... Do a full wipe before and all is gonna be fine
The problem is that the computer don't find my phone. I've tried everything I've found on the forum and still can get it to find it.

Maybe you need the ADB drivers. Does it detect the phone in USB storage mode? Flash mode? Have you installed clockwork recovery? Can it detect the phone in that USB storage mode? Did it work before you made changes to the phone or is this your first Android flash?
Why don't you task29 your phone, install MAGLDR, throw a 150MB recovery image on, stick a recovery ROM on your SD card and flash again?
the computer does not detect the phone at all. It did work before I made the changes. It is my 2nd flash. and the problem is that the phone keeps looping after I boot from nand, iget the 123 and the gogogo and then reboots again

Try to boot by pressing volume down and power. Then you will get to the tri-color screen. Plug in the USB cable and wait for a connection. If your computer doesn't even recognize it there, then you're really f***'d up, I would mean..
Edit: Or you didn't install the active sync drivers that SPL and your computer need to communicate.

His suggestion of this being his second flash lead me to believe he's done that bit already.
I would have to say at this point it's either your desktop PC/Laptop or the cable.
I have a dodgy cable, sometimes when I "think" my phone is charging it actually isn't, even though the LED and OS tell me it should be.
Also my Laptop point blank refused to detect my HD2 a while ago.
Recommendations:
Try same cable in a different PC.
Try new cable in same & different PC.
If your work computers are on lockdown, you can at least take the cable there with you and see if the Administrator policy window pops up to tell you you're not allowed to install new hardware. That way you know the phone and cable are fine.

Yeah, you're right
Maybe it is also the port on his device, my port seems to have a loose connection too as it is not the most stable anyway..
Thanks everyone. I downloaded a recovery program on my SD card , rebooted and flashed again. Thank You very much for all your help.

THANK YOU!!! I've been waiting for someone else to have the same problem!!! I'm relieved it's not just mine. I'm assuming you did a manual install also? Is yours rooted? One person suggested ClockworkMod but I'm a little nervous about rooting. I've been doing the manual installs but that's as for as I wanna go. I can't stand the idea of bricking my phone.
My phone is new out of the box!
I found that on two Windows XP machines USB storage doesn't work. I then plugged it into a Win7 box and it worked perfectly. I also used a different cable with the Win7. Try a different cable and try Win7.

I have Windows XP on my work PC and Windows 7 Premium 64 on my home notebook and the USB worked fine on 2.3.3. Every since I did the manual install of 2.3.4 the USB functionality is gone. I'm thinking maybe the ROM is used wasn't incomplete. It's beginning to look like the only way to fix this is to root my phone
FWIW I did the manual update (full rom) and USB storage works fine on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 box.

Yeah, I'm thinking maybe the one I installed wasn't the full ROM. As soon as I see people saying it works great I go ahead and use it. Do you know of any possible fixes without rooting?
No first hand experience, but would it be possible to download the full rom and manually flash it again?

Trying to figure that out. I've been told try ClockworkMod and go back to 2.3 but I'm trying to do it without rooting.
Try a different USB port
If the update was incomplete, the update would have failed the signature check. The first time I connected my Nexus S after manually patching to 2.3.4, Windows 7 Professional X64 did not detect it when connected. I unplugged it and used a different USB port and it worked. I then tried the original port and it also worked. I would try a different USB port and a scan in Device Manager before changing the ROM.

I also have Windows 7 Prof. 64 bit, but switching to different ports didn't work. It won't install the drivers. What else could that mean if it isn't the ROM?
I had this problem immediately after flashing CWM.
I booted into the ROM, then, while the USB was plugged in, powered off the device, and turned it back on. It then seems to work everytime I turn on the device, as long as I don't boot into recovery.
Me too

I had a the same problem with my SGS.
The trick for me did: disable usb-legacy-support in your motherboard-bios.
Have you tried re-installing USB driver from the latest android SDK?
Kind of strange, it was working great yesterday and today couldn't connect. Right clicked on android_winusb.inf and selected install and it started working again. Not sure what could have changed from one day to the next. But at least I know what to do when it happens again.

Never tried that. Doesn't that involve rooting or unlocking the bootloader? Both of those wipe the USB storage.

Don't have a custom ROM. All I did was manual bootload 2.3.4 on stock Android. The weird thing is when it's plugged in(charging only) and I turn it off, it starts to power down and then freeze. The screen doesn't go black until I pull it out. Then when I plug it back in it automatically powers back on. Basically, I can't seem to plug it in while it's powered off.
I have no idea why but my suddenly works again. Im happy but confused
You shouldn't need any drivers at all for windows XP vista 7 ect. Mounting your SD card, using flash drives... all use the same USB mass storage divice driver built into windows.

[Solved] [Q] USBFlasher Mode not operative [drivers?]

My main issue is drivers. I ended up formating my computer with a fresh install of Win7 64-bit few weeks ago, but did this with android on my phone. So now I have a dilemma.
I cannot get drivers anywhere [online] that will let me go into any USB mode for either:
MAGLDR
or
Tr-Color Screen
So either with magldr it just sits there forever saying USB Wait...[never says usb]
And with tri-color screen it never says USB, if I try different USB ports it says Serial and never changes to anything else.
I think my problem is I need WM back, and sync it with WMDC. The problem to that? I cant even flash WM...
Anyone know of any other way to get the drivers for Win7 64? So I can use USB Flasher or tr-color screen.
Hope someone knows a solution...I have been looking for weeks to a resolution to this problem :-/
Thanks in advanced
Try reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center.
I tried that, I installed it and it installed a Microsoft Mobile device driver, but it still does not say USB on the flasher mode or on the tri-color screen...
Can anyone find out the name of the driver/device when they plug their phone in and it enables USB (under usb flasher or tri-color screen)? Maybe from there I can search better names for the right driver...
Any ideas? Just trying to see if anyone knows any solution to this...
Thanks
UPDATE:
Ok, so I had a minor cut in my cable, with only the shielding wire coming out a little bit. I luckly had another micro usb in house that I could try. Seems if there is the slightest problem with your cable, get it replaced. MY USB WORKS FINE NOW . Try new cables if you are having serious driver issues (tried it on 2 computers, thats when I said it has to be the cable.). Could be the simple thing.

[Q] My phone cannot connect to Computer, help me please...

Hey guys, has anyone face this problem like me. I'm not sure what I did wrong with my phone, but when I connect via USB cable to computer it doesn't recognize my phone. Usually, when we connect it to computer it will pop up saying that "Charge Only" and USB Debugged Connecting. But for me my phone nothing happen, just normal charging.
I tried to switch to various different ROM from Gingerbread to ICS and ICS to HTC Sense 3.5, but still the same. Still not recognize by the computer.
Help me please...
Still kinda a noob so I may sound stupid for this but do u have the correct drivers for the phone installed on your computer

Is it possible that you disabled the pop up?
If it doesn't seem to be a software problem, have you tried using a different USB cable? This would be the most likely problem for you, in my opinion.

The driver came on the root of you sd card when the phone was new. If that doesn't work try pdanet

Well, I already tried all these ways. Still not working. I even try to restore to the previous back up that the SD card is working by that time. But nothing happen still. Look like it is a hardware problem.:laugh:
Have you looked at the device manager for devices with an exclamation point? Make sure you have the "show hidden devices" checked.
On your pc re-install the phone driver but first uninstall the original driver through control panel>programs. After the uninstall, plugging in your phone to your PC should bring up the unknown device pop up (then the new hardware installation dialogue). If not then the pc isn't picking up your phone, check the cable, maybe try a different cable/ usb port.
If all else fails, some mytouch custom roms on these forums borked usb, there was a workaround for that, something you could flash. I remember seeing it in some of the threads... Wish I could remember the name. It was around Cyanogen 7.1 mods/ports (before rc 7.2 was out). Maybe somebody else remembers..
Sent from my Frosted Cherry ParanoidAndroid v 1.5a3
It could be a failed USB connector in the phone. Much, much higher probability than "borked USB". Especially if he installed several custom ROMs and didn't have anything.
Very easy to tell:
Boot to bootloader (power off, then power on + Volume Down), choose "FASTBOOT" (with VolDown and Power buttons), connect USB. If you'll see "FASTBOOT USB" showing up instead of "FASTBOOT" - it means USB is working. If not - most likely USB plug in the phone is dead, or something wrong with your computer's USB ports.
you need to install the HTCdriver before connected the myTouch to computer. I think I downloaded it from the official myTouch 4g website, some mytouches have it in their sd card...

Hi, I've tried your suggestion. And the Fastboot USB didn't pop up. So that mean something wrong with it. Do you have any solution for this. Appreciate your help.
If no "install driver" or "unrecognized device" popped up at the computer - just to be sure, try a different computer. If still nothing pops up on the computer - it means you have to fix the USB socket of the phone, and it means you have to submit it to a lab (unless you're good with micro-soldering and have all the tools, including microscope - but it doesn't seem to be the case). It's a physical problem, and can't be solved with software - no builds/ROMs/etc can make metal contact

You are right. I think it is the hardware problem too. Because I just got a Micro USB port broken and I went to the phone repairer to fix it. After I got it back for a couple day and flash new ROM. The USB is no longer working. Will return it to them.
Thanks for your time
