cannot use odin!!

my phones 3g stopped working 1 day after i flashed a new rom so i tried flashing it again and that didnt work so i am trying to go back to stock with the how to return to stock guide on here but i cannot get my pc to recognize my phone in downloading mode
i can adb when its on and the drivers are installed but when i boot into downloading mode it just says device is unrecognized
i have tried a different computer and reinstalled the drivers more times that i can remember. what would be the next step here?
is there anyway i can start fresh even if i lose root?

There needs to be a q&a section.
The drivers suck.
What os are you using. Persistence will be your friend. Don't forget to power cycle everything.

im using win 7 64bit

The win 7 drivers are actually vista drivers if I remember correctly.
Which Odin arevyou using? Do you have clockwork?

i have tried 1.0 and 1.3 nothing works. and yes i have clockwork thats how i install my roms.

any chance of the original epic Rom? the one that came with the phone prior to DI07? i used Oden to rever to stock and then applied the update (DI07) but Android Market is not working (i'm guessing corupt (g)Talk file).
Data Wipe + Clear Cache did not seem to help when in clockrecovery, the android market wont let me download anything

this looks like the other file that you will need.
apparently the first one writes system the second for the modem (phone/data)

lmfao your gonna kill me for this but as soon as i finished transfering the file to my sd card 3g just started working.... maybe it was just a glitch with my signal over here? im going to let it be and if it messes up tomorrow then i will flash that stock rom and see what happens...
incase it doesnt work where can i get that 2nd file and how do i install it?

99% this will work..
I had an issue where my dhd screen became totally unresponsive.. nothing worked (Full wipe, new rom, nandriod backup etc.)
The only way to sort it out was to flash an RUU (http://iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs)

then reroot??

what you do is:
1. turn your phone on
2.connect to your phone using USB to computer (just leave it in charge mode)
3. Run RUU , after view clicks it will do everything.
Done phone back to its old state.
Edit: sorry, must of been half asleep. Yes you need to reroot, like the person pointed below, thus I recommend to flash 1.32.

Yes, you will have to reroot after running the RUU

The last thing you can do since the problem starts to occur when apps are. Downloaded, is to not not allow the market to re-download and down the apps you want one by one...

Installing the RUU should return the system all to stock (kernel, radio, bootloader etc.) I don't see why the issue remind, unless it's the app your downloading... Search through the development section there should be a guide, best of luck...

chers all back to stock now had to use radio tool to s-on again now gotta wait 2 weeks at least till i get phone back gutted. Dunno what has happened seems like the system is infected

[Q] Phone Boot problem, won't mound SD

Sorry about the post as this may not be the best place for it.
My phone got low on memory so was trying to clear stuff, it rebooted then on the loading screen (Myn RLS 5) perpetually restarted. So went into recovery
and tried to do a backup (so could format as my last backup was old) and it threw an error in mid -backup (did write it down, doh!!)
Now the phone does the 5 vibration thing and does boot. Also SD won't mount get " /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" error. Also I now notice the phone reset to "S-on" I had a long time ago rooted with unRevoked Forever.
I have read several posts about this , but confused on the best way (instructions) to get a img file on and reinstalled. I have used adb before but only basically , unfortunately my computer at work doesn't have adb installed so cannot test things now.
So if anyone has a good one or two methods for me to try tonight, would be much appreciated. Also totally surprised that security went to "on" so probably have to address that first.
Oh phone is EVO, HBOOT 0.93 , Radio 2.15.00.05.02 . If I should post this somewhere please feel free to direct me there.
EDIT: I have ClockworkMod Recovery 2.6.01 installed and can get into it.
Thanks so much.
Kevin

First I woud try the sd card fix found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243&highlight=sd+card+won't+mount Then I would downgrade your radio to 2.15.00.11.19 using a flashable pc36.img file.All radio versions can be found in the development section.If the first 2 steps are successful,run a 3.70 ruu(can also be found in development).If that is successful,reroot using unrevoked forever and you should be good to go.I' not sure if the radio downgrade will work with s-on,but I think if you use the flashable pc36.img version it will go thru,if it doesn't,you can still try the 3.70 ruu.I ran into some incompatability issues with trying to run the 2.15.00.5.02 radio with older software and hboot versions.

@BrianBusby2038,
Thanks for the post, good information I will give it a try. Interestingly the phone did eventually boot into Myn for a few minutes before the 5 vibrations of death started again.
So looked and it def. doesn't see the SD. So hopefully can recover.
I am wondering if the AData SD card I have is not reliable. Thankfully have the original 8GB card so hopefully can get things going again.
Anybody have a good recommendation for a 16GB microSD that is fast (buying from Newegg) ?
thanks again

No problem,hope it works out ok.

I had this same problem a few days ago and I had to get a replacement ordered (a 2.3 preloaded replacement ). Make sure that your USB is still working, because both my SD card and USB stopped working, S-ON went on, and the five vibrations/green light shut down problem happened. I was able to get S-Card operational, but USB was no go. I could not log in as super user and could not enter the commands necessary to fix usb. No USB = No root = no fix for USB. Now I'm stuck with a 2.3 evo, at least its shiny and new .
Hope you fix yours, I wonder how this problem has happened to so many of us randomly. PS: when you take it to sprint store, don't complicate matters and revert to stock.

Crude, fastboot on PC throwing driver error, how do I tell if the right driver is installed.
This is really sucking, Ive only ever installed one driver and could connect with adb.
So not sure what to do.
EDIT: says can't start because AdbWinApi.dll is missing

@robertsaurus,
not sure how I could go to stock if I cant re-image. Yeah definitely don't want to make a fuss, ugh

I lost clockwork mod and ended up only being able to access default Android recovery menu. I think an option on there will restore the factory Rom and make it look like it was never rooted. I know people have been able to fix theirs but I gave up after a days worth of trying
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Well I had partial success. I restored a signed Sprint Rom, but phone keeps rebooting and USB doesn't work. the 5 vibrations seemed to have gone away. Though since I can get usb to work I can't do a RUU install and remove clockwork.
I did talk to Sprint and they are willing to early upgrade me and buy the EVO back for 125 so long as it boots and it does .
So going to give that a whirl , I have 30 days so may give a few other things on the evo a try before I return. Doing the upgrade I just lose out on some of the rooting so we'll see how that impacts me.

I had the exact issue. I think if you do a wipe from the boot menu (power and vol down) it will get rid of it all. And then take it to sprint and play dumb . Worked for me, new shiny evo lol
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

yeah I played dumb, but since it was out of warranty 1month and 10 days. they wouldn't replace . But at least get upgrade and buy back on the EVO which is not bad.
Though I am over the next couple of days try and get the EVO rescued, so long its still bootable I can take advantage of the buyback

Interestingly I could get the 5 vibrations thing to go away if I applied unrevoked forever s-on. the phone will still reboot and usb not functioning yet. Going to try and get a shell script running to fix usb , or try and do a re-rooting via the auto root, maybe hboot usb will work (fastboot did)
I did get the photon (we'll see how it works, though miss my rooting and evo)
so if like hopefully they will unlock the bootloader.

So can I or can't I root my phone?

Thanks for the reply, but I had recently uninstalled Sync, I restarted my pc, and now it's working.
Had everything working, when I tried to boot a ROM, it was stuck on the htc EVO 4G screen. I went into recovery and wiped everything. Now I'm definitely lost.

Bump, hope it's not bricked...

If you can boot into the white HTC screen, IT IS NOT BRICKED! Put your recovery so you can transfer another rom via usb to your sdcard, then flash a different rom after wiping everything!

It also helps to know what recovery you're using to flash. Depending on the rom amonra works better than clockwork. I use amonra but that's just my preference. Not getting past the white htc screen isn't that problematic, battery pull vol down+power. How long you sit on the htc screen depends on the rom, some roms take all day to boot on that first one and you need to just let it sit and not panic. Some roms just don't work on some phones. I love Evolved's work but I could not get his "Directors Cut" rom to get past the white htc screen but my guy has the same hardware as I do and his booted right up. To me there is no perfect rom, it's the rom that's perfect for you. We're all different people and like different things. Happy flashing.
p.s.- Just make sure you do the usual wipes before flashing alot of devs also have a format zip that you should use as well. It really doesn't matter which one. Used them all and don't really have a preference to either of them.

Umm let me see if I understand. You flashed a ROM, but you can't remember which one, you don't remember what you used to root it with, then you installed a version of CWM that is used for the HTC Desire? Is that it in a nutshell?

ok so ive been trying to remember exactly what rom it was i was running hc 3.1 and it was a stock rom i used the new gingerbreak to root it, the one where its like one button tap and its rooted, also im almost sure the custom rom i flashed to the tablet was ROM][JULE8]-=Virtuous Picasso v. 1.1.0=- [Honeycomb 3.1][Kernel: UNITY V5] and i used the htc desire clockwork recovery when i flashed my a500 hopefully this helps more than the other info
