Need help from android gurus extremely frusturated

Ok here it goes...
Ive come to the conclusion by having no luck with my previous thread which was asking how to fix " the usb is not recognized" after trying everything known to man and reading every thread that this is kind of a grey area. If your problem isnt obvious ie: debugging off or new usb cord etc... then ur sol ? I say this because the people who know their stuff are extremely detailed and make insanely great write-ups.
FTW can anyone explain or knows how to do this:
Fix the phone so that I can have full usb function ie: when i plug it in the comp wants to install drivers and the phone gives me the option to mount?
If not can someone tell me what choices I have???
To give some info my phone started this after (dont judge why i did this like this lol) installed freshhh 2.0b then the new radio then the new....heroc recov(from reading all day and night im guessing its the recovery)
also the phone will boot in heroc recov and will boot in fastboot but NO ADB sigh. and to take the cake me being frusturated seemed to break the cardinal rule no nandroid backup sigh sigh. basically i just want the usb back in action and fresh 2.0 w/radio. im sorry about the long post but im losin my mind over this. Thanks in advance guys as always every bit counts.

Go into your android dev kit and make sure you have the most current version of the ADB drivers. Are they updated? If so, make sure those are the ones you are using.
I've had similar issues before and I know it's wicked frustrating. Just keep toying with it... sure you'll get it eventually.

this happened to me with my brother's moment. I can't remember if usb debugging had to be on or off but it that is what I messed with to get it to work. Try throttling it on and off... Good luck

yes i have and no it doesnt...

Re-install HTC Sync.. It updates the drivers...

there's some driver incompatibility if you've ever used another device with adb... you have to find the original device, put in dev mode, and overwrite drivers with that of the hero, then plug hero in and try agian.... if that is in fact your problem....
otherwise, htc sync should fix ya

what do you do?

PDAnet for android has some driverS you could try as well...
http://www.junefabrics.com

Yes PDAnet but I also had success with installing HTC Sync for the Eris.
I am using Win7 64bit.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/droid-eris-verizon/downloads/

As per crunchybutternut's suggestion in a different thread, I followed the instructions in this link: hxxp://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ (sorry, I can't post links yet)
Basically, I downloaded USBDeview and ran it in administrator mode to delete all HTC and Android related drivers (while phone is plugged in).
I then unplugged and plugged the phone back in and it reinstalled everything fine except for the ADB driver, so I told it to let me manually choose a driver from a list, selected Have Disk and pointed it to C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
After that, I just set the phone to HTC Sync mode when plugging it in and it worked fine.

right now im doing alot of sql for companies who want full dbms. But pretty much know a little bit of it all. this is really fun to play with just a lil rough around the edges. i always liked linux tho!
And back to the problem i like the eris suggestion and I did all the rest. My only thought is this why after heroc attempt***???what does heroc do at the core behind being a boot prog what could it mess up or change if not flashed correctly? Thanks guys for the love

First, make sure your phone is NOT connected and open a command prompt. Then type the following command:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
You won't get any sort of output, it just goes to the next line. Then type in devmgmt.msc to open the device manager. Got to VIEW and select "Show Hidden Devices".
Now, expand the ADB Interface section, right click on each device individually, and uninstall. When prompted to delete the driver choose YES!
Go to the HTC Website to download and install the newest version of HTCsync.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=3&dl_id=852
Once installed it would probably be a good idea to reboot your computer before you connect your HTC Hero. Once the Hero is connected make sure you pull down your notification bar and select HTC Sync or it won't connect for ADB access.
Hope this helps!

I've had this problem before but it was usually after I rooted my hero and had messed around. I've bricked two of them with the RUU trying to fix it. Don't really know why the phones bricked still. Usually I just kept plugging the phone on over and over until it recognized it.

can't use data after install??

Im a newbie here so bare with me. I follwed a tutorial from crobs808 easy step by step to intall android on my vogue to the T , i even used the suggested build on the tutorial.
I was able to make it work and installed everything ok on my device, but my problem now is that i can no longer go online or use my data. I don't know why but i can't surf the web, go on youtube, market, etc. The phone only makes/receives calls and text. My other problem is that when i connect the phone to the usb my pc does not recognize it. Any suggestions? by the way i wanted to switch to the 2.1 build from incubus26j
Thanks for the help.

Try reinstalling or even re-flashing the .nbh file?

i did not flash anything exept that one time to unlock the phone. The first and now second time intalling these builds i did not flash anything. The tutorial says nothing about flashing anything....am i wrong? If so, how do i do it? and how/when do you flash nbh?
and i did check the modem app and it says its connected.....but still no data

everything works except data.....anyone?? Thanks

Hm..i have work internet, but market & Gmail doesn't work. Why? Modem App work well,i see my ip, at browser internet work.

[Q] Help - Lost Android Market

Hey Guys,
I've updated to Cognition and it worked fine; i had to do a hard reset on the phone becuase my time stamp was wrong so i thought it would of fixed it. Now i lost my Andorid Market and Rom Manager :S
Does anybody know how i can get this back.
Thanks.

This happened to me when I tried switching my wife's and my SIM cards so she could use my Captivate while I worked on hers. Both phones lost the Android Market app which of course makes it difficult to do anything else.
I ended up flashing mine back to stock which solved the issue as expected.
I have no idea why Market disappeared. I wouldn't think it had anything to do with the SIM cards.

How would you flash to stock? I lost Rom Manager as well when i did factory defaults

Use the Odin one click at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
That will put your phone back to stock. Read that thread to get a good idea of what's going on, but here's the simple part that you will end up doing.
To use it:
1. Make sure phone is not plugged into computer.
2. Open the Odin one click program.
3. Make sure phone is turned off.
4. Hold the volume down and volume up keys.
5. While the volume keys are being held, plug in your USB cord.
That should bring you to the Download screen with the robot digging and stuff. You can then click the start button in the Odin program.
If after step 5 you don't get into the Download screen then you need to do some more research in that thread, or read the steps and try again to follow them exactly as stated.
edit: I see you're on Rogers. I don't know, but I've seen separate threads pop up for people using Rogers so possibly things are different for you so make sure you research!

Thanks for your help; once i got to recovery mode i spent some time going through the menu and found out i could load my OS from there because i left the zip file on it.
I got a little nervous since i thought i screwed up a 2 day old phone lol....but all is well. Now i need to find another Rom to put on it

I remember reading about an app that let you read your market ID # and restore the ID# after you flash. Doesn't Cog give everyone the same market ID# when you flash it?

App to read Device ID, is called Android Device ID.
App to change Device ID is called Android ID Changer.
Cognition before 2.3b4 (including 2.4.x) changed everyone to the same Device ID.
To get your real Device ID flash back to stock and use Device ID. Save that somewhere.
Then you can change it if you are not running Cognition 2.3b4, using Android ID Changer.
Cognition 2.3b4 has a script to make a random device ID if you don't have one.
If you do have your device ID, you need to insert it in a file called "udpate.id" in the Internal SD cards root directory. Then a reboot should put that Device ID back on your phone via the script.
Once you have a good device ID, clearing the Market cache and restarting should get things going again.

Well that's interesting ... I wish somebody told me to save my Android ID before i Flashed it. At least i know what that Android ID is for now lol
I did make a backup of my original; i'll try to pull it out of my phone and store it on my PC just in case i do something stupid and delete it lol.
Thanks guys for the info.

This is what I read, finally found it again.

[Q] Need some help getting into Emergency - mode

Hello,
I just got my new Optimus 2x in.
After 2 days using it and draining a lot of battery life installing apps and getting the phone the way I liked it.
The LG apps installed on it started to annoy me bigtime.
So i did the most respectfull thing every tweaker does, i rooted the phone.
Installed the Titanium Backup software and started deleting LG apps.
The deleting part went perfect, then my screen turned black and the only thing working was the kill andriod app software on top.
So i pulled the battery and rebooted, nothing.... the phone got stuck at the LG logo.
Did a Hard reset Volume down + the power button.
It started the installation --> google login --> setting up extra account --> and then got the error about a wizard having problems.
So i guess my rom is corrupt.
Tried updating trough the LG software - emergency and got the message "not possible anymore".
Tried updating trough KDZ firmware update tool but it can not find the phone*.
*Downloaded the original firmware from a thread located here.
Does anybody know how to get in emergency mode so i can try different things.
Or maybe other options i could consider?
If not i'd might considering sending it in for warranty.
But it boots so there must be a way to get things working again.
Thx i appreciate getting all the help and ideas.

Im sorry to hear about your problem
Hope u can fix it
But may i ask how do u root it? I try z4root but no use...

I rooted it with superoneclick.
--small update--
If i skip the setup part after my google login, i can force stop the wizard error.
But it does not go into android itself, i get the top bar but thats it.
The LG software recocgnizes my phone but says it's OK and it does not need a update.
Wait for android 2.2.3?
That might do the trick, but then i might have to wait more than 2 weeks

1.Turn the power off. If your LG Optimus 2X is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2.Hold the Home and Volume Down button
3.Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
4.Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your device
That's the only option, on this time.

Tried this.
It says S/W Upgrade
Please wait
while upgrading...
and then nothing.

Try boot your phone to android then connect it to pc and run adb shell if shell working put all apk,s from rom dump here.
You have to copy all files to /system/app.

I'll give it a try tomorrow, have to get to work in like 3 hours =)
Im done for today.

Actually, if you get the notification bar, Android is working.
Sounds like you just deleted the Launcher, did you replace it?
If not, adb install and new launcher and you'll be good to go. Although you'll want one on your system partition too!
Have a look in the "Safe to remove" apps thread.

That's it, that's the one i accidently removed.
Any idea how to put it back on the phone?
As described above your post, trough ADB shell?
Can someone post LGLauncher in this thread?

Download here LGHome

Thanks i downloaded it.
But the thing is i can't run adb it gives me the error: device not loaded.
Tried installing the google usb drivers, gives me a no can do.
Another thing i figured out is this: Installing LG PC Suite IV.
It does give me the device connected, but i can not update.
* Can sync contacts
* Can sync Favourites
* Can sync Memo's
But no update (because it's not out yet)
Isn't there a way to fool the suite there is an update but in fact it's just the old firmware and replacing it (making it a repair).

This Thread is discussing the same problem as i am, btw

Fixed!
Obtained the LGLauncher.apk and emailed it to my google account!
Got it out of the above link i posted.

as i said in the other thread you should use root explorer to copu the launcher to /system/app
if you dont it will be gone again if you ever factory reset.
And next time dont delete stuff... just freez it from titanium... Frozen apps are gone (cant be started by the system or seen in launcher) but you get them all back if you factory reset (so no risk of bricking)
OK... we dont get the few megs of free space by freezing... but that is not really an issue on this phone.

[Q] Incorrect Product Code issues.

So, I'm getting really frustrated and reading isn't helping at all. I know there is plenty out there, but I can't seem to find a solution after spending probably 5 hours today on my phone trying to restore the correct product code on my phone so I can use kies mini to put it back to stock 2.2 android. I followed the directions exactly in this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=880223 , all to no avail. I am able to pull my efs file from my phone and edit it just fine, but when I try to push the new edited file back to my phone, something doesnt work in the command prompt, and the window disappears before I can read what's going on.
I really don't know where to go from here. I feel stupid, as if I'm not saving the edited file to the correct place or something. anybody have a similar issue?
The reason I NEED to get this figured out is that I got this phone as a replacement and it came stock with 2.2 on it, so I need to get it back to that in order return it again, and it worries me that I can't get the product code switched back. Am I just SOL?

Have you tried super manger in market. Just make shore you mount data read / rewrite (r/rw). Or use root explorer if willing to buy it

The only two things that I have ever needed to do this is Root Explorer and hex editor in the market. Success every time. Let me know if you need assistance.
