I am trying to put my device back to stock for some troubleshooting. I follow all the instructions and it keeps telling me that it cant find my android device. I know for a fact that it is plugged in. I have turned usb debugging off in case that was stopping it. Whatever I try it doesn't seem to work.
Also tried doing it on another computer and still didn't work.
OK, have you got HTC Sync installed, if not install it then uninstall it, that should give you drivers. Also if you have it get rid of it, it might interfere with it. Also make sure you have the phone set to disk drive!
If all else fails then create a gold card, I can give you instructions if you want, however I would try and get the .exe to work first as it's quicker and simpler!
Hope I've helped
HTC sync wouldn't work as I am running CM7
You dont need it to communicate with the phone, you just need it for the drivers. Install HTC Sync, then uninstall it, leaving the drivers
I would make a gold card now, if it's not working
Ok, I am now trying HTC sync. If that does not work I will look into making a gold card.
Still not working after having all the drivers from HTC sync. How do I make a goldcard?

Yeah, give yourself some time for it!
I just hope I find a way which works because if the worst happens I will have to send my phone to HTC.

Thanks for your help. I got everything done I wanted to

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

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

PDAnet for android has some driverS you could try as well...

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.
I have had a problem develop recently and I have not really changed anything that I can think of to cause this problem but my phone will not connect to wifi.
first of im on cm5.0.5.3, epe54b and im running launcher2... the problem is if i go to turn wifi on it just says "unable to start wifi" and I cannot check the box to turn it on...
now i could go back to one of my nandroids or reset everything but I dont really care to because I would rather figure out this problem as-is... any ideas?
I am wondering if a file got corrupted or something along the way, but more-less it was like one day it worked and the next day it said nope not gunna happen haha...
You need to copy in a compatible wifi driver to go with the new kernel.

If it happens again I would recommend reflashing Cyan's rom and then gapps addon. You can do that without wiping so it shouldn't affect anything. If i continues after that, you may have to wipe and install.

hi, how is this done?
JHaste, did you find a solution?
I've download a few different drivers and nothing seems to work
Windows 7 x64 ult
I've tried reformatting the sd card and that didnt work, tried kies but since windows doesn't reckonise the phone i cant use it. I get the warning in the taskbar but thats it, any help?
trying to get some music and pics on my phone and i dont have an sd reader
Did you restart the computer after uninstalling the drivers and then reinstalling them?
yea i did, when i flashed it in the phone properties it now says its a GT-i9000? i thought i downloaded some but maybe i didnt and thats the problem?

No, once you install the Samsung Captivate drivers, if the computer detects an 'i9000' phone (or an i9000 ROM on Captivate), it will automatically install the drivers. Try right clicking Computer in the start menu and clicking Manage, or something along those lines (not on my Windows partition right now...). Then in the left pane, select Manage Devices or something about Devices. Then try and look for the phone in that list (look hard, it would be under mobile devices or something like that). Right click on anything associated with the phone and click Uninstall or Remove or something along those lines. Again, sorry I'm being so vague, I'm not on my Windows partition right now.
Oh, and while you're doing this, make sure your phone is not plugged in.
After you finish that stuff, reboot. Then plug your phone it and see if it automatically detects the correct drivers. If not, leave it plugged in and install the stock Samsung Captivate drivers (can be found somewhere in the development forums).
allrighty ill give that a try (also im pretty tech savy i got my A+ cert and have flashed a few psp's in my day so throw what ya got at me)

Great to know! So then you shouldn't have a problem following my vague/horrible instructions xD
Anyway, if that doesn't work, you can try booting in safe mode and following the same steps (though I doubt that would make a difference)...
But I do remember this happened to me once. I was also running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, but it was on my Desktop computer which I was only using temporarily because my laptop had crashed, so I didn't have much of a desire to fix it so I never did
Oh and I'm taking A+ next year... they don't allow students to take it freshman year ): (lol I feel young...)
i dunno, i think i did it but when i plug in my phone i still get this
Guntizzle said:

Okay, right click on the one with an exclamation next to it and click 'Update Driver Software'. Assuming you didn't delete the folder that had the Samsung drivers in it, choose "Browse computer for driver software", click on "Browse...", and select the folder that you unzipped the drivers to. Make sure to keep the Subfolders option checked, too. Click next and let it do its thing. Restart your computer and see if it works then. And make sure your phone isn't plugged in during this too.
nah, when i browse the folder of usb drivers it says "the driver is already the best used driver" so that seems to not work
would flashing to a different rom maybe serve better?

Hmm...
Then you can try doing the same in Safe Mode, which will keep Windows from trying to re-install the driver (which is what I think happened). Also, make sure you're using these drivers from this guide.
Oh, also, don't miss the "Disk Drives" drop-down, too. It also has drivers for the GT-i9000, at least it does for me.
hmm nah i thing something is wrong with the rom, no gt9000 disk drive, still doesnt work after the drives, i think i just may get an sd reader, thanks for trying tho
edit: oh wait thats an internal sd, hmm, i think im gonna try another rom i guess unless anyone has any other ideas?
HAHA oh wow, okay i dunno what happened where but suddenly its working again, oh well
lol thanks alot tho

I'm not understanding that last part. So you can't RUU it because your phone is not being recognized by the computer?

when you run the ruu is your phone only charging, or are you mounting it? if you're mounting it, don't. also try a different cable. also you could try downloading and installing htc sync maybe and see if it updates your drivers.

Well it would be nice if you would post how you fixed it. You posted asking for help with your problem and you received it. Now what if some other member has the same problem.??? Your post could potentially help someone in the future. XDA is all about gaining knowledge and sharing that knowledge as well.

Unsure whats going on, not even sure how long this has been going on with my phone. Not rooted...tried resetting it twice now, but still doesn't show or tell me when I have a new voicemail. Frustrating to no end, maybe a new sim card or something? I'm out of ideas & hoping someone can give some insight, thanks.

Are you sure you're getting NEW ones and not old ones?
Try SBFing? (This resets your phone back to complete defaults, even more so that doing a factory reset does)

Sure thing bud..
Oh and I recommend doing it on a 32bit version of windows insetad of a 64bit. 64s seem to be harder to get working properly with RSD Lite.
And when you connect your phone, use a Back USB Port instead of a Front one, they're more reliable.
