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

i would think so, but when i connect the usb i am able to copy files from the computer to my phone, but when i run the RUU i get the message that says i should check to see if the usb is connected to the computer and the phone
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.

>> i download htc sync and it doesn't connect to htc sync, i tried running the sprint RUU and this time i got a boot loader error, i believe it told me to use the correct RUU which i believe im using, am i not using the right RUU?
if it was a bootloader 140 error, i believe there's lots of stuff in the threads about that bu i don't know them off hand.

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.

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?

Good day, I have a HTC velocity 4g running on ICS 4.0.3, rooted. Unfortunately, when i tried to view my recorded videos in gallery, it keeps on crashing saying "Unfortunately, view video has stopped". but i can record and take pictures with no issues, and also i discovered the stock music player also crashes, also saying " Unfortunately Music has stopped", can somebody please help me as this is very hassle on my part. I just bought this phone from a pawnshop. I tried hard resetting the phone 3 times but still the error appears, and also when i bought this phone it is already rooted. I hope someone expert here can help me, im a newbie in android. Thanks in advance for the help and god bless.

Get an ruu from HTC website and run it...
It will return your phone to stock and hopefully fix your problem...
Just make a back up of your media that you have on your internal sd

RUU = ROM UTITLTY UPDATE
basically a stock rom update for the a carrier/manufacturer
eg:
Official AT&T Vivid ICS RUU from HTC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1564776&highlight=ruu&page=3
[STOCK] RUU_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_BM_ for bell mobile http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662390&highlight=ruu
If you have a Velocity, you probably don't have ATT.. so don't use that RUU. here are all the Holiday RUUs (http://www.filefactory.com/f/002b74e0f4775869/) (thanks @Football)
Oh i see, so I need to download a RUU to update my velocity? do i just need to connect it with the usb cable after downloading the RUU? Thanks for the help. Its really mind boggling for me to understand any customization or upgrading a phone. Thanks for the help

if i remember correctly.. in order to install a RUU
You must have a locked boot loader ( locked by default) , so you need to check if yours is unlocked , which I suspect it is since rooted.
I think u will also loose ROOT.
after you run the ruu , its easy to relock the bootloader and root

there are threads/posts containing links to the naked drivers, and also theres an awesome one tool (sorry i forget the devs name, i think its installed on my notebook) anyway - its mostly for unlock/root/soff etc. but it has a link to dl the drivers.
if you dont get it resolved by the time i find a link for the drivers you, i'll post em here.

I accidentally posted this in HTC wrong section. There I found out this to be a Sprint one.
Hey guys.
I am back. After a long time. U guys helped to fix my HTC orbit.
Now I got another one. It's got no OS when I got it.
I am posting some pictures for better presentation.
Front
Back
The issue I have is seen below.
Closeup
All I can get to from the phone is what you see in the picture.
I need a good ROM for this.
Please advice what I should do.
Thanks
It appears to be a Sprint One
You can fix it by running the RUU found HERE
thnx bigdaddy619.
Are u sure it would do the trick.
I believe I have to update thru sync manager.
I downloaded the HTC sync manager and and tried to see if it detects the phone.
I don't think it does cause I do not see my phone android version or sense version or anything in sync manager.
I can see the Android USB Device in the device manager. I believe the USB drivers are installed. The phone changes to FASTBOOT USB when I connect the USB cable. Means the phone enters FASTBOOT automatically.
Do I still go about download the RUU ROM from HTC and try it?
The HTC sync app says it cannot find device

search a little dude, that problem has been solved a hundred times in the sprint forum
It worked. Changed some settings.
Now another problem.... Installed TWRP and restarted. Now back to square one. Same as before.
But it does boot to TWRP but not to OS.
Update gives an unknown error 115.
So removed TWRP. Now it is stuck in HTC logo with white background not black original boot logo. It won't turn off. So had to let the battery go down to shutdown. Now charging. Will try the original ROM again and post back.
sorry
Bummer
It says

Hello all, I am in need of some of this community's expert advice. I really don't know what I'm doing, but can follow instructions well enough. I just sold my HTC One, and I need to return it back to stock. I am currently using Illusion-4.2.2.2.1_beta. Some info:
CID-CWS__001
HBOOT - 1.44
MID - PN07120
Also I'm running windows 8 which I understand can cause issues. I have no access to a Win7 or Vista machine.
In searching around these forums I've found some helpful info, but I couldn't really find anything that addresses the main issue I'm having here - which is that my device isn't recognized. I'm following the guide here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082&nocache=1. I've made it as far as turning S-OFF, adb recognized my device then but doesn't any longer it seems. I cannot get a getvar because my device won't be recognized. HTC Sync won't recognize the phone. It seems I am stuck. I would really appreciate any help.

Have you considered Ubuntu Live USB (no need to install!!), just run it off a USB. it's in the FAQs of the guide.... the OS problems are mentioned there.
