Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem with my Diamond. When I attach it to a USB port nothing happens. No 'hardware found sound' or what so ever.
I tried several other pc's with no result. It does charge when it is connected and the phone asks whether it needs to be in USB mass storage mode or in Active sync mode. I havent found anyone with the same problem so I'm afraid it is a hardware failure?
I tried:
-Soft/Hard reset
-Several computers/usb ports
-Disable Advanced Network capabilities
Does anyone have some tips that I haven't tried already that could help me out?
Thanks for your time!!
Disable Advanced Network capabilities under USB->PC in your Settings, that should do it.
I tried that also. With no result yet. Any other tips maybe?
First, check your cable for any marks that resemble rabbit bite marks or alligator bite marks.
No, seriously, check the points where the cable goes into the plugs for any obvious signs of damage, then check the cable itself.
Maybe, try using a different cable, if that doesn't work your Diamond most likely has a problem. If the different cable works, your cable is a goner.
Although I think there's quite a small chance that that's it, it's worth trying, right?
Use the 6.1 version of the Windows Mobile Device Center under Vista
Thx for all the tips. I didn't manage to get it working though
When the phone is connected to the charger it asks if I want to use activesync or usb mass storage. A friend of mine has also a diamond and his doesn't ask this. My conclusion is that it is broken
Damn I got this phone as a replacement for my broken K850i from my provider...They will go crazy when they see me again
Hi,
I have the same problem.
My guess is that it all started with a non compatible charger.
When charging it asked for active sync or disk.
After that the problems started, active sync doesn't work anymore.
Sometimes it workes when advanved networking is off.
Tested on different pc's, freshly installed.
Complete factory settings, notting works.
If synchronised by bluetooth it works.
I'm affraid i have to send the phone back for repairs and trow away the bad charger.
I never used a 3rd party charger.
Is there a way to update the firmware via bluetooth?? Because i'm still using the old slow version...
Same problem here. I've used my tomtom USB car charger. Is this a guarante matter, or do i have to pay for the repair?
You may have set the default connection to other than ActiveSync when first seeing the pop-up.
Go to 'Settings' 'Connections' and select 'USB to PC'.
Ensure ActiveSync is selected.
If you want the pop-up to display when the USB is connected (its good when you want to use your internal micro-SD as a memory stick), check the box at the bottom. You can select ActiveSync, Memory or PC Modem from when it appears on connection but when you just ignore it, it will perform whatever default selection you wanted last and then dissappear.
If all else fails perform a hard reset!
I've tried /soft/hard reset. No luck..
Can this be a hardware related fault, or could a ROM flash resolve the problem?
Transfering video files via BT is a pain in the a*s...
i would try a flash before returning it. You can probably dl an official 1.93.xxx.xx from htc and try that. You don't need hard spl and all that for those ROMs.
I have the same problem:
no connection at all from the PC-side. The Diamond comes up with the ActiveSync/Discdrive question and starts charging, but nothing else.
I did use external chargers that also trigger the ActiveSync/Discdrive question.
Update:
Oops, it seems fixed after a soft reset.
Same problem, diamond would not connect to PC.
Solution: Warranty repair---> they changed the motherboard, and everythings is good. Everything was free.
Edit: But now I have a different problem. I connect diamond in to PC, everything is good, but about 30 seconds after, mobile center looses the diamond, and sync won't work. Any solutions?
I have the same problem before. My Diamond USB cannot be recognised by the PC. Took back to repair and now working. But one PC still cannot recognize the diamond. The service centre told me they have reset my unit and when came back, everything has been cleared. I suspected a full reprogram of the ROM.
I have the same problem
I cant have any connection to the PC
so, no solution but the service people
USB Connection ERROR
I have the same problem. No computer seems to be able to connect to my P3700. I tried DL new ROM but I don`t know where my device came from. On HTC site from HK, which is the only one where I found a neutral Diamond with no carrier associated like, Sprint , Telus, or the like, its says The ROM Code can only be updated on HTC Touch Diamond Hong Kong English Version Device
Does anybody have a clue how to find out where my device was originally intended to be marketed? My ROM is 1.93.456.2 WWE dated July-10-2008? Do the the numbers 456.2 mean anything?
Help is highly appreciated!!
change your usb wire..

I already did. The first few times the problem occured it worked. I have 6 different USB wires and they all cause the problem. When I hook up my HTC Touch, they all work well!?
Won't sync with PC
Hi,
I have the same thing where it won't sync with any PC and i've tried all the "other" fixes and I've sent it to the service people to have a look.
Thing is, because I thought it was an issue with the usb connector I thought I would have a poke around with it myself and i could see one of the prongs looked like it wasn't making contact. To cut a long story short whilst i was trying to fix it the plastic tab in the mini usb connector came out completely
Service people are now saying that I've abused the handset and want to charge me £70 to fix it. Now to be fair, I have made it worse, but in my defense it was only because a fault had occurred that I started to dabble.
I also reported to the service people that the led light under the "end call" button had stopped working completely. This was definiatley not due to miss use.
I'm wondering if this led is on the motherboard like the usb connector is. If so, can i be cheeky and just ask them to fix the led and not the usb? but by default because the m/b would be swapped out then the usb would be fixed anyway?
If you looked at my phone it looks well cared for (which it was!!!) and its not like I've hammered it in anyway.
Anyone have an opinion or know if the led for end call and the usb port are both on the motherboard?
Thanks
So my nook has just decided that the touch screen just isn't going to work anymore. Otherwise everything else is perfect, what can I do to control this thing now? I didnt have usb debugging set up before, bluetooth is turned off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CWM recovery, there's no touch there and adb is enabled as well. So you can do whatever from there.
Redited. See here to enable usb debugging via cwm and adb: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13326806/enable-usb-debugging-through-clockworkmod-with-adb
Make sure you do a full recovery backup first in the event you mess up and then find you need touch to do something.
There's some other possibilities such as getting your hands on a rom build update with usb debugging already enabled.
And then from there you should be able to force install an app to gain control of android remotely or for usb hosting.
Got OTG to work, needed to short some contacts on the motherboard to force it. Used the info from this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46186315&postcount=7 Its not pretty but its somewhat useful now, Droidmote costs but it works pretty well as a remote. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videomap.droidmoteserver
Good evening,
I am at my wits end.
I am using a Samsung S5 (AT&T)
This phone is STOCK
USB debugging is OFF
I do not have any RECOVERY on this phone
The screen is BROKEN and NON-FUNCTIONAL
I have a PIN ENABLED
I've been scouring the internet for about 8 hours with no solution.
I have tried an array of programs, unfortunately, most of them require USB debugging to be ON, which, to reiterate, mine is set to OFF, as in NO USB debugging, otherwise I would not be here asking for help.
I have searched the internet in search of a way to turn USB debugging ON via my PC, but the only feasible method (using Samsung Find My Mobile) was futile as I do NOT have an account with SAMSUNG.
I wish to retrieve very important pictures and documents from my phone,
again,
to reiterate,
NON FUNCTIONING SCREEN, USB DEBUG IS OFF, PHONE IS STOCK, NO RECOVERY, NO SAMSUNG ACCOUNT AND IS PIN PROTECTED.
Is there any other way I can retrieve my files?
The only other method that may work is using a mini HDMI (will be purchasing soon) so I can display my phone onto another screen, and hopefully unlock the pin with a keyboard.
Please, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thank you very very much in advance.

Oh jeez... looks like you've really got yourself in a pickle here.
Unfortunately there isn't another way to retrieve your photos without a functioning screen (you can buy a new LCD assembly for about $150 on iFixit but you'd have to install it). The HDMI tactic should work, but otherwise you're pretty screwed D:
Let this be a lesson to others to ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR STUFF. That or use an external SD when you can :3
Sorry I couldn't be of much more help than that.

I appreciate your response, and I hope you can help me get out of this salty pickle
I may have to go the route of replacing the lcd assembly if finances allow (broke as a joke, right now)
So, I finally tracked down an MHL cable, and this is where I am stuck. I am able to output the screen onto my tv, however, I cannot interact with it when I plug a USB mouse or keyboard into the TV (the TV does not state incompatibility, however it said 'device unsupported' when I plugged in a ps3 controller [for poops and giggles, and with a little hope it would work] so that tells me the keyboard and mouse should work.
This is such a tease seeing my phones display, without being able to do anything. Oh my gosh.
I feel like I'm doing something wrong, and possibly a very obvious error I'm overlooking.
Thank you.

I have installed all drivers i could fine. Whenever i plug the watch into my pc it doesn't even make the chime sound, nor does the device show up in device manager.
Can someone please help me, i just got my watch two days ago and would like to enable more cores because mines quite laggy on android wear 2.0.
If you have enabeld USB Debugging ?
This you can do in the Developers Options.
If you dont see Developers Options under SETTINGs then you must first enable the Developer Options...
To do this ...
Go to SETTINGS there in Devices Info and then TAP 7 times at Buildnumber... after this go back to Settings and you see the Developers Options and there you can enable USB Debugging
Sorry for my bad english...
i have already done that also. ive tried about everything i can fine. the dock charges the watch just fine, i have also tried different usb cords. is there any way to adb over wifi?

Hey did you found any solution?
I am on the same boat, the watch can charge and works (laggy) fine, but I am unable to let it be recognize in any way.
I tried same USB cord with several phones and it's ok, but the watch cannot be in any way recognized...
Someone please help us out lmao, the watch is so damn laggy and battery is awful.
I managed to do adb over wifi on the watch, but obivously this do not help with unlocking bootloader or anything in fastboot mode..

Did you all download and try the latest adb? I was having this same issue and turned out that once I updated the adb from the Android sdk, everything worked perfectly.
Uhm, I'll try thank you!
I downloaded all the driver I could get, even from official android.com site, but still the issue is same:
When I plug USB cable in the PC, I get no chime sound or request of anything: tried putting the watch on cradle in standard running mode, in fastboot mode, or in recovery or even powered off.
Same result: no reaction from PC at all.
Tried connecting various phones with same cable as the watch cradle usb cable, everytime the driver kick-in and phone is detected and system either use Google USB driver or ask for drivers.
I read somewhere on the internet that if phone is not connected with Wear app the smartwatch is not connected? But how to do that if the watch is in fastboot mode for unlocking?
Btw I also found that the system update was to version NXG47C and now the fastboot menù is indicating that bootloader is version LENOK22b (secure boot is enabled in green and lock state is locked).
I am lost, even the SDK Android drivers did not change a thing, but more than anything else I do not get why PC do nothing (not even chime sound) when plugging in, my cradle is original and all things come from its box from 2014..I never tried before connection so I do not know if that was working before, but I am starting to think I need a new cradle maybe...

I have 2 cradles (that -same thing as you- work with anything else instantly) and since the NXG47C/LENOK22b combo simply do not work, so it seems it isn't a cradle problem. :crying:

Sadly, no.
I was just looking to cradle options but what you are reporting here now makes me believing that really, it's something else...but probably only LG knows why they did that...Only reason I can think of, is to make us users purchase newer models locking out features that make it still good with AW 2.0
It's really a pity.
My only other idea is to try with a different OS, as atm I got only Win 10 64bit Creator Update , but I could use a old HDD and try with a Win 7 32bit...but it's a LOOOOOOOOONG shot as from my experience at least the chime sound should be there...:crying:
Oh! Different OS - I forgot to mention it before, sorry: I tried on Windows 10 and MacOS.
Again, both work fine with other Android USB-debugging-active devices.
Sorry for adding more bad news to an already bad story.. :/
I would have guessed this, sadly.
Well, this means something needs to be found to reactivate the fastboot connection from the devs...meanwhile, I found that the old dev options to lower the scale of the animations improves a bit the slugginess of the watch...
Let's hope someone notices this thread and find a way to help us out, as I'm 100% no-dev...

Exactly same thing about me. USB plugged in and nothing happen, I tried win 10 OS and win7 - same problem - I also thought it is cradle problem, I almost bought a new one but after you wrote I dont't think I could help look we are stucked with AW2.0 and only thing is hope someone will find solution for this...
I am still stuck on this situation, no way to make watch try the USB connection.
Could it be possible that the latest update disabled the USB ADB?
Can someone confirm if the USB ADB files are still in the package?
And if not, is it possible to add them back using for example ADB over wifi, through maybe the original recovery if not possible with system running?

It is really anointing when some other users write about downgrade without problems. I'm thinking how is it possible, so everyone got the same version of AW2.0, it is really weird
I have 2.0 on gwr and my win 8 recognised them. I just installed adb usb drivers in same way as I did for Huatch: as Motorola android sooner composite adb interface.
Where do I find these famous motorola android sooner drivers for w7 x64?

Probably installed with drivers for motorola phone. The thing is I did not install this exact adb driver on purpose. I found it as I was trying out anything to make the watch connect to PC. It was a pure luck.
same thing happen to me!
I thought it was the cradle, I have 3 cradles, though all is not original, all fail. so I though the cradle only can charge. But I vaguely remember I once using it to flash, but my memory is not so reliable, so it can be the original or the 'not original'.
I can connect ADB using the bluetooth debug mode and go to fastboot, but even in fastboot mode, my pc still cannot detect the watch.
I've posted unit information and an update to my github https://github.com/superdavex/Sony-XAV-AX100 that can disable the caution screen message. I'm just getting started documenting the unit, but, the basic info is there. I've tested this update on a couple of units, but, there is always a danger in installing a firmware that something could go wrong. I have also been able to enable the UART serial console and the first USB port (USB 0). These require soldering on a connector. The system is pretty much wide open and we have full kernel source so there is not much that we can't change on it. The change that that is disabling the caution screen warning is just sending a dbus touch event. It works fine, but, there are possibly better ways to do that. Use at your own risk.

So, if I understand correctly, you would place these files on the root of a usb drive, connect it to the radio and run the update? But we need to make sure to be on fw 1.02.06.0 first correct?
It sounds like you have full access to the system, does that mean you can customize the UI?

Yeah, you copy all of the files in to a folder named update at the root of the drive. Pretty much the same as Sony's update.
I do have full access. A few things are controlled by config, but, most is compiled in QT. What are you looking to change?
It drives me absolutely nuts that the song information scrolls under the preset buttons when listening to the radio. Can the presets be changed to just display the station, ie 104.1 or 97.3, etc.

That is pretty annoying. There are some config items for station names. I'll take a look at it.
Wow, that's absolute fantastic. I'll definitely give it a try.
Do you think you can do something about Bluetooth connection? I've sometimes problems while speaking. There are distortions where I don't know, where they come from.
One question: is it possible to go back to official software after flashing yours? Just for the case....

I can take a look at the bt config and see if there is anything that might be related. That's pretty tough to track down without logs. Once you update I can send you a script that you can put on your usb drive and every time you insert it it will dump your logs out.
Yes, you can always reflash the stock update and the changes are gone.
Ok, sounds great.
I will update this weekend.
We can talk about the logfiles then, so I can see when I have to plug the USB device on it.
Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for the awesome hard work on this!
I have a USB Type C cable connected to my unit and it's somewhat of a pain to open several car panels to gain access to the back of the unit... Do you know if I can put the "update" folder on my phone (LG V20 with USB Type C port, which I use with this unit every day), and connect my phone to the cable, put phone in File Transfer Mode and the update will work?

I tried it on my Xperia with Nougat and it didn't work. With the radio booted it only wants to launch AA, even when selecting file transfer. With the radio in U-Boot it scans the phone and finds 2 devices, but, doesn't recognize either of them as storage devices. It did work with my USB-C SSD drive though.

Unless your phones USB storage mode is different than mine it wouldn't work. AA was getting in the way when I was in the radio OS, but, when I was in U-Boot where the firmware is updated it wasn't. I could scan the USB device and it found it, but, even in USB storage mode it did not detect it as a usable storage device.
One option would be to pick up something like this https://www.amazon.com/Female-Cable-Macbook-Tablet-Mobile/dp/B00WJP3G14
You could also make one pretty easily if you have a spare usb c female cable.

Interesting, that's almost identical to the Kenwood headunit I pulled apart.
I should try the same trick to get rid of the warning on that.
Thanks! I've just purchased my unit, this warning already bugs me.
Thanks to you I didn't have to put up with it for long! It's gone!
Dang. Seems that my USB stick isn't good anymore.
Copied the whole update folder to it, applied it to the radio USB, start the car and nothing happened. Could be, that the radio doesn't recognized it.

With the USB stick in, when you go to settings/firmware does the update button become enabled? If so, when you click it are you getting a not compatible error? Also are you on firmware 1.06 now?
Ah, scratch that please. Seems, that I was too dumb.
I've had another radio where I've had to plug in the stick and start the car to make an update.
Seems that I've totally forgotten the update button.
Now everything is fine. Works!
Many thanks to you!

I have a few that are like that as well. Glad you got it working.
Thank you superdave for this great update! Finally that annoying warning is gone Do you reckon it would be possible to add a button on the homescreen or the menu to switch the dim mode to on/off? Also, can I download the decrypted firmware from somewhere (or is there an easy way to decrypt it myself)?

Good idea!
I recommend every Android Auto user to download OBD2AA. A real benefit for those systems. There is night / day theme with sunrise and sunsettime. Is this what you search?
