I have AT&T 8925, live in United States, Run on a Dutty Rom and pretty much everything else is simple. No serious tweaking or reg hacks.
So Today, I go into work, plug in my PDA, and no sync. It is charging via the USB, but not syncing to Activesync. I need Activesync, it has all my contacts, appointments, etc etc. In the process of trying to troubleshoot this problem I have wiped my phone clean.
I have tried it all;
clearing storage on phone
deleting activesync off PC (4.5) and reinstalling, multiple times
Used Microsfts Troubleshooting guide
I have installed Activesync on three different PC's and all wont recognize the phone, as if its not there, but it does charge. I also have tried 3 different USB cords.
I don't know what to do, I even stumped the HTC troubleshooting tech guy. I also am screwed since if I send this phone back to AT&T under warranty to get a new one they will see the Dutty ROM and that will void my warranty. I would reinstall the original Windows/AT&T shipped Rom, but I cant get the Activesync up or don't know how to get a PC to recognize my PDA.
So.........I beg and plead, lend your advice for as long as this thread goes (hoping its in the right place) I will try your ideas, theories, and what nots.
IT seems like it would just be something so simple......is it? Where is my Data Connection.....
Thank you fellow XDA members for your time and assistance.

Do you get the "connecting" sound on the PC when you plug the device (same one you get when plugging any USB device)? If not I'd go for hardware fault on the phone's USB port... maybe one of the connector's solder points got ripped or whatever. That's if the port isn't fried altogether... Done anything special between the last time it worked and the first one it didn't?
This may be obvious...but did you restart your computer and hard reset your phone, then try? Im using vista and ive had no problems with any roms...so it just maybe a temporary problem.
Also test this while using the back USB ports, the front ports do not connect the same as the back ports do.
When my new Tilt's screen died an untimely death, I spent all day restoring all my goodies to the replacement Tilt. The next day, went to ActiveSync, and NOTHING! Charged, etc, but no connection. I did all the steps you tried and a few more.
Then, after wasting an entire evening, I found the solution!
Go to Connections>USB to PC, and uncheck 'Enable advanced network". Plug it and let 'er sync.

ahaha yea i thought graff had already checked the software so i didnt bother going into that
I suggest u try to search, there is a search option - type there something like "cannot conect to activesync" - there are milions of threads with this problem, unfortunately I dont know if there will be a solution for u. Just try that out and read.
This happened to me and I had to send my phone in to at&t. I know this probably wasn't what you wanted to hear. They sent me another phone and gave me 10 days from the day I received the new phone to send back the old. I also had the same rom as above I couldn't even flash it via sd card, so I sent it as was and haven't heard anything since. This was two months ago. The problem turned out to be with the mini usb port, it was warped like it got to hot or something. Maybe from using in car for gps I don't know. I hope this helps.
answers and bump
As for searching........always someone has to say it, "why dont you try the search option" - my friend, I am a google allstar and beleive in the forum searching till you can no more then post theory. Now saying that, I am willing to bet the answer to my problem is buried within a post in some thread with some fabric of the entire XDA forum. Finding it though can be harder than removing bubblegum from buckwheats hair.
So I have tried a hard reset for the PDA and the restarted my PC, several times.
...no go
I knew something was wrong when I lost the "ding" every time I hooked up the PDA via USB to my computer.
I had tried the unchecking the Enable Advanced Network before but did again and reset the phone with hopes of glory today. No glory.
I feel I have lost the phone and am ready to move on. Its just so friggen hard since it charges. How can it charge, and not stream data! I fried just the right parts of the mini USB? Blasted! So so so so disappointing because I felt I really had it nailed this time with the perfect radio, ROM, Dialer, programs, software, it all.....well maybe not radio, but my receptions suck all the time anyways and I live in Charlotte NC, a major US city with great AT&T coverage.
Now.....I am still open to any ideas and creative thoughts......but how do I get a the original WM6 Shipped ROM back on the phone? If I cant get any PC to recognize my PC via USB? I am calling in the warranty people today and not speaking of my Dutty, but having a new phone shipped. I just hope not to see a nasty bill come one month or two.
Thanks so far, well done XDA forum friends,

.....I am curious for you. Two months seems like your in the clear, but I hope not to jinx you. I have done the whole 10 days thing 6 times so far since the original purchase of my 8525 in August of 2007. Wasn't until the 5th time I complained and they offered me the 8925 as a replacement. The first five were all shipped back on time, with original ROM's and valid device malfunctions. Never have I been billed.....yet........

True, but forst I gotta get my mini back in the full size adapter then find a friend with a printer that accepts my scandisk so I can transfer the file over to it. Right now at work trying to save the file to the storage card via wifi. Shall be interesting to see if it works. Didnt on phone, said not enough mem.
Thanks for the suggestion, was so hooked on USB, forgot the other various aspects of the all great HTC.

You are wise my friend. Thank you for the other software, I will try that. Funny thing about the PC, is I have tried three different PC's, all which it used to sync or try to sync with when I would just be charging. I would love to flash via SD card, but first I need the adapter for my computer, or track a friend down with a printer and correct slot. That might be done tonight. I am at work now trying to download the a rapidshare file of a shipped rom, free style, slow style, and prolly not going to work. But hey, its a learning experience.
Either way, my warranty is up in August, so I figure why not get one more nice new fresh 8925 before then. Ordered new one today, comes next week. I will still try and flash back to the shipped rom via SD tonight.
XDA and its members Rock, this is by far the most help I have ever received via my few threads.

Everybody knows that xda rulez.
Hi please help me , i'm stuck in boot loader mode trying to update my rom to windows 6.1 , i have vista on my computer .
I searched the forum but cant find any useful help.
I know lot many had this problem and have got sorted out , so please help me with clear instructions.
Thanks in advance,
shank
since you are using vista, it is very unlikely, that your device is actually stuck in bootloader mode, it was your pc, causing that error. because the device changes its identity, while upgrading, vista (and windows 7) seem to think, it is necessary to look for new drivers. maybe you saw the driver search in the bottom right corner of the task bar.
so, basicly you have 2 options to get your device back, either you get to a pc with xp and perform the upgrade properly, or you try the vista method.
for the xp way, have a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade1_WM2003SE0
that is the first step in the tutorial on how to upgrade and i bet you didn't do that in your first attempt
for the vista way, refer to this page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista
or if you want it in pictures, this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardUpgrade4_Vista_Pic
i personally never got the vista way to work, not in vista home premium 32, nor in ultimate 64, and in windows 7 ultimate 64 it does not work for me neither.
the very best you can do in your situation is, try the vista method, and either it works, than proceed with the wizard i gave you as the xp link, or get to an xp computer and start with the wizard right away.
if your device really is stuck in bootloader (still unlikely), post back, and we try mtty
got the same problem but am working under windows 7 x64 so it willl be a serious issue
neverdmind fixed worked on my laptop with xp
I am still stuck
Can do nothing. Have this message on the screen and even then I try to connect it to my Vista there is no connection.
Is it that ****ty or something can be done
welcome to the forum!
your problem starts with v and ends with a (like so many evil things do): vista. ok, that was off, sorry, let's get to the facts now:
this is probably what you have experienced during the unlucky attempt to upgrade your device:
you start upgrading, everything looks fine, your pc's RUU (the rom upgrade utility, what you used to start the upgrade) is working fine, your device's screen said usb and v2.0X and then "upgrading" but then at some point, your pc said, "wait a minute, this is not the device i am used to, i cannot charge or sync it, and it also does not respond with the usual name!" so, vista is as 'smart' as trying to get a new driver for the device, making the sounds of a usb device unplugging, and a new one plugging in, that's when your connection is lost, and that is bad, because the wizzard told you before, to "never unplug the device, unless the upgrade process is over". you see, what happened there?
vista's ability, to make driver installation easier for the user has become bad for you in this situation, as you were relying on, say, windows xp's stubbornness.
ok, you say, why would he tell me all that? i saw that happening!
yes, but now you know what caused the problem. now we get on to solving it.
there is a nice tutorial in the wiki, where you can find a driver for vista x86 and x64, that will behave like the xp driver used to, it will charge the device, sync it, and still be able to upgrade, you find the wiki entry -=here=-, and -=here=- again with screenshots.
when you arrived at successfully having installed the driver, so making the screen on connection change from serial to usb, without vista searching for new drivers, you arrived at the point, from where on you can continue, or better restart, flashing the rom you originally intended to.
but let me say, after breaking rule 1, when it comes to flashing, may i advice you to read a little more about the general topic in the link -=here=-, because i can guarantee you, that that was not the last mistake you made with the upgrading process, and since you probably don't want to start from scratch again in a few days, you should ask yourself these questions:
have i formatted the extrom?
have i resized the partitions to gain storage space?
do i have a proper RUU?
did i pick the right rom?
what about sim unlock?
what about radio rom update?
do i know how to reset a device with a higher os than wm2003?
if to either of these questions, your answer was not a clear "yes!!", but a "no" or even "what is he talking about?" you should definetely make a little research before starting over, because you are breaking hardware limitations here, doing things, htc originally intended trained service professionals to do, not home users, this is something that could break your device or at least cost you a lot of time to repair, when done wrong, so please read the links i gave you, it will save a lot of your nerves. here you are again, -=the most important link=-
and -=another link with a common misunderstanding cleared up=-
have fun reading, you won't regret it.
Well, I have a CDMA Audiovox PPC6600 to a friend who can crack it beyond the touch of the device, he was trying to upgrade to WM6 thing for that device until then there is that I know, and just leaving the unit unusable , and even then I did not find any solution for this case, the device enters the screen colors, screen USB, everything normal, just do not start any system, and not reset works, does the unit is it? That would be correct that?
If anyone knows how to help me, I thank you
Again sorry my bad English, say it is not my forte ^^
from the sound of it you attempted to flash a HARRIER, the cdma version of the blueangel with wm6.
that's a nono. it doesnt work, i've been unable to figure out why exactly.
if you reflash the original wm2003 rom it should be fixed.
Well I tried the whole procedure that I already have to try to reverse the effect until now, nothing more, resets all types and all, and when I use the program update it plugged into the USB, it does not show the version, I think he not released do not know, still await help = \
More thanks anyway =)
do you have another one? if so you can dump to sd and restore. that's how I did it if i remember right.
Worse than I have no other = \, if someone has this file and I can go =).
i'll get you a sdimage by wednesday, do you know how to DD an image to sd in linux?
Friend, you me ai complicates xD, I understand little of the subject = \, sorry, I look at and appreciate the help =)
Alright so I was trying to update the rom on my phone to no avail, always the damn program (custom ruu.exe) came up on the last screen displaying error 262 (update error) which is VERY common.
So I find in multiple forums of people recommending a certain update of the diamond phone series, I dont know why the f^*( I tried it, halfway in the update the phone went dark, and now wont turn on AT ALL.
I try the soft reset, battery out for a while, reinstall active sync, try in different pc's (win7 64bit, xp 32bit) no hope so far.... Well the ONLY sign of life is when I plug the phone via usb cable to either PC there is a hardware detected under "Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM"
I believe its some sort of diagnostic mode to access the phone, but I cannot find drivers ANYWHERE! Please folks help me out is this thing done? is there hope?
PS i tried to update the drive on the Qualcomm device to wince usb (HTC USB SYNC) and it will install, however since IM NOT ABLE to go in the bootloader what else can i try?
i cannot access the bootloader & phone would not turn on.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but sounds like your only hope lies in using jtag (which is not easy or cheap, could try a warrenty exchange.)

You could also put it in a microwave, or hook it up to a car battery, say it fried it self, then get a new on warranty
so you guys are telling me theres 100% nothing i can do?
not even with the qualcomm usb situation?

so you flash a diamond gsm rom on cdma rhodium your device is one expensife brick its not easy to unbrick it best you can do is say you charge it all night and found not working in the morning send it in for repair and hope you get new one
a good advice read read read before even trying it always be shore
threads like this should get pinned for eternity.
hah i was thinking something like that, except that i just noticed battery low before sleeping, seemed drained in morning, wont turn on now, tried a friends battery and same problem.
PS: the main reason this happened and propably similar threads, is because there are notices to UPDATE YOUR TP2 with a DIAMOND UNLOCKER which misleads us novice users! its a shame for this to happen to such an expensive phone, and i wont usually do what ill attempt, but cant repay this company $600 for a simple fix for them.

[frustrating] HELP HD7 seen as "generic device" not as WP, drivers fail to install
So i got my wp7 today...i download zune on my windows7 pc, install, connect the phone....ERROR installing drivers, the phone is seen not as a mobile device, but as a generic usb composite device...in the device management window i have two "unknow device" icon...tried EVERY POSSIBLE SOLUTION i found on the internet...worked for others, not for me...
...then i think maybe it's my pc, so i try my xp netbook...SAME HAPPENS...
previous owner says he connected the phone to zune flawlessly on three different PCs...
i also did a full reset from the settings
HELP I'M DESPERATE
anyone?
It seems that your device is in diagnostic mode (the 2 unknown devices are typical for this...)
for now there is no way back, but if this is without you hacking something or so you could let it repair by warranty...
is it a complete new device?
thank you very much for the answer...
this is getting intresting
my situation is similar to his one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937235
but that image isn't showing up on my hd7 and my two devices are "unknown devices" no shubert, just unknown device.
(EDITrobably because he has his pc set up to receive the phone in diagnostic mode, but my pc isn't)
Now what i think is that the previous owner did some tethering (he told me that), but didn't put it back into zune mode...then he did a hard reset before giving the phone to me...but i'm pretty sure the reset doesn't FLASH the plain rom, but only wipes data because it's too fast
so i'm stuck here with a half usable wp7...nice

Did you try right clicking the device in device manager and selecting update driver software, then click Search automatically for updated driver software?
Mine kind of did the same thing until I allowed it to connect to microsoft and got the driver from them.
Also you could also check HTC website for HTC HD7 driver software.
Yep, but it doesn't find any driver...even if i point it directly to the zune drivers folder...the only driver that seem to get installed is "windows phone USB device" or something like that..i have to install it manually, then one of the two unknown devices transforms into that wp USB..the other one remains unknown, unless i force it to install "Windows phone" from portable devices->microsoft...then it fails and give me error10, but still the icon changes to the portable device one...
From HTC i will probably get vague or dumb answers...like "try hard reset"
Tomorrow i will see the guy who sold me the hd7 and try to connect to zune on his pc...if it works i have to keep it otherwise he will refund me...he says he tried with hd2 to tether then uninstall the tether software without putting it back to zune mode and he says that it works with no issues...HELP
i maybe wrong, but maybe u can try to load one of those rom's for europe brands, it may re set all the settings on your hd7...
but the best will be for the first owner to show you the way he did it...
so when he didn't put it back into zune mode there is no way back at the moment..
i will tell you if i know more...
the diagnostic mode isn't set on your computer... it's on the Qualcomm SoC (System on a Chip)
The drivers you need are somewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000 here (don't know exactly where)
but that won't help you much as you only get "HTC Diagnostic Interface" as Serial Device...
so you have to wait till there is a solution....
btw. I'm stuck in the same situation ;-) (Diagnostic Mode) xD
and there are lots of other people too, so you are not alone ^^
best regards
EDIT:
@truffle1234:
i tried flashing another rom a few weeks ago, but it didn't help...
so it's better for all to stay with the stock-rom at the moment because we cannot get back to it at the moment
it's better for warranty
So if the phone is in diagnostic mode, it shouldn't properly connect to zune on the previous owner's pc,right? Let's see
it shouldn't connect normally at any pc...
ok, did the same on his pc so i got refunded...now maybe i go omnia7...the loose volume rocker and the visible sim card through the back cover have really bugged me in just one day...in any normal company who's responsible for that crap would be insta fired...i mean, didn't they produce any test device before sending the papers to production???? meh...
wp7 was nice btw
got another hd7 (no see thru battery cover, and no loose volume rocker this time!) and connected to zune flawlessly...so definetly that one was stuck in diagnostic mode
Great news, hope you enjoy it. It's a decent device and a great OS!

is there a fix for this? I feel like throwing my phone out the freaking window. ugh!!
What exactly is your problem turbo? What OS are you using, etc?
Here's what I can say about this.
Install Zune. Reboot your computer. Let your computer FULLY boot.
Plug in your phone. Seriously be patient and let your PC think for a good 3-5 minutes. The first time it goes through this it is NOT a quick process.
