[Q] Problem with HTC Magic Vodafone - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi folks, I seem to be having a few problems with my Magic handset and after reading through all the threads and trying to install things on my laptop, I am now even more confused than when I first started!
The thing that started everything off was my auto rotate stopped working for no apparent reason. I hadn't installed any new apps or done anything to make it stop working. I tried a soft reset with no avail, and then did a full factory reset and still no auto rotate (even though it is ticked in settings).
Also I can't seem to connect the handset to my pc..... I have tried HTC sync, WMDC, and downloaded and installed the sdk thingy but it still won't connect, I am running Windows 7. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to install a new rom, get the pc to recognise the handset, and hopefully fix the auto rotate problem? (kinda hoping that the new rom will fix auto rotate)
I can access the sdcard when mounted in the phone so I can't understand why it wont connect to the phone.
I have usb debugging enabled etc, I have read that much I just dont get it anymore! I even thought of contacting Vodafone to see if they can do an update over the air, but don't know where to start. This is my 3rd HTC device but my first Android based one.
Is there anyone local to me that could help in anyway?
As you can probably tell I'm getting desperate now lol
Many thanks in advance

Does the phone show up at all when you plug it in? Does the charging LED come on? If the answer to these questions is no, I'd try another cable, USB port or computer and if that fails I'd send it in for repairs.

Hi, thanks for the reply. When the phone is connected to the PC, it charges up, lights up and i can access the SDcard in the phone, but i cannot get HTC sync to find it and the sdk program i downloaded just confuses me. I am having problems installing the correct drivers for htc sync and sdk, everytime i try to update the driver, Windows7 tells me I already have the most up to date driver installed and wont let me change it to the one that is recommended in the guide!
I am currently uninstalling everything and starting over, Just about to re-install sdk and try to get the right drivers installed.
From what I have read so far, the accelerometer problem is likely to be a fault with the software and re-installing the rom might fix it, sounds easy on paper but in reality is proving difficult (very) I'll give it one more go and if that doesn't work then sod it, its back to windows mobile based devices for me!

update**
I have managed to get the serial number etc using the cmd prompt & sdk, followed the instructions on how to make a goldcard and copied the files required onto it.
in the guide it tells me to copy certain files into the root of the goldcard, is the root section just the bit you see when you open the card?
the reason i ask is that when i have inserted the goldcard back into the handset and powered up using vol - & pwr, hboot does not find the files, i just get a load of green writing saying file not found. what am i doing wrong?

Getting ADB working properly on myTouch3G Slide(5 simple steps)

These are the steps i used to set up my drive(may not work for everyone dont see why though)
I don't include a step for installing HTC Sync and its drivers as ADB only worked for me when the phone was on and in sync mode, also because the pdanet install wrote over them when i installed
1.Download pdanet for android Here(this will install the proper drivers)
2.Install Pdanet on comp no need for it on phone so if it fails dont worry. Have phone plugged in during install
3.Boot into hboot(vol dwn+power)
4.Boot into recovery(vol up+power to see menu)
5.Unplug phone then plug it back in
Make sure you have debugger on before going into recovery
Now you should see your device as Recovery when you adb devices in command.
If you see 2 devices try disabling(not unmounting) your usb mass storage and then upluggin and plugin the phone back in
I really appreciate it but...
Well i woke up this morning to this new thread, tried your EXACT 5 steps with deleting all traces of the old HTC SYNC drivers and software. Still a no go. The device STILL shows up twice and then disappears. Also disabled through DEVICE MANAGER the MY TOUCH SLIDE USB MOUNT. Unplugging and plugging back in does NOTHING. I am so sick of this it hurts. FOR THE LOVE OF ROOT PLEASE HELP ME TO FIND AN ACTUAL SOLUTION.
According to another person in the forum, another couple of steps need to be added here.
check the #3 post of the other adb thread for more details (I can't link yet :-( )
After installing the pdanet: install htc sync, download the sdk, then install latest drivers.
Then continue with the rest of the process
I haven't had a chance to try it, but thought I would share to see if it will help.
If it helps, we should prolly amend the first post here.

I believe you're talking about me. I would just point out that I was listing what I did, not nec the steps needed to get the phone to show up in adb devices. Its not clear you need to install pdanet or htc sync.
Both of those drivers let me see the phone in adb devices when it was on, let me issue commands like adb reboot recovery. But neither of those drivers ever had the phone show up except for briefly after clicking recovery from hboot and going away once the recovery triangle showed up.
Finally when I removed all traces of the device driver and installed the (r3) driver from the sdk. The next time I tried it, it worked out for me.
I think a lot of people are misreading the steps or being ham-fisted in their approach. This method is as much an art as it is a science at this point.

I did the same thing you did and had the same problems you had. I went to try it on my laptop which is windows vista 64bit (pc is w7 64bit). I was still having the same problem, not detecting anything and it would show up twice or three times then disappear. I installed sync that comes stock with the SD card (I had sync from the HD2 installed). I already had PDANET installed on my laptop. Anyways having doing the same thing over and over which seemed to be half a million times it all the sudden worked. So it will "catch" sooner or later. Just keep doing it. As long as you have the proper sync installed and you dont have an error with you android 1 in the device manager then it will work sooner or later. I know its a MOFO, I've been doing it for 2 days stright now and just barly got it rooted.
Good Luck.
alas it was a no go for me
I havent changed anything with my ADB since it was setup for my G1 and I can still find the device and enter commands like "reboot". Does this mean that my ADB is setup correctly for my Slide?

PC/Zune will not recognise HD2 after WinMo 7 flash

Hi guys,
Not really a noob as I have been flashing my friend and mine's HD2 for quite a while.
I've flashed Win 7 onto mine and everything is working perfectly except the pc and Zune will not recognise it. Also says device driver install failed. I had a quick search but I'm either blind and can't see it or it's not up.
Anyone able to help?
I've installed the Chevron cert but cannot get any further because of this.
I was fighting with that exact problem yesterday, took me forever to realize my sync problem was a driver install error. In Windows, go to the device manager while your phone is plugged in. It should have you phone listed with a yellow triangle on the icon due to the error. Right click that icon and you can tell it to resolve the error, or you can go into the properties and force it to install the driver again. Give it a min to get the driver installed and tested, then you should be in business!
me as well bro...
can someone pls upload the zune software here i can't download it from the site they say no available for your country , thanks

Ah man you are a hero. I had to go one step further though. I ended up having to update the intel AMT driver on my pc as it wasn't compatible with windows 7. All seems gravy now though. Thanks for the help
Ah spoke too soon, the pc now recognises it but Zune and Chevron still won't pick it up. So close..

Did you change the registry key?
I'm having the same problem, but my computer wont recognize the phone at all. The very first time I plugged it in, it did. But now with it plugged in nothing changes in device manager. The computer doesnt even make a sound when it is plugged in and unplugged. I have installed the wp7 tools and everything. It refuses to connect. Can someone help me please?
This is really annoying now. Brought it home and the laptop picked it up fine but I don't have enough space to install the developer tools.
Have the Intel AMT driver updated here and it still fails to install the driver properly. Wrecking my head now I can't put anything on it until I get this fixed.
FINALLY got it fixed. Was all set to give up and uninstall developer tools when I spotted a program called libusb32 installed. I then twigged an error in the driver details about an unsigned usb cert. Said I'd uninstall it just to see and voila. Phone was picked up straight away.
Bit more messing about trying to get it unlocked so I could change the device name but all is working now so I can finally start loading apps.
I know it's probably only me that had that little program but worth mentioning just in case someone else has a similar issue.

At last a solution that really works, thank you. I have been stuck for 48 hours trying to get the phone synced with Zune but it wasnt happening. For all of those that are stuck this is the solution. The Device Driver is the key.
Make sure you re-set the phone and re-start it and remember to re-install the certificate before attempting to update the drivers. Use the Device manager and the update button and all should be fine.
Zune will fire up automatically onec it has updated correctly and you can finish the process............mine went smoothly after overcoming this step.
Thanks again
my solution
A simple reinstall of the phone driver and the zune sw did it for me, in that order.
HD2 Leo not working on Zune
At last as stated, uninstalling LIBUSB.sys made my HD2 windows mobile 7 work with Zune. I am using windows 7 and all is syncing with HD2 and Leo. So if you people are having problems sync with Zune un-install LIBUSB.sys from your system.

[Q] No USB connection between my HD2 & my computer

I have HTC HD2,I was trying to upgrade to Android, I think I made a mistake I installed “MAGLDR113” before upgrading my Radio to version 2.15.50.14. After I installed MAGLDR113 I connected my phone to my computer and the telephone was stuck in boot mode and was never able to see USB connection. Now my computer does not recognize my phone anymore and I can’t flash a new Radio version since I have no connectivity to my computer. I tried several things but all was useless. Can anyone help me telling me how I can have a USB connection to my computer??
Thank you.
do you have tried to start and hold volume button... than connect to usb and simply install a stock rom (for example from your provider) - this must work... if not - you have bigger problem.

Answered so many times. turn your phone off then turn it on "while holding volume down.It will then take to bootloader(rainbow screen).It suppose to have a cotulla written above the rainbow screen.Now flash it with a stock rom came from HTC site..No need to sync your phone to your PC..Just flash it..Start all over again..Now you can search before doing somehing with your phone.If that didn't help you. You have a bigger problem..
Yes I tried this also but it doesn't work.
What didn't work? Can you boot into bootloader - ie switch off, press and hold vol down button and switch phone on.
You should then boot into a multi-coloured screen and should see "serial" at the bottom of the screen.Then connect device to usb port (preferably one at back of your pc and a different one that you haven't used before if possible) - let the drivers install if applicable - does "serial" change to "usb"?
Do wat d above posters have suggested then try different usb ports or even a different windows pc...For all we know, your usb cable might be faulty....Also did u perform HARDSPL before anything else?
I've started experiencing this very same thing. HD2 wont regognize usb connection while in bootloader screen. I get the usb connection sound but never says usb at bottom of screen like it used to. I've been trying android builds via sd but wanted to try my first flash but cant even instal MAGLDR cos it just fails at bootloader cos of no connection. Has been driving me wild for 3 days now.
try plugging the phone into a different USB port it should work then...
Tried that all day and it said couldn't install drivers, then just tried the same ports now and its worked. I think it was mobile device center had 2 set-ups for my phone, i deleted the older one and all seems fine now.
This is crazy, now i'm stuck on magldr and won't find usb.
I'm leaving nand now cos i'm close to smashing my phone to pieces, magldr usb flasher will not find the connection no matter what i try, so i'm staying with ****ty windows mobile. Not happy but i've been trying for days now.

I am experiencing this exact same problem. Bootloader wont recognize the USB stays in SERIAL. Tried different ports, cord is fine. What is the problem.
Before this, my HTC HD2 would just hard reset on its own ONCE A DAY! Why was it doing this?
Now it gets stuck on the white HTC loading screen. Wont get passed it. I used to be able to hard reset by doing the volume keys down and reset but NOPE... still wont load past that white screen.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you guys tried deleting the drivers using a utility like USBDeview? Try deleting anything that relates to HTC OR HD2, replug the phone in, re-install the drivers.

Of course it won't work without drivers. The computer needs drivers to communicate with the phone. In normal mode, unplug the phone, Google the application, download it, open it, click everything that has HTC or HD2 in it and click uninstall. Plug the phone in, let the drivers install themselves again. Try again.

Ok... i rebooted into Normal mode, downloaded the utility, did a search for "HTC" found nothing, did a search for "HD" found nothing. So i am now installing windows mobile center for windows 7 which should have the appropriate drivers.
Install Windows mobile device center 6.1, problem solved.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
I'm able to view through USBDeview that my HD2 is connected, however I'm unable to view/open it.. I screwed up by naming the 'temp' folder to 'copy_to_sd_root'..
The instructions confused me. I figured this was the folder that needed to be copied to the sd root... however when i rebooted the phone, I was unable to access it. Any recommendations?
SOLVED
I was overlooking the USB Flash option.
If you are still having problems, let your phone turn on(no multi-color screen), select: USB Flash, click the DAF.exe installation file, follow the prompts.
You're done.
I had this problem and I solved it disabling an option in activesync. I can't remember what was exactly the checkbox, but was in "options" and it said something like "allow usb connections" or something like this.
I just disabled it and rebooted the device holding volume down.
Good luck!
Make Sure Phone is not connected to PC
Goto cotrol panel in windows
Uninstall HTC BMP USB Driver
Uninstall HTC Driver Installer
Uninstall HTC Sync
Unisntall Windows Mobile Device Center
Restart the PC
start the phone holding power and vol dn and now connect the phone to PC. should detect and install the drivers and you should be able to see USB on phone screen.
if this does not work
Delete all the USB root HUB but keep as last option in device manager.
PS: This will cause ALL the USB devices to redetect.
Let me know if this works

No usb connectivity in any mode after flashing stock rom

Hello all,
I have a Samsung galaxy S II purchased in Israel from Cellcom.
In my ill advised attempt to unbrand, and thus accelerate, improve memory and battery consumption, I flashed a stock ROM which I believed to be the latest.
The phone works great, with one exception. There seems to be no way to connect it to PC, be it WIN7 32bit or ubuntu 32bit. original usb cable or other cable, my stationary workstation or my laptop, be it USB Storage mode, USB Debugging, that stupid Kies mode, and most importantly because i'd like to flush it back, no Odin Mode. (in win32 - any mode gets "unknown device" status like the device doesn't publish it's name correctly or similar.)
moments before the flash the phone connected in all modes.
I think i've pretty much covered all of the obvious. and there is no problem with my latest sdk and drivers as my Nexus S still connects to both PC's with great success.
SO some info - and what I have already researched.
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928, I gather that the PDA on my Cellcome bought SGS2 is either JIKG3 or JIKJ1. and that it's a GT19100T and I gather that denotes some kind of hardware specification.
the ROM I've flushed to my phone has this name:
GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.tar.md5
everything seems wrong about this ROM in hindsight but, the worst is that it has no T, and probably isn't very hardware compatible. (though the telephony, wifi, camera, sensors and anything I tried works).
The phone is not rooted as after flushing I have lost any USB connectivity. I therefore cannot try and manipulate system files, to try to recover that way.
I have tried to root with the exploit apk. to no effect. I gather it's a statistically challenged way of rooting so I'll try my luck a lot more during the wait for your answer, and report any success.

I'll try to run it as best I can, with the shell emulator, instead of on adb, but with debugging enabled.. although it's not a very East Toolkit, when I use it this way..
I'll still report any progress..
**/Edited**
I have seen no one on the internet with this problem. it's really a very stupid problem to have. but a problem nevertheless.
Any insight as to the moves I can try next will be greatly appreciated.
Any information I can add with my limited usb connectivity will be gladly shared. (my "Kies air" works so I can upload to storage that way.. plus i have a shell emulator installed..)

just the single one.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the ROM itself as I have been using it on my phone for a couple weeks now.
The problem exists between your phone and your PC, the PC is stating that it's an unknown device after all.
What I would try is to un-install the device in Device Manager, unplug the device and restart the PC and then plug the phone in again, if that does not work, I would throw in a factory reset of the device itself while repeating the above steps

What do you mean by that? The nexus drivers have nothing to do with the galaxy drivers. Only if you run an AOSP rom you will need those drivers. Not if you run a stock rom.
Am I right that your pc sees the phone, but does not recognize it? Did you try reinstalling kies? And then from within kies tried to reinstall the phone drivers?
your PC may not recognize the device after the radio or kernel is changed. what I did was uninstall every single usb device from device manager and reboot, fixed.

jamesyb0i - I saw that some people have been successful after uninstalling all usb devices, I'm challenged in this task as my keyboard and mouse are USB. I will try it on my laptop as soon as I'll get access to it, though because of the wide range of computer and OS I've tried I'm pretty sure the effort will be ultimately futile.

Lennyz1988 - I see your point about the ADB Driver for the Nexus S, but as for the other advice.
As I said, I extensively tried to run it on multiple PC's multiple OS's.
I did try to uninstall / reinstall kies, and kies drivers.
after that didn't help. I got an SGS2 from a friend, just to try it on my computer.
it worked just fine.

The problem I believe is specifically because of the GTI9100/GTI19100T differences
I'm sure as achillies400 said that there is nothing wrong with the ROM itself. BUT the problem is not with my PC's it is more likely the different hardware, and the hardware driver on the phone itself that makes my phone become an "unknown device".

My phone started coming up as unknown device. I can not find any remedy to the solution.
Here's my scenario: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372171
My guess is I might try to uninstall "new" programs that I added to the phone and PC, uninstall kies etc. and drivers, and maybe try and do a restore or refresh or something on my phone and see if I can get to "scratch" and re-start from there.
I installed winamp on phone and reinstalled it on PC for wifi, and it kept mounting/unmounting my SD card from phone to computer each time I plugged it in (I think that messed with my card possibly giving it "unknown")
Or also when I changed my Kernel may have made the phone unknown. Those are the only 2 changes I can assume did this to my phone =/
any update on your phone?
UPD: My kernel was causing all my problems. Restored to an earlier backup and it had older kernel. All problems were relieved.

[Q] Windows 7 and Continuum Drivers

Hey Guys,
Been following threads here for a while; Actually was able to flash my phone to the new froyo that was developed through this forum onto my phone- It's been a great help!
As everyone knows, they finally released the update for our phones. I would like to put mine back to stock and then do the update through Verizon. I am running into a problem though..
I have downloaded the SamsungDriver.exe file and installed it, but when I plug in my phone via USB, my computer does not recognize it, only charges it. Ideas? I am running Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks in advance!

You need drivers specifically for our phone. Where did you get the ones you are attempting to use?
Also, check your usb settings, and make sure you are not set to charge only. Finally, check usb debugging in /settings/applications/development. I have a tutorial I made up for flashing to 09 with all the files you need here in the general section. See if it helps any.

Ok, so I have downloaded the new driver that you said to, but when I plug the phone into my computer, I still only get a charging response from my phone, no new device detection.. Hmm?

I know with my phone I have to reinstall drivers everytime after I plug my phone into computer, never recognize automatically, try plugging phone into computer then install drivers, see if that works.

First, lets make sure you have the drivers you need.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I400ZKAVZW
That is the link to the driver download page at samsung, for our phone. Go down to the bottom, and click on drivers, then download the one that pops up. There is only one set. If these are the drivers you have, then lets make sure of the rest
1. Your phone is set to mass storage, or ask on connection (settings/usb)
2. (and you'll have to do this, anyway, after you check your usb settings) make sure debugging mode is checked (settings/applications/development).
3. Try a different usb port
4. check your cord
Also, when you first plug your phone in, after installing the drivers, give it a few minutes. Both when you are fully booted, and when you are in download mode. If you get a pop up saying 'installing device software' wait a few. When it says 'drivers successfully installed', or 'your device is ready to use' then you are good. But, it will take a minute or so to install.
If none of this works, let me know. Chances are you may have a bad cord. Especially if you are like me, and plug and unplug your phone several times throughout the day.
