(Moved from development forum, newb root thread)
I recently received my phone back from a HTC repair. I hadn't used it til today as I was waiting for froyd 1.5 to come out before rooting it and setting it up. Today I switched it on and it asked me if I wanted to update the software, I clicked no. Then I followed the steps in the OP but had problems in step 5 : everytime I typed anything (including "su") and hit enter I had a message saying "denied" or words to that effect, despite the UniversalAndroot program giving the "woot rooted" message.
This is the part where I might have done something stupid - I decided to let the phone update itself to the latest software, and then I was planning to run the UniversalAndroot again. I thought that maybe UA had been tested on the latest official HTC stuff but not whatever 2.1 but not fully updated version that mine had come back from repair with. It went to the update screen and the progress bar completed, it tried to reboot but just got stuck on the white boot screen with the green HTC logo. If I pull the battery out and start again it just hangs at the same screen.
I can get the 2.73.405.5 WWE RUU to see the phone when in fastboot, but when I try to update it it eventually gives me error 140 "bootloader version error".
I tried to load it through HBOOT using kazuni's technique in his thread "A way of flashing the RUU rom extract" (sorry, it won't let me paste a link to the actual thread) but it says "main version is older, update fail". Do I need to send it off to HTC again? I just got it back! Will they be able to tell what broke it and refuse to fix it?
Many many thanks
Try the 2.1 downgrade in my sig below.
Please could you explain "The recovery can be flashed via running 'runindos.bat'."? I assume I need to install this adb program that people keep mentioning?
Also what is the goal here? To upgrade my phone to 2.1 (which was already on from the HTC repair, the OTA update just said something about adding g-sensor calibration tool) to then root it or to downgrade my phone to 1.5 to root?
Many thanks!
Ah, just seen adb guide on villain forums. OK, I'll follow the guide to get adb installed, put your recovery files in the /tools folder, but then how exactly do I flash the recovery? Simply by typing runindos.bat in cmd whilst in the correct folder?
Ah, I see, I just run the batch file from your recovery download. Sorry for all the dumb questions! I ran this with my phone on fastboot usb but it said this :
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
error: device not found
"Files copied and permissions set, rebooting HTC Andriod 2.1"
"Your phone will now reboot into normal mode, then reboot into recovery mode. I
f it does not reboot the second time, wait 10 minutes and manually reboot and be
gin again."
error: device not found
As far as I can tell nothing happened on my phone. I assume my usb drivers are fine as the RUU was able to begin updating before it gave me the 140 version error. Any ideas?
It's the ADB drivers, what OS are you using?
I am using Windows 7. I thought i read that the latest version of htc sync had drivers fully compatible with win 7 and the RUU seems to see it fine once I selected 'my htc' drivers under adb in device manager. I am confused!

You may want to build an XP workstation eitha virtual or physical. Don't be alarmed. Yes, the latest version of HTC Sync does contain the drivers. However, they some what don't work for majority of users. Sorry.
Just did a quick google - will http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx work?

Yeh, to install XP you will need an install disk, unless you download XP Trial version VHD. This is the trial version from Microsoft in virtual machine mode.

Hi everybody,
I hope you can help me because I really can't find the solution:
When I connect my HD2 WP7-device to my computer it charges, but isn't recognized.
- Zune won't start automatically and won't find any device.
- Device Manager doesn't show any unknown device or something that could be my phone.
What I have tried so far:
- Used a XP3 and W7 x64 machine (also ones without any history with a WP7-phone)
- Used a lot of different cables
- Used a lot of different USB-ports
- reinstalled WP7
- reinstalled zune
- (de)installed activesync
- I'm not sure, but first I had a dual-boot solution with Android and I recall USB also didn't work there.
I started to think the USB-connection of my phone might be broken, but when I use MAGDLR, the USB works as mass storage and I can also use the USB flasher. The Bootloader also works, so I tried the following:
- (using bootloader) restored the HD2 in its original state with a official stock ROM and original (locked) HSPL
- Installed a Android ROM: the USB also does NOT work with WM6.5 or Android.
Does anyone know anything I can try now? And Yes, I have read all of the threads of other people with USB-issues and the MS-solutions, but none of them had the solution for me...
Coffee-donation for whoever has the golden tip
Hello guys, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am facing a similar issue.
I installed the LEO70 ROM on my HD2 when it first came out, and forgot all about it. I now want to install the NoDo (7932) update to test it out (and maybe move permanently to an Android ROM eventually when I decide I don't like it). I am facing an issue; I want to upgrade my MagLDR to 1.13 (from 1.12) and ROMUpdateUtility doesn't recognize my phone, giving me the 'Error 260 - Connection' error.
I did remove Windows Mobile Device Center a month or two ago... could this be the problem? I have the latest Zune software installed on my Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x86-64) machine, and when I plug in the phone, Zune automatically starts and recognizes my phone, telling me there's a phone update available (from February that I need to install to enable future updates). I know it will kill my phone, so I won't install it. Also, USBMassStorage mode works nicely.
Any ideas?
Hi sclip,
I don't mind if you try to find an answer to your problem too, but it seems like a different one, because mine does work in bootloader/magdlr-mode.
BTW. I just installed the stock WM6.5 Rom of HTC, and USB still doesn't work! Can it be the radio of hardSPL or is it just broken?
****, after installing the stock WM6.5, it won't install another Radio/MAGDLR using bootloader, it stucks at the 0%.
I think I might haved destroyed my HD2

remember to HSPL it once you have installed your original Stock rom

That did the trick, thanks. To bad it didn't help my USB problem...
since youve tried just about everything else try this
try using USBDVIEW and delete all the USB drivers
also install it on a different PC that hasnt had WP7 connected to it before
to continue with fault testing will requirer us to rule out the PC or the phone, at the mo it could be anything.
since you have Windows 7 install the XP virtual machine and use that, i believe the VM now supports pass through on USB so it should work, i have an old IrDA adaptor that wont install on my w7 PC but it will on the XP VM

Thanks for the USBDVIEW-tip, quite a nice piece of software! However it didn't help me with my problem. Using a computer which never had WP7 connected before didn't help either...
Just wanted to post a notice of success story of getting SEUS and Flashtool working under Ubuntu 11.04 with Virtualbox installed from the repository running Windows XP. This means that it IS possible to use both of these tools just fine under Linux (with Windows running as a guest). Looking around the web a few weeks ago led me to believe that it couldn't be done, as some people (Mac users IIRC) were having issues getting Virtualbox to properly handle the X10 when it is in flash mode. Here are the steps that worked for me:
1. Install Virtualbox from Ubuntu Software Center
2. Create a Windows XP virtual machine and install Windows
3. Add your username to the group "vboxusers" in Ubuntu (this will allow the VM to use USB devices) and reboot to apply the change.
4. Create a blank filter under USB in the settings of the main Virtualbox menu so that all USB devices can be picked up automatically.
5. Run SEUS and check for updates, first time doesn't work because it installs the drivers for flash mode, second time worked fine for me.
6. Use Flashtool, etc. as you like - fully functional.
It was just nice to realize I didn't have to look around for a Windows machine to borrow for the amount of time it takes to test out different basebands and custom ROMs/kernels, so I thought I would share here.
Post a link to this thread in the Flashtool thread...
Should be helpful for others...

Amazing how i was told Vbox cannot do this.
Well done.
This is awesome. My SATA connector on the mainboard just broke and the disks attatched to it was my Windows 7 installation. Now that that is gone (until I get it fixed) I'll have to use this method because I had my Linux running on the reserve/backup PATA disk (just in case **** happens, and it came in handy now).
And I really don't want to re-partition those disks, reinstalling Windows, reinstalling Mint (Fixing possible GRUB or MBR issues etc.) So this is gonna come in very very handy.
As I'm writing this I'm installing XP in VirtualBox.
I had to reboot linux after adding the username to the vboxusers group before it could pick up my USB ports.
But else it's working flawlessly...
Original post updated with reboot instructions, thanks! Glad to hear it's working for you too.
Flashtool works in VirtualBox for Mac Users
Hi Everyone,
I confirm that it works in Virtualbox for Mac. The point was: create a blank filter for USB. I did it under the windows machine.
Thank You coverup!

I have been using it for past 2-3 months didn't knew that general opinion was that it doesn't works.
well i don't have a filter coz i use my usb devices on linux most of the time so i manually add device.
confirmed working on both virtualbox and VMWare too.........

I suppose reboot is not exactly necessary for linux. You just need to logout and login again to update the granted groups.
I didn't create a blank USB filter, because I don't want to catch every USB device.
Instead I created a filter for all devices with just the VendorId '0fce' to catch all states of my X10.
Amazing great work ,,Well done.

Hmm... Not working for me with virtualbox, a mac host and a Win XP guest.
First tried manually adding. Next, I put a blank USB rule at the top of the USB filters. This time, it successfully captured and the hardware install wizard popped up. FlashTool did not recognize the phone.
Soooo.... are drivers from SEUS needed (unclear on that)? Sony pulled SEUS for x10, by the way. If needed, has someone mirrored it somewhere? USB drivers are installed - FT and adb work fine when phone normally booted.
I'm using parallel 7 on osx lion
windows 7 runs very smoothly and it can read my phone's sd card
but x10 is not recognized in flash tool
i thought virtual box and parallel are similar
so how to create a blank filter under USB in the settings ?

I figured out my problem. It was just as I expected. A different set of drivers is needed to use flashtool to flash when the phone is in flash mode. It seems that many people take this for granted, since they've had an xperia for a while, it isn't explicitly mentioned in the flashtool posts.
The flashtool folder will something called gordons gate (IIRC). If you didn't install that and try again.
Does it really work? I just found out there is a problem for ADB working under windows 7 as a guest. It is also documented as a bug
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/6620
Given problem with that, I am very leery to even want to flash anything with that even though it is using a different driver.
Very good! After a lot of research. I was already trying fastboot, unsuccessfully, when I found this. Worked perfectly on Ubuntu 11.10 32b & VirtualBox.
One point I'd like to mention is that even creating the blank filter, besides flashing worked on first try, adb was not finding the device. I had to manually attach it, and more than once while rooting it. Pretty easy, but was unexpected and I wasn't waiting for something like that. May help others.
I still have to try filtering by verdor ID as suggested by User Name in post #10.
Thanks!

Dear all guys,
Does anybody know if is possible to use MTK Flashtool under a windows xp virtual machine (host-linux from virtualbox) in order to flash ROMS ¿?
I have already do this step "4. Create a blank filter under USB in the settings of the main Virtualbox menu so that all USB devices can be picked up automatically". But when i try to flash any ROM nothing happens. The preloader is not detected.. i get an error message similat this: "The usb-device is already in use on Host-linux.."
I would like to use MTK Flashtool on linux under a xp virtual machine
Regards.

I did not know about linux version of Flashtool. I will check it thanks a lot !!
My phone is a Zopo ZP900 and the win version of Flashtool is 4.0 on Windows. I don't know if the linux version is compatible for my device (MTK 6577).
Hello,
I am a noob in android and windows flashing.So i have only some basic knowledge about android flashing.
I have a Nokia Lumia 535 OS win10. I want to know how to unlock its bootloader and install custom roms in it.I also want to know how to enable usb debugging in my device because its not detected by the adb devices command in cmd when i connect my device to the pc.And also when i connect it using wconnect.exe usb(using a usb cable) and after I enter the pairing key I always get an error which says"Bootstrapping the device(error code 8) so i am not able to connect it to the pc install android apps on it.(I have already downloaded the required files and extracted in into a folder and I have already changed the cmd directory to that folder).I have searched the forum but I did not find anywhere how to fix this error code 8,i,i,bootstrapping the device.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many Many Thanx in advance.
i think Microsoft had stooped working on android in there lumias phone.so lets wait maybe in the next update they will make an easy method to make android apps working on lumias phone with win10.
I am trying to downgrade my Nokia 5 to android 7.1. Currently, it's running on android 9. I tried this method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...oreo-to-nougat-for-bootloader-unlock.3893053/
But Windows PowerShell was unable to detect any device. So, then I searched and installed some drivers like these
But no work.
Then I found a solution in here
nokia phone not detected using adb via windows PC
I have connected Nokia 1 TA-1066 phone to windows PC via USB cable after enabling USB debugging in setting->System->Developer Options. on the command prompt, I am unable to get the device after executing #adb devices. Do I need any specific...
forum.xda-developers.com
But there is no option called audio source, so I selected MIDI, also no work and platform-tool windows link is not working, so I searched google and downloaded this https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools, and it didn't work either.
All after this, something came to my mind.
Does Nokia 5 needs an unlocked bootloader to do the downgrading process?
Otherwise, Is there another way to do this? Like I saw on YouTube, someone is using ntool to do the process, but I don't know is it safe or not.
And what could be wrong with ADB? Why it's not detecting my phone?
Thanks
