T-Mobile G2 Touch Official ROM upgrade Failing/Not connecting Properly

Heres my problem, i have the basic **** 1.5 rom that comes with the G2 Touch (HTC Hero) and T-Mobile being pathetic have cocked things up with the 2.1 update. again.
Im Trying to Flash an old Rom from the HTC website (still better than the default i have), to entice the download of part 1 of 2.1 but it refuses to connect Via USB as soon as i run the program. I got it to work once and it keeled over and Died within seconds.
This is the Rom im trying to Flash:
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=775
I use Windows 7 32Bit
I just upgraded to:
HTC Sync 2.0.33
The Rom downloads as:
RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver.exe
Windows recognises the device fine, it shows up "green" in HTC Sync, Its recognised in "Devices and Printing" as Android Phone.
but as soon as I run the above .exe to upgrade the rom, it disconnects the android from windows, and then tells me that its not connected via USB. retard developers!
Now im really coming to an end with this phone, its doing my nut in.
I managed to get it to run the update somehow, i cant remember how i did it, pulling the usb out and adding it at different stages, somehow lol, and it only started, then died giving me this mess:
Comes up in "Devices and Printing" as an unspecified device called "android 1.0" with the hardware name HTC Bootloader, type ADB Interface

I did what it said in the Readme and took the battery out and rebooted, and im back to square one.
Its just physically impossible for me to get off this bloody default ROM!
please help me!

Wait, i think i cracked it. I created a Goldcard and after 2 attempts running the RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_R_release_signed_NoDriver it worked!
and as soon as the phone started the "update" popped up for the 2.1 part 1!
yeah boy!

Make sure you have the correct drivers for windows 7

HTC hero bricked .help.....

I bought my HERO just a few days ago.
Once,the system halted and I took the battery out of the phone.
After that,when I turn on the phone,it show the first picture in the attachments

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
and then only when I press the DIAL button ,the phone responses,and it shows the second picture in the attachments
I have checked that the buttons of the phone are all OK.
And I have sent it to someone to mend it,he said that the phone can not be connected to the computer,but he succeeded in flashing it with the miniSD memory card. BUT the phone still has the same problem.What's more ,the H-BOOT has been flashed by him from 1.76.005 to 1.76.007. But the problem still
exist....
Can anybody help me?...
And I'm from China,my English is not very good...

This might help...

EDIT: DON'T UPDATE TO 2.1 AGAIN SINCE IT WILL HANG ONE MORE TIME. WAIT FOR HTC TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!!!!!!
EDIT 2: BACK UPP ALL YOUR DATA FROM YOUR MEMORY CARD FIRST!!!
EDIT 3: How did I find this out? I talked to a very helpful HTC suport rep (yes they do actually exist in Sweden). He helped me do these steps and so I thought I should share this.
Ok so you got a message that 2.1 was available for your Hero - FINELY! and you installed it using OTA. And then you got a triangle with a ! in it and you rebooted and all it says is "HERO".
This is how to solve it!
Take out your memory card. FORMAT TO <span style="font-weight:bold;">FAT32</span>!!!
Download the RUU 2.73.405.5 from HTC support homepage
Run the installation.
When it fails to find your phone <span style="font-weight:bold;">DON'T EXIT!!!</span>
If you are using Windows 7 go in to c:\Users\<span style="font-style:italic;">yourusername</span>\AppData\Local\Temp
Search for ROM.zip
Move to desktop
Rename to HEROIMG.zip
Transfer to your newly formated memory card now with FAT32 file system
Put memory card into phone
Start phone holding volume down pressed.
It will now check zip fil and then ask if you want to install.
homekey for YES
After installing you have 1.5 again and can safely upgrade to 2.1 OTA

Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M)

Hi All,
Apologies If I'm posting in the wrong place.
My partner has just purchased the Zenpad 8.0 (Z380M)
When it's connected to my Win 10 laptop by USB cable only the PC Suite is visible as a CD drive. The internal memory isn't visible for transferring music etc. I E-mailed support and was advised to carry out a factory reset. I have done this and it is still the same. How do I get rid of the CD drive and enable the internal memory to be visible ?

When its connected to your computer open up the cd drive that it mounts as and there should be some software available for you to install which will allow you to interact with the tablet with software that is meant specifically for it. You can also pull down the quick settings banner when the tablet is connected and you should see a notification saying the tablet is charging or that its connected to a pc, click that notification and you should have a few options to choose from. Charging, using to transfer photos, transfer media files MTP, Install software. Something along those lines.

Thanks for the reply.
The problem I had was the software I wanted to use (Calibre) worked outside the PC Suite software that it was trying to install. Thankfully after a firmware upgrade to Android 7.0 the problem went away, and I can now see the internal memory.

A way to unlock hardbricked Meizu Pro 5 ?

Hi,
I've hard bricked my Pro 5. No recovery access, no boot to rom, locked bootloader. After many search i see this : https://forum.xda-developers.com/meizu-pro-5/how-to/meizu-customer-service-flash-tools-save-t3447678, but this is bull-****.
I test many manipulations to get something on my phone other than "Bootloader, Locked".
So i dicovered this : Press and holp Vol + and Vol - and press one time power button. We get this :

Hey there. Got the same problem. Tried everything. Nothing happens. Have you got your problem solved yet?

The same problem

Only way to solve this is taking the phone to technical service. Done it myself. Be careful tought, they will try to make you change the entire mother board (280€), but if you insist they will "find a way" to install the correct software in your phone and leave it as if it was new

it is possible to recovery via dongle ... but sn and imei can be lost
