[Q] flashing HTC HD2 from TMOUS - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everybody,
I'm new to this flashing as well...
I have a Tmobile US HTC HD2...
I installed the HSPL3 after getting the Windows Mobile Device Center...
It was installed successfully, but after that whenever I connect my HTC to my PC, I can hear the ding but my PC is not recognizing my device and there is no connected icon on the HTC as well.
I tried all the USB ports and nothing worked. Without connecting my device to the PC you know you can't flash any roms as well...
Any help please...

Are you trying to do this while your screen has the three colors?
If so....does it say USB at the bottom or serial?

not while bootlegger mode. I used that for installing the hspl3.
my pc didn't discover the connected device and there was no connected symbol (which you get on your hd2 on the top right side, next to 3G n/w symbol).
when I connect, it shows that as a mass storage device on my pc and the safely remove hardware sign shows up.
I hope this explains my problem.

settings menu all settings connections usb to pc tick active sync untick 'faster data' reboot the pc, reboot the phone. Should be fine.

Thanks Sam, it worked. Unticking the 'faster data', did the trick...
Thanks again.

WM6 Unknown Device

anyone get the error message of unknown device when plugging in their wm 6 phone to a laptop, happens to me on vista homepremium and xp, both up to date. this happens about %50 of the time
I bet your USB port on the laptop is not supplying enough current (borderline, hence why it works sometimes). Try one of the following things, first try the connection while the laptop is on AC power (not internal battery). Second, do you have a double USB port adapter? This is a cable that plugs into your external USB device on one end, and has a Y-connector that plugs into 2 USB ports on your laptop, thus increasing the current capability. If either one of these suggestions solves the problem then it means the laptop is not able to supply enough current on one USB port, a common problem.
I had the same problem and found it to be a firewall issue
Ofcourse it could be a firewall issue or any issues with loading of drivers and services. A soft-reset on the device and a PC Restart will solve most of the case!

Carty..
How would a PC Restart make your firewall accessible, I located the SmcGui.exe (symantec) created a shortcute, and use that to disable to firewall whenever I want to connect

hi guys thanks for the advice, however, i have since updated to vista ultimate and now get the following issues. xp seems to have sorted itsself out, however vista has problems installing the drivers for my phone. it says on the phone check usb cable and on the laptiop i get the symbol in the sys tray for unrecognised device. the phone will sync fine, just not allow internet sharing.(i am using a 2.0 usb port and my mobile device centre is up to date, i downloaded all the vista updates today)
my firewall has been turned off, but i believe its a driver issue as thats whats showing on the screen device not recognised.
any ideas?
For Internet Sharing in Vista, you need to install WMDC.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
i have it installed, i tried changing from official rom to black satin and a few others and it still does the same. the mobile device centre will sync then i turn on the internet sharing and it installs the drivers for "unknown device". had a word with the t-mobile connectivity team who took a look at the laptop and phone, tried it on other laptops with the same result. vista doesn't like the internet sharing bit. tried the usual stuff like taking off the advanced network functionality etc.
oke here is what u gotta do :
for windows vista:
-reboot computer without wm6 device connected
-install mobile device center 6.1 (the drivers ^^)
-reboot
-wipe all activesync connections on wm6 device and vista
-disconnect device and see if advanced networking is enabled (USB to PC .. in networksettings wm6)
-set connectionssettings in mobile device center from automatic to Internet
-goto networksettings on wm6 device and choose connections
-tap advanced and select networks : both set to My ISP
-connect wm6 device and wait till it finished .. take some minute or so
installing drivers and things
-when its done unplug device and reboot computer (yes again, and i am not
going to explain why this is so important as you should know by now)
-wait for the computer to boot untill it finished (vista this take 2 minute at least)
-connect wm6 device and setup proper sync partnership
-goto connectionsettings in mobile device center and check all boxes and set it to internet if it is not allready set.
-wait for the device to do its stuff
-it will strangely reconnect after a while and internet works again
notes:
kaspersky 7 : -turn of the kaspersky protocol on the networkadapter of wm6
-allow acces to svhost when it asks for it.
norton 360: -no problem found .. maybe you need add LSP to trusted
networks
internet+wmdc 6.1
double post ...
moderator remove this please
hey dajojo yer guide is great , i tried it and unfortunately, it connected for about 30 seconds and went straight back to usb device not recognised.
when it was connecting it should show up as "generic rndis internet sharing windows mobile device" or something similar.
any further assistance would be great.
m running vista home premium 32 bit (went back to it from ultimate)
Finally Solved!
Hi there!
Seems to be the same problem on HTC Dual!
try this
go to start>settings>system>power>advanced
if the checkbox "When device is turned on, do not charge battery when connected to PC" is checked uncheck it and tap ok! Then go back again and check the checkbox again and tap ok again. and the ActiveSync software will sync all data!

Titan not detecting PC...help please! not as noobie as it sounds

Hi,
I flashed my titan with DCD's 2.3.0 kitchen. (added some OEMs myself)
Everything went well, until it finished.
Whenever I plug in my usb, my cellphone does not detect my PC at all.
Here are the things I have done in attempt to fix it:
-Tried syncing my titan with three PCs and three different wires, all with no luck.
-I hard reset two times and still no luck.
-I have tried both ticking and unticking "advanced network functionality"
-On my PC (Vista-32bit) I have unticked and ticked all possible options in Windows Mobile Device Center.
-Tried to relock it with Titanrelocker, however it just says no device detected.
-Went into bootloader mode and flash a new ROM from there. It went as if it's flashing like normal; however, once i got it started up i found out it wasn't even flashed...still the old broken ROM.
All these and no luck. Normally when I plug in my USB, there syncing icon will appear on top of my today screen, but now..it remains "EV"
Any help please?
is the sync center icon in the lower right corner of your pc visible (looks like the acive sync icon). i have had this problem and shut down and restarted my computer, opened mobile device center THEN connected my phone and it worked for me.
I have been having the same problem, but with XP sp2. I have docs 2.2.1. I am able to sync with BT, but i have not been able to use the usb cable since the reflash. I have cheek all setting on active sync. and nothing has been helping it. i have notice, that location 4 has been added to my network connections. Do i have to set up an network sync now?

After flashing, you have to kill mobsync.exe from the task manager and restart Windows Mobile Device Center on Vista or Activesync on XP. Not sure of the process name for Activesync. Else, you can reboot the PC.

[Q] USB connection - Activesync Problem!

Hi.
Firstly, sorry about my English.
I am using HTC HD2 about 6 months. I was able to connect my phone with my pc by USB. But nowadays, i can't do it.
My PC is using Windows 7 64-bit.
Now, my problem is:
When i connect USB cable, there is no notification or sound in my PC. (like "a device connected to PC" or "a new hardware found" etc.)
Phone can be charged via USB connection with PC but I can't use activesync.
Otherwise, when i connect PC and phone by Bluetooth, i can use WMDC.
I controlled "USB to PC" module in my phone. I tried "enable faster data synchronization" checked and unchecked. And i checked "Ask me first..." But there is no effect
And also, i tried it in another PC (which is Vista) and another USB Cable.
And when i shut down the device, and i open it while pressing volume down button, bootloader opened but in bootloader screen there wasn't a text like "USB". There is a text "Serial".
I make hard reset but it doesn't effect too.
What do you think about my problem? May it be about USB input of my phone?
I used to make HSPL in my phone and he has custom rom now.
If the problem is a hardware problem, is it out of warranty? :S
Please help me.
Thanks.

It maybe because you are using Win 7 64 bit. Try installing 32 bit as well and see if it cures your problem.

Hi.
Thank you for your attention.
Unfortunately, i tried it, too. In another PC, whose OS is Vista 32-bit. There is no sound or notification at PC
Actually, i've searched so many topics in this forum.
And i am almost sure that my problem is a hardware problem.
Because i tried so many things in settings of PC and Phone but there is no change.
I just wanna ask you, guys, if i send my phone to service, is there any problem about my phone's HSPL and Custom ROM situtation??
So the problem is hardware problem and most probably my USP Port is damaged.
Do you think they tell me that "your phone is out of warranty bec. of HSPL!" ?
Thanks.
faulty cable or faulty usb port. search out the "stuck in car kit mode" thread and compare the symptoms.

help pls.

hi,
thanks for the response. i have already tried these,
1. changed the cable and tried different ports of the computer
2. hard resetting the phone
3. uninstalled and reinstalled the wmdc
4. restarted laptop while phone is connected and vice versa
5. connected phone in bootloader mode. it said "serial". no change after connecting
phone.
6. checked with different computers
nothing worked. still it says "usb device not recognised"
what else can i do?
would a new rom flash via the micro sd help? my hd2 already has the custom rom installed. so i guess no need to install hspl.

Galaxy S2 no longer detected by computer via USB

As per the title, device manager doesn't change when I plug the phone in, tried two different computers and two different cables, flashed the stock firmware back, and still nothing.
It charges when I plug it in and SOMETIMES brings up the MTP-Initialization logo thing, but never gets any further.
Is my GS2 goosed yet again?
Edit: Tried on my PS3 as well and still charges, but won't ask to mount the SD card or anything, so I'm back to my trusty HTC HD2, wondering whether I should sell the GS2 once it's repaired and get a Galaxy Nexus...
Hah, another HD2 veteran, it's like everyone from the HD2 forum is now here... even the devs. Anyway, may be a stupid question, but are you always trying with the same USB cable?
Disable usb debug mode
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Tried two different cables as stated in my OP, and it doesn't matter whether USB Debugging is on or off. I'm taking it back to the service centre after work today, and I'm probably going to sell it after.
I've had the camera go.
I've had it not vibrating at all.
I've had problems with spots on the camera lens.
I think I'm going to put some money to the sale of it, and get a Galaxy Nexus, hopefully the built quality will be at least a little better...
Solution is in the phone
Dear All
Following are my observations and possible steps to
1. When the phone is upgraded to Android 2.3.4 and above (mine is 2.3.6) Kies stops recognizing the phones and USB connection / Serial port connections etc get reset on the phone
2. Even if proper drivers are there on the laptop (mine is Windows 7 64bit) they are not recognized
3. Device Manager shows "unknown device"
4. Updating the driver also does not result in any help
5. solution lies in the phone
a. key in the dialer *#7284#
b. it has 4 option there..
UART (MODEM/PDA)
USB (MODEM/PDA)
c. For USB. select the PDA.if it already selected to PDA. reselect it by select MODEM and then PDA again.. Only change the USB setting.. andthen press back. try reconnect (thanks to napi1 @ androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-international/447145-sgs2-kies-not-syncing-os-2-3-5-a.html#post3484588)
6. The Laptop will start recognizing the required drivers and install them
also
Phone is not recognized by laptop when it is in USB debug mode, MyPhoneExplorer does not recognize when it is not in Debug mode
Hope this helps

Samsung Galaxy S2 GTI9100G (not rooted)

Thank you !!!
Unbelievable! Thank you soo Much!
Helps also on Mac 10.6.8
Thanks a lot mate..I was afraid that i'll have to take it to service center. This helped me.
thanks people!...even i had upgraded to 2.3.6 and usb mode just wouldnt work....
this solved that problem though..
Fantastic tip!
It worked! Now my S2 can be detected by the PC.
Thanks a million!
Doing a factory reset after backing up data will solve the problems.
Still Hasn't worked for me. I'm getting no USB function other than Charge. Its working as if the USB isn't plugged in at all.
Is there anyway of reinstalling the MTP application on the phone? When i find it through App manager its showing with no size and no options inside (clear data or clear cache)
Kies isn't working as far as the phone is concerned there is no USB connection at all.
I know ICS is coming within a few days for GS2 owners, will this clear the problem???
So frustrating.
Thanks in advance if anybody can help

same with mine. mine still doesnt work with the dialer *#7284# and with debugging off or on. ive unistalled and reinstalled the driver serveral times and nothing and this has happened to me on my hero and my sgs2 dozens of times, its so annoying =[. at one point i manged to get all but the usb storage drivers installed. what else can i do ???
Same problem
Same problem here, tried everything (to my knowledge). Someone told me it had to do with the battery overheating because I had use the charger from another phone. For about 2 days my phone would go on vibrate randomly and started the connection process (like a usb cable was connected). It could do that non stop for a few hours. Now that Im back to my original charger, it stoped, but still can't connect to my pc.
I tried on 3 diff PCs with diff version of windows...
I've tried everythin, debug mode on/off, reinstalled Kies, drivers, did factory reset, but nothing.. when i try to connect my SGSII to Kies, it writes "Current connection mode not supported by Kies".. I'm on Lite'ning rom v2.2..
If you're running a custom rom, why would you want to use Kies ? It's awful. There are so many other apps that have the same functionality as Kies (tho granted not one app that does everything Kies does) that work perfectly with custom roms.
Only reason to use Kies would be if you went back to stock because you wanted official ICS OTA or similar IMHO.
I did a backup with Kies, now my all contacts, sms, videos, music, calendar are in this f***in' backup file.. :| I have an awfull headache Or i can do a restore with another app, will it be compatible with Kies's backup file?
same problem. USB connection to PC will only charge. Recently updated to 2.3.6.
Tricky one.
----------EDIT---------
it worked ok after rebooting my PC. Must just be general crapiness.
