c:\adb

results in error: device not found.

ADB app itself is in C:\adb\platform-tools but when I try that it goes The System cannot find the path specified. I've tried cd/adb and I can get that far but I can't get to adb/platform-tools.

EDIT:

Okay, I managed to get to c:\adb\platform-tools but adb reboot recovery is still advising error: device not found. Guessing perhaps I didn't have usb debugging enabled. Are you able to suggest another work around at all? I'm happy to flash it to whatever, I don't mind losing data, just want to get it in working order again. I don't see how I can though when I seemingly don't have access to recovery or USB...hrmm, must be some way around.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethicistabdiel:
Accidental double post, sorry.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tim.smart:
You need to try get into recovery mode, where you can do a full wipe and see if that fixes anything.

Firstly, remove your battery then re-install it, your phone should still be turned off at this stage. Press and hold the volume down button, then additionally press and hold the power butter, until something appears on the screen. If the bootloader appears, you can then boot into recovery from there.

If the above fails to work, report back with your results and hopefully something else will be suggested.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hopscotchjunkie:
Your only other option to get into recovery is the volume-down/power-on combination. Like I said, I can't think why that's not working unless it's related to your missing volume button (maybe it's not maintaining a constant pressure on the button when you're using whatever to press through the hole).

If you still can't get that to work, I would suggest finding a stock RUU and flashing that. It's an .exe file that runs from your PC and will return your ROM, bootloader and radio back to stock. Obviously that means you'll lose root and your custom recovery so you'll need to do all that again from scratch. There's a sticky in the dev section with a link to a thread with various RUUs (it's named something along the lines of "shipped & test ROMs" - I'll check that and link to it once I've dragged myself out of bed to the computer). You'll lose all your data, but if you took a backup beforehand you can restore that once you're back up and running.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethicistabdiel:
Yeah I'm starting to think perhaps the down button is just broken.

What state should the phone be for the RUU, turned off with usb plugged in or turned on? Bearing in mind, that when on, all it will do is the "screensaver". Will it work in either of those states?

Thanks, will deffo research more when I get home. Appreciate the help immensely.

Guessing you mean that as far as the ruu thread. Am downloading a stock rom atm, with shaped internet till tomorrow, meh! Will see how I go. Have a feeling phone was probably Vodafone branded at stock though, so that could make for extra fiddling but yeah, fingers crossed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELN:
If you are able too install a stock-rom you can work from their than install 4EXT recovery

touch than you doen't need the volume buttons.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethicistabdiel:
I downloaded the most recent stock rom on the link above. When I try to install it though, phone off or on, it advises a USB connection error. Is this likely to be because I originally had vodafone stock and need to make a gold card, or should it still at least be recognising it? It does advise not to run any programs on the phone or anything when while installing the update, but of course, as long as my phones turned on it's stuck on the damned screensaver loop.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethicistabdiel:
http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-841890.html

Gonna give that a go, fingers crossed!

D'oh, just found out my mobile was Three at stock and not Vodafone, the search continues :).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethicistabdiel:
Gah, I'm about tearing my hair out here, I want my damned phone back :P. Stuck using a $79 Huwawei Vodafone thing at the moment and it's so so so awful.

Anyway. I was under the impression that making a goldcard would mean I could RUU a non-Three stock rom on the phone. I made a goldcard following these instructions; http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-make-gold-card-for-htc-desire-hd/

Then I turned the phone on as the RUU advises, (meaning it's scrolling through the feckin' "screensaver") and start the process and once again get a USB connection error.

What's the better process at this stage, try and take it back to Three stock? I don't see how I can at the moment, the only Three stock I can find seems to be rom, not RUU, meaning I'd need to load from the phone, which I can't due to no recovery. Or should I keep trying to get the goldcard thing to work, maybe try some different RUU's or something?

I'm open to any other suggestions as well. Had a bit more of a fiddle around with my volume down button, no matter what I do though, I can't get recovery mode. Always boots first to the white HTC screen and then starts the infernal "screensaver" loop.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxtus:
How come the volume down button be broken. When you were using Affinity Rom weren't you able to use your volume button for music. Remove SD card from phone then press "First - Volume down gently for 2 sec" & press-hold power button when it goes into bootload place your sd card back select option "REBOOT RECOVERY". I think your panicking too much just be patient nothing is wrong, i think your just hurrying it up...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ethicistabdiel:
The volume button didn't work before either. I had to manually adjust volume from settings. I thought it was just because of the dodgy plastic button on top, but using a pen to depress the button underneath doesn't work either.

Believe me, I've been trying to fix this for days now, every different way of depressing volume down in order to get to recovery has not worked. Short of taking the phone apart and seeing if I can see what's wrong with the button (doubtful with my level of expertise) then it ain't happening via that method.

Got a little bit hopeful with this;

http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ruu-downloads

But that too requires my phone to be in usb debugging mode, which of course, it isn't.

Is there anyway to force the phone into usb debugging mode using some form of hack or some such? The thing is, it is powered and everything, I can turn it on, the screen works and all that jazz and indeed the phone will charge from USB and the computer makes a noise when I plug or unplug it, the phone itself however won't do anything other than the "screensaver" ICS installation loop. I guess I'm thinking where there's life there's hope and perhaps there's some way in that state I can get it to switch debugging on, though I think I'm reaching at this point :P.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galaxtus:
The only option i can think of is "Fix your volume button from your nearest Service centre". Without that you cant do anything. I am Sorry....

Are there some advantages to use the rEVOlutionary tool instead AlphaRevX beta tool?

Are there some differences?

Could the AlphaRevX bring some bugs on the device?

I unlocked my HTC Wildfire with the "AlphaRevX" beta, the same day when it released and I wondered that if it is better lock the phone and unlocked again with rEVOlutionary.

Thank you very much.

You have to download the package in the zergRush Exploit thread, then unzip the content of zip in a folder in your pc.

Don't worry all this operation you describe are reversible. You can unroot your Arc for sure, and all operation are easy as root.

Hi Guys & Girls

Would just like to share my results with people and get a good average of other peoples current battery drain. I have just installed the HTC Battery Tool xap

and i thought my current reading was shocking.

So i turned all background tasks off and put it in Airpalne Mode, then set the test for 30 secs and the reading for "Battery Current" was -146. With Airplane Mode off and Data Connection and WiFi on reading is -192.

So i am really curious to know what other peoples phones are reading, regardless of their ROMs, as I've seen in some threads people talking about averages of -46.:confused:

Radio Hardware & Software

Ok

Just read through thread on flashing radios and would appreciate some clarity/help?

On my "About" settings, I have two radio versions:

Hardware: A.102.0.D4

Software: 5.51T.09.29a_22.32.50.10U

Now what they are saying is the above software version is proving to be the best for WP7 (at the time of testing) but yet can be changed by replacing the Part00.bin file.

I am then reading that if you change your radio to 2.15.50, this works best for EU HD2's and this can be done by Hard SPL method.

So am i to understand that there is in fact 3 radio versions on my phone?

Or does this 2.15.50 replace the above Hardware (A.102.0.D4)?

If it is a third radio, where can i find what i currently have installed?

Can i just run the CustomRUU now to replace it or do i need to reflash ROM?

Any help would be gratefuly recieved as this does get confusing to a novice. :confused:
