First of all, I have a HTC Droid DNA. I was searching for about a year. Finally I got a solution for my problem and I know some of you are still out there with no solution.

The Fail Code is: Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)

So I found a German solution where you have to go to regedit.

Step 1: You need to install the HTC drivers (Google, Samsung etc...) in the normal mode your PC will find your phone, but when you turn into Fastboot you get that error "Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed) "

Step 2: Make sure you see that error in your Device Manager under USB - Controller

Step 3: Open "regedit"

Step 4: Navigate to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags

Step 5: Create a new Key called

0BB40FF00100

Step 6: In that Key you create a Binary Value

Name: SkipBOSDescriptorQuery

Value: 01 00 00 00 (ignore the "0000" at the beginning)

Step 7: Reconnect the Phone and enjoy your FIX

I hope I helped you. I can just tell you that it worked for me. I m not sure if it works on all HTC devices.
[Android General] Psy0ch:
tried it with a S7 right now, didnt work. thanks for your post tho!
[Android General] Koehrsen:
Had the solution for windows 8.1, from a blog on microsoft MSDN. (Sorry can't link to it. Since I'm new @ xda)

But as it turned out the Datatype for SkipBOSDescriptorQuery has changed from windows 8.1 to 10. Instead of a DWORD Value in Windows 8.1 it should be a Binary Value in Windows 10 ;).

So thanks :good: Now I can connect via fastboot to my HTC Incredible S.

Ps. Google this:

[Android General] maxsteel1947:
Thank you very much the regedit method worked for sure..

I spent 5 hours on my computer and laptop different usb cables different ports installing uninstalling drivers and ADB nothing

Thanks BoBo Rich:good:
[Android General] dunn0w:
Thnx!!
[Android General] AltheDude:
Didn't work for HTC Explorer (Pico)
[Android General] ryanbruce:
Worked with the HTC Aria on Win10 x64!

Thanks a ton.

edit: Hrm. Seems to have cropped up again. Time to continue the battle *sigh*

edit 2: Got it! Thankfully I had a Win7 laptop that I was able to fire up. The HTC Aria's fastboot hardware ID is "USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0FFF&REV_0100" which means the vvvvpppprrrr is 0BB40FFF0100. So follow the instructions above but using the key of 0BB40FFF0100
[Android General] rajah sulayman:
Has anyone else gotten this to work?

My Pixel XL isn't recognized at all when plugged in while in system, but it shows up as unrecognized when plugged in while in fastboot. But despite installing the drivers, Windows still refuses to recognize the phone. I tried the various solutions in this thread, but none of them worked. Perhaps it's because my Pixel's fastboot hardware ID is different, but I can't seem to find out what it is.
[Android General] zenmatefh:

[Android General] o-l-a-v:
Thanks! I have this problem with my Shield TV Pro, will try this after work.

Here's some PowerShell code for doing the registry editing, if anyone is interested.

#Requires -RunAsAdministrator
[string] $Path = 'HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100'
[string] $Name = 'SkipBOSDescriptorQuery'

if ($false) {
# Create the path if not exist
if (-not(Test-Path -Path $Path)){New-Item -Path $Path -ItemType 'Directory'}

# Set "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" to $true
Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name $Name -Value 1 -Type 'DWord'

# Set "SkipBOSDescriptorQuery" to $false
Set-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name $Name -Value 0 -Type 'DWord'

# Remove item
Remove-ItemProperty -Path $Path -Name $Name

# Remove path and item(s)
Remove-Item -Path $Path -Recurse -Force
}

Edit: This did not work for my Shield TV 2015 Pro unfortunately..

V20 Method prior to attempt....

[MENTION=305205]texas[/MENTION]### whos still having trouble with a V20 stuck in the firmware screen ( like me) and I have a theory so I'm posting this prior to attempting it but someone please let me know if I have this wrong.

I read this post on the first page of the thread by someone whos name I've forgotten now (sorry) but they wrote....

--------------- edit: Hrm. Seems to have cropped up again. Time to continue the battle *sigh*

edit 2: Got it! Thankfully I had a Win7 laptop that I was able to fire up. The HTC Aria's fastboot hardware ID is "USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0FFF&REV_0100" which means the vvvvpppprrrr is 0BB40FFF0100. So follow the instructions above but using the key of 0BB40FFF0100 -----------------------

and based on this --- my V20 hardware ID reads "USB\VID_0000&PID_0002\5&2BF451F8&0&2" or rather the instance path does and using this I should be able to correct the value of the binary string to fit this corresponding ID for the VVVVPPPPRRRR correct? so value will be "0000000252BF451f02" ????

Im making the key and binary value now and I'll repost results later

I'm so invested in this phone both in time and sheer ignorance of what else I can do to get this damn thing out of the firmware screen.

* I've tried loading the "LG drivers from both LG composite device and VZW versions" to no avail.

*On a side note, tapping the power button brings up a "download mode" sub screen where is searches for wifi connections and after finding mine I went ahead and tried to connect 1- normally 2- removing my wifi password 3- using the WPS button to connect, all of which ended in "connection failed" so can someone explain the actual purpose of this option if there is no way to connect? or am I finding the wrong signal so to speak>?

Thanks

I'll gladly post all of my results or screen shots, (all failed so far) using ADB, uppercut, LGUP, odin, placing TOT files on the SD card, plus a few absolutely embarrassing methods but had to try something.

Please tell me someone knows a way out of this
[Android General] Masutin:
Otherwise start a *.bat file containing

REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\UsbFlags\0BB40FF00100 /v SkipBOSDescriptorQuery /t REG_BINARY /d 01000000 /f

or use this in the Run window that you can call by pressing the Windows button and R, Win+R.

not working samsung galaxy a12 same problem device description request failed
[Android General] Sheepmister:
how did u do it im using samsung galaxy a12 any help to configure the regedit usbflag need help
[Android General] ryanbruce:
First you need to find your hardware ID (might require you plugging it into a Win7 computer; this was 7yrs ago so my memory is definitely fuzzy).

Hardware ID - Windows drivers

A hardware ID is a vendor-defined identification string that Windows uses to match a device to an INF file.

learn.microsoft.com

Then you modify the registry using the instructions in the OP but using the hardware ID you found for your device.
[Android General] Sheepmister:
bro u have telegram so we can chat im noob i dont understand ur instruction

I think the first question you need to ask yourself is "what is my objective" because you might be wasting energy.

[Android General] ryanbruce:
Did you get that hardware ID from a Windows 7 machine?
[Android General] Sheepmister:
no from windows 10
[Android General] Sheepmister:
i just dont know what to put in rev number
[Android General] Sheepmister:
bro did u manage to fixed it?
[Android General] ryanbruce:
You need Win7 to get the correct ID.
[Android General] Sheepmister:
did u fix it i have the same problem
[Android General] Sheepmister:
i install windows 7 just now and still the id is still the same

Is there away to remove the messaging and the dialer from one? or make it so it wont make calls just hook to wifi inorder to use data? im thinking of setting up the old M7 for the kids to use...any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Is it rooted? If so, you could most likely remove the dialer and messaging apps completely. If not, you could use a launcher that allows you to hide those apps. Come to think of it, if the phone isn't active, then calls and texting won't work anyway (although I guess they could call 911 which might be a good thing).

I personally use a kid safe launcher on my kids' tablet that only gives them access to the apps I've preapproved.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mxx20:
As for now ones rooted the other isn't, but the dialer and text being removed would be more for my youngest than my oldest...the youngest is starting to get crafty lol
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] coal686:
Haha! I hear that. My kids try to watch over my shoulder to try to see the pin to get out of their kid's launcher I use. Speaking of which, this works great at keeping kids out of apps they shouldn't be in.

[T-Mobile LG G3] mordsith:
After searching the web for changing the main google account, it seems that it's only possible if you do a factory reset. I found something from Motorola, but, it doesn't seem to work. The instructions seems outdated and I can't follow them as they don't coincide with menus in the phone. I did something as similar as possible, but, I still can't delete my main account (in order to replace it with another account.

Does someone know if the account can be replaced without resetting the phone? And if so, please post the details.

Thanks.

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] gabripranzo:
Hi all I just bought a Note 4, immediately updated to Marshmallow, and I noticed the headphones volume was really lower than in my Note 2. I gave a look in Xda but didn't find any mod to increase audio level, so this is my solution. Of course you need root access..

Go in /Etc folder, copy default_gain.conf file to another directory and open it (I used Es note editor, which is bundled with Es file explorer).

Find the following lines:

Modifier "Normal" {

SupportedDevice {

"Headset Out"

}

Enable {

{ "Noise Gate Switch", 0 },

{ "HPOUT1L Impedance Volume", 113 },

{ "HPOUT1R Impedance Volume", 113 },

{ "HPOUT1L Input 1 Volume", 32 },

{ "HPOUT1R Input 1 Volume", 32 },

}

}

Modifier "Normal" {

SupportedDevice {

"Headphone"

}

Enable {

{ "Noise Gate Switch", 0 },

{ "HPOUT1L Impedance Volume", 113 },

{ "HPOUT1R Impedance Volume", 113 },

{ "HPOUT1L Input 1 Volume", 32 },

{ "HPOUT1R Input 1 Volume", 32 },.

All you have to do is to change the value in the strings

{ "HPOUT1L Input 1 Volume", SET THE VALUE YOU LIKE },

{ "HPOUT1R Input 1 Volume", SET THE VALUE YOU LIKE }

I changed it into 48 and it's enough for me, so my lines are as follows

Modifier "Normal" {

SupportedDevice {

"Headset Out"

}

Enable {

{ "Noise Gate Switch", 0 },

{ "HPOUT1L Impedance Volume", 113 },

{ "HPOUT1R Impedance Volume", 113 },

{ "HPOUT1L Input 1 Volume", 48 },

{ "HPOUT1R Input 1 Volume", 48 },

}

}

Modifier "Normal" {

SupportedDevice {

"Headphone"

}

Enable {

{ "Noise Gate Switch", 0 },

{ "HPOUT1L Impedance Volume", 113 },

{ "HPOUT1R Impedance Volume", 113 },

{ "HPOUT1L Input 1 Volume", 48 },

{ "HPOUT1R Input 1 Volume", 48 },

Now you have just to backup your original file, then copy the edited one in /Etc folder, set permissions to rw-r--r-- (I use root browser which is free) and reboot.

You headphones audio is much higher now ;)

[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] MTranceAvB:
Finally Found This!!! Thanks Alot [MENTION=4813263]gabripranzo[/MENTION] , i tried something different i've read somewhere the first row that contains "Headphone" & The 1st row that contains "Headset Out" in it i changed the value there of both (Left & Right) 113 to 125 & It works perfectly without any music stops! This Works better IMO. than the bottom lines that has 32 bec. When i changed the values there to 44 music always stopped at max volume.
[Galaxy Note 4 Themes and Apps] gabripranzo:
I'm glad you found the right solution for you. I think music stops when you overcharge the amplifier, I experienced the same thing with my Note 8.0 tablet with Boeffla kernel: it allows to tweak the volume, but if it's set too high (I did it because I have high impedance headphones) music stops, probably to avoid damages.

In the end I bought a USB DAC/amp to connect to my Note 4 and I'm very happy with it ;)

Hi guys, so i bought a Huawei Shot X (ATH-UL01) in germany, i checked the phone freed frequency bands and they are compatible with my country. I checked in willmyphonework.net and also this was confirmed by my operator. The frenquencies are 2G: 900/1800/1900 3G: 850/1900 4G: 1720/2120.

BUT since i came back to my country and talked a lot times with my operator, the phone is only working on E and G bands. Any idea why this is happening? Has my phone blocked some frenquencies that isnt supposed to? Is there anyway to see the freed bands of my phone?
