USB mount doesnt work suddenly

My hero was working great with Modaco 2.7 rom but today after upgrading some software from Android Market when I connected hero to my PC it didnt detect the USB, and my hero doesnt show the Mound USB connection thing! it is just charging!

I upgrade my rom to Modaco 2.9 but still same problem.... I think there should be a problem related to software installed on my hero...

any suggestion?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pi3ch:
Today I wipe SD card EXT parition and reinstall modaco 2.9 rom but still my hero doesnt show usb connection. Hero doesnt detect that the USB cable is connected to computer at all!

please help!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
so does it detect your microsd card?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pi3ch:
No it doesnt, when I connect USB cable to PC nothing happen either on PC or Hero. Hero just start charging.

I wanna add that in Fastboot mode when I connect USB cable, my PC detect Hero and on hero I see FASTBOOT USB in red color. and on PC I can run "fastboot devices" to see my phone listed there. I think this shows the hardware, usb cable and USB port are fine and there should be a problem somewhere in ROM that it couldnt recognise PC connection,

any help?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
same thing i had last few weeks ago; i replaced my phone's motherboard tho. luckily it was covered. Other than that, there aren't any solutions yet.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pi3ch:
oh! so sounds like hardware problem!

I bough my hero from ebay! I have to ship it back though! so annoying! never did that before.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liden:
So the final thing is to send it back... :(

Did you send it back with stock rom?

/Andreas
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
Yeah I did sent it back.

No, it wasn't stock rom (When I bought my HERO it was a stock Chinese rom , which had no updates so there was no way I can roll back to it; so I installed lastest WWE.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pi3ch:
just wondering how did you flash lastest WWE will you computer cannot detect Hero and you can not use RUU on you pc? since RUU tries to find HERO then flash WWE rom...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kazuni:
I had a goldcard and used the HBOOT method (HEROIMG.zip)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pi3ch:
you mean you put the HEROIMG.ZIP file in root of sd card and boot in fastboot mode and change in to HBOOT? can you please help me to do that as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liden:
I also need help with the same problem... :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pi3ch:
I finally figure it out how to flash the full original rom (boot/hboot/radio/recovery)

1. if you dont have card reader or something try to use and FTP client on your Hero and ftp server on your pc (filezilla) to connect to you PC and download the files to your SD card.

2. Use Nandrioid Restore to restore your original rom. this will restore everything expect recovery image.

3. If you use flashrec to root your hero you probably have backup of your recovery image, put it on your sd card run flashrec put this time flash your original recovery image.

4. that's all! you have your virgin hero back and you can ship it back.

also you can find out more about HEROIMG.ZIP solution in this topic. but remember it doesnt work on all phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liden:
One question... My SD card with my original nandroid backup broke down..

So what to do then?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pi3ch:
I think the alternative soltuion is to use one of the generic unrooted roms from here http://android.modaco.com/content/h...-09-10-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/ and flash it to your Hero.

if you dont have you a backup of your recovery partition I attached my one. it is a original recovery image that comes with my phone I use flashrec create a backup out of that.

Give it a try I m not sure about the result... may or maynot break your hero.

the other alliterative is to use HEROIMG.ZIP solution.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] liden:
Thanks I´ll try this tomorrow!! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crebo:
i have similar problems. whenever i tried doing anything to my sdcard in recovery, it says can't mount or no such file or directory and stuffs. i tried ejecting my sdcard when the phone was still in recovery, and plugged it back in, then rebooted my phone. voila! my phone made it through the endless loop of "HERO":D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pi3ch:
Did you get same problem as I had "Your hero doesnt show anything when you connect it to PC?"
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pi3ch:
Got my Hero back from warranty with new Motherboard!... the problem of Dead USB port and MicroSD slot is fixed now... still has not figure it out why this problem happened!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NemanjaLO:
I want to port some ROM from 32B to my 32A. I am new in this Android ROM Development section, but I have some knowledge. In WM I used to cook ROMs every day (Link), also I have managed to create Hero port for HTC Niki device (Link).

I have some procedure in mind:

1. Extract system.img from ROM which I want to port

2. Extract boot.img from ROM which I want to port (with AmonRA porting tools)

3. Replace boot.img-kernel with the one from my stock boot.img

4. Rebuild boot.img

5. Build update.zip, sign it and flash

- Now, before I create update.zip I have some questions:

* Do I need to replace wlan.ko with the one from my stock ROM?

* Do I need to replace build.prop?

* And what else?

AmonRA in his tutorial, has explained everything, but his porting is just for boot.img, and I am guessing that his nk02ion_r4 (system folder) is already prepared for 32A.

Thanks in advance?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Case_:
You'll definitely need to replace wlan.ko, otherwise your wifi won't work. As for what other changes you may need to do - there's no universal way to do it, it varies from ROM to ROM (that is if you want to retain all or at least most of the functionality of the original ROM). In some ROMs, for example, I had to modify the ramdisk image slightly. In other, I had to replace a few of the system tools with my own compiled one to get the functionality I wanted back. Or remove a few files that work on 32B/G1 but create unnecessary problems on 32A (like HeroLED.apk). And then of course after such changes you may need to modify the update-script accordingly.

One thing that bothered me to the extent that I even started with compiling kernel and creating "porting packages" myself was that when porting, people often just replaced the kernel image itself (boot.img-kernel) and wlan.ko while other kernel modules were left unreplaced (because the person porting the ROM probably didn't even have them available), therefore many things from the original ROM were not available in the port. Case in point - compcache: whether we need it or not on 32A is another thing, but I believe that if it's supported in the original ROM, we should have the option to use it even on 32A should we want to try it.

I understand it's better to port this way rather than not to port at all (and I've done this myself, yes, guilty as charged), but it's still quite wrong to me to simply create "mashups" where ramdisk belongs to one ROM, kernel to another one and kernel modules to yet another one. It's easier, but it's not the right way to do it if you can prevent it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] NemanjaLO:
Thanks Case_. I am new to linux and I love Android, but this seems to be very hard to understand. Is there any way to set up kitchen (or something similar), or I need to compile from source (but I have no idea how to port ROM with this method)?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gilles1394:
Hi all,

I have an issue on a nearly brand new Hero (Orange FR).

Each time I reach the weather page (the standard big one) the following message appears:

"Sorry! The application TouchFlo (process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again".

I have to click on "Force close" to relaunch the touchFLO layer.

I reseted the phone: same issue.

I reinstalled the Orange ROM located on the HTC website (RUU_Hero_Orange_UK_2.73.61.5_release_signed_NoDriver): same issue.

Any idea?

Thank you for your help.

Gilles
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
thats strange.

many people had this issue when there was a problem with PEEP not working correctly after some API changes from Twitter.

But then Peep was fixed and the error message went away.

So if you deactivate the weather widget you dont have any issues?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] gilles1394:
Thank you for your answer.

If I remove the HTC weather widget (the big one) from the page the TouchFLO doesn't crash anymore.

More weired, if, instead of the big weather widget, I install on the page four medium ones, the issue doesn't appear neither.

Therefore my conclusion is: I have a problem with the "full page" HTC weather widget.

To be more precise, the outage occurs when the widget starts to update the weather.

Very very strange...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pobdiddly:
Not sure if this will help, but probably worth a go. My Hero was crashing several times a day, I was missing calls because it would crash as soon as it prepared itself to recieve an incoming call. Texts would disappear into a black hole while typing them and receiving them. TouchFlo would close down for no reason and many other apps were crashing every time I used them.

The problem seems to be my SD card though, I've booted into Android System Recovery and chose the option "repair ext filesystems". It's not crashed since. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pgee:
I did what you advised but still TouchFlo suddenly stops when I go to the weatherwidget (the big one). Does anyone now how to solve this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] achak:
Gilles, I have the same issue. I think it appears the first time when i installed ans uninstalled the Pandahome app. I don't know if it can help !!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pgee:
At first I tried a hard reset. Still the weather widget not working. Then I downloaded the official Rom from HTC and installed it. So, a clean machine, nothing extra installed. Still the weather widget not working and TouchFlo stopping????:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xxThugxx @ TPB:
could be a h/w problem with the radio or somthing simlar
[Hero, G2 Touch General] choccy31:
I've had problems with Open Home crashing on me and I was wondering if it had anything to do with the Weather Widget or similar app.

I have also taken out Panda Home now and may just try a different clock too and see how it goes on Open Home.

My HTC Sense has crashed today which never did, so must be something to do with a replacement home and maybe another app.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pgee:
So I must try to install another radio?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pgee:
Installed rhe newest radio but the problem is still there. Very strange is when I turn of the automatic location function and put in another city it works?? Than putting in my hometown, 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, is also works. But when I put on the automatic location and it locates s'-Hertogenbosch on the homescreen, ans I go to the weatherwidget it crashes again. So, is has to do something with the name of my hometown.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] quicksite:
I'm suddenly having this same problem, on a non-rooted Hero.

I have some fundamental confusion because, based on a battery-life-extender sticky thread at AndroidForums, the information included that the default HTC SenseUI flipclock with weather was a battery drainer due to constant auto-refreshing of weather info. Their recommendation was to INSTEAD use an alternate FlipClock widget from Android Market ... one that I believe may have been created here at XDA -- because it had tons of customization for every aspect of the flip clock -- with about 25 different clock skins, and 15 or so weather icon skin-sets.

It had been working just beautifully for a week or so, and then I cannot recall what it is I did, but it was I believe, after installing a new app from Market that upon some eventual action, i got that selector pop-up that says "use Home, TouchFLO, or (something else)" and the checkoff box "always use this selection".

I don't recall what I pressed but ever since that I have had this problem.

I had, prior to this problem, saved off "Scene" settings which i hope will protect and restore my 7 screens to how I had them, because like everyone I spent a long time getting it like i liked it, having experiemnted with multiple apps and widgets to find my own ideal layout and selections of apps/widgets.

What troubleshooting steps can you recommend? thank you
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
hi

as mentioned this was tried by kurtfhouse successfully:D so first thanks to him for this info i thougt it was not possible on the jade i have done it many times on my previous phone P3400i(aka gene) so for those who want to try it below are the details

Note : as of now i have not tried this try at ur own risk but it works for kurtfhouse

IMPORTANT NOTE : THIS IS JUST ANOTHER METHOD TO FLASH ROM U HAVE TO DO HSPL TO FLASH ANY COOKED ROM

HOW TO FLASH ROM ON JADE FROM THE SD CARD

1. Rename the .nbh file of your rom of choice to JADEIMG.nbh, drop into the root of your SD card.

2.Poweroff your phone

3.hold the volume down key and while continuing to hold it power on ur phone

4. The Phone will go into the bootloader mode, and will auto detect the rom image from the SD Card and ask if you want to proceed by hitting the power button. Hit the power button and the rom will install

Note : it should take about 10-15 mins

also make sure that ur SD card is Fat32 or format the same to Fat32 & use a smaller memory card the smaller the better

this is as per my experience using the above method on my previous phone ie gene(P3400i)
[Touch 3G ROM Development] ronp76:
Do you think this would work with a clone Jade phone?
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
hi

the problem is u need to do HSPL and from the info i got it seems to be not possible with the clone Jade so i dont think so :confused::(

this is just another method to flash the rom and u need to have done HSPL to flash any rom u want :D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] SuperToy_nc:
I'm wondering why Jade can't be flashed using SD Card like the others.

Thank you very much.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] kurtfhouse:
Uh????

Read the first post, it CAN:cool:

The other poster was referring to a CLONED Touch 3G, ie a fake

The only thing you will need to flash via USB is HARDSPL as there is no .nbh file available.

I did try to find where the program extracted the image to but gave up on windows 7, besides I wasn't sure if the authors wanted it posted anyway as the latest version checks something online when you install (in automatic mode anyway)
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
My view on SD flashing

hi

all the pros say it is the most safe to flash ROM the SD way

but im kinda scared to do it because twice when i did it on my previous phone ie gene i bricked my phone and it was a tough time to get the same back working this is just for the info of those who want to try it think u need to be a little patient while doing the same

Im still a little scared to do SD flashing :p:D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] lrmulli:
Just flashed using this method and Megade 1.53 - it seems to have worked great. This method is really good for me as I don't own a windows PC and everytime I wanted to change my ROM I was having to ask my colleague.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] Stelixus:
so you dont need all the hard spl and stuff? just follow those instructions from any rom? either stock or custom
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
@Stelixus ur wrong

hi

buddy ur wrong u have to do HSPL to flash any rom

this is just another method to flash roms on to ur Phone thats all:D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] iliano:
Very good method to flash any rom.

Really it´s good for me.

But i have a little problem....i see now only the screen that the update has complete....for more than 15 minutes....and nothing happens!!!

What have to do in the last step???
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
hi

u need to be very patient with this method to my knoledge u wont get any indication while the flashing starts just wait for about 15 mins and it will ask u to press some button i dont remember which one once it asks u do the same and it will restart and its done

as u can see from my previous posting in not confy with this method dues to some problem i had wile doing the same with my previous phone :D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] iliano:
When winished the SD flash...i don´t become any message to press any key. I see only the screen with the message that the update has complete.

I need to make a manuall soft reset and then it´s all ok.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
hi

sorry i forgot to tell u yes if u do a soft reset every thing becomes ok u see i dont have much faith on SD flashing due to some previous exp i had so i for got the process sorry :D

pls put a note in this thread on ur experience on the same so it would help the other who would like to flash their roms in this method OK:D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] iliano:
SD Flash!

My experience with SD Flash!

I have tried for the first time the SD Flash befor a few days.

I read the instroductions and i make all the steps.....and the last step is a manuall soft reset. Then is the SD Flash finished. Importend is, that the storage card have to be FAT32. If the storage card is so, then you don´t have any problems.

I maked SD Flash 2 times and i think, with this method, is the flash faster then the normal flash with a PC....and very easy.

I can advice to all, to try one time this method.

Many thanks to haree that he has helped me

and kurtfhouse for this info!
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
hi

the pleasure is mine buddy:D and

thanks for putting in ur experience on the same

this would be useful info for the others who want to flash in this method :D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] bahtemy:
thnx for all,

i have a question, is there a method to hardspl the jade through the sd card.

i tried this on the hermes using the the softspl and the nbh file of the hardspl and it succeded for me many times on several devices

so

- where is the softspl for jade

- where is the hardspl nbh file

i think we need to interact deeply with this thread cause it is very important to anyone who own a jade
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
hi

i dont think u can do HSPL through SD card as u net net connection while

doing the same i havent tried i dont know u need to as Cmonex on this

for link click on last line of my sign i have given the same their

goodluck:D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] bahtemy:
do u think the net connection is due to license issue .

if so we need one our great developers to do the job for us for free
, and no matter for some donations

but the new way of olinex , cominex & etc. isn't xda-developers way

everything must be free and illegal
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
hi

i cant help u here it is free the first time and not charged

and they are the people providing it its their rules i dont have a say in the same

it is their hard work right so i thing they can do what they feel with their tool right :D any way for any one the first time u do it is free:D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] aaiuranus:
it's good on my touch 3h , no problem

thank you so much
[Touch 3G ROM Development] Snick66:
it dosn't work :(

i rename file, booting push vol.down key - it boot to 'RGB' and nothing...

hard spl is installed.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
hi

i havent dont it on this phone going by my experience with this on my old phone ie gene

u need to have put the file in the root of ur mem card not inside any folder and it is better to have it done on a smaller mem card(512 or 1Gb is good) what size is ur mem card and u also need to format it to fat32

to my knowledge u are the first to say that it did not happen for u

and u have to keep holding the buttons till u get a white screen saying reading ROM and then it will flash
[Touch 3G ROM Development] Snick66:
Transcend 8GB micro SDHC 6-class, FAT32

many files and folders on it...

:(

JADEIMG.nbh is in the root.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] b1wyatt:
Smaller SD card

I have tried all the above and the one that worked was the 1gb or less micro SD card. it worked like a charm. but... I want to try to go to Android... can we?

I m running WM 6.5 now....

thanks again for all the advice..
[Touch 3G ROM Development] haree:
hi

i dont thing it will work on a 8gb as it will take too much time to find the file so try a smaller mem card im sure u will succeed the smaller the better

wheni used a 2GB on my old gene i also failed but it worked very well on a 512Mem card so use a small one :D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] bahtemy:
is it work for radio nbh files only , is there a link to newer radio versions , if so can anybody give us some links please
[Touch 3G ROM Development] kurtfhouse:
I have only used my Sandisk 8GB card for this, so not sure why it wont work for you Snick66:confused:

Have you double checked the filename is definitely JADEIMG.nbh?

@ bahtemy. it should work fine for radio only .nbh files

I have only really ever used this method for my Jade and my old Blackstone and have never had any problem at all, good luck
[Touch 3G ROM Development] mutimiki:
PDAviet v26 to v27.

SD card update.

Sandisk 4GB.

Works likes charm haree.

You should try it.

Of course you have to soft reset after it said it's completed.
[Touch 3G ROM Development] thatguy1982:
you can , but i am not about to disrespect the HSPL creator, i aint like that lol

Hi Haree,

I did as per instructions... renamed ruu_signed.nbh to JADEIMG.nbh > copied into the root directory a FAT32 formatted 512mb microSD card and went ahead and followed the instructions..

hi

due to some bad experience i had with this method(on my old phone gene OR P3400i)

im not using this method but many have used the same and u can see in this thread that it has worked and it does not make any difference what rom u are using as-long as u have changed the extension to JADEIMG.nbh and placed it on ur root of SD card

and i hope ur not trying this on a cloan because the rom u have mentioned is for the original Jade and wont work on the cloan :D
[Touch 3G ROM Development] tok paler:
Unless the store that i bought it in has duped me into buying a clone, then my jade isn't..
