[EVO 4G Android Development] skydeaner:
oddly enough mine usb worked for a month and then quit working.

It only stopped working on one of my 8 computers.

It stopped working with any of the 6 cords i have, but again only on that one computer.

After doing everything and formating the computer and reinstalling windows 7 64 ultimate fresh install of android sdk and all drivers, it still didn't work.

Reading here i figured out that the SD card and the USB could be related.

I powered down my phone, took the sd card out while it was powered down. Booted the phone up. It still didn't work.

Powered down the phone, reinstalled said sd card. Powered the phone up, everything works perfectly now.

I did all these steps with the phone plugged into the computer the entire time, in case anyone wants to try to replicated them.

Well now i have a fresh install of windows woohoo lol. Oh yeah, i never formatted the sd card or anything either, it still has all my info on it that it had before. Very strange this phone... very strange.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
same issue, still won't charge when the phone is on.

damn, this didn't work!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
damn, must be different, tried two different cables, two different computers, same results. the phone still wont charge when it's turned on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
yes had the same issue where it was waiting for device.

now, its either one or the other, dont exactly remember...but

while on the recovery screen, just choose "reboot"...or

get back to HBOOT and choose reboot.

worked for us.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evo4gx:
Had 3 problems after rooting and attempting to update PRI.

* SD Card empty​

* USB not charging​

* Bluetooth does not turn on​

Followed this fix to the letter, after 3 tries, SD Card was still not fixed. Decided to physically remove the card, re-insert it, then reboot the phone. Now SD Card is back.

USB fix worked first time, ran into "Not Permitted!" error on running reboot, simply powered down and powered up manually. Now all is fixed, including the Bluetooth.

Now I'm trying to remove some Sprint.apk from /system, but getting read-only error. Did I lose my NAND unlock in the process? How do I confirm I have NAND unlocked? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
we can confirm this fix corrected the sd card mounting issue, the usb issue, and the bluetooth not working.

BIZARRE...returned from trip, tried the OEM/included cable and everything works fine - adb shell works fine, sd card recognized...wondering if I should try the fastboot fix just in case?

The only thing that doesn't work is the generic wall charger. Otherwise we are back in business.

OEM cable + wall attachment key? Wow...
[EVO 4G Android Development] kbone213:
As some earlier have stated, I too am also having the issue where my computer is not recognizing the phone enough for fastboot to work (getting "< waiting for device >").

I have worked out the issues earlier with my computer not recognizing the phone prior to having the SD/USB issues. So my computer/drivers is not the issue here.

I need my computer to recognize my phone in order to be able to use the "fastboot enableqxdm 0" command. Has anyone been able to figure this out yet?

USB not working, newbie with some questions Evo 4G

Greetings. This is post #2 for me, a complete newbie.

I knew nothing about rooting until I got my Evo 4g and started following the instructions found on this website. Simple root didn't root the phone permanently, and many methods were tried. Now I can load mods, get into recovery and have su permissions, but no normal usb connections to pc, which has sdk installed, and drivers do work WHEN I'm in HBOOT ONLY.

I have tried the connectbot commands from page one of this thread, and if I reload a stock rom have worked, but only for one time, but on the next attempt to connect to pc there's no more usb, other than a momentary connect sound followed by a disconnect sound.

I got into HBOOT and it connected to pc. I ran "fastboot oem boot", and suddently the pc window opens with my sdcard files visible. When I unplugged the cable and replugged, back to square one with only momentary usb recognition from pc.

Usb will charge with wall charger, but not car charger unless phone is off.

Otherwise I'm loving this phone! its fast and lots of fun.

Below are the results of the "fastbook oem boot" if anyone sees a clue as to why usb is not working:

To get files onto SDcard when usb not working!

You don't have to go out and buy a sdcard reader. Go to Android Market and get HomePipe Free. It connects wirelssly to your computer and lets you see and download files from your computer. It only took seconds today to download flash_image.bin and mtd-eng.img onto the card after I formatted it: another attempt to fix the usb problem that didn't work.

Anyway, Homepipe rocks.

Note:for some reason Homepipe can't see one folder on my pc, and the developers are working on helping me figure out why.

it was a lifesaver (timesaver too).

[EVO 4G Android Development] tranquilchaos:
Can someone please help me with the SD CARD FIX using a MAC. My phone's rooted, and been running CM6 nightly's for a while now.

I'm working on a MAC so I'm hoping someone with experience doing this on a Mac can help.

My evo's sd card is not recognized by the phone, but when inserted into an sd reader, it's absolutely fine. The phone's usb connectivity is also not recognized (only charging) when plugged into my mac. I'm trying to do both of the fixes located at the beginning of this thread.

When I select fastboot, I don't see what I'm supposed to do next...

Where am I supposed to be typing in the adb commands?

Because as of now, the USB doesn't work either. I tried the USB fix which is located on the same page but that had no success.

Here's what I've tried: I went to into fastboot (while my phone was connected via usb...which isn't being recognized anyways)...then I tried to enter the commands, this is what it looks like:

Last login: Tue Aug 17 19:59:19 on ttys000

drew-s-macbook-pro:~ drewsky$ cd android-sdk-mac_86/tools

drew-s-macbook-pro:tools drewsky$ ./adb devices

List of devices attached

drew-s-macbook-pro:tools drewsky$ echo $PATH

/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

drew-s-macbook-pro:tools drewsky$ fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

-bash: fastboot: command not found

drew-s-macbook-pro:tools drewsky$ fastboot reboot

-bash: fastboot: command not found

drew-s-macbook-pro:tools drewsky$

-----------------------------------------------------------------

SD Card Fix

Press & hold vol down and power on the phone

Select fastboot by pressing the power button

ADB commands

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

That should fix your SD card not being detected.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
It wouldn't hurt to just reboot from fastboot.

weird how the generic wall charger doesn't work, did it work before?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
you need the "SDK" application.

That is where you input the adb commands.

and you'll need to correct the SD issue before the USB issue.

by the way, get the "SDK" software here:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
[EVO 4G Android Development] tranquilchaos:
I have the sdk package already....I'm more looking for how to perform this task on a MAC, not on windows....I think I've figured it out though. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tranquilchaos:
Alright, so I restored a nandroid backup. Everything was restored but once again, apps on sd card were being unrecognized. So, I figured this fix would work. Here's what I did:

Last login: Wed Aug 18 20:24:06 on ttys000

drew-s-macbook-pro:~ drewsky$ ./fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

... OKAY

drew-s-macbook-pro:~ drewsky$ ./fastboot reboot

rebooting...

But upon rebooting, it didn't change a thing. The apps on the sd card are still not being recognized, WHY!?!?!? What am I supposed to do now?

Did I enter the commands wrong? I thought maybe I was supposed to run the command: cd android-sdk-mac_86/tools before entering the fastboot commands but when I tried that, it said 'No such file or directory'.

PLEASE, TELL ME THERE IS AN EASY FIX TO THIS!!!

USB still not working

I dont know if i have a different problem. but here it goes.

I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH SD CARD works fine.

But

My usb doesnt want to charge my phone or use disk drive

But the strange it will work for like maybe 2 secs my orange light will come on then i switch it to disk drive real quick it pops up on my computer screen then it cuts off same when i just try to leave it charging its like it just loses power.

But

i can charge it through the wall no problems.. weird.. i tried the whole flash through connect box every thing went smoothly but still didnt work for me i didnt get any errors when doing it either.

Any ideas? i dont want to have to keep using card reader to move things to my sd card

I'm looking for 3 beta testers. The job doesn't pay, it has crappy hours and you'll have to flash quite a few fixes and deal with many bugs in between final releases... but you get to test the newest stuff before anyone else :p

I've created a special group on xda-developers for Beta testers. If you're successful, you'll be kept on indefinitely - unless things change - for future builds/updates.

Please PM me your experience for a request to join the group. It's invite-only, or I'd link it here.

For the sake of being fair, I'd prefer it if you aren't currently working on another Eris android project. You'll need to devote some time to testing all functions of the build.

I notice that I am unable to get the ##778# menu after upgrade to stock Sprint 2.1 ROM (with the default dialer). I tried ##778 and call button also, which did not work either. Since others haven't mentioned about it I am not sure if it is happening for me only? I also notice that the menu for changing NAM is not seen in 2.1 - Is anyone else who upgraded to 2.1 also noticing it?

I am able to run other codes like ##786# and ##3282# which open fine but nothing happens for ##778#

##gps# (477) is also not working for me, nor is 778.

Can somebody please explain GSM vs WCDMA vs UMTS for the bands?

My impression is GSM is 2G and UMTS is 3G and both can supply regular phone service? What's WCDMA then?

T-mobile USA is GSM 850/1900 and what else?

I was thinking if I specify what network and band to use it'll use less batter (ie. no 3g unless I really need it).
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
this is a really easy google search... or just go to wikipedia....really any search you would try will answer your question.

(you're half right, but mostly wrong)...here's some links for you

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=wcdma+wiki&l=1

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=gsm+wiki
[HD2 General] fflakes:
Well I did google already, but still is over my head when I look at the band settings in the TMO HD2.

If WCDMA = UMTS why is there a separate GSM/WCDMA network selection, both allowing bands in GSM and UMTS.

Sounds like GSM is older tech, meaning 2g, whereas 3g is the newer GSM, which is UMTS, which = WCDMA. Therefore, how can you choose UMTS band frequencies on a old GSM network?

Perhaps I'm not phrasing my question correctly. I'm asking these because of the phone settings. I'm trying to figure out if it's more efficient to just tell the phone to look for specific network/band for TMOUSA thereby saving time and battery.
[HD2 General] fflakes:
is this just too simple of a question or not many people understand. anyone?
[HD2 General] Svegetto:
ok, instead of giving you a bunch of info, let me give you just what I think you need.

I'm guessing you're going to Settings>Wireless Controls> Phone>Band and that's where the confusion is coming from. This screen is wrong and the Bands listed there are wrong (they're from previous devices, and htc didn't bother to update that screen).

So, you have 3 main choices there that should be of interest to you as long as you're in the US on Tmobile's network: Auto, WCDMA, GSM (under Network Type).

Auto: switches automatically between GPRS/EDGE/3G (HSDPA, HSPDA+)

WCDMA: 3G (HSDPA, HSPDA+)

GSM: EDGE/GPRS

The only way that playing with the band frequencies could help you would be if you're just interested in Edge/GPRS since tmobile uses two different frequencies there (native 1900 and 850 roaming). For 3g however, Tmobile uses only (and concurrently....as in you need to use both to get 3g and not just one or the other) 1700/2100 frequency.

Long story short, if you're trying to keep the phone from switching between 3g and Edge and you're in an area that has constant 3g, set it to WCDMA. (but note that if you loose 3g but are in an area with Edge, it will not switch to Edge, it will just be 0 bars/reception).
[HD2 General] fflakes:
thanks alot, that really clears it up. I don't have data connection besides mms so I figure I may set it to no 3g and save some battery.
