[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosuffer:
You just have a different recovery. Once you are in recovery, you don't need to do anything else on your phone specifically.

Instead, connect your phone to your PC via USB if it isn't already and open up device manager on your PC and follow the rest of the guide.

Edit: Where does it say unknown device? In Device Manager?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guesswhatimevan:
It shows up in usb controllers instead of other devices as he shows in the guide. If i try to update the driver it just tells me it's already up to date.

>Sorry yea it does say unknown device in device manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guesswhatimevan:
Gotta bump, would really love to just fix this instead of driving 30 mins to a sprint store.

So i followed the guide for installing apb drivers, but even in recovery mode my phone still shows up as unknown device in device manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosuffer:
Ok, well I just ran into this myself on my secondary computer. Have you tried a different USB port on your PC?

My front ones were giving me unknown device, but as soon as I plugged it into one of the ports on the back of the mobo ADB showed right up in device manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GHOST99K:
Factory reset it and get it exchanged.I belief is the SD card failure issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noob Squared:
I have the same problem and posted this question on 3 forums including the HTC support forum and nobody has been able to find the correct solution.

I know the cable and the port is good because I can connect my Samsung Moment to it and it works perfectly. On the Evo, I've downloaded the latest HTC Sync from the official HTC site, tried the one on the microsd card, checked and un-checked USB debugging, and still it doesn't connect.

The Evo won't connect to my Win 7 computer at home, Win XP at work, but it will connect to my daughters computer which is running Win XP also (all 32 bit).

I bought this Evo from Best Buy exactly 28 days ago today. Do they give you 30 days to return it, or is that only the Sprint store?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GHOST99K:
They do give u 30 day trial.go get it exchanged or...........
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noob Squared:
Ha, you rock! I called the BB that I bought the phone from (Garland, TX) and they said they were out and wouldn't have any more in for a couple of weeks. I called a different one, closer to my house, and they said they were out. I got a little ugly with their manager and hung up.

10 minutes later I got a call from the Garland store and they miraculously found one to exchange. :D

They said they got a call from the store that is closer to my house. Since I had to exchange the phone, they put a new Zagg screen protecter on my new Evo.

AND my pc connect without any problem with the USB, so now I'm transferring my backup apps to the new phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GHOST99K:
Nicely done and now get to rooting and flashing ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
I have this exact same problem and here is what i've done to try to fix it and nothing works.

I'm running cyanogenmod 7 on my evo 4g and when I plug it into a computer it only charges and never prompts me if I want to connect as a disk drive. It used to but now it just stopped. I had a backup of my rom so I put it on my girlfriends evo and hers still connected to the pc like normal but mine will not give me the option to hook up through USB. My computer says unknown device. It gives me code 43 in windows 7. I was able to hook it up in xp but when I tried doing anything it no longer was able to detect the phone. I did a factory reset and it still doesn't work. At one point I found a forum that suggested to turn off bluetooth and a few other things. I decided to see if turning off my wifi would do anything and finally my phone showed the usb debugging notification and the mount as usb notification but it wouldn't mount so I restarted my phone and now it's back to doing nothing but charge the phone. I tried a backup of sinister rom that I had and suddenly it asked if i wanted to connect as a disk drive but windows was still saying usb device not recognized. I reverted all the way back to stock losing root privileges and it still doesn't work. It appears to me that it is a hardware problem. I don't know what else to do.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassie1995:
Same here... Seems like an SDK issue for me, have you installed the SDK on your PC?

How you doin'? Greetings from my GT-I9000!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
I don't really see a point because the phone won't connect to the computer. I can't do anything through usb. I can't mount the sd, i can't get it to connect in hboot either. I have no idea what it can be. The only thing I can think is that my charging port is ****ed. Might have to get a new one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
It was a bad port on the phone. Gonna order a new port to replace it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfbo:
Can someone clarify how one can check if it's a bad port or not?

I pretty much learned to live without linking the phone thru USB but I'll be damned if I haven't wanted to fix this issue, it's been the ONLY real problem I ever had with this phone since I bought it on release date.

All I can say is it does show up on my list (device manager) as an "unknown device" so I'm thinking the port must be good to show that in my DM, no?

Also, I can't recall how to go about doing it but I could swear having this problem within the first 6 months of ownership and finding a fix by updating the driver to another device already on my PC. That worked for the longest time but noticed I had to reassign it on more than one occasion but it was simple enough to do and it worked when I needed to communicate with my PC but it's been so damned long since I even did that I don't recall what it is I'm supposed to link to.....anyone know what I'm talking about and can refresh my memory?!?!? :confused: :o

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
Pretty much if you hook your phone up and your phone doesn't ask if you want to connect as disk drive its the port.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfbo:
Thanks.....it does ask more often than not, depends what ROM I'm using I think so I guess that's a good sign......except I still get the unrecognized device message and NEVER connects. :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
If at any point you plug in your phone and it doesn't ask then most likely the port is going out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veritasaequita:
i have this issue word for word, do now ive got it boiled down to the usb port on the phone. is there a test or software/app out there that can show status of that port kinda like a health check or something of that nature. its crazy because as smart as thes phones are u wild think for sure if they were having hardware failure that they would be quick to show some sort of error notification
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
For me if I wiggled the cord and had it just in the right position it would work but if you bump or move it it ****s up again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livnda209:
Im almost positive it is the htc port. I buy and sell htc evo's alot so ive had alot to play with. i have came across atleast 15 evo 4g's which will not show a com port in diag mode or detect thru adb due to the port being out. it will still charge sometimes but the port is slowly going out causing it not to connect to the pc correctly. If jiggling the wire does not work then the port will need to be replaced.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weinerwad3000:
It's definitely an HTC port problem. There was a class action lawsuit against HTC because of a manufacturing flaw with the port. There's nothing preventing the port from being ripped out. I tried fixing my phone but the pins came off the mobo so it needs a new mobo. They cost more than a used phone on eBay though so just replace it if that happens. I would love to see a video of somebody replacing one though cuz it seems extremely difficult.

The Droid X Multitouch keyboard has been hacked and modded for the Evo4G, can someone please create a version for the Dell Streak with the same attributes??
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Antiskunk:
I tried to install the HTC_IME but there is no keyboard setting in the settings menu, how do you change keyboards on 1.6?
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] AuirR:
Settings => Locale & text => Enable your keyboard.

While inputing text, long press on input box and select "Input Method" to change keyboard. :)
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Jezza0:
As far as I know, we can't use multi-touch until we get android 2 or better. So says the blurb for smart keyboard pro, anyway.

Just another reason we are all dying for 2.2!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jdmadonna:
I don't know if that is accurate... how else could you use pinch to zoom then?? Even though it is 1.6, Dell has enabled this device with multitouch. I don't have my Streak yet... can one of you current owners download the apk from the EVO 4G thread and install to verify?? I'm dying to know if this works or not!!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Jezza0:
True - multi-touch does work in certain apps such as the browser, but it does not work in Maps or any 3rd party app I have installed. In Android's wikipedia page, in the changelog for 2.0/2.1, it lists:

MotionEvent class enhanced to track multi-touch events

I've concluded that Dell must have included multi-touch support in their version of the browser... somehow!
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] chrism_scotland:
Its like the SE Xperia X10, most apps aren't multi touch but its activated in Browsing and Mapping I believe, as least we know it works so when 2.2 / 2.1 comes everything should pinch to zoom.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fracmo2000:
Did you get this working? If so, could you upload the apk file for me? The default keyboard is terrible

thanks man:D
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] courtlandre:
We need 2.0+ for multitouch. The only reason it works for the browser is because dell has specifically included support for the browser.

Turning on word suggestions helps the default keyboard loads.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] fracmo2000:
ahhhh i forgot about that :(

I found that out when trying to play old skool emulators (snes, nes etc)...a quick fix for that was to hookup the wiimote :)

Ach well...such a pain in the arse having to wait for dell to get an update...one month gone and it feels like three
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jdmadonna:
I see what you guys are saying about multi touch, but there is only one way to find out... load the Droid X keyboard onto the Streak!! I am attaching the apk for the keyboard mod that was made for the Evo 4g, it has the color change to green from red... it functions great on the Evo, and has now been ported to the Nexus 1. If one of you can install it and see if it works... then we will know for sure. For further instruction on how to load the keyboard once installed... there is a article on StreakSmart on how to properly do it.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] jdmadonna:
Don't forget that multi touch also works in the picture and video app... in pinch to zoom form.

i just updated my Streak to 2.1 and i tried the droid x multitouch keyboard im happy to say it works now. the previous 1.6 would crash during when u try to call up the keyboard. however due to the resolution differences the Keyboard buttons take up the Whole screen...
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] courtlandre:
Yeah, I dont like it. Smart keyboard works better for a multitouch keyboard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
1) Does your phone have the latest update?

2) What root method did you use?

3) Have you unlocked NAND?

The devil is in the details
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lostinroot:):
+1 doesn't look like you have done part 2 to unlock nand.

Sent from my EVO from atop Candy Mountain....Charlie.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
Something similar happened to me and it was because I used the wrong pcimg during part 2 of root. I accidentally used the first pcimg instead if the engineering build so when I went to flash a recovery it gave me a similar error :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neotelos_com:
+1

I completely agree.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:

ergh, have you tried this, for instance? i guess not.

in this build:

phone works

3g internet works

sms works

and even wi-fi works

and even gps works

and even battery lives quite long enough
[Touch HD General] Psylabs:
I disagree.

Though it (2.1 V2.5a) is one of the best builds yet, its still very unstable.

Battery life is short.

It hangs. Straight up Dies. And cannot be woken up.

Transitions even with spare parts tweaked can be laggy.

Ive tried tweaking the startup.txt a little to no avail.

I too am eagerly looking for an android build that can even remotely be accepted as a daily use OS.
[Touch HD General] jeanfrederic:
If you read the topics, you should know there isn't any "good daily use build" yet!

Yes unfortunately there is no Android which can be used as a daily OS and it is still a work in progress all you can do rite now is help the community by posting the results of your findings and bugs[ofcourse make sure the bugs have already been posted] rather than asking which one to use :)

I get stuck after a few minutes of the boot on a black screen. As soon as I press any button the screen will turn on to the previous action of the boot and nothing more; just back to the black screen.

Now I've downloaded the zip file and extracted to the SD card, and I've touched nothing else. I even factory restored the phone so it is stock. Any EDUCATED response is helpful and appreciated.

I have some problems with my GPRS (data) settings when I loose my network coverage, like in a thick concrete building.

The device asks met to re-enter the password for the GPRS settings, even if I have checked the box "save password".

I configured my network (Vodafone NLD) using the Network Configuration Wizard. After that I switched Vodafone proxy off, cause it cannot be used for some services.

Does anyone else have the same problem? Are there some registry settings, which I could use to maintain my settings?

Hey guys

I am wondering in plain english what difference there is? obviously in my eyes the more memory the more responsive,

but im not just talking about speed, are there differences in stability?

Also what rom would you advise that uses the 576mb hack?

Regards
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medicuk:
I may be talking out of turn...

Just spent last few days trying different combos of roms...

whilst the customised 576mb roms have latest and greatest features, here in the UK on Vodafone Network, having to use any 2.xx.50.xx radio leaves me with awful call quality...

Love the ROMS and their features, but not at the cost of a useable telephone.

My advice is unless your device is a native 576mb, it really isnt worth the drop in useability as a telephone.

I have been through all the .50. radios, i've tried the wavedev.dll fix... all make slightest of differences...

Back on a .51. radio... the difference is undeniably obvious...

Just my two cents... thanks for letting me get that out :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ascottuk:
strange im using one of the .50 radios now, and my call quality is fine, i mean compared to the stock i dont notice a massive massive amount of call quality difference, noticable but not too much.

im currently just reading through all the different roms to see which would suite my needs, i need stability, i cant be doing with reboots all the time, but then i love the looks of some of the custom roms

hmmm decisions!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
copy the nbh file to sd card and rename it leoimg.nbh

go into bootloader and it should find teh image and flash it. If it doesnt, then try formatting teh card to fat32, and if it STILl doesnt find it, chances are you have a 8gb or 16gb card, which can be hit and miss.

as for searching, rather than teh built in search function, which is mediocre at best, bookmark and use THIS google advanced search page, and start your search with

You guys may well be right about vodafone.. and .50. roms with 576Mb, if it is any help to another vodafone user to avoid the trawling and testing of roms i have done...

I don't remember having issues with call quality and .50 radios before the 576Mb versions came out.

In my tests with Energy and CleanX Ultimate ROMS 2.10.50.19_2 was the one with least static and hiss, still very poor call quality tho.

If anyone manages to get sensible call quality on .50. radio with a 576Mb ROM on a EU spec phone and vodafone let me know, as i was really enjoying Energy latest ROM.. was why i spent so long testing out the .50. Radios.

I've been using the latest max sense energy rom with the 2.12.50.02_2 radio on my UK vodafone. I've had no problems what so ever and the call quality is excellent. It may be an area thing by the sounds of things.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] medicuk:
I was wrong!

I was wrong

Listening to what has been written above, i installed radio rom 2.12.50. and still had terrible call quality....

so, tried my PAYG O2 sim (uses same frequencies as Vodafone) and made a call with no crackles or hiss at all!!! With no change in radio or rom, vast improvement... noted that was on 2G signal at that point...

Changed back to vodafone sim, switched to GSM only mode and as if by magic the signal was miraculously better..

At least i am one step closer to nailing the vodafone hiss/crackle between talking... something to do with how the HD2 handles 3G based calls...

I am determined to locate and sort this feature of my HD2....

Wish me luck.
