Zune doesn't recognize my WP7 via USB

I've been experiencing this issue now for a couple of weeks. I have hard reset it, reformatted it, and reboot every associated PC, and even tried different cables. Its as if the USB driver stored on the device has been deleted or corrupted. As with other users, my phone will charge when connected to the PC via USB, but Zune doesn't see it, and device manager doesn't see it anymore either. I even tried uninstalling the driver entry for it on one PC under device manager, in hopes that would force it to reinstall the correct driver, but no luck. Now it just doesn't exist.

I stopped in at an ATT store today and they don't even have a Zune workstation set up to test WP7 phones. Go figure.

Hi All,

maybe this can help you ...

Launch your Samsung Focus’ dialer, and key-in ##634#. Press the call button, and you will reach the phone’s Diagnosis menu. Using that, enter *#7284# and a dialog box will appear, presenting you with the option to change the setting for USB (Zune to modem or ‘Modem, USB dialog’)

thank me if it worked :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyexx:
I have been trying this but for some reason I dont get a grey screen. Is there any other way?

UPDATE: So I got the dialog box, but I am still not able to connect. It would seem that the drivers are not recognized. i tried almost every file outhere, no luck. Any other suggestions? am on Windows 7 x64
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyexx:
I just realized that when i do the change above and it prompt for the reboot, after the reboot I check it and it goes back to zune. Should I be doing something else
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the92playboy:
Well I am having the same problem with my LG Optimus Quantum.

Using the factory USB cable, newest version of zune, etc etc. I have had my phone since launch, but yesterday bought my wife the same phone and hers DOES get recognized by zune. This is seriously pissing me off.

ADD: The PC itself seems to be recognizing the phone, as I have the "Your Device is ready to use" window, with ready to use beside USB Composite Device, LG LG-C900B, and Windows Phone USB

I am perplexed.

2nd ADD: SOLVED. I had to do a hard reset, which sucks because I had pictures on the phone but couldn't sync to save them, and the skydrive option was messing up too. But it is now being recognized by zune at least.

I am using Ev1ls 1.26 rom on Nexus One, had been using CM but moved for one reason. I need 'search' or at least order by (sender etc) in the Email client (not Gmail) as I am a heavy Exchange user.

Does anybody know what other ROM's have this in the default Email client or is it a feature of the HTC Sense email only right now?

I know I can add from Market TouchDown or equivalent but would rather not,

Thanks

may i ask what a rooted epic will do? & how does it compare to an original epic?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
Honestly if you don't know then you probably shouldn't be rooting or even considering rooting in the first place
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infamousjax:
seconded. this entire forum is basically about rooting and what it does/what you can do. you shouldnt have any trouble figuring it out
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Thirded.

If you don't know what it is, you haven't read enough.

If after reading you don't know what it is, you still haven't read enough.

If after reading more, you still don't know what it is, you probably have some reading comprehension issues, but also search and read some more.

Starting a new post as your FIRST post on XDA asking people to explain to you what it is, UGH.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JungleJiujitsu:
shouldn't this be in General?...But for starters, I would recommend beginning at the one-click root forum, and whatever you do, don't be scared to brick your phone, I have yet to brick mine and I am constantly flashing my phone! Good luck!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live2ride96:
Come on guys. Really? Is this the kind of community we want to be? Everyone's gotta start somewhere. Just suggest reading up first, and point him to where he's gotta go. Remember, there was a point where you didn't know what rooting was either.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helchez:
Well since no one wants to be nice...

Rooting is basically giving you root access to the phones operating system. The reason for doing this is to allow you to customize and optimize your phone for your specific needs. The two biggest reasons for rooting are the ability to remove bloatware and for flashing custom roms/kernels. Rooting also gives you access to programs in the market that require superuser permissions (root).

The difference between an unrooted epic 4g and a rooted one, unrooted is a handicaped device that is little more than a fancy toy that can browse the web and make phone calls. A rooted one is really what ever you want it to be. A cool toy or an amazing tool or both.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bomix:
Thank you, holy crap so many evil people in the world why are slipping into XDA? Just answer the question, did we not all start at 1 post?

To add to that, Rooting gives you Access to tether your internet connection from your epic to a laptop wirelessly, This is the only reason i'd root the Epic.

you can try turning them on in engineer mode and see if that works

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Hi,

i've been following the progress on Milestone hacking quite a while now.

Some days ago i started intensive research on the Milestone hardware myself :D

So here's the some interesting discovery.

Thanks goes out to XVilka for putting this down on the wiki so fast ;)

Of course this is just the starting point for a new hunting....

As you might see many signals are not identified yet.

Essential:

TDO

TDI

TMS

TCK

RTCK

Possible:

EMU0

EMU1

Optional:

DEBUG_UART_RX

Someone needs unsolder the CPU and trace these signals on the mainboard.

So if you got a broken mainboard it would be welcome for scientific examination :rolleyes:

This of course would not give us an open bootloader, but might open the door for some promising attempts to debug the platform more intensely.

UPDATE:

All signals had been identified. Unfortunately JTAG access to ARM core and other units is blocked.

EDIT:

O.k. now that xvilka had put my detailed pics in the droid-developers wiki, no need to hide it anymore :D

Find my updated pics attached.

In fact JTAG access is blocked by the security mechanism on the Milestone.

So all that is accessible is the main TAP controller... everything else is blocked.

No access to the ARM core... nothing except ID could be retrieved.

Have a look at my resignation post here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11759352&postcount=54

Anyway the journey was a fun thing and i learned a lot of the ARM core internals including TAP units inside OMAP :rolleyes:

The craziest thing was, to realize that all this incredible security stuff really depends on one hard-coded bit... called the "HS-Bit".

If you need more infos tell me!!

Cheers,

scholbert
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Software tool

We might use the famous OpenOCD for debugging, once we got the full pinout.

Look here for further details about it:

Have fun!

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] AbdouRetro:
This looks very much fun, but how is this going to benefit an end user?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] leobg:
^^ How does "unlocked bootloader" sound to you ;)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Well said and nice to see some reaction here also.

Sure that's fun... at least for me... and it's to widen your knowledge :p

I've joined this forum some time ago and it is still called xda-developers.

Maybe i'm little old-fashioned but that's what is still driving me... development

By initiating this thread i was aware there's no benefit for the end user right now,

but the more people stumble over here, the more there's a chance to find some other enthusiasts following this path.

I'm aware that the magic parts are missing.

We need someone willing to do wicked stuff and equipped with professional equipment to unsolder parts from the mainboard.

Once to the remaining signals could be traced, there's a lot play with.

Unlike other devices the core elements of the hardware residing in the Milestone are pretty well documented and lot of software tools exist.

I'm pretty sure there's a way to find a nicer backdoor on this locked down device.

The market is fast though and maybe some day there'll be a device you could use to fly with... even as an end user :D

Anyway, would be nice to talk about.

Best regards,

scholbert
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] AbdouRetro:
if thats true, then that'd be great. but the guy says "This of course would not give us an open bootloader" in his first post.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] AbdouRetro:
good luck scholbert!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] leobg:
Yes, having a working JTAG is not going to open the bootloader. But will give something very important - access to the CPU and flash without having any working code - read "bootloader development".
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] AbdouRetro:
scholbert, if u have flash access then u can write to some very privileged areas, does that mean u can make the processor boot into general purpose mode?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Privileged areas is a nice word :D

....but yes, if it's in NAND you may access it easily using JTAG.

AFAIK the HS mode is hard coded into OMAP3430, so booting into GP mode will never happen i guess.

EDIT:

Just had a short glimpse at the OMAP3430 TRM, there's the register CONTROL_PRODUCTION_ID @ 0x4830_A210 to check for GP mode (ID = 0xF0).

On milestone this ID is obviously different and it is hardcoded with efuse.

The ROM bootloader checks this register and could not be rewritten because it's OTP.

scholbert
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Quintasan:
Sir, I was wondering if a bricked device would be okay for this (by bricked I mean someone [not me of course :P] flashed some ****ty firmware and it doesn't boot now), if it is so then I think I visit a few shops and ask around in the "black" market for a bricked device.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] AbdouRetro:
I don't think motorola has the capacity to manufacture things so different for the milestone and droid. its enough cost that they use different radios!!

I'm hoping its an external chip/trace that controls which mode it boots.

in the chip block diagram on the site, there's an internal boot rom, do we have that??

reminds me of the xbox360...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Sure a bricked device would do, even a partly physical damaged device will do. As i said before the CPU needs to be unsoldered to trace some signals.

EDIT: Just a remark, because you talk about "black" market.... please don't buy any stolen phones or something.

Of course there's a boot ROM, all modern OMAP got this OTP memory implemented.

Have a look at:

https://www.droid-developers.org/wiki/Main_Page

You'll find very interesting and useful information....

Concerning capacities...

Sure they have and obviously Motorola is one of the big customers of Ti.

Apart form the device ID there are also different boot ROMs for different platforms.

This is simply called customizing ;)

TI does it, Qualcomm does it, whoever builds ARM SoC's may do it.

Also Ti's eFuse technology gives the customer (e.g. Motorola) the opportunity to block certain parts of the chip by software setup.

And that's what they did on the Milestone.

scholbert
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] AbdouRetro:
when i said "do we have that"

i meant, do we have a dump of that code that is disassembled and looked into.

by checking here

its obvious this has already been done
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Hi again,

seems less interest here.... sure this is a very technical thread.... :rolleyes:

Anyway, see this picture of the mainboard.

https://www.droid-developers.org/images/d/dd/Photo-1.jpg

Seems to be taken from one of the first mass production units, or even a developers phone.

You see there's a FPC connector soldered on the mainboard (underneath the microSD connector).

After doing a little research, it seems that these connectors are used for professional environment:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] eustice:
I have a dead phone. If someone can provide me with a pinout for the processor, I will be glad to trace out the rest of the jtag header.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Hi eustice!

Wow, that 's great, let's crack that nut :D

I just created a map, bit small though, but i think everything could located...

BTW, on Milestone they seem to have used a OMAP3430 in CBC (S-PBGA-N515) package with POP-memory (see attached datasheet of the package).

Had to digg a little to find that out...

Tell me if you need further information!

Please be careful while removing the CPU, these little pads will easily rip of...

Good luck!!

Sir, well, I'm not sure if this is of intrest to us but

http://allegro.pl/okazja-jak-nowa-motorola-droid-i1386494285.html

This guys sell's DROIDs for 200 polish zloty, it's cheap. The main problem is that the guy says they were flooded during the transport, he also claims that they were not switched on since then. Are we interested in getting one and disassembling it?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] scholbert:
Hey Qintasan,

thanks for the link!

Indeed the price is nice, but it's your decision, wether to buy one or not.

Personnally i got two working devices and i'm not willing to rip them apart.

By starting this thread i intended to draw some interest about this JTAG stuff and to collect information to gain access on the Milestone.

It is yet unknown, if it will ever work on this platform.

It might also be possible that the JTAG signals are physically connected, but had been disabled by e-fuses on the production units.

..... but if no one ever tries we'll never know.

Best regards,

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfnhawaii808:
I got this question but was not sure how to answer it. I understand that TEMP ROOT only sticks until a battery pull or a complete power cycle, and PERM ROOM via visionary r12 is supposed to stick EVEN after a complete powerdown and reboot.

Question asked was if you PERM ROOT via visionary, and then remove apps via titanium backup, does it also PERM remove the app from nandlock? In other words if the perm root is REMOVED via visionary, and then you power cycle and reboot, will the DELETED apps come BACK?

Thanks.. I wanna make sure Im giving out CORRECT information.... I have only perm rooted a htc hero and when I removed APKS from it after rooting, they were gone FOREVER, but I am not sure about nandlock devices.. thanks

If you paid for your apps you would not have this concern...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skidooman:
If you temp root with visionary then uninstall the apps with titanium back up, they will return after the battery is removed. I tried it I was having trouble perma rooting and my apps that were removed came back after a battery pull. But after I got s-off the apps stay uninstalled.

Heya all,

my Mozart arrived earlier today (coming from Android, I'm loving how clean it is :D), and whilst playing around, I couldn't help but notice on the sound enhancement menu thingy, that you can select either Dolby or SRS. I have no idea about either, so can anyone shed any light on which is better please :p

Alex
[7 Mozart General] heisven:
Give it a shot and try it out.

I prefer SRS. Enhances bass and gives the drumset a nice, clean sound.

But that's a matter of taste..

And please. Its an HTC Mozart. Take some Sennheisers or equal equpiment ;)
[7 Mozart General] fredskis:
I find Dolby Mobile is better for the speaker on the phone while SRS Enhancement is better when plugged in to speakers. I would assume it would be better for headphones as well.
[7 Mozart General] ekashic:
I think so,when i use headphone,SRS is better
[7 Mozart General] xda-alberto:
In my HTC Mozart

I use Dolby for external speaker, and SRS for headphones...

Everyone I show the device is impressed with the sound (in Dolby by the speaker) , the sharp and nice saturated screen and the camera....

My only point goes for the video recording, sometimes it takes to much time to focus.. as for the photos they are OK, the xenon flash is very good in low light...

This phone despite having a 3.7 screen should have a kick-stand...so you could see the clips and movies while enjoying the great sound..

[7 Mozart General] Elemental_Fire:
Sorry, but the chick on the SRS page wins it over for me ;)
[7 Mozart General] meegulthwarp:
Another vote for SRS. When SRS is used on my Creative headphones the sound is very crisp and real, Dolby is a bit too dull and vocals are drowned out.

When using the phone speaker I can't really tell much of a difference.

Just received a rebuilt TP2 (Sprint) from Asurion. It will not sync with my laptop. In fact when I plug in the usb cable to the TP2 it does not even know it is plugged in. No sounds no nothing. Only thing it does is charge the battery. If I take the usb cable and plug it into the phone which is being replaced (water damage) it immediately fires up active sync.

I would greatly appreciate any help. I have been through Sprint service (4 people) and Asurion service with the same results. I figure that there is more knowledge here.

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
This seems to help some people:

(from the Energy ROM FAQs)

ActiveSync unable to synchronize via USB: Some people reported that going to Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC and disabling 'enable faster data synchronization' worked for them, but results vary. This issue happens more often with Vista/Windows 7.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] OldCoastie:
I gave your suggestion a try and at first it looked as if that was the solution. The PC recognized the phone for a brief time then I started getting messages like 'do not recognize the connected usb device'. That's when I started messing with the usb connector at the phone. I found that if I held the plug down and to the left it started to sync. After a few tries I got it to totally sync. One problem out of the way. Of course this is not acceptable so I will call Asurion for a new phone, hopefully one with a connector that is not mostly shot. Here's hoping.

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
Yep, that's a faulty USB port. Sometimes it will pop up the TV Out screen when plugging it into the wall charger when it gets bad. Ask them for a different one. Refurbished phones are normally tested VERY thoroughly in quality control before being sent out. They should replace it for you right away. Try syncing via bluetooth in the meantime, if possible.
