[RAF_SHC]

Hi Guys n Gals,

Please help me!

Basically just got a HTC Universal locked on T-Mobile UK, which I bought 2nd/3rd hand.

Got it quite cheap and love it! Only problem is I want to unlock it and use on O2. However, whenever I attach USB cable to phone and laptop/PC message comes up saying USB Device not recognised!!! It is really frustrating!!!!

Tried all variations e.g. diferent PCs, cables etc to no avail. My HTC Artemis connectes just phone on any computer!!!

Basically all I want to know is that can I unlock it without being able to activesync to it?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Help as I am running out of options. Have hard reset phone to solve USB issue bt nuttin! Tok it to phone shop to get repaired but they said they could not USB to it either and can't unlock it!

Two possibilities,

1 You dont have activesync installed on the PC (activesync drivers are required to communicate with device or you use Vista which requires driver downgrade (instructions in the Wiki))
2 Your USB port is damaged and requires resoldering to attach the correct pins (simply job to do, cheap repair, instructions are on the forum/Wiki)

Thanks beast0898 for your suggestions. I use Win XP.

I suggest it is the USB port that needs repair as tried many PCs all with activesync latest version installed still same response.

Ill try the soldering now. Hope there is some pics and stuff to help me out!

The job is a very simple one to do yourself, the connector can easily become loose if your are not gentle when inserting cables. When you open the Uni up, you will see how easy it is sir. There are companies in the UK that will do it for you for around £40 with a new connector, if you're not happy doing it yourself.
