"Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted" error: Revolutionary

[icepikk]

I saw a similar issue in the EVO 3D forum, but nothing that helped my situation.

I run revolutionary on windows vista and everything seems to be working fine until it restarts and goes into bootloader, then revolutionary gives the error that "communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Press (almost) any key to exit." I have tried many times and still the error. I have left it at charge only, ive set it to HTC sync, and I have tried it with turning fast reboot off. Still not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank in advance.

It's normal. Remove the phone, reboot it and run Revo again. It'll fail each time it tries to reboot but running it again does the stages one at a time. It'll eventually say you have root and do you want to install CWM

 

[mathrania]

It happened with me many time....(NOTE: Do "DISABLE Fastboot" & "ENABLE Debuggin").
Try it again. When it boots into bootloader, you will eventually see on top "S-OFF" and the name "Revolutionary" as well. My Hboot version was totally different from the one mentioned on the "Guide to S-Off,Root,Flash CWM Recovery", But I did Root and flashed few ROM's till now. As soon as you instal CWM, install ROM Manager, Update the CWM and reboot into recovery and make a BACKUP(To be on safeside,as it was useful for me)
Good Luck.

HTC sync was the only way it worked for me, on the the third loss of communication it worked, s off. As others stated, keep trying, it works.

Please Make Sure you have HTC Sync uninstalled and Droid Explorer uninstalled.

Did you check the Post #2 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Try putting it to charge only, fastboot off and debugging on.

Try it 2-3 times.. eventually it gives s-off. Then you can install recovery by booting the phone & putting PGxx.zip on your sdcard. Then turn off the phone and boot to bootloader (Vol - and power) press vol + when it asks for update.

I had the same problem on the 3VO. When I disabled the fastboot option it worked!!

I was having this problem, USB debug on and fast boot off. No number of resets would cure it.

This is how I solved it, in case anyone is having the same problem:

The application reset the phone a second time, at which point it would get the error, I was left in the boot menu with S-On and a sad expression on my face.

During the first reboot into the boot menu, I quickly selected 'FASTBOOT USB' (I think it was vol down once, then power button). It then started processing the ZIP file before the application could reboot it a second time.

The application will still get the same error, however on your phone, you will now have S-Off.

Disclaimer: I have no idea what I'm doing, as evidenced by my post count of 1. It seems to work fine, but my phone may explode in 30 minutes time, I have no idea.

 

[imblfmstr]

press power key

when it asks for the fastboot second time, just press the power key once and u will get the s-off

 

[Jesushasadroid]

after s-off...how can we push recovery and flash su zip...for root...

 

[kallepeterson]

sorry guys, but I just can't get this to work. I'm having the exact same issue
as, well a lot of people. "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted"

I got a brand spanking new Sensation. (if that could be part of the problem)
I've scowered the internet for a solution and tried just about anything I can find.

- Phone is set to USB debugging.
- fastboot is off
- set to charge only
- sync is uninstalled
- all drivers are installed

I've tried every possible combination of the above as well.

I've tried "when it asks for the fastboot second time, just press the power key once and u will get the s-off"

for the "Try it 2-3 times.. eventually it gives s-off" I just completed my 25th try,
and still no luck.

What the f**k is going on here? I'm no noble prize winner, but I've done
way trickier stuff than this.

any ideas?

Thanks guys,

I think this error message only applies to 1.17.0008 only...I did it successfully only by following this:

1. Disable Fastboot
2. Enable USB Debugging
3. Whenever the message says "waiting for..." unplug the usb fast...after the phone reboots...plug it back it...it will load a few seconds then it will say "waiting for fastboot etc." and keep repeating it (unplug USB wait for reboot before plug back in) till "waiting for fastboot (once moar)" and you will see S-OFF!!!

Hello Guys,

I solved this issue when I rooted my HTC desire using Unrevoked..
every time the desire rebooted, then the unrevoked said that " Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted "

What I did is that,

- Phone is set to USB debugging.
- I couldn't find (fastboot) in my mobile, I just forgot about it.
- set the mobile to sync only when connected with usb cable.
- HTC sync is uninstalled from my computer.
- my computer recognize the device when it connected with usb cable otherwise you need to download some drivers (google it).

- then I connected my desire to the computer using the usb cable and start the unrevoked software.
- the unrevoked works and download some files then said that waiting for device to reboot. my device is rebooted.. when the logo of HTC started to appear in my mobile and just before the mobile completely works after rebooting, I have unplugged the usb cable from the desire..
- the unrevoked software still saying that "waiting for the device to reboot and it may take few mintues" !!
- when the desire is completely works and ready to use I have plugged it again to the computer and choose sync mode in very fast way before the unrevoked software detect it.
- then the unrevoked software start to download some files on the deasire and reboot it again for the second time and said that " waiting for device to reboot" .. in same way in have unplugged the usb cable after the HTC logo appears before it completely start and plug it again when the desire is completely working and ready to use and to respond.
- then the unrevoked software downloaded more files and said that " Done successfully" .

When I used this method, I have rooted and flashed my htc desire mobile and It is working fine. I just installed some custom roms on my mobile from the sd card using ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7 and it is working great..

I hope this will help somebody getting same problem.

Greeting from Saudi Arabia.

Mkman

It applies to Hboot 1:18.0000 as well. However in my case, no amount of plugging and unplugging will fix the problem...

Edit: Solved by running on Win 7, outside of the VM where I usually do my phone stuff with adb installed ect... So not sure if adb was the issue or that the VM is WinXP. Anyway, seems clean install of drivers without adb installed fixed it.

 

[javefang]

try to install adb, it works

When I was rooting and s-off an htc desire on linux using revolution. It fails every time on "waiting for fastboot...", then exit with "communication with phone unexpe...".

I have adb installed with android sdk. however, i haven't started the daemon. The last time I use "adb devices" to check the connected device, this also enables the adb daemon. Then everything just goes well and i get s-off.

Remember to install adb and start it by executing "adb devices"
