[Resolved] VB windows doesn't see HTC U11 phone

Post by metropical »

trying to downgrade my HTC U11 from Pie to Oreo. Apparently that this needs to be done via Windows.
I can't seem to get VB/W7 top see the HTC.
The HTC shows up on the bottom line dock and in the VB/USB settings.
When I plug it in, I hear a tone like it recognized the HTC, but when I try to use Command line: adb to connect to the phone, nada.
What am I doing wrong?
VB 5.1.32 on Sierra. I haven't update VB because I couldn't get music to play when I did.

What does that even mean? 5.1.32 is unsupported, you'd better upgrade to 6.0.14, the latest as of this writing. Including the ExtPack.

Please read the following thread: USB basics and troubleshooting, all of the posts.

If you still have a problem after reading through the whole thing, please follow the advice of the last post, #8: Asking for help and post the information requested.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

I figured it out. I hadn't enabled USB 2 properly. Thanks.
