Title explains most of the problem, my phone wont connect to my pc using active sync. If I plug it in, the device shows it is charging, but I cant get anything else, no disk drive, no active sync, no internet sharing. I thought at first it was a USB problem on the phone, but it charges fine on all chargers and even charges on the PC.
so question is, what can I do to make it work and I need to change the spl to .82 (tmobile stock) so i can do a warranty exchange. Any one know if I can flash SPL from sd card like I can on Android devices.
Currently I have spl .79 , the stock winmo 6.5 tmobile rom and latest tmobile radio.

Before you go to extremes, have you you tried changing the USB to PC settings? Try this:
Uncheck the box that says "Enable faster data syncronization", unplug, replug. No dice?

yea, no luck. Ive done a system restore on my PC and all. My PC has been freaking out lately and I am in safe mode right as a matter of fact removing some junk and what not. It will detect the phone, but then when it is installing drivers for it, it ALWAYS fails. no matter what USB port. I have even tried other computers and no luck with that either. I am pretty sure its the USB port on the phone.
so it leads me to my question, can i flash to the .82 SPL from my sdcard or am i pretty much just SOL
Ironic......
I have a similiar but different problem.
I need to do a warranty exchange because my touch screen has stopped working. Unfortunately the last time I used my phone I used internet sharing so now whenever I attach via usb it comes up as internet sharing and it will not let me change it to Activesync. I need to put the stock rom back on the phone so I can send it back. I'm stumped......

All you need to do is boot into the bootloader (turn off the device, then press power while holding [Volume down]), plug the device into your computer, and flash as usual. Just make sure you put back the appropriate stock SPL (which can be found in the HardSPL thread) after you flash back to the stock ROM, if the stock ROM you're flashing doesn't include it. You can verify that you have a stock SPL by looking at the bootloader, since a stock SPL will not say OliNex anywhere.
palosjr: AFAIK, there's no way to flash an SPL via SD card on the Rhodium, or most HTC Windows Mobile devices for that matter. I would highly recommend finding another computer, like one at your local library, to flash the SPL with.

It wont be detected by any computer. It only charges. For some reason it wont detect as a USB device, it always fails to load the drivers. I am going tomorrow to a DrCellPhone place to have them see what they can do with it, if it is the USB its 25 to get it replaced with a new warranty.
funny, I have exactly the same problem with the same device, everything is working (charge the battery, headphones via mini usb, ...) but I can not sync with my pc. I hoped that I need a special HTC usb cable for that?!
But I assume, that I have this problem due to the fact that I charged the battery with 5V and 2 Ampere ... maybe that has broken one connector?

I tried flashing a cooked ROM but now it stays on the splash screen.
I can get the striped screen up (IPL-0.50 SPL-1.07.0000) which displays USB when usb lead plugged in BUT I cant see the PDA through vista or xp-So I can't reflash using sync.I need to flash through SD card...this failed when i renamed the NBH file...Any help would be appreciated..Thanks
on + cam + reset and restore the original rom with Usb, also the actsyn dont see the phone.(xp not vista)
No good..I tried this, the trinity is invisible to the xp pc, but pc does make the connecting sound.
Try also the actsync no connect and no see the Phone(not connected). Only the original rom Work in this manner.

But if the PC makes the connecting sound then it is connected and flash should work. I always flash my phone this way.
In the device manager under Mobile Devices do you see HTC USB Sync?
BTW do you use Vista to flash? The vista drivers for the HTC USB Sync don't work.You have to install the drivers from XP to flash a phone this way.
Sounds to me like your phone is not unlocked, or does not have Hard SPL installed.
Be sure to read these forums to verify everything is set up correctly to flash cooked roms.

Good luck, and report back if you still cannot get it to work.
I can confirm that the phone IS unlocked, power+camera reset leaves it with striped screen, L/H + R/H softkey+reset gets it to bootloader and eventually to failed ROM splash screen,same with simple reset.
Connecting to XP gets a connect sound BUT phone is not displayed by exploring or by activesync.
Because the PC can't see the PDA, it can't flash. I feel flashing with SD card is the way forward...almost any rom would do-just to get PC to "see" PDA through USB. If anybody has a foolproof SD rom flash I would be grateful.Thanks

But did you look into the device manager after you hear the bingbong sound to see if there is a mobile device listed there?
If there is delete it, disconnect and reconnect.
Do you have olipro hard spl on your phone?
Noob scratching head lots!!
Hi Adejager, my PDA doesn't come up on the support screen at all. It MIGHT be a usb socket to Motherboard problem. I can sort that out later, after I flash through sd card. (BTW i don't have OLIPRO hard SPL). if I can get a rom flashed with card I can then move forward
you need to install hard spl, and it will solve your problem, i had same exact problem before.

Download the Hard-SPL file, unzip it and copy the .nbh file to the root folder of your Mini SD card, but be sure to rename it to "TRINIMG.nbh". Then, insert the SD card and boot into the bootloader.
Can any one help with this?
My Diamond has developed the short battery life/over heating problem, along with the USB connection having failed.
So I put the ROM back to the standard T-Mobile one via Wi-Fi to return for warranty repair.
However, I forgot to change the SPL back, so they are refusing to sort it.
My next thought was to get HTC to repair it, but thought I'd best stick the T-Mobile SPL back for good measure.
But the update failed (tried more than once) and I'm stuck on the bootloader with "Upgrade ROM Code Error, Please Try Again" and only "Serial" showing as a connection option, no USB (yes with a cable connected to a PC).
Is there anyway at all I can get to Internal Storage to try another update?
Thank you.
hello,
i had a similar problem. after flashin a buggy rom the diamond made a reboot and hang at the initializing screen. i tried a garanty repait but htc saw the spl and denys my garanty. so i started to ask google for help.
i got the device in bootloader mode, showing "serial". but i got no active sync connection. but after any tries i got the firmware update tool into "usb" mode and was able to flash. now my diamond is still alive.
maybe you have to play a bit to get it workin..
wish you luck..!
Try with another usb cable, computer. And explane me this

How you can flash rom via wi-fi :S
I've tried 3 PCs and as many USB cables, it appears to be a hardware fault tied in with the overheating...
And sorry, I didn't explain very well regarding the Wi-Fi.
I simply used that as a file transfer method as I couldn't connect via USB. Saved the SPL as diamimg.nbh and did the Vol- + Back reset.
Understand now. Maybe usb connector is damaged by overheating or something else. I can't help you anything because diamond don't have microsd card - can't flash via microsd method
Anytime I plug in the phone via the usb cable to my pc it just starts to charge and the icon only shows the charging icon. I have tried unchecking the fast sync option in USB to PC section but still nothing I have tried it on 3 different computers and 2 different cables and still no detection only the light starts to charge and the icon shows the charging plug. I also tried my headset and they get detected with no problem and work just fine. I also did a hard-reset so should I just call T-Mobile and get another one? or someone out there has a solution? Thanks in advance for any help you guys might be able to offer!
Which Windows do you have. I had the same problem on Windows Vista
I have Windows 7 and vista
If I have to send it back anyone know if I can relock the phone with out it being synced? I already have original T-Mobile rom on it just missing the splash screens and to lock it.

did you make sure you have the latest version of windows mobile device center installed on your pc and the latest service pack for vista. not sure about 7 though. plugged mine in for the first time and it came right up.
Try unistall all your USB drivers using this:
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
and than plug your phone in
i have this exact same problem and cant connect in disk drive, active sync, or interenet sharing. i think its a problem with a bad hardspl flash but since i cant connect and sync the phone I cant reflash the spl.
this sucks. no way to recover from this i believe.
Is it possible to SPL from the SD Card? Espically after you have allready done the SPL from the PC? Check the thread, I think you will find it is possible. If not they might be able to send you a new image file...
Good Luck!

thats what i was wondering. but is there a spl .nbh file around here?
hey sphinx, also whenever i plug in the usb cable to the charger and plug it in, i get the usb to pc pop-up as if i plugged it into the pc, do you have this as well, and cant seem to charge past 49% capacity.
Just tried the usb driver removal but that didn't help either I tried on 4 computers now and all do the same the phone just goes into charging and the computer never sees it this really sucks... I HardSPL my phone as soon as the HardSPL was available and everything was working fine but now for some reason it just stopped working.

Try posting to the SPL Thread... I am sure you will get a better response.
Hey there.
Ok I have a problem. I have had my touch pro 2 for about 6 months now and i am really happy with it, but recently i have ran into a problem.
My phone won't connect to my computer anymore! Not just my computer... no computer at all. Not just activesync, no, it doesn't recognise it at all, not even as a disk drive.
I doubt its the cable because it does charge, and i have tried another cable (not a htc cable but its a cable with the same plug, its from my external harddrive) and it still didn't work.
I also tried a hard-reset on my phone, but still... nothing.
Ive read somewhere that you should push the usb connector a bit up, i did that, but nothing (now the usb connector seems wiggly... glad it still charges though) i have no idea what it could be and i thought i'd post here first before going back to the dealer with it. Because without usb connection i can't install costum roms and that we wouldn't want that, do we?
Well, hope one of you guys can help!
That's very strange I have had it once, but that was due to the rom I used. I flashed another rom and it worked again.
What you could try is to download a new rom and put it on your sd car using this:
http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/
This let's you put stuff on your mobile using wifi. It's worth a try.
But you have to install roms directly from your pc to your phone, while being connected to USB right? The standards htc roms for example can only be installed that way i think... or can you also copy the .exe to your device and run that?
i'll give it a go when i get home. Thanks =]
I am having the same issue here. All of a sudden my PC or Laptop doesn't see the phone at all but it does charge with no issues. When I plug it in I don't even get the sound that the PC knows something was jut plugged into it.
go to settings - connection - usb to pc - untick the enable faster synchronization box
that should do it
As long as you have Hard SPLed your Rhodium you should be able to use the sd card method to install a rom instead of using the PC and usb connection.
You copy the rhodium.nbh file to the root directory of an sd card formatted FAT32 and then boot into bootloader - volume down and power button when off.
Follow the onscreen prompts...
Cheers...

What's interesting with my Tilt2 (not the OP) was that I wanted to flash my ROM with the new AT&T "unofficial" ROM and that's when I found out I couldn't tether. I basically just wanted to tether my phone so I could put that new ROM onto the phone to see if I could make it more reliable and faster. Sigh.
it actually might be the cord...
The same exact thing happened to me... my phone charged with the cord but no computer recognized it...
I bought a new usb cable from radio shack and viola it worked again... so I advise u just trying a new one and if it doesn't work take it back... but try the unchecking the "check for faster sync" box first like someone said bc that do stop it from being recognized sometimes...

Yes, this has (almost) always fixed the issue for me. Somehow WDC becomes blind to new device inserts after you plug-unplug them several times.
Slow but stable is better.
Ok, from browsing the forum and the net in general this problem appears all too common. Some definitve advice please??
The scenario-
1/ Sync has been happening with WMDC with no issues since i got it. SUddenly it stopped a month ago.
2/ Phone is still charging.
3/ Have tried several different cables
4/ All settings on phone correct
5/ Have hard reset phone several times
6/ Have uninstalled WMDC several times
Are there any other options??? I want to put the new ROM on but obviously am unable to at the minute. Incidently this inability to syncronise seems to have coincided with a major decline in battery standby time (which hasnt been rectifed even with 2 replacement batteries of different makes).
Are there any definitive answers for this issue??
- Did you try another computer?
- Did you try deleting the usb drivers on your pc?
If you want to flash another rom, you can just go into the bootloader, then plugin your usb cable and flash the same way as you would when using WMDC. Or flash true your sd card
If you go into the bootloader en plugin your usb, you can check if your usb on your phone is still working.
Thanks. Did the first two already. USB isnt recognised from bootloader, so that doesnt sound good.
This phone has an Orange Windows 6.1 ROM. Will i be able to flash the new HTC Rom via micro sd without Hard SPL???
Hardware failure. I guess a new USB connector (or just needs soldering, but this is not recommended) would be required.
I think i have to accept that, and its out of warranty.
Does the genuine HTC ROM need hard spl fashing to my Orange Rom machine from Micro SD??
In bootloader im ending up with a not-allow message.
Is there instruction on forum for hard spl from SD on touch pro 2? Cant seem to find anything via search.
Ok, found the official HTC Orange WM 6.5 upgrade and downloaded.
According to everything ive read, if i simply extract the RUU_signed file and rename RHODIMG.nbh; then place on my FAT32 formated Micro SD root; then put the phone to bootloader: it should work.
It doesnt.
Cany anyone help here or am i doomed to using the original Orange WM 6.1 Rom until i can afford a new phone??
