BraveSoul HTC Sync

After installing this wonderful new ROM BraveSoul, i have noticed that my computer no longer pick up my phone, or my phone doesent ask what type of connection i want "Disk Drive, Internet Shareing, HTC Sync etc...." i tryed doing it through the settings and still doesent work. Has anyone else got this problem? or know any workaround to this?
P.S I tryed with the usb debugging on and off and still no luck
Thanks.

I'm afraid that it sounds like you are USB bricked.
See here for more details.
If this is the case, I'm afraid that there isn't a fix as of yet.

Dave

I don't think it is because it charges fine which is good. Just had another reply saying to disable Ask what type of connection I want which I will try later. I will post back later to see if that works

Sorry - I rather assumed that if you knew enough to flash a new ROM, you'd know how to change the setting to ask what you want to do when connected to USB.
That being said, if you were USB bricked, you'd still be able to charge via USB.

[Q] Jesus Help me... seriously everything is FCing

OK background info: I am running Skyraider 2.5.2 with the Hydra Kernel #2 and 2.15 radio. That said, my phone was working fine this morning and all day really until I did this:
I hooked up my phone to my XBOX 360 so I could listen to some music on my home theater. The xbox was NOT detecting the portable drive, so I double checked it was set to 'disk drive' and I even turned of USB debugging in case that was an issue. Then my phone fades to black and suddenly I'm staring at the Unrevoked splash image. No problem, I figured. Wrong!
When it booted back up I slid over the lock screen button and the phone starts loading programs (ones that I dont normally see in the notification bar ie: startup manager) Then I'm hit with a barrage of Force Closes. Like a dozen of them. Pandora, SWype, and my beautiful widgets clock and weather are not loading on the homescreen either. I look in the apps directory and my apps2SD program is gone, just gone. It was there when I woke up this morning I do know that much.
So what the hell is going on? Does it have something to do with me plugging it into the Xbox, and why is my apps to sd program gone? Is that why a lot of prgrams are all FC. Also, Pandora was definitely on internal storage and NOT on the SD card.
I hadn't made a Nand backup in a little bit, so I can't do that.
What is the easiest way to get back to normal?
Do I have to go back to bare stock? Or can I just wipe everything and run Titanium?
Please, any suggestions would be immensely appreciated. Like I said it seems like this all happened right out of the blue.
ALso, whenj I start Astro File manger, the user agreement comes up like I've never used the program before, then it FC's and when I re-open it, it does the same thing with the user agreement even though I just f***** used it!

I can't open up anything!! ROM manager is suddenly NOT INSTALLED ON MY PHONE. This is bull-expletive!
...ok Market actually opened and allowed me to download ROM manager.. Now to see if I can open it.. NOPE!
Now the market is telling me i have 22 updates lol

i would do a hard reset and reinstall sky raider

hard reset= wipe/factory reset?

Yup, factory reset and then you can use Titanium to get back to where you were the last time you backed up.

you seriously tried to connect your phone to xbox 360 through a usb port and set to disk drive...

Yeah I didn't realize that would be a bad thing. Got just about everything back to normal now. Sorry for all the caps, but I was pissed. I hate having to redo all this crappy time after time. I'm sure ill be at it again when the ota rolls out this week.
So hooking up to xbox screws up Android phones? Who knew

That's not a bad idea, I just tried it with mine, and it worked fine. The 360 can play media (Video, Audio) off any USB storage, which is exactly what the Incredible presents when set to disk mode.
Mine is stock though.

hey
just a guess, but it got messed up b/c you had apps2sd enabled. I bet if you try it w/o it enabled, it will work just fine!

I believe that my problem was stemmed from a glitch in the apps2sd app. Someone else was using it and experienced the same problem.
Beware of that app.

S3 suddenly stopped being able to connect to computers

Hi there,
Not sure if anybody else has experienced this. Suddenly my S3 stopped being able to be recognized as a device by any computer. It will charge when plugged into USB. I have checked and fast charge isn't turned on. I have uninstalled the drivers from all my computers, I've tried this on a mac and a PC.
I'm on Task's AOKP Rom. But I have tried other Roms and the problem still persists. So I'm thinking it's a problem with my S3. Right now it's very annoying in that I have to always pop out my SD card to transfer files to my phone.

Did you check the oil?
Edit: I'm joking haha. But you might want to try another cable. It's almost always the cable.

The fact that you changed ROMs makes this less likely, but maybe you have a kernel that has Fast Charge on?

Probably not. Go to settings - USB Connection and check MTP. It works better than the other one.

Strange, I remember seeing that option on the stock TW rom, but I can't seem to find it in Task's AOKP rom, I noticed you're on AOKP too, would you mind giving a bit more detail on where that option is?

I know this isn't the perfect solution, but if you ever get yourself into a situation where the wire won't work and you really need to transfer files and you're on reliable wifi give AirDroid a try. Free app, that allows you to transfer files from a web browser. Saved me many many times. Sorry I can't help with the original issue!

I had the same problem with my stock/rooted ATT s3. Tried a multitude of cables and settings, but what finally worked was a bit of advice from another site. Power the phone off, pull the SD card, and try again. For me this worked. I do not have a good explanation why, but it ended a good bit of frustration.
Good luck to you.

Tried this and other -- nothing works

I've been having the same trouble, and tried this and other "fixes" (like in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049834) but nothing seems to work.
My situation is perhaps a little different, but this is what I know:
New Rogers SGS3 (I747M) - never rooted, or anything fancy
Plugged it into Kies the first time, and told me there was a Jelly Bean update
Did the update.
Now no computer will detect it - 2 PCs and a MAC.
I've installed and uninstalled drivers off and on for weeks
Tried Odin mode and Odin on 2 PCs
Doesn't even show up in the Windows Device list.
ADB doesn't see it (I assume because the driver doesn't see it)
Nada.
I only have one cable - the one that came with it.
People often talk of making sure it's in MTP mode, but I have no USB settings in my "settings" (JB is different?) though I think I can set it through the PhoneUtil suggested in the link above.
Created an account here (and watched the Noob video!) just to ask this question. All I can think of is that I must have broken something on the phone. Does anyone have any more suggestions or should I just take the phone back to Rogers and say it's broken?
Thanks a bunch!
Ian

Uninstall Kies
Uninstall Drivers
Reboot
Hook up the phone and let Windows Update get whatever drivers it can. It won't get them all
Unhook phone
Install the I747 drivers
Do NOT install Kies
Hook da fone back up

Still nothing

First and foremost - thanks.
But nothing happens. Uninstalled everything AND used the registry editor to get rid of everything "Samsung" and "Kies". I've now noticed, that I don't even get the windows "da-dump" when you plug a USB device in.
It seems there are no SGH-I747M specific drivers (are there?), just the "Samsung USB driver for mobile phones". Is that right?
So, I'm still stuck. The thing charges, but NOTHING else.
Any more ideas?

Thanks for the response but that didnt seem to help.
I'm curious if its a hardware issue or something else. I've restored a backup i had to see if that helped but nothing. If i return to stock unrooted will that help? Or does someone have an idea as to why and how to fix this? Thanks for any help.

No idea. I did some searches for something like "android stuck usb charge only" and came up with the below. Some folks said that they were able to fix it, though not permanently, by wiping. The above seemed to work for some, though again, not permanently. I wasn't able to find anything else.
Did you try connecting to other PC's?
Did you try removing the device from your PC's device manager, uninstall the driver, then reinstall the driver and reconnect?
I agree it seems hardware'ish because it's also a problem with the MHL cord, too. I wish I could help more, but there's not much out there about being stuck in charge only mode.
Are you still under Manufacterer's warranty? Maybe that can be returned because it won't mount.?

Dont have another PC so that option cant be tested now. I removed the device and unistalled/reinstalled drivers and nothing.
Warranty is not an option because its past due. I do have insurance but am afraid of not getting an OG in return and i dont know how all that works to be honest.
I am willing to return to stock but only one concern i have is losing all my data. How do i backup pics and documents without being able to connect to pc? PLEASE can someone show me the way. Thanks again for all responses.

I started having this problem after installing the latest LG drivers. Replicated the issue on 3 different Windows 7 PCs. 1 32-bit home-built, 1 64-bit Gateway laptop with OEM image, 1 64-bit HP Laptop with work image.
Before upgrading, phone connects fine with in both MTP & PTP modes just using built-in (or pulled from WU) drivers. After upgrading to LG drivers, PC no longer detects the phone. Uninstalling the drivers or going backwards to earlier versions does not fix the problem.

Again,thanks to everyone for their responses, I really appreciate it. But unfortunately nothing seems to be helping my issue. I'm going by my wife's job to hook up to her computer to see if hers can recognize my phone, well at least I hope.
One thing I ask of someone, I've been using Arliberator to connect to my radio. Maybe someone has more knowledge than me to help.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5reWxlLmFybGliZXJhdG9yIl0.
Anyways, it has an option under settings to "fix drivers" which I have no idea what it does so i never messed with it. Except for when it wouldnt connect to the radio, I pressed it. Could that have anything to do with it not connecting to pc? I've emailed the dev of this app but have gotten no response as to what it does.
I'm really at a loss here as I can still use my phone but not to its full potential. Its frustrating because I cant even return to stock to see if it will fix my issue. Is there any other way to return to stock without a pc? Like can i flash a stock RUU? I ask because I once had an Evo 4g and was able to do it that way.
Again, thanks to everyone's responses.

I finally heard from the dev of ARLiberator and he guarantees me his app has nothing to do with my phone and that the "fix drivers" is for the app only. He says to try and reset my phone to try and solve my issue. But wouldn't that completely erase my phone?
Idk how I got here...

[Q] PC won't recognize USB (no error message)

My Phone
Hi, Uber-noob here. I have the sprint samsung gs3, Model number sph-l710, android version 4.1.2. I had stock rooted my phone via QBKing77's video (thanks man!) and had had no problems, including connecting my phone by USB (PDA net, Odin, etc.) to my PCs.
My Problem
For no reason I can see, my laptop(s) stopped recognizing my phone. There is no message, the pc acts as though nothing was plugged in, no message. Device manager shows nothing either. The ONLY sign that my phone was plugged in at all is the "battery charging" icon on my phone.
What I've Done
I use a good data cable that used to work, and have bought and tried a new one. I have tried 2 other computers. I have reinstalled the USB drivers. I have pulled the battery from my phone, waited, and put it back in. I just did a factory reset. Nothing has changed.
I hope someone here can help me figure this out, cause I'm stumped. Please let me know if I can provide any more info. Thanks!

I would still try another cable because I've cables quit working out of the blue before. Also, it may help if you go to device manager and uninstall/remove your USB hub and then restart your computer...it will automatically detect and reinstall it.

I would try with a linux livecd/liveusb to rule out a driver issue. Also try a different cable. Or make sure your cable works - try with another device or computer.
And there really should be no need for extradrivers if you plug it in a mass storage mode. At least my two phones work with Win7, Ubuntu and Crunchbang otb.

Hello, I'm not familiar with linux at all so that would be more of a last resort. However, I have tried multiple computers and a brand new data cable so that is not the answer probably. I appreciate the suggestion though!

That was a good idea! But it didn't work unfortunately. I'm starting to think that I may have a bad micro USB port in my phone. But the phone charges just fine, so I dunno. I hope you have more ideas? Thanks a lot dor the advice!

Yeah could be one of the pins in the port is messed up. Would explain why it charges, but no data connection.

I swear I tried every suggested solution out there – uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Rebooting in download mode and trying to get phone and PC top lay nice. I accessed all those hidden settings and poked around with the settings. Three hours of tooling around the web looking for solutions and I got nowhere. Then I came across some obscure site where somebody suggested the pins might be off. With the care of a surgeon, I slipped the tip of a knife into my phone's USB port and nudged it every so slightly. Plugged and in and there was that elusive USB symbol, offering up all those grand options. I would've bet anything that this was some complex driver issue, but no. It was a slightly bent pin in that tiny opening at the bottom of my SIII. I'm not sure if I should be elated or annoyed at all the time wasted. I hope you guys find your own solutions, whatever they prove to be. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.
