After flashing fresh's new fresh toast kernel over fresh 0.5.3, my usb stopped working. The LED turns on when plugged in and it charges, I just can't mount SD, ADB doesn't detect it, etc. It's happened before and last time I followed http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=695243 that guide to fix it. I tried it this time a few times with no success. I even restored my nandroid from right after I rooted and following the guide still didn't work. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
that has happened to me when I was messing around with my rom and removed some things I shouldn't have. My resolution was wiping everything and flashing a new rom.
crazy and odd as it sounds, it happened to me and I was going crazy trying to figure it out. I gave up and the next day went to plug another phone into the same usb cable and the computer didn't recognize it either. I left the computer on all night so it hadn't been turned off since I had the problem on my evo.
Sure enough, I rebooted the computer, it recognized the evo and was able to mount the drive.
So, if you haven't tried, reboot your computer.

Here's the issue for me. My computer is not recognizing my properly, or it could be the only way around. The phone only charges, and is never picked up as a usb disk drive. I have confirmed that it's a problem with my phone itself, as my friend's EVO 4G, hooked up to my computer using the same cable, connects and is recognized as a disk drive just fine. We tried swapping out microSD cards to see if it could be something with that, and his phone was still picked up fine with my microSD in it. I think my phone may be partially rooted.
I tried SimpleRoot 1.47.651.1 on my phone at my friend's house a few days ago (4-click method), and for some reason, it never completed. His computer would pick up my phone as a disk drive perfectly fine, but on the last step (reboot and scan) it would never finish, even after letting it sit for a few hours; step 3 was saying something about not being able to identify the correct cache from the browser or something like that. I'm thinking that the partial root may've flubbed up the phone?
Right now, I'm trying to look up which root method my friend tried to work on my phone. It involved PC36IMG.zip and an update named s-u-*something*. I'm still new to the EVO, not like the Droid. Anyway, that root method failed for some reason (no errors in HBOOT, but never asked if I wanted to reboot). I've tried to factory reset, and nothing. I got my phone sitting here while I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what to do. I'm well-versed in ADB, but if my computer can't pick up my phone properly, it's all for naught. Anyone have any ideas to get me on the right foot? I can still pop out the microSD and put it into the computer directly, too. Sorry for the tl;dr candidate.
Quick update/bump.
I upgraded my phone to OTA Froyo, and now USB debugging shows up, but I don't get the "Connect to PC" menu still. Is this phone fubared?
HTC Sync not recognizing phone
I was having the same problem with 2 Evos. The phone would accept a charge from the USB port and the computer would even install the driver sometimes. Then nothing. I tried again last night after I pulled the 2.2 update and it worked! I think HTC might not have had Windows 7 Starter edition covered until this update.
Here's the thing, I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I'm having this problem on 2 EVOs, also. I've updated them both to stock 2.2 OTA, and still nothing. =/
I did just read on here somewhere that a fix was to delete the drivers for the phone and sd card and reinstall them.
For some unknown reason, my USB port on my EVO has decided to stop working. It charges perfectly, when connected to either my PC or wall charger. The port is in perfect condition, no issues with the pins, I have tried multiple USB cables, and personally use the provided HTC cable. I have also plugged my phone into multiple computers, all resulting in the same issue, I have even flashed PSFreedom recovery on to my phone, and tried jailbreaking my PS3, that doesn't even recognize my phone. Bottom line the issue is the phone
As far as my phone goes, I have full root with NAND unlocked, S-Off. I had been running CM6 with snap 7.6, for a long time, until the terrible battery life was too much to bear. I have since flashed BakedSnack, a stock rooted 2.2, and CM6.1 RC1, with multiple kernels, all leaving me in the same position.
I have tried Calkulins USB fix multiple times, I have reflashed my radios as well to no avail. I have updated hboot, multiple times, originally (when problem started) I was on 0.73.2000, later upgraded to 0.76.2000, tried 0.79.0000, and even 0.93.0000, with no luck from any of them. I should also take this time to mention that I receive the same message, USB device not recognized, even in hboot, and in recovery.
I have reflashed my misc partition, to hopefully fix the issue, and still it did not. I have flashed the 2.2 root PC31IM.IMG, still with no luck, and have essentially rerooted my phone.
At this point I have crossed many possibilities off the list. It is not the cable, my computer, my Rom, my kernel, hboot, my misc partition, and not likely the USB port as the phone recognizes that theres a usb cord attached to the PC (on certain Roms/kernels only). For example, with stock CM6, nothing, phone doesn't even recognize USB, with CM6 and Snap (Any version) the phone recognizes the USB is connected and offers USB Storage.
I Suppose one of these things could still be the issue, maybe the misc partition isn't taking my flash. I have flashed multiple times though with the appearance of success. The only thing I haven't done is flash the update.zip fix for the HTC Desire at MaDaCo, which would be a terrible idea in the first place.
I'm running out of ideas, and would really appreciate any help on the matter at this point.
Thank you in advance,
Sincerely,

I've tried rebooting, wiped cache and Dalvik, pulled the battery and no success. This recently started happening. Running:
MYN RLS5
NetArchy 4.3.1-bfs-havs w/sbc
Rev 0003
Also rebooted pc and tried a different USB port and still no luck. I'm unable to upload any files because of this. Any suggestions? Oh this all occurs when plugging into a PC. The other weird thing is that it thinks it's plugged into AC when plugged into a USB port.

Flash your rom again, it will probably fix it. I had the exact opposite problem if you can believe it. Every time I plugged in it would automatically mount the SD card for file transfer, even though the screen had popped up and I selected charge only. Reflashing my rom at the time cleared it up.
What happens when you pull down the notification menu and click the charging button? Is the button even there, or does the options menu not come up when you click it?
I had the same thing happen same rom 2 days ago still doesnt work on my windows 7 I tried on my old computer and it worked "old computer is windows xp"

You can also make sure "pc syncronization" is running. If you have it disabled or have removed it you will get this problem. Not saying this is the problem you are having just something to check.

Did you try going into menu/settings/connect to PC & seeing if "Ask me" is checked or not?

Thanks....reflashing the ROM after doing a factory reset did the trick!

Just for future reference, the problem you're talking about here was probably due to Doubletwist or Winamp. Both have options that will cause it to mount regardless of what you choose in the prompt. I think they default to off normally, but you might have turned it on by mistake. I did that with Winamp once and it drove me nuts until I figured out what was doing it.
I spoke too soon. I flashed everything 1 at a time, ROM, then, kernel, then themes; did a wipe cache and dalvik wipe everytime. It was working last night and now I get to work today and it's not. I've even tried in recovery mode (clockwork) to mount the USB, but nothing happens. This is getting to be frustrating now. Only thing different is the cables; the cable at home is a cheap dollarstore cable which works with no problems and the cable here at work is from a blackberry which has been working fine. I've even rebooted my desktop which is running WinXP. Any suggestions? Not running winAMP or doubletwist as they suck.
I also get a strange error when wiping cache:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
Any idea what this is or means?
I have no idea what the error means, but here's what I'd do.
Flash things one at a time and give it a few hours to see if it'll still work. Full wipe, flash rom. See if it stops working. Then do the same with the kernel, then with each individual theme piece you flash. Something you're flashing is screwing with the USB part of the device. Once you flash something and the USB doesn't work, don't flash that anymore and let it's dev know so s/he can fix it.
The troubleshooting process is often a long and ridiculous, but figuring out the problem will feel so much better.
I plugged into a co-workers PC and the phone was recognized right away. This narrows it down to problem with my desktop PC. I am using a 4-port USB hub on my desk which has been working flawlessly with this phone and others. I did have my pc swapped out last week, so maybe the usb port is bad on the PC.
I changed usb ports that the hub was plugged into on the pc and low and behold, the phone is being recognized again! Now I just need to figure out what that weird error is when I wipe cache:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
It sounds like the 2 data connections on the port you were using must be shorted together, or at least not connecting. If it thinks it's connected to AC, as you mentioned earlier, it won't present the connection options. There are also some cables that are designed for charging only and have those pins shorted in the cable, but it sounds like you got it working on another computer with the same cable. That would lead me to suspect the port. Does anything else work when you plug it in that port?
I'm running cyanogenmod 7 on my evo 4g and when I plug it into a computer it only charges and never prompts me if I want to connect as a disk drive. It used to but now it just stopped. I had a backup of my rom so I put it on my girlfriends evo and hers still connected to the pc like normal but mine will not give me the option to hook up through USB. My computer says unknown device. Any help would be great. I can provide more info if you need.
More info. It gives me code 43 in windows 7. I was able to hook it up in xp but when I tried doing anything it no longer was able to detect the phone. I did a factory reset and it still doesn't work. I'm at a complete loss. I feel the only thing left to do is revert completely back to stock losing root and starting from scratch.
perhaps try completely uninstalling the device from windows in Device Manager. Then plug it in again and let it re-install the drivers

I've tried that on two different computers with windows 7. My gfs fone reads fine with the exact same rom but mine wont.
It seems like the drivers on the phone are corrupted or something. At one point I found a forum that suggested to turn off bluetooth and a few other things. I decided to see if turning off my wifi would do anything and finally my phone showed the usb debugging notification and the mount as usb notification but it wouldn't mount so I restarted my phone and now it's back to doing nothing but charge the phone.
The only difference between the two phones is the rom then? Perhaps make a backup and flash a different rom or re-flash your current rom to see if that helps

I actually took a backup of my rom and put it on my gfs phone and hers worked. we had the exact same rom. I will try installing a different rom however and i'll let you know what happens.
Okay so I had a back up of sinister rom so I restored it and now it asks me if I want to connect as a usb device and so I do and my computer still says usb device not recognized or whatever.
Wow so I tried a backup of sinister rom that I had and suddenly it asked if i wanted to connect as a disk drive but windows was still saying usb device not recognized. I reverted all the way back to stock losing root privileges and it still doesn't work. It appears to me that it is a hardware problem. I don't know what else to do.
ok, so I hooked my phone up to a computer with ubuntu on it and my phone showed up but then when I went to explore the sd card it said permission denied. Then I hooked it up in windows 7 and it showed unknown device under universal serial bus controllers(as usual) but it also had it under modem, which is what I want.
Okay, got it working on this computer. After plugging the phone in several times it still said device not recognized. I have also been pushing ##data# and it was saying the same thing. I decided to shut my phone off one last time and when I hooked it up i pushed ##diag# and now it works. ****ing stupid. Glad it's working now.
UPDATE: Now all of the drivers install when I plug the phone in except the HTC DIAG doesn't appear even when i enter diag mode on the phone. this is the only driver i need installed but i can't install it because the computer isn't picking up that part of the device....This is getting irritating.
Turns out my port is ****ed up. I'm gonna have to order a new one and replace it.
I've done some searches, here and on google, and I couldn't find anyone with the exact problem as mine, and non of the solutions I tried worked. Thanks ahead of time for reading.
Yesterday, I was running Sirius ROM on my SGH-T898 Galaxy SII, and for the first time running this ROM, my battery level reach below 15%, and a pop up message suggested I plug the phone in to charge. When I did this, I noticed for the first time that my desktop at work is not recognizing the device and saying that it malfunctioned. I didn't think much of it. Later in the day, I decided to restore my stock backup and update to ICS via Kies. Darkstar Superwipe ----> Restore backup. Once I plugged the phone into my laptop at home, I noticed again that windows in not recognizing my phone, and saying that it malfunctioned. I attempted re-installing the drivers via Kies multiple times with no success. I've tried 3-4 cables and 3 computers, still no success. I've used an electronic duster and lint remover, thinking perhaps some lint or something is preventing a connection - no luck. I've tried dialing *#7284#, and changing those settings - no luck. I've trying the usb debugging checkbox in applications/development - no luck. Now I am back to the ROM Malice (which i had before the ICS Sirius), still, with no luck of connecting to a computer. The phone charges, and works perfectly fine. I can access the files on the SD through the phone with no issues (i.e play music). The last time I could successfully connect to a computer was this past Saturday morning, and those files successfully transferred to my knowledge (I can listen to that particular album).
Guys, what could possibly be my issue!?
Thanks for your time!
Anyone?
