My mac is unable to detect my phone since I flashed Cyan 6 Test 8 Koush, as such I am unable to use adb. Given that I use a mac I assume this is not a driver issue. Phone is able to recharge via USB and USB debugging is enabled. I have found this issue (USB Brick) for the desire on this site but it involves flashing a rom unique to that device. Any ideas on how to resolve issue? Other than USB brick issue, everything is in order.
My card reader is able to read SD card and I have copied to my HD, so I assume issue is with USB on phone.
The only thing I can think of is that your phone somehow got stuck on "Charge Only" mode. In the stock version you can go to Settings, Connect to PC and then change some options there... I do not use this rom though so I'm sorry I can't help you other any further (I'm sure you likely already knew about the above info... if no one responds to you with an answer within a couple days I'd consider asking the Indian Prince of Roms himself... and I know he uses a Mac).
I assume you are mounting your system in recovery while trying to get adb?

Yes. Device is not found. Can't view contents via finder either. When I pop out SD card and insert into reader contents are visible.

Obviously you will need to try it from a terminal emulator.
I recently had the same issue - on a PC - where my CM6 test 8 install would charge but not register as a USB device and give me device malfunction warning messages. Turns out it was a problem with a non-HTC branded micro USB cable I was using.
Odd thing is it worked fine for a month or so, then decided to not work anymore out of any USB port. Switching over to the original cable fixed the problem. Now the other cable is relegated to the stock charger.
This should also fix usb bricks.

Thank you. I am on the road, so I won't be able to implement your solution until later. The procedure you outlined seems simple enough. I will reread. Is it ok if I email you with any questions, or would you prefer that I address my questions via this forum?

Funny thing is that I did not notice the problem until I changed cables. I was using a third party w/no problems, problem only surfaced when I used original cable. Hopefully I will have same luck as you, if not, adrynalyne posted near idiot proof instructions. I just hope that I am brighter than your average idiot, no promises.
adrynalyne, if my hboot is .77 could I simply flash PBI131.img to revert back to original? If not, could I use terminal emulator on my phone to execute necessary commands?
Answer from adrynalyne was "Well, yeah. the PB31IMG.zip should work, as long as it lets you. The other method would need to be done if it won't."
I was able to resolve the problem by switching usb cord to a 3rd party from htc, go figure. Nevertheless, the USB issue has been cited in other forums and if anybody else runs into the problem, follow directions above, i.e. follow links.
TY to all who gave me advice, esp. adrynalyne.
hey, umm.. im having a similar problem. when i try to plug in my droid incredible with the leaked 8/1 froyo rom, nothing comes up on my PC, i am able to acces my sd card by going to computer, and then clicking my sd card. but when i did this, i also noticed that there was a new cd drive, which comes from my phone. does anyone know if this is a usb brick?
Apparently there is a vzw ISO. There are instructions on how to remove in another post. Search USB bricked. I can't post links otherwise I would.

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...

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...

Hello guys, just gonna state my problem and ask a few questions.
So, here it is. If I connect my phone to pc/laptop nothing happens, no notifs appear on my phone neither mtp or mass storage. But, when I connect my phone through electricity socket it charges up. Oh, another thing sometimes when I connect my phone to pc/laptop ports it charges up but still no connection to storage/or phone. This just happened last night after from my hospital duty and got home and tried to flash fxp128(love this work) and my phone wont be recognized at all.
So, I've searched up google not that deep but, I found some issues just like mine. Some said its a the laptop problem just need a restart, change cables, remove battery, try in different computer/laptop and etc cases like those. Alreadt tried everthing of those but non seems to work. So, i think my phone hardware(the usb port in my phone) is really the problem. My questions are:
It is repairable?
The repair fee costly or not?
Will this thing will likely come up again?(low chance/high chance of getting this problem again.)
PS: I remember that while on the hospital(free time) i tried to open the rom manager but it fc's when i try launching it.(everytime)
- and my 8gb type 4 sd is broken even through card reader it cant be read. ( dont know what caused this) so i change to class 2 4gb my spare card.
Hope you answer me guys, thank you!
tbh. your phone worked perfectly, and after flashing fxp128 you get problems and directly assume your phone is broken Instead of going back to stock and figure out if it really is.
Usb connection problem could also be caused by not having the com.sonyericsson.usbux "systemapp" or other things.

If you're using windows, try to uninstall the portable device at device manager window, while the usb is attached to your phone. Then disconnect the phone after you've uninstalled. After that reconnect it once more and see to it that the drivers are installed properly. It's usually USB mass storage or MTP USB device storage.
I'm hoping someone can help me here, and before people say it, yes I have done a search and tried different options but nothing seems to work.
I'm on 0.93 hboot with s-off and fully rooted for years.
The problem?
I was running Nikez Rom on my Desire and it had a few rebooting issues but nothing to be alarmed of. However after one of these reboots the phone did not charge, computer displays a 'power surge on USB' message and disables usb port. Fastboot is not recognised and fastboot USB does not appear when I connect. Using adb does not identify the device either.
What I have tried to do to resolve
Having read several forum posts around USB bricks and fixing fastboot to changing mtd0.IMG files, nothing has seemed to work. Alternatively, it could be me not following things or not doing things in a logical manner. I have also done a factory reset and flashed sandvold Rom but that hasn't helped either.
Help
I am now almost at the end of my tether (no pun intended), so would really appreciate some help in trying to fix this problem.
What I have not done
I have not yet flashed the stock ruu, but not sure how that would work either if my computer disables the USB port anyway.
Skill level
I'm not an expert so please be gentle.
Thanks

You are SOFF so the easy way to fix usb brick is to flash 4ext recovery since it has got an inbuilt usb brick repairer. However you are saying fastboot is not working. Even with usb brick fastboot should work. That leads me to believe that the problem may be elsewhere. I would check the computer once.

Thanks, tried 4ext fix usb brick option also, but did not work. I have a Sensation as well and that works fine re computer, so I don't believe it's a computer issue.
Also, the mains charger (plug) light goes off as soon as I put the Desire on charge but comes back on when I remove the phone from the mains charger - which leads me to believe there is something wrong with the phone usb software, but don't know what that could be.
Are there and other options for me to try? Is my phone usb bricked?
You can try the Unbrick option in 4ext recovery.
Also try on a different USB port or even a different PC.

I dont think the problem is software related. I say this bacause the usb port is not working in either fastboot, recovery or rom. Each of these has got its own usb software and they cant all be bad. It seems to be hardware related. I got a feeling your usb port is fried. Most probably it has a short because your mains charger light is fanning out.

Pulled the battery out of the phone, out it on mains charge, but still main charger light goes off.
Tried another battery & it does the same thing. Tried different mains charger and it does the same thing.
How do I prove it's a hardware or a software issue?
Should I try a stock RUU?
Having read other forums regarding USB bricks, people have been able to access fastboot usb, but I can't.
So, I don't really know what the problem is.
I got fixed by this method.
androidforums [dot] com/desire-support-troubleshooting/485991-pls-help-stuck-cant-mount-sd-card-recovery [dot] html
check above link, replace [dot] 's with " . " (period)
boot to fastboot (back+power) and use the following command in command prompt
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
This will enable the SDcard function in recovery
fastboot oem eraseconfig
This should fix the usb brick
reflash the rom you want from your recovery (you will need to wipe device via recovery 1st)

Thanks for your message, but the issue is every time I connect the phone to my laptop (and I've tried this on two different laptops), I get a message as below:
"One of the USB devices attached to the computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it."
It seems the charge on the USB port of the phone has gone corrupt - if that's at all possible.
Once I get fastboot USB working, I'll be good to go.
I'm on BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.93.1002
RADIO-5.17.05.23
Surely I can't be the only person to have this issue??
Also, I can access my sd card via ES Explorer.
On most of the usb brick issues, I believe the sd card is inaccessible. However, I can access it.
Therefore, I don;t even know whether my phone has a usb brick or whether it's something else?
Anyone?

Ok it could be one of 4 things and you kocked one off the list,your USB ports,now the other 3 are your cable,like the man above me suggested or you could be in debug mode,or it could be you need to reboot your system,here,ill explain:
Simply UNPLUG YOUR COMPUTER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY. Yes that’s it! Note that this does not mean just turning off your computer because modern computers don’t really turn off when you press the power button as the motherboard still gets power.
First to explain, the motherboard is where all of hardware of the computer is connected to, including the USB ports. Sometimes the motherboard needs to be “rebooted” also because something can go wrong, i.e. all your USB ports suddenly stop working. The small microprocessor on the motherboard will reload the drivers and your USB ports should be back to recognizing all devices!
So first turn off your computer using Shut Down or pressing the power button and then UNPLUG it from the wall outlet. Let it sit for about a minute and then plug it back in.See if that works for ya.
I had that same issue and it was cause I had a loose charging port I just place in in its proper place and everything work good

It works if done correctly. I've done it many times.
So my phone was mounting fine on my pc, and then all of a sudden it wasn't. My Nexus 7 still mounts properly and accepts developer commands, but the m8 won't (yes developer settings is on).
I tried wiping and flashing a rom clean and it still doesn't work, charges fine though. Any advice?

You might try a different cord.
Open Device Manager in Windows and then plug the phone in. Do you see it in the list with a little yellow triangle? Do you see Android USB Devices listed?
OP after literally messing with various driver files, 8 usb ports and 2 laptops, I dug out my old box of cables and found a taped up, on its last limb OEM HTC EVO 4g (not lte the original) cable. This thing has been through the ringer. But its exactly what It needed. I figured with the 3 cable I had already tried this wasn't the issue, but have you tried using an OEM cable? I guess that is all that works. Good Luck

Uninstall all HTC drivers and HTC Sync. Then connect the phone. DO NOT choose the option to automatically install any drivers.
Open Device Manager, find the phone. Select the option to manually pick the driver, and select the generic MTP device driver.
This is what worked for me, after countless attempts at re-installing various HTC drivers, different cables and ports, etc.
Bump. Still looking for answer to this. I have RUU'ed both to Sense and Google Phone editions and the problem still persists, the phone does not detect its connected to a computer and change to mtp accordingly. Only way I was able to get the RUU in there was through fastboot, which is again the only time I can access the phone through usb. Adb is no luck in either android or recovery.

Have you tried revoking the USB debugging authorization and then accepting the RSA fingerprint key again when connecting to PC?
Obviously it can't be an USB cable problem if you can connect to it in bootloader mode and use fastboot commands.
To clarify, the phone just charges when connected, it does not detect that it is connected to PC so debugging doesn't even trigger, neither does mtp. I don't even get the slow charging notification
Does it do the same when you plug it in and reboot the computer to "pick up" during boot up process? Or if you run a live CD? I never had an issue like that with my phone but I did have a similar problem with the USB external blu ray drive I bought some time ago. The pc just didn't detect it at all not on any of the ports until I rebooted my PC with the drive already plugged it and for some reason it picked it up. <Not a solution as I don't know what caused it to not be detected in the first place but still...
Not sure if it's an issue with the device(Phone for you, blu ray drive for me) or if it's a problem with the PC even though other things might still work for you as it definitely did for me(phone, headset, mouse, keyboard, usb extender + all the external hard-drives connected to it)...
Problem exists in all computers, Mac, pc, linux
Did you try what I suggest in Post #6 above?
This worked for me when I had the same issue. adb and fastboot would work, but it would not mount MTP.
And just in the last day or 2 I helped someone else with the same issue and fix.
The phone doesn't show up in device manager.
Have you modify the Kernel? (Applying some settings for example)
I browsed over the web for this issue and found some people with the same problems. They solved by removing the settings applied on the kernel or flashing a new one.
I've flashed various kernels and ruu, still same result
