i have seen a problem with alot of heros and mine, to do with when it is connected to computer the drop down menu doesn't appear for sync or mount sd card. i have tried everything and nothing works, the only way you can connect to pc is through fastboot i've tried to -
- checked enable debugging
- update my recovery (thought it was a bad flash)
- reflash radio roms (thought it was a bad flash because someone else had this problem)
- updated hboot
- updated roms
- tried a few different usb cables
- drivers up to date and reinstalled ( mojos post) edit
anyone know what i could do to totally wipe my phone and start again? like original radio, rom, hboot, recovery. thanks in advance for help, i know quiet a few people could do with the help.
Solution found!
i dont know how it worked but it did,
- i installed a 2.1 eris rom which got things rolling on the phone
- installed the new htc sync that was taken from the legend in this post! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=653351
- returned back to madaco 3.2 and works perfectly!
Try re-installing the drivers on your computer.
hmm maybe a stupid and too simple suggestion, but are you using any kind of task killer app ? try ignoring the pc sync process,
worked for me,

Install an RUU.

Sparra, i'm having this problem also. Extended discussions have been happening on Modaco too.
foxmeister: you can't instal an RUU if you can't get the phone connected via USB
thanks people, going to try killing pc sync task dont think it will work though maybe will, yeah cant install ruu because phone doesnt connect to computer if you look at OP.
i had the same problem with my phone, had to send it in for repair as even after flashing the RUU update in fastboot i couldnt get anything

there is a thing call micro sd card reader.
before ur phone crash do u did a nandroid backup? if u do pls try restore to the previous one =)
i would of done this but my original nandroid backup was lost!! , wonder if anyone elese has an original unbranded nandroid backup? would be good to try.
From what I can see, you CAN flash roms (updated recovery/hboot etc). ADB is working?
My guess is that you're using one of the Eclair based roms, in which usb-pc didn't work.
Try downloading mountusb from the market.
Yeah sorry i can flash roms through recovery, but no adb, computer doesn't recognise the phone.
I can connect in fastboot and all works to pc in that, I have modaco 3.1 and have used all versions of his Rom, problems started around version 2.5 or so.
Ive also tried mount usb! Might have to send back to htc!
If you put your phone into fastboot and connect, can you then run an RUU against it?
Regards,
Dave
Try another computer and see if it works
If your doing this at work, a lot of companies stop the USB ports from working.
Tried another computer and doing the ruu in fastboot, its my home pc so all usb ports work, ok pretty sure its the phones software and not a hardware problem! Thanks for suggestions!
Yeah. It's a software issue, as you can use the HEROIMG.ZIP method (search here or modaco) from the microSD when you hold vol.down + power. You also get normal fastboot. So no hardware is broken
But... Nothing I've seen mentioned can fix it. Flashing seems to do nothing. I guess there is some NAND somewhere that needs a wipe/reflash (probably the same NAND that stuff like the IMEI is stored in, but that's just a guess at the architecture). If we could find the NAND, we could compare a dump between a broken and working phone and see...

it doesn't see it or says "no drivers found"
which os are you using
i can charge and usb mount even without drivers ...
It doesn't know what it is so doesn't install correctly. It's Windows 7 I don't have an issue with the druvers it worked fine before.
See http://android.modaco.com/content/h...om/300825/usb-device-not-recognized-solution/ on modaco. It's worth a shot, but bear in mind I think it will wipe /data. Might be hard to do a nandroid before though with no SD (as many people experience with this issue)
Well, I have the same problem with my hero and I have original rom, my hero isn't even rooted...
- I think I found a fix and it was quite easy to be honest. All I did was reinstall HTC SYNC and my computer is recognizing my phone now. Only thing is, i'm pretty sure if you want to use adb you had to uninstall this.
- Another solution is to update the RADIO on your phone to the newest version. (CREDIT GOES TO HAZAKINS FOR FINDING THIS)
I successfully rooted 2.2 today with the new guide. The first rom I flashed was RevE and noticed that when I plugged in my usb, to my computer, the notification bar would show up with the option of mounting or charging and then disappear after a second. Not only that, the phone didn't charge at all while connected and the notification bar was clear and didn't tell me whether I was charging only, ect even though it usually does.
The only way I am able to access my SD card is strictly through recovery now by mounting the usb. Other than that, there is no other way for me to access my SD card. Let me be clear that YES I have tried more than one USB port and usb cable but still there has been no luck. Let me also add that it was working fine before rooting.
Also, I just flashed to CM R2 successfully and the same issue still exists. I'm not really sure what else to do.
One interesting thing, if this means anything, that I found, was that I saw the My HTC drivers in device manager only when I accessed my SD card through recovery, it never appeared when I tried to connect my phone to my computer outside of recovery.
So, I'm not really sure what else to do. I have rebooted both my phone and my computer and I am really leaning towards the fact that it may have to do with the My HTC drivers. The thing is though, add or remove programs doesn't show My HTC when my phone is connected to the homescreen. But, I did manage to uninstall it while in recovery mode and as soon as I went back to the homescreen the driver installed so fast that I couldn't stop it from installing.
So, I have no idea what to do
I just confirmed that I am not the only one with this issue in IRC. We both narrowed it down to the driver being the issue. I'm not sure how exactly I can delete it though because it only shows up for an instant and then disappears. It isn't even in add or remove programs.
When you connect your phone, try toggling the USB Debugging off and then back on. I had similar problem (not exactly the same) and this is what worked for me.

I actually had this exact same problem... all the way up until I tried a different usb port... so I guess I got lucky.
But the one port was working fine up until I put the new ROM on it. Then it stopped working. Then I had to use a different port. I was able to do that... But now after phone reboot and PC reboot, 1st usb port works fine.
I hope it starts working for you.
I did same thing having same problem, I even downloaded another rom with rom manager and installed it, still same problem. When I plug in my USB cord it will pop up for a second on the phone to ask my charge or drive the goes away before i can do anything.

basically sums up my issue.
OK Here is the fix, buy a mini sdcard reader copy the pc36img file to your sdcard using this reader, install back in phone boot into recovery and let it update, then startover root process, this worked for me, I haven't update to 2.2 yet, but I got usb back

My fix was to get rid of the extension USB cable extender I was using. Apparently the signal degrades too much across it. I tried 3 different extender cables too.

I had the same issue. Using Unrevoked states to uninstall the HTC sync drivers. Just reinstall them and it should charge your phone. That worked for me...

I did that, twice, and the same issue is occurring.
Also having the same problem after the 2.2 down grade.
Same problem
I can't mount my SDcard either. I followed the new video tutorial to get root on phones that came with 2.2. I think something went wrong when i got that out of memory write error. I have tried two different computers and all their usb spots. I have not been able to mount sd card yet. It does charge however. Any ideas as what to do?? Oddly enough i was able to get Amon-ra recovery flashed so doesn't that mean i have full root??
Seems like a good amount of people are having this issue. If someone comes across a fix please share!!!
Try uninstalling My HTC and HTC Installer Drivers (I forgot the exact name) and then reinstalling HTC SYNC.
Got mine to work
on some other forum someone tried flashing the radios to the newest version and fixed the problem. I tried this as well and came back here to let you guys know that it worked for me also.
here is a link to the radio files.

Easy fix: Uninstall the HTC software, then reinstall it.
This should reinstall the driver for your EVO.
the HTC software uninstall and reinstall didnt work for me. Wish it would have.

Hi Guys,
Just wondering if anyone can help me here.
I have a Defy, its sim free and unbranded and have been told that I will need to flash it to put CM7 or other ROMs on.
So I downloaded v4.9 and have turned the handset off and hold up while rebooting.
I followed the instruction and put the USB cable in but for some reason it will not pick the phone up properly or let me try to flash it.
It has pinged up that it has installed the USB Flash drivers.
So wondering if you guys can help?

Was told this would be an easier way!!
Have managed to install the root and the backup but cant get the rest of it to work properly.
Tried about 3-4 times and just too complicated.
I had a similar problem using 4.9 on my desktop. Not sure what the deal was. Went and used my wife's notebook with no problem. I ended up going to 4.7 on my desktop and have had no problems since.
Uninstall/reinstall rsdlite and get latest driver. Or try diff usb cable .
Try also running rsd as admin

I read something about not using a computer to root; but I could not find anything on getting back to stock without a computer (the question was posed on a few different sites).
My only thought would be to have someone on stock rom, to root and do a backup with CWM; then copy that backup folder off their phone to someplace you could download it using your phone (like google documents).
then you could boot to recovery and flash EXT42RFS.zip from :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109362
then use cwm to restore from that backup and it would put stock ec05 on your phone; seemingly back to stock except for the recovery.
thats what i was thinking also couldnt find a downloadable back up to put on to my phone if any one is willing to help me with a flashable backup for clockwork mod im using version 3.0.0.6 i think
Similar issue.
I am looking into a solution. Let me get right back at you.

As far as I know there is no way to unroot without a computer. However you can make it look like stock for the return. When you installed CWM 3.0.0.6 on your phone and it converted to EXT4 it made a nand backup called beforeEXT4conversion or something like that. Restore that nand and do a factory data reset from inside settings>privacy on your phone.

Who knows, that may also fix your phone to connect again. Does it make the connection noise on the computer? If so, go into Control Panel, System, Device Manager and look for something connected to your USB or Other. It will probably say Samsung Android. Choose Update Drivers on that and it will take about 10 minutes to get the drivers and install and you should be able to work from the computer again.

I currently rooted using the latest version of the Sons of Android ROM. Last night I made a back-up of it and flashed the Synergy ROM to test it for a friend. When I restored my back-up, I could no longer connect to the computer. I tried to reinstall the drivers through Kies and also direct from Samsung. The phone charges when connect to the USB port, but does not connect. I have tried two computer so I think it is the phone.
I search the forums and didnt find anything that help.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I can not find any fast charge setting. I am starting to worry that I might have damaged the phone. I hope I just need to re-flash a driver or something.
Thank you!
make sure you're using the factory cable for the device.
try another USB port, preferably a port directly connected to the computers motherboard.
delete the current USB drivers for your phone on the computer. reboot it. in task manager, stop any kies background processes. reinstall drivers. reboot and see if that takes.

Did you make a nandroid of the previous rom ? Flash back to that . Flashing any rom made for the NA version of the Galaxy s3 will NOT brick your phone. NO physical damage will happen in any way.
Yes check the cord to make sure its not that....samsung phones are picky....even with the same cord.
Fast charge is usually in the kernel settings menu. It will be something you would had to enable, I've never seen it come enabled on a rom. What kernel are you on ? I don't think you see that setting on TW based rom's anyway ( I assume you are on SoA right now?)
Have you tried to do a complete wipe and flash another rom ?

I have a nandroid of my stock (after rooted) ROM, but it is on my computer now, not on the phone so I cant access it. I also had a nandroid of Sons of Android that was connecting just fine before I flashed Synergy ROM. I restored the Sons of Android ROM (nandroid) that was still on my external SD card and that didnt fix it.
I just did a complete wipe (Cache, Davlik Cache, System, Factory Reset, and Internal Memory), then installed the Wicked ROM with the stock kernel. It still doesnt work.
I tried two different cord on two different computers with no luck.
Thank you!

USB Debugging is currently enabled, but I have tried it both ways.
I also am noticing my data connection is really, really slow, much slower than normal. I looked under the Synergy ROM and there was some talk of needing to reflash modem and bluetooth when reverting to a stock kernel. Could this be the problem?
Thanks!
You could try mobile Odin and flash the rooted stock that way... Its a shot
You have to use a .tar file though

I used Mobile Odin to flash back completely to stock, and the usb still would not connect. I do not know what else to do. I will have to remove the SD Card and use a card reader for now. I can flash back to stock when if I want to take it in and get it fixed or replaced.
