I have flashed just about every ROM out there and there is NOTHING I can do to get the EVO to recognize that I have plugged in the HDMI cable. I never tried it before I started flashing ROMs because I didn't have an HDTV. So I really don't know if it ever worked.
So I am makin glots of assumptions
1)That the cable works
2)That the TV is compatible
3)That the HDMI wasn't broken from day one
But anyway, I know at different times I have had to re-activate the USB port and re-format my SD Card because somewhere along the line in flashing they became corrupt or unmounted or whatever.
Has anyone heard of any "fix" or command for HDMI port?
Try it on a stock rom...
your sig shows cm6 which doesnt support HDMI..yet.
ive also experienced this issue tried several roms , different kernels including stock and still cant get it to show up in the notification bar plus my cable is from sprint anyone got any ideas?
HDMI worked for me when I was stock everything. You have tried various roms, and stock kernel, but it's possible that the other roms don't support it. I know CM6 doesn't, because that's what I use.
I would suggest flashing a stock rom. They are available in these forums with some digging. Nothing custom. Then give it a try. If it still doesn't work, then you have an issue somewhere on the phone. If you are back to stock, just delete the update.zip file from your SD card. No one at Sprint will be able to know you were rooted, and probably wouldn't take the time to dig. You can then get some assistance from them in case it is an issue with your hardware.
Also, I would make sure that you have a good HDMI cable. I know micro HDMI made by Molex works, but I had read reports that some people got generic ones that didn't work.

Thanks for the advice il try that out asap and post an update asap
Its because your not using the right kernel try netacrhy-toastmod-4.1.8 bfs for 2.2 users and there is no reason you have to go back to stock almost every ROM can support HDMI as long as you are using the right kernel. As of right now CM6 does not support wimax, or HDMI

Ok, my phone was getting low on battery and started going haywire. I charged and reflashed the rom but now my phone wont sync with my comp after trying numerous things. It was the truly epic rebirth rom.
Any idea what might have happened? I tred different usb cables, rebooting drivers but nothing. The phone still charges but no syncing. Is there a internal driver in the phone that syncs the phone that might have been corrupted?
BTW I posted this to impalers747 Q/A thread but we seemed to be stumped to. Thanks for tryin yogi and impaler747 but I figure more people might see this if I make a thread and someone might of had a similar issue.
Odin back to DK28 and reflash the ROM. There might be another way, but that is what I would do.

When you put your phone in download mode, Odin doesn't see it? (Not trying to sound sarcastic, just making sure I get where you are at)

I haven't done this, but you should be able to use CW to flash your phone back to the stock ROM and then go from there. Here is a link for an older thread that discussed it and has links to the stock ROM. I am hoping you can get into CW, and if you can you should be able to flash from your sd card

You still should be able to. I think this would fix your problem. And you can always use CW to get back to a rooted DK28 instead of using one click root. Or, if you haven't already tried, you could wipe and try a different ROM. The sync could just be a DK28 issue and a different ROM might have what makes it work.

Hopefully you nandroid your device?
I had a problem with connecting my device to my laptop. My laptop would never see my phone but odin was still able to see it with some playing around. This happened to me on di18. In order for me to get back to dk28 I had to odin the extended tar so I had root and everything.
Before trying to odin I cleaned out the micro usb port on the phone with a q-tip tabed in rubing achole. I even switched to my girls blackberry charger. I no longer have issues even when using my samsung cable but I try to use either my evo or her blackberry cable. Before doing any of this I suggest uninstalling and re-installing the proper drivers.

Ill try and clean it out but even odin wont read it but the damn thing still charges. I even went to sprint to check it out on there comp but im guessing they didnt have the drivers installed as most of them didnt have too much knowledge on rooting and flashing.
i tried reinstalling drivers about 5 times lol
quick question 4 u guys before i take the plunge on stocking back the epic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864348
based on post 9 I would just
1: flash the dk18 modem?
2: then flash the stock rom?
3. remove cwm?
does that make sense?
I mean I would want to keep cwm till the end just incase something goes haywire and I can restore
all aborted? hmm it says that it can not install due to the ext4 script

What ext4 script? Stock di18 and stock dk28 don't have ext4. So if you are on plain jane dk28, then you aren't on ext4. And if you are going to di18, you aren't converting to ext4.
I had ext4 script otherwise i wouldnt been able to install those new roms before the update. Im not sure what to do from here now since I'm back to stock backup and rom manager doesnt work for ****
So I've tried connecting my phone to several computers and they all end up saying that the device is not recognized. Because of this, I can't even odin my phone to stock or anything else. So I can't exactly call sprint or samsung about it. It was working fine up until just now. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Did you download the Samsung driver ?
Simply AOSP 3.1.1

Yes, sounds like your data cable is going bad. Grab another one. Palm Pre or Blackberry has heavy duty cables. Heard there was a good one for $2 on Amazon. Get fresh drivers from Samsung's site or from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052813
Hope this helps.
Yea I've gotten the right drivers. Right now, I'm in the process of doing root and flashing roms without a computer... using rom manager. Maybe a new rom will fix it. I'm going to order a new data cable and hope that will work.

I've tried 4 different cables on multiple computers. Mine says USB not recognized as well. How do you root and flash roms with rom manager???
Hey man, same thing was happening to me, I ended up bricking my epic with the stock cord, but I grabbed my brothers evo cord, and worked first try, dump the stock cable definitely.

I used this method

Also, instead of using cwm 2.x, you can go the development forum and get the new cwm and flash that instead, just make the necessary adjustments (i.e. when flashing using ROM manager, tap 3.x instead of 2.x etc. etc.)
I am now running gingerbread on here. And I am going to try a new cable that I ordered later this week.
I was angry at my current rom which was on MTD so i decided just to you the old samsung "phone flash utility" (Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe) that was uploaded on their site like a year ago to go back to stock. well i think since the phone was MTD it didnt work and now its stock at the connect cable screen, is there anything i can do?
I am running CleanGB MTD. The first time I tried to install it I had a bad download & needed to redo it from scratch. I used the Samsung EB13 Windows Installer utility to restore my phone back to stock & had no problems at all. It was up & running on MTD just had a few errors that I did not have time to fix that morning & I ran it for a few days after restoring with the utility, rooting, & restoring my backup. But now I'm enjoying the MTD goodness.....
Can you get back into download mode?
If so I would get a different USB cable & try running the installer again.

from what ive been reading on the threads, i believe you can just odin back, and back sure you have reboot and re-partition checked marked.
I found out what the problem was. I should have known this because this happened to me once before. I was using my front USB ports. Front ports on most pc's are only 1.0 and you need to use the back 2.0 ones to work. Most people think its cable issues but its usually just USB port. This samsung utility is a complete gem! screw odin. thanks for the response!!!

thanks guys. Yeah ive been using that sammy file since ec05 came out. this is the 3rd brick maybe 4th it got me out of. it works for EVERYTHING. better than odin.
Wow, I didn't know this exe thing existed. Odin has NOT been working on my home PC for tje past few weeks(months?) and that has kept me from trying anything that would require Odin to recover from, i.e. mtd.
Glad I read here in the Q&A pretty regularly. Most of the time I'm seeing if there's anyone I can help, but times like this I end up learning new things.

I am at work so I cannot post the file I have, but I put the file name in & searched in Google & several download options popped up.
Google Search: Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13.exe
Check it out & let me know if you need me to post a copy of the file, I saw several already on services like multiupload in the search.
Look at the thread stickied in development. The Samsung tool won't work all the time.

So my friend gave me his phone to see if I could fix it. It loops in CWM and won't get out of it and I can't connect with odin to it. (My phone connects just fine.) This is the only other thing I can think of. Anyone else got other ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:08 PM ----------
Well tried it and phone still not discovered by the PC. I am at a loss at what to do. I know my friend tried to install some type of rom to it and didn't make a backup. It boots in to CWM non-stop and I can flash zips but it never leaves that loop even after the flashes. I can boot into Download mode but the phone won't be recognized. Tried both Odin and this. The phone is getting charged through the cable though which confuses me even more. Any help?!
Anyone have any ideas?! I am at a loss at what to do!

Use a different cable with odin... it may be charging it but its not getting a data connection... also put into download mode and plug in usb... then "jiggle" the cord until it recognizes it...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Then also try Odin with the battery and phone plugged in. Make sure you use a better cable than stock.
So, for whatever reason, my USB connecting ability stopped working on my T989 a couple weeks back and I've given up trying to get it working. I tried multiple Roms, multiple cables, confirmed it with a side by side connection attempt with another sgs2 in hand, nothing has worked.
As if that isn't annoying enough, I need to return it for warranty exchange but can't use Odin to flash the files I've been able to find in the stock threads.
My question: Does anyone know of a completely stock Rom/Kernel I can flash using Clorkwork Rom Manager? Is it even possible that way?

So, ive been having problems with my usb port on my phone, and I was planning to go back to stock and use my warranty, but i can't connect it to my computer. I've tried plenty of cables. Most of them aren't working at all, but one cable manages to be able to charge it. Nothing else. Is there anything I can do or am i SOL because I have an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and everything else.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried using compressed air and/or a toothbrush to clean out the port?
It could just have debris/lint in it that is interfering.
Worth a shot if you haven't tried already.
