USB detection when connected to computer not working!(*POSSIBLY FIXED*) - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

- 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

Did you try this? Simple fix.

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 tried that, it was a no go.

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.
link::::forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485

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.

[Q] G2 not being seen by PC

Hey guys,
I tried getting some help for this over at the Nook Color threads because it all started *after* i rooted my NC, but no one's been able to explain to me what Ive done wrong or whats happened...
So here's the sitch.
o I have ADB installed, but it only activates in device manager when the nook is plugged in, not the G2
o When the NC get usb'd to the PC, it fully registers and gives me access to the SD card on it
o .... where as the G2 just sits there and says "yay im getting power!"
o ,,,, BUT if i plug it into a HUB rather than directly into a usb port on the mobo or front, the PC (win7 x64 ult) seems to see it but doesnt know how to properly assign a driver to it and gives it UNKNOWN
o also i checked the usb-adb ini file, and it lists all my other devices in the hardware cues BUT the G2, which means it hasnt properly registered since then or never had a proper profile to begin with in the PC. It even has my older mt3G listed which I havent plugged in since all this started.
Ive tried multiple driver types, but literately, NOTHING has worked. Its like the G2 isnt even properly registering in the computer when connected. I tried a factory reset, but still no luck. Is there anything beyond a soft fact reset for an unrooted phone? I mean, i need COLD AS STONE back to day 1 reset.
Please help, I really want to root this :'<
and no, the only way now to access my sd card is to turn the thing off and use a reader. Like i said, it literately is NOT seeing it :<
Wrong section. Ask in the Q&A, not the DEV section.
Try installing HTC Sync, even though it doesnt work with the G2 because its sense based, it will install the proper drivers for you. This worked for me.
Heres the link:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=804
Another method would be install pdanet on you phone fron the Market, then install pdanet for your computer from here and it should install the drivers when you plug your phone in with pdanet app running:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
I tried the Sense link, but I couldnt find the download option for it.... anyways, heres a more precise description of the issue
When I go and install PDA Net, it loads up the drivers, but the computer literately is not even registering that a DEVICE has been plugged in via USB. I dont even get the USB connect prompt on the phone!
That's what Im saying, something is up. I need to take the cable with me and try this on another computer now that I think about it to rule out that something isnt damaged on the phone...
What ROM are you using? Gingerbread ROM's act like the (for now), at least from what I understand. I tried CM7 and sure enough - it acted just like what you're describing.

But thats the whole thing, im not using a ROM, its just the stock OS build. if i was using a ROM, id have tried removing it and reloading it, but this is on a phone that isnt even rooted yet... actually... should I try going temp root again and see if that fixes anything?
Whats the best way to do that now since I keep reading Vision got pulled away because it was damaging phones or something?
Okay, so i tried plugging it into a diff computer.... same result... so whatever it is, its the phone.
Any ideas XDA pplz?
Has it seen the g2 before? if so, get usbdeview, find the drivers in there that would be used for the g2, delete those. Snag PDANet and download that, plug the phone back in and see what ya get. You will get the pop ups again about the new software being loaded since it will have to find and reload drivers for the phone and PDANet will have the drivers you need.

Like the guy above me said, DL or re-DL the drivers (though none should be needed if you're using it as a storage drive, the comp sees it as a usb drive). Is it charging your phone when you plug it in? It's rare, but the USB cable may be bad.
The only other thing I can think of is that something went wrong and the phone isn't releasing the mount to the sdcard, in which case you should try rooting and using a different ROM or a stock rom and it should help.
Well thats the whole thing, the computer doesnt even see the USB part of it. Thats been my whole issue. The computer doesnt see the phone or the usb drive part. It straight does not see the phone at *all*! Doesnt even show up in Dev Manager, but yet it gets power. I even went and got a new micro USB cable, fresh, and still nothing.
im getting to 86 the os and reload Win7, im like super uber pissed over all this because i cant figure it out. I dont even know whats wrong >_<!
Just for kicks (because I had this exact thing happen to another phone of mine - the slide) you're rooted, which means you have clockwork right?
Reboot into recovery and go to the 'mounts' part and select 'mount usb'. Do that with it plugged into your computer and let me know if the phone shows up then. That's the only way I could put it in mass storage mode. I flashed something other than cyanogen's rom and BAM, it worked like it was supposed to (Linux did mount cyanogen though - weird).
If you want to go back to 0 day with your G2, search 'PC10img' and download it. DO NOT FLASH IT YET, you could really screw up your phone since you have s-off. Go to the wiki and scroll to the bottom, it tells you how to get s-on. Once you can verify that you have s-on, proceed to flashing the pc10img.
Wiki
Okay, so, Im way better now. Apparently I managed to get s-off and root ability via
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837315
when i reloaded and got rooting ability, somehow, I now have a detectable sd card again.
I dont know how, I dont know why, I just know that Im going to throw CM6.1.1 onto this thing and be rocking it hard
Thanks again for all your help guys, it was awesome to know XDA really helps out its followers
EDIT:
Okay... so now Im mixed. I have a rooted phone, with CM6.1.1, but still doesnt properly recognize when plugged into the PC.
oh well, I already called TMobile and their sending me a new phone under warranty. Its gotta just be a busted port in some way for detection. I dunno. >_<
But still, thanks a lot guys. Means a lot

My phone isnt recognized by my computer anymore

Hello,
i've got a problem like the title says. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer via usb, i get the message the device wasnt recognized by the computer. i tried everything i know, another usbport. etc. i want to install a new radio, but without connecting to the computer it isnt possible, because i dont have the usb debugging active.
i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.
Are you using Windoze?
If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.
thanks for the quick answer.
i tried it, but it didnt help. where is this application data folder? do you mean on the computer? i found after uninstalling no more folders from htc.
and yes i use windows home premium 64bit.
got another idea? now it says also the device does not function properly. i hope that nothing on the device is broken.

yes he is talking about your computer... if in the "program files" you hasn´t anythink about HTC SYNC,, ALL IS OK...
but enssure that in the configuration panel-system-dispositive administrator you hasn´t any drive installed for your android device... if you have installed it, erase or uninstall it before re-install htc sync or the htc drivers....then you can re-install and reboot windoux...
and hey buddy!I recommend to you to consider to pass to linux, you will not have this type of mistakes... LOL
UBUNTU is great!
I'm afraid I don't know much about Windoze but memory serving appication data is a hidden folder so you will need to change it to view them and is in the Documents and Settings / [Your username] directory.
Device not function is just a default Windoze error when it can't install something, ignore it, your phone is fine.
If you have reinstalled HTC Sync, try a USB port on the opposite side of the PC. So if you trying ones next to each other on the front, try ones on the back (they use different headers on the motherboard).
If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I probably won't be of much more use, sorry.

anyone got an idea how to install radio without having usb debugging and the drivers from the computer?
Hi!
I've got the same problem with 2 different PCs, one with Win7 64-bit, the other with Win XP PRO.
Other devices work fine with the same USB ports, so i doubt it's windows or the PC...

you can´t flash any radio if your phone is not recognized
well.. Let's continue with the problem in question...
1.At some time could you have connected it?with the stock rom maybe?
2.have you tried to swich on mass storage usb mode?what´s the result?
3.when you tries to swich the phone for flash some radio you enables "usb debug"
and "only chargue"?
its a weird problem
Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.
1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

you´re welcome companion
i reded in a spanish forum ( www.htcmania.es ) about your problem and there´s people that had the same problem with a S.GALAXY S & desire HD...
someone was solved it fullwiping and formating (in the paragraph of mounts & storage into CWM) and flashing another ROM... then they formatted their sd card with a card reader OF THE PC... later they was formatted the sd card from the pc and the problem was disapeared successfully...
BUT if it persists i think that you should (mi suggestion) send your machine to the thecnical service....
ok, will try this today evening when i'm home. if this doesnt work i will reset it in the orginial state and send it to the technical support. i will leave a comment if i was successful, perhaps this will help others with the same problem.

Before Odin can detect it you must first make sure your computer can detect your phone. That way you'll know if the drivers work fine. If it does then get a new USB cable to connect it while using odin. I got a rocketfish usb cable and it works better than the samsung one...or any usb cable such as a blackberry's works fine.

When trying to root make sure you aren't using a stock samsung usb cable. Some have been successful using them while rooting but for most it sucks. Are you enabling usb debugging?
I am having the same problem. Gingerbreak failed to run with the same error, and no amount of different cable or port (tried three of each) will avoid the phone not connected message when attempting one click root. I'd love to hear ideas to resolve either of these or other rooting options.
Update - tried the Bonsai unlocker mentioned in this thread, and tried the one click method on a second machine to which I had never connected my device. In all cases, got a phone connection failure. And yes, I have enabled USB debugging, and when I disable it, I am able to mount the phone just fine and see the external memory card, so there's nothing wrong with the USB port or cable. I have a relatively new replacement phone that came preloaded with Froyo. Maybe something has been done to newer devices to disable this ability? Can't imagine what else could be wrong.
thanks,

My bad - apparently I didn't have the right drivers installed. I assumed since I could connect in USB mode without debugging I had the right drivers, but apparently not. Sorry to bother. In case anyone else runs into this, I apparently can't post a URL to help you, so go look for a post on the Epic "All Things Root" forum on Android Forums,
It appears I am successfully rooted after having to reboot the phone once after a failure the first time I ran. Woohoo! Now I can do a true full backup.
-- robert
The only way I could get mine to work (I would get the same errors using gingerbreak) I restored the phone to factory settings using the samsung recovery mode. Press power volume down and camera button. Your volume buttons are used to highlight the text and the home key is used to select. Wipe cache 3 times, and wipe the dalvick (spelled wrong) 3 times, then reset phone back to factory settings through here. Remember you will lose everything so back up your apps using AppBrain. I ran GingerBreak again and it worked perfectly. I would also get the same errors when trying to odin. Its been that way everysince I updated to 2.2. By the way I am EC05, did that before I updated because I was running midNight Rom.

USB cable charges the phone, but doesn't connect to PC

Hi.
I've been using my HOX for about 2 weeks and it's currently running ViperX 1.0.1 with the latest Faux 004 Beta 7 kernel. The problem I have is that, when I connect my HOX to the computer via an Micro-USB cable (either the one that came with the phone, or another Micro-USB cable) the phone just starts to charge and it doesn't prompt what type of connection I want to use (Only charge, file transfer etc).
The setting that it should ask for a connection type is turned on, standard connection is set to "Only charge" at the moment (but I have tried every other option also), and USB debugging is turned on as well.
The computer doesn't recognize storage device either, and HTC sync can't find the phone. I've tried to restart both the phone and computer, re-install HTC sync, clear Cache and Dalvik, uninstalling the backup app I'm usually using and also SystemTuner by 3C, but without any better results.
This is the first time I experience this problem. It started to behave like this yesterday. Everyday before that, it all worked as intended :/ The only thing I remember that I've done is to update Faux kernel to Beta 7 (from Beta 6) and installing SystemTuner which I didn't have installed before.
I have tried three Micro-USB cables, several USB ports on my computer and also other computers. So it's something with the phone I suppose.
I read somewhere about another person having this problem and someone told him it could be because "fast charge" is enabled in the kernel. But from what I've understood, the Faux kernel I'm using doesn't support fast charge option.
I'll be very glad for every help possible to resolve this issue, thanks!
Settings - connect to pc
Have you checked that "ask me" is on? Otherwise it uses the default mode which is usually "only charge"...
Edit: oww you tried that already... I don't know then... Maybe you should test it with the older kernel

Thanks for the reply. Ye, I've had that one enabled all the time. I guess I should try using the older kernel and see if it works, then I know what caused it at least
I will do that and come back here and tell you all how it goes! Since I can't transfer the file over from the computer to phone, I have to download the file directly from the phone, so it takes a little longer.
Okay, so I have now installed the "old" kernel that I used before and that I know worked (Faux 004 beta 6) but it still doesn't work, so I guess it's not anything associated with the kernel.
Any more ideas what I should try? I guess I could try restoring a previous backup from when I knew it worked, but I will probably only do that if there's not any other way to fix it - as a last resort.
Your phones usb connector could be broken or just dirty...
I tried to search even more about other people having this problem but couldn't find any real solution to it. So I did a Nandroid restore to a date when I knew it worked, and now it all works fine again!
Not sure what I did to make it not work, but if it happen again, I will try to remember what caused it

Works after a nandroid restore. But ye, I guess that could be a reason some other time in case it suddenly stops working.
Thanks both of you for trying to help at least! I will edit the main post if this ever happen to me anymore time and I know what's causing it/how to fix it!

[Q] Options For Connecting To PC Are Missing

Device and Software: HTC Inspire 4g, JellyTime r29(previously Android Revolution HD 6.3.1)
Problem:
Cannot choose how to connect to PC(no usb options appear on the phone), the phone starts charging as soon as I plug it in.
Possible Cause:
I connected my phone to a USB port on a car stereo and my phone and the stereo kept flipping back and forth between screens. I disconnected the phone immediately, but the USB connected icon was still in my notification bar. I restarted the phone and everything seemed fine until I tried to plug my phone in 3 days ago.
Things I've Tried Already:
-Restarting the phone
-Pulling the battery
-Trying different USB Ports
-Trying different cables
-Trying different PCs
-Trying USB Debugging both on and off
-Trying fastboot on and off
-Trying an "auto-mount" app(Multi-Mount SD)
-Trying "USB Mass Storage" App for Jelly Bean
-Setting Disk Drive mode as default and turning the "Ask Me" option on and off
-Reflashing the ROM (followed these directions for flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731)
-Flashing the USB fix found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24198708&postcount=90
-Flashing a new ROM
-Searching for a solution(derp).
Try a different ROM?

I was thinking about it, but this one has been working fine for months so It seems unlikely to me that that's the cause, especially when i haven't come across anyone running the same ROM with the same problem.
I'll still think about it, I dunno what ROM I'd switch to though. I liked CyanogenMod 7 but that one wouldn't run videos correctly for some reason :\

Not really sure how that's relevant, but ok.

I have had ROMs get glitchy over time; no idea why, but I have seen it happen. And I think that second line is just his signature.

Its my xda signature. You can edit it in the xda ap settings

Ah, most forums have a bar separating the signature from the post so I was confused lol.
Just flashed JellyTime, I still have the same problem :\.
It charges fine right?

Yup. I just tried using USB Mass Storage app for JB, and that doesn't work either, although apparently the app does know that the USB is plugged in.
Most likely a port problem on your device. Go to a repair shop and see how much they charge

Well that sucks. I did get it to come up once by flashing a rooted stock rom, but when I selected disk drive nothing showed up on my PC, and when I disconnected it and reconnected it the icon wouldn't show up anymore XP
.:Edit:.
I just realized I put this in the wrong forum .

Try going to a fully stock state (S-ON, stock no root) and see if it helps. If not, definitely a port problem.

How do you do that without being able to connect to the PC?
Flash an RUU. I'll ask someone from the Ace Think Tank to help you, they're the best
If I find a link to an RUU ill post it. Where you from in the world?

I found this one(the bottom one), but it says I have to be connected to a PC to get it to work. Also, I'm from America.
First flash a different rom see if the same issue happens in that rom. You can also boot into recovery and try mounting the sd card before flashing a ruu. You may also want to reinstall the drivers for your phone (the drivers on your pc).

I've reinstalled the drivers that come with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit multiple times. Do you think I should I uninstall them and use the stock drivers?

Yeah, sorry about that. I skimmed through the post. After submitting the reply I saw that you already tried a different rom. You could give that a shot, installing htc sync. Have you tried the sd card on a different phone, or connected directly to the computer or a different sd card on your phone? Besides this I'm out of ideas.

Yup, the SD card works on my old Samsung Rant. I'll try installing the stock drivers, thanks for trying to help.
Ahh Tei has joined the party
I'm still sticking with a port replacement, it's the last thing that's left (as far as I can think of)
