I have searched all over and I am not having any luck, so I am hoping that someone here can help.
At the beginning of Oct. I rooted my incredible using unrEVOked and the Stock HTC Rom. Everything was working fine at the beginning until a few days ago when I went to go plug my phone into the USB port on my car stereo, this is where it gets weird. First the stereo was not able to recognize the device, which it was able to before, and it doesn't even attempt to look for anything, almost like I didn't plug in anything at all and the Battery light keeps flashing on and off. Thinking it might be an issue with the stereo, I try it with my wife's DX with the same USB cable and it works fine. So it is not a problem with the stereo or cable. If I leave everything plugged in to the stereo and reboot there is a few seconds that the stereo is reading the phone, but as the phone gets closer to finishing the reboot the stereo stops recognizing the phone.
In my attempt to figure it out, I first did 5 different restore backups neither one worked. I unrooted and did a factory data reset and that doesn't work. In my frustration I rerooted using unrEVOked again and this time I flashed virtious ROM and Kernel, this didn't fix the problem. So I tried a different ROM and Kernel this time using Redemptive rEVOlution 1.8 along with the Hydra Kernel and again no luck.
The strange thing is when I plug my phone into the PC, both internal and sd card drives are seen and I can access the files just fine. It is only when I go to plug it in to the USB port in the car is when it is not finding anything. My car stereo is not picky when it comes to internal or external phone storage and I have put music on both drives and it does not read either one. It is almost like a file or program got erased and nothing I have done is able to fix it.
Anybody have any ideas that might help?
Have you tried copying all the files on your sd to your pc then formating the sd card fat32 from windows and then copying all your files back to the sd. This same thing happened to me once drove me nuts couldn't figure it out then I had to format my card for something else I was doing and after that it started working fine again.
Also this may sound obvious but you do have the default pc connection type set to disk drive right?
Speculating here, but ~
Is USB debugging checked?
Maybe toggle that - Unknown Sources toggle as well.
Settings>Applications>Unknown Sources
Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging
Maybe toggle mock locations as well - found in location w/ USB Debugging.
I have the same problem with my Vibrant. I have an Alpine IXA-W404. When I plug in my phone via usb, it shows "searching" then "not supported" but on my head units screen it starts to show some random music files on my phone, but won't play them. I tried plugging in using two different wires, and tried with debugging on and off.
Any help? I even saw a video where the guy was doing it online with a similar setup, using a Droid and some other similar Alpine deck.
Thanks!
-edit-
when i select "media player" from the usb settings on the phone, after about 20 seconds, the head unit starts to play a few songs but its very choppy. Any help is appreciated!

This fixed my problem before when I had issues like the OP is having.
Longshot here, but this happened to me w/ my vehicle when I put a ton of mp3's on a thumb drive, and not a specific folder on the USB....
Is the vehicle trying to index the contents of SD card or other device drive and cannot?
Is the music or other content on the device in a specific folder, or spread out amongst directories/folders?
Have you tried copying say the mp3's (whatever content) onto a flash drive, and whether the car 'sees' them?
Speculation: the vehicle is trying to catalog/index the files/content ~
As such, there are either too many for the vehicle to index, and/or desired content to be read by vehicle need to be consolidated into folder(s) the vehicle can see, read, and index.
Imagine the brain in the vehicle can only index so much content.
still was not able to get it going with all of the above, i downloaded "auto mount sd card" from the market after hearing that it helps but still to no avail.
any more suggestions? this is something i'd really like to use my phone for!
Maybe let us know the device that you're connecting it to.
Oh yeah, also some after-market USB cords will only charge and not send any data- so make sure that isn't your problem either.
Could this have something to do with the usb apk? I've used a lot of different roms and some would work and some would not. I'm currently using a Sense 3.0 , Nils Business 3.0 and it doesn't mount to my car stereo.
I just restored an old backup of a rom Warm-Z and the mount worked, no problem. I then went back to my current sense 3.0 and it doesn't.

Good day fine sirs and ma'ams.
I would just like to say I love my Tilt 2, and have had it for a few months now with no real problems and this is about my 4th WM phone.
As of about a month ago, I have been unable to connect or sync the device to my PC.
I have WM Device center 6.1 (the latest from the website)
I am running windows 7
I had been able to sync the phone until about a month ago.
I have unchecked the box in the USB to PC for faster data synchronization.
Essentially, when I plug the phone into the computer, it just acts as if it is connected to a charger. Nothing comes up on the phone and nothing comes up on the computer. It just charges. I have even installed and uninstalled WMDC a couple of times.
I really am at my wits end here.
My question is, is there a fix for this apart from sending the phone in? I am able to flash the phone via the microsd card, and even tried going back to the e2 rom that is as close to the ATT rom as I could find.
I did find the stock rom, but it does not come with the image file, just the ruu.exe I believe. I cannot flash roms via the USB cable either, so I am only able to change things like I said, via the microsd card.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
And yes, I have searched, and have found many other people posting in other threads saying they have the same problem, and everyone just says to uncheck that one box, which I have done, so that is NOT the problem.
Also, I would just like to add that when I go into the windows directory and attempt to run activesync (repllog.exe) I get the following message.
(cannot communicate with the pc because of the fllowing remote networking error (Error 608)
I have seen others ask help for this question without an answer on xda-dev also.
Thanks again! If anyone has the solution here I think a lot of people will be very happy!
:-(
turn off your firewall then pug ur device in and see if that works... works for me... perhaps your firewall started blocking it for some reason... other than that good luck
I had similar things happen to me in the past. While the phone is connected, check Windows Update whether there is a new version of Sync Center. This has fixed the problem for me.
i appreciate the suggestions.
However,
I have the firewall disabled and it still does not connect.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the WMDC using the latest software directly from the website. There appears to be no updates for the program once it is installed.
Any other suggestions?
Have you tried multiple USB cables, multiple USB ports, or even multiple computers? I've had USB cables which aren't capable of data transfer, as well as USB ports on the computer go bad. You might also considering a hard reset, to ensure no software on the phone could be causing the problem. If it's truly the USB port on the device that's broken, then you're in bad shape if you want to return it to AT&T for repair. You may be able to flash the AT&T stock ROM, but you won't be able to restore the AT&T stock SPL, which they check when fixing the device, so you may very well have to fork over some money to get it fixed. Best of luck
My phone is doing this also.
Multiple PC's, multiple USB ports, multiple cables. All of which worked perfectly beforehand...
The other thing to try is Internet Sharing - when I go in there and press 'connect', then it says Check USB cable connection, connect USB to any of my PC's/laptops and it doesn't register on the phone.
This phone is really a piece of ****. I could rant on for hours about the stupid problems there are with this handset, I'm sure I'm not alone. Perhaps I expected too much.
Anyway, if anyone has any info on how to make my USB connection work I'd love them forever...!

Could be a faulty device...my phone connects to every computer, every time. take the phone to your provider and show them whats happening.
Also, i've had issues with the standard mini USB ( http://www.meditronik.com.pl/doc/mini/usb-kabel-mini=foto=canon.jpg ) not properly connecting/loosing connection.
Try a HTC usb it might work better: http://bestcellbuy.com/bargainsea/Pictures/HTC/OEM_Home_Charger_USB_Cable/OEM_HTC_Data_Cable_07.jpg
I've tried the HTC USB lead that shipped with my phone to no avail.
I think the device is faulty (surprise surprise). It charges from USB perfectly fine, every time.
I'll post back once I find out what Telstra say... it's obviously still under warranty but that isn't really the issue - It is just such a major PITA having to switch to a loan phone and deleting confidential business data etc from my phone before sending away for repair etc etc...
Thanks for the help though, it is appreciated.
Well, I've got my USB going again. Not sure exactly what I've done, but basically I pulled the battery out for a few minutes and replaced it, turned on and off the 'high speed' checkbox in USB Connection Settings, and it has come good.
****box phone.
Somehow mine started working again last night too. Same cable, same port and everything.
Really odd, but I'm not complaining at the moment!
It seems this problem is spreading, as i'm being terrorized by this stupid bug... This afternoon I've tried to get internet on my laptop (by connecting my phone to it), but it was just charging my phone, so I thought the cable was broken. Next I tried it at home on my desktop computer, with another cable, and it did the same (several reboots have passed).
I don't know if someone already tried it, but when you enter the bootloader, it says "Serial". Normally when you connect the USB-cable it changes to "USB" (at least with my kaiser, universal and wizard). on my phone it didn't...... can anyone check this for me??
to enter bootloader: hold volume-down-button and pres soft-reset-button.
thanks in advance!

thanks for your help.
I've flashed my device with the newest official from HTC, and it still doesn't connect with the usb-data (i used the "flash-from-SD" -method).
The strange thing was that it happened suddenly... i never use a headset with cable, so its almost impossible the connector is broken. Any ideas people??
btw, the device isn't SPL flashed, so i can't use other roms beside the official roms...
Same thing happened to me. No USB sync, no USB connection at all; it only charges. Thankfully I had a chance to flash to a custom ROM before this happened.
The only way I can sync my data is to use a bluetooth USB in my PC. Works quite well with my contacts, calendar, & email, but I have yet to try to transfer any large files.
The bluetooth USB I went with was ASUS USB-BT21 USB 2.0 Mini Bluetooth Dongle. It is VERY low profile, too, but I would have liked for it to come with an end cap like those USB flash drives, otherwise I have yet to find any complaints about it. The price was great and so much cheaper than spending an additional $70-$100 to get my USB port on my device fixed.
Here's my saga: No Syncing, No USB Connection
Best of luck!

this happened to me before...when you connect your devivce to your laptop/comp, are you guys not getting the little pop up that says activesync & disc drive...??? if so jus make sure at least one of those are checked...sometimes both of the circles will be blank, thus the comp will simply charge it...
unplug the device for approx 10 sec then plug it in again, and the box should pop up again...
also...if you are tethered to your comp using the tp2's internet, your comp will not recognize your tp2's storage...

I did not know one could flash to new ROM by use of the SD card?
Mine is de-HSPL, so now I can not select another ROM anymore. (Got the 6.1 default one again)

I've never used the SD-Card method myself, but now will have to due to my USB port no longer working.
I've been syncing by using Bluetooth USB and just tried transferring files via Bluetooth and it worked like a charm! Smaller files were instantaneous and large files took longer (of course), but also worked fine.
I just tried copying over a RHODIMG.nbh file and that bugger worked (188MB)... Excellent!!!
I did buy a USB card reader to transfer files, just to be on the safe side, but I must say that this little Bluetooth USB that I picked up is working awesome.

i exactly have the same problem.I guess i need to send it back
I have an ATT Tilt 2, and I've gone through roms like candy, and I still use the original USB cord that it had came with phone.
So I just bought a new computer a week ago, and ever since I can't seem to sync my phone up to my computer via usb cord (Bluetooth works fine). Now normally there's the steps to find the drivers, make sure active sync is enabled, make sure that small checkbox is checked or not. Data connection is enabled/disabled. Prompt when its connected to the comp, etcetc.
The problem is, the phone doesn't recognize that it's plugged into the computer, and just treats it as a power source. I've done some reading, and found there's a program that lets you trick it into thinking USB ports are power sources (fast charge or whatever) but I haven't downloaded nor install it.
Currently I'm running an EnergyRom rom, and I can't update it or change it.
I used to upgrade the rom every time NRG came out with an update, so I'm baffled to why all of a sudden it won't work.
Edit: I've tried connecting it to several computers, does the same thing. It won't realize it's connected to a computer.
Usually, if I pop out the battery, hit the power button a few times, then start it back, up... it will go back to working. The only times I ever seem to have this problem you are describing though is when I switch from active sync to "usb" (where it only looks at the storage card) and then when I switch back to active sync next time I plug it into a PC, it will not connect.
you should try to reinstall the activesync if you use xp.. hope itd help..
regards..

Look at your notificaitons queue and make sure the replog.exe notifications are present
recently got the LCI E60 5 series 2009 with usb interface. given the model, fairly confident it is running latest software although if someone can suggest how best i can check, feel free.
I can pair my rooted desire with the car's bluetooth and make/receive calls without issues. I answer and hang up using the steering wheel buttons.
however I see issue with transferring contacts - says "transfer in progress" but it isnt doing anything really (waited more than an hour).
Have read threads that suggested the bluetooth doesnt work well if connected via usb - so tried that to no avail.
the other issue is connection via usb on its own. the device is not recognised by i-drive, whereas a random usb stick with mp3 is.
starting to suspect rooted device might be the problem however cant verify as i dont have a stock desire.
any advice here?
have you tried enabling USB debugging?....
I realised I wasn't being very clear....go to Settings > Applications > Development & check USB debbuging. After that, try syncing with the i-drive via USB port.
Anyone know how to make songs play through USB on a car stereo? I had no problem doing this with my Galaxy S II, but I don't think the GSIII supports USB Mass Storage which would be the issue? Any suggestions?
It works; I connected my SGIII via USB to my Headunit; switched to AUX, and the files loaded up. I can only change and see the music selection through the headunit, however; where are your files located? Make sure that they are running from the Microsd Card, and NOT from the "MUSIC" folder in the Internal Memory. Hope that his helps!
Riggy:laugh:
It can work but you have to Root and install SGS3
easy UMS and switch to Mass Storage mode before you connect.

Can you elaborate on this a little? I don't quite follow. I did read a method by installing an app from the play store but as the other guy said it requires root to enable usb mass storage. Was kind of hoping I didn't have to go that route.
I tried plugging in via USB on my new Hyundai ix35, but all I got was "Reading Error". I haven't tried the easy UMS on the car yet, but I'm not really hopeful, since it doesn't work with my windows computer.

I have a 2012 Hyundai Genesis R-Spec; and what I did was connect the USB to the phone. On the phone, make sure that your music is on the MicroSDCARD (I labeled mine MUSIC) Hit the "AUX" button; the head unit will start to read your phone. It will load up all of the songs on the Microsd Card; all of the song titles and Individual Folders Show up just fine. I DID NOT HAVE TO ROOT to make this happen; the trick is to not save the music on the Internal Memory (labeled SD CARD), but to the MICROSD CARD (labeled Ext SD CARD) No Problems.....If I can answer any additional questions, let me know.
Cheers.

I'm happy to test this on an Alpine head unit before I move over to CM9, then test again on CM9. Work finishes in about 2 hours so it won't be until then though.
Dallas did it work for you? Thanks
Greatly helpful thread! Thanks! I do have an additional question though... I tried to hook up my GSIII to my Genesis using the USB cable to listen to online radio while driving... but that didn't work... Using an audio cable is OK but somehow the quality is not there (I tried increasing the volume of my GS III all the way and I still had to increase the volume on my stereo quite a bit before I could get decent sound). I came from an iPhone where I could connect using the proprietary USB and charge and listen to online radio at the same time... So I am hoping I can find the same thing for my GS III. Any help will be highly appreciated...
Summary: Is there a way to get audio out of the USB cable to my car while also charging my Galaxy S III?

I'm continuing to search for a way to listen to music via USB with my GS3 in my 2014 accord. I'm rooted running a 4.3 based touchwiz rom.
Has anyone found a solution?
Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader of my Google Pixel 2XL running android Pie using a mac.
Once, the process was completed and i set up my phone again, i lost usb mass storage.
I searched over internet and tried everything.
From enabling and disabling USB debugging to clearing internal storage and others is App info.
I hard reset my phone again but to no use. I don't see a usb debugging prompt.
I tried multiple cables. Infact it stopped working on the cable and the port i used usb mass storage on before.
Android auto had also stopped working. The phone only charges and does nothing else.
I am able to change the default usb to usb storage, but under USB preferences, only charging is selected and all options are greyed out.
Can someone please help me?

Does fastboot mode still work? If so, I doubt it is a hardware issue, and you can simply reflash a full factory image.
What was your remaining battery percentage? This is happening to me now but my battery is at 15% so I'm going to charge it up a bit and try again.
FYI battery saver is NOT currently enabled on my device, but that feature can definitely disable a lot of functionality so it's always good to ensure that it's off when troubleshooting. Another detail is that I still have a locked bootloader yet I'm also experiencing this issue (of grayed out USB options) so it may be coincidental and unrelated to you rooting/unlocking.
Did you find a solution? This thread is quiet so far but appears unresolved...
---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------
I charged to 20% and it worked but that may not have been it either. I noticed that wiggling my usb-c connector (adapted from micro usb-'a' to usb-c) may have been the culprit. It seems that my adapter has a shaky connection

This is a common issue w/ the Pixel devices on Pie, and is a cable issue, usually from using USB-C to USB-C cable, whereas an -A to -C cable is fine. Reference:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel...me_change_usb/
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel...2_xl_charging/
However, I ran in to this using the Pixel Experience Pie ROM on my Nexus 5X, and found it was due to one of my little microUSB to -C adapters (with a -A cable). One adapter works, the other doesn't, (cable didn't matter) even though it was no problem on the stock ROM; same brand (TechMatte) from the same 2-pack, in fact.
I have this same problem. My wife has the same phone with same OS but doesn't experience this problem. The only difference between our 2 phones is mine was a part of the beta program
I stopped being able to use USB either for file transfer or for adb. Google told me to install drivers which really doesn't work when the PC doesn't see your phone...
I tried a different computer
and it did see the phone and said that it installed drivers.
When I put it back on my PC it was working again.
Failed again, USB options all grayed out, and I used different (new) USB-C and that worked.

Try cleaning the charging port with compressed air, and Qtips with a little isopropyl alcohol. It could also just be bad from time or hardware failure.
Same issue of me today, but cable is good because other pixel 2 xl works great with it... it is a usb port issue on pixel, charging works, usb connections not.
I am having the same issue on my Oneplus 7 Pro running Android Q. With me it started happening after updating to Android Q. Plugging in a USB drive o the phone is not working neither, it works if I boot into recovery. Seems like lots of people are having similar issues:

i tried it, and it only works for a couple mins. Trying it again dosen't do anything anymore.
Yep me too it seems, no file transfer to lappy or ADB, charging and usb stick work fine, cleaned and googled to find this seems a problem for many pxl2 users in the last few weeks.
For a flashaholic like myself it's a big issue!
any update? I just bought Pixel 2 XL
I've tried everything,
best attempt is cleaning the port usb c, connect using usb c to c on MacOS the "usb for" enabled just for few seconds, and then back disabled again
here the list what I did :
1. update adb
2. usb A 2.0 to C, usb A 3.0 to C, usb C to C - doesnt work, only charge
3. even OTG, can't read flash drive
4. restart phone after change usb debugging also doesnt work
5. using fastboot, someone said to make sure the firmware is buggy, doesnt work at all !!
6. after cleaning usb port, still doesnt work...
So I sadly don't have any fix on this, it still doesn't work for me after Jan update. I tried posting to this site:

about this matter with no success. I guess I will have to open a support ticket with Google. Has anyone else here done that? The reason I haven't is based on that Google thread it doesn't look like it went anywhere when people did open a ticket.
So I just tried moving up to the March build on my Pixel 2 xl and was successful. So it looks like Google sent out some kind of update that corrected the issue.
