[Q] phone does not connect to PC via USB

[SOLVED] : using dropbox now for file transfer...
After I installed the latest build of stock XDAndriod on my Rhodium, it does not connect to my PC (win-XP) using USB port. I have tried multiple times to reset my phone and re-flash my winmo with no help.
My computer does not detect a USB device at all when I connect my phone when in Android. When I plug in my phone, nothing happens. But my phone does begin charging from the USB port and does detect that is plugged in to a power source.
How do I get my PC to recognize my phone?
Phone details:
H/w : standard AT&T tilt2
Winmo : JackOS build Aug/19
XDAndroid version - [MJG]Rhod.2.2Froyo.083010.rar
Thanks,
Dhanvi
PS: I did check the thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641444&highlight=USB+problems and that hasn't solved my problem.

If you read the port status, USB data connections are not currently supported. Only charging is supported via USB.

Thanks for that pience of info, but I do not see anything saying USB on the project development page. Is there some other page that I should be looking at too?
If that is indeed the case, then how do I transfer stuff over from my PC to my SD card when in andriod ? Is there any other method?
Thanks.

Great Idea but waiting for more help
Hey Fist post here about the xAndroid. I have to say this rocks!! First time I got it up I said to myself this is how a phone is supposed to run.
To the questions do any of you know if this USB connection is going to be fixed anytime soon sine I would really like to see if you can connect Google App Inventor to the phone while on this great mod.
Thanks

By far the simplest way to get it done.
I went for installing ADB and droid explorer on my pc. It works, but I have much less hair now.

with the current way xdandroid is built, I can't see it being probable that usb mode will ever work (could be wrong, so feel free to correct me).
i.e. currently we have a FAT partition on the SD card and we loopback mount files on it to act as the android system and data file systems, and the fat can then act as a normal SD card.
because of this, it can't expose the FAT partition to anyone outside of the OS instance (i.e. 2 OS's will be writing to the FAT table (redundant I know) independently and can clobber each other.
On the other hand, I think the way the cyanogenmod port works, by partitioning the SD card into multiple partitions to hold the different sets of data (though not sure it takes it all the way), is an approach that could be made to work for usb access, if separate partitions would be made for the system and data file systems on the SD card and a third partition just used for the FAT FS. This way, android can unmount the FAT partition only (nothing else depending on it) and let it be accessed by whatever machine the device is attached to over usb.
there's a reason its not done this way currently as its much harder to manage and continuously update.
just my 2 cents.

Hm, does this also mean, you can not use tools like MyPhoneExplorer (Outlloksync via UBS with Android phones) due to absence of data over USB? Seems like a decent app, but it does not see my TYTN over USB, says no conenction. I also note, Windows XP is trying to install an 'Android Phone' driver when I connect the TYTN to the Laptop. Is this all somehow related?

Oddly, my phone decides to turn on USB after it's been sitting plugged in for a time, which exceeds an hour. It's like it checks for USB connectivity at some long interval.

With Android on my wife's HD2 (booting from Windows via Haret.exe) USB mass storage mode works fine, so it's definitely doable.

No clue how - when you're in WinMo, what happens when you plug in your phone and select to use it as a disk drive? It unmounts the SD in WinMo and mounts it on your PC. Same thing would happen in Android, but when the card can't be unmounted - as Android is running off of it.

I've been told it's flaky on the HD2 and not recommended for use anyways. Still not sure how it works tho.
We won't have true SD card access (USB mass storage) until Android is flashed onto our devices. Until then, true USB mass storage will NOT work.
In the meantime, there's ADB. Perhaps the HD2 guys hacked something up based on ADB, who knows.

My experience root and flash : Leedroid 2.3c amazing

Finally after lots of deliberating I rooted my desire and flashed with Leedroid 2.3c.
It is such an easy process and took less than 2 hours including restoring backup apps.
A2sd+ works like a dream and setcpu has appeared to increase my battery life by about 60%.
Best thing is I am no longer facing that stupid low space notification and I have retained use of HTC sense.
I urge all HTC Desire owners who constantly battle with that low space notification to root and flash.

Exactly what i was thinking of doing! how do you partition your SD card?

Yes done this not so long ago, its what the phone should of been like out the box. loving A2SD+ works great, setcpu only just installed it today. am also using LeeDroid superb rom.

I found the easy way was through windows insert your sd card into your PC and download and install EASEUS Partition Master Home Edition, you can get this from download.com. hope this helps

I've been thinking about doing this myself for quite some time now. After your post here, I might finally give it a go in a few hours... after midnight is best for such things
After doing this, do you still lose access to all apps on SD while connected via USB to your laptop? Or is this issue gone due to SD card partitioning? I would like to force-move quite a lot of stuff onto my class 10 Kingston

You will lose everythink sadly, make sure befor you format you backup your photos,vids,contacts stuff like that. apps you have paid for from market can be downloaded again without paying.

Or your other option is to root your phone first, and then used a backup manager.

Thanks for the help
ext3 best? and also can you set any size?
will the ROM automatically use the ext3 partition when it runs out of space?

I use ext3 am not sure witch is better tho I just went with that. the rom use the partition all the time, like befor I rooted and installed a custom rom my memory was always low, now I have over 100 apps and still have 63MB and 800MB ext3.
I wouldn't go over 1.5GB well thats what Ive been told and read, I just done mine to 1GB 1024mb=1GB

Well done guys for thinking about it. You will surely not regret it. Root and then back up using titanium. Copy backup to pc and then clean flash a rom. Copy back from pc and restore what you need.

It won't work on Windows Professional machines, which is a bummer as it's a great tool.
I use an Ubuntu Live USB boot and use Gparted. Also lets you easily mess with Windows partitions in ways that make Microsoft feel violated
Also gives you a nice little portable OS and since they made an installer to easily create a persistent state Live USB, it's just a handy tool to carry with you if you fiddle with PCs alot.

Well, it seems like I have to drop this issue for now; I've been trying for more than two hours and I did not succeed using unrevoked 3.3 on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, Ubuntu 10.4 and Windows 7 x64. I followed all steps, but it only killed some apps on my SD, nothing more.
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27 (Baseband), 2.6.32.15-gf5a401c [email protected] #1 (Kernel), 2.29.405.5 CL293415 release-keys (Build), 2.29.405.5 (Software), HBOOT 0.93.
One time unrevoked wrote: "Is your firmware too new?"
What am I missing? Can this be done?

I had all sorts of troubled using unrevoked until I finally tried it using a goldcard and it went through first time.

Where exactly are you getting stuck. I used win 7 x64. I also was running the you tube video of how to root with unrevoked simultaneously.

I was just able to root it using Ubuntu Netbook Edition and am currently repartitioning my SD card for ext-support. Here we go!
How long does this usually take? It won't stop and my phone won't charge... well I just aborted this and try with gparted.

No. The main difference between a2sd+ script and froyo's apps2sd is that froyo uses fat32 partition to store apps which have been coded accordingly. The script moves all the apps to the EXT partition which does not need to be mounted nor unmounted for it to be accessed by the PC, therefore it won't interfere with your apps in any way any longer.

Reporting in; I just flashed a ROM onto my HTC Desire for the very first time. Currently running device setup connecting to Wi-Fi. Thank you for convincing me!

Install Windows from Phone?

I am not sure the correct section to put this into, but here goes.
I have heard ways to install Windows from a USB stick. I was wondering since I do not have a USB stick big enough and also a blank DVD on hand if I could place the image onto my Android SD card and install/reformat my computer that way.
Thanks!
PS. Please move to correct section if need be.

I don't think you could because the computer hardware doesn't recognize the sd card as a mass storage device, the software does, if you get what I mean.

I don't think it's possible to write a Windows live disk to the SD card and use it to format the Windows installation.

This in theory could be done. The one issue you might have is your computer might not recognize the SD card as a bootable option. If you can boot to USB device it might work. Also it isn't as simple as copying a windows install disk to the USB there is work that needs to be done to get it to read correctly and install. If you google linux pen drive I think it has a option to copy the windows cd to the drive boot to linux and install windows.

Yes you can do it. Sd card readers are on a usb connection to the motherboard of a pc. You have to make the sd card a bootable disk though the same way you would for a flash drive.

Never done it with the epic but I used to run puppy linux off my winmo samsung blackjack 2 on a thin client wyse computer. It had a micro sd card in it too. You would need to use a linux distro to be able to properly create a windows installation on another form of media though. Good luck

e4gt bootable iso?

can the et4g be a bootable iso for windows 7?

Doubt it. The phone won't recognize he sdcard with the an ISO written to it and I don't think you could mount it if the phone doesn't recognize it. And on top of that it might be difficult to get the BIOS to see it as a boot able device.

No. Wrong and incompatible hardware on the computer side. The software for the phone was written and compiled specifically for this phone and it's associated hardware.

The way the question is worded makes no sense. You want the e4gt to be a bootable ISO? Whaaaa?
I no understandy

And the answer to that is no, because if you made your sdcard a bootable disk for win7 there would be no way for the computer to read it from the phone without being mounted, and once you try mount the sdcard the phone will require it to be formatted otherwise it won't let you mount it as a storage device.

If you can create the drivers for the software to work with the hardware, then go for it.

You would be mounting the phone as a usb storage device. The microsd card would be formatted and flagged bootable. Modern motherboard support booting from flash drives... i dunno last 8 or more years now?
Windows 7 has a tool for making bootable flash drives. Micro SD cards can have the boot flag on their MBR's set to bootable. The question is does the E4GT (on GB) allow for MBR access in mass storage. I can actually check that since I have a program I wrote for injecting code past the MBR it needs to read it. The next question is how does the phone represent the storage to the computer? If its not in a valid manner then the answer goes back to no because the motherboard may not wish to boot from it.
Ive created Bootable SD cards to boot through an SD card reader to flash firmware to video cards, its not much different and with windows 7 being usb drive bootable using a utility its only a question of this particular phone.

He asked if it can be a bootable iso for windows 7. One word corrected I am pretty sure if he asked if he can use it as a bootable flash device for windows 7 installation.
Which as I explained in my post is plausible. Many phones can do it and doing it with a regular old sd card over a reader on a motherboard with usb boot support is 100% normal. Given the lack of mass storage mount in ICS I would definitely want to be on Gingerbread before I even tried it.

I have done this with my old psp once, had to restore a friends computer which had a dead dvd drive and no usb drive around so formatted the sony memory stick on the psp. High chances of it working I don't see why not.

What is wrong with my Note 2?! PLEASE HELP

Hi I recently purchased a Note 2 from a guy on craigslist. I checked out the phone at purchase and everything proved to be correct. I didn't expect however that he had the phone rooted. I'm a big fan of rooting phones that don't have a good operating systems already or didn't have Android JB but phones like the galaxy phones I believe don't necessarily need to be rooted. I was pissed because I wanted it with stock rom but I just decided to accept it and unroot it myself. So after a long process I got it unrooted and running the latest stock rom and everything seemed to work except for one thing. When I transfered all of the Music files from my previous phones microSD(16gb) to my new one(64gb) none of the music files worked. All of them wouldn't play and the phone would say it can't open the file or something like that. So I tried formating the microSD and trying to put the files on the microSD again and still the files wouldn't play. I had to format the card through the phone itself and transfer the files through Samsung Kies just for 3/4 of the music to work. I can deal with 3/4 but now when I transfer a video file weather through Kies or straight to the folder none of the files play. When trying to play them nothing shows or sounds it's just black screen, you can fast foward or skip but nothing shows. I never thought I would have this much trouble with this phone but it appears as though there's a virus on the phone or card or something that is preventing video and music files to play. Even when trying to play files from the phone on Windows Media Player or any other music/video player the files don't play. I have also found that whenever I connect the phone to my PC let's say a day after I last connected it, I have to run USB connections on Kies and it has to reinstall the drivers for the phone just to actually see the files on the phone. Please help me I have no idea what to do. Thanks in advance.

You need to flashed a kernel that support exFAT format for 64gb or you can format your 64gb to FAT32 format, but for me i prefer to Saber Kernel and i don't need to format my micro sd card, you could try there are other kernels available for stock rom you can find them here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987541

Since you're unrooted, you can't flash a new kernel so you may want to dismiss that last thing.
Have you tried only one 64gb microSD? It seems that your card may be bad or it's not formatted correctly for the stock firmware... I would test out another 64gb card and see if that works since the 16 works just fine.
Edit: Sorry... a little vague... the card needs to be formatted as Exfat if you can do that through Windows, that should work in case the card is actually in good condition.

I don't have any other 64gb microSD cards, the one I have came with the phone. The logo and everything on the card have faded out so I don't know what brand but I think it's sandisk. I don't know at this point I'm thinking it has to be the card because I've tried nearly everything and it's still not working the way I want it to. I formatted it using Windows UGI to FAT32 since thats what you said and that was the same format as the 16gb and sure enough most of the music works with some not working. So I tried putting movies on the card and once I didn't see a preview on the bottom left I knew it wasn't going to work. Seems like the card is bipolar I have a 32gb micro I'll try that, it's brand new still haven't used it, should I just put it in and see if it works or should I format it to FAT32? By the way Thanks again really appreciate your help!

I think he mention phone is rooted sorry if misread that part thats the reason i recommend to flashed kernel that support exFAT, actually as far as i know 64gb microsd card default format is already exFAT and 32 or 16gb is FAT32 and some are in exFAT. If doesnt want to flashed kernel then i recommend format sdcard from computer just plug in from card then right mouse that drive then format and select FAT32 format. If some instance your computer can't read your microsd card and cant format there is chance thar your microsd card maybe bad.

If you can see the files in the player, and you can see the sd card directory using a file explorer, its not the card. I had to add two lines to my system settings file. I'm sorry I don't remember the file name or the content of the two lines. Maybe my comment will jog someone's memory.

I've formatted it to exFat a million times. That what I originally was formatting it to because windows quick format doesn't have a FAT32 option only exFat which was default and NTFS. exFat is not the problem.

It's looking more and more like SD damage...
Considering the fact that other cards work fine...
Copy your media to PC from the SD...and get a new card ?
I know it sucks...
And once the new card is installed...be "very" careful moving those files back as they may be messed up...
I'd pull a few songs from the PC after you copy them over and test them on another card to be sure before loading it to a new and expensive SD...
It sounds like the phone is fine...g

Copy your media to PC from the SD...and get a new card ?
I know it sucks...
And once the new card is installed...be "very" careful moving those files back as they may be messed up...
I'd pull a few songs from the PC after you copy them over and test them on another card to be sure before loading it to a new and expensive SD...
It sounds like the phone is fine...g

Well the card came free with the phone so I'm not too pissed. I'll just sell it and make it someone else's problem.lol

don't be a scumbag; if it doesn't work, don't make someone else's life miserable....throw it away or give it away...

Hummmm, as what the younger people say....REALLY?!?!?!? which I have found has lots of meanings.
really → a question, as an exclamation of dismay, disapproval, doubt, surprise, etc.

I'm not being a scumbag. The card works it's just has some problems but it works. I mean I don't know how the card would react on another phone or maybe someone would use it as their card for their camera I don't know. You're acting like it doesn't work at all and I'm going to try to screw somebody into buying a defective card.
