problems connecting to pc via usb - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have 4 micro usb cables and ive used numerous computers. operating systems from mac, vista and windows 7 my evo just will not connect to anything. this is very frustrating. ive used usb debugging and disk drive, nothing works. any help please.

Do other things work in those USB drivers?
Assuming they do, how long do you wait before you decide it's "Not connecting?" It usually takes my phone a good 30 seconds before it shows up on my computer

i used my moms phone(samsung sync) and that read. i did a reset yesterday and that also didnt work.

Try installing HTC Sync...Maybe you don't have the drivers installed?
If that doesn't work I think you may have to contact Sprint

I'm on a custom rom, the drivers are installed, I have 3 different cables (3 different brands as well) I used the back ports, every computer in my house.. I highly suspect it is windows xp that is the problem because it works flawlessly on my girlfriend's laptop

Mine would not connect to the PC's at work until I unchecked the unknown sources unders settings/applications. Haven't had a problem since.

[Q] Help pls....

I have an stock EVO that will not connect to the HTC Sync program no matter what version of Sync I install. The Sync program doesn't see My EVO, nor does the device manager display it as an Andriod Device.
I have installed and tried both 2.0.35 & 2.0.40, neither will see the phone when plugged into computer. I also have PdaNet (purchased version) installed and that program allows me to wire tether on the same pc and same phone. I have also tried this on another pc with the same results. I am baffled.
My reason for this help is simple, I want to ROOT this EVO but with the Sync program not seeing My EVO when wired tethered, well, need I say more?
Anyone out there in Techno World, help pls.....
Thanks in Advance Y'all.

Try turning on USB debugging in settings

On computer, try uninstalling the HTC Sync program via Programs and Features menu, leaving behind the HTC BMP USB Driver and the HTC Driver Installer on the computer . . .
ok, will give that a shot, brb.
@ SteveGrandRapids,
Ok, did as you suggested and now in my device manager i see:
Disc Drives>HTC-Android Phone USB Device
Will I now be able to have the ROOT program see my phone?
Are you running a sense rom? Sync will only work on sense, not aosp.
YUP, full stock atm.....
Thx Y'all, as you can see, My EVO is now rooted and lovin it. WiFi Tether working perfectly. Unrevoked3 worked flawlessly, sealessly and my hat is off to the Devs for their hard work. I did NOT loose any data nor did I have to reinstall any of my apps. Just follow the instructions and the video. Entire process took about 30 minutes. I recommend you watch the video and do the process along with it. VERY GOOD JOB!

Thx, now that Ima rooted and everything still works just fine including PdaNet, Ima good. I don't use Sync anyway as a Sync program. Everything I need sync'd is done by google or EverNote. I just needed the pc to recognize my EVO so I could root it. Ima rooted, WiFi Tether works perfectly, didn't loose data or need to reinstall any apps. Ima in HIGH COTTON now.
Thanks anyway my friend....

Glad it went well . . have fun . .
Actually, Huston, We Have a Problem.
An hour and 20 minutes after rooting, the EVO went completely dead sitting in its dock. I noticed it wasn't charging but it still had 42% left when I last checked it. Doubtful it could use that much juice in a 30 minute period. Now its completely dead and will not charge or boot. You'd think if something was to happen, it would have happened quickly and not wait. Its electric, its either on or off, no inbetween.
Strange because after I rooted it, I made calls with it, accessed the web and most important to me, wifi tethered my laptop and gtablet to it. It rebooted fine too..and all was working perfectly. I noticed that the root process used some power so I put it into its dock to charge it up and nothing. Tried to plug it directly into a USB2 and still nothing. Everything worked just minutes prior to it going dead.
I haven't a clue whats wrong except once I get home I'll put in a fully charged battery and see if it boots. If it does, next thing is to see if the battery will charge.
Any ideas?
Try the fresh battery and post back with update.

Will do, but that will be about 3 1/2 hours from now. Still at work.....
OK, it was the battery. Was so low it shut down phone. Plugged it into my home charger still in the phone and the charge light came on so I removed it, placed it in my dual charger and installed my spare battery and all is well.
Dohhhhhh!!

S3 suddenly stopped being able to connect to computers

Hi there,
Not sure if anybody else has experienced this. Suddenly my S3 stopped being able to be recognized as a device by any computer. It will charge when plugged into USB. I have checked and fast charge isn't turned on. I have uninstalled the drivers from all my computers, I've tried this on a mac and a PC.
I'm on Task's AOKP Rom. But I have tried other Roms and the problem still persists. So I'm thinking it's a problem with my S3. Right now it's very annoying in that I have to always pop out my SD card to transfer files to my phone.

Did you check the oil?
Edit: I'm joking haha. But you might want to try another cable. It's almost always the cable.
The fact that you changed ROMs makes this less likely, but maybe you have a kernel that has Fast Charge on?

Probably not. Go to settings - USB Connection and check MTP. It works better than the other one.

Strange, I remember seeing that option on the stock TW rom, but I can't seem to find it in Task's AOKP rom, I noticed you're on AOKP too, would you mind giving a bit more detail on where that option is?
I know this isn't the perfect solution, but if you ever get yourself into a situation where the wire won't work and you really need to transfer files and you're on reliable wifi give AirDroid a try. Free app, that allows you to transfer files from a web browser. Saved me many many times. Sorry I can't help with the original issue!

I had the same problem with my stock/rooted ATT s3. Tried a multitude of cables and settings, but what finally worked was a bit of advice from another site. Power the phone off, pull the SD card, and try again. For me this worked. I do not have a good explanation why, but it ended a good bit of frustration.
Good luck to you.
Tried this and other -- nothing works

I've been having the same trouble, and tried this and other "fixes" (like in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049834) but nothing seems to work.
My situation is perhaps a little different, but this is what I know:
New Rogers SGS3 (I747M) - never rooted, or anything fancy
Plugged it into Kies the first time, and told me there was a Jelly Bean update
Did the update.
Now no computer will detect it - 2 PCs and a MAC.
I've installed and uninstalled drivers off and on for weeks
Tried Odin mode and Odin on 2 PCs
Doesn't even show up in the Windows Device list.
ADB doesn't see it (I assume because the driver doesn't see it)
Nada.
I only have one cable - the one that came with it.
People often talk of making sure it's in MTP mode, but I have no USB settings in my "settings" (JB is different?) though I think I can set it through the PhoneUtil suggested in the link above.
Created an account here (and watched the Noob video!) just to ask this question. All I can think of is that I must have broken something on the phone. Does anyone have any more suggestions or should I just take the phone back to Rogers and say it's broken?
Thanks a bunch!
Ian
Uninstall Kies
Uninstall Drivers
Reboot
Hook up the phone and let Windows Update get whatever drivers it can. It won't get them all
Unhook phone
Install the I747 drivers
Do NOT install Kies
Hook da fone back up
Still nothing

First and foremost - thanks.
But nothing happens. Uninstalled everything AND used the registry editor to get rid of everything "Samsung" and "Kies". I've now noticed, that I don't even get the windows "da-dump" when you plug a USB device in.
It seems there are no SGH-I747M specific drivers (are there?), just the "Samsung USB driver for mobile phones". Is that right?
So, I'm still stuck. The thing charges, but NOTHING else.
Any more ideas?

Thanks. The server you pointed to seems to be down though so I got them from canman.konnekerville.com/ d2att/Rooting/ATT_I747_GSIII_Samsung_USB_Driver_v1_4_6_0.exe
No change when I plug the phone in.
In the mean time, I tried looking at the connectors on the cable and in the phone and tried cleaning them up. Still nothing.
I think it's gonna have to go back to Rogers....

YOU sir are no geek. Only 1 cable? They are a dime a dozen now days. Even AT&T gave me a free one the other day. The good thing is that your back up and running. Again, why is it that it is most always the smallest thing that causes the biggest head ache?

Did I brick it for real????

I took my phone into the sprint store this evening because the usb port was starting to act up. The tech resoldered the connections and the phone started charging the way it was supposed to again. I had flashed FC09 modem, MTD stock deodexed and Marcusants nyan kernel that shows FC09 as the baseband. I did this of course so the tech could run his diagnostics and it wouldn't look out of the ordinary. The tech I worked with already knows I root and even remembered me from my last USB port replacement but that's another interesting story in of itself.
Anyway, when I got home I set about setting it back to my previous set-up. At this point my battery meter showed 70% before I restated into CWM. I started the restore proccess from CWM and put the phone in my pocket without even thinking since I had some work to do. I pulled the phone out about an hour later when I remembered it only to find a black screen. The phone had died somewhere in that hour or so. I thought it was no big deal and I would just charge it and all would be good. I connected it to the charger and got no lights of any sort and no reaction. I tried 4 different chargers all of which work perfectly with other phones in the house to no avail.
I then tried to hook it up to my computer and got no response when attempting to reach download mode with the only 2 data cables I have; one is a radioshak and the other is the stock sammy cable. I took the battery and SD out and let it sit for about an hour. I hooked the phone back up to the cable with no battery and attempted download mode with no response. I'm at a loss as for what to do now.
I can't get to download mode and I can't take it back to the sprint store because the guy I'm sure will just blame me for rooting my phone and messing with it.
Now what??????? Could I have actually bicked it with a CWM restore that maybe died in the middle? Or could he have ****ed up my USB port for data and now im screwed on Odin.
Edit: I forgot to add the tech did what he said was a full diagnostic on it before I left and he said it passed with flying colors.
There are a large amount of threads on restore a brick in the QA forum. Try using search terms like: "hard brick" to locate them. There are good posts in them that may be of assistance. I can't recall much of the info from memory, hence my search suggestion.
Next time you go to do anything in recovery, don't have anything planned for that 3-15mins. That phone should have been burning up your pocket with the restore and screen on the entire time. I'm not sure how you didn't notice it, lol.
Maybe the battery is dead and the port stopped working again, try a charged battery

As far as I'm concerned this HAD to have been the problem. As you can see in OP I did most of the things listed in the brick threads along with the stickies.
I talked to someone on IRC about the possibility of making a download jig but my soldering person (my old man) wasn't available in time.
Sooooo. I took it back to the sprint store and simply did another TEP claim and had absolutely no troubles. In fact the guy apologized to me and said he's still getting better at his soldering skills. Not the first time I have had a USB port charge but give no data access after being soldered by them.
The batterry is fine and is sitting in the refurb epic I just got back today.
Now I have a new problem. I'm trying to root the new epic and am having trouble getting it recognized in Win 7 Pro X64. I d/l the latest drivers from thier website and have tried multiple different ways of install/uninstall including specifically giving it Admin priveleges. I have also tried unistalling drivers and installing keis using same method with same nogo.
After fiddling with SamSucks software I uninstalled all of it and d/l Heimdall.
I followed the directions in the readme.txt to install drivers and all it could find was unknown USB device which it couldn't install drivers for.
All install and uninstalls were done with restarts and ccleaner in between to make sure of complete deletion.
Could I have gotten another bad data port phone that only charges?
The only way that works every time for me is to turn on USB debugging, uminstall all drivers from the computer and then allow Windows update to search for drivers....can take like 30 minutes sometimes to get all that are needed but it always works for me.

Now It seems like I'm not getting any data connection at all between the phone and computer. I'm on my third USB cord and I can't even get the phone to ask about mounting the SD card to transfer data to the computer. This just seems odd from a straight from Sprint refurb.
Edit: To make things even weirder I just hooked up my wife's Samsung feature phone and it gets recognized almost instantly.

By doing this I'm assuming you mean go into the device manager, selecting update driver, then Search automatically for updated driver software. Is this what you mean? I had tried this without USB debugging before your suggestion and got no dice. I just tried it with USB debugging and still no dice. Though it didn't take very long to fail so I could be doing something wrong.

No. Choose uninstall driver. Then if it fails try a different port. If it is a desktop computer then only use the ports in the rear.

This is exactly what I have been doing. I have tried all 6 ports on the back with nothing plugged in and all 3 ports on my netbook. The odd part to me is no matter what port on what computer I plug into, the phone does not seem to recognize it is plugged into a usb port.

If you tried a total of 9 different ports then it sounds like a hardware issue on the Epic again.
I took the phone back to the sprint store thus evening and the tech had all the same problems I did. He tried several cords and ports to no avail. He ordered me another epic.
Its hard to believe they let these things out of the factory in such poor shape.
Here's to hoping I get a good one this time. *fingers crossed. I'm already so tired of stock rom, I miss my CM7.

Guess ya never know lol. Good luck on the next one.
OMG I think I'm going to go nuts. I brought my fourth epic home last night and proceeded to odin CWM. Everything went perfect, or so I thought, as it said it passed. Now the damn thing is completely unresponsive and none of the tricks to get it into d/l mode work. How is this even possible. They did a battery of tests on it before I left the store and it passed. I didn't think Odin had the capability to mess up the phone this much. Any ideas on wth is going on are welcome at this point.
How old is your computer? Maybe its not sending all the data and maybe just a portion of it

I'd have to agree with phonehunter59 on this one. It sounds like something is going wrong on the computer's end of things or maybe Odin.
It could also be the version of odin you are on, maybe it's too old

Will I'm not sure what exactly went wrong but I did get into download mode finally. I used the old voodoo "magic button" coupled with pressing the power button. I was then able to enter download mode and flash. I think the problem this time was bad settings in Odin. I only unchecked restart and not everything else. As soon as I unchecked everything I was able to successfully flash CWM.
As for my computer, it's a QX6850 sitting on a 680i. About 6 or 7 years old or so, but it still gets the job done pretty good. OS is 64 bit windows 7. I used the version of Odin found in Kenny's rooting sticky in general.

2. Power the phone off.
3. Power the phone on.

Thanks for the response but that didnt seem to help.
I'm curious if its a hardware issue or something else. I've restored a backup i had to see if that helped but nothing. If i return to stock unrooted will that help? Or does someone have an idea as to why and how to fix this? Thanks for any help.
No idea. I did some searches for something like "android stuck usb charge only" and came up with the below. Some folks said that they were able to fix it, though not permanently, by wiping. The above seemed to work for some, though again, not permanently. I wasn't able to find anything else.
Did you try connecting to other PC's?
Did you try removing the device from your PC's device manager, uninstall the driver, then reinstall the driver and reconnect?
I agree it seems hardware'ish because it's also a problem with the MHL cord, too. I wish I could help more, but there's not much out there about being stuck in charge only mode.
Are you still under Manufacterer's warranty? Maybe that can be returned because it won't mount.?

Dont have another PC so that option cant be tested now. I removed the device and unistalled/reinstalled drivers and nothing.
Warranty is not an option because its past due. I do have insurance but am afraid of not getting an OG in return and i dont know how all that works to be honest.
I am willing to return to stock but only one concern i have is losing all my data. How do i backup pics and documents without being able to connect to pc? PLEASE can someone show me the way. Thanks again for all responses.

I'm using the original USB cable.
Now I'm using LGNPST but i cant get it to recognize my phone. IDK what else to do.
Have you tried different drivers yet? There's 3 of them here.

Let's hope this'll work for you.

I started having this problem after installing the latest LG drivers. Replicated the issue on 3 different Windows 7 PCs. 1 32-bit home-built, 1 64-bit Gateway laptop with OEM image, 1 64-bit HP Laptop with work image.
Before upgrading, phone connects fine with in both MTP & PTP modes just using built-in (or pulled from WU) drivers. After upgrading to LG drivers, PC no longer detects the phone. Uninstalling the drivers or going backwards to earlier versions does not fix the problem.
Again,thanks to everyone for their responses, I really appreciate it. But unfortunately nothing seems to be helping my issue. I'm going by my wife's job to hook up to her computer to see if hers can recognize my phone, well at least I hope.
One thing I ask of someone, I've been using Arliberator to connect to my radio. Maybe someone has more knowledge than me to help.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5reWxlLmFybGliZXJhdG9yIl0.
Anyways, it has an option under settings to "fix drivers" which I have no idea what it does so i never messed with it. Except for when it wouldnt connect to the radio, I pressed it. Could that have anything to do with it not connecting to pc? I've emailed the dev of this app but have gotten no response as to what it does.
I'm really at a loss here as I can still use my phone but not to its full potential. Its frustrating because I cant even return to stock to see if it will fix my issue. Is there any other way to return to stock without a pc? Like can i flash a stock RUU? I ask because I once had an Evo 4g and was able to do it that way.
Again, thanks to everyone's responses.
I finally heard from the dev of ARLiberator and he guarantees me his app has nothing to do with my phone and that the "fix drivers" is for the app only. He says to try and reset my phone to try and solve my issue. But wouldn't that completely erase my phone?
Idk how I got here...
Anybody???

Thanks but that didnt help either. Idk what else to do. I dont understand how it can still charge but not be recognized by my pc or mhl cord doesnt show up. Weird thing is when I do plug up the MHL phone recognizes it and the mirroring, idk what its called exactly pops up but doesnt show up on TV.
What to do...what to do...
Your charging port may have broken a connector. Happened to my last phone. Charges fine but the computer connector won't work. Replacement needed bud.

If this is the case will sprint replace it even if I am rooted? I have the insurance but have been hesitant to take it for that reason.
