Device not connecting to computer!

Hey there.
Ok I have a problem. I have had my touch pro 2 for about 6 months now and i am really happy with it, but recently i have ran into a problem.
My phone won't connect to my computer anymore! Not just my computer... no computer at all. Not just activesync, no, it doesn't recognise it at all, not even as a disk drive.
I doubt its the cable because it does charge, and i have tried another cable (not a htc cable but its a cable with the same plug, its from my external harddrive) and it still didn't work.
I also tried a hard-reset on my phone, but still... nothing.
Ive read somewhere that you should push the usb connector a bit up, i did that, but nothing (now the usb connector seems wiggly... glad it still charges though) i have no idea what it could be and i thought i'd post here first before going back to the dealer with it. Because without usb connection i can't install costum roms and that we wouldn't want that, do we?
Well, hope one of you guys can help!

That's very strange I have had it once, but that was due to the rom I used. I flashed another rom and it worked again.
What you could try is to download a new rom and put it on your sd car using this:
http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/
This let's you put stuff on your mobile using wifi. It's worth a try.

But you have to install roms directly from your pc to your phone, while being connected to USB right? The standards htc roms for example can only be installed that way i think... or can you also copy the .exe to your device and run that?
i'll give it a go when i get home. Thanks =]

I am having the same issue here. All of a sudden my PC or Laptop doesn't see the phone at all but it does charge with no issues. When I plug it in I don't even get the sound that the PC knows something was jut plugged into it.

go to settings - connection - usb to pc - untick the enable faster synchronization box
that should do it

As long as you have Hard SPLed your Rhodium you should be able to use the sd card method to install a rom instead of using the PC and usb connection.
You copy the rhodium.nbh file to the root directory of an sd card formatted FAT32 and then boot into bootloader - volume down and power button when off.
Follow the onscreen prompts...

What's interesting with my Tilt2 (not the OP) was that I wanted to flash my ROM with the new AT&T "unofficial" ROM and that's when I found out I couldn't tether. I basically just wanted to tether my phone so I could put that new ROM onto the phone to see if I could make it more reliable and faster. Sigh.

it actually might be the cord...
The same exact thing happened to me... my phone charged with the cord but no computer recognized it...
I bought a new usb cable from radio shack and viola it worked again... so I advise u just trying a new one and if it doesn't work take it back... but try the unchecking the "check for faster sync" box first like someone said bc that do stop it from being recognized sometimes...

Yes, this has (almost) always fixed the issue for me. Somehow WDC becomes blind to new device inserts after you plug-unplug them several times.
Slow but stable is better.

[Q] phone does not recognize SD card

I tried to root it a few weeks ago, but it didn't quite work, so i did a hard reset.
Everything works, except the phone won't boot with the SD card in it (it just keeps looping at the "MyTouch 3g Slide" screen. And the phone will not recognize any SD card. i've tried three. the original samsung 8gb, a kingston 2gb, and a 16gb one. all the cards work perfectly on my computer, one is used to run android on my HD2. so i KNOW it works. I've tried reformatting it also, and that didn't work (FAT32).
how can i fix this?

Can you get to the bootloader and recovery with the SD card in it? If you don't know how hold down the vol down button and power button, then use the volume rocker to go down to recovery and pres power again to select it. If you can't access the bootloader with an sd card in it I would suspect a hardware issue but I'm not sure. If you can get into recovery and flash clockworkmod recovery, then re-download and flash a ROM, such as cyanogenmod 6.1.0 or CR_mod or something. Just to rule out a ROM error.

Might want to try a full wipe again using recovery if you can get into it.

in order to flash CM or clockworkmod recovery, i need to have my phone rooted, correct? what's the easiest way?

In the Dev section for our phone THIS method.
Also, check the slide rom bible for some other stuff you might need, like the stock rom.

Oh, I assumed you were rooted. When you power on with Vol Down, the first screen is hboot... isn't there a full wipe option there, therefore not requiring the OP to go into recovery?

Yeah, there is a wipe option in Hboot.

nope. not yet, at least. i'm working on it now, but i keep running into problems. the latest one, is when i run the "adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals" command in step 4, it just says "error: device not found". i'm pretty sure i've done everything right.
is there anyone willing to help walk me through this with an instant messenger or something? i can probably figure it out eventually, but help would be much appreciated.
also, when i plug the phone into the computer, the phone charges, but doesn't recognize the phone. windows (7) says it can't identify it. and when i unplug the phone, it resets.

Yeah you have to download the drivers for the phone. Here's the link: http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide/downloads/
Download the sync update, it'll install the drivers necessary for adb to work

yes i do. i've done everything right.

if it helps, hboot does see my SD card. so i know it's not a hardware issue.
is there any way i can load the original stock firmware? i loaded ESPRIMG.zip and it worked, but didn't do anything.

It must be an issue on the computer side with your computer not recognizing your phone. I'm on my phone at the moment, with an almost dead battery (bad cm6.1 battery life) but when I get to a computer I'll look it up, there's something else you might have to install. Are you on xp vista or 7?

thanks. i've got windows 7. i can try using another computer. i'll post when i try that.
i called HTC and i'm still under warranty. but will they be able to see my root attempt and not repair it? i don't wanna be charged the $40 "triage fee"

Yes, they will see your root attempt and say you voided your warranty, but it's easy to unroot. Although I don't think your phone is the issue here, since you can still see your microsd card when you plug into your computer, right? Like if you mount USB storage, it works?
Also, try following the instructions in the link I'm about to paste, I used it and it worked fine for me: http://androidforums.com/t-mobile-mytouch-slide/90832-adb-drivers.html

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=746577 Flash that, it will flash the pure stock w/OTA update, without root or wifi tether, it's just pure stock. They don't think twice about it.
And if you cant mount usb storage on your phone and see it on your computer, then I think your phone does have an issue with the usb port. Either that or it's a rom issue? Could be something corrupted.

it MIGHT be a usb issue, but i doubt it. it can't be a rom issue, because i haven't rooted the phone.
when i hit apply update.zip in recovery, it just says "can't find /sdcard/update.zip". it's definitely there, in the root of the SD card.
any ideas?
EDIT: i just used hboot to load ESPRIMG.zip. i THINK that worked. but it still says firmware 2.1-update 1. will that be enough to clear it for HTC?

[Q] PC Not Recognizing USB as Mass Storage

I'm currently on DK28 and anytime I plug my phone into my computer via USB cord it just shows that it's charging. This is an issue since I would like to switch to EB13 and I need to be able to use Odin for the EB13 modem. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Samsung drivers several times and not just on this computer, on two others that I have. I've also tried multiple usb cords and it's all the same thing. I've Googled the problem and everything I've tried has been useless to me, including the PDANet thing. So my question is is there any other way for me to be able to update to an EB13 rom without having to connect via USB? Or does anyone have any other ideas as to how I can fix this? I've been just using a microSD card adapter to put things on my SD for awhile now so that's never been a problem but I can't use Odin unless my computer recognizes my phone I guess.
HELP!!

Have you gone into settings, applications, development and unchecked USB Debugging?
I also have read numerous times where people have found the USB connector on the phone had something bent and was preventing a full good connection.
Good luck

You have got to be missing something drivers can be 32 or 64 bit make sure you have the right one for your computer. Is usb debugging checked in settings/app/development. Randy Shear has alot of step by step stuff for on youtube that might help

Yeah I have USB debugging checked and my computer is 64 bit which is also what my drivers are.

Turn off anti virus and dl driver again thats what I had to do. Reboot both devices also

Tried that too and apparently that wasn't the problem. :\

I read where one person who was having something like this was told to turn their computer off; plug in the phone to the usb and turn the computer on and it worked.
Maybe try that?

I've had this problem, got real annoying after a while. I ended up reinstalling the drivers and turning off usb debugging and it would go into mass storage. Re enabled and tried again, and it continues to work.

Thanks for trying to help guys but unfortunately neither of those things worked either.

I had this problem. I flashed a different ROM (try downloading a new ROM from the phone) then flash it after following the appropriate instructions.
The ROM I had that problem with was Nebula ROM, I fixed it by flashing Bonsai v2.0.

Well I have now tried that as well and even that didn't work. This is so ****ing annoying.

Try flashing another ROM instead of Bonsai. I hate that you're stuck, but I'd try a few more ROMs before giving it to a Sprint Store.

I had this problem as well and did everthing mentioned here as well to no avail.
Now here's what worked for me.
First, install drivers on another pc (ensure that you connect, wait for drivers to load, disconnect and reconnect your phone at least twice..sometimes a takes a couple of connects to install the drivers fully).
Next use odin to flash DK18 stock firmware. When you connect your phone..suddenly mass storage will be back again. You can then load whatever firmware you wish.
This has worked on my phone and a friend's with the same issue.

I had this happen to me on 2 different machines:
- First time: A restart fixed it
- Second time: My phone didn't like the usb ports on my work laptop's docking station. The cable would only work with the actual laptop's usb port.

[Q] USB Mass storage problem

Hi all
Im running the latest cyanogenmod and i love it. Only problem is that when i connect my phone to the PC it appears and then when i try to move files from phone > PC or PC > Phone it then disconnects and the file will fail to move. This is really annoying since i cant add files for things like new ROM software, pictures etc.
Previously when i connected my phone via USB it would instantly reboot but that has stopped now but what happened?
Much appreciated!

if I were you, I would try reflashing the latest rom

[Q] PC not recognizing galaxy s4

Hey everyone!
Sorry, I am new to this forum and I tried looking to see if this was already answered but no luck. If you guys can help me or direct me in the right direction I will greatly appreciate it.
recently I tried rooting my device using Odin. Everything seemed like it worked. I can go into cwm recovery mode, and I have rooted the device (superuser privileges) However, now everytime I connect my device to my PC it doesnt connect and I cannot access my files. So I am not sure what to do, because I cant reinstall the stock rom nor can I flash any custom rom either.
Please help.

This might not be the soulation your looking for but this will allow access to files and enable you to download a custom rom again. You can get a micro sd card reader online for about three dollars for a real cheap one and with that card reader you can put your sd card into it and plug the reader into the usb port of your computer. You will then have the ability to access all your files and it mounts as storage devive so if you download a rom to your computer you can easily share it and download it to sd card with the card reader.just press share file and choose the card reader which will Mount as a disk drive . Once the file is shared then you put the sd card back in your phone and flash as usual. I have to use this method myself because my devive is not being recognised correctly by my computer. This method works very well and is one soulation to your problem. Hope this was helpful.my card reader is cheap but works very well. Its by so.cal trade and is simply called duel slot micro sd card reader. Best wishes.

If your computer does NOT recognize the phone then you need to install the official samsung usb drivers
which can be found here: http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
If your computer DOES recognize your phone then you need to download a custom rom directly to your
phone and go into recovery and flash the custom rom.
Good luck!

Wow, I never thought of that. Thanks alot i will get the micro card reader very soon. Thanks
Thanks! I tried installing the drivers and Kies but no luck. It will still not recognize my phone. Not sure why. Thanks

Try toggling USB Debugging on or off, whichever its at right now.
Also, specify what OS you're using.

^^^^ What he said, You have to have debugging enabled. To do that, go to setting>scroll down to about phone and tap>scroll down to build # and tap it 7 or more times to enable developers options.Go back to previous screen and there will now be a "developers options". Tap that and scroll down to USB de-bugging and tick enable.Plug in the USB and it should recognize the phone in a few seconds. Good luck!

Ive tried all the above also and still not recongised thus im using the card reader. I have all the correct drivers and settings as well. The card reader is a work around. Sounds like your in the same situation as I am with phone not recongised. So try the card reader. At least you can still flash roms and access files with it. Has the same ability. Really hope this helps you.
