I'm using core cell evo v3.0, I did try a different computer and it didn't work. Both computers didn't recognize my phone was plug-in.

When you plug in the USB, you should get a menu that asks if you want to use activesync or disk drive. Do you get this screen?
You may have a bad USB port. The TP2 is know to have this issue - I just had to return mine after 6 months for a warranty replacement because the USB port went bad.

What "shop" did it just come back from?
In Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC, what checkboxes are selected/not selected?
Do you have 'Ask me first....' selected & 'Enable faster data synchronization' un-selected?
sounds like ur usb port is fried. flash stock rom via SD,relock and get it replaced.

[Q] USB won't connect Phone to Computer

I cannot connect my device (EVO 4G) to my computer via USB. I have all the drivers, I have everything set correctly on my device and I cannot seem to make it work.
I cannot use adb wifi because I am not rooted, and I would like to root so I can get rid of this gingerbread 2.3.3 because it sucks. If you think you can help please do so I am dying here and nothing I find seems to be helping me and I would really like to get rooted again... damn insurance replacements.

Did your computer promote discovering new hardware when EVO 4G is pluged in?
Or do you mean your computer can find your sd card when EVO 4G is on disk drive mode, but can't successfully connect with a hecking software?
Do you have usb debugging on just a thought?

have you tried a different computer? What OS (operating system) are you running? Win 7 picks up drivers a lot better than say Windows XP. go to Start right click on computer and click on manage.. Go to devices, and check to see if you see a Android device driver on there. If you don't than either your usb is messed up or the os isn't picking up the driver. If you do see the device, uninstall it and replug your usb back in and see if it installs... Lemme know if that worked thanks
Change the cable. I've gone through several cables because of this exact same issue.
Or you could have the dreaded bad usb port.

Yep, same problem .
4 different cables, only one will recognize as "disc drive".
I have tried different cables, different PCs different methods only to discover my port was coming off of the board. Found a service locally that replaces them and I am good now. Very frustrating....
There are a few threads that discuss using ZRoot to attain a temp root for the sake of trying to fix the usb with adb codes. You may want to try this so you can use adb wifi...Example here
Hope this helps...

Can I root from SDCard?

I bought a used stock EVO. When I plug the USB to my computer the charge light turns on but I don't get any sign that it recognizes the phone. So I can't mount for rooting. Is there a way to root from the sdcard? The phone sees the card fine. I have searched Google for a while and couldn't find anything.

have you tried a different cable? Also it is not possible to root from sdcard it requires usb connectivity from the phone to pc
Tried 2 different cables.
sounds to me like drivers are missing.

The phone doesn't give any indication that something other than a charger is connected. No screen asking how I want to connect, and no USB icons on the task bar. So I think it is a device issue not a computer issue. I have tried 3 different cables and 2 different computers.
hey,
Try a different usb port as well as rebooting your computer, make sure you have the htc drivers needed for rooting downloaded maybe? If that doesnt work maybe factory reset the phone and try again! I wish you the best of luck!

USB Debugging

Hey guys I'm trying to root my S3 via the tool kit in the developers section and I'm having a problem. My phone doesn't want to enter USB Debugging mode. I have it turned on in the settings but every time I connect it, it just connects as a media device any help would be appreciated thanks.

I had trouble with USB Debugging as well...I thought it would show in the notification bar but it does not give any indication that it is actually working.
Either way, it would not let me connect to ADB. First thing to try is make sure you have all the right drivers installed. If you're sure of that...you can slap yourself in the forehead like I did and try a different USB port and possibly cable...I had mine plugged into my USB 3.0 port and for some reason it did not like it...I changed USB ports and it worked like a charm.
Good luck.

Unable to Root - USB?

Hi All,
I need help to root and S-OFF my phone. The issue is that my USB charging post does not work (PC and other laptops do not detect it). I have read the Welcome to the HTC Desire (Bravo) Troubleshooting Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632) and followed Section 11, at step number 7, I am unable to boot into recovery - all i get is a black screen with a red triangle /!\?
My phone is not recognized by the PC when selecting "Disc Drive", "HTC Sync". Have tried fastboot and I also tried Unrevoked, does not detect phone, have made sure usb debugging is on, any ideas - help and guidance will be appreciated.
Phone Info:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP 031d
RADIO 5.11.05.27
Android Version 2.2
Baseband 32.49.00.32U-5.11.05.27
so your micro usb port on your phone is damaged and cannot transfer data?
that method won't work
"#NOTES: MUST BE BOOTED INTO ROM, ONLY TESTED ON FROYO AND S-OFF"
you can't do step 7, because step 6 will fail. it can't flash a recovery because you are not s-off yet.
have you installed all the relevant drivers for the phone to be detected? install htc sync, then uninstall it but leave the htc drivers.
at a minimum you will need your phone to be recognised by PC. then use revolutionary to s-off. follow the guides.
Hi
Thanks for the reply's. It may be that the USB port is damaged.
I have installed HTC Sync and uninstalled it,not removing the drivers.
Is there a way to root without USB, say using the micro SD card?

not sure to be honest. so when you connect, computer can't see it or connect at all, you can't browse your sd card? it still charges though, so usb port is not completely broken.
have you tried another micro usb cable / laptop with drivers installed / sd card just to be sure?
you will almost certainly need it to be detected by pc to s-off/root etc. the software needs to communicate with the phone. have another look at the guides to see if they have another workaround.
Hi
Used another cable to check computer connection, still no joy, phone not recognized and does not charge phone anymore
I have read the guides, they all want PC access, do just asking if anyone knew of a different solution?

well if your phone doesn't charge anymore you need to look at the bigger picture. you need a working usb port regardless, at a minimum to charge the device! even if you s-off / root etc if it's not going to last one charge!
send for repair if it's under warranty, or find out how much it would cost for someone to repair it. there are probably guides out there to change it yourself if you're adventurous.
once it's repaired and working, you can s-off root etc properly
