So, I am currently using Virtuous Sense 2.0, runs like a charm bla bla, had Andromadous installed and went back to Virtuous Sense.
Now, my problemo is, I have no usb connection anymore. I plug in the cable and my phone will charge but there is no option to select disk drive or whatever anymore.
It's kinda frustrating, does anyone know how to fix this?
- I tried installing a clean Andromadous again, didn't work.
- I tried a factory reset, didn't work.
Oh my, how embarrassing.. It is my computer.
This thread can be closed.
For the sake of others maybe?
First, try a different USB cable. If that doesn't work, try going into ClockworkMod and mounting it from there. If that doesn't work, I don't know what will.
Try different cable and different computer(maybe restart) and/or port
I also tried going into recovery, didn't work.
I plugged it into someone else's pc and it worked over there, put it back in my laptop, still nothing.
Went to device manager and checked for hardware changes and boom, there was the connection

Hi, I have reflashed my ROM I dont know how many times. Yesterday I tried to connect via activesync on a new ROM and it wouldnt connect. These are some of the things that happened:
Device orange charging light flashes a few times then goes off [never seen THAT before]
Activesyc menu comes up on device but activesync doesnt connect
Get 'this device can perform faster' message on desktop
Sometimes get USB devce not recognized on desktop
SOmetimes device orange charging light it stays on if I plug direct into PC but still doesnt activesync
I have tried to connect as DISK DRIVE but I dont see the device on my PC.
Have tried different ROMS, 6.5, 6.51, sense 2.1 and 2.5 but all have same issue. Have also tried connecting to other computers. same issue.
Have played around with USB to PC menu options (enable / diable faster data sync etc) but doesnt make a difference.
Anyone had this problems? Thoughts?
Have you tried diselecting "ask me 1st about usb connection type when I connect the device to the pc" under USB to PC settings
It worked for me
This is the exact problem I am facing!
I tried everything - as diskdrive, activesync (with/without speedup), etc.
On many ROMs, even the original one (WM6.1)
Can't connect - every PC gives an 'unknown device' and on some ROMs I cannot charge via USB, only via mains...
I also tried without the question on connection.
Just some thoughts:
Do you have corruptions on screen sometimes? (Some graphical glitches)
Any .CAB files you cannot install?
Did you try to reflash the same ROM more than once?
tried to connect without card in the device and in flight mode? (Uses less power)
With me it started after a ROM flash from Miri... (I don't blame him!!)
The Hard SPL did not give me any problem, the radio was not flashed, just the OS. But reverting did not help.
I certainly hope you will find a solution, since I have the exact same problem!!
Do you stil know what ROM you flashed when this problem occured?
I reverted to original ROM 6.1 AND 6.5 which included everything - boot, radio, os, stardup image. But it did not change!
I figured it out after trying everything i could: i think its a hardware problem. I have dropped my devicetoo many times, or plugged it in too many times. Who knows.

And how did you figured it out? Did you return the device to the shop?
I have this exact same issue except I am on AthineOS... I thought it was my PC until I read these posts. No OS updates or any other machine updates were performed except on my device. Any clues as to a fix?
Somehow I don't think this is just hardware.
I did drop my device once, but that was even before first flash. After that it still worked.
So, some weeks later I HSPLed without any problem. After that the device still worked.
Then, after investigating which ROM to use I flashed the ROM a few days later.
Right after the first flash it all still worked. So, had to flash another and from that moment on the device cannot be reckognised by any PC.
I still think it has something to do with the flashing. I think the device does not give correct feedback when it receives some commands from PC (eg. the command to reply the device type/number)
Does anyone know a program which can check the USB port for the HTC Touch Pro 2? Just to test wheather the connector pins are ok?
download activesync 4.5 and run the setup. it will perform a repair. that usually solves the problem. if not, try a different usb cable and try plugging into different ports on your pc.

These are the first things done. And this was already written in here.
It happens with many PCs, including some on which the device never connected to.
Also tried different cables, ports, etc.
Also disabled the fast transfer etc. etc.
Even tried several other ROMs, inclusding original Dutch 6.1 and Dutch 6.5
I'm having the same issue. I can connect via bluetooth, but not usb. And I'm stuck with 6.1. I was tole my phone was brand new, but now I'm starting to think otherwise.

Some questions, to verify this is due to flashing or is a fault in the design of the device...
- Where did you get the device?
- Have you flashed the device?
- Did you accidentally drop the device?
hi just to say had a completely orignal o2 xda orbit 1 flashed with new rom everything worked perfect before now active sync plays up i can sometimes connect but get usb device not reconigsed then click cross then pull out usb then reinsert then active sync connects works fully functional then after 5 min it disconects this is driving me mad as use active sync for a fast internet connection on my pda as my wifi is crap
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...
Cheers...

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.
I've tried rebooting, wiped cache and Dalvik, pulled the battery and no success. This recently started happening. Running:
MYN RLS5
NetArchy 4.3.1-bfs-havs w/sbc
Rev 0003
Also rebooted pc and tried a different USB port and still no luck. I'm unable to upload any files because of this. Any suggestions? Oh this all occurs when plugging into a PC. The other weird thing is that it thinks it's plugged into AC when plugged into a USB port.

Flash your rom again, it will probably fix it. I had the exact opposite problem if you can believe it. Every time I plugged in it would automatically mount the SD card for file transfer, even though the screen had popped up and I selected charge only. Reflashing my rom at the time cleared it up.
What happens when you pull down the notification menu and click the charging button? Is the button even there, or does the options menu not come up when you click it?
I had the same thing happen same rom 2 days ago still doesnt work on my windows 7 I tried on my old computer and it worked "old computer is windows xp"

You can also make sure "pc syncronization" is running. If you have it disabled or have removed it you will get this problem. Not saying this is the problem you are having just something to check.

Did you try going into menu/settings/connect to PC & seeing if "Ask me" is checked or not?

Thanks....reflashing the ROM after doing a factory reset did the trick!

Just for future reference, the problem you're talking about here was probably due to Doubletwist or Winamp. Both have options that will cause it to mount regardless of what you choose in the prompt. I think they default to off normally, but you might have turned it on by mistake. I did that with Winamp once and it drove me nuts until I figured out what was doing it.
I spoke too soon. I flashed everything 1 at a time, ROM, then, kernel, then themes; did a wipe cache and dalvik wipe everytime. It was working last night and now I get to work today and it's not. I've even tried in recovery mode (clockwork) to mount the USB, but nothing happens. This is getting to be frustrating now. Only thing different is the cables; the cable at home is a cheap dollarstore cable which works with no problems and the cable here at work is from a blackberry which has been working fine. I've even rebooted my desktop which is running WinXP. Any suggestions? Not running winAMP or doubletwist as they suck.
I also get a strange error when wiping cache:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
Any idea what this is or means?
I have no idea what the error means, but here's what I'd do.
Flash things one at a time and give it a few hours to see if it'll still work. Full wipe, flash rom. See if it stops working. Then do the same with the kernel, then with each individual theme piece you flash. Something you're flashing is screwing with the USB part of the device. Once you flash something and the USB doesn't work, don't flash that anymore and let it's dev know so s/he can fix it.
The troubleshooting process is often a long and ridiculous, but figuring out the problem will feel so much better.
I plugged into a co-workers PC and the phone was recognized right away. This narrows it down to problem with my desktop PC. I am using a 4-port USB hub on my desk which has been working flawlessly with this phone and others. I did have my pc swapped out last week, so maybe the usb port is bad on the PC.
I changed usb ports that the hub was plugged into on the pc and low and behold, the phone is being recognized again! Now I just need to figure out what that weird error is when I wipe cache:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
It sounds like the 2 data connections on the port you were using must be shorted together, or at least not connecting. If it thinks it's connected to AC, as you mentioned earlier, it won't present the connection options. There are also some cables that are designed for charging only and have those pins shorted in the cable, but it sounds like you got it working on another computer with the same cable. That would lead me to suspect the port. Does anything else work when you plug it in that port?
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.
Hey Guys and Girls.
Till few days ago my DHD was working just fine.
Now when I connect it to pc nothing happens, just show that its charging.
Phone is not showing that I can chose USB type, and pc is not recognizing anything, even in computer manager.
Weird thing is showing in phone application manager, when Im going to transfer app to sd, its show "TRANSFER TO PHONE STORAGE", but when is on sd it show "TRANSFER TO PHONE".
I think I tried everything. Pls help.
1. I instal 3 version of custom Rom and still same thing.
2. I test my sd in computer and other phone, work fine.
3. I tried original USB and other USB and nothing.
4. No pc can recognize phone.
Sound like you don't have the usb driver installed on your PC.
Install HTC sync to get the drivers. You can uninstall afterwards, but leave the drivers installed.
Sent from The App that Time Forgot.
I tried few times to reinstall HTC Sync , I also tried to instal older HTC Sync and nothing. Phone when connected not showing USB options, it only show that its charging, same as when I plug it in to wall charger.
Can someone trie to see my weird problem in app manager as I wrote in first post.
Thanks, I realy need help, don't want to buy another phone
And another thing, when u connect your mobile phone to any pc, it will ask you to chose USB connection type, even u don't have instaled drivers, u can use it as device USB storage
Try a different cable, or a different phone on that cable.
If a different cable works, the old one is dead.
If a different phone works on that cable, you have an issue with the phone.
If neither work on either phone / cable, try a different PC.
What firmware are you running?
I'm using RcMix 3d, runnymede 4.0.
2.3.5 with sense 3.5.
Cables are working with other phones,
Maybe my phone lose driver or something. Hmmmm
You could maybe try a full wipe, and/or reinstalling the rom.
Better yet - backup your current rom, then wipe and see if your phone connects. If it does, I'd restart from there.
One more thing.
When I'm going to backup my desire hd, everything is fine,
But on sd-ext its say no sd-ext backup skipped.
Maybe that's the problem?
