I decided to update to new Revolution 7.0.2 in a while (had version 5), everything went fine, no errors at all, my Desire HD connected to PC, found the SD card I was able to copy some files etc, but then suddenly everything stopped working next time I decided to connect it to my PC.
Now, I tried turning USB debugging off and it didn't help.
I tried changing the letter in windows, and nothing. I can't even format it in Windows.
As far as I can see, SD card is working fine in the phone, no errors at all. There seems to be some connectivity issue between my phone and Windows (7, 64bit).
When I connect it, it doesn't even ask me how I want to connect it (charge only, disk drive, usb teethering, etc), it just connects as charge only and stays that way. There's nothing in notification.
No idea why is it messing around as it worked fine the first time after flashing new ROM.
Does anyone have experience with this and know how to fix it? I still got a lot of stuff to copy over (music, etc) and this is just annoying

I have rooted several times in the past. I believe I know what I am doing. Now that I have this ROM installed, when I plug my Evo into the usb, it does not even prompt me for connection type, such as internet sharing, mount disk etc. I try toggling usb debugging, still no go. What should I do? As of now I can not access my SD card because USB does not work, even tho the LED comes on as if it is charging.
This might help

I did the SD card thing. Didn't change anything. Can't do Fix USB because I can't access my SD card.
What rom are you using? Was it working previously? I'd try a restore from the last time you knew it was working.
Edit: can your computer read the Sd card if you put in a reader?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702374
how would I do a restore? Also, I don't have a microSD card reader but I guess I will get one.
Any more ideas broskis? Sucks not being able to flash more roms. The "Choose a connection" box doesn't even pop up when plugged in via usb.
I got this a couple times today. Dunno what's up. Maybe an apk that was removed? Mine doesn't even want to charge anymore. 0.0 phone will charge for a second then nothing. Only have 40% life left.... ((
EVO disk drive confusion....
Hey guys, really new to the technical aspects of the android scene.... looking for some help....
I have an EVO 4g that WILL NOT mount as disk drive, on either of my 2 WIN 7 computers; it will charge, and the physical connection doesn't appear to be lose or damaged, as it connects to charge without problems. This is rooted w/ unrEVOked 3. Computer doesn't recognize it at all, either debugging off or on, with my default choice being 'mount as disk drive' and 'ask me every time' chosen.
It is not the USB port on the computer nor the cable, because another EVO, although newer, same setup, connected in the same way works just fine....
I have no issues with the phone reading the SD Card app2SD programs that I have on it... I have tried removing the SD card and battery and reseating them with nothing changing.... I rarely connect to the computer..... but I have almost the same set up on both phones as far as programs, ROOT method, etc.....
What should I look for that causes the computer not to recognize this one???
Any and all help would be appreciated, and I would be HAPPY to donate to any of you DEVS that can help me find and fix this!!!!!
THANKS!!!

I can't figure this out and really need help. My phone just recently has started doing this with no explanation. When I connect my phone to the computer it does not sync so that I can access my sd card and internal storage. I have tried multiple ROMs and that doesn't seem to change it. This happened suddenly and I cannot seem to locate the source of the problem. Please help me.
Thanks.
One other thing, Every time I plug it into the wall, the USB debugging turns on as if it is being plugged into my computer. Never did this before. Very frustrating and confusing.
Have you tried a different data cable?

I have solved issues like this with a fresh install of sync too-
Today I started to cleanup old folders from my SD card and I might have gotten a little carried away (since emptied trash on pc). Most of them were empty from old aps etc but since then I am unable to get my phone to connect to any pc. I'm not even sure those files or whatever would be on my sd card so I may not have deleted them to begin with. Yes, I have usb debugging enabled and all that stuff and I do get a notification but no options to choose anything with my ROM (SkyRaider 4.3). The phone charges, SD card is recognized by phone and can explore etc with root explorer, mounted, remounted, did a nandroid from a few weeks ago, different pc's and usb ports and still I do not get anything on the phone for an option to charge only mount as disk etc. I have tried everything I can think of. Is it possible I deleted some files that are necessary to do this or could it be something else?
Go into settings > pc connect and check ask me
I had this problem for a while. But it was hardware related (dropped it in the bathtub, yeah ...) but after I dropped it off the roof of my truck onto the asphalt, it started working again. But deleting stuff on the SD card shouldn't effect it at all. Just to make sure, can you mount it in recovery? Assuming your rooted that is.

Not caused by changes on phone
Nope it's something else. I've noticed the same issue with mine. I have over 300 photos on the SD card and wanted to move them over to my computer but it's not being recognized. It could be a Windows update to your computer that is causing it. I'm going to troubleshoot it when I get a moment. I've been playing around with my Streak 7 that I just got and haven't given it a thought.
Thanks all for the replies but I got it working. I didnt do anything special to get the option to mount as a disk drive I just kept trying different things. Strange thing is is that it wasnt working on 3 computers and then all of a sudden it just worked on all of them. I tried so many things so many times dont know what the deal was or is...
Connect to PC options in Settings
I took a look at mine this morning and I simply went into Settings, Connect to PC, and changed the Default connection type to Disk drive. I had to clean out my SD card; I had way too many pictures on it and hate scrolling through them.
You can also check the Ask me option too. I simply change the connection type and I have access to the drive.
Hai,
Up until recently my Evo 4G connected to my computer with a USB data cable fine to both of my Win 7 x64 computers. Not to long ago I flashed a rom of MIUI (can't remember which), and my data cable stopped working. Sense then I have bought a new cord, flashed new roms, installed drivers (I didn't see x64 ones), uninstalled/reinstalled HTC Synch. Nothing works.
When I plug in the phone Windows makes the usb connect "ding" noise, then a pop up says the usb device could not be identified. If I wiggle the cord Windows makes the ding noise making me think the phone is only partially connecting? When I connect it nothing pops up on the phone itself. The charge light only comes on.
What should I do?
Hey,
Try booting into the bootloader and mount usb or toggle usb depending on your recovery and that should fix the problem if not, it might be an issue with MIUI! It has been giving me trouble when I tried to flash it so I couldnt use it, but many times between roms and kernals sometimes you will loose usb and it isnt the cable! try flashing a new rom and let me know how it goes!
stevo!
Hit the thanks if I helped!
I went into recovery and mounted usb, and sd card and the windows pop up came up. It said the usb device has malfunctioned, and windows could not recognize it. Same thing when I reboot. Seems to connect/disconnect when i move the cord with that pop up anytime it does connect.
I've flashed CM7 nightly sense then and now I am on [10-11-11][ROM] gingerbread-evo-deck [1.3][2.3.7 Stable] #Stablistic. I did notice when I click the pop up in windows it takes me to the info page for the unidentified usb and it says there is no driver installed for it.
Alright, I have two guesses.
I am glad you were able to mount it, and as long as it is reading i really dont think its the cord.
Now did you partition your sd card? because if you did you turned it to a linux file and your windows pc cannot read that
can you reformat your sd card and try it again?
If you keep having issues pm me.
I have had problems with that on my wifes lg optimus so what i did i took out the SD card and downloaded Mini tool partition wizard home edition 7 i used this to reparation the sd card and then reinserted the sd card and it worked after that. note i did put a ext 3 partition on the sd card. also if you have two primary partitions on the card widows will only recogize the first one. not sure if that is the issue in this case but i hope this helps
here is the partition wizard download

I can no longer access my SD card from my windows pc when connected by USB. This occurred on the same day that i unlocked my bootloader, installed the java sdk and android sdk.
I have the phone set MSC (mass storage mode) and connect it by USB as I always did in the past.
Windows recognises that something is connected and a new removable drive is created.
In the past my phone would give me the option to connect the memory card, however this no longer happens.
Clicking on the new drive in Windows causes a message box to pop up saying "Please insert a disk in drive..."
No amount of fiddling with usb settings (debugging, MTP, etc) plugging / unplugging or rebooting has made any difference. I've tried reinstalling USB drivers and removing & reinstalling Sony PC companion. I've also tried accessing the sd card from ubuntu in a virtual machine, but that also doesn't work.
I can view the SD cards contents from my phone and through an adb link.
Does anyone have a solution? From extensive googling, the only things i can see that i haven't tried is:
- trying a different cable (which has been suggested but sounds pretty daft to me)
- reformatting the sd card
Any other suggestions? If i do have to format the sd card, are there any good guides or is there anything i need to avoid doing???
Can you read the card from a card reader.
if you can it is then either drivers or the cable
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
unfortunately i don't have a card reader. I'll give it a try tonight in my girlfriend's phone and with a usb cable and see how that works out.
it will definitely work with a card reader...this problem occurs when usb storage suddenly stops working as soon as usb is connected..i guess best way is to reinstall ROM if the problem persist.
Flashing firmware (global v62) got it working again )
