Hey guys,
I tried getting some help for this over at the Nook Color threads because it all started *after* i rooted my NC, but no one's been able to explain to me what Ive done wrong or whats happened...
So here's the sitch.
o I have ADB installed, but it only activates in device manager when the nook is plugged in, not the G2
o When the NC get usb'd to the PC, it fully registers and gives me access to the SD card on it
o .... where as the G2 just sits there and says "yay im getting power!"
o ,,,, BUT if i plug it into a HUB rather than directly into a usb port on the mobo or front, the PC (win7 x64 ult) seems to see it but doesnt know how to properly assign a driver to it and gives it UNKNOWN
o also i checked the usb-adb ini file, and it lists all my other devices in the hardware cues BUT the G2, which means it hasnt properly registered since then or never had a proper profile to begin with in the PC. It even has my older mt3G listed which I havent plugged in since all this started.
Ive tried multiple driver types, but literately, NOTHING has worked. Its like the G2 isnt even properly registering in the computer when connected. I tried a factory reset, but still no luck. Is there anything beyond a soft fact reset for an unrooted phone? I mean, i need COLD AS STONE back to day 1 reset.
Please help, I really want to root this :'<
and no, the only way now to access my sd card is to turn the thing off and use a reader. Like i said, it literately is NOT seeing it :<
Wrong section. Ask in the Q&A, not the DEV section.
Try installing HTC Sync, even though it doesnt work with the G2 because its sense based, it will install the proper drivers for you. This worked for me.
Heres the link:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=804
Another method would be install pdanet on you phone fron the Market, then install pdanet for your computer from here and it should install the drivers when you plug your phone in with pdanet app running:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/
I tried the Sense link, but I couldnt find the download option for it.... anyways, heres a more precise description of the issue
When I go and install PDA Net, it loads up the drivers, but the computer literately is not even registering that a DEVICE has been plugged in via USB. I dont even get the USB connect prompt on the phone!
That's what Im saying, something is up. I need to take the cable with me and try this on another computer now that I think about it to rule out that something isnt damaged on the phone...
What ROM are you using? Gingerbread ROM's act like the (for now), at least from what I understand. I tried CM7 and sure enough - it acted just like what you're describing.

But thats the whole thing, im not using a ROM, its just the stock OS build. if i was using a ROM, id have tried removing it and reloading it, but this is on a phone that isnt even rooted yet... actually... should I try going temp root again and see if that fixes anything?
Whats the best way to do that now since I keep reading Vision got pulled away because it was damaging phones or something?
Okay, so i tried plugging it into a diff computer.... same result... so whatever it is, its the phone.
Any ideas XDA pplz?
Has it seen the g2 before? if so, get usbdeview, find the drivers in there that would be used for the g2, delete those. Snag PDANet and download that, plug the phone back in and see what ya get. You will get the pop ups again about the new software being loaded since it will have to find and reload drivers for the phone and PDANet will have the drivers you need.

Like the guy above me said, DL or re-DL the drivers (though none should be needed if you're using it as a storage drive, the comp sees it as a usb drive). Is it charging your phone when you plug it in? It's rare, but the USB cable may be bad.
The only other thing I can think of is that something went wrong and the phone isn't releasing the mount to the sdcard, in which case you should try rooting and using a different ROM or a stock rom and it should help.
Well thats the whole thing, the computer doesnt even see the USB part of it. Thats been my whole issue. The computer doesnt see the phone or the usb drive part. It straight does not see the phone at *all*! Doesnt even show up in Dev Manager, but yet it gets power. I even went and got a new micro USB cable, fresh, and still nothing.
im getting to 86 the os and reload Win7, im like super uber pissed over all this because i cant figure it out. I dont even know whats wrong >_<!
Just for kicks (because I had this exact thing happen to another phone of mine - the slide) you're rooted, which means you have clockwork right?
Reboot into recovery and go to the 'mounts' part and select 'mount usb'. Do that with it plugged into your computer and let me know if the phone shows up then. That's the only way I could put it in mass storage mode. I flashed something other than cyanogen's rom and BAM, it worked like it was supposed to (Linux did mount cyanogen though - weird).
If you want to go back to 0 day with your G2, search 'PC10img' and download it. DO NOT FLASH IT YET, you could really screw up your phone since you have s-off. Go to the wiki and scroll to the bottom, it tells you how to get s-on. Once you can verify that you have s-on, proceed to flashing the pc10img.
Wiki
Okay, so, Im way better now. Apparently I managed to get s-off and root ability via
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837315
when i reloaded and got rooting ability, somehow, I now have a detectable sd card again.
I dont know how, I dont know why, I just know that Im going to throw CM6.1.1 onto this thing and be rocking it hard
Thanks again for all your help guys, it was awesome to know XDA really helps out its followers
EDIT:
Okay... so now Im mixed. I have a rooted phone, with CM6.1.1, but still doesnt properly recognize when plugged into the PC.
oh well, I already called TMobile and their sending me a new phone under warranty. Its gotta just be a busted port in some way for detection. I dunno. >_<
But still, thanks a lot guys. Means a lot
Hello,
i've got a problem like the title says. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer via usb, i get the message the device wasnt recognized by the computer. i tried everything i know, another usbport. etc. i want to install a new radio, but without connecting to the computer it isnt possible, because i dont have the usb debugging active.
i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.
Are you using Windoze?
If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.
thanks for the quick answer.
i tried it, but it didnt help. where is this application data folder? do you mean on the computer? i found after uninstalling no more folders from htc.
and yes i use windows home premium 64bit.
got another idea? now it says also the device does not function properly. i hope that nothing on the device is broken.

yes he is talking about your computer... if in the "program files" you hasn´t anythink about HTC SYNC,, ALL IS OK...
but enssure that in the configuration panel-system-dispositive administrator you hasn´t any drive installed for your android device... if you have installed it, erase or uninstall it before re-install htc sync or the htc drivers....then you can re-install and reboot windoux...
and hey buddy!I recommend to you to consider to pass to linux, you will not have this type of mistakes... LOL
UBUNTU is great!
I'm afraid I don't know much about Windoze but memory serving appication data is a hidden folder so you will need to change it to view them and is in the Documents and Settings / [Your username] directory.
Device not function is just a default Windoze error when it can't install something, ignore it, your phone is fine.
If you have reinstalled HTC Sync, try a USB port on the opposite side of the PC. So if you trying ones next to each other on the front, try ones on the back (they use different headers on the motherboard).
If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I probably won't be of much more use, sorry.

thanks guys for your help, but although i followed your advices, except the one to switch to linux ;-), it hasnt got better yet. the problem is still exsisting and i dont know what else i can do.
anyone got an idea how to install radio without having usb debugging and the drivers from the computer?
Hi!
I've got the same problem with 2 different PCs, one with Win7 64-bit, the other with Win XP PRO.
Other devices work fine with the same USB ports, so i doubt it's windows or the PC...

you can´t flash any radio if your phone is not recognized
well.. Let's continue with the problem in question...
1.At some time could you have connected it?with the stock rom maybe?
2.have you tried to swich on mass storage usb mode?what´s the result?
3.when you tries to swich the phone for flash some radio you enables "usb debug"
and "only chargue"?
its a weird problem
Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.
1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

you´re welcome companion
i reded in a spanish forum ( www.htcmania.es ) about your problem and there´s people that had the same problem with a S.GALAXY S & desire HD...
someone was solved it fullwiping and formating (in the paragraph of mounts & storage into CWM) and flashing another ROM... then they formatted their sd card with a card reader OF THE PC... later they was formatted the sd card from the pc and the problem was disapeared successfully...
BUT if it persists i think that you should (mi suggestion) send your machine to the thecnical service....
ok, will try this today evening when i'm home. if this doesnt work i will reset it in the orginial state and send it to the technical support. i will leave a comment if i was successful, perhaps this will help others with the same problem.

I have an epic sitting at home that is useless as of right now because I no longer have a plan through sprint for it. I have a samsung replenish that I am using right now with Boost, and I am considering making it a donor phone and flashing the Epic over to Boost. Having this little thing really makes me realize just how awsome those Super AMOLED displays are. Anyway, I have a few questions before getting neck deep in this little endevour. First off, I don't want to be stuck on Eclair, but as I understand a Factory reset is necessary to get the 3G working, I read that people were abale to flash to Froyo using a few tricks, I was just wondering if the same works for Gingerbread. If anyone is running a Boost Epic on GB I would like to know how it is working out. Also, once the phone is flashed to said version of Android, can I just flash any rom on top of it through CMW without having to make tweaks?
And finally, I can not get either the Replenish or the Epic to read on CDMA Workshop, I have tried debug, non-debug, and diag modes and any combination, I have tried reading the phones in recovery mode, I have rebooted, restarted, unplugged, switched cables and ports....nothing...the phones both show up as modems and have their ports listed in device manager, but they absolutely refuse to show up, if anyone has any tricks that they could share regarding this issue it would be much oblidged
I know it's a lot but I figured I would try and cover all of my questions in one thread rather than making a bunch of seperate ones. BTW I have been researching for 2 days now, if there is something obvious that I missed, I apologize in advance, but I have tried other methods of resolution before creating this thread...Thanks in advance for any advice that you guys can offer...
We have a guide on here did you consult that? And I know that there is an alternative carrier fix for cm9 so you "could" get that puppy on android 4.0 =]. As for the computer not detecting... did you install the mobile drivers for the phones? I think you might need to if you haven't. I know when odining you need those I suppose the same for cdma workshop. Hope this helps at all =]. if you need the guide ill link it here.
Flashing Epic 4g to Boost Mobile Guide.
In this guide he is using the incognito but as long as you have a cdma phone to use as a donor phone you should be fine. If you havnet installed the drivers for either phones then this is most likely your issue. Also according to the guide you CAN flash other ROMs. The only thing that needs to be tweaked is the sms settings.
Yeah, I have looked at the guide, I was hoping to clarify on the few items that I wasn't clear on. I have installed the drivers for both phones and Odin does infact recognize each one, I use it to verify the Com ports that the phones are on...i'm baffled :/
After hours more of trying...and researching..I still can not get past the initial step of getting cdma to read my phones...either of them. Is there a section on this forum for requesting services? I dont care if I have to pay to get it done, I want my epic on boost...

I doubt it... but who knows. I dont see why they wont detect. They should if you have the drivers installed... maybe try just having one of the phones drivers installed at once... which ever phone you have to start off with have that phones drivers installed only. so unistall both then install just one that you need then unistall that one when the other one needs to be used... and you might want to reboot in between driver installations. drivers can be very picky. Or you could try another computer...
I'll give it a shot, its something new at least...I will post my results when I am done..

I know some having success doing this because they had their epic touch and epic 4g drivers installed once they unistalled both and just installed the epic 4g the computer would recognize it.
tried uninstalling all samsung mobile drivers and installing the drivers for each phone by themselves, still nothing...I am downloading a new set of drivers now, they are generic Samsung mobile drivers.I'm not expecting much but its all I got at this point...

HMM i know which samsung drivers work great for the epic but i think you need device specific drivers for the replenish.
32 and 64 bit Drivers I know the drivers here work great and i have used them with every epic i've rooted... I just learned that the drivers im linking you to work for the replenish .
awesome, I am trying them as we speak...
ah crap, those were the same drivers that I downloaded for the Replenish, still a no go...the fact that neither phone works would tell me its on the PC end, and drivers would be the number one suspect, but alas...they just aren't making a difference in my results..

Yeah you might need to try another computer. The usb ports could be bad/out on that one depending on how old it is. Or it could be the usb cable as well you'd be amazed at how much trouble is cause by those. Have you tried a brand new blackberry cable? those are the best cables at getting things recognized. What i dont get is that odin will COM the phone.... and this is in download mode right?
no, it coms both phones in debug mode, I have a few blackberry cables lying around that I have picked up on Amazon that I bought for Odin. Thats what kind of has me scratching my head too. It is an older laptop though, Id say about 4 years old, running windows 7 x64...I have checked QPCT as well just to see if it recognizes the phones and it doesnt either, so I guess it's some issue with my com port's compatibility with the mobile phone software....I will see if I can get away with doing this at work tomorrow, it may be tricky but my boss is old and senile lol
Well I tried it at work with no luck yet, which just leaves human error in to play...not sure what though, I've covered all of the options that I have come across. The replenish I could understand, but the Epic is documented to work just fine with CMDA WS...I just don't get it...
A couple things to try...
1. Connect the phone in normal mode (so it asks mass storage, etc) and let the drivers install.
2. Unplug, turn on USB debugging (Settings -> applictaions -> Development), plug the phone in and let it install ADB driver
3. With phone plugged in switch to dialer and hit ##8778#, then switch USB from PDA to Modem. Your PC should install another driver (Diag port).
Make sure you leave the Epic on this screen while accessing it via CDMAWS or any other program that uses the diag port.
I had major issues with the Epic, but that sequence finally got everything working. I still need to plug the phone in before enabling the diag port, otherwise stupid things happen.
This was all with an XP computer (three actually, before I figured out all the correct steps).
Thanks, I'll try that when I get home, I actually haven't tried putting it in diag mode while plugged in yet, I have always put it in diag and connected it...heres hoping..
ok, I finally got the replenish to connect, I found a way to root it and that worked like a charm....the epic however is still a no go...rooted running CWM 5, in diag mode, switched to modem, recognized as a modem....but still..failed...phone does not answer...any other suggestions guys?
Needs download mode not diag mode whatever that is... hold the 1 on the keyboard and the power button (yellow triangle) make sure is not in modem mode and you must flash the kernel from mkasick for ei22 search in xda "epic 4g gb kernel source" should me the first thread (ei22) kernel source with keyfix. Scroll to the bottom and find the gb3a.tar this is what you odin before cwm5 and it should stick. Then you can flash an su.zip and your done.

I was on EL30, which from my understanding worked as well. I flashed the gb3a and I am rooted with CWM and I installed SU, I just still can't get cdmaws to see the phone...I tried fix permissions, in CWM, not even sure what that does, but I tried it...i'm desperate lol. I have tried tether mode, switching ports, attempting while in recovery, and I get nadda....EL30 was what I had factory reset to, are you saying that I should flash back to ei22 for cdma or were you saying to do that to get it rooted?
No my appologies I, just read you rooted correctly. I'm not sure why it refuses to recognize the epic. Other than a better cable, or different usb port. I dunno. That or there is gunk in the epics usb port or in the computers. Should be in modem mode I'm assuming if your messing with the phoney. Stuff ='[ sorry.

Problem:
Cannot choose how to connect to PC(no usb options appear on the phone), the phone starts charging as soon as I plug it in.
Possible Cause:
I connected my phone to a USB port on a car stereo and my phone and the stereo kept flipping back and forth between screens. I disconnected the phone immediately, but the USB connected icon was still in my notification bar. I restarted the phone and everything seemed fine until I tried to plug my phone in 3 days ago.
Things I've Tried Already:
-Restarting the phone
-Pulling the battery
-Trying different USB Ports
-Trying different cables
-Trying different PCs
-Trying USB Debugging both on and off
-Trying fastboot on and off
-Trying an "auto-mount" app(Multi-Mount SD)
-Trying "USB Mass Storage" App for Jelly Bean
-Setting Disk Drive mode as default and turning the "Ask Me" option on and off
-Reflashing the ROM (followed these directions for flashing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731)
-Flashing the USB fix found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24198708&postcount=90
-Flashing a new ROM
-Searching for a solution(derp).

I was thinking about it, but this one has been working fine for months so It seems unlikely to me that that's the cause, especially when i haven't come across anyone running the same ROM with the same problem.
I'll still think about it, I dunno what ROM I'd switch to though. I liked CyanogenMod 7 but that one wouldn't run videos correctly for some reason :\

Yup. I just tried using USB Mass Storage app for JB, and that doesn't work either, although apparently the app does know that the USB is plugged in.
Most likely a port problem on your device. Go to a repair shop and see how much they charge

Try going to a fully stock state (S-ON, stock no root) and see if it helps. If not, definitely a port problem.

I found this one(the bottom one), but it says I have to be connected to a PC to get it to work. Also, I'm from America.
First flash a different rom see if the same issue happens in that rom. You can also boot into recovery and try mounting the sd card before flashing a ruu. You may also want to reinstall the drivers for your phone (the drivers on your pc).

I've reinstalled the drivers that come with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit multiple times. Do you think I should I uninstall them and use the stock drivers?

Yeah, sorry about that. I skimmed through the post. After submitting the reply I saw that you already tried a different rom. You could give that a shot, installing htc sync. Have you tried the sd card on a different phone, or connected directly to the computer or a different sd card on your phone? Besides this I'm out of ideas.

Yup, the SD card works on my old Samsung Rant. I'll try installing the stock drivers, thanks for trying to help.
Ahh Tei has joined the party
I'm still sticking with a port replacement, it's the last thing that's left (as far as I can think of)

OK. I think I've done my due diligence. I've scrubbed the forums for 2 days, I've googled it and I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Friend gives me this rooted LG OGP. Awsome! Works great! Then AT&T or LG sends an OTA update that bricks it :crying:. Read Aryan1312's sticky thread in this forum and get all pieces together. By now I have the 3.8.1 drivers AND the newest 3.10.1 drivers, LGFlashTool 1.8.1.1023, along with the newest 10P TOT file. I got the Flashtool to stop asking for PW and I think I'm ready to go.
But then . . . Plug my phone in and Device Management doesn't know what to do with phone. Reinstall drivers pack from LG website. Still no dice. Hmm. Phone is in Team Win Recovery Project v2.6.3.0 recovery screen (I guess that's what it's called) and computer doesn't know what to make of it. Hmm.
Maybe I can put it onto a microSD card and copy stuff over to phone? Maybe flash a different ROM through TWRP? Let's try that. I copy files over to the external SD card, put it into the phone, restart phone, hello TWRP, Advanced-File Manager option, WHY CAN'T YOU SEE THE EXTERNAL SDCARD??? Isn't it supposed to be there under /extSD?? It's time to ask for help.
Question: How do I get my Win7 PC to see the phone as a removable drive/external drive/whatever you call it so that I can get this info over?
I know that I have to change Port #'s after Win7 sees the phone. I just can't get there . . . yet.
- What I've tried:
Reinstalled drivers (both versions) and restarted between trying to plug phone in.
Tried installing phone drivers manually. Still doesn't mount as external HD as far as Win7 is concerned.
Called friend to ask his opinion. He doesn't remember and tries to tell me this is why Apple is "better".
Scoured the web to see what to do. Found articles about this same thing happening and all point to Stickied Post on this XDA forum
I did RTFM and am still lost.
---- Sorry for the long post, I just thought that people who wouldn't mind helping would appreciate the extra info.

1. Is the first pic with the phone connected to the pc?
2. If yes, have you tried to manually update drivers, while in device manager
3. I know that this is going to sound funny but have you tried a different USB port. The reason I ask is I had the same problem LG Optimus M and the phone was down for a couple of days. I tried everything and was about to call it quits but for some reason when I changed USB port the computer saw the phone and I was back in business. I am not saying that will 100% work but it is worth a try.

Yes I have. I think I did figure it out though. I put the device into "download mode" and my computer could see, and communicate, the phone.
To put my phone into "download mode" I did the following:
I connected the phone to the computer physically with USB cable
I turned phone off.
I pressed BOTH volume buttons and held the power button while phone was attached to computer.
With BOTH volume buttons still pressed, I released the power button.
The phone screen was black with a little dialog box in the middle saying "download mode"
I could then use LGFlash Tools to flash Stock AT&T TOT file back into phone. Took 519 seconds to complete the stock flash.
New problem arises, After flash, I do NOT have any 3G/4G signal. I can use the phone to make and receive phone calls and text messages, but I CANNOT use mobile internet unless I have it connected via wifi.
I installed the Debloated ROM and "tried" to flash 980 Baseband.zip but when I tried to install baseband, CWM gave me a permission error and said install failed. I haven't been able to use mobile internet since. Any help???
-- Again, sorry for the lengthy post. I figured that I might not be the only person who has gone through this. I see a lot of viewers to the thread so I think other people might be having same troubles as me.

It sound like you need to manually set the APN. Do a Search for your provider.. ie AT&T T-Mobile the setting is under Network/Tethering & Networks/ Mobile networks/ Access point name/ Hit Menu Button and New APN
You are the MAN / WOMAN!! Thanks for the help. That fixed it.
For posterity and to help another "noob" stuck in my case later (maybe months down the line)
This is what I've done up until now in plain text:
Used LGFlashtool to flash AT&T stock "10k" build
Went into Settings Icon>General>Developer Options>check off "USB Debugging"
Used "E980 Universal Root" from forums to gain Root access (verified with "Root Checker" from Playstore)
Used FreeGee to get TWRP recovery installed (rebooted into recovery with "QuickReboot" from Playstore).
Used TWRP recovery to install "E980 Baseband.zip" from forums
Factory Reset
Setup new phone and input APN settings (located in Settings Icon>Networks>Tethering & Networks>Mobile networks>Access point names>Menu button "New APN"/input carrier values/Menu button "Save")
Now that I know how to get back here, I'm going to scrap the stock ROM and try to do this whole process with a custom ROM. . . and another flash-a-holic is born. The learning journey continues.

That is what this forum is for.
I have been helped out a lot from the group and I just thought it was time to pay it back. It is good to hear that you got it up and running. But one last word of advise BACK UP, BACK UP, BACK UP, and when that is done, back up the back up to the computer.
