Problem connecting HTC Desire HD via USB cable

Hi All,
since some days i'm not able to get connection to my PC via USB cable. DHD does'nt even ask for sort of connection - all relative settings on the phone like USB debugg & ask for mod of USB conn are of course checked!
PC doesn't react on my DHD. Anyone did entcounter the same?
I'm workin on ARHD 2.15. Attempts with other ROMS was also not succesfull
Any advice will be highly appreciated!

Have you tried with another computer? If it doesn't work, you've got a usb brick. I remember I had that on my friends desire, but got it fixed using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691639
I don't know if this will work on the desire Hd though...

Thank-you Mate for your response.
Yes I checked it on other pcs and I was at least asked for sort of connection I intended to do. But sdcard wasn't mounted though. Also in fastboot mode loading bootloader usb is not active.
I will try to follow your tip.

got the same problem :/ any ideas??

Just try your card on another phone, or try another card from other phone to pinpoint the problem

[Q] cannot change connect to pc connection/connection default as charging

i had notice there is alot similar post to this problem but none really solved it. so i start this thread to make it more specific
1) once connected to pc, my wildfire automatically charge
2) no pop-up or option on the top to slide down to select either htc sync, mount as sd card, etc
3) tried reboot, mount unmount card, untick usd debugging, changed other rom, but still not working.
4) if connected to pc still automatically charging even if i change "default connection type" to disk drive, or usb tethering
5) i tick "ask me" so i can choose the connection type when connect to pc, but when connected to pc, nothing. just charging.
i'm rooted, using hg hybrid v3 (problem was there before i flash HG rom). it used to work before. i dont recalled when was the last time it start to behave like this. all this time i thought i set the connection default to charging, but when i want to transfer songs, only then i realised this problem. i m not sure which custom rom might cause this problem (if it does) because i had flash more than 10 roms

i have same problem with cm7

I haven't try to format my sd card. because when I connect without sd card, still no connect option. if my card is malfunction/the main problem, then my phone should work fine n show the connect option after I remove the card, right? (I do have connection option on the setting. what I meant no connection option is the pop up conection menu+connection option on the top bar. changing the connection on the setting change nothing)

I too have this prob but never questioned this as i never use htc sync. But if u really wanna use it try this i'm not sure it may work or not but mostly its due to driver problem:
1.Connect your device in htc sync mode.
2.Uninstall or Remove all drivers of htc and also htc sync.
3.Disconnect your device and Restart your pc.
4.Reinstall htc sync and connect your device in htc sync mode.
5.It'll install fresh drivers for your device and if asked to restart then do it else run htc sync.
If you are running vista or later try to run htc sync in administrator mode.
I'm not sure this method work but there's no problem on trying it. Reply your result after doin above steps

I also think the problem might related to my driver but I remember that when I first connect to my pc, there will be pop up menu, and my phone automatically recognized as "disk drive" (I m not install HTC driver yet. infact ,I install the driver after my phone connected to my pc through disk drive connection since the driver located on the SD card). nway, I"ll try your method and post the result later.

I just notice this might not work..the problem is I cannot change the connection. even if I did, it doesn't change the connection. it just charging.. as if I put it on default "charging" as it connect. but I will try later anyway

When i connect my phone the debugging icon shows up and my pc makes the noise but doesnt let me choose mass storage (running cm7). it shows up on my pc on drive f: but when i click it just says please insert a disc into removable storage F:

xynok, did u tried untick the usb debugging? go to setting, application, development, untick usb debugging. u still lucky at least it prompt u something if u connect to pc, mine nothing. its like I plug it to the socket wall not pc

not working..

try this if u r using sense roms . Also try this for AOSP roms, if there is an option(i dont know about AOSP).
Go to Settings/Applications/Manage applications/All/
Then search for "Connect to PC". Actually in stock roms that was an app by htc. But there must be something similar to that in AOSP roms. Then open that and select, "Force stop" , "Clear data", "Clear cache".
I dont know for sure if that solves the issue or not. But have a try.
And by seeing this thread, actually i got a doubt, "can we synchronise the htc sync in AOSP custom roms". Since AOSP is nothing but removing the HTC crap. Can someone confirm this .......

nope. still nothing. anyway since it had this problem, I had wipe my wildfire few times, n try different rom.. maybe it is because of faulty cable. but if the cable is the culprit, why it still charging? is it possible the cable is broken but still can charging?

Not telling that it should be, but definitely there is a possibility of a cable culprit.
The USB male/female end has 4 connections in which two connections are used for voltage and the remaining two connections are used for data transfer.
There might be a possibility that the data connection got broken with voltage connection retaining. Try with another cable (any USB v2 cable).
And one more thing, for having the disk drive option, nothing need to be installed in the pc. U need to install htc driver in the pc only if u want to use usb debugging , usb tethering.
[But at the wildfire end the cable has 5 connections and i dont know what the 5th one is for. mostly it will be a NO CONNECTION]

Now i got another idea to diagnose ur issue.
Well do u know of application "pdanet". It uses USB DEBUGGING feature to tether ur phone internet to PC. Actually usb debugging can be used both under charge mode and disk drive mode. What u can know on doing this is whether usb debugging through ur phone is working or not. U can diagnose the thing while checking with every app that uses usb debugging. So try it. Enable the usb debugging in phone first.
---Install pdanet desktop version and follow the setup instructions. It asks to connect ur phone during setup to install usb driver and also pdanet.apk to mobile. Connect ur phone with usb debugging enabled. I doubt whether desktop version installs or not because of ur issue. Mostly desktop version of pdanet will not install without a phone connected having usb debugging enabled. And if the desktop version is installed successfully, that means ur phone usb debugging is working. And if desktop version is installed successfully, that means it also installed the mobile version of pdanet.apk to ur phone (which says that data transfer is working). Then open the pdanet on phone and enable usb tether. Then open pdanet from desktop and connect. Then see whether u r able to access internet from pc.
---One more method is try to use ADB from android sdk. It also uses the usb debugging feature.
If adb and pdanet works, that means usb debugging feature on ur phone is working. If it is so, then it is mostly not a cable problem (as far as i know). And if they dont work there is a chance that it is a cable problem.
......................................................................................................................................................................................
And one more thing. If u have used a stock rom (freshly formatted), and faced the issue, then it is mostly not a software problem. Then it might be cable problem or some kind of problem in ur phone. Also check ur phone radio version. Thats all.

bharatgaddameedi, i cant install pdanet. it say android phone not detected. error =103. i think u were right. its hardware related problem but its look like not the cable. most probably its my wildfire usb jack. i test the cable with other mobile, its working (test it on nokia 5800). before i had this problem, sometime i use htc cable to transfer data for my 5800, and some time i used 5800 cable to transfer data for my wildfire. the difference between the two cable pin might damage my wildfire usb jack.. (u said htc cable got 5 pin, so i asume nokia got 4?)

So, pdanet not detecting the phone means usb debugging is also not working under charge mode. That should be phone hardware related problem like u have said about usb jack.
And No. All the micro USB version 2 cables will be the same. Its same for 5800 and wildfire. I use my previous 5233 cable to my wildfire even now.
The usb jack of wildfire may damage if u have used it in an improper way. Something like pressure on the cable when connected and so on...
So, its not something we can solve here. That should be given to service centre as far as i know

Can't be. I am using my N82's data cable for data transfers on my Wildfire from Day 1. The provided data cable is pretty much permanently attached to the wall charger.

I accept the fact that it might be hardware problem but there is one more thing I want to try. how about flashing stock rom from pc? flashing 2.1 is ok since it can be rooted again. I had flash stock rom but from the clockwork mod, not from pc, and the hboot is been remove for save flashing. I never try this before because all this time I thought that the problem was cause by custom rom, so I just need to find the right custom Rom.

How can u flash a stock Rom from pc when the usb is not functioning. RUU will not work.
Things get worse when basic things stop functioning.

and then...
moved this here hoping someone has has this issue hopefully you guys can help ill be up all night so feel free to resond whenever thanks guys

make sure your phone is disconnected from the computer and then try going into the settings and in the top section that is wireless and networks press more, then USB utilities, and press connect storage to PC and then plug your phone into the computer. had about the same problem and came across that.

You can also try going into your device settings on your pc (samsung/modem) and resetting the driver it seems to get "stuck" sometimes.

+1 to this... its the new way to connect

I put this on my sd card (by taking the card out of the phone) and putting it in a card reader. I flashed the file from the stock recovery and this gave me custom recovery. Then I restored my previous backup. I was having the same issue and FB21 has too many bugs. I went back to gingerbread but kept fb21 modem.

You can actually get MTP working quite simply...

either wrong drivers/not installed properly, usb port bad on phone, bad usb cable (unlikely)
most often drivers are the problem

I Think it is not a problems in the drivers because as i know if it is a problem regarding the drivers the PC must pop-up a notification saying unrecognized device, but in my situation there is nothing happened when i plug my phone to my PC the only thing that happened is that my Phone is charging.. my main purpose why i've wanted to connect my HTC to my PC is that i wanted to use the adb to downgrade and root my phone and also after that to change my rom.., do you have any suggestion to downgrade and root my HTC which i am not going to connect it to a PC ?.
Thanks in advanced men..

not a safe way to do it but if you feel like it you can try visionary. if the wrong drivers were installed then it may not pop up with anything, you can use certain applications to test if any drivers pop up (just google search)
otherwise try and clean out the usb port

Maybe you uninstalled the drivers? Have you checked it in windows hardware proporties?

actually i've installed it's drivers in my pc, and also my data cable is new.. i've tried it on lot of pc but still it can't be detected..

try to reinstall / update drivers from off site

i know silly question, but .. Did you try changing connection type on your phone ??

Just to confirm try using same cable & phone on some other PC, if it works there there's probably some crazy windows error on ur laptop which is next to impossible to fix, only solution is to format ur PC & install fresh windows. If you phone + cable does not work on other PC there probably something wrong with either, try using same cable on different phone & vice versa.
hope this helps

Mass storage problem

Hello,
I still have a problem with pc detecting. I make a picture from my bootloader screen.
I think this is not normal. How is yours?
But in recovery mode the mass storage visible.

That's because you have the usb cable hooked on .... take it off and repeat all precious steps. No such messages again

hmmm,it was not pluged in at that time.This happend when i pluged out.

Oke....and what if you enter the bootloader - hboot - recovery without a cable attached from the beginning. Could be bad timing while unplugging it

Everything as going well, exept PC dosent detect the device
Its any way to put data to the mass storage? If i can put a ROM and installing, i can use the phone without usb connection.

Nah i mean :
Enter the bootloader without a cable connected, hook the cable once you are in and flash the boot.img, unhook it again and enter the recovery and then connect the usb cable once again.....mount the sdcsrd and copy a rom.....install a new rom

Hello everybody. I have next problem: when I try to connect my HOX to computer in mass storage mode, nothing happens on the computer. However on the phone everything goes as it has to go. I have CM 10.2 RC1 installed. And I've noticed one thing: when I get into the fastboot menu and then connect the device to the computer, the phone gets freezed. When I disconnect the device, everything goes well again.

I am glad to tell you that the problem had solved! I did next acts: typed in the command line 'pnputils -e', so I could see all drivers I have installed and their 'oem*.inf' files. I had 4 HTC drivers, it was like they were in a conflict. Then I deleted each driver with such command: 'pnputils -f -d <oem file name>'. So after that, I plugged in the cable and the HOX was recognized by the computer! Please tell me if you had the same problem and it was solved by the method above!
