- I think I found a fix and it was quite easy to be honest. All I did was reinstall HTC SYNC and my computer is recognizing my phone now. Only thing is, i'm pretty sure if you want to use adb you had to uninstall this.
- Another solution is to update the RADIO on your phone to the newest version. (CREDIT GOES TO HAZAKINS FOR FINDING THIS)
I successfully rooted 2.2 today with the new guide. The first rom I flashed was RevE and noticed that when I plugged in my usb, to my computer, the notification bar would show up with the option of mounting or charging and then disappear after a second. Not only that, the phone didn't charge at all while connected and the notification bar was clear and didn't tell me whether I was charging only, ect even though it usually does.
The only way I am able to access my SD card is strictly through recovery now by mounting the usb. Other than that, there is no other way for me to access my SD card. Let me be clear that YES I have tried more than one USB port and usb cable but still there has been no luck. Let me also add that it was working fine before rooting.
Also, I just flashed to CM R2 successfully and the same issue still exists. I'm not really sure what else to do.
One interesting thing, if this means anything, that I found, was that I saw the My HTC drivers in device manager only when I accessed my SD card through recovery, it never appeared when I tried to connect my phone to my computer outside of recovery.
So, I'm not really sure what else to do. I have rebooted both my phone and my computer and I am really leaning towards the fact that it may have to do with the My HTC drivers. The thing is though, add or remove programs doesn't show My HTC when my phone is connected to the homescreen. But, I did manage to uninstall it while in recovery mode and as soon as I went back to the homescreen the driver installed so fast that I couldn't stop it from installing.
So, I have no idea what to do
I just confirmed that I am not the only one with this issue in IRC. We both narrowed it down to the driver being the issue. I'm not sure how exactly I can delete it though because it only shows up for an instant and then disappears. It isn't even in add or remove programs.
When you connect your phone, try toggling the USB Debugging off and then back on. I had similar problem (not exactly the same) and this is what worked for me.

I actually had this exact same problem... all the way up until I tried a different usb port... so I guess I got lucky.
But the one port was working fine up until I put the new ROM on it. Then it stopped working. Then I had to use a different port. I was able to do that... But now after phone reboot and PC reboot, 1st usb port works fine.
I hope it starts working for you.
I did same thing having same problem, I even downloaded another rom with rom manager and installed it, still same problem. When I plug in my USB cord it will pop up for a second on the phone to ask my charge or drive the goes away before i can do anything.

basically sums up my issue.
OK Here is the fix, buy a mini sdcard reader copy the pc36img file to your sdcard using this reader, install back in phone boot into recovery and let it update, then startover root process, this worked for me, I haven't update to 2.2 yet, but I got usb back

My fix was to get rid of the extension USB cable extender I was using. Apparently the signal degrades too much across it. I tried 3 different extender cables too.

I had the same issue. Using Unrevoked states to uninstall the HTC sync drivers. Just reinstall them and it should charge your phone. That worked for me...

I did that, twice, and the same issue is occurring.
Also having the same problem after the 2.2 down grade.
Same problem
I can't mount my SDcard either. I followed the new video tutorial to get root on phones that came with 2.2. I think something went wrong when i got that out of memory write error. I have tried two different computers and all their usb spots. I have not been able to mount sd card yet. It does charge however. Any ideas as what to do?? Oddly enough i was able to get Amon-ra recovery flashed so doesn't that mean i have full root??
Seems like a good amount of people are having this issue. If someone comes across a fix please share!!!
Try uninstalling My HTC and HTC Installer Drivers (I forgot the exact name) and then reinstalling HTC SYNC.
Got mine to work
on some other forum someone tried flashing the radios to the newest version and fixed the problem. I tried this as well and came back here to let you guys know that it worked for me also.
here is a link to the radio files.

Easy fix: Uninstall the HTC software, then reinstall it.
This should reinstall the driver for your EVO.
the HTC software uninstall and reinstall didnt work for me. Wish it would have.

Mine was working until I booted into recovery. Drivers got installed automatically and now I can't connect my phone to my PC again : /
UPDATE:
I'm thinking I could download rom manager and use it to install the stock rom... but given the trouble that I had with flashing roms before:
(My phone had a working version of Axiom 2.4 on it. I decided to try to flash a few new roms (gummy, liquid, codename android) and all had the same issue, they would boot, go to the upgrading android screen, finish that and go straight to the homescreen without the "welcome to android/activating" screens, then freeze after 10 seconds requiring a battery pull. Sorta led to this mess)
I'm not sure its a good idea.
Any thoughts? I really just need to get rid of the lock on the splash screen.
I'm considering just letting it sit till an ota comes out and either A: relocks the phone so I'll return it, or B: effs it so badly I can return it.
Drop box + 4G can be an annoying workaround for usb functionality.
Having some trouble with the GNex.
I was stuck in recovery, now I have it booting with minimal apps in my nand of a stock rooted rom. (Minimal apps as in I have none of the system apps I uninstalled nor any user installed apps. Luckily I do have the android market)
However my underlying issue with the USB remains.
I am unable to connect it to a computer and have it recognized, whether the phone is booted (trying to mtp or whatever so I can see the files) or in adb or fastboot. The same error 43 comes across on both of my computers. The phone DOES charge via usb.
I'd like to return it to VZW claiming a broken usb, but the phone is still unlocked, and it shows the unlocked icon with the google splash screen. Is there anyway I can relock the thing and return it, or alternatively does anyone have any ideas on getting the usb working? I've tried both the pdanet method of drivers and the ones from the samsung site to no avail.
Thanks in advance!
You could try reinstalling the USB drivers. I'd suggest downloading pdanet on your computer and run the wizard.
Edit: I should have read your last paragraph. Sorry :/

Didn't seem to work but thanks for the tip!
I've literally tried every method on the internet to root the GSM Galaxy Nexus and I keep getting stuck at the very beginning: I can't get past the driver step and making sure the computer recognizes the phone as an ADB device. I've tried Samsung driver install, pdaNET drivers and just about any other method and I still can't get my computer to show that the device is a ADB device and therefore cannot root the phone.
Its a Play Store Galaxy Nexus running 4.0.4
all help is incredibly appreciated. I've been working on this problem since Friday.
I'm on a 64bit Windows 7 on a Dell XPS 15 computer

If your Command Prompt displays the message "waiting for device" your driver wasn't successfully installed.
Close the Command Prompt window and open Device manager while your phone is still plugged in. (Search for it using the search option).
Right Click the "Android" option and select Update Driver. Choose to "Browse My Computer" and "Let Me Pick From A List." Pick the Samsung driver with the newest date and install it. Now retry the code above.

Try this.
I've tried updating via device manager. The problem is, it always says its up to date or when I manually select one it still doesn't work. Should I just not pick the newest driver? Pick an older version when selecting a new driver?
EDIT: also, another issue is that with Wug's when it searches for the adb device is searches in an odd folder that doesn't exist and I can't figure out how to change where it looks

Or download the GNex Toolkit. Was having driver issues as well today (they were installed but for some strange reason Windows didn't recognize it anymore) and used the ones that come with this toolkit to reinstall through device manager. Of course as always with these things, use at your own risk, fiddling with drivers can be tricky .
What are you getting from your adb devices command? I had a problem with mine showing as consistantly offline. I had to change from a frontal USB port (usually a bad idea anyway) to a rear port. Some device/computer combinations make adb unhappy when using a USB hub, which most frontal USB ports essentially are.

When I use WugFresh and check for ADB it checks a nonexistent directory and returns an error. I found another method on google (I think the webpage was Foolproof method or something) and I check through command prompt and when I do it says List of Devices: then a blank line underneath
EDIT: just installed the GNex toolkit and drivers, plugged in, adb devices and it returned the blank line
EDIT 2.0: I just witnessed the most beautiful thing in the world. I plugged in again and it miraculously worked. I think I might tear up and cry a little
Yeah, for some reason the USB Driver in the Android SDK does NOT work. This was incredibly frustrating when I was trying to unlock my phone originally. I spent probably 30 minutes googling and trying different driver downloads.
I have attached the ones I used that DO work.
So here is the new story:
unlocked bootloader but it did not factory reset. It rebooted and my phone is as it was.
When I went to do fastboot boot boot.gsm.img, It says boot.img downloads and then it takes me to the google logo screen and gets stuck

I've never rooted an already installed ROM for the Galaxy Nexus, but might I ask why you're not just installing a pre-rooted ROM from recovery? It'll save you a lot of headaches for sure. Even if you're not into custom builds, there's plenty of AOSP pre-rooted builds out there

I don't think the pre-rooted ROMs get OTAs, or do they? I've been trying to root on stock so I can still get OTAs and I like how stable it is. I've messed with other ROMs on other phones and I almost always go to stock or CM but I'd rather stick to stock on this for now
Okay I can understand that. However do realize that once you install an OTA, your root will probably be gone and you'll have to root manually once more ...
i actually delete any driver and use the pdanet works just fine, i had the same problem that you. is just mather of patience.

Yea re-rooting is fine. I really only need root for a few days to get my phone set up but K really don't need root privileges in everyday use so losing root once I've done what I need is ok

Man.. as easy as this:
Go to bixie's jb rom thread, he has there linked a supersu+busybox cwm flashable zip, dl that and copy it to the device. Dl also a non-touch cwm image.
Unlock your bootloader, bla bla follow guides on how to set up/use fastboot, BOOT cwm (not flash it) with 'fastboot boot cwm.img', flash that supersu zip, reboot. Done, you rooted jb, install voodoo root keeper or something, back up root. Thats one way how to root a Nexus. You can even relock your bootloader after you finished customizing.

I experienced a similar issue, it may have to do with the fact that I didn't wipe cache partition and wiped dalvik cache when installing zip from sd card etc... I don't know what caused it, but nothing I could do (including re-installing drivers a couple of times from KIES and tying it on a different laptop etc.) would fix it until I did a wipe data/factory reset by mistake! (instead of wiping catche partition) ;<( and that seemed to do the job!
Perhaps you may want to try doing a "wipe catche partition" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache" from CWM before tying to go ahead a do a "wipe data/factory reset"?

have the same problem
I did have that 'hardware ID missing' error suddenly after i was connecting my phone to my laptop just fine. my desktop has no problem. i did a few things that seemed to have fixed it or steps for a solution. I downloaded the TMO Samsung drivers. if you already have it installed, try uninstalling it. If that doesn't work, toggle USB debugging in between connecting and disconnecting from the computer. Other times, toggling USB debugging wouldn't work, so i toggled in between MTP and PTP. i play with a few times til it work. hope that helps. i can't post the link the the drivers yet, but get it from samsung's website.
i'm on gsm r6 and trinity kernel
Since I've gotten the phone I've had to keis air everything. Hardware I'd missing error on every PC/laptop I owned.
Up until yesterday. Plugged it in and keis opened. Connection troubleshooting joppy. It redownloaded and installed drivers. Like if always has...but this time it actually worked and so does my mtp now.
I wonder if its ROM related. Before I was using stock with the problem. The aokp unofficial r6 with the problem.
But now I'm running the official aokp jellybean release and it works.

From my experiences it only ever occurs when Kies is running, even in the background, while usb debugging is enabled. If kies isnt running then its all good.
I ran into this using CM9; seems to me that Samsung is using MTP protocol's now instead of USB. I just use Driod Explorer with debugging and I can move files without any issues.
If you are wanting to just transfer files to/from computer try SwiFTP. I love this little program.

From talking to Samsung Advanced Technical Help, I learned that, although it is never mentioned on any site or any literature, if you have
Samsung Studio 3 and/or Samsung New Studio and the USB drivers, uninstall ALL. I use Revo Uninstaller. Then reinstall the USB drivers from Samsung site. Make sure WiFi and Bluetooth are turned off,on the phone, and connect the phone. Should work.
Hi all,
Got my new S III on Jan. 1. Love it. Gave me an opportunity to use my old Cappy to experiment with. Flashed a couple of ROMS already and really love it. OK..so here's the problem. The only thing I have done with the S III is root it using the QCOM Toolkit. When I downloaded the drivers and plugged in phone it said that if a device number was showing that all drivers had installed. Don't really know if the MTP driver loaded at that time or not...but the device number was there and I proceeded to root the phone. Now when I try to connect to PC I get the dreaded MTP driver failed error message. Did a TON of research on this and tried EVERYTHING...still no joy. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium and even tried using my XP Pro machine...still no joy. Would love to flash a ROM on the new S III but no way to copy to SD card without PC connection.
Phone is A T&T SGH-1747 4.04 Version.
OK to reduce the number of "have you tried's" I have: tried various cables, uninstall reinstall Kies..Kies driver repair, uninstalled/reinstalled all Samsung drivers. Tried the MTP/PTP toggle idea. Plugged in with USB debugging ON and OFF. Sooooo tired of getting the MTP USB Device Driver failed message!!!
Any new ideas out there?
