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.

The use of linux is good to understand better android OS you don´t believe?
you said it.... EVERYTHING WORKS
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.

hi mate, i also had the same problem, i connected my dhd to the back usb port of my pc and it was ok. and i also got this problem when i was using a non genuine htc usb cable.
weird!!! can it be possible?

I recently upgraded to one of the fb27 of caulkins rom. I could not get my mac to connect to it through usb.
I used android file transfer app, but it just wont see the device.
Anyone else stuck? Would like to move to ics.
I have the same problem. I haven't been able to figure it out yet though. It works fine on my windows partition, just not OSX. I'm not a fan of this new system, I prefer the the mount and unmount but it's not up to me.
Currently for a work around I use Wifi File Explorer Pro. It an awesome app. It works so well. Definitely recommend it for everyone. The only time I don't prefer it is when transferring a rom over cause it takes a little longer but it still works. There is a free version too. Give that a try. It really is a life saver.

thanks, it is so stupid that this is an issue. Tried to figure this out for an hour and there is nothing on the internet addressing this issue.
Personally I've just been using Kies Air, not the fastest, but it works very well.

I don't know if it will work for sure since i don't have a mac to test it on, but since it's not using MTP, but the old method, it should work
mass storage does work using Calks latest and OSX Lion. You have to turn off USB debugging first though.
Guys, I'm back again with another dumb question.
While running ICS 4.0.4 on my HTC One X, I was very happy that the phone was connecting to each computer as external USB storage.
Lately the phone received the JB update, which made the OS 4.1.1
Since then, when I connect the phone to Mac it requires Android File Transfer, which is simply POS from my point of view; totally impractical.
And when I connect the phone to Windows, it behaves like a camera but like Android File Transfer window, quite useless and file types are not being recognized properly, icons look different then what they actually are, etc...
What happened to the phone, anyone knows?
Android upgrade changes the previous nice connection type, I guess...
But is there any chance to go back to that type of connection while running JB?
Cheers.

I was hoping to read answers about a tool requiring root access or a tweak kind of way to change it...
Anyway, I'll see what Airdriod is as you've recommended.
you can still use your phone as mass storage. you just need to update your htc sync manager and enable usb debugging in your phone.

Thanks. May I ask for more details?
I'd of course try what you suggest before asking you back if I had the chance however, I'm not in a position to do it right now, sorry for bothering...
Am I correct to assume that the solution you're suggesting is affecting only the workstation on which there is HTC Sync Mgr is possibly installed?
I mean, is this going to change the behavior of the phone permanently or is it going to solve the issue between the phone and the particular computer?
I'm using the phone as external storage to transfer files between computers, on which I'm not workstation administrator, therefore I have no chance to install HTC apps on the computers I'm referring to.
Damn, Android is getting easier and better but how about this?
Do you happen to know the reason for Google to change this?

I think you should blame htc not google because on non sense rom storage have not changed.
and it's my problem too. mass storage on sense jb rom would be very better.

This thread makes me think we need a dedicated Ubuntu section, I have a feeling this is the first of many many Ubuntu questions. Anybody agree? Is that even possible?
OP can you not download it straight to the phone instead of using the computer? Is there not any file manager apps yet or something?

we need a ubunto section for sure
i dont see any file manager apps on ubuntu. it doesnt even have a market place.
i was assuming my phone will automatically connect to my computer so i can drag files into it. ubuntu didnt do that and the phone isnt listed under "my computer"
im just going to get the stock images from google's website and install it using the galaxy toolkit.

you dont need a toolkit. you need to make sure fastboot works on your computer and verify you have fastboot drivers installed.
the google img flash will work just fine, as long as your drivers are proper and you have fastboot

U should of read before flashing this. Ubuntu os is NOT!!! a daily driven rom. But just like any other rom you flash u should of backed up and paid attention to what u where doing. Sorry to hear what happens to u but it is what it is.

ok so heres what happened. forgot my phone was rooted. i tried tmobile ota update. kicked me out into twrp. i messed aroun and bascily now i have no os or anything. i accidentally formatted everything in the phone. its the white 32gb tmobile version if that matters. to make things worse, i use ubuntu 14.04 LTS. no windows. cant even figure out how to get windows on the pc. and no i cant go buy it. noodle budget. i also messed with the fat32 thing and it said unable to make fat32 partition. basicly. its screwed. i need to know what to do about this. i have the lg flash tool, the original .dll and .tot ready to go. but theres the linux thing. everytime i try to connect it to the computer in download mode it said could not mount adroid device or something like that, now it wont even come on for me. i dont know what to do about this. no i couldnt get adb sideload to start, i couldnt mount in download mode, i could get adb to recognise the device but thats about it. i pushed a couple roms to it but nadda. after installing succesfully it just went right back to twrp. i need a video or something that i can slightly understand on how to fix this.
Your best bet is to set up a virtual box and virtualize it. I guess in twrp if you can still get access to it. Is to wipe system and all that fun stuff so it can reformat it to ext4 then try to adb sideload the rom that matches the update as close as possible. The only thing I can think of is that the update messed up partitions so when you flash a rom it can't all fit like it used too.
Sorry if I didnt help I'm just trying my method I had to do when I had my g2
