Connection Problems with Arc S - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
after I upgraded my CM10 FXP 146 to FXP151, my phone isn't recognized by the pc anymore, there is always the problem of "Unknown USB device". What can I do to fix this?
Thx a lot

Try doing a clean install of the rom (FXP151)
Sent from my Xperia Arc

The Problem is I can not connect to the phone anymore thus copying the zip-file is impossible...
And what do you mean with "A clean install"?

My phone isnt recognized by my computer anymore

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.

[Q] Cannot copy item (USB) SOLVED

SOLVED
My device is working properly until this moment that when I connect it to my pc, it only reads the storage,I can access both internal and external, view images and whatsoever, but when I try to copy a file into it. it says " The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" . I don't know what happened. I tried formatting/factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik, changed USB cable/port and I even flashed to stock rom. I reinstall the samsung drivers too but no luck. This happened after I flashed a custom rom (CM 12.1) but like I said, I flashed again to stock rom but nothing happened. I tried to plug in my Phone and it works properly.. any help?

Hi! I had this problem on my Tab S. No matter what I did it would say the same thing! So what I had to do was change my USB cable. Certain ones aren't as fast in which causes this error. Samsung stock cable or using a fast third party transfer cable solved my problem.
Another way is to disconnect my micro usb from my Tab S and stick it in my pc (since the micro SD came with an SD converter.) I would transfer my files over to my SD then disconnect it and stick it back in my Tab S. Those are my two solutions.

Hi, I figure it out now. I don't know what could be the exact problem but I tried to flash again CM12.1 and its gapps. USB problems are gone, its working normally now. Maybe you should try flashing a ROM too and see if it would fix the problem.
