I'm running cyanogenmod 7 on my evo 4g and when I plug it into a computer it only charges and never prompts me if I want to connect as a disk drive. It used to but now it just stopped. I had a backup of my rom so I put it on my girlfriends evo and hers still connected to the pc like normal but mine will not give me the option to hook up through USB. My computer says unknown device. Any help would be great. I can provide more info if you need.
More info. It gives me code 43 in windows 7. I was able to hook it up in xp but when I tried doing anything it no longer was able to detect the phone. I did a factory reset and it still doesn't work. I'm at a complete loss. I feel the only thing left to do is revert completely back to stock losing root and starting from scratch.
perhaps try completely uninstalling the device from windows in Device Manager. Then plug it in again and let it re-install the drivers

I've tried that on two different computers with windows 7. My gfs fone reads fine with the exact same rom but mine wont.
It seems like the drivers on the phone are corrupted or something. At one point I found a forum that suggested to turn off bluetooth and a few other things. I decided to see if turning off my wifi would do anything and finally my phone showed the usb debugging notification and the mount as usb notification but it wouldn't mount so I restarted my phone and now it's back to doing nothing but charge the phone.
The only difference between the two phones is the rom then? Perhaps make a backup and flash a different rom or re-flash your current rom to see if that helps

I actually took a backup of my rom and put it on my gfs phone and hers worked. we had the exact same rom. I will try installing a different rom however and i'll let you know what happens.
Okay so I had a back up of sinister rom so I restored it and now it asks me if I want to connect as a usb device and so I do and my computer still says usb device not recognized or whatever.
Wow so I tried a backup of sinister rom that I had and suddenly it asked if i wanted to connect as a disk drive but windows was still saying usb device not recognized. I reverted all the way back to stock losing root privileges and it still doesn't work. It appears to me that it is a hardware problem. I don't know what else to do.
ok, so I hooked my phone up to a computer with ubuntu on it and my phone showed up but then when I went to explore the sd card it said permission denied. Then I hooked it up in windows 7 and it showed unknown device under universal serial bus controllers(as usual) but it also had it under modem, which is what I want.
Okay, got it working on this computer. After plugging the phone in several times it still said device not recognized. I have also been pushing ##data# and it was saying the same thing. I decided to shut my phone off one last time and when I hooked it up i pushed ##diag# and now it works. ****ing stupid. Glad it's working now.
UPDATE: Now all of the drivers install when I plug the phone in except the HTC DIAG doesn't appear even when i enter diag mode on the phone. this is the only driver i need installed but i can't install it because the computer isn't picking up that part of the device....This is getting irritating.
Turns out my port is ****ed up. I'm gonna have to order a new one and replace it.
Good day,
I'm having problem with my DHD unable to be recognized in my Win 7 PC. I have already install HTC Sync and also tick on "Ask Me" for Connect To PC setting. I'm running on stock 3.13.707.4 ROM with S-ON and unrooted. Even restart to Fastboot my PC still unable to recognized my DHD.
From Googling it shows many Desire having USB-Brick problem, does this problem also applied to DHD? Is it my phone is hit by USB-Brick? Any guide to solve this problem? I've tried flashing older ROM via Bootloader and PD98IMG.zip but it won't allow saying something like the ROM is older version.
I just bought this used phone for about a week so I'm still not sure on how to solved this problem. any helps is much appreciated.
are you using the original cord that came with the phone? just any old usb cable won't work
also you can't flash a new rom without rooting and gaining S-OFF, you're unrooted and S-ON, that's why you get the "version is older" message

I bought the phone and it came with 1 cord (with HTC label) that can be connected to the charger, I guess there are only 1 cord for charging and connect to PC? This is the cord that I use. In addition to that I have also tried Motorola, Sony Ericsson (both also for Android phone) and Nokia cord but all can't.
The ROM is actually older version stock ROM from RUU.exe. I saw from few Desire thread they were using this method to restore the ROM to before the USB Brick condition so I thought to try it.
BUMP!
Anyone know what should I do to resolve this problem?
Are you running the very latest HTC Sync on your PC? I'm using 3.0.5606. You can get it here: http://www.htc.com/www/help/
Also, connect your phone and go into Device Manager on your PC. Check to see if you have an entry for Android USB Devices and that the phone shows up. See attached screenshot for how mine looks. This is the best place to check to see if your PC has installed the drivers correctly.
In answer to your question about the cable, yes it's the same cable that attaches to the PC or to the mains charger. I've sometimes had connection problems caused by a dodgy cable, but I've used others apart from the HTC one without issues.
Edit: Also, when you install HTC Sync it should warn you to disable Antivirus software during the installation. This can be really important! I ignored it the first time around, thinking it was just a silly precaution, and had loads of problems with the phone not being recognised. Had to uninstall, temporarily disable AV, and re-install HTC Sync. Once it has finished installing, you can turn your AV back on.
Thank you for your reply preacher6.
Yes, I'm using the latest HTC Sync, v3.0.5606, just downloaded yesterday and reinstall everything.
When my phone connected to the PC it didn't appear as Android USB Device on my Device Manager, it only appear as Unknown Device in USB Controller:
So I guess I can rule out the cable as I have tried about 4 cables already.
For the installation part, I have disable the anti virus and also running the setup program as administrator. When installing there is no problem whatsoever that crop out.
Another point is, even on Fastboot it appear as Unknown Device in the PC.
I would try to update the driver manually - right click on the Unknown device, go to "install driver" or "update driver", then browse to the "Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver" folder. See if it picks up and installs the correct driver.
I've tried manually update the driver as per your advise but it says there is no compatible driver in that folder even though androidusb.inf is in that folder.
I'm running Win 7 64bit. does the driver also work for 64bit OS?
Should do, yes, I'm on Win7 64 bit myself. There is this folder on my PC:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64
Is the unknown device present when the phone isn't connected? Just to make sure that is actually the phone - if it's still there when the phone isn't connected, it's some other device.
Otherwise try uninstalling the unknown device and then rebooting the PC, then forcing the installation of the drivers again.
The folder is same as yours.
The unknown device does not present when my DHD is not connected, so I'm certain it is the phone that appear as unknown device.
I have tried uninstalling the unknown device > reboot PC > installing the driver but it still won't install.
Another thing is, I check on the Device Manager > Unknown Device properties > Details" for it's Hardware Ids and it shows as USB\UNKNOWN. I think it should show a strings of the device id? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Yep, there should be a proper device ID string, on charge mode mine shows a hardware ID of USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0CA2&REV_0226&MI_01.
At this point the best thing I can suggest is to try on another PC. If it works, your drivers are screwed up and you'll need to strip them and reinstall. But if it doesn't work on another PC, it's possible you have a hardware problem with the phone.

I need help too (HTC Desire Z device)
Is it hardware problem? (I already purchased new system board).
For me it looks like hardware problem, because device does not accept bus address, do not show USB strings/VID/PID (Tried different cables/PCs/OSes (I have OpenSUSE linux, but phone does not connect to usb on any PC, Windows PCs even do not understand that something plugged in)).
No problems with USB-connector (checked resistance), but I do not see pull-down resistance with my tester.
But all other functions work well.
UPD. Tried to connect from FASBOOT/HBOOT/Android - the same result, device does not accept bus adress. Additionally it charges without problems, but when I connect phone to USB no pop-up/information at top bar appears.

Sorry, it looks like I explained my question wrong (I'm Russian, and English do not native to me). Let me try reformulate:
You said "Yes. Holla if you still need help" so I believe that you were able to fix "Device not recognized" problem. So I'm asking - how did you do it? Did problem was hardware or software?
For me (look at symptoms at my previous message) it looks like dead USB controller in phone. But maybe it very strange software problem (USB-controller firmware damaged)?
Did I explain it clear now?
Install the SDK on PC and update all android versions.
Well guys it was just my PC, i made a system backup for four days and that was all the problem(the USB port of my PC)

After installing and updating SDK...go into platform folder and open it. Hold mouse in field and hold shift and right click mouse. Chose "open cmd here"..that will open a cmd prompt window. In regular mode on phone,type "adb devices" should return numbers (ex: hta3829g)..if in bootloader mode,type "fastboot devices" should return numbers.
This SDK helps PC see your phone when its plugged in. Especially handy when a PC won't install drivers for your phone

Hi All, I've got a USB connection problem with my Galaxy Nexus. When I connect it to a computer, it will start charging, but doesn't show that it's connected to a computer and the computer doesn't show that a device is connected. I've tried on a few different Windows machines and don't get any change in the device manager. There is no "unknown device" nor device with an error. I've been searching the Internet and this forum, but still can't find the problem after a couple of days. Here's some details and things I've done:
I did not install the "force fast charge" kernel mod.
I've tried a couple different cables and verified that the cables worked with my wife's Galaxy II.
I've tried several different computers.
I've tried MTP and PTP storage options.
I rebooted everything several times.
I drank heavily.
I tried a factory reset.
I updated Windows Media Player to get the latest MTP software.
I installed drivers packages even though it never gets to the point of installing drivers.
Does anyone have any other ideas before I smash this thing with a hammer?
Does anyone have any ideas? At this point, I'm thinking there is a hardware problem.
Go into Menu -> System Settings -> Developer Options -> Turn on USB Debugging.
Not a guarantee, but something to rule out.
I've got USB Debuging on. Thanks for the reply.
Can anyone help? I'm having the same exact problem. My phone charge but is not detected by my computer. I am having this problem right after flashing AOKP ROM B35. This is very important, one mistake and my phone will be bricked as a computer to phone is so important !! There is nothing detected at all under device manager. Tried it on several laptop to make sure it isn't just my computer.
someone?
Uninstall the drivers you have for the s2. Reboot and install the official drivers for the galaxy nexus. Reboot. Then try.
If that doesn't work... let the phone load a while and just keep trying other ports on the computer. I saw this with my other gnex that it would take a while to realize a USB to be connected. Also make sure the USB is in completely... don't jam it in but make sure you know its All the way in. ( no pun intended) What's funny is my gnex will detect it instantly... but the other one takes a few tries.

Thank you dude. It doesn't work. Prior to installing this rom, my nexus is detected instantly. There is something wrong with the process i root or something. Now i can't do anything as It is not detected by my computer. Someone please help.
Indeed is the rom that is causing the problem. I opened NEXUS toolkit and rebooted my phone into boot image. It will sense it and i can operate from there. I've restored to factory and now my phone is being detected. I hope the thread starter gained something out of it too
hey guys.
just got a SGS3 for the wife and one for myself, coming from a long time with HTC Evos.
i'm having an embarassing situation...I don't see how to transfer files from or to the phone. I plug it in via usb, drivers installed automatically, computer told me the device was ready to be used...and nothing else. nothing popped up on the phone, nothing on my computer. the phones came with no software and Samsung's website does not list any drivers or software to download...
the phones are stock for now until I get a chance to root them this week or next weekend. in the meantime, what is the way a normal user is supposed to transfer files to/from this phone?!
I'm on Windows 7 on both the laptop and the PC, both have the same situation. with both phones...both fully stock but also updated with the latest software.
thanks for the help!

Weird...
it should pop up as a media device.
Plug it in and pull down the notification bar and touch where it says "touch for other USB options"
and make sure Media Device (MTP) is checked.
if it doesn pop up then either the drivers arent installed, or their not installed correctly.
or the cable is bad, or the USB port is bad.
or the devil is messing with you

make sure you have automatic updating on in windows, at least for the drivers. this is why i hate MTP, its such a pain in the ass. i sure hope someone gets mass storage mode goin in these soon. Make sure theres no unknown devices listed in the devices manager. then grab and install the drivers from here(although you shouldnt need them for mtp to work) http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SPH-L710MBBSPR#
downloading now...when I plug it in, the cell phone makes a little noise. but no prompts come up under my notifications.
on the PC I found it the phone shows up under Devices & Printers, but there is no way to interact with it other than to see it's drivers and that they all apparently are up to date and functioning correctly...
ahhhhhh

Does it show as a plain looking generic box or does it look like an MP3 player in devices and printers?
Generic box under an "Unspecified" category. Even after reinstalling the drivers...same situation. I can't double click to open the phone and there is no prompt on my phone.

This is crazy. I curse Samsung for this mtp ****t I swear. Under portable devices. Device name should be SPH-L710--thats what ur looking for. Will probly also be listed under modems as Samsung mobile usb modem. And in the usb devices as Samsung mobile usb composite device.another thought If you didn't already, turn on usb debugging and let it install those drivers as well. Has helped me in the past. Maybe even switchin it to download mode just so windows can see it in all modes and maybe wake the hell up.
i had usb debugging on originally, turned it off. no difference.
I went and bought a new memory card reader that supports SDXC cards, so now I can at least remove my memory card and transfer files...but still doesn't help me. I want to use that extra internal space I didn't have on my Evo 3D to add more music still to my phone...so I need to connect it to the PC somehow!

it blows my mind that its not working. what version of win 7 do you have? x86 or x64?
we have a laptop and a desktop, both running Windows 7 x64. we also have two of those Galaxy S3 phones. I'm running Go Launcher, my wife using the stock Wiz launcher. I have tried in different USB ports in both laptop and desktop, using different usb cables, and with both phones. with and without adb debugging enabled. same situation.
the phone shows up as a modem under device manager. under SAMSUNG Android Phone there is only SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface listed, nothing specific to this phone. I have tried changing the drivers around to different built-in samsung drivers and drivers from when I had the Galaxy Tab, nothing. I downloaded the latest drivers as they were linked above, nothing.
there are no pop-ups on either phone and nothing on the computer beyond the noise of something being plugged in...
w.t.f.
OK. Don't think its the issue but have run into this before with a Samsung phone or two. Reboot the computer and hold down f8 as its booting. When the advance menu comes up, hit *disable driver signature enforcement*. Like I said I don't think that's it but that has caused problems for me before (thanks microsoft) on x64 bit windows and a Samsung android phone so might as well rule it out.
O yeah, and just to make sure, you dont have kies installed right?
I do have Kies installed. someone now suggested I try using it to connect my phone. I open Kies, connect my phone, it says Connecting...and never goes anywhere. I did the connection troubleshooting thing, it took a while, said it was complete, plugged the phone back in, same situation.
jeez this is really stupid.
i disabled the driver enforcement option. nothing.
I rooted the phone now. installed that easy UMS apk and set the phone to MTP mode. now I have a Samsung MTP device on my device manager but none of the drivers work with it. windows couldn't find a driver, and i've tried 6 drivers manually and they all say they can't start the device.
anything else I can do now that i'm rooted?

kies is the devil
its actually the opposite. You DO NOT want it installed. Uninstall kies completely. Idk how I forgot about mentioning kies.nothing but problems. Nix it and I bet this headache ends. And if u take that advice, have the phone unpluged during then removal . I would also recommend reinstalling the Samsung drivers I linked to yesterday. Then plug the phone in and I would bet smooth sail in from there
will try. now the phone shows up the "connected as media device" notice when I plug it in, and the PC sees it as an MTP device...but still not letting me use it. lets hope uninstalling KIES helps.

Sounds like progress. I think uninstling kies will do the trick
well I uninstalled Kies, told it to uninstall any and all drivers for mobile phones. cleaned my registry. restarted my computer, installed the drivers fresh, plugged in the phone and it seems to work. for the first time it shows as a mtp device!
thanks a million. let's hope it works to transfer files.
I have spent litterally all day trying to update my mrs g3 d855 and i have had no luck, how much of it because my computer i dont know. Im running a chromebook with a full linux distro gallumos installed, got virtual box running 32 bit windows 7. Android sdk, adb etc and got lg drivers installed to recognise the device in its various states, ptp, mtp, download. all that is working. got the official lg mobile support tool and the lg 2014 flash tool.
the problem im having is neither of these will update the phone, if i try to manaully flash the kdz using the flashtool or updating using the official one, it wont update recover either. if i try different region or enter the imei number it always fails at 4%. Iv tried different usb cables, different ports, the phone was at 100% battery the whole time, the laptop was on charge the whole time. I really dont know what else to do, i have no access to another windows machine here and its the mrs phone and she wouldnt want me to take it to work to try on another pc there. As i said earlier the drivers all seem installed correctly, the firmware downloads and extracts as it should but I really am at the point i dont know what else to try
Hello,
Did you try LGUP method? Link is here.
It's easy to use. All you need is there, try it and reply
Just TIP: Do you really have correct drivers for download mode? If LGUP see you device as "unknown", change your COM port to #41
Do "FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM"
I think I might of, how ever before work I did download a version of lg up and some kind of other installer for it. I also got a kdz file to try and flash. The drivers should all be fine, it gets recognised in all the various modes. My fiance is on nights this week, the soonest il be able to try again is tomorrow so I will let you know it goes. Thank you for replying

Thanks buddy il let you know after I can try it again. If it was a Nexus it would be fine, I know all about fastboot, unlocking bootloaders and rooting and stuff for the Nexus line. So much easier to work with
So I think I might know where I'm going wrong, i thought I had all the drivers set up but there's one I missed, for download mode
Under device manager I see when the phone is turned on with adb on
Android device- lge mobile adb interface-google Inc 4.0.0.0-working properly
Portable devices-g3-lg electronics 4.0.0.0-working properly
Ports (com & lot)-lg mobile USB serial port (com 4)-lg electronics 4.0.0.0-working properly
In download mode device manager
android device isn't there, no adb which is fair enough
Portable devices-g3 with yellow warning triangle-lg electronics 4.0.0.0- the device cannot start code 10
Ports (com & lot)-lg mobile USB serial port (com 4)-lg electronics 4.0.0.0-working properly
So I need to trouble shoot why the device cannot start. I have downloaded 2 packs of Lg drivers, lg united mobile driver & lg mobile driver. Both of which contain loads of drivers inside.
If I guide windows into either of the folders it won't install any new drivers giving an error saying that the driver software is already up to date.
I'm going to Google to find out what's going on with device cannot start error, if I'm missing something obvious please jump in
Can you please post complete screenshot with windows device manager (with open ports menu) and adb console with command "adb devices" ?
In your chromebook, do you have disabled all USB power saving bull****s? Also check VM software to see if there is such a possibility to enable/disable USB power plans.
At least, sorry for my bad english Still a lot of things to learn.
Your English is fine I understand perfectly, in fact I wouldn't of guessed it's not your native language so don't worry! Iv taken photos of my screen. You will see when the phone is turned on normally the host and client can both see the device and adb shows the device is detected and returns the serial number, all good there. The last photos shows when it's in download mode and that the driver isn't working properly, it can not start the device with a code 10 error. If I can fix that I know the lgup programming will run. The problem is because the PC can't communicate with the PC in download mode because of some driver issue.
I'm going to have to carry on tomorrow as I have to go to work and the Mrs needs her phone here while she sleeps

I'm going to have to carry on tomorrow as I have to go to work and the Mrs needs her phone here while she sleeps

Please, enter download mode and change in Windows COM port from #3 to #41 and try LGUP method . It's up to you what method (upgrade, full wipe) you choose.
OK sounds straight forward enough. As I say il have to try tomorrow as I'm at work now and left the Mrs with her phone at home asleep, she will be working night shift so it will have to be when she is back home. I really appreciate the help and il post again to update how I get on
Where I am now is no further, iv tried changing the port to 41 through device manager. Iv set the port 0041 in virtual box for USB settings. Iv tried several sets of drivers. What keeps happening no matter which set of drivers I use when the phone goes into download mode mtp stops working and stops the phone communicating with the PC. When I restart it will work normally for a while but go wrong again. If I try lg up and starting the upgrade in download mode it gives me an error saying it can't change to download mode if I choose refurbish or upgrade. Lg PC suite just hangs at 0% and returns an error after a while. The 2014 flash tool will get as far as trying to flash but hangs at 4% and returns an error but doesn't specify what. I really don't know what else I can do. When these programs reboot the device into download mode it disconnects the device from the virtual machine and I can't get it connected again quick enough before errors are returned or mtp stops working which requires me to reboot the VM or phone. The only thing I can think to do is try on another machine. If it was my phone I would of thrown it out the window or under a bus. Lg software is unusable through virtual machines and I am not buying a new PC just for this lol Il see if I can use someone else's. I hate being defeated, iv have spent probably some 16 hours and got no where! Why can't they just release an ota? It only strengthens my belief in nexus and fastboot. Sorry for the rant but this really has got under my skin and I don't like giving in
Edit
I'm just as annoyed with windows as lg at this point. I really don't like using it. Grrrr
