Hey guys,
I tried getting some help for this over at the Nook Color threads because it all started *after* i rooted my NC, but no one's been able to explain to me what Ive done wrong or whats happened...
So here's the sitch.
o I have ADB installed, but it only activates in device manager when the nook is plugged in, not the G2
o When the NC get usb'd to the PC, it fully registers and gives me access to the SD card on it
o .... where as the G2 just sits there and says "yay im getting power!"
o ,,,, BUT if i plug it into a HUB rather than directly into a usb port on the mobo or front, the PC (win7 x64 ult) seems to see it but doesnt know how to properly assign a driver to it and gives it UNKNOWN
o also i checked the usb-adb ini file, and it lists all my other devices in the hardware cues BUT the G2, which means it hasnt properly registered since then or never had a proper profile to begin with in the PC. It even has my older mt3G listed which I havent plugged in since all this started.
Ive tried multiple driver types, but literately, NOTHING has worked. Its like the G2 isnt even properly registering in the computer when connected. I tried a factory reset, but still no luck. Is there anything beyond a soft fact reset for an unrooted phone? I mean, i need COLD AS STONE back to day 1 reset.
Please help, I really want to root this :'<
and no, the only way now to access my sd card is to turn the thing off and use a reader. Like i said, it literately is NOT seeing it :<
Wrong section. Ask in the Q&A, not the DEV section.
Try installing HTC Sync, even though it doesnt work with the G2 because its sense based, it will install the proper drivers for you. This worked for me.
Heres the link:

Another method would be install pdanet on you phone fron the Market, then install pdanet for your computer from here and it should install the drivers when you plug your phone in with pdanet app running:

I tried the Sense link, but I couldnt find the download option for it.... anyways, heres a more precise description of the issue
When I go and install PDA Net, it loads up the drivers, but the computer literately is not even registering that a DEVICE has been plugged in via USB. I dont even get the USB connect prompt on the phone!
That's what Im saying, something is up. I need to take the cable with me and try this on another computer now that I think about it to rule out that something isnt damaged on the phone...
What ROM are you using? Gingerbread ROM's act like the (for now), at least from what I understand. I tried CM7 and sure enough - it acted just like what you're describing.

But thats the whole thing, im not using a ROM, its just the stock OS build. if i was using a ROM, id have tried removing it and reloading it, but this is on a phone that isnt even rooted yet... actually... should I try going temp root again and see if that fixes anything?
Whats the best way to do that now since I keep reading Vision got pulled away because it was damaging phones or something?
Okay, so i tried plugging it into a diff computer.... same result... so whatever it is, its the phone.
Any ideas XDA pplz?
Has it seen the g2 before? if so, get usbdeview, find the drivers in there that would be used for the g2, delete those. Snag PDANet and download that, plug the phone back in and see what ya get. You will get the pop ups again about the new software being loaded since it will have to find and reload drivers for the phone and PDANet will have the drivers you need.

Like the guy above me said, DL or re-DL the drivers (though none should be needed if you're using it as a storage drive, the comp sees it as a usb drive). Is it charging your phone when you plug it in? It's rare, but the USB cable may be bad.
The only other thing I can think of is that something went wrong and the phone isn't releasing the mount to the sdcard, in which case you should try rooting and using a different ROM or a stock rom and it should help.
Well thats the whole thing, the computer doesnt even see the USB part of it. Thats been my whole issue. The computer doesnt see the phone or the usb drive part. It straight does not see the phone at *all*! Doesnt even show up in Dev Manager, but yet it gets power. I even went and got a new micro USB cable, fresh, and still nothing.
im getting to 86 the os and reload Win7, im like super uber pissed over all this because i cant figure it out. I dont even know whats wrong >_<!
Just for kicks (because I had this exact thing happen to another phone of mine - the slide) you're rooted, which means you have clockwork right?
Reboot into recovery and go to the 'mounts' part and select 'mount usb'. Do that with it plugged into your computer and let me know if the phone shows up then. That's the only way I could put it in mass storage mode. I flashed something other than cyanogen's rom and BAM, it worked like it was supposed to (Linux did mount cyanogen though - weird).
If you want to go back to 0 day with your G2, search 'PC10img' and download it. DO NOT FLASH IT YET, you could really screw up your phone since you have s-off. Go to the wiki and scroll to the bottom, it tells you how to get s-on. Once you can verify that you have s-on, proceed to flashing the pc10img.
Wiki
Okay, so, Im way better now. Apparently I managed to get s-off and root ability via
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837315
when i reloaded and got rooting ability, somehow, I now have a detectable sd card again.
I dont know how, I dont know why, I just know that Im going to throw CM6.1.1 onto this thing and be rocking it hard
Thanks again for all your help guys, it was awesome to know XDA really helps out its followers
EDIT:
Okay... so now Im mixed. I have a rooted phone, with CM6.1.1, but still doesnt properly recognize when plugged into the PC.
oh well, I already called TMobile and their sending me a new phone under warranty. Its gotta just be a busted port in some way for detection. I dunno. >_<
But still, thanks a lot guys. Means a lot
I am having an external powered 2TB Hard Disk .. After a long search i start this thread. i like to connect that HDD to my Desire HD. I dint find any satisfactory answers from other thread.
And even this stupid Nokia N8 has USB OTG .. I know DHD can do that also but how ? help me i checked it by connecting DHD with Nokia's CA-157 i dint see any thing in my phone. running Stock ROM Gingerbread ..
It is not possible without a special kernel and manual installing of OTG modules. Pretty advanced stuff, you will need root & S-OFF to do that.
Thanks. What r the things to do?. I need only my pendrive to work. I have gone to the posts where they are working for to accept keyboards webcams etc. I have s-off radio-off clockworkmod installed running LeeDroid ROM
Hi everybody!
My 15-year old daughter have a LT15a since April this year and eventually she managed somehow to break the USB port about 2 months ago, I don't know how. It was bought in the US like in February by a friend of mine, and besides that I unlocked the bootloader, so warranty claim is not an option.
I was happily using JellySandwich v4.3 and I tried to update to V5. It didn't work but I remember reading that it was based on .587 and I was on .431, so I found a .587 LT15a firmware and began flashing in Flashtool. After it finished, I removed the USB cable and it was the last time the port worked. I knew it was damaged from before, because it only worked with only one of the several microUSB cables that I have (I also own a BB, an X10 and a Milestone) and had to put it in a special position on my PC, It didn't work anywhere else, so I removed the cable very carefully but I failed. I transferred the files I needed via WiFi, trying to use the USB port the least possible. I visited several Cell technicians here in Venezuela, but this phone is almost unknown in here, let alone finding parts for it. Googling, I found the USB port in eBay (several Chinese sites have it and one in UK) but it will take forever to reach here.
After this LOOOONG story, here comes the question: Is there anyway to root it and install CWM without using the USB port? I looked everywhere but didn't find a solution. I even tried the Flashtool ADB restore option, but didn't work
This phone is almost useless without A2SD or Link2SD
Thanks in advance for your answers

USB OTG isn't possible on our Desire HD (Well, it was possible on Froyo Sense ROMs) but I believe the Devs are working on it
Hi,
I bought this adapter. On my Mi5 pro with Cyanogenmod everything works fine. But with TWRP not, because it just dont recognize the adapter with the USB-Stick. I have tried FAT, FAT32 and NTFS. Nothing, TWRP just dont sees the USB storage.
I would like to ask here, if someone already as an adapter for USB 3.1c to normal USB 2 or 3 that is already working. Otherwise it becomes a lotery for me, buying adapters till I find one that is compatible :crying:
I want to make backups, before I install OTA updates for Cyanogenmod.
Already have wrote a email to TWRP team (for about 2 weeks) but still no answer.
Maybe one of you can recommend me a adapter the he knows that is working for sure with TWRP (newest version), because I have it working or you know that has the adapter working for sure.
For every idea I would be very greathfull.
Regards.
No idea? Cant believe, that no one here has a adapter working with TWRP.
