[Q] HTC Desire HD Charging with USB but no USB Connection

As my topic says, when plugging in the USB to the computer the phone starts charging, but no USB connection to the actual computer. I tried with debugging on and off, tried with several ROMs but nothing changes it.
I tried to connect another phone thorugh the cable and that works fine so i know its not the cable thats the problem.
The version im running now:
Baseband version: 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version:2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3.DesireHD
Anyone got any idea and wanna help me?

goto setting>Connect to PC> and make sure "Ask Me" is ticked.
Im guessing that it doesnt ask you what you want to do and the phone by default charges i.e "Charge Only"

Do you not even get the icons in the notification bar?
If you're using Windows, have you got the drivers installed (sorry, I don't use windoze so I am unsure if you need them for this but seems to be a common issue)?
[EDIT] Or what he says above : o )

Well i have tried both doing "adb shell" with debugging on and then it says "Device not found", and tried to mount is as an USB disk to the computer and nothing happens.

I get the USB icon in the notification bar, but thats all. Yes, i have tried both with windows drivers and without (Cause it wanna install the drivers when they arent there), but nothing happens either way.
I even tried the phone to another computer and its the same there.. no reaction, so i think it´s something in the phone or kernel?

You could try reflashing the ROM without a full wipe (wipe Cache though). I doubt it's an inherent bug with ROM / Kernel otherwise there would be a flood of similar posts (checked nightlies as well).

I have already tried that with 3 different roms and its the same with all 3 roms

So that rules out problems with ROM or Kernel.
Next, need to rule out PC. Have you got another PC or laptop you can try?
Have you tried different USB ports (if using front ones, use back or any others that are on a different MB header).
Forgot to ask, when you say you tried mounting as USB Disk, do you mean you do get the option if you press the Charge Only icon in the notification bar of the phone?
And also, to rule out the SD card, do you have a card reader you can try it with?

Yes.. thats how i tried to mount it as an usb disk... i have tried mounting it in Clockwork Recovery Mod aswell... nothing there either :/

Not looking good!!
Last hope then is that it's a problem with the sdcard itself. Do you have a card reader on any of your pc's / laptop you can try?

Nope, no card reader. But i can send stuff to the phones sd card through wifi using myphoneexplorer
How can i install stock rom and kernel through clockwork? Or any way without having usb connection?

Unless the ROM you want is listed in ROM Manager and the Kernel in Kernel Manager (neither of which are fantastically up to date) then you will need to either find another way to get them on your SDCard or visit the the XDA site in a browser or XDA App, find the files you want and download them directly to your phone via the ether. You should then move them to the root of the sdcard and use Terminal Emulator to check the MD5SUM of the file before flashing.

well.. getting the files to the sd card is no big problem using myphoneexplorer over the wifi at home. but where can i find the stock rom with any mods that i can put on the sd and flash with clockwork mod?

Which stock ROM are you looking for? If it's the stock HTC OTA Gingerbread one them here - http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/
(Thanks go to @andyharney for that).
You mention stock with mods? Could you expand on that one and I'll get yo a link to the most appropriate ROM that suits?
Off topic: MyPhoneExplorer is great. Been using it since my early Sony Ericsson days - the original phone it was designed for, I believe.

Thanks alot mate!!
Only problem is that its and exe and i guess i have to use the usb to install those? :S
I meant Stock without mods ofcourse
I will check into that and install stock... i´ll update this thread with what i´ll try and how it works...

There's a PD98IMG version of an UNROOTED (you will lose root again) the Gingerbread ROM, give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can find it.
[EDIT] Sorry, a PD98IMG will allow you to copy to sdcard root, reboot into Bootloader and it will flash automatically.
[EDIT 2] - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13329691&postcount=96
They're Megaupload links though but you should be able to access them in browser. Take first link, rename it to PD98IMG.zip
Small Print: You do this at your own risk.

Thanks again.. will read up and see if i´ll do it

Hey guys
My first post
So i'm having the same problem. tried everything.
Any possible rom and nothing helps.
even the PD98IMG didn't help...
gave it back to the store, lets see what they have to say about it.

Has the phone gone yet or still in your possession?

[Q] No Debug notification.

First of all hello to all and thank you very much for the provided info on this forums.
I just got my first smartphone and I want to get root access on my phone.
After searching this forums for 2 days and asking some people around here for some help no one could give me an answer so here it goes.
I wanna root my Gio using SuperOneClick. Downloaded the latest version followed all the steps but my problem is that when I set me phone on debug mode from Settings > Application > Development and then connect it to the pc my phone does not go into debugging mode. The only option that I have on the status bar is "Select to copy files from/to your Computer"
I have latest Kies installed, latest pc drivers, latest usb drivers. I have tried on a second pc with win7 32bit version and with a secondary cable. I tried hard reset and also removing phone battery and all that stuff.
Running 2.3.3 firmware.
Any idea what can I do ?

Make sure anything related to kies is off, use task manager on pc, browse to processes and kill kies related services
Sent from my GT-S5660 using xda premium

Already done that. Except for this everything else works on the phone.
Also tried with sd card on and sd card off with sim on and sim off both sim and sd off still nothing.

Ok is done.
For some of the phones that are in Romania atm you can enable usb debugging but nothing will happen no notification no nothing so the only method to root your gio is with Universal_GB_Root_v5.
I found this after 4 days of constant searching for a solution for my phone.
Thank you very much to all the people that pmed me and the people that reply here.
If anyone needs some help with this and links to donload the root zip you can give me a pm.
Topic can be close.

[Q] Why won't Note 2 connect to PC after going into Download Mode?

My AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II cannot be seen by my computer if I put it into Download mode?
I have installed the Samsung usb drivers several times. Even tried the latest drivers. My computer can see the phone just fine until I put it into Download Mode and connect the usb cable. Then it sees nothing!
I have a dual boot Win 7 64 bit system, and I have installed the drivers on both partitions with the same results. I've rebooted the computer and the phone many times as well, but it does not work.
Any ideas would be helpful..
Thanks,

simple MTP is working well?

What is MTP? Does that mean mount the phone?
I can connect the phone to my computer anytime and see it just fine. I see the internal storage and also the SD card.

MTP - Media Transfer Protocol
That standard Phone to PC mode you can select after plugging it in.

Do you have USB debugging selected in the developer options menu?

Yes debugging is on. And I can normally transfer files. I've copied tons of music and a few movies.

I've found that these phones just don't get along well with some computers, and their usb connectivity is very inconsistent between phones. I have 2 GS3's and a Note 2. One my home laptop, one of the GS3's works fine, while the other will rarely even be recognized unless I swap the plug to another port a few times. After it's recognized, it frequently stalls on file transfers, and it crashed trying to update to JB. The Note 2 always is recognized, but similarly, large file transfers fail.
All three of these phones work flawlessly when connected to my work computer, using the same cable. I had a Focus that behaved similarly, so I think it's a Samsung issue. I've never had this problem with other brands.

Use version 1.8 of SGS3 Easy UMS app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711009
Gives you good old fashioned reliable USB disk mode.

Thanks for the replies. I have a laptop that I am going to give it a try on. Fingers crossed.

That thread says it only makes the SDCard available. If I am rooting, I need the internal as well, right? So, that doesn't sound like it will help for what I am doing.

I used to have an HTC Android Incredible, so it didn't call it that. But I just looked, and yes that MTP thing is on by default when I plug it into my computers.
NOTE:
I finally got it to work by using my other laptop. YEA!
Thanks All!

By download mode I assume you are trying to flash something in ODIN, correct ? If yes, then make sure you are using the USB the phone came with. If you are not seeing a COM reading on ODIN, try a different USB port on the PC/Laptop. I know my USB 3.0 port always gives me problems with connectivity to bootloaders and such. Attached is a pic of what the phone looks like in download mode and what ODIN should show when it recognizes the phone. Hope this helps.

I finally did get it to work on a different computer. Yes, I was trying to root using the Toolkit, and when it got to ODIN it could not see the phone when it booted into download mode.
When the Toolkit did boot it into Download mode though, it did not show that small text in the upper/left corner on the phone screen. I could only get that text when I booted manually into Download mode. I'm not sure what the difference is....
So far, I have it rooted and am going to try and flash the NOTEorious Prime ROM. It says to backup my APNs first, which I did with APN Backup & Restore app. But it cannot restore them in JB 4.1. I read somewhere to tell Titanium Backup to make APN B&R a 'System App', which I did, but that still will not restore APNs. So, now I am wondering that if I installed the NOTEorious Prime ROM, will that 'let me' restore APNs? Or since it is JB it won't still..
Thanks for the reply BTW..

May be you can use the old fashioned way. ..use a pen and paper to write the apn and details somewhere and if you lose them on the rom. ..you can enter them manually
handwritten from my note 2 (N7100)

I still find MTP a less than optimal solution, coming from HTC devices which are recognized as external drives when connected.

Guys, Please remember that MTP is only applicable when the device is switched on. This is for internal "Virtual SdCard" and external Sd Card.
Download mode opens up the other storage on the device, "mmcblk0p*" for flashing reasons with Odin.

To enable USB debugging, go to settings>about phone>tap on the build number 7 times. It will tell you "you are now a developer" and your will have USB debugging back
As far as your driver issues go, it sounds like you only installed fastboot drivers and not the regular drivers. Or somehow the regular drivers got deleted. If it was me, I would try rebooting my computer and phone. If that doesn't work, run the driver setup wizard in the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit. The first part of that process is deleting old drivers. It does a very thorough walkthrough on how to do that.

Try connecting your GNex to PC while in recovery mode then use ADB to push any ROM from PC to your /sdcard/ of your GNex in order to flash it.
At worst case, I think you can use a fastboot image to flash your GNex via fastboot.

[Q] Need some help.

I wanted a fresh start on my SG3, so I formatted my entire phone including the sdcard. Now my phone doesn't have a OS installed and my sdcard doesn't have any rom on it. I thought of just taking my sdcard out and using a sdcard reader to transfer a rom. But I couldn't find my ultra sdcard reader. I found a solution using adb in the "Samsung GS3 Toolkit" to transfer files. But I needed to install the phone drivers, now here's the problem. I can't seem to install the MTP driver without fully booted into android.
Could anyone give me some advice or point me in the right direction? Thank you.

Install samsung Kies on your pc to obtain the drivers. Then boot your phone into download mode and flash a stock image. I have a step by step guide in the general section for this.

You don't need to connect your phone to Kies. Just download Kies to your computer to get the correct drivers onto your computer. After that, use Odin to flash a factory tar image.
Hold Vol Down, home and power to get into download mode.
