I had simmilar problems with various devices. The thing is, sometimes USB is bugged, like I had almost no way to connect device except of switching USB ports.
- If your USB is bricked then there's nothing you can do about it except bringing it for warranty - if you still have it.
If not, then you'll have to get it to workshop, I don't have other solutions. As you said, warranty shouldn't be a problem, since it is not rooted.
( sorry for bad news :/ )
If you need USB for file transfer, then you could use USB card reader, that comes with lots of sd cards with, or you could try FTP Server with FileZilla ( If you got a decent Internet connection w/ local wifi)

Thank you rajivshahi for your answer and attention.
I had try all the methods that I find in hole of internet!!
also I tried your suggstted method. I was connect my phone with ans without SIM and memory to each USB port of my (and another) PCs, I changed my USB cable for several times, I also tried Uni_bootloader program and MTTY but they didn't work (because there is no USB connetion with my UNI and my PC)
I just keep crying!!!!!!
Have you tested doing Doc format?
Hope it helps,
If the device is not recognised by PC at the same time as Serial not changing to USB, I would think your USB port is no longer attached as it should and can cause the problem you described. From time to time USB port might still feel and look secure on mainboard, it will even charge the device, however, when it comes to AS and USB connection to PC, it will not connect properly.
That, or your PC USB or motherboard are malfunctioning. Try other USB devices in the same ports.
My PC's USB ports are work properly because as you told enigma1nz, I had test them with another devices
For the DOC format method: there is no USB port for connecting with MTTY!
Soooooo amazing!
(thanks for all your answers)
So, it means there is no way for me
hey,
have you disabled (unckeck) USB connection for ActiveSync/WMDC at PC?
do it now or USB port will not be available for mtty.
also please make sure that you installed XP sync driver under vista incase you're trying from vista.
follow the same -
1. unckeck USB connection for as/wmdc at pc
2. reset the device by pressing reset button
3. set bl mode (if not there already)
4. connect usb cable
5. start mtty ...
Hi Tomal, first I have to say: Thank you for your amazing roms. they are so fast, nice and stable. I'm one of the biiiig fan of your roms.
seconed: yes I was disabled the USB connection and also kill ir from task manager. but my Uni is still deeaaaaaaad
somehow I have a feeling that something is wrong with the usb port in device. may be connection is broken or something...
Hi everyone,
finally I had to send my Universal to doctor! , he says that I can load your device from SD card, and boot up it, (flashing card)
!!
I was wondered! what is flashing card! (load from SD card without any PC!)
Do any one have some information about this method!!!!

Yep, it does look like your device's USB being a culprit.

[Q] WinMo wont connect via USB since new Froyo installed.

I was trying to put the hum/hiss sound fix on my sd card and I cannot get my pc to connect via USB...
My wife has a TP2 and it connects fine...
I have tried with/without the sd card in, rebooted the pc and phone, rebooted the phone while connected to the pc.... nothing...
wtf...
anyone else with this problem?
PS... NRGZ28 had posted a very basic rom for booting to android back in Feb and it is now gone from hotfile. Anyone know of a quick boot into android?
- Try a different computer
- Try a hard reset
That are the first thing you should do.
Tried hard reset...
Dif PC is not an option at the moment... I have rebooted...
Just flashed the ROM (NRGZ newest, thank goodness I had it on my SD card) and I still cant get it to sync...
I have attached the USB error I am getting... (Win7, new install)
The phone is not asking if I want to active sync or use as storage???? wtf...

Reboot your PC? lol bet your tried that already...
Try this:
settings > connections > usb to pc > and disable Faster Data Sync then try. This way uses the generic usb drivers and maybe it will connect.
That did not work...
How do I get my Win7 laptop to see the phone with Android on it?

dont think thats working yet
Ya I don't think that works yet, it's tied to Android software drivers and the use of the USB port, since there is no drivers to control the port only to charge battery. Windows thinks there is something there, but the phones USB can't communicate back....I think this is the issue or at lease after playing around with it on my phone anyway
Not that it's a huge amount of help but might troubleshoot down to the hardware level...if you go into bootloader mode on the phone and connect to USB does it connect?
I don't think you should go that deep and dirty. My touch pro 2 works only with only 1 (non-HTC) cable of the 10 i have at home, all are the "standard" mini-USB but only one works flawlessly for communicating/flashing/syncing, the other cables either do the same error - device not recognized - or windows says that the device could communicate faster - and only copies files slowly.
All in all: you should simply check with another USB cable or if you have the factory HTC cable try it with that. I noticed that the cable i am using other than the HTC one is a very good quality thick (low-resistance and double-shielded) USB cable and it never failed on me.
One other thing you should definitely watch for: plug the USB cable into the motherboard USB port directly (on the back of the PC where you plug the keyboard, mouse etc.), sometimes PC cases with front panel USB outputs simply die, or are wrongly attached to the motherboard USB header and it can cause the aforementioned problems too, not to mention if it is wrongly attached it could harm your phone too.

phone not seen by laptop via usb

Could someone help me on this issue. When i connect my phone via usb to my laptop and on other different laptops/computers i've tried so far, it only charges the phone without mounting sd card or allowing data transfer. I'm using an O2 branded stock htc desire running on froyo. i want to root my phone and install install a custom rom. i don't know how or if possible to make a goldcard without using a usb connection cable to a laptop/pc and for the other processes of rooting and installing a custom rom.
I took it for repairs and a new port was put in and still same problem persists.
You know that you have to manually select mount sd. Also have you tried to connect it via adb, not to transfer files but to see if i usb connection works?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
For the adb connection, I think this will require USB cable connection or it's there a way to do this without USB cable connection.

Once you plug in your USB cable, you have to pull the top bar down and manually select to use it as a usb 'disk'...only then will you be able to load it with custom ROM.
As for rooting, I think you need to enable USB debugging for the UnRevoked method....

when i select it to use as usb disk, the laptop doesn't see it, same for usb debugging.
i tried using a usb hub with four ports to connect my phone to the laptop, the message i get is that '' this usb device is not recognised''. Pls why that message
Any help on this issue. I've been reading on usb brick phones and how to unbrick it. The problem is even when phone is connected via usb in fastboot mode, it still say device is not recognised. i was trying to get the CID number of the phone. i've never rooted or flash a custom rom yet. i started experiencing this when the phone fell on a concrete floor. i don't know if this is hardware related problem or software related.

Unable to Root - USB?

Hi All,
I need help to root and S-OFF my phone. The issue is that my USB charging post does not work (PC and other laptops do not detect it). I have read the Welcome to the HTC Desire (Bravo) Troubleshooting Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275632) and followed Section 11, at step number 7, I am unable to boot into recovery - all i get is a black screen with a red triangle /!\?
My phone is not recognized by the PC when selecting "Disc Drive", "HTC Sync". Have tried fastboot and I also tried Unrevoked, does not detect phone, have made sure usb debugging is on, any ideas - help and guidance will be appreciated.
Phone Info:
BRAVO PVT1 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 0.93.0001
MICROP 031d
RADIO 5.11.05.27
Android Version 2.2
Baseband 32.49.00.32U-5.11.05.27
so your micro usb port on your phone is damaged and cannot transfer data?
that method won't work
"#NOTES: MUST BE BOOTED INTO ROM, ONLY TESTED ON FROYO AND S-OFF"
you can't do step 7, because step 6 will fail. it can't flash a recovery because you are not s-off yet.
have you installed all the relevant drivers for the phone to be detected? install htc sync, then uninstall it but leave the htc drivers.
at a minimum you will need your phone to be recognised by PC. then use revolutionary to s-off. follow the guides.
Hi
Thanks for the reply's. It may be that the USB port is damaged.
I have installed HTC Sync and uninstalled it,not removing the drivers.
Is there a way to root without USB, say using the micro SD card?

not sure to be honest. so when you connect, computer can't see it or connect at all, you can't browse your sd card? it still charges though, so usb port is not completely broken.
have you tried another micro usb cable / laptop with drivers installed / sd card just to be sure?
you will almost certainly need it to be detected by pc to s-off/root etc. the software needs to communicate with the phone. have another look at the guides to see if they have another workaround.
Hi
Used another cable to check computer connection, still no joy, phone not recognized and does not charge phone anymore
I have read the guides, they all want PC access, do just asking if anyone knew of a different solution?

well if your phone doesn't charge anymore you need to look at the bigger picture. you need a working usb port regardless, at a minimum to charge the device! even if you s-off / root etc if it's not going to last one charge!
send for repair if it's under warranty, or find out how much it would cost for someone to repair it. there are probably guides out there to change it yourself if you're adventurous.
once it's repaired and working, you can s-off root etc properly
