"USB Device Not Recognized"
I have searched for so long trying to figure out what's wrong. I'm out of idea's on how to fix it, nothing will recognize my Evo.
Tried on 4 different computers, two of them running 7, one running xp, and last running vista, all say the same thing, computers not the problem.
Downloaded htc sync, disabled/enabled usb debugging, restarted the phone many times, restarted computers, and even changed the default usb connection to HDD and HTC sync.
I rooted using the idiot proof guide and used the Sprint Rom he linked in the guide. Would love some help. Thanks!
Try downloading the auto sync app in market
And let me know what happens.

Just tried that and still not recognizing it.
Which HTC Sync did you try? I think the latest is 2.0.40
http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
set the EVO connection type to HTC SYNC and USB DEBUGGING ENABLED.
Assuming you've used ADB, what response you you get from
ADB DEVICES at the command prompt?
you should get something like
C:\>adb devices
adb server is out of date
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT05EHL10353 device
and we will know you have a good physical connection to the computers. If it doesnt show up, try a different USB cable....
also can try this helpful link...

Thanks for the help! I checked for my device in ADB and it does not list it, so i guess my cable is probably bad. I'll go out and buy another and hopefully that fixes the problem.

When i connect my phone in recovery mode, it still just says device not recognized, so i can't really do that.
Sorry but bump, i relly need help with this.
It still says unknown device when i try to connect my phone in recovery mode.
Go into your computers device manager and uninstall the device and htc sync, then reinstall sync and make sure usb debugging is on then plug it in
Edit: sorry, go into the device manager with it plugged in. if its not there (should be a yellow or red triangle next to it or neat the to as a HID) them it could be your cable or phones port.

Just tried that and it's a no go, still the same problem, Also tried another cable today and that didn't help either.
I have light leakeage at the bottom of my phone, so i think i'm going to take it in for that and just get a replacement.

I think you need to pay closer attention to the guide, because this statement makes no sense in reference to the guide.
The guide is helping you install ADB drivers, you don't need to do anything in ADB while your phone is in recovery in that guide.
Could be wrong, but I'm still fairly certain that the guide will fix your issue, because I had the same problem.
It's as simple as you do not have the correct, or any ADB drivers, therefore your phone is not showing up as a device under ADB. Once you have the proper drivers installed, your device will show up.

I followed the simple guide step by step.
When i boot into recovery mode i end up with this in the picture.
His recovery mode shows an Evo with a little exclamation mark next to it, i'm guessing what i got is still recovery mode. But still if i plug my phone in my computer still says unknown device, so i can't install ADB drivers.

You just have a different recovery. Once you are in recovery, you don't need to do anything else on your phone specifically.
Instead, connect your phone to your PC via USB if it isn't already and open up device manager on your PC and follow the rest of the guide.
Edit: Where does it say unknown device? In Device Manager?

It shows up in usb controllers instead of other devices as he shows in the guide. If i try to update the driver it just tells me it's already up to date.
>Sorry yea it does say unknown device in device manager.
Gotta bump, would really love to just fix this instead of driving 30 mins to a sprint store.
So i followed the guide for installing apb drivers, but even in recovery mode my phone still shows up as unknown device in device manager.
Ok, well I just ran into this myself on my secondary computer. Have you tried a different USB port on your PC?
My front ones were giving me unknown device, but as soon as I plugged it into one of the ports on the back of the mobo ADB showed right up in device manager.
Factory reset it and get it exchanged.I belief is the SD card failure issue.

I have the same problem and posted this question on 3 forums including the HTC support forum and nobody has been able to find the correct solution.
I know the cable and the port is good because I can connect my Samsung Moment to it and it works perfectly. On the Evo, I've downloaded the latest HTC Sync from the official HTC site, tried the one on the microsd card, checked and un-checked USB debugging, and still it doesn't connect.
The Evo won't connect to my Win 7 computer at home, Win XP at work, but it will connect to my daughters computer which is running Win XP also (all 32 bit).
I bought this Evo from Best Buy exactly 28 days ago today. Do they give you 30 days to return it, or is that only the Sprint store?
They do give u 30 day trial.go get it exchanged or...........

The only way I could get the drivers to install right on windows 8 was to boot into download mode and plug in to usb on computer... let it search and find them in download mode... worked for me when nothing else was...

I actually came across a link to samsungs web site for some USB drivers.......I thought what the hell, I've tried everything else LOL, I installed them on my 8 box...and it actually worked, Odin sees my Epic now
did anyone get this to work? ive tried repeatedly to get my epic 4g (with keyboard) to be recognized by my new windows 8 computer and I cant for the life of me. The above does not work for me. Along with other suggestions ive read online.
i downloaded these drivers and even tried compatibility mode.
what i noticed is windows 8 isnt listed in the list of compatibility mode
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SPH-D700ZKASPR
My win 8 machine did just fine when I connected my Epic. Able to transfer files between them both and Odin worked with no issues.
I did find, however, if you download the new drivers - win 8 has a hard time seeing the Epic. I also have Zentimo Storage Manger installed and it actually reads the Epic as a Linux Card Reader.

which drivers do you have? can you post them so i can try to install your version instead and hopefully have better luck. The computer recognizes my evo lte right away without installing any type of drivers. but wont recognize the epic.

Not a problem. Give me a couple of minutes to find them plus I am currently doing maintenance to my media server.

Took the liberty to find the driver download that I have on my laptop. ----> Samsung Driver <----
Let me know if this helped.
Just in case you don't know (which I am sure you do), open with winrar or 7-zip and click on setup.exe.

i extracted and ran the exe and I get "the samsung android driver was not successful(9)" or something like that. Guessing the "9" is a error code?
one thing i might add is device manager doesnt even recognize the device when i plug it in. no sound notification like you would usually here.
Are you running 32 or 64? Those drivers are 64.
Also try a different port. I know if I don't use the sane point I have issues too.
One other thing might be your connecting wire. If you have another USB wire, I would try that too.

im running x64
ive tried the only other usb 2.0 port i have and tried even the 3.0 for the heck of it as well as another cable. But ill look for another cable and see again.
you think since the computer is still new enough where i can get away with a system restore to when i first got it without losing anything if that would be any help? maybe I messed up some how. maybe plugging in the phone before installing drivers messed it up?
also funny thing is i connected the phone to the computer in download mode as well and still was recognized not even as if it was charging.
forgot to add I was able to install your drivers once i did compatibility mode but my phone still wasnt being recognized.
I'm sure you know this as well, but is USB debugging checked?
You can try a system restore but my experience with that and windows 8 hasn't been good.
You stated when you connect your device the computer does nothing? Not even chime?
If that is true, it is your USB ports on computer not your phone.
Have you connected another device with the same cable? If so, what if anything happens?

Yes tried usb debugging. Switched back and forth between pda and modem on diag uart menu thing. Tried different cables as well as different ports and yes other phones it sees and chimes the epic 4g charging light lights up but won't chime with computer.
I've also installed kies to see if that would help.
One last thing to try.
Go to settings/wireless - mobile networks/ scroll down till you find USB connection.
You may accidentally have check charging only. Check ask on connection.

I've been through usb debugging and the charge only the tether option as well as mass storage
Could the version have anything to do with it or that's its been flashed already from another computer.
Flashed from another computer should have nothing to do with it. I can take my device from desktop (where my device was flashed) to my laptop without any issues.
The only thing I can think of is, it has to your USB port on your device. For some reason, it is only letting you charge from a computer. That's why I thinking of the charge only feature. That would prevent your computer from seeing your device.
Even if it was the wrong driver it still would say "unrecognized device".
I would say go into control panel and uninstall driver but with it not seeing the device you can't do that.
Sorry. Right now I'm at a loss. I will keep thinking about it.

I'm running windows 8 64-bit, and I have an HTC One from VZW.
The phone is recognized via ADB, but whenever I get into the bootloader, it tells me the device isnt recognized and I can't do any fastboot commands with it. I was able to root and use fastboot on my N7 2013 from the same PC, so this is frustrating because I want to send my One in to sonic but if I can't DO anything when I s-off there's no point in sending it it.
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
Thanks
PS - I've only tried this PC, no others. It may work on my macbook but thats away for repair.

I would just install HTC Sync, sounds like it's a driver issue and HTC Sync will provide those needed new drivers for HTC.

sorry, thought I read it installed all the new drivers, you could try using Google to find the HTC current drivers, I can give you the numbers I have on mine my cpu is win 7 64bit not sure if it'll help but when in "uninstall or change a program" my HTC BMP USB Driver driver # is 1.0.5375
and my HTC Driver Installer driver # is 4.0.1.001
can't say it this helps at all but this is the CPU I used that I fixed the issue with
Best of luck!

Here is a previous post I made to another guy having the same problem. Not sure if this will help but this is what I did.
I had this problem too running windows 8 x64. I think my problem was that I installed the sdk first with google's USB driver and not HTC's driver. What I did to make it work is switch computers over to my wifes which at the time I hadn't installed anything on yet. I went to htcdev.com and went to the part of the site where it is step-by-step on how to unlock the bootloader. I installed the Java Runtime Environment on the link provided on the upper right side of the site, then I installed the HTC sync manager on the link provided as well. I had my phone connected to my computer usb 2.0 (not usb 3.0) the whole time and with USB debugging enabled (not in fastboot mode, but with phone normally on). After that I took the three files from the sdk that htc wants you to place in a separate folder and put them in c:\Android. I did not install anything from sdk this go around.. i just took the three files out and put them in a separate folder as instructed by htc. After that I opened cmd and directed it to the folder I placed the files in (cd c:\Android) and ran command "adb reboot bootlader" Once I did that and hit fastboot the "My HTC" in device manager no longer had an exclamation point. So in summary, I couldn't reverse the drivers from my computer that I installed first so I resorted to using my wife's computer that didn't have anything installed yet. I installed JRE, then HTC sync software, and just used the 3 files HTC wants from sdk and placed them into a separate folder. I didn't install anything from sdk. It all worked after that. I don't have instructions on how to reverse the usb drivers you have already installed because I couldn't figure it out... in fact, I formatted windows on my pc and am reinstalling. Hope this helps.

Yeah I'm going to try it out on my roommates laptop that only has samsung drivers and the ADB installed and see what happens. Can't reformat the PC cause it's my School desktop and I've got work on there.
Once my macbook pro comes back from repairs I'll use that though, since I've never had issues running adb commands on my mac
Found a soultion
After I tried almost everything I tried to improvise and try something totally different and it worked!
First uninstall the driver in the Device Manger and then press to update it >> then press Browse my Computer for driver Software >> then press on Let me pick from list.... >> in the list choose the Portable Devices >> choose MPT USB Drive !
And It works...

MPT USB Drive isnt one of my options
However I've found that it's microsofts USB3 drivers, which override the Intel ones.
I just got my macbook back from repairs and it has USB3 ports as well so I was worried it wouldnt work, but its working fine from there
I'm having this same problem and nothing I do is working. I even tried from another computer but had no luck. adb finds the phone fine but fastboot just won't work. This is keeping me from getting S-Off. Someone please help.
Edit: Nevermind I think the issue is that I'm using Windows 8.1
I'm having the same problem I'm windows 8 64bit...
I have a nagging feeling that it's pda net.. I need to look into it today sometime

After going through a replacement process (twice) after cracking the screen on my first device, I was relieved to find that the replacement I got sent wasn't updated to un-moddable status. However, after using rumrunner to s-off, flashing cwm 6.0.4.8 recovery, and using that to install cm11 m6 snapshot, I was disappointed to find that my phone will not connect to Windows in a manner where I can access USB storage. Enabling debugging in dev options does initiate the "device plugin sound" from Windows, but after looking in device manager, all that shows up there is "Android ADB Interface". When debugging is disabled, Windows makes no sounds, and there is nothing in the device manager. The only response i'm receiving is that the charge light on the device comes on. I would try to install drivers, but seeing as the computer doesn't even recognize that a device is plugged in, i'm pretty much halted on that front. Any comments or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

once the windows sees the phone. feel free to remove the sync portion of the install and keep the driver installer on the pc.
this should fix it and wont mess with ADB or fastboot.
Hehe, thanks. I guess I'm just a little paranoid about having junky, manufacturer specific software on my pc. Will see if this works.

[Q] E980 bricked - Computer says "unknown device" - Only boots into Recovery and DL
My wife somehow managed to bork her Optimus G Pro. She was running rooted stock, and the phone ended up somehow booting to CWM. She said she "picked a few selections", and the phone won't get past CWM now.
I can't do the mobile flash tool because every time I connect the phone, it somes up as Unknown Device. This is after I updated the drivers on both computers. Tried various ports & USB cables, same thing. MY E980, by the way, shows up fine in Device Manager.
I've tried restoring a previous backup, but it still boots right back to recovery. For some reason, the phone doesn't recognize the external card, or I would have tried making a backup on the other phone with the bootloader included, but I have no way of getting it onto the broken phone, unless I can push it via adb somehow.
Anyway, I appreciate any help anyone can give

If the message you are referring to is one that pops up using a windows computer. I have seen it most of the times I have flashed back to stock. Unknown device, device can't be recognized, something not installed, etc. Carrying on with the restore method even so has also worked every time.

Yep, that's the message. I'm running Windows 7.
I'll give it a shot when I get home, but without the device showing up in the com port section of device manager, I can't change the phone over to port 41, right?
I have a TWRP backup from my other E980 that I included the Bootloader option in the backup. Is there any way to push that to the phone using ADB?
I don't know if OP has the same problem as mine. My phone just keep boot into CWM all the time. No matter which rom I flash.
And I Finally found a method to solve this problem, please look here:

Reading that post, it sure seems like what I'm going through. I'll have to give it a shot tonight. Either way, thanks for the response. This thing has me pulling my hair out.

before you boot into system, make sure you already have one system installed( I did once wipe system and fogot to install a rom..)
At least that post is working for me! Now I am using TWRP,

No luck with that post. Followed every step on two different computers, but neither computer will recognize it (keep getting that "unknown device" error in windows).
I saw a post somewhere that someone had luck formatting their system drive in Recovery, but that seems a little bit drastic to me. I'll probably try uninstalling and reinstalling all the drivers again first. And more swearing. LOTS more swearing...

Did you install LG driver in those two computer?
That post has cover issues when device is not recognized. If that doesn't help, you need to go back to stock using files in the General section
I'm also having the same problem. Can I run those adb commands on a Ubuntu machine?

try this one, use the TWRP method. ( I got into recovery bootloop again today, my computer could not see my phone at all. And I accidently press continue on OTA... f**k, then phone run into recovery for 2 hours.)
This method help me out even when computer could not see your device.

Right, but if my computer isn't connecting to my phone (except to show it as an "Unknown Device"), and ADB isn't connecting, and none of the recoveries see the ext. SD card, how do I get the files across?

Holy crap...that idea with the TWRP terminal command got me up and booting! So glad that I kept TWRP on there!
For some reason, it's still not reading either the SD card or recognizing the device on USB, but at least this is progress, and at least I can run the thing.
*update* and now it seems to be reading the SD card. At least with that and wifi, I'll be able to move files to/from the phone. I'm going to try reinstallng drivers. With all the reinstalling, uninstalling, and swearing I've done lately, I think there's a good chance that'll work.

well You should owe me 8 thanks hit for saving your phone..:fingers-crossed: LOL
I would also recommend reinstall drivers, then reboot computer( it is important), and try different USB ports on your PC. my computer just won't recongize my phone on one port, but it does on the other. God knows why...

Heheheh, yeah, I was going to, but then I read your previous sig. Perfectly happy to ignore.
My google-fu failed me major league on this mess. I'm just hoping it's not a busted USB port on the phone.

Try different USB ports on PC. When my PC could not see my phone, I also panic and thinking that the USB port on the phone goes wrong.
Then I switch the port which my mouse is usually hook up. Bang! Windows is installing driver and few seconds Iater I was accessing the files on the phone.
Just give it a try.
My signature is just for fun...Emm, I should change it to " hit thanks twice if you like my post "..
