Dead USB port and MicroSD slot

So today, I was upgrading from modaco 2.7 to 2.7.1,
after the upgrade (using recover mode and the signed zip file (core chinese)), I did a system wipe and reboot the device with the USB still plugged in my PC, and everything seems to be normal until my pc's tray notification pops up with the "unknown device found" message - i thought it was a little bit odd, so then I waited for the hero to boot up completely - it reboots after showing the HTC logo once, and then it boots normally to the setup wizard (select language, etc);
I then followed the normal procedure of typing all the wifi, flickr, gmail stuff in, and when i got into Rosie, it shows a notification icon on the hero saying "SD Card removed". I can't access the SD card, nor my pc can recognize the hero. I ejected the SDCard and re-insert it but it's not detected either. HTC Sync on the device does not give a notification nor the mass storage notification shows up either.
I tried rebooting into recovery mode, (Hero 1.2.3) and i can see the menus just fine; however, when i try to mount SD card as usb, or flash update.zip or any zip, or fix ext3, or clear dalvik-cache or wipe the sdcard's ext partition, it keeps giving me errors saying
error: run 'whateverprogram' in terminal
when i try to set 'USB Mass storage on', it says "Error enabling USB mass storage! Run ums_enable manually from console.
I then try to login the device using adb shell through window's command prompt, it says device not found as well.
giving up, i tried to reboot teh device into fastboot mode, the PC recognizes the USB device just fine. it's really odd.
Anyway I can do a recovery on this to make these device work again?
p.s. when i try to choose zip file in recovery mode, it says
Code:
"E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory)
Can't mount sdcard, aborting".
after every reboot (shutdown, start), the setup wizard shows up again as if I have not written anything on my device after any setup.
I can't download anything to run on the Hero as it requires the SD card. I can't flash any recovery images either as again it requires the SD card.
Any ideas??? I'm left with a half-brick now

Update1: using ConnectBot I can login my own device using root,
it shows the following when i run df -h:
Code:
/dev/block/mtdblock3 1700M 157.3M 12.7M 93% /system
/dev/block/mtdblock5 165.8MB 12.8M 152.9M 8% /data
/dev/block/mtdblock4 130.0M 1.2M 128.8M 1% /cache

kazuni,
Can you read SD card in your PC?
Several persons reported problems with SD card after upgrading to modaco 2.7 or 2.7.1. They have to format SD card.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have tried doing so, in fact, i have 4 SD cards to try and none of them are readable in the Hero; they are readable using a card reader in my PC though.

Update2: the only way that my pc can detect my device as "My HTC" is when i boot it into fastboot mode; unfortuantely there are no way for me to update the device in this mode, so i can't do anything to modify the rom, or to check it using dropbear or any shell client. =\
C:\Documents and Settings\user>fastboot devices
HT97RL900725 fastboot
it sees it just fine.
I wonder if the goldcard method + fastboot update will work or not; let me give it a shot and try to flash it back to 405.5 first ;\
update3: can't. fastboot update is still locked for any rom type.

damn man. its freaking. i am not going to update to 2.7.1 untill this issue is resolved.

still no go.
im left with a half-bricked device that:
1) clean wiped, normal boot, cannot detect SD card nor the Hero is detectable by XP.
2) clean wiped, recovery mode, can't run any of the script except :
Reboot System Now
Wipe data/factory reset
Fix apk uid mismatches
Fix rotate
3) can't download anythign from browser as it needs to save onto sd card.
4) android market doesn't have flashrec so i can't reinstall the recovery image.

wget ftp://myhost/system.img /data/
flash_image system /data/system.img
hope this works

When you are in the shell check out the file /proc/cmdline.
Would be interresting to see if the HBOOT send a command line to the kernel to disable the SD card.

can't. It doesn't even boot into normal mode, nor boot loop. it just holds at the HERO logo.

I think I have the same problem, i can charge my phone but trying to mount my phone to either my pc or mac it just won't be picked up

tried using RUU with a goldcard, no go. remote not allowed (fastboot flash system system_rel.img, nor fastboot boot boot.img or fastboot flash boot boot.img. no go. sigh.)
now i have a brick :\
wonder if there is any way to go into fastboot mode and flash ANY part of the blocks (device, recovery, or system, if at all).

Some progress: using hboot mode, i placed HEROIMG.zip into the sdcard and it loads successfully. it works! and im now rolled back to official 2.7.405.5; however, the USB and the sd card is still dead ;\

I guess I'll be bringing it back to HTC to see if they would do anything about it (fortunately It's now back to stock recovery and 2.74.405.5)

I managed to do the same thing, i'm hoping the tmobile will replace my phone

hi all,
I am having the same issue... what I don't understand is: it has to be a software problem, because, from what I've read, everyone of us have been installing radio and firmware updates to the htc hero, and since some of these updates the USB and sdcard mounting is not properly working... I believe it's not possible to break a USB port just by installing software...
so there should be a way to fix this other than sending the phones back... If anyone has any suggestion I can try it on my phone
cheers : )

I know it's weird! Funny thing is, official updates includes radio + recovery + pretty much every part of the rom is being re-flashed (including hboot, from what i understand); how ever, ONLY in hboot mode, the device is recognized properly as "Android USB" by windows.

Some of your problems I had to. To be exact: that my pc wouldn't recognize the phone when connected with usb except for fastboot and charging.
For weeks I searched and found some people with similar problems, but never a solution.
I had no problems with my sdcard however.
Now my problem is gone. How? I had the HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 ROM (pre-rooted and packaged as update.zip by MoDaCo) and decided to update to Paul's ROM v2.5.
After I was finished with the installation wizard and connected the phone with usb to my pc everything suddenly worked again!!!
So I got the usb and HTC Sync notification at the top of the screen and can mount the sdcard using the notification bar.
This tells me that in my case it definately wasn't a hardware problem as I always thought, but a software one.
I hope you can something with my experiences because I know how frustrating it is when this doesn't work!

I tried this but it didn't seem to work for me, so I just put the official rom update and sent the phone back to my network saying that it was broken, now i've gotta wait for another 2-3 weeks to get my phone back , but i'm hoping they'll give me a new phone as i did kinda drop it and there two scuff marks on it

hello dennis333,
today I tried going from 2.8 to the HTC generic ROM you told, and then to 2.5. no results.
I also installed the official HTC / Orange Rom update, which I have now. It has improved a bit because now when I plug the USB cable the PC detects something, but it does'nt work... it says 'unknown device' (tried this on two computers)
when I boot to fastboot ( BACK + POWER BTN ) my computer detects Hero ok (My Htc)
I really don't know what else to try...
I saw another post from someone who had the exact same problem and got it fixed by installing SPL and ROM from fastboot menu
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556038
I tried it too, but when trying to use the SPL zip file he says I get an error ( I guess it's because he has a T-Mobile and I have an Orange Hero)
[update]: I finally got the SPL to flash correctly and then installed a modaco 2.8 ROM, but I still cannot connect the Htc Hero to the PC via USB.

[Q] HTC ONE -- can't access from computer

Hi all, I ****ed up and didn't make a backup.
I wiped the phone clean from bootloader recovery, but then realized I had forgotten to move the new gapps and cm rom to my phone.
When I plug it in, it is recognized by my computer, but the HTC MTP Device fails to work.
I can't see the phone, and therefore can't put anything on it to flash. If I mount the phone via the bootloader, it pops up in Windows and wants to be formatted.
I have been looking around and trying different things for the past couple hours, and figured it was time to ask someone who might know..
Any ideas?

I don't understand why I can't mount or access the phone. Do I not have the right drivers installed?
Is there any way to get around this and put the files on my phone so I can install any old ROM so I can boot it up again??

You need to update the drivers on your PC, there's a few threads on how to do it. You should still be able to use adb push to add files, though.

Drivers are fine ! Go in recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb mass storage device ! In the title you speak of a HTC one......so is it a ONE or a ONE X ?

Thanks for replying!
It is an HTC One X. Should I just install the Android SDK bundle? Or are there other drivers?

Android sdk bundle is good. But you have MYHTC so that's correct. You need to go into the recovery and mount the sdcard as a usb storage device, it will show the drive in windows and then you can copy a rom onto it.

Hi, so I installed the newest HTC driver (4.2) and all the SDK bundles. When I plug the phone it, it still won't recognize the HTC MTP Device. When I mount from the bootloader, it doesn't let me mount the sdcard (only the system data and cache), and Windows still shows a drive that needs to be formatted.
Do you think it's still a Windows driver I'm missing? If I go Terminal Command on phone it says
E: Unable to mount '/sdcard'
E: Unable to mount storage.

What's the option called you tap inside recovery. And what recovery are you using ?
If it's CWM you go to mounts and storage and tap the last option in that list.....then wait till it pops up on the pc

I'm using TWRP v 2.4.2.0 and I couldn't check the box for mount sdcard.
ADB push worked!
But the ROM failed. Is there anything else I'm missing?
It still says that E: can't mount.

Try this recovery please, i know this one blinded

Firstly thank you so much for taking time to help a lost stranger out!
What I did was reformat the J: drive that popped up on Windows, then I was able to put both the CM10.2 and GAPPS on the /sdcard/ (it would then mount)
I could then install both of them successfully, but I don't have a boot.img because my kernel is wiped. Will that file work as a boot.img?

Or how do I try your recover? Should I push it with adb? If so, to where?
I found two other boot.img files on the webs (boot.img and cm10.img), but I don't know how to get the phone to actually boot off them

The boot.img has to be flashed via Fastboot in the bootloader. So if you installed CM correctly via the recovery then flash the boot.img from the CM.zip ....
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
And a kernel can't be wiped via the recovery by the way. You can only delete/overwrite it via Fastboot commands

Okay! That's good
I think it flashed correctly, now I am just waiting for the phone to boot up. It's been going for about 25 minutes though. Should it be that long?

Nope not good.......make a full wipe in recovery before installing the rom.
Factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced-wipe dalvik cache
Mounts and storage-format cache,data,system
Then install CM and gapps then reboot because you already flashed its boot.img

None of the ROMs I've tried have worked! I think it's because my hboot is version 1.14.

Stuck yet again.
I relocked the phone to flash new firmware, but I have CID 1111111, so I can't find anything to unlock the bootloader again.
Double sauced. Ahhhhhh

Unlock the bootloader by flashing the unlock_Code.bin file wich you got the first time when it's unlocked.
Fastboot flash token unlock_code.bin
But you really should continue this in the right forum. Flashing stuff from here may brick the phone !

S3 Won't Boot Properly

I am running my S3 on TMO, with 4.3 booloader & latest modem. I was also running a 4.3.2 TW rom.
This morning, I decided to wipe the rom, then restore it, as it was the one I had in backup. I was having stuttering problems, and thought that because I had added & deleted so much stuff in the past few days, restoring my clean backup would clear it up.
I have the latest TWRP recovery, and wiped the cache & dalvik, then went to restore the rom. But when it finished, and I rebooted, got stuck at the ktoonez (my kernel) logo. I did a battery pull, and went back into recovery, did a full wipe, then tried to restore the rom. This time, 3/4 of the way through, it rebooted on its own, and started to bootloop. When I tried to get back into recovery, it would only boot to the Samsung logo, so I knew that now my recovery was gone. I used Odin on my PC to restore it, but it does the same thing. I do a complete wipe, restore the backup, but it again reboots by itself out of recovery about 3/4 of the way through, then it gets stuck at the kernel logo.
I don't have anything other than the backup stored on the phone. Is there a way that I can load a rom from my PC through recovery so that I can just start over? Or will I probably have to Odin everything back to stock, and start from there (which I've never done from the PC. I have used mobile odin though)?

Update:
I decided to do a odin back to stock. Now though, after setting for a few minutes, it says optimizing apps, goes through it, gets to the little android guy shooting upwards, goes to the Samsung logo, then starts all over again. It just keeps going through it again & again.

anyone?

Did you go into recovery and do a factory reset?

Yes, a couple times.
I have also tried taking the card out the phone and putting it into the pc to manually place the rom on it, then flash it, but my pc wont see the card. It makes the sound that something has been inserted to a usb port, but shows nothing on the computer.

What if you flash a recovery and then a ROM?

In TWRP recovery there is an option to sideload a file. Go to Advanced>ADB Sideload. From here you should be able to use the command:
Code:
adb sideload location/of/ROM.zip
This should transfer the ROM to your internal sd card.
You should make sure that your computer detects the phone before the transfer with the command:
Code:
adb devices
It should should return:
Code:
List of devices attached
phone id recovery
If it returns the above, you know you're okay to transfer. If it doesn't show your phone's model, that means that the computer doesn't recognize your phone as being detected (probably driver related); therefore, your file will not transfer with the sideload command.
I saw your post in the S3Rx thread that your computer won't read your sd card either. I'm not sure if you're using Windows/OSX/Linux, but if you're using Windows, you might want to try installing Linux on a USB drive, booting from that, then plugging in your sd card. In the past, I have had success mounting drives on Linux that would not mount on Windows. I know that this is a little more effort than is probably necessary lol. But I'm not nearly as versed as others here. I just like to tinker a little.
I hope you're able to get your phone booting again!

The phone doesn't have a rom to start with I don't think. This is what I Odin:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291682181
It's the right one, as I have the TMO S3, and I already had it on my phone to begin with. I thought it came with the stock rom included, but when I rebooted, it just gets caught in a bootloop after it says optimizing apps. I can get the recovery back, but I don't know how to get a rom on the card to flash. I even tried to use a old card, but again, my pc won't see it, so I can't put a rom on it to flash.

I am on a windows, and have only used the command prompt once a couple years ago, so my experience with it is limited.
But when I tried the command "adb devices", I got an error message saying that it was not a recognized command .
Also, What is Linux? If it is bigger than a couple gigs, then I don't have any place to put it.

The reason you get the "adb is not a recognized command" is because you don't have the Android Software Development Kit (SDK) installed. The SDK contains an executable command called Android Debug Bridge (adb). You can download and install it from the developer.android.com website. But chances are, you aren't going to have the drivers installed for your computer to recognize your phone in recovery if you don't have the SDK already installed.
If you aren't familiar with Linux, then I would say that going with that route is far more work than you're likely to want to put in to get your phone functioning.
If you'd like to try it though:
Linux is free to use, it is designed and compiled by several different companies. The more well known are: Ubuntu, Mint, Red Hat, and Backtrack. There are many more.
You can visit any of those sites, download the software, and install it on a USB drive. It usually requires a 4GB USB drive. Instructions to install it to a USB drive are usually listed on the site.
After installing it, you can boot your computer from the USB and use Linux like a fully functioning OS right from the USB drive. You won't be required to install it.
You can then try downloading the ROM while on Linux and transferring it to your sd card.
Sidenote:
Linux is an open source operating system on which Android is based. That is why Android is open source, it is ruled by the same GNU General Public License that governs Linux.

When you right-click on the E:/ do you have the option to format the drive? If so, you may want to try formatting it. That may fix your issue. Hopefully you don't have anything on the external sd that you can't put back on it.

This happened to me to after I installed the latest s3rx Rom...I haven't been able to recover my data or get anything to read my card.
After researching online a lot of people have had success running the chkdsk command... check it out here
http://www.ehow.com/how_7233441_restore-damaged-memory-stick-data.html

Ok, under Device Manager, the computer does see the phone as "MTP". I tried the troubleshooting process, and it went all the way through its thing, but at the end it said "failed" trying to install drivers. I just installed the proper drivers earlier today from Samsung, so I know they are correct. Also, this is as I am connected to the phone, not the card reader. The phone itself is flashing the Samsung logo, and that's as far as it has gone.
This is so frustrating because all I need to do is to get a rom onto the card. If I can get that, I can get into recovery and straighten this all out.

Anyone else with any ideas? I'm beginning to go a bit nuts thinking I have lost my phone just because I can't get a rom placed on my card.

Flash twrp or cwm, they have options to mount SD card, after that you can copy the zip and flash

[Q] HTC ONE X - No OS/SD-Card Detected

Hello,
I have done days worth of research in my spare time, before finally caving in and asking for help. I'm still kinda new to the custom rom scene, and somewhere I must've messed up.
I was updating my ViperX rom to a newer version, but got an error code during the install, which rendered the OS useless. So decided to wipe and reinstall the older version again, which failed. So I tried to install CM 11, which also failed... Somewhere a long the line my SD Card stopped being detected by the phone AND my PC. So now I don't know how to get an OS on it.
Here's some info I might need to share.:

I have access to recovery which is CWM 6.0.4.8.
My SD card WONT MOUNT (I think), so I don't think I could do "side loading", since it's not recognized in ADB . If I reboot the system, it bootloops at the CM update logo forever. I've tried reinstalling it several times, but it only installs for a few seconds, then restarts. (I'm guessing it's corrupt?)
(Edit: Earlier today it ran out of battery, and despite charging it for hours, it's not turning on and the little LED on the top is blinking RED... What's that all about?)
Is there ANYTHING I've missed, or can do to fix this? I don't care what kind of ROM I have to use at this point, I just want a WORKING phone.

Hello,
I have done days worth of research in my spare time, before finally caving in and asking for help. I'm still kinda new to the custom rom scene, and somewhere I must've messed up.
I was updating my ViperX rom to a newer version, but got an error code during the install, which rendered the OS useless. So decided to wipe and reinstall the older version again, which failed. So I tried to install CM 11, which also failed... Somewhere a long the line my SD Card stopped being detected by the phone AND my PC. So now I don't know how to get an OS on it.
Here's some info I might need to share.:

You must've missed the part where I said neither my Phone nor my PC can detect the SD card, so can't put anything on it. :/

NO I not missed nothing you don't listen me. flash Philz 5.15.9 recovery after this go in recovery connect the phone to computer and choice mount sd card after 1-2 min you will see your sd card and if you think not do this I will stop help you. It is your choice to flash revovery you dont need sd card only fastboot commands, use exactly the same recovery where I write you not newer not older have shears from me on googledrive use search function and download it take the recovery.img from zip archive then place in your fastboot folder the connect the phone in fastboot and run the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. Simple thing to do

while in orangefox recovery cannot file transfer to pc or adb sideload stuck on bootloop

I'm trying to fix this endless loading during the roms startup animation or it takes about 10 minutes then the screen goes black for a few seconds then it starts back up in recovery. I switched to orangefox from twrp to see if it would make a difference but it didn't so now I'm trying to use different roms, though I have already tried a few, but it wont connect to anything and adb just says there is no devices connected while in sideload it worked perfectly fine on twrp. Did I hard brick my phone?

For file transfer, if it's not enabled by default go to menu/mount/and enable MTP
the bootloop is maybe an encyption problem or corrupted data
i suggest you re install "twrp" then "vbmeta" then "Orangefox" then do a clean flash (don't forget DFE)

did you do what i suggested (re install twrp) ?
if so ,flash a custom rom (RRos) and see if usb can connect to make sure it's not a hardware problem (connector)
put the rom in a good external sd and clean flash
