Hey Guys
Being in IT I always tell people it's a bad Idea unplugging a USB device while you are transferring data to or from it. Should have followed my own advise. I was uploading to my G3 while plugged into my PC when the phone wrung. So Mr Smart guy unplugged it to answer it. After that it was just a no show. It connects and show up in my folder manager, but when I click the device, there are no directories or files. I know if you do that with a USB drive, you need to format it to get it working again.
I'm hoping for an easier solution on how to possibly reset the USB on the phone.
PS. After restarting the phone and PC - still no show - Doesn't work on any USB ports on my PC (USB 2 or 3). PC USB port working as I can plug other devices into it and it connects.

Hi guys, I'm obviously new here, but I did have a look and couldn't seem to find this answer anywhere else.
I'm trying to hook my HTC Desire to my PC, but every time I connect it via USB cable it says that device drivers are not found and that Windows cannot rectify the problem.
I've tried installing HTC Sync, but the PC won't even recognise that there's a phone or mass storage device hooked up, so it just stays at "disconnected".
I've selected the phone to appear as a mass storage device when I plug it int the PC (I even select this on the phone's display as I connect it via USB so the phone realises that it's being plugged into a PC).
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
I've struggled with a problem like this before (though, a flash drive, not a phone).
There were two solutions that helped mi on two different occasions.
1) Removing all usb devices from the computer. Shut the computer down, take out the power cord and wait for 20-30 min to settle all capacitors. Then turn it on and plug the devices back in.
2) Put the device in the computer as Mass Storage. Go to device manager and see where is the device. Right click on it (should be unknown or stuff), choose update driver. If it doesn't find anything try updating windows with latest patches and try again.
3) I was solving a non-detectable usb webcam, but removing ALL usb devices from the device manager (Under USB choose device, delete, choose device, delete.) Then click Scan for changes on the top to refresh the devices and install the drivers of the usb root hubs, etc. This would probably fix the problem if the above fails.
---- edit ----
Quick note: if your keyboard/mouse are USB, you could hang without keyboard or mouse until you restart your computer, so keep in mind if you can detect them, delete them last
----/edit -----
If you still can't get it to work, please provide results from another computer (if it works there as mass storage), or better if you have some Linux Live CD you could try there if it gets recognised.
Where you try to plug usb cable into PC - front panel or rear? Because a lot of PCs have an issue with front panel usb. Try rear panel

Thanks to both of you for the swift replies
I actually figured I'd check this short fix before trying the more detailed ones and it seems like it was just a matter of plugging it into the rear usb!
I'm definitely putting this solution to my personal FAQ. Thanks, jankos.
HTC EVO won't mount as a drive
verified that issue was with the front USB port. I plugged my EvO in to a usb hub I had plugged into back usb port and it worked like it was supposed to.
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.
I was trying to transfer some files to my phone through a USB cable today, but the phone was not recognized by the PC at all (Even though it was working a week or so ago). I had some issues before with the cable needing to be still in a certain position or it would disconnect from the PC, so I tried using another USB cable which didn't work either (I tested both USB cables with another device, and both cables were working and the other device was recognized by the PC).
I also updated the USB drivers on my PC with the official drivers on the ASUS support page, and tried putting my phone in fastboot and recovery mode, but both were still not being recognized by my computer. My phone still charges properly, but I am wondering if the USB port got damaged somehow so that it can't connect to a PC anymore?

uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Ensure that phone is not connected during the process.
also have you upgraded your pc os ? if yes then its a little cumbersome to get the same working...
i changed from stock to cm, it is showing well now ... using RR now
Is your phone encrypted? If so you need to unlock in order for your pc to recognize it.
Thank you both of you for the help, unfortunately, my phone was not encrypted so there was no need to unlock in order for it to be detected. Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers didn't work, and my PC was already on windows 10 since a few months ago. I would also prefer sticking to the stock ROM for this phone for now since they keep coming out with updates.
In addition, I tried using a USB OTG cable to see if the phone could detect the USB drive and my phone couldn't (it has worked before, and my old Galaxy Nexus could still detect it). I also tried plugging my dualshock 3 into the phone, and it also couldn't be detected (also had worked before).
It looks like it's actually a hardware issue and my only option is to RMA it now. I'll have to do it at a time when I don't need my phone as much or when I am not as busy.
PS: In case anyone else has this issue in the future, quick charging also no longer works
zenfone2 I also experienced that, and I have tried several ways, but remains unchanged. I was dizzy today :crying:
Hey guys, after my phone's last software update I have sort of a problem. I can't connect it to my computer. When I plug it in the computer it says USB device not recognized and I've tried on more than one pc and the results are similar. I tried installing new drivers and LG pc suite (which work but with the wireless connection). And my G Pad 8.3 works like a charm so the problem must be in my phone. The software version which i received is v20u.
Oh and I tried factory reset and again it didn't work. I hope you can help with this bizarre problem.

Have a look here it may help >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/answer-windows-8-8-1-detecting-lollipop-t2967574 <<
I saw that before i wrote the thread but I can't seem to find " ACER Composite ADB Interface" in my device manager neither when my phone is connected nor when it's not. I think it might be something with the latest software cause before that I never had a problem connecting it to the pc.
PS: i even tried connecting the phone to my TV to see if it'll find it like a flashdrive and againt it started charging and nothing else
Hi , my Poco F3 arrived today and i was very hyped to use it but i've come into a problem.
Neither my win10 laptop or my F3 can identify each other when i connect them via USB, i can't even find it on the device manager, on my sister's laptop it connects and identifies weirdly enough but that's an older laptop is really slow and unreliable for anything specially since its not mine.
My laptop is a new one 2020 model and it connects well to any other device ...
I've tried replugging 100 times and i've made sure USB debbuging was toggled on my poco, also made sure the usb config was on file transfer, i've tried installing various ADB drivers too but it didn't help.
Can anyone please help me out with this , the poco f3 is my first android device and i really wanted to put other roms and use the ADB fastboot tools to debloat it but without connecting it with my laptop its gonna be very hard ...
Use official USB cable. Don't use a USB hub. Connect directly to the laptop. Change a USB port.
Plug your phone USB cable to laptop, switch file transfer mode on phone drop down menu, then reboot your laptop without disconnecting your phone from laptop.
Right click on the windows button on the task bar. Click on device manager. Does any device appear on their when the F3 is plugged in. Also as said above directly connect to a PC usb port rather than through a hub (maybe use a Usb c to usb c cable if your laptop only has usb c ports)
