Is there a mode the wizard can go into (outside of the wm5 os or wm6) to allow usb access? The bootloader seems perfect but I cannot get direct usb access to edit files that are normally in use when windows is running, is there a such mode the wizard can go into?

When the device won't boot, is it possible to connect and access the device's ROM through the PC?
For example, I enabled KITL in "USB" and "Active" mode, then I put the device in the cradle, the PC recognized it as "HTC USB SYNC" and then ActiveSync started but after about a minute gave and error saying it was unable to connect saying the device isn't a SmartPhone or PocketPC.
Is there some sort of MSDN developer software or something I need to connect through the USB in KITL mode since ActiveSync won't do it?
Any ideas????
Thanks!
flash it with a rom
Maybe I should have been more clear.
I already have a ROM flashed onto the device, however the ROM will not boot. Using the KITL layer through the USB, I would like to access the ROM so that I can change some files in it, a few dll's and a bin file in the Windows directory to be specific. I am presuming there is an application I need to install on my PC to acomplish this in conjunction with the KITL mode, however I am currently at a loss for knowing what that application is.
FYI, this is a WM5 so yes it does have the newer KITL version that in fact supports USB sync for debugging according to MS and the KITL menu on my device. However I've read everything on MSDN and googled and have turned up nothing as far as what app I need.
Does anybody know?
Thanks!
I've had my Hima for some time and it has been left in my drawer uncharged. Having got it out and charged it up, it all seems to work except I can't connect it to my PC. Before it was left uncharged, it connected fine so I have no reason to thing the cable is u/s.
I have tried connecting it to my PC running Vista and XP, and also to my laptop running XP. My Uni and my Wallaby both connect fine, so I know it's not activesync/media centre causing issues.
I've tried formating storage ->
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
and have also tried playing with the KITL settings. Within KITL settings, If I select the USB and passive, the device resets, if I select active, nothing seems to happen except the device locks and I need to soft reset it again.
I've tried running mtty but it doesn't recognise that it is connected to the PC.
When in bootloader mode, the screen changes from SERIAL to USB when the cable is plugged in and it charges fine through the USB cable.
I have a 'simple' USB cable to the PC and I also have a cradle - neither allow the XDA II to connect to the PC. The PC recognises it as an unknown device but I can't get any further.
What else can I try?
Forgot to add, I'm running C Shekhar's WM6.1 - Win Mob 6.1 CE OS 5.2.19199, ROM 6.1.1b16CS, date 02/22/08
My Win10 Insider Preview machine did not recognize the phone. Nothing happened when I connected the phone and I could not access storage of the phone.
Below is the solution for it:
Go to Control Panel - Device Manager - LeMobile Android Device (could be under a different name. Choose the one that is your phone) - Update Driver - Manually Install a Driver - Let me pick a list of available drivers on my computer - MTP USB .

Uhm ... when you connected the phone to computer you changed the mode on phone from USB charging to MTP mode ?
In my Win10 x64 build 14392.447 not problem to see the phone in MTP mode after changing mode on phone.
Alternative solution is to use KDE Connect app over Wifi. Bonus is that once set up, it is possible to push files from the phone to the PC without any interaction on the PC side - e.g. useful if the PC doubles as a file server.

Both of my home & works computer (Win10 14959) failed to detect it as MTP or PTP drive. Might have been due to those having previous phone's drivers.
But I faced same problem with fresh out of the box Win8 laptop.
No issue with the MTP, however I can't seem to get adb to work. list of devices attached is showing empty.

I had the same issue, i reinstalled minimal ADB and removed the drivers from my pc, rebooted my pc. Plugged the phone into a different USB port and voilá ADB could see it

Wanted to add my voice here too that I did the same - I had to clean up previous drivers I had installed over time for varios phones and different ADB versions like the one from clockworkmod - once I cleaned that out and installed google drivers from SDK PTP worked and I was able to do Helium restores
I had issue on my Win10 PC, but I found that after I disabled USB debugging, it would work as MTP/PTP, but not for ADB of course. So apparently, I have to toggle USB debugging ON/OFF to switch back and forth from MTP and ADB.
Small pain in the butt.
Solution.
I had the same issue. Drove me NUTS for about an hour. In the end, simply unchecked the USB DEBUGING in developer settings. This will make it pop up immediately.
Update:
I clearly should have read the post above mine first.
I have two issues with my MetroPCS LG K20 Plus and my Windows 10 computer.
The phone has debugging mode enabled, but is not rooted.
(1) I cannot see any Android files on Windows File Explorer via USB. The device shows up, but no folders. I also do not seem able to use any Android-to/from-PC apps that communicate across the USB cable.
(2) I am struggling to find a portable way to cast my phone screens to a Windows 10 PC. I have tried Bluetooth, but the related Android Settings options appear to be missing. I can pair to the PC successfully. The PC shows the Bluetooth connection as "Connected", but the phone shows "Connecting" for a while, and is then unconnected.
Can you suggest ways to enable this functionality?
I cannot install PC software to do it because I might be in an environment where I do not have access to the WiFi network, or am unable to install software or browser extensions or drivers on the PC. I cannot use WiFi for file access for the same reason. Cloud access from a public PC is a security risk.
It seems that LG (or perhaps MetroPCS) is deliberately trying to thwart casting and USB file access, and I cannot think of why they would do that.
I also have an issue with connecting this phone through usb. Windows 10. Says device can not be reconized. May have wrong lg usb driver version not sure. Needd it to read so that i can unlock the bootloader.
Hello everyone,
i looked up similar but havent found a solution to my problem, so i hope you can help me on this one.
My OP 5 fell down, resulting in a broken screen. It is still fully functionally but completely black and i can access the phone via fingerprint as long as its still on. I need to get in MTP Mode to be able to transfer all the Media (e.g. the last year of my kids growing up in pictures)
Dev Mode is activated, so after i plug in my USB Cable to connect it to my PC i think i emember that i can access the selection (Charging/ MTP etc.) over the dropdown menue.
I just have to find the right spot to click.
Can anyone of you maybe screenshot the scenario?
1. After the USB is connected and the debugging window appears
2. The screen when you can select the connection mode?
I tried to use the Program "apowermirror" as well but i cant see where i have to click on the Screen when it says " allow usb debugging" when it tries to connect via USB. So a screenshot of this could work as well.
Additional Info: the bootloader is unlocked and i have TWRP, so maybe there is also a way ?! im a total noob regarding this...
Thank you very much in advance for any help on this.

Maybe in twrp you can with adb command, install adb on your computer and search (google) about the command "adb pull" or maybe just reboot twrp (power off and power with vol down) you can access storage. Have you some security? Pin or pattern?
hi, try the program through MyPhoneExplorer, you can via Wi fi
