Ok! it's over a year now that I'm trying to fix this issue (at spare time only) one of my hermes doesn't like to talk usb. It charges fine but no data.
I got 2 hermes and 2 kaisers all fine so it's not down to computers.
I have downgraded the rom to stock original and used few cooked roms also hard SPL olipro first and then one day no more USB.
So from that day I all I tried is to re flashing from sd card again using many stock roms and radios and cooked roms but the USB simply never give a sign... The only thing I have not done is trying to reflash an hard SPL by sd card but I don't know if it's possible... any one can suggest me anything? It's not urgent as you can see it's just because I hate to things broken and most important I hate to not be able to fix something.
I really think it's software problem and not hardware (but I can be wrong here) I would love to ear suggestions.
PS.
Bluetooth sync OK

Not sure why you are so sure it's software not hardware. If different ROMs have been tried and the problem remains then it's probably hardware.
I'd try it on other PCs that have not been previously used to sync any of your other phones and if they show the same result then I'd be even more tempted to believe it's a hardware issue.
Does Active Sync start on connection to the PC?
Have you tried starting the AS program manually on the device?
Are all the necessary parts of AS present? (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1216804&postcount=1 )
The above having been checked and OK then I would be looking for hardware issues; starting with the obvious:
1
Bent pin in socket (Check with a magnifying glass or loupe
2
Cracked solder joints on the pins at the rear of the socket connecting to the motherboard.

Thank you for replying.
I should try all those steps this weekend.
The reason is because I have not used that phone a great deal. I was just testing some roms on it and one day the USB stop working. Then I come across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922 and started to look for something similar for the hermes.
But I also said that I could be wrong and could actually be fiscally damaged with loose connection. But I never opened and security seal still intact. I will wait till I have tried all the software solutions.
again thank you and if you have more to suggest I would love to ear
May have a solution!
i had that problem as well if you go to start, settings, connections then there should be a usb icon or somthing tap that then disable; advanced network functionality. IF the usb thing isnt there it will be in the system settings
hoppe this helps
My HTC Hero was a dream to mod. I plugged it in, ran some ADB, and it worked like a charm. I flashed whatever I wanted whenever I wanted, and it worked fine with my computer which is running 64bit Win7.
Now the Samsung Epic... this is disappointing. ADB doesn't work any more. It says there are no devices attached and I can't mount my SD Card through the phone to my computer. I can't get the drivers to work properly. I've tried reinstalling the "proper" ones from the clockwork mod thread and also reinstalling the ones that windows update wants to install.
Nothing works. Modding this phone is a nightmare and now it doesn't work with my computer at all. ADB used to work, kind of. Now it doesn't even detect the phone.
Samsung did a bad job. I love the screen and the blazing fast hardware, but the difficulty with modding is ridiculous.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'm game. But if I can't get full control over my phone via command prompt like I could with my Hero, I'm going back to HTC before next week.

Every time someone on here says that ADB doesn't work it has ended up being their computer that is the problem. Either they didn't install the drivers correctly or there is something else wrong. I suggest you try it on a different computer. The majority of us have never had a problem with ADB and as an ex-Hero user I think the epic works just as well over command line.

I'm working on getting a fresh install of 32bit WinXP, but I don't see why it doesn't just work on my Win7 install. I've tried it on XP before with similar (non-working) results, but I'll give it a foolproof trial and try to troubleshoot if it's the computer end or the phone end.

ADB worked on my Win 7 64bit laptop when I was rooting my Epic. Had 0 problems.
PEBKAC imo.

Ahh.. Why blame Samsung for having a phone that that is "difficult to mod". They never wanted you mod it, funny how you mentioned the awesome screen and "blazing fast hardware" in the same paragraph though, but still call it a bad phone.
ADB works just fine if you install the correct drivers.
Not insulting your decision to choose the Evo, they are both awesome, but the Evo won't save you from not knowing what you're doing.
PEBCAK.

But maybe the Evo will save me from this driver fiasco. I've tested the phone on WinXP and Ubuntu now, and ADB works on both. But for whatever reason, the drivers on Windows 7 are not working. I've uninstalled them and reinstalled drivers from three or four different venues now.

I get that now, I was in the process of installing a new OS to test this. I blamed the phone at first, before I got around to testing it properly, but now I know where the problem lies.
I'm not blaming the phone anymore. It seems to work fine (besides the sd card mount, that will only work on linux). I'm blaming Samsung for their Windows 7 drivers. You can throw acronyms around all you want, but I think the problem is actually somewhere in how Samsung develops for 64 bit.
Also, I can praise the phone's hardware and curse the software. That's perfectly logical, by the way.

Thanks for your anecdote. Unfortunately, my setup is not working the same as yours. If you'd like to be helpful and tell me how you installed the working drivers, I'd appreciate it.
to OP, what you should know is, that even without any modding, and running on 2.1 , my epic will always be WAY faster than any evo.
now imagine how fast it is for me now, with my Quantum froyo...
I had the same problem with my phone not showing up on the computer, i know this may sound stupid but it works. I have 2 usb ports in the front of my computer and thats what i tired using for the phone it wouldn't work, so i plugged it in the back of the computer and now it works fine shows up everytime on my computer.. So i just bought a extra usb cord off ebay and have it constantly plugged in the back of the computer.

I agree, that's why I bought the Epic in the first place. I just wish I could ADB into it with my Windows 7 machine that I'm using 99% of the time. The posters in this thread don't seem to understand that I like the phone, I just don't like the way it interacts with my computer.
Maybe their installation of 64 bit windows 7 can ADB fine, but that doesn't help me any. I wish I could get some help instead of being called an idiot. From my experiences, these Samsung drivers are worthless.
Phone good, drivers bad.
my intention was not to insult, just to convince you to keep it, and try to find the solution, which is what youre doing. wish i could help

Haha, not to worry, you've been one of the most helpful in this thread. It's nice to be reaffirmed that my choice to go with a Samsung phone for the first time wasn't a mistake.
I'm just put off by all of the suggestions in this thread that the problem lies between the chair and keyboard instead of anything helpful about how to get these absurd drivers ironed out. Never had problems with HTC drivers, just sayin'.
You can get drivers to install better with one of 2 ways:
1) Use device manager to go to manually load the drivers in the 16_Shrewberry folder
2) Install Kies..even if it doesnt work it seems to install the drivers better
-------------
also if your using a desktop..back ports are more efficient.

That's what I'm talking about. Awesome information, I'll do some driver wiping and see how these methods work out from a clean slate. Thanks a lot.

Good point! My 2 front USB ports are useless for connecting my Epic as well.
I installed the Samsung drivers for win 7 x64 from Sammys site and no driver issues here. Maybe try uninstalling the drivers you already installed and start from scratch?

hiya guys i recently bought a second hand hd2 after reading some reviews on how good it was so obviously i just had to start messing with it and coming from a htc wildfire was expecting things to be just as simple as root and install a rom wich after reading up went sweet as a nut took bot 30 mins total ......so heres the problem i was really impressed showed my phone off to every1 including my dad who was also impressed so bought 1 aswell (second hand so cant get a replacement as the phone is technically not broken) now for the last 4 or 5 days ive been trying to duplicate what ive done on my phone on his but cant get the damn thing recognized and before anyone says it lol ive tried everything i can fiind on the net about the issue ive tried diffrent usb ports on my pc wich is running win7 ive tried his pc also running win7 ....my laptop with winxp all usb ports from fresh install and another laptop running vista all with the appropriate programs wmdc and activesync for xp ......i have 7 usb cables diffrent makes but 3 are official htc including the original cable for hd2 (wich i used to flash my phone) and ive tried 2 of his including his original for hd2 ....reinstalled win6.5 using sd card method and still nothing apart from the fact it charges on every cable ive tried wich to me says that the usb port on the phone is fine it doesnt bring up the menu asking how i want to use the connection i.e charge activesync or mass storage (and ive got the option ticked to ask me....and ive tried deselcting fast connect) it just doesnt recognise the connection and windows doesnt respond at all to the phone being connected even in bootloader mode it stays on serial and doesnt change to usb..... everything radio, rom is the same now as when i did mine same cable but no connection ......i think that covers everything ive tried does any1 know off anything ive missed or know if theres a fix for this issue lmao sorry bout the essay just wanted to get accross that i think ive tried EVERYTHING thanks for taking the time to read
My guess,,, bent /broken/ missing pin in the phones USB socket, or connection fault in the associated wiring to the USB port, so data connection isn't being triggered but charging works because those two pins are fine.
Can try cleaning the USB port, a soft DRY toothbrush perhaps, give the port a close examination.
thanks for quick reply i did examine the port everything looked fine couldnt see anything bent in there a clean might help but looks ok to me thats the odd thing the phone looks new no damage to the port or phone and ive read about other people having the same issue but ive tried everything that has helped others with no success just wondering wether the phones a scrapper win6.5 definatly not a keeper lol
Lol ill take it off your hands before you "scrap" it. ...

If the USB is the only issue you would probably still get a reasonable price for it on ebay.
Sent From My Fingers To Your Face.....
i think that the phone in general probably gets bought for the multiple o.s .....i know thats why i got mine yea the phone has some impressive upsides but i should have read the downsides this phone seems to be a accident waiting to happen dodgy usb, dead touchscreens, dodgy or sticky power buttons and getting bricked through normal usuage .... the list seems endless from what ive read in last few days ....my hd2 seems to have gone fine but just wondering how long its gonna last im scared to use it now lmao
I wouldn't worry about that. People are always gonna post their horror stories but not many come here to say ,
"Everything's fine, touchscreen hasn't died yet..."
If it reassures you at all, I've had mine since launch, its been dropped, flashed numerous times, got soaked in the rain, smashed into a fridge and the only thing wrong with her is a small dent on the bezel by the screen. I'd say it's a pretty resiliant device for what is essentially a 4" piece of glass....

lol yea that sounds like some hardcore usage ......and yea i suppose as im looking for an actual problem or rather an answer to a problem with the phone only natural im gunna find other peoples problems
I beleive like Sam said your data transfer pins are not working. Especialy sense you said it does not ask if you want ActiveSync or Disk drive.
And without working data tranfer pins you will not be able to flash Android. You can flas MAGLDR and cLK via SD card, but you can not flash CWM or use fastboot commands without a USB connection. Sorry friend, best thing to do is flash a good custom Windows Mobile ROM to your dad's HD2 or get the USB fixed.
Hey guys thanks for the advice looks like he's getting custom windows rom lol anything for speed and useability improvements any suggeations for a good custom rom to try as I'm new tink the hd2 and a fan of android not too sure on the windows side of things
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
Hello everybody! It's samanen here, a newbie on xda. NOOOB
For first I'd like to apologize my not-so-good english, I'm 15 and from Finland so please keep the point in the problems and forget my english difficulties
Ok, splutting off and let's move to the point here
So I bought my HD2 (used) about two weeks ago, and right away tried to put WP7/android on it and sync music, contacts, videos and other stuff - but my USB connection didn't, and still doesn't work.
Ofcourse I tried reconnecting, cleaning the usb cable and port on the phone, tried another PCs and total of 10 different USB ports, another cable, Mac OS, Win7, WinXP, SyncMate, WMDC, ActiveSync, removing the battery, resetting the phone, removing SD-Card and SIM-Card, ActiveSync, Hard Disk and Faster data sync options, etc etc with no positive result. Its no fun having a mobile device with no access to put media and other stuff on it :/
Specs and facts:
HTC HD2 (aka Leo), non-T-Mobile (EU version?)
Software info:
Os Version : 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)
Manila version : 2.5.20181527.0
ROM version : 3.14.405.2 (04666) WWE
ROM date : 09/29/10
Radio version : 2.15.50.14
Protocol version : 15.42.50.11U
Hardware info:
CPU : QUALCOMM(R) 8250B
Speed : 1024 Mhz
RAM size : 448MB
Flash memory size : 512MB
Enough numbers?
I think I have tried all the stuff I found here... Still no result, can't be detected on my PC. When I connect my phone to my PC, a notification pops up saying that USB device couldn't be detected/recognized, and it may be damaged. 1 second after it popped up it disappears and if I check the devices connected to the pc, there's no undetected devices anymore.. If I'm quick enough to click on the notification, it shows me what devices are connected and their situations, and I can see an undetected USB device there, but if I refresh (reopen) the window it disappears..
Also, if I use the option "When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a PC." and connect to a PC via USB, it STILL does charge the battery. So my hypothesis is that the phone believes it's on a charger/car kit because its not getting recognized as a USB hard disk/device on my PC and still charges as it's connected to PC. Could this be possible in any way?
Also, when I got the phone and put it on the charger, CoPilot popped up every second (I closed it, it opened, etc) and I had to uncheck some option "When connected to a car kit open CoPilot automatically", so another thing there which refers to my phone being a psycho and believing its being on a charger.
I know there are people with this problem, and topics on this forum, but I think my problem is a bit different from theirs and nobody has really got an answer for this..
Then to my second problem. I can't enter Bootloader mode, or Hard Reset mode.
When I hold down the volDown button and press the bootup button, my phone either normally boots up or doesn't even boot up or show signs of booting into bootloader.
Once I got into the bootloader after dozens of tries, but as I'm stupid, I didn't write down the numbers shown there.. And now I seem not to be able to enter bootloader even after 20 tries.. Hardreset neither works. Same plan - either normally boots up or doesn't do anything. Weirdo much? Can anyone help? :/ I think I've bought an useless device..
Thanks,
samanen
Hi man! Try to flash your phone from SD card with stock ROM. Hope you will get good result! Let me know what happens!
Maybe it is your usb cable. I also can not sync with the cable that was delivered with the official carkit. It is just possible to load the device with that cable.
Your bootloader problem could be caused by broken volume buttons. I think they often get destroyed when replacing a broken touch screen. Do they work without problems inside the os?

Hai there! Thanks for your suggestion! What rom version would you recommend? I'm such a noob with these roms etc so I'd appreciate much if you/somebody could tell me what to use I will try that as soon as I find my microSD->SD adapter (Im afraid it got into vacuum cleaner as I cleaned my room ), also I have no idea how that's done but I believe there's a tutorial on xda.

I have tried 2 different cables, one from the package the previous owner provided me and another one from my dad's N97 mini. Could I be so unlucky that those cables are ones that don't work with HD2? I hope I am If you think its about the cable, what cable would you suggest me to get? Just a basic microusb cable from the electonic store? Also the previous owner told me he wiped out all the data and synced the phone before sending it to me WITH the cable provided, so.. Idk Strange.
No, my volume buttons are working great inside the os, I can adjust vol down and up well without any problems. Also my volbuttons are not sticky or feel like broken so I just don't believe that theyre damaged. Also the screen has never got damaged or repaired.
Another problem - Isn't it required to enter bootloader mode when updating the rom? :/
Thanks for both of you for your replies and suggestions, I will keep you updated if anything helps or gets clarified!
-samanen
Sorry then i can not help you. I do not think it is the cable. I bought one on amazon. It is official htc charging and syncing cable. This just came to my mind because you said that your copilot starts if you plug your phone in....
If you want to install another winmo rom you can do it when connected via active sync and it will automatically go to bootloader. If you want to install hspl for custom roms or android you have to go to bootloader for the installation.

By your info i can say that you have European Model phone. You must firstly check volume buttons, after. Download official ROM by IMEI of you one. As i know sometimes problem in usb connector in phone. I repair some HD2's by replasing usb connector. I living near you) In little poor Belarus))) try this steps and let me know.
Also. If u want i can help you in repair process. Its very simple) i have a big experience with hd2's and iPhones) and other ones. Because i think you boughta bad repaired phone with bad volume buttons and usb connector

Man, do you think they could fix this in warranty/quaranty? I have still warranty left on this one and i think I could get a new one/HD7 in return
Yeah. They must fix it if you dont damaged phone mechanically(maybe previous owner replaced screen) or you dont flash hspl magld android Leo is still The King i think. Here more opportunities than in HD7 On eBay HD7 cheaper than HD2 because WP7 os not good than android let me know whats up!

No, I've never dropped it or anything and when it came from the previous owner the usb didnt work, and he has never replaced anything on this model (his previous model was replaced to this, completely new one because his previous model stopped working with no reason).

Still no reply, wow. Today I got a message that my phone will be back in two weeks. Slow service.
They also told me, that as the usb is LOOSE when you plug the cable in, it may be my fault. wow. So they're not repairing it for free i quess..
My phone is back..
Ok, got my phone back. The mohterboard has been damaged, they told me it had got wet. That's something what's not under warranty, so they're not repairing it for free. The repair would cost almost 500€ so it's totally not worth it. The report says: USB-Connectiong is loose (from other components), also injury with water in screen and motherboard.
Seems that the last owner already knew it's damaged and sold me a damaged one, as he told me it's working 100%.
So, I don't have a clue what to do next. I think I should try repairing it myself but is it worth it? Or worth trying? Where can i get the parts and tutorials how to do this? I think i gotta only repair the usb thingy but i'm not sure - I'd love to get some help now. Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same problem and it seemed that my cable was loose. You can try repairing it by yourself (it's not under warranty) or trying different pc/cable.
Try this : go to your pc and remove USB driver from application control panel,and after reconnect hd2.
Probably us not a cable problem, but drivers problems.
Bye.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
i have the same problem i can't go to bootloadr.
can any one help me How i can fix my hd2? plz
it's the screen stop on white HTC
Hello all,
I want to start off by apologizing if this has been answered somewhere else........because if it has....I simply just cannot find it. I have been looking for hours and hours because i know people don't like reposts, but alas I don't know what else to do.
My Dad brought me his HD2 about a year ago complaining that he didn't want windows mobile anymore and he had actually been trying to install android following the instructions here on xda. Well I helped him get it installed using magldr and it has been working great. The other day he dropped his phone about 8 feet and broke the screen. The phone still worked fine, just a nice crack or 2 or 3 in the middle of the screen. He had the phone replaced but now whenever he boots it just gets stuck at go go go!
I have tried task 29, but when it comes to the screen that says current phone version it is blank then the next screen it tries to update but then it fails (see attachment). So i opened the Windows mobile device center to see if it was seeing the phone and sure enough it isn't syncing and i am not sure how to get it to sync. I did read however that I could just take the phone to the bootloader (the screen with the 3 colors), make sure that it said usb at the bottom and task 29 from there, but i got the same result.
I am pretty sure the radio is a 2.15.5* version, although i dont remember for sure because i did this so long ago. I thought it showed the radio on the bootloader screen, but now that i look it does not. It is on SPL-2.08.
Any ideas, thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I am using windows 7, but i do have windows xp mode. I installed activesync in the VM but it still cannot see my phone. I went into the bootloader and connect the cable, it changed to usb so i thought i would try and run the RUU exe and see if i would have any luck, but i am getting the same result. I am guessing the phone has to be recognized by the active sync, am i right? How can i go about getting it to recognize it?
You should try to reflash it with a stock ROM from microSD and see if everything else, but usb port, is OK.
NB It seems your usb port is faulty...
