i have an old HTC magic ( 32a ) with a custom rom on it. Because i got my self an iphone 3gs i want to sell my magic now.
but before i want to put the original rom from HTC on it again.
my little problem is that i can find the usb cabel that came with the phone.
but i have an usb cabel i used for an usb hub that fits the mini usb in the phone.
Should i not be able to use this cabel to connect and sync my magic ( when i connect it to the pc, it finds the phone but only to be used as a storage device ) in HTC sync it´s not registered
Hope you can help me. and sorry if i put this in the wrong forum
any mini usb cable will work. i lost my cable that came with my phone months ago, been using a standard mini usb fine. although i dont use HTC sync, im fairly sure any mini usb will work, do you have another you can try?
i got an mini usb i use for to charge my headset for my ps3 could try that.
but dont understand why i can´t get htc sync to see my phone.
I have the newest htc sync installed so it should run fine on windows 7 x64 with out doing anything special or iam i wrong ?
hmm it should be fine.. but again ive never used htc sync... maybe look at there FAQ and see if there is no issues with win7 and sync.
talk to there customer support?? i really cant see it being the cable..
EDIT: ahh.. just read you are running a custom rom
i heard that people who run cyanogenmod cannot use htc sync, i believe it relies heavily on the htc framework which is pulled out of most custom roms.
sense roms appear to work fine however
my guess is thats your issue...
just gonna try a couple of things first and doing some research before i contact thier support
Will try the other cabel tommorow.
Standard USB cables have always worked in the HTC port. The exta side has pins for some kind of add-on (probably headphones or video) that current phones I don't even think use.
I've used the cable for charging my PS3 controller several times for my phone. Did you install HTC Sync after you plugged the phone into your computer the first time? If so you probably need to uninstall the drivers and plug the phone back in to let them reinstall with the HTC Sync provided driver.

from what you guys say it should work then.
I just have to kick my pc then and see if that works
well since your running a custom rom it will be hit or miss
i know on CM6 htc sync does NOT work as it requires the HTC framework which is stripped from the rom
your best bet would be using a rom built off of a legit carrier rom, like one of the rogers rooted roms, or a sense rom as they will have the HTC framework in the rom
so it may work, it may not.... depending on what rom you are on.... so its not your cable...
atm iam running CM 4.2.14.1 ( it says so in about phone ) i know it´s an old rom.

i have a t-mobile mda wizard and every time i plug it in to my pc it says device not recognized but it charges and everything... i just bout a new cradle and everything but no dice on it connecting and im running windows xp... help will be appreciated
Right click the activesync button in your toolbar and open connection setting. Click connect device. It will try to connect. If it won't, the best thing is to go thru the help thing. Do you have a custom rom?
active sync do not work
Hi there, i heard some days ago (a friend who ask me for help, unloking wizard to change ROM) and his WIZARD was not able to get recognized by PC it was a bad contact between USB conectors and cable, so he sent phone to repairs and then he was able to sync and then to migrate from WM5 to WM6.1
perhaps is a connectors trouble.....
What version of Activesync are you using? If it's 4.5, you should be good to go. I have seen problems with older versions.
Also, check Activesync on your phone. Make sure you don't already have two accounts created, because that's the limit on your phone.
If not, try different USB Cables and different USB ports (or test those things on a different device with microUSB connection) before assuming the connector on the phone is bad.
as far as i know the phone is completely factory no upgrades or anything i tried to do the connect thing thru active sync where it looks for my phone still no connection and i bought a new cradle and usb cords all together and it still doesn't work...
Hi everyone,
Since I'm new with this phone (just bought it few days ago) I really need your assistance.
My problem is probably with the usb drivers (Mass storage device). I'm running on Vista Ultimate SP2. When I connect the phone, and go to the notifications, there are two (as supposed to be). HTC Sync and the one with the USB connection. Well the one with the USB connection appears and disappears all the time.
As a result I can't sync since there is a problem with the USB driver. When I disable the Mass storage device (this is the one responsible for that), I can sync. The problem is I can't use my phone as a storage card in order to copy files. In advance I'm saying that I tried to mount the sd card...nothing.
I've tried the phone on other pcs, XP and vista... it workds everywhere fine. The notification with the USB connection is not disappearing.
Tried everything, rolling back the driver, updating etc. nothing!!
PLEASE HELP ME!!
Thanks in advance
Also remember than not all USB cables are the same.
I'm not using the original one as I lost it with the original box.
But while the Nokia DKE-2 works great for all functions, my camera and my USB HD mini-USB cable only support few features.
All of them can charge the Hero, though.
The one I'm using is the original one! Moreover, the phone connects properly with other pcs!

So the problem is Vista.
I personally used XP with only some minor problems due to the cable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557310
It should not be Vista... I've tried it on another pc with Vista.... no problem!!
Oops, ignore this.
Have you tried different USB port on the sick Vista PC?
Have you installed Andrid specific USB drivers? If so, uninstall and reinstall.
When you plug the cable do you get on the phone the notification for USB connection?
Adding a question to the topic:
I own a Galaxy right now and consider switching to the Hero, one thing that does not work with the Galaxy is the USB connection to my car for audio playback. The USB interface of my car can't handle multiple drives as offered by the Galaxy; e.g. with a HTC snap everything is fine.
So the question is: Does the Hero offer one drive only when connected in the USB mode?
Thanks for your help!

Tried all that mate, ........ At least I learned to flash from the memory card last night LOL,......... seriously though think its broke, its doing the same on 3 different computers with different leads and a flashed a new rom too
Out of curiosity is it charging through usb? I understand you get a connection error but does the status light turn red to indicate it's charging?
Hey
Not sure if this is relevant.
Im using Windows 7 and found that when I plugged my device in, the driver would fail.
If you went START => Printers and Devices, you should see a "storage device" with an exclamation mark. If you right click properties and uninstall the driver, then unplug and plug the HD back in, it picks it up and works till you next remove the device.
This happened with me constantly till I flashed my phone with another ROM, now it seems to work fine???
Hope that helps??
I have exactly your same problem; I've tried with three different computeres running or XP or Vista without any luck; hard resetting my HD several times, changed ROM but with no luck at all; USB now seems to be able only to charge my device. Searching with google I saw some others had this problem but still was unable to solve that issue.
Hope someone will provide us the INSPIRATION to make it work again!
well sounds very much like it's a hardware problem
as in the type one can only hope to fix by replacing the usb connector from the pcb
This likely won't fix your problem, but it's still worth a shot. In the PC to USB menu (different places depending on ROM), I believe the default (especially in the new roms) is set to activesync. This might not play nice with certain PCs that don't have the drivers and maybe aren't allowed to dl new ones. So try to set that to the Hard Drive/mass storage option and see if it helps (no drivers necessary then).
Good luck
thanks but already tied BUT with no luck....dead....only charge available....I even tried deactivating the charge device when connected option, the option work but not the connection......
Ive never had this problem with my HD but have had the problem with many other USB devices, usually its caused by a corrupted USB Driver Stack, and the usual way to fix it is to uninstall the driver and reinstall it, if that dosnt work i would suggest this:
1) Plug in the HD
2) Find the malfunctioning driver and unisntall it
3) Uninstall ActiveSync
4) Install Active Sync
5) Try the HD again
However, because this is happening to multiple computers have you considered the fact that your port on the HD may be dirty, use a cotton swap with an alcohol based cleaner (you can use acetone, but be careful not to touch the plastic parts of your HD it will probably eat it).
I've searched, debugged, tried this that and just about everything (I think)
At this point I can't flash any new ROMS to my phone(s), simliar thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794879
Phone info:
- Currently using the latest (which is a little dated) MDJ Gingerbread NAND ROM
- Windows does detect the phone, in the bootloader I can get 'USB' to appear
- I can load files in windows by mounting the SD card, it will charge via USB
- I just can't get WDMC/Activsync to detect the phones, at one point it worked fine, but I used the MDJ ROM for so long and now that I am finally trying to flash something else I'm stuck
I've tried:
-Different USB cables
-Different USB ports
-Different computers
-Different phones! (I have 2 HD2's)
-Different OS's (Win 7 x64 & Win XP x64)
-Unstalling/Re-installing WDMC/Activesync
-Uninstalling USB drivers, letting OS load them again
At this point I'm ready to throw in the towel, some other threads have mentioned a 'damaged usb controller' in the phone. I've used a iGo car charger on both of these phones and hate to think they are actually damaged.
Wanted to throw this out there before I start figuring out what my next phone is going to be - hate to ditch my HD2, but I am dying to get an updated ROM loaded
Any ideas??
if you are using android have you tried htc sync for android rather than windows?
I had HTC Sync installed at one point, but honestly didn't really troubleshoot much w/ it.
Hoping this is what I need - thanks
I have exactly the same problem. please let me know if and how you resolved it...
HTC Sync will corrupt Outlook's Contacts - at least it did a couple months ago (can't say if it's been fixed or not), confirmed by HTC, but they accept no liability for any of it.
Try MyPhoneExplorer - it does more than I need, but it syncs:

Hi, myphoneexplorer works perfect. Do you have an exchange account via owa? Than just sync via internet.

Just get or borrow another cable to confirm your suspicion.

You must test if cable is for charging only or it can accept data transfers.
Test with a multimeter if all pins form one side are shortcutted with the corresponding one on the other side. If only side pins are connected and not the central pins, the cable is only for charging mode.
USB CABLE PROBLEM (HTC HD2) Using WIN XP.
Hi, I have T-Mobile HTC HD2 US with Typhoon cyangenmod v3.3.2[2.3.4]. Everything was going perfect for a week or so. Whenever i connect one end of USB cable to my phone & other one to PC, It only charges the phone but i can't access my phone through it. However, in the first week when i connected USB cable, My phone always pops out a msg like (USB connected) Turn on USB or Turn off USB. But i can't see this option anymore And i am really pissed off.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!
