I tried to figure out how to setup adb, and in the process tried to reinstall HTCSync2.0.25.
Ever since then (it may be a coincidence though) my phone does nothing but charge when i ahve it plugged into my laptop. I tried different cords, ports and computers and still no notification telling me to mount.
Is there a setting that i touched that may have turned off mounting?
Did i somehow delete the drivers? If so, what do i need to download because clearly HTCSync2.0.25 isnt doing anything for me since i tried removing and reinstalling + rebooting several times.
Any tips?
EDIT: Ive never had any problems before and i cant remember if i had any when i first got the phone or not.. I'm on windows 7
are you using stock ROM or? does you phone play sound when it connect to the laptop?
everything is stock htc sense.
no sound is made. its like the phone doesnt exist when i plug it in. it just charges. At first i thought it was my laptop, but then i tried my other computer and it didnt work their either..
Have you tried rebooting your phone?
yes, more than once.
Rebooting hte phone with the sd card unmounted (from the phone settings). Rebooting with usb debugging enabled. rebooting with usb debugging disabled. rebooted my laptop. everything
bad data pins on the usb port on the phone?
i doubt that. it worked fine 2 days ago.
Do you have DoubleTwist installed? I tried it once and it messed up my usb mounting and media scanning.
nopei havent installed any new apps between the time where it worked, and it didnt.
one day it did, the next it didnt.
Maybe its a driver error? wehn you first plug in a new htc magic, will it see the SD card or will it not do anyhting until your have the proper drivers? because i just reinstalled htc sync for the 10th time and it still doesnt see anyhting
Can you mount via recovery?
If yes then it's not hardware, cable or your usb port. Likely rom or app related.
If not then it's hardware, cable or your usb port.
well i dont know how to mount via usb, but the screen says fastboot usb when i plug it in.
Nothing comes up on the computer..

What kind of recovery are you using?
Reboot to recovery and mount the sdcard from there.
Plug it into your computer.
Does a removable disk show up?
Try a different sdcard
Try a different usb cable
Try a different computer even!
If all three fail then it's probably your phone (hardware).
Try to mount via recovery (sdcard in the phone, rebooted to recovery and depending on your recovery version... in this example I'll use Clockwork Recovery go to Partitions Menu > mount USB storage.)
If successful then it's rom related.
If fail then hardware (sdcard, phone hardware, computer hardware, usb cable) related
It's not difficult to troubleshoot. We just need to eliminate possible problems to pinpoint whether it's your sdcard, phone, usb cable or computer.
Thanks forhelping me. I appreciate it.
But I don't know how to mount via bootmenu. Il try a different sd card when I get home.
Also I got the stock recovery. Nothing had ben changed
Alright i just put in another sd card and still nothing. would formatting to factory settings help?
But before i do that, is there an app that backs up all my data and then restores it?

Uhhh.... yeah. There are several apps on the Market that will back up your data and restore it. Mybackup Pro ($$$) and Titanium Backup (Free) are the most popular.
But I would suggest installing a custom recovery first.
Try clockwork (use my signature) by downloading Rom Manager.
As long as you have root, (you do have root right?) then you can easily install a custom recovery.
Honestly though, it sounds like a problem with your computer or cable. If you can access the sdcard from your phone then it doesn't sounds like an issue with the card.
yea i guess its a problem with my phone then. I just did a factory reset and still nothing. I tried different cords on different computers so its unlikely that they're all broken..
And no i dont ahve root. Thats why i needed to connect, i was trying to root my phone!

Yup. It sounds like an issue with the usb port on your phone then.
It seems like it's not recognizing the cable when it's plugged in to switch to enable usb mounting.
but how could this happen so randomly? i had it plugged in and no problems, then when i went to replug it in a minute later nothing happened.
It's not a driver problem?
My computer gave em a popup once saying the device malfunctioned or something

It could be a driver, but if you tried a different computer then it's like you said... it's unlikely that all your computers are having the issue.
Just for the hell of it, uninstall the drivers, plug the phone in and try mounting it.
We just need removable storage and that doesn't take any special drivers at all.
yea thats what i tried yesterday, which still didnt work
i'm on hold with HTC now.. i'll see what they say. it's still under warranty
I cant believe this randomly happened.
Hi
Yesterday I S-Offed my Wildfire and instelled CM7 rom.
But today I wanted to transfer some music to my phone and i couldn't do it.
When i plug USB cable into PC, my phone just charges and can't do anything more because phone doesn't show that it is plugged by USB. Just USB debugging turns on but I can't transfer anything to my phone.
Yesterday it was all OK but I flashed google apps and Jacob's kernel(v4.2). Maybe that is a problem.
I'm waiting for advice
I have a similar problem.
The phone also shows connect via usb option.
But on doing that, the phone does not show up on my pc.
When I go to "Disk Management" in computer management on windows 7, the disk shows up but I can't assign a drive letter to it and hence it is not accesible.
Can any1 help with the problem ?
Forgot to mention.
The problem does not appear when I connect my wildfire to my mac.
It shows up as as a disk drive when mounted.
I had a similar problem after installing CM7 so I got Multi Mount Sd-Card Lite from the market, put the widget on homescreen and click it each time i mounted my usb.
Hope it solves your problem!

Don't flash Jacob's Kernel v4.2. Keep the stock one.
Thanks for advices
I re-installed CM7 and kept kernel which comes with rom.
Now I have NO problem with that.
So it was kernel problem.
The probem:
USB Mass Storage not working in Recovery. I tried everything, reflashing different recovery but its not working, it doesn't give an error message. When card is not inside however it does complain. SdCard is fine because I can flash zips that are on it. Tested on both windows and ubuntu. tried another card as well
USB Mount doesn't work in CM7.2 or any rom or nand restore i've done recently. I had Insomnia at some point, then inferno, then cm 7.1, none of these restores work. Again here no errors, I do not even see the sign for usb detection. usb debugging is enabled/disabled no difference. phone however still charges though.
I'm on a trip right now, but I've not had the chance yet to get another usb cable but the two I have dont work.

He has tried two cables, so I would tend to lean toward the port.

i am in the same boat. looks like my charging port is bad. anyway to replace the charging port? i am not good with soldering
it's not ur usb port
it's htc.. htc devices doesn't support usb host feature.
If you have a rom and kernal that do support usb host then try powering the usb as the htc devices do not provide power out.. use usb Y cable

What? He isn't trying to host the connection. He is trying to use his phone as a USB mass storage device.
Where did you get USB host from in his questions?

Hi all,
I am having the same problem, except perhaps with a different cause. My user account on Windows 7 became corrupt and I can no longer log in, so I had to create a new one.
On the new account, my myTouch 4G is not recognized for mass storage/disk drive mode via USB. The USB cable does work, the port is okay, and I've used both with other devices. The myTouch shows as charging when connected to the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all of the myTouch drivers, restarted computer and phone, to no avail.
When it is connected in USB, it shows as generic "Drive F" and is inaccessible. When I check properties it says mytouch4g. When I check "Devices" it is recognized as portable storage. I have tried with USB debugging on and off, and have set "connected to computer" mode to disk drive.
Any thoughts? I thought possibly loading the generic ADB driver again might help, but I cannot get to the stage where I can force it to load that driver instead of the HTC one.
Loaded Android on my HTC HD2. Had issues with android, so I went back to Windows. Used the following to load Android
SPL-2.08.HSPL
Radio that support 576 MB RAM
DFT MAGLDR Bootloader v1.13
ClockworkMod Recovery v1.3
Now want to load android ROM again, but USB port will not work when I power on phone holding down volume button. Goes into multi colored screen but I never get USB in the white field. USB works fine when phone is being charged. When plugged into USB port on computer when in Windows mobile, PC does not recognize phone. Searched forums and it seems like a lot of people are having this issue, but no one seems to have the solution to the problem. Was hoping someone could help with this. Thanks!
Are you sure you have Active Sync or Windows Mobile Device Center installed on your computer? You have to have the correct version of this to have the correct drivers on your computer.

Yes, I have WMDC installed. My bigger concern is why the connection will not change from serial to USB when I boot into the multi colored screen by holding down the volume button while powering on the phone. If I have the USB plugged in when I'm booting to the multi colored screen, it just displays a white screen where it should say serial or USB.

If I am understanding you correct if you have the USB plugged in when you boot to bootloader(multicolor screen) it only displays a white screen. Does it x the Sam thing if you boot to bootloader and then connect your USB cable? Also I reread your first post and I see you also say your computer does not recognize the device when you are booted into a Windows Mobile ROM and you plug the device in via USB. Now this is really not good as it might mean your micro USB port on the device nolonger is functioning for data transfer. I suggest you connect your device via USB and then go to Control Panel and open Device Manager and seecwhat your device is listed as there, post it back here in this thread too pleased. I have a feeling though that you are just having a driver issue.

If I boot to bootloader and and then connect USB cable, it stays on serial and never changes to USB. When I plug it into my computer, the light comes on to show it is charging, but the computer never sees it. Even if I scan for HW changes, it never sees the device. Windows doesn't make the sound it normally does when you plug a device in via USB.

I definitely think you are having a driver issue, try this if you do not have a Windows Mobile ROM on your device and see if you can do any kind of data transfer via USB. Try doing some file transfer on your SD card, if you can do this then yes you most definitely have a driver issue. I would then re install WMDC and then boot to bootloader and see if you get the USB in the in the white bar of bootloader that shows you have the HTC Sync connection.
Unable to do any kind of transfer via USB because PC does not see phone as being plugged in when I connect it to the USB. Storage on the phone does not show up under My Computer as additional storage when connected. Attempted to reinstall WMDC and it gives an error saying that it can not install the device drivers. You mentioned Windows Rom, phone is running Windows Mobile, if that is what you meant. Thanks!

Man in that case I hate to say it but it sounds like the two data pins in the micro USB have stopped working.
Have you tried another computer?
my nexus 6 will only charge no data transfer and pc wont recognize it. When i connect it to the pc it goes staright to charge mode and the usb trident symbol doesnt ever appear. In developer options usb configure is stuck in "charge mode" only. Ive tried different roms from pie to mm . i reinstalled bootloader and radio, tried twrp back ups and still the same. Had new charging port put in phone thinking that was the problem but didnt help. Ive searched google but couldnt find anything. Any Ideas, really appreciate it thx
When I installed stock rom which was android 7.1 it changed phone back to encrypted. Now i have to format internal drive in order to install a pie rom. Does anyone think that formatting internal drive might fix problem with not being able to do anything but charge phone from usb port, because if that doesnt fix it there would be no way for me to put any rom on my internal drive to install it.. Does anyone have any suggestions

Just to double check that adb devices shows your serial #. If not, it may be a driver issue.
Computer doesn’t see it, when I enter adb devices it doesn’t show up. Nothing shows up in device manager either: Also when I enter fast boot on the phone “power lower volume button” it says “connect usb data cable” I’ve trued numerous cables that work fine on my other phone. So it’s not the cable. After I plug them into phone it still says connect usb data cable.
I also have a thumb drive with a micro usb connecter that used to work on the phone. Now the phone doesn’t see it when you plug it in to the phone. But it works on my other phone so it’s not the thumb drive

It sounds like a driver problem. Is it a windows PC? Have you tried installing the Google USB driver? I've had similar issues, and reinstalling the driver(s) has worked for me.
It’s windows 10 and I reinstalled driver, other thing is in my car when I plug it in to the usb slot for android auto, it doesn’t show up in my car either and it used too.
It’s like the phone is stuck in charge only mode and I can’t get it out of that

When you connect your other phone to your PC, does its serial # show up in adb devices? If so, I'm out of suggestions.
1 more thing.. Have you enabled USB debugging in Developer Options?
Other phones shows up and in devolpers options in “usb configuration” you can set it to mtp but when you hit enter it goes back to charge only. I was on” aiop 14.0 rom” when it happened but it was working fine on that rom , then one day android auto kept saying connect usb, so when I got home I tried to plug it into pc and nothing. So I replaced charging port thinking that was problem but it didn’t help. Flashed other roms and even went back to stock, reflashed bootloader nothing helped. I was hoping someone here had seen this before cause I googled it and nothing like this could I find

Forget USB configuration for a minute. In developer options, under debugging, USB debugging needs to be enabled.
usb debugging is enable also. even tried turning it off and back on again, didnt help.
you know when you connect phone to pc and you normally see the usb trident symbol on your phone, well when i connect it to the pc i dont see that symbol it just goes straight to charging but even charging i should still see the usb symbol and i dont,
