Computer won't recognize my Hero as a flash drive..

Whenever I try to put my phone into mass storage mode, my computer won't recognize and it does nothing. Btw, I'm running win7 and my phone is running aospMOD.

You may need to download a driver for windows 7, the one included with the phone might not be right. Just google something like "cdma hero device driver windows 7"

how did this work out? mine will read sometimes and sometimes not. i thought that maybe it was a cable issue. but i am very interested to hear if either of these suggestions worked.

U need to Google HTC hero drivers then it should be one of the first links that pops up if u have 64bit check that then download once there downloaded go to devices and printers right click on android phone then find were it says update drivers make sure the drivers are on your desktop then when u update the drivers press search windows for drivers not the automatic one then click on the desktop after that it should automatically install them

I have this exact same problem but only with the Froyo/GB roms. When I installed a sense rom the USB mode worked just fine. I'll try installing this apk and update in a few since I'm currently running the GB rom.

Its works fine for me on cm6.1 and asop after u update your drivers and once u plug it in make sure u press mount USB on the phone

[Q] NOOB - Trying to Root

Hello all,
Been trying to root my epic for a few days, and can't seem to figure it out. EPIC has the 2.2.1 firmware version. Here are the steps I'm taking.
1. From computer (WIN XP)
2. Installed Samsung mobile usb drivers v1.3.800.0
3. Installed one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5 from firon.net/xda/one.click.root.exploitv2.5.5.zip
4. Phone
5. Changed usb debugging to enable
6. Connected phone to computer via usb cable, keeping phone active my moving around to various menu screens.
7. From computer
8. Double clicked run.bat file
9. It ran busybox by skeeterslint
10. Daemon started successfully
11. Phone is not connected
I’ve tried rebooting computer. Rebooting phone after step 5. uninstalled and re-installed USB drivers in step 2. I know the usb cable is good because I used it to copy all data on the sd card to computer before I started all of this.
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Use a different USB cable. If it's the stock cable... I don't care what it does work for. Just don't use it.
Also, switch USB ports.

Yes, I hate the stock cable. I tried to get a screeny earlier today using the sdk tools, and I barely got the shot before it disconnected. So I grabbed my dads work motorola cord, worked fine all day.

Reboot the phone and try it fresh from boot. Just had this problem rerooting my gf's phone which mysteriously lost root.

Also don't use CWM2.5.5, use the new Clockworkmod 3.0. It will speed up your phone quite a bit with the new EXT4 filesystem and allow you to flash custom ROMs without issue if you so choose.

I'd say it's significantly more than an opinion, EXT4 is the filesystem of choice for the Developers and the ONLY option with a several Roms.

Which I understand and agree completely. But the issue here is solving his phone usb disconnection problem. Cwm 3.0 is prbly not the answer to that.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

While true, I am recommending that he try to root with 3.0 instead, so that he doesn't have to do it later and possibly have to solve these issues all over again.

Lol...thats funny
Typed by Z using the Gingerbread keyboard.

Also if you have one of the newfangled firewall programs like Comodo, you'll need to tell it the rooting executable files are safe before running. If you don't it will force you to confirm their safety to run many times over as you launch, and will stop root from happening because the timing has to be precise for it to run correctly (this was an early issue I had).

Funny yet sad

I just think my situation with my phone if quite funny first off my storage doesn't work anymore but charge still does, so if I make any mistakes I have about 2 minutes to odin anything and that's if my phone decides to read on my computer, I've tried many things to fix it nothing worked lol. I'm just grateful we have a awesome dev like jt and nemesis + others won I can't recall but I'm sure they know who they are...yup talking about you big guy up stairs...you keep me up all night and give me time to be on my phone on xda to make a meaningless post such as this with all your noise, lol jk. But yes thanks devs of the fascinate and all who contribute, and swype for putting up with my bad spelling

I would try to reinstall the phone drivers to try and get data going again
A) If you are using a Touchwiz based ROM (COMROM, Evil Fascinate) you will need the Samsung Fascinate driver.
B) If you are using a MTD based ROM (CM7, MIUI, OMFGB) you will need to use the Nexus S drivers.
Failing that a complete uninstall/reinstall of the windows USB stack can sometimes help. m Additionally, judging by your wording it sounds like Odin working is intermittent. That could be the sign of a failing USB cable.

Haven't tried nexus drivers I an on mtd miui
Sent from my I500 using XDA Premium App

Yup if you are on an mtd rom you need the nexus drivers.

Never updated my drivers. Never had problems connecting my phone to USB. I used USB Mass Storage, ODIN, USB Mass Storage in CWM, etc. Still just using the standard Samsung development drivers that I've always used for Windows 7 for my fascinate.

Thats wonderful for you.

so i installed the nexus drivers and now my usb works thanks alot, but im still a lil confused on how my problem started in com rom 2.1 though lol i guess i will never know

Blank screen through HDMI.Help needed.

I have an Atrix 4G, AT&T branded, but i use it in Europe (unlocked). I have a HD dock. When I'm trying to connect the phone over HDMI (with ot without the dock) blank screen appears on the tv. I'm using the right input, i tried with an LG P990. The phone askes me if i want to use the Entertainment Center or (occasionally) the Webtop. Have you got any idea how to fix this?
System version: 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.Us
Webtop version: N_01.77.37.P
It is an unrooted and unmodified phone. What could be the problem? How can i fix it? Thanks for your replies.

Did you use the same cable with the LG P990? Also, have you tried bypassing the dock by plugging straight from the phone to the TV.

i have tried with the LG's cable and the motorola's cable as well. Also i have tried to connect the phone directly to the tv. Same appears on the screen (blank, nothing).

If it never worked, I would guess it's a hardware issue. The only other thing I can think of is do a "clear data" on the webtop app, but I've never done that so do it at your own risk. Anyone else have any ideas?

If you froze extdispservice with an app that prolly killed external HDMI display check that

or you can flash WebtopMOD v1 or fruitcake

i cannot ever root my phone but i'll be keep tryin'. got a working, not too comlicated idea perhaps?

what windows program can i use to browse phone files?

I need to extract some files from the phone itself (data for certain apps) but my screen is completely busted and I can only turn the phone on and connect via USB. Any windows program I can use to extract information ? My phone was/is rooted

You must always next time post on question section.
Ok back to topic.Do you mean sd memory files. ?
Then better to connect with pc to take all backuo of phone. This is the better way if your screen is blushed.
If you still have problem then better to contact service guys. Then can help you.

Try to use hdmi on big TV with mouse. And install root explorer.
Then you will be able to see all things which you can't see in your broken screen.
Try.
