[Q] No USB connection between my HD2 & my computer

I have HTC HD2,I was trying to upgrade to Android, I think I made a mistake I installed “MAGLDR113” before upgrading my Radio to version 2.15.50.14. After I installed MAGLDR113 I connected my phone to my computer and the telephone was stuck in boot mode and was never able to see USB connection. Now my computer does not recognize my phone anymore and I can’t flash a new Radio version since I have no connectivity to my computer. I tried several things but all was useless. Can anyone help me telling me how I can have a USB connection to my computer??
Thank you.

do you have tried to start and hold volume button... than connect to usb and simply install a stock rom (for example from your provider) - this must work... if not - you have bigger problem.

Answered so many times. turn your phone off then turn it on "while holding volume down.It will then take to bootloader(rainbow screen).It suppose to have a cotulla written above the rainbow screen.Now flash it with a stock rom came from HTC site..No need to sync your phone to your PC..Just flash it..Start all over again..Now you can search before doing somehing with your phone.If that didn't help you. You have a bigger problem..

Yes I tried this also but it doesn't work.

What didn't work? Can you boot into bootloader - ie switch off, press and hold vol down button and switch phone on.
You should then boot into a multi-coloured screen and should see "serial" at the bottom of the screen.Then connect device to usb port (preferably one at back of your pc and a different one that you haven't used before if possible) - let the drivers install if applicable - does "serial" change to "usb"?

Do wat d above posters have suggested then try different usb ports or even a different windows pc...For all we know, your usb cable might be faulty....Also did u perform HARDSPL before anything else?

I've started experiencing this very same thing. HD2 wont regognize usb connection while in bootloader screen. I get the usb connection sound but never says usb at bottom of screen like it used to. I've been trying android builds via sd but wanted to try my first flash but cant even instal MAGLDR cos it just fails at bootloader cos of no connection. Has been driving me wild for 3 days now.

try plugging the phone into a different USB port it should work then...

Tried that all day and it said couldn't install drivers, then just tried the same ports now and its worked. I think it was mobile device center had 2 set-ups for my phone, i deleted the older one and all seems fine now.
This is crazy, now i'm stuck on magldr and won't find usb.

I'm leaving nand now cos i'm close to smashing my phone to pieces, magldr usb flasher will not find the connection no matter what i try, so i'm staying with ****ty windows mobile. Not happy but i've been trying for days now.

I am experiencing this exact same problem. Bootloader wont recognize the USB stays in SERIAL. Tried different ports, cord is fine. What is the problem.
Before this, my HTC HD2 would just hard reset on its own ONCE A DAY! Why was it doing this?
Now it gets stuck on the white HTC loading screen. Wont get passed it. I used to be able to hard reset by doing the volume keys down and reset but NOPE... still wont load past that white screen.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you guys tried deleting the drivers using a utility like USBDeview? Try deleting anything that relates to HTC OR HD2, replug the phone in, re-install the drivers.

Of course it won't work without drivers. The computer needs drivers to communicate with the phone. In normal mode, unplug the phone, Google the application, download it, open it, click everything that has HTC or HD2 in it and click uninstall. Plug the phone in, let the drivers install themselves again. Try again.

Ok... i rebooted into Normal mode, downloaded the utility, did a search for "HTC" found nothing, did a search for "HD" found nothing. So i am now installing windows mobile center for windows 7 which should have the appropriate drivers.

Install Windows mobile device center 6.1, problem solved.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App

I'm able to view through USBDeview that my HD2 is connected, however I'm unable to view/open it.. I screwed up by naming the 'temp' folder to 'copy_to_sd_root'..
The instructions confused me. I figured this was the folder that needed to be copied to the sd root... however when i rebooted the phone, I was unable to access it. Any recommendations?

SOLVED
I was overlooking the USB Flash option.
If you are still having problems, let your phone turn on(no multi-color screen), select: USB Flash, click the DAF.exe installation file, follow the prompts.
You're done.

I had this problem and I solved it disabling an option in activesync. I can't remember what was exactly the checkbox, but was in "options" and it said something like "allow usb connections" or something like this.
I just disabled it and rebooted the device holding volume down.
Good luck!

Make Sure Phone is not connected to PC
Goto cotrol panel in windows
Uninstall HTC BMP USB Driver
Uninstall HTC Driver Installer
Uninstall HTC Sync
Unisntall Windows Mobile Device Center
Restart the PC
start the phone holding power and vol dn and now connect the phone to PC. should detect and install the drivers and you should be able to see USB on phone screen.
if this does not work
Delete all the USB root HUB but keep as last option in device manager.
PS: This will cause ALL the USB devices to redetect.
Let me know if this works

[q] help please

I tried to reinstall an android rom on it and for some reason it keeps looping and the computer will not recognize it. I am able to get on MGLDR but the computer will not find my phone. Please I need hel I've been trying to fix it for the last 5 hrs.

If you still can have acces to th MAGLDR, just do the process again and re-flash your ROM... Do a full wipe before and all is gonna be fine

The problem is that the computer don't find my phone. I've tried everything I've found on the forum and still can get it to find it.

Maybe you need the ADB drivers. Does it detect the phone in USB storage mode? Flash mode? Have you installed clockwork recovery? Can it detect the phone in that USB storage mode? Did it work before you made changes to the phone or is this your first Android flash?
Why don't you task29 your phone, install MAGLDR, throw a 150MB recovery image on, stick a recovery ROM on your SD card and flash again?

the computer does not detect the phone at all. It did work before I made the changes. It is my 2nd flash. and the problem is that the phone keeps looping after I boot from nand, iget the 123 and the gogogo and then reboots again

Try to boot by pressing volume down and power. Then you will get to the tri-color screen. Plug in the USB cable and wait for a connection. If your computer doesn't even recognize it there, then you're really f***'d up, I would mean..
Edit: Or you didn't install the active sync drivers that SPL and your computer need to communicate.

His suggestion of this being his second flash lead me to believe he's done that bit already.
I would have to say at this point it's either your desktop PC/Laptop or the cable.
I have a dodgy cable, sometimes when I "think" my phone is charging it actually isn't, even though the LED and OS tell me it should be.
Also my Laptop point blank refused to detect my HD2 a while ago.
Recommendations:
Try same cable in a different PC.
Try new cable in same & different PC.
If your work computers are on lockdown, you can at least take the cable there with you and see if the Administrator policy window pops up to tell you you're not allowed to install new hardware. That way you know the phone and cable are fine.

Yeah, you're right
Maybe it is also the port on his device, my port seems to have a loose connection too as it is not the most stable anyway..

Thanks everyone. I downloaded a recovery program on my SD card , rebooted and flashed again. Thank You very much for all your help.

[Solved] [Q] USBFlasher Mode not operative [drivers?]

My main issue is drivers. I ended up formating my computer with a fresh install of Win7 64-bit few weeks ago, but did this with android on my phone. So now I have a dilemma.
I cannot get drivers anywhere [online] that will let me go into any USB mode for either:
MAGLDR
or
Tr-Color Screen
So either with magldr it just sits there forever saying USB Wait...[never says usb]
And with tri-color screen it never says USB, if I try different USB ports it says Serial and never changes to anything else.
I think my problem is I need WM back, and sync it with WMDC. The problem to that? I cant even flash WM...
Anyone know of any other way to get the drivers for Win7 64? So I can use USB Flasher or tr-color screen.
Hope someone knows a solution...I have been looking for weeks to a resolution to this problem :-/
Thanks in advanced

Try reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center.

I tried that, I installed it and it installed a Microsoft Mobile device driver, but it still does not say USB on the flasher mode or on the tri-color screen...
Can anyone find out the name of the driver/device when they plug their phone in and it enables USB (under usb flasher or tri-color screen)? Maybe from there I can search better names for the right driver...

Any ideas? Just trying to see if anyone knows any solution to this...
Thanks

UPDATE:
Ok, so I had a minor cut in my cable, with only the shielding wire coming out a little bit. I luckly had another micro usb in house that I could try. Seems if there is the slightest problem with your cable, get it replaced. MY USB WORKS FINE NOW . Try new cables if you are having serious driver issues (tried it on 2 computers, thats when I said it has to be the cable.). Could be the simple thing.

[Q] Stuck on "wait USB..."

As the title says, my phone wont recognize when I plug in the USB on to flash the DAF. I have done it several times before but now it doesn't work for some reason? So to clarify it's stuck on "wait USB..." and won't get to the point where it says "wait USB... USB".
Using MAGLDR v1.13
Does anyone have any ideas?

Restart your PC should solve your issue....at least it does several times for me.

yes
If not, you would need to uninstall the drivers needed to perform the usb connection. Then connect your phone again, and it should automatically install.

Reinstall driver and try another USB port, too

I don't really depend on "wait USB ... USB" as it is not very accurate .
Sometimes, I don't see " .... USB" until I double click DWF and hit next twice.

I do get the windows sound when you connect something with usb so maybe the "wait USB isn't accurate" just wasnt sure. Will try it, thanks

my comp never "recognizes" wait usb ... usb
i just start the DAF and all goes well. go ahead and give it a go ... whats the worst that can happen? worst case the DAF wont start right? :-D

Thanks for the help guys, got it to work

What always worked for me:
Open Windows Mobile Device Center.
Turn ON USB Connections.
Connect the USB cable to the phone.
Turn OFF USB Connections.

[Q] USB Port Does Not Work When I Hold Down Volume and Power on HTC HD2

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?
