[Q] cannot connect my hd2 to Mac/PC - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi everyone, I am having a problem about connecting my hd2 to PC/Mac.
Every time, I plug in my hd2 into Mac, it could not recognize it as a usb driver.
When i plug into Windows, it will show as a card reader, but ask me to insert the sd.
I already choose usb debug, choose Disk drive as default connection type, and still dont work. Also, i read the others post with similar problem and they all suggest to format the sd by SDFormetter, but it didn't work on mine.
The only way for me to transfer data to my sd card is using the Clockworkmod recovery. Do you guys have any idea about that and help me out please.
my hd2 is tmous, and using energy rom. and please help me out

USB mount

When i try to mount my sd card to my laptop it just doesn't stay mounted. Right after i tap mount it dismounts. I had this issue on ALL 1.5 builds. When i connect to any other computer it works perfectly. Any ideas? i tried deleting the drivers and re-installing them several times that doesn't work. I think it maybe an error with my registry or maybe some software i have on here blocking it idk. This GeekSquad agent is officially confused
Registry? What is this nonsense? Are you registered as an offender and the court has mind control software installed on your computer? Best to wipe the thing clean and install Linux, then everything will work.
thats way to much of a hassle dont you think?
reinstaling the computer os to mount a phone? noo
there has to be a better way
but if ur meaning to do a fresh install of everything then formating and starting over will work
but whats prob the problem is that your drivers are conflicting with each other
i wish i could help but try to do a fresh wipe of your phone and see if u can install the drivers on your own...again
dumb question, but this isn't as well known as it probably should be. Does the laptop have usb 2.0 or usb 1.1/1.0? And if it has power saving options, see if it maybe toggles to the slower usb when that's on. I have an issue with usb 2.0 on my motherboard (something's corrupted/broken) and can't use windows with it active, so I can only use usb1.0...and the sd card starts to mount but then errors out.
Hope this helps, that's the only issue I've had and it's only happened on my home desktop, works fine on my wifes pc and my work pc.
the usb port only slows down when its not in use after a certain time
the bios is set up like that
but if ur usb is constantly slowing down you should either update your bios or update your system all together and change some advanced settings to keep the usb running all the time
I had the same issue after upgrading to 1.5 w/ apps2sd. I ended up having to upgrade the driver. Windows will tell you that your using the best driver but you will need the one that you would use for fastboot etc. BTW you can always just use your sd adapter and see if windows can read it that way and if it does your good to go. Also did you recently partition or format the card and how old is it?

Yea the sd card is perfect just bought a pny 8gb sd card $20 , but i have tried upgrading the driver to the fastboot drivers that doesn't help, i installed a clean version of windows on a separate HD and it works fine, so i know it's a software/driver issue on my end
btw all my usb ports are 2.0 guess I'll just use my sd card reader in the mean time hopefully new releases fixes this issue

device not recognized

i had my old g1 with cyans 4.2.3.1 and it was fine and it connect to my computer perfectly, now i got a newer g1 with official 1.6 and every time i connect to compute it says device not recogonized , and the mount doesnt come up in notifications bar, its not my SD card i reformated and it works with other phones, i put cyans 4.2.3.1 on it and it still doesnt work i tryed on like 20 different computers and it still says device not recognized im bangin my head against wall need help asap please
idk if u mean u cant connect through adb, or jut read ur SD card.
with adb, reinstall the most recent SDK, make sure all paths are set
with SD, try it with just a regular card reader and see if it works. then move on from there
if u need more details, post more details. just not rlly sure where the problem lies yet.
i cant read my sd card, it works in every card reader it works in other peoples g1, it works in other peoples mt3g, but in my g1 when i connect it to computer i dont get the notification of "usb connected mount/dismount" so i cant even mount my sd card so i can drag and drop files on it via computer (usb mass storage) it charges when its connected to pc just no notification so now i have to carry my old g1 so i can put m sd carrd in there and connect to computer and use it as a card reader
i have literaly tried everything(i think)

usb mass storage

hi, mates
i faced with a problem on my hero,
it doesn't connect to PC.
after cable's plugged in, sometimes I see mode selection dialog, sometimes - no, but in any case, PC writes : usb device is not recognized.
sometimes i see removable drive win explorer, but after clicking on this windows tells me - please insert disk into this drive,
and hero detaches mounted drive with notification about preparing sd card for usage.
i faced with with problem not after next flashing custom rom, but after that i tried to wipe data and flash various roms, the same result.
how do you think this is hardware issue? or recommend me to try another steps to fix this, please

use usbdeview to remove anything HTC then reboit,don't let windows install anything from Windows update
Thank you,
I've tried this solution,
but it doesn't work completely.
Actually, I've tried to connect my Hero via usb with XP, Vista, Ubuntu, OSX
and got the same problem,
host loses the connection to hero,
sometimes host can't connect after plugging cable ,
sometimes host can transfer small files, but when I try to copy large file to the device and host loses connection during the copy process.
looks like a problem with usb connector/controller on device side,
like power trouble, low voltage on usb
your opinion?

[Q] USB Mass Storage mode only for reading ?

I'm the only one having problems with usb mass storage? With all builds from all chef and all kernels it happens the same. I can read from the pc what is on the SD, but if I copy a file Android dont see it , the file size is 0. And new files created in android can't be readed by windows either (I can only read the files that were written on the SD before the last android boot)
I missing something? I tryied dismounting the SD from android with same results
Are you using it in the same way USB MASS STORAGE in WM6.5 ???
I use USB storage all the time and in every andrioid build I've used(about 20) I've never had any problems. There are many people like me that also have no problems, but there are also many like you that have plenty of problems. I'm not sure that anyone really knows why.

Thanks for answering. Do you have 2 partitions on the sd ?
Just want to check a few things:
1: you plug in via usb and select "disk drive"
2: you are not still connected via usb when trying to read the items on the sd card?
3: When you disconnect the usb, you use the usual method (right click the icon in the taskbar and select "safely remove hardware") then wait for the SD card to be prepared by android before accessing it?
Also, how are you accessing the files in Android?

1 & 2: Yes. Windows assing the drive letter and can read it fine.
3: I connect Android to pc, choose USB MASS STORAGE, in windows access the new drive letter, rename a file , choose "safele remove hardware", disconnect the cable, wait for Android to "prepare the sd" , go to the file and it has the old name!!! the weird thing is that if I connect to the pc again, I see in the pc the new name!
Is like Android is working with his own FAT32 table IN MEMORY and not refreshing it.
I tried Ghost Commander/ES file manager/Root Explorer, all with the same results.
PD: I found something else... If I DISMOUNT the SD from Android Im still able to access it with ES File Manager,etc. So its not really dismounting it Why can this be happening with all builds/roms?
I have the same problem. Strange thing is it worked fine fore the first couple of days. Anybody have a solution?
Try using "Rescan Media" app after you copy your files to the SD
Still nothing. I have to boot back into winMo to transfer files to my SD card! This is really annoying,
Plenty of other tools provide media scan as well, like Optimize toolbox, Switch pro widget and more. they all worked for me.
[edit] sorry, optimize toolbox doesn't offer it, it just clears the cache :/
power control plus however has this function as well.

Problems with USB-Connection and SD Card in Android

Hello,
i have installed the Android Rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877777
Installation worked fine, no problems at all.
Android runs, better then WM, but i have 2 problems:
1.Android shows up a message that my MICRO SD card is damaged, and that i need to format, which i did, but the message still appears. I tried to format the card on my pc, but Win7 tells me that the format can not be finished due to unknown problems.....seems that a few other android users have the same problems with their SD Cards.....any ideas or solutions to this problem?
The card worked fine till Android installation......
2.I canĀ“t establish an USB Connection with Android an WIN 7.
I have downloaded and installed HTC Sync(for all Android phones), when I plug in the phone, Android shows the usb connection icon, and Win 7 installs all needed drivers(firsttime), but HTC-Sync says: no device connected.
Any ideas?
Did you do a full format of the SD card, and not just a quick format?
If you did, and it didn't help, try using a different piece of software to format, like this...
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3
There's loads of 3rd party formatting apps that are better than the native Windows one.
As for HTC Sync, you can't use that with a ROM that doesn't have HTC Sense on it. Why do you want to connect to your PC, or is it just to use HTC Sync? If it's just for that then I'm afraid you have to forget about it and try and find alternative solutions. What do you want from HTC Sync?
