HD not recognised on any PC

Hi Guys, hopefully someone can help me here it is driving me crazy - well, here is my issue.
Doesnt matter what PC I plug my HD into it doesnt get picked up, i looked in device manager and still nothing. Its like its not connected, but it shows on the phone that it is charging. And does charge.
Can someone please help?
Thanks!

Settings - Connection - USB to PC - uncheck 'enable advanced network functionality'

All that was there is ' Enable faster data synchronization '
No advanced network functionality. Im on Telstra NextG Network Australia with there crappy stock rom if that helps.

I'm looking at a stock Touch HD and you're right- they changed the name of the box. So uncheck 'enable faster data synchronization'.

I did but it is still not working.

I have also done a hard reset and restore to manufacturers default and still not working.

What kind of PC are you using? Is it XP? If so you need to download ActiveSync.

Using XP.. I have downloaded and installed Activesync. It used to be picked up on every pc and suddenly now it doesnt.

Opened Activesync ports in your firewall settings?

Yeah its all fine, its as though the PC doesnt even recognise it. Doesnt show up in Disk Management.

hi lucky
you're already the 3rd one with this problem.
if you plug-in the usb connector, is there a dialog popping up on your hd which let's you choose between synch or hd mode?
if not, welcome to the group of disapointed htc owners.
there is already a thread somewhere about this problem. i have exactly the same, but no one could help me until now.
at least i found a way to flash a rom. the usb connection was working for about 20 minutes. afterwards it broke down again...
try the following:
1. shut down hd
2. remove SD and Sim Card
3. plug in the usb cable
4. do a hard reset by holding vol up and vol down while you press the power button
5. confirm the hardware reset
6. when the hd is booting up again, it will do some kind of customization process. during this process active sync should come up on your pc. cancel the device setup in acive sync and wait until your hd is completely configured.
7. afterwards reconnect the usb cable and active sync should work for a while...
let me know if it helped. i'm still searching for a permanent solution for this problem...

Nope, didnt work at all.
Not even the choice to decide what I want to do pops up on the phone.
Do you think it could be a hardware fault?

I think it is a hardware fault because i did a SPL boot and instead of 'USB' showing in the white box "Serial" did.
It just seems wierd because it was working fine for 2 weeks and then it all the sudden stopped and I did no ROM flashing or anything.

Should I try reflashing my device through the SD card and see how I go from there?

did you try a different cable???
I have about 20 different USB -> mini USB and only about 2/3 of them work with phones !!!

Yeah ive tried all different cables, ive tried ones that work with my diamond but still dosent work with my hd.

Are you getting anything popping up in device manager when you plug it in, in other words does the list refresh like it has detected a new hardware device or is it completely silent? I have seen it a couple of times where a device gets stuck as being recognized as something else. If the list does scroll (responds to the HD being plugged in) do a screen shot of everything in DM then plug the HD in and compare the lists to see if it is showing up as something else. If so, delete the device then unplug and plug in the HD again and have it reinstall the driver.
Good luck,
Gordo

I did what you said Gordo, and it doesnt show up inDevice Manager. Its as though its not even plugged in but for some reason it still recharges off the USB.

I guess about the only other thing I can think of is to plug it in on another PC and see if that computer tries to load a driver. If it does then it is something strange with your computer. If it doesn't then there is something bad with the USB port on the HD (maybe).

Yeah I tried that but still nothing, im sending it back to Telstra, since its within 14 days of me getting it I get a whole brand new one!
thanks for your help guys

Kindle Fire Not Showing Up When Connected to USB

Hey guys,
I've rooted my KF and got everything running. Haven't plugged it into the computer for about a week and now that I do, the KF does not show up and does not even make the dung dung sound when you connect up a device.
What can I do to fix this problem?
I have restarted both the KF and the computer without luck

Have you loaded the device drivers (that come with the ADB method)?

I assume so ... I believe that was required in order to root the KF? Any link on how to do it again in case something broke?

There's a few ways to get to promised land, and not all require the files associated with this process. Worth a shot:

Also, I assume the device is able to charge using the provided charger? Just checking the actual usb port...

Ya, the cable seems to charge but when plugging into the computer, there is no detection of a new usb device ...
Went through the video step by step. It's actually the same video I used to root. Get all the way till you plug in and have the device detect ... nothing. No where to go from there ...
Any suggestions?

Just connected the KF to a laptop and nothing shows up in the device manager either. No detection at all. WTF ...

Just tried a 3rd computer and no joy. Any thoughts?

This happened to me a couple of times where the Fire wasn't detected by the computer as a USB device and Kindle didn't pop up the mass storage message. After a hard reset it worked fine again. Hold down power for 20 sec and then hit power again to turn on.

Did a hard reset and still no luck ...

Just tried another cable ... it's not the cable ....

Can anyone offer any insight?

Have you tried a factory reset back to stock? Something somewhere is messed up, and it would end up being needle in haystack time trying to work out what the problem is. It shouldn't take too long to put things back to how they were post reset. If if doesn't work when stock, then you have potential hardware issues.
It's possible that one of the data pins is having issues on the Micro USB connector, especially if it still charges.

Looks like the USB port is hooped. It just stopped charging ....

[Q] Problem with usb. Disconnects after few secs.

Hello everyone. I have a Samsung Omnia 7 phone that it is stuck on Samsung Logo. I can enter Download Mode using the 3 button combination but i cannot flash any Rom because the usb connection seems to randomly disconnect/connect during the flashing. I cannot enter Recovery Mode so i cannot use Zune. Also WP Downloader shows a MIBIB Write Error.
My question is why the Usb connect/disconnect is happening? Any possible solutions? Maybe try to reheat some components?

There is a thread where people have had similar problems here.
I don't know if this post will help either.
You may have to return the handset to Samsung
Good luck!

Thanks for your answer. I already read the above posts but i didn't have any luck with them.
My problem is that even though the wp7 downloader recognizes the phone after some seconds it disconnects and then reconnects (i hear the connect/disconnect sound on windows). So i cant complete the flashing process.
I think that it is hardware related problem but i want to test every possible solution.

My phone used to do that. Tried a different USB cable and never had that problem since.

Contact Samsung.

[Q] Problem with USB port

Hey all
My Defy (MB525) has suddenly stopped charging, neither does it notice when its connected to the PC
However, when I power off the phone and then plug in the cable it notices, a little white light comes on and the phone powers up.
So the USB port must work, at least a little bit.
some facts till now..
:good:I use cyanogenmod 10 2ndboot for more than 6 months, thats not something new....
So.. What have I tried so far
- I tried several different USB cables
- I tried connect it to more than one computer
- I tried connect it to my car charger
- I've change my rom from cm10 to cm 10.1 and even cm10.2, at the end i got back the cm10- 2ndboot
(after all, 10 is the best rom for MB525)
I''ve done it as it should be done, I wiped data/factory reset, I wiped cach and I wipe dalvik..:angel:
- I even opened the phone to see if the usb connector is connected to the board, seems fine to me but i don't really know anything about electricity and stuff..
what more can I do? it must work somehow, other ways there wasn't a white led when concting the device to usb while it off and
one more thing is the fact that it turning back on.
The last thing when i get into the bootloader it recognaized the cable
"ok to program
transfer mode usb"
is there anything that I can try inside CWM Recovery 5.0.3.1 or Team Win rocovery boot menu ?
the only thing I havent done yet is to wipe it all complitly and install Froyo (Android 2.2 rom) from the start.
any suggestions?
Shani

Seems like I challenged all of you
I've been challenged myself to :laugh:
Any way, my HTC ONE develoer eddition (64GB) shuld be here in less than two weeks so I don't realy care about the defy....
I just wanted to solve the case.. that's the kind of person that I am

Seems like a hardware failure, maybe the pins are loose. You can try usb mount from twrp, but based on your observations i dont think that would work. Congrats on your new phone btw

My Samsung Galaxy A20 won't startup suddenly.

Hi Guys,
Before this happened, my phone just kept on crashing randomly but today, after it crashed, it wont turn on anymore. I only got a black screen. I did search via google some way that might fix but none of them worked. I tried but hard reset or entering via recovery mode does not work. It will just vibrate and nothing happened. The samsung logo won't even appear. I also connecting my charger while doing hard reset but it does not work either.
So I tried other ways that involves a PC to help fix my phone and I found odin. I tried using Odin but it seems that it also does not work. Somehow, the odin and my pc detects my phone but it still does not work. Logs in odin is showing that my phone is "Added". On my pc, although my pc detects my phone (a sound pops up that it detects it) but it does not show up on my file explorer. When I look it up at device manager, it is listed under Portable USB Device > MTP USB Device.
Also, I tried opening up my phone but the LCD seems fine, I opened it up since I though that the connection for LCD is loose. But this does not work either. Now, I am out of Ideas on what to. Last resort is to take it a service center but I try to avoid doing such because I want to learn how to fix this.
Need help or advise on what to do.

Hmm there's a strong possibility that your LCD may be just completely dead. It vibrates and it's detected but it isn't showing anything. Can't really think of more than that.
