Problem with updating Android 1.6 to 2.1 - GT540 Optimus General

Hi All.
I've got a problem with updating my phone. No matter what I do, the computer doesn't see it and the phone doesn't see computer. I've tried different drivers and nothing helped. On the phone there isn't any sign, that it's connected to anything and the computer doesn't show anything too. There isn't even any sound, that indicates that something has been connected to the computer. I've got Windows 7 64bit.
I hope that somebody will know what could be the problem.

Try a different usb port? Damaged USB cable(maybe..)

I've tried on 3 computers. Is it possible that the cable is broken if it charges the battery??
Update:
At last I've got 2.1 on my phone. There was something wrong with the cable or USB port. I had to keep the cable with my hands that it wouldn't disconnect.

USB uses different wires for power and data, so although your phone is charging one of the wires that transfers data could have been damaged so it would charge but not transfer any data.
As for your edit, that was dangerous, if it had disconnected you would have bricked your phone, I would invest in a new cable before I attempt to use a damaged one especially for flashing firmware, stock or custom.

I'll buy a new cable and see if the cable was broken or the USB port. I'm lucky that everything is OK. I'll wait until I'll change something in my phone.
I've got one question. Is there any way to install applications on SD card??

Multiple ways.

I'm thinking about updating to Android 2.3, does it have the possibility to install apps on SD card??

Is USB debugging mode on? Have you tried all of your USB ports?
usb debugging is on and i tried one in the front and one in the back, should i try both of the front and all in the back?

Typically the ones in the back work best so try all of those. Its tedious but it should work. and if all else fails try another comp. I can't do anything of the sort on my 8 month old Macbook Pro but my 3 year old base Macbook does it like a champ. Its really hit or miss.
im reinstalling the drivers right now, i have a feeling thats what it is.. then im going to restart everything and give it a go.. if not im gonna try it on every computer i can get my hands on tomorrow. thank you for everything
e: fail :c
i dont mean to bump this post up or whatever but i got it working on another computer
e: the script is stuck, should i restart it? or is it not stuck? its at one of the copying files things but its been there for a while.. its the 23264 kb one.. sorry, any help?

Few issues (Totally NooB

Hey guys i have an issue trying to make the phone recognize the PC. ThePC recognizes with no problem everytime I put the data cable in the phone and PC but the device doesnt give me options to connect to PC.
Is that a normal bug withing BIOX-v 1.3.1? Is there anything I can try?
I want to flash a new Kernel but with out access to the sd card is many things I cant do.
Any ideas?
The phone tells me is connected but is actually NOT at my PC.
Did you mount your sd card when you plug in the usb cable? Just use the pull down menu when you connect and select mount. If this doesn't work, there was a flashable fix from team whiskey in the development forum. I'm on my phone, so can't search and post link as the search on the xda app sucks royally.

My first suggestion is to reflash your ROM. Occasionally something doesn't quite sit right the first time.

Can't Mount nexus s. Usb device not Recognized

My nexus S won't show up on my computer. I've tried re installing and uninstalling the drivers for it. It shows up as an "Unknown device" and tells me that i should try to replace the device. I'm running W7 prof. and 2.3.4 stock on my nexus with root. I've tried several fixes and none have worked. Please if anyone has had the same problem help me out.

Sounds like the cable. Try a new one, something thick like they have at radio shack.

Been having the same problem for months. Don't think it's the cable since everything worked fine before i manually installed 2.3.4. Tried many of the same fixes as you, also with no luck.

i never connect via usb. you download the rom onto the phone, boot into recovery, flash the rom, then reboot. easy.

Are you trying to have your Nexus S recognized as a USB storage device or a Nexus S device? Have you tried connecting to a different USB port on your computer?
Same problem - seemed to start a week ago when I updated Music app. Tried 3 different PC's and 3 different cables with no luck. Then tried turning off whilst lead still plugged in and it immediately rebooted so I unplugged, put it in recovery mode then plugged in lead and rebooted and it seemed to kick it into life... since then works ok once I'd rebooted PC's. Weird as hell and initial thought USB phone connector was broken but seems fine now. Good luck!

try the samsungdriver , you can find it on nexusshacks.com together with a tutorial on how to install it . worked for me.
Same problem here , just tried switching the cable from my old htc shift and it worked . The one that came with the nexus is having problems , seems to be one more issue for the books for this phone , from the reception , battery use ....
My stock cable didn't support development and my phone keeps disconnecting.
So i tried a different cable, which is from my Nokia N85. It worked fine.
1. try other computer , determinate it is cable, USB port, windows driver or phone problem
2. try delete old device displays in your computer and reinstall, try use "windows update" to find correct driver , by the way , i didn't have to install new driver after i update from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 , so i guess that's same driver
...
and , other silly idea , try to plug it into other new USB port of your computer...
i'm not sure , but sometimes i plug some device out and plug it into other port , windows just reinstall the same driver and disiplay #2 for the same device...

URGENT, unable to connect phone to PC

I wanted to flash XXKPE so I backed up with TiB and connected phone in Mass Storage mode but the phone is not recognised. There is no sound of new device being connected. The phone charges but does not mount. Till a few days back everything was okay but suddenly this problem. Please advice.
Edit : I tried different cables and problem not resolved. Also connected Wave2 phone and it connects, so something in the phone. I feel the Legend-X theme which gives a sound message "Recharge Enabled" when I connect is somehow responsible.
I don't know if it will be useful but I would try to download Samsung Kies and reinstall drivers with it.
@jesrani
did you here a sound when you connect the phone to the computer ???
(a found new hardware sound in windows)

Maybe I can try but not sure if this is the problem. Normally when a device is connected, Windows makes a sound indication a new connection and then loads the drivers. In this case there is no sound but the mobile charges and also the cable works for other mobile.

the charge will work because of the voltage from the USB
have you tried enabling/disabling the USB debugging Mode
I do not have any problem with it dude. This fw is stable among previous releases of gb but results are different on different devices. For instance.after flashing 8 -10 times, I could not root it the way others are rooting the phone. I had to use an agree flashing the cwm. Done ppl have kernel panic making it un usable. I donot have single kernel panic. So its not theme,.may be something else. May be others who are using the theme can opine.

You are right, it was not the theme, but don't know what was the problem. Probably the cable. Resolved by itself. Now flashed KPE and in process of setting up, can't wait to install your theme on this.

Anyone Else Have These Problems With The Pro 3?

I have the XT720 version of the le pro 3 I have the following issues:
1. My phone charges to 100% but whenever I shut it off for the night and turn it on in the morning the battery always less by about 30%
2. I'm able to charge the device and use ADB but my computer's can't mount the phone as removable storage. I always get a device not recognized message in Windows.
If anyone has a solution for these issues I'd really appreciate the help
Have you installed USB drivers.
On your battery stats what is draining your battery.

Your device not being recognised by your computer: Sounds like a usb driver issue.
Try reinstalling the Google USB driver, and while you are at it, check to make sure that you ADB is up to date as well.
Theres is an easy way to do this quickly: @mauronofrio built an excellent tool that does all kinds of stuff including: keeping your drivers and adb up to date. Plus, it will give ADB system wide privileges.
Its called : TOOL] TOOL ALL IN ONE (Drivers|Unlock|TWRP|Factory Image|Stock Recovery)
Get it here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3358711
* If your issue is related to drivers or software on the windows side, the updates may resolve the issue.
* Just make sure to give the software Firewall privileges, so it can check for updates.
* Have you tried using another USB C cable?
* Do you have an OTG drive? If so does it work?
* Is quick charge working?

Yes quick charge works ADB works ( I used the tool you mentioned above already) charging the phone through PC also works. But when I select the mtp option the storage doesn't show in my PC. And I have no idea why the phone battery drain's when the phone is completely off. I searched for others that might have the same issue but didn't find anything.
Oka I have a idea.
On couple rom I have flashed I have had problems connecting to computer.
Try this
I will take that your rooted.
When trying to connect to computer undo debugging in your development setting.

Thanks for the tip at first it wasn't working so I used revo uninstaller to remove all the drivers and reinstalled the Google one again. Quick question is there a cable /cable and charger brand you can recommend for the le pro 3? Because on the leeco cable my phone isn't always recognized on my computer and the other cable I have is from the ulefone t1. That's the one that works but I'm selling the phone so. I'm going to need a new USB cable

In regard to your cable question, I bouught these realy nice cables for only $15 ( and it is a 4pack!) :
https://www.amazon.com/ONSON-Braide...49579&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=Onson+usb+c&psc=1 The quality is extremely good they are thickly braided and the cables come with a 12 month warranty.
One last suggestion. Have you tried everything we have mentioned, But, in a different Admin user? it is still possible that the issue is with your PC and corruption.
If you still have tried another user or computer. Sell it as it is , rooted with a custom Rom as MclBenner suggested. Theres alot of people who are too intimidated to try rooting or learning how to install a custom Rom on their own and they will certainly pay close to full retail value , maybe more.
Good Luck!
