I tried to figure out how to setup adb, and in the process tried to reinstall HTCSync2.0.25.
Ever since then (it may be a coincidence though) my phone does nothing but charge when i ahve it plugged into my laptop. I tried different cords, ports and computers and still no notification telling me to mount.
Is there a setting that i touched that may have turned off mounting?
Did i somehow delete the drivers? If so, what do i need to download because clearly HTCSync2.0.25 isnt doing anything for me since i tried removing and reinstalling + rebooting several times.
Any tips?
EDIT: Ive never had any problems before and i cant remember if i had any when i first got the phone or not.. I'm on windows 7
are you using stock ROM or? does you phone play sound when it connect to the laptop?
everything is stock htc sense.
no sound is made. its like the phone doesnt exist when i plug it in. it just charges. At first i thought it was my laptop, but then i tried my other computer and it didnt work their either..
Have you tried rebooting your phone?
yes, more than once.
Rebooting hte phone with the sd card unmounted (from the phone settings). Rebooting with usb debugging enabled. rebooting with usb debugging disabled. rebooted my laptop. everything
bad data pins on the usb port on the phone?
i doubt that. it worked fine 2 days ago.
Do you have DoubleTwist installed? I tried it once and it messed up my usb mounting and media scanning.
nopei havent installed any new apps between the time where it worked, and it didnt.
one day it did, the next it didnt.
Maybe its a driver error? wehn you first plug in a new htc magic, will it see the SD card or will it not do anyhting until your have the proper drivers? because i just reinstalled htc sync for the 10th time and it still doesnt see anyhting
Can you mount via recovery?
If yes then it's not hardware, cable or your usb port. Likely rom or app related.
If not then it's hardware, cable or your usb port.
well i dont know how to mount via usb, but the screen says fastboot usb when i plug it in.
Nothing comes up on the computer..

What kind of recovery are you using?
Reboot to recovery and mount the sdcard from there.
Plug it into your computer.
Does a removable disk show up?
Try a different sdcard
Try a different usb cable
Try a different computer even!
If all three fail then it's probably your phone (hardware).
Try to mount via recovery (sdcard in the phone, rebooted to recovery and depending on your recovery version... in this example I'll use Clockwork Recovery go to Partitions Menu > mount USB storage.)
If successful then it's rom related.
If fail then hardware (sdcard, phone hardware, computer hardware, usb cable) related
It's not difficult to troubleshoot. We just need to eliminate possible problems to pinpoint whether it's your sdcard, phone, usb cable or computer.
Thanks forhelping me. I appreciate it.
But I don't know how to mount via bootmenu. Il try a different sd card when I get home.
Also I got the stock recovery. Nothing had ben changed
Alright i just put in another sd card and still nothing. would formatting to factory settings help?
But before i do that, is there an app that backs up all my data and then restores it?

Uhhh.... yeah. There are several apps on the Market that will back up your data and restore it. Mybackup Pro ($$$) and Titanium Backup (Free) are the most popular.
But I would suggest installing a custom recovery first.
Try clockwork (use my signature) by downloading Rom Manager.
As long as you have root, (you do have root right?) then you can easily install a custom recovery.
Honestly though, it sounds like a problem with your computer or cable. If you can access the sdcard from your phone then it doesn't sounds like an issue with the card.
yea i guess its a problem with my phone then. I just did a factory reset and still nothing. I tried different cords on different computers so its unlikely that they're all broken..
And no i dont ahve root. Thats why i needed to connect, i was trying to root my phone!

Yup. It sounds like an issue with the usb port on your phone then.
It seems like it's not recognizing the cable when it's plugged in to switch to enable usb mounting.
but how could this happen so randomly? i had it plugged in and no problems, then when i went to replug it in a minute later nothing happened.
It's not a driver problem?
My computer gave em a popup once saying the device malfunctioned or something

It could be a driver, but if you tried a different computer then it's like you said... it's unlikely that all your computers are having the issue.
Just for the hell of it, uninstall the drivers, plug the phone in and try mounting it.
We just need removable storage and that doesn't take any special drivers at all.
yea thats what i tried yesterday, which still didnt work
i'm on hold with HTC now.. i'll see what they say. it's still under warranty
I cant believe this randomly happened.
My HTC Hero CDMA Cellular South, the USB doesnt work what so ever. When I plug it in I get no message or sound of it connecting and it just starts charging. Its a stock ROM, on 2.1.... any help? I have tried rooting the device before but quit before doing any flashing of the ROM because of the lack of information of the tutorial I was following. Please guys I really want my usb back
So your phone charges when its plugged in? But you cannot connect it to your computer to mount the sdcard. You may want to try running the RUU in fastboot mode.

Could you tell me what exactly this does and how I can do it? RUU im pretty sure is the updater, am I updating the ROM again to maybe fix the problem?
Update: I checked the USB cable and swapped in a different cable and everything is working just fine. Sometimes it's the simple things!
I'm having the same problem on my Sprint Hero, running CM6 with Kernel #14. I just loaded kernel #14 last night and this is the first time I tried to use USB access.
It's like it's not connected to the computer...but it is charging.
Ive already tried a differnt usb port and cable so, how can I reflash my rom without usb support?

Okay, I just got done putting GodSpeed Recovery on my hero and toggled the usb and im still getting no indication of the usb working on my computer
You might want to look through manage applications in settings or some where in settings and clear the default for what to do when you plug your phone in.
Do you have a wireless router. You could install adbwireless from the market and get stuff to and from your phone.
Have you tried it on a different computer
You might want to delete the drivers on the computer for your phone, reboot computer and then plug the phone back into the computer and let it load the drivers.

I have tried everything, I have reinstalled drivers used 3 differnt computer with 3 differnt operating systems. is there a way I can reflash the ROM without it being connected to the computer... say my sd card...?
I just hard reset the phone and still nothing...
When you connect your phone and do
Code:
adb devices
do you get anything?
I had this very same problem a few weeks ago. I was using the original usb cable that came with the phone when i got it back in march. Simply trying a new "stronger" looking cable did the trick for me.
Although, I think you have already tried this.

I rooted my Evo with unrevoked3 a few months ago and since then (or sometime after) my phone will not connect to my PC. It will charge but that's it. I checked off the ask me every time I connect option, it's set to mount as disk drive. I am using the stock usb cable that came with the phone. I tried hard resetting, data wiping back to factory default. Still won't connect. Tried reinstalling HTC Sync. Doesn't recognize my phone being plugged in. I want to flash my phone back to stock so I can bring it back to Sprint but I can't bring it back rooted and I can't unroot it without using the PC. I have Googled and Googled all over but can't find an answer. I did a search here and there are similar problems but no solutions that have worked for me. Could it be the cable? It is in good condition as is the phone. Maybe the USB port on the phone? Those went bad on all my Blackberries. I'm sure this problem is expressed frequently but a response would make my day.

I am assuming you have a windows based PC.
Do you have any device driver conflicts in your windows Device Manager? I'd start there. Your computer wouldn't properly reconize your phone if you have some sort of conflict or you don't even have the right drivers installed.
Broken usb is a known issue with EVO, something about how it is soldered onto the motherboard. Are you running a custom ROM or kernel?
Have you tried mounting it in Recovery? You can always use a MicroSD card adapter to transfer files. I just use Dropbox.
You can unroot without your PC. Just download everything on your phone.
Download the S-On tool from Unrevoked. Flash it in Recovery. Check to make sure phone is S-On
Download the PC36IMG.zip restore to your phone, there is a thread with it in Development. Use Astro/Root Explorer to move the PC36ING.zip to the base of your SD card.
Go into HBoot and it will recognize it. It'll ask if you want to update, say yes. Let it sit and do its thing.
There is a guide in q&a about unrooting
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Yes, Windows based PC.
So I downloaded the S-On tool, moved it to the root of my card with Super Manager, then flashed it. Says S-On at boot. I rebooted my phone, moved the PC136zip to the root of the sd card. Rebooted with down vol + power and it checks for pc136zip but doesn't ask anything. I tried zipping it in recovery and it says bad. I tried another download site and did the same thing, doesn't recognize it upon hboot, so I tried zipping from sdcard, selected it, it quickly said some text about updating then nothingness. How do I know if it unrooted?
Edit: Also, I checked my device manager on my pc but it didn't show anything wrong.
Install terminal and type su
You will get permission denied if not rooted.
I have a working PC36IMG.zip in my Dropbox, if you need it tell me and I'll PM you a link
if u think ur phone is broke cuz u cant connect to pc after u rooted it, it isnt broke at all. my phone did the same thing after i rooted it. I don't remember exactly cuz it was a while ago, but u may have to turn on usb debugging in settings before it will recognize it. also u can go into recovery and mount usb to write to it
It might have to do with the drivers you have to install when you run unrevoked. It has been a while, but I am pretty sure I had to install a special USB driver to run unrevoked.

I had this happen to my phone last week after I used my computer to root two other peoples phones.
It makes no sense really, but while in recovery I connected to the computer to move a few files to the phone, and after that it was able to connect whether in recovery or not.
See if your phone can make the connection while in recovery.
Ok, so I brought the phone to Sprint after trying a different USB cord and they said the port is damaged. My new phone arrived today but I need to get my phone back to stock ASAP. I got it back to S-On but when I attempt the pc36img flash it says...
SD Checking....
Loading... [PC36DIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading... [PC36DIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading... [PC36IMG.zip]
Then the black bar loads.
Then it says.
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
I hit yes.
I still have SuperUser Permissions.
I've downloaded a few different pc36img.zip from different pages and this happens every time.
Edit: Probably wondering how I did this without a USB. I bought an SD Card reader and transferred everything through PC.
Try this.
1. Plug your usb cable into the computer.
2. Plug your usb cable into the phone.
3. Wait and listen for the little sound that tells you that the computer sees it.
4. Unplug your USB cable from the phone and wait about 2 seconds.
5. Plug the USB cable back into the phone, listen for the sound, then look at the computer monitor.
On mine, I have to do this to make the autorun window pop up running Windows Vista.
Shot in the dark, but thought it might help.
Noise doesn't happen. USB port is damaged, noise will never happen.
On the upside,
(I don't have 8 posts yet or I would show the download image) Updated version of PC36IMG.ZIP that worked. Just rename to pc36img and it unrooted my phone.
I'm having this same problem. Now, In this case, I hear the noise. Then a second double noise (like when you unplug the usb) This happens whether I am in recovery or not. Also, oddly enough, the thing works on my mac. It's done this through several different ROMS Right now I'm using synergy (which is great btw). I'm really at a loss here. Anyone got any other ideas? Like where I can find it in device manager. There are like 9 "root usb" devices
*edit* Also, I'm using window's XP proffessional. I've tried some trouble shooting but nothing is really working. Also it's being assigned a disk letter when connected, during the short time (like less than a second) when the disk pops up it says removable disk. I timed it and it's being assigned H, but it's being ejected almost immediately.
I think it has something to do with power being supplied in the cord. Maybe something to do with kernal? I dunno. But I plugged it into a usb port in the back of my pc, and it read it : /

When I plug my nook into my laptop it 'briefly' enters USB mode, and then drops it and the drives. It then tries to go back into USB mode, and basically does this repeatedly until it gives up The nook is basically unusable during this and keeps flashing with the usb mode and normal home screen. After this happens, both the Nook internal storage and SD card are greyed out in settings, reading "unavailable", and the SD card cannot be accessed and is not detected in any way. What gives?
Is this a windows problem, a nook software problem, or a hardware problem? I'm not sure if this happened before I rooted, since I basically just took a backup and rooted as soon as I had it out of the christmas wrapping.

Can you please try to connect it to the pc without the sd-card inserted?
Have you tried reloading the original firmware?

The same thing happens when connecting without the SD card. I haven't tried reloading the original firmware yet but I first really noticed it happening after I did a full backup with NookManager on 1.0.1. That was when I could not get it to stay in usb mode long enough to copy the 1.1 update zip into the directory. The only way I was able to get it in was I 'tried' doing the 6 hard resets where I tried holding down shut down 6 times in a row (but nothing special happened so I thought nothing happened). And then I restarted windows and it seemed to work, for a while anyway, until I rooted. I wonder if that had to do with restarting windows or restarting the nook a couple dozen times. lol
The changes I've made so far to my nook ST:
1.0.1 backup with noogy
1.0.1 backup with nookmanager
1.1 manually update
1.1 root with touchnooter
I rooted 3 times in a row because the first time none of the apps worked
multi touch kernal with CWM
then I switched to
OC kernel with fast mode
lots of software additions and tweaks like legacy launcher, wallpaper changer, ES file explorer, adb wifi
Static IMEI mod
Whatsapp verification/install
So besides the USB problem it's kicking ass at this point . I really hope I don't have to restore to original firmware or return it for hard ware problems. So I can confirm this is not a usual occurrence? Let me test it on some other computers to see if it's my laptop...
UPDATE: I started windows in safe mode and it had no problems whatsoever connecting to the nook as it should, and the nook didn't go nuclear either. So I suspect it's some drivers or software relating to virtual disks that is conflicting with the nook, or something else enigmatic. What a pain..
hi guys, just to say that i read and have been reading for almost 2 weeks now on everything i could find and seems no one has been able to fix.
Some threads go on for 4 pages and then it turns out to be the cable etc which i found fustrating as surely should of have checked cable first before posting.
Anyhow, my usb stopped working randomly, it charges fine but doesnt connect to computer what so ever, as if i never plug it in. If i do plug in a OTG cable to the phone it says usb connected and then disappears.
What i've done so far after countless hours of reading.
- Replaced USB connector with new part
- Reflashed a stock rom with mobile Odin pro
- Flashed PURE Google Rom 4.3 pre rooted with TWRP,
- installed CWM Phillz touch revocovery over TWRP
- Tried phone on 3 different computers all with kies and drivers installed, no luck.
- Tried many different cables
- Tried other samsung phones with those cables on all pc's work fine.
- Updated kernel via odin
- Tried to boot without micro SD card inserted etc.
Is there anything else that i missed? Anything else you could suggest? maybe i put the wrong rom on? possibly a PIT error?
bear in mind phones warranty is VOID untill i can get the USB working again. or even maybe because i replaced the usb connector my self if they can tell i opened the phone then also void.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the super late reply as I was doing donkey hours at work due to colleagues not turning up.
Eitherway, I tried that solution for me and that was also a no go. Mount unsuccessful for the error iirc.
Would it help to say that i used to connect my external hdd to the phone previously and used to do so with a OTG cable and when the phone didn't read my hdds because they were ntfs i used a program called stickmount pro and others, possibly could it be that those programs caused an error?
Also i have come to realize that my memory card has now been corrupted and I can't read some of the data on it while in the phone or while using an external card reader.
Could this possibly be anything to do with the PIT? As that's the only thing I think I havnt been able to do?
