Can no longer connect to phone via laptop - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi I have been running Android nand 2.2 for some time now and have been increasingly frustrated by the number of people complaining of a high pitched hiss when I call them , I have witnessed this and decided to investigate , my initial indications were that it may be a radio so I decided to do a complete rebuild and go from there.
My problems have a risen as I can no longer connect to the phone via PC , e.g. I was trying to use the Task29 exe to clean the phone and booted the phone into the 3 color band screen and it detected the USB connection , however when I run Task29 (or any rom for that matter ) they eventually come back after "Verifying phone contents screen" and say that the phone could not be detected
I have never had this before usually connects straight away , however I had not attempted to connect since my last rom build , I am bit vague about the details but seem to remember using the clockwork method to deploy it
So I am wondering if somehow I have messed something up or is it simply a drivers issue and if so how would I replace them?

uninstall the drivers and reinstall them

Thx, I got the same result by trying it on a laptop that hadn't seen the phone before , it all worked then, just for ref if I uninstall the drivers won't it simply reinstall the same ones or do I have to delete something on the laptop itself , or is it likely to be a corrupt driver and reinstalling cures?

sometimes it happens, ihad it happen the other day, i had to remove the device from device manager and let it reinstall the drivers for it to be picked up for flashing again

Make sure you have windows mobile device center installed. It has the necessary drivers for detecting a phone in bootloader(tri-color) mode and also when you are flashing Mag or CWM partitions

Plz help, I got a big problem with my B7610

I really hope there is somebody with insight about my problem with my Samsung Omnia b7610.
A while a go I wanted to flash my Omnia (original version 6.5 from Samsung site)
It wend wrong...
When I now turn on my phone and connect it to PC, I only see the Battery charging. When I turn the phone on I only see the SAMSUNG logo.
I remember that before I could see a picture of a phone connecting to a pc. But that picture doesnt come anymore. So I Cant flash the phone anymore.
Hard reset doesnt work.
I tried Octans. Detect device doesnt work.
I use Win7 installed drivers and I can see in System Management that under phones Samsung MIT's USB sync is installed. That's all the phone can do right now.
I hope somebody can help me. Is there for example a way to get into a bootloader menu like the HD2 phone?
Thnx,
I have the i920 omnia...
I have seen similar problems posted by others,Try Octans again.
Set up Octans to flash a new rom, I realize that Octans sets up diffrently for your phone, diffrent from the i920.
select detect if the phone does not start to flash unplug usb for a second or 2 then replug in. MAYBE this will help the detect process.
Worth a try any ways....
Hello,
If your computer doesent detect your phone you probably need to reinstall the usb drivers to your computer. And with that make shure to install the correct ones for win7, because if you dont you have a even bigger problem.
Hi.
Try this, if not tried yet.
i have been doing many ROM flashings on my b7610 (UNDER "WINDOWS XP").
The procedure goes like this (for me):
Switch off your phone (if not so, remove the back panel, take out the battery and place it back).
Open octans (whatever version), drag and drop the desired rom file onto octans
press the detect button (while the phone switched off and not connected to USB)
After pressing detect button, plug your phone to the usb connected to your system
Phone will get detected
Then press start download button.
This is the process in which I flash my mob.
If you already know this, please disregard my message.
{FYI-I have faced worse situation that this-Couldnot even see the logo or anything- the phone was completely dead for 2-3 days. At last something sparked in my mind - the problem was i lost my boot files- so i d/l'ed it and flashed it successfully with octans 2.14 with four different files - now i feel my phone is better than b4. FYI}
BOL.

[Q] Problem with HTC Magic Vodafone

Hi folks, I seem to be having a few problems with my Magic handset and after reading through all the threads and trying to install things on my laptop, I am now even more confused than when I first started!
The thing that started everything off was my auto rotate stopped working for no apparent reason. I hadn't installed any new apps or done anything to make it stop working. I tried a soft reset with no avail, and then did a full factory reset and still no auto rotate (even though it is ticked in settings).
Also I can't seem to connect the handset to my pc..... I have tried HTC sync, WMDC, and downloaded and installed the sdk thingy but it still won't connect, I am running Windows 7. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to install a new rom, get the pc to recognise the handset, and hopefully fix the auto rotate problem? (kinda hoping that the new rom will fix auto rotate)
I can access the sdcard when mounted in the phone so I can't understand why it wont connect to the phone.
I have usb debugging enabled etc, I have read that much I just dont get it anymore! I even thought of contacting Vodafone to see if they can do an update over the air, but don't know where to start. This is my 3rd HTC device but my first Android based one.
Is there anyone local to me that could help in anyway?
As you can probably tell I'm getting desperate now lol
Many thanks in advance

Does the phone show up at all when you plug it in? Does the charging LED come on? If the answer to these questions is no, I'd try another cable, USB port or computer and if that fails I'd send it in for repairs.

Hi, thanks for the reply. When the phone is connected to the PC, it charges up, lights up and i can access the SDcard in the phone, but i cannot get HTC sync to find it and the sdk program i downloaded just confuses me. I am having problems installing the correct drivers for htc sync and sdk, everytime i try to update the driver, Windows7 tells me I already have the most up to date driver installed and wont let me change it to the one that is recommended in the guide!
I am currently uninstalling everything and starting over, Just about to re-install sdk and try to get the right drivers installed.
From what I have read so far, the accelerometer problem is likely to be a fault with the software and re-installing the rom might fix it, sounds easy on paper but in reality is proving difficult (very) I'll give it one more go and if that doesn't work then sod it, its back to windows mobile based devices for me!
update**
I have managed to get the serial number etc using the cmd prompt & sdk, followed the instructions on how to make a goldcard and copied the files required onto it.
in the guide it tells me to copy certain files into the root of the goldcard, is the root section just the bit you see when you open the card?
the reason i ask is that when i have inserted the goldcard back into the handset and powered up using vol - & pwr, hboot does not find the files, i just get a load of green writing saying file not found. what am i doing wrong?

[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

No usb connectivity in any mode after flashing stock rom

Hello all,
I have a Samsung galaxy S II purchased in Israel from Cellcom.
In my ill advised attempt to unbrand, and thus accelerate, improve memory and battery consumption, I flashed a stock ROM which I believed to be the latest.
The phone works great, with one exception. There seems to be no way to connect it to PC, be it WIN7 32bit or ubuntu 32bit. original usb cable or other cable, my stationary workstation or my laptop, be it USB Storage mode, USB Debugging, that stupid Kies mode, and most importantly because i'd like to flush it back, no Odin Mode. (in win32 - any mode gets "unknown device" status like the device doesn't publish it's name correctly or similar.)
moments before the flash the phone connected in all modes.
I think i've pretty much covered all of the obvious. and there is no problem with my latest sdk and drivers as my Nexus S still connects to both PC's with great success.
SO some info - and what I have already researched.
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928, I gather that the PDA on my Cellcome bought SGS2 is either JIKG3 or JIKJ1. and that it's a GT19100T and I gather that denotes some kind of hardware specification.
the ROM I've flushed to my phone has this name:
GT-I9100_XEU_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XEUKH2_I9100XXKI3.tar.md5
everything seems wrong about this ROM in hindsight but, the worst is that it has no T, and probably isn't very hardware compatible. (though the telephony, wifi, camera, sensors and anything I tried works).
The phone is not rooted as after flushing I have lost any USB connectivity. I therefore cannot try and manipulate system files, to try to recover that way.
I have tried to root with the exploit apk. to no effect. I gather it's a statistically challenged way of rooting so I'll try my luck a lot more during the wait for your answer, and report any success.
**Edited**
the "Easy Rooting Toolkit" on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319653
I'll try to run it as best I can, with the shell emulator, instead of on adb, but with debugging enabled.. although it's not a very East Toolkit, when I use it this way..
I'll still report any progress..
**/Edited**
I have seen no one on the internet with this problem. it's really a very stupid problem to have. but a problem nevertheless.
Any insight as to the moves I can try next will be greatly appreciated.
Any information I can add with my limited usb connectivity will be gladly shared. (my "Kies air" works so I can upload to storage that way.. plus i have a shell emulator installed..)

In ur Device Manager dose it show several unknown devices when connected?

just the single one.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the ROM itself as I have been using it on my phone for a couple weeks now.
The problem exists between your phone and your PC, the PC is stating that it's an unknown device after all.
What I would try is to un-install the device in Device Manager, unplug the device and restart the PC and then plug the phone in again, if that does not work, I would throw in a factory reset of the device itself while repeating the above steps

What do you mean by that? The nexus drivers have nothing to do with the galaxy drivers. Only if you run an AOSP rom you will need those drivers. Not if you run a stock rom.
Am I right that your pc sees the phone, but does not recognize it? Did you try reinstalling kies? And then from within kies tried to reinstall the phone drivers?
your PC may not recognize the device after the radio or kernel is changed. what I did was uninstall every single usb device from device manager and reboot, fixed.

jamesyb0i - I saw that some people have been successful after uninstalling all usb devices, I'm challenged in this task as my keyboard and mouse are USB. I will try it on my laptop as soon as I'll get access to it, though because of the wide range of computer and OS I've tried I'm pretty sure the effort will be ultimately futile.

Lennyz1988 - I see your point about the ADB Driver for the Nexus S, but as for the other advice.
As I said, I extensively tried to run it on multiple PC's multiple OS's.
I did try to uninstall / reinstall kies, and kies drivers.
after that didn't help. I got an SGS2 from a friend, just to try it on my computer.
it worked just fine.

The problem I believe is specifically because of the GTI9100/GTI19100T differences
I'm sure as achillies400 said that there is nothing wrong with the ROM itself. BUT the problem is not with my PC's it is more likely the different hardware, and the hardware driver on the phone itself that makes my phone become an "unknown device".

You could try this exploit.

Don't know if it will work for you but it's worth a try.
Extract the .zip to /data/local/ on your phone and run the commands.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the same problem, and I couldn't find anyone else w/ it or with answers either.
almost all the same scenario except I have an SGSII AT&T I777 that started out as UCKJ1 and is now UCKH7
My phone started coming up as unknown device. I can not find any remedy to the solution.
Here's my scenario: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372171
My guess is I might try to uninstall "new" programs that I added to the phone and PC, uninstall kies etc. and drivers, and maybe try and do a restore or refresh or something on my phone and see if I can get to "scratch" and re-start from there.
I installed winamp on phone and reinstalled it on PC for wifi, and it kept mounting/unmounting my SD card from phone to computer each time I plugged it in (I think that messed with my card possibly giving it "unknown")
Or also when I changed my Kernel may have made the phone unknown. Those are the only 2 changes I can assume did this to my phone =/
any update on your phone?
UPD: My kernel was causing all my problems. Restored to an earlier backup and it had older kernel. All problems were relieved.

URGENT help needed. XtreStoLite USB problems.

Okay. Hi guys.
I'm having some horrible USB connection problems and I've no idea whether they are hardware/software. I'm leaning towards the former.
About a month ago I noticed while plugged into my charger, my phone wasn't charging. Wiggling the cable did little, if anything to help. But it only happened that one day, and after a few beeps and boops of connections coming and going, it had seemed to have fixed itself.
Yesterday I decided to upgrade from XtreStoLite KitKat to XtreStoLite Lollipop. I made a bit of a mess of it and accidentally wiped my entire OS/cache/data before even putting the ROM on the sdcard directory. Fortunately I had already upgraded the modem/bootloader and was able to sideload the ROM.
I say I was able to sideload the ROM successfully, but this is really where the issues started to resurface. The first dozen or so times I tried to sideload I got "ADB not recognized" errors in CMD. I tried all sorts of USB driver re-installations, and installing google USB drivers from the Android SDK etc and nothing was working. Lots of beeps and boops of drivers installing and USB connections being made. In a last ditch attempt, I went back to CMD and once again typed "sideload adb rom.exe" and by some random miracle it worked. But that was the LAST time. I tried again later and got the same error as previously.
Anyway... new ROM installed. I ran through the set-up process and plugged my phone in to transfer over the add-on pack so I could re-activate Samsung Kies connections in order to restore my apps/photos etc.
*B-beep-b-b-b-eep-boop-b-beep* The phone was wildly connecting and disconnecting. I unplug it, blow into the USB connector - try to see any bent pins, but can't see anything. After a few tries I get it to connect long enough for me to transfer the file. Kies reinstalled. Throughout this WHOLE process there has been FAR too many disconnects.
If I DO get my phone to connect - Kies is stuck eternally on "connecting". I have a feeling MTP mode is just broken - as NOTHING shows up in My Computer when in that mode. Odin 3.09 no longer sees my phone at all, and when I connect in Camera mode NONE of the .zip files I placed in the sdcard directory show in Windows at all. But they ARE there, as I can still install from .zip in recovery.
The phone seems to work fine. But I want to restore my Kies backup, add/remove the .zips in the main sdcard directory, and see my phone in Odin.
Please help me. I am scared.
