USB-drive not detected properly - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason, not sure what I have done, my PC won't detect the usb-drive correctly. It does find the drive (Win XP 32bit) and assigns a drive letter, but the drive is not accessible. Also, the phone does not detect that it is in a PC, e.g. the "ask me" menu does not pop up. I have tried disabling debugging, installing new drivers, removing drivers and what not. Works fine on PCs which have never had HTC-drivers installed... Any ideas?

You could try a earlier version of HTC sync

Just did.
I then managed to wipe the PC of the drivers, I think. At least the system was unable to install the drivers, when it detected the hardware, and asked for drivers.
Then the phone should still work as a USB-drive, at least, without any drivers. And it does on other PCs. But not this one. Odd!

try this, not sure if it will help, in device manager look for 0000.001a.0007.003.000.000.000.000.000 or similar in the usb mass storage devices you have

upgrade the driver, select you will pick from a list, uncheck compatible hardware on the manufacture window scroll up to standard usb host controllers, then in the right hand windows select usb composite device! once its done detach phone and reboot pc and try again!

I wiped the phone. I was certain it was not the phone, since other PCs would work fine, but just in case... and guess what, it works. I guess it was all that testing with getting JIT to work under SuperHero 1.0.1 that ****ed it up. Just re-applying JIT again to see if it causes the same problem...
Edit: And now JIT causes a wiped phone to crash. Better stay away from that for a while

[Q] What to do now with stuck upgrade via Kies?

I am trying to update my SGS II via Kies, and after few steps, I came to backup process. Kies offered back-up, I accepted, and now, for more than one our i am stuck at this:

When I try to click anywhere on kies surface (visible and invisible part of it), one can hear sound like when you try to click on forgotten part of application. Phone is accessible, I called it from other phone, everything works fine.
Does anyone know what is happening ? Can I unplug USB cable ?
My gues is that there should be some kind of window which asks where to save backup data, but this dialog is not vissible.
regards,
Zoran
Haven't really used kies for updates, since I always flash my own firmware.
As for being able to unplug the phone, should be fine since you're just backing info up, not installing anything to it (yet). Can you see anything on the phone screen?
Try that and restart the whole process, see what happens.
My long term suggestion however, would be to learn a bit about flashing fw via Odin or Heimdal, and then really go ahead and do it yourself. This method has never let me down and you get to learn a lot more about the internal workings of the phone...
Thanks, Anakondarh.
Phone is completely accessible, altough it is on the cable and on main screen there is Kiess connection information, I can receive a calls, I receive email updates via wifi ... Simple, after I confirmed I want to back up phone, nothing happens.
Yeah, unplugging shouldn't be a problem. Try that, put up with any error messages from Kies (if there is any) blow on your USB cable and restart process. If you end up stuck at the same place, try to restart your PC and just run Kies, no other programs. See if that helps.

Guess it's safe to unplug the phone as long as the firmware update didn't start, no harm will be done if it was just backing-up info on pc. After that try rebooting both the phone and pc before trying to update, cause Kies has several processes that run and if one of them crashed it won't recognize your phone or back-up your stuff. If you still can't update, reinstalling Kies and drivers from Kies again might do the trick. If you can't be bothered about warranty, i guess you can try flashing through Odin, seems much easier than Kies, if you read the whole procedure before doing that.

Root 2.2.3 without pc?

Well... I have a OG Droid 2.2.3. Whenever I connect it to my windows 7, it shows up as "device has malfunctioned, device.. unknown" everytime. I have tried reinstalling drivers, etc but the Computer never recognizes it as a Motorola device.
Also, my phone doesn't charge when the phone is on and connected to the pc, but when the phone is connected to the PC and I turn the phone off, it charges (but then it wont turn on unless I disconnect it).
Also, whenever it is connected, it never shows the USB icon/ or anything in the notification bar. So, I havent been able to root it yet. I have tried on 3 other computers (XP, 7, 7) and 3 other USB cables. Same results.
I want to root my Droid 2.2.3, I have tried z4root app, but it doesn't support 2.2+
How can I root my Droid without a PC, can I use terminal, etc and do it on the phone itself?
edit: just re-read what you typed sorry mate cant help
Tapped from a modded GS2
Tried it. This is all I get in device manager: I don't get any usb mass storage devices, or anything. I get 1 Unknown device, which if I try to manually update with Motorola drivers, Windows tells me they are incompatible and it doesnt install

your best bet is superoneclick 2.3.3. (just look it up or go to shortfuse.org) i got it to work beautifully on my moms phone. plus it works on 2.3.3 (no duh! lol). terminal emulator may work.... but what is the model under your "about phone." im not familiar with the "og droid" and im getting conflicting results searching for it... is it the droid one by motorola?
and uninstall the "unknown device" drivers, reboot your machine, and run the driver installers as administrator
update: what sucks is, if you were already rooted, adbwireless and ftpdroid could solve all of your problems, assuming you have wifi at home.............
i have an idea, post a link to the motorola drivers you have, and ill see if they install over here. if so, its a computer problem for sure. if not, then you probably need to get them somewhere else. (dont know why the source would have sucky drivers when other places wouldnt, but there's no harm in trying.
Tried your suggestion. Nothing. Still getting device is unrecog/has malfunctioned.
Its the Motorola Droid 1 on 2.2.3
Come on. There HAS to be a way to root it or install a custom rom without a computer! Ahh
Sorry. The only two ways I know how to root 2.3.3 and up use comp. Best Bet is fixing your connection with computer right now. Sorry. Try asking customer service? Maybe get the phone replaced. Then you have Shiney NEW phone to root!
ROOTED Xperia Play 4G 2.3.3
Anyone else have any other suggestions?

If you have Kies uninstall it and re install if you dont have it install it, then plug in your phone and see if the drivers install correctly it worked for me last time I had a problem similar to this
I just install Kies and try as you advised, still not working, here are the exact error here. Any more ideas?
Some suggestions here:
-Try different usb cables and port.
-Turn off your phone and take out battery for a few minutes.
-Hope you have nandroid backup your ICS rom, restore back your backup.

Uninstall the devices manually in device manager, don't forget to tick the "delete the driver ' option, now restart your pc and install the drivers either from online or through kies
《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
Problem solved!
I try few thing here:
1. Uninstall Kies, turn off my laptop
2. Install Kies.
3. Restart my SGS3
4. Use new USB cable (old connection still recognized by HTC sensation)
I'm not sure which one if the right problem but I try the above steps and it's working now.
Thanks for the suggestions and advised.
Cheers,

Just install the s3 root kit ith drivers onto your computer, you not have to root your hone, just use the drivers to get it to recognise your phone

No Solution For HTC EVO 3D USB computer connection problem ?

I have a HTC EVO 3D with a very odd problem i dont know what i can do i look to all website in the internet and i didint find any solution yet . the phone It will not connect to my computer (recognized by the computer). The phone will charge when plugged into the USB; although, the computer cannot recognize the phone. I have already exhausted the idea of the cable being the problem.
Has anyone ever seen this issue plssss?
Make sure usb debugging is selected, and you can also download Wifi file explorer which allows you to see your phone contents through ip address (Wifi required)
(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! )
Have you installed the drivers for the phone?
If you have, download adb and run adb devices and see if it shows up there.
I had same problem with my "ex" SE Xperia x10.
It is problem with cristal connector which comes right after USB connector on motherboard..You probably teared it out while pulling out micro usb cable..So, only solution is to fix that with hair wire..I payed about 15$ for that, and it works like charm..
Cheers
I have had this same exact problem for almost 3 months. I have tried everything with no success. The only USB connection I DO have is in fastboot, but not in recovery or in the OS.
I would help any 'new' suggestions also.

Either you need to install drivers manually or enable USB mass storage in settings. It seems odd that USB works in fast boot but not anywhere else. If in windows try going to device manager when connected and see what shows up.

Okay so now whenever I try and connect my Evo to my computer I no longer get a notification on the top of the phone giving me options i change the usb cable and i try go to (Charge, Tether, Disk Drive, etc.). Debugging is not on and I have uninstalled WinAmp and PdaNet which I thought were potential causes of the problem. I also have the phone set to mount as a drive when connected via USB and I also checked the box telling it to ask me any time is gets connected.
what more i can do ? i try it in other computer and laptops non no works
+ i want to root my phone and i cant cuz off this problem

[Q] [U] FXP usb tethering on Windows 7

Did you try this??
I tried it and got it working on MIUI based on CM.....
I was hoping to use native tethering, because I'm still a little skeptic about these kind of apps. Still thank you, if there isnt any other way, will try yours.

You CAN use native tethering. I ran into the same problem. I just did forced install of RNDIS driver on my Win7 x64 to "Xperia" device.
