So, I just got a HTC HD2 and am trying to connect it to the PC. By the way, did the TMOUSA HD2 ever come with a cd?
I have a vista and tried to download the Activesync 4.5 but it won't allow as I am suppose to download Windows Mobile Device Center. So, I download WMDC and installed it. I plug in the phone and all I get is "USB Device Not Recognized" . PC doesn't detect it.
I have searched everywhere and tried everything but can't seem to get it going. I haven't anything solid to get it to work.
I tried:
-reinstalling the WMDC
-check and uncheck "Enable faster data sync"
Anybody have any idea? TIA
Is the phone charging LED lighting up when connected?
Have you tried another USB cable and/or another computer?
Then you could boot the phone up in Bootloader Mode. It will say 'serial' at the bottom of the screen. Then plug in the USB cable. The 'serial' should change to 'USB'. Then this might indicate that your computer is viewing the device as a unknown device. This device can be removed and your phone, in normal mode, replugged in.
This may not help, but it's worth a try. Vista has a known issue where it just stops recognising USB devices, even basic ones. Plug your phone in via USB and then restart the computer. When it comes back on it may recognise the phone. If this works then it will be okay for a while at least, but you may have to do this again every now and then.
Vista's basically a bug-ridden bag of gash. If you can, upgrade to Windows 7.
Hope this helps mate.

I tried with a laptop with vista (WMDC) and a laptop with xp (activesync 4.5). The led charging light is on, so it is charging but for some reason device not recognized.
I tried the bootloader (not sure what that does) and it says serial and then I plugged in the usb and it still says serial.
Still not working

I think I tried that already but I'll give it a shot again. At this point, I'll do anything lol. I was so stoked in putting android in this too
does any one think a hard reset might help?
It sounds as though the USB controller in the phone is damaged. I had this problem with my HTC Diamond, and searched for ages trying to find a solution. I manged to flash it with a couple of times with different ROMs (from the internal memory via WiFi) - this did not solve the problem.
I am sure that a power surge from a car charger was the cause of the fault.

it couldn't hurt. i would - see what happens.
try checking cabling first or change the cable
Same problem
I am having the exact same problem. My phone can charge on the computer but I cant sync of even access it via the "Disk Drive" setting. I have tried both AcrtiveSync and the Disk Drive option, unchecking fast data synchronization, reseting the phone, and reinstalling WMDC. I have Windows 7 with the latest updates. I have also tried connecting it to two other Win7 machine with identical "device not recognized" results. The phone and cable and practically brand new. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wits end with this phone and it has been beyond frustrating.

Try another pc... buddy wid wmdc in it... go for win 7
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I am having same problems have tried on a vista pc, my mac and mac running parallels, nothing works. Reckon it is as fred_up says, damaged usb controller which means no NAND Android for me.
Been having similar problems, but seems to have been less likely to occur if I click "Safely remove hardware" in Vista or W7, and remove the device - yes even Activesync (doesn't seem to be available in XP)
Mark
did anybody find a soulution?
hi
did anybody get solution for this? i m having the same problem.
phone doesnt sync with wmdc, nor connect as disk, only charges itself.
message appears "usb device not recognised"
i have done everything, changed cables, pcs, re installed wmdc, even flashed new roms using micro sd....nothing happened.
is this a hardware issue? why can it be charged but not synchronised?
pls help anybody.
Try another Cable. In my case, changing the cable works. Now i m using my HD mini cable with HD2 and it is working well.

thanks,
but i have already tried all that.
today i called a phone repair shop and they told me that
this could be due to two reasons.
1. usb port problem.-in which case it is replaceable for about 15 usd.
2. problem with an IC (?) of the circuit (guess the motherboard) - in which case
it is either not repairable or very expensive.
i ll keep posting as i go and visit the shop.
if there's another solution pls share here.
Some possible solutions to non-USB
Having come here via a search, I'll resurrect the thread with a brief comment. I'm having the same problem, haven't tried them yet but found several promising suggestions:

HTH
solution...
oops...had forgotten all about this thread, until today till i received the notice about new reply.
thanks for resurrecting the thread.
actually i went to that phone repair shop i mentioned earlier and they fixed it by replacing the usb port. still it didnt work with win 7 laptops. but was fine with xp laptops. dont know why...anyway i have said good bye to my hd2 long ago & using android now
guess lots of people are.
good luck to you all.
Hello,
I have a problem with my HTC Legend. My pc doesn't recognize my phone when I plug the USB cable in. I don't get a USB-menu where I can choose between the different modes, the phone only charges...
I have read a lot of threads all over the internet, but I couldn't fix the problem. Here are some things I already tried:
- USB Debug enabled
- Ask which USB mode to use enabled
- Tried different USB ports on different computers
- I did a hard reset on the phone
- Rebooted the PC and phone multiple times
I really don't know what else to do right now. Maybe it's a problem with the drivers on my pc (windows 7 x64)? I don't need HTC sync, I just want the phone to act as a disk drive.
I hope someone can help me and many others too I think, with this problem!
Hey, this probably won't do anything, but mine is realllyyyy touchy, like I wiggle it a tiny bit and it will cut out or start working. Otherwise, try the cable with another phone if possible, it could be the cable, I don't think it'll be the phone if none of that works.
you may have the same problem i had.
see my post.
I have windows 7 X64 and my Legend works fine... the windows no is the problem windows install the legend good
Having the same problem, i've decided like Meocene said, that the usb port is busted. Mine still charges luckily, but connecting to a PC doesn't work in any mode. Windows reports an unknown device for which it can't find drivers, Linux is a bit more helpfull and blurts out messages about not being able to enumerate a USB port. Worst part, mine hasn't been properly rooted yet and still running on a original Sense ROM...
That was precisely the problem I was having - would charge but nothing else. Either send it back 4 repair or do it yourself.
Once I replaced mine everything started working and I'm now running CM7.1 - is nice.
My HTC LEgend like your,
I usualy restart the Phone when i connect the Phone with PC by cable
Hi,
i have a NT , when i plug in the cable to my pc it shows he usual USB mode.
is there anyway to have it in usb mode but be able to use the tablet at the same time ? in other words get rid of the damn pop up and let me use it while its in usb and charging mode ?
thanks
you could try disabling automount... maybe the USB window is triggered when the SD is mounted for computer use.
That is absolutely correct. If you don't know where to find automount, it is accessible through the nt hidden settings app.
ive also been seeing a weird issue , ive done that in the past , but when my tablet is connected to power / computer usb cable to any power source my touch screen is funky , when im on the lock screen i can do stuff , i can pull the bar over to almost get it to unlock but when and if it does its funky , i just kicked it out off of auto mount and i have what i want except touch screen is not actually working , if i unplug it from the cable the screen works ,
any ideas ?
You could also try "ejecting" the device. That might put it in charge state and allow you to continue using the device.

I haven't noticed the "funky" screen on my NT, but have experienced it on smartphones in the past and it was associated with a noisy charger. Try using different chargers and see if the problem gets better or worse.
ah yes you have a valid point i have two NT's one for me and one for my gf hers blew a charger and we had to have B&N replace the usb port receptacle already , had it less than three weeks. I will try it with her usb cable and see what i get as they changed the whole assembly and if it does not occur with her new cable i will get them to exchange it before the 1st ..
Ok here is what goes on with the phone... When its off and you connect the charger or usb data cable the phone wakes up and stays on the htc screen. The rainbow screen displays serial and not usb (even though I swapped the entire case from my wifes mozart phone, which did go to usb from serial in rainbow screen) so the port/ribbon cable cant be faulty. Tried hard reset with origanal 8gb card, tried 16gb card swap and hard reset too.
It goes into usb host mode when camera and volume down button and power buttons are pressed. So my question is this... I can buy a y cable debrand/flash from a well know auction site, but dont know if its a waste of £20? As my phone wont go from serial to usb in the rainbow screen I cant reflash/debrand, does the y cable debranding do the same thing as ansars rom install? Been trying for a week now.
Thanks all... just looking at the big pan spoon now, it will give it more than a scratch I can tell you, so expert replies only as outcome irreversible!
