I'm having an issue where my thunderbolt does not recognize my device any longer. I used to have it set up with pdanet and everything worked well for about a week. All of a sudden, any computer i tried to plug the device into, wouldn't detect the phone. A friend of mine has tried his thunderbolt on my computer and it detects it.
When plugging my phone in, it pops up an error message with "USB Device not Recognized." In the device manager, the phone shows up as Unknown Device. I have tried this on 3 different pc's, using 3 different data cables. No USB symbol displays on the taskbar of the phone when I plug it in, however, it does charge.
What I have tried:
Changing data cables.
Using another PC.
Uninstalling device drivers and letting windows re-detect and install.
Downloaded HTC Sync and ran it after uninstalling drivers again and re-plugging the phone.
Changed different Connection settings on the phone, such as USB Debuggin on/off, and changing it to HTC Sync Mode, Charge Only, Disk Drive, etc
Mounted and unmounted SD Card in the phone settings.
OS: Windows 7 x64
Thank you for any help you may provide.
same problem
I have the same problem with HTC mytouch 3g 32B Android 2.2.1 when I plug it through usb under Vista.
Any suggestions?
Try installing the usb drivers from htc if you haven't.
http://dl4.htc.com/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/USB_driver_20101122_release.zip
I have download the HTC usb drivers but when i go to control panel and uninstall the unknown device it just reinstalls it. when i try to update drivers using the location
ie C:\Users\sxristi\Downloads\android-usb-driver\Android USB Driver\i386
i get a reply
The best software for you device is already installed. Windows has determined that the driver software for your device is up to date.
and it continues to point to
unknown device
Oh one more things i got the usb drivers from Android SDK Manager the google usb drivers revision 4 and the weird thing is that i do not get the trident usb nor the debug icon on my HTC when i plug it in to my vista. I did get it once or twice before but not in general since the usb devices are not recognized. However when i boot on my Ubuntu os then i do get them recognized. so i guess the problem is with windows drivers somehow...
Thanks for the replies.
I've tried to install the drivers from HTC but Windows says that the driver is not compatible with my the device.
Also, I tried on a system with Windows XP and everything worked as intended, but I cannot get it to work properly in Win 7 x64 anymore.
When my win7 comp no longer sees my Tbolt I have to toggle the USB Debugging off then back on. Usually within a few seconds it reads it again. If that does not work I have also used the option to turn on internet pass through then change it back to hard drive mode. Either of those usually work for me. My drivers I used were from android sdk if that makes any difference. Hope this helps.

HTC
My problem continues under Vista OS. I called HTC and they told me to re install their Sync after removing Adobe Air and all HTC drivers and Google USB drivers. I did that and reinstalled Sync and still nothing. They also told me to call microsoft for it seems operating system conflict.
My conclusion yields toward windows conflict. But I can not figure out this conflict. Perhaps something I have installed does not let my vista recognize the HTC android device and uses the windows usb drivers to create this "Unknown Device" under usb serial bus controllers. once it is an unknown device forget about Sync or ADB etc... The phone is just not recognized as android and you can not do much with it via windows.
For the person who suggested to turn "USB Debugging" on-off, i did that and still the computer recognizes that there is a usb device but again it says "usb device not recognized unknown device.."
any additional suggestions???
I've verified that my phone works fine on Windows XP. I still cannot connect to windows 7, though.
Try turning OFF Fast Boot and turning ON USB debugging. this helped for me.
same problem
I have a similar problem too .. i know its not the computer as other phones and pen drives are working ok.
Plus this phone has same problem on other computers too, where as other phones work fine.
So it has to do something with the phone and not the drivers or computer in anyway
I have the same problem, no PC recognizes my HTC Thunderbolt. Now change cable and tried with windows xp, 7 and 8. Is there any solution I can not root. I want to change the rom factory rom I do not like but I can not do anything because I do not recognize the usb. Also the menu does not appear when I connect via USB in the notification bar.

I'm having the same issue, with an HTC Rezound... just flashed a new rom, need to update boot.img but can't see my device via adb or fastboot... have tried changing usb cables, phone is in FASTBOOT mode... reinstalled HTC Drivers, just get USB Not Recognized error (Windows 8 64-bit)...
Any solution for this?
I plug my phone in and it doesn't show any kind of response i have tried other cables and solutions and ever check the Q&A's for anything and can't find any idea's. I run XP 32bit and have evo 4g from sprint. I downloaded and reinstalled drivers. Still nothing.
Anyone have a solutions???
Thanks.
When you have the phone plugged in open device manager and see if there is any unknown devices. Click that device and select update/install drivers then select the folder in which you downloaded the drivers.
Okay, so I am attempting to flash back to stock, or anything that WORKS at this point.
I can get my phone into download mode and I connect it to my computer, but I get a rather annoying bubble that says "USB Device not recognized... one of the USB devices connected to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it."
I goto device manager and check my USB devices and it is listed as "Unknown Device" I look at it's properties and see "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"
So, I check the driver details.
It says "No drivers are required or have been loaded for this device"
So I goto update drivers, browse to where I keep them and see "Windows has determined the drivers for this device are up to date."
I have reinstalled all my drivers using various methods. I have tried new USB cables and all of my USB ports.
No matter what I do ODIN won't see my phone. Nothing shows up under any of the usual COMs
PLEASE HELP! WHAT SHOULD I DO?! D':

If you're running anything Gingerbread, you need to download and install the Nexus S Drivers to get your pc to recognize your phone in dl mode.
Didn't work. Could you link me to the the drivers?
I got mine from androiddrivers.net/samsung-android-drivers/download-nexus-s-drivers/
I GOT IT!
Upon taking a closer look at things.... literally. I found a very small piece of what appeared to be pocket lint lodged in my phone's port. Pulled it out and immediately regained functionality! SO, words of wisdom from hours of frustration "Look in the hole"

Those are probably the right ones, however I got mine directly from the drivers folder in thr Android sdk gingerbread update. Are you getting an error when you try to install the drivers you downloaded?

Thanks for the help though!
Just download the drivers. click usb debugging. it should pop up.
I installed the drivers for the phone (v3.0.0.007 & v3.0.0.017), rebooted PC since it wasn't working when I plugged the phone in, then plugged in phone which worked (couple devices showed up in device manager), fired up ADB which I already had installed for my OG Droid & Nook Color, "adb devices" returns nothing. Replug phone in, select HTC Sync for the method, verified USB Debugging was showing up, "adb devices" - still nothing. Now in Device Manager, I don't have any HTC Android devices like I saw a minute ago. Now I just have "Unknown device" and it won't accept the USB drivers from C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64. When I plug in the phone, it no longer prompts me what I want to do on the phone, it just connects USB Debugging and nothing else - no disk drive, no HTC Sync, no nothing. Rebooted PC & phone, same deal when I plug in the phone - it just has an "unknown device" and doesn't let me choose HTC Sync or anything. I made sure the check box is still checked for "ask me" under settings -> connect to PC.
I am reinstalling drivers now and am not going to install the full HTC Sync package. Maybe that'll work better. So far, it appears that the drivers and/or HTC Sync software are crap.
Unplugged phone
Uninstalled all 3 HTC pieces in appwiz.cpl
Installed v3.0.0.007 drivers
Plugged phone in
Got message about failing to install hardware
Device manager now shows: Other devices - Android Phone
It did this the first time I tried installing stuff and a reboot of the PC fixed it, so I'm rebooting...brb!
No luck still. Trying some more stuff. If anyone out there has any ideas, let me know. My phone still won't prompt me for action when I plug in the USB.
Uninstalled HTC USB drivers (v3.0.0.007)
Installed HTC Sync package, including HTC USB drivers v3.0.0.017 & USB BMP drivers
Plugged in phone - same problem
Running out of ideas. Might do factory reset on phone. Might try another PC.
OK I think I figured it out. You have to turn off USB Debugging. As soon as I did that, my PC found new hardware and the phone displayed the expected prompt. It mounted an E: drive and wanted to load TL-bootstrap.exe, which I didn't do.
When I go to the debugging options, it shows as already on even though I just disabled it. I uncheck it and recheck and it goes back to broken state - PC shows an unusable "Android Phone" under Other Devices.
Hmm...now what?
Had to go to a meeting, so I did a factory reset on my phone and set it to not sync, so it should be just like it was when I first got it from Verizon.
Without USB debugging turned on, the phone appears to connect to my PC properly, but HTC Sync says "no device connected" and the phone says "Unable to find HTC Sync on your PC. Please make sure that HTC Sync is installed and opened blah blah blah".
The only hardware that appears in device manager is a pair of "HTC Android Phone USB Device" in the Disk Drives section, as well as a 3rd one under DVD/CD-ROM Drives.
Since HTC Sync isn't working, I guess the drivers are completely failing. I hate crappy drivers. Might have to just mess with my phone from a different PC.
Now USB Debugging won't load at all. I toggle it on and off, disconnect and reconnect USB cable, toggle it again.....nothing happens. Seems to be going downhill quickly.
Uninstalled all HTC software again, including a WModem one that I didn't see before (could be leftover from rooting the wife's Incredible).
Plugged phone in to see what it does - pretty much the same as when all the HTC software is installed. That is, 3 drives mount when USB Debugging is turned off. Turning debugging on is working now, but there is no driver installed on my PC. However, it doesn't matter if I install drivers, it still won't use them.
Does anyone know if there is a special driver for Win7 64-bit?
I have Windows 7 x64 Pro at the office and home, and am using the drivers from HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe just fine. Try doing a hard power cycle on the phone (power off, then on -- or yank the battery) and restart your computer. Use a USB port that is on the back of your motherboard or from a trustworthy powered USB hub (undervoltage will cause you all kinds of grief). Try another cable. Use charge-only mode, not HTC Sync.
Sorry for the spam earlier. Ya, it was just my laptop. My home PC is Win7 x64 as well and it works fine. Wireless tether is workin'. Loving the Rezound!
REPLY:ADB not seeing the device
yeahh i got so scared because ADB would not recognize my Rezound after Re-Flashing the Stock Rom because for some reason my phone suddenly kept re-booting over and over non stop.. so anyways.. i found a fix. well it worked for me at least. i re-installed the HTC drivers and then on the phone i turned "USB Debugging" On. then i plugged the phone to the computer, opened up CMD and when typing
"cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\ ENTER"
"adb devices ENTER" it came back as
List of devices attached
HT19YS204824 device
Before it would say error. it worked for me. hopefully this is at least of some help
I plug my phone into a USB port.
The first time I did so, an AutoPlay window pops up prompting me to run LGAutoRun.exe. I click to do so.
The LG United Drivers are installed onto my computer great.
But then an AutoPlay window pops up prompting me to run LGAutoRun.exe. I click to do so.
My computer attempts to install MTP USB Driver, but fails. According to Windows, the device is unplugged.
The AutoPlay window reappears. Repeat from the beginning of the paragraph.
What have I done to deserve such trouble, LG?!?!
Apparently the drivers installed directly from phone are not enough. In any case, I was observing similar behaviour *until* I installed LG PC Suite (which you should have been prompted to do too). It's stupid, it sucks but again, it's LG.
Install the LG drivers first. After that, when you plug your phone, it will be recognised as an mtp device.
Have you got Windows Media Player installed?

I do. Same problems.
Plug the phone, go to device manager in windows and uninstall the driver for the phone( or whatever shows up with the yellow triangle). Then unplug the phone and connect it back again. It should work. If not, uninstall the lg drivers and clean every trace of them and start from the begining.

Tried uninstalling the LG U2 USB Driver, then disconnected and reconnected phone. Same problem. LG U2 USB Driver was installed but MTP USB still shows up as unplugged.
Then uninstalled LG PC Suite and LG United Mobile Driver, reinstalled LG PC Suite and reconnected phone. Problem still occurs. I run LGAutoRun.exe and United Mobile Drivers are installed. Same problem. MTP USB shows up as "device unplugged" and phone keeps disconnecting and reconnecting to computer, saying drivers were not properly installed due to MTP USB being unplugged.
Interesting to note the phone is listed as a CD-ROM drive.

Install the software from the CD image. It will load the correct driver. After this re-connect the device and the CD image will show up for a few seconds and disappear. After this the storage will show up. That is how it worked on my device.

I have already tried what you said as I posted before. The LG United Mobile driver gets installed but the MTP USB Driver does not get installed due to the device being unplugged according to Windows, even though I have yet to disconnect the phone from the computer. The phone still says "Connected as an installer".
The phone is recognized as an F: Drive by Windows but LGE Mobile but keeps disconnecting and reconnecting every 20 seconds or so.
I am going to have to upload a video to YouTube to make things crystal clear.

Try a different USB port or cable. My P769 would not work on my USB 3 ports, but was happy on the USB 2 port. I had already installed the drivers and LG PC Suite and it picked up each mode just fine.
Plugging the phone into USB 2.0 makes the phone show up in portable devices, but LG Suite fails to identify the phone. I tried using both LGE Android Net MTP USB Device and MTP USB Device but they both fail. I have LG United Drivers and LG Suite installed already.
got thesame problem here mate..i search all over here and google the driver but still cant find any solution..this is so frustrating to fix this issue,,got install and uninstall the pc suite and driver many times but still cant get the solution..so what could be the fix????
no one can suggest..someone told me that maybe its causing the broken data cable but i have 3 cables now..
everytime i intend to install the MTP driver thing my pc always failed to do so,,saying that the filename,directory name or syntax label is incorrect..but i manually direct the search to lg driver folder but same error occurs..or there still other alternative apps that can transfer files without removing my sd to my phone,or atleast transfer files over the wifi..??
Any fix for this one? Already tried uninstalling, installing LG drivers, removed and reinserted SD card and everything. But still to no avail. It installs everything successfully EXCEPT USB MTP device which is the one I needed the most. Any solutions? Thanks!

You must be on 64 bit windows. Not even on 64bit, Still try this...
1) Uninstall LG Drivers, LG PC Suite and anything you see named LG. Restart PC.
2) Install latest LG Driver from this post (step 4)
3) Install Optional MTP Driver from this post (step 4)
4) Open Windows Device Manager (just to watch whats happening.)
5) Disconnect Internet (To avoid stupid online WDM drivers)
6) Connect phone with Usb and let drivers install automatically. Give it some time to install drivers keeping watch on Device Manager window.
7) Keep changing USB connect modes to all modes one-by-one on Phone and let drivers install.
You should see MTP drivers installed now. If this does not help, cant think of anything else. If this works, press THANKS button
EDIT: Connect USB at backside of pc, directly to USB on pc motherboard.
