[Q] Is my USB bricked? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys.
I just bought a used xperia x10. It boots normally also sd card works but
when i connect it to pc it charges but the pc says nothing about any hardware found or so. like if i connected it to the PC when it is off.
tryed with both my PCs windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit also with 2 different usb cables. still no success.
the phone has following in Info:
Android Version
2.3.3
Baseband-Version
2.1.71
Kernel-Version
2.6.29-00054.g5f01537
[email protected] #1
3.0.1.G.0.75
Is this a USB brick?

If you're able to boot normally, I don't think your phone is bricked. My best guess would be an issue with the SD card. Have you tried reformatting the SD card?
Or if you have a spare SD card lying around, you could try that in place of your current one to check if it will connect to your PC.

how can tghe phone be bricked if its booting?
To OP: have you tried a new cable and a different computer?
the usb port on the X10 is iffy at best, mine stops charging at the slightest move of the cable..

Could try uninstalling seus from your PC and reinstalling it. Fresh the drivers will be freshly installed.

After 2.1 Phone Reboots on USB Mount

I updated my x10 mini to 2.1 yesterday and now everytime i connect phone to PC
and click on Mount USB phone just restarts. Does anyone have the same issue?
although this is not a x10 mini thread, i experience the same problem (with my mini) after upgrade to 2.1. i wonder if it is not because you sync with "my phone explorer"... do you?
Android Commander
Use android commander to transfer files does not require putting into USB mount mode.
Or MyPhoneExplorer.
It used to do that back on the RF...014 firmware.
They seemed to like it so much, that they implemented it again!! lol!

mine does it too. but it happens when i plug the usb cabel to the device so the software above won´t work..any solution?
When you connect phone to PC choose to "charge" after that choose "mount" no restarts
but it restarts just after i plug the cable into the device, i have no time to select one of these options
Have you tried connecting the phone with another computer, usb port or usb cable? If that doesn't work...
Have you tried connecting the cable without the sd card inside?
Try that, if it doesn't restart you know it's the sd card that's causing the problem. If you have an sd card reader (some laptops have them) put it in and copy your important files and format the sd card to fat32. You can also use the phone to format the card, but you will lose everything on the card.
Hope that helps.
thanks for your reply
but i had to flash my phone again and now i´m not having this problem anymore so far
Same thing happens to me too. Yesterday updated my X10 Mini Pro to 2.1, now the phone restarts, when mounted. I have tried on 2 computers (PC and laptop). Just now tried the suggestion to choose "Charge" and later "Mount" from status bar, seems to work
Actually, just now i remembered that this started happening not right after the update, but after i enabled Text-to-Speech or Speech-tp-Text or whatever it was. Will be trying to switch that off later.
for me the upgrade to 2.1 solved the problem...try to re-flash

I use exactly the same workaround on my X10 mini pro. This bug started after the android 2.1 upgrade. I never had it before...
It happens only when I mount the SD on Win7 and not on Ubuntu Linux: Could it be a driver issue?
EDIT: btw the issue disappeared after i uninstalled the live wallpaper

Thanks my problem is solved......CHEERS
Hi, i had same problem with reboot after mount USB so i tried to find solution. And in my case the soution was simple.
I have had set sound notification to SD card witch was save on S card..... Go to: Preferences>display and sound> SD card notification> "set OFF"
That solved my problem
PS: Sorry for my english

My wt19i restarts some times when I mount pen drive. The mount buttun pressed and then screen turns black, then restarts. Please help me.
Try to move those apps which you use more frequently to PHONE STORAGE or kill their procces before you mount your USB...this helped me

[Q] Help Please! Optimus V wont connect to the computer!!

my optimus v is rooted and has cm7 on it. It worked fine until today when i tried to connect my phone to my computer. When the "usb Mass Storage" icon shows up and i press mount, all it does is say "sd card can now be safely removed." It can only charge for now when connected. Here are all the steps i have tried to fix it,
*Tried different Usb Port
*Turned on/off debug
*Installed and Updated my Drivers
*Used apps for usb tether
*Reboot, Unmount
I haven't tried to reflash a rom but i dont think that will work. I haven't taken the sd card out and put it in the computer because i lost the micro sd reader. I do think that its the crappy stock sd card that came with the phone might be the problem. Anyone have any suggestions?

Htc aria is not detected (wtf).

Hello everyone. Forgive me if I missed a thread about this. I checked all of them but they were dead ends. Anyways about a week ago i can put music on HTC aria(mine is the liberty version), now I can't. I run both windows and Linux on one laptop and I tried to see if it would be detected on Linux still didn't work... then i tried on windows still didn't work, no usb sound nothing... The only thing it does is connect to charge. When I plugged my sisters phone it worked and a USB thing popped up. My laptop also has a micro sd slot and on windows sp2 it doesn't detect the micro sd but it detects it on Linux. So confusing.

Did you mount the SD card when you connected it?
Try turning off usb debugging before connecting it. Worked for me.
Connect your device to the laptop then remove all device drivers that related to your phone from your windows system after finish unplug ur phone reboot it ,reboot ur system then try to replug an install the device drivers again.

Need a favor from Legend owners

Hi,
Can you guys let me know if you can boot without an SD Card?
Mine gets stuck on the HTC Screen... It will only boot when i have a card in.
On another note, i was trying to investigate why the pc wouldnt recognize my htc legend and says USB not recognized everytime i plug it in... I have all drivers and the phone can access the SD card fine... even in fastboot, it doesnt get recognized...
anyone knows if i can fix this?
im on blayo rom and i reset to default and it is still the same from a fresh restore.

In recovery, advanced, you can try between mount or unmount the sdcard, and select the usb storage.
Then your pc should recognize the sdcard.
If not, try to change your sdcard.

I am using HomICS 2.0 and my Legend boots fine without an SD card. I am missing several apps because I use Link2SD. Maybe your phone is using ext3 during startup? But what would be the use of booting without a card?
Regarding the USB brick, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691187. Maybe this will help. There are several posts about the USB brick on XDA, as well as the SD card fault. I had that as well, until I formatted the SD card in Recovery and created a ext3 partition there.
Hmm on one ocassion my PC wasn't able to detect my legend but later on I found out that it was a problem with my datacable. I hope it might help you.
