im having a problem in which my touch pro will not sync or be recognized by ANY type of usb connection (ie, advanced network functionallity unchecked, disk drive mode) it syncs via bluetooth just fine, and when connected to the computer via usb the dialog box asking which type of connection still pops up and it still charges, but no type of connection will go through, i have tried everything except for a hard reset which is what im really avoiding because i have it finally running exactly how i wanted (complete with manila 2.1 on wm6.1 htc 2.01 rom which took me an hour to get working exactly how i wanted), any suggestions, im going crazy here

from where i sit, it sounds like u've spent more time fussing with the no-usb problem more than the hour it'd take to "setup" your phone lol.
can you provide any more info? when did it start happening? have you tried from a couple different computers? cables? please give as much information as you have on the entire subject so we dont have to "drag it out of you" as you are the one requesting assistance dont make us do all the work
I have been having same issue with my Touch Pro. It was working great a few weeks ago...then it just stopped...my pc can't sync or recognized the device. I have been doing extensive reading on so many posts...but nothing seems to work. I finally gave up and a did a hard reset last week...guess what? It still did not work. I suspect it might be a hardware failure. Here is what i did and it was unsuccessful:
Install and then uninstall WMD...nothing, bought new OEM data cables (2 to a pack)...nothing, unchecked the advance network functionaility...nothing, someone recommend to swipe the connection inside the phone for possible dust...nothing, tried on my laptop, desktop PC, work PC and my UMPC (all worked before)...nothing, i tried different usb ports on ALL pcs...nothing, started up ICS and connect (supposedly it will install drivers needed)...nothing.
I also notice that some of the chargers I had for it-also stopped working. Only OEM chargers work now.
Also, there are MANY people complaining about this problem as well...
so I use this program, WIFI Remote Access v1 beta 4, freeware to add apps or make changes via wifi. Works great.

Wish I could find a "fix" for this issue...I can't sent it to Sprint or have a warranty since I flashed it over to Metro PCS...like I said it was working for the past 5 months or so...

well probably last weekend it started happening in which WMDC would just drop the connection and wouldnt reconnect until i rebooted the PC and yesterday morning it also wouldnt connect till i rebooted the pc then it synced and added songs just fine, then i went to school and sat down on one of the computers there and worked on a paper i had to do, this was the last time it worked at all, i got back home and when i connected it to the PC no connections accepted at all, ive rebotted and soft resetted about several times to no avail.
**UPDATE**
i just bit the bullet and did a hard reset and guess what?...........still not working so im resyncing everything through bluetooth and soon will reinstall manilla2.1, after this i will be going to sprint tech support, maybe i can have it exchanged for a TP2
well so yesterday i went up to the sprint store, explained my situation to them and said that ive even done hard resets, they guy had me turn in my phone to him and said that the repair would only take 45mins well 70 passed before i saw my phone again and when i got it back they told me that the reason it wouldnt sync is due to all the 3rd party programs i had installed (only 3rd party program was spb pocket plus) all other installed programs were made by microsoft,sprint and htc. so they did a hard reset and told me it synced their computer fine and that it may be a problem with my computer so got home and it STILL DID NOT WORK!! i even plugged in my axim x51v and it synced without problems,i cant believe i wasted 5 hours of my time and pay an extra $7 for such unprofessional service. they didnt even offer me a new USB cable.
Hey eric,
I have been to other sites and there other members experiencing the same thing. This is the first time hearing it was a 3rd party app...you know it isn't an app if you do a hard reset, which I DID...and it still my pc doesn't recognize it. In my case, it was working great one day...and the next day- it just stopped working.
Now my wif also went haywire. And a hard reset didn't fix that either...
I will be getting the Touch Pro2 soon. I never experience any issues when I had the HTC Mogul...my HTC Pro...well I love it...but i can't deal with the hardware issues...I just replaced my keyboard not to long ago.
Sorry to hear Sprint gave you the run around...
edit: I read somewhere in another post...that sometimes the wifi wire can get unplugged after installing a new keyboard...I opened it up and found the wifi wire (on the back side) plugged in the wrong connector. I must have unplugged it accidentally and then plugged in on the wrong connector. Found the error...now wifi works great.
I've began to have the same issues as well. Last week I flashed vet's ROM and thats when it died. I tried hard resets and other ROMS and its still the same thing so I dont believe it was vet's ROM but more of a hardware issue.
I have no activesync functionality, no flash ability over USB, but charging and disk drive work fine.

I never had this issue. Only internet stops working with the weather updates and skyfire, Im on metro, I just reflash the cab for the internet and that fixes that. But did anyone else try flashing a new rom like hemirunner426 did? Could be worth a shot to get it working. Sounds like urs is F'ed dood sorry.
well I bought a new usb cable from ebay for only $3.xx and since it arrived my usb functionality was restored.
Its usually a problem with the usb cord. I had this same problem before. Just go to the sprint store and they will exchange the cord for free, they also redesigned the cord do it doesnt keep breaking.

I have been testing energy and veito roms and started to get the same problem as everyone here having to reboot both tp and pc to get it to connect I get it to sync but if I leave it on it disconnects and I get usb device malfunctioning or unable to reconise device so I called sprint they told me to go to the repair center I pay my tep for 7 buck he told me it I had damaged the usb port the plastic in side was broken it had been like that from when I got it new he said it would cost me 100.00 for the Insurance to get a new one I went to the other repair center said almost the same thing the bull about this is the tep they are suppost just fix the phone no matter how the phone is broke even tho it was not broken so I called sprint they put me thru to tech support they offered me several replacement all junk phones or a refub tp so I took the tp wouldn't give me a tp2 think I am going to call retention and complaine now that I see I am not alone with this problem
I'm suddenly having this problem now.....I have switched to 2 different computers (freshly formatted), flashed to 2 other ROMs via SD card but still no luck with the sync through WMDC.....It charges the phone but will not sync. Any ideas from the gurus??

I also bought the OEM data cable for the TP....no cigar...still doesn't work. Happy to hear you got yours working.
Hello.
I use BlackBird 2.3.4 ROM. Before two days(i believe its not cuz of the ROM,i have it from like week) the USB stopped working. When i conect the cable it shows USB icon in statusbar,and its says USB Conected-click to copy files from/to pc. But when i click nothing happens-the USB dialog opens for like a sec and exit by itself. I've tried with disabling USB debugging,but it didnt help. "Mass storage only" option not working too.
I had faced a similar problem. The thing is bloody LG makes pathetic hardware. It is definitely hardware fault.
Maybe you can try to flash another ROM or kernel and see if it works out... Maybe try to connect it to some other PC... if nothing works, then LG service center is the only option.
Mine started working again automatically after a few days. But the data transfer rate has become so slow that I hate it. Cannot go to the service center because I am on CyanogenMod 7.
I am going to shift to a better phone in a few months. Maybe Galaxy Nexus in 8 to 10 months if it comes down to around $500 unlocked...
Never again LG...
Gauhar is right, LG is a pathetic phone maker. Try to flash your O1 back to V20C (LG 2.3.3 Gingerbread for Optimus One). LG's service centres will either charge you a premium, or refuse from repairing the phone, cause they can deal only with LG's ROMs.
Like GauharJK, wait for a few days or try other PCs. Even if that is useless, throw your phone into a gutter and get something better like Samsung or Sony Ericsson.
Yup ,LG sucks hardware wise ...
And I too faced same problem :: Phone not at all Connecting to PC , tried everything .
The culprit for You me and Everyone is PCB of this phone..
Which these LG Service guys take weeks to replace !
Well, first of all, I should start by greeting the community, as this is my first post. So, yeah, hey everybody, been reading the forum for quite a while now, and it's been of a great help
Now, to the problem - this morning I noticed that my sgs2 had turned itself off. I didn't suspect the phone to be bricked or something as this happens from time to time when using custom roms. I tried turning it back on, it booted up, showed my kernels logo (DorimanX, not sure for the version though), so I put my phone in my pocket. After half an hour or so, I wanted to make a call, but I noticed that my sgs2 still hadn't booted up. So I tried restarting my phone using the power button, but instead of restarting it just turned off and I hadn't been able to turn it on since - it's bricked
I've heard of phones getting bricked while flashing a new rom or kernel, but never had I thought it could happen on simply booting up...
I did some research on bricked SGS2 and here's what I have done so far:
I've tried booting up in recovery/download modes, but that doesnt work.
I've tried soft/hard resetting my phone - still no luck.
I've also tried making an USB Jig, didn't work though. I'm not quite sure if my self-made jig works in the first place, as I did mess up the micro usb connector pretty bad while soldering resistors to pins. I'll try that one again with a different jack later and will keep you updated on weather it worked or not.
So, my question is, if my second try at making a USB Jig fails, is JTagging my only chance on reviving the phone? I guess that a MOBO change would probably help.
Another question is, if JTagging is my only chance, wouldn't it be easyer to just replace the bricked NAND chip? Then again, even though I have all kinds of soldering equipment accessible and also have the skills to do it, I have no idea where it's located on the mobo... Some info on that would also be much appreciated.
I havent flashed a new rom for quite a while now, last time I did it was when the latest version of Resurrection Remix was released.
My CPU wasn't overclocked - it was underclocked to 1GHz.
I was using DorimanX kernel.
Thanks in advance

What happens when you plug the charger. Does it charge?

I guess the battery is charging, as it heats up, but I don't see the charging animation. Also my PC won't see that a USB divice of any kind is connected.

order an usb jig and try. If it does not work send it to a repair center
Very similar happened to me a couple of days ago. Sgs2 crashed and wouldn't boot. I was also running dorimanx kernel, under clocked at 1ghz.
Originally I managed to get to download mode (not recovery mode). Kernels wouldn't flash via odin. I also tried using samsung kies to flash stock without success.
I tried the solution for nand bricked phones in this forum, however, this appears to have hard bricked the phone, since it failed to flash and now the phone does nothing (other than get hot when it is plugged in.) Nothing shows on screen. The PC does not recognise the device.
None of the threads I've read seem to offer a solution to this - any ideas? I guess I need to try a service centre, but thought I'd mention since I had same configuration as jankanolv, which of course may just be a coincidence...

Sounds familliar, lol. Anyways, did you use USB Jig to get to download mode? Or you just managed to boot it up on it's own?
I am really confused right now, because I'm pretty sure this can't be a hard brick as nothing has went wrong while flashing something on the device - it just bricked itself...
I've just get in the forum a few minutes ago only to find somoene with this symptoms, and i wasn't in here for too long and voilá...
Since yesterday my SGII, with no problems to this date, went in reboot mode for a few times.
I have no clue what is going on, but im sure something is.
i'll wait to see if theres anyone else complaining about it.
cheers
Hmm... Looks like a lot of people are getting this "brick" lately.
Maybe we all used some kind of app that bricked the phone on bootup?
Well, I tried to make another Jig, didn't work... This time though, I screwed my resitors up...
Another thing - is it really relevant to have exactly 301kOhm resistance between pins 4 and 5? As far as I know, it just kind of short circuits some pins on MOBO, which tells the phone to boot up in download mode. But I might be wrong...
Btw, sorry for the double post.
Same Problem
Hi,
I just face the same problem today,
now my S2 not working and just heat up.
this only happened after the original update done to my S2 - Android 4.1.2 - 2 days ago.
any help please
heat up....near the rear camera heat up?
Sent from the little guy
Mine gets hot near the camera. Nothing shows on screen.
In answer to jankanolv's questions:
- originally I could get to download mode via pressing home/power/volume down. (Not any more following failed flash). I've not tried a USB jig.
- my crash which started the situation occurred while I was listening to tune in radio pro app.
Well guys....near camera heating + no boot/dl/recovery = claim warranty saying that you factory reset the phone, 4.0.4 was laggy.
Sent from the little guy
was going to post a thread asking for help for what appears to be a similar problem
mine got stuck in a bootloop after pulling the battery, tried flashing new software in recovery then tried through odin but kept failing, now its bricked.
does nothing, wont go into either download or recovery mode so looks like its off to the service centre with it.

Yessss! good to know I'm not the only one facing this issue.
I posted a thread about this yesterday but it is all the way down in page 3 already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192996
I tapped on the "sync" toggle on the notification shade and my phone just turned itself off.
Recovery and download mode were accessible though.
Thanks for the help.
I went to Samsung to get them to fix based on the factory reset while on stock 4.04 premise, but they were having none of it, and wanted to charge me to investigate the problem. Once out of warranty period, it seems it doesn't matter if their software can brick your phone!
I found a local phone fixing service in Hong Kong which investigated, diagnosed as a motherboard failure (which I suspect my problem genuinely was given how firmware flashes were failing), and replaced + fitted for 700hkd, (approx 90usd). The guy did it in front of me within 10 mins. "Andy Telecom" in Mongkok, on +852 9237 9237 in case someone else has the same issue locally.
Well, outta warranty...that's another story. You only get 1-2 years to brick your device
Glad you had it fixed for 90 bucks, some service centers charge around 150.
Sent from the little guy
Well, I finally managed to make a working USB Jig, tried it on Galaxy Ace, worked like a charm.
What confuses me right now, is that my sgs2 has drained all the battery, even though it was switched off for about 2 days. I'm charging the device right now, and I will keep you updated on weather my jig works..
Sorry for double-posting again on an old thread, just wanted to let you guys know - I took the phone to warranty service and they changed the mobo. I didn't have to pay anything and everything is working normally. Of course all data on sd card is now lost for good, lol.
So if you hard brick your device so badly it even won't respond to usb jig and you still have your warranty active, don't bother trying to revive your phone - just take it to warranty service
I guess they couldn't see the odin download count so they cant void my warranty, he he he ]
