Computer wont reconize my device! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have never successfully connected my Filemate Clear tablet to my computer. It USE to pop up to install but then one of them always ended up turning red, (not installing properly). NOW, Nothing pops up. I plug the USB in and out and turn on and off debugging and nothing pops up on screen or in My Computer. I looked for wintec installing drivers and I can't find anything on this Tablet.. ERG> I just found the root last weekend and even that took me forever.

USB ROM Flashing issue

I have an AT&T Pure, and I've been trying to install a new ROM after having flashed several ROMs over the past few months. Everything works fine except, when the tri color screen comes up it flashes twice, and it never says USB at the bottom of the screen. Eventually the software gives up and I get a connection error, and the screen gets stuck on the tri color screen.
Windows Mobile Device Manager recognizes my phone. My phone shows up under "my computer". So everything seems to work properly with the exception of the ROM flashing utility being able to access the USB connection. Can anyone help me figure this out?
Make sure on your phone under USB to PC settings it is set to Sync when connected to a PC and not to share internet or act as a hard drive.

[Q] [Help] Optimus V is not charging

Hi all... i got my V for a month and now it is not charging anymore. neither from the ac adapter nor my computer usb..and my computer couldnt detect my phone is plug to the USB port....just nothing pops out. The debugging mode status icon, and the storage icon is not shown on my phone.
basically... i tried everything i found on Google...
reboot my phone, pop out the battery, change cable[from other optimus V], changed battery, different ports on my computer, different computer, different AC adapter, different SD card, format my SD card, factory reset, and the last thing i tried is to rooted my phone and flash with a I.H.O CM7.1 ROM.
no hope at all; however, when i plugged to the usb port or the ac adapter, then i take out the battery.. the phone does power up and say required battery....
so, if anyone had this problem before and solved it.. please help me out. between, i cant return the phone anymore.. it is over a month.
forgot to mention... it is the second time this charging issue happened. the first time, it fixed itself after i plugged into the PC, windows recognized it, and installed the drivers. [well, i already installed the driver before this happened, because i was doing some coding and debugging]
this time.... windows is doing nothing, no message pop out, no new driver found.. just nothing. and my phone doesn't shows the debugging icon on the status bar even thought i ticked the debugged mode On, and connected to the usb.
sorry for my bad grammar =[
maybe see if your pc recognizes it while rebooted into recovery.
you could also try removing all the lg and Android drivers in device manager (select show hidden devices to get at them) and then plugging the phone into the pc again.
or use a Ubuntu "live cd" to check the connectability... micro$oftware is uppity, my kid's windoze computer doesn't like my v, although it used to see it fine.
I've also read that toggling debugging, disconnecting and reconnecting the cable, then toggling usb debugging again can help.
also, froyo roms are supposed to go to a charge mode when turned off but still plugged in.

ADB not seeing the device

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

[Q] Make windows 7 detect S3 in download mode

I've searched around a few threads but not having much luck on this. I've started on a different computer totally from scratch several times and it just doesn't recognise that the phone has been plugged in. It's really quite irritating as the ODIN CF root method is literally 5 clicks and should take about 10 seconds to do.
I plug the phone into my PC while it's on and it detects it as the USB device and I can go into the folders and copy music on etc etc.
I switch it to download mode, plug it in and it does sod all. No windows beep to say it's plugged in a USB device. If I open ODIN then plug it in it's not doing the COM added.
I've tried installing then uninstalling kies then rebooting, installing just the USB driver, uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting. Just NOTHING seems to make my PCs detect that I've plugged the damn phone in when it's in download mode. It should be such an easy process but I'm left banging my head against the wall mid way through because it just refuses to acknowledge the device. I unplug, switch it on, plug back in and there it is, device connected. I've tried different computers, different USB ports. It doesn't show up in device manager even.
So my question: any idea as to why it will detect when the phone is on normally, but will not even think it's plugged in when switch on in download mode? And of course, how to fix it would be useful!
OK I fixed it.
I uninstalled the USB driver and restarted.
Downloaded/installed a new USB driver (specifically SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.23.0-retail).
Went to download mode and it picked it up straight away! ODIN worked in 10s as expected.
Found the instructions here, for reference. http://www.modaco.com/topic/361286-...-phones-15230-for-win-87vistaxp-adb-fastboot/

USB Device not recognized

I'm not sure if it was the recent windows update(1803) or if my phone is ****ed.
I've tried every USB port, the original cable that came with my phone, the cable that came with my HTC 10, and 2 other cables I had lying around. I also tried factory resetting my phone. None of this worked.
I've tried a few combinations of uninstalling and reinstalling the USB drivers.
I don't have another computer I can use to test with.
Same problem here, can t connect my phone to pc anymore. It worked when i both the phone for 1 week or so and now... nothing. The sound when you connect the cable to the laptop is gone and also the allow and / deny notification you get on your phone.
In downloading mode odin sees the phone and the laptop is makeing the sound.
Whenever you connected your device to the computer, was the USB computer connection on Media Device (MTP)? If it's not on MTP then the computer may not recognize the phone at all.
I have same problem with my S9+ .. I try to install some update to Windows 10 (MTP Drivers) and nothing...
In dawnload mode, also ...don't recognize
This may or may not help, is Bixby updated and configured? I never used Bixby, I turned it off and used Nova Launcher and could not connect to the PC no matter what I tried so..... I turned off Nova Launcher, re allowed Bixby, went through the many configuration nonsense and the phone now connects to the PC. When I plug in the cable the phone shows up as another disk drive and if I click on it, I get internal memory and SD Card and can read or write to either. I've no idea why but apparently Bixby is needed to connect the phone to the PC?
I re activated Nova Launcher and it still works so give it a try.
NOTE: Bixby must be allowed to update first.
Hope this helps at least one of you?
