Title says it all. I've tried re installing 20 times(not literally) and re installing the drivers, rebooting the phone, the computer, nothing. Had no problems with my S2. Anyone else having similar issues and a possible work around? Thanks.
I had the same issue and swore it was my phone. I tried different cables and even a factory reset, however I plugged in my phone into my work laptop and it synced up just fine.

I also had this issue. Randomly one day I connected it however and kiss said connecting and all of a sudden it was working. Have you tried to remove the drivers in safe mode?

Haven't tried removing them in safe mode. Sorry to sound stupid but what difference does it make removing them from safe mode? I'll give it a whirl but all the errors I get are on the phones end. I couldn't even copy music to my sdcard. I had to remove it, use the adapter and load it right on it from the port on my laptop.

Had the same issues as well. Tried different cables including the one in the box, deleted and tried to reinstall drivers, checked regedit, and finally called Samsung Advanced Tech support, what a joke by the way. After 20 minutes said our only option is to do a factory reset which is exactly what I didn't want to do. But, it is fixed for now...
I don't know how many times I posted because of this, but I think I'm done trying to fix it.
My phone, regardless of ROM, computer, or cable, etc, will isn't seen by any computer
I've installed all the drivers (through HTC sync) multiple times and on multiple computers. I've tried new roms, stock roms, nothing. New cables old cables, nothing. I've even formatted my SD cards and tried that way, nothing. I've tried the wireless ADB, and I get "<waiting for device>" which of course is never going to be found. I don't really think there's anything else I can do at this point but assume that it's my phone's USB port is damaged, can I replace that though?
Any ideas? And also someone could tell me about replacing hardware on this phone, that'd be great.
Thanks anyone.

You mean if I plug it into a USB port will it charge?
Yes
All I know is that in my experience my phone stopped showing when I installed HTC drivers. It only came back up when I reinstalled windows. Try more computers before you determine it as a physical defect

I have tried 5, and I'm positive it isn't a problem with any of them.
If it charges over USB I have a hard time thinking the USB port has issues... There is one common denominator over the 5 computers you have tried
I had the same issue, unfortunately it was an issue with the USB port. I went through many, many cables and PCs ( xp, vista, win7) and I finally gave up. Called big red and got a warranty replacement

Computer 1: very old, used 3 other phones, all no problems, ReZound isn't seen

Computer 3: Brand spanking new, ultimate specs, fresh driver intallation, ReZound isn't seen (also had 2 different software versions installed - Win 7 Home Premium and Ultimate)
Computer 4: Not used, barely a year old, fresh driver install, ReZound still isn't seen
Computer 5 - Laptop: Same deal, newdriver, nothing.

Nothing, the phone doesn't even realize it's being connected, although if you restart the phone with a cable plugged in (whether or not it's plugged into a wall or computer) the phone pops up with the options to charge only, etc. None of the options do anything though.

Why can't you? It's time consuming but you can. Run the ruu to get yourself back to stock. Lock the bootloader and s-on. Then you will be stock, unrooted and bootloader will say either relocked or tampered or whatever. Root it. S-off with junipbear but do not install the modified hboot. Then ruu again. You will now be completely stock, unrooted and bootloader will say locked. Worked perfectly fine for me.

If your phone doesn't realize it's plugged in, then you got a defect.
Verizon usually doesn't check for unlock/root and many people have successfully gotten replacements for rooted phones.

Ok so this is really bugging me. I keep my phone on the stock rooted ROM most of the time because I use it for work. Two days ago i started getting random reboots, then I notice that my computer doesn't recognize the phone anymore. (yes usb debugging is on). So I safestrap into a custom rom & it seems to work again. Next day same problem. Any suggestions here, I'm kinda stumped.

It may be a OS problem or USB. Try a different usb, or computer.
Also you can try another usb cable.

Ok so last night I transferred some files with otg cable. Unmounted and then went to put it on charger and it does not recognize the charger. It did charge after I powered it down. But when the phone is on it doesn't recognize anything plugged into the usb port. Anyone have any suggestions? And if not how do I run a ruu or something to get back to stock for warranty without a connection to pc?

Quick update. I am on 3.09.401.1 firmware and a 2.24.401.8 based rom. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but it will charge in recovery mode but not booted up. So seems like a firmware/software issue. Is there any way to flash firmware without using usb to pc? Because it won't recognize the usb at all.

Weird problem. Not sure if it will work but you can try "flashify" from the play store to flash firmware, etc without usb. Keep us posted on your results.
Also see if you can access it through bootloader. You might be able to RUU. Alternatively, factory reset and install ROM in recovery. Or try side adb in recovery..

I have tried three different HTC branded charger/cable combinations. With no luck while booted up. I charged to 100% while shut off.
I have been running this combo for a week or something. Ever since the firmware hit the forums. And had no issues until two nights ago when this first started giving me grief... so I don't know what has caused it.
I also posted this over in the international forums and there's a guy over there with the same issue.

well i am downloading a stock backup and i have a stock recovery not sure how to get them both to work... because i have to flash the stock rom with twrp and then how do i get the stock recovery flashed with a stock rom.... i will figure it out. anyway my plan is to try to take an ota and have that change the firmware and then i will know if i have a hardware issue or a software issue.
Lol. Now I'm not sure what to do. I reverted back to stock rom and recovery and then realized the touch drivers I have aren't compatible.... But I am booted up and plugged into the pc and it is charging but not coming up on the pc as a device. I don't know if debug mode is on because I am stuck at the first setup screen... Ahh I can't seem to catch a break here...

Press the power button until the power options open. Tap and hold POWER OFF on the screen and the phone should ask if you'd like to boot into safe mode but if your touch panel is not working for you this is not going to work.

I dont think it is prob with some ROM. I used HTC One with stock rom (official stock by HTC) and after three months my phone stopped charging and also stop USB connection. I googled it and it was universal prob and also HTC knows about that.

Unless the OTA adapter screwed up the USB connector pins for data but not power, then you should be able to recover. However like stated there has been a few reports of failed USB connectors.
Does there seem like there is any damage to the usb pins in the connector on the phone?
Did you make sure to have the HTC device drivers installed on your PC before trying ADB. Do you have a Windows 7 PC to try?

So far I have tried on win8 winxp and Ubuntu.on the windows pcs the drivers were definitely installed. No dice on any of them. I am thinking the connector must be messed up. I can't see anything obvious looking at it but the fact that on three pcs one of them running Linux didn't find the phone but will charge it is pretty definitive. I don't have the money to pay for repairs due to having "tampered" with the phone(even though it doesn't say that) it is an AT&T phone with s-off and unlocked and a 1.55 hboot and has a inverted splash screen. Pretty obvious...

If you boot the phone into the bootloader without the cable attached it should come up and say fastboot. When you attach the USB cable does the display on the phone change to fastboot USB or stay only fastboot?

Yep, then it seems the pinouts on the USB connector have been damaged. Bummer.
On the plus side consider this: AT&T will probably still give you device exchange without charging you a fee. First, they mostly don't care about users modding their phones. Secondly there are so many exchange requests coming into them for the One, that all the defective units will just be sent back to HTC directly by AT&T and at that point HTC is not going to bother to go back to AT&T and say listen this list of devices were modified. If they did, that would create a backlog on work for AT&T to match the records to owners and then contacting them and trying to prove that the user did this so far removed from the exchange that it doesn't make business sense to them.
I have seen AT&T users report that they have sent in devices that were extremely modified and obvious, but AT&T proceeded with the exchange anyway because they would rather keep you as a happy customer than spending time trying to prove what you did was the only cause of the failure. Users have even sent back total bricks that they created by doing something stupid and AT&T still replaced the device without question.
When you modded the phone, that basically ended AT&T's obligation to help you with any service/software related issues, but the modding did not void the hardware warranty and it seems your device has a hardware issue that was unlikely caused by the software modifications.
The key in your case would be to do the defective device exchange via phone/mail and not via the walk in device service center.
If you don't want to do this because of the possible risk of flagging by them, then I may be willing to buy your bricked device if you are not going to do anything with it. PM if interested.
Hey all, my brother bought an LG P769 for T-Mobile from Walmart, he's never been the type to modify any of his technology, so he used his phone like it was out of the box, no root, no bootloader unlocking, or anything. One night, he gets a security error, his hone turns off, and he can no longer turn it on. The soft buttons don't light up, its not the battery, no moisture damage, and the phone is literally useless. He tried calling LG support, they won't replace it for some reason, as far as I know it was running 4.2, though I'm not sure (he's not here to ask, and I doubt he remembers)
Tried the hard reset, no luck.
Tried to do the offline fastboot method, I installed drivers correctly, and selected option 5, and this time it lights up the soft keys, but it never loads the security error screen, so I can't enter s.w upgrade mode. I've tried pressing 5, waiting the 5 seconds with it plugged in and leaving it plugged in without the battery, leaving it plugged in with the battery, and putting the battery in at different times during the 5 seconds and removing it afterwards, none of them boot to the security error screen.
Tried the LG Mobile Support tool, doesn't recognize my device, even though I installed the drivers directly from the tool.
What do I do?

If you can't return it to Walmart and you are out of other options, you can send it in for repair by starting here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/repair-service/schedule-repair
I recently bricked my rooted P769 trying to update to V20H and ended up sending it for repair. They fixed it within a week and sent it back with a note saying they replaced the flash memory. Same phone, remaining warranty still good, now on V20H. Works fine so far.

Hello
I have a similar problem. What if the computer can recognize the phone? When I plug the phone into the computer, I see OMAP4430 under unknown devices. I heard that a dead phone can be revived through fastboot or kdz updater, is that true? I tried following directions on different forums, but some directions ask that usb debugging is turned on but my phone is dead and I can't do that. When I followed some of the fastboot directions, I was only able to install the driver once and couldn't install it a second time.
yeah, USB debugging was a roadblock for me too.

More than likely the hardware just went out, if all you can use is the unofficial fastboot. If that's not the case maybe, just maybe the x & u images (from lelus fastboot tool) are corrupt. Re-download the fastboot zip and compare (md5 sum) x & u bin files. If one of the images are corrupt it won't boot or respond to anything.

the steps i took:
1. installed the fastboot drivers as instructed.
2. I ran omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21 selected option 5, plugged in my phone, the buttons lit up, and it said to unplug the device and wait for S/W recovery mode, which never popped up.
