hello guys.
i have Amaze for months and had no problems, but for now, i'm pissed off.
my phone doesn't mount Disk drive.
i mean, when i plug it on usb, there is an error pop-up saying "Usb Device Isn't Recognized" and it starts to charge.
i tried 3 different cables, did a full wipe, changed rom, kernel, but still no luck.
i'm running latest Energy rom w/ faux's kernel, S-OFF-ed, rooted, 4Ext recovery.
any ideas?
Might try a card reader. If it reads ok, backup all the contents then format the card. ( fat 32 I think) better check.
Just an idea.

i took out my sd-ext and put in another phone and it works.
i discovered another thing, when i insert usb in my phone, it says that usb isn't recognized, but when phone is plugged about 1.5-2h, than Disk Drive mounting appears and i can mount my phone as usb storage.
i'm confused

it comes in my PC. Phone just doesnt display USB icon in status bar. But if i leave phone plugged about 1-2h, than unplug and plug again phone, here come mounting option, charge only or disk drive.
any ideas?

Try a new USB cable I used a PSP USB cable for a while when my HTC hero USB cable stopped working properly. Just find some more USB cables and test them all.

You probably damaged the USB controller with ESD. You can try another USB port, but it's likely that all the ports are damaged (at least all the ports on that controller). Check the other ports on the PC. Most modern PCs have at least a couple of USB hubs built in. It is possible that a port on another hub or controller may work. Otherwise, you might be able to use a USB add in card in the computer if all the built-in ports are dead. They are relatively cheap if you have the slot in the machine to install one.

mount to PC is a known issue methinks. What is your current setup? Rom/kernel? and how are your settings? USB debugging set on/off? auto connect set to "ask on connection"?

Its common with the 2.2.1 roms. What you need to do is replace the vold.conf, and the vold.fstab files in system/ect. I have attached the ones you need. Just use root explorer and drop them in the ect folder, reboot, and test.

you should download toolbox from development section and the first option is to install drivers. once u run the program. install it and then test the usb cables. by the way i never charge my phone from a computer i like separate chargers so im using the charger for BB to charge my battery. its quicker as well.

Boston represent!!! Dorchester here. Its fool proof really. Just make sure you change the system to read/write in root explorer, and drop the files in the system/ect folder.

mine has no trouble reading my usb memory stick maybe something bigger needs its own external power supply
I'll give that a try, maybe i'm just being greedy and wanting too much storage!

Tried it with a double ended usb cable with one end plugged into a usb mains adapter. Worked perfectly!

From my experience so far:
A) Does need external power supply
B) Mac formatted drives don't stay connected

Mac or PC? That would help out a bit. What have you done? That would also help.

It's a PC, Windows 7. I dl'd htc sync and googled htc drivers then dl'd that. When i plug in a usb cable then go to my computer it doesnt show anything. HTC sync also says no device found.
My experience with HTC sync is.....it sucks. But you don't see any extra storage in computer section? don't get a prompt on your phone to activate disc storage either?

I hate when i spend hours trying to fix something then i find out its something simple like the cable. so always check the simple stuff first. I have found good cables at cableforge.com with lifetime warranty. so if i ever have one go bad they ship me another. plus use this coupon code for 80% off. G5WJXH4F22MN
I had a mate with this problem with his S2.He tried everything from reinstalling keis to full wipe installing the rom to stock rom and nothing.In the end he solved it by plugging his old i9000 into his PC and when it said it was recognized he unplugged it and plugged in his S2 and it recognized his S2....simple but true.
Try plugging in another S3 or better still an S2 or S1 so the PC recognizes the drivers and then plug in your S3.It may work like it did for my mate.
Use stock ⣔ cable came with your phone
shouldn't need kies. Obviously if nothing else is working give it a shot but I've never had to use kies for anything.

Hello All,
Here it is, charges fine, but will not connect as a storage device or for adb, etc. What ive tried...
3 different cables, 1 of which is HTC
3 Different computers (2x Win8, 1x Win7) - 1 of each which had never had phone plugged in
Many different roms
USB Debug is On
Ive installed various drivers, uninstalled various software, cannot get it to behave.
Sometimes the USB icon is in my status bar when im not plugged in, sometimes when im plugged in the icon doesnt appear.
When it does selecting htc sync or disk drive seem to have no effect.
NOTHING in device manager, no unknown, no other, no android device...not a thing to show its connected other then the LED light on the phone.
Im beginning to wonder if its my phone. I was s-off via lazy panda. I have since used Viper's RUU but by taking the rom.zip and renaming it PJ75IMG.zip and loading that from bootloader. Seems to have flashed stock although i still show s-off but locked.
Any help would be great
Had same problem. Ended up having to take it on for replacement.

I agree. This happened to me because of what I believe was a faulty charger. I think it shorted it out.
Try mounting usb in recovery.

If u install WiFi file transfer pro from playstore then u won't need to transfer files via cable. Does wireless adb work? Haven't tried it, but it would be the only thing u need your cable for. As long as it charges right.
Just an idea so u won't necessarily have to take your phone in to be replaced. Good luck

I appreciate it, but afaik to be able to root it ill need to be able to directly connect it. Plus it should just work. It used to but hasnt for a while. I thought maybe it was just my ROM but im beginning to think its a bigger issue. I have to check the best buy policy and see how they take care f it.
