Hey there.
Ok I have a problem. I have had my touch pro 2 for about 6 months now and i am really happy with it, but recently i have ran into a problem.
My phone won't connect to my computer anymore! Not just my computer... no computer at all. Not just activesync, no, it doesn't recognise it at all, not even as a disk drive.
I doubt its the cable because it does charge, and i have tried another cable (not a htc cable but its a cable with the same plug, its from my external harddrive) and it still didn't work.
I also tried a hard-reset on my phone, but still... nothing.
Ive read somewhere that you should push the usb connector a bit up, i did that, but nothing (now the usb connector seems wiggly... glad it still charges though) i have no idea what it could be and i thought i'd post here first before going back to the dealer with it. Because without usb connection i can't install costum roms and that we wouldn't want that, do we?
Well, hope one of you guys can help!
That's very strange I have had it once, but that was due to the rom I used. I flashed another rom and it worked again.
What you could try is to download a new rom and put it on your sd car using this:
http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/
This let's you put stuff on your mobile using wifi. It's worth a try.
But you have to install roms directly from your pc to your phone, while being connected to USB right? The standards htc roms for example can only be installed that way i think... or can you also copy the .exe to your device and run that?
i'll give it a go when i get home. Thanks =]
I am having the same issue here. All of a sudden my PC or Laptop doesn't see the phone at all but it does charge with no issues. When I plug it in I don't even get the sound that the PC knows something was jut plugged into it.
go to settings - connection - usb to pc - untick the enable faster synchronization box
that should do it
As long as you have Hard SPLed your Rhodium you should be able to use the sd card method to install a rom instead of using the PC and usb connection.
You copy the rhodium.nbh file to the root directory of an sd card formatted FAT32 and then boot into bootloader - volume down and power button when off.
Follow the onscreen prompts...

What's interesting with my Tilt2 (not the OP) was that I wanted to flash my ROM with the new AT&T "unofficial" ROM and that's when I found out I couldn't tether. I basically just wanted to tether my phone so I could put that new ROM onto the phone to see if I could make it more reliable and faster. Sigh.
it actually might be the cord...
The same exact thing happened to me... my phone charged with the cord but no computer recognized it...
I bought a new usb cable from radio shack and viola it worked again... so I advise u just trying a new one and if it doesn't work take it back... but try the unchecking the "check for faster sync" box first like someone said bc that do stop it from being recognized sometimes...

Yes, this has (almost) always fixed the issue for me. Somehow WDC becomes blind to new device inserts after you plug-unplug them several times.
Slow but stable is better.
My mac is unable to detect my phone since I flashed Cyan 6 Test 8 Koush, as such I am unable to use adb. Given that I use a mac I assume this is not a driver issue. Phone is able to recharge via USB and USB debugging is enabled. I have found this issue (USB Brick) for the desire on this site but it involves flashing a rom unique to that device. Any ideas on how to resolve issue? Other than USB brick issue, everything is in order.
My card reader is able to read SD card and I have copied to my HD, so I assume issue is with USB on phone.
The only thing I can think of is that your phone somehow got stuck on "Charge Only" mode. In the stock version you can go to Settings, Connect to PC and then change some options there... I do not use this rom though so I'm sorry I can't help you other any further (I'm sure you likely already knew about the above info... if no one responds to you with an answer within a couple days I'd consider asking the Indian Prince of Roms himself... and I know he uses a Mac).
I assume you are mounting your system in recovery while trying to get adb?

Yes. Device is not found. Can't view contents via finder either. When I pop out SD card and insert into reader contents are visible.

This should also fix usb bricks.

Obviously you will need to try it from a terminal emulator.
I recently had the same issue - on a PC - where my CM6 test 8 install would charge but not register as a USB device and give me device malfunction warning messages. Turns out it was a problem with a non-HTC branded micro USB cable I was using.
Odd thing is it worked fine for a month or so, then decided to not work anymore out of any USB port. Switching over to the original cable fixed the problem. Now the other cable is relegated to the stock charger.
This should also fix usb bricks.

Thank you. I am on the road, so I won't be able to implement your solution until later. The procedure you outlined seems simple enough. I will reread. Is it ok if I email you with any questions, or would you prefer that I address my questions via this forum?

Funny thing is that I did not notice the problem until I changed cables. I was using a third party w/no problems, problem only surfaced when I used original cable. Hopefully I will have same luck as you, if not, adrynalyne posted near idiot proof instructions. I just hope that I am brighter than your average idiot, no promises.
adrynalyne, if my hboot is .77 could I simply flash PBI131.img to revert back to original? If not, could I use terminal emulator on my phone to execute necessary commands?
Answer from adrynalyne was "Well, yeah. the PB31IMG.zip should work, as long as it lets you. The other method would need to be done if it won't."
I was able to resolve the problem by switching usb cord to a 3rd party from htc, go figure. Nevertheless, the USB issue has been cited in other forums and if anybody else runs into the problem, follow directions above, i.e. follow links.
TY to all who gave me advice, esp. adrynalyne.
hey, umm.. im having a similar problem. when i try to plug in my droid incredible with the leaked 8/1 froyo rom, nothing comes up on my PC, i am able to acces my sd card by going to computer, and then clicking my sd card. but when i did this, i also noticed that there was a new cd drive, which comes from my phone. does anyone know if this is a usb brick?
Apparently there is a vzw ISO. There are instructions on how to remove in another post. Search USB bricked. I can't post links otherwise I would.

Well, i tired it, but it didnt fix my auto start problem... and now, the cd drive doeant have a name, its juat cd drive:f
I was trying to put the hum/hiss sound fix on my sd card and I cannot get my pc to connect via USB...
My wife has a TP2 and it connects fine...
I have tried with/without the sd card in, rebooted the pc and phone, rebooted the phone while connected to the pc.... nothing...
wtf...
anyone else with this problem?
PS... NRGZ28 had posted a very basic rom for booting to android back in Feb and it is now gone from hotfile. Anyone know of a quick boot into android?
- Try a different computer
- Try a hard reset
That are the first thing you should do.
Tried hard reset...
Dif PC is not an option at the moment... I have rebooted...
Just flashed the ROM (NRGZ newest, thank goodness I had it on my SD card) and I still cant get it to sync...
I have attached the USB error I am getting... (Win7, new install)
The phone is not asking if I want to active sync or use as storage???? wtf...

Reboot your PC? lol bet your tried that already...
Try this:
settings > connections > usb to pc > and disable Faster Data Sync then try. This way uses the generic usb drivers and maybe it will connect.
That did not work...
How do I get my Win7 laptop to see the phone with Android on it?

dont think thats working yet
Ya I don't think that works yet, it's tied to Android software drivers and the use of the USB port, since there is no drivers to control the port only to charge battery. Windows thinks there is something there, but the phones USB can't communicate back....I think this is the issue or at lease after playing around with it on my phone anyway
Not that it's a huge amount of help but might troubleshoot down to the hardware level...if you go into bootloader mode on the phone and connect to USB does it connect?
I don't think you should go that deep and dirty. My touch pro 2 works only with only 1 (non-HTC) cable of the 10 i have at home, all are the "standard" mini-USB but only one works flawlessly for communicating/flashing/syncing, the other cables either do the same error - device not recognized - or windows says that the device could communicate faster - and only copies files slowly.
All in all: you should simply check with another USB cable or if you have the factory HTC cable try it with that. I noticed that the cable i am using other than the HTC one is a very good quality thick (low-resistance and double-shielded) USB cable and it never failed on me.
One other thing you should definitely watch for: plug the USB cable into the motherboard USB port directly (on the back of the PC where you plug the keyboard, mouse etc.), sometimes PC cases with front panel USB outputs simply die, or are wrongly attached to the motherboard USB header and it can cause the aforementioned problems too, not to mention if it is wrongly attached it could harm your phone too.
Hello guys, just gonna state my problem and ask a few questions.
So, here it is. If I connect my phone to pc/laptop nothing happens, no notifs appear on my phone neither mtp or mass storage. But, when I connect my phone through electricity socket it charges up. Oh, another thing sometimes when I connect my phone to pc/laptop ports it charges up but still no connection to storage/or phone. This just happened last night after from my hospital duty and got home and tried to flash fxp128(love this work) and my phone wont be recognized at all.
So, I've searched up google not that deep but, I found some issues just like mine. Some said its a the laptop problem just need a restart, change cables, remove battery, try in different computer/laptop and etc cases like those. Alreadt tried everthing of those but non seems to work. So, i think my phone hardware(the usb port in my phone) is really the problem. My questions are:
It is repairable?
The repair fee costly or not?
Will this thing will likely come up again?(low chance/high chance of getting this problem again.)
PS: I remember that while on the hospital(free time) i tried to open the rom manager but it fc's when i try launching it.(everytime)
- and my 8gb type 4 sd is broken even through card reader it cant be read. ( dont know what caused this) so i change to class 2 4gb my spare card.
Hope you answer me guys, thank you!
tbh. your phone worked perfectly, and after flashing fxp128 you get problems and directly assume your phone is broken Instead of going back to stock and figure out if it really is.
Usb connection problem could also be caused by not having the com.sonyericsson.usbux "systemapp" or other things.

Did you make a NaNdroid back up with CWM? That would be your best bet at this point.

Did have a nandroid backup but on fxp 127. Tried to use it but still no luck. Any suggestions/ideas?
If you're using windows, try to uninstall the portable device at device manager window, while the usb is attached to your phone. Then disconnect the phone after you've uninstalled. After that reconnect it once more and see to it that the drivers are installed properly. It's usually USB mass storage or MTP USB device storage.
my a2 lite does not connet to my pc, I have installed drivers, put it on usb debug, but my pc does not recognize de phone, I have tried different usb ports and cables with no success, it does charge eventually with some cables, but I don't know if this is hardware problem or there is any setting I am missing, it does not give me any choice of chosing the usb kind of conection
it is a new phone just prepped for everyday use, not hacked or modded in any way
USB OTG is working but only reading, I cannot write in external usb drive with es file explorer, or the includer file aplication, it says unsupported operation
any help?
Set hardware id in the adb_usb.ini file perhaps

thank you, but I cannot acces from adb as there is absolutely no conection from my computer, it only starts charging but as if it were just a charger, there is no usb mode options avalaible y my phone, and the pc does not recognize anything conected
I have tried to connect with another computer with the same results, it only gets power, but no data comunication whatsoever
as nobody gives any clue or info about some hidden setting, I must assume this is another case of bad quality control in xiaomi products, I will check with the seller
Did you specifically set file transfer mode via the notification drawer or left it on charge only?

the phone does not detect either that it is connected to a computer, so the notification to select the mode of connection does not even show
I have tried usb otg and I can read fine but I cannot write at all in a pendrive
I have installed also an sd card as internal memory and have storage errors all the time so I have removed it
I have tried also conection in fastboot mode but the computer still does not recognize anything connected
I have uses several cables, usb ports and even 2 different pc with same results
My only guess is that there were some hidden config setting that is messing with the phone, that's the reason I am asking before going to the seller.
Seems like a broken USB pin then

an usb pin should not affect internal sd memory, and usb does not work like water pipes, one pin data in one pin data out, they need both data pins for reading also, so as it can read from pendrive the problem is somewhere else, not in the connector.
This could be a hardware problem. Have you tried to connect it to another computer?
I have already tried on 3 diferent computers with same results. The only diference so far is that it actually does not read either the content of a pendrive connected through OTG, the first day it read it, now it only detects but reads nothing.
Also when sd is configured as internal memory, instead of reading internal memory, that seems to be the normal result, I can read only the sd card with android file explorers
I have the same problem.
No connection data with pc/mac, it only charges.
I'm italian and like many other italians, I've also the problem with Sim slot 2 with no connect..

F**k, this phone starts to look like a piece of garbage I dont connect to USB, I dont use SD not 2nd sim, so I did not experience these issues, but, f**k again..
Have you tried rebooting? Press the power button for 15secs. to power it off. Use another cable, use another PC, make sure the cable is plugged in properly... bla bla bla. Oh, have you tried placing the phone into a dry rice bowl? Haha (sorry, I had to). I'm sure you've tried it all.
So, I have not much to say. Only that I had a similar problem with a Moto G after I flashed a LineageOS ROM. It worked fine before, but with the new ROM, the USB didn't work at all (it could only read OTG). It was stuck in the "charging" mode. No notification nor option to turn it to file transfer. The PC didn't recognise it at all, either.
Solution? Initially, I turned on USB debuging option and the PC saw the phone (on windows device manager, it was there, but not on MyPc). It was some advance. I can't remember if adb detected it.
Final solution? Luckily my phone was rooted and had a custom recovery, so I could easily flash the same ROM from the TWRP recovery and everything works fine now.
You might try using Xiaomi's flash tool to try to flash the orginal ROM again IF the phone is recognised by the tool (try if it can see the phone) http://en.miui.com/download-354.html
And I suggest contacting Xiaomi for a warranty claim if needed, 'cause it looks like a harware problem (a pin the the microUSB port issue). But be ready to answer the questions posted above several times haha.
Good luck!

I have done all your sugestions previously, even reseting phone with a new gmail account so no config setting from other phone could interfere, I have also tried fastboot, but although phones goes to fast boot mode the pc does not recognize connection either
it is not an usb pin issue, tried 6 cables, 4 computers, 10 or more usb 2 an 3 ports, I am negotianting in aliexpress a refund, we'll see
If I go into recovery mode with power vol+ a broken android appears.

I don't know if you already did this, but try using a PC with Linux (you can use Ubuntu without installing it on the PC, then install the fastboot package).
Hi,
I had no problem with fastboot and adb with Mac!
Phone recognized by the machine and do transfer boot.img for magisk...
Now I Win!
I can see the internal memory with Android File Transfer (Trasferimento File Android in italian!) - this is the link https://www.android.com/filetransfer/.
My version of Build is V.9.6.8.0.
Solution:
- Connect the phone to pc/mac;
- Go to: Settings -> System -> Developer Options -> Select USB Configuration -> select first "Charge" and then "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol)
- The system recognize the phone!
[for italian, like me, andare su Impostazioni -> Opzioni Sviluppatore -> Seleziona Configurazione USB -> scegliere "Ricarica" e poi "MTP" (Media Transfer Protocol) ]

Where are you from? Where did did you purchase the phone (the actual store, is it in China)? Depending on where are you from and what country did you buy the phone from, by law, you'll get manufacturer warranty. So, any "official" distributor in your country will have to provide a warranty solution for you. If Ali Express is unable to provide you with a solution, look into that.
