My Trinity device is not recognized by any of my 3 pc's using any of USB ports. The problem started when I wanted to try a different ROM. I currently have 20070418_RUU_Trinity_LVSW_WWE_1.25.0.8 installed. I wanted to install img-32424-mUn_1_25_AKU3_5 but during the reboot after the ROM transfer the connection failed for the USB connection, after which I gave up and thought well let's try again and soft resetted the device. However I was never able to get a Active Sync session going again. The OS is still booting fine so I feel I am trying to fix something which is not entirely broken. I also tried the suggestion for flashing from SD card, but that did not load the TRINIMG.nbh file as I hoped (and read) it would. So I have a IR connection and possibly a bluetooth connection (I left my bluetooth module at work so I cant test this) Will this be my free ticket out of jail? Thanks for your input.
I seem to remember something about someone loosing USB connectivity after installing and messing with the GPS icon. This probably won't help but I would try in your case.
Start>Settings>Connections>GPS
Program Port>None
Hardware Port>None
Baud>9600
Check manage GPS automatically
Exit & turn phone off
Turn phone back on
Doesn't work?
You are no worse off
Works?
Reset hardware port to Com 9
Uncheck manage automatically
Leave program port to off
Set GPS software to com 9 9600
tried it, but didnt work.
Does the USB connection work in bootloader mode by any chance? (Hold the power and camera buttons down and reset with the stylus).
Try to delete the ActiveSync partnership on both the PDA and computer and then reestablish it ... it may have nothing to do with USB at all.
Problem went away after I forgot to turn off the PDA while it was connected to the wireless. It apparently didnt switch itself of because it was dead when I tried to turn it on. After charging it for a while I could turn it on, and as by a miracle the USB interface finally connected properly with my laptop. It didnt give the error "Windows has encountered an unknown device on your USB port" So thanks for all your input sofar.

Hi
First of all try to reinstall Microsoft ActiveSync, than in the ActiveSync options, in your device, be sure that in "Connections..." setting "Synchronize all PC by this connection" is checked and below "USB" showed!
Otherwise, if your device, when connected to the PC, also doesn't charge (if you have this option enebled on your PDA!) there is some problem on your PC settings concerning the USB! Try to connect to someother PC to test it!
Ciao
thx...

hello there, first n foremost thanks for your input!
Before trying out your possible solution i tried to connect and for some reason i was able to connect via the device today...??!!
i really dont know why, but will try your soln if this situation reocurrs.
NB: this happenned to me twice in the last 3-4 months, n i never figured out the cause ??
any other advice or ideas gratefully accepted.;
its probably the same as me and loads of other people - the pins have bent on your usb connector - probably caused by using non standard chargers and usb leads. Its been widely reported. The non-standard leads have too much space around them when plugged in and wiggle causing the connector on the tytn II to bend. Try using the lead which came in the box and see if it helps. and try using the charger that came with it too.
Can bent pins be fixed?
Hello -- I'm one of those people with a non-recognition problem. Is it possible to fix the bent pins? My problem seems to have begun around the time I lost my original USB cable. Now, all the cables I have -- ones that have been specifically sold to work with my HTC Tilt -- have the symmetrical, sort-of-trapezoidal mini-usb connection, rather than the rectangle-with-one-corner-cut-off shape of the original cable. I should say these cables do charge my device, but none of my computers recognizes it as a USB device.
Help?
Thank you,
J. Georgia
bent pins continued
I should add that the charging cable that originally came with my phone has the same connector shape, so I'm not sure what's going on.
USB Device not recognised
This is known to happen at times win Windows, and not just for the TYTN2 but a myriad of devices.
The fastest fix for this:
Reboot ur PC/ Laptop.
If this Doesn't help - Then add in a reboot for the TYTN 2 also.
The problem will go away for some time.
I know its annoying, but this is way faster than troubleshooting for contacting MicroShaft Support.

Unfortunately this is no soution for me. I seem to have this problem as well, since about two weeks.
I use two notebooks (Dell & Acer) and both do not show any activity when connecting my Kaiser to the original USB cable. The device is not even switched on when I connect it, nor does this happen when I connect it to the (original) cable in my car, which did work before.
Charging works fine, both in the car and when connected to both notebooks, but no Sync at all.
I have tried another USB-cable with the same result, so I suspect some hardware-problem causing me to be unable to copy files between my notebook and my phone and worse, rendering me unable to flash a new ROM onto it.
Who knows what to do next?
I am mystified, too. USB Charging and audio connections work. I have rebooted my computer and done a soft reset on my phone several times, to no effect. I uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center. Still nothing at all via USB. Once, yesterday, I somehow got a Bluetooth connection long enough to sync, but haven't been able to since then. Even then, Windows Media and AudibleManager couldn't see the phone. The really weird thing is, I can see the phone connection in my Bluetooth manager, but even with all the proper boxes checked, I can't sync. When I try from my device, I get an empty progress box which disappears after a fraction of a second. When I try from my computer, it says the device is not connected, but doesn't give me any option to connect.
Would a hard reset help?
If so, would returning an unlocked AT&T Tilt to factory defaults lock it back up? And what do I do if it does?
Please help!

I have had similar problems with my touch pro in the past, even bluetooth internet sharing eventually gave up the ghost.
I tried a myriad of leads and then eventually reinstalled active sync- which did the trick.

I've had the same problem with my first Tilt. There's multiple threads that detail this known problem. Some seem to be due to bent pins, some are general hardware failures (possibly the USB controller). There are some HardSPL images out there that have a "force usb" option enabled. This never worked for me, but it might be worth a shot for you.
...a word of warning....
If you end up reflashing your phone (via MicroSD) and the flash goes bad, you may be stuck, as many of the solutions for repairing a bad flash require you to USB sync. My first Tilt was a victim of this after a bad stock ROM flash that left my device without audio, and unable to flash via MicroSD.
replace usb board
you need to replace your usb board. It will run you less than $10 if you do it yourself. you can get the board on ebay
really? 4 years later?
I don't know how it happened but all of a sudden when I connect my Kaiser to my computer via USB cord, it doesn't connect. It charges my phone but it doesn't let me explore my phone. Activesync or Windows Mobile Decive Center do not read my phone.
I don't know if this matters, but when I go into COMM MANAGER (I don't know if I unchecked anything by accident) but the Data Connection tab is turned off and I can't turn it on.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can sync my phone again?
I tried a hard reset, i tried a soft reset, i tried different mini USB cords but NOTHING worked...
A couple things.
Under the settings tab there should be an option for " enhanced USB networking". try to enable/ disable this.
Also, it is possible your USB port is no longer functioning properly. A search for USB Problems yields MANY results, some of the fixed include simple things such as reflashing a new rom/radio , to the extremes of having the USB port replaced on the mainboard.
Also, have you tried to sync it to more than just 1 computer? Try on a couple. Make sure your activesync isnt the cause.
Just like pyraxiate said, try toggling the enhanced usb networking opetion. Also give your mini usb port on your phone a visual inspection, its not uncommon for it to crack (mine's cracked before).
If all looks good, restart your computer and soft reset your device. Google for activesync restart, theres 2 or 3 apps that completely kill activesync and restart it. It also wouldn't hurt to check another PC to see isolate the problem.
GOT IT, thanks for your help guys. I went to Settings>Connections>USB to PC and then unchecked 'enable advanced network functionality' and it worked!
Glad to hear this one was a simple one
Have fun here on XDA!
same problem
I have been having problems getting my usb to connect/sync also and thanks for the idea to check for a crack in the mini usb port. I am new to all this, this is my first pocket pc - or even smart phone before Is there an easy way to fix this problem or is a "send back to company" fix only?

1 more thing, when i charge the phone in the car he was getting hot. and i power off my phone and out my battery and start over my phone again.

hi
was it a third party car kit?
sometimes when you start your car you can get a power surge though it and it burns the usb port.
This happen to me and I had to send it back to be fixed. (it cost me to fix it)
also have a look here it may help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=457255&highlight=charging
i try to make a bootloader but i can't
so i i make a hard reset ?
and what will when i make it... this start my rom over again like the first time that i install it ?
ammm after i doin a hard reset its still doesn't work for me...
some 1 ? ...
have you tried a different USB cable.
I had a similar issue before and it turned out it was the USB cable itself.
yeah i try it...
Did you try it on another computer?
When you connect the phone to the USB port, do you get the popup asking how you would like to use it? *ActiveSync, USB Disk, internet sharing)
If you don't get one, check your settings: Start Menu -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC.
Check what the options are and if the "Ask me first about USB connection" is enabled.
Reconnect the phone and see if it works.
If it still doesn't work, you should check the Device Manager in your Windows computer (if you use one that is). See if the device is recognised. You can try to remove the device and reinstall the drivers for it.
ai try on snythere computer and nothing. the phone asking me about active,usb disk and internet sharing. and also nothing. so i thing that my usb connecting s burn imself. lucky that we have bluetooth, slowly but it fine... 10q for trying helping me
maybe this works
hi,
I had the same problem, try this:
go to preferences > connections > usb to pc > and uncheck the advanced networking checkbox.
After that it worked for me. BUT! I Was unable to connect to the internet on my phone through my usb cable!
So I just uninstalled active sync disconnected my phone, checked advanced networking back on again and reinstalled active sync, be sure to remove all previous pairings between your pc and your phone. I hope this works for you
greets Daan
ps always make a back up of your contacts and stuuf when uour doing these kind of things, active sync just sucks *****
nope, nothing...
**** man must be hardware:s i hope not.
cant think of anything else but to send it back for repair
good luck

Same problem here. It won't even flash from the MicroSD card!
Plese help us find a solution (if it's not a hardware issue) ..
in Active sync you must disable USB connection and youll system find Quallcomm MSM system . In this state you can flash a rom via bootloader (reset button + camera button)
Go into ActiveSync settings on your device...should be a checkbox for "enhanced functionality" or something like that. Try unchecking that, resetting, and connecting to your PC again.
Maybe a PC problem?
As you installed SP2 and it changes firewall setting, try disable the firewall for a while and check if AS connection gets successfull...
If so, the easyest way to solve the problem maybe uninstalling and reinstalling ActiveSync so the setup correctly creates/updates the exception list of your windows Firewall.
Hi, ive got little problem, maybe i turned something off, or i dont really know. When i try to connect my phone via usb cable into PC nothing happens, its only charging my phone, its not communicating in any way with PC. i've tried several usb cables but with no success. even the charing cant be turned off, when i press do not charge while connected (or whatever it is) nothing happens, and it keeps charging. ive got dutty's rom (but dunno which one, its the one with HD2 manilla)
thanks a lot for help
Hi.
is the usb connections menu appearing when you connect the device to PC? (on your TD2..where you can choose between Activesync, Hard Disk mode and Internet sharing..). USB connection used to work and stopped after something was installed? Try to reinstall Activesync or Windows Mobile Devices Centre in your PC (depending on you OS) or, as a last resort, hard reset your phone (backup your stuff !). I would also try to connect it to a different pc, just to be sure..Be also sure that the following options in Start/Settings/Connections/Usb to PC are:
Activesync [checked]
Fast data synch (or whatever it is) [checked]
Put a checkmark on the last option if you want this menu to come up every time you plug the USB cable.
ive tried it on several PCs but no success, so its not PC problem, no tab of choosing which type of connection to use appears. Like it's only charging, not communicating with pc i guess that i need to hard reset it >.<
hard reset didnt work, still no connection between pc and phone, i dont know what to do >.< hope that its not hardware problem. any ideas ???
same thing happened to my D2. i had to send it in for a repair
that's what i was afraid about,,, HTC warranty service here in svk/cze is not-so good as i've heard. And another problem is that i have cooked ROM on. With usb not working there is no f-ing way to get stockSPL back . Wonder if they repair it, or if i would have to pay
You can flash stock rom through SD card, about sspl I´m not sure.
so i guess the phones from svk/cze have fulty usb ports because mine was also from there. the thing with me was that i live in USA so i had to wait for them to get the parts and they scratched my phone so i had to send it in. i got it back then the screen was scratched. i had to send it in again and when i got it back the camera didn't work. i argued with them so much that they just gave me a new one.
