USB interface not working after bad flash. What to do?

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.

After I flash ROMs, won't sync

Everytime I flash a ROM, my Tilt won't sync. I plug it in and the computer doesn't recognize anything. Bring up ActiveSync on the Tilt and it tells me that I need to install the software on the computer.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this?

USB settings...
Try changing the "advance USB connection" under the USB configuration... For some reason on my WindowsXP desktop it must be UNCHECKED but on my Vista laptop it must be CHECKED... if I do not make the change it will not do anything (you hear the connection sound but it never recognizes the device)... works great otherwise. Hope it helps.

ok I unchecked the box and that made it recognize the device (it says "connecting...authenticating" on the Tilt) but it still doesn't show up on the computer except for a "safely remove hardware" thing pops up in the bottom.

Sounds like you need to update/upgrade your MS Activesync. Also make sure that Activesync is actively running on your Tilt (running in task manager). The new(er) taskmanager will close all programs including activesync even in the middle of a sync if you hit the close-all (x).

No, I have the latest version on my computer. That's not the problem. And it's definitely open on the Tilt.

Sorry but I'm out of idea's only thing I can think of is an error when you flashed the ROM I had a similar problem before I flashed my ROM. When I was unlocking my phone I had the same problem but it corrected itself after I flashed the ROM try reflashing the ROM or a deferent ROM.

Have you gone through the whole "Detection" process on your computer? Tried plugging the phone in directly (not through a usb hub), etc? And lastly, delete the association and then plug it in again?
Since I moved to 6.1 I've had a lot more trouble with ActiveStink. Most of the time it doesn't recognize the phone first thing, but I found that plugging the phone directly to the computer makes it work better. Why I need to do this now and never did before I don't know.
Bluetooth also sometimes is more reliable for me.... but sometimes not! AS is very annoying, and gives zero information when it fails.

help - connecting to PC via usb not working

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.

x1 connection problem

Good day,
I've been trying to connect my X1 to a win7 x64 pc but not sure why, i can get it to connect via bluetooth to winmo device center but when i try to use usb cable, no luck, maybe i am missing some drivers and I cannot use windows update since i don't have access to internet at the moment and probably won't have for a while. i thought it should atleast work as mass storage but it just wont detect it and winmo device center fails to install a driver. i searched around but no luck with it. is there any way i can download the drivers from somewhere or maybe if i can hardspl my phone from a storage card??. any help will be appreciated.

Please help - I have tried everything I can before being advised to register here

Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S on the O2 network in the UK.
Before registering here I have tried my best to sort this myself but I really do need some expert advice now. Please!!
I have tried and tried to update the KIES software but no matter what my PC will not connect to the phone it just says 'connecting' and hangs on that
I've tried on an XP machine and a Windows 7 machine and neither work
I'm currently on software 2.1 and would like to update to 2.2
Are there known problems with connecting the phone to a PC?
I've even tried connecting it so the PC would just view it as an external hard drive but again it doesn't connect and the PC does not recognise the phone.
I can't transfer any music or videos to the phone at the moment obviously and that's what I'm hoping to achieve with some kind help off here. I'd also like flash player which I believe is part of the 2.2 update?
Thanks in advance

Hi
I take it you have an external micro sd card in the phone? Mine wont connect without.
If you do, you should check whether the drivers are ok by connecting via USB. Goto settings, "Wireless and Network", select usb settings and click "ask on connection". Reconnect the usb and the phone should ask you what connection you want, click mass storage.
If that fails, probably a driver issue. Uninstall Kies and samsung drivers and reinstall the latest version of Kies (google Kies)

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll do what was advised and report back
I'm assuming once this phone is updated it's a dream to use!
Cheers

I personally find it's a dream to use if you're using the modded roms..
That does kinda void your warranty though

Just a few tips which entered my mind:
- older versions of Kies do not connect if you changed the launcher on your phone from touchwiz to something else (i.e. Launcherpro or Zeam)
- it's strange it doesn't even connect in storage mode. How are your usb settings (Settings, Wireless & Networks, USB Settings), is it set to Kies or "Ask". When set to Ask or Storage Mode, you still should pull down the notification bar when connecting to make a choice.
- does the pc bleep to indicate it at least senses a device attached? Have you tried different USB ports?
