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.

Connection via USB problems

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?

Problems Syncing: Connecting the cable makes the phone sluggish

Greetings,
I´m having a weird problem: my phone won´t sync anymore. It happened once in the past, but it was right before I tried a new ROM (flashing a new ROM made the problem dissipate).
But now it is persistent: when I connect the USB cable, the phone simply becomes sluggish, like a process eating 100% cpu. Disconnecting the USB cable instantaneously makes it responsible again.
Problem is, the PC won´t detect it anymore, so I can´t successfully sync. Does any1 have any idea about what is going on ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
fyi, I already connected the phone with task manager running, just to see if any hidden app would come up eating 100% cpu. No luck - everything seems to be normal in task manager.
fyi2, connecting the charger won´t make it sluggish - only the usb cable connected to the pc.

Remove/reinstall Activesync from PC, maybe....
Hard reset, maybe....

This is normal, I have seen it on WM6, 6.1, also a X51 running WM5 I guess..

Thanks guys. I´ll try reinstalling ActiveSync.
Funny thing is, just tried syncing with Bluetooth and it worked... It just won´t work via USB...

Update: uninstalled windows mobile device center and drivers (Im using Vista 64 btw). Installed it again and... it won´t recognize the phone (in device manager the driver has an exclamation mark).
Does any1 know how to get the driver working ?

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

Xperia Usb Connection and Charging Problem...

Hai..
iam new bie, i just newly purchased xperia xli. after using 4 month, iam now facing some problem, every time if i need to charge or connection for active sync i need to restart, and this repeats every time. and if i try to open task manager or Device information in settings it will give an error
"cannot open 'ctlpnl'. A critical conponent is either missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable. Tap start> settings > system tab> task manager, stop programs that did not automatically stop and try again".
and i cannot even make screen off by pressing power button for that also i need to restart.
So please give me some information regarding this so that i can solve this problem.
Thank you

for more information i will provide my device information
software version: R3AA003
ROM VERSION: 1.05.931.3 WWE

xperia usb connection problem
i see no one is taking this matter seriously
i have googled for the past 4 weeks and it seams many people are having this problem with xperia/wm6 devices - its just that not many of them understand the problem and know how to express themselves (e.g. many belive it's a problem with the pc's usb ports)
i would suggest does interested in IT mysteries and things like that to look into this one. i can explain the problem here:
I've used xperia/windows mobile 6 device for about 6 months, syncing it daily or semi daily (or weekly..) all that time via USB connection and active sync installed on winxp.
one day i plugged the usb cord into my phone and - nothing. the phone has started charging as thou it's connected to a charger and not to a PC - one of the first things i noticed cause i specifically always have the "don't charge the device while connected to a pc" box ticked on.
what is very important to know is that NOTHING of the following didn't fix this problem:
changing cords
changing ports
changing pc's
soft reset via button on the back
hard reset
nudging the cable
usb hub pc connection
direct pc connection
updating windows mobile
toggling ANY option in the OS itself
charging/discharging the device
changing the chargin cable, then connecting
leaving it off without a battery for a long period of time (12+ hours)
---------all other idiotic suggestions that are being written all over the net by dumb asses who think they can shoot a guess and come of as smart guys---------
bear in mind that this happened after absolutely no physical damage to the device or any kind of extreme working conditions, exceeded cpu/memory use etc.
it would be great if someone could solve this mystery. activesync is still working via Bluetooth but it's just stupid to transfer files over the slow bluetooth connection whilst having a USB connection as one of the greatest advantages of this kind of a device
i kindly thank in advance to anyone having some kind of an idea about how it's possible for a USB connection to just stop working, for absolutely no reason.
bye&cheers!
Matija

Anyone has the solution for this problem? Like Matija said, it happened suddenly for no reason... My x1 has been facing this problem for 3 weeks
I cannot update my phone via my PC

I recently having problem with my X1 syncing with my home PC and charging from my Laptop
Now I found out that, those mini USB cable might be good enough to charge the phone, or even trying to sync, but then it gets error more and more often. So try getting some better quality cables (ie. those with "Magnetic Shield" near the end), see if that fix the problem
good luck
