Hi, my Touch HD is still under warranty but I'm running Hard SPL 1.56.Olinex.
My USB is not working, it just charges my phone. My SD Card reader is also not working... So I can only connect via BT and I can't find any way of restoring SPL without USB/SD... Is it impossible?

Do u try a HARD RESET? If you try a Hard Reset and still have the same Problem you can do some of the things.. tell me witch ROM u use.. maybe the USB problem that don`t wana sync is from the ROM.. also sometimes when you flash a 6.5 ROM the CARD is not visable one FOrmat normaly will clear the things but its bad when you cannot conetc to format via PC
The Best you can do is to flash Another ROM via SD Card but 1st you need to make your SD card working so if you have some SD adapter or some other device that you can take out your SD card from the Phone and conect it directly to the PC will be perfect to FORMAT it.. Once the problem with your CArd is fixed you can just put there some new ROM and Flash the Device...
Its very Bad when on the same time the USB and Card not working but don`t worry you can fix the things but its not so easy.
I'm running official HTC Touch HD_MR_2009_RUU_BlackStone_HTC_PTG_1.56.410.0_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship.exe... I can connect to PC via BT and copy files...

Yes but the NEW Cooocked ROm is around 170MB so you will need few days to copy this via BT also when your SD card not working this is not posible because the ROM file must to be located in the root of the SD card
Now i understand that you use STOCK ROM so the best you can do is to go in HTC service for Warranty i was thinking you have a problem with Coocked ROM but when is with STOCK ROM its not your fault.
The problem is that I've installed Hard Spl... If I take it to HTC they probably are gonna say it's not covered by warranty...
If you use usb to charge your phone than datacommunication with your pc has to work.
Which OS are you running, because when you entering the bootloader your pc doesn't see your phone as a mobile device anymore.
If you're running WMDC and entering the bootloader than Vista or W7 is searching for new drivers..... If not found read this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524619
For XP you have to install the drivers yourself.
They can also be found in the link.
When the drivers are installed en your phone is synced than it will show USB in bootloader.
After that flash back to stock SPL
Hopefully this is will help you, your problem is very strange
Because of a not workin SD card and a not working USB
I wish you luck!
Thx! I'll give it a try tonight... but I don't think that will help because I've hard-reset the device and tried with Windows 7 and Windows XP and nor the phone nor the pc show any message.
I remember that the SD card did show up, but after a few seconds it would disappear... But now it never shows up... Already changed usb options on control panel...
The last thing I did when the SD was ok was trying Android with no luck.
I believe it's really an hardware problem and maybe I could replace the board that has SD/USB/SIM but would like to use my warranty....
If you update usb drivers there's a good chance that your device will show up on pc. Don't forget to 'enable usb connections' in activesync connections settings
Also if this doesn't work try flashing orginal stock rom which came with your device. This rom, and only this rom, will still flash as long as you are connected to pc (doesn't need to say 'usb' at bottom of bootloader). Alternatively try MTTY

I had a very similar problem when I last tried andriod. first of all my sd card dropped off, It would go in, be seen and then drop again as soon as I tried to access it. Android had corrupted it. Try reformatting your SD card fat32, copy the rom on and try updating the ROM again using your SD card.
It also busted my pc drivers on my pc, I had to uninstall them completely and then load the latest drivers. If you have another pc try it on this first before faffing with your USB drivers.
Once my sd card was back I couldnt flash any roms, no usb connection. I did a hard reset and then went into spl manually and set it running that didnt seem to work but when my phone rebooted usb was backup.
It seems andriod manager to corrupt my ROM, SD card and uSB drivers on my PC, I havent bothered with Android since and wont until there is a bootable ROM available (never)?
Your USB cable may be bad. Sometimes they stop working and pc communications stops. I've had to replace my usb cables from time to time.

Last time I had something like this, I had to remove the HD from windows mediaplayer. For some reason it was there as plain "storage card" if I remember correctly. After that I could connect normally with the HD again.
*Have you verified that your SD Card is actually working at all?
*-I've had a problem in the past with an "old" SD Card that wouldn't recognise properly in either my PC or my phone. Turns out all i had to do was clean the contacts on it lightly. My original 8Gb SD Card that came with my Blackstone has also completely died. It will not format, will recognise then drop-off and attempting to use it in ANY manner resulted in it becoming excessively hot - Dead card, not replaceable under warranty
*If the SD Card works in your PC, have you tried formatting it to "Device Defaults" via the PC?
*-This problem has in the past also prohibited me from using my SD Card in my Blackstone. For some devices, without certain registry tweaks enabled, only particular formats of SD Cards are recognised. I have also noticed that the card must be formatted in a particular way to be useable as a ROM Flashing card. The Blackstone simply won't read any images from the card in bootloader mode if the card is formatted improperly.
* Try another USB Cable, being able to charge via USB does NOT mean it WILL sync, for example, if your USB cable has bent/damaged contacts, or if the cable itself has a broken lead, the VCC (voltage core) and GND (ground) leads can still create a circuit to send power to the device which will enable it to charge.
*-Also try other USB ports... you never know when one maybe too dusty / dirty / faulty
* Windows 7 / Vista? Uninstall Window Mobile Device Centre (WMDC) re-download and reinstall, or allow Windows Update to do this for you after you've uninstalled. A simple registry error can fark this right up. I should know, as I recently accidentally imported my Blackstone's registry backup to my laptop... ugh that was a nightmare. Windows 7 recovered, but I spent a few days browsing with the wrong user-agent, meaning a lot of websites were redirecting to their "mobile" or "wap" counterparts...ewwww
* Windows XP? Well I can't say too much there, as I haven't used it pretty much since Vista was released years ago. Just do your best to make sure all drivers are updated appropriately.
other sd card
have you tired a different sd card there are known issues with some types of cards sd vs' sdhc and class 2 vs' class 6 cards. Also you may have a bad usb cable? Do you have .net framework installed. are you trying all this on the same computer you used to flash your phone with hspl. You can try putting your phone into bootloader mode wait for usb to appear on the bottom of the tri-color screen and then reflash stock spl from there by opening the BlackstoneRUUWrapper and going through the steps it should see your phone. See the wiki!
And why did you hspl if you have a stock rom?
I did a sim-unlock and didn't restore the spl after the process... I was waiting for the perfect 6.5 ROM...
I didn't have time to test it yesterday but I brought it with me and will try again later...
I already tested the SD in other Windows Mobile phones and was ok... The SD is not the original (Transcend) but a SanDisk 8GB but already tried it with a 2GB SD and nothing. Also tried with different cables. And in different PCs (windows xp and Windows 7). Also did a hard-reset.
Nothing worked! When I enter bootloader with usb cable connected there is no SERIAL and no USB message, but if I remove the cable it changes to SERIAL and doesn't change anymore. On the PC, with XP, W7 and Ubuntu, nothing happens... lsusb gives nothing... on device manager it doesn't show up.
Regarding the SD card, when I insert it the screen turns on, but still no storage card detected... I really think it's an hardware problem.... I ordered this, just in case, http://cnn.cn/shop/touch-simmicrousb-card-module-p-7149.html, but will still try to take it to warranty before because there is a seal over one of the screws...
Thank you all!

I can access my sd card through a reader but I can't access my phone through usb (but it still charges). I have 2 partitions, one is fat32 (with some music, pictures and stuff) and another is ext3 (i reformatted it last night thinking it might be that but it wasn't)
Basically, I've tried it on xp, vista, win7 but win7 and vista it says it has malfunctioned and then when I go device manager its called unknown device
I have used swapper and most likely did try to mount my phone which I've heard screws up your card. So before I do it do I need to reformat my fat32 partition and if I do have to should I reformat it to fat32 or fat?
Or is there another solution?
Thank you
Have you tried formatting it from within the G1. settings->sd card -> format? You'll want Fat32 if formatting elsewhere, also if you want multiple partitions I'd try formatting the whole card first, then partitioning/formatting again.
Make sure you have a drive letter assigned to the FAT32 partition. (Eg. F:/)
hmmm
On xp it just says unknown device, I've reformated from my pc (the fat32 partition) maybe it would be an idea to do it from the phone. I just don't know what to do tbh I mean its weird. Do you think its to do with app2sd?
hmm
And I can't sign a driver letter because it doesn't come up with mount on my phone all it does it charge

Are you using the data cable that came with the phone? I lost mine a while back and tried using just a regular USB to Type A (the port on the phone) on the phone and got the same results. It'll use the power from the USB drive but won't mount or even connect.
Also, you might want to try to install the Android USB Driver for Windows. It's floating around here somewhere, just do a search for it.
If you have adb installed there's a command called ?adb kill server? or something like that. Sry on phone right now but a google search should help. Sometimes this process has been knows to fix similar problems where the pc doesn't recognize the phone. Not sure why it woult effect mass storage tho. But wth worth a try I suppose.
Well I'm using the data cable that came with the phone, adb remount just gives error:device not found and I have usb drivers because I have used this phone on this laptop before so you know
This is annoying
I've tried reflashing my spl but still no dice, I just dont get it :S
Like everyone else has stated, Format your entire card to fat32 and setup your partitions again. That should do it. the SPL doesn't really affect it. GL
Ill have a go
Right I'm going to have a go now
Ill tell you my results
Good luck Kushion!
I had the same problem only my sd card would actually show and mount for a second then unmount. I finally gave up and went and bought an sd card .
this is what I do now.
vm ware player http://www.vmware.com/products/player/
I believe with this running and a guest os I can mount the sd card.
I know for sure that I can do it with ubuntu but im not completely sure with windows 7.
This is also good for "sandboxing" programs or testing files to see if they have a virus. by running the guest os in the virtual software you are not infecting your main os . I use it when i wanna test things but dont wanna run the risk of borking my main os.
god daaaaaaaaammit
right I have deleted the ext3 partiton and then reformated it all to fat32, I then wiped, I then reinstalled cyragon firmware and booted and guess what...
doing the same thing :|
It lets in power but doesn't let me mount, doesnt even give me the option
I am having the same exact problem. My work computer, have always used it, same cable, same everything, then all of the sudden today I came to work, had some downtime was going to mess with my phone and it won't recognize my phone. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers at least ten times but to no avail. Any help greatly appreciated.

I know this is a bit old, but the topic got bumped and I saw this one... I do most of my "work" on my phone here at the office, and just use a standard MiniUSB cord with no problem. Not that you're the first one I've heard say that, but I don't think your phone (or PC?) is working right if that is the problem.. The ExtUSB cable that comes with the phone has standard data pins, just extra headset pins - that's the only difference.

Reboot the PC? Maybe an obvious question, but just in case. And.. It sounds like you have a reasonable level of admin access to the PC, but just in case - are you sure your employer hasn't blocked mass storage devices? I'm in IT myself, so I can use it on my PC.. But if I tried to plug my G1 into any of our other PCs here, it would happily charge away but never mount the drive, due to our security policies.
Wow old thread but similar problem...
My wife's G1 won't mount to pc as a mass storage device, however mine does without a problem. I have the drivers, sdk. I can see the phone through adb, it just won't mount. Also, I've tried it on both our pc's which are win7 x64. Check sig for phone details.
After all of my other problems... HardSPL is finally on correctly and I checked.
I have Kovsimg.nbh on my FAT 32 microSDHC card. I got to bootloader, saw OliNex whatever. It goes to loading. Then "Image not found!"
Had this problem before with official ROMs as well... Had to use SEUS.
What the hell is the problem with this?
My USB port has been unreliable so far, so I dont want to chance using CustomRUU (I dont know how to use it anyway).

Custom RUU is easy. Just leave your phone on and plugged into the USB. Make sure you have the image file renamed to RUU_signed.nbh. Start Custom RUU. Follow the steps in Custom RUU. And Voila! It turns the phone into the Boot Loader automatically and you can watch the progress on your monitor. I use it all the time. I don't like to copy everything off my SD card onto the HDD and I don't have a spare SD card to leave the SD card blank with only the image file.
You don't have to copy everything off your sd card, just put Kovsimg.nbh in the root of your card and everything is good to go.
Copy your .nbh file to the root of your sd card and rename it to Kovsimg.nbh.
Boot phone with holding : vol down + power keys until the color screen appears.
it should find the image now, else use ruu on a friends pc.
remember to active sync first...
regards
I dont have a Kingston card, but maybe I'll try using my Corsair 512mb microSD later today.
My main problem with CustomRUU is that the USB connection to my phone isnt stable. What would happen if it suddenly DC'd?
EDIT: Ahah, so using my Corsair card instead of my A-Data card works.

You have had problems with the USB Connection to your X1 before? Then dont flash via USB / Custom RUU. Thats really too risky then.
It first flashes the Bootsector and a few other things, then begins with the OS parts. If the connection is cancelled while flashing the Bootsector etc. you may get some serious problems as your device wont boot anymore (search for putty btw. if this happens to you).
When there is an Error while the OS is updating you can flash again. I had this once with a non-clear sdcard that the installation did not go over 99%. A reflash with a clear card worked without problems.
For whatever reason, my T2 will not connect to my Win 7 machine running mobile device center. Have gone to the extent of wiping both and starting from scratch, is there a way to flash a ROM without connecting it to a pc or another alternative?
THANKS!
Yes, you can flash from the SD card. There are instruction on how in the n00b guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
But basically just use a USB card reader to put the .nbh on the SD card. Put the Sd back in the phone and go into bootloader.
Thanks! I'll give it a shot.
Didn't work, error and failure of transfer of files to SD card connected as external storage. I just wish I knew why I can't connect to WMDC....it doesn't make sense....
Try re-formatting the card, FAT32 as indicated in the n00b instructions.
It's already in FAT 32. I've been flashing roms since my first htc 3 years ago. I've never had a problem until this rom/issue with my computer. I've always synced through the PC and I can't get the damned thing to connect. It's frustrating the hell out of me because this rom keeps hanging and freezing.
Are you using the phone or a card reader to put the .nbh file on theSD card?
I've tried both. I think it's getting to the point where it's the PC i'm using. Which is a problem as all my other computers are Mac or Linux. If WMDC would work I wouldn't be having this problem which is an issue with this PC, I can't get the file over which at this point has to be a problem with this PC. Guess I'm screwed until I can get my hands on someone else's PC... aren't I? I do really appreciate the help!
If you're getting an error using a card reader, the SD card might need to be reformatted. Yes, it might be the PC. But if you don't have any valuable data on the card, I'd try to format it and see if that helps. Also try different USB ports, they can be finnicky sometimes.
There's too much on it to wipe the card until I can get back to one of my Macs over the weekend. This is the first real issue i've had and none of it makes any sense as to why the pc/wmdc won't see or set up a partnership with the phone. I'll try wiping the card when I can, was hoping there was a way to get rid of this rom as it really sucks.
Do you have "Enable faster data synchronization" unchecked under Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC? Some people have had success getting ActiveSync to connect after disabling this, especially with Vista and Windows 7.
What ROM is giving you the headaches, if I may ask?
It just says one of the usb devices connected to this computer has malfunctioned. I have tried reloading drivers. Reflashed ICS onecosmic 4.2 again, Tried another usb cable but all no good! HELP ME PLEASE!! My wifes phone connects no worries. I even tried connecting mine to another computer and that was no good either......
It will charge when connected to computer so thats working but it wont connect
Do you have the nexus drivers installed? as the samsung ones wont work with the ics port.
They are part of the android sdk found here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html (instructions on page on how to install ect , there is also a link to download drivers only here : www.multiupload.com/BUCFT8M42N , but that seems to be down atm.
If Nexus S drivers don't fix it, clean your micro usb port.
I had a similar issue with Windows stating that my connection was malfunctioning. Cleaning the micro usb port with some rubbing alcohol and a micro brush (for cleaning teeth) fixed that problem for me.
Don't forget to take your battery out before cleaning your micro-usb port.
Thanks guys going to give this a go now.
Found another direct download link here : http://androiddrivers.net/samsung-android-drivers/download-nexus-s-drivers/
Thanks guys but no luck. Tried cleaning it but no luck either. I have recalled getting rain on the phone the other day and the usb cover was open! I think this is what has caused it.....Question is can I load new ICS Roms etc onto my external SD via a sd card in computer then transer them onto my internal card to flash? Then I wont have to worry about the usb....
Anyone know the answer
Your recovery doesnt allow flashing from external SD cards? Weird... Otherwise, you should be able to open up internal storage from any (Good) File manager. I use FX and FileXplorer to move files back and forth.
Make sure to move the files to internal sdcard first

Well thanks for your help guys, I ended up flashing 4.0.4 rom on my phone and now its working....I dont know that maybe it dried out and self fixed or it was a rom issue??
Hello guys,
I had CM7 running for a while because of its stability. However, I have used CM9 as well for a long time on my P990. Today, I was planning to revert back to CM9 and connected the phone to the computer but the internal memory nor the memory card shows up in my computer. I tried two different laptops and also reflashed cm7 which was already present in my memory card. Still no luck.
When I connect the phone, I get the bell, alert or whatever you want to call it from windows that it has detected that a usb device has connected. Though nothing shows up in my computer. USB Debugging is switched on. And I also press the notification on the phone which should allow me to transfer files between phone and computer.
Im out of ideas, please help.
Re-install the LG USB drivers, found here in the developers section.
I had the same problem when I flashed my phone and everytime I changed roms, I would have to install the drivers again.

And if reinstalling the drivers does not help for whatever reason, and if all that you're trying to do is to push the CM9 rom files from your PC to the SD on your phone, then try following the tip from XDA-TV using SSHDroid. It worked well for me.

The example in the video is with a Ubuntu machine, but you can follow the same steps for using PC with Putty and WinSCP.
And I haven't tried this, but another alternative is using adbwireless available through Play:
