[Q] PC Not Recognizing Cappy

I'll try to keep this as short as possible. After installing Perception 9.5 on my phone my PCs started to fail to recognize the device. I was never able to get it to work with Odin but I was able to connect it to install Perception 10.2 hoping that might fix the issue (10.2 goes back to 897 whereas 9.5 was based off some Samsung 959 ROM). Unfortunately, it did not and I can't connect the device to any of the three PCs I have.
Either nothing happens or the PC says "usb device not recognized". Things I have tried:
Switched usb debugging on and off
Switched from kies to mass storage to media player
Removed and reinstalled drivers on all 3 PCs (2 32-bit Vista, 1 64-bit Win7). The drivers used were the ones in the FAQ thread.
Tried a different micro usb cable
I'm at a loss as to what else to try. I never had this issue before trying to flash Odin with Perception 9.5 on my device. Any suggestions?
Have you tried a different USB port on your computer? I was using one on the front of my computer for months and then lately it wouldn't connect and I went through the things you did and nothing worked. I am now using a USB port from the back of my computer and it is working fine. If you have wifi you could also look into an app called SwiFTP. It will allow you to transfer files between your phone and computer using your wifi instead of USB cable. Good luck, hope you get it figured out.

Yep, I have tried a total of 14 usb ports on 3 PCs, lol. I have Doubletwist and Dropbox so I'm not worried about moving files and whatnot, but I do like testing out other ROMs so I need to be able to connect in order to use Odin. I also want to sell this phone soon and pick up an Inspire so I kind of need to get it back to stock.
Update: I tried installing the Vibrant drivers (since that's what Perception 9.5 was based off of) and I did a hard reset of the phone. PC is still unable to recognize the device. Is there a zip file out there that would allow me to revert back to stock?
There its the jh7 ota that design gears put out a while back, but you are taking a risk flashing anything without knowing you can use odin.
If you are going to try it, make sure you disable lag fix first

Do not know what ADB is, I'll do some homework. Tried a different cable. Can get it into download mode.
@mcord, thank you, I'll google that. I'm not sure what else to try.

[Q] Problem rooting Stock froyo captivate

Hi All,
I just purchased my Captivate yesterday from Costco (Expecting to still get the 2.4 Eclair) but unfortunately I got the Froyo 2.2 on my new captivate.
I tried rooting it using superoneClick and it just gets stuck on "Waiting for Device". I have drivers properly installed on my windows 7 64 bit machine (because I can use the phone and access its internal SD card).
Can anyone have suggestion or faced similar problems?
I have tried disabling/re-enabling usb debgging while it says "Waiting for the device"
Search the forum. There are a few threads floating around on different ways to root the stock froyo build. I don't know why the superoneclick wont work in your case but a search will turn up some info for you.
thanks. I will search the the threads and will post my results here in this thread for someone like me struggling with the same problem.
If you were planning on flashing a custom ROM after rooting anyway, you could use Odin one-click from download mode to flash 2.1 eclair, and then go from there.
Are you sure you are enabling debugging? I just used superoneclick on my phone last night after I flashe dback to stock.
First thing I do is change the phone in settings to - Ask on Connection, then I enable debugging.
Also you could try a different USB port on your computer and also make sure you have all of your necessary drivers installed.
I hope you get it figured out!
PeteSeiler2010: I haven't tried different USB port yet. I will try tonight and see if it goes through.
For usb debugging, I tried that as I mentioned. Let me just conform what I did. When it says "Waiting for device" for several seconds, I disconnected USB cable from either phone or computer (because it says that if you are stuck on "waiting for device", disable and re-enable usb debugging) because without disconnecting the cable, phone didn't let me disable the USB debugging..
So looks like I am missing something here??

want a much easier method? install speedmod kernel using odin, reboot into recovery, advanced features (not the CWM version), and choose the option that says something like "root phone" and choose the "simple" option. congratulations, you are now rooted and running a custom kernel with CWM that can install a custom ROM.
next time, please do not post this in development as this has NOTHING to do with development. Q&A or general next time, please.
How did someone with no posts, post a question in this section? I thought you had to have a minimum of 10 posts to post in here.
I am sorry if I have missed that rule for the new posting but I am new (just two days old) into the android world and for the xda forums as well..

[Q] Phone won't connect to computer

Alright, so before I get flamed, I have searched for over an hour today, and I have not been able to figure this out. I am not new to android, rooting, custom roms, and editing files, so I have tried a multitude of different things.
To the point, my Droid 3 will not connect to my computer. It did a couple weeks ago when I flashed the Liberty Rom onto it, but now it'll just charge and not go into the USB mode. The only reason I know it is charging is when I disconnect the cord it says the disconnected message.
I have tried a couple different cables, and I usually use my stock cable that came with my D3. I have also tried restarting my phone and computer. I even flashed the newest Liberty Rom the hard way and still no luck.
If someone could please help me out I would be VERY grateful as this is a PITA!!!
Thanks in advance!
My two cents would be, try different usb port and make sure you have the most current moto drivers.
Have had luck with uninstalling driver pack and reinstalling.
Hope that helps.

I appreciate the help, unfortunately uninstalling the drivers didn't work, unless I didn't get the correct drivers? I went into uninstall programs. In the device manager nothing came up for my phone or drivers. And I have also tried different ports but to no luck. Thanks again for the reply.
Have you tried a different computer? A different device? Let's just rule out that this isn't a computer issue first...
My Zune works in all of my ports, and my other computer. My Phone however does not. It does the same thing as my other computer, although I guess I don't have the drivers on the other computer, but it would still come up as usb connection right? All this does is charge, sometimes.
Have you tried Linux? No drivers are needed. download a live CD and see if it helps.

Can you explain?
("Very Important"!) PLEASE POST!!!
After sufferring through the same issue and delving deeply for almost two days,I have found the culprit!!! IT IS THE USB CORD AND NOT THE DRIVERS OR ANYTHING ELSE!!"SIMPLY USE THE FIRST USB CORD THAT YOU USED THE VERY FIRST TIME YOU PLUGED INTO YOUR COMPUTOR AND THAT WILL RECTIFY(FIX) YOUR PROBLEM.(IT HAS TO BE THE VERY FIRST USB CORD OTHERWISE YOU WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM UNTIL AND NO OTHER COMPUTOR WILL RECOGNIZE YOUR DEVICE UNTIL YOU DO WHAT I SAY.I thought it was the rooting of my phone that initially caused the issue or maybe an app,however,I found the culprit.The usb cord!!!(WHATEVER USB YOU USED FOR THE VERY FIRST ,STOCK OR NOT,IT IS THE ONLY ONE YOUR COMPUTOR WILL RECOGNIZE!!! I HOPE THIS HELPS THE MANY OF YOU THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND GOOD LUCK

Thanks for clearing that up for me, I haven't competed the fourth grade.
Dude could've just said use the USB cord that came with the phone, to each his own. I have 6 micro usb cables and only the moto official will allow me to do anything other than charge the phone via cpu.

The only problem is that I ONLY use the cord that came with my D3... Any way to flash the stock rom onto my phone from my phone and unroot? Then I can take my phone into verizon and get a new one... and a new cord..

That sucks. You can find the .890 sbf floating around in android development and flash it, I believe it takes everything to stock including unroot.

[Q] HTC One not seen by computer

For some months my HTC One has not been seen by my PC.
I also cannot use my OTG cable.
I have tried reinstalling the HTC drivers,
Connecting to different PCs
searching for a solution
but I can't access the HTC One, use fastboot, etc.
I have a workround for adding or working on files by using wireless connection in MyPhoneExplorer.
I cannot get S-OFF or (I think) replace the Radio, and I suspect the problem may lie there, unless it is a hardware problem, in which case I'll live with it. I did install a 3G only App which caused a few problems, but I can't relate the problem directly to that, as I did not notice at that time.
In case the Radio change would help, can anyone direct me a way to
a) replace radio without S-OFF, OR
b) get S-OFF without fastboot, connection to PC etc.
c) advise another approach
Thanks in advance

What is your hboot version and what OS are you running on your PC?

I assume it still charges, so usb is at least partially working. Interesting that OTG doesn't work any longer, would seem to point to usb on device rather than PC. There are several threads regarding folks cleaning usb connector, have you tried?

I've looked with a magnifier and blown into it, but nothing apparent seen. Tried multiple USB connectors.
It does charge correctly. The USB notification does sometimes stay on even when not charging though, forgot about that.
hboot 1.44 can be done with rum runner. I still use hansoon's toolkit to bad its not here anymore. I would recommend running RUU it should fix your issue's.S-OFF first and theres no need to relock bootloader when s-off to run RUU. Have you tried wiping data in recovery????? S-off cannot be done with a pc nor can radios be flashed. your problem most likely is tied to the system since no pc recognizes it.Also try changing recoveries.

I think Rumrunner and run RUU needs fastboot working.
I've done several wipes and reset to factory..
The USB controller in Device manager shows nothing in Universal Serial Bus Controllers but an old Samsung Android phone shows Samung Android USB composite device. On another computer it shows up on Other Devices.
I assume mine should show HTC device when the USB notification is on but it doesn't, so the phone knows about the USB but a pc doesn't. Weird?
I have tried 3 recoveries recently that didn't get the phone recognised, but as I'm on Viper I'll stick with TWRP for now, as the last recovery didn't want to go away.
Mine only shows as android device until I 2x click it. Then I see my HTC drivers. Hope you get it fixed.

I have tried this several times, on more than one PC. Doesn't seem to be the answer.
I can update on one item. I have been trying to find out what software I installed which might have caused it or made it worse. When I installed Stickmount, a helper for OTG, and then uninstalled it I found that my device again recognises the OTG cable on the notification bar, but the power light on the stick or adapter does not power up, and I can't see files.
This might have pointed to a failed power connection on the USB connector, although charging indicates and works ok?
The power and ground must connect, and also the host signal. Perhaps one of the 2 data connectors is faulty on the micro USB connector, which might explain everything?
Same problem here. Did you solve it ?
I had a sense 7 custom rom than i flashed CM 12.1 and that problem still continues

[Q] Very puzzling USB phone issue-please help

I have the sprint htc one m7, I have been connecting it to my PC widows 7 64bit for the past year without any issues. I have the proper drivers installed on the pc. Now when I plug in via usb I get an immediate error message= on the pc it says DEVICE DRIVER SOFTWARE NOT SUCCESSFULLY INSTALLED, on the phone it says USB HOST CABLE IS PLUGGED IN UNABLE TO CHARGE.
I think the problem is with the phone because I have tried two computers different usb ports and cables and get the same. I also tried my wife’s phone and it works as it should. She has the same phone only difference is mine is rooted (stock4.4.2) and hers is not rooted.
I have tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling and get the same thing.
This is really bugging me because I don’t know what changed on my phone to cause this.
Please Please help if you can. I have searched for the solution without any luck
THANKS
Doug
Quick note=Under the driver software was not successfully installed message on my pc it says MTP USB DEVICE then has a red X with DEVICE UNPLUGGED next to it?
It is however able to see the phone when i put it in Fastboot= Fastbootusb.
What the heck is going on???
another note= after plugging it into the computer and getting the errors, when i plug it in to the wall charger it will not charge. Unless i reboot it then it will charge.
Anybody got an idea?

This is probably the most drastic method to fix it but the most likely way to fix it. Flash a RUU it reverts EVERYTHING to stock and deletes everything you had in the phone.
Since the computer recongizes it in fastboot RUU will work. Make a backup and if you are S-On then you have to relock bootloader first
Thanks for the reply, i thought about RUU and will probably have to attempt it. Im just not sure if its a software or a hardware issue? Everything else on the phone seems to be working fine. It just will not show up on any computer, i have tried 3 different computers and even installed HTC sync software on one and I still get the same error message.
Does this sound like a software issue or a hardware?

PLEASE HElp RUU failed to fix???????
ok as stated in the OP my HTC one wont connect to my pc. The only time is connected was in fastboot, so i did an RUU to attempt to fix the problem. After a successful RUU I still have the same problem= usb debugging is on i plug it in, it says installing drivers. Then I get the red X and the error message says =HTC MTP DEVICE IS UNPLUGGED & HTC MTP DEVICE FAILED.
I know everything else is working because my wife's phone connects no problem- so its not the usb port or cable my setting are the same.
ANYBODY GOT A SOLUTION?
PLEASE HELP- TIA
