Need help from android gurus extremely frusturated

Ok here it goes...
Ive come to the conclusion by having no luck with my previous thread which was asking how to fix " the usb is not recognized" after trying everything known to man and reading every thread that this is kind of a grey area. If your problem isnt obvious ie: debugging off or new usb cord etc... then ur sol ? I say this because the people who know their stuff are extremely detailed and make insanely great write-ups.
FTW can anyone explain or knows how to do this:
Fix the phone so that I can have full usb function ie: when i plug it in the comp wants to install drivers and the phone gives me the option to mount?
If not can someone tell me what choices I have???
To give some info my phone started this after (dont judge why i did this like this lol) installed freshhh 2.0b then the new radio then the new....heroc recov(from reading all day and night im guessing its the recovery)
also the phone will boot in heroc recov and will boot in fastboot but NO ADB sigh. and to take the cake me being frusturated seemed to break the cardinal rule no nandroid backup sigh sigh. basically i just want the usb back in action and fresh 2.0 w/radio. im sorry about the long post but im losin my mind over this. Thanks in advance guys as always every bit counts.
Go into your android dev kit and make sure you have the most current version of the ADB drivers. Are they updated? If so, make sure those are the ones you are using.
I've had similar issues before and I know it's wicked frustrating. Just keep toying with it... sure you'll get it eventually.

this happened to me with my brother's moment. I can't remember if usb debugging had to be on or off but it that is what I messed with to get it to work. Try throttling it on and off... Good luck

yes i have and no it doesnt...
Re-install HTC Sync.. It updates the drivers...
there's some driver incompatibility if you've ever used another device with adb... you have to find the original device, put in dev mode, and overwrite drivers with that of the hero, then plug hero in and try agian.... if that is in fact your problem....
otherwise, htc sync should fix ya

what do you do?
PDAnet for android has some driverS you could try as well...
http://www.junefabrics.com
Yes PDAnet but I also had success with installing HTC Sync for the Eris.
I am using Win7 64bit.

As per crunchybutternut's suggestion in a different thread, I followed the instructions in this link: hxxp://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ (sorry, I can't post links yet)
Basically, I downloaded USBDeview and ran it in administrator mode to delete all HTC and Android related drivers (while phone is plugged in).
I then unplugged and plugged the phone back in and it reinstalled everything fine except for the ADB driver, so I told it to let me manually choose a driver from a list, selected Have Disk and pointed it to C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
After that, I just set the phone to HTC Sync mode when plugging it in and it worked fine.

right now im doing alot of sql for companies who want full dbms. But pretty much know a little bit of it all. this is really fun to play with just a lil rough around the edges. i always liked linux tho!
And back to the problem i like the eris suggestion and I did all the rest. My only thought is this why after heroc attempt***???what does heroc do at the core behind being a boot prog what could it mess up or change if not flashed correctly? Thanks guys for the love
First, make sure your phone is NOT connected and open a command prompt. Then type the following command:
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
You won't get any sort of output, it just goes to the next line. Then type in devmgmt.msc to open the device manager. Got to VIEW and select "Show Hidden Devices".
Now, expand the ADB Interface section, right click on each device individually, and uninstall. When prompted to delete the driver choose YES!
Go to the HTC Website to download and install the newest version of HTCsync.
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=3&dl_id=852
Once installed it would probably be a good idea to reboot your computer before you connect your HTC Hero. Once the Hero is connected make sure you pull down your notification bar and select HTC Sync or it won't connect for ADB access.
Hope this helps!
I've had this problem before but it was usually after I rooted my hero and had messed around. I've bricked two of them with the RUU trying to fix it. Don't really know why the phones bricked still. Usually I just kept plugging the phone on over and over until it recognized it.

Q. About Download/Recovery

Hey Everyone..
Ive always been able to get into both download and recovery mode...but when I was going to apply a ROM to my phone i checked it and now i cant access either of them....
I havent flashed a new firmware or used ROMS or anything yet....it seems like it just stopped working?
Have i done anything to disable it or something????
Should i just do the FIX (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201) to get it back working or is there something else i can do...
I have Froyo 2.2
Baseband-HVJP3
Build-FROYO.HVJP4
Thanks
i would suggest you do the fix, but be patient and read properly, cause one little mistake will brick your phone, and you wont be able to get into download mode to fix it.
i have no idea why your problem has arisen, thats very strange.
perhaps you should invest in a USB JIG as well. a very life saving tool
ahh k then.....
Maybe i should try wiping and reseting my galaxy s ?.. maybe ive installed something that blocks it?
Anyways thanks for your help

[Q] so i need a little help

i have another thread out there sorry for double posting but i have a problem with my captivate and i have tried everything i can being the noob i am, but i need my phone up and running
old post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1251435
a video to show whats up PLEASE HELP ME

First off. Did you run AIO as admin? Second your supposed to run Odin first (as admind mind you) and then connect the phone in download. You didnt show this so i dont know. As to the unbrick heimdall, Ive never used it so I dont know whats wrong there. Also since you used heimdall those drivers conflict for ODIN.
thank you man for the help its all fixed now but appreciate the help
what was it?
I had bad USB ports and it already helps to have USB 3.0 ports for extra power worked better with unbrickable mod

USB mount

Hey guys. I'm running teamheroc rom from 11-30. USB mount is not working. Any help on getting it restored? It charges, but that's it. No notification in pull down. Thanks.
googled it up, but no solution that I saw.
Have you tried reflashing the rom? Maybe you had a bad download. I would re-download and check md5, clear cache, clear delvik, and reflash.
Also, have you tried different computers and cables...leave no stone unturned!
Hey. Thanks for responding. I've tried. Still not working. Have flashed other roms too and the option is not there with those either. Tried a different cable. A different pc. I remember when it was working...my pc for some reason changed the drive letter that was associated with it. Im using a app to connect to wifi now in order to sync. If you have any other suggestions I appreciate it.
Merry Christmas to ya!
I managed to borrow another hero. It's not rooted. It did connect to my computer using my cable though. Is it possible a file that was/is on my hero got corrupted during one of my many flashes? I looked on the borrowed one, but I don't know what I'm searching for. If someone knows the file and location on the hero that allows for the usb mount, I can try to copy from the borrowed one to mine. Thanks.
Its your pc. If it does it on every Rom you flash then it has to be pc. The drivers are probably wrong. Check out this link here and see if this helps you sir

Thank you sir! I'll check out the link and give it a shot...after the game With the other hero mounting correctly to my pc though, you dont think it's a file of some sort on my hero that has gotten borked, huh?
here's a real test of that then. while connected to the pc, boot to recovery. go to mounts and storage, click usb mount. Your pc either will recognize it or not. if it doesnt work try reloading pc drivers like I posted

SGS GT-i9000 fozen on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)

I own a Galaxy S GT-i9000( bought at SFR)
When I connect it to computer I get the prompt that tells to choose between Storage, Kies...
But whatever I choose the computer tells me USB Device not recognised.
Now I was stupid enough to do the following:
I managed to root using Z4root by copying the APK file on external sd .
I got rom manager and updated my recovery.
I updated using the CM10-unofficial rom that is in the development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1775169
The Mobile Network was not working so I did the following
I restored the nand that i did in recovery and now the phone is frozen on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)
Now I can go to Download mode but I can't go to recovery mode.
Let me remind you that my USB data connection is not working. So even though I enter into the Download mode I am not able to use Odin. If you know somthing that I am not doing, let me know.
So now I am looking for a solution that would permit me to flash without USB or allow me to go to recovery mode. Or a tutorial on how to change the usb port myself.
Thanks in advance.

You can try using Mobile Odin.
Also, you can try Heimdall method: https://www.fixmystuff.in/FMS_Forum...-flashing-to-original-rom-using-heimdall.126/
Hey
have you tried to connect it in Download mode??
Need more solutions
Thanks again to all of you that have answered me so fast.
Well I just finished trying all that you suggested.
unfortunately am still at the same point. Whatever I do, whatever drivers am putting in, cleaning inside the USB port with methylated spirit... Not getting Odin or Kies to detect it.
I read somewhere that when the data connection works, I should see the device named Samsung Device even before installing the drivers, but all I am getting is Unknown device. I still went ahead uninstalling and installing the drivers you provided and there is no successful outcome so far.
I still have faith. I have a little knowledge in electronics. I can open my phone and get to the usb port. My problem is I don't get any tutorial on how to replace the usb port. The thing is the connections are very tiny. I can also do with a bypass way that could make me install a 2nd usb port temporarily just long enough to flash the phone.
Or a hardware solution if I have to remove and flash a specific IC in a certain manner.
Thank you in advance.
help
hi there,
after doing alot of stuff to your phone that wasnt nessacary i'm not surprised it doesnt work er sorry . the only thing i can think of is the following whenever i have a problem with windows i go to linux, which is faster , much more efficient . so i suggest that you install linux ( ubuntu the best ) and try using odin with the linux version, it often detects things that windows doesnt see. other than that sorry cant think of anything else .
see ya
Trying it

Am back to my start point.
Thank you though.
Anything Else?
Does anyone have something else to suggest or I should consider my phone dead?
Look like a quite number of people are having this same issue and haven't got over it.
I just hang on and appeal to all of you cos I know XDA is the best place where I can get a solution.
Lemme know any suggestion... even the ones you are not sure can help. Am willing to do anything.
Thanks again all of you.
