I recently switched from fresh 1.1 to fresh 2.0b and also the new radio flipz came out with. I love it and I cant wait for all the bugs to be out. I do have a kinda serious problem tho and need the advice of a droid/linux guru. Why is my usb connection not working anymore. I tried it on 3 cpus and no recognization. Also I used the dev tools and it says everythings fine. Some other things I have done is wiped->flashed etc. no luck and also installed the drivers. nothin. On a side note it does charge! thanks alot any advice would help!!!
When you say your USB doesn't work, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean that your device is no longer recognized?
If that is the case, try this (also, make sure usb debugging is enabled):
I have win 7 64 and here is what worked for me:
1. Uninstall HTC Driver (this will likely give you an error, you can ignore it)
2. Uninstall HTC Sync
3. Download and install PdaNet
4. Follow the directions when installing PdaNet
Yea basically the phone is connected cia usb cable. by using the app" dev tools" i can tell the phone and computer are communicating with each other but no notification by windows or phone and they will not Activsync, htc sync, or mount. Also if you boot to recovery it will add files. really odd but it seems to be a problem with alot of ppl. Preciate it im trying what u said right now I will post with results.

turn on USB debugging
USB debugging is most definitley on. I double triple check it every time. The uninstallation of htc sync and driver and the install of the pdanet did not work everything was fine until 2.1 and the radio. But I did wipe and reflash a second time
bump still strugglin comin guys someone has to have the answer
well the radio should have NOTHING to do with connecting via usb... try nand-ing back to a 1.5 and see if you can connect through adb again.. my $0.02
I have the same problem and I am using damage 1.0...The problem is that it no longer gives me any options when i plug in to my computer. I have been working on this for a few days, it really sucks cuz i don't have any other roms on my memcard so I am kinda screwed if I can't figure this out...maybe i will just wipe and start over. I am 100% sure this is not related to the radio whatsoever. Does anyone know how to change the default for when u plug into a computer...i have tried just going to settings/connect to pc. Ask me is checked, and disk drive is default. I am wondering if there is a default to clear in apps management.

well if you are using disk drive you need to use usb ports build into the mobo. idk why but any usb that is not built in will give you problems. even on my laptop the usb ports that are plugged into the mobo dont work but the ones built in do. try that.

I am not sure what u mean by mobo? but it worked on the same usb's when i first flashed, i typically use the exact same usb for everything...i have 4 ports built into my laptop and none of them work for the phone. i even tried reinstalling drivers and htc sync...idk, i just wiped, and then restored and still no go, i guess i will try a wipe w/o restore.
If you're on a desktop, he means plug the cable into the USB ports on the back of the computer chassis. The USB ports there are soldered directly onto the motherboard, where as USB ports on the computer chassis are connected by a cable to the USB headers on the motherboard. What he's saying is that the cable could've been damaged/fried/came loose, so try the ones in the back.

OiC, that isn't the problem I have tried multiple ports on all of my computers(all laptops) as well as multiple cords...idk FML, just reflashed will see if it works.
ok so i just wiped and reflashed, now i am stuck at the X loading screen and the phone is frozen...FML, is it bricked, i can still get into recovery, i have the old fresh 1.1 ROM on my card, should i just flash that, or should i just use the nandroid backup i made from stock?
ok so flashed back to stock and my computer still won't recognize my phone...any other ideas, it has to be the computer right?

unless your phone won't charge plugged into the wall (meaning it's your phone), then yes.
Did u check with changing the cord ??
I had a similar problem after upgrading radio & fresh 2.0b. I just changed the USB cable and it worked fine. Even now it doesnt yet work with the earlier cable. Something went wrong in that front, but a diff usb cable did the trick for me. try it out
i have changed 5 cords. have messed with every setting known to man after doing so wiped and reflashed. everything i have used every usb port 1.0 and 2.0 and my phone most definitly charges ( my phones never been so charged) i am a comp prog going on my mis degree im pretty good at this and know my stuff Im just wonndering 2 things is it phone or cpu? reason I keep being so indecisive is because comp will recognize a device when it is in heroc but wont verify its a hero( ive tried all drivers) but phone connected fine b4 2.0 i duno im all out of ideas im gonna try to install the new heroc .6 and hope for the best thanks for the input guys!!!
Just a quick question- I have a Captivate that will charge when plugged in via USB but there is no data connection. The phone doesnt recognize that its plugged in to a computer, and therefore despite being able to boot into download and recovery mode, I cannot use ODIN to do anything. Clockwork wont work either due being on 2.2.
Ive read some other threads where most concluded it is more or less a hardware failure. Im coming to that conclusion myself, but wanted to check with you guys first. The audio jack did the same thing for a couple days-- it wouldn't work when plugged in. It did come back on its own, though Im not sure why.
Im running Cognition 2.2beta3, and cannot flash back to a stock rom nor to any other rom due to the lack of being able to use ODIN.
Is there any other way to flash back without ODIN? Also, if this is indeed a hardware failure- how can I go about getting it fixed? I traded for it on craigslist for an iPhone 4 so I didnt get it direct from AT&T. It did work for the first couple months.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Do you have USB debugging enabled (Settings-Applications-Development)?
If so, you won't get the connection choice screen when you plug in your USB. You can either disconnect USB debugging to get the choice screen, or leave USB debugging enabled and click on the "Select to copy files" choice in notifications.
I have tried with USB debugging on and off, and in various USB modes. None work, as the Captivate doesnt even acknowledge theres a data connection that has been made.
It worked in the past in all modes... debugging with the option to mount the drive, mass storage, Kies, and the media mode. No dice at the moment. Tried a hard reset today... nothing.
Looks like it could be a hardware issue-- just weird as the audio jack had the same issue and seemed to (randomly) resolve itself. Thanks for the suggestion! Any other ideas?

I had the exact same issue as you few days ago. One forum member recommended to me to uninstall the Samsung USB driver and reinstalling it again. It worked as soon as I did this. You should give it a try.
I had a similar issue when performing a master clear and flashing JI6. I am on windows 7, and I noticed that a different driver is needed to use Odin in download mode. I had been sideloading apps as well as transferring files with the stock driver from samsung, but my computer still wouldnt recognize the phone when in download mode. The solution was quite simple, when entering download mode my computer gave me the "driver not found" messege. I just let Windows Update find the right one for me (not sure if its generic or not) and everything worked fine after that. Hope this was relevant to your issue.
And I guess you can't do the phone off, open Odin, plug in USB with vol up/down pressed, right?
Not sure if this will help, but I bought a second USB cable to carry in my laptop case. If I use it I can charge the phone but cannot connect it to a PC. If I use the one that came with the phone it works fine.
I have actually tried some other cables and they have issues too. They all have a larger cable housing towards the end that plugs into the phone, where the one that comes with the phone is slimmer.
A friend at work as a Fascinate and he has the same issue, we suspect that the increased size is keeping the usb from connecting all the way in the phone.
Ive tried different computers and different cables, as well as different drivers. Ive used 64bit systems and 32bit systems... XP and Vista.
The phone itself goes into download mode, though I have to go through the terminal and use 'reboot download'. I cant use command line on the computer as it doesnt find the device... the phone never is identified to it. It just charges.
Is there any way to perform the commands that ODIN does without actually using ODIN? If nothing else, Id like to flash back to JF6 and be able to use the OTA updates. At this point, Im stuck till clockwordmod works with 2.2.
I experienced the same thing. My Captivate would charge, but it couldn't connect to any of three computers (WinXP w/drivers, Mac OS X, and Linux) with either of two micro usb cables I had. I would always get a USB error in some form.
I was on cog 2.1, and was able to roll back to the JH7 OTA update without ODIN. Afterward I brought it to an ATT Tech Center and convinced them it was a hardware failure.
I got a warranty replacement, and it didn't work either.
It turned out to be bad micro usb cables. One was the original Samsung cable, but it was loose, there was plenty of play and wiggle in the sockets of both phones.
The best micro usb cable I've found is from a Kindle. It has a a larger plastic base than the stock from Samsung, but critically it has a longer connector. There's a solid click when connected and absolutely no play or wiggle possible. It works every time.
I don't know if you can restore from 2.2 to JH7 without ODIN. Now that we have 2e Recovery on Froyo (in Cog 2.2 BETA6), could you use Clockwork Mod (Rom Manager) to flash designgear's JH7 OTA ROM?
Try some alternate micro USB cables, you might be surprised!
Im having the same issue, was there any resolution to this from the OP??
I suspect hardware also, and Ive got another Micro USB on order from Amazon and will prob buy one from a store tomorrow also.
the stock cable is horrible, I bought a nice charger the other day and it has a nice click and stay, and since I plugged it in to the new charger it no longer shows up on any computer with the stock cable. Im wondering if the new charger with a tad larger connector spread the connectors just a tad too far for the stock cord.
I tried everything as well, I hard rebooted, put into recovery mode and even deleted all my user data to try and see if there was some software that was blinding the computer to the connection... no luck
Ill let you know what I find.
Same issue here. Has anyone had any luck with a new usb cable? Luckily, I can transfer files from my computer via bluetooth for now, but it takes forever!
I am on CDE-AOSPb3.1 on JI6 Froyo.
I am having a USB device not recognised error on my Win7HP x64 machine, and it is not allowing me to connect my SD cards to the computer. This has actually culminated in a BSOD on my computer, presumably because something is wrong with my phone and the USB connection was messed with. The BSOD, however, was isolated, and has not happened again; a full reboot of the phone has not helped this issue.
Any ideas? Or is this a Development question? I have run this ROM since its inception, and have never had a problem until now. It does still charge on USB, however.

You could always try going back to your previous ROM that was able to be recognized by your desktop. If it does recognize it, it might be a ROM problem.
A Nandroid restore didn't work, because the actual root of the problem was a bad micro-USB cable. Borrowed a colleague's and it's all good now. Time to buy another...

Hey guys, I have a small problem with my new Droid 3. I successfully rooted my phone when the exploit was released with no problem. I'm running Windows 7 and installed the correct motorola drivers. When the OTA leak was released I figured I should be safe and unroot before updating. I also restored the /system/app because I (unwisely) deleted a couple apps like blockbuster. So then I flashed the 890 fastboot using RSDLite, and my phone seemed to work fine but when I went to reroot it my phone does not recognize being plugged in. Windows does not recognize the USB device, and the phone does not even prompt for what type of connection I want. The droid just charges through the USB as if it were plugged into the wall. When I run the one click root script it can not find the connection. I reinstalled the drivers, tried reflashing the fastboot, and even reflashed using the zip with no luck. I double checked and my phone has USB debugging enable, and I'm not sure if this helps but I tried unmounting the SD before connecting. Nothing seems to work. RSDLite has no problem finding the device when it is in the AP Fastboot. I also tried running the linux root script in Ubuntu but that did not recognize the phone connection either, so I am pretty much stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciate because I must have this phone rooted! Thanks
My phone is doing the exact same thing... I was rooted, installed the leaked ota and ran the bloat removal script....
Now my phone doesn't recognize being plugged into usb. I've tried on several different PC's, and even another droid 3 that was never rooted, and got the OTA update from VZW.
I can't seem to figure out a way to enable the storage and charge and pc options anymore.
This happened to me and I was stumped for 2 days. The only cable that works is the one that came with my D3.

This is happening to me as we speak.... I am NOT rooted, but I did install the OTA today.

SOLUTION - Use only the Motorola USB cable that came with the phone. After the 5.6.890 update, my Droid3 also was no longer detected when connecting to a computer (it would charge, however). After using the cable that came with the phone, it works perfectly. It's a known issue, and the Bionic is facing the same issue as well. My super long LG cable won't work on it anymore, unless I just want to charge it =/
Exactly what he said ^ When I downloaded the leaked version, this happened to me too. And I was freaked the eff out. And online I couldn't find any spot on solutions. Then I read somewhere that after a while if you're not using the cord that came with it, it can stop working. So I tried my Droid 3 one, and it worked.
What would be the difference in the cables? I use some blackberry cords and old D1 cord as well as the one that came with my D3. One of my BB cords works, and of course the moto cord.
I'd like to either find out what the phone is checking for, and remove it, or maybe alter my cables if it's not too difficult.
The industry agreed to help eliminate e-waste by using microusb as a standard for charging cell phones. I can't imagine that this cut into Motorola's high profit accessories so much as to now forcing us to use proprietary cords and chargers.
There is an industry standard for charging via usb, Motorola really needs to get on board with this. I refuse to buy a phone that doesn't use standard microusb.

The thing is, it was working just fine. I've been using my LG EnV Touch charger with my Droid 1, (my brother uses it for his Droid 2), and was using it for my Droid 3. So, it may just be the OTA update..
Yeah, that was it. I was using a replacement cable given to me from Verizon, but once I switched back to the stock cable it worked perfectly fine. Strange, I never knew there could be a compatibility issue with different types of micro USB cables. So much for "universal" serial bus...
I had that problem too but i just had to switch ports
Awesome. So, I'm using the one I got with my D3 and it's all of a sudden not working now either. I had this problem when I downloaded the update cause I was using the wrong cable.. but now it's doing it again.
Edit - Must have been Jewremy's mod.. reflashed the whole ISC theme over it and it's working again. I'll test out Jewremy's and see if that was the problem.
any solutions found?
I'm having the exact same problem on my droid3 running gingerbread, and my phone was rooted. Before yesterday everything works fine I just installed some terminal simulator and some irrelevant apps. Now it's not being recognized by computer so I cannot do anything trhough adb. Has anyone found solution or root caused this? Please post it here ...
This was almost definitely stated earlier, but please make sure you are using a Motorola cable. Regular USB mini cords will NOT work.

Hello everyone. So I have a little problem over here, not even sure if it's a little one. So like 2 months back I decided to dissasemble my htc in order to change the camera as the previous one had purple tint and change my housing from white to red. I have done everything right now, I've been waiting for all those parts for these two months, replaced my camera, housing, UI board as I destroyed the camera socket of the old one and everything works pretty much, still got an issue with buzzing speaker even though it's a new one, but I'll find a way out. What bothering me now is that I cannot get my HTC recognized by PC. I'm not sure how I fixed my USB problems earlier, I had a lot of them until I found some drivers or something. So now I experience this problem that when I connect my HTC to the front socket it clearly doesn't make any signs of being recognized, but it still charges. When I connect it to one of the back sockets, PC makes a 'ding' sound that a USB device is connected. Although I cannot see any devices on my PC. I tried fastboot, PC can't find the device either, tired ADB in recovery, but it's loading forever, not sure if it should be that way. So after this long journey, USB is the only problem I'm facing. Could it be drivers or something else? As the phone charges whenever I connect it to a power source, it charges. One thing I noticed that no matter where I connect it, USB or wall socket it always says 'IF HTC Sync Manager installer doesn't automatically start, run it from CD-ROM drive on your PC' along with slow charge warning. Please help me.
Windows 8, or 7? Did the USB connection work perfectly before the disassembly?

It's W7. I can't remember but I remember I had problems getting those drivers and all to work.
Probably not the issue in your case, but two of my friends had USB connectivity errors on W7 64bit SP1 - both HTC Ones.
The issues were malwares (iLivid & others) - after running malwarebytes and removing all the stuff (more than 1000 objects/scan) USB connectivity started working again.
Might worth a shot. Oh, and both had Antivirus (Nod32) running
Thanks, I'll try this. I got iLivid and some other bull**** auto installed on my pc.
oh my god, removed ilivid and other bull**** malwares and not it's working again, never thought of this, thanks!
