This is kind of a mixed forum question....
but I managed to get my NC up and rooted (awesome job btw, totally rocks ), and now my HTC G2 isnt being registered by my PC when i plug it in for charging. They use the same cable so I usually just swap them out.
Any ideas? Its still charging, and I tried different usb ports and uninstalling the device profiles in DevManager... but still no dice.
Any help will be appreciated~
The nooncolor has a slightly different cable... try using the original cable from the G2

Im using a regular B/W nook cable, which doesnt have the different prong type in it, its just a regular Micro SD cable like the G2 and other phones use... but still no luck. My computer keeps treating it like an Unknown Device and i think its trying to use the adb-usb driver that i had to use for the NC
So ive gotten a little further and realized that Windows is assigned the wrong driver to the phone. Is there anyway to figure out what the old driver was or where the base one is for Windows? It keeps defaulting to the adb-usb driver and thats whats causing the issue~
Shouldn't you have the option to rollback the driver to a previous one in windows?

The B&N Nook Color cable is not normal.
Just download pdanet for android to your computer. It will find and install the appropriate drivers.
Okay... so I tried all of that. I mean, Im not a novice, but Im not an uber-pro either. From what I can tell, when I use the micro SD (non-adapted) usb cable and plug it into a HUB, the computer kinda sees my phone, but doesnt actually know how to properly load it and says "Cannot install correct driver"
But when I plug the usb directly into a slot on th MoBo or front port, it just doesnt see it at all and gives it power to charge.
SearEuslee, WTF!? (heh, sorry couldnt resist trying that)
Anyways, any help is most appreciated :C I really want to root my phone, but cant when the computer doesnt see it anymore....

It seems that when I try to connect my n1 to my CPU, my CPU can not recognize my n1 SD card while its in USB mode.
I am currently running window 7 32b. I thought it was my windows that was faulty so reformat my CPU with fresh copy of windows. However that was not the case. So I tried my other computer running windows XP and it picks up the SD card instantly. So I tried a new SD card in my N1 tried it again. Didn't work. I am confused. Everytime I need to transfer files from my CPU to my n1 I have to pull out the SD card. Its strange. All the drives were installed correctly but it will not detect. Other CPU will detect. Is anyone having this issue with windows 7 on your computer. I wan to fix this. Its really getting annoying. Please if you guys have any ideas let me know. I even called HTC and they figured out its my CPU not the phone. And I agree. It works on other windows but not my windows 7.

Make sure usb debugging is checked marked before trying to mount....See if that works

USB debugging works fine. I am able to use adb commands. Funny thing is phone thinks its in USB mode. There's got to be some driver issue or something. Drivin me crazy.

If all else fails...get one of those WiFi file transfer apps. Way, Way, Way faster than transfering through the USB cord on the N1 (tops out at 2mbps).

Try another PC. My Home PC that I built used to recognize it... then stopped... then wouldn't for weeks... and just the other day I noticed it found it (after a minute).
Today on my netbook (EeePC 1000HE) it gave me fits a few times before coming up.
Nothing really changed on my Home PC really and USB sticks would read just fine, but not my N1. I know I reset the thing many times without success so finding it working was surprising.
One thing I use are my existing mini-usb cables and I picked up these little mini-micro usb converters. Perhaps those are flaky?

Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers, changed ports, changing computers, USB debugging. everything, whats wrong?
I had similar problems, and did a system restore on my Windows 7 64 computer. Some updates didn't allow the phone to mount.
I'm not saying this is your case, but it's worth a shot.

Now work shows the icon on my phone but it freezes when i click on it and i have to battery pull to get it back to normal.
Are you on a custom rom or stock? If custom, which rom?
i am on firefly 2.5
Hmm... Well its not the rom. Firefly 2.5 works fine for that. Any chance you've tried a different usb cable? Didn't see that in the op. Could be a bad pin/wire in the usb cable itself or on the connectors.
Also, no dirt/debris in the usb connection on the phone itself right?
Just to be clear the phone will charge when the usb is connected as well correct?
ya ive tried different cables, computers, roms everything i went into recovery with the usb plugged in and clicked mount usb and it works then but i dont want to do that every time.
still doesn't work after a few days

I had a cable issue when I first got my Captivate, and it was incredibly aggravating diagnosing the problem. The trouble was that with my USB cable the phone would charge just fine, but the computer would not recognize it. I assumed it was the phone or drivers--since the cable seemed good. At that point I didn't realize how precise the voltage has to be and stuff for the computer to recognize the phone. I tried my wife's cable, and everything worked fine, so I brought my cable back and AT&T gave me a new one. Not that this story helps you at all since you already tried a different cable...

ya thats exactly whats happening but i have two different cables and they both dont work
Is it all possible to swap cords with an AT&T store? I'm sure it's unlikely that both cords are fruity...but it'd be worth a try if possible.

Hey guys today my second USB port stopped working for ODIN.
The front two on my PC don't work for it and I got 4 left on the back, is there any way to solve this issue?
uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers then rebooting has always fixed it for me. if that isn't working i've got no clue. sorry i couldn't be more helpful i guess.
Yea I know but same problem.
I'm anxiously saving money for a GS2 and Netbook.

also have the same problem with my old pc, two front usb don't work with odin, but work with anything else.
I've had this same problem, and I haven't been able to fix it. But now I've switched to Ubuntu and Heimdall.
I don't know if this will work for you, but this USBDeview looks like it might do the trick: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
I assume you are using Windows, and if you are, there is one trick that I have used in the past to fix other devices. This *might* work for you. Try removing the non present devices from device manager. In order to do this, you need to Google how to view Nonpresent devices in device manager. This trick will show you every device that has every been plugged into each USB port. You can then go in and remove the drivers that were previously installed for your phone on that port. Whenever you remove the nonpresent device, next time it is plugged in, the computer will think that it has never been plugged into that USB port before.
Hope that helps!
Im serious about the new cable. I had a problem with the default usb cable before until a friend gave me his mt4g usb and never had a problem again. I think its a data miscommunication with the t959 stock usb. I lost any ODIN connection on all ports until I switched. Try it. Youll see.

That's actually what USBDeview does.
I got the updated version of captivate from att center with froyo with gps fixed. Now two new issues: I rooted the older one and used titanium to back my datas.
Now with new one, I tried to restore two roadblock.
- Windows driver no longer works with this new version. I even removed the drivers from registry still no avail. (SGH-i897_Captivate_USB_Drivers_5_02_0_2.zip)
Once re-install then I choose USB storage version and driver installs but systems can not recognize the device and appears as unknown device in the device manager.
- One click root application can no longer recognizes this new version. This is the app I used to root and unroot the older captivate. GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Models
However, I believe this might be due to the first problem, the driver is not being recognized.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,

Well well... so I guess I'm not the only one with this "unrecognized USB drive" issue. I too exchanged my old one because of audio jack issue from at&t service center on September 3rd. The GPS is amazing but I cannot mount it as SD card. Tried everything regarding installing drivers. I tried all the USB port available on my system, still no go. Uninstall and removing every single trace of registry. Still no go for mounting as drive. The Max I can do is mount as MTP. But as soon as mount as storage, it pops up saying 'unrecognized USB drive'. I have literally invested more than 24 hrs without any fix. Only good thing about this is that the GPS is a killer. I drove from Indianapolis to Louisville and it didn't deviate even for a second from the route even when I sometime reached a speed of 90mph. If anyone know how to resolve the issue of mounting the phone as storage device without getting the USB error, your work will be highly appreciated.

Try a different USB cable. The one that comes with the Captivate stinks. I had no problem mounting my Captivate on my old computer (which is a Mac), but when I got a new iMac, my phone refused to mount. After several hours of screwing around, I tried the USB cable that came with my wife's Motorola Bravo. Damn thing mounted right up.
If I use the stock Samsung cable, nothing. If I use the Motorola cable, flawless.
Give it a try.
+1
That will work for your situation

It has to be something with voltage. My Samsung USB cable (the one that came with the phone) worked just fine with my old computer. When I upgraded my computer, the cable no longer worked.
I did notice that if I plugged it into a USB hub instead of directly into the Mac, then the phone mounted...but the connection was slow and it dropped all the time, so it was basically unusable.
@guyenxda000...try a different cable before you decide it's not going to work. It actually might.
Okay, I had alternative cable in my car and brough home now i can connect. Now, phone is recognized if I choose kite usb mode, and can access sdcard if i choose usb. but still it is not responding to one-root-click application i mentioned earlier. is it not supposed to work with the newer captivates? if not, anyone knows an app to root it?

First, make sure you're not mounting the phone before trying to root it. Make sure USB debugging is turned on, then plug in the phone and just leave it like that. The root process won't run if you have the SD card mounted. Also, make sure you have the latest drivers. Then run your one-click root.
I used SuperOneClick on mine and it worked the first time. My build is an 1101, so newer phones might not be supported. I have no idea if it makes a difference or not.
Dude thx for ur effort for help. But all ur instructions seem to imply i am doing first time. If u read thru this post i already done successfully with my older version phone which means i must have followed all the steps u described. if u really meant to hlp can u clarify build 1101 u kentioned? If u do that it cn help me someway. Thx
okay lot of progress yesterday, but hit a roadblock.
changed new cable, i had to put the phone into debuggin mode, which I forgot. Now I tried one-click-root app, it does put the phone into recovery mode, but still fails to root saying e-signature verificaiton failed or something.
went through a hard manual way:
copied the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin into sdcard.
supposedly that should open the terminal emulator in super user mode so that i can mount the /dev/block/st19 into /system as a RW mode, which enables me to copy the other files such as superuser.apk into /system/app folder.
Howeer rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin does not seem to do the job. instruction says after 'spawn child' message restart the terminal emulator which should have turned into # command prompt rather than $. I believe # means enabled to do a root privileged stuff like remounting /system folder. Anyone has hit this roadblock? Thanks,
Id love to post this in the development forum but not enuf posts so... I flashed steeldroid the other day and I love it, especialy with the GB launcher I added.

I've got a similar issue on SD3 v3. I get the connect choices (PC, mass media, media sync, charge only) but i can't get mass media mode to connect on my windows 7 x64 machine. I get the bonk when the computer detects its connected, but don't see anything in device manager. Found a work around at least for the moment, put it in PC mode, and used the moto software, I can get into my internal card.
right, see i dont even get the connect options when i plug in. i am thinking it is something in the rom because it worked fine with the first cable i tried just before i flashed it. i know i could just restore to the nandroid backup of stock and do what i need to do but i dont wanna do that if i dont have to id rather make it work. is there a specific service or apk that controls the usb connect options that i can check?
Are you guys using the cord that came with the phone?
