USB issues after fresh 2.0b and .03 radio plz help

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!!!

[Q] Computer wont recognize phone

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.

A little more info would help. What is your PC specs? There are some known issues on Win7-64.

ya i have Windows 7 64 bit

Its Win7 64 I had similar trouble
first try right click Mini Kies run as Administrator, then plug in phone when Kies says to, Windows will recognize it if it has the usb drivers if not it will look for them and will install, then try again ..good luck

it worked not what. my phone doesnt show to "Mount".

You are in debugging mode, right?

ya, i am and i dont know what to do.

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.

[Q] Running out of USB ports to get ODIN working!

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.

[Q] Yet another no pc connectivity problem

Hello,
I know that there are countless other threads about this issue all over the Internet, but many of them are from a year ago and none of them have helped me yet.
I've installed every driver recommended from these threads, I've restarted my phone, my computer(s), tried a different cable, USB Debugging on and off, reformatted the internal SD card, and still no luck. Kies doesn't recognize my phone. It doesn't show up in device manager or as an extra drive.
Using TW Launcher. I plug it in, select Mass Storage, hit "Connect USB Storage." It says that USB storage is in use. Yet there is no activity on my PC to indicate as such.
I can't get my Captivate to connect to a computer.
It used to connect just fine up until I upgraded to Froyo.
Is my phone a hopeless case that needs replacing, or am I missing something along the way here? I'd love to root it or at least roll back to 2.1 somehow.
Thanks so much for looking and for any help.

Reboot into download and connect to computer, see if that works.

I had a similar problem and it was definitely a hardware problem. At first it was recognized but then it would only charge via the pc - multiple windows 7 computers would not recognize it. However, a few times it would start installing and then say "disconnected" or something like that. One of those times that I "jiggled" the connector on the phone, it started installing the driver and I didn't touch it and it finished and worked. I disconnected and reconnected and nothing again... I got another refurb and no problems at all.

Well I'll try a few more times. Just glad the Thrill is almost out and I can enjoy that one for 10 months before something better comes along
Thanks for the help

Note 3 won't connect to PC, Kies 3 installed and everything

So I've run into a weird issue that was happening with my Atrix HD the last few days of its life too and now over to the note on my laptop.
I know this is probably a more computer specific problem, as it's recognized on my desktop but I'm running outta ideas here so maybe someone can help?
I've been flashing and rooting and all that jazz since android was released so I know how to work it and my thinkpad was accepting mtp/android connections as recently as september. I unlocked my Atrix HD bootloader and all that but couldn't get the phone to accept the twrp so eventually I just gave up because it was just a stop gap phone.
But now with my new Note 3, I can plug the phone to the laptop and it'll charge but it doesn't bring up the MTP notification (all my androids do this now)
I've checked device manager, it's not even an unknown device in the list..so weird.
Anyone run into this issue before? I know it's not really phone specific but yeah.
thanks in advance

Are you using it on a USB 3.0 port? My home pc only recognizes mine if it's plugged into USB 2.0. Fought this same fight last night myself. Good luck.

Do you guys have BC 1.1 enabled on your machines? If so that's why the 3.0 port doesn't work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk 5

to both of you, my thinkpad (for some awful reason) doesn't have usb 3.0, so no there isn't any USB 3.0 issues.
Literally plug it into my laptop, and nothing. no response from the computer at all not even in device manager, just starts charging as if the phone was plugged into a low voltage socket or something.
baffling.
works absolutely fine on my desktop, but I don't have all my adb and sdk tools set up the way I like them on there.
I have no idea.
ERR edit that it just started working :/ weirdd

Verizon note 3 here - same issue.

Do you guys have any programs that's suppose to charge devices faster with usb? It has to be software related on your laptop

To everyone with this problem, you have to specifically download the Note 3 drivers from Samsung
samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SM-N900VZWEVZW
I was having the same problem, but now both Kies and manual usb file transfer work perfectly on Windows 8

I have same problem here as well ?? its not reconizing my phone in usb 3.0 and i have the newest drives as well for note 3 gn 9005

got it working
Had the same problem after trading in handset,maybe there is some kind of hardware identifier messing things up for usb?
I removed (uninstalled and deleted) drivers for usb, including for hub then reinstall hub drivers followed by reinstall driver option in Kies3 to install samsung drivers. This got everything working.

Your going to mess your phone up some kind of bad playing with those settings if you don't know what your doing. Also please don't recommend doing any of that without a trustworthy source because you can cause another person to mess up their phone as well.
The Note 3 does NOT support BC 1.1. That's what "Fast Charge" or whatever they call it is. Your phone will not use that connection so there is no workaround, just disable the BC 1.1 function.

Yes I stand corrected however I always mess with these settings in order to unlock 90% of the gsm galaxy lineup. This is just a different way of mounting your phone to the computer at least that is what I was told and have been doing for a while. I have tried all the methods on the note 3 and so far no problem. I have been using my phone like this for a while without any hiccups and I had this usb problem since day one on my SAMSUNG laptop so I tried this method which worked. You can easily switch back to the same setting but once again you might be right about the messing up your phone part. FYI MTP just stands for media trasnfer protocal I think so I went with it after a little research.
Just letting everyone know what worked for me no harm done

I tried installing the drivers from samsung with no luck and then tried this and no luck either. GOD DAMNIT! Why is google making it harder and harder to do this ****? Why can't it be as simple as moving files to another other usb drive like it used to be.

IT works!!it actually works..
what i did was,,download kies 3,supported kies for note 3, and go to Tools tab, and see the option "reinstall device driver" dont unplug your note 3,,and voila!!just wait a while, and see how the kies recognize ur note 3..:laugh:

Android3220 method works for me using Note 3, Windows and Kies. Thank ypu.

Do you plug it in USB port 3.0 or in 2.0? Mine, either port are not working

Try using a USB hub,,, 2.0 or 3.0.... this will work......

Go to device manager then to USB find the Samsung driver uninstall. Plug your note 3 in then your system will see your note 3 and reinstall your drivers. Then your good to go.
