the droid has the possibility to use the usb host feature with a modified usb cable (witch doesn't work on the milestone), and the nexus one can use it with a modified kernel....
Anybody knows if there is a way to get the usb host working on a milestone? e.g. some kernel module or something else?
Connect the USB-Host "dongle" to your Milestone prior to see the Motorola bootscreen, then disconnect it and use a USB OTG cable to connect every device you want to your Milestone.
It works.

not working for me
i'm doing something wrong cuz my milestone don't want to recognize anything... i made a cable with a litle switcher, not "dongle". running on froyo, but also tried 2.1... i don't understand...
So heres the thing.
I flashed some firmware on my phone (did it 100 times no problem) but i got fail in odin.
I said ok nothing is wrong i can fix it. but to my suprise Odin wont recognise my phone. I get a message that the Usb is unknown.
Now beacuse i reinstalled my drivers i think that the computer needs a first time plug of another galaxy s to install the driver from the phone is that correct? (Cause my phone can only go to download mode)
so all i need to do is to get another galaxy s plug it in and let the computer recognise it for the first time. and than use my broken phone phone and it will work?
what firmware was it ,if it was ics sometimes you lose usb connections and odin wont recoqnise the phone

I used this one
Problem solved here. I hope this solution helps you
I've tried so much, seriously SO MUCH. At the end it turns out it was my usb cable. i ripped my old usb cable apart for making me go ape ****.
lesson? No matter how many times you install, change ports, etc. Always be sure to try a new usb cabel. If you don't have a second one, i'd suggest you go buy a second one, it's worth a try. The whole time it wasn't working it was my stupid usb cable, changed it and in an instance i was ready to roll.
Wish you good luck!
Hi,
I currently encounter a problem with my Optimus 2X.
I can use my usb port to load the phone but when I plug it in a computer (I tried with several computers running XP / seven / ubuntu ... and several cables). But my phone doesn't seems to be recognized by the computers.
I'm running 2.6.32.45 cyanogenmod. I wanted to go back to the original rom but my backup seems corrupted
Does anywone knows how I can go back to the original rom ? (hopping it will fix my usb issue ....)
regards.
Uninstall the old drivers, and download v3.6 from lg's site it has fixed this issue. =P
Sent from my LG-P990
Even if the coputer act like there is nothing plugged ? On several computer I used the phone wasen't recognized as a plugged peripheral (even a usb key).
I had the same problem, v3.5 of lg united driver was cqusing it , when I updated it got fixed just uninstall reboot and install 3.6 worked for a few more peps

Thank's a lot it works perfectly !
I now encounter a new problem, when I try to update my phone using the LG software, it stops at about 30% (looks like it's impossible to connect the phone with the software).
Edit -> I've found an old stock rom and installed it on my phone : everything works perfectly thanks a lot !!!
Guys
I'm running CM Nightlies and I can no longer connect my phone to any pc via USB.
Some have said I would have to flash phone back to an original rom in order to fix then flash CM back over it?
Is this really only way as worried will lose all my internal drive stuff.
You can try to change your drivers it works very well !
If you wan to save your stuff without using USB you can use FTP thrue à WIFI to send stuff on your PC.
I got the same problem since about 4 months. When connecting the phone to the computer, no usb icon appears on the notification bar, also there is nothing happening in the device manager on the computer. Charging always works.
This is still confirmed after using different computers, different usb cables, different usb ports, and 4 different versions of the drivers (up to the most recent 3.6 drivers) even it should still show something even with no drivers. This also occurs in "software update" mode.
Also I tried different ways of plugging in the cable on the phone side (slow, fast, with pressure up/down/side).
This is with CM7, CM9alpha, and just for test also with MIUI.
The odd thing is, in this time span, it randomly worked about 4 times in these 4 months. Last time was just after I updated to CM9 alpha it worked the first time I plugged it in (was surprised with that), but it stopped working too.
For me it seems it's something with the usb chip set in the phone.
The problem here is, returning the phone for RMA will cause problems with CM on the phone, as they probably will say it's because of a custom rom, and there is no (easy) way to get stock rom with branding back on the phone (the only one maybe with a nandroid backup of stock from someone else?).
I'm having the same trouble as dedors. Absolutely no USB data connection. Can't get anything going in nvflash, smart flash, recovery, or when running normally. I've tried uninstall and reinstall the drivers, multiple cables, multiple computers, multiple OS including win7 xp and Ubuntu. USB debugging enabled, disabled, wiping the SD cards, trying with no external sd card. The only glimmer I've seen of it working was when I plugged it into my old XP laptop before and it prompted the computer to install a driver for the webcam that I'd mistakenly uninstalled. I tried cleaning out the USB port in case it had a bunch of lint stuck in it and the cable just wasn't sitting properly.
I don't know at what point it stopped working but it has had no serious abuse that could cause any physical damage.
Oddly it still charges just fine.
Can't return for RMA as it's running Cyanogen 9 and I've no easy way to get it back to stock. I also had this problem on Cyanogen 7. I could probably flash a stock rom onto the phone but I wouldn't be able to nvflash the original recovery.
A lot of people seem to have had USB trouble with this phone.
Happy to provide any logs that may help the diagnosis though you may have to explain how I can acquire them as I only know basic flashing.
Sorry for the lengthy first post, trying to be thorough.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
I can't think of any solution to your problem (in my opinion it seems like a faulty USB port, it seems to be "popular"), but I can suggest you a workaround... it's actually the workaround I've been using cuz I also have trouble with USB... get an SD card and a USB to SD card adapter...
Or that ftp/wireless trick that was mentioned above, I actually don't know how to do this but I would definitely like to
Yeah that does seem to be the case. At least I can still flash roms and so on. So long as it lasts me the rest of the year I don't mind grabbing a new one then.
Anyone who knows about logs for trouble shooting, can you suggest a way that I might try to diagnose the problem. If I can be sure the port is stuffed and nothing I can do will fix it I'm ok with that but I'd like to know whether I should keep looking for solutions or give up on it.
Cheers.
Hello,
I've got a new issue with my phone updating CM10 and today it's impossible to boot.
I've tried to plug it on my computer in order to flash it but got the same probleme as the first post : nothing happened when plugged on my computers.
Does anyone got this 3.6 drivers somewhere ? seems that the new ones from LG didn't works ....
I have the same problem
I how bought my phone (LG P990), 6 months old, used. I come home and try to connect it to the computer and it won't be recognized. Somehow I manage over that code 1809 # * 990 # to enter the menu and play with the ports I was able to connect to the computer and do the official update to 2.3.4. over LG software.Once again, this comp will not recognize phone (only charging), but using code 1809 # * 990 # and tampering on port settings it was able to connect to the computer.
Now after some time do stupidity and Root my mobile phone(SuperOneClick) and install clockwork-5.0.0.3 and via zip CyanogenMod 9. I tried all the ways that exist but pc does not recognize the phone anymore. After some time, the official ICS update is coming, and now that you can not connect the comp how to update mobile phone. I do a recovery back to the official Android 2.3.4 (I had to change the partitions, 2.3.4 and ICS use different sized partitions) and I run a mobile phone that is again official 2.3.4 and try entering the menu (1809 # * 990 #) by tampering with ports settings I tried to make comp to recognize the phone but to no avail. I tried to change the usb cable, use a different USB port on comp but nothing, no response just recharging.
After googling I managed to find recovery from ICS V28g and I managed to install it to have a functional phone. I contacted 2 service both refused to accept phone because rooted. I tried all the tricks without battery holding vol + and - to enter into APX mode, nothing then Power and vol - S / W mode that worked but comp ga would not recognize until now even that does not work (appears LG logo and when S / W should appear then goes off) and all the other tricks that I found on the internet, reinstall the drivers, I do not know what else.
Oh yeah and I noticed entering the settings on mobu System Settings / About Phone / Software Information / Baseband version - unknown

Hi,
I've found an old 3.6 driver, but nothing works even with it ... I think I must change my phone -_-
The HDMI and USB connection to PC?
My USB went down ages ago and stopped connecting to pc and my HDMI stopped working earlier in the year.
Anyone know how to fix? and is any of the failure as a result of custom roms?
İ have the same problem with my USB. Any help will be over appreciated.
I've never experienced a problem like yours, but a friend of mine who has got O2X too had the same problem with CyanogenMod 7.2 stable. After many attempts we succeded in connecting the phone to pc with the debug usb mod on. So you can try
Hmm..Did you try puting sd card reader and putting rom on it?And flash..or new usb?

Try to download the LG driver for that phone, will probably fix it.

In some instances the Phone >> ! >> PC screen will function the same as being in download mode.
For other connection issues, check this thread Captivate - PC Connection Issues, Download Mode and Recovery Mode Help. Give consideration to the parts about trying different cables and PCs, also read the section regarding the fickleness of getting drivers to work.
It could also be your hardware. Considering that you said you had to tilt the phone to get it to come on, it might be that there is a bad connection / broken solder between the usb port and the motherboard of the phone.
