USB not working right

Earlier today I was at my brother in laws house, was gonna copy some music from my phone to his computer (always have a usb cable in my car ). For some reason windows (vista) kept giving me unknown device and the option of mounting the sdcard never appeared.
I thought that was odd, never had the problem before, was short on time and didnt mess with it besides tryin to unplug and plug it back in. Well I get home and I see there is a new cyanogen build (a couple actually, mine is about 2 weeks old).
I plug in my phone with the normal usb cable I use and nothing. The phone charges (as it did on my brother in laws computer) but I the option to mount it doesnt come up on my phone. I dont see it in device manager and adb also cant find the device. USB debugging is turned on as well.
My only worry is that it is not a software problem because I got pretty drunk the other night and fell on my phone. The touchscreen is cracked a little but its just cosmetic damage, the phone has functioned 100% after that until now. Is there anything I can try here short of wiping and flashing my ROM again?
Tried searching but "sdcard mount issue" and other similar searches come up with pages and pages of unrelated stuff

Vista never sat well with my phone, ADB was a pain to get working and then, of course, I lose my data cable
But as far as that goes, I'm not even sure Vista works with the Android SDK, because I never got it to work. I was able to succesfully mount and unmount like it was a stock phone.
Your best bet is to, indeed, wipe and reflash. Use Cyan's recovery to make a backup and you can restore that after you sort things out with the sync'ing problems.

Well I have had the SDK working just fine, well adb and fastboot is all I have used on both my desktop and laptop.
Guess I will have to dig around for my adapter and give try giving it a wipe.

Well I just wiped and flashed the lastest cyanogen, before doing that I booted into recovery, hit the back button and it went into fastboot mode. I tried giving it the command to reboot, fastboot reboot, cmd prompt showed as it should be successful but it would never reboot.
I didnt think that was a good sign but I went ahead and wiped and flashed, same problem still persists. The sdcard worked fine in the adapter and both my ext3 and fat32 partition are working fine through the phone.
Anyone have any ideas? Would be nice if I didnt crack my screen, although its just cosmetic damage (phone functioned 100% for weeks now), I am pretty sure that will void my warranty if the phone were still under warranty.
This problem isn't huge, would like to be able to use adb again and not have to turn my phone off and use the adapter if I want to flash a new ROM.

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers in Windows?

It isn't showing up in device manager (only way I know to uninstall the drivers).
I think it has to be a hardware issue though, tried multiple computers, couple of different usb cables, wiped and flashed a different rom. Guess it's time to call up asurion

Yeah that didnt work either. Thanks for the help though guys, just sucks this is gonna have to cost me money through insurance for a stupid crack in the screen.

[Q] USB No longer Working.......?

My Samsung Captivate was working fine a day ago when I was transferring video off of it to my PC. Now this comes up and I'm like WTH lol. I've never dropped my captivate or damaged it( to my knowledge).
I have read in other posts that the only way to fix this is to replace the mini usb port inside of the phone... If that is true could someone direct me to a site that sells it?
Or is It a battery issue? because It now has a problem with showing the charging battery symbol when its not charging now...
I also thought about going to At&T and letting them tell me what they think, only thing i'm afraid of is that without me being able to flash back to Official 2.1 Eclair they wont help me...
Any suggestions guys?

Bump T_T............

lol, make it totally bricked, att will not see if the phone cannot turn on.

Have you tried switching computers? My laptop stopped reading my phone, but my desktop picked it up just fine.

Try factory reseting and flashing to a new rom

Well I would Flash it to stock, but how would I do that without the use of USB, because no computer can detect my phone as it is now.... the USB Port is damaged I believe.
As for Bricking it how can I do that because they told me I could replace it because I'm under warrenty, but they also told me that if its found out of warrenty that they may charge me upwards to 480 bucks for the replacement. The guy on the phone told me it only applied to cosmetic and liquid damage though, he didnt mention stuff like flashing the OS or modding.
This is strictly a Hardware Issue as it was working 2 days ago.

lol, you can easily brick your phone by doing the following:
1. download a rom;
2. go to recovery mode;
3. start flashing the rom and remove the battery during the process;
never help people like this ... i feel guilty ...

lol ikr? Never thought I'd ever ask that xD.

Can you plug your phone in to the wall charger and it charge. When you plug.it into.the PC are you getting a message about USB device not recognized. Are you using a.deshktop or a laptop what OS. If you are using a desktop are you using a port on the back preferrably the one closest to the motherboard. These are all things to take into account.
If when you plug it into the wall.or computer your phone will charge then most likely there is nothing wrong with your micro-usb on the phone. Instead its the computer. I had the same issue and had to fight with it for days but now it works everytime I plug [email protected]

I am using windows on my laptop and Fedora linux on my netbook and I have tried to connect all of them to it and it failed and they all had the latest drivers and my usb development and all that stuff is as it should be.
like i said in the OP it was working 2 days ago perfectly and I did nothing to change it or damaged it in any way ( to my knowledge) maybe the usb port got messed up when i tried to charge it but I can still get a charge but the battery keeps showing its charging even when it is off of the charger.

only way to really know is by flashing another rom... use your mobile browser not xda app, and go to xda, find a rom thread, and use the mobile browser to download the rom over 3g... reboot into recovery to install it, it will be in the download directory on your internal SD...

Well I would do that but Now I have another problem... it turned off and now it wont turn back on!!!! UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!

anything from the charger? might bee good that it finally died... the att service center should swap it out for you now that its dead...

Well I thought I should Follow up on my Question... Somehow I got my Samsung Captivate to magically connect to my PC and believe me it was very Wonky. And Soon as my PC detected it I hurried and Downloaded Odin for Stock 2.1 and Put my Captivate in download mode using Cognition's Download mode option in the hold button popup on screen.
Long story short I was finally able to get my captivate back to 2.1 and the reported problem still exists... I'm calling ATT right now for my replacement that should be here in 2 days ^_^
Thanks Again to all the people here at xda for your help, I deeply appreciate it!

place dg cf7 on sd card via another phone or use an alternate browser to download it also get clockwork mod rec.zip and boot into recovery install from there, thats how I got back to stock after same problem as you,warranty phone.
worked for me

[Q] Problem with computer recognizing phone?

After much searching and work on fixing my bricked captivate, i broke down and bought a jig from mobiletechvideos.com. It works perfectly as intended, except for the fact that my pc is not recognizing the phone after it enters download mode. As a side note, i may have royally screwed up when i did something in clockwork recovery, where now i cant even get past the ATT World phone boot screen. Im afraid i may have deleted anything that can mount the phone to the pc. I have already installed the proper drivers, I think. Anything i can do to fix this?

So it shows the world phone screen a bunch of times? Plug it into an outlet see if the green battery comes up, just wait for it, the Gray battery will do a short of loop a few times... Once its at the green battery try to turn the phone on, be patient too, if you get the phone on, go to settings> privacy then factory data reset, make sure you backup to external or computer first
Your welcome
Now you say/press thanks
Teaching manners one person at a time

Thats not gonna work... nothing i know of can be done to it. it doesn't move past the att screen. No animation, not sound. Just ATT World Phone. i can get into download mode, but cant connect to computer. Thats the problem right there.

Try restarting your computer? I've had similar issues on a yucky iPhone, and I've read about other Captivate users with it as well, and a restart helped resolve the problem.

Go under your drivers and uninstall them and reinstall them it helped when I finally had got mine "back to his construction job" (lol download mode) it should then work
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Ive already tried another PC and Uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers to no avail.
It just like the phone isn't even there. It will charge, but wont mount to the PC.

Not trying to insult your intelligence or anything (I might actually be insulting my own) but you have Odin open, right?
Just trying to think of anything lol

Yeah, but it wouldnt matter anyway if the computer doesnt know its there.

Try cleaning the mini usb port. Or switch the usb cord connector the samsung factory one tends to break the data + and -.
As for not getting past the at&t screen. The kernel you installed cannot read the system partition probably corrupted or the kernel you installed cannot read ext4.
If you cannot get it to be recognized send it back to your carrier for repair, should be under warranty.

Thats what im doing now. Thanks for the help, though.

You sure you have the proper drivers installed for your phone? The links for them are on the odin forum in captivate development

HTC One USB Port Problem

The phone USB port is having problems. It will charge ok wont connect to any laptop in any mode, system, fastboot or recovery. It would be powered by it for a small fraction good enough for it to be detected and then it would stop sending signals. Anybody know any fix for the problem.
Also has anyone sent their rooted phone for repair recently n got it repaired under warranty. Its revone S=off and running trickdroid.
And the error in device manager is USB BOS descriptor failed, "waiting for device", "Device cannot start. (Code 10)"

its probably the voltages messing it up. On connecting the USB it turns on car mode. I was able to briefly get the UMS to work by draining down the battery n connecting to laptop n turning it on. It worked for 2-3 boots and thats it. Its gone again...

i'm having almost the exact same issues you are. it won't charge unless it's turned off, and it won't connect to my computer at all. sometimes if it's plugged in it'll put itself in car mode. did you manage to get yours fixed?

Same problem here! I made a thread about it but no one answered..
I'm glad it charges though, yesterday when I went to bed it wouldn't charge, but this morning it did. Goes into car mode though and it won't connect to the PC. I think I'm going to bring it back for a repair/replace under warranty.

i fixed it, tried different cables and chargers and finally the charger from my old old moto cliq fixed it, i think it was short at some point of voltage troubles. Fixed since some days now. No more trouble. Also discharge ur battery a few times ( turn of fast boot from settings) and charge all the way to 100 for like 3 days. Also try booting in fastboot mode and connecting to computer see if fastboot usb is connected. took a few days to get it work using different methods. Dont exactly know which one worked

i went in to my t-mobile store to get the warranty replacement process started this morning, but of course the rep saw that i had clockwork installed on it and said he couldn't start the exchange until i got it back to stock. problem is, since it doesn't talk to my computer i can't access adb to reset my tampered/unlock flags and flash the stock recovery. i'm probably gonna have to throw down $175 to asurion to get it replaced for "water damage" or something, unless you guys have any other suggestions i might have overlooked. when i get home i'll try a bunch of different microusb cables to see if i can get any to work, like charnsingh_online mentioned.

just wanted to toss in a quick update in case anybody else is having this problem... a few hours ago someone posted about this same issue on the HTC One subreddit, and i came across a post on the vodafone forums from today describing it as well. i'm getting a little concerned that there might be a bad batch of these phones floating around that are all beginning to fail.

Quick update from me aswell
Yesterday evening it charged like normal, I could even pull the plug out and put it back in without the phone going in car mode, it would still charge.
Now this morning I wanted to try to see if it connects to my PC but that still didn't work. I put it in the charger just to see if it still would charge as easy as the evening before but it went to car mode and I was back at the beginning. Turning the device off and back on didn't resolve it.
Now it does charge again by turning off fast boot (or however it's called, I'm translating from dutch). That made it work again (but for how long?!)
EDIT
My phone finally connected to the PC. The phone still went into car mode but it didn't disconnect after that (like it used to do). I can put my music on my phone now but the phone is alternating between car mode and normal mode.. pretty odd.

I have the same problem. when I turn on the htc one, rainbow screen appears, and does not detect when I connect to PC, I will test the battery discharge, hopefully get lucky,

I'm having the same issue as well. The phone randomly now is throwing itself into portrait mode even when I don't have it plugged in, charging is very intermittent. I'm thinking there's a short somewhere on the circut board but that's only a guess. Do we think this is a hardware issue? At least I'm still on stock if I have to get the phone replaced, but what a PITA with not having an SD card to remove. I'm liking that less and less... grr.

may be a defect, i had a few cells and never appeared a similar problem, I had a galaxy s2, s3, s4, HTC Evo .
I detected car accessory mode, and the strange thing is in Fastboot Mode I can install an official RUU from my PC .

I'm thinking of a theory, it could be that the MISC partition mmcblk0p19 apparently damaged as happened with the HTC Desire for a while now, if reflashing That possibly corrupt partition with a fresh htc ONE, I'm digging into this line of research

OTG mode?
Have had Htc one x + from ebay for a week with no sync or charging problems then yesterday tried to sync but phone crashed/rebooted and asked to send error report to htc for "abnormal restart" or somthing and my pc saw it as an "un-recognised device", since then it is not even seen by my pc and will only charge when off or after restart. The usb is putting out 5v which it should only do in OTG, using an otg cable it powers flash drives ect and see's them. If I can't fix this it will go back to HTC under warranty.

Run phone down to 2% battery then checked and no more 5v output from the usb port,turned phone off and still no output voltage from the usb. The phone now charges and connects to my pc as it should. If the battery was removable as it is on other phones it would have done the same as discharging the battery on the htc one x + to give it a propper reset.

im looking at the same options too man... would have to pay $150 or so to get a brand new one from rogers unless they sent my phone from repair without noticing the unlocked bootloader. from what ive seen theres no way to relock it and flash the stock recovery aaaand RUU without computer connection.
looking at my situation now, im considering never rooting again just because of how screwed you are if something happens to the hardware.
i havent really considered replacing the usb port myself but i guess if i found a store where i live that can do it for a reasonable price, imma go for that.

Man, you can flash it, if you have the same issue as me, i was able to flash in FASTBOOT MODE, and relock with renove , i used ADB WIFI from MARKET , with this app you are able to send ADB commands , adb shells, etc for REVONE S-OFF, or apply a RUU original, in FASTBOOT MODE your PC should detect connections.

well last night my computer wasnt picking it up in fastboot mode and i have all the drivers from when i unlocked a couple weeks ago so it should be recognized. but i guess i could atleast try relocking it. and cant i just get rid of root straight from the device?
do you know what command i would have to do through adb, ike fastboot oem lock or is it different?

Amm, have you used renove for s-off?? If you use fastboot oem lock maybe you will get the relocked mark or tampered maybe with Revone you can roll backto a clean locked and s-on state
Enviado desde mi HTC One usando Tapatalk 4

my phone is unlocked but is still s-on. how would i get back to stock 4.1.2 and no root after if i can relock my boatloader using that wifi adb?

look, if you lock the bootloader again being in S-ON, you will receive the label relocked or tampered with this you might void your warranty if you send it, the option that I can think, make S-OFF with REVONE, Read a little this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2314582
You can fully use ADB commands via wifi, tested by me, with REVONE you can LOCK the bootloader and back to S-ON , with no trace of having changed either BOOTLOADER or S-OFF/S-ON .

Connect TF701 to PC

Hello,
I unlocked my device by using ASUS unlock tool. Everything went well. I also can see the message "Device is unlocked".
Then I tried to connect my tablet with my computer to install TWRP and further a cutom rom, but this is not possible. If I connect my tablet with my PC nothing is happening at all, means tablet is not recognized at all. I'm using Windows 10. Anyway, my mobile phone is recognized. I already tried to set it back to factory settings, flashed the latest Asus ROM, but nothing helped.
The other curios issue is that the tablet is not able to recognize that the battery is charged. LED is lightning and battery is charged, but tablet says power adapter is not connected.
Any idea? Could it be the cable? I already tried to connect the table over the dock, but same behavior. Dock LED is lightning as well.
I'm really frustrated. Hope anybody can help. I really need to establish the connection to my PC to go ahead.
5.11.15 - Update:
I realized that it seems to be an issue with USB. As mentioned above USB to tablet is not working (no PC can recognize it). If I connect the keyboard no USB device will be found. Charging the tablet is also not working, except I connect the power adapter and cable directly. Any idea?
Thank you.

Hi, I am having the exact same issue with my TF701. Were you able to resolve yours?

Duchman or Dutchman? I'm having again exactly the same symptoms. Tried 3 different USB cables too. Dit yóú manage to get this sorted? I know it was 4 years ago but my TF701T is still working properly, for the most part.

That is exactly the same behavior. Best for now is to charge with the device powered down. I'm about to open up mine to doublecheck if the USB connector is seated properly.
Weird thing is that the keyboard also fully works which should not be possible if the USB port on the tablet was malfunctioning right?
I'm having a lot of apps not displaying anything anymore so was going for the KisKatt rom to see if that fixes the lot. Also I see after some time some apps keeping the device awake all the time so battery is always drained when tablet is closed.

My TF701T is sitting disassembled in one of my drawers after an unfinished screen replacement attempt. I did manage to install TWRP on it, however, I don't remember what I did exactly to accomplish that.
I might have used one of those shady rooting apps that I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention here. Then I probably flashed the TWRP with Flashify. Basically, circumvented having to connect the device to a computer up to the point where I had a working recovery on it.
Don't ask me for the exact steps because I wouldn't be able to remember anyway. I'll lay out a basic plan of action:
1) Find an app that lets you root your device without connecting it to a computer. Be warned, those more often than not come bundled with malware, so exercise caution. I'd back up all the important files and information and do a factory reset before attempting this if I were you.
2) Install Flashify, grant root access, download TWRP zip on your tablet, flash. Do some research on how Flashify works and how to use it before you attempt this.
Good luck, and if anything comes out of this, be sure to come back here and report on what you did in case some other poor soul wants to install a custom recovery on their 7 year old tablet without using a USB cable.

I just had mine crap out for some reason and needed to reformat everything and re-install. Connecting the USB to my PC, the PC makes the connected sound but no drive or anything showed up. I couldn't be bothered to figure out why so I just used adb to put the files on the tablet.
adb push yourfile /sdcard
