Phone is no longer recognized by pc

Like the topic says. My phone is no longer recognized by my pc so I can't use adb or turn on mass storage. I've rebooted, power cycled, installed drivers, and anything I can think of. This is all via the usb cable.
Any ideas would be great. Im not home till tomorrow morning but still give me some ideas to go on so I get my phone back in shape!
Running CM6 nightly 23.

Have you checked to see if it is a damaged USB cable?

Would it be damaged if it still charges the phone?

That is possible. It may not be getting 2 way communication but still have +5v and gnd in working order. Does it show up as a problem device in system properties, assuming its windows? If the phone is charging, I would tend to believe it to be more of a driver issue rather than phone issue.

Yes it still shows in the system as a device but windows says it has malfunctioned. Its odd how its worked since March till now.

I was having the same problem but I rooted my phone and used it on my pc a few times and then my pc would see but didn't know what it was so I went back to the stock Rom but haven't checked it yet ill let you know when I do.

Trying reinstalling your USB drivers. Also, if you have access to another computer see if another computer recognizes your Hero.
Narrow it down to which device is malfunctioning.

ok so now I'm back onto a rooted stock rom and it is working fine with my PC.

[Q] How to enable "charging only" mode on S3 mini?

Is there any option which allows you to enable "only charging" when connected to PC USB port (not MTP or PTP).
I have read that if screen is locked when pluged into PC USB, JB will not allow file transfer. That is not my case. Even if locked, autoplay starts and I am able to see files on device.
I am asking that from security reasons. If I am somwhere were I just wan to charge battery and I don't want enable file transfer between device and PC.
Thanks.

have you tried copying or editing files on your phone when it is in that state?

that is interesting as I have not run into this issue or seen any configuration to control this
maybe there is someone else that has also had this problem that might be able to provide the solution
lets wait and see

Hi! If I have locked screen, I can't access my data. But it depense on, how lock screen is set up. If I set "maze lock" i can't access data, but if I set only "slide" to unlock my phone, I can access data even if phone is locked.

I didn't try with maze because I don't use it. Maybe there is some setting, tweak or something which allows charging only mode?
If I just want to charge using someones pc I don't want to bring home troyans etc. on my SD.

I think that you have to have securited lock screen at first. If you have only slide for unlock than there is no reason for blocking access to phone and card memory while connected to PC.

I dont think like that. There is a reason. Just one example. If you are at friends house and your bat is low. You connect your phone to his pc while you are drinking coffee. Nobody is touching phone. There is no need of sec lock. Ok? You come home, connect phone to your pc and... Your AV protection start to freak out.
I think there need to be an option "charge only" even if sec lock is switched off.

Only thing that comes to my mind is cutting data wires in your USB cable, this will be 100% safe but probably not what are you looking for

Yes. Thats one way. But it is not so good solution because you need always to carry your cable with you. Software cutting of data traffic would be much better solution.

Maybe an app/script that would rename the system app responsible for USB storage management so it's not accessible by the system when you connect phone to PC? Just an idea.

For those of you who have this problem, here is a potential band-aid:
When I installed the Galaxy Gear apk on my phone and tried to connect it to the Gear it would try to install 19 items / fail then try to connect to the watch, pair and then disconnect never actually finishing.
I finally got it working by going into the Gear Directory on my phone and running the APK's in that Directory using a file manager, the one which seems to have done the trick is "SAccessoryService_signed.apk", after running that it finally allowed gear to connect and stay connected.
Once you get gear connected you'll likely want some new apps, I installed several from here

Hope it helps

Thanks!
You sir, are a lifesaver! I will test this in the morning, but I can confirm the Signed.APK installs. Thanks!

I installed the signed.apk, but how do I actually run it? Mine still doesn't connect :/

Great. Thank you. I starting doing this. Then gave up.

Still having issues
SO, I got to my Gear this morning and tried this solution, but I am still having issues. I cant get through the setup and I keep getting "connection failed" even after I run the Signed APK. Anyone have any idea? I see others have it working so I must be doing something wrong.
I am on CM 10.2-20130920 which is Android 4.3.

Can't see that program even after I install the APK in the Gear folder. The only things I see that may be relevant are The Gear Manager APK and the Samsung Accessory Service in the All programs list in settings. I keep getting Bluetooth to connect on the watch (says connected for a second then goes to the spinning watch/device animation), but after a while of the animation on both the phone and watch a message on the phone comes up with "Can not connect". After that point the bluetooth connection seems lost and the Gear Manager asks to connect with the watch again.
SO, I figured it might be my CM 10.2 nightly build on my phone and installed the stable CM 10.1.3 build. Sadly, the same error is happening,:crying:
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?

Could your post SAccessoryService_signed.apk Im unable to locate it in my directory. Want to try to upgrade to 4.3 Liquid Smooth and see if installing this APK would do the trick because previously I was getting device not supported, but working on 4.2.2 ROMs

Hey guys just wanted some clarification before I go out and purchase one of these beautiful gears !
I own a Galaxy S4 currently running cm10.2 built from source.
Can anyone verify that using the supplied .apk from the OP, you have had success pairing up your gear with your S4 running cm10.2 and have all the main functions working ?
Can anyone please reply with a detailed response on what type of function's are working and what is not.

The only thing that work was making phone call. Notification, Weather, and svoice does not work.
Now if you install a stock 4.3 rom, everything works.

Can you post the apk, " SAccessoryService_signed.apk" please.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app

Hi Guys,
First to find SAccessoryService_signed.apk it is in the /sdcard/Gear directory.. It is downloaded by the gear manager software
Anyway I have found something else out too... once you run that apk, if you re-open the gear manager, it will download the next app and put it into that gear directory (it also deletes the old one)... if you keep doing this, you get through mose of the providers necessary. As of writing I have got through to SAmusicprovider_signed.apk which fails install and has left me stuck here.
I have tried this on a HTC One X running CM10.1 and a Samsung Galaxy Nexus running stock AOSP 4.3.
If I have an s4 with stock 4.2.2 which installs all ofthe apps automatically which means it is something that sammy has added to their version of android to get the stuff to install.
Will post logs if anyone is interested...
Cheers!

Gear Needs touchwiz elements in order to operate all functions such as shealth svoice and other elements. I have saw where others have got it to work somewhat but not fully. I can confirm with Gear 1 all hyperdrive roms work extremely well with gear.

[Q]Help w/ mounting phone with 4.3?

ON 4.1/4.2 I had no issues with mounting phone to transfer files. Even on GPE roms with 4.3 no issues. But all 4.3 sense roms I cannot get it to mount and allow me to transfer files. What it does right now when I plug it in goes through found new hardware attempting to install, no go, or select advanced and it says not installed because it couldn't find necessary software. Then it comes up with HTC One Camera connected and shows stupid options that don't help me at all like; Dropbox and microsoft options and stuff.
Things I've already attempted
Removed drivers
attempted to re-install them
USB debugging on, rebooted between selecting/deselecting options phone & computer.
Removed HTC Sync, attempted to reinstall get an error upon trying 1152 Error extracting to temp location, I cannot change its desired location though, stupid lol.
Cannot delete C:\HTC folder cause of passthrusvr.exe I don't need or want that (my understanding it is for passing internet connections and such).
I'm on XP, I know its a dinosaur, it gets what I need done, until now lol.
Oh ya, it connects fine to other computers like my works and a friends. Just not mine which has all my music on it... :-\
I just wanna move some music over and stuff, hate going back and forth on backups to do so.
I won't be available til tomorrow to trouble shoot or late tonight depending on how things go later.

Umm sounds like the problem isn't with your phone but with your computer and windows is such a finicky os that not one solution works for all kind of thing. Just a thought are your firewalls configured properly? What does the computer show when plugging it in device manager? Sometimes my phone and laptop don't play along and its either because I have fast charge enabled in kernel or I just turn debugging off always works then and the phone is recognized as mass storage device. Good luck

I don't use anti virus or have any firewalls active as far as I know, it looks for cdc serial but then nothing happens so it mounts as an HTC One camera device. Stock kernel as well, appreciate the trying tho.

And its def a computer thing which I'm not super knowledgeable on unfortunately. I've got it to connect on other PCs and laptops without a hiccup, also have tried differs cables also, before that's suggested too. I'm almost positive it's just the leftovers from drivers that I can't seem to fully get rid of.

Make sure check ur gear, everytime u plugged it to the computer it will show u a dialog box or msg on the gear. U have to check to always allow pc to use or show gear. Not exactly with the words but that what I mean. You have to check "ok" and always allow so next time u plug it in the pc will detect ur gear and will not show offline
