I've had my Lumia 520 since January and about a week after I got the phone, a driver issue started happening on my computer with the phone.
No matter what I do, every single time I plug in my Lumia 520 after a computer restart, I have to uninstall and reinstall the device in Device Manager.
If I replug it in after reinstalling it in Device Manager, it works fine. But after a computer restart I have to do the same thing again.
There are 3 WinUsb Device drivers in Device Manager, under Intel(r) Centrino(r) Wireless Bluetooth(r) + High Speed Devices.
Bump.
Still having this issue. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings,
I´m having a weird problem: my phone won´t sync anymore. It happened once in the past, but it was right before I tried a new ROM (flashing a new ROM made the problem dissipate).
But now it is persistent: when I connect the USB cable, the phone simply becomes sluggish, like a process eating 100% cpu. Disconnecting the USB cable instantaneously makes it responsible again.
Problem is, the PC won´t detect it anymore, so I can´t successfully sync. Does any1 have any idea about what is going on ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
fyi, I already connected the phone with task manager running, just to see if any hidden app would come up eating 100% cpu. No luck - everything seems to be normal in task manager.
fyi2, connecting the charger won´t make it sluggish - only the usb cable connected to the pc.
Remove/reinstall Activesync from PC, maybe....
Hard reset, maybe....
This is normal, I have seen it on WM6, 6.1, also a X51 running WM5 I guess..
Thanks guys. I´ll try reinstalling ActiveSync.
Funny thing is, just tried syncing with Bluetooth and it worked... It just won´t work via USB...
Update: uninstalled windows mobile device center and drivers (Im using Vista 64 btw). Installed it again and... it won´t recognize the phone (in device manager the driver has an exclamation mark).
Does any1 know how to get the driver working ?
Hello guys,
I own a htc diamond 2, but recently had to format my computer and installed windows 7 (x64). After this installation and Microsoft office 2007, i installed Windows Mobile Device Center, but when i connect the phone to the computer it installs the update, but does not detect the device thereby precluding their synchronization. I've uninstalled and reinstalled office and windows mobile device center, but the computer still does not detect the equipment. I already consulted the manual, but nothing can cause the equipment to be detected.
Can any one tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Before this installation the computer was running Windows 7 (x86/32) with the same office and all was well
Thank you
This is strange. I own a 64Bit Win7 Pro which doesn't make any trouble.
1st thing I would try is to connect the phone again while being logged on as an administrator, maybe you are a normal user and not allowed to install drivers or something similar.
2nd thing i would try is to delete all active sync connections on PC and on your device. then restart everything and connect them new.
3rd thing to try out is to deactivate under the "USB to PC" option the "fast data synchronization" feature.
4th possibility is to set up both, your computer and your mobile device totally new.
Cheers

Thank you for your reply.
I've run the installation has administrator, and i've the problems i present.
I will follow itch one of your advices trying to solve this problem.
At last if any one don't work i will try the EubeniaUSB or the drivers of the Active Sinc x64 that i've found on two post at the xda forum. (This will work? )
Thank you.
I had the same problem to start with i would suggest doing what i did and find/replace the usb cable as that was what was at fault on mine - these cables are quite cheap and the pins move too easily inside . Try changing to a different or new cable and see what happens
For some reason, out of nowhere, my computer or phone are deciding not to connect to each other, which it was working fine last night and hundreds of times before that on the same laptop, suddenly when i plug my phone in now it says drives failed to install, and so i downloaded that latest LG Android Device Drivers, and still wont work. Any thoughts on how to fix this ?
Do you get the USB connection icon on your phone? If so, this shouldn't be that hard to fix. It's probably just a driver issue. I would uninstall the LG and Android drivers and start over. Now, if you don't get the USB icon on your phone at all, then you either have a bad USB cable or SD card. I had this problem for months before I figured out it was my USB cable that was the problem.
If driver issue with Windows, uninstall drivers, reboot, install drivers, reboot, after Windows loads then plug in the phone, then try everything starting with Charge Only, then Mass Storage, then Internet Connection Mode, and all the drivers should install fine
If this fails you can try ADB over Wifi in the Play Store. It bypasses a lot of issues if you are just trying to use adb on your phone. If you need files off your phone try Wifi File Transfer. No wires or cables needed. Both just need an existing Wifi network to transfer/push/pull files.
My HTC 8x for T-Mobile doesn't show up in windows explorer. It suddenly stopped after working perfectly from the day I got it. I thought it may be my computer, like a missing driver or a setting but it doesn't work on my work computer, while my friends lumia works perfectly on the same computer.
Did there a setting I switched off in the phone?
I really don't want to hard reset cause I have so many email accounts set up with the phone. Any help would be great!

or try to delete driver and reconect phone.
didn't do anything. Plus it doesn't work on another computer that detects my friends lumia.
Anyone have any ideas? Please any help?
I had this problem on my computer that was previously connected to my Lumia920, and the second time I have connected it, nothing detected. I just plugged/unplugged the device several times, and after 5-6 times, there it was. Is ur device functioning properly? Is there any sound of connection from ur computer when u connect ur device?
Is your phone locked, by chance? I noticed that if the phone is locked it will not expose the file subsystems unless its unlocked.
some people have also reported that using a different usb port in your computer also helps.
Make sure you are using short USB cable that is working with another phone. Half of problems i have with computer "not detected" phones was due to low quality USB cables and under-powered USB ports, especially ones located at front of computer. Try to experiment with different USB cables and USB ports on different computers, this sounds stupid but helps in half a cases .

I have some problems with my Lumia 920 when the cord is to long!
Try to use the orginal cord!
Hope it helps
Watch for Memory card!
Hi,
Try to remove the memory card and reattach the device.
It solved the problem for me and read on some places about it.
Be careful what size and 'shape'(brand) memory card you use as it can block usb usage as it seems for me.
Method 1:
Disconnect all the external devices (printers, scanner, USB (Universal Serial Bus) drives, etc...)Except mouse and the keyboard and then boot up.
If this corrects the issue then add the devices back one at a time until you discover the piece of hardware causing the issue. Then get any updated drivers\software for the device.
Method 2:
If you still come across the issue, I suggest you to run Hardware Troubleshooter and then check for the issue.
Method 3:
If the above step does not help us to diagnose the issue, uninstall the drivers for USB [Universal Serial bus] host controller and restart the computer. Let Windows install the generic drivers and then see if it helps you to fix the issue.
a) Open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, then Device Manager in the search box.*
b) If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
c) Look for the device under USB [Universal Serial bus] host controller, right click on it and select Uninstall.
d) Reboot the computer.
e) On reboot, Windows 7 should re-install the drivers automatically.
You may also refer the steps from the manufacture website or contact Nokia for any known issues.

Try installing the Nokia Software Recovery Tool or the Nokia Care Suite. It should install all of the drivers necessary to connect your device. There is probably a driver corrupted.
the question you need to ask is if your friend has the same model Lumia as you. If he doesn't, it could be a problem with the driver on your PC.
If he does have the same model as you, it has to be a problem with your phone. You need to do a factory reset.
Have you checked if it works with the Windows Phone app?
Also, there is really no reason to have a need to connect it to a PC. As long as you store your documents and photos in OneDrive, you can easily access them from your PC without having to connect your device.
Ok I know this problem has been highlighted several times but I cannot get to the bottom of this...
I'm having problems when the phone is connected to the PC. This only started happening after I unlocked my bootloader. When the phone rebooted after this, the phone made the noise that it was connected to the laptop, followed by a disconnection sound a few seconds later with a message that the MTP device driver could not be installed. I am using Windows 7 x64. Prior to this my phone worked fine with the laptop
After this, I uninstalled all the drivers including HTC sync followed by a restart
I reinstalled all the drivers - still didn't work
I tried 3 different USB cables - still nothing. I also tried these all in different ports
The phone registers in bootloader as fastboot usb. Once in recovery adb no longer works and the device disconnects again
Anyone want to shed some light on this? It happened me before and it somehow seemed to rectify itself
Anyone help me on this?
Tried 5 different USB cables. Also tried on another laptop with windows 8 installed. Still no luck. One of the USB cables charged the phone but did not register under device manager and ADB still did not work...
I am completely at a loss as to why it is doing this
Also, when I connect to a charger, the Car app opens....so I think it may be a voltage problem...
