I know this is the same post but I put it in the wrong section.
I have a Kindle fire HD 7 inch, and I am trying to install CM11 on it but I can't connect it to my PC. When I connect it, it starts charging, but it won't appear on my PC. I tried installing the ADB drivers but it did not work. I also factory reset it, but it still won't connect. Is this the cause of loose solder joints or some other software issue?
This thread actually should be in the 7 inch section
You need to enable adb on the device
Still not connecting
Even after enabling ADB, my Kindle Fire HD still won't connect to my pc
Try another pc
Nope
Still does not appear. Kindle charges fine but could this be a pin problem?
I suppose. It's hard to tell. Try another download of the drivers?
I did download drivers twice

I had run the driver installer twice but this did not make the KFHD visible. I'm not sure if this is a pin problem or a software problem. I'm thinking it is not the pins because the KFHD charges still.
Again, try a new download. Did you get a message saying the drivers installed properly?

You can try using a Linux distro instead of Windows

Yes, I have but there is no difference.
Then I second your idea that a pin might be busted. You seem to have ruled out everything else.
Then why is it charging
I know it is a broken pin, but why is the Kindle charging?
Most likely only the data pin(s) are damaged. The outer two pins I believe are the ones that handle voltage and ground.
Then I will fix it
I will open the Kindle and attempt to fix the problem. Thanks for your port information.

So I've searched through threads and can't seem to find any solutions. I'm running Axura 2.1CE w/ JK3 kernel. I've used multiple cables, on different computers and none of the computers are able to even detect the device. Any thoughts?

I had this happen to me a couple of times. One time i just needed to restart my phone, and at least once it was a bad flash and I just had to reflash over and master clear. never had it become a permanent problem.

can you not get into download mode using hardware buttons?
The usb cable that came with the phone is not working for you even after installing the proper samsung usb drivers? What windows OS are you trying on?
Make sure it is a data cable and not a charge only cable. Look at the tag that is on the cable and it should tell you what it is.
Like UpNSmoke said.. make sure your using the correct cables.
It is suggested that if your having issues with a computer recognizing your phone to plug the cable in to the USB Port that is on your Motherboard on your Computer.
I would also suggest that if you haven't already - use the drivers that are in Design Gears ODIN 1 Click Back to Stock (links also provided in the sticky here as well). These are the one's I've been using since I've had my phone - and haven't had any issues.
Another thing you can do is - plug in your phone - and then re-install the drivers while the phone is plugged in.
And lastly.. I seem to have better luck with my Windows 7 box then my work's Windows XP machine. Good luck..

The cable I used was the one that came with the phone, what's odd is that I've never had this problem until earlier this week. I've tested it on Win7 x64 and Win7 x86

Tried ODIN 1-click and every machine I've run it on is windows 7.
I haven't had any luck getting a decent connection to my phone yet either. I've tried several different drivers, x86 and x64, different versions of each. Different versions of Kies and Kies Mini. I've tried suggestions from online. Nothing has gotten me anything reliable. I almost forgot, I've tried 2 different phones also. It would be one thing if it just NEVER worked, but for it to work sometimes and other times not, mostly not, is frustrating. I'm afraid to try a new ROM since everything I see about unbricking a Captivate requires a USB connection.
You definitely need to have to have a working USB connection before flashing... and plus you need it to return to stock using ODIN.
Have you tried re-installing the drivers with the phone plugged in and no dice?
I've tried plugged in, not plugged in. USB hub, USB motherboard connection. Just about everything I've seen online I've tried. Some don't work at all and others work briefly but usually within a day refuse to work more than it does work.
So recently I soft-bricked my phone (phone---!---computer) and it won't go download/recovery. It randomly froze while odin was running. But anyways, I've been trying to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 to unbrick it but it keeps telling me the drivers are not installed.
I've installed drivers using kies, the one click unbrick, and just from the samsung website and none of them seem to work. When I plug my phone in, it makes the usb plug in noise, then an icon shows up in the bottom right task bar for maybe 1/10th a second and then disappears. I'm running vista x32. Any ideas? Could it be the cable?
Heimdall uses special drivers.
As part of the heimdall one-click operation, it should ask you if you want to install the drivers (zadig.exe, I believe, is the application that does this).
If, for some reason, it doesn't, grab the full Heimdall package (search in the Development section for "Heimdall"), and that will definitely have the drivers.

Yea it told me to install the samsung usb composite driver and I did that. After rebooting my computer, when I plugged in the phone, windows confirmed that I had the driver installed but for some reason when I plug my phone into the usb it only recognizes the phone for a split second.
Edit: Actually the instructions tell me to put my phone into download mode in order for the driver to be installed successfully. Since my phone is bricked, I can't do that but it let me install the driver anyway. So I guess that's why it tells me drivers are not properly instaled.
That does sound like either a flaky cable or a USB port that's not behaving. If you have multiple USB ports, try plugging the phone into different ones. If you're on a desktop, the ones in the back are usually better. You may need to reboot the computer between tries.
If all that fails, see if you can get your hands on a different cable, or even a different computer.

Yeah, I would have to agree. People don't realize how much havoc a faulty cable can cause.
I ran on it on my roomate's ubuntu computer and it worked instantly! Thanks for the suggestions!

since i cant seem to connect my VZW Galaxy Tab SCH-I800 to my computer via USB, im wondering if there is any way to root it without using a computer at all?
perhaps something i can download and install to micro SD card?
maybe z4root

tried but no dice. i have no Win7/64 drivers for this thing and cant seem to find a solution. Samsung Tech Support told me it was Microsofts fault lol
without a pc with usb connections working, it will be difficult. what exactly you are using for an operating system?

That is actually a very common issue, and bad USB port is also common.
I am not sure when this started. I have used windows to install cymod several times but i went to download a update and install it and my computer will not recognize the touchpad. it says the device driver was not installed properly
i have tried on two different units.
one has web os only and the other has android
it goes through the steps of looking for the device and then nothing.
i get a tone on the touchpad and then nothing on the computer
I do have the correct setting in the storage settings so i have no idea what to do
did you run novacom again?

It sounds like driver problem to me. Search for HP touchpad driver and download and install the latest version you find, that should do it.. I'm assuming you have the MTP box checked in storage > settings > USB computer connection. Also, reboot both the tablet and the computer after installing the new driver.
Good luck.
I have two different devices one only has web os and the other has android.
on the android I have the MTp checked and have accessed it in the past but i upgraded to windows 8
that being said i had the same issue with windows 7 i just thought a fresh install would fix the issue and it has not
I have downloaded what i thought was teh latest drivers.
I have installed novacom
and rebooted my system.
and I get the same error message Windows does not recognize the device.
i get the connected tone on my computer but I don't get any response on the touchpads
did you put the tablet in usb mode?
i did on the android not on touchpad forgot how to honestly

In webos when you plug in the USB it will come up with a prompt. Remember to safely eject before disconnecting.

it doesn't do anything when i plug in the usb. i get the tone on the computer but nothing on the touch-pad at all
i ried through the usb ports on the computer and the ones on the case just to be sure

Try using a different USB lead and plugging into different USB sockets on your PC sometimes I find my PC will recognize it with one socket but not another same thing occasionally happens with my USB sticks. Otherwise I would suggest trying a different PC if you still have a problem that would suggest a fault with the USB socket on your touchpad which I have had to have replaced once.
Fingers crossed that isn't your problem.

This will let TP be recognized on the PC
"If you want to transfer files back and forth from the CM9 touchpad you might have difficulty figuring out how exactly to do it.Here's how you pull it off:
First, tap on your app drawer in the top right of the screen (the little checkerboard). Now, select the "settings" icon.
Now tap on storage on the left-hand pane.
Finally, the tricky part - tap on the 3 squares at the VERY top right of your screen. It will bring down a little drop-down menu for USB computer connection. Tap it and put a checkmark in the "Media Device MTP" box.
Now you can plug your touchpad into the computer at will and transfer files back and forth from it. Easy as pie, I'm not sure why this isn't activated by default, but it's a simple fix if you know what to do."
Sorry I copied this from XDA a couple of weeks ago, so I can not take credit for this but it works great
that is already done on my android, and the touch-pad should auto connect. but neither are it says device not recognized

Did you check my second suggestion/try it on another PC to find out whether you have a faulty USB socket on your Touchpad as they can go wrong?
yes i did and i tried 4 usb ports, but that would be rather unusual for it to go bad on two devices right?

i also just tried it on my galaxy s3 using a usb port and it gave me the same unknown device error
im not sure i read that you put TP into usb mode from webos..if not, google the how to.. really simple..
also, install the novacom again.. iirc, it has the drivers too
to me, this screams missing drivers for both devices.
it wouldnt hurt to go to youtube and watch some reverendkjr vids

Novacom shouldn't make a difference, I have just installed windows 8 on my laptop and haven't installed anything yet , just plugged in the Touchpad and it was recognized straight away
Sounds like either windows is messed up or the USB connector of the Touchpad has gone .
same error on TP + his galaxy??
dam the luck..busted ports on both devices at the same time..
right after a fresh format of windows ; what a coinkadink
if on your very longest shot that win needs new drivers, the palm / novacom etc
process installs them and TP will get recognized and picked up..
he said he does not know how to root his TP to put into usb mode..
i know from recent experience that even when android is in mtp mode, my PC would not connect play w/ it until i had new drivers..
same experience w/ my new nexus 7 during the process of rooting it..

Ok lets get a few things right
I do know how to root my device I did it a while ago and honestly haven't done it in a while so I am rusty
but that being said if you cant access the device at all even in usb mode then you cant root.
And yes now my galaxy s3 wont recognize either.
every time i try it tells me that there was a device error and windows doesn't recognize the device.
i formatted the cpu again and put windows 7 and no help
I have tried two diffrent touchpads one android and one web os
and my phone
to get things right you have to start at the beginning. Windows will not recognize TP w/o the drivers first. It's obvious you have been avoiding that step. you need to go back and do the whole nova com thing to install them before you attach TP to it.. look at the you tube videos. you will be finished in a few minutes. .
Hey guys,
bought a fire 7 with Fire OS 5.3.6.4 and wanted to ADB debug. Followed striclty the tutorial and my device was found but with the status unauthorized. Now I kinda know the problem. My Fire doesnt ask me to confirm my PC with an RSA-Key the only thing showing up is that there is a weak loading source connected. I tried probably everything, revoking all trusted Pcs turning ADB off and on, resetting my Fire, used 2 different Laptops one with the same Problem and one where the Fire wasnt even found. Now I really dont know how to fix this problem, if you have any advice or the same problem... Im thankful for every suggestion.

Because the microUSB cable doesn't have a data (WHITE, GREEN) wiring. Try to use an another microUSB cable with data wiring like Samsung microUSB cable.
