I got up this morning and decided to sync some music over to my captivate. I was surprised when I started getting errors that the device was not recognized. After four hours of trying to get the phone to sync I put it back to as vanilla as I could and brought it to ATT. After trying a new cable and just about everything else the phone has been declared to be defective. My problem is how do I get this phone back to original without a usb connection. The phone is not recognized by Odin, ADB or anything else so as far as my knowledge goes I am out of ideas. The phone works fine other wise but I thought some of the brightest on here might be able to help. Any ideas guys?
Try a different USB port.
Mine only works in the back USB ports, but won't do **** in the front ones.
I probably should have been a little more clear. The port is defective on the phone. They can't even communicate with the phone at the AT&T store through the usb port with some reader. I am trying to get the phone back to resembling stock before i send it back for warranty.

Try downloading adbwireless from the market. It will allow you to use adb without a wired connection.

I have Windows 7 64x bit, and sometimes my connections seem dead, and I just uninstall and reinstall the drivers.
ADB wireless seems like your best bet right now
Thanks. Gave that a shot and I can connect to the phone. Now all I need to do is find the att apps.
try a factory reset and see if it recognizes your phone .

Have you tried it on another computer?
So after encountering the annoying 505 error I did a full back up via the Backup app as sync manager on the laptop wasn't playing ball.
Did the hard factory reset and then restored from the back up file I had made 10 minutes beforehand.
Most things have restored but I went to check a picture and ALL GONE!
Things like whatsapp messages and contacts didn't restore either.
What can do to recover the lost images?
and typically none of it worked to solve the 505 error.
I know this isn't the usual standard of question on this forum but is anyone able to shed some light on my problem?
Does the HTC Backup program, back up images or is that an oversight on my part?
ok so it seems that i'm an idiot and htc doesn't back up images on an htc account back up.
I'm now trying to run my phone through recovery software (MagicCute Recovery) but the program won't recognize the phone, I guess because it's not a mass storage device and connects via MTP?
I read a guild to turn on developer mode and then turn on USB debugging but that hasn't made any difference.
If there a way to plug my phone in and the computer to recognize it as a mass storage device?

check google playstore for undelete software, plenty on there, be careful about how much you install or uninstall.
Dont know if your aware of this, but nothing is ever really deleted, its flagged as safe to be overwritten and hidden from the user, too much installing or un-installing apps will overwite the flagged images.

I am sure that when connected to a Linux machine it shows as an external drive...not sure if that helps at all ?
If what i suggest is true then you can run Linux within windows from a USB drive,but clearly your recovery software has to be a linux compatible version.
Just a suggestion rather than fact!

Currently browsing play store now, is there any you can recommend?
I wasn't fully aware of how it works but I knew I could recovery most with some nifty software. MagicCute has worked wonders in the past for me.
At least all my music is stored in music play store.
I found a PC based program to scan the phone but the phone requires to me rooted for that, although that was my main reason for joining this forum to root I'm a little apprehensive to do anything like that until I have saved my pics!
Cheers.

Someone else said they had great luck with DiskDigger Pro
Good luck!
Sorry sheppster, completely missed your reply somehow yesterday. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks clsa I'll give that a go once rooted.
I'm currently reading, reading watching and rewatching content on the rooting process. Very confusing for a complete and utter noob. A lot of content is spoken as if I have a clue, haha.
But I'm now registered on HTC DEV, all videos and content say to select all other supported devices due to the HTC One not being listed, but it is. I'm guessing HTC Dev has been updated since the guides were posted. Shall I click HTC One or still use other devices?
I installed Android Studio and also JDK which it asked for, but when continuing to install Android Studio I got the following message...
Is this detrimental to the use of the program or can I just continue?
Sorry this thread is going to turn into more of a rooting Q&A.
I now have sync manager working correctly and have made a back up on my laptop which I'm happier with than having something floating about in my HTC Account. So I think I'll go ahead and try unlocking my bootloader.
Well I have unlooked the bootloader now. Successfully? Not sure!
After confirming to unlock it then restarted and kept going round in circles, it's now saying "Android is upgrading" running through 253 apps. Nothing like the XDA video where it just restarts as a fresh phone.
I used the HTC One instructions from the drop down menu in the end.
Fingers crossed at the end of that it's working and I can continue to root.
Well considering I have an early start I've stayed up far too long messing around.
BUT! My phone is now rooted, I did attempt putting a venom rom on but it didn't install properly although I seem to have a large ammount of it's features here and there like being able to boot directly to bootloader or recovery from the power button.
But any way the lapcop software I had appeared to be useless, it found 603 images from various emails and programs files none on my actual pictures. I'm not running disk digger which again has found background images but still 85% left to scan.
I'm not holding out too much hope now as there's been a few files added and deleted to root and also reset again to root.
I'll update tomorrow how it went.
I didn't realise how cheap Disk Digger Pro was, so bought and ran that last night. I think it found touch under 4000 images but again mostly PNG program images.
It did manager to find 41 useful images though. It seemed to mainly pick up pictures which I had recently used on facebook, so annoyingly mainly recoverable images through facebook.
It picked up a lot of signatures from various emails and made a lot of duplicates. Not a bad effort for under 2 quid though.
Well it happened guys. Through some terrible luck, my phone dropped to the ground, shattering the screen and making the touch functions unusable. There are some photos on it from my vacation that I'd like to save, but when I connect it to the PC it doesn't recognize the device (Windows 10). I also can't unlock my phone since the touch screen doesn't work. So, is there any way I can at least back my photos up without using my phone's menu? Thanks for the help.
You can try using a USB mouse with an adaptor for micro USB. It worked on my Sony z1 when I broked my screen.

Make sure your photos aren't already backed up via Google Drive or Dropbox?
I know one friend who was worried, but ALL her smartphone pictures were auto backed up on Google Drive.
https://drive.google.com/drive/photos
Yes, Dropbox you have to configure, but apparently many phones are already configured to auto backup with Google Drive over Wi-Fi. At least hers was. Anyway, go to that URL and see...
I have mine auto-backup over Wi-Fi to both Dropbox and Google Drive.

EDIT:
As of beginning of August, Google Photos (separate app) took over for Google Drive Photos. So, all your pictures prior to the last six weeks may be at that URL above.

Around February, my phone was working fine and connecting to my PC and being recognised (in both the phone AND PC/Device Manager). Because I was rooted, I used Wug's toolkit to flash the latest factory image at the time (which included the February security update) and kept data as I've done in the past. It was fine for ~2 weeks after that factory image flash and then my phone just stopped recognising the PC, and my PC stopped recognising the phone as a device. It was completely out of the blue, and seems unfixable.
When I plug my phone into my Desktop - it just charges. It doesn't appear in the device manager at all (image below - Device manager WITH phone plugged in and not appearing):

I've had to do the old 'update drivers' thing in the past with other phones, but they would normally appear under "Phone" or "Other devices" - but both are missing from the list ("Show hidden devices" used in that image). There's also no yellow triangle to say an unknown device has been connected. It just flat out doesn't know it's there. I've also updated/re-downloaded the SDK (and Google drivers) but the phone still isn't recognised.
It got so bad, I had to use USBDeview to uninstall the drivers in the first place because they never appeared. It still didn't help.
On the phone side of things - I'm not given an option to mount the phone as any form of storage. It just behaves like I've plugged it into a charger.
In the USB and Storage settings (image below) - I'm not given an option for ANY form of USB connection.
And in the notification shade (again, while plugged into my PC) no option is given. It just charges:
I've also tried factory resetting the phone, since it charges fine so I don't think it's the charging port but now I've lost root AND the problem is still there. I still can't install OTA updates because in order to get Root, I had to use a kernel which disabled those "this device has been modified" alerts when you boot it, which means the OTA just fails (Error 7 (or 6) - and something about recovery).
In Fastboot, it just says it's 'charging' and makes no attempt to connect via USB. Recovery is the same so it doesn't sound like an Android problem per-se since it affects Fastboot but hardware wise - would could it be?
As a last resort, I've also tried multiple cables (working one for the Nexus 7, DS4 one and a Motorola one) and none of them seem to have helped.
I've also tried different USB ports and on different machines - both running windows 10 and both with the drivers installed but still no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated because I'm just sick of this problem at this point.

You've tried a lot.
My idea is to try to connect to another PC, when possible not Windows 10.
This to check that the problem isn't caused by the phone.

That's a very good point. Pretty glad one of my PCs didn't like the 10 upgrade and is still on 7.

W10-updates are causing issues on my PC
If changing PCs doesn't help, try a different cable. If that still doesn't work, you likely have a problem with the micro USB port.

Tried 3 different USB cables and no luck.
I've got a spare microUSB I bought from eBay which I'll need to solder but the only thing I could find on faulty ports were that it doesn't charge right but mine does.
Going to try connecting it to a windows 7 laptop and see where that goes. If it still doesn't work - the only thing left would be the port itself which will be a pain to replace (and still doesn't guarantee it'll be fixed).
Honestly it sounds like a hardware issue with the MicroUSB port. I can confirm it works fine under my Windows 10 PC at home, both normal access for files and I've also had no issues with using fastboot or ADB. If it's under warranty try to RMA it. If it's out of warranty see how much it would cost to change the MicroUSB port from a local shop or try it yourself
I've had the same thing happen to me twice. I think that some times Windows updates and kills the drivers. Whenever it's happened to me I've installed a universal adb driver that's floating around XDA. Once that alone fixed the issue. Once it didn't. The time it didn't I had to open every device heading in the device manager until I found one that had Google hidden inside it. I uninstalled the Google driver from there in the device manager and then plugged my phone in. Windows did the normal device install from the phone and all was fixed. Hope that helps. Good luck. Windows 10 truly sucks.
Maybe to rule out pc, find a buddy with android phone and see whether you can detect it with adb or fastboot on your pc. I think those drivers are supposed to be universal (all phones)....aren't they?

Tried it on my Windows 10 laptop as well and it's the same problem. Just tried it on my older Windows 7 laptop as well, and same story.
My older Nexus 7 2012 connects fine to all 3 so I don't think it's the drivers.

Sadly already tried this but what's worse is - I've looked through all the possible 'dropdown' options and the drivers/device doesn't appear but it appears in USB Deview (where I uninstalled them).
Tried both the universal ADB driver and Google's own one from the SDK - sadly didn't work in the end.

I'm beginning to think the same to be honest. It doesn't connect in Fastboot, which leads me to believe it's more hardware than software because if it were Android itself screwing up - it would at least work in Fastboot as that doesn't touch Android.
It doesn't mount as anything, so I can't access my files on any of the systems I've tried. I've even tried my younger brother's laptop and it doesn't 'see' it (but his Nexus 4 connects and works just fine).
I bought my Nexus 6 ~6 months after release so it's out of warranty (what a time for it to run out of warranty). I bought a new USB port from eBay ages back so I might have to fit it myself since all the repair shops I've contacted would take ~3 days to do it and I need to have a phone.
I really hope replacing the port will fix it. It charges fine, which makes me slightly worried it won't work (as it's not an obvious port issue) but I can't think of anything else which could be the problem.
Thanks to everyone who's replied though! I'll see how the USB replacement works out.
Hello all, long time lurker 1st time poster....
I've never really felt the need to post because i normally just do a search and work things out for myself, but i'm now having the same problem and noticed this around 2-3 weeks ago after trying to copy some pictures i'd taken onto my Laptop from my Nexus 6 and it not being recognised, only charging.
I've tried EVERYTHING (apart from reverting back to Windows 7) mentioned in this thread and in a couple of the other threads i've found where a few Nexus 6 users have had the same problem. I'm now stumped for ideas.
My Nexus 6 runs as flawlessly as usual, no battery drainage, stutters etc.
I'm currently running Temasek's 18.2 (5.1.1) rom, and have been using it now for a long time (probably for 8 months or so with absolutely no problems whatsoever). I've updated to MM a few times and tried a few different Roms, but to be honest i just found that LP worked better for me so have always just reverted back to the last official LP 5.1.1 LVY48I Rom using Wugfresh's Tool Kit (i know i know , but having rooted/played about with other Samsung/HTC Phones in the past, i just preferred to use it) and then restoring my backed up reliable Temasek's 18.2 Rom.
So, what else can i say....well, i called Motorola around a week ago for some advice, just incase there is a potential warranty claim (because my Nexus 6 is only around 9 months old), but as i have a Custom Rom on it, they said that there is nothing that they can do.
I do have an official clean 5.1.1 Rom LMY48M that i fortunately backed up to my TWRP Folder on my laptop just after installing TWRP+rooting. I did 1st of all also try connecting my Sandisk Ultra Dual USB DRIVE 3.0 to my Nexus with the Rom on there, but the Nexus just doesn't even know that the USB Drive is connected, so I have had to send it via bluetooth to my Nexus from my laptop, as that was the only way to get it on there. I found that Zipping the file 1st, sending it to my Nexus via Bluetooth and then extracting it once i'd received it saved hours in time because the file was too large in its original form (something like 4+gb down to 1.9gb). I've also tried a few other LP Rom's in the last couple of weeks, hoping that maybe i'd accidentally switched a setting off or something and that the phone would correct itself and my connection problem would correct itself but i've had no joy.
NOW...........................probably a silly question but it's the only other way i can think of returning to Stock for a potential warranty claim. I know that i can install the official 5.1.1 Rom i backed up via TWRP because i've tried, but is there a way to remove Root+TWRP and return to Stock Recovery+remove root without using a PC ? I'm pretty sure that there isn't but feel the time is right for me to ask the Question as i'm really not 100% sure.
Many Thanks in advance for helpful advice given, like i've said at the start of this post, i've held off asking Questions before because i had no real need and just searched :angel: , but this has really stumped me .
CHEERS
Some quick thoughts.
1. The Motorola rep you spoke to I think read from a script and didn't realize you were talking about the Nexus 6. As this is a developer device, having custom software on it should make no difference for warranty purposes. If I am mistaken however, read on.
2. If you're going to install a stock ROM on the Nexus 6, a PC will be required, especially if needing to replace TWRP with the stock recovery. So why not download the latest Android 6.0.1 image from Google's Nexus firmware page and flash that? There's no point in reverting to an Android 5.x image simply for a warranty claim.
Many thanks Strephon Alkhalikoi for your quick reply and sorry for my slow 1 (work was getting in the way....)
1 - at some point today, i hope to chase my potential problem up with Motorola or possibly Expansys because i purchased the Nexus 6 from them via Play.com/Rakuten.co.uk
2 - The 5.1.1 Stock image that was going to be put on the Nexus was only a normal TWRP back up i'd saved by chance straight after flashing+rooting that i had saved to my Laptop. There is no way for me to flash any new Stock software because my Nexus is just not recognised by my Laptop. I've tried installing+uninstalling drivers/Minimal ADB Fastboot file/Wugfresh's Toolkit, plus Developer options usb debugging on/off etc and Settings/Storage/USB Connection (3 little dots top right) which gives me 2 options Media Device (MTP) + Camera (PTP) but after changing either, still no sign of connection, just charging.
As it stands it works fine on 5.1.1, but with me not being able to Flash any Stock Roms because of my Laptop connection issue, it will be forever more on LP. I could put up with that but obviously i need to try and sort this out also because i can't transfer normally any media files backwards/forwards (only via the much slower Bluetooth) and it will affect any future sell on value when it's time to move on.
Many Thanks once again
**Latest Update** for those not asleep yet....
i spent nearly 20 minutes on the phone around an hour or so ago explaining my problem to Motorola. It's not something they've heard of before so couldn't really help and that by being Rooted, their repair center will not touch it. I can only think that if i'd purchased the Nexus 6 straight from Google, it would not have been such a problem to handle a Rooted device so it would have been taken in for repair i'm guessing.
It was explained to me that i would be contacted via email once a technician had been consulted and here is the reply i received a little while ago.
"Thank you for contacting Motorola.
As promised, I have spoken to a technician who has a couple of suggestions.
A. As we discussed, he also suggested connecting your phone to another computer.
B. Be sure that you have Windows Media Player and the PS Drivers installed on your laptop.
[link removed due to my lack of XDA posts]
C.
At this point, I would like to suggest that you restart your phone on Safe Mode.
Safe Mode puts a phone in a diagnostic state and it can help us determine if a third-party app is causing the device to malfunction (freeze/reboot/run slow/error message). Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Google Play store. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a third-party app is the cause of the issue you are experiencing.
Please long press the power button > long tap on power off > reboot to safe mode >ok.
If you find that the issue is resolved in Safe Mode, please delete all apps from the phone, and gradually add them back one or two at a time, until you are able to identify which is causing the sound issue.
To move phone from Safe Mode back to normal mode, you can simply restart it.
D.
To be sure if the problem is software or the port itself:
1. Reboot phone in Fastboot Mode
2. Plus phone into computer
3. If phone is recognised as 'Fastboot Shamu NS,' the issue is software, rather than a physical issue.
In this case, you would need to reset the phone, which I know you are hesitant to do, but you should then be able to reflash the factory images, available on the Google website.
Unfortunately, there little else that we are able to do to help you since, as discussed over the phone, SBE UK, our repair, centre will not accept a rooted device.
For any further assistance or information please do not hesitate to contact us, quoting your Customer Reference number. We are reachable on 03339 997 550 to discuss the matter further with one of our experienced customer service agents. Please contact us any time between the hours of 8am and 8pm from Monday to Friday.

SBE repaired my nexus 5, when it was rooted/unlocked.
Is there any damage to the usb port? Never tell the customer service rep that your device.
Cheers for the reply JonesL
As far as I'm aware, there isn't any damage to the USB Port. I did say I thought that that might be the problem but she said if it was the reason, then the phone wouldn't charge at all.
I could still send it in and hope that on the off chance they don't check for Root, but i will be liable for the postal returns plus the hassle of being without a mobile whilst it is away. Also, I've now given my IMEI number and a couple of other details so I'm sure I'll now flag up on their system when its checked.
Oh well....
