usb cable
i have also tried many new usb cables... sorry i forgot to mention that.

Can you try a different computer? Trying to identify if it's a computer problem or a phone problem.

i dotn really have the option of using another computer... i think it is the computer but i am not sure.

Plug another device into the computer. 1 that is known to work. If that does not work you will need to uninstall your usb drivers and reinstall them with no devices attached.
For more information google hardware manager usb.
If this doesn't solve your issue it would either b a virus or hardware failure. If your phone charges fine I seriously doubt it is your phone that is the problem.
I almost forgot. The android usb drivers have been updated since the last release of windows. I would look into this as well.

Do you have Sync installed?

Make sure you have compatible and up-to-date USB Drivers. Another thing, make sure you have HTC Sync installed.
Check the permissions on the computer with USB Ports.

The phone might be bad. I had this problem and Sprint replaced the phone

Same problem here... my wife's hero is recognized with same USB cable and same computer ... but mine wont recognize ... it started doing this after I flashed to a sense rom to update prl ... could that have screwed it up?

ok so i have tried everything listed above except replacing the driver with newer ones because i cant even get it to show up in device manager... i have uninstalled and reinstalled sync multiple times... i plugged in my friend evo and it was recognized immediately. so im guessing its the phone. not sure if sprint will replace my phone as i dont have insurance.. also i need to just re.stock my phone then im guessing... gotta figure out how to do that.

You need to go to the 'device tree' in device manager this is the default and only view on windows xp. You are looking for usb root port or .... well hold on ill find it. Im assuming vista here?
It doesn't say it in the article but from my experience sometimes it can be selective about which devices it will allow to connect.
Unplug your device now.
Removing the drivers and re-installing them erases all the current configurations. Yes your computer remembers everything you have ever plugged into those ports until this point ↓
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/817900
I hope you remember to google for the latest android usb driver before you plug it back in!
If you didn't just go through the steps again at the microsoft site. Reopen the new drivers From android project Then plug your device in. Keep me posted.
Oh and you cant 'Revert your phone to stock' unless you made a backup of the stock rom before you flashed it. Well you could also have another copy of the same phone lying around... And even then when they send the device to hardware quality labs they're forensic equipment will tell that the locks have been snapped. Your phone might come back with a bill.
↑ Things of this nature are usually against customer service policies but in today's economy nothing would surprise me.
I hope you're not panicking! If you couldn't tell I have run into this problem more than once over the years, so the odds that your phone is jacked up are slim to none £

you can always just download the stock rom from sprint for and update cant u? at this point i might as well insure it then have it get "stolen" just to get a new phone.

Lol. No comment ;D

You can always try the android drivers in my post on how to install adb. Its in the hero dev section. I made that thread because some users were having trouble installing the htc drivers. As usual I'm mobile so I can't link you but you should find it no problem. Hope it helps good luck
Yea it's me again with the

Yes you can revert your phone to stock, don't worry. Just download the RUU from Sprint or HTC's website and run it with your phone plugged in. If you ever can get it to recognize it anyway, lol.

[Q] USB connection not recognized

Hi all,
I have problem with connecting my O2X to laptop.
When I connect phone to laptop phone start to charge, but USB connection is not recognized and no notification on phone (top left corner) is shown.
It was working once, but since then my phone was updated via OTA to V10e and then to V10f yesterday.
My phone is on stock.
I've seen on other forum that people had similar problem but I didn't found any solution.
I've tried different USB cables, different laptop (home and business - on both was working once before), unnistaling drivers and similar.
Please help!!!
Thank You.

I have the same problem and I still don't understand if it is hardware or software related.
In my case the usb sometimes stop working for a certain time, sometime a couple of hour, some time for a full day. After that magically start to work again.
I've tried every in my knowledge but without success.
You are not alone

Using Topogigi 1.6 this exact thing hit me yesterday, I suddenly lost ADB-access (I was programming at the time, and suddenly couldn't upload the app to the phone anymore.) The "bug" top left had vanished, and no toggling of USB-debugging would turn it on again. I tried restoring froyo backups, tried wipe-install, didn't work. What finally solved it was to smartflash back to 10D. Very strange, I cannot find any logical reason for this behaviour, so it can only speculate it must be something illogical, like maybe overheating (wasn't overclocked.)
EDIT: Let me elaborate. When this happened I of course tried another cable, and what was extra weird was that it wouldn't even recognize a USB-connection, but it would charge. Plugging it back in the dock I normally use when programming would show a USB-connection, but no ADB. At first I was worried that perhaps the dock had pushed the pins in the socket too far in for the regular cable to get a connection. After smartflashing back to 10D though, both the dock and cable work as usual. So maybe, just maybe, a hot phone will expand certain areas around the usb-connection points either in the socket or on the motherboard. Again, just speculation. The usb-connection has worked fine since, using any cable.

Happened to me as well. In one day i can't connect my phone to the pc but after two weeks when i connected the o2x to a pc with vista the problem was vanished. I connected to my usual pc and the same it worked. let's hope that i will not have anymore this problem. It is possibility that your phone will revive i one day. good luck.

I think I may have solved this particular mystery, I'm now able to reproduce it at will, and get usb/adb functionality back.
It happens through a combination of ADB crashes/bugs on a computer and a usb-stack crash/error on the phone.
I can reproduce it by plugging in another phone/tablet on the computer (while still having the phone connected), installing/running something from eclipse on the other device, unplug and replug the o2x and then try to run/install something on it via ADB. This invariably leads to the ADB-icon (the status-bar bug-icon) disappearing, *and* it will lead to the phones USB not working on another computer, or even another port on the same computer.
Funny thing is, if I reboot the phone, and plug it back on the same computer, this instantly leads to the same behaviour. USB will only get recognized on the same port it was plugged in the last time, and ADB will still not get activated. Trying to connect to another computer *after* this will not work.
The solution is simply to reboot *both* the phone *and* the computer (or just kill adb I guess) before plugging in anything.
Plugging in the phone while *either* the PC *or* the phone is in this confused state will lead to both devices malfunctioning in the same way as before, which is why you cannot simply connect the phone to another PC. (Although unplugging the phone, rebooting it *before* plugging in to another computer should work.)

Thank You for info.
I just tried it but unfortunately it didn't work for me. I've tried restarting phone couple of times, plugin into different computers but phone still doesn't recognize usb connection (just charging).
I this the problem is in the phone and it maybe due to update to v10e and v10f.

Hm, okay, your problem may be of a different kind. I'm not entirely convinced yet, as you don't mention having rebooted any computer. So just to satisify my curiosity, do exactly these steps in the following order:
1) Unplug the phone from the computer.
2) Power down the computer
3) Power off the phone
4) Turn on your computer
5) Re-install the LG USB drivers
6) Turn on your phone
7) Connect the phone
If this doesn't work then you indeed have a completely different problem, and we're back to speculating.

Trym,
Does that mean you were able to smartflash despite having USB connectivity problems? I had these problems with my first O2X and after I flashed MCR I couldn't connect to USB at all. Luckily this was within the exchange period and I was given a replacement handset which hasn't had these issues but then I am still using stock 2.2
I did try all combinations of reboots on the phone and also driver installs etc on the problematic handset but nothing worked then.

That's exactly what it means, yes. It's never been a hardware problem (luckily)

You may of course have had a genuine hardware fault, after all usb-sockets are among the first things to break on any phone. I thought my phone was a goner as well, until I discovered the things mentioned in my post. It's a really sneaky affair, it would be impossible not to assume the phone is broken the first time you experience it.
EDIT: Removed invalid assumption.

Just to report that I've tried everything, including connecting phone to computer on which my friend runs Nexus S with no problem and then connecting to computer on which my phone was never connected.
Is there easy way to revert to v10d (last version I know my usb connection worked)?
I don't want to experiment too much because this is my business phone.
Maybe I'll just wait for GB and V20e (I hope it will finally be released soon) and hope that this will resolve my problem, but until them I'm missing one of main functionality
What a waist, since I get the phone with all that fuzz about it, is nothing but problem after another: rebooting, battery drain, wifi problem, usb connection... whats next?

Assuming your usb isn't actually broken, yes, it's pretty easy. Download 10D from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
NOTE: The instructions are for flashing baseband only. In addition to that, you also need to select the .bin file in "Ap bin"

Just to report that my USB connection suddenly stared to work again on both of my laptops (home and work).
I didn't do anything after I gave up weeks ago. Before that I've tried everything but with no success.

Weird. Glad you got it working.
Looking around on different LG Forums, as useless as they are, the support-people always gives the advice that you should take out the battery, and leave it out for five minues to "clear residual memory." (This, apparently, is the solution for any kind of problem with the phone ;-)) That's always sounded completely nuts to me, but that's the advice I'm going to give the next guy with usb problems ;-)

And another one bytes the dust.
That's ultra weird. one minute everything is just fine and on the other, USB is dead.
So, apart from the procedure TrymHansen gave us a few post back, there is no known solution/diagnose/whatever for this problem, right?
SmartFlash will not detect phone...

My post from other thread which was closed:
My optimus 2x is not detected when I plug it to my laptop via USB.
Turn on mass storage" in the phone does not appear, it's like I'm just plugging in into a wall charger.
It could connect just a few days before, same laptop, same drivers (LG mobile united drivers)
Have tried it with 3 different laptops, still can't connect (drivers are installed)
A google search reveals other people having the problem as well and unable to solve it.
Can't return it yet for warranty because superuser app is still there.
Originally, I rooted it using superoneclick. Can't unroot it in superoneclick since not detected in USB.
So i unrooted it using z4root (without a pc). It's now unrooted, however superuser app is still in the app drawer.
i believe mine can be detected from smartflash so maybe i can flash stock rom. will doing this remove superuser.apk?

So did you try to flash a stock rom and did solved your usb problem ?
I will try with a modaco rom next we.

ive had the same problem.. when my rom is totally chrashed, and usb is like stuck?
strange is, all the other usb devices (wifi dongle, not keybord mouse) stops working when i plug in my phone? also the phone does not see that there is an data cable in him so i cant mount my storage?
is this an warranty issue?

HTC One Won't show up on computer

First off i want to say hi to everyone and thank everyone for even looking at this thread. I've found some great stuff on this web site but so far nothing has worked for me so i figured i would put up a thread and see what i get back . First off i have an HTC one m7 from sprint. What im trying to do is unlock bootloader root it and sim unlock it. But im am stuck on the first step of my plan. Connecting the HTC one to the computer lol. Htc one has android 4.4.2 running htc sense 5.5. When i plug it in to the computer sometimes i wont get nothing like no noise saying that its plugged in and trying to get drivers. Other times if im lucky i look on my computer and it shows up as a cd drive but when i click on it i get nothing it says insert disc. These is what i have tried so far: htc driver 4.01.001, htc_bmp usb driver x64 1.0.5375, about five usb cables even an actual htc one cable. tried to connect it with other computers, htc sync, different usb port. I think thats everything lol. Oh and also on my ubuntu laptop but it doesn't show up. At this point im pretty disappointing at the device and kinda want to break it lol. I tried using weaksauce to see if it would work for me and it doesn't just crashes. I've seen some great stuff on these forums and i was hoping i could get a hand. I'm on a windows 7 64bit computer.

When i go to device manager nothing shows up with exclamation mark. Yeah it shows usb connected it charges the phone. Sometimes i also get a notification on the phone saying that if the htc sync manager doesn't show up to get it off the website which i have done before with no result.

This may sound crazy, but have you tried using a different USB cable? They tend to get damaged over time, especially at the ends.
Also, what does the windows Device Manager say you've plugged in?

Uninstall everything HTC.
Reboot PC.
Install these drivers
Plug phone in and let the drivers install (drivers will install while booted to OS,recovery,and fastboot)
Still not recognized? (If you are using Windows 8.1 this will most likely not work, unless you hboot is 1.55 or 1.56)
On your PC go to device manager and find your phone(usually M7WLS), right click and select properties
Select the driver tab
Select update driver
Select browse my comp
Let me pick
Look for ADB USB device or similar should be one of the first couple choices
Select MyHTC install and you should be good

After i installed the drivers when i go to device manager the phone is not listed on there. The only evidence that i have when i plug the phone is on the computer it shows up as a cd drive but it doesn't let me edit the driver for it.

Just got a Max m7. ...nothing same USB not recognized...same phone charges fine but nothing registers on the phone as being plugged in. I gotta wonder if this is a 4.4.2 issue?? Any ideas anyone , any solutions (btw all of these previously mentioned phones are bone stock, never rooted, unlocked, or anything...I tried hard reset on both, cleaned the ports , installed brand new port on one, still nothing. Something ain't right here.

Yes, definitely... I have around 15 usb cables, half oem Samsung, the other half oem HTC, and a Blackberry cable...I have been flashing phones to Boost Mobile for the past five years (which is why I keep so many cables) because often for some odd reason cables , for no apparent reason, will work fine on one phone & not the other. Also, that's why I'm confident in saying that based off my experience with so many HTC devices, and never having this issue with any other device except for the HTC One..
That it appears to me to be a issue with Sense 5.5 - 6 4.4.2 HTC android versions. I never had this problem till I started seeing phones doing it that all had that in common(including one of my own m7's that I got when it first came out, hooked it up to a pc countless times(managing the memory ) over the first year I had it...Never had a issue connecting to the pc.Once it was updated to Sense 6 the problem started. Now I'm not saying it happens w/ every device , my other M7 is running 6 and connects just fine...but the other day I got a m7 Max, doing the samething, and running 6...
Of course , I guess it could just be some coincidence... but my educated guess is that it's some error in the Sense 6 that can occur randomly.

[Q] Mac, Windows, Ubuntu Won't Recognize Phone

After having this phone for a little over a year, I have finally decided to enjoy the world of root once again. The only probably is that I have been banging my head against the wall all day trying to figure out why none of my computers will recognize my phone when it is connected.
I am 100% stock right now.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

I hate to be that guy, but I'm going to be that guy. I tried installing the drivers on a Win7 machine, even did a factory reset on the phone. I have tried using multiple cables, but still am not having any luck.
Has anyone else had this problem and been able to resolve it? I am tempted to go to Sprint and see if they will replace it and try my luck with getting one that hasn't been updated yet.

I've never experienced this, but I've heard that some cables can only handle charging the phone but not doing data transfers between the phone and the PC. Is the phone getting charged when connected to the computer? Also, is the phone getting charged normally (via outlet/AC)?
It might be that the phone's faulty - in that case just factory reset your phone, make sure it's S-ON, unrooted, on stock ROM, completely wiped etc, and take it back to Sprint.
I'd suggest towelroot to root your phone easily without a computer, but since the newer HTC phones have /system write-protected, it won't work. Give it a try though anyways - it won't affect anything.

It charges when connected to the computer, but when I connected it to my Car Dock this morning it told me that it couldn't charge it. This was using the HTC Card Dock specific for my HTC One.
I'll be taking this in to the Sprint Store to see if they will order me a replacement, or can show me where I am going wrong.

Yeah then I'm almost positive it's your HTC One that has a problem.

I had the same problem with my HTC. I took it into Sprint, it ended up being an issue with my phone. They replaced it and problem solved

Cannot get USB MTP to work on T-Mobile SM-G781U

Hi, I really hate to make a new thread, but I just cannot get this darn thing to connect to my PC. I had a G900A (S5) for over 4 years, rooted w/custom rom. I had/have a G935F rooted with SMan custom rom on Android 8. They both work fine (well S5 died a bit ago...LOL). I downloaded the newest Samsung USB driver, which installed fine and the G935F still works. I tried it both on my W7 Pro desktop and W10 Home laptop.
But this damn S20 will absolutely not connect (using same cables on both, except of course the S20 uses USB-C). This THING is on Android 11 (sucks to holy hell). I enabled the Developers Option and enabled USB Debugging and then changed the USB Default config from Charge Only to "Transferring files" and still NOTHING (of course I can say that it Does charge).
I have looked Everywhere. Called useless T-Mobile and they did not know. I got it on Friday and going to the store Monday. Can anyone solve this and save me a trip or do you think something is wrong with the hardware (it's brand new out of the box)?
THANKS!

does windows recognise that a phone is plugged in or not. use the original cable if you're not and swap which USB ports you try on the PC/laptop.
there is supposed to be an issue where MTP screws up large file transfers but it still recognises the phone.

Was it v1.7.43 and did you remove 'any' old driver versions before installing -
- https://developer.samsung.com/mobile/android-usb-driver.html
And when plugging in the phone for the first time you may have gotten a prompt to allow access, if different/more annoying under Android 11 afaik.
And on a different but Android 11 front, can I ask what bits sucked or were different to 10 for you on this device?

Hey, did you mean to quote without replying..?

Hi, I said I installed the newest (that is the version) and did it before I even got the phone and my 935F worked fine. But no, I did not uninstall the old one. It knew it was there and it did it. I have updated the driver the same way in the past and both the 900A and 935F always worked.
Also I think I said what versions I had on both phones, which were android 4 + 5 on the 900A and 7 + 8 on the 935F.
It NEVER asked me Anything Anytime I plugged it in.
I could actually live with this phone (made so cheap, by the way), if I could just get into it and complete putting my files on it. Also THIS phone is draining battery a bit Because I can't root it to get rid of whatever bloatware crap is on it (any suggestions on that?).
Plus I don't like all the crazy crap it displays and does. ALSO, CAN THEY KEEP MAKING THE CLEAR BUTTON EVEN SMALLER???
Attached is a pic of my beloved S5 BEFORE GOOGLEY SCREWED UP ANDROID, THAT THEY CREATED TO BEGIN WITH...Grrrrrrrrrrr...THOSE WERE THE GOOD OLE DAYS OF REAL ANDROID...LOL.
Thanks anyway for the reply!
PS, sorry I been away from the forum for a while. Things are a bit different now! Sorry, b1k3rdude!

Hi, I did try the same "extension" cables and ports that I used for the 935F, but I had a USB-C laying around for my bluetooth and used that and never thought to use the original cable that came with the box (still in the box). It Never recognized the phone ever. I will try that...If it works I am going to bang my head against the wall because I spent hours trying it and researching it and even uploaded certain files to my google drive just to get them to the new phone (I Was Determined)!!!
I will try it and edit this with the results. Thanks!!!
Son of a B*tch, that worked! The cable that came with the BT did not work, but the original one did right away. I did not know that it installs separate drivers for different phones! It installed all the drivers and the phone asked for permission and Voila! Even worked with my old USB extension cable. I never would have thought of that.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! See, when I got up I went to look to see if anyone answered before I even took my pills and etc...Now back to all the disastrous news. I am a H Andrew "victim" and feel bad for the people of LA, and of course what happened in Afghanistan. So off to the News...
Also may I ask what is so special about the cable that came with the phone as opposed to the one I used from my BT??? Thanks!

So on another note, any tips on how to get around all the crap of UNROOTED Android 11?
Also, do any of these rooting threads really work on this US version of the phone? For sure this darn BL is locked. I did find a procedure to tell. A bit complicated (for me), but now that I can get into the phone, I can surely try.
Also I miss my Viper for great sound. Anyone know how to replace it with something if I can't get this rooted? AND WHERE THE HELL IS THE HEADPHONE JACK??? LOL. Plus, do you know how long it took me to figure out how to just get a screenshot on this THING??? JEEZ!
We switched to T-Mobile from ATT and this phone cost me Only $99 over 24 months + $49 tax, while the other 3 on the family plan got their usual rotten apple (I-12's) for free plus tax. I Refuse to get one, but I am an old time programmer and can't see my way to a rotten apple...yet...LOL
Thanks, Sam in FL
Also, I must say that this 5G here actually works in spots (not in my condo though). I got over 500 Down and 49 Up near me, then got depressed when it did not do that in my condo, but I got wifi anyway and who really needs that much down anyway???

Samsung's cables designed for data transfer and flashing are not the same as off the shelf data transfer cables (unless it's made by a decent manufacturer like Anker).
for getting rid of the crap apps, look up ADB debloat threads for Samsung phones, the newer the better, one close enough like S20 or S21 will do.

There are some S20FE specific ones in this S20FE section.
