Help! Active sync will not work

My pc says my connection settings in my phone need to be changed. I don't remember changing anything and I don't know what to change them to.
My phone tells (after a failed connectoin) me there is a connection error and opens MEdia net settings. I don't know what that would have to do with anything. I know I haven't changed them. There is no need. When this problem came up I tried changing some things, they didn't work, so I put them back. This is the same PC I always connect the phone to. I don't know what has changed other than i was gone for a month for work.
I need help please.
the last flash was Energy ROM 20090801 standard

Have you played with your USB to PC settings, untick\tick "Enable Faster Data"
If not, delete your sync relationship and establish a new one.

Yeah, I did both of those already. the only thing I can think to do is push the little button call "Wipe Device". then flash a new rom. I'm worried I will not be able to flash after that though.
I'm scared

Something is messed up... Sounds like a hard reset or a reflash is in order.....

Do you get the connection option screen when you plug it in to USB that says connect as:Active Sync, Modem or hard drive?

Usb Problem
From what i have seen, it can be the usb wire

Could be true. My usb wire at my studio is bad and I always have to curve it to make it work.

I might be mistaken, but I think I got a similar message a while back. I changed the setting in File->Connection Settings-> This computer is connected to: The Internet
And that did the trick for me...

Rooted - What to do and what NOT to do?

okay I just rooted my phone since everyone here told me to. I only did it so I can fix this Skype problem so I didn't have to factory reset.
What exactly can I do now that it is rooted with my LG optimus 3d.
Also I was told there are things you cannot do.
- You can't factory reset or it will brick your phone.
- You have to use usb debugging everytime you plug the phone into your computer.
- You have to have usb mass storage off always when plugging into your computer.

can you explain in more detail.
because when usb debugging is enabled with the phone plugged in there is no way to get anything on or off my phone.
I cannot take the pictures off my phone, I cannot drag music onto the phone, etc.

Not true, when you plug your phone to your computer depending on the ROM it will either automatically enable USB mass storage, or bring up a screen on the phone allowing you to put it in USB mass storage mode. Either way, your phone will still function the same (unless using ICS).

I haven't come across a ROM that doesn't let you use mass storage unless that feature is broken on it.
USB Mass Storage should be perfectly usable for you. Especially if you're still running stock.

USB mass storage doesn't automatically turn on when the phone is plugged in, so nothing shows up. I have to manually turn it on.
if usb debugging is not enabled when I plug my phone in will anything screw up?
and what else can I do now?
I have superuser and I fixed my skype problem.

No it won't mess it up if you plug it in with debugging disabled. Probably the most important thing for you to do now is flash a custom recovery, make a nandroid back up and if you want, flash a custom ROM.

That will point you in the right direction to get CWM recovery. The dev forum is not the easiest to navigate. To make a nandroid backup, just go into recovery and select "backup and restore" and then "backup". I can't comment on the ROM's because I don' have that phone.

Download ROM manager from the market. You can backup your existing ROM, install custom ROM's. There is a free version which I used for a while, but wanted to support the developers so I went ahead and got the premium version.
I would also highly recommend Titanium Backup. You can backup wifi settings, sms, mms, apps, etc.

yeah I downloaded ROM manager and I also have the same problem it only shows the 1 version, not my phone listed.
I looked in the thread you linked me... v.4.8.0.7 is a premium version. I found a link on google to download it but it's from my mediafire, I don't know if that's safe it could be infected.
apparently v.4.8.0.7 is the only version that has my phone model.
is there a safe site to download an old version? maybe there is a v.4.8.0.7 that isn't premium.

can I assume it's safe? It's an old premium version so...

Have you tried any root apps? I have recently rooted and finding some of them really worth the trouble of going through the rooting process

you guys really should elaborate a little bit more, or atleast point in the right direction....
1) you can do a factory reset all you want. it's just going to put the phone back into its stock condition. there really isn't a point in doing it though, so don't bother
2) usb debugging mode is only needed if you want to interface with your phone in a certain fashion. read up on ADB. if the ONLY thing you want to do is be able to get pictures from your phone, or put music on it or whatever, you do not need usb debugging mode enabled.
3) again, you can mount your phone as usb storage all you want. it isn't going to hurt anything. the ONLY reason you would NOT want your phone in this mode is when you are doing stuff with #2.
and to be quite honest, before you do ANYTHING with your phone like this again, do your research. i researched for a week before I rooted my phone. i already knew why debugging mode needed to be enabled and when/why i would want my phone in either storage or charge only modes. learn what you can from your specific phones section as taking info from a different phones section and applying it to yours can seriously mess you up. like brick your device kind of mess you up.
here are a few links to get you started:
LG Optimus 3D forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1073
(I noticed that it doesn't have a Q&A section. Ask questions in the GENERAL section, NOT the Development forum)
A VERY general overview of what ADB is and what it can do:
http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=ADB
And if you don't know something, or feel like "winging it" when it comes to altering your phone in any way, stop, don't do it, research and ask questions. Trust me you'd rather be the annoying guy asking the right questions than the idiot that says "HALP! I FUX0r3d my phone!" because you didnt know exactly what you are doing.
ALSO: if the ONLY reason you rooted your phone was to fix this Skype issue, and it has been fixed, you don't really NEED to go any farther. You accomplished your goal. That being said, with a rooted phone the possibilities are pretty much endless. The Devs do awesome work
EDIT!!!!
Here is a link to the actual ROM Manager website. At the top of the page it says "ROM Manager APK" download and install that to your phone.
http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Alternatively, here is the link to the FREE version of ROM Manager on the Market:

Hope I helped.

I have optimus 3D and when you connect to pc via usb you should see a message on phone saying to press its button to enable usb storage.
Press the button on screen and it will then enter usb storage mode.

Uh oh I do all three of those things probably on a daily basis....
Nandroid backup is your best friend. Get used to using it first and foremost. It's a total snapshot of your system. Once you get used to backing up and restoring a few times, and see how great it works, you'll gain a lot of confidence in trying out custom ROMs, which is where a lot of the fun begins.
It is so easy to take a backup, flash a custom ROM, get your email, calendar, phone, etc etc up and working on it quickly, play around with the settings, then take a nandroid backup of THAT (so you can come back to it and continue playing with it where you left off) and restore your "original" system -- it will be exactly as you left it. You can almost think of it as putting down one device and picking up another... the only limitation being you can only "hold" one at a time.
You can essentially live on 2 or 3 different ROMs at once. I generally have my go-to CM7 ROM which is my daily driver, but I've flashed a few different ROMs to check them out, including some pretty stable looking ICS ROMs.
Titanium Backup is helpful in this regard if you have certain apps and user data you want to bring over to a new ROM you're trying out. I've found doing a whole hog TB restore to a new ROM to be too much at once, and restoring system settings from one ROM onto a completely different ROM is often a square peg/round hole situation.
Lurk around on the relevant forums too and you will learn a lot of things you can try!
Oh as for what not to do - first and foremost DON'T PANIC! Anything goes wrong there is a lot of help available but it might take a little time to work out...
Second I agree with the above posters who say don't do something you don't understand. Read and research first, ask questions.
Third, if you really, really rely upon your device for your livelihood, or you mortgaged your house to purchase it, etc etc, don't mess with it. If you can't afford to be down half a day or two days if you messed something up and it might take a while to fix, go buy a cheap android device somewhere for just fooling around with.

this is really fantastic advice. this forum (along with others) is an amazing resource, and it's really because of the help you can get from really knowledgeable AND unpretentious people. for someone who is new to root/android like me, it has proven to be invaluable. whatever you mess up, you can probably get fixed. just don't be too hasty or too careful. i came to android from a work-paid-for BB9630 (tour) i did all kinds of crazy stuff to that phone without fear b/c i knew if i bricked, my company would just give me another one no questions asked .. but i recently bought an evo (for personal use) when i switched jobs, and i wanted to root it and mod it immediately..but... i was a total noob to the process with android AND (just as importantly) i COULD NOT just break my phone and get another like it was nothing. so i read and read and read and asked a bunch of questions on various forums. then one day, like a little kid about to jump off the high-dive for the first time, i rooted and flashed a custom rom. pretty scary that first time, but now i flash a new rom a couple times a week. i have learned so much and am now rooted and enjoying all the things that come with that (except for going to bed later.) don't panic...great advice. i love it.

I have factory reset my phone 3 times while rooted. I didn't think much of it. I have a dinc 2, mabey it depends what phone you have.

I know you can factory reset from recovery but you need to flash a ROM? And your not supposed to factory reset from your phone settings cause it might mess up your phone?
I put them as questions cause I'm not sure.

Noticed you guys didn't have a support channel 24/7 in case people have issues with their device. I've set this up and granted I can't stay awake 24/7 I would like to see this community more involved. The more support you have for the community the more support for the phone So come in, chat, ask questions, its all up to you!

Thank you for this !

This is a good idea.
I tried to connect last night through the device, but it wasn't working out too well.
Is there a recommended way to connect through the phone? Maybe an app that works through the T-Mo network?
Also - Since this has the potential to let people work things out much more quicly/easily... Can I request that if problems get solved or new information is discovered and there are no threads about it, can one be made after the fact?
Anyone who wasn't in the irc chatroom won't have access to that fix otherwise.

On a quick search, that's the only one with SASL support, which is where my problem was. When I get the chance to get market apps again it's on my buy list.
I tried to log in through the web page, but on the mobile it was no good on mobile network - I imagine it would be fine on the device through wifi and i'll try sometime. I have no trouble logging in through the webpage on a computer on a wifi network.
The last time I used IRC, mIRC was pretty new, so was my first brush with it over cellular networks. If you had no issues using that app then that'll probably be my answer for out and about.

hboot and recovery
I had my phone rooted for months (I think I did it properly using the method from unLocker.com, although when the hboot would load it would say no image found) Then all I would do is run recovery (clockwork I believe) to flash new ROMs... but now I am trying to upgrade to pyr-o-ice 1.1.3 from 1.1.2 and everytime I try to run recovery, it just brings me back to the hBoot. I think I messed things up when I downloaded the Clockwork app from the market and let it do it's "thing". I think it changed my hboot from 1.44.00something to 1.44.1107 (that may be the problem). I have been trying for hours to re-root using the method from unlocker but it is not working. Can anyone help me get recovery working again to flash new ROMs? p.s. Sorry if a solution is already given somewhere, I have looked for a while and haven't found it.

What's your exact HBOOT version number?

my hboot is 1.44.1107

oh wow! I just tried using the using the clockworkmod ROM manager app from the market and it actually worked this time to flash pyr-o-ice 1.1.3_2. I don't know why it didn't work the several times that I tried this before. I guess I will just use this app to go into recovery and flash ROM in the future (kind of better anyways because I don't need to do a battery pull now everytime to go into hboot) apparently this app works to flash stuff. I haven't yet tried to go into Recovery the old way and I guess I don't need to worry about it any more.

It's not necessary to do a battery pull to get into recovery...
...power off (not hibernate, turn that fastboot off in settings!) and wait for it to turn completely off.
...hold the 'Volume Down' button, and then press and release the 'Power' button (maybe 2 or 3 times if necessary while holding volume down...)
When you see the Hboot screen release volume down...
Let it load and settle for a minute, then choose 'recovery' from the menu...
...and that's it.
Not sure where you had to do a battery pull, unless you didn't have 'fastboot' turned off from in the ROM settings menu?
Go to your app drawer, then open the 'Settings' apk...
...find 'Power' in the list and tap it...
...scroll to the bottom and un-check the 'Fastboot' option.
The 'Fastboot' option in the settings -> power menu is a deep-sleep hibernation mode that turns almost everything off, but leaves the tiniest bit of power to one chip so it can wake everything up.
When it's ' off ' in HTC Fastboot mode, pressing the power button wakes the device up skipping a lot of things like hboot and so on to get your device from ' off ' to working in just a few seconds, instead of the minutes a normal boot takes.
Anyways, glad you found a way to get it all working!

That is probably why I would have to do a battery pull (fastboot was never turned off to my knowledge). One problem though... I still can't find the option "power" in the settings menu to actually turn off fastboot. I am running pyr-o-ice 1.1.3_2 right now (that I was able to flash using the ROM Manager app made by Clockworkmod) When I select Settings; it brings me into a series listed as the following:
WIRELESS & NETWORKS... Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Data Usage, More DEVICE... Sound, Display, Storage, Battery, Apps
EXTRA SETTINGS... Toggles, Clock, Battery Text, Custom carrier label
PERSONAL... Accounts and sync, Location services, Security, Language & input, Backup & reset
SYSTEM... Date & time, Accessibility, Developer options, About phone.
I couldn't find the fastboot setting anywhere in these. Also, I think something is wrong with the Recovery that I was using before ever since my Hboot changed to the 1.44.1107 it is now, because when I am in hboot and try to go into Recovery, it just loops back to Hboot. Luckily that ROM Manager App was able to flash the ROM (pyr-o-ice 1.1.3_2) but I don't know if I would recommend that to anyone else to use as I think when I installed ROM Manager and ran some of it's features, that it probably what changed my HBoot version (and subsequently messed up my ability to use recovery straight from hboot). I guess I am OK though since I can at least flash ROMs, but I am limited from some of the other features the old recovery had to offer.

OK! So, so, sorry... I just went and did a power down and tried to go into hboot (volume down and power buttons) w/out battery pull and it DID go into hboot. I guess fastboot is turned off (even I couldn't find it anywhere in settings still). Sorry for confusing anybody (I'm a little confused myself) And now when I chose RECOVERY, it did work fine ( I have no idea what happened). I guess I just always assumed I needed to do a battery pull since that is what I had to do way back when I first rooted my phone and started flashing ROMs.
I still can't really get my USB to recognize on my computer though with this pyr-o-ice desense 1.1.3_2 (I got the Dual Mount SD app from the market but am having "weirdness"... when I plug in the USB to the phone and PC, I hear the "bloop bloop" sound but no icon pops up in the "devices with removable storage" catagory of my computer. I can only get it to recognize as a drive by selecting the "Power On Auto Mount" feature in Dual Mount SD app and then doing a power off and back on w/ the phone plugged in the whole time via USB to PC... and then that is even hit or miss. sometimes it comes up as a drive and sometimes it doesn't.) I would really, really love to get my phone to recognized as a drive just by plugging it in w/out having to do a power off and back on since I love taking pictures with the phone and getting them to PC asap. If anyone knows any tricks to help me out that would be super cool. And P.S.: sorry I'm such a noob, I am trying really hard and am a bit intimidated by complete lack of knowledge about most of this stuff.

[Q] USB Connection Problem [ROM][JellyBean][4.2.1]Unofficial CM10.1 - 12/29

Hi all,
First of all thanks scott for an awesome JB build for Infuse. Everything works great, except that, the battery icon doesn't show the phone's charging when in fact it is charging. Also, when I connect the phone to the PC with the USB cord, it doesn't get recognized as a mass storage or even an MTP device. I don't even see any settings related to this in the system settings. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have no problems with the battery icon - perhaps you need to flash again? As for the USB issue, you should have the option to mount the phone in mass storage when you connect to the computer. The option shows up in the notification menu. Click that and then you should know what to do.

If I were you, I'd do a full wipe and flash. When you flash, or rather before you flash, make sure to format system. That seems to get rid of a lot of gremlins! It's not the build at any rate, it's something to do with your setup.

That is my problem too, now i want to update other ROM but i don't know how to copy file to my Tablet. Could you help me how to do it.

Here are a couple of options.
1) Download the ROM directly to your phone through the browser.
2) Send the file to your phone over wifi using WiFi File Transfer Pro, AirDroid, or ES File Explorer. There are a number of other options in the Play Store but these are the three I've used before.
3) Pop out the external SD card and connect it to your computer to grab the file.
4) Transfer directly from your computer via Bluetooth.
I'm sure there are other ways too but these are the ones that come to mind.
Good luck.

EDIT: Just realized I replied to a month-old post.

Pc will not recognize phone, tried everything I can think of.

Hello and good morning. I recently began the process to backup my phone storage on my pc, and after enabling developer mode and then subsequently enabling usb debugging, I connect my phone to the pc without seeing any options for mft transfer or anything. It simply will not be recognized. Have the latest SDK and HTC sync software installed, but neither of them detect the device. I tried restarting, disabling and re enabling usb debugging etc, all to no avail. I manually installed drivers, uninstalled HTC sync and none of that worked.
Then read that sometimes it helps to restart the phone by holding down the power button for 10 seconds. This is to simulate a battery pull since you can't actually do that with the one X+.
This was strange; When I did that, the three 'buttons' would flash and the text would show "device will restart if you hold down the power button for 3, 2, 1 seconds.." but just stops there and won't restart, with the dialogue still displayed and the lights flashing. I let go of the power button and the dialogue goes away but the device won't restart unless I do it through normal means, still not fixing the issue.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Try uninstalling HTC Sync.
After uninstalling Sync, connect the device and check in Device Manager if it is present. If yes, then uninstall it's drivers from there.
Now, reconnect it. Windows will show new device and find drivers for it. It should work now.
Sometimes, the USB drivers can act funny.

I've uninstalled the sync manager and then reinstalled the standalone drivers and still get nothing. I think it's an issue with the phone itself. I just recently enabled the developer options to enable usb debugging, and it's only been since that happened that I can't connect to it. I've done just about everythi g when it came to enabling disabling debugging (the only dev option I touched) restarting etc and thus far I'm not getting anything. I'm thinking I may just have to hard reset the device unless anyone can come up with anything. Anyone recommend a really good backup option since I'm not rooted and I can't connect it to my pc?

@JawshBawx, if you were rooted I'd definitely have you use Titanium Backup, but seeing how it requires root and you aren't rooted, it won't work for you.
In fact, come to think of it, all of the non-PC backup methods require root!
Does your device have an SD card slot?

Haha. No it's an HTC One X plus. Next phone will have an sd lol. I actually found all this out because I was trying to start the root process! Can't do that without connecting to my pc or without having an sd card [emoji14]

Oh, lol. :silly:
Looks like you're just a little bit screwed - and by "a little bit screwed" I mean you're going to have to factory reset your One X+ without backing it up.

Do you know anyone else in this forum who might have some ideas here? Someone has to know something that can help some part of this situation haha. I might just have to dropbox everything and then move that info to my pc.. a long manual backup.. fun! But if anyone else has an idea concerning the original issue.. I'd be a happy camper.

Actually, there are two threads in which you can post your question and expect at least a half-decent answer: [Help Thread] Ask ANY Question. Noob Friendly. and [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly].
Sorry I couldn't be more of a help!

Thank you for the links and thank you for responding! That's help in and of itself.
