My original Sensation broke due to the USB port and it not being able to charge.
I have my replacement, I'm rooted and everything, now a new problem arises.
When connected to computer, I don't get a prompt nor does it recognize that it is connected to a computer; however, it does charge. I have no option to mount as disk drive, etc.
What's the problem?
This happened before I flashed a new Rom, but I managed to flash ARHD 6.2.1 through other means. I thought it would fix it, but nothing.
EDIT: Could it be the computer? I will try on my coworkers computer, although it was working on mine before this process.
I think it is just a hardware fault again, but you can check usb debugging, check if you have any setting as default by fault. wich will end the notfy.

I tried it on a coworkers computer, and it detected that a computer was connected. I'm not sure what happened on mine, but no such detection after rooting and etc.

something similar to this happened to my Sensation just out of the blue. I tried different cables but nothing worked, it would just charge but not mount. I eventually figured out it was my laptop and simply rebooted it and everything worked just fine, hope this works for you!
It's all good now. At first I thought it was a problem with the Senny.
However, I ran device manager on the computer, and then re-booted. All is well now. Thanks.

After unrooting my phone to take to Verizon for some repairs, I can't connect my phone to a computer. I haven't connected my phone to a computer since I rooted back in March. And you don't need to connect to unroot.
I read somewhere that upgrading the radio will fix it but I'm not rooted so I can't. All I want to do is root again and I cannot. My mac doesn't see with osx or bootcamp, it and neither does my Windows 7 desktop. It's not that it's unrecognized, my computers just can't find it.
Is there some fix that I'm just not finding? Or is my USB port fried? I've tried another cable as well.
I can still charge so idk. I'm at a loss.
I had something similar happen to me the other day. I upgraded the hard drive on my netbook & then did a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate x64. upon getting it up & running, I plugged in my phone and it just said "USB device not recognized".
Seeing as how I ocassionally do wired tethering with PDAnet, I loaded PDAnet on to the netbook & then it specified to disconnect my phone & asked what manufacturer phone I have. I selected "HTC", it installed HTC drivers, then asked me to plugmy phone back in(with USB debugging on), then it said it was installing my phone and everything went smooth from there.
Right, but I don't even get "Unknown Device" or "Device not recognized". Absolutely nothing happens.
My phone will charge but neither device talks to each other.
you ate sure igs a USB 2.0/3.0 and not a 1.0 jack?
czn you trhy on someone elses pc?
normally wjen a USB jack goes out that's it.

that *might* work.. if your PC is a store bought system, you'd just go to the manufacturers website and download the drivers from the 'downloads/support' page, then uninstall from device manager, reboot, re-install(and possibly reboot again).
if it's a custom PC, you'd goto the motherboard manufacturers page & do the same thing. if you don't know the make/model of the motherboard, it will also tell you in device manager(or just remove the side of the case and look at the motherboard itself, it'll be labelled somewhere near the cpu).

If by loading Hboot you mean loading the bootloader and trying every single option (even Hboot USB), then yes.

I can't even get the computers to recognize that I need a driver or that I have a device connected.
not sure if you've tried another USB cable or not, but if you have and it's still doing the same thing then it has to be a hardware related issue. possibly something wrong with the USB connection on your phone.
Awhile back, mine was doing something weird where when i'd plug it in to charge it and it kept showing that it was constantly charging, then not charging... I thought "what the hell!?".. I ended up trying canned air and it helped a little.. but started up again. I finally used some 'electrical parts cleaner' on it and ever since it's been functioning normally again.

well, in the time I've had my TBolt, I've tried out every radio & countless rom/kernal variations. I have never had an issue connecting to PC on any radio so I doubt the radio has anything to do with your issue.
You have already attempted everything else though(a side from the cleaning) so i'd wonder if there's some sort of issue with the software on your phone.
I have had this exact problem.. have tried different PC's, different cords, different usb ports...I have tried to mount under CWM also. Computers don't give any indication that there is anything hooked into them....the phone does charge however. I have reinstalled the ROM (using CM7.1.1) I have intalled previous backups which had no problems linking to my PC. I have not tried to clean the charging port..will give that a go...I feel I will have to by a card reader for my pc to read the microSD. worked fine for 6 months, but then just quit. Posted this problem on android central...but no one could figure out a solution, thought someone here might have....last post on my AC thread from someone with same problem was told by verizon/htc to send it back for replacement...don't want to but might have to do this...love to have a brilliant idea before I do though! Can't post the link to the AC thread as I am a new registered user here..been trolling all year...but you can find it under the Thunderbolt Rooting. ROM's and Hacks area.....
I'm pretty sure no one has a solution to our problem. I've taken compressed air and cleaned everything and still no luck. It's just a question of how much they'll charge me for it.
So I got an incident with my phone, if you wanna now about it, its at my sig, but the thing is that I dunno why or how, sometimes my computer does recognizes my phone and display the Turn on USB storage option at the notification bar, but each time I try to turn it on it just wont work. Attached is a logcat whenI try to enable it, maybe someone could tell me why it wont work.

Normally I got two nandroids a GB based one and an ICS based one, right now Im using both Eagle's Blood 2.3.7 v2.8 and ICS 4.0.3 Build 1. But I had this problem since... always. I'm a flashaholic so i have tested actually every rom from stock 2.2.2 to beta 4.0.3... I even have a nandroid of my original ROM (the one that came with it when y bought it and rooted it) and not even there works. The only clue i have right now is that only if I disable USB debugging it will randomly connect.
This may sound dumb but have you tried a different usb cable? I had the same problem and tried my girls and my phone was able to connect each and every time. another thing I noticed with my phone is that it sometimes won't connect using windows 7...xp no problem but 7 it plays hard to get.

Did you ever figure this out? Sounds like your having the same problem that i am.
I've tried at least 6 different cables, home PC, work PC, laptop and a co-worker's PC that didn't have anything vmware installed (had a hunch that vmware usb drivers were the cause). Oh, all the computers were win7x64.
I've only rooted my phone and upgraded to 2.3.3 so nothing crazy going on there and it's worked for months since i did both of those.
I have a feeling that this may have been a recent windows update, but no clue when or which one because i haven't really cared that it didn't work. If i had to guess i'd say mine stopped working about 3 months ago... again, hard to remember.

Make sure usb debugging is turned off.
Plug in the phone, enable usb storage.
Right click on the phone drives in the explorer and click on eject.
Turn off usb storage.
Unplug and plug in again.
Enable usb storage.
Drives should work now.
This did it for me. Since then if I remember to eject before unplug I haven't seen any issues.

Curious though, when yours was having problems, did windows detect anything? For instance, when I plugged mine into my co-workers pc there are zero pop ups about new hardware detected.

I had the same problem. Dirt in the mini-USB port can cause that problem.
Take a can of compressed air and blow it into the mini-USB port (blowing with your mouth isn't enough). Also, take a close look at the port with a magnifying glass and look for any dirt or discoloration in there.
Do the same with your cable.

Hi, this problem occur to me after I've installed RemICS 1.3.2 ROM (CM9 based), I did follow the installation steps from beginning, when the problem occur, I did re-flash the same ROM several times, but this problem still unsolved.
I did try all recommendations (blow out dirt, disable usb debugging etc) but still not success.
This ROM should able to detect USB when phone connected with PC, but somehow I don't know why. Any experts recommendation?

Ok, I just found the problem. I can hear now the tone of PC detected USB when plugged-in, and I update the driver. then Voila!!

Hey, just thought I'd register an account because I stumbled upon this thread because I had the same issue verbatim and I managed to get it working.
I ended up using the USB 3.0 ports on my desktop and suddenly it picks up my g2x without fail everytime. With that said, I'm lead to believe that perhaps its an issue of power. Maybe the USB 2.0 ports you're using simply aren't providing enough power. Not sure what its worth or if my issue was something unrelated but maybe that bit of information is something to work with. =)
Found another solution that fixed the problem for me.
If you are using Windows XP, log on as an Administrator and open Device Manager
Select View > Show Hidden Devices
Scroll down to Storage Volumes, and expand
Right-click on each entry and select Update Driver.

USB not working
When I try to connect to the computer to transfer music or whatever to the Infuse it won't let me. I plug in the data cable click mass storage, click connect USB I get "do you want to scan and fix". If I click scan and fix I get "check disk options". Any combination of the check boxes will make the phone disappear and starts the scanning process, like I had disconnected it. I'm running Zeus 6 w/ICS theme for build 6. Is there any special way these disks should be formatted? Any help would be appreciated.
Wow! Nothing?
Now when I plug in to the computer it doesn't even recognize the phone. It's like I never plugged it in. The phone will still asks kies/media/mass storage. I click mass storage then click connect to PC then nothing. It's almost to the point of going out on the deck and teach this phone how to fly.

I've had my nexus for a while, soon to be going on a year and I haven't been able to mount it to my computer for, I'd say like 4-5 months? It randomly just stopped working one day. It'll still charge when I plug my phone in. I've checked NStools and fastcharge is unchecked. I've cleaned the port a couple times. I still can't figure out why it won't mount. I don't think it'd be a hardware problem either because it still charges. I'm rooted and my bootloader is unlocked, I've also tried tons of different roms to see if that was the problem. It won't even mount through recovery, but like sometime last month it randomly mounted one time and It never did after that. I've spent countless hours on google trying to figure it out. Can someone PLEASE help me?
go into phone and dial *#*#8778#*#* and check if UART is modem, and USB is PDA.
If it's not, that's your problem.
If that doesn't work, flash a different kernel
UART is "PDA" but whenever I select "Modem" it changes back after I hit the back button.
I also tried two different kernels. Franco and Matr1x.
maybe you have encryted your phone?

Uninstall all of your Windows 7 USB drivers. Reboot computer, and connect Nexus S using USB. I find it best to connect through CWM recovery, by mounting your USB storage. Let your computer install the drivers, and then enjoy! It should be perfectly functional after that.
It's only Windows 7 that it does that on. I've tried computers with Windows XP before too, and my school Macs.
Try this:

That happened once to me, then I realized I was using an "only charge" USB cable from a car kit I bought. Using the original cable fixed the problem.

Yes I do, I've unchecked it and checked it and my phone still wont connect to my laptop.

This may be a gigantic derp, but make sure you're using a data/sync cable and not just a "charge" cable. Even if you don't have USB debugging enabled, your PC will recognize your phone when you connect it - unless it just can't see the connection at all, and that can pretty much only be because of the cable.
Try rebooting the phone with the phone connected. There have been times with my previous phones where Windows couldn't recognize the phone because of driver issues and that seemed to allow Windows to recognize it easier.

When you connect you phone to your computer dose it start charging?
also open up the windows Device Manager and look for anything about an unrecognized device.
and one last thought for now have you loaded drivers for other phones? sometimes that will mess with loading drivers for new phones
