Problem with connecting my phone to my PC in USB/Harddisk mode (only in some ROMs)

Hi out there.
Like mentioned in some threads in dev section i have problem in some ROMs with connecting my phone to my PC in USB/Harddisk mode (but only in some).
When i get connected i see the window where i can choose the mode but when i use USB/Harddisk mode the sdcard is going to be unmounted and nothing happens.
I can see drive letter in my PC but i can't get access.
USB-Debugging is on in every Rom.
The Roms i get no problem:
- All Virtuous Unity Roms
- Shipped Pre-rooted Desire S stock by Adidas108
- RCMix3d 3.5 S v1.2 [Stock & OC Kernel] by proxuser
The Roms where i have the problem:
- VoidU
- All OTA Roms by proxuser, michaelm007
- Hyperion/Endymion
So cause it works sometimes i don't think its a hardware defect.
Maybe it is driver related?
I have installed various HTC Sync versions, AlpharevX fastboot drivers, uninstalled, reinstalled... no changes.
So what drivers do you use?
Other ideas?
Interesting for example michaelm007's Untouched Saga don't work and Pre-rooted stock by Adidas108 works.

I think i have the same problem. Windows 7 just saying unrecognized device. With some roms my phone only charge and with some roms it pop up that is connected to PC and what type of connection i want.

I have no problems with usb connecions
Try to download the lastest htc drivers,
And anyway,there is a program,named Android commando(or something like this,i don t remenber very well)where you can open your phone on the pc also in charging mode,like adb.
With this you can open the android system,so system,data etc.. and the sd card
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA Premium App

cant find the program.

USB Doesn't work

I have the mobile in s-off and with root permissions, MIUI had installed 2.2.17, and had no problem to connect the mobile to the PC and the mobile ask me if I want to connect as mass storage or just load. Until a few days left to ask me ... Mac thought it would be and the same probe in windows, restart the phone and nothing. I tried to install another ROM the CyanogenMod 7.1 and the problem continued. Now I'm back to the latest version of MIUI I think it's 24 and still have problems. I tried to format the microSD card from android and pc / mac but nothing. To say that from a file browser in android if I see all the files correctly.
I tried installing a version prerooted but the problem continues.

Have you installed the required drivers for your phone? Just install HTC Sync and it will do that for you automatically.
(At least for Windows - I don't have a Mac so i can't comment on that)

I tried with HTC Sync and nothing. I changed the kernel version of a saga tiamat 1.1.5 (before had the kernel 2.6.35.14-cyonagenmod + [email protected] # 1)

............ UP!!

Have you tried to mount as USB disk when in recovery?

Yes. Nothing

A friend once ran into a similar problem. It turned out to be luck had run out on his micro-USB port. A similar problem I once had turned out to be faulty USB ports on my laptop. I'd suggest you look into both scenarios.
*I'm saying it's likely a hardware problem*

If he tried to mount on other computers, with different OS, and still no luck, then yes, I guess it is definitely a HW problem.
@pasteles
Does the phone still charge?
I have the same problem with my TouchPad, no mounting as usb disk at all, when charger is connected the charging symbol comes up, but the current coming through the port is not enough to charge it. So I think the USB port has some faulty pins. In any case, faulty USB.
You can take a chance with the warranty or find someone able to replace the port.

i ran into this problem a few weeks back also and the problem was a faulty usb port and cable........ i changed the cable and reinstalled the drivers and i was back to a working usb

Right, I forgot the part about the faulty USB cable. Most often, it's actually the cable. Then the computer's USB port. Unlikely (and worrisome) is the probability of the micro-USB port of the Desire S having gone bad.

[Q] USB Woes

I'm on Open Your Eyes VRBLK3,with rooted & Unlocked Bootloader. I was going to flash a ROM so I made a nandroid, etc. I went to transfer the ROM from my PC to my SD card via USB but when I plug in my phone it makes the noises windows makes for USB devices, my device shows the USB symbol in the pull down and says "Connected as an Installer". When I touch for more options they are Media Device (MTP) or Camera (PTP) and my device doesn't appear as a drive like it always has in the past.
What am I missing?
Thanks

Did you try Samsungs newest driver? I randomly get problems with usb connecting too. Usually after I flash a non stock kernel it kills usb working right for me. On windows 8 and 7

I used odin to flash 2.3.6 firmware in download mode and it installed successfully, i wanted my mobile to connect to external storage device(i.e. pen drive) so i made a cable myself and also attache charger power source to that cable(hoping it would work.e. mount & read pendrive) ..After that my mobile wouldn't cnnect to my comp or laptop via usb data cable....it would charge but a usb data connection was not possible .. And finally after trying various methods i think it now is a hardware malfunction(becoz of me) and it should be given to a service center..
Rest all is working fine i can flash diff roms , camera ,wifi all working now using pacman rom so i thought service center would charge me more if i gave my mobile as it is.. they could easily charge more for seeing other rom installed So i wanted stock rom flashable by CWM..
So anyone's help is appreciated.. thanks...

what I understand from your posts is that your phone is perfectly fine but there is a problem with your pc and data cable.
Check with some other data cable,and re-install the samsung drivers for "device not recognized" error.
Use other usb port to check whether its a problem in your pc.

i never saw any such option on any rom yet!
whenever you connect with usb to a PC you get USB connected notification..click on it and enable mass storage.
never saw MTP & PTP in usb connections.
Which rom are you using?
If its 4.+ then try this

In Device Manager in Universal Serial Bus Controllers i uninstalled everything from ASMedia XHCi controllers to USB Root hub... all of them, then clicked scan for hardware changes then i connected my device to computer, then clicked the app USB mass storage for ics and JB ....on computer the elements(USb Root hub, etc.) reinstalled and there it detected my device as unknown device,,,,then for 5-10 sec a message flashed
something like this ,,...". I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I.I Ata mass storage " then it stopped showing not installed...
Using Pacman rom ..does have mtp,ptp,mass storage options..( when i tick any one of the three options it force closes)...
I googled over net on connectivity issue and will need sum time to format c drive and then try again...:fingers-crossed:

I wonder once in odin multi downloader i ticked the debug option only then i clicked delete driver option which may have caused the problem.......

Finally problem solved...replacing charging IC ( as the repairman said) solved comp connection problem then flashed stock rom....

[Q] [HELP] Usb problems

Hey guys, i'm having USB issues, i connect the phone to my computer, it does not connect, in windows it says failed to install drivers, and my nexus appears as it would be properly connected with the button saying to dismount usb storage in orange colour(you know what i mean) but it doesn't show on my computer and in device manager it shows with a yellow triangle i think this started when i flashed cm-10.1-20130503-Nightly in may, but it's totally weird.
I'm running now Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 Android 4.2.2 (11/7)
before ask:
i have tried different usb cables
i have tried different computers (XP and 7)
i have tried usb debug and all that stuff
i have tried the manual driver install (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901617) but windows doens't even let me install it it says "your drivers are up to date" and only a close button.
please guys i'm dying without USB storage, what should i do? i really really need usb storage work, just can't figure how....
Could be drivers on phone or windows?
Please help guys a huge THANKS in advance!

does it mount on recovery ???
have you tried changing your kernel ???
have you tried mtp? ( maybe in CM is not supported )
the strange thing is that apparently it works on your device ...
if you need to transfer file you can use airdroid or scatter while u fix this
