32-bit

I have the drivers installed its not picking them up... And I'm not sure as to which one is for this phone to manually install it..

32 and 64 are your computer. Try turning off the phone, then plugging it in and turning it on, strangely enough that has fixed problems with USB before.

What do you mean it "won't recognize"
When you plug it in you get no notification? Or are you trying to mount the sd card in windows?

When I plug it in it recognizes that something usb was plugged in but it won't pick up the drivers

Try plugging your phone in, then go to the Device Manager in Windows, and look to see if any of the entries have a yellow or red exclamation point beside them.

got it!!!
thanks for all the help but after all the messing around it was the USB cord to be the blame!!!

[Q] HTC Sync drivers won't work

I'm trying to root my girlfriend's Evo Shift 4G. I downloaded the latest version of HTC Sync to my computer but when I connect the phone under sync mode it never detects the phone. Windows 7 starts to install the drivers but fails to install them. I reinstalled windows 7 32 bit no antivirus software and fresh sync install and it still won't work. I went into device manager and it showed Android Phone with a yellow explanation point. I removed the usb cable, uninstalled the android phone device, rebooted, plugged the usb cord into a different usb port and it still won't work. At this point I have no idea what to do in order to get the computer to see the phone so I can use ADB to get the phone rooted. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

i banged my head over this for hours yesterday only to find that the problem was i was using a knock-off ebay usb cable. once i tried the "official" usb cable that came with the phone (has a HTC tag on it) it worked perfectly!!

Definately check the Micro USB Cable. I've had knock off cables be the cause of several issues. I always make sure to use the HTC factory cable. Also make sure and check your ports on the phone, and PC. Make sure they're clean. Dust and dirt collect in them as time goes on.

Okay thanks I'll try the HTC cable. I was using the cable from my Nexus S 4G maybe the phone's port was dirty. I'll check things out. Thanks for the ideas!

Here to help

Okay I tried cleaning the contacts on 3 different USB cables, cleaned the usb port of the Shift, and still no luck. If it's connected in storage mode or charge only the computer shows an HTC Android Phone. However, once USB debugging is turned on it doesn't know the phone is there. Any other ideas? Is there a different driver that debugging mode uses that maybe I don't have?

Okay now I tried hooking up my Nexus S 4G to the computer and once USB debugging is turned on the computer couldn't locate a driver. It's something about debugging that's messing up my computer.

Make sure USB Debugging is turned on. Menu-Settings-Applications-Develpment. Make sure USB Debug is checked.

He said the problem is the phone isn't recognized once debugging is checked.
This is strange though.. I have rooted my Shift, a Nexus S and installed CM on my Touchpad and never had any issues with the drivers. Maybe try removing and reinstalling the drivers? Obviously something is not agreeing with your PC.

When USB debugging is turned on, windows doesn't find the phones. :-(

Sounds like you need to update the HTC drivers. I used the ones off the Revolutionary site for the EVO4G.

Any way you could link me to where you got the drivers?

New toi motorola

Hi, a newcomer to motorola and already a stupid question : How can I charge my razr hd on my computer ?
I don't seem to have just this function when att with an USB....
Txs for the help
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app

If it is plugged into the computer, it's charging. I just set it to camera mode if I want to keep the SD card mounted in the phone.

In fact, the phone continues" flipping" between charging and multimedia mode... never stable and in the end discharging

If you want to use MTP with your Windows XP machine, you probably need to download Microsoft drivers. Just search for Windows XP MTP.

txs - will do
(honestly was a bit worried though seeing tt my mobile didn't connect properly....)

Try differents cables and make sure u have the usb drivers for your phone.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app

Yeah I have an s3 also and that connects fine, it has to be something with the infuse, cause I can't flash anything cant update my bootloader or go back to stock.... anyone know if there's some part of the software that can be wiped or something to fix the usb problem...?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

I've been in the same boat for a few months. Charge yes. Download mode yes. PC see phone on USB no. Power button failed and replaced it. Asked the place that fixed it about the USB problem and they replaced the USB connection but this didn't help. They said could be a bad USB controller. I've flashed multiple ROMs with full wipe and same story. New USB cables don't help. It seems it must be software related. Have removed all Samsung drivers from my PC and reloaded to no avail. I'd really like to return to stock or GB because I miss taking movies and listening to streaming music without chop. And I think I'm getting old and lazy. Fair likelihood I'll get an S3 or S4 soon and give the infuse to my kid. Maybe I'll something bigger...

USB connection

So my nexus 5 was working perfect was really happy with it... Rooted and unlocked, but after that I can't get ADB or mass storage... All it does when I plug in to PC is charge... I don't even get the sound on the pc when I plug it in??
Any ideas?

If you are connected via MTP try disabling USB Debug mode (settings >developer options)
Its the only solution I know for my N5
Sent from my Nexus 5

I've tried all that... I don't even get confirmation from windows that something is plugged in... It just charges
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Make sure you do the changes while the phone is not plugged in. Otherwise unplug the phone again and change the USB connection type from MTP to PTP and back again.
If that doesn't work then uninstall the adb files installed on your computer and reinstall them

You don't have the correct drivers installed, Google "Samsung nexus usb drivers" Yea, I know it's not a Samsung device, but they'll work.

It was all working fine before... I had an issue before with drivers but it was easily fixed... I don't even get an adb device in driver list I get no "installing" no beep when I plug it in nothing?? Really strange

What happens if you're in the bootloader with the device connected and you type fastboot devices in a command window.

Nothing it doesn't connect at all :/

Have...have you tried a different cable?

Not yet as I don't seem to have one... I'm praying that a new cable works... It was all working fine before tho now all I get is "charging"
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

try going to Settings>Storage, and tap the menu icon on the top right and check if mtp is on or off
mine was off somehow

No that's not it I've done all that... The only time the PC even acknowledges that its there is if I boot to recovery while plugged in... It freezes the PC up a bit then comes up that its not recognised

Can somebody do me a favour and have a close look at your charger cable are the pins all inline or are they in like a v shape?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I had the same problem, solved by Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit. Just follow the steps.
Your cable seems to be OK, I have a "V" shape too.
Hope it's going to help.

Did you manage to solve this issue? Same thing is happening to me, 3 different computers don't recognize the phone anymore, it only charges via usb.
