[Q] USB not recognized

Hi All
I just have got a sensation. I cannot connect to my laptop anymore, it worked fine for a few days, but every time I connect it to my laptop, a message pops up saying that USB is not recognized, I have tried on three computers (XP + Win 7) have installed/uninstalled HTC sync with the drivers.
On the phone itself, I don't get a notification showing the options for USB connection (Charge, HTC sync etc), however it charges fine using the USB cable while connected to the PC.
I have reset my phone to factory default, formatted SD card, have tried another USB cable but no luck.
I just do not understand what can be wrong all of a sudden, once it was working fine last night but not today
Can someone please help? I have sent an email to HTC support already with this information. I'll see what they got to say about this.

Wish If i could help but I'm having the same problem since yesterday And I've tried all of the above with no luck!
Device running in stock rom, unlocked & used for 10 days only.

I had that same problem once on my Desire HD, I removed the sd card, re-inserted it and started the phone, was all good from that point on.
It might work for you too.

Any updates on this, guys ?

I had the same problem..
I used another usb kabel that fixed it for me
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

No solution for me yet!! i've searched up & down but still nothing.. its getting really frustrating.
i might get rid of it all together after all.

USB & Internet pass-through
I had this problem too. I uninstalled HTC Sync and all related HTC programmes from my laptop. Downloaded the latest HTC Sync from HTC site, and installed. After that, it worked again.
My Sensation is rooted.

i have this very same problem.
tried 4 different computers, windows xp, windows 7 x486, windows 7 x64...
tried different cables... different roms... different kernels... dettached sd card... umounted sd... mounted sd... debug mode... default modes upon connection... the problem is definitely in the phone itself...
the computer simply ignores the connection, no sign of it. the phone behaves like it is connected to a charger, not to usb.
can anybody help us?

I am also getting the same problem now!! I was downgrading to GB, then again i went to JB miui. Then i wanted to format my sdcard, formatted it through PC, and i installed new CM9 rom on it. Now, after the CM9 rom is booting, the device is not recognized by windows!!!
EDIT : Removed SDCARD, then powered off, then reinserted SD, and rebooted into recovery. It got mounted from recovery, and installed a new ROM. Now it works flawlessly!!!

what rom did you install ?

Changing your cable may fix this problem.
Buy a new one.

[Q] Ok Next Step....

So AFTER my ICS Update:I cannot get my laptop to recognize my tf101 B50. I've had several suggestions from members, but nothing has worked. I cannot get Mass Storage Access! And that sux.
SO....is there a way, keeping in mind that I cannot get access to my internal SD ( or external for that matter) to revert my tablet back to an earlier version of ROM so that I can re-root and again load CWM or nvflash?
I don't mind how ICS operates, I just want the access back to my SD's.
IS there any hope to accomplish this? Is this something that ICS can do intentionally to keep user from having access SD and Root?
I hopd someone can help!
Thank you!

Have you reinstalled asus sync and all drivers?

I have tried to. I uninstalled everything I had on this laptop.( asus wise) then tried to reinstall. The install gets all the way to the end, then hangs at the 99% installed mark on the bar. I'm going to try again. Wow does the noobie come out in me!
Thanks
I just did an entire re-install of the Asus Sync.
Still get the same message that device has malfunctioned when I plug my tf101 into my laptop. I am not able to update drivers and asus sync does not detect the device.
Any of this make sense?
Frustrating!
Thanks

Still needing help!!!!!!!!!!!
Is no one else having this issue? I have been searching for a fix for over a week. Does anyone have any advise on this?
Any help please?

This is common, check out these forums:

It just happens sometimes, not 100 percent sure why, but when I flashed Revolver's ICS rom, I lost the ability to have my device recognized when plugged in.
I have since fixed the problem by installing HD Revolution ICS rom, now my device is recognized just fine.
You should try reflashing your Rom if you'd like to keep your info, or if that doesn't work, make sure you download an app back up utility, back up your stuff, then flash a brand new rom after doing a full wipe of you device.
Should work just fine after that.
Others have found flashing the file located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22964131&postcount=47
worked out.

I appreciate the advice. BUT, If I can't get my transformer to show up as a Mass Storage decive on my PC how can I load these?

You have a removable micro sd card? Take it out of the TF, transfer the needed files to it and put it back in the TF.

I can't boot from the micro sd. I have the files that I need on it. cannot access the external micro SD OR the internal SD. The Tablet is running fine, I just cant gain access to the SD cards. I can't boot into recovery, I can get it in APX mode, but windows 7 or XP won't recognize it. Trying to update the drivers, windows is telling me that the best drivers are already installed.
This doesn't make sense to me. What would have caused this glitch?
Again, I am sorry I updated to ICS.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Sorry, missed the part where you can't access your sd card.

If you are using windows...get a copy of Ubuntu. That's how I did it (not with the TF) when I had problems getting my external storage to be recognized. The easiest would be to use a USB thumb drive so boot into Ubuntu. Ubuntu usually picks up all kinds of devices. Even an HP printer that is nno longer supported by W7 . That's how I print stuff I need.

I loaded Ubuntu onto a jumpdrive and booted it up on my pc. Plugged in my Transformer.
Still no-go on recognizing my TF101. Is here something specific that I am not doing? Should it have picked it up automatically? This is a real head shaker....
Thanks

I have to ask another question. Still nothing as far as Mass Storage/SD recognition of my TF101 B50. Windows 7 doesn't see it, and the Ubuntu I loaded this morning doesn't see it. The problem started after an OTA update.
When I try to boot into recovery, I get the robot with the red triangle and exclamation mark. Am I just SOL on this? is there ANYTHING that has worked for anyone else. This Tf101 worked great before the update.
My pc knows that something is connected, but gives me the UNKOWN DEVICE message in Device Manager, The latest drivers I have from ASUS won't work to update the drivers....I'm all out of ideas. Am I screwed?
Thanks in advance for the help......noob here.

Is your phone rooted? If so boot into recovery mode then go to advance and mount USB and then plug phone into pc and see if your pc is bening detected.
Is this your 1st time that your phone is doing thing this?
Other half I would say if you do not have the drivers from HTC then down load them from HTC for your inspire
Or what you can do is if you have the sd card adapter take out the micro sd card out and load to the pc with card reader and format it but do keep in mind you will lose everything if all the above do NOT work it will be a lose if you have to go that route this happen to me once so.if you can't get your pc to read the card with sd card adapter could be that your micro card is bad some how

So your phone is the only one that your pc is not detecting it?
Did you uninstall any drivers did you do any stock os update?
If you do have the drivers from HTC inspire try uninstall them and re install them.
Sounds crazy are you by chance pluging your that isn't working in the same USB port try another port

havent tried connecting it with any other pc yet. im not able to do any update because its greyed out and the way to update is by htc sync my phone is running 2.3.3 sense 2.1
my problem is somehow related to this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1247351
but it hasnt been resolved yet, how am i gonna be able to do adb when my sdcard is not mounted when it is

Damn thats crappy.. (im sure you know this by now lol) like I said before this happen to me but what I did was boot into recovery by the vol down and power method and once I did get into recovery I selected mounts and usb and plug in my phone and BAM! detected and was able to access the sd card and REMOVE THE PD98IMG file that kept my phone from booting up..
Honestly I would try plugging your phone into another port of your pc that your using or go to another pc and try it something that does not have the htc drivers and if not install them and remove htc sync driver once you get them there is 3 drivers you get keep the other 2 but uninstall the sync..
All that info from that link you posted and what your telling is like 99.9% same issues I had a few months back.
But also like I said do you have the sd card adapter for the micro sd card? if so then try just plugging the sd card in the pc and see if you can access the sd card files and if you do have that PD98IMG delete it.
Once you do so that should clear up and bootloops..
By chance when you were flashing a rom while in recovery, did you flash a rom and flash a kernel? Because I did that once back to back where I flash a rom and with out it booting up for the 1st time it just sat there looping because I flashed the kernel right after I flash the rom.. If you did that just wipe everything and flash again flash the rom boot 1st time then flash kernel.. I know this may not have much info to you request hahah
just thank me for any help that I provide means a lot..

Major issue... Help required

Hi All
just decided to start and reuse my desire s but hit a snag...
It will not boot..
Booted into recovery (twrp 2.8.7.1) and says no os... Thought no problem will download and copy to sd card. did that and then discovered that Twrp didn't see the sd card so tried 6 different ones(all working in other devices). Still no joy!!!! Ok so I thought I would flash a different recovery nope not happening the PC and laptop does NOT recognise it when in bootloader! Yet it can be seen when in recovery(can't copy to it thought)..
I am now at a loss as to what happen or what to do next as trying an RUU.exe fails as it requires a BOOTED phone!
Any ideas and help would be most welcome right now.
thank you

HTC recognition via USB on PC

Hi there.
I have an U11 now and I am quite happy with it.
But there is one problem.
It takes ages till I see the U11 appearing on the PC. USB debugging is on, data transfer chose at the U11, tried several USB connections on the PC tried even another laptop.
Sometimes it is even not showing the phone.
Are here people around who are facing the same problem?
Any solutions?
Thx a lot.
Schuertzi

Yeap exactly the same...

No problem here, each new usb port you connect to loads the drivers and takes a few seconds but after that connection is fast.

Thing that has me peeved is the lack of OTG support. I like to backup straight to an external HDD. No go with the U11.

Tried and waited really long after the drivers were installed. Nothing changed really. Even with using the same USB connection.
May be I did something wrong during flashing TWRP and then the Viper ROM.
Will check and let you know.
Thx
Sxhuertzi

I had the same issue even though i didnt root. I tried on multiple pcs and still got a message saying usb device not recognized. So i returned it and ordered the solar red. I should receive it today and I'll let you know if I still get the same result.

Great, just let us know.
Thx

Hi Guys,
I solved my problem.
I had first the wrong TWRP installed then deleted. Tried then again to install via fastboot. Was not possible.
Then, I installed the official TWRP app from the playstore. Installed the actual TWRP from there. And voila, TWRP installed, rebooted and everything works.
Just for your info. May be you have similar problem.
Schuertzi.

So i definitely had a defective device as this new one connects without any issue.

I can use external HDD and pendrives. In fact, the u11 recognises NTFS even.
