Working Tornado. No USB. Any options? SD or others?

Hi all
I have a clean working tornado, with VJ 3.3 WM6 ROM.
The phone's USB port is toast. Can use it only to charge the phone. No USB sync possible. PC (multiple PCs and multiple USB ports) doesnt recognise anything. Even tried cleaning phone usb port with air, brushes etc, nothing works.
Bootloader mode works fine. But I cant get the phone recognised when you connect it to the PC. RUU always says error 260. (This, after all the tricks..activesync enabled/disabled, WMStorage enabled/disabled etc etc etc).
Can I flash it to the latest 6.1 somehow?
Can I use an SD image to upgrade? Can anyone tell me how?
Or should my tornado remain as a faithful WM6 until its last breath?
Valuable suggestions please
Thanks and Regards
Steve

Try bluetooth connection with pc or change usb port from smartphone.

i have the same problem
I have the same problem.Try to connect it on a xp system with activesync.I did that and it worked for a day on my vista pc but now it does the same as before.
Maybe its a registry bug because there many people with the same problem but what do i know...confused
Any help from the coockers?

Well, atleast three others have IMed me with same problem. After all could it be that a registry or a software errror could be at fault here? I never did anything to the USB port for it to go poof, coming to think of it...
Yeah, and all the PCs and ports I tried where on multiple machines running XP and Vista. Not a pulse at all..
Cookers, experts, please please..

The funny thing is that when i had the original WM5 ROM activesync worked fine on every Vista or XP system that i pluged the phone!!!
Well i'll try to flash back to WM5 to see if it works just like when i bought the phone.If it's working then it must be someking of ROM problem.If it isnt then i'm going to put my hands up cause i'm not so expert!
Please we need some help here.I thing they are more people than us with the same issue.
Thanks in advance!

Tethering on Sprint???

How can i connect this phone to my laptop to use it as a modem? Im switching from a Touch Pro with windows mobile and I had "internet connection sharing" for that.

root access hasnt been obtained yet for the sprint hero. only way currently is to pay for the tethering package through sprint....sit tight, root will come soon enough...

If you install HTC Sync, plug in the Hero and then enable Mobile network sharing under wireless settings it is recognised as a RNDIS device. Mine seems to try and connect but I get an error 67 message.

If you dont mind using the USB cable I have been using

PDAnet works great.. No Root access needed.

Thank you for the quick responses. My boss wants to get this phone so I need to make sure that PDAnet works perfectly. Is it just plug&play, or do u need to start a program on the phone or PC?

I'm running windows 7 on a bone stock phone and all I had to do was install HTC Sync (downloadable from the phone itself or better yet, from the HTC website).
I installed that and then enabled Settings>Wireless Controls>Mobile network sharing. This works just fine for me. (Being windows 7, I had to manually install the driver for the NDIS device that showed up but that's all included in the install (or anywhere on the web if you google for it)).
HTC Sync just kindof runs in the background once installed.
EDIT: I don't have any special tethering package either...just their Simply Everything plan for smartphones.

Be careful with that...
I finally broke down and bought a MiFi and it's awesome. Spendy, but worth the cash to be able to get access for anything with a Wifi adapter.

Could you go a little more in depth? I have my drivers installed so I can connect and transfer via USB, and use HTC Sync. But I still get that error when I try to tether...

I was reading in another forum that some people think that tethering is working over sprint, but in reality they are connected to WiFi. Turn off WiFi on phone first, then you get the error 67 when you try and connect over sprint. Sorry to burst any bubbles.

Oh, and before anyone says to read the post on the next page....I'm talking about getting around sprints disabling PAM. I don't want to try and get the hero to connect to the computer first before connecting to the net. There has to be a patch that someone knows about to disable sprints disable! Anyone know how to do this?

I just did a speed test while tethering on my work laptop running vista, and here's my result:
I got around the same DL speed earlier, but got a little more upload speed.

Yes, you need to start the PDAnet program on the phone and on the computer. When you first install the program on your pc it configure a virtual modem driver in order to reconize the phone as an internet connection.
I have been using it for a few days.. Works great so far. I would be connected to the usb anyways to keep my phone powered up.
@Snowcatrm
(I am running mine on XP.) Make sure HTC sync is not running. 64bit Windows Vista drivers can get tricky. If I get a chance I ll run to my friend who is running Vista 64 and try and see if I get the same results.
Wish I could get root access to try out the phone as a wifi router but I guess we will have to wait.

[SOLVED] internet sharing, wifi, usb, linux and other problems

Hi all,
I love my phone, and the roms all these prouds guys are releasing out there. I'm currently on CM9 by Dhiru (alpha12).
My problem is that i really need the thetering feature that Android OS provide; is necessary for me, but i faced a lot of problems with my i9003!
when i was in GB Stock, i was able to share internet via Wifi and Bluetooth to my linux box (yeah, i'm on linux) without any issue, but for the usb theter (the best way to do it for battery and security related stuff) i hadn't any luck. I passed to CM9 for all the features it provides, for the good loking and couse is really better that GB in all parts!
But now, i not only be unable to theter via usb if also with bluetooth and wifi!!! wah
So now i would like to know if someone can point me in the right direction to find a way to use theter on my phone!!
Ah, no WEP tether here plz
P.S.
with a galaxy y i can succesfully usb tether on my box...
P.P.S
srr for my awful english

Use a 3rd party app for internet tethering!

Tethering in Cm9 alpha12 don't work. Its a known bug. You can use apps from play store.

wifi tethering with third party apps works only because set the wifi in ad-hoc mode instead master mode, and i won't to set my shared connection in this way, also because of WEP enc.
The usb tethering apps works only (i suppose couse never tried) for private driver installation; that means no universal way, that mean i need to install these apps and proprietary drivers on the machine i want to use, and again is not feasable!
so, these 2 options are not a solution.
And i have to say that the usb tethering seems to be broken in linux on i9003, couse i can succesfully usb tether (wifi ofcourse work) from a galaxy next!

Try this app. The phone was recognized without doing anything when I used it (linux, I had to install Samsung drivers on Windows)

It worked for me.
I tried native thetering on my laptop using a network-manager (useful when you have to manage several wifi networks..) and everything worked without really doing anything, no ifconfig, dhcpd etc, I just plugged the phone. Maybe if you do things manually there's something extra to do, I've never tried it because in my case "no network-manager => cable avaible => no need of thetering", but I might try one day.
Anyway the app I suggested is working great, it's as fast as native thetering, at least it was fast when I used it, it has a very nice interface and it bypass all the thetering restrictions your provider might set ;D
The only problem I have with it is that whenever I use it, I need to toggle "USB debug" to make this one work again without a reboot, but that's a minor thing. And another thing I noticed is that (in CyanogenMod) even though the data usage is correctly calculated, there's no "android-usb-theter" in the list and the traffic is equally spread. But as long as it keep tracks of it it's ok.
To edit the title: edit the first post > "Go advanced" and there you should see the option.

Mmh dunno,
but i'm on Chanogen 9 with i9003, and on a ubuntu box and network-manager running i hadn't any luck with the native theter, intead, with a galaxy mini it worked with both system out of the box... maybe is my phone

Tried this app.. Tethering works fine, but my external sd card, that is my micro sd does not show up on my comp (running Windows) in usb mass storage anymore.
When I installed this app and connected it to the it installed a mass storage driver, maybe that is responsible. How do u fix it??

Mmh, why did you use it if usb tethering is working fine under windows?
yes, probably is that driver that force to use it; did you used to have mass storage working before using that app?
and the drivers, was provided by the software itself, asked by windows or what? where did you got it?
can you just uninstall it and try if work again?

I installed the tethering app.. when I connect the phone to the comp after that, the driver gets installed on its own ..and the external SD does not show up any more .. Both storage work fine in mass storage mode prior to the above driver installation ..

USB Tethering not working at all.

So I am trying to USB tether right? but, for some reason it won't even setup a connection and when I enabled Dedug mode for USB that seemed to get it working. Honestly I don't want to do it that way. I pay for my tethering plan unlike most people on here with T-Mobile.
What I am trying to say is that out the box USB tethering does not work.
Now with Debug enabled I can do it, but when debug is enabled my damn Win 8.1 64 bit flips out! Seriously I don't know what the hell this damn phone is doing to my computer but it forces my CPU to go up to 100% usage!!
I have a 2500 $ laptop bought this year and its a Sager. This laptop has never had an issue until I tried to USB tether while on debug mode...
I need to know how I can just tether this stupid thing to my laptop without using debug OR other apps. I wanna go 100% legit for once! Use every thing how its meant to be used!
Please help!

Is this some kind a joke fellas? NO ONE has seen their computer or laptop flip out when this Nexus 5 starts tethering? Guys this is a major issue that forces my computer to slow speeds once the tether is activated. When the connection is severed my computer works like normal... I was doing tethering on my laptop with a Photon 4G phone and never once seen this issue... I wonder if it has to do with using the infrastructure of the Nexus 5 vs using something like PDAnet or something. Which I can use because I bought it. Easytether sucks though... Well sometimes it sucks.

I've tethered a bunch on Windows 7 tho. Never had a hitch problem. Don't know what to tell you.

I just ran into this exact same problem. WiFi tethering seems to work fine, but enabling USB tethering slow my PC to a crawl. Task Manager is particularly slow to respond while USB tethering is enabled. I've tested with two PCs, and have gotten the same results.

Well then is anyone able to point me toward the correct drivers? The ones that get installed automatically have caused this problem for me now on three different machines, two running Windows 7, and one running Windows 8. The tether works, insofar as I can get online and view websites, but the system slows to the point of unusability at the same time.

Neither the drivers linked, nor the Google drivers as provided in the Android SDK, are the correct driver for the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" that appears when using USB tethering. If the answer to the problem is "we don't know, use WiFi tethering instead" then so be it, I'll make do. It would be nice if even one person could come in here and say "I have a Nexus 5 and USB tethering works fine" though, since if this is indeed a "driver issue" there must be someone out there who has this working fine.

Sorry to raise a thread, but I am having the same issue as the OP with a Nexus 5 and Windows 8.1. Thethering on USB causes the machine to slow, CPU to spike, although the internet connection is established. Has anyone found any fix? I have tried resetting the device, using it on another machine and it still has the same issue.
As soon as the Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device is listed in Device Manager, my machine spikes. Have tried uninstalling the driver and letting in re-install as well. Driver for the NDIS piece is from Microsoft. Can't find anything else.
Thanks!

i have the same issue, always have done and the only solution i found was just to use wifi tethering. tried changing drivers but nothing has worked.

i have this issue on a samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition P605 uses the Remote NDIS driver like the nexus 5 wifi teathering perfectly fine USB Teathering is bad the driver will dropout or if i unplug the tablet from the computer it will either speed back up or act as if it is still connected.... when rebooting it will not reboot if i have unplugged it and it still thinks its connected but if i dont unplug it and reboot it will blue screen with a usb bugcode or something like that....
ps sorry for posting to this post even though my issue is with a SGN10.1 2014

Had anybody figured out a fix for this crazy issue? I've been trying to fix this for a while now but nothing seems to working!

I was able to solve the problem by changing the driver of the device. In case anyone is interested, here are the steps
Plug the phone to the USB and enable USB tethering
Go to Device Manager. Under Network Adapters a "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" should be listed. Right click on it and click on Update Driver... > Search on the computer > Choose manually from a list....
Here, uncheck Show compatible hardware, then go to Microsoft and search for "Remote NDIS Compatible Device" on the right. Click next and Yes in the warning message that appears. Now the computer should behave normally.

Thanks buzz. Worked for my Nexus 5x

[Q] Windows 8 Not Recognizing Phone when in "MTP" mode

I am running the June 19 build of a CyanogenMod based on version 11-20140620-Sultan-skyrocket (Android 4.4.4).
I was working to reorganize my music library and finally dump iTunes. I am experimenting with a new Music Player that requires a USB synch using MTP.
The main reason for the switch from iTunes is that a lot of my Music is Lossless encoded and it just takes up too much room on my phone. I could not find an iTunes synching solution that would transcode those large files to a smaller format during the synch process (unless I go with an iPod / iPhone).
When I switch my phone to MTP mode, the PC (Windows 8.1) does not recognize it. If I switch to Mass Storage (UMS) the phone shows up in the file explorer.
Any suggestions on how to get the MTP working would be appreciated.
Thanks

Go to device manager and look for the the icon with an exclamation mark, with your phone hooked up to usb. Right click on it and update software. Then go to where it says let me pick from a list..... Choose android composite adb interface. It'll ask you if your sure, just say yes.

Sorry for the slow reply and Thanks for the post. Unfortunately Windows would not let me update the driver in error in the Device Manager. It said it was an unrecognized USB Device and would not browse for additional drivers. I tried every way I could think of to "force" it.
Just to help determine what might be going on, I restored the ATT / Samsung ICS using CWM. Unfortunately I am having similar issues with that. Sometimes the USB connects and sometimes it is unrecognized. I tested the cables and my Windows 8.1 PC with my Galaxy 5 (stock ATT KITKAT) and everything seems to work fine. I guess the micro USB port on my phone must be going bad.
Thanks again
