Touch pro usb doesn't work? (not the syncing)

Well for a while I thought my usb just died on my phone. I thought it got wrecked by physical damage like a power surge coming through mah pc when booting up and such...
But I just thought, well what the heck, and I flashed an old htc stock rom.
Now when I connected my phone to the pc, my touch pro gave me the 3 option screen.
activesync,sd,internet
But the pc did not detect any new hardware .
So I sadly flashed back to my energy rom. But al of the sudden when I wanted to connect my touchpro to the pc for charging, it asked me what to do (3 option scnreen), and the also detected my touch pro (well now my touchpro, it just saw something got connected).
So my pc tried ti install the drivers, it said it installed pockec sync usb something. But device center didn't notice any phone.
So I thought, too bad, but whne I disconnected the phone I heard a sound when disconnecting usb hardware.
Now the pc doesn't detect my touch pro when plugging in.
But this is proof it isn't physical damage (atleast I think).
Cause of the usb failure.
I was flashing a couple of months ago, when it suddenly started to stop at the middle. (each time it was another point so no damaged rom).
so I was able to flash it form my pc that time, but the times after that I had to flash from sd. Also when I tried to connect my phone, the pc lost connection with the phone after 40 secs.
Does someone know what to do? Please help me, usb is kinda important .

Btw, I have got this problem at every pc, also with every cable.
And now windows keeps saying an unkown device connected.
And shortly after windows detected my phone it undetects its.
(i hear two beeps in a row)
Yes I have disabled fast usb to pc

I forgat to mention that my pc doesnt reconize the device,
and with this rom my touchpro doesn't know it is connected
(It doesnt want to sync or anything), doesnt see it got plugged in.

Is there n1 here wich knows the solution??!

This problem is caused by damaged mini usb port on your device.
Actually this this new mini usb with 11 pin used in Touch Pro in & many other HTC device has a very delicate & thin plastic piece in middle. Quite visible from outside, this acts both as separator for the 2 layered pins of mini usb & base for connectors when u insert a usb to connect a pc or the audio cord.
This small plastic separator gets cracked if you do not handle usb connections properly.
Now here is the solution -
1.Remove battery
2.Look into mini usb port on device, see if there is a crack in between
3.If yes take a fine needle just press the cracked part so that the whole piece gets leveled.
4. Then you can put a small drop of quick drying fixer at the outer tip of this plastic part,take care it doesn't go inside otherwise it will create a layer on connecting plates.
Hope it helps you.

Broken Touchscreen, need to do a backup before I send for repairs.

As the title says, I need to do a backup of my phone before I send to repair but since the screen is broken I can't really do anything. I plug it into my PC and it says Charge Only. Sony PC companion doesn't detect it because I need to select the option but again I can't because I can't use my screen I can't select anything.
Is there anything I can do to back it up? I have tons of important pictures I don't want to lose..

This happened to me as well with my Oneplus One.
I had to use a USB OTG adapter and plug in a mouse; the phone should detect the mouse and you can do all the backups like that.

HDMI MHL - Shutting off phone display while connected to Sentio Desktop?

Working on a project to turn my phone into a desktop without a need for too specialized adapters and without root. Using my LG G5 for testing this. Have a MHL USB Type C adapter that contains USB, HDMI, and Type C in (charging). The setup works well, and I'm able to hook in my keyboard, monitor, and mouse perfectly. Screen resolution is slightly cut off on the top and bottom edges. It seems to mirror the display of my device. Could imagine it troublesome for taller phones like the S8.
This can be fixed without root, as you can give Sentio Desktop permissions to edit the display settings.
HOWEVER, I don't see anyway to turn off the display when plugged into the adapter and keep running the same.
This is more of a long-term problem. Having the screen on for extended period of time will cause heat issues, not to mention wear on the screen.
Is there any kind of way to turn off the phone's display when hooked in, akin to closing the lid on a Mac when hooked to a monitor (without root preferably)?

Did you ever find out how to do this? Bugs me too!

Pulling data with a dead screen (replace attempted) and number lock

The screen on my Motorola Droid Ultra broke (no visual, no touch that I can figure). It has a numeric lock screen (I know the code still) and although I have a computer that has connected to it previously, without unlocking it it will not show up in My Computer.
My primary goal is to be able to pull out Color Note memos and browser tabs/bookmarks for two or three browsers. Having it working would be neat but not required.
I envision this being done by fixing the phone (new screen) or some program that can have my computer serve as screen and input for the hardware.
USB debugging is off - probably because it broke Pokemon Go. SIM removed and disabled (been working on this off-and-on for over a year, at this point I am just stubborn and wanting to learn).
I tried replacing the screen, or rather, pulling out of board and putting it into a different Droid Ultra (same phone, different screen/digitizer and case). It did not work. I opened it up and tried reconnecting, still nothing. When plugged in as one does to charge it intermittently vibrates, which according to the internet seems to mean there is no screen connected. There is.
I have a pigtail USB, microUSB male, micro usb female, and with all that plugged in to the phone, computer (via charger/phone cord), and a keyboard the keyboard does not light up (capslock, num lock) but the phone starts the occasional buzzing for (what I assume is) the screen "unplugged". Not entirely sure how to know is phone is on or off, or if it will turn on at all with the screen "not connected" as it seems to think.
I so want to just be able to pull out the keyboard and plug it in like I can do with real computers. >.<
Any Ideas?

use a OTG cable and connect a mouse, it works!
look for screen mirroring software, to share data with your pc.

Control phone with broken lcd

Hi
I have Galaxy Ace 4 (kitkat 4.4) with broken lcd. The screen is blank but touch should work. Earlier something was visible on screen and as I remember touch was working.
Moreover, the system had some failure due to permanent "application xxx stopped working" and factory reset should be made.
I would like to use this phone as wifi hotspot. Is there any way to access the phone after factory reset? I have found application like Visor to control android via usb on pc. But developer mode has to be enabled and I'm not sure if system should be rooted.
Thank you for any help

If you can still see the screen, but the touch screen does not work:
Buy a cheap USB adapter so you can connect a PC keyboard or mouse (probably a USB C to USB A adapter). You can buy these adapters from China on eBay for $ 1 (but you may have to wait a month until they arrive in the mail. In this case, buy from a seller in your own country). I suppose you have a keyboard or just use the keyboard and use the arrows to move and select things, so I think the Windows button will become the home button. Press Enter to select and Escape to return. Or you can simply point and click with the mouse. The problem is that not all phones support "OTG", so you may not be able to read the adapter. If so, then I think you have no other choice. . But most of the stores themselves definitely support 100% OTG, so it should work normally. The problem with Bluetooth is that you need to pair it first, which requires touching the screen. Therefore, if you cannot touch the screen, using a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard may not work
If you can't see the screen, but the touch screen works normally:
Unless you change the screen, don't think that there are many things you can do. Android phones that were previously compatible with MHL allow you to use a dongle to connect it directly to HDMI. But the cell phone no longer has that function. If you have a Samsung phone, I think you can buy a Samsung Dex docking station, which will allow you to connect it to the screen via HDMI. If you can install applications on your phone, you may be able to control your phone from your computer using a screen mirroring application (there are thousands of different software that can do this, but you need to install applications on your phone). Same as Google Chromecast screen mirroring. .You need to access the application on your phone to perform this operation. Therefore, there is nothing you can do except replace the screen. If you are lucky and your smartphone supports some type of HDMI dongle adapter or some type of desktop docking station with HDMI output, you can view the phone's screen and access it.
