Can't connect via USB

I can't get my phone to connect to my computer via USB. One thing I noticed is the phone doesn't charge when I connect it to my computer. However, the charging light turns on briefly if I have my phone connected while it's booting up, and then it turns off after a few seconds.
I'm not sure if it's the ROM I'm using or what, but I never had this problem before I flashed this ROM. Anybody have any idea what might be going on?

If you have HardSPL try one of the ForceUSB Hard SPL's (see the stickies) and flash via SD Card (see the cmonex sticky).

But I've flashed several ROMs and never had this problem. Maybe my USB cord is shot?

Might be, or maybe something in NAND's got buggered.
Flashing a Force USB Hard SPL won't make it any worse, but might fix the NAND

I always run into the same problem...
... usually it's a setting in connections. What ROM are you using? Check your USB to PC Settings.

DesireS stuck on HTC logo - no Hboot too

Hey all ... Interesting problem with a frnds phone.. hope someone here can help unbrick the phone...
Okie.. soo..
1. DesireS ... no idea what radio/hboot/rom version.. but it was rooted earlier. Thats all the info i have.
2. Keeps rebooting when started on HTC logo, reboot after 3 seconds max.
3. Does not show up on Device manager on windows, even briefly. Cannot enter Hboot or Recovery .. phone just reboots.
Since its not detected, so i cant test even adb devices etc....
Suggestions and help regarding how to get the phone to stop long enough that something can be done on it, will be highly appreciated

May o suggest something...? I have been through a similar situation before and managed to recover by following these steps. :-
Switch your phone off completely. Do not attempt to restart it.
Now connect it with USB cable to your pc. I'm assuming you have htc usb drivers previously installed.
Fire up the cmd window and change directory to where you've kept your adb files.
Now type adb devices
If your device is listed, type adb reboot recovery.
This shoud take you into the recovery menu. From there you can restore a nandroid backup or do a full wipe and install a new rom from sd card.
Do let me know if this works.

Nope.. no device detected :/ ... Actually, the funny thing is that the phone starts up automtically when the usb is connected .. although all it shud do is just charge up .. :| .. like its in some sort of hung up mode and expects a usb :/ .. even if its connected to a power socket :S
Ive tried no sdcard, no sim, and etc etc .. but no luck :/
But i tried everything, but no device detected by adb or windows... (btw, imho the device shud only be detected if its a sort of hibernate mode no? coz a power shutdown means its completely shut down.. or does the device stay in a sort of inactive bootloader state when usb is connected? )
So .... im still open to ideas !

You've probably tried this, but.....
I find it impossible to get into bootloader using this method:
power off, hold volume down, press power on, enter bootloader.
I find invariably the phone just boots up as normal.
The best way I've found is this:
hold power button whilst phone is on, select restart, wait until backlight goes off then immediately press volume down.
Phone should restart in bootloader menu.
Like I said, you've prob tried this but it works for me.
Peace

Just realised this is prob useless to you as its actually stuck in a boot loop. Sorry.

Did you have Fast Boot enabled in Settings -> Power? That's likely your problem not being able to get into the bootloader.

Can you switch off completely...?
This is really important.
If you can switch off completely you need to remove the battery after the device is off.
Then wait for one minute and reinsert the battery.
Do not switch it on. Just connect usb to your pc. I'm assuming of course that you had enabled usb debugging on your device...
If you can't power it off then wait for the battery to discharge over time. Do not charge the phone while that is happening.
Then once it powers off remove the battery and follow instructions as written above.
After connecting to pc fire up cmd terminal and do tyw adb commands that I have written in the prwvios post.
Let me know if that helps.
Are you sure your phone can be switched off completely...?
Because in a bootloop you can't switch off the phone normally so either you need to pull battery Which I Do Not recommend, or wait for the battery to discharge itself over time.
Do keep us posted regarding further development in your case.

Read this. This was my experience when faced with an unresponsive phone.

Oh yeah... read that already ... thats what raised my hopes after u informed abt the adb reboot method
-------------
Ok.. so new update:
I drained the battery ... and tried the method.. but no device detected. In order to test various possibilities, i tried the same on my Galaxy S2.. and no device detected. Now this got me stumped.. but once i enabled "USB debugging"... adb detected device, and all was fine on my S2.
So the new conclusion is: my frnds DesireS does not have USB Debugging enabled :/
Sooo...... now the question to everyone out there is: Is there any possbie method to get USB debugging feature enabled "without" going into the rom?? Because im guessing that if i can get usb debugging.. @enigmaamit's idea will work!
So... TIL: Enable USB Debugging when playing around with your android .. or u can get screwed lol ... (redditors will understand what i mean )

Dont lose hope

Dont lose hope yet.
Let the phone discharge itself completely. Now remove battery, wait for a minute and then reinsert battery. Connect to wall charger.
Tell me what happens after your battery has completely discharged and you connect it to the charger (main charger, not pc, since we know that doesnt work anymore). Does the charging led start blinking orange...?
If so wait till the blinking stops and the LED is lit up steadily.
Then hold down volume - button and power button together to get into the bootloader screen from where you can get into recovery and restore a backup or flash a new ROM.
Make sure you read the entire thread whose link i posted in my previous post. Its also on the last line of my signature.

I had a similar situation (HTC logo, no debbuging ON) and I managed it with fastboot command. See this. But I had the access to the bootloader. But you can try

[Q] USB Brick? or something

everything was going great then while charging my phone via usb i realised there was no usb icon on screen no options in the notification menu and no phone showing on the
i have searched xda android forums and google and found nothing matching my exact situation that works
i am s off and have used a fastboot command, to no avail
any ideas anyone?
p.s i've seen talk of bent usb pins etc basically hardware faults however if thats true why does fastboot usb work and charging etc
edit: a factory reset and wiped dalvik etc has fixed it, if i restore my endymion with the problem is that likely to recreate the problem? (probably yes) in that case would restoring all apps and settings with titanium backup recreate the problem?

all chargers and pc are working its definitely the software/rom i.e something decided to go wrong for me and only me on endy again, i edited the OP with an update a fresh wipe of everything fixed it but now im wondering if a nand backup will return the problem and alternatively if a titanium restore will return the prob

No harm done in restoring the nandroid, right? If the problem reappears, just restore the nandroid of your fresh flash, or do a complete clean install... i've never had this problem on any ROM yet - the only one that had me completely locked out and unresponsive was the PrimoS (initial versions)

Help on Universal Switch

I was tinkering on my phone and switched on Universal Switch and now I can't turn it off. And now I can't access anything and the touchscreen is unresponsive but I still can access the recovery. I've tried the 3 times home button click to turn it off (when I restarted my phone) but it's not working. I think I ticked off the 3 home button click shortcut. Any body knows on how I can freeze the universal switch app through the PC or access root directory file manager with a PC. Debloater doesn't seem to work. Is there anybody out there who knows what I can do except restoring it to factory settings or flashing firmware? I really don't want to get back and start from scratch. I didn't back up this time (big mistake on my part) so its going to be hassle.
Please.. Please..

Yess!
Via OTG I used mouse,and finally got turn off Universal Switch.

could you explain how? @1stOne74

I don't know in that case, because if you can't access nothing the only thing I can say to you it's to change the motherboard, with that maybe you fix your problem
