Hi,
i cant connect to my phone normally via usb. System windows 10 says "USB device not recognized". I know its a poplar problem and many solutions is on the internet but for me no one solution work. Only way to connect my phone is via wifi debuging via android studio. Maybe someone know that one more solution that can help me ? Is there any chance is that phone problem? I tried difrent cables, computers ... nothing. pls help
Did you install the right drivers?
Make sure you're using a usb data cable (like the original one included with the phone)
Try different USB ports on your computer.
Make sure you've set your pixel to "Data transfer on USB connection".
I'll repeat the last point again, because it's probably the solution to your problem:
Make sure to set your pixel to file transfer when you plug in the phone to the pc. Most people say that the pixel defaults to "no file transfer" or just "charging". That isn't any good for you, as you want to transfer files. Once your phone is connected to your computer, swipe down to your notification shade, and you should see a normal or silent notification that has to do with the USB connection. If you have usb debugging enabled, it will also show another notification for that. Click on the one for the usb connection. It will open a menu, here you must select "File transfer". You might have to do this every time your connect your phone. Some phones have an option to change the default setting in developer options.
Hope I helped!
If I solved your problem, please mark this post as the solution, to help out other users.
Yes i have a correct drivers and cable but windows said that its not drivers for it. After plug usb in android what it must do after connection is all blured.

Would have preffered it if the image was in english, oh well.
try selecting the option on the top and seeing if windows can get any drivers for it.
if you've got no luck, then install the drivers manually.
When i try this first option (USB stering by conected device) it says "Cannot connect"
I try instal manually but dont work. For windows this is not a mobile device.
I have a pixel 4a that took a quick swim. The USB port allows charging but not data.
It's probably not the same thing you are seeing, since it literally doesn't show up as a port to either the phone or the PC.
I wasnt have any water conection or damage. I dont know what it could be. Do you think its a port problem? Windows sees some device but wont select good driver for it. I can't do it even when i pick exactly driver for it. Its frustrating that i watched video's that says " its Simple and now lets do this or that" and of course i have biger problem with it. Like i said i have connection VIA android studio. Maybe is there any file that i can put to Pixel for better recognization ?
Try using an installer for installing its drivers, rather than manually installing signed/unsigned drivers in device manager.

I don't understand. How can i install driver other than in device manager ? I do install drivers by Android studio too. I can see that even my external mic (Blue yeti with usb c adapter) is not visible for pixel. I tried too with external memory and it works fine. is there any chance that is faulty usb port?
Please let me know what do you mean with installer. Thanks for responses.
edit. I tried also with forcing in developer options usb connects to media files transfer. dont work
A bit off that NOTHING works, could be a faulty port. Bring it to a service centre or a repair shop if a service centre isnt easily accessbile for you.

Can you rule out that it is a Windows problem with your specific Pixel 4a device by simply starting a bootable Linux (Ubuntu, Mint, etc.) from a USB flash drive and trying the connection there?
Ah ... tried to open pixel, and for no reason screen dies. Opened it gently with no breaks but now have litle flickers. I bought Nord 2. I see in auction in Poland one more person have usb problem so i guess its finally port problem (this module). Thanks for all responses and help.

Hey guys,
I'm having a little (big) problem with my HTC S710 (Windows Mobile 6.1).
I used to put MP3's, CABs and AVI's on my mobile through a USB-cable. Whenever I put a USB-cable in my phone everything worked right away, and an 'Removable Device' was found on my PC.
However, now when I put the cable in my phone (and PC) nothing happens (the phone starts to charge, but my PC acts like nothing happens, it doesn't even say 'New Hardware has been found').
I'm running Windows 7 (people reported Windows Mobile Device Center having issues with Windows 7, but it used to work on Windows 7 so that's not the problem).
Things I tried:
2 different cables
Reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center
Updating Windows Mobile Device Center (to latest version, 6.1)
Unticking 'Enable advanced Network functionality' in Settings
Manually run ActiveSync on my mobile (and PC)
Restarting the PC (doh)
Restarting the phone (doh)
Looking in my phone-settings, couldn't find anything strange
Booting in safe-mode
My laptop doesn't have Bluetooth so that's not an option.
I tried all kind of things from the internet, but just nothing seems to work. It's not a problem with my USB, because whenever I put my digital camera in my laptop everything works just fine (with the same cable).
I hope someone can help me here...

It looks like you were using WM5torage, didn't you? And now it is disabled. Because standardly your device is not shown as removable drive. I should be wrong, because I don't know, how W7 are working.
Try to pair your device via WMDC and you will see, if it will work.
Can you give me instructions on how to do that?
Thanks in advance
Sorry, I can't, because I don't have W7.
But I have Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows Vista installed so it should be the same
Then it might be same as in Vista. You have to connect your device with USB cable and everything should be done automatically. If not, you might try this two things:
1) Open WMDC and click on connection settings (I am not sure in this english translation, because I have czech one). Check, if USB cable is allowed. If yes, go to step 2
2) You might try disabling advanced USB functionality via settings->connections->more->usb to pc and uncheck box on your device (not computer)
Now, your device and computer should pair with no problem and you can browse your device with no problems.
I can't help you with WM5torage, because I am not using it.
Thanks for your help, but:
@1: The checkbox was already ticked
@2: As stated in my first post, I already tried that (without any luck )
Thats all weird. Just one thing. When you start ActiveSync on your device and open connections. Do you have checkbox ticked and USB selected?
And second thing. You wrote, that you have W7. Did you have your device paired on that same configuration and W7 build and just lost your connection? Or you had your device paired on oldest build of W7 or Vista?

The checkbox is ticked, yes.
It was paired on previous build of Windows 7, but I already removed those synchronisation profiles on my S710, so it's now paired with 0 computers..
So in your device, there is no paired computer and in computer is no paired device?
Exactly
That is really weird. Maybe some W7 bug? WMDC bug? I have no ideas how to solve that...
I have no idea too, someone else?
PS Thanks for your help
Here how i solved it...
I had the same problem until i did a new search for driver on a unknown device in the device manager. My problem was that the driver that windows 7 tried to install didnt work but after a new search it found a better one and after that it worked perfectly! Good luck!
Running CM10 stable on a Telstra One XL.
I have adb drivers installed, and they work fine. But when I enable usb tethering, the device does not install or find drivers. I get these two broken devices in device manager, including a USB hub device that claims it cannot start (and disappears when I disable USB tethering):

So annoying, since wifi tether drains more battery than is charged back into the device via USB.
I believe USB tethering requires HTC sync installed. But I've never got it to work properly either way

No luck with HTC Sync. It just means that when I enable USB tethering, the HTC Sync window opens up. The device remains with an exclamation mark in device manager.
No one else has gotten USB tether working on Windows 8?

Hi,
I was having the same issue. Today I got it to work, sort of. I flashed to the latest nightly build (19/12) and also flashed to the EVITA 2.40 Radio for Telstra HOXLs. I'm not sure if this brought a change. What I have found is this:
A standard Mass Storage Device driver is installed when setting the phone to USB Storage mode.
If I then disable USB storage, and enable USB Tethering, the storage driver in Device Manager gets a yellow icon next to it indicating driver failure. Now, if I update the driver for that device (automatically search for updated drivers), or even delete it and scan for hardware changes, Windows finds a Remote NDIS driver for the same device, and tethering starts to work i.e. a new network is found.
If I then disable tethering and switch back to USB storage mode, then the Remote NDIS driver gets the yellow device failure icon next to it. Deleting that and rescanning, or updating the driver gets it back to the storage driver and the drive mounts.
I did not need to have USB Debugging enabled, as that simple enables the ADB interface. It did not impact how tethering worked.
So there seems to be a problem with switching between the two drivers. Like there should be a device ID change to allow 2 separate drivers to exist in Windows. I have posted this issue in the CynogenMod forums for the HT One XL.
I'm on Windows 8.
I tested this out on a fresh flash of CM10 with everything left as default. No backups restored etc. See the same behaviour.
I have raised a ticket with CynogenMod on their Google Code site. Issue 6857. I can't post links yet.
Please vote on it if you are having the same issue.
Thanks!
Wow, super sleuth! I too have a Telstra HOXL. Your instructions were bang on, I've got USB tethering working but only after removing the mass storage device.
Hopefully they get on this and fix it quick - seems straightforward enough. Might be an issue only affecting the Telstra HOXL, maybe because we have the extra storage NAND.
So anyone figure out a permanent fix for this?
hey, sorry for the "necro" but i just wanted to say that i had this same issue with htc doubleshot on cm9/10 and that a fix/workaround is just to set a different idProduct for rndis in the init.usb.rc inside the ramdisk
that way windows will see them as totally different devices and there will be no need to driver swap anymore
I am almost getting to the point of blowing this entire thing off out of pure RAGE. WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD!
Now where to start...
My LG Optimus V via Virgin Mobile has been having every problem in the book lately. I have retrieved a new one from Virgin itself, so that should take care of the problems with calling and whatnot.
However, there are a few pretty major problems with the old one. Okay, QUITE a few.
Here is a list of my old phone's problems:
SD card slot will not read anything
Phone will not connect to computer via USB
Phone's Bluetooth is not recognized by computer ("Unable to get Bluetooth FTP Remote Folder content. Please check that your device is turned on and working properly.")
Phone will at times say my memory is almost full when at other times it says there are 8 more megabytes left
Phone's keypad will disappear in-call and will not return, making it impossible to check voicemail or dial extensions
I have installed the drivers direct from LG. I have tried booting in recovery. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling those drivers. I have tried booting/rebooting with all kinds of random patterns to the point that my headache has amplified. I have tried to hack the connection settings with an SQLite app. I don't even see an option for USB connections except debug mode. I have tried Bluetooth through Total Commander. Absolutely nothing I find is working to get me anywhere.
For the record: My computer is an ASUS laptop with an i7 processor and Windows 7. I have tried this same USB cord with my previous phone (a Samsung Captivate that also has issues) and it works fine. Also, my phone charges through the USB port, but it isn't recognized by my computer.
Given this entire list of problems, there are a few things that are suddenly becoming impossible to do since the backup routes are blocked off. Firstly, I want to transfer my data to my new phone so it's like nothing happened. Now, this is more a "want" than "need" but it certainly would be nice. Therefore, I need to get my USB setup working. I have Googled extensively for answers... and haven't found any that work. Which is ridiculous because I feel like I'm in an extreme minority... because the answers are working for others.
Eventually, I unpack ADB and...

Great. Just bleeping great.
Second, I need to unroot my phone before sending it to Virgin. I don't want to get in trouble with them. So once I have my data backed up, I need to work on reverting the phone to stock - a factory reset and an unroot. That is impossible without being able to connect to my PC. Like... I have these saved but can't start the operation:

http://androidforums.com/optimus-v-...uide-100-stock-lg-optimus-v-all-versions.html
See, I have found plenty of answers for each individual problem, but everything tends to overlap. I have completely confused myself. I am getting a headache from all of this new terminology to me and all of these different answers...
The first step should be trying to figure out why the phone isn't connecting to the computer. That may resolve a slew of other issues and allow me to run ADB. But I'm fully prepared for that not to get me anywhere.
What can I do? Where should I begin? Is there anything that's even possible with this mess? Anything to go on would be greatly appreciated! And feel free to ask me any questions you have about it - I will do my best to answer
you mentioned that your phone is rooted, and I suppose that you have recovery, so try this, connect phone to pc trough usb, boot into recovery, go to mounts and mount usb and see if your phone is recognized by pc(try LGMDP and if it does, update it, but you must have ADB enabled in phone settings development) and pop up the window with sd card content

Booting into recovery and doing that got me this:
E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
I couldn't mount "system" either. Well... maybe I did, but it didn't do anything?
Great. Just great. I am lost and confused like a little puppy dog right now... :/

I'm having a pretty strange issue with my Nexus 5 in that it no longer shows up on my Windows 7 desktop or Windows 8 laptop (both of which worked perfectly before).
I don't just mean that I can't see it in "My Computer", but it literally shows up nowhere. Not in the device manager (not even as Asus/Acer or any other funky name)... there's just no trace of it.
It doesn't show up on "adb devices" whether booted into the ROM (CM11) or recovery, and it doesn't show up on "fastboot devices" either.
But in spite of all this, it charges via USB without an issue. It almost seems like a hardware issue of some kind, but I'm hoping it isn't.
If anyone has experienced something similar or could offer any suggestions that would be great.
Thanks.

If it's on multiple computers, it's either your phone USB port or the cable. Have you tried another cable?

I used different cables as the two computers are in different locations. So looks like the phone is busted... but I'm baffled as to how this would suddenly happen, especially since it charges without a problem.
It isn't busted, the drivers have gone mad... Follow THIS guide, and it'll fix it. I had the same issue as did some other people.
Even though your's isn't showing as another device, it'll be there somewhere hidden.

Mine didn't show up on my Desktop or Laptop randomly either, on two out of three Nexus devices. A random anomaly.
EDIT: It's possible Windows updates have done it. I've had a few on both machines lately also.
@radicalisto, thanks for your suggestions. The problem is that there is nothing appearing in the device manager at all that I can use to install drivers. At least not on my Windows 7 desktop.
I'm going to check again on Win 8.1 (laptop) when I get home this evening, but from what I remember when I checked over the weekend, there was no joy there either.
I managed to force-install the Google USB drivers for "Android ADB Interface" and "Android Composite ADB Interface" (which are the ones I always used before), and this is what I get for both of them:

OP, did you find a solution? I'm having the exact same problem.
install Wugfresh's nexus root toolkit, follow the instructions on the "full driver installation guide"
i guess its the micro usb port at fault though its charging theres a possibilty thats its gone bad
I tried that! But when I plug the device, absolutely nothing happens. No device is detected. The phone simply starts charging as if it was connected to a wall charger.
Thanks for all the responses guys, I have come to the conclusion the port is faulty. I took the phone apart and reseated all the ribbon cables, cleaned out the inside of the USB port with a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol, and when I turned it back on and plugged it in, I successfully got a USB connection -- for about 30 seconds! After that it stopped working again, and sometimes would show up on my PC as a malfunctioned USB device. Charging still works fine, and the USB device did work for 30 seconds (so that pretty much rules out it being a motherboard problem) so I'm pretty sure it's a port issue.
I'm going to buy a replacement USB port one of these days (available on eBay, Amazon, etc) and replace it and see if that works. I will report back when I eventually do (not for at least a few weeks though).
In the meantime if anyone else wants to try to do it themselves also, here is a really nice video guide:
Quick update: I think I managed to fix it... so far it's been working for a few minutes even with jiggling the plug around.
How? By using a needle. First I want to add a disclaimer that using a metal needle probably isn't the best idea since obviously it can lead to short circuiting inside the device (use a plastic or wooden toothpick instead, to be safe). I used the needle tip to scrape each individual metal contact terminal inside the USB port. I had to do this quite a few times for each port before it started working, so I'm guessing a very stubborn piece of grime or dirt somehow got in the way of one or more of the terminals, which blocked the plug connecting with the port properly.
Anyway, for you guys having the same problem, give it a try. Metal would obviously be the best choice in terms of the amount of force you can scrape with but to be safe, choose plastic, since it probably won't bend and fray like a wooden one.
I can transfer from the P7P to my Windows 10 computer but cannot figure out how to do the reverse.
You can't just copy and paste when you have your phone connected to the PC?
Anyway, maybe try Nearby Share.

I admit I didn't look at the speed, but I regularly send files to my PC or vice versa from my PC to my P7P and it is almost instantaneous.
Really fast
I read the news report about Nearby Share Beta for Windows Release...
It's a beta release. I don't do betas. To me, a beta release is nothing but bugs and trouble, and being neither a cellphone nor a computer geek, I don't need the aggravation.
Also, I haven't started to figure out Blue Tooth.
It appears that I therefore won't be able to copy files to my P7P but...
somewhere along the line my P7P has a photo that I must have transferred from my PC, so I need to take a look at that.
Sounds like your cord or port isn't working correctly, try a different cord and/or port. This happened to me and I just plugged into a different port and never had a problem since.
I finally figgered out how to transfer files back and forth between my computer and the P7P. Then I wrote down the exact procedure so I won't forget.
And you're not going to share what worked, in case someone else has a similar problem?
Oops - forgot the procedure
I wanted to include images in this, but I haven't gotten that far with my P7P yet. So here is how I set my P7P up and how I transfer photos back and forth:
TRANSFERING FILES BETWEEN COMPUTER AND PIXEL 7
Configure the P7P:
Turn the phone and the computer on.
Using a 24-pin USB-C cable, connect the P7P to any USB-2 or USB-3 port on the computer. Be sure all 24 connector pins are present at each end of the cable. Not all USB-C cables have 24 wires. If the computer does not have a USB-C connector, use a USB-C to USB-2 adapter.
From the P7P Home screen, tap "Settings". A "Settings" menu should appear.
Tap "Connected devices". A "Connected devices" menu should appear.
Under "Other devices", tap "USB /file Transfer". If "USB - Charging this device" appears, you can tap that. A USB Preferences menu appears with "USB" centered on the next line.
NOTE: "USB File transfer" may appear instead of "USB - Charging this device". In that case, just tap "USB File transfer".
A "USB Preferences" menu should appear.
Under "USB controlled by" tap "This device". Under "Use USB for", tap "File transfer / Android Auto".
Now open Windows Explorer on the computer. You should see "Pixel 7" or "Pixel 7 Pro" and a cellphone icon along with the drive list. You can now transfer files using the following procedure.
Transfer the Files:
Start the computer, open Windows Explorer, connect the USB-C cable to the computer, and start the P7P. You should hear the usual "bloop-de-bloop" from the computer, and the P7P's Home screen should appear.
In Windows Explorer, double-click the blue "Pixel 7 Pro" icon. A menu should appear and you can now move/copy files back and forth.
I transfer between Windows Explorer and "Pixel 7 Pro\Internal shared storage\DCIM".
If you enable developer options you can set default usb to file transfer and skip a few steps.
