Default [Q] Problem Connecting via USB (AS in...just stopped doing it suddenly) Help?

Ok. So, I go to put some new music on my phone...and when I connect via USB to my laptop it says "USB Device Not Recognized"...I click on that bubble and it says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems". Bollocks.

The device is rooted and I am running TheShadowMan's KB5 DeOdexed custom ROM.

I tried three other PC's loaded with the right drivers. Deleted all the drivers and re-downloaded. Tried a different Micro-USB cable. Tried different settings in the phone. Got desperate. Tried Factory Reset. Tried Deleting all user data.

None of that crap worked.

I would just go back to stock...but since my PC isn't recognizing the phone at all...I have no way to do that. I'm almost positive it's the ROM (Or at least...it's the last thing on the list before faulty unit and sending it back in)...but I don't know how to fix that without being able to connect to a PC.

Anyone else run into this problem? Let's fix it together! YAY!


Thanks.

try a restore to your computer to an earlier date? worth a shot. I think theres a program that transfers wirelessly, you can try that. I use adb wireless from the market to run commands.

I'm 99% positive that it isn't my computer...it's obviously the phone.

I'll try the transferring info wirelessly thing...but it will be a temporary fix at best.

So...ended up talking to T-mo and doing an exchange. Still no clue what happened and they didn't really know either.

New symptom, however...

It only turns back on if the Micro-USB cord is plugged in...weird.


Anyways...feel free to leave a comment anyways...I still have the handset for 10 days and would love to try an solve the problem in case anyone else has the same problem.

Did you enable the USB debugging before? If you did, disable it and you can connect with you PC/laptop again.
