[Q] HTC Desire HD Charging with USB but no USB Connection

[Dekkzter]

As my topic says, when plugging in the USB to the computer the phone starts charging, but no USB connection to the actual computer. I tried with debugging on and off, tried with several ROMs but nothing changes it.

I tried to connect another phone thorugh the cable and that works fine so i know its not the cable thats the problem.

The version im running now:

Baseband version: 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M2
Kernel Version:2.6.32.39-cyanogenmod-g99f1050
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7.0.3.DesireHD


Anyone got any idea and wanna help me?

goto setting>Connect to PC> and make sure "Ask Me" is ticked.

Im guessing that it doesnt ask you what you want to do and the phone by default charges i.e "Charge Only"

Do you not even get the icons in the notification bar?

If you're using Windows, have you got the drivers installed (sorry, I don't use windoze so I am unsure if you need them for this but seems to be a common issue)?

[EDIT] Or what he says above : o )

Well i have tried both doing "adb shell" with debugging on and then it says "Device not found", and tried to mount is as an USB disk to the computer and nothing happens.

I get the USB icon in the notification bar, but thats all. Yes, i have tried both with windows drivers and without (Cause it wanna install the drivers when they arent there), but nothing happens either way.

I even tried the phone to another computer and its the same there.. no reaction, so i think it´s something in the phone or kernel?

 

[Mr_JMM]

You could try reflashing the ROM without a full wipe (wipe Cache though). I doubt it's an inherent bug with ROM / Kernel otherwise there would be a flood of similar posts (checked nightlies as well).

 

[Dekkzter]

I have already tried that with 3 different roms and its the same with all 3 roms

 

[Mr_JMM]

I have already tried that with 3 different roms and its the same with all 3 roms

So that rules out problems with ROM or Kernel.
Next, need to rule out PC. Have you got another PC or laptop you can try?

Have you tried different USB ports (if using front ones, use back or any others that are on a different MB header).

Forgot to ask, when you say you tried mounting as USB Disk, do you mean you do get the option if you press the Charge Only icon in the notification bar of the phone?

And also, to rule out the SD card, do you have a card reader you can try it with?

Yes, I have tried 2 laptops and 1 stationary pc.

Tried all 3 ports on my laptop, gonna try 2 more in my stationary when i get home

Forgot to ask, when you say you tried mounting as USB Disk, do you men you do get the option if you press the Charge Only icon in the notification bar of the phone?

Yes.. thats how i tried to mount it as an usb disk... i have tried mounting it in Clockwork Recovery Mod aswell... nothing there either :/

 

[Mr_JMM]

Not looking good!!

Last hope then is that it's a problem with the sdcard itself. Do you have a card reader on any of your pc's / laptop you can try?

 

[Dekkzter]

Nope, no card reader. But i can send stuff to the phones sd card through wifi using myphoneexplorer

How can i install stock rom and kernel through clockwork? Or any way without having usb connection?

Unless the ROM you want is listed in ROM Manager and the Kernel in Kernel Manager (neither of which are fantastically up to date) then you will need to either find another way to get them on your SDCard or visit the the XDA site in a browser or XDA App, find the files you want and download them directly to your phone via the ether. You should then move them to the root of the sdcard and use Terminal Emulator to check the MD5SUM of the file before flashing.

 

[Dekkzter]

well.. getting the files to the sd card is no big problem using myphoneexplorer over the wifi at home. but where can i find the stock rom with any mods that i can put on the sd and flash with clockwork mod?

Which stock ROM are you looking for? If it's the stock HTC OTA Gingerbread one them here - http://www.iloveabath.co.uk/index.php?dir=RUUs/
(Thanks go to @andyharney for that).
You mention stock with mods? Could you expand on that one and I'll get yo a link to the most appropriate ROM that suits?

Off topic: MyPhoneExplorer is great. Been using it since my early Sony Ericsson days - the original phone it was designed for, I believe.

 

[Dekkzter]

Thanks alot mate!!

Only problem is that its and exe and i guess i have to use the usb to install those? :S

I meant Stock without mods ofcourse

I will check into that and install stock... i´ll update this thread with what i´ll try and how it works...

There's a PD98IMG version of an UNROOTED (you will lose root again) the Gingerbread ROM, give me a few minutes and I'll see if I can find it.

[EDIT] Sorry, a PD98IMG will allow you to copy to sdcard root, reboot into Bootloader and it will flash automatically.

[EDIT 2] - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13329691&postcount=96
They're Megaupload links though but you should be able to access them in browser. Take first link, rename it to PD98IMG.zip

Small Print: You do this at your own risk.

 

[Dekkzter]

Thanks again.. will read up and see if i´ll do it

Hey guys

My first post

So i'm having the same problem. tried everything.
Any possible rom and nothing helps.

even the PD98IMG didn't help...

gave it back to the store, lets see what they have to say about it.
gotta wait a week or two

 

[nkcr]

have u try to flash the RUU?

 

[adilnel]

How?

I need a cable connection for that

 

[Mr_JMM]

I need a cable connection for that

"Need" or "would have needed"?

Has the phone gone yet or still in your possession?
