usb device not recognized

[poxine]

When I connect to my computer it pops up "USB device not recognized"
No options come up to mount the sd card on my phone
ive tried factory reseting but that didnt fix it.
when i plug my brothers droid in his connects just fine.
and when i try to connect mine on other computers the same error comes up.
ive tried the uninstall drivers so they reinstall themselves that didnt work either
yes ive restarted my computer and my phone still no luck
ive read about this in other post from other websites but people just take their phone into the store and get a new one.
I dont have that option

same problem and did work until yesterday 6/21/10

My droid is doing the same thing. When plugged into same USB port I used previously with success I now get the USB Device not recognized. In addition the phone will not charge with the USB when it previous did. If I turn the Moto Droid off and then plug it in the white LED comes on but the phone does not.. When i turn the phone on the LED goes out and I get no notifications on the phone that it is connected or charging.

I have version 2.1 update1 ( I dont remember seeing the 'update1' portion before but have had the 2.1 for weeks? could this be a problem with some auto update that I didn't know even happened? I am using a comp with windows XP pro with all the updates up to date. Also use Symantec Antivirus and update and run daily.

I've done some searching, and it appears that other users on this thread have had similar problems. It ended up with them taking their phones to the verizon store and getting a replacement phone. Might be the easiest solution =/

not so easy.. hours I work don't give me time to get my a verizon store.. i did email them online (thats how I ordered the phone)..

couple more things.. I turned phone off and plugged in to see if it would charge (it didn't) but when I turned it on when still usb connected I got a black screen with the following:

bootloader
2C.6C

Battery OK
OK to program
Transfer Mode:
USB


In addition.. my wifes phone (same) did not charge last night either so I am wondering if this a an update problem and not a phone problem.

Another option is to just call them, they have longer hours and will most likely agree to send you a replacement.

As for the screen, that's a boot loader screen. (though i'm surprised it would show up on accident, you normally have to press UP on the directional pad while it's booting.)

It might be an update thing, but 2.1 update-1 is the same thing that everyone else is on. I can't help you for certain there.
If both phones are acting in similar manners, perhaps it is the computer you are plugging it in to? Just a thought.
Good luck

Try using a different physical USB port on the computer, sometimes Windows will decide randomly that some ports won't work with some devices anymore.
XP was especially bad with that for me.

I use the computer USB but my wife does the wall charger .. neither is charging. I also have a seidio docking station and it didn't work at first.. but I took the battery out and back in and it did charge last night.

phone was closed when the boot screen came up.. no way to push the directional button.

I guess I will have to call them.

Thanks for trying though!
