thats always a good idea to try but it doesnt always work :l
I know that on all the energy roms the clear storage from the settings section or even the shutdown app only acts as a soft reset. It doesnt actually clear anything lol
to the OP.
I know this might sound stupid, but its happened to me quite a few times after installing a new rom
The phone needs 2 sets of drivers, one set is used when the phone is on. Hence being able to charge
the other is when its off.
If the computer doesnt have the drivers for when the phone is off, then it will not recognize the device. no matter what happens when the device is on.
I know it sounds like a stupid little fix.. and your probably thinking that your computer should already have all drivers, but after flashing a rom your computer "forgets" what divers to use and simply needs to be reminded by having the phone plugged in.
first while its off (it will then download drivers and recognize the phone as an htc device)
then after it boots up (it then calls it a windows mobile device or something like that)
if I wasnt at work on a mac Id flash my phone and give the exact names for the drivers
I have windows 7 computers myself and that always solved this issue for me
