USB port stuck on charge only

Hey everyone, thanks for looking. I've been a long time lurker since the Apache, and now I have an EVO.

Everything is great with the phone and all but I have a problem. Anytime I connect my phone to the PC the EVO will not communicate with the PC. It will only charge and act as if I merely plugged the phone into the wall charger.

I know what you're thinking. The cable is bad or the port is physically broken right? Well if I go to the Evo's boot menu (with the android skating) and choose the HBOOT USB option or the FASTBOOT USB, the phone will communicate with the PC just fine, I can see the device on my machine and everything. This leads me to suspect its some problem with the OS.

I'm using OMJ's Custom Rom: 3.26.651.5 OMJ_EVO_2.2_Froyo_v3.0

Now you're probably thikning, its the ROM, must be a bug. Well I've tried factory resets, wiping both caches, restoring the stock rom with another reset/cache wipe. All this effort and it still won't work right.

The only beam of light I had is when I had the stock (still rooted, btw) ROM, unmounted the SD card and reset the device without remounting it with the USB cable plugged in and it worked until I unplugged the usb cable. Then it wouldn't work again.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I don't want to have to get another one, I just can't imagine what the problem is.

Thanks again for looking or any help, I know a lot of you work hard to give us nice things and I appreciate it.

I doubt it, but when you go to connect to PC, is "ask each time" checked off? If not it'll default to whatever was selected when it got unchecked

Yeah, ask each time is checked. Thanks though, I respect every reply.

When you plug in, see if you can pull down the top menu. Make sure after you select the drive option, then hit done!

Are you using the stock usb cable or a third party one? Are you on the latest .28 radio?

Both should fix this problem.

When I plug in, the charge light will come on, but thats it, no reaction from the OS.

I had a similar problem when I was rooting. I had to use ADB to fix it. It was on XDA

The USB cable I'm using is stock. I just updated my radio, but to no avail. I thought that would work too. =/

Unfortunately, ADB won't find my device.
