Im not sure if this has been discussed or not but im trying to provide internet to my computer via usb modem but when I try to connect to my computer after activating modem link it just detects as a generic serial device rather then a modem. my friend was using it last night and it worked fine on his computer. Only difference between the two is Im running windows 64bit. is that the problem or is it something else.
No one else has had an experience like this on windows 64 bit edition? It detects the phone as a "generic serial" and will not install correctly. Any work arounds or updated drivers?
I'd say Google for a 64bit driver for the "HTC USB Modem" that modem link creates, my quick search was unfruitful though.
The problem with Windows 64bit is you need 64bit drivers. Most companies aren't writting them simply because the number of people using Windows 64bit isn't large enough.
The pain of being an early adopter is starting to set in eh?

First post so be gentle
I've searched past posts and found similar questions but not many answers
I was happy using my mda vario 2 via usb to my mce laptop
I purchased vista ultimate on release date and since then haven't been able to connect via usb.
I'm currently using it via bluetooth but would prefer my usb back
Has t-mobile released an updated usb driver for vista yet ?
I take it that you have downloaded the Active Sync for Vista 4.5
Once you have this downloaded, when you first connect your device it will install all the new drivers and carry out the process of setting up the syc data.
I hope that this will help you in some way

P.S. Search Microsoft.com for active sync for vista

Vista uses WMDC, not activesync.......
You don't need Active Sync 4.5 in Vista, you need Windows Mobile Device Center, its already available thru Windows Update or website
will WMDC allow you to run RUU programs from this forum, or do I still need to figure out the whole usbser.sys thing? I'm pretty savvy, but I'm still a bit confused on this point.
i have the Windows Mobile Device Center software.
I'm wanting to use the mda as a modem on my laptop so i need a usb driver.
The usb driver included on the install disc is for xp only and isnt compatible with vista.
Is that correct or have people have got it working ?
thanks in advance for any help
I can't even get my device to be reconnized by Vista anymore. WMDC doesnt detect it at all...
To install the modem drivers for vista, edit the usbmdm file like so adding
"include=mdmcpq.inf" in these three sections.
[Modem1.NT]
DriverVer=05/13/1999
include=mdmcpq.inf
CopyFiles=FakeModemCopyFileSection
AddReg = All, MfgAddReg, Modem1.AddReg, Voice, EXTERNAL, MDMGL007.V90_Voice,MDMGL004.ExtraCID,MDMGL001.TerseResp
[Modem1.NT.Services]
include=mdmcpq.inf
AddService=usbser, 0x00000000, LowerFilter_Service_Inst
[Modem1.NT.HW]
include=mdmcpq.inf
AddReg=LowerFilterAddReg
For the RUUs, you have to replace the WMDC drivers with the old ActiveSync ones; there's a thread on that somewhere. As for the USB modem, I would recommend switching to a WM6 ROM - it no longer uses the weird modem drivers, it just appears as a network device automatically, at least in XP, but I would assume Vista has that driver built in because XP does.
Setup: Stock Cingular 8125 WM5, Vista Home Premium 32bit
I've had no problem with in the past getting my Cingular 8525 to tether with any XP machine. However, Vista is proving to be even more worthess than XP as I imagined it would. WMDC works fine a side from it too being even more worthless than it's predecessor, as I can't even remote sync over a secure VPN anymore.
I have read and installed the drivers located both:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288753
and
http://www.terranettech.net/DisplayPg.aspx?codeid=1128
Neither works solution...
With WMDC disabled I activate the Wireless Modem connection. Vista detects a new USB device at that point and starts looking for a driver.
It comes back saying it could not find a driver, and I click a button to specifically tell it what driver to use. I've tried both drivers listed in both URLs. Neither are accepted. I'm told "The folder specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device."
For the record, the driver on the CD didn't work either (different message, something along the lines of "failed to install driver").
If I go into Device Manager and "Update Driver" (no driver is installed, Update is used whether no driver yet or really updating) and let Vista try to find it itself it says "The best driver for your device is already installed.", which is "Unknown Device".
Any ideas? I've seen people claiming they got their 8525 to tether with Vista using the modified driver. On my end it does not work though.
No ideas? Is there another place I should post this instead?
this may help
For anyone having trouble getting their laptop to recognize the 8525 as a modem this may be the solution.
http://www.terranettech.net/DisplayPg.aspx?codeid=1128
my phone was working fine but when I tried to set my wife's up to tether it wouldn't show new hardware found when plugged in and when I tried to manually install the driver the process box just kinda stalled out and wouldn't go forward with the driver even though I had browsed to the right one. I had to uninstall the driver which was viewing the phone as a serial device. if you're having this trouble then try following the link above...
Ok i just got a new laptop which is loaded with the new (but crappy) microsoft vista operating system. first off let me say this, vista is an ultra headache to deal with! i dont recommend anyone using this operating system, unbuntu (linux) is way easier than vista.
anyways, back to where i was going.... my other laptop, which is loaded with windows xp, succesfully installed the usb modem drivers for the apache 6700. but whenever i try to install the same exact driver on my new laptop it says "windows cannot find the specified file"! i pointed the driver file , .inf, to the correct directory and everything. i downloaded another dialer and driver file and put it on the desktop, still windows cannot find the file even though i point windows to it (cot damn vista!).
this leads me to believe that this driver file does not work under vista. can anyone else confirm this or tell me what im doing wrong? i tried many different ways of install the driver, but vista fails. please, can anyone help me?
no body huh?
vista and dun
i too have the same problem with vista... i have read and tried several "solutions" to this but none have worked for me- my computer keeps installing a treo driver which doesnt work- funny part is i can do a BT DUN @ about 115.2kbps but if i push it too hard the phone freezes... i have been thinking about installing xp on my brand new laptop that came with vista.
Anyone figure out how to install USB drivers on Vista, mines also installs Treo Drivers on its own i can't stop it from doing that, any insight?
I am using a PPCGeeks Rom (LennySH i think) and it has an application called internet sharing. When connected with my Vista laptop the laptop uses it automatically for internet no additional drivers needed.
It also has a bluetooth setting that Vista will use to connect to a "personal area network" and your online without the cable. However the usb connection is faster.

After many hours of searching, I've found the correct Webcam driver for the Shift X9500 model (i.e. 0c45&PID_62c0). This one is tested and verified to work. Tried several others, didn't work. It is the exact same driver used on Acer Aspire notebooks. I've repackaged it for all to use. Please note, it will come up on your Device Manager as "Acer Crystal Eye webcam" -not to worry, it works perfectly! Oh, and it's actually a Sonix driver, but still no model number to download the Sonix equivalent from http://www.sonix.com
http://rapidshare.com/files/214304160/SonixShiftCamDriverXP.zip.html
Please can someone host this download somewhere else as RapidShare says its 10 downloads have been used up already
Thank you!
Why do you need these drivers? I didn't need to install any drivers for web-camera. I think XP has drivers for it. When I installed XP (SP2 and SP3) the drivers were installed automatically and it is working perfectly at least with Skype.
my camera driver was auto recognized by windows update
Ah, well I haven't got as far as any windows updates yet... I need actually to reinstall Windows anyway as the chipset driver failed to load and after about 15 different attempts to load it now, doesn't make any difference... so I have to sit for another evening waiting for WinXP to install.
On the bright side I have finally got XP to install so am hopeful about everything else working too!
I can confirm that WinXP does indeed have software for the webcam - but only with SP2 or better. Of course you need SP2 to install the rest of the XP drivers anyway as I discovered the (very) long way!
webcam driver is optional
this webcam driver is optional in case you want to see something else other than "usb webcam" in your "imaging devices" list of windows xp. it isn't needed, but just an enhancement. i've never had a problem with rapidshare, let's you download files every 15minutes, better than most other hosting sites.
Hi, I stumbled upon this post as I badly need the HTC Shift webcam driver. Do any of you still have a copy? Can you guys give me a link? Or can you point me to any direction?
An odd one....
I have one of the HD2 Android releases on my phone, and it's working fine EXCEPT....
USB tethering does not work.
Now here's the odd part.
1. I have two machines. Both running Win7/x64.
2. One loads the RNDIS driver and works fine. The other can't find the driver on Windows Update.
I have no clue what's going on, but the USB signature is VID_0bb4&PID_0FFe, which is valid for the HTC Sapphire.
And, like I said, the other machine -also running Win7 - finds it just fine.
Any ideas?
Answering my own question...
If you run into this, put this somewhere on your disk and point "Update Driver" at it.
It'll work.
Now why this was on the disk of ONE machine (which worked) and NOT the other (which did not), and why Windows Update wouldn't find it either (!!!) is unknown.
All I know is that this is the file that Windows 7 wanted, and didn't have on one of the computers - but did have on the other.
i'm running Windows 7 x64 and when i start usb tethering from android on HD2 there is Android Device driver missing in Device Manager, I've read that Windows 7 already have Remote NDIS support so no need for seperate driver download if you have Windows Mobile Device Center but it ain't working, the same problem as you had.
Luckely, your solution and this separate driver works, Windows 7 complains about unsigned driver but who cares, USB tethering is working
Thanks!
didn't work...
i attempted installing the driver OEM106.inf, but received an error once it was loaded on my pc:
"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"
i was having similar problems as Genesis trying to tether my Android phone via USB to my pc and receiving a Remote NDIS driver problem (same as above). I successfully tethered my phone to my PC once (and only once), but after I woke the computer from sleep mode, my pc began giving me errors on the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" stating that windows cannot load the drivers ("rndismpx.sys" & "usb8023x.sys"). I haven't been able to tether via USB since then.
Windows Update states the driver is up to date, and when I tried Genesis3's driver fix, it only gave me the same error.
Any ideas?
Running win7/x64 on a toshiba i3, and a HTC nexus 1 running android 2.2.2
The files referenced have somehow been damaged or destroyed. Find them from another machine and put them back, and the OEM file I posted will work.
Those two files have to be on your machine - the OEM file is the pointer to them, but the base-level drivers have to exist.
you may need the latest version of htc sync
i did all my flashing on an xp computer and when i got win7 i just could not get any drivers to work. i downloaded the latest version of htc sync and all the drivers loaded just fine. time to flash this thing again ive had the same rom for two weeks
This is what I was looking for, and it worked for me, thanks!
PISSA! Tried for a while to get usb tethering to work and this did it! Took a minute for windows to sort things out after the driver update but its working! THANK YOU!
DL DesireZ V3.4 final HD2 TMOUS

Worked like a charm, thanks! I just had to update driver with provided file and it started working. Thank you very much again! Bump may not be a bad idea, maybe few more users will solve their problems with this. HD2 isn't a native Android device, so it wasn't that strange that it didn't worked out-of-the-box even with Win7 RDNIS (or sth like that) native support.

I would like to share my solution. I modified the oem.inf file in the oem.zip(above) ,by changing the manufacturer name and device id as given in the PC 's device manager(unknown device).
It should work for xp,seven,vista.
