I ran into the same problem and received DOC files from Blueant which helped (they weren't perfect). I've attached a zip file of the doc file for you to try. Just unzip and take a look-see.
hmm
thanks for the doc. is my device supposed to be auto installing the software when i connect it holding down the vol + button?..i think this is whats causing my problem bc im still unable to properly install this upgrade
ugh
im beginning to think that this software isnt comp. with x64 bit systems..lol
Once you get it right (Device Manager, etc.), it auto-installs after running the EXE from your PC. 64-bit Vista might be a gotcha. While Blueant takes a couple days to respond via email, they have been fairly thorough, at least with me. You might be better served by calling them.
I'm running Vista 32-bit, but following the Vista instructions on their site I was able to get mine set up to update without a problem. Not sure if it's different for x64 though.

Well, during my initial firmware upgrade, I was getting a BFU mode error. "Firmware upgrade could not be controlled. The device may still be processing a previous request." Their response was to provide me with that doc, stating that it was different from what was found on the web. Maybe they updated the web instructions or you had someone looking over you...

Some good info..
No help yet..
I need to figure out what is wrong with the INF file to make XP 64 not accept it.
I tried the Vista Hack.. but that didn't work..
I Made One.
After no answers on this subject.
I read up on what has changed for Windows XP x64 drivers.
I modified the INF file to work.
I have attached the file if anyone needs it.
I am not sure if this will work for Windows 2003 Server x64 or not..
But I think it does as well.
Is there anywhere else I should post this or upload it to?
Thanks,

Vista x64 version?
This is the closest I've had to anything working on Vista x64 - at first it gave the same "file not found" error as in the 32 bit version, so I tried the Vista hack that works for 32 bit (and a few variations thereof), but the best I can get it installs but says "This driver is not intended for this platform", and obviously does not work :/ Anyone have any more ideas on this one? This would get me one more step to wiping out that XP 32bit partition!

I can probably get one to work for Vista X64 as well..
I just need a little time to read up on it.
I have been tempted to install it.. Any thoughts?
I installed SP1 on the shift when SP1 first came out, and had problems with connectivity. I set the computer back to out of box condition and never re-installed SP1.
I see a lot of updates for the Shift from HTC now. If I install the updates, is it safe to install SP1?
Thanks!
I have no problem with SP1, but I work in high performance mode.
yes you can ,
so far , i do not have any problem, plus since i installed all htc patches my sd card work well even after hibernation with wifi enabled
I installed SP1 post updating the Drivers from the HTC website this weekend and have faced no problems.
I have also updated with no major issues unless for the Bluetooth that is not accepting the current driver, however I can still make bluetooth connections and it seems to work fine without an updated driver.
I was installing all of the new drivers in the specified order and got down to the touch screen driver and never could find the folder that contained the touchscreen driver exe file that your supposed to run.
Anyone give me a little info that will help me here?

Well I was unable to figure this out with Google so I figured I would ask here. When I initially tried to use Modem Link on my LG Incite CT810, It downloaded a bunch of drivers (well, i think they were actually related to ActiveSync.) Now I load the phone in and ActiveSync works, but if i disconnect from ActiveSync and start Modem Link, it tries to download yet another driver (CT810 USB Serial Modem) and does not find it. I tried looking this driver up on Google to no avail as mentioned above.
Does anyone know anything? I did download some drivers but none of them have worked as of yet. I really hope this issue is solvable. Well thanks for reading at least.
I'd like an answer to this one too... i tried it, and i got the exact same problems. Does anyone know how to use this??
I believe I have found my problem; that I am using x64 Windows Vista. Since then, I installed Windows 7 x64 and PDAnet. Things work great, I'll likely buy PDAnet and just use that. I doubt that there will ever be a Modem Link driver for x64.
However, if there's anymore value to add to this thread, then feel free, i'd be happy to know.
Btw, if you use 64-bit Windows and you want to try out PDAnet, you're probably going to make the mistake of getting the wrong version. I was fully aware that i was running 64-bit windows and somehow managed to miss it twice... maybe I'm just slow. Anyway, here it is:
64-bit PDANet for Windows Mobile Devices
But thanks to those who read this at least. Hope this helps for anyone looking for a solution.
Hello,
I've been googling around for a workaround but I cannot seem to find one that actually works. The problem is, when I try to connect my phone to the PC and, for example, want to flash it with an official rom - it simply cannot find it. It can find the SD card when I mount it.
When I put it in, Windows attempts to install a few drivers but fails at the ADB. According to several sites, I can just use the one from HTC Sync or from the Android SDK. It installs fine but it still doesn't seem to be able to contact my phone. I cannot sync it either.
Anyone got an idea? I seem to be on my last nerve.
I dont have any problems here. What windows beta release do you use?
Final version. Released today. It's Windows 7 Professional.
First, set the phone to debugg mode...
Ok here we go (at least it works for me)...
1.- Remove the drivers actuaslly installed (it might get tricky, as I don't know exactly how to remove the registry keys)
2.- Once you have cleaned windows from the drivers, connect the phone to the computer and let it recognize everything (Probably it would not recognize the ADB drviers, so far we are good)
3.- After the drivers are installed, go and check in control panel/Devices Administration (or something like that... I have Windows in spanish so I don't know exactly how is called on english... By the way, sorry if my english sound a little bit weird =P..)
4.- Here you should see probably a device as "not recognized" or what ever is called... Here is the part where you need to select the driver manually.
5.- Check the phone driver folder (you should have it, if you don't get them)
6.- When you see the different options, select the one called HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface
7.- You are done =D...
I hope I made it clear enough for you...
If you have any doubt, add me to MSN xnofrostx - hotmail.com (I don't put the @ because I hate spam xD so you should add only the xnofrostx =P...
Hope you can get it to work...
I couldn't, for the life of me, get it to work so I put Windows XP on a vmware and flashed it through there. Works wonders.
Sorry for not being able to help.
I run Windows 7 Evaluation copy. I have had no problems. In fact there was nothing for me to set up, it just saw it on first attempt.

I cannot sync either, when installing the sync program it gives an error but continues installation, then my phone says it cannot detect htc sync on my computer, but im gonna try this link http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/

Hi all,
It's been a while, but I am back with HD2. I have a problem. I have win7 business on all off my computers, I instaled latest activesync, but I keep getting error connection. When installing drivers, I get the unknown device, so instalation failed.
Not even bluetooth recognition works.
Any suggestions, please?

If you are using Windows 7 Business, I would guess you mean you are using Windows Mobile Device Center, yes? In Windows Device Manager are you set up to automatically download drivers? Are you getting any errors in the Sync Center? There is a lot of information you have to supply before anyone can troubleshoot the problem you are having.
There are a lot of steps you can take, most of which you can find by doing a search of XDA. If that fails, then come back with a more detailed explanation of what you have done, and people will try to help troubleshoot for you.
Thanks for looking,
and yes I have been searching a lot for information allready before I made a new thread.
I have win7 business and yes it does download drivers automaticly.
I will try and search for manual driver setup, but would be very thankful if any of you could give me some hints.

In Device Manager you can click on Portable Devices and see if you see your HD2 there, if you do, then right click on it. You can find options to manually install drivers. If that does not work, in the Mobile Device Center you can configure how the center is supposed to connect to your HD2. Have you tried that yet? Also, make sure you are not using a USB hub for connections. You can try changing USB ports to try to reinstall drivers.
I am trying hard, this is the error I get:
P.S.: in activesync all options are on, so no problems there, but I have tried all of them.
In that case, try uninstalling the device in Device Manager, and starting over again. It does seem to be a driver problem. Another trick you can try is on the HD2, under Settings, USB to PC, try unticking Enable advanced network functionality, and then try to reinstall the drivers.
Another thing you can try is deleting the partnership in Windows Mobile Device Center and creating a new partnership.
Is there a wa I could find the driver somewhere and install it myself?

In the Leo ROM forum the thread on MTTY has some Windows 7 drivers you can download I believe, but that will take awhile.
Are you using Win7 32 or 64 bit?
win7 32 bit. I tried to download them through windows update, but I got an error as well.
So I am on a quest for drivers....

If you are familiar with computers, you can try this with Win7 drivers you download for HD2.
You did try uninstalling your device in Device Manager, and trying another USB port to install it on? It seems really odd that Win7 is not finding the right drivers for you, and that persists even after you uninstall and reinstall the device.
No luck so far, any more ideas?
Update:
I tried the same thing on another laptop, same specs, same win7 business, worked like a charm.
So must be this win7 problem I think. Any ideas what to do? I can't remove mobile device center, so I could try and reinstall it. The icons stay in my control panel.
Anybody?
I just can't imagine this is only happening to me.

Did you have any luck yet in solving the problem?
Nope my dear helper,
I found out this is windows7 problem. I still get the first error can't install device driver, because the device is not installed on the computer.
Something must be wrong, but I was getting a head, network driver installed fine, windows mobile device program runs fine, I made a clean install with register delete etc...
I just can' seem to find this to work.
i had some problem the first time i plugged my HD2 on win7 64 ultim.
nothing happened, no activesync, no nothing...
i opened sync center, nothing...
windows updates found me windows mobile device center with upgrade devices, the thing installed but all still worked bad, impossible to activesync, no driver for my HD2, and i know nothing about phones and windows, it's my first windows mobile.
so after hours of fighting, i decided to DL the app windows mobile device center on microsoft download website, then i installed the thing and oh miracle, my HD2 was detected, the app Win M D Center was asking me now with the pic of my hd2 in the prog to chose between settings as the first thing installed by windows update always froze at win mob device center splash screen...
i resume here but it took me the all afternoon to finally resolve this problem.
something went wrong with windows update install and to reinstall the all app was the easy way to fix the activesync problem.
If you did already re-download Windows Mobile Device Center and that did not work on the one recalcitrant computer, maybe you might need to update your BIOS or download the latest drivers for you motherboard. Sometimes problems can crop up if the computer does not have the most updated BIOS and motherboard drivers. How old is the computer you are using?
Well, after calling microsoft support and HTC support and doing for 36 hours nothing but trying I finally reinstalled my hole system. So new clean install of windows 7 business and it works like acharm. Where did it went wrong, I don't know, there had to be some register issue I think. Windows mobile center worked ok, the connection with the phone worked, but just not recognizing the device. Well I would of done the instalation sooner, If I knew this one is gonna be so hard to do.

Well, glad you finally solved your problem, and that this time the blame was not just placed on HTC or the Leo. Sad though that you had to go through so much to get the darn thing to work. I just installed a new operating system for my neighbor, and there is still more work to do on it. Not a fun thing to do.
