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/

LOL, Windows 7 is a damn nice release and a lot faster than both xp and vista compared to the hardware available at the moment off release.
i am also using windows 7 beta and final
no issues at all. and i also think, that win7 is really good piece of software. far superious to win xp
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?
Not beeing able to find the right one...

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.
I am really looking for a HSPL.cab if one exists anywhere, if not i would be grateful if someone (more clever-a than me) could make one.
Apart from the options of installing away from PCs I dont actually use windows / activesync on any of my machines (they are all linux), and as such I am pretty limited without .cab installs.
Thanks for the help, heres hoping!
You can install VirtualBox @ your distro and map USB port do Virtual Machine running Windows XP and ActiveSync.
Regards,
True, but its a fair amount of effort to go through just to get 1 app on my fone for this one time. I also was hoping a .cab might be useful for a few other people.
If there isnt the interest i guess i will have to go down he virtual box route and dig out my old windows xp cds.

hspl is not a "program", for what i know
you don't install this on running OS
it overwrite boot sector
then no chance i think

Its not an 'app' and you certainly cant install it via a cab. It can only be done via the methods explained in my flashing thread and can only be done via activesync (windows xp or windows7 32bit preferred).
If you cant manage to do it that way then im afraid you cant install HardSPL.
The effort is well worth it if you want to be able to protect your phone and want to flash custom roms

Nice idea, sadly it hangs/stops working just after the phone restarts to the bootloader screen. I guess it could have been worse, it could have hung about 1min in to the instal and bricked my phone.
I think im going to have to resort to using windows this once.
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!

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.
Hi,
I am trying to install my first ROM but none of the drivers are working for me, I have Win7 64bit is that the reason why? Does anyone know a work around as I don't have access to a 32bit version
Would be great if someone could help as I'm dying to get my first rom on this phone!
Thanks
it also says when I try to flash that rapi.dll is missing, however I have searched around and it is apparently in either ActiveSync or WMDC however I cannot find either of these that work on Win7 64bit
So install x86 version in second partition (dual boot), then you will be certain that everything will work.
I have x86 not x64 so I can not guarantee :/

don't actually open it it just installs what you need.
unrar and place the rapitools in the same folder as the rom installer.

Hey not a problem I have seen this asked in several threads and pretty much all the answers was just install Win 32bit instead. For me that was not a option to basically lose most of my functionality just to use one program. Either it works at a friends, I find my own solution , or it was just a screw it guess I ain't flashing.
