Device not connecting to windows mobile device center

see the topic. Any ideas? Is there a way to connect it? It's connect to my pc, and I have it installed but other than move files onto my storage card I can't do anything else.

you need to connect in active sync mode and not disk drive mode to connect to device centre.
it gives the option when usb is plugged in

This may not be the solution but i had a similar problem, i messed about with some settings before i used WMDC, goto Start/settings/connections/usb to pc
and check ur settings, i had it set to Disk Drive, when i set it to Active sync and enabled faster data syncronisation, it all started working..
slp

How come I cannot connect to my PC using the USB?

I currently have Froyo 2.2 on my HD2 and I am having fun with it.
However, I whenever I connect the phone to my PC using the USB connection, I can never see my phone connect to the PC.
I go to my computer and I don't see any new drive. I can easily do this with WinMo 6.5.
I need to transfer files from my computer to my phone but I cannot make the connection. Please help.
Is there some time of setting that I have to do?
I went to setting -->> Connect to PC --->> Default connection type --->> and I chose Disk Drive but it still does not work.
The options that I have are:
Charge Only
HTC Sync
Disk Drive
USB Tethering
I think I tried all 4 of the options but I still cannot connect my phone to my PC using the USB cable.
Please help.

you can go to market and search for this app(automount),then set it to auto mount when USB connected...then you should see your device on your PC...but you are unable to direct copy files to the device,it'll corrupt...
The most reliable way to copy file from pc to android now is install this software...Android explorer which allows drag and drop...everything...click here
download and install it...hey mate,next time please don't create a thread because of 1 question,try to ask in the thread of your build or search...
Cheers..that definitely will help you..

[Q] PC won't recognice my Wildfire.

My PC won't find my Wildfire. The problem I have is that it recognices my phone as a "unknown usb device" and I won't be able to transfer stuff between the SD-card and the PC (very annoying as I can't really move music).
I'm running Cyanogen Mod (the stable released 12th of december but had this problem for a while now). It's rooted with unrevoked and the HBOOT usb drivers won't work (reinstalled vista on my pc).
So what should I do?

When you plug your wildfire in, up in the top left hand corner(on the notification bar) you should see two little icons pop-up, One will be telling you that you have connected your phone to a power source and it is now charging, the other allows you to turn on usb file transfer.
Drag down you notification bar and click the one that says something like "file transfer" and it should open a new window... there should be a button at the bottom of the page which allows you to toggle the file transferring on and off, remember to turn it off before you take your phone out, or it will bug the next time and you'll have to reboot your phone and your pc to get it working
Hope this helps,
note* if this doesn't work there is a driver you can download which might make it recognise it, but I believe the above solution should work for you!
Edit:
If you still can't find it i'll upload a screenshot when I get home

try installing the hboot drivers again.
that solved it for me when my phone wouldn't be recognised, funny thing was it stopped recognising after i was charging my auntie's ipod. LOL

I would reinstall the drivers but it doesn't show up as a "Android Device" (or what it's called) in device manager.
I don't even have HBOOT USB as an option on the bootscreen. (with the USB plugged in)
UPDATE: Installed and uninstalled HTC Sync to get the drivers. Still an unknown usb device on which I can't install the special HBOOT drivers and still no HBOOT USB on boot screen even when plugged in.

If your phone is rooted, HTC sync could be your problem.

Had the same problem.
This is how I solved it, from the HTC support page:
Tips 1:
If you cannot see the HTC Sync option when you connect your phone to the computer via USB, please follow the
Instructions below:
1. Make sure you select USB Debugging in Settings > Applications > Development before connecting your phone to the computer
2. Connect you Phone to the PC and wait 20 seconds for your phone to install HTC Sync on your phone.
3. Unplug the USB sync cable. Wait for 5 seconds. Reconnect the Phone to the PC using the USB cable.
4. Select “HTC sync” and wait for HTC Sync to recognize your Phone. This process could take up to a minute your first
time connecting to the computer.

Or just install pdanet on both computer and phone, it will automatically install the drivers too. After that you can easily uninstall pdanet from both computer and phone, the drivers will stay installed.

hello, I had the same problem, cm since I upgraded to, I can not sync my windows with wildfire, and I found an alternative way to synchronize your PC and the wildfire MyPhoneExplorer excellent! really good!

I'm having the same problem, I can't access my Wildfire through my PC.
My PC recognizes the device but I can't access the SD-Card as it says 'Please insert a disk'. It's just charging, no option to establish a connection to the disk drive.
I tried several things, including the USB-debug mode which didn't work out. With MyPhoneExplorer I have a connection to my phone (can see calls, messages and memory status) but when I want to view the files on my SD-Card it pops up an error message saying "OBEX protocol couldn't be initalized! Phone didn't answer'.
Please help me how to connect my Wildfire again!

OK, i somehow figure it out by myself:
all I had to do is rebooting my device, after that everythings is working just fine! Thanks for nothing

You should have tryed that before asking. It's common sense.

did you installed the tattoo's drivers? have you tried the usb connection software (must be set to usb storage)?

yes i did al of those things but it doesn't work i even did reinstal the drivers and htc sync

Check following path to set if you have already selected some thing by default
uncheck it.
Menu > Settings > Connect to PC > Select Ask me option
Then go to launcher and selected USB to PC
If it says Disk drive then select HTC Sync and Select Ask me option and click Done
when it prompts to choose quickly select disk drive and click OK (you have to be fast here other wise phone would go to htcsync)
If it goes to htc sync cancel and try to change again to sdcard/usbstorage and see if it prompts. or change again to htcsync and try again
I had bad experience with earlier donut builds where it is not easy to connect to PC
If you have already done this and not working then you could access sdcard via recovery

the last tip doesn't work for me neither???
does anyone knows a other solution so i can update my tattoo with htc sync?

Can you explain a bit more on what you did and what happened.
That would help people to understand what is happening.
By the way i have update my previous post with exact menu ( i had to go back to 1.6 rom for a while).
Can you also change you usb cable and see if it helps (if you can borrow from some one)
All the best

I have possible answer
if u have adw launcher / launcher pro create custom shortcut activity> setting> SD card on homescreen connect usb click shortcut enable usb mass storage
ur phone attached on pc if not tell me what happened

As rallapag (almost?!) said, i used to connect it to PC, then enter the app drawer and find that app with a logo showing a light blue screen, maybe called USB to PC. Enter it and select HTC sync.

HTC Click as external disk

When HTC is connected to USB, my pc dont see it. I must first set HTC Sync in PCconnection.apk and then set as external disc in PCconnection.apk. Why my pc dont see HTC Click directly? I use Windows 7. THX a lot for advice.

Try to enable USB storage from statusbar.

1)Update Windows 7 to SP1 using WINUPDATE...
(OR)
2)Reinstall HTC Sync on your PC or use drivers from adb.
(OR)
3)When you connect your Tattoo to ur comp and it asks connection type- choose HTC Sync, then disconnect your phone from your comp and reconnect it and choose USB Drive when it asks again. You should see it as a USB drive in MY computer.

I installed new ROM-TolgaMOD, version 2.2.1 and when HTC Tattoo is connected to pc, everythig works. Thx for ur posts.
