HTC Magic on Windows 7

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.

CyanogenMod 4.1.9999

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/

Sprint HTC Hero and HTC sync problem in win 7

Hey guys,
I am sure this is a topic that has come up in the past, so bear with me.
i recently got a sprint HTC hero(converted by a friend from an iphone)
i hooked it up to my pc and i can't get HTC sync or windows to recognize my phone due to the drivers bug. Windows will only recognize it as a storage device.
I am currently running Windows 7 64 home edition.
i tried the solution posted on the unlocker but have had no luck.
(new user won't let me post link lol)
any help would be great
Thanks!

After posting the above post, i decided to rework everything...
it took me a few hours but i discovered a work around for the work around that wasn't working for me lol
thanks to everyone who read the post
sorry for the waste of space :-/

and you're going to share it with us, right?

Indeed,... Let others know how to solve the issue.

Hey guys sorry it took so long for the reply, I was dealing with a family crisis and hadn't had much time to do anything.
you will have to find your sources for Sync and the drivers because i can't post links in the forum.
This is how I solved my problem:
1.Download latest specialized sync tool from HTC, namely HTC Sync 2.04 from HTC
2. Install the downloaded program on the computer. At this moment, your computer still won't recognize the HTC Hero.
3. Manually update the HTC drivers from Windows 7, using the Windows Vista drivers
by installing HTC Sync software on a machine running Windows Vista and then copying the drivers (namely androidusb.cat, androidusb.inf, androidusb.sys, htcrndis.cat, htcrndis.inf and WdfCoInstaller01007.dll in HTC Drivers folder) over to the Windows 7 machine. or you can manually download the drivers from someplace like theunlockr.
4.Extract the driver into a folder. For example, %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64 (for the Windows 7 64-bit) or %SystemDrive%:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x86 (for the Windows 7 32-bit) accordingly.
5.open devices and printers
6. right click your android phone and choose 'properties'
7. go to the "hardware" tab and again select "Properties"
8.on the general tab click"Change Settings"
9. Go to "driver" tab
10. Click "update Driver"
11. The window that pops up will ask how you want to find the driver. Be sure to select the option that allows you to browse your computer for the driver.
12. Navigate to where you saved and unzipped the driver.
13. reconnect phone
now if everything went well HTC sync should recognize your phone.
now if this doesn't work msg me and i will try and help you to the best of my abilities

I know this is a rather old post...but I have recently just switched back to the Hero after taking a trip to webOS land...I have followed these instructions to the letter, but my phone still does not show up in Devices and Printers...Do I need to be using exactly the version of HTC Sync mentioned here, or should newer versions work as well?
Also, in other places I have read, it mentions that the Hero should pop-up a notification asking to allow a connection to the computer or something...I haven't seen this...is there somewhere in an app setting that I may need to change a default value?

unrEVOked 3.1 won't connect with my Aria

I've followed the guide to a T on both a Windows 7 (launched as Admin) and on a XP machine. In both cases the program sits at "Waiting for device...".
Driver installed, USB Debugging set to on. Nothing... Happens...
Never installed Sync on either OS, nor, as far as I know, is it on my phone.
WTF?!

Install Sync.

I'm having the same problem and I have sync installed. Not sure what to do.

Hmm ok I will try installing Sync. Where do I get that from? I can't seem to find it.....

are the hboot drivers installed (different from the motorola drivers)

I followed everything exactly as it said to install the bootloaders and it won't connect to the phone. When I first tried it would connect but I didn't properly install the drivers
Sent from my HTC Liberty using XDA App

I suggest a Switch to the Linux version...
Do yourself a favor...download a "live" linux distro (Ubuntu works fine on most all hardware) and use the Linux version of Unrevoked. I went that method after several hours of frustration under Win 7...

I was having this same exact issue! The solution (as someone else mentioned) was to install HTC Sync. Then make sure you close Unrevoked (if you already didn't) and launch it using right click > Run as Administrator.
If you installed the driver properly, it should work!
Btw, when I had the driver installed (the one that Unrevoked comes with) I was still seeing an unrecognized device under Device Manager when I connected my Aria with debugging enabled. Installing HTC Sync fixes that problem.

I couldn't find HTC Sync nor could I really even find out what it was. I'm assuming it's a Windows program?
Anyway, since I couldn't find that, I downloaded the newest Ubuntu distro, ran unrevoked as sudo, and STILL does not connect. STILL says "Waiting for device..." Ran as root, USB Debugging on. This sure is a huge pain in the ass for "Painless root and reflash".....
Is there a forum specifically for this program? I'd love to get some feedback from the developers here.
EDIT:
Ok so I finally got it to work by having the phone plugged in BEFORE running the program as sudo. It was quick and painless after that! Thanks for all the help, sorry about the sarcasm, I got flustered haha.

I had issues with my Aria connecting to PC due to multiple user being logged in at once via Fast User Switching. Me, my wife, and my son are sharing same PCs, and normally all three of us are logged in, and we just switch between our profiles using Windows-L key. And when there is someone else logged on besides me, my Aria simply won't connect -- neither to Unrevoked, nor even to HTC Sync itself.
Same thing was happening to my Nike+ wristwatch before, by the way.

Please try to avoid creating new threads for topics already being discussed. For you issue, please visit the Unrevoked thread. If you cannot find the solution posted there, feel free to create a new post in the existing thread.

all i see is tether driver i want like the adb one

I think the tether drivers will work fine, because all you need is for the system to detect the phone.
Here you go: http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-4g/downloads/

Nope I tried and still shows adb in my device manager

they're on the phone if you connect it to your computer you'll see them. It also has a qik pc app on it. A few nice surprises.

ill have to check the other sd card i put the one from my nexus one in right away as it has all my stuff on it already thanks

you can zip up those files on the SD card? When I purchased this they guy in the store swapped out the SIM and memory card from old to new phone (returned G2), so I don't have them. We didn't think about any factory files being pre-loaded on it.

The driver on the sd card is the same as the one on the HTC website. What exactly are you trying to do?

I had a problem looking for adb drivers myself, a while back. And it's true, the drivers are included on the root of the card in an executable file called 'HTC Driver'.

This no longer works it links you to another page and doesn't download anything :/ anyone have this exe?

please post questions in q&a section.

i had trouble getting the drivers to install when i had my g2 and i read to install pdanet on my computer and that would install them. i installed pdanet and it installed the drivers just fine and i was able to get adb to recognize my phone.

to late
I think you needed this, check this out

If you have difficulty connecting to comp with drivers already installed, uncheck the "USB debug mode" and you should have no problems.

Clockworkmod tether not working in windows 10

I have 2 phones, a samsung galaxy note 4 (tmobile) and a zte zinger (tmobile). One is a flagship, the other is a temporary replacement. I've attempted to get clockworkmod tethering working on both, but the tethering program wouldn't start. I'm on windows 10 as the title says, and I've done everything from uninstalling and re-installing clockworkmod tether on windows and my phone to disabling driver signature to re-install drivers for both phones, as well as replacing the ADB files from a fresh/latest install for ADB into the win32 directory to running it in compatibility mode and/or administrative mode. I verified my copy of ADB works inside C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Tether\win32 so I know it's not that.
Here's the only line (or 2) from the log output:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Tether
""
And then it stops.

Same here. I upgraded, and I can't uninstall OR reinstall the app either. It says I need to insert the CD-ROM for the software -.- Seems like an MS issue, but hell, who knows?

Sadly Koush hasn't made any updates to the app or PC software since February and seems to be ignoring all support requests (I've emailed, left a bug report, etc and got no response whatsoever). Windows 10 has definitely broken something with the tether, but without the dev's help I doubt it's fixable.

Just want to add that I am having the same problem. All i get is "C:\Program Files (x86)\ClockworkMod\Tether". Hopefully this gets fixed. I doubt Ill ask for a refund since Ive used the hell out of this app, but I do not want to buy another app just for Win 10.

Exactly the same here. Very frustrating.
Exactly the same here. Looks like a MS or windows 10 problem.
Hope the dev can fix it.

guess what.. same problem.. emailed and no response from tether anyone have a fix yet?

This really sucks. I only went to 10 on my laptop to test it out. Sadly its the only thing that uses tether. :crying:
*PDANet+ works great for USB tether. Not so much with the hot spot feature. The full version is $8 so eh... It works though! No root needed for USB tether with PDANet.

Has @Koush released the source for the PC side app?

Same problem - hello @Koush ! Any progress on this?
Thanks,

Looks like he took the money and ran. Very unprofessional. Everyone needs to remember if/when he releases a new app. I will be the first to say HELL NO. not getting my money.

Windows 10 android tethering apps
I'm on metropcs (t-mobile carrier) on the 'unlimited plan'. I came here seeking support for clockworkmod tether under Windows 10. I am not willing to 'downgrade' back to Windows 7 behind Clockworkmod's lack of support. I can report that the paid versions of both PDAnet and EasyTether work well enough. I would prefer Clockworkmod for the sole reason that it uses real/regular ADB as its middleware, so I can still use other apps like Vysor (to control my device) while tethered. Unlike PDAnet and EasyTether which seem to use hacked version of adb and prevent any other normal usb-pc connectivity (no regular adb apps, so no vnc/vysor). That's a big deal for me since I put my phone is an external antenna holster, because the android device is my sole source of Internet, here, and the ability access my phone via the computer screen makes my life easier. I hope CWM Tether gets fixed, but since they don't seem to care I hope someone comes along with a better product (using real ADB and more support).

Same here - doesn't work on Windows 10
@Koush - you gonna man up?

Guys, I've finally made CM Tether work on Windows 10!
Installation guide for Win10:
At first install CM Tether on your PC as usual.
Then get OpenVPN installer (you can google it)
Uncheck all checkboxes except TAP Virtual Ethernet Adapter in installator if OpenVPN isn't needed.
Install it.
Just run Tether as admin.
It worked for me, contact me if it didn't for you.

thanks
Thank you so much t1meshift! This one worked for me!

Good info, but rather than downloading the OpenVPN installer, get just the TAP-windows NDIS6 package instead.
filename is tap-windows-9.21.2.exe, available from same OpenVPN download page.
Then it works! Awesome.
