I have the latest froyostone V1 from Energy released August 8 and I believe lot many like me have issues connecting with PCs. I had installed HTC Sync software from HTC Website, but the PC does not recognize and the phone does not give me option for connection type.
I posted this issue in the specific threads as well but no response and hence I am opening this issue so that experts outside the specific thread can guide us how to connect to PC. OR any other build that works perfectly. All my contacts are in Outlook and I want to sync them.
Any help or guidance much appreciated !!!
i made a thread already for connecting with drivers and all search is your friend
Download Automount from the market, install it and connect to your PC via USB

ADB and Automount does not support synchronizing the outlook contacts or emails, that HTC Sync can do..
Have installed SDK and most of it's component including USB Drivers for XP r3, but all in vain, HTC Sync does not detect it.
Automount, I can detect my storage card but that is not what i am looking here. Any help on sync of the outlook contacts will be great help. Also offline sync of emails from my outlook as we do for winmo..
This was explained already in darkstone's thread. He took out most usb functionality because files were being corrupted when transfered from pc due to the fact that the operating system is running off of the SD card.
Use a different build, or better yet, transfer your files to a folder from winmo and then boot to android and voila! your files will be there. Search is your BEST friend.

To transfer the files, "Auto Mount your SD Card" is better solution from copy to WinMO and then find it in Android using the explorer. But I was trying to sync my offline mails and outlook contacts as we do in winmo. Do you mean that if we sync in winmo, i could see my contacts in Android, I don't think so it is possible.

Hi Guys
I can connect my Leo via active sync and sync it with outlook, or add files to sync via the same method. But when I want to explore my device via my computer I can only view files. That goes to Leo itself and SD card. When I connect Leo as Diskdrive I can edit files on SD card.
Sorry, under Windows 7 Sync Centre I can create folders and copy files under Computer/"mydevice" on both the device itself and the memory card when connected using the phone's ActiveSync connection. I'm guessing you're using Vista or XP? Some helpful person here may ask you to confirm.
I use 7 as well.
However I had no problems with XDA Orbit/Orbit2, HTC Touch Diamond 2 under XP/Vista and 7. It is only HD2 that has a problem there.
Seems like drivers to me.

Well I want to re-arrange my start menu using my laptop. I active sync it and navigate to my device\windows\start menu\programs. In there if I try to move/copy/delete/create new files/folders/shortcuts I get access denied. I want to copy more wallpapers to my documents\wallpapers and get the same error.
I want to copy files to my SD card and get access denied. I can open the files, like music or pictures, to view but that is it.
I also can not copy any files out of the device to desktop.

Getting "access denied" seems to indicate you do not have the proper authority to access the files. This is just a wild guess, but you may try it anyway. Right click on the Windows Mobile Device program, and check properties. There is an option to run the program as administrator under the Compatibility tab. Maybe this will give you the authority you need to access these files. For me, no problems, running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit.

I am really curious about the logical steps you used to reach the conclusion that his laptop is infected, and why you suggest the only solution is to reinstall Windows. Even if his computer were infected, is not reinstalling Windows a rather extreme solution? Surely a good antivirus program or running HouseCall is a much more reasonable solution.
So basically you can browse the folders of the SD and the storage, but you cannot process any files.
Other than the protected shortcuts (most of the supplied shortcuts are system and readonly) I do not have any access problems via activesync.
Is your USBtoPC set to ActiveSync?
I have done dozens of searches and come across hundreds of people having the same issue as me and not one solution that actually works...
The software: HTC Sync, version: 2.0.18
The OS: Windows 7
The device: HTC Magic (Stock Rogers version)
The issue: HTC sync installed fine, all drivers installed fine, when I connect my Magic to my PC my phone notification area gives me the option to "HTC Sync" when I select that and it searches for a minute or so it says:
"The phone cannot detect HTC Sync at your PC. Please make sure that HTC Sync is installed and opened on your computer."
Tried rebooting my PC and tried rebooting my Magic (as a few different posts suggested). Tried installing different versions of HTC Sync, but 2.0.18 should be the right one as HTC says that it is for Windows 7:
"This release of HTC Sync for Windows 7 allows for users to sync their Android phones”
It seems Many people are having the same issue as me and yet no one has a solution?!?
Any help, pointers or advice would be Very much appreciated.
I've found that it is easiest to just avoid htc sync on windows 7 altogether. Tried to get it working for like 8 hours yesterday. You may be able to make it work if u use windows 7's xp virtualization mode (Google it) and install the program in an xp environment.
But honestly, i say avoid it until HTC makes it work properly

Well even if I wanted to just give up on syncing it, if I can't get my Magic/PC to recognize each other then I can't ever root/upgrade my phone, so giving up is not an option.
Ok I have managed to finally find a solution that works (for me).
1. Install HTC Sync
2. Download these drivers: http://depositfiles.com/files/yd61xorii and then Unzip them
3. connect your Magic to your PC
4. on your PC select: Start>Control Panel>Device Manager>ADB Interface>Rightclick>Update driver software>Browse My Computer For Driver Software>Browse to the location you unziped the drivers to>Let Me Pick From A List(Don't let it pick or it will pick the wrong ones!)>Click on "My HTC">Click Next.
Done.
you can root and upgrade w/o htc sync.
I did it yesterday. you just have to use the goldcard method to flash the proper spl, then you can put anything on the sd card. Windows recognizes the phone as a flash drive regardless of wether or not it works with sync

You can flash your SPL without connecting your phone to your PC? (I just got my Magic to I have never done anything to it yet)
But anyways I also want the ability to use my carrier upgrades and for that I Need my phone to recognize my PC.
And most importantly I need a seamless way to keep all my different phones in sync with Outlook and HTC Sync is the only way to do that. So I'm glad I got it figures out.
HTC Sync here shows it works with Windows 7 now:
http://87.106.248.77/download/Driver//HTC Tattoo/HTC Sync 2.0.18/HTCSync.exe
yeah you can flash a new spl w/o connecting to computer.
but by all means, if you got it working, more power to you
Ive tried all the above idea to get HTC Sync to work on my PC (with Win 7) nothing works......

Have you got your Magic rooted and customized the ROM?
I was able to connect few days ago, after I upgraded to 1.6 and lately 2.1, I was unable to do so...

Hi experts,
Thanx to the experts on this forum, I managed to flash HyperDroid 2.3.4 NAND ROM on my HD2. Its working fine.
But, when I connect my HD2 to my Vista laptop via USB, my laptop cannot find the required drivers to connect . I am not interested in syncing ... just able to transfer files between PC and sdcard on HD2.
I tried to search this forum for an answer ... but, could'nt fine one.
Also, any recommendations for a good anti-virus for my HD2 will be appreciated.
Thanx.
cheers,

Mhh, didnt remember if i required a driver to getbtge mass storage working...
Off topic: vista is after windows me the worst os ever
Google usb drivers are in this package...ignore adb, fastboot.exe..just picked up the package from the clk thread. Im on my way to work, so this was the best solution to help as fast as possible

You have to manually install them over the device manager.
Hope this helps.

how long have you been using android? because the simple answer is in notification area if you already haven't tried, drag notification bar down and turn usb storage on
i might be wrong but i dont think i needed driver update and what not when i flashed HyperDroid. uh.. have you tried all the ports on your laptop? i found that sometimes this seems to fix problems like this. im taking by what you said this is your 1st Android ROM you tried? if not then was it working before and if so then you could always try another ROM as well to see if it would fix the problem.
Thanx j4n87 ... I downloaded the Android USB driver from the HTC developer site, and installed it on my Vista laptop via device manager. It works. I can transfer files between my Android HD2 and Vista laptop.

When you say that it's not connecting, could you specify in which mode? E.g. USB Flasher in MAGLDR, USB Mass Storage in Android, USB Mass Storage in MAGLDR, bootloader etc.
it will not connect when im at my home screen. i have turned off usb debugging on the phone. im not sure wat mode its in when im just at the home screen sorry.
thanks josh
extract it in your dektop.
Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
Select Devices in the left pane.
Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.
Right-click the device name (such as HTC HD2) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (Google USB Driver, we have already extracted it )
Click Next to install the driver.

Well still check if it connects in USB Flasher mode in MAGLDR. If it does, then you should be all set to flash a newer version of Android. Just follow this guide. Before doing so, download the ROM directly on to your phone's SD from the browser and move the ROM to the root of the SD card. Also make sure to make a full backup of your ROM in CWM and of your data in Titanium Backup. On the guide you should probably skip the step which involves partitioning the SD card with an SD-EXT as this will delete the contents of your SD card.

...What? This makes no sense.
I also have this problem: after connecting android 4.1.2 to windows 7 x64 pc - nothing happends. I tried installing 4 different roms (all released in december 2012), but if I remember correctly my previous android (4.0.4) and the one before (2.something) had the same problem. I also tried 4 defrent pc.
I installed Google USB Drivers in Android SDK Manager but couldn't add them to unknown devise (it said that there are no drivers in the 'usb_drivers' folder. Also tried drivers mentioned in this thread but with the same result.
Tried turning off and on USB Debuging and plenty other options as suggested in posts I found. I also don't have any option to chose while connecting android via USB cable (only turning USB storage on and off - while on pc does see it, but only as an SD card).
Thank you for your answer,
Paul

Unfortunately, if I am correct, this thread solved problems during the installation. This went just fine. Pc detects phone before without loaded rom just fine. But thanks anyway.
