I recived a HTC Legend from Italy [Fast Web], unlocked, but the problem is I can't access to the phone with the HTC sync, the phone is hardly recognized by the computers (tried win7 x64, win 7 x86 and for XP x86 not working at all) windows say "can't recognize usb device" but with some tutorial here in the forum windows reconized the device as Android phone and that all, HTC sync still don't work and either if I use the phone as a flash disk, windows can't access to the MicroSD card, but the card work well if I put it directly to the computer!
What this problem? what can I do? If i debrand the phone it will resolve the problem?
Help plz!!!

HTC sync is also a bit bugy for me, but it usualy works if I first connect the phone, start the program and only after this I choose how it should connect to the computer.
However, it should always work as a flash drive (if you choose it) without any problems.
I think you should first make a hard reset and if it's still not working then take it back and get a new one.
download the latest version of HTC Sync and use it.
Thanks for your answer so quick! The HTC sync is updated for legend v2.0.33. but still the same problem, may be the USB is bricked?

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...

I got a HTC HD2 and flashed Windows Phone 7 on it -> This Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
I installed Zune and wanted to connect my device to sync it, but it isnt recognized.. All drivers are installed (Windows Phone Usb, HTC HD2 and so on.) Theres no Error in Device Manager.
When i connect my Device to the USB-Port, Zune starts but it doesnt recognize my HD2. I tried it 1000 times.. installed WMDC, reinstalled Zune, added local service, installed the drivers while beeing in bootloader-menu and so on.
Is there a chance to get my HD2 connected with Zune? I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64bit. But even on WinXp the same probs. Tried 3 cables also)
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

If you can connect it to win7 pc, that should be ok to flash wp7.
maybe you can take a look at the tutorial how to flash a wp rom.
You have installed the Windows Mobile Device Center on your PC?
If the phone change from "serial" to "usb", the connection is working!

Also, just to add something here, if you are trying to connect the HD2 in bootloader mode to XP or lower, you need ActiveSync 4.5, if Vista or Higher (Maybe even Windows 8) you need the software stated above.

This not the point!
The HD2 is a Windows Phone and if you will connect the phone in bootloader mode with the PC, you need the Device Center or ActiveSync on your computer.

I flashed this phone to WP7 and it works fine but can't access market even after activation code. I have tried to flashe back using the sd card method but device not recognising sd cards also phone does not allow me to use windows activesync anymore so cannot do it that way either im basically stuck with a phone that does not work 100% any help will be greatly appreciated
you must change sdcard and find one which work (you must reflash or hard reset when insert new card).... HD2 dont have enough memory for WP7 and must use SDcard for this... but major problem is find good and compatible sdcard
for activation you must ask Microsoft support for live activation code for HTC HD7....
for this and others read install tutorial from my signature
I have done all that but still nothing. Every tutorial I see they are saying when usb plugged in then activesync should work but im getting nothing and I can't think of what else to do. So far my phone is done now I get no mobile data either just wifi I can't access facebook unless using browser. I was looking forward to using this phone but now its pretty useless
Which Windows you have on PC??? if you have XP then you must have ActiveSync... for Windows 7 and 8 you must have WMDC (windows mobile device center)

i never have any problems with sync on my (old) HD2... maybe some problem on your device or drivers
Check in Device Manager if anything shows up or needs drivers.
Does the device show "Serial" in bootloader when connected?
Turn on the phone into magldr and then use the usb mass storage option. It should allow full access to your microSD card and let you backup any files from there. Then format the card (FAT32, 4096 allocation size) and you should be able to reflash stock now.
