HTC touch HD Sync problems

Hello,
When I connect my HTC Touch HD to my pc via USB it DOES Charge, but it ISN'T recognized by my pc and it DOESN'T sync via ActiveSync.
Have tried multiple Pc's and even a Mac. Also I've tried multiple USB-Cables and I've also re-installed active sync.
When going into USB-to-PC settings al options have been tested and even a hard-reset didn't do the job.
When trying to flash my rom using my memory card it just keeps saying "loading" when in bootloader mode..
As you can see I'm desperate.
Does anyone have any sugestions? Or is it my phone simply broken?

when you plug in your phone thru usb to your comp, did anything come out from your HD, prompting to sync with activesync, file transfer.. or nothing at all?

Did you ensure that the "Allow USB connections" in the Connections Settings of ActiveSync was ticked?
I have found this to be a problem when flashing in the past.

Same issue here
I have the same problem... tired multiple cables, OS, systems, Hard Resetting but nothing. Only 1 time after one of the Hard Reset but then gone next time. Even in the boot loader it doesn't come up...
USB Hardware screwed?

Thanks for the replies!

Yes I made sure it was ticked... Even ran the connect button in the rop right a couple of times. Not sure that would ever help though.
So maybe it is screwed up usb hardware as saliss sugested...?

okay. If so we better go into details. Please let us know which ROM you are using. And maybe some other useful information, such as what software you installed etc.

Sorry for the late reply.
The rom I'm using is:
1.14.172.1 (24011) NLD
I hard resetted the phone multiple times, so there isn't any software on it other than the normal stuff.
Any sugestions?

Which OS you have in your PC? XP, vista or 7?
Have you checked in your phone under, settings, connections, USB, which one is selected?

System: Win XP
USB to PC settings is set on syc with active sync and all other options are turned off (unchecked)

did you figure this out?
I have same issue, am thinking its USB hardware as I can charge but not connect to any PC yet I can with another device using same cable.. anyone know any reputable repairers in the UK?

Hmmm, I kinda remember that HTC released new USB drivers last year...
Not sure thou, but you might take a look at their site...

MOD EDIT - Moved to General discussion

sync from Outlook
I have a slightly different problem. I have managed to sync my emails and my contacts but not my outlook diary! I have tried everything, although I suspect it has something to do with the way my Outlook is set up so I am not worrying yet!

HOW to USB tether Vibrant with MacOS X (TMO)

I am coming from a g1 originally (back before cyanogen had 1000 followers), most recently a N1 (busted the screen last Friday, doh!). One thing I enjoyed is being able to tether to either of the old phones with wifitether. Lack of CM6 and a stable wifitether.apk for the vibrant leaves me unable to work while I am out and about without wifi access.
Did some reading around, and playing and this is what worked for me. I have a rooted vibrant (but this su shouldn't be needed), macbook pro, and os x 10.6.4.
*** Note: I had to have USB debugging enabled to get MacOS X to prompt setting up the vibrant as a USB modem. Not having this enabled didn't work.***
1. Connect your Vibrant to your Mac with the USB cable.
2. MacOS should prompt you saying that there is a device connected and not set up. If it does not, click on the Apple Menu, select system preferences. Select the Network pane.
3. The device should have been named as SAMSUNG_Android. Select it.
4. Start with the advanced options. Click the button that says 'Advanced.'
5. Under the Modem tab, use these options:
Model: Samsung​Model: GPRS (GSM/3G)​APN: epc.tmobile.com​CID: 1​
6. I left the DNS, WINS, and Proxies tabs alone
7. I read on a blackberry forum that under the PPP tab, 'TCP Compression' had to be checked.
8. Click 'OK' and return to the Network Pane.
9. I used these settings for the SAMSUNG_Android configuration.
Telephone Number: *99#​Account Name: username​Password: password​
*** Note: I remember from the pre-Android days that the username/password didn't matter. I believe the keys to it working on TMO are the number and APN, and most likely the Modem info. ***
This is what worked for me on Tmobile in Florida. Your mileage may vary. If you can get this to work with different settings, please share here.

Works like a charm! Thanks OP. This is being posted from my tethered Mac.

Oh yeah, and I'm not rooted.

will def have to check this out when I get home

I figured something like this would work, but I never really bothered past *99***#* GPRS/GPRS

Nice! Thanks! I was wondering if that would work when I saw the modem prompt pop up. I just didn't have time to chase down the settings. Works fine here.

I did some more reading on some old forums, and confirmed that the username and password are not important. They should work with empty fields.

It wouldn't work with me for blank U/P, but with 'username' and 'password', I am happily tethered.
Thanks, OP.

Good to know. Thanks for testing! The forums I was reading were old and for blackberries and winmo. Thought the settings wouldn't make a difference for the device.

This is the first time usb tethering actually works for me on any device. Even with usb tethering enabled in CM6 on my nexus one i could never get it to work, only wifi tethering did. Just did this, and i'm currently tethered. First time I plugged in my vibrant and that samsung_network popped up I had an idea I could tether but i never looked into it. thnx OP

Well, that tethering method is one that only works on PC's.

Anyone know if this works on Tiger 10.4? I dont seem to have the same options under the modem tab...i dont have samsung listed as a possible model, nor the gsm portion of the model or a place to put the apn?

Actually, if you set USB mode to Kies, tethering should work with Cradlepoint router or XP/Vista/7 with Kies Suite installed.
I tested it with Behold II (Samsung USB studio mode) and use Samsung Mobile Modem for setting up dial-up networking, and it works 100%.
No USB debugging required.

Running 10.6.4 and this works. Currently USB tethered and not rooted. Thanks OP!

Running 10.6.4
NOT rooted.
Got 1.6Mbit down and 1.2Mbit with 0 bars. (I know the bars aren't accurate but just saying that the signal isn't as strong as it could be) Faster than my cable upload.
Thanks OP!

Running 10.6.4.
Not working.
I get a message that says, "The communication device selected for your connection does not exist. Verify your settings and try reconnecting."
Question: In the network devices panes is the the 'SAMSUNG_Android' device connected with a green light before you hit the connect button. Mine is amber and the status is "Not Connected".
My other configured devices (Parallels Host adapter) are green and show connected statuses, even though I don't even have Parallels installed anymore.
Then again, I had all kinds of fits just making my sd cards mount on this mac. I think my phone is really defective. I still have one more day on my remorse period. Oh well.

How do I do this with a Windows PC? XP or Windows 7. Thanks!

Strange.
Mine is amber until it connects. Once connected, you have a call timer in the status bar, and the notification orb turns green.
I followed the instructions perfectly, and it works without a hitch.
You're just using 'username' and 'password'?
Oh, if you need to purge your system of Parallels (I recommend this), use AppZapper. I remember Parallels messed with my system settings and caused a number of issues. Alternatively, you could try reinstalling the latest OSX firmware update, or trashing the USB preferences and instructions to generate a new file.

Didn't need AppZapper, but getting rid of the Parallels connection fixed the problem!

This is awesome. Worked for me on 10.5.8 with settings given by OP. Thanks again!

[Q] Connecting to a PC

Hi everybody. I got this new myTouch 4G by T-Mobile, and when I connect it to my PC, nothing happens. I went into "Settings" and then into "Connect to PC" and chose every setting one by one, but nothing. My comp doesn't recognize it. There has to be a pretty easy fix for this, what is it?
P.S. It has a light on it, just as it's charging, and it is charging, but my PC doesn't see it connected.
Thanx for the help!!

Download the "USB Tethering Driver" here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-4g/downloads/
While it says it's for USB tethering, it's basically just a generic driver to get Windows to recognize your phone. There's also a copy on your SD card.

Hm, what version of Windows do you have running? Is Autorun(on Windows) turned off? What happens when you pull down the tab on your phone, and hit "Mount SD card for storage" or something similiar?
EDIT: Scratch the Mount SD thing. I forget that mySense doesn't have that option like that.

This is Windows Vista, Autorun needs to pop up so I would be able to turn it off, and it never did. And there is nothing to pull down on the device. I know what you are talking about, but I don't see anything appear; only that light comes on orange. My pc doesn't even see it in my Device Manager. But the light does light up on the device just as if I connect it to a charger.

Wow, if you don't even see it in Device Manager that's beyond strange. o_o On my first phone, I connected it to my computer and it instantly recognized it. On the second device, I had to go to the link I provided to you and then guide Device Manager there for it to work.
I think someone more technical savvy will have to help you, mate. Sorry.

My PC is supposed to make a sound when there is something being connected to it, but nothing. I went thru all 3 settings in "Connect to PC"; I restarted my device after each, but nothing. My Device Manger doesn't refresh when I connect/disconnect the device. What could this be? Anybody has any ideas?? Thanx for your help!!

Out of continuing pondering on your issue, what happens if you connect your phone to a different USB port? Still nothing? Does anything at all show up as "?" or unknown on Device Manager. It might be listed as a "mass storage device" and you'll need to direct it manually to the driver location.
Racking my brain for ya!

What connection mode does your phone default to? Check under Settings -> PC Connection (IIRC, phone not in hand ATM) and make sure it's not disabled. I think there is USB Storage Device, Charge Only, or Disabled. It will set the default of how the phone acts when plugged in to a PC.

You will need to test it on another pc or with another cable if possible. That would be the best way to find out what is causing the problem.

I had tried that. On my HTC I went in to the connection settings, and I tried every single one there. "Charge Only", "Disk Drive", "USB Tethering". The best I get, is when I select "Disk Drive" I have my MicroSD card to show up as "Removable Disk" in my Windows Explorer. HMMMMMMMMMMM.........

USB problem with Vista - Help!

I am trying to connect my zoom to my computer so I can transfer the TV shows I spent hours converting yesterday but my Vista laptop cannot install the drivers. It is really starting to frustrate me!!
I tried turning USB debugging on and connecting and nothing. I tried turning it off and nothing. I went to Motorola's site and downloaded their moto helper and nothing. I tried all of the USB ports on my computer and nothing. I tried going into the device manager and updating the drivers and nothing. It shows the MTP device with the exclamation point but nothing I do works.
My husband plugs it into his netbook that has Win 7 and it installs everything in seconds. What else can I do?

Upgrade to Windows 7! Seriously, Vista is horrible. Try removing the MTP device from device manager with the Xoom not plugged in. Reboot and try again. If that fails, when you double click the MTP device in Device Manager, does it show an error or anything?

I have encountered the exact same problem.
Will not for the life of me connect to my Vista Laptop.
Connects in 10 seconds flat to my Windows 7 desktop the first time i tried.
I've been porting everything I want to put on my Xoom to my Desktop.
I tried lots, wish there was more I could say. But Motodrivers didn't help me any either.
Also when it connects to my Windows 7 comp, it will not install MZ600, but works fine for file transfers. I don't know what that driver does, but i know it won't install.
I have a lot of issues with my Vista though, it won't install my digital camera, the digitial camera drives from my iphone, and its sd card reader stopped working.
But, all I can say is port port port.

I found this using a Google search for other devices that use MTP on Vista with problems. May work for you:
1) Go here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...60-E862-4F19-BB26-C0CAFE798955&displaylang=en
2) Press the Continue button (Near the Validation Required)
3) Press the Download button (Near the genuine Microsoft software)
4) In case that the download hasn't started automatically within 30 seconds, press the Start Download button.
5) Save the file to your Desktop where you can easily find it.
6) Execute the file (Double click on the mouse's left button).
7) Next -> Repair -> Repair -> Finish -> Choose "Yes" so the system restarts itself.
Let me know if this works so I can add it to my FAQ list.

I will try that when i get back home and let you know. Thanks for all of your help! I am leaning towards upgrading to Windows 7 if that doesn't work. I need to be able to use my laptop with my xoom.
Oh and I don't get any error messages when I go to device manager. It just tells me all drivers are up to date. If my laptop had a face I would punch it in it...

You will be happier with Windows 7 regardless. But do keep us updated.
EDIT: Try this if everything else fails: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...vers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers?pubid=987654

I tried both things and it is still a no go. I guess upgrading to Windows 7 is my only option at this point.

When you go to device manager and get no error message, did you go near the bottom and expand usb devices to see if there is a yellow exclamation mark? What i do is go to device manager and have the device plugged in already. If the device isnt obvious i unplug it while watching device manager to see if something drops from the list and then plug it back in to see it reappear. If that doesnt work i recall vista having a "broken" usb driver that was fixed with sp1 or manually replacing it. I will see if i can dig it up

I go down to portable devices under device manager and see the MTP device with the exclamation point. I try right clicking and updating the driver and it tells me the driver is up to date. I try uninstalling and then plugging back in. I get the same fail message when it tries to install the drivers. It does the same thing with all three usb ports on my laptop.

I may have skipped a step. When you search for 'cmd' in the start menu, right click on cmd and hit run as administrator first.
This is the only solution I've found on the web so far where people say it works!

I have been trying to get that WIFI work but its dimmed.
I am on desktop but connected though WIFI, is there any hints for that?

Nimche, what OS are you running? My wifi was greyed out on my WinXP box but was fine on my Win 7 box. According to a pop up message when I tried on the WinXP box, MTM is only supported on Vista and up.
prathaban, I had the same problem. Try this. It worked for me ....although I'm having problems again and I haven't had time to trouble shoot.
On your phone "Forget" and trusted devices. Set your phone to MTM mode and plug in the phone to your computer via USB. Choose "Configure Device for Network Access". Follow the wizard. Keep the screen on your phone awake because you're going to be asked to pair your phone with your computer. When prompted pick "Pair". When you get the successfully configured screen on your computer close the wizard and unplug your phone. You should now see your computer name on your phone under the "Trusted Devices" screen. Click on it and select "Connect". In less than a minute your phone and computer should connect and appear in "My Computer" if you're using a PC. Once I get more time I'll try to mess around with it some more.

Nimche, what OS are you running? My wifi was greyed out on my WinXP box but was fine on my Win 7 box. According to a pop up message when I tried on the WinXP box, MTM is only supported on Vista and up.

I am @ Win 7 X64 Ultimate. I uninstalled and re-installed and didn't work. I thought this is a nice feature to have to not working and there is nothing online that I could find about it...

I'm using Win7 64 too. Hmm...you know what. Try the method I mentioned above. I think it ignores PC Companion and just uses the Windows 7 MTM support. See if that works.

Thanks but your instruction is not followable. What do you mean on your phone "forget?"
Could you put it step by step? That would be nice.
Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried that and I managed to see my laptop hostname under the relevant place only once and when I click connect nothing happens. I tried to delete that and repair and now I cannot pair at all
Any solution? Is it really working for you?

Definitely work well. When you click connect, both devices must not be in sleep mode and connected to wifi. Take approx 2-3 mins to connect though.....

Actually problem is that my PC can't find the MTB driver. I have uninstalled all USB and restart and tried again with no luck. SE doesn't provide the files anymore on their support section?

Ok, this is annoying. I had this working. And now for the life of me I can't getting going. I'm having the driver issue too.

After spending hours with this, I couldn't solve it and gave-up.

Wow! I thought I'm the only one who is stuck with the issue, but seems like more and more people are having the issue?
Interesting! Hopefully someone can show some light on this!!

Yes, same problem. arc connected and driver was installed...after al long time, driver error!

same thing here...after installing the phone the driver was unsuccessfully updated so cannot connect...hopefully this will be fixed soon...hate it when things that are advertised do not work properly...

Do we have to look for he MTP driver? I was reading SE Support forum and then they support dude was asking a user if he or she has altered the FW, like rooting or unlocking bootloader? I did a clean install without root and it wasn't fixed...''
Even if you have done any of the above, you should still be able to use your phone with no problem. This seems to be a basic function of a phone why would it be taken away from you?
