Hi!
I have a problem... the ActiveSync 4.1 install program says that I need to have the latest service pack installed, but I don't have it... Is there a way to somehow install it without having SP2?
EDIT: This problem is already solved, but I have another one... look at my next post here
I've run AS 4.1 on XP SP1 with no problems. Currently running AS 4.2 beta on XP SP1 again with no issues.
I just ran the install, it did'nt report anything back.
I suggest you update XP with the custom option.
ok, I installed ActiveSync 4.2 by using the Windows 2000 compatibility mode
But now I have another problem It doesn't see my MDA Pro... when I connect my MDA, it's recognized as a Windows Mobile device, but it asks me for some drivers which I don't have. So I don't install any drivers, and AS doesn't see it....
EDIT:
I tried uninstalling AS, and installing AS 4.1, and it still doesn't work. It asks me for a driver, and when I tell him to install it automatically, here's what it says (I have a Polish version of Windows, but I'll try to translate the error message to English):
Can't install hardware
An error occurred when installing this hardware:
Windows Mobile-based Device
An error occurred when installing this device.
There's no required entry in the driver installation file. The reason can be that the INF file was written for Windows 95 or newer system. Contact your hardware vendor.

Can anyone help me?
(Moved from development forum, newb root thread)
I recently received my phone back from a HTC repair. I hadn't used it til today as I was waiting for froyd 1.5 to come out before rooting it and setting it up. Today I switched it on and it asked me if I wanted to update the software, I clicked no. Then I followed the steps in the OP but had problems in step 5 : everytime I typed anything (including "su") and hit enter I had a message saying "denied" or words to that effect, despite the UniversalAndroot program giving the "woot rooted" message.
This is the part where I might have done something stupid - I decided to let the phone update itself to the latest software, and then I was planning to run the UniversalAndroot again. I thought that maybe UA had been tested on the latest official HTC stuff but not whatever 2.1 but not fully updated version that mine had come back from repair with. It went to the update screen and the progress bar completed, it tried to reboot but just got stuck on the white boot screen with the green HTC logo. If I pull the battery out and start again it just hangs at the same screen.
I can get the 2.73.405.5 WWE RUU to see the phone when in fastboot, but when I try to update it it eventually gives me error 140 "bootloader version error".
I tried to load it through HBOOT using kazuni's technique in his thread "A way of flashing the RUU rom extract" (sorry, it won't let me paste a link to the actual thread) but it says "main version is older, update fail". Do I need to send it off to HTC again? I just got it back! Will they be able to tell what broke it and refuse to fix it?
Many many thanks
Try the 2.1 downgrade in my sig below.
Please could you explain "The recovery can be flashed via running 'runindos.bat'."? I assume I need to install this adb program that people keep mentioning?
Also what is the goal here? To upgrade my phone to 2.1 (which was already on from the HTC repair, the OTA update just said something about adding g-sensor calibration tool) to then root it or to downgrade my phone to 1.5 to root?
Many thanks!
Ah, just seen adb guide on villain forums. OK, I'll follow the guide to get adb installed, put your recovery files in the /tools folder, but then how exactly do I flash the recovery? Simply by typing runindos.bat in cmd whilst in the correct folder?
Ah, I see, I just run the batch file from your recovery download. Sorry for all the dumb questions! I ran this with my phone on fastboot usb but it said this :
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *

As far as I can tell nothing happened on my phone. I assume my usb drivers are fine as the RUU was able to begin updating before it gave me the 140 version error. Any ideas?
It's the ADB drivers, what OS are you using?
I am using Windows 7. I thought i read that the latest version of htc sync had drivers fully compatible with win 7 and the RUU seems to see it fine once I selected 'my htc' drivers under adb in device manager. I am confused!

You may want to build an XP workstation eitha virtual or physical. Don't be alarmed. Yes, the latest version of HTC Sync does contain the drivers. However, they some what don't work for majority of users. Sorry.
Just did a quick google - will http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx work?

Eek - I need to get an xp install disc and set it up like I was loading it onto an actual PC? The microsoft tool within win 7 definitely wouldn't work?

Yeh, to install XP you will need an install disk, unless you download XP Trial version VHD. This is the trial version from Microsoft in virtual machine mode.

Hey Guys, after installed a new Windows Version (Win8) i can't install ADB/Fastboot Driver.
I instantly get the Error
"INF doesnt have Digital driver Signature" (Translated from German)
I've tried the Nexus Toolkit, but that doesnt help ...
Most likely Google has not updated the drivers for windows 8 as its not officially released
Sent from my Jelly Nexus S
I did a quick google search and found a few useful threads, check out this one. It seems most people with working Windows 8 ADB drivers had to use Wug's toolkit to uninstall drivers from their failed attempts, then disable the automatic windows driver search and get the correct drivers installed, and then after every reboot there's an extra step.
I'm at work right now and couldn't spend much time on it, but some google searches will find some similar threads.

Hi all,
I just got my OP2. My PC is running Windows 10 x64. I cannot see the OP2 as an MTP device. It only shows up as a CD drive with its driver installers.
Here are the stuff I have installed on my PC:
1. OP2 drivers
2. 15 seconds adb installer
3. Microsoft update KB3010081
I can only see the OP2 in device manager as an "MTP USB Device" under "Portable Devices" but it is in error. This still persists even if I enable USB debugging. I installed the update microsoft update above because it is said to fix the MTP driver problem but not in my case.
Any ideas?
Okay nevermind I got it solved thanks to this youtube video: "MTP device driver installation failed , error code 31 solution"
I can't post links yet so just search the keywords on YT. I tried a lot of methods I've read but none worked except this one. I'm just gonna leave this here in case someone faces similar problems.
EDIT: still not fixed. phone now shows up but I cannot see any folder/files
