I have looked everywhere and tried everything - Windows 7 WILL NOT connect to my HD2

I have tried changing the fast sync option
I have removed everything from the computer and re-installed.
I have hard reset my HD2.
I have restored my computer to before i bought the HD2 and let windows figure out that it needs to install WMDC - then let it download itself and install it.
I have tried every USB port on my computer and also bought a powered USB hub and tried that.
After all installs it just simply wont let me make a partnership or anything.
I don't know what to do anymore. I WANT ME SOME NEW ROMS!!!! please help me out. Other than things to get Windows 7 to work - is there a way to flash hardSPL2 / roms without USB?
I appreciate any help given and i have searched the forums here and all over the net. If i missed that one special trick that my computer needs i do apologize.

I had the same problem with Win 7, however when I unchecked the faster connection option on HD2 it connected, although in Win7 it had a red x in mobile connection, but on the HD2 a connection had been established.

is formatting your PC an option?

Firewall?
I have three Windows 7 machines (32 & 64) and all connect without any problem. Disconnect from your internet connection. Turn off your anti-virus and firewall and give it a shot. Do you get the window that asks how you want to connect when you plug in your cable? Do you have a functioning cable? Just because it charges does not mean it will connect for data. Will it connect to an XP machine?

Have you tried a different usb cable? That's the only other thing I can think of that might be the problem.

HD2 on Windows 7 Ultimate
Hi
Had the same problem, and it turned out that the USB-cable i used, was the problem.
I used the cable that followed the 12v Car Charger, and that did no good, so I went and got the cable that came in the package (chargercable) and then it was Christmas and halloween alltogether.
Works like a charm!

@djchubbs yes i have turned that off as well - along with windows firewall
@ozkaya - no formatting my pc is not an option
@johnboatcat - When i plug it in the phone instantly asks me what kind of connection i want (file transfer or active sync with the checkbox option for faster sync as well). It transfers files just fine in file transfer mode as well.
@zarathustrax i have not tried a different USB cable as i dont have access to one. I doubt something is wrong with mine however i will have to see if i can get one somewhere.
@kongsvada Only cable i have is the one that came in the box factory from HTC
Again thank you for all the replies! I really really am trying to get this to work. I have my home computer which i do everything on but i tried my friends laptop today - it has the same exact build of windows 7 on it as my home computer (if that matters) and it will not sync or let me make a partnership or anything. I plugged it in, it downloaded WMDC and installed etc, restarted the computer and plugged it in, went to active sync mode and WMDC or the sync center do not recognize it at all. Since i cant find it in sync center i cant create a partnership.

OK, let me help you on this if flashing a new ROM will be your immediate task.
1) Just download the ROM that you like and rename it to LEOIMG.nbh
2) Make sure you've HSPL your LEO first.
3) Copy the renamed file into the root of your memory card.
4) Press the VOL down button simultaneously while turning ON your LEO.
5) Just follow the onscreen instructions on your LEO.
6) That's it.
the only problem that I can sense for you now is to HSPL your device because it does require connection with your PC. To bypass this connection with PC thing, do this;
a) Turn OFF your LEO.
b) Turn ON while pressing the VOL Down button together and it will enter the bootloader mode (TRICOLOR Screen).
c) At the bottom of your LEO, it will says "serial"
d) Now, connect the cable to your LEO and and your PC, the words will change to "Usb"
e) Let your PC do its work by installing the necessary driver automatically.
f) When it is done, run the HSPL program your PC. You can download it from this wonderful forum (Please search for it in the ROM development section)
g) Let the program finish and you can see something on your LEO screen in the process. Just look at it and let it finish. DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR LEO (I don't want you to brick your device).
h) When everything is done, reset your LEO and this time press the VOL Down button. This is to go back to the bootloader mode and to check whether the HSPL has been install correctly.
i) then go back to the steps (1 to 6) above to flash your new ROM.
Enjoy,
please post your result and help others too.

I had the same problem with my new computer which happend to be running windows 7 (everything was fine on my old xp machine). After much searching and trouble shooting the problem eventually came down to a setting on the motherboard (something to do with the p55 chipset). After I'd turned the c-state option on in the bios I've had no further issues.
It's a long shot but perhaps it will help you too

ok this sounds promising - i will try it this weekend when i have the time - i greatly appreciate the help and i will post results to let everyone know!
thank you all and like i said - will be trying your way soon mmorisa!

I had to change a registry setting on Windows 7 to get it to connect to my HD2... Of course I cant remember the setting, it may be this one

This worked great! I knew about bootloader screen, i knew i could flash from the SD card but i didn't know how to put them together. Thank you very very much for the help, now off to flashing roms!
One simple - probably stupid question:
I have seen TMOUS compatible on a few roms, however i will then read for that same rom that it is 576 ONLY - And then in another rom thread i see the creator of the rom say TMOUS compatible and then "TMOUS=1024". So what one is it!? just trying to be safe
Again - thank you all so much for the help - i really appreciate everyone that tried to help!
Edit: Just flashed the Evo rom to the phone, plugged it in and BAMN im able to sync with WMDC immediately - so thank you all so so much - super happy now with my 1024 leo!

slowestcivic,
I feel happy that you managed to do it and flash your favorite ROM with the guides I wrote.
at least i can see another smile from another happy LEO user.
best regards and don't forget to help others too.

Also running Office 2010 beta can cause active sync issues

yeah i have 2007 outlook so that wasnt thr problem. Still not sure what was wrong with it but after flashing a new rom all is well

I had the same trouble with win7. What i did after i tryed evrything i could think of was dowloading the latest active sync from Microsoft. Restarted and plugged the phone in and it worked

[Q] how do i flash???

hello, i flashed my hd2 many times but i now have an issue. i have windows 7 rom by boyppc_shiftpda v1 installed on my leo. which flashing software do i use to flash my leo so i can install a different rom onto it. the problem for me lies in the fact that when i connect my leo to my computer, zune software automatically starts up and it connects to the phone, unfortunatelly the computer does not recognize the phone as a storage device and does not think it is connected. so every single time i am trying to flash it with any of the DFT soptware i get an error that usb device is not connected.
HELP

You have to boot your HD2 into MAGLDR by holding the end/power button down while booting your HD2 up. When the MAGLDR menu comes up use the volume buttons to scroll down to option#5 USB Flasher and then connect your HD2 via USB cable to your computer. When you see your HD2 listed as MAGLDR in safe to remove you can right click on the DAF and select run as administrator. I also think you have to have ActiveSync or WMDC (ActiveSync for XP, WMDC for Vista and Windoes 7)" installed on your computer for for USB drivers perposes. Not 100% sure about that though but I have read people post that after they reinstalled these programs they had no troubles.

Check this tutorial... Worked for me and has all the relevant links...
YouTube Tutorial...

Hey,
it is realy easy. but you do not necessarily have to install Active Sync or WMDC ( what ever ). I plugged my Phone into the new installed Windows 7, Switch in the Magdlr and choose USB-Flasher.
Now Windows 7 download the Driver automatically. ( wait a few Minus, i mean 5 )
If installed, rigthklick -> run as admin -> have fun

[Q] USB connection problem - Donation & eternal gratitude for the solution!

Hi everybody,
I hope you can help me because I really can't find the solution:
When I connect my HD2 WP7-device to my computer it charges, but isn't recognized.
- Zune won't start automatically and won't find any device.
- Device Manager doesn't show any unknown device or something that could be my phone.
What I have tried so far:
- Used a XP3 and W7 x64 machine (also ones without any history with a WP7-phone)
- Used a lot of different cables
- Used a lot of different USB-ports
- reinstalled WP7
- reinstalled zune
- (de)installed activesync
- I'm not sure, but first I had a dual-boot solution with Android and I recall USB also didn't work there.
I started to think the USB-connection of my phone might be broken, but when I use MAGDLR, the USB works as mass storage and I can also use the USB flasher. The Bootloader also works, so I tried the following:
- (using bootloader) restored the HD2 in its original state with a official stock ROM and original (locked) HSPL
- Installed a Android ROM: the USB also does NOT work with WM6.5 or Android.
Does anyone know anything I can try now? And Yes, I have read all of the threads of other people with USB-issues and the MS-solutions, but none of them had the solution for me...
Coffee-donation for whoever has the golden tip

Hello guys, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am facing a similar issue.
I installed the LEO70 ROM on my HD2 when it first came out, and forgot all about it. I now want to install the NoDo (7932) update to test it out (and maybe move permanently to an Android ROM eventually when I decide I don't like it). I am facing an issue; I want to upgrade my MagLDR to 1.13 (from 1.12) and ROMUpdateUtility doesn't recognize my phone, giving me the 'Error 260 - Connection' error.
I did remove Windows Mobile Device Center a month or two ago... could this be the problem? I have the latest Zune software installed on my Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x86-64) machine, and when I plug in the phone, Zune automatically starts and recognizes my phone, telling me there's a phone update available (from February that I need to install to enable future updates). I know it will kill my phone, so I won't install it. Also, USBMassStorage mode works nicely.
Any ideas?

Hi sclip,
I don't mind if you try to find an answer to your problem too, but it seems like a different one, because mine does work in bootloader/magdlr-mode.
BTW. I just installed the stock WM6.5 Rom of HTC, and USB still doesn't work! Can it be the radio of hardSPL or is it just broken?

****, after installing the stock WM6.5, it won't install another Radio/MAGDLR using bootloader, it stucks at the 0%.
I think I might haved destroyed my HD2

remember to HSPL it once you have installed your original Stock rom

That did the trick, thanks. To bad it didn't help my USB problem...

since youve tried just about everything else try this
try using USBDVIEW and delete all the USB drivers
also install it on a different PC that hasnt had WP7 connected to it before
to continue with fault testing will requirer us to rule out the PC or the phone, at the mo it could be anything.
since you have Windows 7 install the XP virtual machine and use that, i believe the VM now supports pass through on USB so it should work, i have an old IrDA adaptor that wont install on my w7 PC but it will on the XP VM

Thanks for the USBDVIEW-tip, quite a nice piece of software! However it didn't help me with my problem. Using a computer which never had WP7 connected before didn't help either...

[Q] Flashing under Windows 8 x64

Hello flashers!
I got HD2 in my hands to flash and it's pretty impossible to do any task related to it.
After pluggin in device switches to USB (in 3-color screen of course)
It says its cotulla hspl.
After some time I managed to get it in device manager - It's device name is now HTC USB Sync.
But not - any RUU including classical CustomRUU and extracted from HD2Toolkit are not possible to connect to device.
I tried other cables, installind Windows Mobile Device Center, other ports, other stuff and restarting PC (It helps sometimes to get it detected!)
Any custom stuff for windows 8 already?
Cheers people, and looking forward for reply!

[Q] help!!!!!! flashed a windows phone 7 rom and now I can't get back to stock

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.
