[Q] Root UMS? + a few questions - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hello, I updated to 7.8 a few days ago and it's marvellous, i was just wondering how to get usb mass storage of the root of my windows phone. I was able to do this shortly after the installation, however it stopped showing the root of the device and now it just displays it like it would display a zune mp3 player.
Now, I've identified the problem, as i was making this post, it seems that windows mobile device center is the culprit. WMDC does not run for a long time,(After boot, afterwards, even if I run the wmdc app, it doesnt work!) and sometimes does not even run at all, does anyone have any idea what's causing this?

hi, if you go to wmdc on your phone and tick all three boxes before plugging in the phone,you've completed the first requirement.The next one is to have zune starting automaticaly when the phone is usb plugged.Now just go for it.Should be that easy.
However,when you close zune,the phone disconnects from wmdc.
This is what i have noticed, how i do it and how it works for my phone.
Regards

Another option is to use you 200 mb fat32 partition!
Restart your phone, go magldr ...
Mass storage, and here it comes..

i am more than sure keller112 wants to use more than the 200mb. now, the process you desribed opens only the 200mb, whereas the wmdc opens the device completely, giving u more choices and functionality to the device. i am sure the developers wouldn't have addapted the wmdc to wp7 on hd2 if we were happy with the 200mb the usb mass storage in magldr opens to us. what do you say?

[Q] Any one else having trouble with usb ?

Sorry if this is a duplicate couldnt see anything about it.
installed wp7 every thing works fine
so i thought id try and connect it up to my computer
the phone and computer make a noise when connected
but there is no signs of it on the laptop
it wont connect to zune or wmdc Helpppp.
ps. im using windows 7 operating system for my laptop.
Why are you posting a question in the development forum. This is why mods have a full time job cleaning the forums
MY bad
my bad, how do i move it ?
I'm not sure whether this helps, but I'll try. On my PC the Mobile Device Center doesn't recognize my LEO70, you have to download the Zune application for that. No big deal really, you can do with that app everything you were used to in MDC.
Fix.
I managed to fix it in device manager it was a corrupt driver.
i just right click and reinstalled and it worked from there.
cheers for the help though people!
I have this same problem, but I couldn't seem to fix it. There is no driver at all. It says device not recognized when i go to device manager. As winmo 6.5 and android, the usb/laptop detects my hd2 just fine. But as soon as I flashed wp7, it is not being detected. *pull hair*
anyone kind enough to post the HD2 WP7 usb driver so that I could manually install it?

USB Connectivity

Seems that once flashing my phone to WP7 I can no longer see it in windows. I got drivers for it and everything but it still doesn't show up.
Have you got Zune installed?

I suppose you havent activate it, so you cant use Zune. Until you manage to activate it, you can see the phone on windows as a USB storage, check this:

It works for me

It wouldn't install drivers without Zune. You can only "see" the device in Windows after a registry hack

[Q] USB connection issue HD2 WP7

I have had the easiest run so far in getting my HD2 to work with WP7, installling DFT's ROM and getting an activation code was a breeze. All is good except for one issue. When I connect by USB to my PC, the PC shows a window saying that it is seeking and then installing Device Driver Software. It does this every time I connect and then concludes by saying that my unidentified device is now ready for use. Zune then tells me that it can't make a connection between my HD2 and the internet but it can still sync files etc. I have installed Windows Device Manager (with .NET4 and developer tools etc.) and it too can't connect with my HD2. I've pursued the references in various threads to firewall issues and so on but I'm none the wiser.
Can anyone advise me what I should look at or what to try?
Other than this, I just want to say a huge THANKYOU to all at XDA and the extended community of interested/interesting folks who make it such a fantastic resource for everyone - BRAVO!
im having this EXACT same problem! anyone got any answers?
Zune
Guys,
Did you install Zune Desktop Software?
Once you have installed Zune, it should pick up your device.
Let me know if that does not work
I've tried everything except doing a hard-reset. And, yes, of course I installed Zune on PC
i assume you mean Windows mobile device center?
you dont need it
it should connect and be done, the fact that it isnt remember the correct driver suggests something on the driver side is buggered.
With the phone connected go in to the computers device manager, and right click on anything to do with the phone, including and unknown devices, right click and uninstall them all, before it installes them all again, disconnect the phone
look for a tool on google called USBDVIEW
make sure you get the correct version 32bit / 64bit
You will also need the USB IDs if you want to see who makes each device
put it on your PC and run it in admin mode
Locate anything todo with the phone and right click and remove them all
Remove Zune
Remove Windows mobile Device center
restart your PC
install zune first
Then plug in your phone into a different USB port and not in to a HUB
See how you get on with that
Second thoughts, ive attached the 32 and 64 bit versions, both already have the USB device IDs file with them, just copy the zip file to your PC, extract, and run as admin, all credit goes to the owner of this, i found them at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
sorry double post
Didn't work. =/
UPDATE: It did work
Zune cannot connect to an HD2 running Windows Phone 7 unless the time and date match on the phone and the computer. Make sure that your date and time are set up correctly on the phone, and do match the time and date with your computer. It is a long shot, but it worked for me before.
For the driver problem, dazza9075 gave the best advice.
Hmmm, so much for that fun. I was running WP 7004 when the computer first couldn't find the phone, after doing what dazza said the driver problem got fixed, and Zune found the phone. I updated from 7004 to 7008, how ever the phone kinda crashed at step 8 (restarting your phone) so i restarted it manually, the update is working fine except now Zune can't find my phone again. Not even after doing Dazzas method again.
I will try to change the time zones maybe that will do the trick.

[Q] HTC HD2 USB doesn't detect with MAGLDR

Hello,
I recently purchased HTC HD2 from someone. It came to me with Android 2.2 froyo installed in it through NAND. Now when I am trying to put ICS replacing froyo or when I am trying to put WINMO 7.5 Mango along with android it doesn't detect USB device connection.
All other features are working perfectly like, phone charging through USB, USB detection for SD card etc.
USB doesn't detect only when I try to run through MAGLDR. For example: when I am switching ON my phone by pressing Voume down key along with power key, colourful screen appears with "SERIAL" written on it. Now when I connect phone to my PC through USB it doesn't change to "USB" from "SERIAL".
Also when I am switching ON my phone by continuously pressing power key to get into MAGLDR mode and trying to flash using the 5th option "USB Flasher Mode", here also I can see just "Wait USB…" rather as per the tutorials it should display "Wait USB…USB".
Now because of this issue I am unable to use my HD2 using WINMO or with any other android OS.
Please help with any option so as I can use the USB feature or to install different OS. My motiv behind purchasing this set was only the customization I can do with the phone. Now without which my motive is getting failed.. Please help me guys :crying: ..
Thanks,
Harjeet
What's your PC setup?
A few things,,
In wmdc untick allow USB connections,, the wmdc that comes with vista/win7 isn't the latest version, Google the Microsoft wmdc page and manually download+install, try not to use a 64 bit windows machine if you have the option, (winxp for preference), running an os through any virtual machine type setup can be problematic, try different USB ports, for magldr it needs the android drivers,,,they can be found in various ways, they're linked in the nand toolkit thread, or I think installing "myphoneexplorer " on the PC installs them too, or Google the android sdk (that's a long and complicated way to get them)
Thanks for replying..
First thing.. Do I need to install WMDC when I am not having windows OS itself in my phone? This is just a question because as per my knowledge I don't need to install WMDC unless I am using windows in my Mobile.
At present mobile is purely an android phone with android OS installed in NAND.
And yes I am having Windows XP 32 bit with me. I already tried with different data cables and in different USB slots but USB connection for installing new OS doesn't work. Other then this all other features of USB are working perfectly.
Please revert in case my opinion is wrong.
Thanks,
Harjeet

no its not, its a windows mobile phone with a hacked winmo bootloader allowing it to run a custom bootloader (magldr or clk) which enables android to run.
Anything you do in the winmo bootloader (stripey screen - hspl, task29/flashing magldr/flashing stock roms, flashing radios - ) all requires windows mobile usb drivers.
Anything you do from the magldr screen requires android usb drivers.

Hello all.
When you've got some problems with you datacable via phone/pc is also this a solution.
Be sure you've make a copy of your SD-card and after when you copied SD to PC (harddisc) via datacable or cardreader and after this you gonna formatting your SD-card or you buy a new SD-card.
Then put new or formatted SD-card into your phone and started it up in bootloadermenu (colorscreened) <volume down> and after this you wil see now in place only "serial" changed into "USB".
I'll be hope that this wil working.
I've my HTC HD2 also working when i fixed this.
HTC HD2 / PACman Android version 4.1.2 (latest version) / Magldr 1.13 / CWM recovery 3.2.0.0 <this combine works very simple and als this Android rom is stable and fast without automatically rebooting time.
For more you've check <HTC HD2 Android roms>
I wish you good luck with your phone...
i have the same problem
I had the same problem on my Windows 7 x64. Then I tried to connect HD2 to my older Win XP notebook and there it worked. So I found somewhere, I should update drivers in my Windows 7 system. I downloaded file "drvupdate-amd64.exe" from Microsoft (search in Google for "Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 Driver for Windows Vista (64-bit)"), installed it and then it started to work (it took a while, before it started to work, but it started). When I connected my HD2, Windows found the driver, installed it and "SERIAL" changed to "USB" finally.

I confess I haven't read all answers so it might be a repetition but what I think is you might have made changes in your operating system, specially in SYSTEM REGISTRY that deals with communicating your devices chipset in particular mode, I think it is a QUALCOMM device, now you should do following things:-
First if you have registry backup, apply that and revert back to previous system registry or in case you have not, restore your OS to any previous restore point.
Then restart system, connect USB cable and start it in the particular mode you asked in question (vol down+power), it should try detecting driver.
If it can't, better solution to try finding QUALCOMM MSM driver for HD2 separately is to download windows active sync/htc sync, which might be having these drivers built in, download it and if it doesn't help, restart your system, then try again, it should work, in case doesn't PM me, as I won't be following this post, most probably even you ain't

[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.
