Cliffs Notes Version:
On a clean Windows 7 computer what do I need to install to get my HD2 to be recognized properly so I can flash some new roms? Drivers? ADB? HTC Sync? All of the Above?
Details:
I have had my HD2 running Android builds for a long time now but haven't flashed a new rom in over a year. I just broke my GS3 and need to dust off the old HD2 to tide me over until I get a new phone. I am having issues getting my computer to recognize the HD2 properly however so I can flash new roms. Both of my computers have had drivers installed to get the GS3 and the Nexus 7 connected to them since and I think the drivers are getting all messed up. I am going to go use a computer that has had no drivers of any kind on it to get it to connect but I am still unsure of what I need to install to get it connected. Drivers? ADB? HTC Sync? All of the above? The HD2 Toolkit has a button for downloading drivers but the link is broken and everything I download since seems to not work.
Thanks for any help or direction!

I actually just flashed mine on a clean Win 7 installation the other day.
I only needed to download the Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 and that was it.
I think I used this link:

You can use Windows 7 to update to any ROM, whether shipped or cooked. I can't even sync with Windows Mobile Device Centre due to drivers not loading and I can still get the phone into bootloader mode and change ROMs of my choice. I also successfully installed Hard SPL using my Windows 7 computer (64 bit version).
Somehow, when the HD2 goes into bootloader mode, Windows 7 recognises it properly and loads the correct drivers. From there, it's an easy step to use the RUU (ROM Update Utility) to upload ROMs and Radios.
I can't promise you'll be able to sync your HD2 though so if you can, congratulations - I've spent 4 weeks trying to fix the drivers not loading issue with no success.
i am able to sync my HD2 to windows 7 64bit.
i just didnt knwo if it was possible to ROM update with windows 7
thanx for the info
I can't use HTC sync between my pc and my legend, i can't transfer any files between them either, the only thing i can do when i connect it to my PC, is to recharge it..
My PC says that it cannot install any drivers, and i have tried to install them manually, but without any luck.
What should i do ?

What OS and version are you using for starters (i.e. Windows XP, Vista, 7 etc)
And not last, what ROM do you have? Stock HTC or a cooked one?

I suddenly had a problem where my Legend would charge over USB but there was no indication on the phone that sync was available.
I tried a bunch of different roms. Even going so far as to revert to a stock ROM.
Nothing worked. I ended up putting it in as a warranty return for repair.
One strange thing was it would still connect in Fastboot and recovery, give that a try. If so, you have the same strange problem I had.
E.E.
I have tried on both win XP and Win 7, i have unrooted my legend to ver. 1.31

I think that i may have the same problem as you, though i can charge it through the computer. But i can't access my SD card and i can't use HTC sync
HTC Sync is a dog
I tried to root my Magic however it has perfected SPL 1.76.2008 so I tried the goldcard method but I only managed to change the firmware from 1.6 to 1.5. I cannot use fastboot so now I'm trying to install a new RUU so that I can follow the steps to install CM however I get the USB error (on windows 7).
I already tried reinstalling the latest HTC Sync and that seems to recognise my phone but when I open the Setup for RUU, Sync doesnt recognise it anymore until I close setup and replug USB. And yes, I inserted the goldcard already. Any help is appreciated.
I have pretty much the same problem here, but I do not have a goldcard (which I dont thing its necessary). When I try to transfer some file to my phone, it starts and after a couple of seconds, unplug from storage mode (Robot turns green again :[ ).
I have Cyanogenmod 6.1.0-DS and Windows 7 32bit.
Even over wifi, this happens. Seems to me thats some storage problem with the rom, but cyanogenmod is widely used and tested.
Can someone help us?
Debugging on?
Of course, I followed every single step correctly maybe theres a problem with windows 7.

On linux now and had forgotten this. Reread everything from the beginning and recalled that I've had issues with the drivers from HTC Sync driver not working when I had downgraded my G1.
The "official" google sdk driver covers all builds and modes (RUU uses adb mode.) Maybe try reinstalling with them instead?
Kind Regards,

Hi there,
I flashed my HD2 several times before, using winXP. Now I got a new laptop with
Win 7 64 bit. I want to flash my phone with a WM6.5 Dutty ROM. The phone syncs fine when running but when it switches to bootloader, the laptop doesn't recognize the phone anymore. It does not switch to USB and on the Laptop I get the message that there is no driver for "Qualcomm CDMA technologies MSM"
Help please, I tried to find some answers but couldn't find anything!
Thanks.

Mate, this issue has been known since the beginning of HD2 using win 7 or vista. There is a thread duscussing about that, but unfortunately I forget the link for that.
I also use win 7 64 bit and I experienced that too.
What I did to solve it was turning off my phone and leave it for a while (at least 5 minutes) and also turn off my pc.
After that i turn it on again the pc and the phone and plug the phone to different usb port. It works.
If you still have problem, you can try to reinstall windows mobile center.
goodluck
Well, it's been almost a year since I've had the upgrade bug. I have been running the 8107 (unlocked, I think it was a YUKI/XBOXMOD ROM) version of Windows Phone 7.5 for a while now. I finally saw there's a new version, and I want to flash it.
Perhaps it is because it has been so long since I've done this, but I cannot get the USB connection I need when running DWI.exe.
I've tried all the fixes on my Windows 7 x64 bit computer and I'm stumped.
Tried running customRUU.exe while running DWI.exe...didn't work
Tried making sure DWI.exe was being run as Administrator...didn't work
Can anyone help? I'm just trying to get from one WP7 ROM to another...I already have HSPL 2.08 and Mag 1.13.
Is this a problem with the phone or the USB drivers on my PC?
Sorry for this, I used to remember all this stuff but my HD2 has been rock solid (except for touch tones not registering on calls...which means I can't call any customer service centers that require you to enter selections via touch tones) for so long I can't figure this out...
Do I need to do a hard reset? Go back to WM 6.5 and start all over?
Is it the USB drivers? Where are the ones you need for this?
Any help is appreciated. LONG LIVE THE HD2!!
UDPATE: Nevermind, re-installing the WMDC for WM 6.5 did the trick.
