Hello,
I've been googling around for a workaround but I cannot seem to find one that actually works. The problem is, when I try to connect my phone to the PC and, for example, want to flash it with an official rom - it simply cannot find it. It can find the SD card when I mount it.
When I put it in, Windows attempts to install a few drivers but fails at the ADB. According to several sites, I can just use the one from HTC Sync or from the Android SDK. It installs fine but it still doesn't seem to be able to contact my phone. I cannot sync it either.
Anyone got an idea? I seem to be on my last nerve.
I dont have any problems here. What windows beta release do you use?
Final version. Released today. It's Windows 7 Professional.
First, set the phone to debugg mode...
Ok here we go (at least it works for me)...
1.- Remove the drivers actuaslly installed (it might get tricky, as I don't know exactly how to remove the registry keys)
2.- Once you have cleaned windows from the drivers, connect the phone to the computer and let it recognize everything (Probably it would not recognize the ADB drviers, so far we are good)
3.- After the drivers are installed, go and check in control panel/Devices Administration (or something like that... I have Windows in spanish so I don't know exactly how is called on english... By the way, sorry if my english sound a little bit weird =P..)
4.- Here you should see probably a device as "not recognized" or what ever is called... Here is the part where you need to select the driver manually.
5.- Check the phone driver folder (you should have it, if you don't get them)
6.- When you see the different options, select the one called HTC Dream Composite ADB Interface
7.- You are done =D...
I hope I made it clear enough for you...
If you have any doubt, add me to MSN xnofrostx - hotmail.com (I don't put the @ because I hate spam xD so you should add only the xnofrostx =P...
Hope you can get it to work...
I couldn't, for the life of me, get it to work so I put Windows XP on a vmware and flashed it through there. Works wonders.
Sorry for not being able to help.
I run Windows 7 Evaluation copy. I have had no problems. In fact there was nothing for me to set up, it just saw it on first attempt.

I cannot sync either, when installing the sync program it gives an error but continues installation, then my phone says it cannot detect htc sync on my computer, but im gonna try this link http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/

Hi all,
It's been a while, but I am back with HD2. I have a problem. I have win7 business on all off my computers, I instaled latest activesync, but I keep getting error connection. When installing drivers, I get the unknown device, so instalation failed.
Not even bluetooth recognition works.
Any suggestions, please?

If you are using Windows 7 Business, I would guess you mean you are using Windows Mobile Device Center, yes? In Windows Device Manager are you set up to automatically download drivers? Are you getting any errors in the Sync Center? There is a lot of information you have to supply before anyone can troubleshoot the problem you are having.
There are a lot of steps you can take, most of which you can find by doing a search of XDA. If that fails, then come back with a more detailed explanation of what you have done, and people will try to help troubleshoot for you.
Thanks for looking,
and yes I have been searching a lot for information allready before I made a new thread.
I have win7 business and yes it does download drivers automaticly.
I will try and search for manual driver setup, but would be very thankful if any of you could give me some hints.

In Device Manager you can click on Portable Devices and see if you see your HD2 there, if you do, then right click on it. You can find options to manually install drivers. If that does not work, in the Mobile Device Center you can configure how the center is supposed to connect to your HD2. Have you tried that yet? Also, make sure you are not using a USB hub for connections. You can try changing USB ports to try to reinstall drivers.
I am trying hard, this is the error I get:
P.S.: in activesync all options are on, so no problems there, but I have tried all of them.
In that case, try uninstalling the device in Device Manager, and starting over again. It does seem to be a driver problem. Another trick you can try is on the HD2, under Settings, USB to PC, try unticking Enable advanced network functionality, and then try to reinstall the drivers.
Another thing you can try is deleting the partnership in Windows Mobile Device Center and creating a new partnership.
Is there a wa I could find the driver somewhere and install it myself?
Not beeing able to find the right one...

In the Leo ROM forum the thread on MTTY has some Windows 7 drivers you can download I believe, but that will take awhile.
Are you using Win7 32 or 64 bit?
win7 32 bit. I tried to download them through windows update, but I got an error as well.
So I am on a quest for drivers....

If you are familiar with computers, you can try this with Win7 drivers you download for HD2.
You did try uninstalling your device in Device Manager, and trying another USB port to install it on? It seems really odd that Win7 is not finding the right drivers for you, and that persists even after you uninstall and reinstall the device.
No luck so far, any more ideas?
Update:
I tried the same thing on another laptop, same specs, same win7 business, worked like a charm.
So must be this win7 problem I think. Any ideas what to do? I can't remove mobile device center, so I could try and reinstall it. The icons stay in my control panel.
Anybody?
I just can't imagine this is only happening to me.

Did you have any luck yet in solving the problem?
Nope my dear helper,
I found out this is windows7 problem. I still get the first error can't install device driver, because the device is not installed on the computer.
Something must be wrong, but I was getting a head, network driver installed fine, windows mobile device program runs fine, I made a clean install with register delete etc...
I just can' seem to find this to work.
i had some problem the first time i plugged my HD2 on win7 64 ultim.
nothing happened, no activesync, no nothing...
i opened sync center, nothing...
windows updates found me windows mobile device center with upgrade devices, the thing installed but all still worked bad, impossible to activesync, no driver for my HD2, and i know nothing about phones and windows, it's my first windows mobile.
so after hours of fighting, i decided to DL the app windows mobile device center on microsoft download website, then i installed the thing and oh miracle, my HD2 was detected, the app Win M D Center was asking me now with the pic of my hd2 in the prog to chose between settings as the first thing installed by windows update always froze at win mob device center splash screen...
i resume here but it took me the all afternoon to finally resolve this problem.
something went wrong with windows update install and to reinstall the all app was the easy way to fix the activesync problem.
If you did already re-download Windows Mobile Device Center and that did not work on the one recalcitrant computer, maybe you might need to update your BIOS or download the latest drivers for you motherboard. Sometimes problems can crop up if the computer does not have the most updated BIOS and motherboard drivers. How old is the computer you are using?
Well, after calling microsoft support and HTC support and doing for 36 hours nothing but trying I finally reinstalled my hole system. So new clean install of windows 7 business and it works like acharm. Where did it went wrong, I don't know, there had to be some register issue I think. Windows mobile center worked ok, the connection with the phone worked, but just not recognizing the device. Well I would of done the instalation sooner, If I knew this one is gonna be so hard to do.

Well, glad you finally solved your problem, and that this time the blame was not just placed on HTC or the Leo. Sad though that you had to go through so much to get the darn thing to work. I just installed a new operating system for my neighbor, and there is still more work to do on it. Not a fun thing to do.
hello people first apologize if I posted in the wrong place, I bought a shift with a month of use still under warranty I got it yesterday, and installed windows 7 with this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php? t = 513638) formatted it 4 times, did everything to the letter and sent my card over wi-fi network and not connect it up to find my network no longer connects at all, I called HTC allowed Brazil they said I lost the warranty formatted as a shift please help me I do not know what to do already formatted for desktop and notebook dozens more is the first time you step so I do not think it is hardware problem until he finds the network with optimal signal just not connecting.

good guy did as you posted step by step comtinua only is it the same hardware problem? NOTE: The file (Extension Kit USBLanDriver) Web site does not install on htc shift. aki xda found another that worked on in his place, I'm thinking about going back to where I think his original OS files to do a restoration? as part of recovery was deleted.

Stay calm bro. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your Shift. No need to contact HTC for now.
1. The USB extension kit has nothing to do with your original issue - Wi-Fi
2. Have you enabled Wi-fi. You know how to do this? Hit the Shift Control Centre button and then enable wifi from there.....
3. You need to install drivers
4. If all else fail start all over.
5. To re-install Windows Vista is piece of cake. Hit FN+F3 when the Shift is re-starting and you will be re-installing Vista in seconds.
6. But... Dont panic! Installing Windows 7, back to Vista, then off to 7 again and even back will not damage your device in any way.
7. Forget about the HTC people and their warranty bull****. As soon as you re-install Vista the device will be exactly the way it left the factory.....
8. You are in the right forum where the xda Community will assist you for as long as you are in need....
9. Dont Panic!!!!!
10. Dont Panic!!!

Hi all,
I don't know if my problem as already been solved but I didn't found anything.
At first, I have to say I installed windows 8 as principal operating system (I know, it's stupid...).
I used windows 8 without big problem since the deployment but today, after a bug, I reboot the PC and now I have just black screen with the message "operating system missing"... The system does not boot, just black screen with the message
Does anybody have an idea how I can solve this problem ?
(Sorry for my english)
you can put dev preview DVD or USB whatever you used to install.
and run the installation and then repair Windows 8 (if it detects a Windows installed). with system restore or maybe it will repair. if not you will have to refresh your win8.
also it can be (if you have more hard drives) that you aren't starting the one with Windows 8. so you can try and see in bios if thats the case. thats when i have seen this message.
Thanks for your answer.
When I run the pc, it doesn't launch anything, just the black screen. It's probably the bios but I can't do anything, just the message but I'm not allowed to do anything :-(
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Finally, the problem is quite solved.
When I have this message, by pushing ctrl+alt+suprr, if I'm enough fast, I can push F12 and choose wich part I want to run. Then I placed my W7 backup on CD and runned it.
It was not easy but W7 is successfull restored.
Of course, all my personal data were deleted...
But whe I reboot the PC, I've always the message "missing operating system", then I have to ctrl+alt+suprr and after F12, and then choose the hard drive, and the PC W7 boot.
It's not yet perfect but for the moment the PC works...
Thats exactly i told you. of course it changes between bios and motherboard. your problem is not your windows. its the priority of your harddrive.
I dont know what motherboard you have.
so i will find pictures to explain what you have to look for. because you didnt have to repair your Windows if thats the case. the problem its (like i mentioned) your harddrive priority.
so you go to your bios and look for the Boot section.
http://www.motherboards-reviews.com...ges/ASUS_M2N68-AM_PLUS_BIOS_boot_settings.jpg
if you go to Boot Device Priority, you can check if your harddrive is second (the one with your OS) and if you want your cd or usb to boot first if not you can leave it first.
http://motherboards-reviews.com/ASU...s/ASUS_M4N78-AM_BIOS_Boot_Device_Priority.jpg
something like this.
and if that part is right you have to go to Hard disk drives
http://www.laptops-battery.co.uk/images/maintain/bios-boot-hard-disk-drives-445x261.jpg
so there you have to check if your harddrive is first or the correct one. and ready... its probably this Hard disk devices thing. and then you don't have to use that method of changing manually which boots
Thanks for your help
I'm not at home for the moment. I'll try your method tomorrow or wednesday, I'll let you know, but thank you for the time you spent on my problem.

So I caused lots of bugs by messing around with the os and drivers, and I would like to wipe my HDD clean and start over. Is it possible to format the drive and install Windows with the same serial? Will I run into problems with activation? I have never done this before because with Windows 7 I used my factory recovery disk, and I used pirated copies of xp/2000 on my old computer

If you go to the PC settings in the start screen. I has an options for "refreshing windows" and for "reformatting windows". I believe that if you go through it this way, you should be fine. Let me know what you find out.
Well I actually installed twice myself. Was an accident, making breakfast while it installed off a USB thumb drive. It rebooted while I was away, and saw no hint that it had, started answering questions and clicked one too many before I realized it had started over and was already installed. So I had it validate the key twice.
Should be good either way, the key OEM or retail will have the same hash value for the servers so won't flag as a new install.
Previous poster has a point, under more settings from the not metro interface, sorry not at my win 8 box so can't get too detailed, you can tell it to refresh. Should bring it back to the fresh off the disk state.
I became impatient and reinstalled. Everything works fine, but how can I get my metro apps to sync? Do I have to manually install them again?
Timed setup, on my core i7 620m/500gb 7200rpm hdd it took 12:51 from hitting the install button to rebooting to initial setup (account etc.). After completing this in a reasonable amount of time, the computer was ready to use by 17:58. Fastest windows install ever.
