WMDC was working fine for me until I upgraded to RC1 of Windows 7. It did tell me as I upgraded that WMDC wasn't compatible. The only thing I have installed which isn't in fact. Windows own mobile device centre is the only thing not compatible that I had!?!?!?
Anyway, I guess I'll try a reinstall, but does anyone know how I can get it WMDC working again?
(I'm using Dutty's 3.3 and W7 RC1 64bit)
Hi. Now I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate RC Evaulation copy. Build 7100 and everything is working fine. Even rom upgrades working with no poroblem.
hey guys - I'm using RC1 too but the 64-bit - never tried to use it to flash my device though (dual boot with XP)
its the last piece of the puzzle I need in order to migrate completely to W7 and wave goodbye to WinXP.
can you both confirm which versions you are using please? and if 64-bit did you have to install the vista 64-bit driver found on these forums or did it work 'straight out of the box'?
thanks
I have 32-bit version of Windows 7 RC. I just connect mine HTC TOUCH HD to PC and Windows install the drivers and Windows Mobile Device Center install automaticly. Now everything is working. cheers
As I said, I have 64 bit and WMDC wont even start for me
I have Win 7 RC1 64bits, and Duttys HD V2,4
You need to uncheck Enable faster data sync in Settings/Connections/USB to PC..
That dit the trick for me...
Hi! I have 2 notebooks, one with win7 rc1-32bits, the other with win7 rc1-64 bits. I connect my Touch HD on both, succesfully.
Htc Touch HD Aka Blackstone
Windows 7 RC (Build7100)
Everything works GREAT!!!
Flashing, synchronizing!
Must be your config
Windows 7 RC x64 here, can flash without problems, after downgrading HTC-USB drivers to active sync drivers
Windows 7 here X6. Everything works perfect
I'm using Windows 7 RC1 64BIT without any problem.
Have you upgraded from Windows 7 Beta to the RC?
Than you must uninstal WMDC before. After the upgradeprocess reinstall WMCD again.

This fixed it for me. Thanks
You shouldn't need to disable faster data connections. The reason that this method works is that it detects a new device and installs new drivers.
There are a few things to do, I am not sure which in particular does it, but I'vbe upgraded Windows 7 many times and some combination has always worked.
Reinstall WMDC 7.1
Manage partnerships and delete them all.
When you plug in your phone go to device manager, find your phone (if faster data connections is shown, it will be listed as a portable device and a Lan connection)
click "uninstall" on these items, and delete drivers if this option is available.
unplug phone. Wait
Plug it back in.
Let it install drivers
If this still doesn't work. Click on the devices (network connection and portable device) selelct "upgrade drivers" on each, searching the internet.

To be honest, now it works I'm not going to mess with it unless I have to. Will it be a slower transfer to the HD?
Hi all,
I had similar trouble with Windows 7 RC, however I followed the instructions posted at: http://capitalhead.com/articles/ena...synchronization-on-windows-7-x64-and-x86.aspx and that did the trick.
If I'm not mistaken, Windows 7 is supposed to download WMDC automatically, however it never did that for me. Hope it helps someone else.

w7-64bit RC1 here....
WMDC works fine (stock install) - use it both at home and at work, and i flash by renaming and copying rom image to SDcard\blacimg.nhb
Unistall
Try to uninstall WMDC and download and install another one from the internet! It work for me and i had the same problem...
W7 and Blackstone here. Flashing Syncing ... works great.
I know this thread is old but I am having this problem and none of the suggestions I have found out on the internet have solved it. I am basically having the same issue as most people in this thread have had but the REAL problem is that Windows Mobile Device Center will NOT install no matter what I try. I run the setup for it and it looks fine until it gets to 1 second left on the progress bar. Then it sits...and sits...and sits...until finally the bar rolls backward and the installation quits. No error messages, no nothing and no WMDC. I am running Win7RC x64. I will never get syncing working if I can't get WMDC actually installed in the first place. I did look in the event log and it seems there is an error related to VSS every time I attempt an install on this app. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi. I`ve finally found the way to connect mtty and run rom update utility in Vista. tested on rtm 6000.
First of all, connect your device when it`s in bootloader.
next, open Windows Mobile Device Center and in connection settings uncheck Allou USB Connections.
next, goto contol panel-administrative tools-services and start windows mobile device connectivity and windows mobile device 2003 connectivity
next, goto device manager and find your device and update the driver to the one from AS 4, i attached it, wceusbsh.inf.
then, kill wmdc.exe with any taskmanager
You are Ready. run ruu or connect MTTY. I guess that vista default driver uses another port, not WCEUSBSH001, that`s why we have to use the old driver.
Didnt work for WM6 update
is this supposed to work for the WM6 upgrade?
Didnt work for me.
Attached the files for x64 version of vista (taken them from x64 XP).
Drivers are unsigned, so you have to turn off driver signature enforcement in vista. Google how to do this.
And yes, this can be used to upgrade uni to WM6.
No this method did not work for me for O2 Atom.
Using Vista Business with released final windows mobile device driver. No use. Able to sync perfectly. But RUU ROM update is failing. Trying to disable the firewall also no good.
omg thank you so much for this! i was trying to downgrade my hermes from 1.06 to 1.04 CID but vista's windows mobile device centre or whatever its called is dodgy as hell and i couldn't run RUU. you are a god send, thanks again!
yes, this is working out very well with vista.
Thank you.
Vista cannot find drivers for Hermes after flash
I used these drivers to allow me to flash my Hermes with the latest Cingular image. After the device reboots, Vista no longer recognizes it. Vista prompts me to search for a driver but cannot find one. Is this related to installing the back-level drivers above? Anyone know how to recover from this?
Thanks!
No joy....
This did not work for me. I'm running Vista Ultimate and a TMO MDA.. I hope there is a solution soon.. I really want WM6 on my phone, but I don't want to have to have an XP machine around....

Thank You! Worked for me, using Vista Ultimate.
Thank you! It works...
I was also unable to get this working. I am running Vista Enterprise RTM. I followed the steps in the list exactly, and also tried restarting the services (they were already started) and killed mobsync.exe (Sync Center). No such luck . RUU crashes while trying to read information from my phone. Has anyone who had problems earlier got it working yet?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm having difficulty updating the Build in driver with the one you supplied. As soon as I try to update the driver I get a meesage saying the one installed is already the most recent. As soon as I uninstall the original driver it is redetected and reinstalled.
Anyone have any help on this.
Thanks,
Tom
Right click on the device and click "Update Driver Software"
Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
Below the textbox, click "Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer"
Now you can click "Have Disk" and choose the drivers you downloaded
Pick the device it pulls from the .inf file
Step through the rest of the wizard and you should be set.
The wording of the buttons may vary but should be similar to what you have (I'm running Vista).
RUU Version
What version of the RUU software is working, I tried the 2.00.1 that came with the 2.61 radio upgrade and it did not work.
I, too, am using 2.00.1. I'm going to try these steps on one other machine I have that's running Vista. We'll see what happens!
Thanks for providing a solution that works on Vista.
Upgraded my Hermes using mtty and RUU, no problems with the driver posted.
vista sucks big time...
best way -> uninstall -> xp

That zip file is corrupt. Anyone else know where I can get it?
Also, why do the steps in the first post say to uncheck "Allow USB connections"? When I do that, I can't find it in the device manager.
it workes finally but i realised that the 2.00.1 RUU is problematic, older versions work fine
OK. I have a strange problem. I built a new PC and loaded Win7 x64 on it. Everything was working fine. I was even using my TP2 to tether. This worked for about an hour. After a few reboots and software installs, I could no longer connect to my TP2 either through tethering or through WMDC.
I struggled for hours to figure out the problem, but nothing worked. Finally I reinstalled Win7 hoping that would fix it. Nope. It did not. No matter what I try, Win7 fails to install the driver for the device. I have downloaded new copies of WMDC from MS and that hasnt helped.
Any thoughts? It is working fine on my Vista machine.
It may not be of great help, but mine works fine with w7 x64 (with USB). I am using the HTC official 6.5 rom.
It was a little more tricky to use the internet sharing with BT, a driver could not be found for a component but everything was working though. I had to force windows to use a driver for that unknown device to rid of this cosmetic issue.
RE-download the WMDC from microsoft. There is a driver update that will install. The WMDC that comes with Win7 didn't work for me either, but after I reinstalled it worked great.
Also, your ROM may be runnin a USBtoPC service for the Popup Window to appear. You might want to soft reset your phone and try again.

I cannot connect two my tilt ( 1 and 2 ) to windows 7
Hi all,
Has anyone got the new HTC Sync 3.0.5387 working on Windows 7 PCs?
I get "Connected" on the phone screen.
I get a "->" connected logo on the task bar on W7.
... but when I open the main HTC Sync app window on the PC it says "no device connected"
Any known fix?
Works fine on mine - reinstall the drivers?

Tried it on both my PC and Laptop. Same result. ;(
I uninstalled all HTC apps and rebooted before installing the V3 HTC Sync.
I also tried installing V3 on an XP Virtual Machine, and it works fine on that).
Try using a different USB port, such as the ones on the back of your PC. That's what I had to do.
Ehm...isn't 3.0 for Wildfire only?

No luck I'm afraid, but thanks anyway. I think having the previous V2 HTC Sync installed previously has left something behind, despite full uninstall/reboot.

Officially, perhaps yes. However, if I install in on an XP (Virtual Machine) it finds my Desire and works fine.
Sometimes you will have to turn on "USB Debugging" under Settings -> Applications -> Development for HTC Sync to work for the first time, you can then turn it off if you wish afterwards.
I am using HTC sync 3 and it works ok, you just need to turn off the USB debugging and you will be ok.
If this is for the Wildfire only, why would you bother? Wouldn't it just be a slightly bloated version of the old (officially Desire-compatible) one?

If I turn USB Debugging off, it just turns itself back on next time I connect the phone. Still not working for me on W7, but OK in a Windows XP Mode VM.
When connected to Windows 7, the handset screen says "Synchronisation Status: Connected", but HTC Sync applet shows "No Device connected".
I can see 3 tasks in task manager: adb.exe, HTC.exe, and htcUPCTLoader

HTC Sync 3.x allows significantly better selection of what gets synchronised, and also provides iTunes integration/sync.
Anyhow, most likely HTC will roll out V3 for all their handsets in time, so I can either fix the problem now or later.
Either way, it's not working for me on my Windows 7 - on 2 PCs. Both PCs have had old V2 HTC Sync installed prior to V3.
If it is only for the Wildfire, why is the default disconnected phone image a Hero?

When HTCSync connects correctly in Windows XP Mode VM, the picure of a Desire is shown in the app window.
This program may only currently be downloadable from the Wildfire support area, but it's definitly NOT only working for that model.
When I tried v3 with Win 7 x64 it wouldn't work properly until I ran it with Administrator settings.

Tried that, and also tried compatibility mode for both XP and Vista... but thanks for the suggestions everyone...
I think I will just have to live with the XP Mode VM app, which works fine, albeit more slowly than a host-OS install.
I have a Windows 7 laptop and it connects without even running in compatibilty mode or as administrator. I can even sync!
Only problem is I don't see any Itunes playlists when I select to sync with Itunes, anyone of you have Itnues playlist showing? Do they sync ok? I moved my Itunes database (to get it out of my documents) and maybe that is the problem?
Works fine for me, and I can sync itunes playlists.

I had v2 before I updated to v3. It's working fine.
The only difference is I didn't uninstall my v2. I just put v3 on top of it. When I connected my phone, I could see Windows7 immediately looked for the driver and installed it.
I thought the installer would warn me about v2 and aks me to uninstall it, but nop it just went ahead. Now whenever I boot up the v3 is loaded automatically.

I had V2 prior to installing V3. On one PC I ununstalled V2 before installing V3, and on the other I didn't - I just installed V3 without touching V2.
Unfortunately, on both PC's the phone screen says "connected" on the handset Sync menu, and the HTCSync3 UI also automatically pops on on the PC, but says "no device connected".
Thanks to everyone for suggestions. For now, I will just have to stick with my W7 XP Mode VM application install, which works fine.
so is this really a damn point that HTC has problems with it?
my system (win7 ultimate x64) cannot connect to the DHD with HTC Sync 3.0.5481 (wildfire edition).
i tried it so much times. again and again. deleted all drivers, installed it again. nothing.
if i press SYNC-mode when i connect my dhd to my pc, nothing happens.
wrong, there is something happen: there is an "android phone" in my hardware-folder...
but the drivers are WRONG! now, how can i get the REAL drivers, and HOW can i get this work.
the DHD is a very great phone, and i NEED to sync my outlook... this is necessairy!
thanks for tips and tricks.
cheers from switzerland!
Don't know about win7 64bit but I use Soocial to sync my contacts over various accounts and it will also sync to Outlook. No solution to calendar or other things tho so sorry
http://www.soocial.com/
Works fine for me on Win7 x64, I just downloaded the sync software from HTC, Installed, Plugged phone in and it worked.
Same here. Win 7 x64. Works fine.
I'm using it also on my x64 Win-7. I've downloaded the drivers from the HTC-site and it just works. I've tried it on my 'old' laptop, and last week at the new laptop I bought and on both it just works the first time.
Try to uninstall all the drivers, then download HTC Sync from the HTC-site and first install the software, then connect your phone. Hopefully that works!
From a fresh install on a machine that hasn't ever seen HTC Sync. Tried to install 3.0. Doesn't detect my HTC Desire. Tried rebooting, unistall/reinstall. I think the new version is bugged. Maybe if previous versions where installed it might work.
Not sure if it's relevant, but I had to disable my antivirus while installing HTC Sync on my Win7 x64 machine.
A lot of software says that, and I usually ignore it with no ill effects, but in this case it really did make a difference. The drivers didn't load correctly until I disabled the antivirus during installation.
So if you didn't disable your AV, it might be worth uninstalling HTC SYnc, disabling your AV, and reinstalling, to see if that makes a difference.
What version of MS Office are you using? I had kind of the same problem (win 7 x64), using office 2010 64 bit. I reinstalled office as 32 bit, and now it works fine..
I used the Sync that came on the SD card of DHD and it worked perfectly fine...i was able to Sync with Outlook etc., I also used to have a Previous version of Sync for Tattoo...that didn't have any impact...
In this case , i think the problem is because of the Wildfire Sync version. Try installing from the SD card, that works like a charm
cheers

works for me. using win 7 ultimate (64bit)
must full charged before connect to laptop!
problem with HTC Desire HD, if connect to laptop, it charge and perhaps use more than 500mA (charger is 1A!!) and laptop can't recognize DesireHD, just display unknow periph.
After full charged, and green led, disconnect and immedialtly connect, and HTC sync work.
Working fine here on Win 7 Ultimate 64Bit.
As another poster mentioned, you will not be able to sync with 64bit version of Outlook so please ensure you are using the 32Bit version.
PS I downloaded and installed the latest version of HTC Sync from HTC's website.
Hi There,
HTC ONE M8 Usb is not recognized under windows 7 64-bit enterprise.
tried drivers from HTC sync and tried stand alone drivers.
On a different pc 32bit running windows ultimate it works immidiatly as well as on a VMWARE machine.
any advice please?
Thank you!!!
anyone?!
The latest version of HTC sync drivers should work. However you will have problems with 3rd party drivers on 64bit systems as they are generally not signed and Windows 64 bit will not allow use of these drivers unless you disabled driver signing enforcement
http://sabrent.com/support/knowledgebase.php?article=14
unfortunatly that didnt do any change.
whatever i do windows does not except the driver. I plug in the phone and immidatly it shows with a exclamation mark in the device manager.
tried different ports and different cable, i uninstalled any previous smartphone drivers and software, although it works just fine with another computer running windows 7 (32bit).
any hint on how to troubleshoot?
thank you!!
Solved!
solved by using 3rd party software (wierrrd)
1. install moborobo http://www.moborobo.com/
2. plug the phone with "Usb debugging" ON
3. Accept the "not signed" driver warning
4. It will now automatically install the driver succesfully after which you can uninstall moborobo and the drivers will still work

Worked fine for me when I installed it on my work laptop running the same version of Win 7. I've got admin rights but explicitly ran the downloaded file as administrator and once I had connection confirmed, I deleted the synch manager portion of the installation (hey, great idea - let's make people download and install 130Meg of files just to get Windows device drivers... NOT)
i actually found another way to work with this...
search google for windows xp mode. it will take you to the microsoft website and it will download a pc virtualizer with xp built in. the software is windows xp 32 bit. i just unlocked my bootloader using this and it works great
