First I have to state: I've already searched the web and xda-developers forums. Tried all solutions found, none work.
I don't connect my HTC Touch Pro 2 to my computer (Vista 32bit) often; other than the first few days, when I was downloading a lot of softwares to my device, I don't connect them at all. But the point is I was able to connect to WMDC.
Yesterday I wanted to try out Pocket Diablo, so I had to connect my device in order to install .NET CF 2.0. But I found I can no longer sync:
- Before I connect the device, I can see WMDC's green tray icon
- After I plug in the device (using the cable from HTC), WMDC's tray icon disappeared.
- I checked Device Manager, and found "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" cannot start, error code 10. There was no mobile device listed.
- I tried another USB port, same result. I tried uninstalling all USB hubs and root hubs, let them reinstall, reconnect device, same result.
- With device still plugged in, I uninstalled "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" and deleted the driver too. Then I unplugged device, uninstall WMDC driver update and WMDC itself, reboot PC, download WMDC6.1 from Microsoft again, reinstall WMDC, reboot, still no tray icon, and reconnect device with same result.
- I tried the above together with giving Users group full control on the registry key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Svchost\WindowsMobile", same result.
- If I uncheck "advanced connection" on my device, there is no "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" in device manager, but there is a generic mobile device listed. In WMDC it still thinks there is no device connected, and I cannot access the device in Windows Explorer.
- If I connect the device as a disk (under device's USB connection settings), I can access the device through Windows Explorer.
- I even hard-reset my device, still same result.
- I tested my old O2mini, same result.
- I don't recall any big changes on my system since my last successful connection.
- I tested my HTC Touch Pro 2 in my office (Vista 32bit), and it can be connected successfully.
So it seems the problem is in my home computer; the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter (version matches WMDC6.1's version) refuses to work in all cases.
Other than taking the sync cable in my office back home tomorrow, I'm all out of ideas of what to try next.
Can anyone give me a helping hand?
Bump. Please help, I really need to solve this.
- I'm taking the cable in office home, but I highly doubt that is the reason because with the cable at home I can connect as a disk and can charge.
- I notice in office (the successful case), the remote adapter is named "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #2". At home (the failure case) there is no #number, just "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter".
Tested and it is not the cable. Cable used to successfully sync in office has same effect at home - Windows Mobile Remote Adapter cannot start, code 10.
I tried enabling WMDC debug log, but there're none - looks like the process failed at the driver stage and WMDC is not even started.
Also, when I have the device connected with the non-functioning driver, it seems to wreck havoc on my real network driver. I often need to reconnect my network connection.
Can anyone help?
It's getting weirder and weirder...
- I reinstalled WMDC for the countless time, and suddenly I am able to connect to O2mini (which does not connect via a network adapter). O2mini shows up in WMDC (can setup a partnership) and explorer. But not HTC TP2.
- If I disable advanced connection on TP2, I can connect TP2 as a Mobile device, but there is no network adapter. WMDC detects no connection, and I cannot view TP2 in explorer.
- I tried connecting O2mini again after TP2's failure, and O2mini cannot connect too - device manager shows no problem, but in WMDC I get nothing but the red stop sign and a simple message: "Error". No entries in event viewer.
And is anyone even reading this thread?
I was having a similar deal. Sync works solid on XP at home, was working but then stopped on 2 laptops with Vista and giving me those error codes.
I did the same things as unistalling mobile center on vista to no avail.
What did work was going onto the device, Start/All Applications/ActiveSync. Then Menu/Options and delete on the laptop PC's.
Now when I sync my vista laptop to the device it shows up as an additional device. I can copy files to it, I'm not sure if it syncs any other info.
The active sync also has an option for connections where you can uncheck "same for all pc's". I didn't try that one, but it might do something.
Update the Driver?

You mean removing the partnerships? I already did that - I had hardreset my TP2 for nothing too.

I tried, but Vista said I already have the latest version (6.1.6965.0). I tried uninstalling (and fill the checkbox to remove the driver) and reinstalling, no difference.
It has to be something not right on my computer's drivers.
I'm going to compare the driver files of my home and office computers and see if there are any difference...
I copied all files related to the Windows Mobile Remote Adapter home, and compared them to mine. They are all identical.
I also tried forcing Device Manager to show non-present devices (by setting two environment variables), removed the related ones and tried again. Same result.
I'm all out of ideas now.
I'm even considering moving up to Windows 7 (Ultimate 64-bit), hoping that will solve my problems.
-- but what? They leave me with a nasty bug and I consider paying them even more? Whiskey, tango, foxtrot?
Awesome, finally i found someone that has (i think) 100% my problem.
Let me ask you this, what is your computer specs? Because this happened to me after i got a new computer >.< .
Mine is
Asus p7p55d LE motherboard
i5 50?
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600)
I also have a HTC Touch pro2 (verizon) but i have testing my computer with a Samsung Omnia (verizon) to confirm my problem.
Edit: BTW this is on a Windows 7, just throwing it out there so that people can be even more mind boggled
Asus P7P55D Deluxe
Intel i7-860
2 sticks of Kingston 2Gb
I got my TP2 from Fortress (Hong Kong), they added a bunch of goodies in the ROM, like the radio cab, 1% battery driver, a business card scanner, etc.
You have the same problem on Windows 7? I am going to buy W7 tomorrow, I'm going 64-bit...
If I get the same problem in W7, then well, damn... at least I can connect TP2 as a driver and write data to it. But if I need to install anything from the PC-side, I'll need to rip the cab out of the installer.
holy crap then i think i know why its not working. Maybe its because of the new chipset p55? Doesnt support the drivers? or something

Definitely not.
Plus I have sync'ed successfully before, and my TP2 plus cable can still sync in office, advanced connection on. It's a software problem.
I encountered the exact same error in Windows 7.
The Windows 7 is a fresh install, Windows updated, and installed 64-bit version of WMDC.
Darn.
First, sorry for my very bad english.
I had the same problem ( Error code 10 with Microsoft Mobile Remote Adapter) with p7p55d and Windows7.
It was a trouble with my asus p7p55d.
- I updated my bios to the 0711 version (this version does not appear on AsusUpdate, i found it on www.asus.com)
- I uninstall old Windows Mobile remote adapter
- I uninstall WMDC
- reboot
- simply plug my phone and let windows update do the job. This time it was good for me...
I have the same issue with ASUS P7P55D PRO and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit, even with BIOS 0711. I tried all the ideas, nothing helps.
The same problem for me.
Windows 7 64bit,
Gigabyte P55M-UD2 Mainboard
I report great success with this problem!
Like suggested from a previous poster, i did update my bios to 605 (this is for p7p55d LE). But i noticed one thing, the setting for Plug and Play was set to that the bios handled it. I changed to so the that OS (?) handled it instead and tried everything again.
Happy to say (after some extra problems that does not pertain to this error) i finally got it to work. Hope my experience help others.
Encountered a similar issue yesterday.
WMDC could not sync. Although when selected as a disk drive, it connects fine.
What fixed it for me was to disable this setting in the device: Settings/connections/usb to pc/enable faster data synchronization.
Exit out, no reset required.
Good luck.
I have the same problem since my new gigabyte p55-ud5
i have windows 7 Ultimate. my htc diamond work fine for one week, then it stoped sync.
i think its somthing with the memory....
i tried to change the speed on my corsair DHX 2GB from 1600Mhz to 1333 and it worked for couple of days.
then it stoped sync.
tried to add voltage in bios but no good.
updated the bios - then it only worked with memory speed 1333 or 1066.
i shutdown my computer only once in a week.
then it started again. now no matter what i do - no SYNC.
i searched for this error alot and the common hardware is:
P55 + vista/win7 + HTC.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Firm-up!
i have a good news!
Finally i got it after firm-up the bios.
Asus p7p55d turned out to got a problem installing 'Windows ... Adapter'

Hi
I have a big issue whereby when I connect my desire to my laptop as a disk drive I am unable to copy any files across.
My computer recognises the phone and opens up windows explorer (albeit very slowly) but when I try to navigate around the folders it just hangs until i get a notification telling me that windows explorer is not responding.
I have tried 3 different cards, all with the same results. In addition I have had my phone replaced and both the old phone and the replacement are the same. Have also tried 2 different cables.
Cards have no problem connecting in a card reader.
I am using windows 7 64 bit. I am also unable to connect to HTC sync.
I am convinced that this is a windows 7 issue. I am aware that others on the same OS have no issues but I can't see what else the problem could be.
Anyone else had this issue and found a fix?
This is now driving me insane so any help would be most appreciated.

have you checked you have the latest drivers installed on your computer for your phone?
also make sure your usb cable is connected to the main usb ports on your computer not any hubs or anything
First of all you have to install the "windows mobile device center"
When you connect the HTC to your computer, there pops a window up, where you can choose, between sync and fast data travel. have you tried this out?
if the window is not there go to settings-->connections-->USB to Pc and change it there. (not in the touch flo settings. there you have to go to MORE and there are this settings)
maybe this helps
Cheers, stephan1
sorry cgrec92 ... I was writing this while you posted your answer
Thanks for the response guys.
Have tried connecting via all 4 of the usb ports so this doesn't seem to be the issue. Have also uninstalled the drivers and then plugged the device back in to reinstall drivers but with no luck. Have also downloaded the adb driver from the net but with no joy.
Is mobile device centre not exclusively for windows phones?!
Keep the ideas coming!

Erhhh.... are you aware that this is the Desire forum, which is an Android device and not Windows Mobile?
To the OP: seems to me that you've tried everything connected to the phone/cables, but haven't tried connecting to a different PC. I've no problems with Windows 7 x64, but I would suggest that you plugging your device into a different PC.

I've got exactly the same problem, it's rather annoying now.
It used to work fine up until now
I really dont know why for the last two years Microsoft hasn't done anything for this very known issue. It seems they want all of us to use Microsoft My Phone service and put all out private data online.
The problem I am having is the following:
I am plugging my phone to the usb port using the original cable and if it detects the phone it will start syncing ...but this syncing will not actually start. The progress bar does not move.
Initially and for a couple of times after it synced fine. But then I got into this situation.
Of course like most of you know if I delete the partnership and make a new one it will work. But then what is the meaning of collecting data on TP2 when they will be deleted after making a new partnership....so there is no purpose of trying to sync if I have to make new partnerships once a while.
I have been trying aaaaalllllll the solutions mentioned in dozens of forums
ie:
unchecked faster data synchronization
checked if the right services are running
followed this procedure also [TUT] Dummies guide: updating HTC USB Sync Drivers
Checked my firewall settings, also disabled the firewall during sync.
disable third party firewalls and anti viruses
I have windows 7 ultimate 32bit, WMDC latest, and WM 6.5
I wish I could be proven wrong but I am sure that there is no solution to this problem. A 400euro operating system and a 500euro phone can not exchange information.
I have exactly the same problem (TP2 but running x64 windows 7). Did you manage to find any solution? Anybody?

Uncheck "Enable faster data synchronization."
It works just fine for me on W7 Pro x64.
If that still isn't working, consider switching to a different sync option, like BirdieSync and Thunderbird. That's what I use normally. The only caveat is that you need to set up a new partnership each time you flash, which is the same on WMDC anyway, so not really a big deal.

Sorry, I don't have a solution. I'm writing to say that I sync mine all the time with Win7 Pro x64, no problems at all.
I had a problem one time, and deleting the partnerships on the phone fixed it. Note that I do not sync emails or files; I don't use outlook for emails, only contacts and scheduling.
Have you tried doing a hard reset and then syncing the phone before you install anything else on the device?
I switched to 32 bit windows 7 and everything is ok now.
the only sync I can not do is through bluetooth.
the phone is freezing

Perhaps the device itself is failing, then. If you are only able to sync with bluetooth, then it would seem likely that you would have a faulty USB port on the phone. Have you tried doing this with the stock ROM?
Win 7 64 bit
HTC TP2
Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC)
I was just about to ask a question about the same problem, but I see a thread is started already.
I just built a new machine, and when I first plugged the phone in, everything worked great. WMDC recognized the phone, loaded the drivers, and it sync'ed with Outlook 10. Everyone was happy.
The next day when I plugged my phone in, Windows Mobile Device Center does not even recognize that the phone is plugged in. WMDC shows not connected, I don't get the little "ding" when it connects/disconnects, and it doesn't show up as anything under "computer" when I click on the libraries folder.
The ONLY solution I have found is doing a soft reset on my phone. When I do that, it sync's. But as soon as I disconnect it and reconnect it, I get the problem as described above.
I haven't done ANYTHING to try to troubleshoot this problem other than uncheck that box on the phone that allows the phone to fast sync. Any advice appreciated.

Yes I have tried that Im using Vista. Thing is the HTC do come up with progress bar on the phone. Way to weird and frustrating.
Now everthing is connected and its only when the tri colors on phone comes everthing disconnects then the HTC emblem is there showing progress as zero.
When I'm in the WMDC and setting up a partnership should I check any of the options.

Like many others I have not been able to sync my HTC TP2 with my new Windows 7 64 bit computer.
I found a fix that worked for me. After many attempts to sync my phone and WMDC showing me it is connected, but at the same time show an error icon with no explanation, I thought I would do a manual Windows update to ensure I had all the drivers needed. After going to START> CONTROL PANEL> REVIEW YOUR COMPUTERS STATUS....I noticed I had an message that said there was an update for my Pocket PC. I downloaded it and it was an file called "drvupdate-amd64.exe".
I connected my phone by a usb cable to my laptop and selected RUN on the above file after downloading it to my desktop. It showed a status that was updating a generic driver and one other drive.......then WAMO, WMDC opened and my HTC TP2 showed it was connected and started to Sync. YEHAW!
Has anyone been able to connect to the Kin using the Windows Mobile Device Center? (most likely not--I haven't seen anyone posting about it...)
I came across a website with a bunch of tools that look pretty useful for WinCE devices:
http://itsme.home.xs4all.nl/projects/xda/tools.html
It seems that these tools will only work though if the phone can be seen by the windows mobile device center (with its associated rapi.dll driver).
If there is a way to make the windows mobile device center "see" the kin, then maybe we give some of these tools a test drive.... I'm guessing it's a matter of having the correct driver (which seems to be somewhat of a problem )
I've thought about trying it, however my Win 7 x64 computer seems unable to install or uninstall the Windows Mobile Device center. Once I figure it out, or get a computer that can run it, I'll test it. And Activesync (for the older OSs)
On my laptop (have Zune installed on here) I have Win XP, so had to install ActiveSync 4.5. Unfortunately, after plugging in the phone, ActiveSync could not detect my phone. Not sure if having Zune on my laptop makes any difference or not.
Will install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 on my Win 7 desktop (no Zune) sometime tonight and see if the phone is detected there.
This is my first post, but I have been reading every single post since I got the phone around three months ago. I didn't feel the need to post because you all know way more than I do, but I think I may have made a discovery that might help your WMDC idea. If you are to turn on both the PPRO and usb_pass thru modes at the same time on the Kin device it creates an entirely new usb mode labeled "usbfn composite driver." which from my quick research I just did is the mode needed for the WMDC. I'll let you pros test it some more, but I'll keep messing around and see if I can get something. Hope it helps in anyway. If not sorry for wasting everyone's time.

At least you've been reading. We're aware of the mode, and my limited trials do not let my computer recognise it, but I'm interesting in your research as to which mode is needed by WMDC. Where did you find that out?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405945 here says that usbfn is for wmdc
also micrsoft talks about this mode here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg159468.aspx
finally do a google search it seems that we have to make a driver to make it work, but there are a lot of templates out there.
Like i said maybe it will help and maybe not. Sorry.
I tested it.
Created a custom made driver in XP ("Kin Lame driver" from "LameCorp by Kussack")for device:
VID 0x045e, PID 0x643, MI_00
Activesync doesnt trigger on the phone in composite mode
Usb sniff shows that when the program talks to the phone, the phone doesnt answer (even not an error code or something).
Dunno about WMDC and/or the "other", the MI_01 device.

How did you create the custom driver? Was it completely built from scratch, or an existing MS driver?
I spent a couple hours last night trying to fake a WMDC driver into driving my Kin, but was unable to. The closest I got was in using the "Pink" driver found in another thread here, but I couldn't do anything with it.
I still want to try getting a different driver to work (I have a Palm Treo Pro/WM 6.1 phone that I want to test, to see what driver it uses and how it works on the computer). If you've already done similar work, it might not be worth my duplicating your efforts, but if I can go about it differently, I'm still going to try.
you just need to add a pattern in wceusbsh.inf, following the existing ones.
It's like not exactly, putting it from memory:
%\USB&VID=0x045E&PID=0x643&MI_00%.DeviceDesc = \USB&VID=0x045E&PID=0x643&MI_00
And later in the file:
\USB&VID=0x045E&PID=0x643&MI_00.DeviceDesc = "Lame kin driver mfker!"
It's just pasting and customizing two lines (like i posted) and it will be labeled as "Windows CE devices" (even not working or being hacked in a wrong file).
I did this with all driver modes, just for fun. Nothing worked, but may worth a try with newer drivers or OS or pc's.
Hi guys,
I wonder if anyone can help with this problem?
,
I'm having trouble hooking it up to my PC which is running XP.
When I chose to connect as either "Media Device MTP" or "Camera PTP" I get an error message on the taskbar of my PC:
"USB device Not Recognised. One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned , and Windos does not recognise it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message."
I click the message and get taken to the list of USB devices with one in bold stating "Unknown device", I click on it and try to update the drivers etc but PC is unable to instal newer drivers.
I think I've narrowed this down to an MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) driver not being installed on the PC, so have installed Windows media player 11, Kies, Samsung PC Studio 7, tried searching the net for drivers, even tried installing Galaxy S2 drivers and none of them work.
Does anyone know what else I may be able to try, or can someone tell me where I could get the correct driver as this is starting to drive me nuts...
PS. I have hooked up the Nexus to my work PC (running Vista) and was recognised withing seconds, so is not a faulty phone
Thanks in advaance for you help!!

Hah, you posted what I managed to resist writing. I thought to myself 'someone's bound to bring that up'... Right on time!
Just get WiFi file explorer PRO and sync through wifi...but I'm quite sure that you can get MTP to work on winXP.
Can't really help you with the Galaxy Nexus since mine hasn't arrived yet but for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 I didn't install any driver (honeycomb also only understands MTP). I let windows install all the drives automatically, had to restart a couple of times but in the end I had a working connection with no Samsung crap like Kies installed.

I've got this as the work around at the moment, but finding it a bit laborious having to transfer one file at a time.
Finding that Samsung website is quite useless - only has the User guide as downloadable PDF.
Microsoft website is even less helpful...!

You can transfer as many files as you like....up.
And to be honest you can also try using an FTP server, it works very well and then you can browse your phone easily.

I thought I was getting there after installing WMP 11 as I got a message stating "Galaxy" when I connected the USB cable, but it still didn't work fully.
A couple of re-boots later it resorted back to "USB Device not Recognised"
Hope the Nexus conmects for you when it arrives

You can transfer as many files as you like....up.
And to be honest you can also try using an FTP server, it works very well and then you can browse your phone easily.

Do you mean that you can upload multiple files in one go with Wireless file transfer Pro?
with music for eg. I'm having to do one track at a time?
Will look at the FTP servers now, any recommendations?

Sorry no, it was something worse, Vista.
If you got xp to recognize it as "Galaxy" you should be on the right track. I remember that being the first device in Vista too. The auto update feature installed various Samsung updates, always after the device couldn't be started and almost all of them required a restart. But about five of these updates (and restarts...) later it connected correctly. No Samsung software necessary.
Don't know if that was dumb luck but I'm not complaining.
I have missing MTP driver on my WIndows XP laptop for work (I use Win 7 at home) is there any solution to this yet?
Try this.
It will install the Media Transfer Protocol Porting Kit (MTP drivers) on Windows xp and should allow the device to be recognised.
I uploaded the file (which I downloaded directly from Microsoft) so you dont have to validate first. Download it *HERE* and install.
Let me know if it works for Windows xp and I will add it to my fixes section im writing.
Mark.
Thanks, Mark,
I did find and download that file earlier but it didnt work. However, as my work laptop is subject to Group Policy, it may still work for others. I do have local admin rights on my machine so I wouldnt have thought it would be a problem but we always get quirks with our corporate builds.
I have found other references on the net to a file from Creative called "fixup.zip" which apparently includes the MTP drivers (tweaked to also allow recognition of creative devices) but I cant find anywhere to download it from.
after a little searching with Google i found the answer
so my laptop runs XP (because i shoot tethered to my Canon Camera and i know it works) and i use the laptop to sync my phones (also collects my e-mail etc) and i stumbled on this thread when i was searching for a solution as to why MTP failed to install with my new Nexus..
the solution is
to install Windows Media Player 10! once i did that, BAM! i can see my Nexus in the explorer window with the rest of my drives

New "known issue" - samsung!
I had issues trying to get the device working on 3 computers yesterday (Win 7, Vista, XP) , with only interment luck.
I got to Samsung Level 2 support, at 2pm EST, I was his first G-Nex call. We tried the Samsung driver, updating WMP to v11 on XP. Best I got was it to open sometimes (best after a GNex Reboot or after almost shutting it down: ie. holding power button in ant hitting back arrow). It opens best on my Vista PC (one I hardly use...); Sometimes I open it and get no further than the device level (GALAXY NEXUS); if Internal Storage eventually shows up, you may be able to get in; then you MAY be able to transfer files to the folders.
I got a call back from SAMSUNG Level 2 today: "THERE IS A KNOW ISSUE IN THE MTP LAYER OF THE PHONE; THERE ARE ISOLATED CASES OF PROBLEMS LIKE YOURS; SAMSUNG & GOOGLE ARE WORKING TO RESOLVE AND ISSUE A MAINTENANCE RELEASE". (As close as I can quote this.) No, there was no estimate of WHEN this would be released, but I'm hoping soon, as it is a pain and major issue for us "isolated" cases - why me?
I found that MTP does not work correctly on winxp without Windows Media Player 11. It appears to work kinda with WMP10, but not the way you would expect.
Fix
I was pulling my hair out trying to get my new verizon galaxy nexus connected to my pc running windows xp to transfer files. Finally I figured out what the problem was for me.
MTP is tied to windows media player somehow and you need to have the new version of windows media player installed for it to work. Until I did this I was getting an error when a plugged in my phone about the required files not found in the INF file or something.
1. download new version of windows media player.
2. You need to download the samsung USB drivers from samsungs website...I would post the link but I am not allowed.
make sure you click the tab for software...it defaults to manuals and doesn;t look much like a tab at all. After that mine worked beautifully although the MTP transfers seem extremely slow compared to the USB mass storage connection my droid 2 had.
Hope this helps someone else out there!
