Just look at the specifications on the htc website.... there you'll find the answer.
Honestly with a bit of search you could have answered this yourself but since I'm not the worst person here I'm gonna explain...
The desire has out of the box tethering, you simply plug the charger/usb cable to the desire and put the other end in the laptop.
By doing that an option screen appears as you pull down the notification bar.
With the following options:
1. Charge only
2. Htc Sync
3. Diskdrive
4. Share your mobile connection (could be named different. I'm dutch so my desires settings are dutch.)
Selecting number 4 will install a modem on your pc and then your able to internet through your desire.

Thanks
sorry for being so irritatingly lazy ....
I will do better the next time
Promise i will
....
If you install PDANet, you can tether via Bluetooth. It appears to be dial up networking (which it isn't in reality) rather than a PAN, but it does work ok.

Dave

When i try to do this it tries to load the drivers which it cant find and so no connection for me.
i'm on xp
You need to install HTC Sync, which should have come on the SD card supplied with your phone.
You can also download the latest version from HTC.com

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!
hey there,
i was searching the web and the forum though couldnt find any issues for connecting the desire z via usb to ubuntu (10.04 for me). however, it doesnt work with my DZ. i bought an addition micro-usb-connector (htc) and the phone does only charge and not ask, what kind of connection i want.
once, i read (and experienced) that you have to connect the usb to the back usb-ports (not the front ones) to get it working - that was with my desktop pc. now, using my laptop, the connection (mounting the sd, tethering or whatever) wont work on neither of the laptop's usb-ports...
so maybe there are two questions/issues:
does anyone have similar issues or maybe no problem with connecting the phone to
1) a laptop?
2) ubuntu 10.04?
thanks for your anwsers!
This might be nothing to do with it, but I found that I couldn't use adb with my phone when I was using a third-party USB cable, even though it sync'd (HTC Sync) fine. This was using XP. When I went back to the original HTC cable, adb worked fine.
Hi there,
I have a laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) and everything works fine here. If i connect my DZ with my laptop a menu appears on the DZ asking if i want to charge only, use as disk drive, HTC sync, USB tethering and internet passthrough. I havent tried HTC sync but the rest works fine. I can even synchronize my music with Rythmbox or Banshee. So what i'm saying is that it should work out of the box.
My DZ is stock European edition, no root or s-off yet.
I suggest you first look in the settings of your DZ and look for "Connect to PC". There you should see the settings for the default connection and a "ask me" option. (My default is charge only and "ask me" is turned on). If this doesn't work maybe you can test your device on another computer to see if the menu does appear when you connect your phone.
Thanks for your replies.

I was trying to get adb working but ended up in getting an no-permission-error. Couldn't figure out the problem...

My DZ is also European,standard stock Rom,nothing done (yet). I checked the settings you mentioned and it says "ask me".
Next thing that is really weird: I can enable the tethering option (but cannot use it), yet the connection bypass (or what it is called in English) is greyed out. Tomorrow, I'm going to try the usb cable from the box...
ok, i checked with the original usb cable, still i wont get a connection. as my laptop sits on a docking station, i also tried the back-ports (at the docking station) and un-docked it - no success. none of the three ports will grant me access to the phone.
furthermore, i booted into windows xp and it will show a removable device, but i cannot access it (says something like "enter a device").
it seems to me, that it has something to do with my laptop (lenovo t61) and its usb ports... i have no idea, what to do, so i'm happy about any advice or experience...
Try the guide on adb at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865685 , it tells you where to get the Windows drivers.
thanks for the hint, i tried to adb on linux (without success), but going for the windows try...
i'm wondering about, why the phone does not simply give access to the sd-card, like any other removable device. why do i need to install htc sync (including the drivers)? when plugging any removable dev for the first time, it normally just installs the drivers and you'll get access... where is the problem here?

I know what you mean, I would have thought it would "just work" if you connect the phone in "Disk Drive" mode, where the SD card is mounted on the PC.
You're not using a USB hub, right, you've tried connecting straight to your PC's USB ports ?
no, there is no usb-hub used. the connections i tried were always direct ones.
The next thing to do would be to try to connect your phone to another computer. Because it could also be a problem with your phone rather than your usb ports.

well, the phone connects perfectly to my desktop-pc...
It's a long shot, but I did some Googling on "Lenovo T61 usb problem" and saw one report from a guy whose USB didn't work on his T61 with Ubuntu until he upgraded the BIOS
Steviewevie,you are doing my work,you know
Well thanks for the info,do you happen to have a link?
Edit:thinking about that... updating the BIOS??

I only had a quick look, so a more extensive look may well turn up some useful info. The thread I stumbled across was at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=673501
Ok,i took a look at the link (thanks!), but that deals with ubuntu 7.04. To me, it doesn't seem to be the issue that usb ports are not working, as other usb sticks and my touch pro 2 were recognized without any problems.
Imho,it is like when I connect to the front ports of my desktop, when the connection doesn't work either, so I'll have to live with it. Thanks for your support anyway (I'm still open for new approaches)
BTW: it really bugs me that I can't just plug that device and use it as a mass storage like any other...
i have absolutely no idea why, but now it works... today, when i was charging the phone via usb (the thing, that was working from the beginning), my DZ rebooted spontaneously and afterwards it just showed the missed connection options...
no i just need to figure out how to use the internet-forwarding (dont know the correct translation - what i want is to use the internet from my pc on the phone) ... any clues?
Hi Guys,
I have a huge problem with my HTC Touch Pro 2, the display is broken but still working partly. But I can´t activate the Active Sync mode while connecting by USB cable.
So the problem is that i need the contacts, sms and calling history.
The only thing I can connect to, is the device as a hard disk so i have access to the SD card.
Is it some how possible to activate Active Sync without activiation through the display?
May be it could boot together with the device or something like that.
Actually I need the active sync connection for using the Mymobiler Software so that i could run PIMBackup and backup everything.
Or is it somehow possible to backup those things without using active sync.
Please help I really don´t know how to deal with this pitty situation...
tuch screen still works?
Before you broke display when you connect usb on display show popup with device connection options? May be better buy new display. I buy new display and tuch screen and pay for repair totall less than 50 usd.Display, touch screen.
The Touchscreen works only partly, well when i try to connect the device with USB, I see the screen where i can decide which type of connection I´d like to choose but its only partly and the part which is needed for connecting the phone by active sync is still in the part which is broken.
You don't need your screen for setting up a connection do you?
Are you really using active sync of windows mobile centrum. You could try that, it is available on windows vista / 7 if you connect your phone, and then search for an windows update, it should show windows mobile...
Can you get into the start menu, into settings and change the USB connection type to always default to ActiveSync?

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 (US Cellular) and trying to connect via USB to Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OS. I have several times to install, uninstall, re-install and still no go. I found a few posting searching Google and nothing specific has help.
When plugging in cable, the phone is recharging. Unable to recognize or show up in Device Manager. I have successfully connect phone to PC by using Bluetooth but not able too at all with the USB cable. Tried several other cables and still same issues of not connecting.
I am sure it has something to do with drivers. however can't find any specific driver for the OS and Phone.
I have tried other combinations such as other USB ports, unchecking the box "Enable faster data synchronization" Reinstalling WMDC 6.1, uninstalling, rebooting, hard-reset, soft reset, etc.
So I am at the point of just throwing the phone across the room. I seem to recall about having problem another time and same issues, but was able to find solution. Unfortunately, not able to now. Please HELP!!

First, I edited your email out. That will surely get picked up by spambots, and you'll have a LOT of spam in your inbox.
Second, when you plug it in, you should see a popup on the phone in WinMo. Should give you a few choices, depending on ROM - choose "ActiveSync". If you don't get these choices, simply unplug-replug.
If you set it to "always" do something - like USB mass storage mode or something, you might have to modify the registry. I haven't used WinMo in so long, I don't even remember how to get it back to that menu which gives you the choices... I never check that box anyways, I always want to choose.
Thanks

It's on the phone.
Did you unplug/replug? If it doesn't pop up for me at first, I do this and it ALWAYS pops up...
UNLESS of course you've told it to "always" do something like USB mass storage - this is the piece I cannot remember how to setup...
What ROM are you on?

Go to the Settings Tab in HTC Sense and click on the right softkey and select All Settings. Then select Communications and select USB to PC and check the box that says ask me what I want to do when I connect.
