A few times I post in this forum for asking for help.
Everyones here seem busy to cook something that might never even been used till end of days!
So sorry if I have to use that title for getting attention from admin, advanced user and others masters.
I really need help.
All here I ask for is just "DRIVER FOR HP IPAQ 500 SERIES" when enter bootloader mode. I have Acivesync installed but cannot detect it. On my screen just popup a window ask for "USB DEVICE" driver....
A driver that I have search all over internet, but could not just find it.
Please I badly need your help sir.
Thanks for understanding my difficulty on searching.
BEST REGARDS,
HPDEBUG.
think it's a generic driver which one can get by putting in the windows install cd or let it use autoupdate
no NO.
It doesn't work.
I cannot find the driver in XP CD or any place else.
("I have Active sync installed")
Is there any special driver for this device when in bootloader mode?
Sorry I am new bie on this...
Plase help from any expert on this.
Best regards,
HPDebug
So I tried following one of the guides posted here at XDA to retrieve my MSL#.
** EDIT **
XDA FORUMS WILL NOT allow me to post links, because I have a new account, and it hasnt been approved. So I am just going to post the links to the screenshots without the "http" in front. I also had to remove the "." from the first part of the web address. So "google.com" would be "google com". You will have to manually copy and paste the URL, and add the periods to first part of the address.
IF A MOD IS READING THIS CAN YOU PRETTY PLEASE APPROVE MY ACCOUNT? Thanks!
I followed this guide:
forum xda-developers com/showthread.php?t=697487#
I downloaded the pre-requisites, and started to follow the steps.
I am on Windows 7 32bit, and these instructions are for Windows 7 64bit.
Once I cam to the section where I chose my drivers I chose the ones for x86 since I am running 32bit.
It installed the drivers fine. However, it installed the device under the "PORTS" section of the "Device Manager".
The screenshots for the instructions show the device being installed under the "MODEMS" section.
So I thought I did something wrong, and before doing any further research, I decided to delete the device that was installed under the "PORTS" section. I figured by doing this I could start from scratch, and correct whatever it was that I did wrong. Dumb move!!!
I removed the drivers from "C:\windows\system32\drivers" and also from "C:\windows\system32\driversstore\filerepository"
I unplugged my phone, rebooted my machine, dialed "##3424#" to enter diagnostic mode, connected my phone to the computer, and it DID NOT recoginze any new hardware.
I also tried removing any references from regedit for "htcdiag", which is the driver that was installed.
This produced the same result.
I have attached screenshots of the devices currently in my device manager.
Device Manager Screenshot #1:

Please help me get this working!
Thank you!

No, but at this point I am less worried about the MSL, and more worried about getting the android phone to show up properly under the device manager. When I rooted the phone I installed a modified HTC USB Driver, and then my phone showed up under device manager. As you can see from the screenshots my phone does not show up in device manager AT ALL anymore.
I know this was a rookie move, but someone must have done this before, or at the VERY least must have some suggestions on how to get the drivers reinstalled on my machine for my phone.
Anyone.... Bueller? Bueller?
** ONE MORE BUMP **
Perhaps all the useful contributors were on an extended Labor Day vacation.

Have you plugged the phone in and tried "scan for hardware changes"?
Still no luck.....The HTC website has a support section with drivers you can download.
OR-
Do you have the android sdk installed on your computer? There is a usb driver package you can use in the sdk.
If you still cannot get it to connect, then flash a rooted stock rom and see if your computer can connect then.
As far as your MSL, just call Sprint and ask them. The rep will ask why you need it. Just tell them your phone has been acting odd and that you are going to do a reset, which you have done before in the past ; ). They will then transfer you to a tech which will ask you again why you need it. Just respond the same about doing a reset, which you have done many times before.....you will then have your MSL - takes only a couple of minutes.
So I have gone as far as I can get myself installed ADB and eclipse, along with the hello world tutorial. My problem currently is which drivers do I use for the phone? It asks me if I want to install verizon drivers upon connecting phone, do I need these? I installed google drivers via ADB
Thanks for helping out a n00bie
Here is what my device manager screen looks like. I have F driver working, is this the correct driver I need? What about the mass storage controller warning? can I ignore this?
okay went to htc.com and downloaded drivers....phone is recognized now. I have adb all setup so hopefully I can get there now.
wow! I made it through the hello android tutorial so everything seems synched up as far as adb goes. Now Im not really sure how to prepare for the rest. Anybody that has completed this process that could help?
Whats the link for chat?
thunderbolt root
go here----> chat.andirc. net channel = root
you will thank me later lol
Hey guys
I specialy registered to this forum for my next question/problem.
First of all, I'm using Wildfire s, 2.3.7, CyanogenMod-7.2.0-RC1-marvel.KANG + i'm using Windows 8 Consumer Preview.
I was trying to install
"[Tool] Android Screencast 0.4 (open-source)"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=557717
But when i connect my htc to pc with usb debugging it fails to install the driver. I've downloaded many usb_drivers from all over internet and tried to install them manually using device manager but it doesn't seem to work.
Finly i found the "HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe and it worked on other computer (Win7). when i tried to install it in win 8 it gives an error telling that Driver installer in not supported for this OS. tried to run in capatibility mod but no luck.
Also tried to modify the usb_driver files "android_winusb" my adding lines in end etc.. still didn't work.
usually i don't ask help from any forum rather i google things and read other ppl posts. which worked.... until now So now i'm asking for help at this topic, i've been through almost every post in xda telling about Device not found, without any luck there eith.
If needed it's possible to remote controll my pc with teamviewer.
Help is really appreciated.
ps. device manager shows that yellow attention mark.
TEMP FILES / Extract .msi~
I got it work myself after all.
If you need help to install the device, mail me.
[email protected]
why not just post the answer?
had trouble getting drivers for windows 8 64 to work when trying to flash ruu update. could not find drivers online or a thread on xda, eventually downloaded the google drivers from sdk, and they worked perfectly after manually installing them for the android phone and then again for the android 1.0 device when it boots to hboot.
Tested on Windows 7:
- start installing HTC Sync, the software which comes with your phone (and can also be downloaded from HTC web site).
- it begins with telling you it needs to install Adobe AIR, something else, and the drivers... let it continue at that stage.
- once the previous step is done and installer asks if you want to start installation of HTC Sync software -- select [Cancel]
This way the drivers needed for adb and fastboot get installed while the rest of the (not so useful) HTC software is not installed at all.
You realize that everyone on this forum knows that, don't you?

1. There is a lot of info distributed among lots of guides, signatures, stickies, etc. Probably everything has been discussed and described somewhere some time ago. Maybe I'm slow, but it took me a while to find and figure out what is needed for what. I find short posts with quick and specific answers to specific problems/challenges quite useful.
2. Keep in mind that there are people using Google search who view xda forums in the middle of some long thread with lots of comments, trouble reports, etc. Not registered users. Maybe a short brief description will help someone?
3. I knew about stand-alone driver sets or "install/uninstall HTC Sync" way of installing the drivers, but someone may save some time knowing that it is enough just to cancel the installation after pre-requisites are installed.
Still if you think this thread is useless I will not cry and have no hard feelings if it is deleted.

For me both adb and fastboot work fine with the method described. There was nothing HTC-related installed earlier on the PC, it is a new laptop.
Edit: actually you are right and I am right (I guess): different drivers are needed and used for fastboot operation, but all of them are installed with the process described, no further action is needed when using fastboot later on. Windows just says "Installing drivers..." on the first use.
