[Q] USB tethering and win7 pro - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using windows 7 pro x64 and my computer cannot install the driver when I check USB tethering on the OTA.
I know it is not my phone since my linux machine works fine with usb tethering.
However on my windows machine, it fails to install right away and my device manager has a "Android phone" that is not installed.
Is there something I am missing on my windows machine to not let it finish installing? If I remember correctly on my old setup it would install the NDIS remote driver, but that doesn't happen for me.
Any suggestions?
EDIT : Just tried roommate's computer which is also win7 pro x64 and it failed as well. Is windows 7 pro missing this NDIS driver? If so does anyone know a solution?

The link below is to PDAnet's download page. Just pick the one for you and it'll install the drivers.
If you don't know the bit size to your computer click start, right click my computer, properties, and it should say there.

The problem isnt PDAnet, I prefer not to use a 3rd party software when I can use the native 2.2 usb tethering. The problem is windows 7 pro not detecting the NDIS server driver. I confirmed it working for linux but I do not have a computer around me that uses other versions of Windows 7 besides pro
EDIT: Just tried my G1 on cm 6.1 and it found the NDIS driver for the G1.
Hmmm I'm running out of ideas, Ill try and find someone with windows 7 home or ultimate

You don't have to use pda net, it just has the drivers you need in the software. Once you install pdanet, the drivers will allow win7 to recognize your phone. then you can uninstall pdanet. I had to do the same thing.

Thanks. I've been trying to tell people this over and over. No one listens.

Installed pdanet on my computer, which it also installed onto my phone but no luck. It still fails the driver install when i check usb tethering.
It did however install PDAnet's own "network driver", but device manager still sees "Android phone" as an unknown device when i check usb tethering. Not to be confused with the adb driver which I have already have up and running
I still have not had a chance to try another operating system besides linux :/

WMDC on Windows 7 RC1

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.

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?

[Q] ADB with Windows XP 64 Bit

I have been searching for several hours, and I am absolutely unable to get ADB to recognize my phone using Windows XP 64 bit. I have uninstalled and re-installed the Unrevoked modified drivers several times to no avail. All I get is "Error: Device Not Found". Does anyone know a trick to getting ADB working on XP 64? I appreciate any and all help.
Thanks!
EVO HW 0003
HBOOT 2.10

Make sure the rom your using has adb functionality included/enabled in the rom.
And make sure usb debugging is enabled under settings/applications
Swyped from a galaxy far far away......
I have connected to the same phone with another computer. All settings are confirmed correct on the phone itself.
I know a trick, but I haven't tried it with the Evo or XP! I bet it works though. I used it to get my hero working with win7 last march, and it worked great.
install PDAnet.
It is a tethering program and has the ADB drivers, should set them up for you.
Also installing HTC sync is supposed to get the drivers working.
Thanks I will give that a shot and report back.
PDANet didn't work but I found an HTC driver for 64 bit windows 7 that did the trick.
Thanks for your help.
Windows sucks and 64 bit XP is a pain in the ass. You need a usb driver or linux.

can u post the driver.?
Here it is. Be sure to uninstall any other drivers. I used USBDeview to uninstall the old drivers. Extract this zip and use the driver inside for Android 1.0 when prompted. It will not show up as Android ADB in Device Manager (showed up as My HTC Phone or something on mine) but ADB connected immediately once I installed this driver.
I doubt that it will work
Works for me!
Been looking at this for two hours now...
Running 64-bit XP - Installed the drivers manually by connecting the device, then selecting not now.... navigated to the drivers, installed BOTH .ini files - not sure if was really two different drivers or not - restarted, reconnected and device showed up.
The name my device function says "Desire" but it seems to work so far (only one sync)

CM7 RC1 USB Tether Driver

I'm having problems with USB tether. I've kept up with the CM7 nightly's and so far none work with me when it comes down to USB tether.
I think I'm missing the drivers on my computer.
I'm running windows 7, from what I've researched, windows 7 should install the drivers automatically. When USB tether is activated on my inc, my device manager shows the driver as RNDIS. I've tried downloading countless driver updates but to no success.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the drivers needed for USB tether are different from the regular USB drivers needed to use your phone as a drive on your computer right?
Some people have had the same problem but no solution has worked for me.
HELP PLEASE!!

+1 I have the same issues with USB Tether in CM7 Nightlies. Im thinking its the new kernel?? But it will NOT recognize any driver that b4 worked for the RNIS Adapter it finds to connect. It fails to install and stays with a yellow error logo Im using PdaNet and/or easytether in the meantime.

Yeah PDANet works fine. I think it may have something to do with the kernel. Hopefully they get a fix for this.
Na its something with windows 7 XP installs the drivers just fine. Pdanet always cuts out for me after awhile.

PDAnet is rock solid for me. CM7 RC1 on DINC. Windows 7 x64 on my PC. I use PDA net for hours at a time with no problems. 14gig data last month on Verizon.
Must be something on your phone or PC if you are having problems with PDAnet.
Hi,
you just need to download Active Sync (by me it was ActiveSync 4.5) and this will automaticly install the generic rndis driver. After installing just connect your phone via USB and activate USB - tethering. (- for XP - Win7 install the driver automaticly)
Ibwished activesync worked for windows 7

No thast not necessary. How are you installing the usb driver? If you look at thread below and go to step 1. There's a link in there for the usb driver. Its for Sprint and Tmo S3. Just run it and it should install automatically without needing any other software installed. I've done this with windows XP at work and my windows 7 at home.

ues i did install it. but then i get an error on the PC saying: "there was a problem installing this hardware.. MTP. An error occurred during installation of the device. A service installation section in this INF is invalid."
Is it really such a big deal to install it anyway and test if you can install your SGS3 drivers? You could always uninstall once you get the drivers working. Besides, it's only WMP10. Not like it's iTunes or Quicktime.
You need to have windows media player 11 or higher in order for your computer to recognize your phone. That's what worked for me.

[Q] HTC ONE M8 + Windows 7 64bit Enterprise usb drivers

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
