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.

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.

I have installed WM 5 on my XDA IIs about three hours back and since then trying very hard to make Activesync recognize my device. But alas!!! no luck...
When I put the device in the cradle, the Windows XP on my laptop detects a new device "Windows Mobile-Based Device" and asks me to install a driver. Ashtonishingly, the driver is not found automatically. So I tried for some time and found that it is looking for a file - rndismpx.sys. I searched my laptop for this file and found the file to be in \Windows\system32\drivers directory. I gave the path in the installation, but the installation aborts saying that the file is not found...
I have done the settings that the Wiki site said. But even after that my device is not being recognized by my laptop.
Any insights as to why is this happening... I did try and search the forum, but could not find anything specific.
Thanks,
Siddharth
Are you sure you're running Activesync 4.1 instead of 3.8?
I had the same problem too. But I didn t found a solution. Please help me too.
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.

Please help me get this working!
Thank you!
Have you tried msl reader from the market ?

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
Hi, here is an easy way to only install the drivers from the HTCSync package.
Double clic on setup_3.0.5579.exe (dwnld from HTC support site)
Choose the language and clic next (stop when it list the things to install: air,...)
Go to c:/user/yourname/AppData/Local/Temp
Order the files by date and choose the last folder created (so the temp folder were the files were extracted for the full package install)
Delete all *.prq except the ones for the drivers (3 files, 2 if you choose between x86 and x64)
Clic next in the HTCSync install box.
All deleted prq will be 'installed' but in fact no
Check... only drivers are installed
nb: do this if you don't have a sense ROM and don't need HTCSync of course.
Hope this will help
Just install the whole thing, then uninstall only htc sync (not drivers) from control panel. Dead easy.
Why do it simply, when you can do it complicated, huh? Sheesh...
After drivers installation, cancel instalation of Sync. Done.
Why this 'complicate' way? Because I only know 2 way to install the driver: via HTCSync install or via the Android SDK + Android driver install.
I only have a small SSD, so I want to avoid as much as possible to write files I don't want on the drive.
1 - Any install + uninstall process leaves 'unneeded' files, so I want to avoid it.
2 - HTCSync installs few things before the drivers and HTCSync (C++, Adobe AIR, don't remember exactly...),
3 - I don't need the full Android SDK install, and this is needed to download and install the google driver.
These were my main reasons.
I found questions of people who tryed to install only the ADB driver, so I thought this easy (for me) way could be helpfull for someone... sorry if I was wrong
And best of all I posted in the wrong thread
(I don't have a Desire...)
What are you talking about?
I just try to explain why I wanted to install ONLY the driver for my DHD.
I answer the questions.
That's cool, but you are still doing it the complicated way.
Yep... My initial idea was to extract the driver from the HTC package but I didn't know how to get it.
I tryed to open the exe to get the driver (with 7zip) but It fails.
Then I tryed to open the prq I had when launching the exe but before any file install... It fails again.
If you know how to extract just the drivers files from the HTC exe package I'm interested. But I don't want the install/uninstall process for the reasons I gave previously.
It could look complicate but this was the only way I found to install ONLY the drivers without anything else. Please share a better solution if you have it (and I'm quite sure there is one).
Thx! It was really helpful!
Works a treat on the latest HTC Sync v3

hi i need htc desire c drivers my cell phone is dead but attached no pic drivers on win 7 pleez help me how can isolve my problem pleas give me any solution thanx in advance
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.
