Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but how can you check on the HD2 if there are any windows updates available?
About 10 minutes ago I got an allert tone on the phone, checked it and it said do I wamt to take part in the customer feedback program, I clicked on "dont send feedback" then another screen came up saying there might be a windows update for the phone.
It said connect over wifi or via active sync and it would check, I plugged it into the pc and then the phone froze (it does this on and off with active sync)
Anyway, I cant seem to find anywhere in any menu on the phone to click on "check for windows update"
Does anyone know where I can find this setting please?
hmm i would like to know this also...
dont think there is an option
\windows\autoupdate.exe
has anyone actually had this work?

It says you need to have a developer unlocked phone and also have chevron.
Either a developer account, OR Chevron. Chevron only works on the older OS, and not the newer.
A $99 investment for a developer account is a small price to pay to load any application you want onto the phone (including c++ code to get to that Bluetooth radio!). You even get a nice little XAP deployment tool.

well you try it? and how is it working?
Has anyone got this to work? My Arrive is developer unlocked but I can't get the driver to show up in Device Manager on Windows 7 64bit. It seems to connect to my laptop but then no internet connection on the laptop from my arrive.
Thanks for any help,

Same here. has anyone got this to work?
I can't make it work.
Anyone have any new info on tethering the Sprint HTC Arrive?
I spent about 3 hrs on this today. Sprint arrive developer unlocked tried on my windows xp 32bit. It appears the drivers dont want to take. It says not recognized or something along those lines. Its a fairly common problem on the other thread but i have some ideas hopefully ill get to try in the upcoming days.
I have had some success. If you read the dfrouter thread than you are familiar with the process. 2 drivers must be installed on the pc first for it to work. I have the usb modem driver installed after messing around with the file. If i can get the other driver to go i believe ill be able to tether.
This modified driver is running on windows xp and appears to be ready. If anyone has a xp 32bit pc and please pm and we'll see if the driver works for you as well.
If I get the other driver to go ill tether and upload everything.
progress
I spent a few hours on trying to get the vcom driver working last night to no avail.
-on my first attempt i was able to get the driver to be recognized by the pc as the htc diagnostic tool but at the last screen it always said failed.
-on my second attempt i was able to get the driver installed but i dont think it was done properly because it was not recognized as the htc diagnostic tool.
I pm'd a few members on here so we'll see if one of them comes to the rescue, otherwise i'll try again this weekend.
after i get the xp drivers working i believe the windows 7 drivers will be easier.
To get the usbmodem driver to work i only had to change the device id to match the arrive's. the vcom doesnt appear to be that easy, df wrote that it has to be installed as its some kind of qualcom security check.
The weird thing was that i got the 6xx error that others reported when dialing out but it would only dial out in "zune mode" and not "router mode". I dont know if that is because of the vcom driver or not but that behavior was not mentioned at all in the other thread.
Driver?
I posted this in the "Update" thread, too....but figured it was relevant to this discussion....
So, I got the update a couple of days ago, daughter yesterday, wife this morning. I've got two more Arrives to go.
One thing I noticed was that when the phone was put into update mode, my Win7 gave the "found new hardware" dialog and I have a HTC 9#### (I don't remember the number but it was something like 96300 or so -- and a quick google the other day revealed it to be the right model number) driver show up when I clicked on the details. When I plug it in now, it just goes to Zune software again and I can't see the number.....but a driver got loaded.
Did MS push a driver or did whatever flashing mode cause Win7 to recognize it? This might go alonEg with the tethering work being carried out......
EDIT: 93100. Looked through history.
Thats good to know. ive yet to update but i seen it was available so i will do so tomorrow.
Does this driver remain when shown under device manager with the phone plugged in? I will upload the xp 32 htc usb modem driver tomorrow to this post. perhaps this driver can help.
After getting the update, when I plug in the phone, it shows up as "Windows Phone USB" (or was it USB Windows Phone) and not as the 91300. It only showed up in that mode when the phone screen was in a different mode....so, I guess similar to the HTC USB Modem driver screen shot shown above.
EDIT: Found a picture of what the screen looked like when the "New Hardware" was found.... http://www.wp7connect.com/tag/ssl/
success
I'll be updating this afternoon
Here's both the vcom and usbmodem drivers
I was able to get it to work after wahwka helped me
They should install 1st time when you manually force the drivers
here's the thread which I found very useful
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000
Now here's what's really interesting
The modem ONLY dials out in "Zune Mode" not "Router Mode" which is the opposite of what everyone says on that thread.
So it would seem the dfrouter app is not needed at all on the arrive.
Like the modem can be used right out the box if the PC had drivers.
More people need to test what I've found.
I have not been able to connect yet I get error 692 but it may be just a setting is wrong as people have posted in that thread.
I will get working on some windows 7 drivers and see what happens on that PC
I believe the pc I have at my disposal is windows 7 64 so thats what I'll get working on next.
ALSO this app may be dangerous if you're only chevron unlocked read the thread
theres a possibility you may not be able to sync with zune.
I'm developer unlocked so I don't worry about this.
The developer took a lot of heat for this program and he was only trying to help the community so read first.
Id recommend making a backup first. Ill post the win 7 32 bit drivers here tomorrow. I'm still getting error 692 on this [email protected] computer too. I'm begining to wonder if something needs to be changed/tweaked in the phone program to get it to work. Ive just started learning silverlight so maybe ill ask dfvn.
Windows 7 32 Drivers attached.
I'll begin working on windows 7 64 next.
W7 64 Drivers
Windows 7 64 Drivers
This one seemed to be a b&%$h to install
Here's how I got them to install
I plug in the phone via usb
A bubble appears in the bottom right corner saying windows update is looking for drivers
click it
when the next window pops up click the cancel installing drivers
(These steps have to be done quickly or drivers will install and you will have 2 devices portable device HTC T7575 and windows usb device)
If done quick enough you will have two unknown devices _MI01 and _MI00
Force the drivers to install as previously written and ignore the MS warnings and they will install.
From here I notice the same things in all 3 PC setups
The drivers only appear to install in "Zune Mode"
In "Router Mode" I can only get one device to show up
"HTC" MI_00 and MI_01
If I uninstall, click usb sync, htc modem, no matter what I do I cannot get 2 unknown devices unless its in "Zune Mode"
--This needs to be tested by others--
If others come up with the same results
Then this tells us 2 things
1. Our phone or the way it interacts with dfrouter is different than the other wp7 phones that dfrouter works on
2. There is a chance that the htc arrive can be used as a modem without dfrouter and anybody will be able to use it as a modem
Has anyone called Sprint to see when they will offer tethering?
I have been using the APN "internet.com"
If this is not right it could be the reason I have'nt been able to connect
because the modem does appear to dial out
I might be wrong, but I think the APN is supposed to be blank for CDMA carriers. I can't post links but Google "tcp_apn_etc_for_sprint" and see the pinstack thread.
I have already been having problems with my Arrive's EVDO modem getting stuck in "null state" (kills all wireless data until RTN wipe) so I will probably wait for a more stable tethering solution.
For what it's worth I am running WinXP 32bit and using the attached drivers when playing around in QPST/QXDM and in USB Storage Mode. Hope some of this helps you!
Ok, I did this on my Samsung Focus, which is dev unlocked. The internet sharing works great to be honest. It says that it will Interop unlock your phone as well but I have a new problem now as when I tried to deploy the Advanced Configuration tool to my phone, it keeps giving me an error saying my device is not connected and I need to make sure it is connected to my pc. Yes, it is and Zune recognizes it but I cannot get any other apps to sideload any longer. Nothing else seems to be wrong but the Application Deployment keeps giving me the same error message. Has anyone else tried this and had luck, or the same problem. Please help if you can, thank you. I want to get custom themes for my phone bad. I already have the battery percentage app, the folders app, and the screen capture app which are all great. Any help would be appreciated.

I used this right here. ^^^^ It had worked as advertised and was quick and easy. I have internet sharing and it works. Like I said, I tried to deploy the Advanced config tool but now I can't seem to deploy any apps to it. The deployment tool just tells me It can't connect to the device, make sure it is connected to the pc. It is and it is synced with zune so I don't know what the problem would be.

Ok I just checked with few XAP Files and I got a same error for one but not for other.
I tried installing the NokiaMap App which is on the xda forum it failed but the Battery App worked.
I just get the same connection error no matter what app I try to sideload now.
You don't by chance have internet sharing on while you are trying to deploy do you? This possibly could cause problems. I just my XAP on two of my devices and it worked on both and I can still side load other apps including ones I know are interop unlock required like WP7 Root Tools so perhaps there is something wrong with the XAPs themselves.
EDIT: When in doubt when dealing with anything Windows try a reboot of both the PC and the phone.

Voluptuary, I am pretty sure I didn't have it one as I rebooted everthing multiple times but I did turn it on and try to deploy and got the same error message. Then I just turned internet sharing off and redeployed and it loaded, just like that. I am not sure why or how but I got the advanced config tool on my phone now. What I wanted on my phone most was that tool so I can change my theme colors. Now I am smiling. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.
No errors, but no Internet Sharing menu
Hi, so I followed all the instructions and got no errors:
deployed XAP - no errors
loaded up diag tool, and entered codes, selected system tweaks - no errors
although it just sits there and says "loading GPRS Profile for system tweaks"
chose Save and rebooted phone
There is NO Internet Sharing option in the main settings menu..

Hello,
My Lumia 710 is not recognized by Zune, I've tried all possibilities that are in the forums and Microsoft ZUNE and still does not.
Help please
If you've literally tried "all the possibilities that are in the forums" I'm not sure why you expect we'll be able to help you, but...
Make sure you're using the original cable (not all USB cables work, it's stupid, and no, just because you bought it along with the phone doesn't count; use the one that came in the box).
Make sure your Zune software is up to date (it *should* prompt to install).
Make sure your PC has the WP7 drivers installed (if it doesn't, connect the phone then install the driver using Device Manager and searching Windows Update).
Try different USB ports.
Make sure the cable is firmly seated at both ends.
Give Zune a few seconds, I've seen it take up to ~15 seconds to detect the phone although it's normally almost instant.

Oh well, so it's not just me. I've literally tried everything in order to sync my GF's 710 but no way. Are you getting the "Can't Connect to Your Phone. Disconnect it, Restart it, Then Try Connecting Again" error message?
I tried this solution http://www.governor.co.uk/news-plus...ect-it,-restart-it,-then-try-connecting-again which apparently worked for many but it doesn't work for me: I haven't got anything under "Personal", and for the second part I cannot locate the folder C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA, the path isn't right for me.
Where can I find that stupid RSA folder? Any clue?
I'm really stuck here, apparently I'm getting this error on 2 laptops: my GF's one with Vista and mine with Win7. This is really annoying...
I've solved this problem, in my case, just run in compatibility mode with Windows Vista, and puff...Work fine now.
Thx for the answers

you possibly just ran into the leap day bug.

in short, set the data to March 1 and you will be able to connect. then you can return to current date.
everything should be fine after the 29th.
I recently went through the process of de-bloating this phone; following the helpful guides here on the AT&T G3 General forum.
However, I am finding that I cannot connect via USB to my notebook. I am going to try this on my PC @ home this pm and see if this just is not a driver issue on this end.
I restored the LG PC Suite & Suite Service to system (as well as the settings) and tried the PC suite connection app on my notebook. No dice there either...I do not even see the phone asking me how I want to connect to the laptop before I began all this de-bloat.
Is there an APK, etc. I am missing on the phone that I need to bring back to make the PC suite work again, much less connect with my notebook?
I do have developer settings / usb debugging enabled as well as (re-) installed the LG driver package. Thank you for reading / assisting in advance.

perhaps a list of the things you did would help us decipher what might be wrong. Everyone's idea of 'debloating' is different so I'm sure you've done something different then I have.

Thanks for the reply. I removed pretty much everything on the lists provided in the AT&T G3 forums and now Windows 8 refers to my device under "Printers & Devices" as a "USB Charge Only Interface". I am on my home PC now where I can verify a few days ago I could connect to the device.
To be more specific, I cannot switch the G3 into MTP mode. Does anyone know if there is a specific apk (libs, etc) to re-enable this feature?

This is the reason I usually just freeze apps in titanium backup instead of uninstalling bloat altogether. I've had this kind of issue with other devices in the past so I always err on the side of caution. Like the other member said if you can list what all you removed so we can narrow down which app is causing your issue.

This is going to be kind of obvious but have you gone into devices on your pc and removed the LG drivers? If you remove them and then plug it in it should auto detect and reinstall the drivers. If it doesn't then at least we know its not a driver issue and it is in fact something on your device. I know it'd be a huge coincidence to both the notebook and desktop to have the same problem but the drivers could have somehow been corrupted.

USB Charge Only Interface
this rings a bell, the first time I connected my phone to the computer it did this, I had to change the setting to MTP mode. There should be a notification on the phone that says something about changing the usb mode.
Also I don't think you get this option if the drivers aren't installed properly so that's another thing you could try

For sure. Its affecting more than that too.
I tried messing with real 4k (not 2k) wallpapers in GN launcher and it really messed with the background. Half screen black and flashing the image every 10 secs...even 1080 wallpapers starting failing.
Switched back to stock launcher and sort of fixed. Reboot finally allowed me to use GN with any 2k or less wallpaper again lol.
