I am sure several people are having this problem. I tried searching, and found some answers, but need some further clarification.
First off, I am on a 2008 Intel Macbook. I have Parallels Desktop installed, running Windows Professional SP2.
My issue is that when I run ActiveSync, my device is not detected. I have the USB to be run on Parallels, have all the drivers, to no avail.
I have Missing Sync for Windows Mobile running on OSX aswell. That is useful for installing CABs and .exe, but I haven't found a way to flash my device alternatively.
I did try the MicroSD flashing method, but when I format my device in FAT32, transfer the necessary .nbh file, and boot in Bootloader mode, the screen does not change from the white with blue "loading..." text. The MicroSD card is 4GB.
I am hoping you guys can help me figure out a way to flash a ROM to my device on the OSX platform.
Thanks in advance, and I hope you don't find me arrogant for starting a new thread on this topic.
TO ADD: I get the following error trying to run HARDSPL.:
The application failed to load required components. If the .NET Compact Framework is installed on a storage card, please ensure that this card is in place and launch the application again. If this fails, a re-installation of the .NET Compact Framework is recommended. Support info: -2147483643 (80000005)
This must have been covered before but search does not seem to be working for me here.
I want to access the mem card in my Fuze (stock ROM) on my work PC but it needs to load a driver for the new USB device it detects. I do NOT want to install ActiveSync on the machine, only the driver that will allow the USB connection to work in Disk Drive mode.
Anyone know what file and where I could find it would allow this connection to work?
Installing applications is prohibited by company policy and installing ActiveSync would be detected. Installing a USB driver would not be.
Anyone?

What OS are you using? Windows 2000 and definitely XP and Vista are plug and play. I'm using XP and the driver is here:
c:\Windows\system32\drivers\USBSTOR.SYS
If that driver isn't on your system, have you tried using the "Found New Hardware" wizard to connect to microsoft to automatically download the driver for you?

XP. The driver is not found by the wizard. I have had this on other systems before.
It is installed during the ActiveSync install. If you uninstall ActiveSync the driver is left behind and will still function but corporate policy has gotten strict on unapproved installs and traces are always left behind even after uninstall.
I will look on my home device for the file and see if I can move it to my work PC and get it working.
Thanks.
Has anyone else using XP had any issues installing the USB Driver for the Magic? I've tried every possible method to get it to work and it just will not install. A method that appears to work for some is in this link-
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg09692.html
Although this did not work for me. There was also a suggestion of copying the inf file and renaming certain strings by one digit. Any suggestions?
I used the latest SDK with the included driver. Set the environment paths. Nobody has any other suggestions?
renaming the inf file solve the prob for me.

What did you rename it to? I renamed it to android_usb_Magic.inf like the linked post said.
Hi Gimpeh
This worked perfectly for me. The issue was once it installed the Windows drivers there was no way back. However, follow this
So you plugged your Android phone into your Windows machine having forgotten to switch on USB debugging…
Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging
Then Windows detected your device as a USB-Mass storage device and won’t change the settings, regardless of how many times you uninstalled the device. Thread on it here.
This solution worked for me and didn’t require editing the registry settings (I don’t know if the reboot is unnecessary).
(1) Plugin phone
(2) Uninstall any drivers that mention “HTC Android Mobile USB Device”
(3) Unplug phone and restart
(4) Install and run USBDeview
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
(5) Using USBDeview find the Android device (for some reason Windows hides uninstalled drivers instead of deleting them), right click on it and uninstall.
(6) Follow the official instructions to the letter this time.

Good luck!
This is pretty close to the instructions I followed earlier. No resolution. All HTC device drivers have been removed. Although there is a composite USB device installed (not labeled HTC). I know sometimes if windows does not recognize a device it will show it as a composite.
Install HTC Hotsync - http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=573&news_id=169
Have your phone plugged in first then install the app. You don't need the additional drivers it list. Just the Hotsync program.
That did the trick for me.
edit the inf file under the x86 folder inside the usb driver.
replace the vid_0bb4&pid_0c02 with vid_0bb4&pid_0c03
cos somehow my htc is recongnise as vid_0bb4&pid_0c03 instead of vid_0bb4&pid_0c02.
Hotsync didn't work and neither did replacing the string from 02 to 03. I got it to recognize at work on a Vista machine but since then it will not recognize on my home XP or any other Vista machine. When I select Have Disk and select the INF file it says something to the effect of There is no driver information for this device.
Additional Note: Although the device was recognized on that one vista machine, it would not recognize when it was in HBOOT mode.
try to search your registery using the string "vid_0bb4&pid_0c0"
and c wat is your system detecting it as and edit the inf accordingly.

CTRL+F Put in that key and found nothing.
I also have the same problem, just with Vista. Happened after I plugged in the phone the first time without the USB dev debug enabled. I tried a lot of things such as the mentioned USBDeview software and so on. None of the methods have worked. So I am using my Linux laptop to do stuff on the phone.
I guess the only sollution is to reinstall the OS, Windows is very strange a lot of times.

How would you go about flashing the recovery.img in Ubuntu. I didn't see any drivers for linux.

I finally figured the damn thing out. For some reason windows recognized the ION as a Video device and installed it as such. I figured it out after I got irritated and just uninstalled everything that wasen't plugged in.
woa.
TT is strange. Which version of windows? vista or xp?
Its XP Home on a HP Mini. I'm glad I finally have it figured out. I've probably spent 20 hours on this issue alone. I even went to Ubuntu since Windows was being...well windows.
I found a way to get cabs to install via ctiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center. Previously I have came to a problem that it does not run as administrator. With a combination of CABviaAciveSync and Always Run as Administrator I have solved this problem.
To get the latest of each go here:
CABviaActiveSync
Always Run as Administrator
Use ARAA to make "CABviaActiveSync.exe" ARAA and then you should be able to install via ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center!
As a side note I'd like to mention that if you use this plus AppToDate will make it even easier. After a hard reset (can't figure out how to cook my own rom... yet) all I have to do is install my old version of the app then AppToDate updates them all!
Very nice. I have found it's just as easy to load any cab file onto the micro SD card, and run the cab file from the SD card on the phone...

Thats what I have been doing but after many flashes its gets a tad annoying. I'm also aware of programs that will install a complete folder of cabs but I just prefer using the computer. I do keep all the cabs on my SD too just in case i have to Hard-Reset on the go.
will this work on windows 7 x32?
using htc hd2 phone
Installed drivers a few times. Win 10 shows my 6 as windows phone. Didn't before I reloaded windows.
When you plug the phone, be sure to activate the transfer mode in the phone settings.
Drivers are included in a folder as a mounted device in "computer"
Yeah
I did that I can see the files on the phone but shows as win phone in devices and shows windows driver
A OK.
Is that a problem?
Yes

*Win 10 no longer sees the phone period. Under file explorer or in devices. Tried reloading phone and usb drivers numerous times.
Kinda sucks as I can't transfer files, root, twtp etc
So it used to work but now it isn't?
It won't solve your problem but if you need to transfer files you can still use a ftp (numerous apps on the store). Just mount it as a network folder using the local ip the app gives you
I give for now
