[Completed] Converting HTC Manager Contacts - XDA Assist

Hello guys,
I have installed a custom ROM on my HTC ONE V phone after doing a backup with the HTC Sync Manager. I updated the firmware (Hellboy) and then played with a bunch of different ROMs. I think I did a backup with clockwork at some point on it but I don't think I can find it between the other folders on the phone. Main problem as soon as I installed the custom ROM I was unable to connect it with the computer anymore. First of all it displayed only the USB Mass USB connection, tried a lot of times with various different ROMs to enable via terminal mtp or ptp with no luck (computer sees it only as an external drive and HTC manager doesn't see it at all).
So I would try to revert it back to the custom ROM which looks to be even more of a hassle then installing a custom rom. Anyway, I have a new phone that I'm using now and only care for my backup contacts. I see them on my computer on AppData but they are encrypted and have the XML extension. Is there any software that can import that data into content that can be used?
Thanks!

Hi,
First, are you using Sense based roms? Only Sense based will have HTC sync. Without Sense and HTC sync, the computer just sees a random device. Trying a Sense rom, or flash back to stock will likely let you see your contacts again.
So, for more insight and help with your contacts, you will need to ask about it in your device section, here...
> HTC One V > One V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Good luck!

I just wanted to say that you're a life saver mate. Thank you so much! You took 5 mins of your time to post a reply on my thread and I saved hours or maybe more of research for this stupid issue. As soon as I searched a sense enabled ROM and install it and as soon as I realized that I can access my device from my computer using fastboot instead of adb when the device is in bootloading mode (I was trying to ping my device with "adb devices") everything went smoothly. I flashed a proper boot, a new sense-enabled ROM, I synced with my HTC Sync Manager, exported my contact list (for some reason it didn't automatically - basically never synced the contact lists), imported the contact list into my google account and bam! It appeared on my new telephone like some magic.
Wow, well done my friend!

Thank you. Thread closed.

[Q] windows mobile

hey,
well obviously I'm a newbie here and i needed to know if anyone can help me find a download link for windows mobile?it crashed on my Siemens pocketloox and i lost my cd so i've been looking everywhere for a downloadable version but i can't find one.
thanks in advance.
Dude a pda is not like a pc where you can freely install any OS you wish... The official Windows Mobile versions must be provided by your manufacturer (there isn't a Universal version per say... if you try to flash the version of another device you'll kill your phone). You may try to check Fujitsu-Siemens homepage for an official ROM update or contact them if needed
Over the net you may find ROMs for pda but bare in mind these are device specific and your device usually needs to be hacked in order to install unofficial versions (your device seems to be quite old... I don't believe you'll find any rom here since xda is almost HTC land).
Also what do you mean by crashed? Did you brick it (OS won't start... all you get is a black screen)? Have you tried removing/reinserting the battery and restarting?
the start menu suddenly has no icons,and neither the camera shortcut button nor the notes one are working.basically,it just opens and almost everything is disabled.
The easy solution is...
Just hardreset the device (seach here) and it will reset your device to factory defaults (it's like a format+reinstall)... Problem solved.
Just make sure you backup your data (photos, contacts, messages...) before because everything will be erased
thanks a lot man it worked.

[Q] Need help HTC Incredible

So I've decided I want to root my Incredible. In the process of trying to back up what I have with HTC Sync before I start I've run into 2 issues.
1) when I plug my phone into my computer I get this error message "exception processing message c0000013 Parameters 75b6bf7c 4 75b6b7c 75b6b7e" I have no idea what it means.
2) When I select the htc sync option on my phone it searches to find it on my computer and can never find it. I thought it may be a driver issue so I removed and reinstalled the driver and removed and reinstalled Sync.
Any insite would be greatly apparciated. I'm new to a lot of this and trying to learn what I can so as much info as possible would be great. Thanks guys!
Assuming that you're using Windows, have you had a look in Device Manager to see if the device is being recognised and drivers installed fully?
Perhaps check the HTC site to see if there is a newer version of HTC Sync? If you are running the latest version, perhaps an older version may work better.

[Q] Windows 8 / HTC Sync problems

Hello @ all,
I installed Windows 8 Pro and am now trying to sync my phone with HTC Sync. I currently use Android Revolution HD 6.8.0. With Windows 7 I had no problems.
What I did:
- install Full HTC Sync
- then I had no connection to my phone, I read in other threads that I have to manually install the Win7 drivers. Then Windows recognized my phone.
- Start Sync
- confugured Sync to sync my contacts and calendar
- then it started to sync and seems to stop after more than 5 minutes syncinc
- I aborted the sync and restarted HTC Sync
- I saw, that my contacts were synced, calendar too
- When I now try to sync once more it starts to sync but after some seconds HTC Sync crashes without any message...
Does someone know where the problem is?
whos using that crap software anyway? get MyPhoneExplorer :good:

You wouldn't believe how long it's taken me to find these! Finally! Worked a charm on Win 8 with the latest version of HTC Sync (which completely failed to install any drivers for the phone!)

Hi,
Unpack the zip to your desktop.
Go into bootloader,then, fastboot and plug in your usb.
On your PC,go into device manager,and click on Android device.
Click update drivers,and browse to desktop.
This might help others, but for me I could only get the bootloader driver to load in a USB 2.0 port. On the USB 3.0 it loaded but had an error every time.

Restore Windows 7 - issue resolved and your PC will thank you.
Solved - easy
Well it looks like HTC are a bit slack packaging all the correct bits for HTC Sync ..
I solved this by..
1. First deleted all the HTC components
2. install the new HTC Sync Manager sw (it has bits that HTC Sync can use, like HTC Driver Installer that will actually install)
3. then installi HTC Sync. (It will figure out what it needs and wont re install bits that got loaded in step2)
4. You may then like to open HTC sync and say OK to the Adobie Air (not esential)
5. Plug in the Phone by USB as usual and it should now find HTC Sync
Good luck, .and hope this helps someone.
ps, My Phone was a Sensation
Someone else may like to figure out what can then be uninstalled from HTC Sync Manager and still allow HTC Sync to keep running???
HTC drivers for Windows 8 are pretty bad right now, I think.

Has anyone managed to get this method working on an incredible s?
Win8 driver installation, no dodgy download method
Guys;
Don't know if this is thread is already outdated, but here is how I got it to work:
Win 8 HTC Drivers without HTC Sync, and getting the driver to install on Win 8.
1. download the latest HTC Sync tool
2. run it - first window sorts out installing prerequisites. Allow this to happen
3. if, like me, you get the '''HTC Driver failed, do you want to continue?''' message, stop there do not click anything
4. In the %temp% user profile area, you will be able to find the source files it just unpacked, including the HTCDriver file.
5. the HTC Driver file for me was HTCDriver_4.0.1.001_20121107.exe. Copy this somewhere else out of this folder.
6. go back to the installer, click no. The files in the %temp% folder will be deleted, which is why we needed step 5.
7. you will find (if you are like me) this exe will not work, it will complain about a transform being missing. Do not click anything, it will sit there.
8. using explorer or CMD.EXE find the file HTCDriver.msi. The EXE unloads that into the %temp% area too. Copy that away somewhere as the exe will remove all the files it deploys when it ends too.
9. run the found MSI file directly.
10. successful driver deployment.
11. Cancel HTC Sync application which you left in step 3 (unless you want it!)
What a bunch of a$$ but it worked this way, without downloading the outdated (and non win8 compatible drivers) from http://www.clockworkmod.com/tether/drivers and from other forums where the driver files are uploaded to other unknown (untrustworthy?) hosting sites.
Good luck!
but they are not working
i have new htc one and i am also new on android.i had an iphone5 and really bored with it anymore.windows 8 is running on my pc..i installed htc sync on my pc and connect my device to computer wirt usb cable but it says doesnt recognize my device.i didnt understand why it is so hard a htc software recognize a htc device,can anyone tell me why it is happening?
You should probably post this in the HTC one forum section here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2117
Most of us don't know very much about the HTC one since this is an HTC sensation forum.

HOX not connecting to PC after flashing CM11

Hello everyone.
Before I start, I already posted a reply under the thread
[Q&A][CM 11][4.4] CyanogenMod 11 but now one answered me.
The problem is that my HTC One X AT&T was working just fine with its original android 4.0.3 ICS and connect to Windows 7 64-bit and showing in Eclipse IDE.
After I installed CyanogenMod 11 my PC does not recognize my phone and thus cannot install the proper usb driver.
I tried to install HTC Sync Manager, the latest from HTC website.
I already have enabled usb debugging.
and when testing
adb devices
nothing is showing up.
In the Device Manager, it shows 2 new devices with yellow flags
Biometric Coprocessor
One X
Any help to allow my HOX to be recognized and showing in Eclipse IDE

Are you trying to recognize it as a storage device or through ADB? The two are not the same.. Uninstall HTC sync manager as it interferes with ADB, leave the HTC driver and IPTInstaller installed.

I thought I was clear about what I want to do!!
I do not care about storage, I am trying to achieve android development which means ADB and Android SDK related.
I did that, I originally installed HTC Sync manager just to get the driver then I uninstall just the HTC Sync and leave the driver.
from All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features
I still have 2 things from HtC
HTC BMP USB Driver
HTC Driver Installer
hope that I made it very clear to what I want to have.
And thanks for stopping by :good:
Never mind guys, I found the solution and I wanted to help whomever facing the same issue as me.
In the link bellow you will find the second way of installing USB driver for HOX AT&T.
Manually installing Android ADB USB Driver
Good luck to all of you.
Also by the way, Android KitKat CyanogenMod 11
when I installed it, some of the apps I already downloaded from Google Play has menu in them
and probably because they were not designed very well, the menu is gone with this ROM so the fix I found is
Settings --> Buttons --> in the section of "Home Button"
I picked
Long press action = Open/Close menu
and now these badly designed apps can be operated very well.

[Q] how to recover deleted data from HTC One Mini

Hello everyone,
Hope this is the right place to post this kind of request. Have also searched for old posts, but couldn't really find a similar topic for the HTC One Mini.
So Yesterday my HTC One Mini went through an unexpected factory reset.
I'd like to recover photos/videos/contacts/emails that had never been backed up or synced, but I'm having an hard time finding the right procedure.
The phone has never been rooted, USB debugging has been allowed, Android version 4.4.2, HTC Sense 6.0, Software number 4.09.161.6, HTC SDK API 6.20, Build number 4.09.161.6 CL363588 release-Keys.
I've tried to use some softwares (Recova and Wondershare Data Recovery) I already used in the past to recover lost data from SD cards and usb sticks, but the phone doesn't appear on the list of available device inside those softwares. Under my computer, the phone appears as Multimedia Portable Device and I'm able to browse the folders.
I tried also Dr. Fone, but I'm unable to get past step 3 when it tries to get some Foxxcon Bluetooth driver.
Could you please suggest me a good way to recover the lost data?
Is there any way to connect the One Mini as a Mass Storage Device to a Win 7 PC?
Thanks a lot for your help!
