[Q] Windows 8 / HTC Sync problems - HTC Sensation

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!)

Finally! These worked for my Incredible 2. Been hunting around for the drivers since the usual install HTC Sync to get drivers method wasn't working. Thanks!

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.

[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.

How to connect HTC Inspire 4G with PC win 7 64bit

Hi all
I just buy a HTC Inspire 4G , i can't connect it with my pc using Win 7 64bit , can you Help me?
I was connect it with pc but HTC Sync is not work , i don't understan it
I don't think this is the right section to post that question.
But, with that said, the most common cause for that problem is these two:
- You have a security software running when you install HTC Sync (HTC specifically says to turn off all security wares when you install HTC Sync).
- You didn't install it using administrator priviledge.
I have Win 7 x64 too, and doing these two worked for me. Good luck.

Reboot and try again.
Thanks all for reply

Your question is probably better suited for the general section. However, here's the link to the latest drivers provided by HTC, they're more reliable than the sync drivers. (Thanks to attn1 for the link)
I use that driver myself without issue on Win7 64-bit.

HTC Sync

Hello!
I connected Desire S with HTC Sync 3.0.5517, make a few times synchronization.... everything was OK.
And in a few days accidentally deleted (ups ((( ) HTC Sync from Desire S. So now I can't synchronize it with computer.
But Desire S works as Flash Disk, and Desire are still trying to connect with HTC Sync.
Tried to synс DS with another computer - not working. But another device (HTC Desire [not S]) is working properly on it.
Probably I should install HTC Sync apk on my device. Maybe something like HTC Sync 869.apk or similar with that.
Could you please send or give link to apk file with HTC Sync? Or another suggestions?
Thanks.

[TUTORIAL][ADB][WINDOWS 8]Connect HTC explorer to windows 8 and use adb

Hello friends,
This is my first tutorial on this forum and wishing to help my buddies overcome a simple issue I've been facing for many days after coming to windows 8... I am a regular Android App developer and when i started using Windows 8, I observed that the default adb interface couldnt detect my phone.
After a lot of searching here and there, I realized, that there is something missing. So here comes the way to connect our baby droid to the all new windows 8 -
THINGS YOU NEED -
HTC Sync latest 3.21.1
ADT - you can download this from android site.
and this file
NOW HERE COMES THE PROCESS -
1. Download and install HTC sync.
2. Unzip the ADT and add the platform tools folder to your environment path
3. Unzip the file downloaded from link above. Basically its the google usb driver.
4. Now go to device manager and see your phone should be listed as an unknown device.
5. Now find "Android Phone" with a yellow error sign in front. It will be expanded by default.
6. Right click on it and select update driver.
7. Select browse my computer.
8. Link to the folder where you extracted the google usb drivers in step 3. Check the subfolder.
9. Click next. It'll display a warning. Select Install anyway.
10. Completed.
11. You may now download SDK and ADB.
Hope this would be helpful in someway or other.... :highfive::highfive::good:
Is it necessary?
Do we really need HTC sync if we are on a custom rom?
Idea of htc sync is to have htc drivers, it is even recommended to stop htc sync when doing something with adb

Yes htc sync is not needed, but sometimes I see that if my phone is not being detected on adb and i turn on htc sync and keep it aside, my phone gets detected. So I am also a bit confused if this is at all needed or not...
just update htc sync (in case if it is not ) cuz i did the same and my phone got detected in windows 8

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.
