Did you install HTC Sync also? Although the instructions state to make sure HTC Sync is not installed, during the install of HTC Sync it adds some drivers, too that are needed also.
When you install HTC Sync, you will see HTC Sync and HTC Driver Installer in Add/Remove programs. You need to uninstall HTC Sync but leave the HTC Driver Installer and then go through the instructions.

Tom

Ok that may be my problem. I have never had HTC sync. Where do I get HTC sync from? Just Google it? Thanks for the help.

[Q] HTC Tasks for wildfire

Hi,
For some reason i can't seem to connect to downloading more widgets from the HTC.
I want to know if there is some way to download the htc tasks for my wildfire?
Thanks

If you are using the new wildpuzzle rom then you can't. There is bug in that ROM which does not allow you to download

Ok, but is it possible to download the application from somewhere else?
Can i get the apk for that application?
Thanks
I just uninstalled it and re-installed it now and it works, I'm on WPv8. And earlier in the day I upgraded, to 1.10 released January 28, 2011.

[Q] "Get more HTC widgets" downloads but doesn't install

As the title says, the menu to get more widgets in Lightning Rom (my rom) will download the widget but not install it. If anyone has found a fix for this so I can fix my jacked up rom, it would be greatly appreciated. I have been working on this all morning and am stuck....as always thanks for any info.
To my knowledge and I could be wrong but the options are there but since there is no official support for the thunderbolt with htc hub you can't install any of them. One htc gives official support then you will be able to use them.

This is not the case with the widgets, an unrooted phone can use these. what you are talking about is skins, and you are correct they cannot be downloaded at this time.
Ringtone downloads work.

HTC Sync Manager Problems and MyPhoneExplorer

Hi
I am new to android phone and have been reading these forums regarding HTC Desire X. Yasir (Nexus Prime) has helped me a for unlocking bootloader.
I was facing a problem with HTC Sync Manager. I am using windows 8 64 bit version and after spending one complete day, i was not able to sync my contacts / calender between phone and laptop.
I found a free software named ''myphoneexplorer''. Its awesome and has much more capabilities than HTC Sync Manager cant even imagine for next couple of years. You can access your phone, backup and restore contacts, messages, call logs and much more. You can even send sms, chat, make phone call and even control your phone from laptop using USB cable, wifi or bluetooth.
Just wanted to share my discovery.
Your forums are very helpful as i just started with android scene yesterday with no knowledge of it. But with the help of your forums specially Yasir, i am gonna install a ROM on it in a while.
Thanx
Great to have you here! And thanks for the tip

EDIT:
Tried it now, don't use it, my NOD32 went crazy when I went to applications tab. It installs some market app which leads you to the site blocked by antivirus.

[Q] help with rooting

I'm having an early issue trying to root this phone. When I click to get my token I get a prompt that tells says device not found. I've uninatalled and reinstalled the driver 3 times with same result. Oddly though...just as the drivers were done installing I get a blank black prompt window...it kinda flashes then disappears. It seems almost as if the drivers didn't install correctly but they do show up in my programs on my PC. Any ideas?

Yes debugging is on...not sure about sync manager. This is my 1st HTC phone. All I did was install the drivers from the link...and of course the toolkit.

Ok well you shoud know whether or not you installed HTC Sync Manager, because it would have prompted you to do so when you plugged your phone in for the first time to your PC.
Also, just to clarify, when you click Get Token ID, nothing happens at all? Or does your phone make it into the bootloader screen?

When I plug my phone in I do get 2 pop ups, one that says theres hardware to install and an auto play pop up that does say sync manager "USB driver update is available" I've always closed those...should I run the sync manager update? No my phone does nothing when I click token. I get a black box that says device not found.

Have you rebooted your PC since you installed the drivers, tried unplugging your phone and plugging it back in to ensure the drivers have installed? You may need to clean up your drivers - there is a tool you can use, I will point it your way. But let me know if you've performed a reboot
Just saw your last post: Make sure now that your HTC Sync is completely closed before you use the toolkit. And by completely exit, I mean you must find the icon in your system tray once you close the program, and right click + Exit. Then try the tool again.

OK, I was able to get into boot and copy my token but when I clicked submit token it opened up an web page but the web page was blank. I remember that I needed to be logged in to the HTC site so I used the link that was emailed yesterday for account confirmation. I'm wondering if I need to log in thru the toolkit??

http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/
Here is where you need to go, make sure you login - Select the HTC M8 on the list and it will walk you through the process of unlocking your bootloader. However, I am unfamiliar with the toolkit as I am running a mac, and unlocked my bootloader and rooted through different methods. But that is the web-page you must go to. I'm guessing the instructions on the toolkit instruct you to go through that process outlined at the HTC-Dev website.
Still no dice...I'm getting a blank web page when I click the submit token button.

Did you go to the website I provided? You can get your unlock token by following the steps provided on the website.
I suppose I should say that if you are not familiar with running fastboot commands and getting your phone into the bootloader then you probably shouldn't use the website there....Perhaps post on the thread for the toolkit to see if anyone can figure out why its not working for you

I did go to the link and logged in with same result. The instructions state that I only need to be logged into the site. This is my 1st HTC phone so I'm not fimilar with everything yet. I did post in the Dev section...waiting for a reply.

OK, so I was able to fix the web page issue. It was a problem with Firefox...I uninstalled it and now I'm able to open the toolkits Dev and token pages but I have another dumb issue. I swear I'm not this dumb but when I copy the token and paste it into the webpage...it seems to only copy this < and nothing else. I tried it a few times with same result. I did close everything down and tried to copy a random chunk of token and it did copy/paste but now when I copy it pastes the same small chunk. I rebooted my PC in hopes to removing everything I have copied. We'll see...

I can now copy and paste the token but what would you know....another issue. It must be user error but I'm following the exact instructions. When I copy the code (token start to token end), paste it then click submit...it tells me "invalid boot loader token length". It appears to the look the same as the example given on the site. The guy that posted the video said that it didn't copy a few lines when he pasted his token and he had to manually input them in. I can't see what he was missing due to him blacking out his code. Has anyone else come across this?

If there is even an extra space at the end of the paste it will register invalid. You must make sure there are no spaces. That was often the problem whenever I ran into the same error. Make sure you don't delete any other symbols accidentally as well. It's very precise.

I'm pretty sure I was spot on with my copy. There's 4 > symbols before the token and 5 at the end. I copy from the 1st < all the way to the end. I'll do it again to make sure I didn't copy any blank spots...I'll update later on.

You were right. The token pastes one spot over to the right...so I manually backed up each line and it worked. Next I had the file emailed to me. I downloaded the file (unlock_code.bin) Im assuming that the file I need to use is the MiB.bin that's in my down load folder.

Should be just the bin file, just read the instructions and rest assured you can't go wrong. Glad you got the token. Let me know when you're all unlocked! You're so very close my friend.
Sent from my HTC One_M8
Do you know what the file is called once its downloaded? The file that I downloaded from my email is called unlock_code.bin but I dont see any file with that name...I only see MiB.bin and it didn't work. I'm using chrome browser...maybe I'll try firebox or something. It seems I have an issue after every single step....its frustrating since I'm following very simple instructions.

[Q] Rooted/Flashed new ROM, phone is good, but now cant connect to PC via USB

I am new to Android. Just rooted, got s-off, setup TWRP, and installed Viper Rom. Everything seems to be all good on the phone.
When I attach my phone to my PC, I see the phone in my computer, but it is not letting me browse the files/folders any longer. If I try to open the phone memore or SD card, it locks up my windows explorer adn shows not responding. If I remove the micro USB cable, every think snaps back into action. I have rebooted the phone and PC I am sure its probably something stupid I am missing.
What is the deal?
Try uninstalling drivers then reconnecting. You can find the yellow explanation icon in device management
