Greets All,
I didnt know if this was on here, or if anyone had figured it out, but I couldnt get the HTC Sync program to install drivers into Windows 2003 server, so after about 2 hours I finally figured a way to get it installed. But I ran into another issue: I couldnt get the One Max to be recognized by the HTC Sync Manager to sync the phone, after hours of trying, I finally figured it out and thought I would share my findings for anyone else that might be having a issue:
1) Getting drivers for windows 2003 server
2) Getting the HTC Sync Manager to work correctly with Windows 2003 Server (Possibly a XP issue as well)
First, attached to the bottom of this post is the drivers extracted for windows 2003 to recognize the HTC One Max.
Connect the phone to the computer, it will then ask you for the CDC serial driver, Dont choose to let it find it online, then pick the first radio button and then point to the directory of the drivers from here, and then it will prompt you for you for a ".sys" driver, again point it to this folder. It will then or should find the MTP driver and should install without your help. Then you can install the HTC Sync Manager.
Once its installed, you will find that it wont find your phone and connect to it, I waited and waited nothing. What you need to do is below:
After installing HTC Sync Manager, the driver that needs to be installed will be located in the folder attached here.
Go into Device Manager and find your device under "Imaging Devices -> Digital Still Camera", or "Imaging Device -> HTC One Max", or under "Portable Devices -> HTC One X/S".
Go to update that driver, and do a force update where you pick the driver (bottom selection), if you choose for it to find it, it wont. Choose the folder you downloaded from here and point it. XP's own MTP driver doesnt work with the One Max, but the HTC MTP driver does!
Once installed it will change locations to Portable Devices and under it, it will say HTC One Max (Driver version should be: 1.0.0.15, Date: 10/18/2013).
Then connect your phone and you should be connect almost instantly!
I can now both use HTC Sync Manager, and browse the filesystem through My Computer.
Hope this helps you guys out!
I cant believe I am the only one that this helped. I thanked it when you first posted because I knew it would come in handy at some point. Unfortunately I didnt think about it and spent a good couple of hours myself before I found it searching again. Windows xp does not like this phone straight out of the box. Thanks again!
504 views, and 105 downloads, its helped more then people have let on, but over the years I've learned somestimes you get replies, sometimes you get eggs. The main thing is its helped at least 105 people.
And yet just 2 ppl wanted to click the Thanks button :/

I installed 2005, and couldn't sych at all by AS4, everytime it tried to connect, i said looking for changes and then a protection fault, so I downgraded to wm2003se and active sych couldnt connect, I reinstalled AS 3.7 and then 3.8, but it can not run at all it just starts connecting, then stops and I can not show Activesynch window, it can not even explore the device
does anybody have a solution for this, or do I have to format and reinstall windows
yo medman
personally i think it was a bad mistake to upgrade to W2005. cause its still in the development phase and u wont find a lot of help from us users cause most of us are still waiting for a stable version to come out
looking at u'r situation
hard reset u'r PPC, do not connect u'r USB.....now install 3.8 MSYNC....... restrt u'r computer.....n then once rebooted......connect the USB cradle with u'r comp and put in u'r PPC...
it shld work now..
best of luck
sync problem...solved!
hey medman,
i don't see why every one is dissing wm2005, its a great rom!
but for the people who are having problems with connecting their device with wm2005 to ActiveSync 4.0 i figured out what is wrong:
if you connected your device to your computer before you installed the new
ActiveSync, it set your device with no driver, and even if you have the
ActiveSync driver now you computer allready recognised your device, so:
the solution is to delete the device setting under device manager of your
computer [start->control panel->system->hardware->device manager]
now with device manager open and with you ppc not connected:
go to the view tab and check "show hidden devices"
then look for the driver of the ppc most likely under the "Non-Plug and Play
Drivers" but if it is not there look around for the driver
when you find it, you went to delete it by right-clicking on the driver and
clicking uninstall
after you delete the old driver have ActiveSync running and place your ppc in the cradle, and the new driver should be installed by ActiveSync 4.0
if you need activesync 4.0 just tell me and i can give you my sight that i uploded as4.0 and wm2005 in a rar file, by the way...most answers are being found on this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18584&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
re:
To rooschool: I did what u suggested but same...
To Destroyer7337:
I didn't connect the ppc before the active sych, I raid this topic before I tried wm2005, I took all the precautions u mentioned, but to no avail, any way I downgraded to 2003se bu I cannot synch with all versions of activesynch
Driver?
What is the name of the driver? I can't find anything in non plug and play and I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

Not sure if anyone has been looking fot them or if anyone knows, BUT the Hero manual and HTC sync are loaded onto the supplied memory card.
Just connect it to your pc select notifications at the top of your hero then you you should see USB connected. Select it and then select mount. It then sees your Hero as a USB drive. Just drag and drop the files onto your pc`s desktop. Then install HTC sync. It then allows you to sync contacts in outlook etc.
I've got a real problem!
Just got the Hero home, WITHOUT knowing HTC Sync was on the card...
Turned it on... the SD was indicating as broken... "please format"... so I did... no more HTC Sync...
Is there a place I can donwload it from? I tried the HTC Support website... but it can not find the phone on either PC...!
Can anyone Help please?!

dont even bother trying htc sync if youre running win 7 x64, it simply doesnt work... even if you install the vista driver manually from the android sdk, i ended up importing my contacts into my google mail account and syncing over the air, better that way anyway as it is always sync'd live.
It should sync with win 7 64bit if you install the Dream driver

Thank you!!!!
yah but we want the htc rom update utility ,...how to get that the serial no doesnt match
I've got it working under Windows 7 x64. You just need the Windows Vista x64 drivers and a copy of dpinst.exe and you should be good to go. I can mail you dpinst when I get home if you pm your address.
If there's a need for it, I can create a msi package that will install the drivers automatically (but not until at least the weekend).

I've spent the last couple of hours trying to figure out why HTC Sync would not allow me to use the Mobile Network Sharing (MNS).
All morning, I had assumed that my notebook was using the MNS as I was able to access Facebook from the office. Turns out that I was latched onto a secondary WiFi access point without realizing it.
So, after installing HTC Sync, all other drivers installed fine, except for the NDIS driver which is needed in order to use MNS. I searched high and low to find a download for the driver, and finally found it.
For those of you who are missing the driver (not sure? Open Device Manager, and see if you have an Android Phone device that is showing up as an error), go to your Program Files folder, look for the HTC folder, and in it, you will find HTC Drivers... that elusive NDIS driver is stored there.
Just go to Device Manager, find the Android Phone device, right click, select Update Driver, and get it to find the driver from the folder above. Once the driver is installed, getting online is easy
From the Hero, select Menu -> Settings -> Wireless Settings -> Mobile Network Sharing
My computer keeps popping up finding new hardware when I ##3424# to go into DM mode.
I have activesync and htcsync, as well as the drivers that work up to the touch pro as well.
Give me a few minutes, I'll look into it. You might have just hit something big (from what i've seen of this so far)
You may have just found a gaping hole that could be some fun. Can't say much more, but i'll post back with some updates if this means anything.
They are attached. I modded some other drivers I found earlier. Simply, download and install :
http://www.vzam.net/uploadedfiles/WModemDriverInstaller.exe
Run specified 32bit/64bit installer, grab files out of %TEMP%, change value "0b03" to "0c08". Update driver for phone from task manager with that drivers folder. 32-bit modded drivers attached. I don't know how to talk to HTC DIag though.
Could someone try this on unix/linux? I don't have a working box (just sold my eee) Hopefully the drivers install and you get something. Looks like possibly a modem though.

PS - if this file is agains the rules, can a mod remove it? Thanks!
32 bit drivers work
Drivers work with 32 bit windows 7 if you edit the USB device ID in the files, I haven't been able to do anything of interest with it yet aside from read from the phone using QPST and QXDM, it needs to be CID'd to do anything of use, I have no idea how to go about doing it with an andriod based device.... any suggestions?
The Hero drivers work great.
Just download the Hero drivers. Then use the latest version of QPST, with ##DIAG#.
Works great. You probably don't need to go through all of that other pain to accomplish the same goal. Good find though.
So is this a dead end?
I have the latest version of Sync Manager loaded on my Windows 7 PC. When I connect my HTC One with the USB cable, my PC sees the HTC One as a connected Portable Device and pops up the AutoPlay window with options of what to do with the device. However, the HTC Sync Mgr window says there is no phone connected. Notifications in the phone says that USB is connected and the USB debugging is connected.
What do I need to do to get Sync Manager to see the phone and to sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts? Help would be most appreciated. TIA!
This is NUTS!!

This is really nuts. I have an email plus attachment from HTC Support telling me that I have to perform a Selective Startup on Win 7 in order to sync my HTC One with the HTC Sync Manager in Win 7.
I never had to do this with my Vivid!
Looks like I need to return the HTC One to the store and get a Samsung!
That's a silly reason to get a Samsung

Not silly at all! If the HTC One cannot be used to sync Microsoft Outlook Calendars and Contacts, it is not fully usable; and as such, needs to be replaced - be it with another HTC One that works properly or a Samsung.
FWIW, HTC Support has had me try a variety of different things, including trying to get the HTC One to be recognized and sync with HTC Sync Manager on a different computer. Same results, Both computers can see the HTC One, but HTC Sync Mgr will not recognize the device; and give the message "Phone not connected".
That points at the HTC One as being the problem - either hardware or software settings. HTC Support does not want to look there.
I guess it goes back to the store for an exchange.
Finally, A Solution
After multiple uninstalls and reinstalls of the HTC Sync Manager and a variety of other ineffective suggestions at the behest of HTC Support, it seems that the HTC One driver was not installed on my PC.
The solution was to update or refresh the driver in the PC Device Manager while the HTC One is connected to the PC by the USB cable
The path to the driver for Win 7/64 is: C:\Program Files_x86>>HTC>HTC Driver>Driver Files>Win7_x64
Then Double click the androidusb.inf file. Restart your PC and you should be good to go.
Unsuccessful attempts had been made to do this with the HTC One NOT connected to the PC.
Once the refresh/update was completed with the HTC One connected, a restart of the PC was required; and, once restarted, away we went.:victory:
It really took far too many contacts with HTC:Support to get this thing resolved!
Flash in the Pan
Well, I was able to get HTC Syn Mgr to recognize and sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts to the HTC One device yesterday one time.
Since then I have not been able to repeat the action; and HTC Sync Mgr absolutely will not recognize or sync the HTC One today. :crying: I think I need to take it back and exchange it for another one.
This problem is the same with two different USB cables and two different PC's. The only thing common is the single HTC One device.
An interesting side note. The calendars that did sync the one time are all synced one day off from the dates in Outlook.
Won't Play on the Same Playground
HTC Syn Manager will not play on the same playground as other sync software, even if that software is not active.
I had to uninstall ASUS Sync. Then uninstall HTC Sync Manager and it's co-workers; and then reinstall it.
It now works as it's supposed to work.
HTC is aware of this, but actually seems to like the fact that they make you remove the ASUS software for the HTC Sync Mgr to work.
When I suggested that they need to update HTC Sync Mgr so that it will play on the same playground as other sync software, their answer in not so many words was essentially "Don't hold your breath."

Thank you for the information, but I cannot get it to work, I do not seem to be able to update the driver. The androidusb.inf file just opens in Notepad if I access it directly and if I try updating via Device manager, it says all is up to date and I am not even able to choose the file, only the directory with the file. Would you please have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
I am running Ignorance V5 custom rom on my HTC One V and these problems started only after installing it.

This worked for me; just updated the device drivers on my windows pc and boom all worked fine.
Hi everyone,
i have a problem with htc sync, too. When i connect my HTC with my PC (Win7) and start the HTC Sync Manager, then first it says: phone connected (loading data). After one minute it says: device unavailable. please reconnect your device [4]. I reinstall the newest driver, the newest HTC Sync Manager, restart both my HTC and my Computer, but nothing worked. Can someone help me? I have the newest ViperRom (7.0.2) with ElementalX Kernel (18.0).

Follow nkk71's FAQ Question #2. You might also just uninstall HTC Sync Mgt (keep the drivers), a lot of folks don't use it because it can be problematic.

Thanks for your answer. I will try it. Unfortunately I need HTC sync manager to copy some playlist from iTunes on my HTC one. Because I know where my music I have on iTunes is, but there it is sorted by interpreters (Windows explorer), but I only want to copy some playlist, and it is not easy to create all these playlist again on my HTC one...

THANK YOU! 2 hrs of dicking around when my wife's HTC One M8 would no longer sync ... tried everything and stumbled onto this post. Had to install from device manager update driver rather than double click. But this manual effort worked. I remember on many of the reinstalls the Android driver did not install and then didn't show as in error ... Can't tell you how much I appreciate you sharing this. Outlook syncs fine every time ... Don't have any ASUS stuff on my desktop. Would a boot into safe mode or msconfig clean boot solve the ASUS conflict?
Its keeps saying "update needed" and "this device needs to connect with the latest version of HTC Sync Manager. Please checkup for update or download". What confuses me is that I have the latest version of Sync and my phone shows up for one second and then the message pops up. Can anyone help?
BTW I started experiencing this after unlocking my bootloader.
but i couldnt see androidusb.inf file in the folder you mentioned.
