Can't mount htc hero to windows 7

[Mordee]

hello, I cannot mount my phone to my computer. I've tried everything from installing new drivers, to debugging on and off. Nothing seems to work. Anyone still having this problem? please help. I contacted htc, and they don't know what the hell they're talking about. one told me to dl htc sync 2.0.33 then another said to get the latest 2.0.25.....

K, well I run Windows 7 64-bit... just try rebooting your once or twice, then plug it in with both usb debugging on and off. Then if it DOES work, you should see the notification in the notification bar, just drag down, press it, then try mounting.

2.0.33 on mine works flawlessly.

I had the same problem. All I did was try a different usb cable and it worked fine.

 

[Mordee]

Nope, tried all that. Sigh, this is pissing me off.

Sometimes installing PDAnet helps with the driver issue..

I would try it if nothing else is working

i tried pdanet too, it worked only once for me.

I used this and have not had any issues getting my Hero to connect to my Win7 64bit

One more shot, uninstall your sync software completely. Redownload the correct version (I dont know which one that is atm) and do a fresh install. That's all I got for fixes... Good luck if you keep trying, it took me a week of effing around with it to get it running, fwiw.

I know I got the same errors after downloading the newest version. I uninstalled and and use PDANet and have no issues.

 

[Mordee]

i tried pdanet, but the moment i logged off and restart my computer, it wont work again.
i'll try pdanet once more.. i've installed and unstalled htc sync numerous times already.

 

[Mordee]

im getting error 31 with pdanet.

Try this, go to Deposit Files and download the file to your desktop once downloaded extract the content (everything inside the folder Vista_x64 and your folder should look like the attached screen shot) to C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files then reboot the computer, open HTC Sync then plug in phone, once plugged in from the phone select htc sync ... it should connect from this point on.
I have done this on many of my customers laptops with success and have yet to hear about them coming back with sync issues

Awesome! Thank you so much! I was having the same issues, and nothing worked... This saved my butt!

I have Win 7 64 bit. I just went to HTC site and upgraded to the newest version of HTC Sync 2.0.33. I plugged my phone in and it immediately installed the drivers and found my phone.

Weird... Didn't work for me

 

[kellysa111]

It didn't work for me either at first.
Make sure you disabled your anti virus first.
I uninstalled the HTC Sync and the device driver that is in the same folder. ( i had it installed a while ago, but i had forgotten about it because it wouldn't work)
With the phone unplugged from the computer, i downloaded the HTC sync from here:
HTC Mobile Phone Support - HTC Hero? (Sprint) - Downloads

to uninstall the HTC sync and the driver, go to start>all programs>HTC>HTC driver, then click uninstall and then uninstall the rest of HTC sync.

Worked like a charm until the cable stopped working.
