This isn't working for me. It keeps saying it can't install ADP and asks me for a CD and won't install any drivers. Anyone else having this problem? Mine didn't come with a CD so i'm not sure what to do. Thanks.

I had the same issue Also, I don't see htc sync on the phone. I deleted the ADP device in device manager and loaded the verizon vcast media manager assuming that it would install what it needed. I don't know if that worked, but so far so good. I'll look again tomorrow, too many other things to do with the phone. I got music on it which is what i wanted out of connecting to the pc for now.

I had to download HTCSync from HTC, otherwise your instructions worked for me....

It tries to install but eventually asks me to put in the CD. There is no CD though.

How'd you get your music on? That's basically what I wanted but still no luck. Thanks.

Having the same problem, in order to transfer my protected files to be able to play them, i need file sync. Mass storage and htc syn mode will not work for me, but for the life of me, i can't get the darn phone to show up in file sync for windows media. it's just not installing.

When i connected i chose media sync - after a long wait it showed up as a media device in windows and I was able to sync using Windows media player. Most Album art didnt come up, but tunewiki seemed to have a fetch album art feature that pulled down a lot more, though I am not sure that the default music program is seeing that album art.

The drivers are on the device on the "Verizon Mobile" partition. Connect the device to your computer in "Internet Connection mode" and press open on the AutoPlay prompt (or run the TL-Bootstrap.exe found on the partition). You don't have to actually download the VCAST sync app from the site that launches after you press "Yes" as the drivers for your phone have already installed by then.

Still no adb, however, so I'm going to try the HTC Sync found here: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...Fwww.htc.com%2Fus%2Fsupport%2F&token=kXWtH3DR

*UPDATE*
This worked. Installed HTC Sync from the link above, plugged my phone into the USB via HTC Sync mode, ran the HTC Sync application and named my phone. Now I can adb shell into the internal memory as long as my device is connected (doesn't matter the mode, maybe no mass storage mode allowed like on other devices). Waiting on root so I can get rid of the bloatware...

 

[dolceficante]

Were you able to deploy to it from Eclipse? I keep getting errors that communication with ADB has been interrupted& to restart ADB, but when I restart, same thing keeps happening

 

[SoldierofCatan]

I downloaded the HTC Sync software (its on the Thunderbolt Download page at HTC's website).

Set my phone to act like a disc drive by going to Settings>Connect to PC>Default connection type>Disk drive

Then your phone will show up in Windows with a drive letter. Mine is H:\. Then I copied my music to H:\media\audio

Each of my cd's has a file titled folder.jpg that has cd art for the respective CD so when I'm playing a song I get the cd cover.

So the internal storage is not accessible when you set it to mass storage like the Incredible?

Bump for info.

Anyone else have problems installing the ADB Driver? New to Android. PC installed all drivers but the ADB Driver. I'm currently downloading HTC Sync for the Thunderbolt from HTC.com.

However, it is taking upwards of 4 hours or more!

Has anyone installed HTC Sync for TB and have it correct the ADB issue? I don't want to wait over 4 hours and find out it didn't work.

Thanks!

One more thing, added from above? Anyone know where to locate the appropriate ADB Driver for a Vista 64 OS system if the HTC Sync download doesn't include it?
