Installing drivers for HTC Desire
I recently treated myself to a shiny new HTC Desire – partly to learn more about Android development, and partly because, well, I wanted one. :) It’s a great piece of kit, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it.
I wanted to debug apps on the handset rather than the simulator, but like many others, I had big problems installing drivers under Vista (32 bit). The solution, for me, was to install HTC Sync.
After a good hour of struggling, this installed in minutes and solved all of my problems. Hopefully this saves someone else some time!









Ouch. That’s the first thing I tried except they don’t have a HTC sync for osx. Making the problem that little bit more fun for me.
According to the docs:
“If you’re developing on Mac OS X, it just works. Skip this step.”
That a lie then?
my htc desire is playing up..it keeps on turning off and restarting again…some time had to disconnect battery….don’t know what to do…need some help….
@ kitione its a fault with the phone. you need to send it back for repair
