Ya i can get the phone into DIAG mode just fine. I finally got my main pc up and running and it has windows XP on it. Tryn it on that now... Ill keep you updated.

I dinked around with all kinds of drivers last night and still no go, and turning off and on and reinstalling stuff in various combos. Ill keep it on! Thanks guys for all the help!!!

okay, i can get my XP machine to see it as a storage device only now, it gives me the question marks in the device manager, but doesnt recognize the drivers at all when I try to put it to the folder where i have them stored at and labeled

Try doing ##DIAG command twice. Sometimes the phone kicks itself out of diag mode on the first try (at least that has been my experience). After the second time, it should stay on the black diagnostic screen which is what you want.

did you use the option to "let me pick which drivers to install" ? if not use that option and point to the drivers i put up, i just plugged a eris and those are the drivers it loads.

It was wierd Rich, i tried that, but every time i pointed it at where i put them, it kept sayn nothing in the folder when it woudl try to load them...

UPDATE: first off, thanks everyone for all the input and the help, this is why i keep coming here and i keep up my booster status!

Its finally working, and let me just say, I HATE WINDOWS 7.

secondly, I had to use XP and completely wipe it of all htc anything, then i reinstalled android sdk, along with htc sync, gave it a try and it finally worked, got my com port working, and cdma ws and qpst all see it now, so I can work on the rest of it all now, 3 days of wanting to kill myself and it finally works.

THANK YOU ALL!!!!!

So sounds like the real problem was that I needed to use a clean XP and not motherf'ing wind 7!
