Hi I got a htc arrive not to long ago. I force upgraded to mango. I have chevron unlocked the phone as I am a new developer. My computer crashed and I had a backup I had to put on a new hdd.


Now I have everything back up but evertime I try to connect to zune it says that:

"Connection Error, Can't connect to your phone. Disconnect it, restart it, then try reconnecting again."

I have tried that and I have tried reinstalling zune. The backup I had contained some setting but mostly just files i needed.

Anybody have any ideas?

I don't think so. I hadn't used the Zune software in awhile since I was just programming

Did you completely uninstall/reinstall Zune (deleting the directory) when you reinstalled. Something probably stuck in there.

I'm actually experiencing the same issue with my old Focus. I also forced Mango on it a little while back. I wonder if it caused an issue.

You can download them again as long as you use the same windows live ID.

Did you try a different cable?
