Newbie help: I cant connect my 2nd hand XDA1 to pc......

Please help, i bought my xda off ebay for £117.
it works great, but when i set it in the usb sync cradle and get pc to look for it, nothing is found on any serial/usb connections.
is there something im not doing right ?
i have not got the original xda drivers disks, so perhaps i need that ?
please help, as i cant use this till i get it sorted....
You need Active Sync from Mircosoft .......
Take a look at their side and download it....
HTH

ive done this, i even tried 3.5 and 3.6 to see if any difference.
but the pc can not detect the xda at all.
unknown usb device comes up on the screen when i connect it to the docking station however, so it appears to be connected to pc hardware wise..
ive tried it on 2 diff pcs to rule that out, and its still the same.
is there a specific driver i need on the windows machine, or is active sync ALL i need..
like.. whats on the official xda cd u get with it? no drivers or anything ?
is it possible the xda/docking station are faulty ?
re;
If you have windows Xp, u dont need any driver. For windows 98 etc, you may need a driver wceusb or so on the original cd that came with your xda. if you dont have, ask a friend.
Do a soft reset, plug in the xda to the usb cradle or lead, wait for the new hardware found message, it should say "htc blah blah", if it is saying unknown hardware try a different usb port, if you are plugging the cable to a usb hub, try plugging it direct to the pc usb port.
hi there, i originally had it plugged into a usb2 PCI 4 port card....
this did not work, so i then plugged it straight into the usb socket that was on the motherboard, but this too made no difference....
what i intend to do now is go to o2 shop and explain it to them and see if they will sell me an xda to usb cable .. not a cradle.. so i can eliminate that from the problem....
it SHOULD all work however, as it was bought from a shop that re sells used phones. ratings of over 5000 on ebay! lol
even have support on 0800 number.. ill give them a ring on monday and see what they can do for me.
thanks for all ur help.

XDA1 / 2
Have had exactly the same problem with computer (XP) not recognising the xda2 cradle through usb or seriel. After many hours of pulling at my hair I have found due to me having a PDA connected a year ago through a similar process, that your system registry still holds the details and that one conflicts against the other. The only way I could connect was to re-format my hard drive (computer) and it then worked first time a bore I know but it's worth it! GOOD LUCK....
i think the cradle was faulty in my case. either way, it doesnt matter now, as the xda is dead... :/ 2 days old..
returned to place i got it.
XDA1 /2
Sorry to hear that. I think you've been very unfortunate, the XDA 2 is a superb bit of machinery. I change my mobile/pda every 6 month and I think this is the best model to date. I've had the Sony Erricson P800 + P900 - both great phones etc. but not as good. Go out and buy yourself another one fast - if you can find one that is!
too dear.. o2 were able to get me one as an upgrade to my contract phone, but it was £350
too dear..
on ebay they are like 450 2nd hand..
ill wait a while.
is it MUCH better than the xda1?#

Is possible use O2mini 2003SE Rom using in XDA2???

Is possible ???????
If you like to live dangerously.
Himalaya has different hardware.
It's like putting diesel in a gasoline car.
I haven't tried it (not the rom, nor the diesel) , but i STRONGELY advice against it.
how about putting the mini xda rom in xda IIs or pda2k???

The Mini has different device drivers that are not all compatible with XDA2. I suppose Mini is using different bootloader as well???
The worst case scenario is that you kill your XDA2 device and are unable to restore back to XDA2-based ROM. I will salute whoever's willing to sacrifice their XDA2 for such a potentially expensive experiment.

Try to install and take your pda to Local BB Supplier. He will try to configure the same.

[Q] can somebody help me?

hello people, I wanted to know if you could help me, I'll buy a second hand X10 with Android 2.1 and the problem is that the microUSB input does not work. recently i asked a guy who knows about this and he told me that if he returned to welding the entry it will only work with the charger and not the with the pc and then i will not update the phone or do the root or anything else.
what do you think?
P.D : sorry for my bad english
Hi there,
Maybe the USB cable is out of work,try a new one and test it,
If it doesn't work either probably your device USB input was harmed.
Sent from my X10 using XDA
