First things to check are that you have your device connected via the USB cradle plugged directly into a USB port on your PC. Do not use a USB hub. Also make sure that the power supply is plugged into the cradle.
Still no luck, now I am trying to revitalize an old notebook: reinstallink windows 98, outlook 98 activesync and so on (burning all the software on a CD...what a pain).
and
yes now it seems working......Stage 2 at the moment.
Very strange , never had any problem with USB on my desktop so far...
Please help! I have a Softbank HTC Tytn and just came across this amazing forum today. I'm a techno-literate person so this is even more frustrating... I simply cannot get Activesync (or my laptop for that matter) to recognize my Tytn...
When connected via USB it appears under Network Adaptors in my Device Manager as "Windows Mobile-based Device #3" and has the ! because it has no drivers.
I'm using Activesync 4.2 worldwide English version downloaded from the Microsoft site.
Please help me, I became very excited at the prospect of unlocking this awesome phone but then was crushed to find I couldn't even begin the first step!
I have the USB cable plugged directly into the laptop, not via a passthru like a hub, and I have tried it in multiple ports without success.
Save me guys, please!
Perhaps my problem is that I don't have a driver for the device that allows Windows XP to recognize it?
Could someone please post a link, or the file itself, of the driver you use for your HTC?
You should not need any special drivers just for activesync or usb-serial connections to the device.
Drivers are only needed if you want to use it as a modem.
then has anyone else had this problem? do you have any suggestions pof? this is driving me nuts...

Disable activesync if it is connected, put the device in bootloader mode and try to connect to it using mtty. If you get the "USB>" prompt you can do everything, you don't need activesync at all for unlocking or flashing roms, everything can be started with the device in bootloader mode.
if it sheds any light on the problem, when i plug it in instead of the usual "do-doo" rising intonation sound you get with a successful USB interface, i get a "duhduhduh" meaning it's connected, but not recognized...
ok i'll try that, sorry i wasn't aware that getting activesync to work wasn't a prerequisite for the other steps
i've never felt so stupid
i've downloaded mtty, and read and reread the wiki
my hermes is in bootloader mode, and mtty connects on port 3 but i don't get a USB> prompt, i just get a window named "COM3 115200 N-8-1" and a nice empty white space
i have no idea what to do now
i was planning on following this seemingly effortless writeup/summary by okinz:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280566&page=9
but now i've got nothing.
i'm really sorry to bother you, but please don't give up on me!
i cannot make a connection using USB with mtty btw... forgot to include that
1) dumb question: did you select "USB" on mtty drop down list?
2) Do you have another computer where you can try?
3) Which windows version are you using?

1) yes, no connection
2) i just tried just plugging in the Tytn on my roommate's laptop, he got a different usb message, windows recognized it as a "Generic NDIS device" but failed to install it for lack of driver, is this what is supposed to happen? mine doesn't do this at all
3) windows XP SP2
update - just rebooted for about the 10th time and this time it recognized it as an NDIS and activesync has found it
i guess it was just a windows thing... *shrugs* i'll post again once i've tried the next steps
thank you pof, thank you very very much for sticking with me

Hi there,
I upgraded to WM5 but wanted to downgrade to WM2003. But halfways the downgrade the PDA hung. The only thing I can see in the screen is Serial at the top and v1.06 at the bottom. When I put the PDA in the cradle, Serial changes into USB. When I try to install firmware from a ROM, after a while I get an Error 101: Connection Error. I think that in some way the connection cannot be esthablished between cradle (PDA) and the computer.
Trying a soft or a hard reset doesn''t seem to do anything.
Can anyone help?
MDA II
i have the same problem. it keeps on giving me a connection error. please can some one help.
the same problem with SPV M1000. anyone have the solution?
do a hard reset guyz by this method
HOLD DOWN UR POWER BUTTON+RESET (pin at bottom)..u will see 1.06 or what ever ur bootloader version is at bottom and at top u will see SERIAL..when u connect it to USB it will change to USB....and VOILA !!!
Happy Flashing
Same Problem
Did as you said and my computer doen't pick up the connection through the cradle. HELPPPPPPPP!!!!!!
prob
HERE already tried to hardreset and then trying flashing
but can't sucess
The same problem..
we are on the same trouble...
until now, there's no way to resolve this problem,
the lucky if we can connect to PC,
i think its the connector problem,
maybe using a new sync cable rather then the cradle then
the cradle was always hit or miss for me
but i still had my wallaby cradle which always worked

I have tried about 3 different cables and the cradle one.
and so tried to 3 different PC's to connect and got same error
btw, thanks...
From what I've seen so far problems can be caused by:
1. A firewall needs configuring or temporary disabling.
2. The usb connection shouldn't be through a hub but straight to the usb on the motherboard.
3. Dubious connection to the cradle.

Hello,
I tried to upgrade my SPV M1000 to WM5. I followed the procedure and ran the device in bootloader mode. I put the device on the cradle and it displayed USB and V1.06. Ok sounded good.
I started then the HimaUpgradeUt.exe program on the PC. The problem is HimaUpgradeUt.exe didn't find the mobile device at all. After maybe 1 minute looking to it displayed an error 101 message.
I tried different things : install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5 (no change)
I tried to connect the device with mty and it worked !
I tried to run HimaUpgradeUt.exe with the SPV running WM2003 and it found the device. I didn't try to upgrade in this mode anyway.
Any help is very welcome.
is your machine with win vista also?
as you said that you tryed to install ActiveSync 3.8, 4.2, 4.5, guess its WinXP. if its 2000/WinXP/win2003 then use only 4.2 version of ActiveSync. don't know why but i can only have sucess with that version. check for any security software that may block COM. with ActiveSync-Pocketpc.
that HimaUpgradeUt.exe you use is for your model? as im not an expert on this matter, don't know if your precise phone is a himalaya, maybe thats the prob. ehehhe then maybe not as im not aware of all the brands this peace of tech can became!
do right click on my computer and select manage, goto device manager and see for a mobile entry there, while your pocket is connected in serial/usb boot mode. there must be a windows ce device there for this to happen, and you should, not a must, but try to shut activesynch down while doing this detection with HimaUpgradeUt
Yes I'm running Windows XP Pro SP2. I installed activesync 4.2 again and disabled the firewall. I can see windows detecting the device when I put it on the cradle. But there is still the 101 error message when I try to run the update.
Vista and upgrade
Firstly thanks to marcjero for guiding me to this thread...
secondly... I had no probs at all, syncing my device with vista's WMDC(Windows mobile device center), apparently I tried to flash my device... and yes its an i-mate XDA II, currently running on C_ShekharAKU3.5.R40.P24_public_ROM and want to update to the latest one... apparently, connected my device to my system in bootloader mode... and well since then my system has a prob detecting my device... and I cannot even sync now... when i try to run HimaUpgrade, get the same 101 error code... :-(
any ideas how to get this thing working again?
PS: its seriously frustrating for me
use the "HimaUpgradeUt_noID.exe " instead the "HimaUpgradeUt.exe"
download it HERE!
install the latest Active Sync...version 4.5
Syncing in Vista is no problem but as i said from other thread...i tried but not working...you cannot flash the device except in winxp...
Regards!

Hi.
I am a bit embarrassed about writing this, I never thought I would make a brick of my Prophet during “upgrades”...
But here I am, with a phone that don't want to sync with any computer after I accidentally pressed cancel on an active sync dialog box asking for setup with a new device, during upgrade to the latest Touch VIII. Have upgraded several times with several different ROM’s before, but this time things went wrong.
If I choose to start my device normally, it goes trough the HTC screen and stops after the Qtek (HTC in Norway) screen listing the different versions of the hardware…
When I restart to boot loader (Cam button + reset) the 3 colours turn up ok, but when I put an USB cable in the device and the lower, left part of the screen shows USB, active sync will not recognise any new device no matter what I do.
I can still find the Prophet when I go to properties on the computer, but somehow active sync does not care about that.
Are there any way to use a program at the host computer to sync properly with the Prophet?
I would really appreciate any help that could rectify this problem.
Regards, Lars Norway
I believe the " WM6 Upgrade Guide" thread has the info you needed.

Tried the info there without success...
The guide assumes that you have connection with ActiveSync, but I can not seem to get connection.
So, I really need some advice about how to make a connection to the computer I will make the programming from, when ActiveSync is not working properly.
Have tried to restart both the device and the host computer, have reinstalled ActiveSync, have tried to start the different roms without having a connection to A.S., but no luck...
Have realized my mistake and bought a new Prophet, but would still like to get the old one working again.
it has nothing to do with activesync.
Not sure u really understand the below statement from the thread I mentioned.
RECOVERING FROM ERROR IN STEP 8 WM5->WM6
1. Don't panic
2. Don't panic
3. Unplug the phone
4. Reset with stylus,and keep the Camera Button pressed.
5. A 3 color screen will appear(Bootloader Screen)
6. Connect your device with your PC,and run the NVID(no vendor) WM5 rom.
7. The device will be resetted after RUU(rom update utility)finishes
8. Repeat the WM6 upgrade,from STEP 5..
in case you can't NVID roms, you can still use those step1 roms mentioned by ROM gurus here.

Well, the problem is that I am not able to connect...
As far as I understand, the only way to connect is by using ActiveSync?
Regards
connect = the cable between prophet and your pc. after that just run the rom update utility. just dun bother the activesync (does it sound logical to u to establish activesync in bootloader mode?)
OK, I have tried it, but will try on some different computers also.
Posting in a couple of hours.
Thanks for your help so far!
then wish u good luck. happy un-bricking.
OK, same as before.
Depending on which ROM I try, the following messages are the result:
Error [300]: Invalid update tool.
Error [274]: Connection (The update utillity cannot connect to your PDA phone.)
If I try the Touch VIII direct, it stops in Initializing for a while, and then a message appears with the text: Cannot connect to device, Would I like to try again?
Besides, in the welcome screen during the "ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe" in the Prophet_PV_Temp program, step nr. 2. asks me to ""Establish an ActiceSync connection with your PDA phone."
So, no change from yesterday yet...
are you using windows vistA???
Have only been using computer with XP Pro installed.
Anybody of the opinion that the connection tools built into Vista might do a better job?

No, on the contrary. The best change you have is XP. Zeroed asked about Vista because it could be the reason of your troubles.
What I should do is just one detail different of what you have already tried:
Put the prophet in bootloader.
DISable "allow USB conection" in the conection-setting panel of ActiveSync
Connect your prophet with the USB cable
Run the NVID RUU again
If that is succesfull, you can upgrade to the WM6 ROM you like.
OK, will do.
Tried Vista just now, same errors and no luck.
Be posting in a minute...
OK, now I'm back.
Made a restart of the host computer, changed settings in ActiveSync, startet my device in Bootloader...
But unfortunately, no more success this time either.
Feel that the device must be more seriously defective/broken than others, this mishap happend at the end of the programming, when the 3 partitions were being written in the device. I was loading Touch VIII...
Anybody know if there is any more combination of buttons or reset methodes I could try?
Next step is to start opening the Prophet...

Just wondering if your computer detects prophet as a device at all? Does the normal plug device sound comes on when you plug in? Just a long shot, stick in a SD card and try with windows media player to see if it can sync or put files onto SD card. if so, get rom refreshed via SD card...
try few hard resets before you try this.
Not quite sure I understood what you suggested. I can get the device up in the host computers machine properties, but there is no way to get it up in any other program - like the Windows explorer.
Or are you saying that there is a way to boot the Prophet directly from a SD card? That would impress me!!!

This sounds dumb, but try restarting your PC, closing all apps running in background (including firewalls), restarting Prophet (with stylus in reset hole). DO NOT TRY TO USE ACTIVE SYNC. Boot into bootloader (Three colours screen), connect USB cable and flash QTEK lastest official, or Jesterz AKU 3.3 (I have found this ROM to have magical powers of unbricking.)
Good luck!

Hmm this is wierd.I ran into problem earlier this month trying to flash a ROM but got stuck somewhere. So I followed the steps given in the sticky thread. Everything work smoothly. I am using XP SP2 and mine is a G3.
Let's make the assumption that your PDA is not faulty. Maybe you can try the steps again but this time :-
1. Change to another USB cable (or you may test the existing cable by connecting to a working pda)
2. Change to another USB port
3. Make sure you are not running any program that hogs the USB resource
4. If you are using USB hub, please don't connect using it. Make a direct connection to your computer.
that's all I can offer now...hope it helps.
