Suddenly, by USB sync is gone. I can BT ActiveSync and serial, but no USB. I am sure it's something in software, because after hardreset it recognized via USB again.
Any ideas?
TIA
little help
:idea: I had the same problem twoweeks ago ,and I realized that from some strange reason one small application repllog.exe (located in windows directory) is not activated anymore. This aplication activates USB communication, and when you run this manually -active-sync will work. However I dont know how to fix this problem to run it automaticcaly, but -i don´t want it eather, because of I´m using connectionto internet through GPRS of my XDA2 (WModem+HTC USB modem driver+USB modem dialer) and automatic sync via ActiveSync makes collision in communication (blocking USB port)......
From M$ site:
PRB: ActiveSync May Stop Responding or May Not Connect After Many Soft Resets
SYMPTOMS
If you soft reset Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 for a Pocket PC device or for a Pocket PC Phone Edition many times, the device may stop responding when you synchronize with Microsoft ActiveSync through a serial cable or a USB cable. Infrared transfer speeds are not affected.
RESOLUTION
Hard reset your Pocket PC device. For more information about how to perform a hard reset, see your device documentation.
MORE INFORMATION
Restoring an ActiveSync backup may not resolve this problem if the backup was made when the problem existed.
To reproduce the problem, perform a soft reset several hundred times.
I've root it down this problem to notifications queue. Memmaid apprently killed repllog.exe, as mcmills correctly pointed out.
I also recently encountered this problem. I cannot, however, find repllog.exe.
I even usedthe search function but the file is just not there. I am an
experienced user and I do not remember deleting anything.
By the way, I'm using Windows 2000 SP2.
repllog.exe
For>ahro
this file is not in PC, but in XDAII, so you need to look there: XDAII_root\Windows\repllog.exe ....

Hi,
I am sure these questions have been asked a thousand times but I have searched for the last 30mins through the boards and cant find any.
I have been given an XDA which is locked to O2, I have a cradle with a USB connection. The software CD however is broken. I have plugged in the USB and allowed Windows to search for a driver for the new hardware (I have XP home) which it doesnt do. I have searched to download the software which is on the CD but I cant find any. Could anyone please advise me what my first steps are?? The XDA is on fine I just cant connect it to my laptop.
I have seen manyu ask about unlocking so Ill follow those examples.
Hope someone can help really want to get this XDA working.
You need to install Activesync...use google, or check the main pocket pc pages, 3.8 is released a few days ago.
No drivers are needed!
just download MS ActiveSync 3.8 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...21-8a85-45a2-8d13-653beb6cdddc&DisplayLang=en
Enjoy :wink:
Thanks for the help.
This may sound stupid but I have downloaded activesync and run the .exe file it copies the files then does nothing. It doesnt provide me with an application to start.
Anyone had the same problem?
It should appear on your programs menu on the desktop, try plugging in your xda to the usb and firing up activesync on the xda if it doesnt start automatically.
It shall ask you to connect your device to the cradle..
After installation, put your device in the cradle, and wait till the USB port detects the device...
You shall see the ActiveSync window after that. If not, then check your USB ports.
What version of Windows you have? WinXP?
I have Windows XP home.
Ok ill talk you through the steps I have done.
1. I downloaded activesync and ran it. Copied files but didnt produce an application.
2. Put XDA in the cradle and connected to my laptop through USB. Windows detects new hardware.
3. I have tried for Windows to look for the software but then it doesnt find anything.
I have also tried to open up active sync on the XDA whilst it is connected to my laptop, activesync opens fine on the xda but it doesnt fire anything up on the laptop.
ActiveSync 3.8 System Requirements:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/as-sysreq38.mspx
I don't think its a problem in your Windows!
try to install ActiveSync 3.7.1 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync37.mspx
If it didn't work, then double check the cradle's USB cable, maybe its not well connected to the PC or maybe its defected!
Otherwise, ActiveSync shall work like a charm!
Tried that too. Thanks for the help though.
I think its something to do with my operating system as the older version of activesync also doesnt provide an application to open.
delete the unrecognized PDA from the device manager, then plug it in again.
I've got ActiveSync 3.8 and I'm XP Pro SP2. XP does not see the XDA in the cradle. I've tried everything I can think of. Are you sure no driver is required? I read in the O2 help that you can plug the cradle into a hub but I've got a brand new motherboard that has several ports. I've tried all the ports but XP never sees the device.
Hi, in response to the questions above have you gotten the ActiveSync to open up at all? Also, when you plug in the cradle does Windows acknowledge the cradle connection or not?
Firewall ...
I had a similar problem and had a firewall running (not the Windows XP one). ActiveSync needs to connect to the PC through 127.0.0.1. If the firewall blocks that it can't see the device. It opens fine, says it's connected (in this case) but the phone registers no connection .... might be something to look at.
Prior to upgrading my Advantage X7500 to WM6 it synchronized with both WinXP and Vista w/o a problem. Since I upgraded to WM6 I've had virtually no success getting my X7500 to sync with either OS. Must be a setting I've got messed up or something. I'd welcome suggestions to resolve this.
Try to go on setting connection usbtopc and disable advanced network functionality and ok
Thanks -- I tried that but it had no effect. Even did a hard reset and was able to get it to sync to Win XP (very slowly) but when I restored my backup I'm stuck again with it sitting w/o syncing, or giving a synchronization error. Problem is there's no help when this happens -- just the troubleshooter but that doesn't find anything wrong.

stupid question perhaps but are you using the latest Activsync?
Wm6 doesn't work with A/S on older versions, though if you could sync very slowly this is unlikely to be the problem.
It could be that one of the programs you are attempting to re-install is incompatible with WM6, or that the backup file (if you are using software other than A/S to reinstall your data) is corrupted in some way, though I'm not techy enough to know the ins and outs of this
If you have all your data backed up somewhere and haven't tried this already then uninstall Activsync from your pc and then delete the activsync folder from your program list:this folder contains the windows mobile drivers and would otherwise remained regardless of A/S being uninstalled. It worked for me when I couldn't get my Hermes to sync - though I've had no problems with the Athena (touch wood!)
Also have you tried on a different PC?
Regards

Thanks for your detailed suggestions:
I've narrowed the issue down to syncing the calendar -- sometimes tasks and contacts sync -- the rest seem OK. I've searched MS forums and KB for the Support Code 86000107 that continually pops up when I try to sync in AS 4.5 -- to no avail.
Yes, I'm using Activesync 4.5 in WinXP and the WMDC (latest) in Vista -- I have the same problem in both. And I have tried AS 4.5 in another computer running XP -- same issue. What is bothersome is that I did not have this problem when I had the shipped WM5 version that came on the Athena, only since I upgraded the rom to WM6.
I ended up trying to hard reset and see if that would eliminate the problem -- it did improve the syncing (before I couldn't get it to sync anything, just sat there searching) but now I have this problem with the calendar (skips right over the contacts, calendar and tasks -- then syncs the other items).
I did a scanpst to find and repair any errors in my outlook file (there were some). I removed AS, deleted the AS folder as you suggested, reinstalled -- no change.
At this point I'm baffled -- obviously the phone is only marginally useful so I'm going to switch back to my Hermes for the moment. I just don't know where to look for possible solutions -- maybe when the "official" WM6 rom for the Athena is released on Wednesday, that will be different??? But, since my problem seems to be unique to me, I doubt it.
Thanks again -- I appreciate you help. Any more suggestions are certainly welcome.
It sounds as though maybe your outlook pst file is hosed. You might try...
Export your entire outlook data file to another pst file. Don't just move the pst file. make sure you export it (export file pick pst)
Delete everthing in your outlook data file on your pc and pda.
Sync your pda with an empty outlook file. If that works Then import your pst file from above to your pc and try to resync your PDA
sometimes this works when the pst file on the pc is somewhat corrupt...
Good Luck.
IS your tytn syncing ok with the same setup? Tytn wm6 or wm5?

That seemed to solve the problem -- apparently, all my pst files were corrupted, perhaps from having synchronized them among the various drives I have them stored on. Fixed one with scanpst, then followed your recommended steps and I now seem to have a new pst file that does synchronize with my Athena.
Thanks for your help. I "hope" my problem is solved!!
BTW -- found that my Hermes would not sync either -- that confirmed the suspicion of the desktop pst file being corrupted.

I have a x7500 bought off ebay but cannot activesync
I have a x7500 I bought off ebay but cannot activesync I have tried both usb and bluetooth but no luck. with USB the computer does not even see the device only charges it. with bluetooh I can ftp files and send notes,and contact info, but when I tried to bluetooth activesync the x7500 does not see the partnership, also when I go the bluetooth configurations on the computer to quick connect on bluetooth serial ports and select the x7500 it says the device does not support it.
I have tried changing the usb-pc off and on and no difference. I have even installed the usbsettings.exe and nothing also. I also have hard reset the device nothing is working. Any Ideas.
computers are xp (all threee of them) and the device is WM6
ROM AP TOUCH 3.0
James
Scanpst is completely hidden in Office 2007 and very hard to locate in Vista. Once I did find it and ran it, it appears to have cleaned up a lot of problems. It does no good for WMDC to tell you it has found an error as there is not even a hint as to where the problem lies. It just goes ahead and replaces all the files on your device with the ones on the computer (or vice-versa depending on your settings). I'm hoping this fix of about 134 problems in my pst file will keep things going for a while.

I am having the same problem with my work computer (XP). Everything syncs fine on my home computer (Vista). I upgraded my rom to DCD 2.2.1 ROM, and I keep getting the 86000107 error.
At work, we are using Outlook 2003/Exchange. I've created new profiles, uninstalled/reinstalled AS 4.5 countless times. I closed out the exisitng PST file..
I am stumped.
I'm trying it on a new computer tomorrow to identify where the problem lies. Anyone have any thoughts?
Similar problem solved
I had the same problem and went through many steps like those posted in this forum. I'm going to show my steps to solve this problem without hard reset your phone.
1) When the phone is connected, at the phone ActiveSync setting delete the PC profile.
2) Unplug the phone from the PC.
3) Uninstall and then reinstall the ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Center.
4) At phone system setting -> About -> make sure there is a name ID. Without this the PC cannot identify the phone and thus cannot sync.
5) Set the USBtoPC with 'advance network..." enabled.
6) To the extreme, before step 3, go to PC windows\inf and remove infcache.1 (need to add in an administrators account and set the privilage to full control). That may remove old corrupted drivers.
i let my almost-future son-in-law take home and play with my g4 wizard love wm6 cingular branded wizard.
he mailed it back to me and now it won't connect to activesync 4.5.
if i uncheck advanced settings on the usb settings page, the computer gives me the usb balloons that says it is connected to the computer.
activesync doesn't even want to look for the pda.
if i check the box, activesync tries to find the pda but fails.
also, the computer doesn't seem to connect to the computer since there are no usb balloons.
is there anything i can try short of reinstalling wizard love.
thanks
Plug it into the usb wire, turn it on and then do a hard reset do not unplug it till active sync pops up on your computer.

You havent mentioned what OS you have on your pc. If you have XP SP2 you can sometimes jumpstart activesync 4.5 by restarting the DHCP.
Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools (only visible in classic view of control panel) -> Services -> DHCP client -> Restart

Same problem with me too..
all the sudden the activesync service in WM6 doesnt start at all..
ActiveSync on PC warns me there is a problem with the connection..
Is there anybody out there that knows how to get the ActiveSync service back and running again.? I tried the the taskmanager to look for the service itself. But found out that the activeSync service is nowhere to be found between the other services. 16 other services are found.
I tired it on Vista (Mobile 6.1) and Windows XP SP2 (Activesync 4.5)
It does not help when i start the program ActciveSync (application) in WM6.

I had the same problem one time after flashing to WM6. How I got it to work was to delete the old mobile device from my active sync, then connect the usb cable.
i've tried all the hints here but so far no connectivity to activesync.
did anyone get the pda seen by winxpsp2 any other way that worked.
i can get into boot loader but still no connection ro activesync.
thanks
Hi
in the begining , sorry for my poor langague
first point u should have active synchronize virgin 4.5 not earlier
second point delete the old connection from the programe.then make a new connection between ur device & pc. it will work properly (in shaa allah)
try it & let me know

i uninstalled activesync and then rebooted, downloaded a new copy and reinstalled it.
the computer sees the pda through the rndis driver and says it's installed.
at the end of the install i got some kind of message about outlook not being the default email reader but i ignored it.
then i ran the basic outlook setup but did not make outlook the default mail client.
but active sync still refuses to connect to the computer to the pda.
any other thoughts.
later tonight or during the week i will try it on another xp computer and then a vista computer to see if one of them works.
Hey lissen folks.... any luck on finding the solution.... were u guys able to run the AS4.5 after removing the device? If yes, how do you remove the devioce?
I know its a problem with PC because i tried it on other PC with Win2000 and it worked fine. ANything to do with firewall perhaps?
Hi Guys, I just took my old XDA2 out of retirement (it died as I broke the sim card reader) And decided I want to use it as an about the house Internet Browser and possibly media player.
I know what software to put on it to make it do what I want but I'm stuck with getting it to to connect to the net
I have tried several ROM's (I hate the official o2 rom just because of all the crap) I like the WM6 ROM as it is the latest software But when I put it back into my cradle it comes up unrecognised and wont sync with active sync.
I cant get it to sync over bluetooth either? I can pair it with my PC via bluetooth but cant synch it. As I have windows Vista I am trying to sync with windows mobile device centre and still no joy. personally i dont care f it does sync but I'm sure I need it to so that i can browse the internet on my xda????
Now I'm stuck... do I flash it with an older ROM in the hope it will start to sync with one of my 2 PC's (It really needs to work with the vista PC)
Or is there another way I can set this up regardless of the rom so I can have some kind of local bluetooth network where I can access the net and my PC via the XDA2?
I would prefer the latter as I can Use the newer WM6 ROM.
my xda2 sync just fine over bluetooth
i set the xda2 in descoverymode and add it from vista bluetooth setup
and the xda2 see the vista pc and let me add it and then
in activesync on the xda2 i pick sync over bluetooth
otherwise you can take a look at this
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=InternetOverBluetoothNetwork
I have a lot of problems with sync over bluetooth, but my reason is really simple, I turn off microsoft firewall on my PC with WinXP and It is work fine..I can be on net and icq...
Internet over activesync???
Hi, is there a way to connect my xda to internet over activesync?
unless you have disabled it on the pc or on the pocketpc
your pda is always connected to the same network internet and otherwise when
connected to activesync
can u teach me how? after disabling connection from the pc, wat will i do nxt?
"can u teach me how? after disabling connection from the pc, wat will i do nxt?"
hhmmm at no point did i tell you to disable connection from the pc.....
settings->connections->connections->advanced->select networks
there are some texts showing "programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using"
and a dropdownbox
select the dropdownbox item which is not called something like "my isp"
but pick the one thats called something like "my network"
then all programs trying to access the internet will be forced to use activesync as internet connection and if activesync is not connected they will fail!
Ei man, kinda misunderstood it. sorry. I'll try it later. BTW, u know how to upgrade wm2003se to wm5 or wm6? can u teach me step by step how to's? or possibly know a clear steps by steps procedure threads?
this is a copyPaste directly from the file in all the roms called READMEFIRST.txt
"Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:
DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton
After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.
. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.
Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".
Run HimaUpgradeUt.exe (or HimaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe if flashing on any Himalaya other which is from than O2)
Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.
Detach your device from the cradle.
Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES"
Ei man, thnx, ur advice work with activesync.
Now having prob. with upgrading stuff. cant find any ROM, can u suggest one? is wm2005 1.50 ok??? bTW, i have 02 xda II with wm2003se.
Ei myt, got a question.. u know where can i find the .exe file for on/off button???
Hi, when i´m trying to connect my hd2, there appears the error usb port code 43.
dunno what i should do, the only thing i didn´t try yet was hard reset. All other things didn´t help.
I use standard usb 2.0 with windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
things like new drivers, soft reset, spb backup didn´t help.
on my hd2 i have installed spb ms, standard o2 rom, framework ms 3.7 now. i tried to connect without the sd-card, nothing!!!
i can´t use the sd-card without the hd2. My pc doesn´t find it, but my hd2 does and i can use it on my ppc.
looking forward to your help

First try to remove the device from your hardware manager.
I do not know about Windows 7, but in Xp/Vista:
log on as administrator, right-click "my computer">manage then select Device manager.
In XP you will first heve to set a system variable to let you see hidden devices in order to be able to remove them.
(read this article)
Then try reconnecting the device.
Try to insert your USB plug fast and surely (most of these error are cause by slow insertion of USB plugs. Init of the device then can get interupted, resulting in faulty drivers/harware recognition)
thx a lot...but sry it doesn´t help. my windows still does not finding my hd2 and the sd card in it! I really often tried it with ghostbuster, but after rebooting when i´m trying I can find my divice ghosted in ghostbusters list
1)Do you have windows mobile device center installed?
2)Have you tried another USB cable?
3)Do you get this error with any other USB device?
4)Can you connect your HD2 to another computer?
the last thing i need to do is to try another usb cable
