Hello all, I'm new to the forums, though they have been a great help already.
However, the following problem I can't seem to get fixed:
I have a Wallaby that used to be a german T-mobile MDA. When I got it a few days ago, Activesync would not recognise it even though it recognises my MDA Compact, my SPV C500 and my Toshiba e330 without problems.
I noticed that Windows recognises it as an USB device, for which it tries to find drivers (and fails, obviously).
No matter, thought I, as I want a new english ROM anyway.
I cooked a new ROM based on 4.01.12 and flashed it onto the Wallaby via SD-card without any trouble, it's running like a charm.
However, the same problem still occurs with activesync.
Though it recognises each and every other device i throw at it, the Wallaby doesn't register. Searching for it doesn't help, I've changed the baud rates to no avail...I'm getting a bit frustrated by now.
I'm using Activesync 3.8 as 4.0 doesn't seem to have any advantages for my PPC2003(SE) PDAs.
Any help would be appreciated.
with regards,
As
ADDENDUM:
I've disassembled the cradle, which left me with a mini-usb cable.
My MDA Compact synchronises just fine through that cable.
After reassembly, the Wallaby is still only recognised as an unknown USB-device.
Am I correct in assuming that there are now only two options left:
1: the circuitry in the cradle is somehow broken
2: the Wallaby itself is somehow kaputt in regards to activesync (though charging is not a problem).

Hi all,
I have 2 SX-56 (AT&T Wireless - USA) that suffer from the following. I upgraded one of SX-56's from WM2002 (big mistake so far as everything worked perfectly until the upgrade) to WM2003. After the upgrade the battery ran down and would not charge. I tried soft and hard resets with no avail. Thinking it may be a problem with the battery I upgraded my second SX-56 to WM2003 (again big mistake as it worked perfectly until the upgrade). Same problem with the battery. I have read where freezing the battery may help and I will try that later tonight. Did anyone else have this problem during the upgrade? Could there be an issue with the ROM Version? My WM2003 came from Siemens when they had it posted on their Website. Should or can I go back to an older ROM? I have tried the Special ROM from xda-developers. It installed perfectly and works great as long as it is plugged into power. However the battery issue still exists on both units. Any enlightenment would be greatly appreciated!!
If wm2003 displays the same behavior on both phones I would be inclined to reflash with 2002 and see if it cures the problem.
I posted this as Guest but now have a "real" ID.
Thanks Cruisin...I tried freezing the battery but no luck. I did Flash with the SPECIAL ROM from XDA-DEV but the issue still exists. Is the XDA-DEV Rom 2002 or 2003? If it's 2003 I will go cook one with 2002 and see if that helps.
Special Rom is based on PPC2002

Thank Lumpi...guess the batteries on both units are really dead!!
your batteries are still good!
me also
i also upgraded my siemens sx 56 to wm 2003 but after upgradation it is not recharging the battery (main) that is no orange light turns on when i put it into the cradle and turn on the switch , i can not switch back to wm2002 as the setup says the charger has to be plugged in but the sx 56 is not detecting charging , all things were fine when there was wm 2002 man help help help help me what should i do ?
I just tried WM2003SE upgrade, but after erasing message, it just gave connection 101 error!
i tried, hard reset, soft, etc, but no lock it just says:
Serial
v 1.01
if i put it in the cradle, it will show "USB" instead of "Serial",
is this dead? i just bought it and like a hero, tried upgrading
It's not dead.
Put it in the cradle and try the upgrade again.
Don't forget to connect the power charger to the cradle for in case the battry is drained during upgrade.
Regards,
Mark
and if that doenst work try to upgrade it on another pc with active sync
Finally, my advice starts to stick!! :lol:
Have you done lots of upgrading on that particular PC? If so, then it's definitely worth trying a diff PC.

It Worked!
Hi, thanks everyone for your replies, i managed to get it working today on a another PC, looks like its time for me to get another laptop, this one is dying.
It worked sometimes, then cuts off in the middle, then stops working, i tried it all night yesterday, though i lost it all, only had about 2 hours sleep because of that but i tried today on another pc, and it worked the first time.
Probably onboard usb is faulty (although it works with my cable modem, external dvd-rw, etc), but it seems to me, the update/upgrade program needs error-free connection and mine might be ill.
anyway, i downloaded the rom from o2 xda website and updated to that(wanted to upgrade to WM2003SE before it went in coma), i cant afford another crisis , i like my xda 2 too much! :wink:
Thanks for your replies, appreciate it 8)
I don't think it's anything wrong with the hardware. My advice would be to ensure you backup any backup files then uninstall ActiveSync, before removing all registry and folder references to it. Then, reinstall and then see how things go from then on. Glad it's working though now!
Cheers

Backups
Yup, i've done a backup of the ROM and also the Extended Rom, don't know how to backup or where the Radio Stack is, so i'm assuming its in the main Rom.
The reason i think its the hardware fault is because things like cable modem, dvd rewriters, etc work beneath the drivers, and they do all checksums and checking, with Him upgrade program, it uses ActiveSync APIs, so any hic cups in activesync would be passed down to him upgrade, if activesync did proper data checking and resend data (or might be that the bootloader is limited so it might be limited on what it can do) then the errors could be rectified.
These are all my assumptions. thinking out loud.. etc
I tried reinstalling activesync, etc also created new admin user, tried safe mode with networking (without networking gives TCP/IP error message).
All failed.
i wanted to fix it yesterday night with this laptop, and didnt have access to any other computer, so ended up staying up til late and trying all possibilities, but all failed so i gave up and waited for the next day. came back from work and then tried it on another computer and it went smoothly.
Also tried resetting the xda2 many times, taking the battery out, soft hard cold hot yellow green, tried all, but no luck. :roll:
So i assumed it was a hardware fault, or XP sp2 fault (the other one is a desktop with win2k).
anyway i'll be formatting this xp sp2 soon and putting windows 2k, seems more stable, trying to get maximum mileage out of this laptop.
thanks for the tip though.
Hi folks, I just got a TyTN unit and i am trying to sync it with my laptop and then upgrade it to Win 6....but the unit doesn't show up on my laptop....i have looked in device manager and its not there either....it charges through the cable OK but nothing comes up in activesync....
does anybody have any ideas or can i upgrade the unit through the memory card?
I am running XP service pack 3
thanks guys
taistealai
ok
i managed to upgrade to version 6 but it still doesn't show up in active sink!!!
anybody have any help here?
same thing happens with me I am also confused about it
im having a problem in which my touch pro will not sync or be recognized by ANY type of usb connection (ie, advanced network functionallity unchecked, disk drive mode) it syncs via bluetooth just fine, and when connected to the computer via usb the dialog box asking which type of connection still pops up and it still charges, but no type of connection will go through, i have tried everything except for a hard reset which is what im really avoiding because i have it finally running exactly how i wanted (complete with manila 2.1 on wm6.1 htc 2.01 rom which took me an hour to get working exactly how i wanted), any suggestions, im going crazy here

from where i sit, it sounds like u've spent more time fussing with the no-usb problem more than the hour it'd take to "setup" your phone lol.
can you provide any more info? when did it start happening? have you tried from a couple different computers? cables? please give as much information as you have on the entire subject so we dont have to "drag it out of you" as you are the one requesting assistance dont make us do all the work
I have been having same issue with my Touch Pro. It was working great a few weeks ago...then it just stopped...my pc can't sync or recognized the device. I have been doing extensive reading on so many posts...but nothing seems to work. I finally gave up and a did a hard reset last week...guess what? It still did not work. I suspect it might be a hardware failure. Here is what i did and it was unsuccessful:
Install and then uninstall WMD...nothing, bought new OEM data cables (2 to a pack)...nothing, unchecked the advance network functionaility...nothing, someone recommend to swipe the connection inside the phone for possible dust...nothing, tried on my laptop, desktop PC, work PC and my UMPC (all worked before)...nothing, i tried different usb ports on ALL pcs...nothing, started up ICS and connect (supposedly it will install drivers needed)...nothing.
I also notice that some of the chargers I had for it-also stopped working. Only OEM chargers work now.
Also, there are MANY people complaining about this problem as well...
so I use this program, WIFI Remote Access v1 beta 4, freeware to add apps or make changes via wifi. Works great.

Wish I could find a "fix" for this issue...I can't sent it to Sprint or have a warranty since I flashed it over to Metro PCS...like I said it was working for the past 5 months or so...

well probably last weekend it started happening in which WMDC would just drop the connection and wouldnt reconnect until i rebooted the PC and yesterday morning it also wouldnt connect till i rebooted the pc then it synced and added songs just fine, then i went to school and sat down on one of the computers there and worked on a paper i had to do, this was the last time it worked at all, i got back home and when i connected it to the PC no connections accepted at all, ive rebotted and soft resetted about several times to no avail.
**UPDATE**
i just bit the bullet and did a hard reset and guess what?...........still not working so im resyncing everything through bluetooth and soon will reinstall manilla2.1, after this i will be going to sprint tech support, maybe i can have it exchanged for a TP2
well so yesterday i went up to the sprint store, explained my situation to them and said that ive even done hard resets, they guy had me turn in my phone to him and said that the repair would only take 45mins well 70 passed before i saw my phone again and when i got it back they told me that the reason it wouldnt sync is due to all the 3rd party programs i had installed (only 3rd party program was spb pocket plus) all other installed programs were made by microsoft,sprint and htc. so they did a hard reset and told me it synced their computer fine and that it may be a problem with my computer so got home and it STILL DID NOT WORK!! i even plugged in my axim x51v and it synced without problems,i cant believe i wasted 5 hours of my time and pay an extra $7 for such unprofessional service. they didnt even offer me a new USB cable.
Hey eric,
I have been to other sites and there other members experiencing the same thing. This is the first time hearing it was a 3rd party app...you know it isn't an app if you do a hard reset, which I DID...and it still my pc doesn't recognize it. In my case, it was working great one day...and the next day- it just stopped working.
Now my wif also went haywire. And a hard reset didn't fix that either...
I will be getting the Touch Pro2 soon. I never experience any issues when I had the HTC Mogul...my HTC Pro...well I love it...but i can't deal with the hardware issues...I just replaced my keyboard not to long ago.
Sorry to hear Sprint gave you the run around...
edit: I read somewhere in another post...that sometimes the wifi wire can get unplugged after installing a new keyboard...I opened it up and found the wifi wire (on the back side) plugged in the wrong connector. I must have unplugged it accidentally and then plugged in on the wrong connector. Found the error...now wifi works great.
I've began to have the same issues as well. Last week I flashed vet's ROM and thats when it died. I tried hard resets and other ROMS and its still the same thing so I dont believe it was vet's ROM but more of a hardware issue.
I have no activesync functionality, no flash ability over USB, but charging and disk drive work fine.

I never had this issue. Only internet stops working with the weather updates and skyfire, Im on metro, I just reflash the cab for the internet and that fixes that. But did anyone else try flashing a new rom like hemirunner426 did? Could be worth a shot to get it working. Sounds like urs is F'ed dood sorry.
well I bought a new usb cable from ebay for only $3.xx and since it arrived my usb functionality was restored.
Its usually a problem with the usb cord. I had this same problem before. Just go to the sprint store and they will exchange the cord for free, they also redesigned the cord do it doesnt keep breaking.

I also bought the OEM data cable for the TP....no cigar...still doesn't work. Happy to hear you got yours working.
Like the title says...I just got a Lumia 800 from Nokia and after spending 2 days trying to get the damn thing to boot, I finally have it up and running but now I can't get any of the developer tools to connect to it. Zune is the latest version and recognizes and sync's with the phone perfectly...however nothing else will connect to the phone, WPConnect.exe, PhoneReg.exe, Tom's XAP Installer, VS2010, nothing. I have rebooted both my PC and Phone countless times, plugged, unplugged, tried different ports, turned off wifi, date-time settings etc.....all to no avail. I was really excited to get this phone but it has been nothing but problems, really making me hate WP7 and Nokia.
Can anyone please provide me with some help?
I have no idea why but reseting the phone and trying again worked...the phone is brand new I had not changed a thing....so stupid.
p.s.
These developer gift nokias...not dev unlocked...
