Hi all,
I just upgraded my xdaII from WM2003 to WM2003SE which seemed to work ok.
I then got the issue where the screen stops responding and worked out how to edit the config.txt file, ok I thought I'll just re-install SE.
So I dock my XDA into the cradle but it wont connect with active sync 4 anymore, which means I cant install the OS again.
Can anyone help me??
Cheers
Marff
nevermind, did a hard reset and the pda is working ok now, still doesnt want to connect to Activesync tho
when flashing you dont want it to connect to activesync anyway
best thing is to set activesync to not sync on usb devices let windows find the pda as a non as device and then flash
also if you change the extented rom as in config.txt and reflash you are likely to get a new extented rom and a new config.txt overwriting yours anyway
most of the time when you change extented rom a hardreset is what you want
Hi rudegar
I didnt get as far as reinstalling the OS with the modded config.txt, once I hard reset the pda after installing it the first time it worked ok, it installed the O2 extensions and worked fine, except MSN messenger wont work, where before it would.
i tried disabling what you said and windows wouldnt detect it at all.
With it enabled I could see it as a mobile device in my computer, but not access it.
Also the active sync window would not load, the taskbar icon is there, but when you click on it the window does not pop up, but you can get to the options
its annoying as I now cant install any programs onto the pda, I dont have a USB reader for the SD card at the moment.
not sure whats going on

I upgraded my rom to 2003 and now I cant write another rom to it. Everytime I run rom.exe it tells me the connection was forcibly shut down and to check my USB connection. But then I can turn around and sync it.
what up!!!!!!!!!!?????????
What is your ROM version?
Rom upgrade
It doesn't matter what Active Sync you are using. If you upgrade to 2003, you can't change to anything else by activesync. The easiest way is to use XDA Tools. Here is a link to someone who had the same problem. This thread helped me when I was in your situation. you can find the software and everything you need in this thread.[/url]
i dont think he want to go back to 2002 i think he just want
his 2003 to work with active sync

Yes that sounds about right, your only option now is to use the boot loader
method to up/downgrade your ROM. So if you don't have one already its time to get yourself a PC SD card reader.
BTW what ROM are you trying to up/downgrade to?

I installed 2005, and couldn't sych at all by AS4, everytime it tried to connect, i said looking for changes and then a protection fault, so I downgraded to wm2003se and active sych couldnt connect, I reinstalled AS 3.7 and then 3.8, but it can not run at all it just starts connecting, then stops and I can not show Activesynch window, it can not even explore the device
does anybody have a solution for this, or do I have to format and reinstall windows
yo medman
personally i think it was a bad mistake to upgrade to W2005. cause its still in the development phase and u wont find a lot of help from us users cause most of us are still waiting for a stable version to come out
looking at u'r situation
hard reset u'r PPC, do not connect u'r USB.....now install 3.8 MSYNC....... restrt u'r computer.....n then once rebooted......connect the USB cradle with u'r comp and put in u'r PPC...
it shld work now..
best of luck
sync problem...solved!
hey medman,
i don't see why every one is dissing wm2005, its a great rom!
but for the people who are having problems with connecting their device with wm2005 to ActiveSync 4.0 i figured out what is wrong:
if you connected your device to your computer before you installed the new
ActiveSync, it set your device with no driver, and even if you have the
ActiveSync driver now you computer allready recognised your device, so:
the solution is to delete the device setting under device manager of your
computer [start->control panel->system->hardware->device manager]
now with device manager open and with you ppc not connected:
go to the view tab and check "show hidden devices"
then look for the driver of the ppc most likely under the "Non-Plug and Play
Drivers" but if it is not there look around for the driver
when you find it, you went to delete it by right-clicking on the driver and
clicking uninstall
after you delete the old driver have ActiveSync running and place your ppc in the cradle, and the new driver should be installed by ActiveSync 4.0
if you need activesync 4.0 just tell me and i can give you my sight that i uploded as4.0 and wm2005 in a rar file, by the way...most answers are being found on this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18584&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
re:
To rooschool: I did what u suggested but same...
To Destroyer7337:
I didn't connect the ppc before the active sych, I raid this topic before I tried wm2005, I took all the precautions u mentioned, but to no avail, any way I downgraded to 2003se bu I cannot synch with all versions of activesynch
Driver?
What is the name of the driver? I can't find anything in non plug and play and I'm not sure what I'm looking for.

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

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.
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.

Hy to all!
I got a problem with activsync on my hero.I install activsync from my memory card , but i can't sycronise my phone, then i download the one from the web site and no succes. On my computer is comming out some message like wmisrsc.exe-no disk- there is no disk in the drive. Then i got the 3 option cancel, try again, and continue. I have been trying to go on application settings , development and to unmark usb debugging. Still the same...If i run the program activsync none of the icon is available. Is it wrong someting with my coputer? ( I use windows XP) . Thank you in advance
Soft Reset Required
Hi Carmen,
I had this problem too, I found that I had killed the task 'PC Sync' using a taskkiller... this cannot restart itselt without rebooting the device.
I don't know if this is exactly the problem you're having, but it is what I found with mine.
Give it a try... reboot your Hero and remember to not kill the task called 'PC Syncronisation'
Regards,
Dan
Am I missing something here? You are talking about Microsoft's activesync? It aint gonna work.
No is the one for android! Any sugesstions?
You mean HTC sync? In that case sorry no suggestions as mine works fine.
