Hi, I have a HD2 that I am trying to get working connected to a computer again. The device will not connect to any computer when ActiveSync is selected whether it is connected to an XP machine with ActiveSync or a Windows 7 PC with Mobile Device Center. I have tried both the fast and slower options in the settings for activesync usb connections to no avail. The PC installs the drivers for the device when first connected but the device never shows up in the application.
Software Information on the device (it is unbranded):
OS: 5.2.21869
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
Radio: 2.07.51.22_2
Protocol: 15.32.50.07U
Ideally I would like to find some way to back up the device and start afresh with the latest ROM update with it but have little experience with windows mobile. I know you can do nandroids etc. on Android but not sure if there is an equivalent for WM6.5?
Have you tried to restart your PC?
Have you tried to restart your HD2?
For backup you can use Dotfred's PIM Backup, which stores your data on SD.
For upgrading to actual ROM can use SD card method. See this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477

I have tried this on multiple PCs, I have soft reset the HD2 and used different cables. I need to keep the device on official RUUs. I will look at PIM Backup thanks

Start\settings\other\usb to pc\ there uncheck Enable faster data synchronization
I sometimes have problems connecting to my PC. What I do then is, in the "USB to PC" I toggle "Enable advanced network functionality". I turn it on, save, take out the cable from my phone, enter it again, and see what happens. I no good, I toggle the setting to "off", and do the same process over again. Then it works (on XP SP3).

Hi guys
I made a backup of my ameo with sprite before my upgrade to wm6 (with rom 005TMO) and Internet Sharing wasnt working properly, so I made a new backup on wm6 so i can return to wm5. When i returned i thinked the 2 operating systems merged and im having a lot of problems. In the about of the phone it still says wm6. Internet sharing still doesnt work and i have errors on boot and incorrect shortcuts...
Is there a way to restore the sprite backup file like the rom was installed, so that nothing is running and everything can be restored perfectly
Thanks in advance
Even though sprite has a rom upgrade mode. You must follow specific instructions for the backup prior to upgrade and also during the restore....basically the rule of thumb is NEVER, EVER restore after a rom upgrade (even wm5 to wm5 or wm6 to wm6)
If you just need data and not apps in main memory, you can use sprite explorer to copy files from previous backups...but then again, more people have problems with this, then say it works good...
So Never, Never restore a backup from a previous rom version. You should just hard reset and reload the apps. The internet sharing is probably something on the pc side and not a problem on the PDA. I used internet sharing everyday on both wm5 and wm6..
What are you trying to use with internet sharing? Any chance your carrier, may block that? Usually, you just connect and eveything works..Especially if using Vista Ultimate.
Thanks for the reply... actually i paid to allow my pda to share it unlimited 3g connection with my computer so i dont think thats the problem, and im not even sure if its because of the wm6 as i havnt tried internet sharing for quite some time. Basically, im connected the ameo to the pc via usb and after it connects, i open the internet sharing app on the pda and press connect. It seems that the pda because the network adapter and for that connection, i get a DNS ip and default gateway ip through its DHCP but when i open the browser, nothing
As for the hard reset, how do u do that... i have all the cds
thanks
Just tried hard reset, strangely it went back as if i had just installed wm6 - i guess the real factory settings are gone forever, but im going to try internet sharing again, fingers crossed

Try bluetooth. Usb needs to be prepared before you use it. You need to swotch off syncing, before.
Ok, after the hard reset back to factory settings of wm6, Internet sharing works. I guess when i was trying to install Bluetooth DUN (for my tomtom) it messed it up.
Anyway thanks - and btw - Resco explorer TODAY is wicked
I have recently updated to WM6.1 for the startrek, and now i cant connect to activesync 4.5 on my Windows XP SP3 computer. I have googled and searched this site, and nothing works. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?
activesync
uninstall activesync from your pc,
make sure you delete any partnerships on your phone,
reinstall activesync and it should connect.

how do i delete all partnerships on my phone?
You need Activesync 4.5 for it to work on Windows Mobile 6, you can download it free from Microsoft.

Edit: Sorry, should have read the post more clearly.
ive uninstalled activesync 4.5, deleted the partnership off my phone, soft reset my device and my computer, re-installed activesync 4.5, and it still wont connect.
settings
Not sure what the problem is if that did not work, only other thing I can think of is to make sure you have the "allow usb connections" box checked in activesyncs connection settings.
p.s. to delete a partnership, you go to the activesync setting on the phone.
well, i even flashed my phone back to the cingular 3125 official rom and it still wont connect. oh well, i have figured out how to flash my phone without a usb connection (using my MicroSD card). so i guess that will work.
hi,
i flashed the ne salvy rom and now my activesync don`t connect anymore. it`s stuck and it says something about gathering settings. what can i do? i treid to uninstall and reinstal the driver in device manager but it won`t help. i also cant restore the pim backup. i use the 1.71 radio
edit : for some reason my firewall blocked some activesync connections. although i was able to install programms and browse files on the niki.

Hi
I've installed Opera 10 to my storage card on my HD2 and have noticed that after dis-connecting from my PC (as a disk drive) if I try to launch Opera 10, I get the following error message:
'Opera10-armv4i' is not a valid Pocket PC application.
I have to soft reset to get it running again.
I'm on the stock 1.48 ROM.
Any help would be appreciated.

That's what happens when your device doesn't have access to the storage card and you try and run software installed on it. I had the exact issue earlier tonight, but it was still plugged in at the time - I was being a numpty. As soon as I unplugged it I could run the app.
I take it this issue persists with you after you unplug then? Maybe your device isn't recognising that you've unplugged the cable.
If I try to run the application (Opera) when connected to the PC, its a different message:
The file 'Opera10-armv4i' cannot be opened..........
I've also tried installing directly to the device and get the same error.
That is strange then. A bit obvious, but have you googled the error message to see if it's a common Opera 10 problem?
Yes - tried to Google but nothing!
Well I'm sorry mate, but I can't help. I'm sure someone on here will have some good ideas.
Good luck getting it sorted!
Just replicated the same error on my spare stock 1.43 ROM HD2.
How are ppl installing this cab? Directly from the SD card on the phone or via PC / Activesync?
I'd imagine via a cab. That's where I originally did it from, but I uninstalled it way back. I didn't like the lack of pinch-to-zoom that was in the earlier version, so I just dumped it.
Maybe it's a general Opera issue. It would be interesting to see if any others who have Opera 10 could reproduce the problem.
Interestingly, just connected it to my Macbook as a disk drive and the error hasn't replicated.
Strange......
im getting the same error. DL'ed a fresh copy of Opera 10 Beta 3, removed old version, deleted registry keys and reinstalled onto storage card. Been having this problem for some time now. Strange thing is, I can play my music, navigate through my storage card, and even install the .cab from the storage card, but it doesnt seem to like running Opera anymore. It ran just fine until a few weeks ago.
I had also hooked up my phone to my PC as both a storage device and Active Sync.
I have the same problem.
Installed on HTC TP2 from cab on storage card and now there is an error.
same error
I have the same error. Where any of you able to fix it? if so how? thanks in advance.
I have the same problem! I can just soft reset to get it working again.
Any other good touch browser?
Thanks
I am getting exactly the same problem. I have uninstalled it, downloaded the cab again and installed (copied cab to SD and installed onto SD).
Edit:
After some more routing around it seems that if you connect via USB as a disk drive it causes the problem. A soft reset should solve it. Connecting through Active Sync does not cause this issue. I was copying some files across last night using **** drive access mode (something I rarely do), and I started to see the error message.
Soft reset cures it (I guess until you want to connect using disk drive access again!).
I think this mostly happens when we try to open opera from home screen short cut (on Sense, SPB MS etc.). I often face this issue and when I open it from start menu it works sometimes, otherwise I have to do a soft reset.
Thanks
I have raised this before but as yet no one has offered any explanation.
I have search forums but found nothing.
I am running a stock VF UK 1.72 rom on my HD2, which also has a sandisk 8gb card.
For various reason I have hard reset my phone several times since installing this rom.
The previous 1.66 VF UK rom gave me no problems when I hard reset the device.
The problem I have is that sometimes after a hard reset the phone does not recognising the storage card after I have connected the phone to a PC (windows XP) as a ‘Disk drive’ (connecting via active sync works fine) and then disconnected it via the standard remove hardware on the PC.
When I do this the phone does not reload the storage card, I need a soft reset to do this, however this is not consistent, some hard resets works fine others does not.
I now always test this after a reset & prior to reloading any software.
Also does not matter if I reset via active sync (run RUU…Exe on the pc) or hard reset on the phone.
The storage card gives me no other problems.
I would be grateful if any one throw any light on this, as sometimes to get a clean storage card pickup I need to hard reset 2 or 3 times, which is annoying.
