losing active sync connection just before updating

Newbie loses always the active sync connection just before updating its hermes from WM5 (OS 5.1.195 Build 14955.2.3.0) to the new WM6 (ENG Vers.). It's a MDA Vario II from T Mobile Germany (SIM unlocked!) and I have no clue what I am doing wrong - As soon as the progress bar starts to indicate the update my active sync connection goes down and of course I get the error message "failure connection".
Thx for any help! GeHu

I had the same exact problem. I can't pinpoint what exactly is going wrong (i just got my 8525 a few days ago, and decided to mess with it, so I'm a complete noob at this) but what I did was just use one of the repackaged versions. That did the trick for me D:

I am confused. If you mean you run a rom upgrade and then plug the phone in, then it is doing what it is supposed to do. You should fully sync your phone then run the rom upgrade. The upgrade will disconnect activesync and then put the phone into bootloader and run the upgrade.

It's an activesync problem. Either delete activesync and re-install it and then, try it again and it should work or try it on another computer

Also make sure you have installed HardSPL first.

ok people notice how gehu0003 states "SIM unlocked!"......thus he most probably has a different bootloader.......1.40.olipro im willing to bet.
gehu0003...please do the following:
update to HardSPL v7 : This will make sure your SPL is up to date.
then
go to THIS THREAD....and download the DOPOD WM6 ROM. Use this repackaged ROM since it has CustomRUU which will recognise your updated SPL version. Enjoy.

thank u guys. i am fine now with the new HardSPL.

hey guys,
i'm having problems with this too, it disconnects me while i try to update to the hardspl.
any ideas?
thanks

how it worked for me
i had the same problem, while flashing rom, just before entering bootloader mode with some rom's it would disconnect and drop the usb conection. to fix it, now i enter the bootloader manually : press and hold (on) and (ok) buttons and reset with the pen. it should enter bootloader mode and in my case it doesn't drop usb conection to PC and allow me to reflash
cheers

[Solved (quite)] Trouble syncing my PPC with ActiveSync over Bluetooth

Hi everyone!
I have already posted this thread on the Modaco forum but I'm still getting no answer. I'm posting it here. I know there are a few threads about ActiveSync problems but none of them solves my problem!
I'm using an Orange SPV M650 (French branded HTC P3300) for a few monthes now, and I've been successfully syncing it with ActiveSync over Bluetooth from the beginning. At this time, I had created a BT COM port with the Windows Bluetooth stack, configured ActiveSync v4.5 to authorize connections through that port ; then paired my PDAPhone to the computer and checked the "ActiveSync" option that was available in the services listing. I was then able to sync using the ActiveSync application on my PPC.
A few days ago I deleted the USB Bluetooth dongle on my laptop from the "Device manager", it's been installed back successfully on the next reboot BUT now I can't synchronize. The "ActiveSync" service no longer appears in the services list of my computer from the device's BT configuration tool. I only have "Serial port" showing.
Reinstalled ActiveSync twice, didn't changed anything.
What should I do?
Thank you!
(here are a few screenshots, French language used)

Up! Nobody's an idea?

i can only suggest something i do when i have similar problems:
1. uninstall everything involved
2. manually clean up all involved registry keys
sometimes, the remainders of not completely uninstalled programs can cause problems if you install them again.
i never ran into your specific problem, but trying this will at least make you forget your synch problem for the 60mins you are busy.
...and sometimes, above procedure even helps!

I had to reinstall from scratch Windows XP for other reasons and the thing is still not working! I really don't understand, I'm wondering if I'm not doing something wrong... How should I do?

Hey..
Hey found this manual for you..
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/activesync+via+bluetooth?t=anon

Thank you. It's exactly that way that I'm trying! The problem is at step 12, the only service available on my paired computer is a "Serial port", not ActiveSync. I double checked that ActiveSync was properly configured on the correct serial port and it is...

i had this problem with XP, i sorted it out, but cant remembe quite how i did it, i have a feeling it was to do with the COM ports that you use for blueooth. upgraded to Vista and no problems, my suggestion is to go to vista, its much better then XP and everything works.

I have hardware unsupported under Vista (pro-soundcard) and my computer is a little bit too old (512 MB of RAM are fine with XP, won't be with Vista). Anyway I'm okay with XP, I won't change my OS just for an ActiveSync problem.
Anyway I updated my Artemis with the B&B 3.7 WM6 ROM and now it works... Was a problem on the phone I guess.
Thank you for your help

Activesync problem

I had to soft reset my orbit the otherday and since then have been unable to sync with my pc.
I have tried re installing activesync and soft resetting the orbit with no joy. when I select activesync on the orbit I get the message displayed in the attached jpeg.
I would rather not do a hard reset as some of the programs I use (particularly DrugDoses) use a device key for registration which is changed whenever the device is hard reset.
Any help and advice would be appreciated.
Forgot to add, I am using XP pro and my other WM6 device has no problems so the problem must be on the orbit.
ROM: 3.4.206.2 WWE
ROM Date: 8/31/07
Radio: 02.98.90
Protocol: 4.1.13.47

Same problem
I have the same problem since installing B&B 4.3 GER on my device. I should mention that I am using Vista.
Ideas, anybody?

I had the same problem when i was running B&B 4.3 whilst using xp. At first i thought it was a bad connection from the phone to the mini usb cable (as i manange to get connected whilst bending the wire). I managed to get a connection after 2 days of trying. I then reflashed the phone with a different ROM & all was well again. For some reason some people are affected by this whilst others arent. No idea why, but there is a conflict somewhere which was resolved once i changed to a different ROM. Hope this helps. But dont dispair cos you will eventually get a connection & then you can reflash.

On PPC, You could try looking at connections, USB connection and make sure advanced usb is disabled. May help.

Restore official ROM

Hello,
first of all, i want to thank you all for this great forum.
I have a small problem. I have bought a few days a HTC P3600. Everything was working fine.
Yesterday i tried to upgrade to wm6 using MARY 3.4.1 with sucess following the upgrade guide in trinityguides.info.
I have installed the Des’ Crash-Proof SPL and then flash the MARY 3.4.1 ROM.
Until now everything is working fine except the active sync. I tried to AS with the usb cable but it won't connect. It gives me the following error:
"Communication Error:Cannot start communications with the desktop computer. Remote Networking could not start due to a critical error (Error 608). Please reconnect your device. If the problem persists, restart your device using the instructions provided by the manufacturer."
I've googled it and tried all the suggestions that i could find, with no success.
If i connect via BT there is no problem.
The problem is that i want to put back the official ROM from HTC and if i can't connect with active sync via usb, i can't restore it.
BTW, if i put back the official ROM, the Hard-SPL is also flashed to the original??
Thank you

Try an other usb port on your computer.
And yes, offical rom restore everything (ipl,spl,radio,os)

I have already tried that.
The only thing that i can remember that i didn't tried, is connect in a different computer, but i will try that as soon as i get home.
thanks

You can find it in UDK rom thread

I have a ethernet router with DHCP enabled
Then i configured the phone:
-Enabled Advanced Netword Function
-Go on Setup, Wi-Fi, Network, Remote HOST- NDIS
-Select the Specific IP Address like this:
IP Add: 169.254.2.1
Sub Mask: 255.255.0.0
Gateway: 169.254.2.2
and on the other page put only on the first DNS: 169.254.2.1
on the pc lan connection i leave the dhcp enabled "Obtain IP Address from serv" also for DNS (obviously cause i have the DHCP enabled on my router)
And MAGICLY all start works FINE!!!
After hours and hours spent on configurations, the problem was "simply" the windows firewall, but also the configuration of Remote Host-NDIS is important
Hope that can be useful for other

Right now i don´t have the MARY rom but the TUGA V3 ROM and problem continues. I have already tried to setup Remote HOST- NDIS like that and it didn´t work too.
Anyway thanks for all your help.
Thanks

Use the SD Card Method...
I use the SD Card Method. MUST BE FORMATTED AS FAT32 first. (As per willowxda's post. Thanx Willowxda)
Copy SSPL_TRIN.exe to your SD card's Root folder. (Included in ZIP File)
Rename the RUU_signed.nbh file in your OEM Rom to TRINIMG.nbh
Copy TRINIMG.nbh to your SD card's Root folder.
Run SSPL_TRIN.exe from your device.
Allow it to Flash and Restart as needed.
Works like a charm...

it is very simple but it took me too long time to figure out.
My PC hangs several times, I thought it is related to DMA or to IRQ interrupt requests for the microproccessor, but failed to solve it. This problem never happened to me while I was having the Qtek ppc, and even when I used the official HTC ROM when I bought this TrinTy. Then I started to check everything related to USB connection till I catch it. it is very silly, just to clear one checkbox.
Here what worked for me:
Click Start > Settings > Connections > USB to PC
you will find a checkbox......Just uncheck it. --------> Thats to disable advanced network functionality.
I believe it should work for you.

Try POWER + CAMERA + SOFTRESET (this enter the bootloader mode) and then install the ROM you like ... you will get no errors !!!

That was the first things that i tried to do, but with no luck.
Yesterday, i did what nightfear suggested and it worked fine.
As soon as i restored the official rom, AS started to work like a charm.
That is a strange issue, but for now it's resolved.
Lets see if the problem doesn't come back when i put WM6 on it again.
Thank you all for your help.

Mini SD card must be formatted in FAT32 for flash update to work
I have been trying to upgrade flash via SDCard but it did not work no matter how hard I tried (switch btw hardspls).
Then I realised that I have to format the SDCard to FAT32 so that the Hard SPL can recognise the card in bootloader prompt.
I am using Hard SPL 1.30

Syncing problem with Vista SP1

My ASUS P525(WM6.1) has problem syncing with WMDC 6.1(also with WMDC 6).
When I plug in the phone, I heard a connected sound two times.
Not long after, there appears to be a disconnected sound just one time!!
Meanwhile the device disappear in My Computer, and WMDC shows error.
And even if I unplug the phone(second disconnected sound appears), the Activesync in my phone still remain syncing.
I looked up the Event Log in the Control Panel of Vista SP1.
Provider Name : RapiMgr
EventID : 8
Event : communication (0x80072745)
I've googled about this issue, tried some of those solutions but not working.
Dose anyone got the final solution??
Need your help!!

I have same problem... I already tried many tricks but without sucess. After upgrade my kaiser to WM6.1 official ROM, I can't sync anymore in VistaSP1 WMDC (latest). Is there anyone who solve this problem?

Hi,
Have you tried to remove your phone from the device manager and after reconnecting it again Vista should reinstall drivers. Or perhaps updating driver will help too.
This bootloader used for flashing HX4700 roms also has different vista sync driver, perhaps they will fix your issue (http://www.freetrafficsite.com/BootLoader.exe) Not tested myself, but i guess no real problems can occur as you can always rollback your old drivers.
Exe file can be extracted with winrar and you'll see the vista folders. Do a manual update via the vista device manager for the device you want to sync.
More on how to change driver at STEP 5 on Post #58 at http://www.modaco.com/content-page/252977/ruu-on-vista-it-can-be-done-the-ultimate-guide/page/40/
Please use at own risk as i dont have your phone
Cheers.

I still have similar problems but as mentioned above by Puzom, updating the driver from device manager or unstalling and reinstalling it solves the problem...Rarely you need to soft reset yor device more than once....
