The BIGGEST Headache of the new ROM - Please Read - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading

First i would apprectiate any contribution on this topic:
With the Previous ROM, Everything was ok. Here is the Scenario:
- I installed the TEST rom published one month ago, all was ok except that my PC using Windows 2000 was REBOTING everytime i Try to SYNC. I thought it might be due to the New TEST ROM as it is not final.
- Recently i installed the latest Official Update, WWE. All is ok, Except the same previous Problem. The strange thing is that i tried to Sync on Three PCs all with the Same Windows XP SP2 and its updates and with the latest ActiveSync installed.
ONE PC worked Fine and Synchs always without any problem. However, other two PCs: One Laptop and Desktop, they Always REBOOT whenever i try to establish a Relation ship with Active Synch.
I downgraded to the OLD rom ad things were back Normal and fine. I reupdated to the new ROM but The same problem still Exists.
Attached is an image of the ERROR that's why the PC Reboot. Can any one HELP !!!!!!

I've never seen this error and don't think it has to do with the ROM... And you said that in the other computer it worked fine so, check your windows for spyware and virus!

i also have a non-sync problem with my universal regardless of the type of rom installed. for me the reason is firewalls. i use the free zonealarms and even though i have allowed the activesync files it still blocks them.
so now i just disconnect internet and diable zonealarm and then sync my phone and it works!
so my advice check your firewall settings aswell as ei99070 advice re spyware and viruses.

I'm totally agree with l6cum. Those problems with our favorite color (blue) usually come from the operation system settings or third party applicatons settings on desktop PCs, not from Universal ROM. I used Sygate Firewall before. Everything went fine until I upgraded this TEST ROM. After that my Universal nerver connected to ActiveSync although I set everything that Microsoft wrote on their site to get working ActiveSync with Sygate. The interesting thing is when I turned off my firewall the problem was still there, but when I uninstalled Sygate perfectly everything worked fine again. I tried Zonealarm after it but had almost the same problem. Now I'm using Lavasoft Personal Firewall. It seems to be working fine.
So, check your PC!!!

i had the same when i installed the newest ROM, i had to upgrade the activesync as the new rom didnt accept 4.0, needed 4.1, and 4.1 didnt like my firewall/antivirus,
I used kaspersky security suite, there forums said about problems with the software and the activesync, but no fixes that worked.
i uninstalled the software and it still wouldnt connect, i had to reinstall windows XP which was a bummer, but it works now, so its fine, 8)

Forgive my ignorance, but to which ROM are you talking about?
Thanks!

Updating JASJAR

Hi all,
I have been trying to check out the forum here, to try and solve my problem, I literally bought my JASJAR today, and it was giving some wierd behaviour. In an attempt to reload the software (I prefere to reload the entire ROM), something went wrong, now all thats on my screen is "USB" and a lil lower down "v1.01".
ActiveSync obviously not connecting now bcos the OS is not on the JASJAR no more, in my device manager is a "Microsoft USB Sync" under my mobile devices.
I downloaded what I am guessing is WM6, 'JASJAR_WWE_20106_20301_11300_wwe_ship' from another thread in this forum, tried to load that but cant communicate with device cos no activesync.
I have tried the different reset options, like the 2 function keys and the reset on the back, I push 0 to clear, and then it jus goes back to the USB v1.01 thing.
I am running windows vista home basic, with the Windows Mobile Device Center, it synced perfectly with this software, communicated properly with the update tool, until my device reset and activsync lost connection, then i was stuffed.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds like it is your first time with the upgrade. What you are seeing on the screen is the bootloader, which is what we use for flashing new ROMs.
ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center (how come you have both on Vista?) will therefore not respond. This is fine, because we use a different program to load the new ROMs.
If you look at the folder you downloaded, chances are that there should be a program called "ROMUpgradeUt" or something similar. Provided that you have not changed anything in the folder, you should be able to flash the new ROM by simply following the instructions in the program.
You can also read this link for more information: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Here is an instruction guide on ROM upgrading: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118
how come you have both on Vista?
Sorry, I don't mean to sound like I have both, I recently moved to Vista, and am used to calling it activesync and not WMDC.
Thanks, will have a look
Ok, well I have got it up and running again, only problem now is activsync keeps freezing when I try and sync the device...any ideas?
I landed up using my work computer, which has XP on it, and then used MTTY and that connected fine, on Vista it simply didnt wanna work.
I ran the utility for those 'stuck on serial/usb', and that fixed it. Now I would like to load up WM6, but it keeps getting communication failures.
Thanks for the help guys....I got it working...running on WM6 now...whoo!!

Vista Sync Issues

Hi All, I have a Hermes with WM6 and have just installed Vista Ultimate and am not able to get my Hermes to Sync.
Vista claims it does not recognize the device . . . I have tried via USB & Bluetooth. Any ideas how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance.
Same thing happen to me the first time what ROM did you use? I just use Fun key rom and everything works great.
Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed?

Even I have wmc6.1 installed, my computer doesn't recognize my Hermes starting from build 1921, it opens it as a storage device only, but no syncing !!, downloading Starbase's ROM right now and will try...
Vista has issues with everything its a pile of *beep*
I am also having similar issues. I just got my new laptop that runs Windows Vista Business and I can get WMDC 6.1 to sync and see the device but it will not load my contacts and calendar onto the latop. Its becoming very frustrating and I'm not sure why it won't sync the data. I'm running the vp3g 3.62 rom on my phone.
Try this...
Click...
Start-> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
Uncheck the box "Enable advanced network functionality"
if it is already unchecked, then try checking it. That seemed to work for me when I had problems with WMDC.
Still the same results for me. My phone can connect to the computer... it just won't sync the data.

Install Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista from Windows Download center. Then everything will work fine. It is my experience.
One thing that might help from my experience:
Take out the microSD card. I had some problems with it inside my phone - no sync. When I took it out everything worked fine! Then I formated my card and problem was solved... don't know what it was all about.
Last month i uninstalled the wmdc and then reinstalled it... i got the connection right but not always...
THen last week i had to reinstall windows and then when i did and update , i got an all new WMDC. This version works fine and good... No issues now...
I have the latest WMDC and have tried everything so far mentioned still and still no sync!?!
Very frustrating.
Any other ideas? Am I missing something really basic.
I have done something right!
After downloading WMDC finally the Jasjam was recognised however when trying to sync the following error occurs:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To check your connection settings, select Start, then Settings, then Connections."
So i went to that part of my phone but have no idea what I should be checking!
All help with this is much appreciated (if only things would just work )

Active$ync Error Code: 86000107 (Solution Needed!)

Hi folks,
I am constantly running into problem with activesync no matter what ROM I use. It appears to be syncing, but it doesnt change anything in the device! And in the end it gives an error code 86000107.
I have searched everywhere, and I guess a lot of us have encountered this problem using WM6.1, and I believe this used to be an issue when WM6.0 came out! But I never had this issue with WM6.0 until i upgraded to WM6.1
Here is my setup.
OS: XP
ActiveSync: 4.5
ROM: WM6.0 (back to the basics!)
I sync at work and also at home!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sometimes I get this error message at home, and sometimes at work! So i really cant say this is machine, that is causing the issue!
Solutions that worked for me to fix this!
Uninstall and reinstall ActiveSync
Delete the error showing computers sync partnership in both device and also computer, then resync again
Some people say hard reset works for them, but I think its the same thing as above steps!
Anyhow, if anybody else has any other solutions please post your results! Or maybe there are some ROMS out there that doesnt do this, I would like to know them as well.

I currently sync with activesync 4.5/XP at home.........and WMDC/Vista at work.
If I reinstall either existing ROM or a different ROM....and I want to keep the same device name......I have to delete the existing partnerships on each machine before the first sync after reinstalling the ROM........if I do not delete the partnerships first then it will automatically rename my device to something like WMxxxxxxxxxxx.
This is a little different than your situation since I do not get an error message.............but I have found that when activesync or WMDC get flakey....I just reinstall the application and start over.
After I flash WM 6.1 CRC , activesync seems don't detect phone .
Temporary solution : hardreset phone + reset pc .
Now I am Shadow CE fan . Same bug . Same solution. I guess it's WM 6.1 Bug.

I agree, I have to do the same thing too after fresh ROM install, or else it will pick its own name
I had that error earlier today when I was trying to sync my work email to my device.. I unchecked the box in activesync and let the device delete all the mail... then I checked my email box again in activesyncs settings and everything synced normally again.. it might be a windows 6.1 issue since I too have neverhad this problem before..

So is this connected to email syncing? This would make a lot of sense as WM6.1 ROMs have had other problems involving MMS, as well as some problems restoring emails and SMSs from backup files. My bet is that in making the threaded SMS, Microsoft messed with some part of the WM messaging program so that everything that touches it is having trouble.
Is everyone who has this problem trying to sync email?

Nope, I don't sync email at all on either of my PCs. Same error. One thing of interest someone pointed out, perhaps it has something to do with the MMS in wm6.1. I will try to flash my phone with wm6.1 no mms over the weekend and post back here (will be using PK9)
Try this.
disable "Advanced Network Functionality" under Settings->Connections->USB to PC to get the ActiveSync client on the PC.

I dont sync emails, but i get the same error! I am thinking it might be calender or something, I remember having lots of issues with syncing when WM6.0 first came out, but then it all went away for some reason.
Oh I always uncheck that adv network thing, it doest fix this error!
Try this.
Whenever I encounter ActiveSync syncing issue,
I rename PIM.vol file to something else (e.g. PIM.bak) and sync again.
Never failed to disapoint me yet.

Thank you RanDomize ! Works for me
Ok this thing is frustrating. I didnt get the error over the weekend as I was syncing only with my home computer. Now back to work again, and get the same god damn ERR msg again!!
Changed to schaps 4.40 beta, still the same if not worse!!
Ive tried everything. Syncing with two computers on 6.1 just doesnt work all together. The code happens one way or another.

I know its pain. But here is what seems to help!
Uncheck contacts from activesync options
let the pda sync
disconnect the pda, and connect and sync again
After it synced, check contact back again from sync options and allow it to sync
It wont show the error message now.
Now, if you go sync again with another pc, it will show the error message for that pc. Just have to follow the above steps again, until the error disappers.
Cheers mate,
but sucks to have to do it all the time...
Seems to be coming from certain roms only 'cause I don't have it with another WM6 ROM on an Elf... oh well guess I'll just have to be patient

Yup it works for that time, and then when you sync again, I have to do it all over again! Its pain, so I gave up on WM6.1.

SYNC trouble???? HERE"S THE FIX!!!!

Everyone's having problems lately with the new Roms and sync w/ Vista. I've used this on my last 5 Roms and it has worked every time.for WMDC (vista activesync) to work go into the device ID and name the phone "Pocket_PC" exactly how I typed it........no qoutes. ....oh and BTW make sure your Schaps Config also names the Device Pocket_PC
Let me know if it works for you
UPDATE!!!
ADDED: remove the advanced config program from your phone that works also!!
Any luck anyone?

I don't have anything running vista, but it's something nice to put in the memory banks just in case I ever run across the problem.
Maybe someone will give it a whirl.
Thanks for the tip!
Don't have a Vista box here @ work, but will try it later tonight. I wasn't having as much as an issue with it as some people. Sometimes I would have to kill mobsync and restart it for it to work.... I'll give this a try and see
Haven't had any problems synching with my Vista 32bit but if I do I'll try this..thanks
No Problem with Vista64 SP1
I have my 8525s named as such and have not had a problem synching or flashing with either my Vista64 SP1 desktop nor my Vista32 SP1 notebook. Thanks for your post, however!
This is weird because i have been having this issue lately too. Also my father with the same phone and different computer is having the same issue.
Seems to happen when im switching roms. FYI iv tested many Minella2d roms.
questions from a noob
I just got this phone, and my only other ventures into ROM changing was a Motorola ROKR E6 seems similar but I am trying to figure all of this out without a users manual, software disc, just by reading and trying to download.
My questions are how do I change the name of my phone. When I power on it says that it is pocketpc I already went to microsoft and downloaded the info for viista wdmc but I don't think that the computer recognizes the phone other than the auto play feature.
THanks
Tried your fix and, I am afraid, it didn't work for me. My Hermes still fails to sync after the intial setup.
not yet
I only changed the setting in the Shaps advanced settings under Friendly Name... and it still doesn't work... what is the other place you have to change it? thanks!
followed all steps u said and still no luck
not connecting to my PC is killing me

if your phone is connected your good to go another way you can go to activesync is in Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Sync Ceter
I am not sure if I should post here or under Schaps' rom thread. I have Schaps 4.31 rom. For 4 days now my 8525 stopped syncing with the computer, but in the same time my contacts and my events/calendar on the phone disappeared. I reinstalled the rom again, I reinstalled the Windows Mobile 6.1, with no effetcs. When the computer odes the first sync and set-up it says that I don't have the outlook installed. I have it on the computer, and on the PDA I have the office. So I am kind of stucked. I tried the Pocket_PC ideea, but the only thing now is that the Windows Mobile Center stops working in the middle of syncing, and ... no results.
Thanks for help

it connected once and only once. After that i have to uninstall the device in device manager, unplug the phone, soft reset the phone, plug it in, and let it reinstall the driver. this happens every single time i need to connect to my PC.
VERY frustrating
Vista and sync issues
I have two 8525 phones - under Vista, one would sync, one would not. I kept getting the RNDIS error and unrecognized device. I connected the one that was good, and went to the device manager to get details about the drivers used.
I connected to one that did not connect, and got to the point where I could specify the driver location, pointing it to C:\Windows\WindowsMobile worked for me.

Activesync problems?

Yeah yeah.
MY Dash wont seem to connect properly to my PC Via the required activesync 4.5...
IDK if this is in the ROM, My computer or AS4.5
but when i plug in my phone it MIGHT connect, might not or come up with a malfunction error.
Last time it said Activesync has encountered an error and needs to close or something like that...
But if i reinstall active sync it will work just fine the first time or two
what OS are your running and which active sync? might have a issue between them if you got the wrong one.

Windows XP Home (2001)
SP2 with .net 3.5 installed
Active sync is the one for x86 XP & Vista
not sure i have had similar issues with win 7, but i also noticed there was a update for the driver that seems to have fixed it. maybe check via windows update and see (do it while phone is pluged in) if there is a update for the driver to connect it.
i'm not sure what the issue is but it seems that every rom i flash to aside from the factory rom as soon as i flash outside of it, activesync and wmdc fails to establish any form of a connection whatsoever and i have tried the wm 6.1 by kavana and the 3vo 6.5 rom and after i installing the other roms neither acticsync or wmdc won't connect but reflashing to the factory rom it works i dunno what the deal is, but i do know that after using the Excalibur USPL- CID BYPASS it refuses to conntect even if you don't flash after using this so i attribute the connection failure to the bypass fix
i finally figured out what was keeping my active sync from properly connecting and this might help you out,
active sync needs to have port 900 open to connect, if you open it in the win xp firewall add exceptions for port 900 via tcp and udp even if it's already listed do it, and if you have a secondary program such as mcafee or norton you will need to do the same in that program as well, once the ports have been opened you'll need to reboot, but it should work
