Some help with USB and XDA II

Hi,
Maybe someone here knows a solutions to this one:
When you go to bootloader on the XDA II you can use a serial cable to talk to it. However you can also dock your device in the cradle again and it will allow a USB connection to the bootloader prompt. However, with Windows it will start the wceusbsh.sys driver for active sync. In Linux it loads the generic serial USB driver, which allows you to connect to the bootloader with a terminal program.
Question is: does anyone know how to prevent the wceusbsh.sys driver to load, but instead load the serial usb driver (so you can use hyperterminal for example) OR how you can programmatically talk to the device through the wceusbsh.sys driver without any actuall active sync on the side of the device (that is running the bootloader and presenting a USB> prompt)
If I'm not clear let me know.
Thanks,

(not really sure) but maybe this may help: http://www.lvr.com/usbfaq.htm

What I tried so far is edit the INF file for the wireless modem with the vendor and equipment IDs for the bootloader mode. Then remove the active sync driver from the Device manager and try to add the INF manually. That doesn't work without the device connected. And once you connect the device it immediately installs the windows driver again.

ys, that is what I encountered too.
maybe completely remove everything from \windows\inf that has some relation to active sync?

maybe the trick is to set the correct vendor/product id:

one step further, now activesync no longer works, and I do see a broken 'COM3'.

got it to work programmatically - see http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xda-ii.html - the xda2dmp tool.
allows you to dump either windows ce, or gsm memory, via serial port or usb

Upgrading under Vista

I can't find anything on the WiKi about upgrading running Vista.
I tried to upgrade, but got stuck in bootloader. There doesn't seem to be any advice for us Vista people. If anyone knows how to help, perhaps there should be a Vista sticky?

Reading the advice for people stuck in boootloader, I tried to copy the advice about disabling ActiveSync into Vista speak. I opened Windows Mobile Device Centre, disabled connect using USB, downloaded and ran mtty, but it doesn't offer me the USB port , only com 1 to 4.

Found it!
You have to change the USB driver:

But Vista says the driver is already up to date and it would care less to update,solution??

Yes, you have explained what to do in case the driver CAN be updated.
BUT what should we do in in the case it COULDN'T (read carefully the previous question, please).

What buzz didn't really make clear is how to forcefully 'up/downgrade' the driver.
Here's how to do it in detail (picking up from the 'update driver' step in buzz's method...
1. Click 'Update Driver Software...'
2. Click 'Browse My Computer for Driver Software...'
3. DO NOT browse for the driver here... click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer...'
4. Click the 'Have disk' button near the lower right hand corner of the center box.
5. NOW you can browse for the location of the driver you downloaded, click OK.
6. Choose the option in the box (Should say 'Microsoft USB Sync' or 'Microsoft USB Sync Version: X.X.XXXX...'), and click NEXT.
It should now PROPERLY install the working driver...
And NOW you can use RUU without worry under Vista.
Whew!
The only drawback is that you have reload the older driver every time you need to flash, because Vista changes it every time you sync. But at least you know how to do it now!

Device ID keep changing on Vista

Please help - I sync my Tytn with ActiveSync on XP (Laptop) and with Device Centre on Vista (Desktop). I have set the Device ID on my PPC & it works fine with XP, but when I connect to Vista the ID on the PPC is changed. I disconnect the device, rename the ID to what it was originally, reconnect and the ID is changed again to HTC?? ( ?? = random numbers ). This is causing the device ID to not display my name on BT Car kit. I have searched the web & the forum but have not found a solution.
Rom : Schap's 3.54c

make sure u erase any id's on ur vista.
or get rid of that ****ty os and install xp pro.

I've been trying to find a solution to this for ages! Everything seems to sync OK (with advanced networking disabled) but it's so irritating that WMDC on Vista changes the Device ID on my device, even when set manually on my Kaiser. Looks like this is simply an annoying WMDC/Vista bug that cannot be solved...

Do not use underscores in your device ID. When you flash a new ROM you typically default to HTC_TYTN or something similar; remove the "_". On my Vista WMDC the device ID kept on changing to HTC67 and the next time HTC69, etc. Removing the underscore did the trick.

Thanks! That did the trick. I was also having the super irritating problem of Device ID changing. I was using an underscore in my Device ID name. Removing it really did the trick, no more Device ID changing.

Thank you very much.

Suddently can't Sync with Vista

Dear All,
My Hermes suddently can't sync with my PC. I don't remember when is the last time it could sync with PC (either before upgrading to Vista service pack 1 or before repairing the flexible cable of my Hermes)
All contacts, calendar, Task, and notes on my Hermes gone and can't be sync with PC which contain all of these.
I've tried to connect-disconnect Hermes, reinstall windows mobile Device Center for Vista 32 bit, soft reset Hermes --> still the same, can't sync.
Every time connection between Hermes and PC on, Windows Mobile Device Center turns to "Error" or "connected" with "Set up your device" link.
Every time I click the "set up your device", It stop while "setting up partnership" at 45% with message "Changes to syncronization settings with Server ActiveSync could not be made at this time". After I click OK on the pop up message, it goes to neverending syncing mode.
Thank you for your help.
Hermes:
Windows Mobile 6.1
ROM version : Pays ROM
ROM date : 11/06/07
Radio version : 1.47.00.10
protocol version : 32.80.7020.20H
PC:
Windows vista home premium
Service pack 1

I have the same problem. even redid my whole computer. I am running vista ultimate. I tried several roms that worked before but no success.

@cloud_kjo
Did you try to uncheck "USB to PC" in the settings/connection? Did you pair your phone with your PC and try syncing with Bluetooth? also, run a disk cleanup on your PC...if that does not work than try a different rom.
I have had simular problems with some roms. I found that that after flashing a Rom, I set up the time and put my name in the owners information, then I pair my Bluetooth and then sync my phone. If after flashing a new rom and I set up a lot of programs, most of the time it will not sync and I get an error.
also there is system restore on your PC .
Hope that helps
@jamal1782 Bummer, What did you redid? First I would uninstall and then reinstall WMD 6.1, then I would run a disk cleanup, run ccleaner, Flash a wm 6 oem rom and see if that will pair and sync...if you still have that problem, change USB ports, also look in Device Management and see if any USB ports are corrupted. Maybe you have a short in your USB connector
Here is a link that might help out...http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=1762&SiteID=65

Dear Pumpiron579 thanks for your advise.
Have done the steps. Finally, the final solution is to re-flashing the hermes with another ROM. However because the stupidity of me, I forgot to back up the SMS messages content from my hermes. Now I lost all of them.
Is there is any way to recover the SMS?
Thanks.

Cloud, which ROM did you choose?

Try running this file http://toril.ru/pda/akrndisadd.exe on your phone. It works every time my phone stops synching.

All I do when this happens is delete the Windows CE Services"folder" under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ tree of the windows registry.
If that fails, check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2806941&postcount=2

Look People I was suffering from the same problem for a week and finally I found a solution for it

[SOLVED] USB Tethering - Missing RNDIS Driver

Problem: I'm trying to USB tether my phone using a Wi-Fi connection (3G is not available atm). I connect my phone to my PC. I go into menu -> settings -> Wireless & network settings -> tethering & portable hotspot, and check USB tethering. Device manager says an RNDIS driver is missing.
Setup: Rooted (using unRevoked) HTC Incredible running CyanogenMod 7.03, not overclocked atm. USB debugging is enabled. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on my PC. Everything is running smoothly.
What I've tried:
I've searched everywhere and cannot find this driver. Of course, Windows 7 cannot find it online.
I can't install ActiveSync because I am running Windows 7.
I've installed Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it still can't find the driver.
The Google OEM USB drivers out of the Android SDK don't work.
Without HTC Sync installed, I simply do not have the RNDIS driver. With HTC sync installed, this is what happens: The RNDIS driver gets installed, but when I check the USB tethering box on my phone, it goes on for a second, and then immediately goes off again.
Please help, this is one of the most frustrating problems I've ever dealt with, and it seems to be a simple driver issue.

*EDIT* This solved it.

Good learning, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the Thanks. haha. =oD

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for this and posting the fix

Just to save some people some heavy head scratching: If you get error 10 for the RNDIS device in the device manager and USB-tethering does not work, disable USB-debugging for the time being.

First download the driver and unrar it.
1. Connect your phone, open usb tethering
2. go to your device manager.
3. Find the Device with the little ? and then maybe a yellow !. (RDNIS)
4. Right click that device and select Update Driver.
5. When the window pops up, select, Browse My Computer for driver software, then on the next screen, click on the bottom that says, LET ME PICK.
6. Then it will ask you the device type, go down select Network Adapters.
7. Select microsoft as manufacturer and select Microsoft Corporation.
8. Then, select Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device.
9. Hit next, it will say it's not safe, etc etc, proceed to install it.

Tethering With XP-64 Pro And Remote NDIS Install
It took me about a day to figure this out and yes, some of us still use XP. (I use it for mechanical CAD work, because I can't afford to buy all new CAD proggies, which would be required, if I upgraded Windows.) Tethering now works great and I can even share the connection further using MS Internet sharing on XP, which provides the tethered Internet to machines on my wired network and wifi router without having to connect them to my Moto G4 Plus. This means I can also place whatever firewall I choose in the path and extend the wifi range (my Netgear wifi signal is more powerful than my Moto G4 Plus).
I tried two .inf files. The only one that worked was produced by cutting and pasting to an .inf file from here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/network/remote-ndis-inf-template#rndis-inf-template-for-ndis-60-windows-7-and-later
Then I had to explicitly add my Moto G4 Plus ID, as described here (remembering to enable USB tethering on my Moto G4 phone AFTER plugging it into my Windows computer):
http://karceh.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-to-usb-tether-android-phones-with.html
The rest of the install was nearly as described here in this xda-dev thread. Browse directly to the .inf file when given the chance to select the driver.
Here is my .inf file with my Moto G4 ID (you'll need to replace it with your phone's ID in the right spot, of course). Search for "Moto G4" to see where I placed my G4's ID:
