I recently installed a different ROM onto my device, and now when it syncs with my PC to install the device driver, it installs "Micro$oft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #3." What the hell is this? Removing it from the Device Manager only reinstalls the same one and I can't sync with WMDC. How do I get Vista to install the correct driver, and why did it never have a problem before?
This happened to me as well after I installed Schap's 3.54c ROM would like to know if there is a fix.
Oh come on, guys. I really wish just once someone would successfully answer one of my questions. This is kind of a big deal here. I can't flash another ROM if I can't sync, and I'm a little skeptical that NO ONE HERE has ever encountered a solution for this. Help me out!
You've been very lucky my friend.

You’re damn lucky no one has flamed you for all of your noob posts. You need to post less and search and read more.
However, because I'm somewhat of "noob" as it relates to posting but, I'm a bit of veteran when it comes to flashing, etc. I’ll bail you out on this one.
1) First, in order to flash from Vista you should visit the Incredible MrVanx’s site. That should allow you to flash from Vista (I haven’t tried it as I have an XP machine right behind me from which to upgrade my 8525 without the risk of heartburn).
2) If it’s syncing you want then you may need to disregard the above and follow the advice posted here.
And, as advice I gave to another smarta** poster (free advice being worth exactly what you paid for it). Drop the attitude and improve your searching/reading skills. If you don’t want to do that, then stop f’ing around with ROM upgrades.

Meanwhile, you need to post less and learn to read more carefully to the posts of those you're responding to. I have flashed ROMs a number of times. Where did I say that I did not know how to flash a ROM? I said that I can't now because since my last flash Vista will not recognize my PPC. It installs the wrong driver and I cannot figure out how to change that. The only thread I found that seemed to answer this question (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303634) did so in italian.
I also found another thread dealing with this same problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301876&page=3) but aside from re-installing Vista which I am loath to do, none of those solutions worked either.
And as for your second thread you directed me to, I'd already read that and tried downgrading WMDC before. I suppose I should have clarified myself by saying that it's not simply that I can't sync, I cannot connect my PPC to my computer through WMDC at all. I should have been more specific, but I figured since I mentioned that it kept installing the wrong driver, you would have been able to figure that out on your own.
And let me get this straight, you call yourself a veteran flasher, but don't even HAVE the computer operating system I'm having trouble with? Perhaps we both have things to improve about our postings, Timmy.
As for all my "noob" posts, I searched all of them before posting. Not to mention I've only had to post three previous questions which I could not find an answer to on here or elsewhere, those being
A) Is it possible to copy the gwes.exe.0409.mui without having to do a ROM dump? (Never got resolved, though Sleuth at least tried the basics).
B) Is there anyway to redate SMS's since Jeyo screwed them all up when using the program to back them up. (Never got resolved).
C) Can anyone help with the device lock asking for a password I never set up? (Yep, never got resolved).
If you would like to direct me to RELEVANT threads that answer these questions, I'll be more than happy to thank you for it, but until then at least you did get one thing right about your post, that being what it was worth.
Don't know if you've tried this, but.
I had the same issue. After installing one of JJ's ROMs, I couldn't get WMDC to recognize the new build. Broke all partnerships, nothing helped.
I then completely uninstalled WMDC and rebooted. I then went back to MS and grabbed WMDC again. It installed, I plugged in the TyTN and crossed my fingers.
The drivers re-installed and everything is good in the world now.
Also, Mr. Vanx's guide for downgrading drivers is not necessary for the HTC official or at least the last three builds of Black. I can't speak for any other RUU's, but the latest completely work with Vista (Ultimate & Enterprise, at least).
Hope this helps you out.
Thanks for the effort, silverfox, and the tone. Unfortunately I've tried that a couple of times, and it still goes along merrily installing the wrong driver. Does anyone how I could manually select the "HTC USB SYNC" driver? Not even sure where it's located. Checked under system32/drivers but it's not in there.
Nevermind...

Wrong again blowhard, read the post again, especially the part about where I say I have "...an XP machine right behind me..., I'm posting from a Vista machine.

hi twiggy,
how can I help you (even that i'm not getting donations here)?
buzz
no ive given up on asking for help ive posted several posts over the last few months and to be honest ive got more help speaking to a brick but thank you for offering DONT DONATE
I have donated, but to be honest my meagre contribution is but a fraction of the value that I have had from xda-developers.
I have unlocked my xda and my xda2. I used the special ROM and later the ROM Kitchens to upgrade my xda. I have downloaded ROM images for my xda2 and learnt how to tweak the extended ROM. I have used buckets full of advice given by the members of this forum. I have had many laughs and smiles reading through the posts.
Xda-developers has been worth every cent/penny of my donation (and probably loads more too). I am waiting for an unlocker for the mda-pro. If it happens then xda-developers or buzzdev will get my next donation.
I haven't expected personal service with replys directly to me. I just read the posts that interest me (and some that don't) and make use of the services that many hardworking developers make available to us all.
Donations only keep the site running and finance its hosting/domain; they don't pay for help from other users of the site. If someone helps somebody else here, they don't get anything (financially) in return and are giving their time and expertise for free.
Regards,
Neil.
I donated because I like my HTC phone and I do not want to lose a technical resource like xda-developers. Even though technical information on HTC phones is hard to come by, there is more information about them on this site, than there is technical information about other phones on any single site. You'd be lucky to find this much information about any phone.
twiggy626: Calmly tell us your problem, be it "bloody damn activesync", keys and screen not locking the way you want, upgrade not working, or whatever's bugging you. State your problems clearly -- what is happening, and what you want to happen. You might not be getting an answer because your questions are not clear enough and no-one knows what to say.
Expanding on what leek said:
A good guide with pointers on how to ask questions in a way that is more likely to yeild results can be found here:

I'm afraid I'm not an expert on activesync. Others have more experience than I do.
When you say "after sync it drops the connection", do you mean after it has synced your files (contacts, etc.) it drops the connection, or do you simply mean after it opens a connection, it immediately drops it? Are there any clues on the screen of the PC or PDA, any messages? Does it say "synchronized" for any length of time? Can you "explore" your PDA from within ActiveSync?
Have you tried changing the options in ActiveSync? Have you removed unnecessary programs which could be conflicting with AS on your PC or PDA? Have you tried a different USB sync cable or cradle?
If you are trying to fix something wrong on your PDA by installing software on it, have you tried other methods of installing software, such as using a card reader and copying the .CAB files to a SD card, then installing the SD card in your PDA and running the .CAB from there? Or setting up a Bluetooth connection, by using a BT dongle on your PC? Wifi? There are many ways to install stuff on your PDA besides AS. Perhaps the solution to fixing AS, requires going around AS.
What is the history of your PDA? What have you installed on it, and what modifications to the ROM have you made? What steps did you take?
I don't know enough about AS to help -- I'm just trying to steer your questions so that you're more likely to get answers.
you are likely to get more of a response if you stop posting in unlocking and modifying and post with the forum that relates to your device. this way your questions will be more specific, and you will also find that those with more specific experience to your specific device can assist more efficiently that trying to cross advise.
for example, I cant really help on the magician, but have owned the himalaya, and currently the universal. so i only review the himalaya forum and no other.
also, i dont see much where you have provided assistance to others, it appears to be i want i want i want, try to give a lot and you might get back a little rather than vice versa.
it is true, we are all here to help, not serve.
You dont even point out your device, the version of your operating system on your pda or pc, nor what version of activesync. help yourself by helping us to help you.
to give assistance you have to learn, i cant learn from nothing
to give assistance you have to learn, i cant learn from nothing
I'm not sure if this is what you want. I am not an expert but I am just having a look at my device now:
I have an xda2 (Himalaya). With my device NOT connected to the PC:
1) Open Activesync
2) Click on Tools (at the bottom) and selcect Options
3) The next screen should mention the PC that you sync with. Click on the Options button.
4) On the next screen, tick the box for enabling PC sync and choose the USB option in the drop-down box.
5) Just underneath it states: When syncing remotely
6) Select the Maintain connection button
7) Click OK to close the screen
I suspect that this is more for bluetooth or network connections, but it is worth a try.
Good Luck
I am not sure if this is the correct place for this thread, and it is my first post so please be gentle if this is the wrong place. Sorry to the Mods in advance.
I purchased an at&t Tilt when it launched and have loved the phone since I got it. A customer came into my store the other day with the Touch Flo Cube(I believe that was the correct name for it)setup running on his. He showed me how it worked, and I fell in love with the user interface on the spot. His Tilt also played streaming videos from Youtube and other websites and said there was a software update for that too. I have been online for the last few days researching software updates for it and have had not problem finding any. The problem is that everywhere I go there is a GIANT warning saying that if you install this stuff without knowing what you are doing it will ruin your phone. Well, as stated I am a Noob to all of this. I have no idea how to do any of the stuff and have not been able to find New User Friendly instructions. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with updating my Tilt to run the interface that I mentioned, and or if someone could point me in the right direction to find instructions on how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
im having the exact same problem ... i read oen that said to run it on ur computer then sink it with your phone and then i read one that said sink your phone then run it on ur phone .... but which is the right way?
im having the exact same problem ... i read one post that said to run it on ur computer then sink it with your phone and then i read another post that said sink your phone then run it on ur phone .... but which is the right way?
ok, the best place to post this is in the kaiser upgrading forum. dont be scared, we were all noobs once. If you read the instructions properly, and follow them properly, you will be very very very unlucky if you damage your device. The roms and unlockers only have those warnings because they arent responsible if you break your device, and though its obvious, they still have to say it.
kaiser upgrading and unlocking : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
So dont be scared, but be cautious, and take your time, rad it all, and take heed of the warnings, but dont let them put you off...

Sorry, another dumb question. I have found a person on htcwiki.com that says all I need to do is to install the Cube programing to my Tilt, then when I open the folder, it will auto install the files to the correct places on my Tilt enabling the Cube to work. Does this seem correct?
The cube updating changes the browser to mirror the i-phone correct? Where I can simply run my finger across a web page to scroll from left to right and side to side?
Where would I find an application that would allow me to view Youtube videos?
I'm really new to this whole thing of flashings ROM's but my friend said that it is the way to go. I just did my first one, which was the Kavanna 6.1. Now my computer won't recognize the phone, the keyboard is all messed up, I can't use the internet on my phone, and I would like to have the my faves thing back on the home screen. Is there anyone that can give me some assistance on these issues? I would really appreciate it!
First, you need to delete the sync relationship from your PC, as you effectively have a new phone and you don't want any conflicts.
Second, you need to make sure you uncheck one of the USB settings. I don't recall which one, but do a search, the question's been asked numerous times before.
Third, now that you have your phone recognized by the PC, you can install the Tegic keyboard mapping cab. This fixes the keyboard issue. It's a sticky in this forum.
Finally, check out the Wiki for the Tzones settings so you can get back on the internet. This is also a sticky in this forum.
As for My Faves, it's no longer on the phone. You can change your My Faves settings online though.
Next time do a search... every one of your questions has been asked and answered before.
True but...
True these problems have been asked before but when I plug my phone in after doing what you had stated it says that windows has found driver software for my device but encountered an error while attempting to install it and that the requested device registry key does not exsist. I have found the stuff for the keyboard except I can't get my phone plugged in. Any suggestions?
no, really...ALL of this has been covered

do a little leg work..the answers are here.
I can not get my bank java application to either send sms or connect to internet for activation or transaction. Pls help.
Lol..
Edit; Removed this post. I do apologize, acting before thinking seldom brings good things. Might have been smart to check out your profile first, you are so right. The tallest man is the one who admits his errors. Have a nice day
I think he just believes there to be an error with "java" with this rom.
he is not asking us to do anything other than tell him how to fix the java.
Firstly you should not have made a new thread, should have asked it in the Rom thread where people are more likely to help.
Secondly java is working fine in 3.2
Did you install 3.2 after a wipe or straight from 3.1? if so that might be your problem
Thank you Lennyuk. That was exactly my problem. I actually installed 3.2 straight from a stock rom and while the java was okay as in the program runs, I was unable to get it to activate (needs and sms or gprs for that). It just stays there for ever either sending a message or connecting with no result.
My suspicion is that there is a permission issue or something.
And I have made a post in the main thread, but it appeared buried in the issue of MMS etc.
As for my dull friend who equates every Nigerian to a scammer, I advice that you look well sometimes before you leap. You can check my profile on this board, I have been here for a long time. Pls watch what you say to people, leaping at people like an alsatian dog on community forums like this does not portray you as civilized.
You may be right with the permission issues there, as for a fix I am not so sure. maybe you should try asking in the main forum again now as the mms issues have gone away.
Thanks, I have done it. But I will be glad if people who are experts in this can please check and advice me. Thanks
Try this:
Delete the "java" folder on your sdcard (NOTICE! You'll lose every java program installed already). Then reinstall them again. These actions may will bring them back to life. Make sure you can reinstall them before doing so.
BTW, Make sure your mms and internet connection work with other programs such as htc mail, original mms progam and etc... If they're simply not working, you may need to ask your provider about how to set them up.

Congratulations on bumping a thread from 7th March. This is a thread regarding the HTC Hero, which is an Android phone, and this is an ancient version of a ROM.
Please take your query elsewhere on xda where you may find an answer for your device.

My WP7 (Samsung Focus) Has been dev unlocked before, I am doing the SAME exact thing except it just decides its going to give me the error that its not plugged in or its zune is not opened which both are done.... I have no clue what is wrong I have tried everything but nothing is working.
Things I have tried include making my host files not read only, Reseting phone, Restarting computer, Restarting phone... I have been trying for about a week now and I decided to bite the bullet and ask for help
Welcome on the forum...
i suggest you use a function called: Search.
And browse the stickies.
Remember: you are not the first with a problem, or at least not the only one.
Asking for help is easy, using the search function does not irritate ppl.
Thanks.
Have you made sure that the lockscreen isn't showing? I'm pretty sure your phone has to be on the home screen.
