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

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.
Geoff

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

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 thought I mentioned it in the first line.
Anyway, thanks for your reply!!
Still waiting for answers!!

Try this,
Go to Setting - Connection > USB to PC
Uncheck the "enable advanced network functionality" checkbox

I tried that!
But no good!
Anyway, thanks for your reply!!

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....

Help: I cannot Sync my i780 at all

Hello every one...
I got a very interesting problem.. I cannot Sync my i780 completely... !!
I'm running Windows Vista Enterprise on my Laptop, and installed Windows Mobile Device Center..
even though I can connect in USB mode, and detects my phone as USB flash drive...!
Everything was working before.. and suddenly stopped working!!!
I reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center, hard reset my device.. and no good..
Then I gave it a last chance and tried on my PC with Vista Business fresh installation, and interestingly it did detect my device, and be able to establish a partnership!!
but I'm doing all my work on my laptop because of the job's demands.. and of course will not reinstall windows just to get the mobile device center to work..
Any ideas, help or hint, will be really appreciated.. it is urgently needed
Thanx in advance...

Suspect your laptop DHCP Client has disabled

What I am suspecting is your laptop DHCP Client has disabled. In the future if you face this problem again just make sure that DHCP Client service status in services.msc

Well.. The DHCP Client service is working.. it wasn't disabled before...
also I restarted the service.. and again no good.. cannot Sync neither through Bluethooth nor USB..!!
any more ideas??

what is your rom version?
If you use HH5 you should check utillity setting in program and change connection by cable from USB to active sync

I didn't flash my ROM at all by the way.. and it is set to ActiveSync not to USB I didn't miss that =)
hope that there is a solution out there.. =S because it is really mandatory for me to get some of my job done...
thanx in advance

Try turning off "advanced network functionality" in the USB connectivity settings.
Slows the transfer down a lot but whenever I'm having problems it works without fail.

But I don't have USB to PC option.. it just says how is the USB connection mode.. ActiveSync or Storage Mass.. and this is it.. probably I got different ROM.. very important thing here to note.. I didn't touch my ROM didn't reflash or upgrade..
Also I was digging for Advanced Network to disable but couldn't find any were.. =(

That's odd because my stock i780 (has DXHE1 on it) has the option for it.
I've had occasions where Activesync will just stop working for no reason and then come back to life a little later... I have no idea why.
Sorry mate, but I'm out of ideas...

Don't be sorry man.. =)
Thanx for your effort and time.
Probably I will reinstall the system after a while then =)
Best Regards

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

Go to Settings-> system -> about -> Device ID
also make sure that you delete any previous sync info from your computer

after you are able to sync again,the activesync green and yellow icon will pop up on your task bar just open it and delete the old partnership.

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.

USB to PC setting problems

It's been some days since I can't sync my dash using ActiveSync. It won't recognize the device.
I've been trying to change the advanced networking setting in the USB to PC menu, but I can't open it.
There is an error that says: "The settings could not be opened".
I want to avoid the hard-reset. Any ideas on how to access the connections menu to restore the syncing functionality?

Are you using windows xp or windows vista?

I've tried both of them, and none works. I've also read some reports that this has happened before, but didn't find a solution for it.
I'm hoping someone has a solution since a hard-reset is such a pain in the as*. I haven't upgraded rose roms just because the time invested in my current setup is way too much.

Simple fix just dont download Active Sync your missing something else that needs to install the Usb Drivers for your phone to??? You need to download the Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx This was the easiest way to solve my problems.

If that was the problem... but as I said I can't open the USP to PC settings page no matter what, and that's the first thing I'd like to get working.

Sounds like a hard-reset moment if you can't open USB to PC, then there could be other issues anyway... Bite the bullet hard-reset be up and running in no time and one step closer to working out what the issue is or it will be solved.
