I have installed WM 5 on my XDA IIs about three hours back and since then trying very hard to make Activesync recognize my device. But alas!!! no luck...
When I put the device in the cradle, the Windows XP on my laptop detects a new device "Windows Mobile-Based Device" and asks me to install a driver. Ashtonishingly, the driver is not found automatically. So I tried for some time and found that it is looking for a file - rndismpx.sys. I searched my laptop for this file and found the file to be in \Windows\system32\drivers directory. I gave the path in the installation, but the installation aborts saying that the file is not found...
I have done the settings that the Wiki site said. But even after that my device is not being recognized by my laptop.
Any insights as to why is this happening... I did try and search the forum, but could not find anything specific.
Thanks,
Siddharth
Are you sure you're running Activesync 4.1 instead of 3.8?
I had the same problem too. But I didn t found a solution. Please help me too.
When connecting the artemis via usb vista installs the pocketpc-driver and mounts the filesystem into the workplace tree but you can't set it up via the new sync center. the device is just not in the list which makes it impossible to set up a syncing partnership. Any ideas?
glad
I does work. I sync my P3300 with Pre-RC1 5336, no problem. But you do have to download Windows Mobile Device Center. Neat program, looks much better than ActiveSync and does pretty much the same. Good luck!

Hmm, Windows Mobile Device Center is a fix part of the final version. I use the business version @work...

How right you are... To be exact... The WM Device Center is already there but you need the beta3 driver update to be compatible with the newest devices. Get it here.
glad
Update does not work...
Any time i try to install the Mobile Device Center Update i get an error message aborting the installation process:
"The update could not be installed because at least one Windows Component required by Windows Mobile Device Center is missing"...
Unfortunately, Vista won't tell which component that is. Any Ideas? I'm using Windows Vista Business N

Maybe the N-version (without MP11) misses a component or something... or try installing windows updates and try again. I suggest you use the final version, don't you (in fact it shouldn't matter...)?
Yes i guess you're right gladiac. It is the Final Version and even the Vista Experience Rate is unrated, because Vista can't perform the Test without the Media Components It is not only Media Player that is missing i think. Bluetooth File Transfer works, so it is not that urgent. Luckily the University i visit is part of the MSDNAA, which should provide me with Vista Ultimate in the next weeks. Hopefully Synching will run then ;P Windows Updates do not work... Well they work but don't fix the Problem
Thanks for your help
was wondering if anyone is having problems with bluetooth syncing?
I just post this thread in order to help others which are having the same problem as I am and to avoid looking arround on all the posts for this answer.
I'm so happy that I've not yet test this procedure wanted to share with you ASAP.
Thanks pvdhelm

Follow these instructions and your vista problem is over.
I used this guide and it works for my artemis p3300 phone!
Please try downloading the latest WMDC first before attempting anything in this section of the guides. you will find the latest version HERE .
To follow this guide please make sure you have a copy of WinRAR installed, I will refer to the Windows Mobile Device Centre as the WMDC for ease of reading. If you do not have the WMDC installed please go here to install it first.
One problem with windows VISTA is that it uses the new "Windows Mobile Device Centre" and not activesync which we are used to, thus our standard RUU programs will not upgrade our Hermes devices as in windows XP. This guide will show you how to configure VISTA to work just the same as XP with our RUU programs.
For this guide firstly you need to download the new drivers:
Drivers for Windows Vista x32
Drivers for Windows Vista x64
Please note the x64 drivers are unsigned so to use them successfully you must disable driver signing.
Extract the contents to a folder on your desktop, call this folder "AS_DRIVERS". It contains the drivers from activesync which we will use instead of the native VISTA WMDC drivers when the device is in bootloader.
Now you must enter the bootloader on your device, to do this press and hold both the side ok button and the power button then put your stylus into the hole on the bottom of the device, your device will reset and show the red blue green bootloader screen. LEAVE THE DEVICE IN BOOTLOADER MODE and connect it using the USB cable to your VISTA PC.
Now navigate into the WMDC (Start>All Programs>Windows Mobile Device Center) and click on the "connection settings" menu icon
In the connection settings menu untick "allow USB connections" then press OK.
Now exit the WMDC and return to the desktop, go into the start menu and type "Services", this will take you into the local services dialogue and show a list of all services either running or registered with your pc.
Scroll down the list and make sure these services are present:
Windows Mobile-based connectivity
Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity
If these services are not started then double click each one and set them to Automatic start by clicking the "startup-type" drop-down menu and selecting automatic then click the start button in the same window, apply the setting by pressing OK. Now return back to the desktop again.
Go into the start menu and type "Device Manager" then run, this will take you into the device manager. Click the "+" symbol next to "Mobile Devices" and double click on "HTC USB Sync".
This will bring up the properties of the currently connected device (the hermes in bootloader).
Go to the "Driver" tab and click "Update Driver".
Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".
Select "Let me pick from a list...."
Click the "Have Disk" button.
Click "Browse" and navigate to the AS_DRIVERS folder we created earlier.
Vista x32 users select the file "wceusbsh.inf"
Vista x64 users select the file "wceusbshx64.inf"
Then click Open.
click next and the driver will be installed (wait a moment).
Press close and escape back to the desktop now.
Now we must stop the WMDC process, start the task manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Escape.
click the WMDC line and click "End Process". In the confirmation window, again press End Process.
Now re-enter the WMDC and re-enable USB connections (click connection settings and tick the box "enable USB connections").
Your RUU programs for HardSPL/Radios/WM6 ROMs should now run as desired once you are synced with WMDC. Since we have updated the driver which vista uses when the device is in bootloader mode.
NOTE:: This technique is still in testing so if you have any issues please post in the official thread. Until we find another way to get RUU working with vista you may need to revert back to XP for upgrading your Artemis.

Just test it without any problem. I confirm the feasability of this procedure.
It rocks!
Always restart after before trying. It has worked with me.
Ha, Well I have tested and all works well, after this I've flashed USPL and B&B 3.7 ROM with no difficulty.
Now if I could only figure out why Mobile device Center will not install properly on my Vista Ultimate that I just 'upgraded' to today. It connected once, ran the sync but did not back up the contacts on my phone to outlook, and now on subsequent tries, the program wont open because of 'unknown problems'.
Maybe it's a sign to roll back to XP.
uninstall wmdc and then re-install. I had this error at first but fixed now.

I had a feeling, I did that procedure once already with redundant results....but then again, half of my peripherals such as DVD-ROM, or wireless card didn't work, but then miraculously started working just as I was about to teach my laptop how to fly.
I will keep trying, thank you.

I'm not sure if that is the problem, but did you tried after restart vista?
When I made the procedure it was not working and then tried to restart and it was perfect.
Bluetooth sync works fine, but USB won't load driver. WM5 OEM, so no bootloader on my 8525. Will this solve my USB problem?
Hmm .. tried to follow the process above and Vista told me I already had the most recent version of the driver .. strange huh ?

Agreed. Some 'versions' of windows Vista have WMDC built in, it is no good, uninstall WMDC and download the version from MS web site. Once installed run Windows Update.

I had this issue too, uninstall vista drivers first, then install those from XP.
I followed these directions to update my Himalaya/Alpine-like i-mate PDA2 with disappointing results -- at first. WMDC claimed there was an error and I could not get it to respond. I flounced away and pouted for a little bit, and when I came back decided the only thing I could think of to change now before re-installing WMDC altogether was to roll back the driver for the mobile devices (in device manager) and WA-LA! Pouting works! I am now able to sync and Klaus (the i-mate) plays nice with Bob (PC)... ah, household bliss!
Thanks!
i still cannot get my laptop to see the artemis when it is bootloader mode - i have the XP driver on!!!!
I would love to try it, but does anybody have a german manual, or a translation program that translates Windows English into Windows German?
Hello, i've installed WMDC 6.1, but i can't create a partership with the PDA.
When i connect it this error apears in eventviewer.
Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code).
thanks

... have you read the article? you need to create new backups on ur Artemis, then try syncing again.
what kind of computer?
I needed to get a hotfix from microsoft for my sony vaio for wmdc to work...
So i have searched the forum, and i saw that to hack the HD2 with WM7 on it your must install XAP, Chevron, zune bla bla bla. But i don't undersand it...
For the first step i read the Chevron topic : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857127
And performed the following steps :
1. Unzip file, and attach chevronwp7.cer (see below for file) to an e-mail to yourself
2. Open email in WP7
3. Tap attachment once, turns it into a shield, tap it again, goes to install certificate screen with white letters on black screen
4. Click install at the bottom
Now the rest steps the registry i cant find this folder "ProxyPorts" and even if i create it, the 6,7,8 steps don't work, the .exe said that the phone is not connected, and so like zune, no device detected.
What to do ? I want to sync my PC , i have 2 OS, XP SP3 and Win7 (notebook) . On wich of them to sync my phone, what are the correct steps ?
I want to upload movies, music , custom ringtones in my phone, and to upload from my HD2 my photos and videos into PC.
Please...
Tired of searching the google, the xda forum and other topics, that give abstract tips and advices...
have you installed the wp developer tools? that is suppose to edit your registry for you.
No, can you "light" me up with all the correct steps ? Please
you will have to use the win7 comp.
here is the link to the site for the tools...http://create.msdn.com/en-US/
check out this thread as it shows everything ya need to knw
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916497
I must install these : http://create.msdn.com/en-us/home/getting_started
and that's it ?
yes to be able to use the un-locker and to be able to deploy xaps...but not to use zune
god, again im confused. Usualy i understand everything, and no problems with ios, with androids , wm < 7.
I put those tools, then what unlocker and what xap ? Links maybe or something -_- thanks
well first start by installing the tools before try to do anything else.
then the unlocker allows you to unlock your device install apps, and the apps are a .xap file

There are 3 links :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QolhT5LXgGo
In this video i show you how to jailbreak and sideload apps to your windows phone 7 device.
ZUNE SOFTWARE
http://www.mediafire.com/?pesqg3asdoghea3
WP7 Unlock Tools
http://www.mediafire.com/?r3cx4mfeecuieo0
Only the first ? Or all of them?
that just shows you how to do it, but have you installed the tools yet?
They are now installing on my notebook with win 7 (10 of 13) of them installed, waiting
After that i make the unlock like in the first youtube link ? or what?
yes thats correct
Oh, i installed annd WP7 unlock tools, then i connect my phone with the notebook thru usb, runnning ChevronWP7.exe, and the pc says : Sory im having trouble comm with the phone Please make sure its con with usb - please start the zune application.
What should i do ?
you have to have zune running and have you phone named and account must be main and not guest account
So, i have registered now an account on zune, and now installing zune.
What do you mean by i need to have my phone named?
ok, now i synced it, named, executed ChevronWP7.
Lets see
Ok, so i executed Tom XAP installer, and appears an error :
Unhandled exception has occured blablabla
Acces to the registry key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xap" is denied
DETAILS \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ CONTINUE \\\\\\\\\\\ QUIT,
pressed continue, and then appeared a box, with a checkbox , after that i pressed X to close the window, follow in the WP7 3MktPlace folder > Downloads > and the files with .xap are not associated what should i do ?
FIXED, I opened the .xap files with the TOM XAP insaller, and then insalled them. All works well. Thank you , jasontac
Is there something i should do ? or its all about it ? now just uploading the phone with all the files i need ?
and btw how i upload for example a video file from the phone in my pc?
it is in the setting in zune, but should do it when you connect to it
