sync problems - HTC Excalibur

I can't sync my phone to my pc anymore. I had flashed ROM][** 3VOLUTION series **][WM6.5 STD 21234][Latest Build 3VO.1.20.061209 RC1] and all the patches. It was working well then It began to lock-up on me. When I reset it it would say "No Service". After several soft-resets it would either say "T-Mobile" and let me make calls or say "Phone off" and not allow me to turn the radio on. I'd have to reset it 5-6 times. So I went back to WM6 by fashing in bootloader since my pc would not sync with my phone in normal mode. I still can't sync. I've tried reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center, restarting my pc. Please help

Solution
After alot of web-searching if found out my data cable was the cause. It was slightly bent causing a bad connection. I had a extra cable and now I sync with no issues. Tried it with 3 different ROMS on 2 Dashs'. Here is the post that made my Father's Day.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=229565

Yet another Mobile Device Error

Sorry guys i have searched but havent found this problem before
sync cannot be started because you are not able to log on to the network and access information. Restart your dektop computer and sync again. if the problem persists, contact your network admin.
Well restarted comp and phone and nothing, worse thing is it is happening on 2 different computers same error msg, one vista is preloaded on my laptop the other downloaded, ive ttried downloadloading the app again and again even different sources,
anyone seen this and able to shed some light on the situation really need to sync.

I havenĀ“t heard of this problem before. One thing you can try is to remove the CHECK MARK in START > Settings > Connections > USB to PC and UNCHECK Enable advanced network function.

USB Sync stopped working?!?!?

Nothing has changed but all of a sudden a few days ago I cant get sync to my PC to work. I tried enabling and disabling the 'advanced network' portion in the USB Connection on the phone, but neither works. Also did a power cycle on PC and Phone, still no go.
Any ideas? Thanks
any ideas?
"I tried enabling and disabling the 'advanced network' portion in the USB Connection on the phone"
I was thinking to tell you that :\,it solved my problem before.
well, backup ur stuff and try a hard reset?
Im at a point where I could probably do this but will just suck if it happens again in a month or two. No one else out there has had similar issues not resolved by changing the USB mode?
Thanks all

USB Sync not working, Charge only

I am trying to upload a new ROM to my phone but i am having problems with it being recognised by my PC.
Firewall is switched off on my PC.
USB to PC settings on phone set to prompt me and default to ActiveSync.
PC not finding the Memory Card also as a drive.
Hard-Reset also performed with no joy.
Nothing is happening however other than charging. This is the same on all PC's i have tried.
Any ideas how i can get it working??

If you find a solution, tell me!
Mine won't sync either, no matter what I try, so I've resorted to using a BT USB for syncing/file transfer. I have to flash via SD card and won't be able to use Task29 until it's set up to work via SD card either.

You can enter bootloader and then plug in the usb. This way you don't need to sync with active sync Task29 runs this way.

Nope, that won't work for me. When I enter the bootloader, it says 'serial' in the white portion at the bottom instead of 'usb'. No amount of hard resets clears this up for me.
Thanks, though.

There's good news and bad...
I had this problem, the good news is that I think it's fixed now, the bad news is it involve a trip to HTC. I flashed back to stock and still had the problem, called HTC who agreed it was probably a h/w fault, they piucked it up, repaired it and it's in a UPS van on it's way back to me as I type.
Until it comes back I can't confirm they really have repaired it, or what they've done to fix it.

Thanks so much, Gordon. Please let me know how it worked out for you and what costs were involved.
I'm sure, at some point, I will have to bite the bullet and get mine fixed as well.

I have the same problem.
After all, I find that the USB port of the phone is bad, i.e. some pins are brocken.
After changing the USB port, I solved the problem.

Just to make sure, did you set Activesync to use the slower method? When I upgraded my ROM I had to use the slow method in order for my Windows 7 to see the new ROM.
guys i have the same prob and i bought it from USA unlocked Stock Asian Rom and Now i am in Pakistan.I had some major issues with it.It just stopped syncing one day.Have tried everything.The battery usage also increased dramatically(it dies in 10 hrs after a full recharge)I thought it was a virus but now i think its hardware.I think i'll send it for warranty claim.
I just went through this on my VZW TP2. A month ago it began syncing slowly or not at all, very sporadic, and after messing with it for two hours it began working again. I tried everything except a hard-reset, including reinstalling ActiveSync, changing cables, etc. It happened again earlier in the week and an hour with HTC on the phone couldn't revive it. I called VZW and had a new phone in two days, and we're now up and running again.
I tried BT sync at one time but didn't like having to click multiple times to get it going every time I got within range. There doesn't seem to be a way to have it sync automatically or with one button.
I have the Tmo TP2 and SAME issue, I luckily am getting a new one from Tmo, but I am really starting to think something more is going on here........... I am not convinced ALL OF US, even a lot on PPC geeks, same exact issue? different carriers? come on........... I am glad I am getting a new one, but I would really love to know the root cause of this. IT SEEMS VERY VERY VERY MUCH LIKE THE "TRANSFER DATA" option if "turned off" (if you will), not a physical hardware failure. Kinda like you can turn that option off in windows to not allow USB storage devices to connect, you can still connect other devices (mice, keyboards) or charge things (like our phone) but the computer will NOT see it there at all!!! I really think something like that is happening IN our phones!!! hundreds of us bend the same pin(s). Too wierd.
I hade the same problem!
After trying everything I finally opened up the phone. In the phone I found some dust particles on the usb pins on the board, I cleaned it up and now the sync works again.
NO Sync with Windows 7
I have the same issue with my Win 7 machine...... PC does not even see the Phone at all. Plug it into my Windows XP machine and it's perfect, connects everytime, using the same cable. i have tried everything i can find on the internet and multipal forums, still no Joy! Works great on Win xp, so i think it is a problem with win 7 drivers.....
Still searching for an answer........
Oh, by the way it was working for months, just stopped one day....i even wiped out my pc and reloaded it, no Joy!
I'm starting to have the same issues on my AT&T Tilt 2 but sporadically. Every now and then I lose the phone in MS activesync. I have to delicately place the phone on the table and gently insert the USB cable into the back of the phone in order for it to sync up with my PC. If I move any of the cables or phone, it will drop the connection. I tied several different cables and PC's so I ruled that out. The problem seems to be the USB port on the phone.
Its been almost a year since I've had this phone so I want to get that fixed. If I were to call AT&T and inform them of this would they replace the phone or would they fix the problem with the port and send me the phone back?

I'm not sure what your warranty is from AT&T, but HTC normally has a 15 month warranty on the device. Go through AT&T if you can first. The carriers will normally ship you a replacement device before you send yours in. HTC's repair process is generally very lengthy as they actually repair your device and then send it back to you rather than shipping you a refurbished unit like carriers normally do.
As far as it not connecting, try a different connection method like BirdieSync and Thunderbird. I use this combo on my PC (W7 Pro x64), and it works wonderfully every time.

Having problems with my Tilt2

I flashed a ROM onto my device on Friday. Have had no problems except for slight sluggishness due to me running multiple programs. I soft reset my phone and then do a battery pull after very bad sluggishness and freezing. When I powered back up I couldn't access my contacts or my text message tab. I did the same thing again and then I couldn't access my phone tab. I have no service but it says I am connected. I went into my connections tab and made sure i was connected to GSM which I was. The only thing I haven't done is a hard reset, and I am using CELL ROM. Anyone have any ideas?

Lost ability to Fast Charge, Can't Connect to PC

Hey all. This happened a few weeks ago and I am just getting around to troubleshooting.
My phone stopped being able to QuickCharge. Checked multiple adapters, Nada. Factory defaulted the phone . No change. Updated to latest version of Extreme. No Change.
Normal charging works
I was looking to reinstall stock so I can test and call in warranty support, but the device will not connect to my PC or any PC for that matter. Tested multiple cables and machines. There is no notification that pops up telling me it is charging or allowing me to change the connection method. I went into Dev options to force it, but it is still not recognized by any machine, using known good cables.
How do I get back to as close to stock as possible, mainly to remove any issues I'd have with warranty support if I cannot plug my phone into my PC to go back to stock?
** Updated. I've just flashed the stock rooted rom after wiping everything and no change.
