my activesync cant connect with WM 2005

Help why my activesync cant connect with my PPC?
Thanks

Did you use xp sp2 and activesync 4?

I used to have ActiveSync 4.0 problems too... Device manager detected the device but failed to install driver.
In my case it started working once I swaped the cradle's USB connector to another USB jack with the PDA in the cradle.
Windows XP found the "new" device and installed properly this time... Now I can Synch fine through USB.
Also some say that you need to change something on you PPC, so go to Start/Settings/Conenctions/Network Cards and select "Remote-NDIS Host" and change it to "Server-assigned IP address" and then Ok, Ok, Ok...
I hope this helps you...

WM6 (Schaps 4) and WMDC not syncing?

Has anyone had a problem with WMDC not syncing?
It starts to sync, but never completes - just stays on the 'Syncing' status.
It was fine before I upgraded ROM's - but I had to install the driver linked from the Vista upgrade section at MrVanx's.
Anyone had a similar problem?

Have you tried disabling 'Advanced Network Functionality' in
Start\Settings\Connections\USB to PC
?

Yeah, doesn't affect it. HTC USB Sync is no longer there in device manager though?
Just managed to sync it fine on my works PC (XP), so it must my WMDC or the USB Driver. I've already reinstalled WMDC though

i had the same problem..but i just reconnect and it works

Same problem
I have the same problem. In fact, after going to 4.0 Vista 64-bit now says it doesn't recognize the USB device.
I did disable the advanced network functionality as well.
Any solutions?

fixed!
Ahh... what I needed to do with vista 64 was to disable the driver signing enforcement.
this link shows you how for vista 64
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1429/vista_disable_digital_driver_signing_enforcement
or I have posted the instructions here.
Turn off Digital Driver Signing Check in Vista:
1. Create a shortcut on the desktop to cmd.exe
(this recipe explains how to create a shortcut if you don't know how)
2. Right-click on the shortcut and select Run as administrator
3. When the command window opens, type or paste the following and press ENTER:
Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON
4. Reboot and then try installing the driver.

Cheers for the reply, but i've the latest drivers from MS now - which are signed.
Oddly enough it works fine on another Vista PC, just this one seems buggered. I managed to get it working eventually by disabling enhanced network functionality and leaving windows to install a newer driver.
But on my other Vista machine I can sync it with this enabled. Odd

My PC can't find the TP2

Hey there,
I try to synch my PC with my tp2. I own a PC with Vista and I plugged the TP2 on it. Bute the winmo device center can't find the tp2, so I can't put any files on my phone. The phone is charged via USB, so there should be a connection, but I can't find it in the explorer as a mass storage device...
Is it possible I did something wrong or can you help me fix this problem?
Bye,
Christopher

In connection settings do you have the option to "Allow USB Connections" enabled? make sure that box is ticked.

connect the device first and then open up the winmo device center. it's the only way it works for me.

Swith this checkbox off in the settings: Advanced connections.

When you connect your phone to your pc, open up the device manager and you should find an unknown device in the list. If oyu right click on it, go to update drivers, and then when the wizard comes up, you need to point it to a specific location...
If you then point it to the folder where the mobile device center is installed then it should find the necessary drivers and suddenly your pc will have found your phone
Certainly, this is how I have to do it with active sync on my pc at work (for some reason since connecting my TP2 - previously it had my TyTNII connected - it doesn't automatically recognise the device in terms of using the right drivers).

i had a similar issue, it was zonealarm. Try it with firewall turned off.

Hi all,
I have the same Active Sync connectivity issues, and they happen quite often, I should say... I did some investigation on my own, and after some digging (and talking to some friends), I managed to discover where the problem lies.
It seems that Windows Vista's Active Sync service get's kinda "numb" sometimes... and to "wake" it up, we have to start and stop the service. Here's my workarround:
Before we start, and since you may need use "start" and "stop" the Active Sync service quite often, I suggest you create a batch file (just create a normal text file and rename it to .bat after saving it) containing the following:
net stop rapimgr
net start rapimgr
With this file you'll be able to restart the service with just 2 clicks (followed by a "Y" and the Enter key).
Here are 5 simple steps:
1. After a failed connection attempt, close Windows Mobile Device Center and disconnect your TP2 from USB;
2. Run the batch file you created previously, and wait a couple of seconds after the DOS window disappears;
3. Reconnect the TP2 to USB and wait a few seconds (considering all the TP2 drivers were already automatically installed, if not, wait for them to install);
4. On your TP2, select the Active Sync option. On your PC, open My Computer and you should see your TP2 appear (if not already there ). At this point the Active Sync connection is already established;
5. Open Windows Mobile Device Center and wait a few seconds for the software to "wake up". The software should Connect to your TP2 successfully.
Et voilá. You're all set to replicate via Active Sync, and to transfer files to and from your device via Windows Explorer.
Repeat the process everytime the connection fails (which in my case, it happens quite often ). If it doesn't work the first time, try again, and if it's still not working... there's not much you can do besides restarting your PC and try all over again (blame Microsoft, not me ).
For the Disk Drive not connecting issue, you might want to to take a look into your Windows Device Manager > Storage > Disk Management and check if you can see your memory card in there.
When connected using the Disk Drive option on your TP2, it behaves like any other USB disk/pen drive, and it can be conflicting with another drive letter that already exists on the system (it's stupid but it happens quite often). To solve this particular issue, just change the drive letter associated with the TP2 memory card (it should have no drive letter associated if conflicting) to an available drive letter (right after your CD/DVD-ROM drives). Click OK ando this issue is solved.
Hope it helped...
P.S.: I also have ZoneAlarm (latest version - original copy) with max security definitions, and I can assure you that it has nothing to do with this issue.

It's terrible - tried every suggestion mentionned, but it just won't help.
When trying to update the driver, I can point to c:\windows\WindowsMobile\Drivers, but it won't find a suitable driver.
(I think the driver in Serial should be used, but it won't let me!)
Tried removing and installing WinMobile many times, removing the 'Unknown device' etc., but it just won't help!
This is a problem on every computer I tried with several cables.
However, the device did connect correctly when I still had WM6 on it. Flashed various ROMs from Miri, but for every ROM it's the same problem...

be sure you have checked the "synchronize all computers with connection" and drop down menu "usb" in active sync in your PDA (located in settings tab / active sync - menu/connections)
the naming can warry cause i don't use english wm

Thanks, but of cause I already checked this.
Besides, this should not change the useage of the device as remote disc.
Also, I noticed with the ROM from Atom that the device stops charging as soon as the PC sees something is connected to the USB post. (I only get an unknown device message and that's the only device that is 'installed')

Trouble syncing Tilt and Tilt 2 with Windows Mobile Device Center
I have two laptops and two cell phones. I can sync with the Windows XP laptop with no problem, however, I can't sync with the Vista computer at all. I've even tried reformatting the Vista laptop, but can't get it to sync. I've tried uninstalling the driver for the connection through the Device Manager as well as the Windows Mobile Device Center. Then reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center and the driver. I've checked the cable and USB port. They work for everything else I can throw at them, but can't get them to sync. Windows Mobile Device Center does not show any devices connected (either Tilt or Tilt2). Any advice?
Laptop 1
Windows XP SP3
Activesync version 4.5
Microsoft Outlook 2007
Laptop 2
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
Windows Mobile Device Center
Outlook 2007
Cell phone 1
AT&T Tilt
Windows Mobile version 6.1
AT&T Tilt 2
Windows Mobile version 6.5

Any update for the connection problems?
Here it still does not work; the device is still not seen as mobile device, but as 'unknown device'.

Windows 7 sync problem

My Touch Pro 2 used to sync fine with my old PC running XP, but I seem to be having great problems getting it recognised on my new PC running Windows 7.
I've downloaded Windows Mobile Device Centre 64 bit, but when I connect the phone via USB, it isn't recognised at all and fails to install the correct driver - hence I can't sync.
Any suggestions greatfully appreciated!

I had the same problem
It seems to be 64bit windows 7 only.
Device cannot start code 10 right?
I ended up updating the BIOS on my computer and it fixed the problem. The BIOS update for my computer (core i7 870) had a fix for intel chipset and Iphone sync. Maybe it fixed for win7 64bit and titl2? I don't know if it was coincendece or from rebooting my phone with the reset button.
At any case, it is working now without an update to the phone itself.

I had the same problem, upgraded the BIOS...and still have the same problem. It will work, however, if I shut the phone radio off and start the sync from the handset. I think there is some conflict with sync from the exchange server. Standalone, it works just fine.

i have win7 x64 on my laptop. first time i plugged in my tp2 it displayed an error saying the device driver wasn't installed. then i opened action center and checked for solutions, the driver for windows mobile phone installed and the problem was solved...

I've noticed a similar issue when connecting to my laptop (Win7 x64). After connecting the phone, I get the "usb connect" sound but Device Center doesn't always start. However, I can see the phone connected in "My Computer".
Rebooting my laptop always allows Device Center to start the first time. But when I plug my phone in a second time, Device Center doesn't start.
I did notice that if I create the partnership the first time, Device Center seems to start more regularly than if I don't create the partnership...so maybe that's got something to do with it?

Upgrading your rom on Windows Vista And Windows 7

Follow these instructions and your vista and 7 problems is over...
I used this guide and it works on my phone..

One problem with windows VISTA and 7 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/7 x32 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33662&d=1169888879
Drivers for Windows Vista/7 x64 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33892&d=1170385335
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/7 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.
Can this be made a Sticky please..??

Followed your Steps on Win7 x64 but WMDC doesnt connect do my device although I re-enabled USB connections. Digital Driver signing is disbaled.
No it did work, I just didnt get it
Write this into the wiki plx, really helpful.

All done till the driver installation.
But start from task manager and so on, it's failed to connect.
Am i doing wrong?

Just try to flash, at my side WMDC shows no connections either but flashing is possible.

After i installed the drivers then i started WMCD and re-enable USB connections and then took out my cable out of the phone then put it back in and it connected..

Method with no install
What I have been doing with Win7 without installing any drivers is
- Put phone in bootloader mode (press power and left OK button while pressing the reset button on bottom)
- Start the RUUWrapper
This of course assumes that you have hardSPLed the phone and select the right options, no autodetect
This is what I have been doing for a while now, I dont recall updating any drivers or activesync/mobile center
