Hi,
I have VISTA RC1, everytime I try to load any rom I get connection error...any ideas how can I fix that?
Yeah .. switch back to XP. I've tried for days to upgrade from Vista and didn't succeded ... at a time I thought that my UNiversal has gone .... but when I tried again on an XP based system it worked flawlessly.

Same observations:
I have tried with vista ultimate final (msdn) with windows mobile device center beta-3 (because vista have'nt any activesync-like program) -vista can't recognise Universal in bootloader mode.
I found a resolution: format c: and reinstall any xp. (Or buy a second PC with xp)
Vista can't recognise the Uni, oh the irony.
M$ used the Uni as the showpiece for their all singing all dancing WM5 platform didn't they?

perhaps you can use the search function next time, there are a few more topics about this problem
How can we flash new ROM's onto the Universal in Windows Vista? I tried flashing PDAViet 2.00.04 to my Universal and recieved a 101 connection error. I went to the activesync website and it wouldnt install because it said that windows vista already has some tool that has outdated activesync.... well why isnt it working then?
on vista there's no more activesync but Mobile device Center
http://www.laboratoire-microsoft.org/whitepapers/17844/
Nope tried that. Wasnt working although just now I have just flashed PDAViet ROM on my Universal. Windows detects it fine and even sync's with it.
I have just tried Helmi's AKU 3.5 again and it flashed fine.
Once you've got WMDC up and runnign the sync works fine (even office 2007! Woohoo) but icant flash anything and have to use my old XP machien to do it on!
Maybe it depends on the version of the no-id flasher you use?
I tried to flash the device while in bootloader mode and wouldnt work. Does anyone know why sometimes your device remains in bootloader mode even after a soft reset? Its like there wasn't any ROM on the device? Even after a hard reset the device wont go out of the bootloader mode.
I couldnt flash My Universal, using WMDC in vista RTM. It simply doesnt work, i heard, and i think it does make sence, that the Actual Rom Update utilities are simply uncompatible with Vista. I think we will have to wait until Vista is Oficialy releast, wich is not that far away. But then, i think we will also have to wait till one of our Providers will release a new ROM, with a new Update Utility.

That happened to me as well on a numerous ocasions, its really annoying. I didnt really mind though, coz i was about to flash it anyway, and then it always got back to normal.
I dont know what to say... just be careful with what you are doing.

I´m using the Vista Business Version (Final).
My Universal would not sync so i downloaded and installed this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6a-a72d-4aef-9663-31ce2fefbada&DisplayLang=en
Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3 for Windows Vista (x86)
It´s working now.
I have that installed too. It was installed during a Auto-update. Still wont update the device while in bootloader mode.
There is no driver in vista that presents the device as \\.\WCEUSBSH001 device. So the upgrade utilities cannot communicate with it.
I've tried to use the drivers from XP64, but they don't work (i'm using 64-bit vista enterprise).
not yet
I tried using Vista Ultimate x64, but no way using Windows Mobile Device Center beta 4. Xp still better for flashing devices, maybe in a few weeks we are going to test new dev tools.
heyy ppl i can't upgrade/flash my universal rom's in vista as well :-( i just upgraded my laptop to vista ultimate and well, i had downgraded my phone from AKU 3.5 to an orange branded latest rom from Orange website, now i wanna flash it to Crossbow but vista won't let me..maybe the developers here can cook something up for flashing in vista ? Anybody ?

Of course, I will tell you if I solve it.
Hi,
You may have heard this problem many times, I tried to upgrade my ROM and it failed a few seconds in because for some insane reason the phone rebooted during the upgrade, It now says USB on the top and v1.00, Tried hard reset but does not work, I have also tried to reflash the rom but I am using MS vista that uses an alternative to Activesync, so the upgrade says 202 connection error, Please can anyone help me!!!!

you need to downgrade your drivers... there's a way of doing it, but I've never done it myself, so you'll need to find someone else who has.

Activesync wont install on Vista, which to be honest would probably work fine it is stupid M$ prohibiting it to install,
The computer will detect the phone, it says Microsoft USB Sync, does it need to be a ceartain driver for this to work?
Really need help on this! Computer recognises PDA says Microsoft USB Sync, What is the correct driver, the updater is not recognising the phone
Please anyone if you have even a small idea please post it!!! PLEASE!

Yeah, sorry it took a while, for some reason this thread only popped up as new today???? strange...
For your problems... uninstall ActiveSync... reduntant in Vista, there the new WMDC (I take it you realise this?). After uninstall, connect your device and it will install WMDC with the appropriate updates, then you have to check this thread here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723.
That thread may be dated and there may be a newer one, but there were many people using it successfully and I was one of them until I downgraded again to XP. Hope it helps.
BTW, Vista sucks A$$, it's just not ready for driver and program release, and if you get an independant memory and CPU monitor, it'll show you that the built in one lies through it's teath!!! But hey, each to it's own. Regards.
plz tell me dear how we connect in a dead stage
Other option would be to flash the ROM using a machine with XP, wich I find more easy than in vista
Hope it helps,
When I tried it in Vista I had a similar problem, I tried it on an XP machine no problems, am using Win7 now but dont know if upgrading the ROM will work yet, a bit risky.
I previously flashed my Vario II using my laptop which runs XP. But I was wondering if the latest version of SyncCenter for Vista (I'm running 32 bit Ultimate) can flash without added drivers?
Cheers.
Bobby
Yeah, that would be interesting to know.
I upgraded 2 days ago to Vista Business and installed the lates Windows Mobile Device Center.
I've read the guide from Mr Vanx about the different Drivers, but is this still necessary?
I actually was able to flash using Vista without doing anything special. I just clicked the file and away it went. I did maybe 3 cooked roms and the latest AT&T rom four times without any issues.
If you have WMDC 6.1 installed, you should be able to flash fine

I've got vista withouth WMDC and I'm able to flash okay too.
So there is nothing needed anymore, just plug it in and flash away.

the drivers mrvanx mentions are not necessary for WMDC 6.1 but are necessary for WMDC 6!!
When installing WMDC 6.1, uninstall the previous version, connect phone, then install and it will install a new set of drivers for the phone.
one thing to note tho, when flashing with vista the only way i get it to work is to use this SPL : 2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7), already have the phone in bootloader (3 colour bars) then plug into usb, then when flashing select the options in the screen shot, then flash. (to be honest i dont select the "is it Hard-SLP?" box and i never have a problem, but i dnt want to be blamed for anyone screwing up theri phone!!)
When I sync my dash with my Vista Desktop, I see the following errors at times
Notification - Cannot execute Tskschedule.exe
- Cannot execute repllog.exe
- Cannot execute connmgr.exe
- Cannot execute calnote.exe
Anyone seen these errors. I downgraded to Windows Mobile Device Center 6.0 on Vista, but I still see the error. I did not see them in brightpoint ROM.
If I disconnect & reconnect to the usb, it works, but I do get these errors every other time..
Thanks in advance
what are you using to sync? activesync doesn't work with vista.
I am using Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1
I reverted back to the old ROM (Brightpoint) and now I dont see those errors.
Anyone here using win 6.1 ROM and has synced with their VISTA desktop successfully ?
-Thanks

First of all I hate VISTA...
Second no problem in WindowsXP with my WM6.1 ROM
Third Tskschedule.exe is only added from WM6.1,so maybe vista haven't get ready to support WM6.1
Kavana .. I could not agree more. I have it working on XP. But it has been frustrating on VISTA
btw, Thanks a ton for the ROM..
-sunjay
has there been any progress with this... as my vista laptop will not see my dash anymore
I got the same problem as Sunjay. Now only can connect with Vista/WMDC6.1 by luck. I got 2 Excaliburs, the one with Original WM5 never has problems connecting with Vista/WMDC6.1.
I am still researching.. Have not made much headway yet.
From what I understood from reading other forums on similar issues. There my be duplicate Notifications which may be causing this.. However, I did try using SKTools (demo version), and went thru notification events to check for duplicates, There were a couple of entries for the same program, but they seem to occur for different conditions.
I have also posted in the Micro$oft forums, hoping to get some clue
-Thanks
very odd....
On whim, I re-installed WMDC 6.1 (x64) downloaded directly from the MS download center... and all of a sudden no more problems/ The only thing, is the WMDC recognizes the phone as a dopod 720w. But it works a treat...
I hope that helps (the x86 wdmc 6.1 is also available... but you probably new this)
I will give it a shot and see if it help. In the meantime, Please post if it works or fails after your prolonged use..
-Thanks

I did get this error and i was using WinXP Activesync v 4.5 . but i only got it once. and only once. i just thought it was a glitch , but now it seems this may be some sort of issue, just that it doesn't happen often enough for me to downgrade back to WM 6.0 ... if it starts to happen again i will re-post
Update: I guess i spoke to soon. It happened again, but something that i was doing on my PC both times it happened was i had windows media player opened on my PC and i was playing a video stream at the same time on media player. Coincedence?

very interesting:
two questions: what OS are you using (xp or vista) and what edition of WMDC center are you using (6.1)?

I did look, and the aforementioned is what had me confused... as the OP was regarding VISTA. I was trying to simply ascertain if the problem was not "OS-centric" and was occurring on multiple OS'
Which I guess it is...
Sorry for the confusion... as the solution that I happened along to was vista only.

I know you're looking for a vista fix. just know that are also issues similar when using win XP too . Although they may not be directly linked together , nor will the fix for both OS's neccessarily be the same. these might end up being the same problem, but different ways to create the problem, thus different fixes for the problem, depending on your OS
Lastly, this may have something to to with what i call "interoperability with 3rd party programs on a new OS" issues. Sometimes certain "combinations of programs" installed on a phone can create these issues.
This happened for me using XP as well, I don't really know what the issue is, because it synced properly before.
It works now !!
I got it to work now Thanks to Poser's suggestion in the earlier post. This is what I did
- De-install everything from VISTA which is windows mobile related (WMDC 6.1 & it had an entry for some mobile driver update)
- Rebooted the desktop
- Downloaded the WMDC 6.1 from download.microsoft.com. The filename is drvupdate-x86.exe for WMDC 6.1
- Installed the above software & rebooted.
- Has synced everytime since without errors.
I will post back if I see any errors..
Thanks
@Pudge - gotcha. Yeah sometimes to many "cooks" can spoil the soup...
I hope that you can find a fix.... have you considered upgrading to XP sp3 (I think you can dig up torrents and/or reg hacks to allow you to see it via Windows update). Also a re-install of active sync could be in order
@Sunjay... sweet dude, let me know if it continues to remain stable.
