I have the same problem. After Hard reset my Orbit won't sync with PC. Is possible Rom is broken etc? I tried Sync with 3 computers :/
Can I upgrade/change ROM with bluetooth Sync?
For those of you who are using one PC, try deleting the partnership in ActiveSync or WMC & ensuring the LAC is set to enabled
I'm trying to set up a sync with my work PC, using a standard mini-USB cable (i.e. not the one supplied with the TP2). My home PC syncs fine using a standard cable, but my work PC is saying "USB Device not recognised" when I connect the TP2.
Does anyone have any ideas for how I can fix this?
TIA
Does your works pc have activesync 4.5 installed on it?
Mine gave a similar error until I put it on. You will need administrator priveledges to install
Yes ActiveSync 4.5 is installed - I was previously syncing with my old phone (Eten Glofish M700)
I just managed to resolve it:
- killed the Activesync tasks in task manager (anything beginning with wce*)
- restarted ActiveSync
- deleted the sync settings from my last phone
- plugged the TP2 in again.
hey presto....
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'.
I'm not sure what i did but when I plug my phone into my Vista equipped laptop, it gives me the "USB device not recognized" message. I have done all the general trouble shooting. A friend has a mogul and for Sh**'s and giggles, I plugged his phone in and wala, the drivers instantly downloaded and WMDC wanted to sync with it. Is there a way to format the phone or someway fix this problem so I could sync, flash the phone, and start from scratch??
Open up Settings\Connections\USB to PC if enable advanced network functionality is checked, uncheck it and try again. Thats what i had to do for my HTC 8525 after upgrading to wm6.
My touch screen died. I still want to be able to interact with the phone. i have soti pda controller already installed on both phone and laptop. The problem is the phone is stuck on using usb connection as a disk drive which I can not change this using the keyboard alone. So whenever I connect phone to the laptop with the usb cable it does not syn but instead comes up as a storage device. I can only use the pda controller while syncing.
is there a way to set the phone usb connection to use active sync with only the use of the keyboard.?

You're going to need a registry editor on your PC to edit the registry on your device. I use CeRegEditor. Use that to navigate to the following registry key and change it to this.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers]
"DefaultClientDriver"="Serial_Class"
