Upgrade woes and Vista x64

Hi all, I run Vista x64 Ultimate and connect my devices with Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) I recently dug my O2 Xda Exec out but its stuck at the boot screen, i.e. says serial at the top then v1.00 at the bottom, if I connect the USB cable the word 'Serial' changes to USB
I have unchecked the 'Allow USB Connections' in WMDC and the PC does it's USB Bing Bong sound as you plug in the xda to the USB, unfortunately when using Mtty I get no USB option, consequently I can't input the commands and continue with the install. I have also tried using the Uni_exitbootloader.exe, again this states there is no USB option. I was trying to get either the Ranju v77 rom or the original xda exec rom installed.
I have checked the USB ports using other devices and all function ok, so what's going wrong?
Going to try from another machine today, its running XP pro so I should have more luck!

**SOLVED**
Problem solved.
Advice: Don't use Vista x64 to update these PDA's
The solution was to go to my XP system and upgrade from there, installed original Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe then once that was ok I tried out Ranju_v77_WM61_19900_19900_1_0_2.exe.
my issue now is wireless encryption, apparently I only have up to WEP and I use WPA, will do a search but if anyone knows how to deal with this can you post.

Cant flash Diamond ROM in Mac?

Config: MacBook Pro, Leopard, Parallels, XP.
Have downloaded the new official norwegian ROM, start it in XP, get bootloaderscreen on Diamond, then this message on Mac:
"USB device you are trying to connect to the virtual machine is being used by another application. Close that application or unplug the device and plug it again. Then try to connect the device again."
Cant find any programs using USB at all, also tried clen startup.
On P3600 upgrading ROM on this config is no problem.
What do I do wrong?

Did you start up parallels before or after connecting your Diamond to your mac?

I'm on a 20" iMac,
I'm using bootcamp for XP and that works fine. I think your problem is that when you connect a usb device to your mac, Leopard loads it in a certain way. Maybe iSync or Missing Sync detects your device (check for the iSync logo in your toolbar). Try to disable iSync and check if Leopard mounts your MDA as a disk).
I'm not on my mac right now but i will check if i can find the problem when i get home.

New Bootloader solved the problem.
Thanks for answering.

USB Doesn't work anymore

Hi everybody,
i updated my diamond af few weeks ago, everything worked but now i can't connect with usb anymore, tried activsync and diskdrive on windows xp 32 bit sp3, windows 7 32bit and vista ultimate x64 but nothing works.. ant ideas and or solutions? tried hard reset already..

Same happened to me. USB cable only works for charging now, it's not recognized for syncing. Tried different pc's so know it's not that.
Must be a problem with the Diamond hardware or the USB cable I think.

It seems more likely to be a "software problem" rather than a hardware one. Please try to "hard reset" it (you will lose all data, and restore to factory default). Then do syncing again. If it works, it means something you have installed crash with the syncing.

Or try firstly different cable (for ex. from Canon IXUS cameras! )

1. Ok, try the obvious:
- Go into "USB to PC" applet (start/settings/connections/USBtoPC).
- Make sure that the 2 checkboxes are checked ("Enable Advance network functionality", and "Ask about connection type when I connect").
- Disable your antivirus & FIREWALL (My Norton AV/Firewall doesn't allow ActiveSync and messes with USB drive mode!).
- Now connect to yor PC's USB and see if it works.
2. Check the following key in your registry:
- \HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS
- Make sure the "CacheSize" value is ZERO "0". EnableCache can be enabled or disabled, didn't make a difference for me.
I had the same problem and fixed it following exactly these 2 steps. Fortunately, I remembered to re-trace my steps backwords
Good luck & Cheers

Computer cant recognize my Diamon

Dear Sirs;
Maybe this part of forum not be the proper place for my question but I don't know the poeple more expert than XDA masters.
Since last monday, computer cant recognize my Diamond when I connect it by USB cable and "USB device not recognized" appears. I will be really appreciated if you kindly help me.
Best Regards
Dariush Chegini

Try reinstalling Active Sync/Windows Mobile Device Center.
First remove Active Sync/ WMDC, restart PC and than install Active Sync/ WMDC.

Thanks for your kind attention. I reinstalled Activesync...no change, computer can't recognize the Diamond. My Diamond charges with both charger and computer, USB headphone works but PC can't recognize it....
I'm so confused and will be really appreciated if XDA masters help me.
Best Regards

XP or Vista or Windows 7 or which OS?

I've tried by both WIN XP and Vista.

could be a few possibilities for XP atleast...
activesync - file->connection settings->allow usb connections checked
faulty cable, try another one
faulty port on computer, try another one
driver issue - a difficult one...
i had this on my xp, found out there's something wrong with the cable - phone charging fine via computer USB, but XP says it doesn't recognize the device so doesn't connect to activesync....
good luck

Try on your Diamond -
Start>Settings>USB to PC
Unchek "Enable faster data synchronization"
If none of the above solutions work, maybe a hard reset...

I tried another cables, all options in "USB to PC", Activesync options, hardreset, even install other ROM but PC still can't recognize the Diamond.
It seems to be a Hardware problem but Diamond can be charged by USB and USB headphone works properly... I'm so confused .
Thanks Millions

Try this in order...
1. Connect diamond to pc - it should at least charge as your say, but not detect Activsync
2. Goto Settings > Connections > USB to PC
3. Check Allow USB Connections > Uncheck allow fast data sync...
Does it connect?
if not and if you are using Vista
1. goto Windows Mobile device Center
2. check the attached image to see you have the same settings...
Does it connect?
if still not, then it could be driver issues, which I can suggest, once you reply to the above...

Thanx for your attentions. I've tried uncheking the said bottom but no change.
I used to connect the Diamond to the same notebook without any problem for more than 16 months, but the damn notebook stop recognizing my Diamond these days .
Thanks Millions
Dariush

may be usb port on your computer is malfunction. Did u try different usb port?
You need to open device manager in control panel to see how you diamond is listed.

Ever since i started with a new company 3 years ago they have some software that prevents activesync from connecting to any device I have from their computers using USB.
I went Bluetooth method and all is fine. I just use the USB for large, direct file transfer to internal storage.
If you get issues with activesync and usb and can take ages to resolve (if possible).

I guy's.
After a lot of search in this forum and a lot of other forum's, i came to this threat.
I had the same problem, my diamond didn't connect to my pc.
I had tried all the different suggestion, and nothing seemed to work. until i read the post of cloudedhopes, that suggested to change the usb cable. Because it was the only thing that i hadn't tried, i did change the cable, and it worked!
So i'm posting only to thank you guy's for all of the help, given not directly to me, but to all user!

Cannot connect Lumia 950 to Windows 10 PC

I could not connect my Lumia 950 to a Windows 10 PC using the data cable the phone came with.
When I connect them the phone asks if I want to enable "data connection" I push yes. The PC is installing some 950 firmware or driver but nothing happens. I cannot reach the phone. Any idea?

try install Windows Device Recovery Tool (because drivers)

P.S.
in case that not helped, also try install Nokia Software Recovery Tool (this tool not working with Lumia phones but install and fix current drivers)
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=525568
you dont need to enable any data connection, just plug USB cable and look in "My Computer"
if Windows Phone not show in "My Computer" go to Control Panel - Devices and Printers, look for Windows Phone there

Doesn't work. It cannot find driver for it. I tried it more times using different USB ports. This is ridiculous. A Microsoft product cannot find driver for another Microsoft product.

driver work just fine... seems your Windows update not working (or you block something). i dont have any problem with Lumia 950 on Windows 10 Pro
did you try install Windows Device Recovery Tool and Nokia Software Recovery Tool? (you have drivers in this tools)

Not sure, how can I check?

I solved it. If anybody runs into similar issues the problem was the Windows itself. I had Win 10 Pro N version freshly installed. Win 10 Pro N doesnt contain Media Player which is needed to connect a mobile phone even an Android. Which is strange. I realized when I couldnt connect an old Android either.
I tried to install media feature set but it didnt help. I had to reinstall Win 10 Pro version. Everything works now.

so you moved the piano because you couldn't move the chair?

Mine was connecting a week ago, but now the Lumia 950 is recognized by Windows Device Recovery Tool , but doesn't appear in the file browser no more.

I had the same issue and found this thread while looking, my issue is that the usb3 port of my pc would only charge the phone, no other options available however when I moved the usb cable to a usb 2 port everything worked as it should, phone companion, import photos etc, strange considering the cable supplied with phone is fast charge usb c type yet in doesn't work in the fastest port on my pc.
hope this helps someone out

I had a similar issue after Win 10 anniversary update. Plugging phone into USB 3 hub would not recognize the phone (even though it worked before the update). I tried plugging it directly into a USB port on the MB and it recognized the phone, installed the drivers, and connected. AFTER this, I was able to connect via the USB 3 hub, as I had before the update. Hope this helps somebody.

Interesting...
I had some similar problem with the Continuum docking station, where the provided (with the dock) cable wouldn't allow the phone to see it at first.
It then worked after I swapped both ends... Go figure.

Hello guys,
It seems I have the same issue here, but my phone won't turn at all its just vibrate when plug in the cable.
I want to connect it to the PC to use windows device recovery tool.
I think its a known problem (Lumias) so any help will be appreciated !

Windows Device Recovery Tool was not able to install on my Lumia 810 ones I plugged to USB 3 it worked!
OS Win 10 Pro
