To make your BA compatable with Vista download Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update from offsite.Choose the package?depending what OS you running - x86 or x64! And you will be able to sync all your contacts,data,programs...
Windows Mobile Device Center replaced Activesync in Vista.
I had the same problem, with the orginal Windows Mobil Device Manager which you get with vista you can only sync files, but nothing else.
You have to download Mobil Device Manager Beta 3, after installing this one you can make a full sync with your pda.

i did just that..but as soon as i plug in my BA sync center makes an error nd i get the close or debug window...whatever i do..it remains open nd u can browse and sync pictures but no contacts or installations...nd activesync on my BA wont connect..its always waiting for network!
if u use wm5 on your ba try this setting on your ba: start => settings => connections => usb to pc = and check "enabe advanced network functionaliity"

thanks guys the update worked a treat on my xda2`s with helmi upgrade
its already enabled....i've been tweaking with setting for a month now (i've had vista for 2 months) nd i cant get it to work :S
i think there's some service in vista thats disabled or something..i just cant figure it out...btw...i also have office 2007 (outlook) if that helps...if anyone knows of something else that can sync my contacts with outlook plz tell me.
btw..helmi...u took the data backup prog from ur latest rom..where can i get it from?
Hello, you are sure you have e release version of vista?, because i sync my pda every day with my computer with the things i told here, you can try die delete the device from devicemanager and let the system find it with the new drivers form the mobil device manager beta 3.
After i istall the MDM3 my system find a new deivce and install it.
Somting is wrong with your system.
I use outlook 2002 on vista, it's a little bit buggy ( every startup it want make a new profil), but i have not a newer one.
Greets MonsyX
yeah i have the pre-release final version..build 6000...but it seems that there's something buggy with the installation...i'm gonna reinstall windows nd see wat happens.
thx.
Theres no such thing as a pre-release final version!
You have the final version which was released 30th November 2006 to large companies, and to the general public on the 30th January 2007.
i have the final version...but i got it before nov30....which makes it pre-release...anyways its the same windows....the final build...nd thats not the point of my question!
anyone knows anything abt the backup program that used to come with helmi's rom?

just as a reminder, this tool will not let u restore the backup on different version of wm5.
say you backup on aku3.2, then u upgrade to aku3.5, the restore would not work.
ActiveSync is a better tool to backup contacts, calendar ......

OK i will say to everyone that official presentation of vista and office2007 is after few hours, so comments like i have vista from microsoft legally are just ridiculous, and the ridiculous part is not that someone have it, but that this someone do not know how to connect hes pocketpc to it. Only people that have vista before the official launch are large OEMs and Small group of beta testers which recieved thir copies as reward of beta testing. These are the two legal ways of having vista.
[/offtopic]
I got mine through the Beta program. It wasn't released on 30th November by the way, its original release was 8th November to MSDN subscribers.
/ontopic - I do however have a lot of problems with the Sync Center and my BA. I've not actually got it to sync properly yet on RTM.
Has anyone got any thoughts on the new system? Does the ActiveSync replacement:
1) allow more than one device to be connected?
2) avoid duplicate items?
Cheers!

@Biohead: yeah i forgot about MSDN subscribers you are right, but I am mad about that everyone claims that they have licensed vista and they are not MVP's, MSDN Subscribers, Technical Beta Testers or OEM's, why they are trying to lie, i was in the beta test, i have tested every version provided on connect, and i have not recieved a copy of vista, maybe guys who provided more bugs had copys. whatever i will buy it maybe after SP1 because it really needs a lot of patching. Vista is not what it was promissed to be(look at longhorn demos a way back and you will understand what i mean)
Ontopic:
I have problems with it too, The first time it syncs fine, after that it does not work at all or crash upon connecting.The temporary Fifx for this is remove the WMDC and reinstall it. I think it is not BA specific issue it is all WM device specific one. How we can not have problems with activesync under XP?

i dont know how valid this is right now...since vista is already out...but here's proof that my version is genuine...
i could send u pics of the intallation cds if u want!
anyway...all i needed to know is whether the sync center was buggy or not...nd it seems that i'm not the only one with this problem....btw...a simple solution to this problem would be to install TinyXP on a Vmware workstation nd sync ur BA on that...its a hassle...but it works.
Remember, Sync Center IS STILL IN BETA!!!

Hiya People Just writing to let you know that i'm a windows vista beta tester and it will not accept downgrading the blue angel from windows mobile 5 to any rom of any sort on vista as it complains that the device is not compatable for the rom (another bloody problem made by Microsoft)
I tried my BA which runs WM2003SE (not gone WM5 ever) on Vista pre_RC1 last week. It only saw it as a MP3 player, I tried everything to delete the profiles Vista created so that I could educate Vista that it was a little more than a bloody MP3 player without sucess. So lets hope RC1 or later sorts that out as MS state compatibility with both WM2003SE and WM5. Perhaps it was not your BA, perhaps MS have not got Sync Centre working yet (forgive my ignorance if this is not the case) for anything other than basic MP3 players and Media Player 11!
I think the problem here is Activesync (or rather lack of it).
For those of you who don't know, Vista will not let AS be installed on it as it has been replaced by Windows Mobile Device Center. On the newer builds it is actually disable but I am informed it is still there - don't worry.
The tool used to upgrade AND downgrade the BA requires AS for the connection and I believe that is why it is failing.
(WMDC has been disabled on builds 5536 (Pre-RC1), the leaked 5552 (Pre-RC1) and 5600 (RC1 itself)).
vista+wm5
i also tester of vista and i even install the last rc1 of vista but the bif problem
that it no way to make acticsync you get the error message as i look over
the net its seem that microsft is aware of this bug i also hope so
in vista you don't have to use activesync , there is integrated application for syncronizing, i have posted screenshots before, search the forums.
In pre RC1 build this application does not work, but in previous versions it has worked just fine with my Blueangel with WM5
So wait a lil if you want all to work smooth, this OS is still in development stages, the bugs have been fixed every day in it
I am Vista technical beta tester too
RC1
I just got the RC 1 Download email. Its coming down now. Hope things improve.
rc1 just came out.. tested it for about a week.. plugged my BA in.. nothing. it recognized it as an mp3 player. anyway... the replacement for activesync (windows mobile device center) isnt included because there are many bugs at the moment.. but i am told that they are almost done and whoever does have vista will soon see the wmdc in windows update

Hello,
since a couple of days I try to upgrade my Trinity with a new Rom, but I have no chance. I get this message Erros 260:Connection , so do somebody know how I can flash my Rom under Vista?It would be very nice, thanks a lot!
turn off usb-connection in windows mobile device center, and try again!
if it doesn't work, try "des bootloader", start it and try to flash again.
perhaps you need activesync 4 drivers for your device, i found them somewhere in this board
good luck
thanks a lot, where can I find the active sync drivers, I searched but I found nothing, anybody an idea?

Vista in my eyes is almost perfect - never had any issue!
- using three external hard drives without any problem
- syncing with my Wizard (of course WMDC doesn't "store" contacts, it just syncs them with an Exchange server or Outlook - and it does it even better than ActiveSync)
- and all other stuff I did previously with XP (except ROM upgrading of my Wizard - but that's not a problem of Vista as there are already upgrade tools, we just don't have them so far cause no operator released any upgrade recently or the gurus here haven't been able to hack it to accept custom ROMs)

Hey can you tell me how to make my version of wmdc do what you say your does? As far as syncing the contacts and setting up my mobile email? I only had vista for about a week now and trying to figure it out; i was so dependant on XP but had to move on. Any help will be appreciated.

Actually there are no "tweaks" to make it do what is is supposed to do - it did it straight away! I have no idea where you have problems - WMDC has exactly the same functionality (and some additions to AS) and same options, just different interface. Just go to "mobile device settings" or whatever it is called (I am using the German version) and set it up to sync whatever you want to sync...
If it doesn't work try to delete the partnership and set up a new one...
Hi,
Thought I'd start a thread to see if anyone has had any luck trying to Sync the Diamond (Windows Mobile 6.1) and Ubuntu (Evolution, Thunderbird or otherwise).

Hi,
it seems possible to sync WM 6.1 with Linux by synce.
But it is quite a lot to configure:
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
I will be switching to Mandriva because it has integrated WM synchronisation:
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1_Synchronization
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMNpI3RUwo8
Cheers!
I've heard that Mandriva has better sync abilities with WM6.1 as well, but as its open source, I would have thought that whatever Mandriva is doing can be done for Ubuntu.
When you setup Mandriva can you let me know what systems and processes are in place for the sync?
Cheers,
P
Hmm i would also like to see that, ive been trying to sync wm6 in fedora for months!!

i installed mandriva 2009 today and i can assure you it fully syncs with my htc touch running wm6. i really like mandriva but had to uninstall it because my printer was not supported. im more of a ubuntu guy myself and i agree the new version 8.10 should support syncing but i don't think it will.
Kolab Server - Kubuntu (Kontact) - ActiveSync
Hi guys,
I got it working with Kolab-Server (http://www.kolab.org), which is only needed if you need an Exchange-type collaboration server, kontact (http://pim.kde.org) and my Touch.
So basically ActiveSync on TD is communicating with kontact. I used the following tutorial:
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
This one should also work with Evolution, but I haven't tried it myself.
Hope it helps,

I'd love to see some instructions of how to get this set up in Intrepid. This is the only thing I boot into Windows for.
There's a utility called HTCFlasher (found on these forums). Does that not work with the TD?

Hi there. Few days ago I changed my OS from XP to Vista. From that time I couldnt sync my Diamond. I have got SP1 and all updates. I wanted install Windows Mobile Device Center Update but when the instalattion was nearly at 99% it reversed at uninstall without any message. I havent any Windows Mobile Device Center icon between programs but I have this icon in Control Panel. I can connect my Diamond to laptop, I can transfer files for example but there is no tasks or contacts sync. Can anybody help me? I treid many thinks I found on the Internet but still no solution. I checked the Firewall as well and the related applications are allowed. I even tried to switch off the firewall but didnt help me.
So I found the solution by myself. Maybe it wil be useful for somebody. Before installing Windows Mobile Device Center Update you should do at least the following:
- update graphic driver at the newest one,
- update all Microsoft Windows Mobile Remore Adapter related things.
Important: the mobile must be conneected to the computer during searching for updates and installing them as well.
My computer is ASUS eeePC 1000H. Now it works like charm.
I have only one thing to say about Vista:
Its an amazing OS I love Vista.
Waiting patiently for Window 7.

Vista It's piss of ****...
1. My daughter got Laptop with Vista (Toshiba), during 4 month she had to Re install OS (and all programs) after Vista made Auto Update and could not recover from it..
2. Many programs I bought for her with good money, could not

3. Vista it's like forest.. so many trees , so you could not see the forest
Hello i am new to posting on this site but a long time reader and i have a Xda mini S (wizard).
anyway
i have been looking around the internet because of a crazy idea in my mind.
The idea came to me yesterday after upgrading my rom to WM6.1 then to WM6.5
So am looking at WM6.5 and just am thinking wouldnt it be nice to have Windows Xp on my phone so can be like a portable laptop with calling and texting.
i saw some thing about it for a different pda i think
so was just wondering is it possible to upgrade the rom and install XP on a Xda Mini s.
Doesnt have to be like the Desktop version it can be a mini remake.
as long as its possible to flash it again afterwards if i change my mind about it.
Anyone have any ideas for me ?
An easy way to fix this is via citrix, or via vmware...
well you must be a retard to think xp run on wizard is no such thing runnning xp on a pda close thread please...

Maybe you should think outside the box a little before emphatically saying something isn't possible. Heck, 60 years ago noone thought it possible to carry around a phone withoutwires, or have a computer smaller than the size of a room.
hello,
i wanna say i had win 98.
but.... you have to change resolution with nyditot cause it isn't vga.
and on mine the mouse doesn't work.
just se this lik earlyer said http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362344

so goodluck i know it works cause i had it myself.
but as i said no mouse and slow.
just try it is great to see
also watch youtube there are movies about it.
Well, it is impossible to run Windows XP natively, because the architecture of the wizard(or any htc smartphone) differs from the pc architecture.
However, there are 2 ways to "run" xp on your wizard:
1) With an x86 emulator like bochs or qemu; you don't want that because it's even slow on a normal pc, and you still don't have sufficient RAM to run xp.
2) Run xp on a normal pc and use VNC or RDP to control it remotely(so you need a fast internet connection). I believe there an rdp app called "Terminal Services client" on a default wm installation, so I'd go for that one.
If you want to run windows to play games on your pda, I'd advice to forget it, vnc and rdp are not designed for such tasks...
Well, I dig this idea. any one with the know how should be able to port Tablet PC OS into an .nbf file with all the right drivers an stripped of all unnecessary junk ( a minimalist version) . If not a complete os than lookalike may be. May be i am dreaming big but someone should be able to help. I see ppl trying to port Linux/ android on wizard than why not XP?
The Omap processor (which is an ARM processor) isn't powerful enough to Emulate a x86 processor with acceptable speeds and memory to run XP on a wizard (even if XP has been stripped etc..).
