All of you, thanks for the good work! The upgrade went well except for this problem. I have gone through a tough 8 hours and I still cannot get this thing to sync. At first there was no connection. Now after reinstalling the ROM and reinstalling the activesync, they see each other but, I get an error from activesync 4 stating "this version of microsoft activesync is not compatable with the connected device. please upgrade to a newer version of activesync and reconnect" I just downloaded this version of activsync 4.0.0 build 4343. Is that what everyone else is using? Please help if you have any ideas as I am getting very frustrated.
Firstly ensure you do not have any firewall software running as this causes havoc with ActiveSync 4 and WM5...
Secondly, are you running XP SP2? If you are using SP1 or earlier then ActiveSync 4 will not function correctly!
Yes I have all firewall software shut down and I am on SP2 for XP. The error is strange though. Any other ideas?
Had to downgrade
Just a quick addition. I downgraded back 1.4 and activesync 4.0 now works fine with no system changes. The problem had to be with the 5.0 installation on my XDAIIs. Everything else worked so it is quite strange.
Mine wouldnt sync, it would even pick up that it was plugged in it kept sayin unkown usb device has malfunctioned, worked fine after hard reboot.
Please help. I flashed 2.16.9.x and now ActiveSync doesn't work anymore, it connects all the time. PDA doesn't show activesync syncronization icon.
I tried to flash another versions of ROM, but it didn't help.
The problem may lie with the PC as opposed to the PDA. Have you tried a remove / re-install of AS4.1 on the PC?

Fair enough, I was just trying to help. Perhaps if you had stated that in your original text I would not have provided such an "Obvious" answer. I will leave it up to others now to take guesses as to what you "might or might not have done"......

Try to make your computer or laptop restore on earlier date then since it started. I had once this problem i don't know but sometimes it with the system files in computer missing then the problem occurs.
Although my ActiveSync works almost fine after the same rom-upgrade, I encounter its strange behaviour sometimes (rear, not always!) - PDA slows down to a crawl right after you disconnect it from a desktop PC (either USB or Bluetooth). It becomes so terribly slow that it takes 20-30 sec to draw the Comm-manager window! then you better soft-reset, then it works just fine. Why am I... to prove that ActiveSync 4.1 is not quite stable with new ROM version 2.16. There is a bug somewhere, and it has to be reported to i-Mate firmware writers.
Have you followed Microsoft rules about configuring firewalls for ActiveSync 4.1? Does it create a network connection 169.254.2.1 on a desktop PC?
Thank you guys, but I guess my case is harder:
1. I have firewall switched off. I didn't change any setting in computer. I just flashed new ROM.
2. I flashed my original ROM, but it didn't help.
3. I tried to sync on several computers and had the same result.
By the way I cannot return to original ipl/spl, I don't know how to do that.
Today I visited repairing service's office and they've prooved me my device is not broken, it synchronizes succesfully via USB on their computer. :shock:
So, the problem is related to my computer(s). If I'll find something I report in this thread.
it probably has to do with one of the cabs you installed that are on your original extrom or someone elses. Most people who have had problems after the upgrade on an 8125 (Cingular) have installed cingular cabs from the old rom. I had to to figure out the MMS configuration and after I foundthe one that did my activesync no longer worked. after a reflash and only installing some of the default cabs that came with the new rom and manually configuring the mms and gprs I don't have any problems at all.
well maybe it is the version of activesync we are using when this does happen.
I'm running the ROM that came with the Cingular 8125, and it does the same thing ... 1 in 10 times after disconnecting the device from the PC, the 8125 slows to a crawl, and the only way to recover is a soft-reset. 9 out of 10, it works fine.
OS ROM: 1.8.11.1 WWE
Radio: 01.09.11
Protocol: 4.0.13.20
not overclocked
soon to be ROM upgraded (hopefully)

I use 4.1 for a long time.
I didn't install anything on my pda. It happens even after hard reset. I even tried to flash original rom. In all cases ActiveSync displays "Connecting...", pda even doesn't display sync icon.
I tried to sync with standalone notebook and it was successfull. I'm really shocked why pda cannot sync with my desktop(s). It seems to me it could happen after some windows unattendant updates or something, I'm still investigating...
I have Qtek 9100 and have installed rom 2.16.9 and i also have activesync 4.1 refusing connection to my pda. After some googling i have found this interesting site: http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/tshoot-as4x-connection.htm
I did cheks described there and found out that activesync doesnt have any network adapters and/or activity. USB driver installs, but it, again, doesnt generate anything. Maybe problem is there?
Ehhh... I even cannot return to any previous rom version, because there is no rapi for updaters to work with
reverting back to original cingular rom
How would you go back to original ROM using Lokiwiz tool if your active sync was working OK?
Thanks,
Each time I have done HARD RESET--I uninstalled active sync from my computer AFTER DELETING PARTNERSHIP. I deleted PC from Active sync on my 8125. I deleted all files on my computer related to active sync using search.
I then reinstalled active sync 4.1, being sure WINDOWS FIREWALL was off. I went thru all the steps with my TREND MICRO VIRUS PERSONAL FIREWALL EXCEPTIONS listed on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx
and I got it to work (1st install always takes time for calendar)
Hope that helps--it seems ridiculous to have redo all that-but so be it.
I'd like to know how to get back to CINGULAR ROM as I am still in 30 day return window.
Well there is a magical combination of buttons as described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386 (somewhere around 2-4 page):
Voice+Camera + Reset. Colored bootloader shows up. After that you can connect it to usb and run .exe with rom you want.
The problem with me is that i dont use any 3rd party firewall (i have hardware router for my connections)
reverting back to original cingular rom
You don't think there would be a problem going DOWN in ROM'S?
Do I need to UNLOCK again first?
I must confess. I did (i think veeery lucky) sucseded in running activesync. Altough what was the cause i cannot say. I reverted to 1.6.7 version of the rom. and reinstall everyting several times. and reboted several time. and i saying loud magical words. (and deleted checkpoint vpn software that i have installed). AND it worked!
Maybe trouble was in vpn soft, but it worked pre 4.1 activesync. So... Here is my experience.

Thank you very much for this link, it helped me to find the reason. It's not new ROM fault. The Microsoft Firewall Client (ISA 2000 component) on desktop blocks communication between PDA and desktop. I disabled it and now ActiveSync works fine.
Thank you again.

Hi, did download (the latest on MS website), install and use it without any trouble. It found my exchange setting on my BA and applied them without even asking me! This was last night, will see what happens today!
@ daddy_yankee1980: It is an upgrade to Vista with all the verification required, so even if it is uploaded you will have to be online and connected to MS website (I think).
it is "Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista"
not the app
All the beta branding is gone from the application too - so I think its both driver and app.
Maybe you are right, i wont use vista just yet they have to fix a lot of bugs until i start to use it daily
here is links for both builds

I'm currently using the Helmi AKU3.5 1.4Beta with no sucess to be detected, what rom are you using ?
Are you running the final version of the WMDC ?
Still problems with Vista
I installed the Windows Vista Mobile Device Driver Update Final, but my MDA Vario I is not connected. It is not recognized anyway. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Thanks.

RUU
I am using Vista with final WMDC released driver with O2 Atom.
I am able to properly sync. No problems. However I am not able to update the ROM. It goes upto the sensing screen to display the current ROM on device and to be updated ROM info. etc. In the next screen it hangs and after some time of about 1 minute the device update utility says that it is not able to update the device. I even disable the firewall to check if it is issue with firewall. But nope no help. I again checked it with windows xp and active sync v. 4.2 where everything works perfect so no issues with O2 atom.
Any help is appreciated.
SX66 WM5 synched successfully
I installed Windows Mobile Device Center on Vista Ultimate and successfully synchronized my SX66 running WM5. In addition, I sychnronized my Mail with Outlook 2007. However, it appears that there is no backup utility. When I checked the help for WMDC, it only shows how to backup a "Windows Mobile 2003 powered device". Is there some other way I can backup my system? Maybe another tool. I am going to try to use ActiveSync 4.1 tomorrow, which is installed on my work computer.
I'm still not able to sync in Vista with WMDC. My BA is saying:
Connection Not Valid: unable to open the connection '`USB'. This Connection is no longer valid or does not exist. Select a different connection and try again.

I'm going to try a hard reset on my BA and see if thats the problem.

Since I just installed WM5 on my SX66, I was unaware that AciveSync does not backup WM5 devices. I purchased Spb Backup and that works better anyways.
It Works
When I plugged my device in today, the system was able to find drivers. All is good now.

i had the same problem and i did the following and solved the problem:
1. uninstall outlook (2003 or 2007 or other)
2. uninstall active sync
and after that reset computer and hen install
1. outlokk
2. install activesync
and u r donw. U can backup outlook files or sync again !! but it will solve the problem because sometimes he active sync misses up with exchange seerver and doing the following steps will solve the problems !!
I already tried that...i even trie updating from bootloader from other comp...but nothing....can I update ROM from SD?..and how ?
Hey guys,
I am trying to upgrade my XDA to WM6.5. When following the wizard steps, I enter the PDA into the bootload menu, but when I run the application on my XP desktop, I recieve the following error:
Error 150: Rom Upgrade Utility Error
This ROM upgrade utility does not design for your device.
Please get proper ROM upgrade utility and try again.
Help! It's frustrating the hell out of me!
please add which rom you currently use, do you have activesync installed
Me also have the same error
I have yust tried to install the new release with the same result.
I have a Qtek 9090 with WM 6.1 rel 5.2.20262 b. 19949.1.2.0.black, but in the past month I have tested many other...
Simply the install program don't recognize the device so cannot define if it's right or wrong.
Thank you in general for your fantastic jobs !
Sorry !
Yes I have Activesync installed (for another palmsize divice).
What????
Palm size device???? so you dont have activesync... you have hotsync but....
You already tried the WM6.1.... so you have activesync... men you are getting me crazy jejejej lol
BTW...
Try to conect your device if the activesync dont recognize it and sync.... restart your PC and PPC... the if this not works...
Uninstall the AS then Reinstall it..... if not works...
Try to change to other USB port
If dont works check your advanced conections settings
and check or uncheck the advanced network config box..... if not works...
BTW upgrading needs bootloader so put it on Bootloader mode conect it if your PC says something about not recognized just.... try other PC.... are you on VISTA or XP? suggested... XP.
Thanks
I have used very bad words, so don't panic ! The other device is a "normal" HTC 3300 (artemis) with 6.0 italian std rom and A.S. 4.5.0 (Build 5096) on Win XP.
The 9090 syncs regularly and it is regularly connected (I have stopped the bootloader and reboot the BA), I will test to reboot all, and eventually change the USBport, tomorrow morning (I am a little tired now and the eyes start to cross instead of read). As soon as I have done it I will and report here what does happend.
For now many thanks to you and to Xplode also.
night men!!!
Hope it works for you tomorrow... good luckits our pleasure to help.
Have you tryed the following ?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FAQ_STUCK_AT_STARTUP
All Ok now
Symply from the last uprade of my 9090 I had changed the PC, so it haven't all the right Drivers.
Now, following Win XP requests (it was needing wceusbsh.sys) all is gone right so my 9090 actually exposes: CE OS 5.2.21169 (Build 21169.5.0.0) release. (and I am starting to play )
Many thanks to all.
you do not need drivers, install activesync in your pc, it includes al the drivers you need - if you have it and winxp still wants driver for the ba remove/uninstall activesync and reinstall it again - remember use the latest version of activesync
Hi,
Remove your "puce" and your sd card.
And try again of course with ActivSync.
For less worry upgrade on you BA's...I...WE recommend XP with Active Sync 4.5
