No ActiveSync after 2.16.9.x

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.

Your Are Welcome

Back to WM2003 question

Hi all,
Some days ago, i was to install TOFCLOCK HIMA WM6. But my i-mate Pocked PC works very slow.
Then try to back to WM2003, but here i has a problem - in the "serial" mode my desctop PC (Windows XP) dont see PockedPC. Same problem i has also with notebook (Windows XP).
Then I restart my PPC and when WM6 starded i seed that synchronization process work fine.
Don't understand, if synchronization worked why desktop PC can't see PPC in the SERIAL mode?
pls help me!

Yes, i'm in bootloader mode (RECORD+POWER+ACTION+RESET) and then see text on display "SERIAL".
Maybe WM6 lock USB connection?
Intrested that if i load WM6 as normally - synchronization via USB work fine.

do u see USB at top...Connect cable directly to PC

Why dun you try loading other version of WM6? Maybe it is not as bad as what you think to make you go back to 2003?

yes, i would suggest you to try C_Shekhar's *Fast* WM6 AKU7.0c.R40.P24 at:

I guess some of the pioneers (itsme, buzz_lightyear, peter poelman and so on) should know. Buzz is still active on his own forum, haven't seen the others for quite a while. Perhaps dig deep in the wiki, dig up some very old threads, PM them...

yeah maybe..but some one also posted a topic regarding Flashing via SD card on buzzdev..but i dnt think he got the answer

Big Problem?

I was performing the radio update on my MDAIII and now he hangs in the bootloader with USB in the upper middle und 2.08 in the under middle. All resets won`t bring it back to life. If I try to reinstall the update all I get is a blank message screen (update from version to version) in my Vista. How can I get out of there.
I did everything what was stated here
The original BAUpgradeUT won`t find my device. The MAUpgradeUt_noID.exe gives me the blank screen with the update from to screen.

I'm using a Vista PC.
After the Radio update to 1.15 the error described above is not to go away yet.
What to do, I'm nearly in tears.

Finally I got it back but with an old Romupdate from T-Online. Is there someone who got the QTC 9090 update (latest one)

That was fast..
im glad you solved your problem.
i think someone here has it.
just post what you need and make it as a title for others to read in the digest.

Im not a expert but is vista the problem??

Most likely.

Failed MDA II flash with vista notebook
Hello everybody,
I just read this thread in hope to find a solution for my problem, which is quite similar to the one described here initially.
I got a used MDA III with T_Mobile ROM. Since I'm a customer with O2, I wanted to change the ROM to O2 as well. I followed the directions given in an other thread here (don't have the link just now) and during the flashing, the flash application suddenly had no connection to my MDA III anymore. It was securely settled in its craddle an connected to my laptop via USB. Now my MDA III is stuck in Bootloader Mode with USB v2.07 displayed on the screen.
Each retry of installing either the O2 or the T_Mobile ROM now meet with the error 101: no connection. I read here that you managed to update successfully with a vista pc. Thus I wanted to ask, how you did that since I just don't seem to find the reason for the connection failing each time.
Here is what i tried to establish connection so far:
* disabled virus scanner & firewall
* unplugged the mda III and plugged it in again. It was recognized as a new device but that didn't help the connection issue
Could you please post what you did to make the update work under vista? Help would be greatly appreciated

Try on computer with Windows XP and kill activesynk (wcecomm.exe on taskmanager/processes)
Maybe it will work. If u cant flash O2 ROM try to use "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe". On my Qtek 9090 allways flash using this APPS and allways work.
U can try too format device first, put it on candle and use "mtty1.42.exe". On XP, kill active sync, and open mtty1.42.exe and select port USB and put OK. Do "Enter" on command and should appear USB>. After this write Task 28. This will format all your PC. Try install SO after this. This command delete all files on PPC. I have attach files that you maybe need.

thankfor the tipp and sorry for my late reply. Since I have no XP PC available i tried the mtty1.42.exe on my vista notebook. When i run it however, it only lists com port 1-3, no usb port. Do i have to make a special configuration on vista for it to work?
Thanks in advance,

In vista i dont know...sorry for my late reply too.... in XP u must kill ActiveSync process called wincecom.exe. in vista, maybe u have to kill the Windows Mobile Device Center....i dont know...
Dont forget, put the Qtek 9090 in Boot Loader Mode (Pressing Power Button + Record Button + Reset), maybe will appear USB and u can format the device.
If this does not work, try on Windows XP....Find a friend with Windows XP and ask him to use his PC only to do that.
Maybe somebody in forum have the Windows Vista and can help u....
Sorry my terrible english....

Yes, i know my reply is late but the problem ist 100% Vista! i Tryed 2 ours with vista...then i decided to format my pc and to install XP. At the first try it worked!

Can't connect to my pc!

I just want to connect so i can update to the newest swedish rom released.
And of course everything else
When i connect the usb to phone i get the alternatives "Activesync" or "disc-unit" or something like that.
I choose activesync.....it connects but after a few seconds it disconnects.
It will show up on my pc but just disconnects right after....it has always worked before.....i really don't know what to do.
Then i use the other alternative to connect.....it seems stable but it is extremely slow.....one mp3 at 3mb takes about 40minutes to upload to phone.
I have the "Official Update 1.37.401.3" installed but i want install the newer one.
Please help me.
My usb cords i have tried using is flawless....everything works.
Im running Vista Ultimate Retail.
Please help me through this ordeal....I'm almost at the point that I'm going tp buy another phone and leave htc forever
I really want this phone to work. It worked before actually...It might be when I updated with the Official Update 1.37.401.3 or exactly a few days after that my problems appeared.
REALLY NEED YOUR HELP XDA-PEOPLE!

Have you tried connecting it while it's in bootloader mode? If all you want to do is flash the ROM that's the best option.
One question, why did you "upgrade" to the 1.37 ROM? Isn't that what came on the device?

Open active sync (it allready might e open as u tried to connect) and go to menu (on the right) select connections and see if u have use usb connection enabled.

Yes it is enabled.

Windows XP uses Active sync V.4.5.0
Windows Vista uses Windows Mobility center:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/mobility-center.aspx
First check your advanced energy-settings (control panel, system)
To make sure put everything on 10 minutes, as these settings will reset as soon as your new (and faster 1.93) rom is installed.
Connect your phone and make sure you select the sync option, not the external disc option. Make a backup.
Then use an unsigned hard-spl if you have firmware 1.37 or higher. (signed won't work) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
When finished install the rom you like.

I Resolved It!
I managed to flash my phone with the new swedish official rom.
So I can connect now.
Thanx for helping me.
The problem seemed to be in Windows Vista...it wouldn't allow my HTC to keep beeing connected for too long
I resolved the problem on my other computer.
And I love the speed of the new rom by the way ...It gets better and better all the time.
Thanx again XDA Developers.

No ActiveSync connection, but still charging??

Hello,
i have a big problem and i dont know how to solve it.
1) I flashed the OliNex 1.56 using the HSPL method.
2) Flashed Xnor 1.4 Rom
3) Flashed LIA 14.5 Rom
4) Flashed a stock Rom(O2 6.1 Radio 1.12)
5) Flashed back to LIA 14.5(Installed Radio 1.14 and Rillphone 1.14)
6) Want to flash to L3.5, but no connection any more and stll charging over the usb cable
7) Hard reset, nothing changed
Yesterday the connection to activesync was available, but today the phone still charging but the connection to active sync is lost.
I set the phone to bootloader to flash a other rom, but the phone does not detect the usb connection (no usb at the bottom).
Hope you know what to do...
Thx
