Hi all, ive been looking on here for a while now (and several other places too) for a fix for this. i have a cingular 8125 that works fine with all versions of activesync on windows XP, but on my home computer i have Vista RC1. i have downloaded WMDC and instaled that and i get all the way through the installation fine, then when i go to sync, it loads all the USB driver untill it gets to on that says "Unspecified Device" and fails. I havve tried the "WHOS" reg patch and several other things inculding checking for udates with the device attached, installing with the device attached....you get the pic..its bewen driving me nuts. Anyone either kow of a fix for this or have the driver(s) for me to install on the computer? Thanks in advance
Corey
Also...this has always been an issues since the stock 1.8 rom. i then tried the stock cingular 2.25 rom, the first release of the molski/faria/kyphur/etc. 3.3 rom, and the PDAVeit ver.2 WM6 rom and all have given me the same result. any ideas? i cant seem to find any driver anywhere, and im starting to think that maybe i have something wrong with my device.
bump for some help?
Vista Buisness N
Vista Buisness N confirmed not to work with active sync. Wait until Microsoft releases a patch. Probably tommorow
cool, thanks for the info...i hope it works on RC1 too.... do you know if it will be available from windows update or will i need to search microsofts webpage to get it? thanks for the help
I have vista ultimate got it a few weeks back and i ran into a problem with my mda because there is no active sync. I had to get the sync center version from RC1 to get it to sync right. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx thats where i got it from you can give it a try.

RUU under Vista
WMDC works fine for me (RTM build). The problem I have is eing unable to run RUU under Vista - it crashes after my Wizard goes into bootloader.
Someone seen this too or am I the only one unlucky?
bootloader
This is a very common problem. Ithink it has something to do with the rapi connections
Not sure this works, but have you made sure that the remote-NDIS network card is set to have the IP address assigned by the DHCP instead of using a static ip address (default)?
I am weary of upgrading to WM6 or Vista due to compatability issues. Even though the tech whore side of me is foaming at the mouth to them up and running I have read and think there are still too few drivers and support for Vista. Plus I need $134 to upgrade from business to ultimate

vista kind of sucks but wm6 is great.
Vista is just really annoying to use. I have Vista/sever 2003/xp on my laptop and I almost always use server. I think mostly because I develop web apps. Server just works, no crap.
WM6 is a very very welcome upgrade over wm5 and overall it seems less buggy than even the latest AKU's for WM5.
Hi, can anyone help?
Running Vista from my laptop and want to synch my Vario II with it (currently synched Vario II with XP running desktop). Tried to instal ActiveSync but laptop tells me it's already there but I can't find it in the programmes list and it won't find it on a search.
My laptop does recognise my memory card in the Vario II but won't recognise that it's actually in the Vario II - i'm confused. When I conect the Vario II I'm prompted for a password several times but I can't actually synch.
Vario II is running WM5, have considered WM 6.1 but would I still be able to sync with the XP desk top if I install it.
All a bit confusing and frustrating this, I'm not a techie so basic answers please (if possible!!!)
Thanks

im a veteran when it come to vista. but i still hate it!!!!!!!
check this link from microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
youll find the activesync for vista its called "Windows Mobile Devie Center."
vista sucks in the sense of all those security related stuffs.. wmd sucks.. big time, dun ever attempt to do reflashing of roms at vista, u may end up a bricked phone
nice help thanks
Active Sync is for Xp..
Windows Mobile Device Center is for Vista..
So you need to DL Windows Mobile Device Center
----
ooops, I forgot..
Good luck!

Vista works fine. You can get your phone bricked by not doing it right, it happens in all operating systems.
vista uses wmdc - windows mobile device center & not activesync. so go to the link mentioned on the 2nd post & dload wmdc. should be fine afterwards.
1 thing that bugs me with vista/wmdc is that everytime you sync your device, it changes your device ID to "windowsmobileXX" for my prophet and now to "HTCXX" on my touch pro where XX is a number. So some of my programs that need device ID for registration gets screwed up.
edit: i've never had any luck with flashing on vista for my prophet needed to use vmware running xp. haven't flashed my touch pro yet...
Here is a guide i wrote to flash Htc Himalaya's aka xda2 devices in Vista, the steps should be same :

Dual Boot Vista & XP: Use Vista to play, Use XP to flash Wizard!! 100% sucessful!!
Hey everyone I just wanted to let everyone here know that setting up a dual boot on your computer will allow you to have Vista as your default OS but then reboot your computer and select from either Vista or XP and load either or. Load XP when working on your Wizard, load Vista when you're not!
Here is a link to a tutorial:

PS>> I have tried this personally and have found it to be 100% reliable and works every time!!
Have fun guys!

I used to do this as well, but really got sick of Vista and all the compatibility issues, it was getting to be a pain having to reboot everytime I wanted to sync/flash my phone and use winavi (among other things), I got rid of the Vista Ultimate I was running and now just run Black XP...

That was an option for me as well but I have an HP Dragon with a 240gig hard drive and Vista Ultimate preloaded. I use Vista for all of my photoshopping and what not but XP is only a 40Gig partition and aside from virus protection, is a clean OS strictly for working on my Wizard. I use Vista for everything else.
Yes vista has compatibility issues with the bootloader on our Wizards but for all other softwares, the drivers are there. The programs may not install properly or at all but if you go to their website, or do a simple google search, you will find the drivers you are looking for 99% of the time.
hah
I was telling people to do this a long time ago, glad someone caught on hah cheers, remember to get your XP key legally of course
oh yeah, I believe you can do this in virtual pc/wmware as well, XP fresh install is only about 1.7gb
Yes !
This exactly is what I have also been advising the guys to do.
Well thats exactly what I have done a longtime back,when Vista was first time launched.I'm running both the OS's since than.But as I have three 160g's Sata drives installed in my system, I can easily manage to have both Os on separate drives.never felt the need to partition one drive for separate OS's,LOL

Nicely said. I already had XP on an old HP Pavilion fortunately so I had the restore disk but my Dragon came with Vista Ultimate... I never had to pay for either OS but both are perfectly legal Activated versions. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE. Either you get lucky and have both disks already or you purchase it. No WAREZ...
I have just bought HTC tytn II but dont know how to sync it with my mac. can anyone provide any answers
You'll have to use The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile to sync all your calendars, tasks and contacts from your mac to your phone.
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php
I used it with my 8525, and it worked without a problem. I've never tried it with my Tilt, but it should be the same.
Dave
yeah Missing Sync works great with Mac...you can sync more items than ActiveSync offers for Windows. Such as text messages...
Wow! I was expecting to browse this thread and see a ton of replies flaming Mac. Good to see the professionalism showing.

Well i am a MS fan, always been a user since the first time i used a computer, but am now employed by Apple (no, i refuse to use that iPhone, its truly not as good as people say it is), and to admit, there are many things Apple is better at than MS, but Mobile, Windows Mobile remains on top only because its so open.

you can try eltima syncmate. right now its still in beta. feature wise and simplicity I like it better than missing sync but that's just me.
When I had Tiger, the one thing missing sync had above syncmate was its ability to open my device as a disk in mac os x. But with leopard, this has been disabled (missing sync 4.02) You can read through the missing sync change log about this. If you still use tiger, try and get the last missing sync v3. If you have leopard, i'd advise using syncmate since it's free though there are still some bugs (i mainly use contacts sync and no issues there)

There is no need to flame Macs. They are now capable of running their own OS as well as a working one (how's that for professionalism )
Ok, I'm just a sarcastic jerk. I actually have a Vista computer, an iMac G5, my Tilt and I have an iPhone again (which is going on Craigslist...again!). I don't know how to synchronize with the Mac so I just use the PC. I couldn't care any less which of the computers I use. They both work.
wow! i'm glad tytn II can be synced with Mac! coz my Vista just crashed on me a few hours ago without any good reason but thank God it miraculously got revived!
so i'm really skeptical of Windows and plan on jumping over to Mac if ever any nonsense from Windows/Vista comes up again..

I have owned a qtek 9000, an HTC MeTeor, an HTC TyTN ll, and All have been WinMobile 5, smartphones, or WinMobile 6 Professional devices, and I can honestly say, that The Missing sync (on My MacBOOk Pro, OS X 10.5.6), I have had SIGNIFIGANT SYNCING ISSUES, AND SIGNIFANT BLUETOOTH ISSUES, THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE even been in the equation as I was cradled with a USB. I have tried it 6 ways from Sunday on at least 4 or 5 different devices and not fared much better. I am wondering if I brave enough to try to flas my ROM on my TyTN ll to the current version, but do it running Windows XP on my MAC through VMWarefusion (I think it would be easier than trying to do it with Parralells or Boot Camp) but honestly, I haven;t heard from anyone that has ever updated a ROM on Winmobile 5 or 6 device from a MAC. If you have, I would forever be in your debt to know how they did it and how it worked? Cheers, Shogunzero

It is not possible to flash from the Mac side, Leopard will not run the .exe's.
I have an Intel Imac running Windows XP through Bootcamp. I sync through Active Sync 4,5 to my Windows desktop with never a problem. I have also flashed many roms, radios, and upgrades also, and have never had a problem at all.
Since I run my business off of my Mac. I also need to sync my phone to my Mac side. What problems have you encountered ? Missing sync has been way better than AS for me. Never a problem.
Parallels is crap. Crappy software, crappy company. Bootcamp is way better and free. I can't believe I actually paid for Parallels.

Im sure its possible, as you CAN flash using tty on other devices under Linux. Dont forget, macs come standard with ssh/tty ( as they are Unix ).
Ive not done it on a kaiser yet ( Hardspl allows you to flash via MicroSD which is not only faster but a MUCH MUCH more stable way to do it ) But i remember messing with the roms on my hermes ( goofing with mobile linux ).
Im on a C2D Macbook Pro. I sync using MissingSync. I do ALL flashing by copying the nbh to the MicroSD. This is your safest, fastest, most efficient way of flashing ( Much faster than runing an exe on a windows system ). If you need help on how, shoot me a PM =)
Just a sidenote.....
POF made the HERMflasher and im SURE he has to have something available for the kaiser by now You might try to shoot him a PM to see if he has a source you could compile and port to the kaiser. If it can be done under linux, then more than likely you can do it under BSD Unix
When I asked this question last spring, the general concensus was possible, probably, but the tools weren't there yet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393869
I have never flashed from an SD card before. Just takes ten minutes on the PC in Win XP, never had a hitch, resistant to new ways I guess

Rohit8282 has a mac............. not xp. Simply telling him some useful information. Also, flashing via SD takes at most 5 minutes. There is NO RISK at all involving a data connection disruption OR power failures.
Just more helpful info
The OP was from a year ago, shogunzero searched and picked up this thread. ( yea, a noob who actually searched, good job) He has the same set up as me, running an Intel Mac with a partioned disk , running OSX Leopard on one side and Windows XP on the other side.
Suffice it to say , you cannot run the Kaiser RUU and flash Spl from OSX. Once you have SPL flashed on your phone , you can download custom roms onto OSX and transfer he files to your SD card and flash from your card.
Since I personally spend equal amounts of time on OSX and XP, I just do all my flashing and phone play from XP. Microsoft plays nice with Microsoft (why upset Bill and Steve)
If you are just updating your stock TyNT II rom then you can do it safely from your SDcard, If you want to flash a custom rom you need to initially use XP to flash HardSpl.
It is just as safe.
And if like pyraxiate, your really sweating that extra 5 mins, I just have an extra cup of coffee

LOL im with you on the coffee part, but the main reason I flash Via SD is because I flash about once or twice a week, and I keep a folder of roms as well as a folder of radios on the sdcard itself. If im out, I can swap things around at any time ( and because im an on-the-go technician this is a good thing). I can download the roms and install without ever using a computer. Very useful if one doesnt have windows at all
But, im having my cup of coffee now and flashing as we speak ( trying out a PDACorner Rom )
Being a noob at card flashing, you have a card that is just dedicated to roms ? You don't load roms on to your everyday card with music, ringtones and backups, and flash from that do you?

I do have multiple cards , but my last 10 flashes have been from my everyday card. I keep a folder inside called flash and inside flash are 3 subfolders ( Roms, Radios, Hard-SPL). I copy all of the nbh files to the appropriate directory path, then rename them to something id recognize like HDIII.nbh, L26M2D.nbh, PDAV14.nbh and for radios use the radio number. when I go to flash, simply copy/paste the rom/radio (HDIII.nbh) to the root of the SD card and rename it to KAISIMG.nbh ( do not cut/paste as you wil want the original later). just reset into botloader and viola there you go. flashing made easy hehe. (all but flashing SPL...thats done a tad differently from sd)
If you have any other questions feel free to ask
PS
I use 2x 8gb card and no issues yet (maybe 1K flashes now haha)

Ciao, Francesco
All,
recently I encountered a wired problem on my X1
first, it can't charge itself - either with PC or wall socket, when the device is turned on. It can only be charged when it is completely switched off.
second, it can't sync with PC. not detected by any computer.
I assumed it is the problem with the battery or the USB.
Tried to replace the battery but doesn't help.
Does anyone have the same situation before?
Should send back to SE for a service?
Many thanks!
Tigeron
Guys I renew the topic...
What are the current "hints" to do a successful Sync?
(X1 to Vista Laptop).
I get a ****ing Sync Error all the time.
So who does Sync here??!!
As for the first post, did you try swapping with another USB data cable to see if the cable is the culprit?
For the second post, did you try uninstalling and reinstalling (make sure that you do a "right-click" on the Windows Mobile Device Center software and choose "Run as Administrator"...had a similar problem with Windows 7...
AFAIK there are no solutions for XP and a couple for Vista. The first is the one with running as admin and the second I can't remember lol, but it gets posted every time in such threads. I don't think there is anything new...
I had such a thread some months ago and there were some solutions for Vista there. Check it out.
Great thanks for replies.
It's funny 'cos when I synced my P1 with Outlook,
and than synced Outlook with X1 all went fine.
Transferred all.
But I will try this Administrator boot of MobileCenter...
(when syncing Contacts, Tasks and Notes, only Tasks get connected....removing most of it from X1!
Happily I have amazing PPCPim Backup....)
Anyway I didn't use SE cable but a different one too.....
Well....
Why there's NO option to run WMDevice Center as Admin??
Guys, nobody here makes Sync?
Right now it's a ****ing piece of ****.
I can run Sync Center as admin but it doesn't change a thing, as well as running original SE cable. Fast file transfer works OK.
The PC starts Sync but finishes soon with error.
Of course no word WHAT fckn error it is!
While syncing it shows over 2600 contacts, while I have only 1333 on the device.
Really nobody has a damn clue?
I removed all my Outlook contacts and want to SYNC!
Is Microsoft such a loser?!

My x1a would ONLY charge with USB to the PC or when completely off - similar to you - couldn't wall charge or car charge with phone on.
I finally had it serviced under warrenty and it came back fixed in one week.
Have you tried creating a virtual machine running XP? I set up that once when I had the misfortune to have a laptop with Vista, it works fine & connects OK via ActiveSync

Aha, this way.
Ok, I'm not goin' to discuss this mater and I don't leave Vista - it's currently a very good OS.
Anyway getting rid of OS to improve Sync with a mobile device is plain crazy.
(That would mean nobody makes this Sync on the whole Universe what is not true and even I did before...)
