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.

Strategies for dealing with radio ROM update 114 errors
I had this problem last week and recovered from it. At first it looked pretty bad, nothing seemed to work. I looked the Internet up and down and in most forums, including this one, people agreed that nothing could be done about error 114, the mainboard of the BA needed replacement, etc.
When I finally did fully recover from this situation, it was from a combination of measures that I took and as I don't really know which one actually did the trick, I'll try to describe all of them even though not all will probably apply to others. Another problem is that I probably won't be able to remember them all, but anyway, here goes:
1) I downloaded the latest full official ROM update from site of the carrier this phone was branded for, in this case T-Mobile. It included a radio ROM, albeit version 1.13.0, not 1.15.0 which is the one I had been trying to flash. I decided it would be best to go back to that official version first.
2) I had been trying to do the radio ROM upgrade from a Macintosh (OSX) under Virtual PC. I have since done several ROM installations (without the radio part) from the Mac/VPC which worked fine, but since people had observed that radio ROM updates seem to be more sensitive than fiddling with the normal ROM, I decided to fire up my "real" PC, which runs WIndows XP, SP2, with Active Sync 4.5.
3) As others had suggested, I made sure that I had my cradle connected directly to a USB port on the computer; before I had been trying to go trough a hub. I also made sure the cradle was connected to the power adapter.
4) I had unlocked my device before to work with a non-T-mobile SIM card, but since I wasn't sure wether or not SIM/Net lock problems might still interfere with radio upgrades, I took my SIM card out of the unit, as well as the SD card -- trying to eliminate as many potential sources of screw-up as possible.
5) I think I tried to set my BA into as much of a defined state as I could by hard-resetting it and THEN invoking boot loader mode. I don't remember whether or not this was possible as the device was not reacting much to anything at the time.
6) On the Windows PC, I opened Active Sync, then went to Connection Settings and explicitly disabled the USB connection. I then quit Active Sync and invoked the Windows task manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to check that no other processes were running. Trying to cut out interference as much as poosible ...
7) I then proceeded to flash the official ROM version, which went flawlessly including the Radio ROM, took less than fifteen minutes in all. To be honest, I don't remember which ROM upgrade utility (BaUpgradeUt/MaUpgradeUt_noID) I used ... sorry. I know I tried whatever was included with the T-Mobile download first.
After that, I verified that everything was working again, then immediately flashed Radio ROM 1.15.0 as I had originally intended. This time it went uneventfully.
Hope some of this helps, I know how frustrated you must be at this point.
Good luck!

thanks a lot
i'm going to follow your instruction today.
regards to all

So did you have any luck?

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.

I used my other computer (Win XP) to flash my htc diamond with the newest swedish rom...and now it will even work connecting to my vista computer.
Good luck with your phone

sync failed

I`ve installed WM 6.5 in my Qtek 9090, and when i put in dock to syncronize with my pc, said that the USB port is no longer availabile, chose another way to syncronize, or install a synchronazation software from the getting started disc... but i dont have this disk. what can i do to sync my phone with pc?

first of all, perform a hard reset by pressing power+reset+camera+record, in the menu that appears, set
Enable Kitl NO
Format Storage YES
Clear Registry Hive YES
using the camera and record buttons, confirm with the mail button.
make sure you delete older sync partnerships on your pc, you need to set up a new one.
if bot those actions did not work, try another usb port or finally flashing the rom again or maybe another rom, there are certain builds out there, that have sync issues, which one did you pick exactly?

Same problem
I have just updated a SPV M2000 to WM6.5 and cannot sync
I have tried a virgin PC running XP and this doesn't communicate. The USB connection is recognised by the PC but neither active sync works nor does the file manager recognise the PDA.
The PDA says that the USB port is a problem.
Can I still reupgrade? Maybe should I try an earlier version?
Is there a "known good" version of WM6.5 for SPV M2000?
Thanks for your help

hi and welcome to the forum.
what rom are you using (build number, chef)?
are you sure you followed the right upgrade procedure to the point? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4706441&postcount=2
especially the hard reset at the end is important and might help your case here.
yes, you will be able to upgrade/downgrade to change the rom, as long as activesync 4.5 is installed on a windows xp pc. that brings the needed driver for the device to connect, also if you can't sync.
there are many good wm6.5 roms here, just go to the blueangel rom development section and look at the different releases.

Same Problem sorted
Problem sorted.
Before you replied I tried one of the ROMs you recommended and Eureka.
This forum is really useful - thanks
I wonder if you can point me in the right direction. My real reason for upgrading the Blue Angel was to see if it would run Tom Tom Navigator 7 which needs WM6. It won't. I simply get the answer Program not for this device even though I am now running quite successfully WM6.5.

[Q] Sync over USB problem

Hello,
I'm having issue synchronizing my Xperia X1 with my PC using ActiveSync or WMDC.
Powering my battery works but sync doesn't. I tried 2 other USB cables and same problem occur.
I tried different PC but still I have same problem. I event went back to original Stock and this doesn't helps also.
Should I send my device for fix? I have warranty? I can reverse to original Stock and put back original boot loader.
Hopefully they will fix it but if they don't I cannot add custom ROM any more

You can go and get a card reader to have your sd mini read in the pc, I got mine with 5 EUR and it also supports several type of cards. Also keep in mind that read/write speed is faster with a card reader than plugging your device in Disk Drive mode and this can be convenient sometimes
Good luck with the repair. If you revert to stock SPL and to stock rom and if your time of warranty is not up then you should have no problems, although in my country the service center sucks, they try to make you pay as much as possible...

I manage to resolve this issue. I revers back to my stock ROM 6.1 and still I cannot sync. Then I put back radio 1.10.25.18 and it START TO WORK !!!! I can sync now without any problem and it works now with 6.5 ROM and different radio.
This was last step before I want to return it to SonyEricsson service.

Usb problem

usb probem
how to update the radio 1.10.25.85 on xperia x1 by the micro sd card? since the usb is not working? thanks!

same as you update your ROM, just rename radio file to KOVSIMG.nbh and update it. Hope this will work for you also.

yes I do this procedure [KOVSimg.nbh] but gets caught in tla loading. WHAT do I do now .thanks!

there is no difference in flashing ROM and Radio, can you maybe check that you do all proceudre correctly? maybe you should download Radio from some other place, maybe is broken

i have the same problem...the battery is recharging but it cannot sync...maybe it has something to do with the version of windows...i was using windows vista and windows mobile device center and it synced and all was ok...but now i have windows 7 ultimate x64 and even though i downloaded the mobile device center it does not recognise the phone when i plug it in activesync mode....it still works perfectly in USB drive mode....but i cannot flash a new rom through the usb method now...recently tried it on a friends pc with windows xp and activesync and worked just fine...any thoughts on that??..

ok. I tried everything. [xperia x1] is not reconhesido by [usb].
neither the radio rom can be clicked. [already downloaded several saiter]. it hangs in louding

I've the same problem occured before but I'm not sure if it's as simple as mine.
All I did was disable "Faster Transfer" under Active Sync radio Button in USB 2 PC (Control Panel), hope it's helpful.

Ok, I'd try this, but I have two questions:
1) can any body give the link to the old Radio rom?
2) I already have a 828x rom installed. is that compatible with the old rom?

hm, OT post
1) radio selection, don't forget to install a matching rilphone.dll
2) afaik those two (meaning radio rom and normal rom) are not related like that, radios should work in all versions on all roms
it might be, that you suffer less functionality/signal strength when using an older radio version, but that is regionally different and cannot be generalized
hope you find your ideal combo
Best, DK
