Help with Activesync 4.x and HTC Wizard - Cannot sync

I have an unlocked Cingular 8125 (i.e. HTC Wizard). I am currently 'connected' to my desktop but I am unable to sync. I have read many posts on here and elsewhere and I am unable to find an answer to my question.
Here are the pertinent facts.
I have Activesync 4.2 beta installed. No other PPC devices are on my system. I have deleted my partnership several times. I have installed and uninstalled the Activesync program. I have deleted the Activesync directories from my programs. I have emptied out my inbox.
I have soft reset more times than I can imagine (I have not hard reset as I am fearful that I will lock my 8125 and I do not have the unlock codes nor, from the posts, does that appear to be necessary).
My device is connected. It shows up as Windows Mobile Device #8 in the Network Adapters portion of the Device Manager in my control settings.
I can explore on my device.
The options for syncing are just not there. On my desktop or on the device I can hit 'sync' and nothing happens. Nothing.
I am just not sure what to do at this point.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Maybe stupid suggestion, but in the Active sync connection settings on your desktop pc, did you enable usb-connections? If not, try that, should help

Yes. In fact, I unplugged the 8125 from a USB hub and plugged it directly into the PC as I read that sometimes the hub can be a problem. I thought I said this the first time, but I had to retype my post.
It did sync the first time. I was in the process of installing third party software when it stopped working. I cannot sync nor install any software (or remove software) at this time.

I cannot seem to be able to load that file. I can only Explore on my 8125. I can extract the .cab file to my desktop and I can copy the unextracted .cab file to the 8125 (or the extracted files) but I cannot install the program.
Any suggestions?

Have you made sure the correct things are checked under the properties for the network adapter?
"In the "Properties" Window, be sure to uncheck all check-boxes in the "This connection uses the following items:" list EXCEPT for:
* Client for Microsoft Networks
* File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
* Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)"

I am still in the same state.
It 'connects' but will not sync.
Again:
I unistalled Activesync
I deleted the folder ...\programfiles\microsoftactivesyc and all the files
I cleared out my garbage can
I checked my firewall exceptions
I checked Norton antivirus and I am not running a firewall there
I checked the Network connections and made sure that the correct three boxes in the properties for the network remained checked
I plugged the device directly into the USB of the computer
I soft reset my device
I rebooted my computer
One thing I do note when checking the properties of the network connections is that windows refers to this as Windows Mobile Device #9. I have deleted all other devices so that only one device is showing up. I am not sure why it still finds this as device #9.
Questions:
Might this be an outlook problem? Should I try and repair outlook?
Might a hard-reset help me? One thing I cannot do even though I am 'connected' is install any programs. It gives me an error message everytime. I can, however, add files to the storage card (e.g. mapopolis maps).
I have an unlocked 8125. I am happy to do a hard reset but I am woried that I will have to unlock the phone again. Does anyone know if that is the case?
Can anyone help me please!

try to upgrade to the most updated ROM - 2.25
it worked 4 me.

Todah rabah.
I will try it

Activesync error 80072f7d

I am using Activesync 4.5.0 (Build 5096) on my WinXP laptop to sync the AT&T Tilt with my laptop and outlook exchange. I have no problem with Activesync over the cellular network or wifi, but when I connect the USB and it automatically launches Activesync on the laptop, I see this error on the PC side. Looks like it is able to sync everything except the Outlook data. I looked for this error code on Microsoft site, but I don't see much details about this error code. I have installed additional SSL certificates to see if that resolves the issue, but it didn't. I have had this issue from Day-1.
It is not an issue as long as I am in USA where I have cellular data service to get the emails/appointments/contacts into my phone over the cellular network. However, when I travel, I don't plan to pay for the exhorbitant roaming charges and so would like to use the USB link to sync the info.
Has anyone else faced this problem? Is there a solution?

I heard they had wifi overseas, too. Supposedly its not that exhorbitant, and possibly more convenient than keeping a laptop with you at all times to sync your PIM stuff.

I do carry a travel router with me everywhere with my laptop while on travel to create an instant wifi access point. However, if I am sitting in one of our offices and have a LAN connection to my laptop, I don't see why I can't get my USB connection to work. I am sure there are others who need to sync up Outlook while the phone is connected to the laptop for charging purpose.

Saw this on a site, might want to check it out:

" Support Code:80072f7d
Fixes:
Note that this involves registry changes so be careful with it.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000
This site has the registry file that you can double click and modify.
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/LSPvalue.reg
This disables the Layered Service Provider (LSP) that use the Windows TCP/IP stack. "
Don't know if that will work,but worth a try.
Make sure to export your original reg key first so if it doesn't help you can always change it back.

I tried the registry addition on the phone just now and then rebooted the phone. But, it didn't help. I have seen this discussion on pdaphone forum, but it is not clear whether it should be done on the phone or the PC side. Chris Herrera's site is also not very clear about it. The file has a .reg extension. Does the extension indicate where it should be run? I manually added the parameter on the phone.

hmm,
good question, and searching both my Vista laptop and my Tilt registry, didn't even come up with that key, but it may be making a new key.
If it didn't work on the phone,try the pc, and if it that doesn't help, was worth a shot.

This is a two part problem.....
The first thing you need to do is add the reg entry to your PC not your Tilt. You can download and run the reg entry from
http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/LSPvalue.reg
or you can add the line to your reg using regedit.....
The second part is changing the connection settings within ActiveSync....
- Go to File/Connection Settings within ActiveSync...
- Go to the drop down box that reads "This Computer Connects to:" and change that from "Auto" to "The Internet"
Those two items fixed my errors......
Good luck....

The last suggestion fixed it for me.
The funny part is that this is a problem only on my work laptop. At home I have no issues.
Thanks

worked for me too
...but it didn't work with dutty's...using RynCpprV6 at the moment.
I think it is something to do with my work PC..

Just want to chime in and say this fixed the activesync error 80072f7d for me too!
(added HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000, didn't reboot, and File/Connection Settings within ActiveSync changed from "Auto" to "The Internet")

Another thumbs up. Works a treat. Didn't even need to reboot.

Laptop sees different Bluetooth device name????

Seems a bit odd this. Have a HTC Tytn II and am very pleased (just trying to determine if I actually NEED the various software I'm trialling such as Mobile Shell or whether it's just NICE to have!!). Only one issue that's not a big deal but I cannot fathom how it's happening.
I flashed the device with the new HTC WM 6.1 ROM and before connecting or doing anything I gave the device a name under About/Device ID. Now, when I switch on bluetooth and make discoverable to connect to the laptop for bluetooth syncs the laptop sees the device fine but actually recognises it as my name and not the device name which I gave the TyTn. Like I say, no big deal but I can't fathom how to get the correct device name to come up. Is it something on the device or the PC. Main concern is that if I want to connect with other people's devices and tell them the device name I have entered, it may not show up. Odd???

this is just a case of your PC "remembering" the BT MAC address of your phone and associating it with the old name.
You can normally clear out your PC of old BT names no longer needed.
On PC - go to START> Control Panel> Bluetooth > Devices
Just click on device name and select "remove".
When you re-pair it should see the new name.
Hope this helps you.

That's great, thanks. I'm about TyTn'd out now having spent the best part of a week doing nothing else but learning it, flashing it, installing apps and inputting data. Yesterday was a particular marathon!!! I'll have a look at this tomorrow.

Remove Programs list empty, Cannot sync, Internal Storage read-only, Cannot install

This bug affects other Windows Mobile devices as well, it is not a Diamond issue. There are a few threads on XDA-Dev on the subject, but none of the remedies suggested worked on my Diamond.
I am using 6.1, with the official 1.93WWE ROM. Mine is the unlocked GSM version.
Symptoms are:
- Device can connect the desktop through USB, but all files are read only. I can edit/delete files on the device itself, but not by browsing them on the desktop.
- Windows Mobile Device Manager just says "Error". No codes, nothing. Very helpful(!).
- No Outlook syncing, obviously.
- Device continues to function, but no programs can be installed/uninstalled. Remove Programs list is empty.
When/how does this happen?
- I think it happens during a sync. My diamond locked up during sync, I had to soft-reset it. It affected something on the PDA, not the desktop (I think).
Why does it happen?
- Googling is no help. MSDN has no clues. A few places suggest generic remedies, such as re-establishing the pairing with desktop (doesn't work), tweaking security policies on the PDA registry (no go), etc.
Is it solvable?
- The universal remedy: hard reset, resync, reinstall, retweak. Tons of fun. And there is no guarantee it won't happen again, since I don't know why it happened in the first place.
It's a shame this can happen so easily: Third time in the last two weeks. It had never happened to me before, and I bought the Diamond soon after it came out.
Does anybody have a cure?
Barring that, does anybody know why/how this happens, so it can be avoided?
Last of all:
Could somebody with a Diamond please share their Security Policies registry settings here, so I can try them? (Please do not put it as a cab file, since I can't install anything)
Thank you.

[Q] WMDC synchro never ends

My lovely Diamond don't want to synchronize anymore.
In fact, the synchronization starts, but it never ends (I've waited more than 30').
I've tried to remove the pairing on both my Win7x64 PC and the WiMo 6.1; but it doesn't solve the problem.
The PC and the phone to correctly interconnect as the pairing is re-created, the Wimo SW installation popup is shown.
I can navigate into both phone's flash and internal storage.
Additionnaly, a Generic RNDIS modem appears into the peripheral windows.
SplashID (I was a PalmOS user) is able to detect if I set different password on PC and Wimo; but report a sync fail when I set both password identical.
I've lost all my contacts due to device unpairing.
Can someone help me, it's driving me nuts !
PS: Note to moderator: perhaps I had to put my request in the "General discussion / Q&A"; if so don't hesitate to move it there.
