Hi all,
I have a problem with the Manager Comm :
when I push the button, the program runs(ShagCtrl) but when I push the buttons to activate/deactivate the wireless/bluetooth interface, seems that there is no comunication with the hardware side.
The icon says that the interface is activated but it's not!
On Linux the wifi/BT periferals work perfectly (Thanks again Pof!)
Anyone knows the reason for this problem?
Hi Guys
I seem to have the same problem as you. Vista SP1 totaly distroys your connections and I had to reinstall vista. FN+F3+F4 allows you to do this.
I also ound that the com manager stops working as mentioned by others and even a hard or soft rest does not work. see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417268 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421104 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421729
I am searching the threads in the hope of someone posting a solution. I an begining to think that a flashed rom or liberated version may be the solution. If anyone one has any ideas, I would like to hear them
Best regards.
Guys, maybe it's SP1 also causing problem but mine WLAN and BT became suddenly unavailable still with no SP1 installed and having all automatic updates OFF. I just hard reset Vista, gone thru all the installations and had WLAN and BT running fine for 2-3 weeks. It simply stopped working one day (recent HTC drivers were not installed anyway).
Afterwards I've installed all hot fixes from automatic updates, all HTC new drivers dated October 2008 but didn't help. MArvell WLAN drivers are installed fine but device cannot start with error code 10 in Device Manager.
Now installing SP1, will see...
One more thing, ShagCtr freezes when I try do enable either WLAN or BT and must be forced shut down.
SP1 keep installing... for last 1hr /
need to wait
Hi all,
I've had my Shift for a few weeks now, and have tried a few of the methods described here and in other forums to update from the HTC supplied Windows Vista to Windows 7.
I've consistently hit the problem that Shift Control Center (ShagCtrl.exe) crashes once I upgrade beyond a certain point, no matter which upgrade route I choose. I really want to have ShagCtrl to have control of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB etc. But I also really want to have Windows 7!
I've tried starting with an absolutely standard Vista as supplied by HTC. This is a pretty nice implementation of Vista, (as far as Vista can be nice!) and everything works as expected, with ShagCtrl available and working.
I've also tried taking a clean install of Windows 7 Ultimate onto a freshly formatted disk and installing all the drivers and programs as described.
Going the update route, everything (and in particular ShagCtrl) works until I apply the Vista SP1 update. At this point, ShagCtrl crashes with the message "ShagCtrl.exe has stopped responding. Click OK to search for a solution or...".Of course, no solution is offered!
If I go the fresh install of Windows 7 route, something similar happens. As soon as I install ShagCtrl and restart, ShagCtrl crashes in exactly the same way. I've tried running ShagCtrl.exe in Vista compatibility mode – still no go.
From comments here, it seems that some folks have a working Windows 7 with a working Shift Control Center. Can someone please give me a point-by-point description of what they did to achieve this? I really don't want to be stuck with an old version of Vista!
Thanks,
Richard

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.
Well I was one of those brave souls who decided to buy Vista and give it a whirl. Since this site isn't about Vista all I'll say is it's a pretty decent OS. Anyway I installed vista, installed Office 2007, and then installed Windows Mobile Device Center.
When i connected my wizard, running WM6, Vista found it and installed the drivers. No problem. Windows Mobile Device Center then opened and I set up the device. No problem. Windows Mobile Device Center then started to sync and it crashed. It gets through about 60 contacts and crashes everytime, after reboots and all.
I've tried this with Office 2007 and Office 2003, I've tried this with 3 different ROMs, and I have turned off and on the advanced networking functionality. Everytime it crashes!
Has anybody else experienced this problem? Can someone please tell me how I can sync my phone with Vista? Better yet, can someone please tell me how Microsoft has released a brand spanking new OS and their software to sync mobile users is still in a f'ing beta for RC1?!?!?!?!? Or maybe even when the final copy of Windows Mobile Device Center is to be expected?
Thanks.
i have no problems try to uninstall the WMDC and then reinstall it. I had the same problem once but then uninstalled it and reinstalled it an the poblem was gone no more hangings the only thing that doesnot work is the syncronisation with vistas media player it doesnot show the storage card in the phone but all other things work perfectly.
Uniinstall and then reinstall WMDC. When u go to Controlpanel >>> uniinstall programs>>>> u can see 2 programs of WMDC installed uninstall both of them and the reinstall the WMDC this will solve the problems u have.
Or try different USB places front or back side of the PC if the USB cable is at the back side of PC try to put it in front side if your PC have front side usb connection may be that helps if not then do the uninstall and reinstall thing i said above.
I have Vista Ultimate, had a slight problem syncing with Outlook, but then I dl a the device centre update, and now it works fine
Thanks, I'll try that when I get home tonight. Hopefully that works.
Has anybody heard anything about when the final release might be comming out?
That didn't work but Microsoft released a newer version, that works perfectly, that I posted links to in the main Wizard forum that can be found at the link below.

Hi,
since a couple of days, my XDA II doesn't sync any more. It has still worked finefor a long time, since I have updated to WM6.
With my Orbit 1 async is always working fine.
When I connect it to the PC, the PC is always looking for a USB Driver.
Configuration:
Win XP; Async 4.5
XDAII WM6 by Shekhar 70C40CS
What I've tried: - changing USB-Connection and cable
- hard and Softreset
- changing USB to PC advanced network
- reinstalled async
- trying another PC
- reinstalling WM6 - no way, cause there is no USB driver
Maybe, that it is a hardware problem; but I doubt it, cause everytime, when I connect it to the PC, the PC ist trying to install a driver. So I think, there might be a software problem into the Himalaya.
Any ideas?
Sync problem - missing Driver.
Same problem with me on my notebook. Ask for help in another thread a few week ago, and got the advice to swith to active sync 4.5. I did so on my desctop and it worked wonderfull. On my notebook I stayed on as 3.8 because of my xda II and my old mda I. After I upgraded all my three xda to German WM6 i switched to as 4.5 german. I was verry suprised to get that fault window about the missing driver for that prototype thing and changing the vendor.
Not a mess I still have the desktop to install .exe and then copy the .cab files I need to my sd-cards. It´s not the known problem with the firewall (zone alarm), but it is a good question why as an the desctop works and the notebook doesn´t. Next I try to install the copied as-file from the desktop. Don´t know if it helps, I post if it does.
Hi, I had exactly the same problem, but I solved it in seconds because of Your last thread, thanx.
I had configured my windows firewall with "no exceptions".
I reactivated /checked the firewall-exceptions for ActiveSync on the PC and activated the extended networkfunctions under usb to pc on the xda and immediately everything worked fine.
Solved my problem too. Nice to help you.
Fine that I helped you, it wasn´t my purpose.
I got rid of that dammned thing about the missing driver for Prototype.
Read the hints of Jo_III in Post #28 and #31:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341221
and follow exactly.
Insert in /windows with the name changed, rename it afterwards.
No question, why this is possible without the massage that it is impossible, as you get it, when you try to replace directly, but it works!!
Then soft reset and change /settings/connections Advanced Network Funtionality to disable/unchequed.
The funny thing with me is, that on my Dektop-PC both works.
Advanced Network Funktionality enabled the driver is for the Prototype.
This funktion disabled finds a WinCe Device.
Both works fine. No freesed PPC when disabled any more.
On my own notebook I can connect to the PC only in disabled Mode. When enabled this prototype driver problem is still there.
On the notebook of my beloved wife as4.0 recognizes the PPC an a WinCE Device but has a problem code 10. Think it´s normal as it is 4.0 and 4.5 installs new usbdriver while upgrading.
I tryed to upgrade to 4.5 and the windows installer crashed. I love it, really nice. I don´t want to fix this, I think, for me it is OK to ignore this.
This funny behavior, as i discribed it above, all my upgraded XDA/Qtek (all three of them) do.
PS. I use the German Rom of Teijalk with HTC Home and SCLPC++ Cube and I love it. Works perfekt and really fast and stable even with lots of proggis on RamDisk and few RAMStorage left, still really fast with my Pluscom WLan Card.
The Link is:

More stuff like this. Thank You - thombs up!
The info above is wrong.
Only on my Qtek this solved my problem. Both of my XDA can´t deaktivate RDNIS for serial connection, when I try to uncheque Advanced Net Funktionality.
Don´t know why, I did the same on the other device without an error.
(Now I examined, that I used Port 8 twice. Once for serial to USB connection and second for external GPS connection, so it wasn´t able to deactivate this funktion anymore. I changed Port and everything is fine again.)
Final problem solved
totoche330 got the solution to my XDA sync problem in the thread above.
After Hard reset (No,Yes,Yes) inserting and renaming the dll. Soft reset and deactivating adv net funktionality. Works.
Don´t know why it didn´t work as it worked with my Qtek with all the programs installed, but dosn´t matter.
The problem of my notebook might have some reason:
The missing driver is called a Remote Network Driver Interface Specification to USB (RNDIS).
I think, I disabled everything to remote, because of one up to 25 trojan attacks.
I cured my xp, but i didn´t do a new setup. On the other hand it´s the only XP-Pro SP2. Desktop and other notebook are Home Edition SP2, but this is not important anymore. All PPC sync and that´s what it was about.
Two or three hours work and all the progs are back again. I hope, you can solve your problems too. Good Luck.
Does noone can write a driver for the cf-slot of the backpack?
Sometimes after soft reset you have to cheque and uncheque adv net funktionality inorder to get synced!!
Hi all,
I'm usually able to solve problems like this myself, but after trying:
1.Fresh install of vista Ultimate x64
2.WMDC 6.0
3.WMDC 6.1
4.WMDC on AT&T provided Disc
5.Hard reset of tilt
6.Many Many restarts
7.Checking and unchecking the "enable advanced network functionality" In the USB to PC settings.
8.Reading every forum and troubleshooting guide I could find on the net even remotely related.
9.Uninstalling or disabling all firewalls and or virus protection.
I thought maybe just this once I'd actually just ask.
Strangest thing... it actually worked for a while, so I can't for the life of me figure why the clean install didn't work.
Description of problem is as follows:
Device goes through the motions and declares a connection most of the time. PC on the other hand installs either htc usb sync driver under Mobile Devices or Microsoft remote mobile device driver under networking depending on the whether the "enable advanced network functionality" box is checked or not, but does not install both drivers which I have read on some forums it should.
WMDC looks as though it's going to connect but usually hang at splash screen and if I start it manually it says "not connected" or occasionally a big X with ERROR and nothing else.
My current solution is not ideal. I am running a virtual machine with XP loading inside vista with activesync 4.5 and and outlook installed just so I can sync my phone...lol. Slightly less annoying than dual booting, but still seems a ridiculous thing to have to do.
So, anyone have a link to a magical forum that I missed or anything like that?
I am running Rom version 1.62.502.00 with Radio version 1.27.14.09 if that helps.
Hope others are having an easier time of this
~*-The.Great.ESCape-*~
or just call me Eric
Update: For whatever reason with no changes the phone and computer have apparently decided to cooperate again, and I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. Thank you for seeing if you could help though. It was actually quite frustrating. Hope everyone's having an awesome time playing with their Kaisers
Just tried to set it up again after a few months of it not working and an updated driver is now on Windows Update for you to use. Give it a shot!
Just wanted to post up for those who were feeling stuck like me.
Just installed Windows 7 Today and my kaiser doesnt sync. I tried teir new drivers and still nothing.
Yeah and Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 which comes with windows 7 doens't work with Windows Mobile 6.5 which Im running on My Kaiser. Im so pissed I upgraded to windows 7 ... i wish i was still on xp

Worked fine for me.
works fine in x64...atleast for me!
I can confirm 6.5 works with 7 x64 I can also confirm that I cant get this to connect to my 7 x32 netbook, I can make it do everything but ActiveSync which includes Internet sharring USB and Bluetooth.
I'm running x32 ... What do you mean it will do everything "BUT" activesync. Thats kinda what i need it to do.
Ok ... i figured it out finally. WMDC wouldnt even run or Install, i should say, even though there was a setting portion in Control panel for it.
I found a article about how It wont run without running windows media player first. ( fresh Install and never ran it yet) So I went to run it only to find out It didnt exist.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate N which didnt have any Media Software included. ( Didnt know that) So, I downloaded the whole media pack and installed. then I ran media player once and Voila! All the phone drivers installed properly, WMDC Installed properly, Phone connected and sync'd.
Whew!! I'm glad thats over. I almost went back to XP Pro.

Windows 7 Ultimate is pretty nice. If anyone wants it, let me know. I found a good torrent and saved the ISO to my files for safe keeping.

I'm running two PCs with windows 7, one desktop with Windows 7 Professional (home) and a laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate (office). Currently I'm trying to sync to my laptop since that is what I sync to most.
After reading your post, this is what I tried:
1. Windows updates, it did install some windows mobile thingy which failed. I rebooted the machine, re-ran the update and it installed fine
2. Tried installing Windows Mobile Device Centre 6.1 (64-bit version) again, but it failed. Same message of Unidentified device and status of failed
3. I also tried your solution of keeping windows media player running before attempting to install WMDC, but no joy
Can someone please let me know how I go about this? This is frustrating, if I can't synch my pda I might as well throw it out (since I can't chuck out my laptop or job )
BTW, I'm running Windows Mobile 6.1, should I be upgrading this to 6.5 as I have read out here? I've searched on this forum but can't seem to find a download link for 6.5 (or perhaps as ASCIIker pointed out I'm going blind )
Mobile Device Center
I read this post and then was successful at installing device center. It was a weird install though. I am running 6.5 on the Tilt and Windows 7 64 bit on my laptop. I plugged the Tilt into the computer, started Media Player and configured it, and then launched the installer. It ran forever with the status bar saying 7 seconds to go. All the while, the diriver software was still trying to install. I finally got an error message from the driver software saying that it did not install properly. I opened up the troubleshooting box for the driver install and looked around a bit. Eventually, another message popped up in the driver install box saying it was trying again. Eventually, I another failure appeared. At that point, Device centered finished installing, the Tilt connected and all was well.
Total elasped time 20 minutes or so. Enough time to read a couple of pages on a new (to me) Andre Norton book and eat most of a popcorn popper full of popcorn.
Whew.
Nice to know it got solved.
It works fine for me:

This is the part I don't get, what exactly do I configure in Windows Media player? I plug in my phone, however, it doesn't seem to do anything, if I start windows media player and go to the sync tab, it is greyed out with the message 'Connect a device' Do you also uncheck the 'Enable faster data synchronization'? If I uncheck this, it does seem to try and install drivers for some 'Generic Serial' device but eventually comes back with 'Failed'

Well, I've tried the installer a zillion times now, no luck. It keeps trying for a couple of minutes with an 'Unidentified device' message and changes the status to failed subsequently
Why should it be so hard, I thought Windows 7 was supposed to make life easier, they obviously haven't heard of the phrase, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'
any solution?
Please. Iam really sick of it.
I can move files to kaiser, I can install via PC, I can acces my PDA via My Mobiler - but I can't sync! It just cycling the arrows and "syncing".
Please help, it really sux without contacts and calendar and you know - outlook.
The media center was just the initial configuration that runs when you first start it up.

Kaiser TPC 11 mega and WMDC
The only way I've gotten Windows 7 WMDC to recognize my Tilt using TPC 11 Mega ROM is to connect using PAN over Bluetooth. I think the problem is that it doesn't report to Windows 7 that it's a Tilt or that Windows somehow knows that it's not supposed be running WM 6.5. Kinda sucks, but at least it works. To reflash I had to use the SD card since USB won't work.
I tried everything under the sun to get it working over USB. Finally had a friend with a Sprint Touch connect his using USB and it came right up, showed a little picture of his phone and worked fine. So it's definitely something in the way my Kaiser/Tilt is reporting the device to Windows. My phone is recognized by W7 and displays as a PDA, not a phone.
I'm on build 7100 and my Kaiser has been syncing flawlessly for months. My new Droid, on the other hand...No happiness yet. I've already made the call to swap the Droid for a TP2 strait across.
Been running 7 for a while now, both 32 bit and 64 bit dual boot. I've never had any issues with it not syncing, otherwise I would never be able to flash any ROMs on my phone. I even reformatted and reinstalled both after getting a legit copy from the MS Tour and it still works fine.
