ROM Update with Vista, any possibility?

Hello,
since a couple of days I try to upgrade my Trinity with a new Rom, but I have no chance. I get this message Erros 260:Connection , so do somebody know how I can flash my Rom under Vista?It would be very nice, thanks a lot!

turn off usb-connection in windows mobile device center, and try again!
if it doesn't work, try "des bootloader", start it and try to flash again.
perhaps you need activesync 4 drivers for your device, i found them somewhere in this board
good luck

thanks a lot, where can I find the active sync drivers, I searched but I found nothing, anybody an idea?

Vista in my eyes is almost perfect - never had any issue!
- using three external hard drives without any problem
- syncing with my Wizard (of course WMDC doesn't "store" contacts, it just syncs them with an Exchange server or Outlook - and it does it even better than ActiveSync)
- and all other stuff I did previously with XP (except ROM upgrading of my Wizard - but that's not a problem of Vista as there are already upgrade tools, we just don't have them so far cause no operator released any upgrade recently or the gurus here haven't been able to hack it to accept custom ROMs)

Hey can you tell me how to make my version of wmdc do what you say your does? As far as syncing the contacts and setting up my mobile email? I only had vista for about a week now and trying to figure it out; i was so dependant on XP but had to move on. Any help will be appreciated.

Actually there are no "tweaks" to make it do what is is supposed to do - it did it straight away! I have no idea where you have problems - WMDC has exactly the same functionality (and some additions to AS) and same options, just different interface. Just go to "mobile device settings" or whatever it is called (I am using the German version) and set it up to sync whatever you want to sync...
If it doesn't work try to delete the partnership and set up a new one...

Microsoft ActiveSync On Mac OS X

I recently switched to a Mac and was wondering if anyone knew the alternative to Microsoft ActiveSync on Mac OS X. I did a brief search and came up with information about Microsoft Entourage [which I do have on my Mac] and was just wondering if anyone has experience with this? If I plug my Tilt right into my Mac, will Entourage pick it up or what?
Thanks in advance, Walt.

For Mac OS X, you need a (non-free) software called Missing Sync.
Or you can use Parallels to run Windows XP and ActiveSync from within Mac OS.

I have an iMac running Leopard and I run Missing Sync. Works great for me. Syncs Address Book, iCal , iPhoto , Tasks, Phone Log, even iTunes (non DRM ) music.
I also have my Tilt sync'd to the Windows XP side of my Mac because the one thing you cannot do through Missing Sync is flash new roms or radios. That can only be done through Windows. But I use Bootcamp , I used to use Parallels but their support for their product is non existent.
I needed help with a setting and emailed them and Nova Development no less than 15 times, never even an acknowledgement. Bootcamp is free runs smoother and has better graphics compatibility.
You will need a Windows machine for updates.

syncmate
syncmate is free and works great for me. Im running leopard on a powerbook.

same here, no complaints at all ..

i recommend u have dual system - get windows xp as a virtual machine it will be cost effective and more reliable especially if you are a flashing man like the rest of us
best regards

On my MacBook Pro, Missing Sync.
One note on uploading ROM's. I was able at one time to do it using Parallels but recently one of Dutty's ROMs locked my Tilt in the Tri color screen. It wasn't the ROM, something had change either in a new version of Parallels or OSX. Moving over to an old Toshiba fixed the phone. I've since tested it again and it still fails on Parallels. Just a word to the wise.

Same thing happened with me under parallels. I can still flash radio firmware and splashes using Parallels, but when flashing the entire rom, its like the connection gets interrupted or timed out. I was previously able to do it before so Im positive its either a parallels or OSX issue when it updated.
Dual boot and use WinDoZe to handle the rom flashing, but honestly Missing sync works great for the contacts / address book info / ect.
=D

I tried to reply to your post maybe 3 different times last night through opera on my device but failed...
anyway i'm on the same boat. Have misssing sync but dont use it much.. my main mode of connectivity is on windows running through vmware's fusion... no problems what so ever with flashing roms.. i used to use parallel's but tried out fusion and liked it a lot better! highly recommend it.

Funny thing... I have Fusion and never tried to flash through it. Ill give that a shot. TY for the input there

I tried quickly to get my Wizard syncing with a VirtualBox VM with no success. Does someone use VirtualBox to connect to a WM device?

WM6/Kaiser and Apple Mac OS X?

My friend got a tilt after he saw my awesome pimped up tilt in my hand... problem is.. he only have a mac (that sucks), and he have no way of syncing his data with his Mac
Now anyone with any experience hooking up wm6 to sync with a Mac for calenders and contacts and notes and file installation and stuff? I heard SyncMate, and it's free, anyone who uses mac using it? is it any good? Any other suggestions for syncing between mac and wm6 devices?
Thanks for your input.

Search for "The Missing Sync"

I haven't tried it with my Kaiser yet, but SyncMate worked okay with my Hermes.
The downside of SyncMate is that it needs to install its own USB driver (since it doesn't use ActiveSync), and that driver conflicts with WM5torage - mind you, since WM5torage is hit/miss on the Kaiser anyway, it might not be that big of a deal.
It worked for data synchronization, but accessing the device as a file system is "experimental".

Try The Missing Sync......its not free, but with sync with entourage aswell as mail/icontact etc. Also mounts the phone as a drive for file transfer!

missingsync
he should be happy, MAC is way better, but that's now offtopic

I just messed around with SyncMate, which works perfectly for me. I hear much less complaints on SyncMate compared to The Missing Sync.
Syncing notes: You'd have to get the expert edition for $39,95. It syncs with Stickies as far as I know, haven't tried it yet (cheap Dutch guy )
Installing files: you can mount the complete device on your mac, and transfer .cab files over to the phone.
In short: SyncMate by Eltima software
PS: also read this discussion

Sync Diamond with Ubuntu

Hi,
Thought I'd start a thread to see if anyone has had any luck trying to Sync the Diamond (Windows Mobile 6.1) and Ubuntu (Evolution, Thunderbird or otherwise).
I found this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391587
which lead to this one
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30936
but it seems miles out of date (May 2005)
If you have any solutions please let me know.
Cheers,

Hi,
it seems possible to sync WM 6.1 with Linux by synce.
But it is quite a lot to configure:
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
I will be switching to Mandriva because it has integrated WM synchronisation:
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1_Synchronization
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMNpI3RUwo8
Cheers!

I've heard that Mandriva has better sync abilities with WM6.1 as well, but as its open source, I would have thought that whatever Mandriva is doing can be done for Ubuntu.
When you setup Mandriva can you let me know what systems and processes are in place for the sync?
Cheers,
P

Hmm i would also like to see that, ive been trying to sync wm6 in fedora for months!!

i installed mandriva 2009 today and i can assure you it fully syncs with my htc touch running wm6. i really like mandriva but had to uninstall it because my printer was not supported. im more of a ubuntu guy myself and i agree the new version 8.10 should support syncing but i don't think it will.

Kolab Server - Kubuntu (Kontact) - ActiveSync
Hi guys,
I got it working with Kolab-Server (http://www.kolab.org), which is only needed if you need an Exchange-type collaboration server, kontact (http://pim.kde.org) and my Touch.
So basically ActiveSync on TD is communicating with kontact. I used the following tutorial:
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
This one should also work with Evolution, but I haven't tried it myself.
Hope it helps,
regards,
e

Here's a closed thread about the Mandriva sync in Ubuntu with the developer:

I'd love to see some instructions of how to get this set up in Intrepid. This is the only thing I boot into Windows for.

There's a utility called HTCFlasher (found on these forums). Does that not work with the TD?
EDIT: See here

That's for flashing ROMs, not for syncing PIM data

Strange why I would post that. I synced my TyTN with this site using evolution - http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceInstallation
I am yet to try the TD

Any of you guys try this?

LINK Phone Data Manager. Microsoft.
EDIT:
If your phone has a Windows Mobile Operating system, in general, Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta will work with it; please note that for Windows Mobile phones, Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta will work only via a USB data cable connection.

The Touch Diamond is a smart phone....
Just installed it, backing up files now. Seems to work fine.
Though I prefer syncing contacts with outlook instead of Windows Live.

The main problem with this is that there is no way to manage the contacts unless you use Hotmail as your email provider. This is an issue I've been trying to get MS to change for ages.

i just hope PPCPimBackup still works with the Diamond. i dont see why not since my mogul is running WM6.1 too.
great program and incredibly easy to use
