ROM update problems. - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Well, I am trying to update the ROM on my Diamond.
Ive downloaded all the necessary things for it, but when ever I connect my Diamond through ActiveSync nothing happens. (Im running XP on my laptop).
Is there software (other than the Hard-spl) that I need for my computer or is it the device?
Thanks, Ben.

Dont worry, I forgot I didnt have activesync installed.
I feel so stupid ):

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?

Of course I have. Even I tried on another computer.

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.

MS VISTA - BOOTLOADER ?

hello all
i posted this else where in this forum as i thought this wouldnt be the right place at the time and maybe still isnt.. but i wanted to see if anyone has found a fix for this..
microsofts new OS - VISTA (BETA)does not like the boatloaders i have to break out my work laptop to install my rom updates.. I can load application via the new sync mgr. but whne it comes to upgrading / downgrading rom NADA !
anyone else out there beta testing vista .. ?or maybe know why ? i am not ewven sure where the heck to look .. I dont think it recognizes the USB for some odd reason in the bootloader app.
im runnin Vista and i had no problems at all..

Very new person, why am i having so much trouble?

When I run the wizard update for rom or radio or anything it says one of two things on my pc, 1. that there is a connection error and or 2. That the program needs to close because it says so. Im sure there is a simple fix to this issue but i just dont know it.
Thanks
I think I know why
After reading through the posts I discovered why I am having so much trouble. Reason being last week I upgraded to Vista, which would explain alot.
Anyone know a way arround this problem?

Downgrade to XP...
There are lots of issues with the rom updater and Vista. Unfortunately until a new version of the rom update utility comes out (or some other new method) its going to be an issue.
Not only RUU, WMDC itself sometimes get problems in Vista.
When I connect the Wizard to PC, sometimes WMDC does not show up, and the PPC is not present in My Computer, and you will see a yello exclamation in device manager!
The only thing I can do is to remove the device complete from device manager and let it detects again, then I can use it again for several times.

can't hardSPL

I have read everything I can find and still no answer.
I am trying to hardspl my tmousa rhodium. I've been at flashing for over a year with my kaiser, so I am not a noob.
I activesync the phone, I download the hardspl, extract to an empty folder and when I try to run it doesn't do anything. It seems to me like the program either fails to load completely or self terminates.
Rebooted both pc and phone, made sure drivers and wmdc are up to date, and still nothing. I am running Rockersteam windows 7 64 bit (7100). Anyone else have this problem

Your best bet would be to post this question in the HardSPL thread. The users in that thread have been very helpful to other users experiencing issues flashing HardSPL.

[Q] wp 7.5 (8773) update problem

Hi!
I'm running ansvr's wp 7.5 (8773) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476058 firmware, but i would like tu upgrade my phone to 7.8.
When I try to flash any other rom wmdc dosen't recognize my phone so I can't do anything. I've searched in this forum but it seems that I am the only one with this problem. Btw I have no problem with zune, it recognizes my phone normaly and I can sync and everything...
I'm new to WP so I'm not familiar with most of the procedures so I don't know is there something that I need to set on the phone or on my pc so I could solve this problem?
Thanks!!!
I was playing with u2m8107 and I dont know what i did but my firmware now is 7720...???
If anybody has an idea what happend...

ngehing royal
I tried, but like i wrote in previous post, i cant sync my phone with wmdc. I will try today on win xp and see what happens
