Sync with Windows 7

Anyone know how to sync with Windows 7???
I've tried to install Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it don't recognize my phone.. And ActiveSync won't even be installed due to compability reasons. (Doh, it's Win7)
I really like Win7, so it would be great to sync the phone

Try another cable or something, the mobile center should work.

But the mobile is charging =/ So i don't think something is wrong with the cable and it worked just fine in XP (ActiveSync). And when I connected the mobile first time, the PC recognized it and installed the drivers for the mobile and the ActiveSync started on the mobile. Should it start on the phone when mobile center is running on the PC?

So does that mean you didn't try anothe cable? Because if you had researched this sort of thing (aka searched) you would find that the cables do this quite often.

i don't know what is the issue for you as i have win7rc1 and i can sync fine using the mobile device center.

If you are using 64bit Windows 7 then you need to download the updated drivers for the HTC. I am not sure exactly where Microsoft has these located, but it automatically downloaded and installed the new USB drivers that it needed just the other day for me......
Works excellent. I was using the 32 Bit version of Windows 7 before this and even though its based under Vista couldn't get it to synch up.

I have Win7 64 bit...with internet already established through another source, when I plugged in my tilt, it found the driver and installed it and has worked flawlessly ever since.

Works fine for me too on Win7 x64.
First, try another cable. USB has 4 connections, only 2 are needed to make it charge, but for communication it needs all 4. Maybe try another USB port on your PC as well.
And as said before, make sure you have an internet connection so it can download the drivers.
WMDC is already built in with Win7, so don't install any other versions from Microsoft Download Center.

Works fine for Win7 x64.
but Win7 x86 "NO"
you can use virtual XP mode for 32bit version

Updates?
Hi. I had this same problem following a hard-reset of my phone. After a while of searching I found that an update (designed for Vista) is available on the microsoft website. Downloaded, installed and sync worked first time. Yey

It should work with Win 7 RC 32 bit - does for me!

Then you're doing something wrong (such as not having the TyTN II correctly connected to your desktop PC or not having internet access on it to download whats required perhaps). I plugged my TyTN II into my Win 7 RC (32 bit) PC and after a bit of hardware detection and some automatic downloading it works (allbeit still with slow file tranfers but at least the UI is better than Win XPs Activesync). Welcome to xda-dev by the way

I think that it matters wether or not it's Windows7 RC.. Right after it came out someone was using the beta and it wouldn't work for them.

I was wondering the same but as the RC version is still avail for free until 20 Aug, anyone with the Beta should be formatting and installing this instead. Grab it while you can

I am running RC 7100 and I have no problem syncing.
Only issue I have now is, when the phone is connected, it won't let me delete or replace any .xml files through file explorer. This was never an issue with XP and Active Sync.

i just found what the problem is. Open settings on phone, then connection tab, open usb to pc... and there uncheck (enable advanced network function)
With it checked it didnt work on mine win7

I had that problem when I first bought my TyTN II but it was because I was attempting to connect it to my ancient USB 1.1 ports on my Pentium III. As soon as I installed a modern (but cheap) NEC chipset USB 2.0 PCI adapter card, I found I could connect fine either with or without advanced network functionality enabled. This is a USB port hardware compatibility issue rather than a Win 7 issue and I suspect even if users have Win XP on the machine that behaves this way, they'd still get the exact same response.

your speaking about USB 1 when others is speaking about Win7. If you dont know win 7 is the newest MS OS. So, i belive, all who use win7 have USB2. So there is question why you mention usb1?
And i didnt sad whole story. I had used phone with win xp for long time with that check on, and with one cabler... now on win7 i tried 2 diferent cables with that check on. Didnt work. Took it off and it started to work. So its Win7 issue.

Thanks for the explanation but my Pentium III is capable of running (or should that be walking) Win 7 RC and it has USB 1.1 ports (as well as a USB 2.0 card now). Given Win 7 RC was avail free of charge - don't know if it still is, I got mine in June, there'll be people who get it just to see what it looks like, even though the hardware isn't up to ideal spec.
I don't know what ports were being used in your case because as you mentioned, full details weren't supplied and we didn't have the whole story - we still don't know. Glad you've resolved the issue in your case but in a modern PC which can comfortably run Windows 7, I wouldn't typically expect this to be an issue. If the hardware is struggling to keep up or has USB ports of dubious quality/performance, then thats a different matter.

Sounds like win7 (my main OS now days) communicates with the USB ports in a different manner than XP or the other OS's. Good to know.

DIE XPERIA! DIE VISTA! arrrrrrhhhhh!

Hey guys I realy could do with some help here
When I connect my bran new x1 to my laptop (vista 32)
I get this message....
"One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows dose not recognize it for assistance in solving this problem click this message."
And then i get...
"This device has malfunctioned try reconnecting the device or replace it"
I sometimes had this problem on my last x1 but it worked after few reconnection's (my other usb devices allways work fine and so did my first 2 x1s). After trying over 40 times with different ports and different usb
Cables I assumed that it must be a problem with my laptop.
so I did a full destructive restore totally wiped everything off my laptop. Turned it back on and got a different message when I connected the phone.
"Windows mobile adapter has failed"
I typed this into google looking for a solution and found a few random forums that showed other people had had the same problem in Aug 14, 2008, March 17, 2008. a problem thats over a year old will have been fixed I thought. So ill have to wait for windows update to finnish.
After 16 hours of vista updating and resetting updating and resetting i plugged the x1 in and got this message
"usb devise not recognized. One of the devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows dose not recognize it for assistance in solving this problem click this message."
And then i get...
"This device has malfunctioned try reconnecting the device or replace it"
iv updated all my drivers. iv tried Microsoft's fix it tool that scans your computer for errors and it came back with....
"No problems have been detected on your system."
Iv been on the tech guys website.
Iv tried different usb cables,
Istalling windows mobile device center makes no difference,
Iv even tried it on a different computer (running xp)
and still no joy! xp fails to find settings and asks for the cd that came with the device (I didnt get one with this phone (x1)so I used the one from the old phone(x1i) this didnt work and it also gave the option of searching for settings on the internet, this didnt work ither!
Surely theres something iv missed I cant have had 4 Sony Ericsson x1s and they've all been ****ed? each have had different problems. iv tried phoning Sony Ericsson support all they say is send it off for repair but how many times do I have to send these things off? its beyond a joke! I just want one that works!
Any help with my usb problem would be highly appreciated.
Is anybody els having the same problems?
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

It could be a problem with the software on my phone coz my insurence companie sent me this letter.....

Generic roms don't need to be HardSPL'd to flash via Micro SD method.
Download one of the generic roms and extract the nbh file (if it's an .exe use winrar to extract the file), rename kovsimg.nbh, whack it on the micro sd card and put the phone into boot loader mode (hold vol down and power when turning on).
Once you have flashed the generic rom, check to see if the usb connection works properly on this version before making any changes.
You should try and get your phone back to stock before sending it away for warranty repair.

You are using Vista, what did you expect lol?

i gave up trying to sync with vista on my laptop. i use xp and active sync.

wish you good luck bro
quite shocked when saw a screen break xperia, lol

I had a Motorola MPx220 which had this problem (I was using XP at the time), the socket on the phone motherboard had gone bad.
If XP is asking for drivers, you need to install ActiveSync first. If you've had 4 X1s and they haven't worked on your Vista computer it is probably your computer. Go back to the XP computer, install ActiveSync (download it off microsoft.com) and try again!
Vista does work with the X1. I think I'm not the only person who can testify to this. It is possible that your computer is not supplying enough power through the USB port- in this case you need to disable charging over a computer USB port on your phone.

have you tried other usb ports? i've had no problems. even on vista 64 or win7 64. i did had problems once, my pc didn't recognize my xperia, but it was to a faulty usb cable, maybe that's your problem too.

Check the settings on your phone. Settings, USB to PC, uncheck that checkbox under ActiveSync. Oh, and switch to Windows 7, bro.

Every now and then (say once every 3 months) I get over-zealous with adding USB ports to my laptop. It comes with two ports standard but I have another two through the use of a PCMCIA extension slot. Say I have a 2.5 HDD, 3.5 HDD, printer and wireless router connected at the same time, most of the ports go bonko.
Thats the source of the "One of the USB Devices has Malfunctioned" warnings. I think its just collectively, there is not enough power to run them efficiently at the same time. Changing USB ports or disconnecting some of the devices tend to work for me.

many great suggestions here! some things I havnt tryed yet and im glad to hear I can still flash roms. thanks guys ill let you know how i get on

Pretty sure it's a problem with WMDC caused by a windows update.
You have to delete the device, uninstall WMDC (fully) and reinstall. I'll see if I can find the instructions again.
EDIT:
Uninstall WMDC and WMDC driver update and reinstall the latest WMDC.
OR
Try:
1. Keep your device connected
2. Press START+r and enter "devmgmt.msc" (without the quotation marks).
3. Look under the "Network adapters" node for "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter". If this is not present, skip to step 4. Otherwise, right-click "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" and choose to "Uninstall"
4. Look under the "Mobile Devices" node for "Microsoft USB Sync". If this is not present, skip to step 5. Otherwise, right-click "Microsoft USB Sync" and choose to "Uninstall"
5. Disconnect and reconnect your device. Your device driver will re-install and Windows Mobile Device Center will launch.
Then:
6. restart your PC
7. uninstalling (make sure you click the box to remove associated software) both WMDC and WMDC driver update
7. install the latest WMDC 6.1 from link above.
8. restart your PC

ActiveSync Problem [USB can't connect]

Dear all,
sorry if this is repost.
i found it quite trouble for me, as my TYTN II suddenly stop syncing with my notebook.
it shown Microsoft ActiveSync can't recognize any port plug to TYTN ii, even if it can't sync with notebook active sync, but the phone still able to charge via USB port, anyone experience this before?
fortunately my Tytn II still able to sync via Bluetooth connection, but NOT via USB port.
Some recommended action that i've run so far:
1. uninstall & re-install microsoft activesync 4.5
2. change usb port
3. change with different notebook with activesync 4.5
4. hard reset my device
5. flash to another ROM via USB
6. etc
after doing all the thing, but the problem still there, only able to sync via Bluetooth connection.
hope anyone could give me a clue here.
thx & rgds,

What OS are you running on your notebook ?
Activsync for Windows XP and earlier
Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista, Wimdows 7

I am using Windows XP SP3 and using Microsoft Active Sync 4.5.0 build 5096
I also have tried into Windows Vista Home premium,
and couple hours ago I've tried to sync my friend O2 and it was successfull syncing with his device, and then I re-tried to sync with mine, but no hope
any clue really appreciate that

Try going to the "USB to PC" settings on your phone (probably under Settings>Connections) and unchecking "Enable faster data synchronization."

hmm, I've tried that before and still no luck,
do you think any possible hardware failure

It's possible that you have a hardware failure. However, that seems unlikely if you can flash using USB and it can connect to those other systems. Two other trivial things to try:
1) Try a different cable
2) Is "Allow USB Connections" checked in File>Connections Settings in ActiveSync? (I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, just covering the bases)

it's okay... i am looking for clue not for arguing
anyway, i've done that
1) already try 3 different cable, the last one i tried is with two devices my tytn ii and my friend O2
2) already done that too, been trying uncheck/check "Allow USB connection" in Microsoft Activesync in my Ms XP SP3 notebook.
btw flashing via SD card is applicable because it's not related with USB port right
regards,

I'm having a very similar problem. I have 2 Kaisers, one factory AT&T ROM WinMobile 6.1 and the other running a cracked 6.5 ROM.
Two computers, one Laptop running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and a desktop running XP w/SP3 32 bit.
About a month ago all phones stopped syncing to all computers. I just get a "Unrecognized USB device" error on both computers using either phone.
Does Anyone know if MS released a USB driver update that may be causing this? I have tried every possible phone setting listed on the web, uninstalled activesync on XP and nothing seems to work. It really feels like a Windows USB issue to me. Just my gut feeling.
Doug

I have one more stab in the dark. Plug in your phone, open the device manager on your computer. There should be a device category called "Windows CE USB Devices." Expand that category, right click on the device in that category and uninstall it. Unplug your phone and plug it in again. This should reinstall the device driver. I'm guessing that the original drive got corrupted somehow.

I had a similar problem as the original poster, and it turned out to indeed be a hardware problem. The SD-card reader was faulty, and ActiveSync would not recognize the phone while an SD-card was plugged in (Nor would WM5Torage work). Removing and reinstalling drivers did not work either. The SD-card was fine, when tested in a PC reader and my Touch HD, so I figured it had to be the kaiser.
I fixed this *today* by replacing the PCB in the display part of the kaiser. Part costs about $40 (Search for item ID 380187854526 on eBay to see which part)
The disassembly/assembly instructions required are in the service manual, available at a dozen places online.
Hope this helps! (Couldn't post links )

windows 7 and diamond touch

hey people,
I know I am writing about a known topic since I have been looking on the internet for hours, however I'm absolutely not finding the answer, it is so frustrating. Hope someone can help.
I connect my diamond touch (WM 6.1 pro, thanx to xda dev) to my freshly installed windows 7 utlimate on my iMac 27". It simply doesn't connect. I managed to install windows mobile device center, but it does not recognize my phone. I can connect mounting the phone as disk, but I want to sync. When I use active sync the computer sees it either as a generic RNDIS device (fast transfer checked on in pc-usb connection) or as unknown device (fast transfer checked off). For both it cannot find a proper driver when windows start looking for it! I have tried everything so far. Reinstalling WMDC, restarts, reboots, change usb ports. I don't know what to do anymore, please help me.
Best regards,
Barbet

Win7 mobile center, need install a driver.
drvupdate-x86.exe
you can search this file. I don't know why I can not put in the link.

Hmmm
Did that driver thing work? I didn't have any problems connecting from a PC. Are you using a VM or have you installed windows 7 on your mac? Try using a virtual machine.

Windows 7 by default do not recognise a lot of phone, you need mobile center to make it work, on microsoft.com -slash- windowsmobile -slash- en-us -slash- downloads -slash- microsoft -slash- device-center-download.mspx

thanx so much for your replies, however my problem is still not solved. I really don't want to use any viritual windows versions on my mac, it was a cramp to install it via bootcamp. I made sure all drivers were correct and all my hardware is working. Still problem is not solved. I have installed media pack, i have installed and reinstalled WMDC multiple times, i have installed any updates possible, i have tried different settings on my cell. Either i get: generic RNDIS driver not availible or i get generic serial driver not availible (serial doesn't even make sense, it is a usb connection). Anyways, i really really really want a solution.
btw, drvupdate-x86.exe is for 32 bit, i have 64 bit, i used drvupdate-amd64. It is properly installed.
Ow and i tried to deinstall WMDC update to reinstall it, but it was not possible to deinstall it!!! It deinstalls to 99% and then the process bar runs BACKWARDS. I didn't even know it was possible running these bars backwards. It certainly confirms why I prefer mac.

This will sound really dumb - but make sure you try it with the USB cable the phone came with. I was having problems for days until I tried a different USB cable... and there you go.

i will try again, but i remember trying similar things, also switching usb port, i tried didn't work
edit:
i did as you said and doesn't work
it does appear properly as disk if, but the moment you select 'active sync' it doesn't appear anymore,
i hear the sound that confirms the connection, and in the devicemanager i can see the device but with a warning that the driver is not installed

i have to edit first post, i am running wm 6.5, sorry, maybe this gives an anwer?

i think a solution can be in the WMDC driver update
i think i should uninstall it and reinstall it with my htc pluged in
however i can't uninstall it as i said before
i read that 'undocumented service' is necessary, however can find what it is
uninstalling via 'remove programs' doesn't work, neither normal or in safemode
someone help me further?

[Q] Problem syncronizing with Windows 7 (x64)

Hello guys,
I own a htc diamond 2, but recently had to format my computer and installed windows 7 (x64). After this installation and Microsoft office 2007, i installed Windows Mobile Device Center, but when i connect the phone to the computer it installs the update, but does not detect the device thereby precluding their synchronization. I've uninstalled and reinstalled office and windows mobile device center, but the computer still does not detect the equipment. I already consulted the manual, but nothing can cause the equipment to be detected.
Can any one tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Before this installation the computer was running Windows 7 (x86/32) with the same office and all was well
Thank you

This is strange. I own a 64Bit Win7 Pro which doesn't make any trouble.
1st thing I would try is to connect the phone again while being logged on as an administrator, maybe you are a normal user and not allowed to install drivers or something similar.
2nd thing i would try is to delete all active sync connections on PC and on your device. then restart everything and connect them new.
3rd thing to try out is to deactivate under the "USB to PC" option the "fast data synchronization" feature.
4th possibility is to set up both, your computer and your mobile device totally new.
Cheers
Zap

Thank you for your reply.
I've run the installation has administrator, and i've the problems i present.
I will follow itch one of your advices trying to solve this problem.
At last if any one don't work i will try the EubeniaUSB or the drivers of the Active Sinc x64 that i've found on two post at the xda forum. (This will work? )
Thank you.

I had the same problem to start with i would suggest doing what i did and find/replace the usb cable as that was what was at fault on mine - these cables are quite cheap and the pins move too easily inside . Try changing to a different or new cable and see what happens
