Hi all im havin real difficulties using activesync on my 8125. Im nowhere near as savvy as most on here, but im pretty close...lol my problem is that after 2 days of trying to get activesync to work i can only get the phone to connect but not syncronize. the phone says attn: required...its telling me to setup my microsoft exchange server, but i dont use that. im just the regular user trying to move files and programs from my pc to my phone! if i can sync with email too that would be good. Also when i dl'ld activesync from th cd that came with the 8125 it also installed outlook 2002, do i have to use that to be compatible with the phone cuz i like outlook express much better? thanks for any help ..
Ooops forgot to mention that when i try to click on somthin in activesync when the phone is connected it crashes my pc!!! ive tried to look in past posts but when i search 5000 posts come up and none pertaining to this problem..
I have just bought HTC tytn II but dont know how to sync it with my mac. can anyone provide any answers
You'll have to use The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile to sync all your calendars, tasks and contacts from your mac to your phone.

I used it with my 8525, and it worked without a problem. I've never tried it with my Tilt, but it should be the same.

yeah Missing Sync works great with Mac...you can sync more items than ActiveSync offers for Windows. Such as text messages...
Wow! I was expecting to browse this thread and see a ton of replies flaming Mac. Good to see the professionalism showing.

Well i am a MS fan, always been a user since the first time i used a computer, but am now employed by Apple (no, i refuse to use that iPhone, its truly not as good as people say it is), and to admit, there are many things Apple is better at than MS, but Mobile, Windows Mobile remains on top only because its so open.

you can try eltima syncmate. right now its still in beta. feature wise and simplicity I like it better than missing sync but that's just me.
When I had Tiger, the one thing missing sync had above syncmate was its ability to open my device as a disk in mac os x. But with leopard, this has been disabled (missing sync 4.02) You can read through the missing sync change log about this. If you still use tiger, try and get the last missing sync v3. If you have leopard, i'd advise using syncmate since it's free though there are still some bugs (i mainly use contacts sync and no issues there)

There is no need to flame Macs. They are now capable of running their own OS as well as a working one (how's that for professionalism )
Ok, I'm just a sarcastic jerk. I actually have a Vista computer, an iMac G5, my Tilt and I have an iPhone again (which is going on Craigslist...again!). I don't know how to synchronize with the Mac so I just use the PC. I couldn't care any less which of the computers I use. They both work.
wow! i'm glad tytn II can be synced with Mac! coz my Vista just crashed on me a few hours ago without any good reason but thank God it miraculously got revived!
so i'm really skeptical of Windows and plan on jumping over to Mac if ever any nonsense from Windows/Vista comes up again..

I have owned a qtek 9000, an HTC MeTeor, an HTC TyTN ll, and All have been WinMobile 5, smartphones, or WinMobile 6 Professional devices, and I can honestly say, that The Missing sync (on My MacBOOk Pro, OS X 10.5.6), I have had SIGNIFIGANT SYNCING ISSUES, AND SIGNIFANT BLUETOOTH ISSUES, THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE even been in the equation as I was cradled with a USB. I have tried it 6 ways from Sunday on at least 4 or 5 different devices and not fared much better. I am wondering if I brave enough to try to flas my ROM on my TyTN ll to the current version, but do it running Windows XP on my MAC through VMWarefusion (I think it would be easier than trying to do it with Parralells or Boot Camp) but honestly, I haven;t heard from anyone that has ever updated a ROM on Winmobile 5 or 6 device from a MAC. If you have, I would forever be in your debt to know how they did it and how it worked? Cheers, Shogunzero

It is not possible to flash from the Mac side, Leopard will not run the .exe's.
I have an Intel Imac running Windows XP through Bootcamp. I sync through Active Sync 4,5 to my Windows desktop with never a problem. I have also flashed many roms, radios, and upgrades also, and have never had a problem at all.
Since I run my business off of my Mac. I also need to sync my phone to my Mac side. What problems have you encountered ? Missing sync has been way better than AS for me. Never a problem.
Parallels is crap. Crappy software, crappy company. Bootcamp is way better and free. I can't believe I actually paid for Parallels.

Im sure its possible, as you CAN flash using tty on other devices under Linux. Dont forget, macs come standard with ssh/tty ( as they are Unix ).
Ive not done it on a kaiser yet ( Hardspl allows you to flash via MicroSD which is not only faster but a MUCH MUCH more stable way to do it ) But i remember messing with the roms on my hermes ( goofing with mobile linux ).
Im on a C2D Macbook Pro. I sync using MissingSync. I do ALL flashing by copying the nbh to the MicroSD. This is your safest, fastest, most efficient way of flashing ( Much faster than runing an exe on a windows system ). If you need help on how, shoot me a PM =)
Just a sidenote.....
POF made the HERMflasher and im SURE he has to have something available for the kaiser by now You might try to shoot him a PM to see if he has a source you could compile and port to the kaiser. If it can be done under linux, then more than likely you can do it under BSD Unix
When I asked this question last spring, the general concensus was possible, probably, but the tools weren't there yet. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393869
I have never flashed from an SD card before. Just takes ten minutes on the PC in Win XP, never had a hitch, resistant to new ways I guess

Rohit8282 has a mac............. not xp. Simply telling him some useful information. Also, flashing via SD takes at most 5 minutes. There is NO RISK at all involving a data connection disruption OR power failures.
Just more helpful info
The OP was from a year ago, shogunzero searched and picked up this thread. ( yea, a noob who actually searched, good job) He has the same set up as me, running an Intel Mac with a partioned disk , running OSX Leopard on one side and Windows XP on the other side.
Suffice it to say , you cannot run the Kaiser RUU and flash Spl from OSX. Once you have SPL flashed on your phone , you can download custom roms onto OSX and transfer he files to your SD card and flash from your card.
Since I personally spend equal amounts of time on OSX and XP, I just do all my flashing and phone play from XP. Microsoft plays nice with Microsoft (why upset Bill and Steve)
If you are just updating your stock TyNT II rom then you can do it safely from your SDcard, If you want to flash a custom rom you need to initially use XP to flash HardSpl.
It is just as safe.
And if like pyraxiate, your really sweating that extra 5 mins, I just have an extra cup of coffee

LOL im with you on the coffee part, but the main reason I flash Via SD is because I flash about once or twice a week, and I keep a folder of roms as well as a folder of radios on the sdcard itself. If im out, I can swap things around at any time ( and because im an on-the-go technician this is a good thing). I can download the roms and install without ever using a computer. Very useful if one doesnt have windows at all
But, im having my cup of coffee now and flashing as we speak ( trying out a PDACorner Rom )
Being a noob at card flashing, you have a card that is just dedicated to roms ? You don't load roms on to your everyday card with music, ringtones and backups, and flash from that do you?

I do have multiple cards , but my last 10 flashes have been from my everyday card. I keep a folder inside called flash and inside flash are 3 subfolders ( Roms, Radios, Hard-SPL). I copy all of the nbh files to the appropriate directory path, then rename them to something id recognize like HDIII.nbh, L26M2D.nbh, PDAV14.nbh and for radios use the radio number. when I go to flash, simply copy/paste the rom/radio (HDIII.nbh) to the root of the SD card and rename it to KAISIMG.nbh ( do not cut/paste as you wil want the original later). just reset into botloader and viola there you go. flashing made easy hehe. (all but flashing SPL...thats done a tad differently from sd)
If you have any other questions feel free to ask
PS
I use 2x 8gb card and no issues yet (maybe 1K flashes now haha)

Ciao, Francesco
I bought blueangel and Im a complete n00b i must admit. Ok so i heard that i can upgrade wm and i would like to read complete step by step text about that + i need files files for that. Thanks in adv
btw can someone tell me how to setup wifi, my isp told me that i need to put ip in qtek... ????
and some1 pls tell me whats up whit led lights what does it means
ok, so ive read a little and now i have wm6 but I cant connect it to a active sync... whats up with that?
I have activesync 4.5 and cant connect, i have read all of possible solutions and i didnt solve the problem, is there some other program that could be in the same use???
is there some1 who can answer me???
Hi Sorry someone hasnt answered you
There could be lots of reasons why the device isnt synching - have you restarted the PC and the XDA?
When you put the PDA in the cradle what does the PC say does it detect the PDA at all? - It would help if you can tell us
1) what version of the WM 6 rom you have
2) exactly what device you have and what sort of cradle /cable you are using to synch
PS there are good people on here and given time you will get the help you need
Kind regards

i found a problem in firewall!!! its working now, but do u know some good links for games programs and rest??
I found tons of them just by doing a google search.
I just changed to a 1.56 rom everything was great. My device was perfect days. Then yesterday plugged in my device to sync my events and nothing. So of course I did the power off the computer, reset device, checked usb cable, reinstalled active sync 4.5 and still nothing. So then I tried it on my laptop and still nothing. Device will charge but no active sync. Already tried unchecking the box under usb connections for faster file transfer and still nothing. WTF. I cant even change roms because I cant establish connection with active sync. Anyone any ideas? I am using onkogs 5.1 lite 1.56 rom.
Try hard reset... and of course you can change the rom but only by flashing it from SD card. If you have original SPL then try to flash original .nbh files, if you have hardSPL you can flash anything you want. If hard reset, multiple softresets, and flashing back to original rom don't help then you might need to return your device for service. Unfortunately this happened to me and there was no way to establish any kind of usb connection.
Well I tried everything. It's official my T8285 is going in for repair. I know that they are going to give me crap since I am here in the US and have an Aussie touch HD. Wish me luck.

if the device will charge but not activesync then i don't believe its your device... did you make sure that the device IS NOT connecting in "disk-mode"? did you uninstall activesync and reinstall? did you try deleting the activesync drivers from device manager? did you try deleting your partnership in ActiveSync on your PC's and your phone and then recreate the partnership? did you try another ROM... did you try connecting to activesync via bluetooth? there's no way i'd be sending my device in for repair because activesync doesn't work...this has got to be a software/ROM issue...

Hey Coretz thanks for your ideas. I have tried everything you have said. It's weird because it charges fine. I have tried numerous usb cables and different computers. I have never had this sort of problem, it just stopped yesterday and that was it. I usually sync my device a couple of times a day since I dont have an exchange server at work. I am going to keep playing with it but am really stressed out about this. My calendar and contacts is my life.
Have you checked settings in Activesync? Go to connection settings and make sure 'Allow USB connections' is checked.
Also have you tried using pc's with different platforms i.e. XP or Vista. If your using Vista you may need to update drivers. Check cRaCKwHoRe's guide in my signature for instruction to update drivers.

you need to get PIMBackup (backs up contacts, calendar, mail) and you should consider using dashwire.com to save your contacts and text messages online. could be the perfect time to download Windows 7 RC and install to your PC...????
I've faced similar problem after upgrading my Rom to Davideuck 6.0, and it did happened before sometimes. My solution is sync with bluetooth to ur computer. I guess it is a vista problem since I can sync with another XP notebook.
Anton
You know whats weird is that it's not even with vista but xp. I was able to sync via bluetooth on my laptop now I just need to see if I can do it on my work pc. I noticed that now I can not see the windows folder. I use to be able to see the windows folder. I wonder if I can use like total commander or a more powerful explorer via bluetooth.

Have you tried going into Bootloader menu and seeing if USB is there at the bottom in the White panel? If it is, try flashing the rom again.

I had very similar problem. Active sync nor the usb mass storage worked. When connected to pc via usb the device just constantly charged no matter if it was set to charge or not to charge in power options. Unfortunately even flashing to orginal newest rom from htc site by using sd card did not help... and tryied many other thing but didn't help So my advice once again is to return it to service and nt to waste anymore time trying to revive this 'top' quality phone
Mate, i had EXACTLY the same problem. I flashed a new ROM a few weeks back and got exactly the same thing, charges through USB but no connection other than that, i have tried everything and nothing fixed it, new leads, different PC, flashed new ROMs from SD card, all to no avail!!
Ive just learnt to deal with it as i cant be arsed to return it for repairs with a non official ROM and a non official SPL on it.............

Yeah it's crazy. I have owned dozens of htc devices and never had this problem. Usually I could find a fix but this time I truly have done "everything" that I know and nothing. I am going to try and deal with htc here in my home town of Houston, TX but I know they are going to give me crap since I have an Aussie T8285 HD. ****ing retarded that a $1,000 phone cant sync, ahhhhhhhh. Sorry I feel a little better now.
Well good luck with it mate, hope they will fix it for you. Scouring through forums i found another person with exactly the same problem (flashed ROM then no USB connection except charging). He returned it to HTC and they said it was a mainboard fault!! Dont see how flashing a ROM can cause a mainboard fault but thats what they said!
Im gonna flash an original ROM to mine (SD card) and hope that HTC UK will repair it with non-official SPL on it!!!
Good Luck dude!!!

Dude that's ironic. I just went to the HTC facility here in Houston during my lunch and spoke to a csr rep. She was cool and started everything to do the repair under warranty. Then she came back with an engineer and he said that it was out of warranty because it had a cooked rom. I told him that I had the problem before I put the cooked rom on the device. He was kind of a **** at first but then I begged him a little and he was cool. He told me to put the original rom back on it if I could then bring it in tomorrow. He said that different roms have different power settings and it probably blew out the motherboard. **** now I have to figure out how to flash via my sd card and not with RUU.

so, if you can get it to bootloader mode can't you can flash the stock ROM and SPL? i've been using & flashing HTC devices for 3+ years and never once had an issue like this... i'll be interested to hear the ROM cooks' opinions on power settings by ROM. as long as its charging, i'd probably forgo servicing, get me an exchange account, sync OTA or via bluetooth. hope it works out for you.
oh yeah: what's the address of that repair center in case i need it one day??!?

My stupid company does not have an exchange server which I think is gay since it's a major research university. Yeah the engineer was a real young guy and he seemed very knowledgeable. He was explaining to me that the cooked roms have spikes in power which can cause the motherboard to get fried. It took me forever to find this place. Technically they are not a repair facility but they have onsite engineers and since they are local I use them.

thanks for the info... regarding exchange server, you don't have to use your company's server. for example, i use 1&1's hosted exchange server ($7/mth) and have my primary email forwarded to their server. my primary is aliased so that when i respond to email, it looks as if the mail is coming from my email account. there's also Seven Beta; if your company uses OWA (outlook over the web) Seven will sync email, contacts and calendar. my point is that there are options besides ActiveSync... keep them in mind for situations like this... good luck!

Really I have office 2007 on my primary machine at work. What I really need is for my machine at work (calendar, contacts, tasks, notes) to be synced on my phone at all times. My outlook is my life.
Tasks
Has anyone managed to get Tasks to sync from an Exchange Server?
I use tasks a lot but it never seems to grab them not matter which rom I use.
Heya
I had in mind to reflash my X1 for original stock, inc hardspl n such. But noticed that it wont sync with my PC. I mean my PC finds the phone, I can access the memcard without any problem add/remove work just that Microsoft Sync just cant connect to it?
(first time this happens for me)
Whats the problem?
Many people have had that issue in the past, me included, and so far there is no solution for Win XP. There is one for Vista, so just do a search and it will pop up or just flash another ROM and it will fix itself.
