BaUpgradeUT Problem Please help """FIXED&quot

I have a problem, after setting BA to boot loader and connecting to Cradle the BaUpgradeUT.exe gives me a problem either it hangs up at getting device data or after a while gives me the Error 101.
I remember having this problem before and after 10 attempts it finally worked but no joy today
I have tried this on 4 PC's all XP all with ActiveSync 4.1 and its the same
Also tried the Cradle and 2 other usb charge/sync cables with the same result
Sometimes BA wont even switch to USB just sits on serial then I restart PC and BA and on connection it will switch to USB but still no update.
So what am I missing here?
Please any input will be appreciated this is driving me nuts!!!!
Jules

Just to add when starting BAupgradeit does close/exit activesync from the task bar and them it seems to just hang there

first of all before you put your device for flashing in cradle you must kill 2 proceses wcescomm.exe and rapimgr.exe, and the you pu your device in cradle try to flash this way, if not works try to use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to upgrade

OK!!!!!
Take out the 2gig SD card and the whole process works PERFECTLY
WTF
Thanks Xplode for your input
Hope this topic helps someone else in the future.

Problems Syncing: Connecting the cable makes the phone sluggish

Greetings,
I´m having a weird problem: my phone won´t sync anymore. It happened once in the past, but it was right before I tried a new ROM (flashing a new ROM made the problem dissipate).
But now it is persistent: when I connect the USB cable, the phone simply becomes sluggish, like a process eating 100% cpu. Disconnecting the USB cable instantaneously makes it responsible again.
Problem is, the PC won´t detect it anymore, so I can´t successfully sync. Does any1 have any idea about what is going on ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
fyi, I already connected the phone with task manager running, just to see if any hidden app would come up eating 100% cpu. No luck - everything seems to be normal in task manager.
fyi2, connecting the charger won´t make it sluggish - only the usb cable connected to the pc.

Remove/reinstall Activesync from PC, maybe....
Hard reset, maybe....

This is normal, I have seen it on WM6, 6.1, also a X51 running WM5 I guess..

Thanks guys. I´ll try reinstalling ActiveSync.
Funny thing is, just tried syncing with Bluetooth and it worked... It just won´t work via USB...

Update: uninstalled windows mobile device center and drivers (Im using Vista 64 btw). Installed it again and... it won´t recognize the phone (in device manager the driver has an exclamation mark).
Does any1 know how to get the driver working ?

Xperia Usb Connection and Charging Problem...

Hai..
iam new bie, i just newly purchased xperia xli. after using 4 month, iam now facing some problem, every time if i need to charge or connection for active sync i need to restart, and this repeats every time. and if i try to open task manager or Device information in settings it will give an error
"cannot open 'ctlpnl'. A critical conponent is either missing or cannot start because program memory is unavailable. Tap start> settings > system tab> task manager, stop programs that did not automatically stop and try again".
and i cannot even make screen off by pressing power button for that also i need to restart.
So please give me some information regarding this so that i can solve this problem.
Thank you

I would hardreset it

Thanks for reply
I had done it already, after hard reset first time i can charge and connect to active sync also, and if i disconnect it and try another time it wont work, again i have to hard reset to charge or to connect it to active sync. so pls give me solution for this,
for more information i will provide my device information
software version: R3AA003
ROM VERSION: 1.05.931.3 WWE

xperia usb connection problem
i see no one is taking this matter seriously
i have googled for the past 4 weeks and it seams many people are having this problem with xperia/wm6 devices - its just that not many of them understand the problem and know how to express themselves (e.g. many belive it's a problem with the pc's usb ports)
i would suggest does interested in IT mysteries and things like that to look into this one. i can explain the problem here:
I've used xperia/windows mobile 6 device for about 6 months, syncing it daily or semi daily (or weekly..) all that time via USB connection and active sync installed on winxp.
one day i plugged the usb cord into my phone and - nothing. the phone has started charging as thou it's connected to a charger and not to a PC - one of the first things i noticed cause i specifically always have the "don't charge the device while connected to a pc" box ticked on.
what is very important to know is that NOTHING of the following didn't fix this problem:
changing cords
changing ports
changing pc's
soft reset via button on the back
hard reset
nudging the cable
usb hub pc connection
direct pc connection
updating windows mobile
toggling ANY option in the OS itself
charging/discharging the device
changing the chargin cable, then connecting
leaving it off without a battery for a long period of time (12+ hours)
---------all other idiotic suggestions that are being written all over the net by dumb asses who think they can shoot a guess and come of as smart guys---------
bear in mind that this happened after absolutely no physical damage to the device or any kind of extreme working conditions, exceeded cpu/memory use etc.
it would be great if someone could solve this mystery. activesync is still working via Bluetooth but it's just stupid to transfer files over the slow bluetooth connection whilst having a USB connection as one of the greatest advantages of this kind of a device
i kindly thank in advance to anyone having some kind of an idea about how it's possible for a USB connection to just stop working, for absolutely no reason.
bye&cheers!
Matija

Anyone has the solution for this problem? Like Matija said, it happened suddenly for no reason... My x1 has been facing this problem for 3 weeks
I cannot update my phone via my PC

I recently having problem with my X1 syncing with my home PC and charging from my Laptop
Now I found out that, those mini USB cable might be good enough to charge the phone, or even trying to sync, but then it gets error more and more often. So try getting some better quality cables (ie. those with "Magnetic Shield" near the end), see if that fix the problem
good luck

Flash another ROM?

Having the same problem here.. I faced it after I formatted it by clicking on (Clear Storage) under System tab.

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.

id like to jump up and down on my x1 then force feed it to vodafone
yes iv had 4 x1s but this is the first that wont connect to my laptop
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

problem with usb connection

Having this problem:
When device is connected to any PC, nothing is detected at either end. Nothing happens (except power to the phone).
Tried switching between activesync and disc drive modes, with or without advanced network functionality, but the problem is prior to that.
I have to say these WM devices are pretty unreliable, I've had USB problems on more than one of them, compared with none on any other usb device.
Grateful for any help.

when you say you change modes, do you mean that you change it in the settings or when you connect the USB a screen pops up?
I am having the same issue. My phone is basically useless, I don't have warranty to send it back to HTC either.

Many people are having issues with connecting with Windows 7. I think there are solutions, but most of those people don't post replies when they solve their problems...

I have been able to connect to Windows XP, then suddenly one day it stopped for no apparent reason. So I don't think the OS is the problem in this case.

how about your guys try to checke the windows firewall setting first?
on the exception list, make sure all related activesync task are selected.
then try again.. hope that help

Tried that - in fact, turned off my firewall entirely - still no luck.
Device connects, and comes up as an "unknown device". Nothing else in Windows 7 sees it - not WMDC, or File Explorer, or anything.
This is really disappointing - how can a Windows Mobile device not work at all with a Windows OS?

i also have my firewall turned off, even worse thing is that the computer doesn't even recognize that a device has been plugged.

Same here, shaks 4.3 ...

I can't believe that Windows has this device listed as compatible with Windows 7. It isn't working, period.

mine stopped connecting to vista one day but would charge. I went an got another usb to mini usb cord at the PX and plugged it in and it now connects with my laptop and my mac. replace your cord before you start hard reseting.

I've tried several cords... but thanks for the advice.

i contacted HTC and asked them how much for repair w/o warranty, this is their response:
We apologize for any issues you are experiencing with your device and would be happy to assist. While warranty coverage would depend on a diagnosis by one of our certified technicians, based on the problems symptoms you have provided, costs for repairs could range from approximately $373.00 to $428.00. Please contact Customer Care at 1-888-617-1113 for service options and to set up an RMA for repair if desired.
this is hilarious, fking HTC ppl make sh*t w/ no technical support and charge ridiculous for repairs. i dont know what they thinking

had the same problem...tried everything to fix. i am with Verizon. Went to my Verizon store. They called in for me which resulted in Verizon sending my a replacement (refurb) which ironically(?) turned out to have a different issue. Back to store...another call...sent me a brand new diamond. everything ok so far. don't deal with htc....go to your carrier.

I've done a hard reset on my diamond, but the usb problem remains. Now I'm thinking it's a mechanical problem. I'll try and clean out the hole somehow and see if that helps.

I'm using windows 7 64 bit and the latest Windows Mobile device Centre with the Windows Firewall on and I have no problems connecting my HTC HD and Diamond.

To all of you who still struggle on UBS connection.
Here's my solution based on reading forums for almost two weeks and trying hundreds of settings. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.
First you have to set regional settings on both PC and device on English.
1. Make suse you select ONLY ActiveSync under Settings/All Settings/Connections/USB to PC/ NO OTHER SELLECTIONS.
2. Tick "When the device is turned on, do not ...." under Settings/System/Power ( later, when establish connection for couple times you can uncheck it)
3. If Using NOD 32 disable Treat Sence and Disable detection of Potentionaly dangerous programs ( if using other antivirus disable similar options - they block connections they think are dangerous)
4. On your PC Uninstall ALL USB controlers and Hubs.
5. On Your device on home screen check and stop all programs running.
6. Turn OFF PC.
7. Connect USB cable to PC USB port and to phone.
8. Turn on PC and wait untill Windows instals all the usb stuff. If everything is OK Windows should recognize and install HTC PPC .... The WMDC or ActiveSync should start automatically. IF not start it manually and disconnect and connect usb cable on ppc. Wait untill it connects and HAVE FUN !!!
First couple of times you should be carefull not to move the phone or cable so you wont lose connection.
Hope this helps others, since I managed to get it work for myself.
Happy New Year to all of You!

will try this tomorrow,
btw, what's NOD32 and WMDC?
thanks for the post

OS -> Windows 7
PPC-> Mobile 6.1
Unchecked the "Enable advanced network functionality" box.
Until that it would connect just under Disk Drive option, Now it runs just fine with active sync too. Thank you
