[Q] Sync over USB problem - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm having issue synchronizing my Xperia X1 with my PC using ActiveSync or WMDC.
Powering my battery works but sync doesn't. I tried 2 other USB cables and same problem occur.
I tried different PC but still I have same problem. I event went back to original Stock and this doesn't helps also.
Should I send my device for fix? I have warranty? I can reverse to original Stock and put back original boot loader.
Hopefully they will fix it but if they don't I cannot add custom ROM any more

You can go and get a card reader to have your sd mini read in the pc, I got mine with 5 EUR and it also supports several type of cards. Also keep in mind that read/write speed is faster with a card reader than plugging your device in Disk Drive mode and this can be convenient sometimes
Good luck with the repair. If you revert to stock SPL and to stock rom and if your time of warranty is not up then you should have no problems, although in my country the service center sucks, they try to make you pay as much as possible...

I manage to resolve this issue. I revers back to my stock ROM 6.1 and still I cannot sync. Then I put back radio 1.10.25.18 and it START TO WORK !!!! I can sync now without any problem and it works now with 6.5 ROM and different radio.
This was last step before I want to return it to SonyEricsson service.

how to update the radio 1.10.25.85 on xperia x1 by the micro sd card? since the usb is not working? thanks!

same as you update your ROM, just rename radio file to KOVSIMG.nbh and update it. Hope this will work for you also.

yes I do this procedure [KOVSimg.nbh] but gets caught in tla loading. WHAT do I do now .thanks!

there is no difference in flashing ROM and Radio, can you maybe check that you do all proceudre correctly? maybe you should download Radio from some other place, maybe is broken

i have the same problem...the battery is recharging but it cannot sync...maybe it has something to do with the version of windows...i was using windows vista and windows mobile device center and it synced and all was ok...but now i have windows 7 ultimate x64 and even though i downloaded the mobile device center it does not recognise the phone when i plug it in activesync mode....it still works perfectly in USB drive mode....but i cannot flash a new rom through the usb method now...recently tried it on a friends pc with windows xp and activesync and worked just fine...any thoughts on that??..

ok. I tried everything. [xperia x1] is not reconhesido by [usb].
neither the radio rom can be clicked. [already downloaded several saiter]. it hangs in louding

I've the same problem occured before but I'm not sure if it's as simple as mine.
All I did was disable "Faster Transfer" under Active Sync radio Button in USB 2 PC (Control Panel), hope it's helpful.

Ok, I'd try this, but I have two questions:
1) can any body give the link to the old Radio rom?
2) I already have a 828x rom installed. is that compatible with the old rom?

hm, OT post
1) radio selection, don't forget to install a matching rilphone.dll
2) afaik those two (meaning radio rom and normal rom) are not related like that, radios should work in all versions on all roms
it might be, that you suffer less functionality/signal strength when using an older radio version, but that is regionally different and cannot be generalized
hope you find your ideal combo
Best, DK

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?

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.

New To the recent phone pocket pc's

hi..i have a tmobile mda with the rom 2.26.10.x that i didnt know couldnt be cid unlocked...i found out after i upgraded which sux balls.lolz..i have a few questions...
1.What is the best rom i can upgrade or downgrade without bricking my mda...
2.why is the mda wifi reception bad most of the time resulting on always 1 bar for wifis around me...i even tried the wireless b mod.
3.I know your phone isnt dead if bootloader works but do ihave to use an sd with the rom saved on it in order to reflash my mda again...or can i just use an app that installs it via usb while bootloader is on?? <this one im definitely confused on... Please anyone help asap, thanks so much and much blessing
Here's an answer to part of your problem:
As long as you have a USB connection, you can re-flash your phone (provided it's in either the bootloader or connected to your system via active sync 4.1 (I don't know about the beta 4.5 of active sync - which changed the way your PC connects to your phone as I understand it)). You may have to try several different ROMs to re-flash, but generally, I have found that doing the following almost always guarantee's a re-flash:
1) remove the SIM card
2) after every attempt, disconnect the phone from your USB port and then reconnect it
3) between attempts, remove the battery while you are setting up your system (you can't flash a phone w/ a dead battery, so unless you have a way to charge the battery other than the phone, you need to protect the amount of charge you have like it's your lifeline!)
4) I have had more success re-flashing a phone that is in bootloader mode by using the original ROM .exe file instead of trying to extract the files from it and THEN run the update utility.
5) If your phone came w/ a 2.x ROM, I wouldn't try to downgrade it to a 1.x ROM as this has never worked for me. Try flashing it w/ a 2.x or higher ROM only.
Hope this helps (oh, and rumor has it you should use the USB ports on the back of your PC, not the ones on the side or front!)

Can't connect to my pc!

I just want to connect so i can update to the newest swedish rom released.
And of course everything else
When i connect the usb to phone i get the alternatives "Activesync" or "disc-unit" or something like that.
I choose activesync.....it connects but after a few seconds it disconnects.
It will show up on my pc but just disconnects right after....it has always worked before.....i really don't know what to do.
Then i use the other alternative to connect.....it seems stable but it is extremely slow.....one mp3 at 3mb takes about 40minutes to upload to phone.
I have the "Official Update 1.37.401.3" installed but i want install the newer one.
Please help me.
My usb cords i have tried using is flawless....everything works.
Im running Vista Ultimate Retail.
Please help me through this ordeal....I'm almost at the point that I'm going tp buy another phone and leave htc forever
I really want this phone to work. It worked before actually...It might be when I updated with the Official Update 1.37.401.3 or exactly a few days after that my problems appeared.
REALLY NEED YOUR HELP XDA-PEOPLE!
Have you tried connecting it while it's in bootloader mode? If all you want to do is flash the ROM that's the best option.
One question, why did you "upgrade" to the 1.37 ROM? Isn't that what came on the device?
Open active sync (it allready might e open as u tried to connect) and go to menu (on the right) select connections and see if u have use usb connection enabled.

Yes it is enabled.
Windows XP uses Active sync V.4.5.0
Windows Vista uses Windows Mobility center:
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-vista/features/mobility-center.aspx
First check your advanced energy-settings (control panel, system)
To make sure put everything on 10 minutes, as these settings will reset as soon as your new (and faster 1.93) rom is installed.
Connect your phone and make sure you select the sync option, not the external disc option. Make a backup.
Then use an unsigned hard-spl if you have firmware 1.37 or higher. (signed won't work) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950
When finished install the rom you like.
I Resolved It!
I managed to flash my phone with the new swedish official rom.
So I can connect now.
Thanx for helping me.
The problem seemed to be in Windows Vista...it wouldn't allow my HTC to keep beeing connected for too long
I resolved the problem on my other computer.
And I love the speed of the new rom by the way ...It gets better and better all the time.
Thanx again XDA Developers.

Daimond display flickering and can not Sync with a PC

Hi,
I have a big problem with my HTC/XDA Daimond.
I bought it in ebay so I dont know what the person did all with it, but Im trying my best to get it clear again.
What I can say only is that he flashed a new HTC ROM 2.00.421.1 WWE on it.
The Problems:
The display is flickering all the time if I switch the device on.
For this problem I read, that may the problem is the spl/hardspl and I have to flash the spl.
But now the second problem
I cant get a Sync with my PCs. Maybe its because of the new Rom, I don't know.
My Question:
Can I Flash the SPL over the 4GB Storage in the daimond (over WIFI I can copy the files on it)?
Can I Flash after that the Original Rom from O2 or HTC from the Daimond?
Or Other ideas to solve the problem?
With thanks in advance.
Yanuin
Can no body help me???
Do you get the USB connection pop-up when you connect the usb cable?
If you do then try using disk drive option so you can flash ROM that way.
You can flash from internal storage. See stickies in Rom section.
Flash a different hardSPL and then you're good to go for a different ROM. You can also flash the normal stock rom of your choice.
BTW: In rare occasions a firewall can prevent a correct activesync connection.
hey i have the EXACT same problem. my screen start flickering randomly one day and never stopped ever since & USB connection is totally gone. I've been trying to change the HardSPL version but I don't know how to do it without USB connection. I was successful in changing ROM using the internal storage method. Is there something similar to flash the HardSPL?
Someone help me please
Thanks

Hard SPL via MicroSD card

Hello all,
I'm having big problems syncing my phone to pc...is the above possible via MicroSD card...I know flashing a rom is but can I hard SPL it in the same way
Thanks in advance
I don't believe it is possible unfortunately.
What issues are you having? Have you tried updating (or even downgrading them depending on what you currently have) the usb drivers?
The probleme that most of us flashing new cooked ROMs & my device get stucked several times. Likely it is connected via USB, Otherwise I can not do any thing.
Also due to several ROM flash times the USB connection in HD (or other devices) might broken.
This why we need a way to install USPL or HSPL via SD card.
Can some one help?
Regards
What I don't understand is how can a usb port become 'broken' due to flashing several custom build roms?
I too having a problem with the usb port on my blackstone. It can only be charged but not synchronized with pc anymore. I had HTC pick up my phone to have the mainboard replaced. Luckily the phone was still under warranty, so it won't cost me much.
Can someone explain?
i had similar probs ...
went to regedit , local maschine, software, microsoft,
windows ce services and changed to (1) the key : hasusbdevice
after this no problems anymore
it seems that a program installation changes this number from 1 to 0.
i have win 7 32

This is not possible infortunately. However you do not need your device sync'ed with your pc to run HSPL. You only need to put device into bootloader and then connect it to pc. Bottom of bootloader should change from 'serial' to 'usb'. If not, you will need to update usb drivers. All this info can be found on this thread, no need for another
