Problem with ActiveSync since patching EXT_ROM to Bigstorage - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

Hi, since I've updated my ROM to get a BigStorage EXT_ROM, I can't sync anymore. ActiveSync starts and connects, says "looking for changes" and disconnects immediately. Hardresetting my MDAc didn't change anything, clearing old partnership and establishing a new one didn't work also. I can only connect as a "guest". Tried it also with an older image of my Windows XP Home System, but failed. I received an crc error message after updating my ROM with the patched one, but the the MDAc seems to work (except ActiveSync) and the BigStorage is available. Any ideas?

Hello, anybody out there?

Have a same problem too with ActiveSync4....
Hiding and locking ExRom have no result
ActiveSync v4 return error:
"Critical communications services have failled to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again."
With a ActiveSync v3.8 all works ok!

There's something wrong in the OS image. When I connect my Wizard via USB,I have no problems. But Himalaya want not connect. Why? I don't have SP2 in XP(Wizard is working correctly)!
ACTIVSYNC
If you are connected to a usb hub, try not using it and connect direct to computer. that sloved all of my sync issues of the phone not being seen.

Now that I have WM2005 1.70.96WWE

Hi Folks,
first thanks for the new rom. Here my experiences/questions.
First of all, the installation went quite smooth.
I am experiencing the following problems:
1) when starting the device I get the message the file screenrotate.exe cannot be opended. Ehter it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. Same for sms_alert_fix.exe
2) phone link at the left bottom of the screen results in Shortcut Target Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename
3) active sync with sbs2003 exchange and own certification authority results in The security certificate on the server is invalid. Contact you exchange server administrator or isp to install a valid vertificate on the server Support code: 0x0072F0D. I have downloaded the CA certificate as a file certnew.cer, copied it over to WM2005 and installed it. It is availiable under settings - certificates - root
4) Start - programs is has corrupted programs IA Album, IA Camera, xBackup
Any ideas how to work on these problems?
Tnx
What is the exactly name of the rom file you have downloaded to flash your device ?
XDA2_WM2k5_1.70a.96.WWE.zip ??? if this , it is a corrupted rom ...
try to flash http://tofclock33.free.fr/rom/Wm2k5_170.zip
Downloaded your link and still the same.....
OK, my mistake.
Did not read the installation instruction up to the end.
after modifying the boot options it appears that point 1,2 and 4 are solved.
But there is still the active sync problem.
OK, my mistake.

But there is still the active sync problem.
Changed HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 from 128 to 144
My Domain runs its own CA. So I went to
http://<certserver>/certsrv and downloaded "Download CA certificate", copied it over to XDA and doubleclicked on it.
I can see it now in the certificates
If I manually go to OWA using internet explorer I receive the message "The certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust"
How can I trust it?
XDA2_WM2k5_1.70a.96.WWE.zip ??? if this , it is a corrupted rom ...
I have used the above file from day 1 and it was not corrupt!!!
OK, sorted out my last issue as well.
Besides installing the CA-Certificate I needed to install the Server Certificate as well.
This could be done by opening MMC, adding the Certificates snapin for local machine and exporting under personal certificates the servers certificate.
Copy the export to MMC and doubleclick on it. That's it.
i installed the wm2k5_170.zip
but have problems..
when trying to install any program..
most of the programs needs to be installed to local, but it seems i have 6 mb memory after installing the rom..
i have 32 mb storage memory and 1gb sdram.. but for example pocket plus wants to install itself to device memory.. and when trys to install it says that i dont have enough space..
A slightly strange ugrade problem
TofClock - thanks for the 1.65 and 1.70 upgrades. I've had a weird problem that's stopped me performing the upgrade. I thought I'd ask if it's something specific to your upgrades or some other problem:
I've got Buzz's 1.60c.00 with his 96Mb RAM disk on my Humalaya and it works like a charm. However, when I tried the 1.65 and 1.70 upgrades HimaUpgradeUt.exe failed both times with Error 101 - connection error. But my Himalaya IS securely in its cradle and seems to be communicating properly with the PC: ActiveSync, for example, seems to work perfectly.
The cradle is connected directly to a USB port on my PC and not through a hub, so I'm at a loss what's causing the problem.
Has anyone else had the same experience?
I have got
rom version: 2.06.00WWE
Rom date: 06/14/04
radio version: 1.18.00
protocol version: 1337.38
extended ROM version: xda2jopjo.v3.2zs
When upgraded to xda2jopjo.v3.2zs I had no problems. When I loaded xda2jopjo.v3.2zs it did tell me the all the information under "your Pocket PC software is about update from:", and then it loaded properly. However, with every version of 2005 it gives me none of the information on what I am updating from, and the only information he gives me I'm updating to is "ce image version: 1.70a.96.
And when I click on the upgrade button anyway it does try to upgrade, there is even some activity on the xda, but every time after about 10 minutes it tells me "the current software is now being erased from your PC", it tries a little longer and then tells me "there has been a problem while updating your pocket PC software. To continue the update please:
1 disconnect your Pocket PC and the USB cradle.
2 preform a normal reset by pressing the reset button as picture left show.
3 reconnect your Pocket PC and the USB cradle and run this pocket PC software update program again.
I've tried this several times, but it hasn't worked.
Can anybody help?

USB Problems

My 8125 no longer connects via USB. XP tries to install "Smartphone USB Sync" where I get a message that the software has not passed Windows Logo testing, I click to continue anyway. Next is an error message that the hardware could not be installed because the system cannot find the file specified.
Can someone help?
Not sure the reason, but sounds like ActiveSync installation is corrupted. You could install AC. That should restore all the files / registry entries...
This is happening even after reinstalling ActiveSync 4.5 several times.
Please I hope someone knows a solution for this..?
Cingular 8125
Faria WM6
Win XP
ActiveSync 4.5
hmmm....tried a hard reset? or another usb cable?

Have you tried using a different PC. The idea here is you need to determine if its the PC, the cable, or your phone... So try to narrow this down to where the problem lies.
Also make sure you are using a USB port that is direct to the mother board and not going through a hub. Some USB ports on the front of a PC go through a USB hub that is internal. Use the ports on the back of the computer (and try this on different ports).
I did try a hard reset, and different USB port. I still get the same error. I think its a problem with the USB driver? I have had ActiveSync working on this machine before. I uninstalled it. Then reinstalled it to perform an upgrade, but am having this problem. I don't have access to another PC.
While XP tries to install the USB drivers I did try manually choosing where to find the drivers, in the ActiveSync directory. I get the same error.
Uninstall Activesync through add/remove programs, then go to C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync, delete the whole folder on your desktop pc....download 4.5 from microsoft's website....install it, then plug your device back in.....see if that helps......

Also, see what antivirus/firewall you're using. That caused me a little problem first time I installed it.
Thats why I run all my antivirus and firewall stuff off the router, ActiveStink is too buggy with other softwares.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I had already tried deleting the c:\program files\microsoft activesync" folder before installing 4.5 fresh again. It didn't help.
Just to test, I installed ActiveSync 4.2, knowing I cannot use it with WM6. But it installed fine and XP recognized and installed the 8125 perfectly. I was able to access the phone via WM5torage and everything (except no sync, as expected).
Then I uninstalled 4.2 and reinstalled 4.5 clean again. 4.5 installation "updates" the USB drivers everytime. After, the 8125 will not connect via USB with the same error message everytime.
Did you try google'ing the error message?

Start all over.....
Uninstall what you have > delete the old folder > run Regseeker (you can google it and clean your registry safely..I've used this program for several years now without issue. If you have a HP printer..don't run!) > Re-install 4.2 and don't sync your device yet > Install 4.5 over 4.2 & you should be fine.
If Activesync 4.5 doesn't attach itself to a Com Port..open up Connection Settings in Activesync and uncheck "use the following ports" and try to sync.
I'm currently having similar issues on 2 pc's after I installed Radmin 3.0.
If you still have this issue, search for 4.5 beta & install it.
Conspiracy Theory: The final version of Activesync 4.5 is checking our versions of WM6 and don't like it. It's disconnecting the Com Ports from Activesync so we can't use it any more.

it is the usb drivers causeing the problems, i had to go around and just select the c/windows/drivers folder -just the normal drivers, not active sync-
somehow it goes thru for me with a different driver that isn't what is needed

Help updating hyndai SP300 (A200)

Hi!
I have a problem with hyundai SP300 PPC. I can't update.. I want update WM5 to WM6.
I try everytihg but still not work. When i used the .bat file and activesync stop connection and hyndai ppc congeal. What i do?

Upgrade failed - no error message!

Hi there!
I just tried to install Cotullas WM6.1 ROM on my Magician (MDA Compact, Radio 1.12), as it didn't work on Vista I used XP. Entering bootloader mode was no problem, but on the second page of Update.exe I get an overview:
Your device software is about to update from:
[Nothing in here]
To:
[Nothing either]
However the upgrade completed on the PC without an error message, but I got no "100% Upgrade OS Image Complete" message on my device an after a reset there's still WM2003se on it.
What's the problem and how can I fix it?
seems you have no USB connection between device and PC.
you should check it. check if you see on device screen "USB\n\n\n\n\n1.0X"
Yes, the device in Bootloader mode shows "Serial v1.0.2" an when I connect it via the cable Serial changes to USB. My guess would be that Update.exe checks the wrong port. But even if the phone is not connected at all the update finishes without error.
Is Active Sync needed for an upgrade?
Where did you extracted the ROM?
Can you try to extract on the desktop and don't put in any folder and then flash the ROM.
it's on my desktop in the folder "HTCMAG_ROM_WWE_O3", copying files directly on the desktop didn't change a thing
UPDATE: Installing Active Sync solved the problem
yes you need install Active Sync for drivers.
is there previous your ROM 2.03TX?
is that TRUE meaning you couldn't upgrade to anything else! 2.03TX is bad rom!!!
It was no problem with the upgrading-process itself, it was simply that the program didn't find the phone but showed no error message. Might have something to do with a newer driver ActiveSync installed or just some registry values the update-tool needed.
