Problem with ActiveSync since patching EXT_ROM to Bigstorage

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?

ActiveSync connects only as Guest

Guys,
I have the problem, and I am tired trying to solve it.
Since some time (I do not remember what affected it), my PC ActiveSync connects with my HTC Wizard only in Guest mode.
What was done to solve it:
- Partnership deleted.
- Activesync updated from 4.1.x version to 4.5 version
- Cleaned registry from all ActiveSync records
- Registered some *xml*.dll's (method was found somewhere in the Internet)
Nothing helps!! Still connects in Guest mode!!
Please, help, as I reinstalled to WM6 today, and I need to update my Tasks/Contacts/Etc...

Check out this link you might find answer to your problem :-

Cheers

zabardast_1, thanks for your help! I've seen this article before, but it was not very useful...
Now I've resolved the situation this way:
Deleted the 4.5 AS (Automatically and by hand)
Installed the 3.8 AS (It won't even connect)
Deleted 3.8 and installed 4.1 (4.1 do not want to synchonize as I now have WM6, and it asks for the 4.5 or newer)
Fully deleted 4.1 and Installed 4.5 and now it works!!

I get the same error, though it did used to work! So something I have installed is obviously conflicting with it.

Solution:
I get this error when I had advanced network functonality disabled.
If its disabled USB uses some other connection. But Efficasoft Mobile Express needs RAPI connection. So you need to enable this in settings but I know that it causes sometimes problems with ActiveSync.

let me try this solution.....currently new version is out i.e 1.5.2.
let see if this version works fine !!!

anyway as deedee said... Jeyo's app works perfectly.. on XP and Vista.. on Outlook 2007.

hey!!
can u plz tel me how to apply ur solution.....i am not getting it and what is this RAPI connection failed error??

if you use MyMobiler herewith, there is a problem. Quit MyMobiler on your phone.

Same problem
I had the same problem. What I did was, first wait until activesync finished all its tasks and then start the application on my desktop. After that it should work, you must assure that the program, which is installed on your device is running too. I'm using version 1.5.2 Build4380 and it works fine with my diamond.

Please close this thread its very very old.
Thanks for all the help
