Problems with Activesync and 1.13 ROM?

I've recently upgraded my MDAc with the T-Mobile 1.13 ROM upgrade from their website.
Everything else seems to be fine except for ActiveSync, it's very tempremental- I managed to sync up data on the first connection but later that same day, I connected the device again and it doesn't seem to do anything except charge. I don't even see the AS tray icon either.
Anyone else had similar problems (and solutions for it)?
Thanks.

Had same type of problem myself, fix was to shut down Activesync on computer completly and deinstall, the reinstall active sync(3.8.0) connect device and give a new device name.

Ok thanks- I will give that a go.... I've got AS installed on 4 PCs :shock:

Still doesn't work- I remember actually trying re-installing AS on another machine with the same result.
Think I may have to go back to the 1.12 ROM.

Try hardresetting device sometimes it takes more than one go to get it stable!!!!!!!!!

I've tried about 5 hard resets now...
But it seems to work for the first couple of times then no more.
Another thing, I tried installing Card Export again and the icon for that also does not show up on the tray.
Anyone know if it is possible to downgrade to 1.12 with a shipped ROM?

If u get an AS connection that is stable then yes

Just to 'close' the topic; I went back to 1.12 ROM and all seems fine again.

Rescued Prophet (aka Happy Unbricking)

I am posting this here since there seems to be way too many threads around here all saying the same thing diffently yet in NO clear way that everyone can understand. I spent 2 days trying to recoved a Prophet from a bad flash.
Symptoms
Prophet stuck in Bootloaded (Tri Color Screen)
Prophet stuck in 2nd Splash (Usually Your providers Splashcreen)
Solution Read as (This is what I did to fix it)
Download a WM5 Prophet\Wizard Official Rom (I still own a Wizard so I used the K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship rom, the devices are very similiar concerning chipsets with the hardware keyboard seeming to be the biggest difference)
Extract the Rom (if it is distributed in an exe format with a tool like Winrar or 7zip)
Download the Prophet Tools Light package and extract to any folder . This contains both G3 and G4 RUU's (I can confirm this worked on a G4 Device)
Place the Official nk.nbf in the \Utils\Flash folder
Drop the phone into bootloader (Tri Color Screen) mode and connect to PC via usb.
Allow a few seconds for the usb connection to settle and run the RUU specific to your device.
DO NOT TOUCH the device or PC at this point. If your pc is a tad slow, go make some coffee and watch an episode of Big Bang Theory
This should now give you a shiny new (or old ) rom that is bootable which will allow you to upgrade your Prophet to any of the pretty WM 6.1 roms available.
Just a little tip:
If you are worried about messing up the device again use Alternate "Lazy tool" by dioxda. Its easy and it works !
I couldnt make this process any clearer if I tried

heeey...sorry but after this my prophet go death... i cant turn it on, and i dont know how but it seems that i cant charge it no more...
is death... can anybody help me how 2 fix this?
P.S.sorry if my eanglish is not very good.

Strange this worked perfectly for me, but when I tried updating to a different rom I got the same problem you are facing now. Just a quick flash on the screen and blue and red LED flash. If I plug it in it just sits there flashing the whole time. I am looking into this as soon as I get a solution I will post it here. Any help guys ?

If at any stage your Prophet fails to start properly or can only enter bootloader follow this:
* Download and install the latest version of ActiveSync (Google for it)
* Download and unzip an AKU2.2 (No Vendor) ROM for the Prophet-any AKU 2.2 will do-from [here | ftp://xda:[email protected]_NVID.exe] or [here | http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...=Prophet_ROMs]
* Within ActiveSync DISABLE connect through USB (Tools->Connection Settings->Uncheck Allow Connect through USB)
* Put the Prophet into bootloader mode (hold the camera button and insert the stylus into the larger hole next to the power socket)
* Plug the Prophet in via USB
* Run the RUU specific to your device (G3 or G4) from the AKU2.2 folder. If there is only one RUU, use that.
* When it has finished: disconnect the Prophet, and then re-enable the connect through USB in actyivesync before reconnecting the device.
==> if success, will going back into WM5 and then u can use the Lazzy Tool, look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=353547
choose WM 6.1 ROM, after u doing that step, u already done with the WM 6.1 SEMOGA SUKSES!

yes it works again ...

Help, please?
Hi guys,
I have a slightly different problem. When I turn on my Prophet, it is in bootloader mode, so I take out the battery, leave for 3 seconds, put the battery back in, turn on the Prohpet.
Bootloader is displayed
Plug into PC with Active Sync 4.5 running (USB disabled)
Windows makes the 'new hardware connected' sound
RUU shows USB in bottom corner
Run the NVID no vender ROM,
Agree to first screen
Agree to second screen
Click Next
Prophet turns off
Windows makes the 'hardware disconnected' sound
Argh
No Prophet, no phone - incommunicado!
When I turn the prophet on now, I just get the bootloader, then it turns itself off after 10 seconds.
Could it be a low battery? - How do I charge it? I have left it plugged in to the power all night!!!
Could it be a faulty phone? - I have been having random resets over the past 3 weeks or so and thought that it was the WM6.1 rom installed, so was trying to put WM5 back on to see if that helps. - I am beginning to think there may be something wrong with the device?
I am trying a few more things from this forum before giving up and buying a new windows smartphone!
Any help would be apreciated!
Regards Mike
Guess it could be a power issue. - I got further just now by using a powered cradle instead of just a usb cable, but still reset at 80% complete. Will leave the phone charging using a wall charger only for an hour and see how i get on with that!

Its Fixed!
Ok,
So it turned out to be a low battery. - I charged the Prophet up for 1 hour and then ran the re-flash and it worked perfectly.
Now I just need to get the Orange rom back on it so its back to normal - Not faffing with WM6.1 - will stick to WM5 as its much quicker and works!
Maybe I was a bit too fast in posting the problem!
Thanks
Mike.

I feel like an idiot :(((

I recently (few days ago) bought my S710 (a.k.a. Vox) and it came with the WM5. So I found this forum nad Dr.Gonzo's thread about WM6.1 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384129), DL-ed the necessery sofware and followed the instructions (which seem to me like a peace of cake )
For some unknown reason I cannot finish the flashing of WM6.1, when I have to run the RUU I start the instalation, and after a minute or so (when the progress meter appears) the software says that the device is not connected. I tried this several times, always with the same problem.
what am I doing wrong? Please help me, so I don't feel like described in the subject of this thread.
P.S. and sorry if I made any gramatical errors, english is not my native language.

you should firstly uspl your htc s710!(first treath) do do this its necesary that you app unlock your vox(as described in uspl treath) then you can update to any rom!(made for your device!)

...let me explain...
Like in the manual, first I rebooted (hardware reset) the device, then run SDA application unlock, soft reset, copied the necessery files to the root directory, run heret.exe through the .bat file.
the penguin appears on the screen for a short time, then the screen goes dim (like described). this is the moment I should start RUU, which I do, but one of 2 things happen:
1) either the RUU doesn't even recognize the device, and reports to check USB cable. The screen remains dimmed,
2) or it recognizes it, shows the USPL-vox on the device and starts update. At the very begining of update (zero or two %), it says that the device is not connected. the vox screen shows some info, and it's three-colored - blue, green, red (if I remember correctly). the RUU software exits, and then I hardware reser the device, to make it functional, but still with WM5.
what am I doing wrong?
EDIT: It's actually WM6, I needed a program to tell me that

Seems like your USB port on the PC is not working properly with the Vox. Try another Port or better an other PC to execute these tasks.
Could also be the cable - this may be easier to change.

I don't think that is possible, it's the same cable I use for connecting through ActiveSync and it works flawslessly. Any other ideas?
it's a standard USB-miniUSB cable I use for my old motorola mpx200 and my camera, don't beleive there can be a problem there?

Just try it - AS transfers a few bytes - a ROM is several MB. This is no proof.
Windows (ROM Update) also talks to the USB port in a different way than AS, so why not eliminating all parts that are outside the device (you have no other choice anyway).
- new/other USB cable
- new/other USB port
- new/other USB controler (e.g. other PC)

Can you not upgrade new rom from htc site?

Computer doesn't recognize the phone

Hi everybody
I have an HTC Fuze (ATT). The ROM I used was NATF v5. series. I tried a couple of days ago to sync it with my computer but it gave me an "USB device not recognized" message. I did a hard reset but it didn't change anything. I changed the "Energy" rom, but I had the same problem. I tried now to sync the phone with another laptop but I have the same message, so something happened with the phone. What I noticed was the fact that actually when I hard reseted, I still had the NATF 5.series screen shot, even if the rom was the energy one. I appreciate each answer as I don't know what I can do more.

Had you try other cables Sir?
NATF splash screen will remain there, because when you flash Energy ROM, it didn't contain splash screen, so it wouldn't be replaced.

I tried a different cable, as well as a different computer. On the new computer there was no previous activesync installed. This led me to belive that there is a problem in the registry somewhere, but I don't know what to change. I also installed the Activesync 4.5 several times. on the ald and new computer, but nothing helps. No firewall active.
Adriciu

<- same problem

Anybody has any ideas?

What about using other phones, if it's okay then the problem was on Your phone, vice versa.
In my opinion, to get phone connected, we must have Activesync (for Win XP) or WMDC (for Vista) installed, good cable (original preferred) and good phone condition (H/W or S/W)
Hope You solve it soon Sir.

I have reinstalled the ATT rom, but is still gives me a "USB device not recognized" message. So I think something is wrong with my phone. Is there any way where I can clean up the whole registry and start from a clean fresh phone?

Still not working.

I had a simmilar problem a long time back.... How I fixed it was I deleted that connection setting for that phone in activesync... Then rebooted...Try to connect it then... If it still doesn;t work, UNINSTALL activesync... reboot... reboot again for good measure.. then reinstall it... reboot... Then try to connect again.... a lot of steps, but it worked for me when I put a diffrent on an old phone I had...

OK, some updates. I tried syncing with another laptop and it is not working. I tried doing the same thing with an Apple comp and it doesn't even see it as an usb device. However I tried syncing wifi with my gmail account and it is giving me the following error message: "The configuration on your Exchange server prevents you from synchronizing. Support code: 0x85010004". So I think there is a setting I don't know how to change.

wm5 ROM for a bricked Cingular 8125 G4 Wizard

Good day.......
I am mailing out of real frustration.
I don't know if this is allowed.
I collected a cingular 8125 from a friend in the UK.
I noticed on starting up that there was Tmobile screen first before the windows mobile screen starts. I had no problem with the fone until i realised that i couldnt connect to my local networks GPRS service (who uses a phone that can't browse)
After scanning thru the site, i decided to flash the phone with Crasing's WM6.5 ROM after doing a HardSPL and i could browse and it was the perfect phone apart from the fact that it was real slow and hangs attimes.
It got worse so i got fed up and decided to revert it back to the original ROM and sort the browsing stuff with a network fix that someone on this site had told me.
I reverted the hardSPL and on installing the Tmobile ROM, it brought out an error message, tried with the Cingular ROM same thing.
So i tired reflashing by using a software called Flash Center and it started and stopped at the 1%.
Restarting my phone just shows me the bootloader screen and i have been battling it constantly for 3 weeks but to no avail
I have read almost all forums here, done almost all they ask to do, but nothing.
The only ROM that worked on it is the WIZARD love ROM but it using exactly 21mins to start up. Thot of downloading Faria/Molski WM5 ROM (cos i sorta prefer going back to WM5) but the links for their downloads are dead.
Please help/direct me to where i can see help cos i really need the phone like 2 weeks ago. I am most definitely depressed now.
Thanks.

Check here for all HTC Wizard WM5 OEM shipped ROMS. The one for Cingular is listed in there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Wizard_Windows_Mobile_5.0_Shipped_ROMs
You say the phone is a Cingular (G4 DOC version). Does it look like this one (click link ... http://www.brighthand.com/assets/4811.jpg ) with the Cingular logo on top left, etc?
Did you require the HardSPL to be able to flash to new ROM, or did you just use the SIM / CID unlocker using the Wizard Service Tool (note the Wizard Service Tool will only work for G3 DOC type device, not the G4 DOC devices)
You said you also removed the HardSPL. If you removed the HardSPL, then you can only flach the OEM ROMS (i.e., if yours is Cingular, then you can only flash the Cingular Stock ROM ... check link above and use Cingular 2.25 (click here ...
... http://www.4shared.com/file/BJUEhCC9/RUU_Wizard_Cingular_8125_WIZCN.html )
First do a battery pull, replace battery, then start device in bootloader mode (i.e., press and hold Camera button on side, then using the stylus press and release Reset button on same side. Do NOT power up the unit by trying to turn on using the Power button on top). Take note of IPL and SPL version that shows up on Bootloader (3 colour) screen. Then plug in USB and try re-flashing with Cingular OEM ROM.
After successful OEM ROM you can then try HardSPL again and re-flash to other ROMS. There are plenty of cooked WM5 and WM6.1 ROMS out there. The WM6.5 is too much (I think) for these devices. A neat clean simple WM5 or WM6.1 with overclocking works very good.
Regarding your settings for ISO, GPRS, WAP etc. you can look for a Netwrok Wizard cab file, and install ( heres the newest I could find ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=121023&d=1223800573). This will install 6 files into the root Windows directory of the phone. Reboot the phone and you will notice the Network Wizard icon show up in the Settings/Connection control panel.
One of the files it installs is called provision.zip. You will want to update this by copying the following to the windows directory overwriting the old one. This contains all the settings for your phone. Once you copy this over, click on the wizard in the Connection Settings control panel, and it should give you options for Country and Cell Phone carrier/provider. Click away and it shoould automatically set up the correct info for WAP, GPRS, ISP, MMS, etc.
Good Luck. Let me know what happens.

WOW
Thanks for the response
I used the HardSPL to flash the new ROM.
I removed the HardSPL and the Olip in my IPL was changed back to the 2.26.0001
I tried the cingular 2.25 ROM but it says it wasn't meant for the device and most times the RUU doesn't recognise the phone. Tried the Tmobile 2.26 same thing.
Also used crossbow WM5 AKU2.3 and AKU3.3 ROMs they worked but fails at 96%
The only ROMs that worked is Wizard Love ROM but it spends about 20mins to get to the part where it asks you to align screen and it doesn't move from there
Thanks for the info on the WM5/WM6 also the network wizard cab file. Really hope that phone works
I'm a pretty desperate guy right now cos i use the phone to trade and money is moving, she(money) is a *****

WOW
Thanks for the response
About the pix you reffered to? Yes thats exactly how my phone looks like
I had used the HardSPL to flash the new ROM.
I removed the HardSPL and the Olip in my IPL was changed back to the 2.26.0001, SPL 2.26.0001
I tried the cingular 2.25 ROM but it says it wasn't meant for the device and most times the RUU doesn't recognise the phone. Tried the Tmobile 2.26 same thing.

PS: My IPL/SPL is 2.26.0001

OK. Good info.
Not sure how you did it but somehow you managed to get the T-Mobile IPL/SPL on it, and yet it still recognizes it is Cingular. For one reason or another one aspect does not let the other load and vice versa. ????? Hhhmmmnnn ????
Here is what I would try.
1) I have attached a zip file called SoftSPL. Inside I have made an image file nk.nbf, which contains ONLY the 2.25.0001 IPL and SPL for the Cingular 8125.
Unzip this folder to your Desktop and then try to run only the "newromupdateutility_wizard_noid.exe". Remember, start the phone up in bootloader mode, connect via USB then run the "newrom...exe" file. If you get an error right away saying this is not the right update utility for the phone or something like that, then start over ... i.e., disconnect phone, pull battery, start phone in bootloader mode,reconnect via USB, but this second time try using the one called "2.exe". I found sometimes when I flashed ROMS the first one did not work and the second one (2.exe) did for me.
IF this works, once you get the 2.25.0001 IPL and SPL showing on the bootloader screen then start again (pull battery etc. same as above) but then re-flash back to the original Cingular OEM 2.25 ROM that you tried earlier (the original RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.exe). Try this and let me know how it goes.
If and when you get it back to the original Cingular ROM, if you get to this point, you can then start back like it was when phone was "new". It will still be SIM unlocked so you can use any carriers SIM card but you cannot flash other ROMs.
If you are going to try other ROMs, re-apply the HardSPL, but make sure you only use ROMs that have been cooked, say they are safe for G4 devices and do not have IPL/SPL in them. This means when you have it HardSPL'd you cannot, or should not use other carriers OEM ROM's such as T-Mobile 2.26 or 3.08.
Lastly, if you do like some of the "extra's" offered with WM6 or higher and do not like a slow phone and want to keep it fast like a WM5 ROM, then stick to either WM6.0 or WM6.1, clean (or what they call Vanilla) ROMs.
Good Luck. Give feedback of how it works out for you and pay attention to errors and messages and IPL/SPL etc. for reporting back and I can help you a little more.

Another thanks again.
I really owe you if and when my phone is finally done cos i think i am getting there.
But i successfully changed the IPL/SPL but on flashing the cingular ROM it says the RUU cannot see my phone and once it sees that it says the update utility cannot be used for my phone.
So what next?
Maybe the ROM is not the right one but i ensure it was meant for g4 tho"
Tried MUN-RUU but to no avail
Eagerly waiting your reply.
Thanks again

OK. YES. You are getting there.
You say the phone is now IPL/SPL 2.25.0001. It shows this on the 3 colour bootloader screen?
What did you run in order to flash; did you run the "newromupdateutility_wizard.exe", or "2.exe", or did you need to run the "START-sSPL.exe" to flash th nk.nbf file I made? (I don't think the "START-sSPL.exe" works from the bootloader screen...phone has to be booted to working status).
Here's what is next. I made a new nk.nbf which is the Cingular 2.25 OS, splash screens and 2.25 radio only. I removed the IPL/SPL and the Extended_ROM, and cooked this back to nk.nbf.
Download it from here .....
http://www.fileswap.com/dl/7WhstX82/nk.nbf.html
..... and copy this to the folder you made of the SoftSPL earlier (overwriting the other nk.nbf - you may want to save that as a back up)
Now try flashing this new nk.nbf again as you did for the IPL/SPL.
If it works, then let the phone boot up completely. Check it out. And then you can run the RUU for the original Cingular OEM once the phone is booted to get it back to Cingular OEM state (full IPL/SPL, OS, GSM, Extended_ROM, etc.)
From here (if you make it) then any further flashing of ROMs, you will want to flash G4 safe ROM's, and you can do this using the SoftSPL folder. Copy the nk.nbf from the custom ROM you want to flash into the SoftSPL folder and run the "START-sSPL.exe" with your phone connected (not in bootloader mode, has to be completely started up and recognized by ActiveSync, but you do not need to establish partnership ... just skip/cancel that part and phone will connect to ActiveSync as a "Guest").
Good Luck. Let me know how you make out with this.

Just to answer your questions.
I ran the "newromupdateutility_wizard.exe"
Would follow thy new instruction sire and get back to thee.....lol
Thanks again.

I am not here to say "Yipee, its done'
But rather to say that the universe, cingular and the god of communication might have just conspired against me.
Just when i think i would finally get my phone working after 3 weeks, a 2 yr old kid took my batteries and only God know where that batteries is now.
Tried to buy a new one but all i get is "Wow! that a pretty old uncommon phone here"
I intend to use an ac to dc converter and when i am done i would give you the feedback
Thanks
PS: Just wanted to give you the heads-up

So i found the battery early this a.m.
Flashed the phone with the ROM you uploaded and it was succesful but on starting it i get a green screen and its damn slow and doesn't even pass the spot where you are asked to align screen (i really do think that nothing happen and its still the Wizard Love ROM that its still booting into)
So I am still stuck?
Hmmm....

OK i guess there might be a psych diagnosis for what i am doing (posting excessive replies without any respond)
It just a worried person.
So i kept re-trying to flash the ROM on my phone about 2ce.
Then i noticed on the 2nd time at about 86% the phone seemed to restart itself into bootloader mode about 2-3X, so i thot the battery was running out. Decided to take it out and get it charged.
On plugging the battery back to the phone all i got was a white screen and starting it on bootloader mode OR hard-resetting still gives me that white screen. On removing the battery the phone flashes like once or twice.
Is this the end? The phone has brought an apocalypse on?
Been doing a lot of browsing for clues but nothing tangible yet.

God smiled on me and the phone started
Got the ROM you gave me flashed and its really refreshing to see the Windows Mobile logo again
But i am stuck at the align screen tho'
I tap and nothing happens unless i drag the target and it just moves around and get back to the original spot.
Thats the latest pal.

OOPS. I did not read all .... your posts ... I just answered your post at the end of the last page. Did not see these last 2.
This is a good sign that you get past the initial boot splash screens and make it to the Align Screen ... soft reset the phone again and look at the IPL SPL that shows on the screen. Is it 2.25.0001 or 2.26.0001?
If 2.25.0001 then let the phone boot up to the Align Screen (and if you cannot get past this then just leave it at this point). Plug back into computer and now try to flash Cingular OEM ROM 2.25 that you tried earlier using the stock file.
If this doesn't let you flash for the same reasons as before (i.e., Invalid RUU tool or Not correct operator) then extract the nk.nbf from the Stock Cingular ROM (right click on the Cingular RUU OEM exe and select "Extract here ...".) then copy the nk.nbf over to the Soft SPL folder and use the START-sSPL.exe and flash this way. (you can delete the rest of the files from the Extract process.
Good Luck. Let me know the IPL SPL you get.

I know my posts are getting sickening but i am really desperate.
Got some info about how to bypass the align screen online but couldn't get my phone to boot anymore.
Soft reset/Hard reset/Bootloader mode: All of it just shows a white screen and nothin more.
Any ideas?

PS:The last time i could start the phone the IPL/SPL was 2.25.0001.

Just want to add this cos i just noticed it:
1. Sometimes tapping the Camera button alone puts the phone on (tho' it shows that annoying white screen)
2. On connecting the phone to a PC the PC recognises it even tho' its off and once i put it on and that annoying white screen comes on, the PC gives the same sound as when a USB is detached.
Hope these info would help.
I"m really getting depressed now. Hope's looking dimmer.

OK. I am now suspecting that you may also have a battery problem. How old is the battery. Could be the battery no longer has enough capacity. It may charge but only hold a charge for very short time and voltage may be too low. Maybe enough power to keep some of the electronics "awake" but not enough to drive the LCD.
It is now IPL/SPL 2.25.0001 so it should be able to flash the Cingular OEM ROM. You may want to try a different battery. Other than this, if not a problem with the battery then I think maybe phone itself is coming to an end.
I would try the battery route, making sure you have a good power source, and then try to flash the stock Cingular ROM.
You can still get these batteries on ebay and phone as well. If you are going to spend any money then maybe instead consider a newer model phone on ebay. (if you are patient you can find very good deal ... I got the T-Mo MDA Vario version of the Wizard (WIZA200) for $25 plus shipping, brand new with a carrying case. It was an estate item from a salesman who passed away and phone was not used before he passed on. One man's misfortune, another man's luck. I am now selling this on ebay plus memory card and earphone here ... http://bit.ly/hDHxrW. I have two more on sale at ebay here... http://bit.ly/eV0zZh ... and here ... http://bit.ly/gLIiKh. I am selling 3 and I have upgraded to Touch Pro 2. Go with AT&T version as this can beused world wide on 3G in North America and is quad band GSM for use in rest of world)

WOW
Thanks Bud
I would change the batteries and really don't mind buying another one but the only problem is i am not in USA nor Canada except i give an address in the US to send it to.
PS: Got to the links and it was a bidding process that was over by the time i got there. If anything opens up you can holla at me.
Would get back to you if there are any new developments

WOW
Thanks Bud
I would change the batteries and really don't mind buying another one but the only problem is i am not in USA nor Canada except i give an address in the US to send it to.
PS: Got to the links and it was a bidding process that was over by the time i got there. If anything opens up you can holla at me.
Would get back to you if there are any new developments
