Windows Mobile Device Center woes

I recently flashed my ROM from WM5 to WM 6. Thank you XDA. The problem I am having is now my Vista Computer won't connect with my MDA. Before the Flash it snyc fine. I uninstalled WMDC and reinstalled it and nothing. WMDC is aweful, Active Sync is great. Help maybe it is some kind of trick to get Vista to recognize it again with the new flashed WM6.

make sure you are using Active Sync. ver 4.5.....?

with some roms you have to uncheck the box "USB-PC" Found in settings/system/or sometimes found in connections,"USB-PC" and uncheck Enable advanced Network functionality. Then try and Sync

I can't use Active Sync with Win Vista. Any other suggestions..?

Then restore Vista to when it was working.

I'm also having trouble with Vista Ultimate (x64 and x32) and my Wizard (Octavoi's ROM)
It sees my device for a few seconds and then it closes.. The WMDC doesn't see my device at all...
The Event Viewer shows the following:
Windows Mobile-based USB device is plugged in but is unable to make a network connection to the desktop.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x80072745) failure (see data for failure code).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Does anybody know how to solve this?
I've tried to uncheck the 'Advanced Network Functionality', but that also doesn't seem to work.....

Firewall could be the culprit.
Check your settings in your firewall. If you have Windows OneCare that would also interupt your connection with WMDC. But with any firewall program make sure that it allows or is in the trusted mode for any Windows Mobile Device.

I have Windows Live One Care but I don't think that's the problem.
I turned it off and tried to connect... without succes
But I'll give it a try again this afternoon.

i'm the other way, i went from vista to xp at work because of stupid autocad 2008 problems (don't get me started) and i prefer wmdc over activesync.. i have ver 4.5 and i have issues like it sometimes will randomly disconnect or won't complete a sync. other times i have no issue though. I never had a problem on vista with wmdc.

when i first hooked up my pda in vista it would load the driver in vista but, wouldn't connect, turned out it was loading an older driver and i manually updated to the newest one and just like that it was connecting, later i downgraded the driver to be able to update the rom and it was still working.

Where did you get the newer drivers from?

Try this :
Go to device manager in Vista
While connecting your wizard the device manager should refresh and add a 'MS Windows Mobile Remote Adapter'
Now right-click that adapter and choose 'uninstall'.
Vista will add the device again and soon after WMDC should connect.
At least it worked for me...

I tried the same, but without luck.

Ok, I've flashed my phone and now it seems to work with Octaivoi 6.3!!

Trick the PDA. Activesync downgrade

Hi, I miss old AS 3.8. I could sync wirelessly and I could synchronize my favorites for offline viewing on my PDA
I don´t know what MS staff is really doing, but I would rather them doing nothing than messing with things that work. At least, they should have given us the option to turn those things on, again!
I use Wizard, WM6
I downloaded a program by the name "USB killer". (It turns off RNDIS). Then, I disabled "advanced network functionality" in the PPC (settings -> USBtoPC).
I just need Activesync on the PPC side to think that Activesync on the PC side is 4.5. Right now, on syncing, it displays the error message: "to synchronize this device, you must install activesync 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer"
Any ideas? Thanks
(I know that older WM versions required other Activesync versions: 4, 4.1, etc. So, there must be a check value somewhere, either PPC or PC)

Method
OK, maybe no one will be willing to solve this
Is there any way of monitoring the sends and requests that take place when you connect a WM device via USB?
If you do, please tell me. I will post the solution once I find it!

Repllog and activeync are embbeded into rom you can´t change or uninstall these at least you cook an AS-less rom or customied rom wth older AS (possible?), communications are setup by emulating a network card(you already disabled it) or via htc usb sync device (usb emulated similar to serial oldtransfers) only older devices can work with lower AS versions, you can always try another software in order to sync the stuff you need to
if you make AS PPC files from older versions work on WM6 let me know

Synchrinization problem

I connect my Pro to two PCs (work and home) to sync MS Outlook. At home I use Win Vista (mobilecenter), work WinXP (activesync). Had no problems when I was sync-ing only with XP at the begining. But after syncing with Vista, XP started to have problem (though Vista is fine) - showed some code error.
so I deleted pairing with Vista, did not help, had to delete also XP pairing and make new and all is fine as long as I connect to Vista as "guest" (no sync settings)
can anyone help? just note - XP is English, Vista is Czech language - I noticed that the names in activesync not correctly shown czech letters in options where are ticked items to bes synchronized

[Q] No connection, syncing problem

Hi, I bought a HD2 through Ebay and didn't get the getting started CD. I installed activesync 4.5 on my XP and WMDC 6.1.6965 on my vista. Both computer do not recognize htc device thru USB saying unknown device for a few minutes then stops, tab says "one of the usb devies attached to comp has malfunctioned (USB not recognized)
Have tried :
1) USB to PC - unclicking faster data sync, hard resets, reinstalling WMDC and active sync
2) changing power options to usb to disable selective suspend
3) close zone alarm and window firewalls
4) taken out SD card
5) tried WMDC 6.0, active sync 4.2
5) followed this website hxxp:/pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/wmdc/services.htm and trialled the batch.
Batch said UPnP service name invalid so I installed uPnP tester from:
hxxp://download.cnet.com/Universal-Plug-and-Play-Tester/3000-2651_4-10504740.html
Batch file continues to say Windows mobile 2003-based device connectivity and windows mobile-based device connectivity as invalid, but i cant find a way to install/update these from microsoft website or through the web.
Note: when i install WMDC driver software installation successfully, under unidentified device.
Version T-mobile: OS 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89) ROm 2.13.531.1. (im in Australia if that makes any difference)
I want to be able to sync to a computer either xp or vista. Could it be my device or is my setup wrong? Thanks for help in advance

I'm having the exact same problem except with my Fuze running Tael Rom.
Help, anyone?

Fuze Not Recognized by Windows 7 Sync Center

My HTC Fuze (WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20772 (Build 20771.1.4.6)) syncs just fine with my firm's Microsoft Exchange Server; but, the Windows 7 Sync Center on my laptop doesn't recognize the Fuze when it's set to the ActiveSync mode. Meanwhile, there's no difficulty connecting via the Disk Drive option.
I've read the related threads and have disabled Faster Data Synchronization in ActiveSync. However, that doesn't fix it.
Other recommendations?
Many thanks.
