This is for everyone out there who upped to WM6 on wizard models and found ActiveSync not recognising your fone over USB. Download ActiveSyncMode.cab (sometimes named ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab) and install it on your Fone. Run it - Start/Programs/ActiveSyncMode.exe -
http://www.utstar.com/pcd/downloads/ActiveSyncMode.sa.CAB
Select 'USB Serial Sync Mode'. Now try connecting your fone and it should work.
I tried almost 50 posts and advices over 3 days and this one worked like a charm. I know there must be other issues with other fones which have different solutions. Please feel free to add to this thread all/any verified solutions.
hi,
i have tried it, but it doesnt work. do you have made spacially things to get i work ?
Not really. Installed ActiveSyncMode. Ran it and selected USB mode instead of RNDIS mode. This fixed the problem for me with a WM6 upgraded 8125 and 2 other friends with Original ROM 8125 and Original ROM MDA.
i unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality" in USB to PC settings on my phone and got activesync to work for me when i was having trouble

I had to reinstall WM6 and now ActiveSyncMode.sa.CAB no longer fixes my connectivity problem. I'm getting fed up with WM6.
I have tried everything else and will now try this. I did not realize that this was such a problem, until I started researching to solve my own problem. So good luck to me.
Fixed it with my own build. So far. I still have to try and sync with another computer. That is where the biggest problem has been for me, is syncing with two computers.
Under Vista 64, I normally have McAfee firewall at the highest setting and also have Windows Firewall on.
At first, after upgrading to WM6, I could not sync. I then found some registry fix procedures and tried them but it did not work. I then installed ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab and it allowed me to sync. Maybe that combined with the prior registry fix might have allowed me to sync.
However, after I uninstalled WM6 and reinstalled it, I could not sync anymore. I installed ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab again, but it did not work this time. I did not try the registry fix this time because I can't find the procedures, which I originally found online. I can't remember how to find them again.
I then turned off both Windows Firewall and McAfee firewall and I was able to sync again.
I then reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center while having the firewalls off, hoping it would allow the installations to complete properly.
I then turned on Windows Firewall but it was still blocking the sync.
I restored Windows Firewall back to default and it made it worse. I then had to reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center and was able to sync again with Windows Firewall on. Often I would have to disconnect the cradle to establish reconnection.
Next, I needed to figure out how to turn on McAfee firewall and allow it to sync.
I then contacted McAfee and they told me to exclude Universal Plug and Play (UPNP) port 5000 and Windows File Sharing (NETBIOS) port 137-139. It didn't work exactly until I lowered the firewall one level. What all this networking stuff means, I don't know. I'll have to do more searches on them.
I now need to figure out how to put McAfee firewall back at maximum level while still allowing me to sync.

After doing all the steps above, I found that all I needed to do was lower the McAfee firewall level one notch to be able to sync. However, I'm still going to figure out why I had previously been able to sync at the maximum security level. There must be some exclusion that got remove that I need to add again.
Activesync and HTC s620 issues.
This issues is driving me completely insane, So far this thread is about the only related info on the problem too. I find it hard to believe there aren’t more people out there with these issues, anyway here’s were I’m at:
Got a HTC s620 Smartphone from BT, Active sync simply didn’t work from day one and me being an IT support guy I haven’t been able to resist going back to the issue.
For over a week I have made pretty much no progress at all, I can’t find a activesyncmode.sa.cab file for my phone that works yet so got nowhere with that, the HTC website is about as useful as a chocolate fire guard.
The first leap of progress was spotting a trick on here of disabling the advanced network functionality on the phone its self.
It was baffling me at first why my computer was picking up the phone as if it was a network adapter. (And trust me I tried all sorts of in depth stuff down that avenue). It makes sense now though that the Smartphone can be setup to act as a network adapter/modem. Hence now I’ve disabled the advanced network functionality on my phone Active sync instantly make noises and hey presto ‘Connected’ and then a few moments later I’ve now got some other critical error
So my quest continues, but I will get to the bottom of this if it kills me!
So for the record, anyone with a HTC s620 Smartphone running Windows Mobile 6, before you do anything else do this:-
Start
Settings
6. Connections
7. More…
4. USB to PC
(Remove the bloody tick from box) Enable advanced network functionality
I will report back with my next hurdle…
OK, as much as I’d played around with my firewall it would turn out that this is the second culprit causing my problems. I tried installing Activesync on my Laptop and Desktop and had the same errors, however the only thing those to computer have in common is the Iolo System Shield installed. Last night to just ensure I wasn’t going mad, I tried it on my wife’s laptop and hey presto! It worked first time. So naturally, I’ve uninstalled the Iolo System Shield from my computer and bingo, worked straight away.
This is annoying however, because I did everything from the Microsoft Help setting up exceptions etc. in my firewall. But there you go.
In brief:
Check your device has the advanced network functionality disabled.
Uninstall your 3rd party firewall and test to pin point the cause, then you know what you’re dealing with.
Just a second thought of advice, one of the first things I tried was disabling the firewall, from my experience that wasn’t enough, it had to be uninstalled to get it to work. Before anyone else goes down the hair pulling road of trying anything and everything under the sun, uninstall your firewall/system guard software. At least if it works after that you know exactly what is causing the problem.
Then getting it to work with the firewall installed is something you can focus on possible in conjunction with the software vendor.
I fixed teh same problem by unchecking the advanced box but .....
after oving back to wm5, I cant connect as well. I look for the working solution from WM6, but I cant find the menue to disable the advance usb connection.
It looks like that is the problem to sync with vista 64
Hope somebody has a idea.
thx in advance
My USB connection to activesync stopped working. (although at my second pc it still works OK)
It works via InfraRed though!
I think this USB problem started when I was trying to connect via bluetooth.
Don't you just hate ActiveSync!?
Well, maybe the problem is with Windows XP... because it doesn't recognizes the PDA.
Anybodies help? Thanks in advance.
No file ActiveSyncMode.cab !
Help
No worries, new link:
http://www.pcdphones.com/downloads/ActiveSyncMode.sa.CAB
Also attached to be safe
would be a shame to let a useful thread go into some archive, so I'm resurrecting this oldie.
Also, I remedied this activesync issue with a more straigtforward fix. Fresh flash of 6.5. After deleting all the USB devices in the device mgr (didn't help), I saw there was a WM6.5 setting for default behavior on PC Connection (or something similar to that). Changed it from "setup" to "sync" & that silly white toggling screen went away and allowed a flash back to 6.1.
When I plug my TyTN II to my laptop or pc, The active sync icon starts to lookup, but after 1/2 minits i get screen that it was failed to connect. I have this problem since trying WM5Storage. Does someone know how to fix it?? Cause I want to upgrade to dutty's newest rom.
Ps. It does sync with my exchange server but not local with a pc or laptop.
You should check if WM5 Storage is activate (left soft key in the program screen), if yes you should deactivate before connecting with ActiveSync.
I don't know if you have to restart the device, probably yes...
Ciao.
Ensure that usb advance connection tab is unchecked in connection settings,
also you can sync when using wm5torage so you have to disable probably have to restart both computer and device.
If it doesnt work un-install mobile device centre and re-install again, ensure you back up your pims first.
See if it works.
It seems wm5torage mess something up in your connections
let me know if those works
Dear Sir
This is the fastest rom I have ever had in Kasier, whilst the Xt9 did not work but I have deleted it. I noted no issues from the functions I used to use.
Good work!!

I too am having problems sync'ing my Tilt. When I go to uncheck the "advanced network functionalilty" in USB to PC, I get "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial"
Please help!
I found an answer after googling "Failed to disable RNDIS to use Serial", where someone mentions a bluetooth COM entry they found and deleted that solved it.
So, I look, find a COM entry from when I was playing with my (old) bluetooth GPS, deleted it, and now I'm able to uncheck the setting.
Now to see if I can finially sync with my PC...
Nope, can't establish a connection with my PC! I'm running Active Sync 4.5 on XP. I tried on Vista, only to learn that wont frigging work either. Any ideas?!

I am also having trouble with Vista...But I am able to have my Tilt Sync on Windows XP. I think I might have an issue just with Vista but it appears that yours may be phone related. Have you tried a hardreset on your device?

Nope, I realy don't want to do a hard reset, but might friggin have to.
I was hoping to find another soloution.
I will say this, last time I was able to sync anything, it was my 8525 before I flashed a WM6 ROM, but I know it's not a WM6 - XP compatability issue, others here have no problems. I know Vista has issues, so I'm not even worried about that right now. My Tilt still has the factory ROM, and still others have the same setup with no problems. I can't tell you how mad I'll be if I do a hard reset and it still doesn't work!
Would be nice to be able to copy the pim.vol to/from the memory card and have Outlook be able to import the databases from it.
im having same issue with wm6 ever since flash but wing and mda still sync running wm5 think its some sort of hardware issue havent been able to find anything on it though if you figure it out please post..... by the way i tried hard reset didnt work
HTC TYTN - Not Synching
Hi all,
I have HTC TyTn, which was syncing fine with my laptop. recently it stopped synching. i thought it could be an issue because of the my OS. i have reinstalled my PC OS and it still doesnt work.
any solutions to make it work without hardreset as i have got a bit of data on it to save before i do anything with it.

Unable to sync using USB...
When I sync using Bluetooth, all is fine & dandy. BUT. When I plug my Tytn II (MDA Vario III) into my USB port, it starts installing a new "Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" (I run Vista, with Vista SP1, BTW). This fails, with a message "The required registry key is missing"? I have tried removing any trace of Windows Mobile Device Center, reinstalling that, installed the MS driver update, no joy. Obviously,Vista being a Microsoft OS, it doesn't tell me WHAT THAT bloody registry key is/is suposed to be!!! Help?
After I installed Vista SP1 i can't sync my tc with my pc.
My PC does find the phone, but when the phone is starting Activesync i get the message on the phone:
"If you want to sync this phone to pc, you have to install ActiveSync 4.5 or higher".
But i have Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, i guess that's the latest version. Before SP1 it worked fine !
I hope somebody knows a solution for this !
Thx !!
PS already tried the setting USB to PC. When it's checked the phone does nothing. When it's unchecked, the phone tries to sync but gives the message above !
It works now !
Very strange !
But after some reboots, hard resets, un- & reinstalling WMDC, remove phone from device manager and reconnect, ......
Suddenly it worked out !
Why it did now, i really don't have a clue.
So for people with the same problem, just keep on trying all the actions i listed above and cross fingers
goodnight

I have the same issue. Few days ago it appeared and after soft reset of the Cruise and turning off and on the PC I was able to solve it. But today no way for the PC to detect the Cruise. Same issue as described above.
Anybody having a solution?
I have tried to update windows Mobile manager without result.
same issue without SP1
Now i have the same problem even without VISTA SP1.
Did full format of my pc so SP1 has never been installed !
Really getting sick of this ...
Please help,
Thanx already !

WMDC is nothing but headaches. I've had tons of issues with both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. The endless synching issues is annoying, and I hate that it deletes all my mobile IE Favorites that are nested in folders. I really wish you could use ActiveSync with Vista
IMO -- WMDC is a promotional tool for the iPhone...
Hello,
Try this http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950506/en-us/
By the way, I got the same problem after installing Windows XP SP3 !
The reason is that both WMDC and ActiveSync are not supposed to be compatible with new SPs.
"Note: Microsoft ActiveSync works only with Windows XP SP2 or earlier" (same for WMDC for Vista)
can be found at Microsoft web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...roductID=7C1FA894-B2C5-41BE-8D97-E145DD2A883B
I had to install SP3 in my company computer. That's what I got:
1) ActiveSync 4.5 behaves quite stupid with WP-SP3 (it opens Network drives at each sync/desync).
2) After multiple reinstallations it has allowed me to connect Polaris, but as "Guest" only -- with nothing installed.
3) The only solution to me was hard reset and consequent reinstallation of all I had in Polaris ...
syncing woes
I am having the same issues with syncing as well. tried all of the steps that everyone has listed & called HTC for help. was able to fix it once, but not the next time it happened. I don't think that the problem (at least for me) is with Vista-- I have an old laptop that runs XP and the same thing happens with that computer as well. the company I bought my phone from suggests that I send it back for repair-- aparently this is covered under the warranty and maybe an issue with the phone itself??. If I ever get this sorted out I will post back.
otherwise the phone works great. maybe I should have held out for that 3g iphone.
After uninstallation of Vista SP1 the synchronization was working fine again for me.
Then few days ago I tried to reinstall SP1 and did uninstall and reinstall WMDC as indicated by Microsoft. WMDC was working for 1 day with correct detection and synchronisation of my Cruise but now it's again not working.
I have again tried several times to uninstall and reinstall WMDC with the same result: no detection...
I have tried to make a filter in Bit Defender to force authorization of WMDC.. no result.
I have spent hours not being able to solve the problem.
I am really fedup.
I had much less issues with Palm OS...
I would like to avoid to uninstall again SP1.
Any idea?
I also had this problem, but now it is fixed
What I did was to go in the "USB to PC" menu on the phone and disable advanced network functions.
Hope this can help you as well
...if only that was a permanent fix It'll make things work for a while, and then one day things just break again. WMDC is a iPhone sales tool

I have also tried to disable advanced network functions... no result
I have tried soft resets, uninstallation, reinstallationl... no result
I have tried to stop the partnership and to re-create it (major mistake: it took me few hours to resynchronize all my contacts, notes and calendar events...)... no result
Sometimes it works for 1 day and after the issue comes back again.
According to forums I am not at all the only one facing this.
Only solution is to uninstall Vista SP1. Then it works fine again.
Microsoft is making products that are not compatible while done by the same company...
Can you tell me if it happened after you put sp1 onto vista? I'm thinking about upgrading but may not do if its going to cause problems - my phone syncing to my pc is pretty important to me!
Many users have reported the same issue relating to SP1. Personally, I had sync issues before and after SP1. Can be very frustrating. I'm just glad that for the most part, I sync with Exchange.

I sent my phone in to HTC for repair 5 weeks ago. still waiting.....
In my case, I confirm I have the problem only if I install Vista SP1... When I remove SP1 I have the synchronisation is working perfectly. With SP1 it's sometimes working but most of the time not.
Vista SP1 is clearly causing the problem in my case and I was not able to find any solution, except removing SP1 (see above description of all my trials).
Vista SP1 and same problem
I checked Microsoft's "solutions" - it didn't work... of course
few days ago I could connect my XDA Orbit 2 after computer reboot or via bluetooth anytime
now non of this works, but my totalcmd still see my mobile (plugin for WinCE availeble on ghisler.com)
any ideas?
Hello.
I asked the forum search about it, but cant find really an helpful answer.
I do have strong problem with Active Sync. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes, I got to install Active Sync new or drop out the device and add it new to get it done.
Button for fast data connection at the Touch Pro is enabled. Working with 4.5.0 and XP.
Can someone please get me a tip?
Hardware Problem?
I had the same problem with my TyTN II which is the reason I switched to Touch Pro.
The problem I could not synch was because of the MiniUSB connector. I had to change the main board twice. So now my wife owns the TyTN II
i solved that problem by changing another usb slot (it didn't work with USB from my monitor...)
Thank you.
I tried all 6 USB Ports and nothing helped.
Also, I tried to disconnect all other USB devices, also enabled and disabled the "Charging while connected to the PC" button.
Any other suggestions?
I also had thrown out the second device I had in Active Sync.

Have you disabled "advanced network functionality" in Settings>Connections>USB to PC ?
also try reinstalling active sync again...
@Wonkotehsame:
Yes, I disabled this function.
@ yahu:
So I did. Not just one time, many times. Always after reinstalling, it workes. Some time later, I am loosing connection.
Also, if I try to copy larger files like GPS software with appr. 1,4 Gb the transfer to the Memory card stoppes with the failure message: no such file found.
Can this be something along with the Active Sync problem?
I too have problems with this. ActiveSync says phone is set up to sync with a different computer, but it's not.
Still nobody any hint for this problem?
My problem is a little bit diferent...
My vista won't sync with my Artemis, but it syncs with my Glofiish M700..
If i change the PC (OS XP x64), the artemis syncs.....
So, my Vista Notebook is angry with my Artemis... neither USB/BT sync can be done...
Nice to hear that a lot of people have similar probs ;-)
What I have done now, deleted all of my connetions features/partnerships and made all new.
For now (maybe until Monday...) it works, but now I dont get a folder on the desktop of my mobile device. Is this an optional setting? Can someone tell my how to do?
I dont believe that NOBODY has an help for this problem.
As of today, no Active Sync in any ways is possible with my phone. Even not if I make a new installation.
Also; I made sure that all Anti Virus and Firewalls do allow all 3 Active Sync Files.
What can I do else???
Another try for the specialists:
I have copied now my Outlook.pst to a different Desktop, installed there the Active Sync. I worked w/o prob. That means, the problem got to be with the Desktop.
Last try: Who can help?

Looks like you are on your way to finding the root cause. I would try the same computer but a different user to see if it is related to the user setting.
This is what I have done last night. 2nd user, installed OL new and also Active Sync.
Nothing. Same problems.
I restarted the Desktop AND the device several times.
Nothing.
But, when I came this morning, it worked the first time.
The second it failed. I will go and purchase a new Desktop for the thanks of Mr. Microsoft!
has anyone found a real solution for this problem?? mmy computer recognizes the phone a a disk drive bt active sync does nothing. any help would be greatly apprecated
I'm getting this too. Sometimes ActiveSync works, sometimes it doesn't. I can't figure out what causes it to work and not work...
Theres only two possible solutions I know of from all I've ever heard of the problem:
1. Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC. Also, I know the prompt asking you if you would like to use as a disk drive comes up if you've set your phone to be read as an sd card reader. If the pop up annoys you, try removing the SD card and trying again.
2. Hard reset.
Sorry if it doesn't seem favorable to you guys.
Hello people.
I recently reinstalled my Win7 and I wanted to connect it with my X1, but when I plugged the phone in for the first time, Windows started downloading some weird drivers (RNDIS?) instead just opening the device control panel thing. Now I'm pretty much stuck and can't connect my phone to my PC (I get the connection error sound every time), except for the disk mode.
I've serched for some answers here on xda as well as on the internet and all the fixes I found either don't work, are already applied or open up new problems for me.
Here's what I've tried already:
Rebooting PC countless times
Turning off the advanced network settings in usb to pc menu on X1,
Reinstalling WMDC countless times
Downloading some weird WMDC updates from microsoft download center
Configuring the registry (Enum key) - getting access denied error to everything I'm trying to do there
Opening the device manager in Windows - It's just blank.
About the software and ROM status, my X1 was just HR'd and I've installed just some basic stuff like the performance pack (Advanced Config + SKTools), MortScript and S2P.
I know that the problem here is rather related to PC, but I hope you guys still can help me, as I'm running out of ideas (and sanity).
Sorry for my english (not my native language), and please do help me if you can.
Same problem here.
So far I've been able to troubleshoot it a little.
First off RNDIS is the regular WinMo driver. So nothing weird there.
Secondly WMDC does work when you run the app as an administrator (on my end anyways). That is in no way a solution though... just a workaround.
I now need to pinpoint the part that needs the actual admin rights.
I'm going to keep on trying to find the answer and I hope more people will help.
Thanks for replying for my post.
Launching WMDC isn't the problem for me though. It starts up fine, it just doesn't connect with the phone.
Keeping fingers crossed for a solution, and thanks again.
I managed to get it started too now.
Again, as an administrator it runs all fine and dandy, but no sigar as a user.
So after I get it started no connection whatsoever. Still looking...
Got it!
Installed the drivers through SCCM at system deployment. Then WMDC installs perfectly.
It still wouldn't run though. And this was because of a policy which was enabled: WPD Device: deny read/write access
Enabling write access solved my problem.
hi henk!
I had the same problem.
I changed the policy, then win7 installed drivers for the xperia, it recognizes the phone, I'm able to navigate into the memory card...
But the wmdc don't see my xperia is connected, and if I try to transfer some music from win7 to my xperia, it's very slow(1b/s)!
Have you got any idea?
Had you the same slow speed?
