RapiMgr hanging in Windows 7 - General Topics

I had been using Windows 7 for weeks withno issue (official beta, build 7000), then suddenly about a week ago I started having strange device issue. It started takin forever to go to sleep and when I got home and plugged in my usb hub or any usb devices directly in they would not be acknowledged at all. I think I have found the culprit. In the event viewer I am getting tons of errors from RapiMgr service not responding. Also, I cannot stop the service or terminate the process (WmdHost.exe) no matter how I try. I will restart and turn that service to manual startup now and see if I still get this problem. It doesnt happen all the time, but now that I think about it it may correspond with times where active sync wont connect for some reason (ie everything working fine but no active sync connection -> put it to sleep to go to class (takes forever) -> get home and plug in usb hub and nothing connects).
Anybody else have this issue? Was there a recent update to WMDC?

I'm also using the official Win7 beta, and I had a problem with WMDC when I first installed it. It wouldn't acknowledge that I plugged in my phone. I got really frustrated looking for a solution, and after a lot of cursing, investigating, and more cursing, I finally just uninstalled it and installed it again.
And if you can't uninstall it because you can't stop the process, try booting into safe-mode if you haven't already. If you don't know how to boot into safe-mode, hit F8 while booting Windows to have boot options come up, then select safe-mode. I haven't tried with Windows 7 as I haven't needed to, but in previous versions of Windows, I believe that was the key to press. Hope that solves the problem,
Dave

Thanks for the suggestions. There was no need to boot into safe mode as the process doesn't hang right after a reboot. It seemed to only start after running for a while. After rebooting I just uninstalled WMDC. I will see if the problem happens again but I am 90% sure WMDC is the problem. The question is just why would RapiMgr just start hanging all the time last week and continue to do so after a reformat? Perhaps the ROM that I am now running confuses activesync enough to cause it to freeze the process on my computer? I can't remember when exactly I started using this ROM. Hmmm. If I dont get the problem for a few days I think I will reinstall WMDC and then disable advanced network functionality in USB to PC on the device.
BTW, when I reformatted I decided to go to W7 build 7068. Not really any noticeable changes I dont think, but a nice new login screen background. MS did a very nice job with W7. So polished looking and a joy to use.

phone froze -> hard reset

damn I'm pissed. I was messing around with my phone as usual, setting up pRSSreader and updating all the feeds/channels. I had the phone plugged into my PC because it gives me a faster connection. My connection went out however, and pRSSreader gave me an error. No big deal... so I tell it to update all channels again, and it freezes. I soft-reset the phone twice and it doesn't get past the 3rd boot screen (for me, the blue WM6 screen from mfrazzz's XM6r3 ROM which I'm currently using). Damn. hard reset was the only thing I could think to do.
What would you guys suggest I do incase it happens again?
I sure am getting better at having a list of programs to execute on a fresh install
First you need to figure out if its something that you installed to cause this to happen. There are programs that don't play well with WM6 (but those seem few and far between). Make a list of everything you install on top of the custom rom. If it happens again, you may want to give this a try (but I wouldn't use it until you have the issue again, so you know its something you have added and not this program itself ):
http://www.airscanner.com/blog/blog.php
Its an alpha product (and I've never used it) but supposed to give you a SafeMode (like XP) so you can get back into your phone if software / regchanges go bad on you. SPB has similar, but I haven't used that (and not sure it works on WM6).
Unfortunately, if you are stuck in the 3rd splash screen there isn't much else you can do. You can try pulling your SD card and rebooting to see if that might fix the issue. Also don't be plugged into the USB cable when you reboot (I've seen programs like BatteryStatus hang on restart in the past if you are hooked to USB). Speaking of BatteryStatus, if you are overclocking (or using CPUscalar) try turning that off to see if the problem goes away.
Good luck, and let us know what you find...

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.

ActiveSync/WMDC, Xperia X1, Windows 7 Ultimate -> No connection.

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?

[Solved-BADUSB]I think I managed to brick this Captivate

I just got my Captivate last Friday. Hadn't done anything complicated with it, basically I just used "Unleash the Beast" to root and sideload the thing. Ended up with some sort of weird permissions issue going on with the SuperUser app that had been installed with it, I was getting permission request loops. So I used Odin to reset it. At this point there wasn't anything really wrong, USB worked and the device appeared to the computer. So I just rebooted the Captivate into download mode using adb reboot download and went on.
So later on I grabbed SuperUser 2.3.4(?) or whatever the latest one I found online was, loaded that to do adb pull /system/apps since I realized that Unleash the Beast just deleted everything and I honestly hadn't even seen what it removed yet on the phone itself besides the list on the web site. So after the backup I odin'd again and then grabbed the files from SuperUser 2.3.4 replaced the existing files in Unleash the Beast with it. Actually ended up working perfectly for a while.
I'd used the phone for a few days, no issues, finally got my 16GB SD card from my Raphael and inserted it, had been downloading apps left and right. Well all of a sudden the phone seemed to have it's USB stop working for anything but charging. I recall plugging it into a charger or computer when I first got it and it would ask if I wanted to mount the SD cards for use, then I would just see the battery indicator charging. and I'd toggled developer usb a half billion times trying to get access and fix it.
The computer didn't see it, device manager didn't even flinch(Win7 x64) like it normally does when you plug in and unplug a USB device. Tried it with another computer and same issue. So I rebooted into recovery mode and tried that, the first several times around nothing was detected. Well my finger slipped and ended up hitting the Clear user data and cache option in the recovery mode.
At this point when it boots up, i still dont have usb access, I'm stuck in a force close loop, I can't install apps, can't seem to get it to reboot into download mode via the key commands, and installing apps is impossible since browser and market crash on start.
I've spent the night rebooting and trying to get into download mode for odin, I used to be able to get into recovery mode everytime I tried, eventually I started to see an "uknown device" show up in device manager, which I googled some info from it and all I could tell was it was Microsoft's dummy driver for devices that couldn't be found. Another weird response, it seems to be beginning to hang on the charging battery thing from time to time now.
At this point, its been under a week and I'd trade it in. Except the thing is with enough struggling you can see the apps installed. Most of them were removed but Market Access and Superuser are still in the apps list, and I'm worried about AT&T spotting that, figuring out what I've done and rejecting the claim.
just under half the time now, it boots, the other over-half of the time I get the spinning "battery loading" icon that shows up before the battery thing gets loaded, but not spinning. It pops up, and disappears, from time to time goes to show me my battery status instead of booting, even when not plugged in.
I'd like to think I haven't tried everything? quite obviously i can't run update.zip files from my 16gb sd card since it gets mounted at /sdcard/sd, and I've lost the file browser to move anything around. I've tried rewiping but that doesn't do a thing.
I hadn't gotten to the rom manager stuff yet since I wasn't planning on playing with roms if at all. and at this point that doesn't appear to be an option anymore.
Any suggestions? I was getting to continuing to reboot it till the battery thing comes up 100% of the time then goto ATT and see what they say.
So long that you can get to download mode you SHOULD be good. When you plug in the usb..you need to pull the home dropdown..select usb and tell it to mount. I may be telling you what you already know but download mode is hold both volume buttons from the battery screen...one black screen...att screen...black screen and release pwer but hold buttons. I had problems with this so what I did was unplug the usb...volume buttons...hold power and see att boot screen...(plug in usb)...black screen...att boot...black screen and release power til u see download mode. You can use Odin and set back to stock from there normally.
If the PC is showing unknown device..you are kind of stuck til you fix the driver issue. Maybe remove and reinstall or something not sure on that but that's the first order of business. Go to the dev forum and try reinstalling from there. (One click Odin downloader has teh drivers)
If your phone boots or can get into recovery or download mode you are ok. I ran into the problem where I couldnt even power it on.
Well by now I know that download mode is the holy grail to get things fixed. Recovery mode, I used to be able to get to, but didn't show up. I'm wandering if somehow my USB port got shorted or something.
The drop down option to make it mount is why this all began, it disappeared and never came back.
Trying your steps specifically, first couple times would just end up back at the battery screen. I eventually ended up at recovery mode. Did I end up at recovery mode for releaseing early or late?
I've reinstalled the Captivate drivers a couple times now and tried clearing all past installs of it. Still unknown device. At the moment I have it in recovery mode, so I've rebooted my tower into Ubuntu(Which has the sdk, but never tested with it). Since I've kept reading that Linux doesn't need drivers. Well ./adb start-server and ./adb devices still show nothing...
I can grab a fresh computer that never connected to this thing to try, but I'm kinda doubting it will do this trick at this point. I'll download the odin w/ drivers on it and try that.
hmm.... just ran over to one of the computers here that had absolutely nothing to do with android on it, no drivers, no sdk, no software, nothing.
Went to
[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers(new user=no links)
Downloaded the Windows X64 drivers, installed and rebooted
Plugged the phone in after it rebooted and I'm getting
Unkown Device, I'd pull some info from the Device Manager, but all it is reporting is scewed due to it being a usb device and Windows installed dummy drivers.
All I've got left for testing is my brother's Win7 x32 laptop, granted all I've been able to try with here has been x64 so far. Also on the first computer I was doing all this with. The drivers DID work, they WERE installed and functioning. Previously I could ADB to my hearts desire and I've used odin before. I used the same USB port, used different USB ports, tried different cables.
I had some strange issues on mine. When I would try to go to download mode. All of my USB stuff (KB and mouse) froze up and I had to plug in via PS2. I had the unknown device issue and Not sure how I fixed it. I downloaded and installed the Samsung Kies program and I also downloaded the driver. Ultimatly after banging on it for a bit it worked..not a Unknown device but it was some king of...Gadget Driver or some stuff was messing with me. Try installing Kies and see if that does anything...also make sure you remove the drivers before installing. It acted really squirrly to me too tho. From what you say..it sounds like a borked driver. Im on 32bit XP and took it home to my 64 Vista and got it working whne the 32 was jacking me around.
Just had a chance to try with Kies real quick, I'm not so much thinking i killed my drivers but that somehow the cell phone changed it's id calls. I'm going to give it a shot with kies on a fresh Vista x32 system at work. I still can't seem to get it into downloader mode, but I'm getting more consistent with Recovery and getting the thing to boot back up. If I consider the Battery screens to be your blank screens then I can get it to go recovery or "normal" boot. But still can't seem to get download mode at all.
Up until recently, I didn't get Unkown device showing up even when the system was in "normal" boot. Before, originally it would only show up in device manager in recovery mode, and then it would be the unkown device.
Just out of curiosity could you spare the driver specs for your setup so I can compare? Like Date, Version, and any Hardware IDs? I'm wandering what hardware IDs this thing is giving off since windows wont show me.
Well not sure what suddenly happened. But after enough reboot--attempts, recovery mode is finalyl appearing on my office computer as SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device. Win Vista x32, only installed Kies and download SDK(speaking of, adb still doesn't see devices). Just finished redownloading odin(wish i'd had a thumbdrive on me when i was at home) and am about to see if I'm going to be lucky by vista somehow.
If you still keep having issues find a way to short the phone out and tell at&t that the phone just got really hot and then turned off. They should replace as a bad unit and get you hooked up with a new one.

Well that thought has occured, that and magnets lol
I think i might have found a clue to the cause. I think it was tied to the whole usb thing. When it appeared to show up at all first time around, i had tapped the menu button while in recovery. And the natural way I'd been holding it applied just a little pressure on the usb cable. Well I got the phone to finally show all the notifaction tab options for debug and storage when i held down the usb plug in the phone down a little bit. I'm guessing that the pins for power are fine but maybe the data pins, or maybe one of the data pins is loose and thus it's an unkown device since it's not responding correctly.
I didn't have time to finish trying to fix it at work, and i'm stuck in class now. I'm'a see if i can get admin access on my terminal here and download everything while the teacher does his orientation. Otherwise i think i can fix it once i'm home now.
=====EDIT=====
Well getting the phone into Download Mode was a bit easier with Ubuntu via ADB since I don't have to wait for Windows to load the driver. Then just rebooted the box into windows for Odin. Long painful story short, I didn't setup Rom manager to be able to undo my changes when the USB port went bad/inconsistent and didn't expect those changes to complicate the recovery without USB. So I'm making sure it's a rather provable issue and going down to ATT with it. 7 Days from receiving the phone, and I'm goin in for an exchange due to bad USB. Funny.

Stock TF700 boot loop, can't turn off device.

Back in June, I turned on my TF700 with the dock attached, it started as usual.. I turned on my wifi, opened up my browser to look up plane tickets, then it restarted. I didn't think much of it, and when it loaded up again, I tried to look up tickets again, and it did the same thing. I gave up, closed it and zipped it up in my sleeve. It was a few hours before I got home, and when I took it out of the sleeve, it was quite warm! It was constantly rebooting and there was no way to turn if off. I left it out of the sleeve and let the battery die. I didn't use my tablet for a few days, and when I went to turn it on again, the same thing happened, and has been happening ever since. I have tried to start the tablet while connected to the dock, the wall charger, without the dock, with wifi on, with wifi off, etc. The tablet gets to the lock screen, I unlock it, and I only have about 10 seconds before it freezes and restarts. I am unable to turn off the device, because when I choose "shut down" from the menu, it shows that it's in the process of slowing down, but then the spinning wheel freezes and it vibrates and restarts before it can fully shut itself off. Since I can boot into android, I thought it was something that the tablet is trying to run upon startup that was causing problems. I was able to quickly get to settings and apps, to uninstall several apps, but nothing has helped. I used to have a task manager widget on the home screen, and uninstalled that too.
After doing research into the problem, I found that most people who have boot loop issues or constant restarting, are rooted and are experiencing difficulties with a new ROM. I am 100% stock. I have held down power and volume down. It gives me RCK, Android and Wipe. I have tried cold booting into android, but the same restart loop after 10 seconds occurs. I thought it might have been a bad firmware update that went through unbeknownst to me. So I downloaded the firmware file from ASUS, renamed and flashed it sucessfully. However, no change in the reboot problem. I am running the following version: US-epad-10.6.1.14.8-20130514. I know there's a new version out, but wasn't sure if I should try to flash that yet.
I am willing to try absolutely anything to fix the problem, with the EXCEPTION of wiping data. I know that would be the easy way to go, but I have photos and videos from my best friend's engagement and they are the only copies. If I am able to get my tablet to be stable enough to copy those off, I would then be willing to wipe and have a fresh start. I have tried connecting my tablet to my computer, and it is recognized. After it boots up and I unlock it, then the tablet begins to mount (I'm on windows 8). However, I still only have 10 seconds or so before the tablet restarts, and that's not enough time to even view the folders from the tablet.
It's been 3 months since this started, and I have done lots of research and tried lots of things, but nothing has helped yet. Since I haven't delved too deeply into the dev side of android (I've only rooted my S3) there is lots of android speak that I don't understand fully, or have experience with, like ADB. If someone is willing to offer suggestions on what to try, I am very good at following directions! Thank you for any help or leads you can offer.
Wow - you're in a difficult situation...
You being on stock I can only imagine the bootloop is caused by something you installed.
So if you can access settings and are able to uninstall apps, just keep doing it until you are back to the original stock setup.
Are you sure the files you are trying to save are still on the SD card? Don't know how you flashed 10.6.1.14.8, but flashing a complete firmware package ususally erases /data - although your persisiting bootloop indicates it didn't...... if the bootloop is caused by an app. And I can't imagine what else would cause it.
You could try to do a factory reset in Backup&Restore but you will loose the contents of your /data partition...
You can flash the 10.6.1.14.10 firmware file, but most likely you will also loose your data.
The only way I can think of to replace your bootloader and firmware without data loss is if you try to find a copy of the 10.6.1.14.10 dlpkgfile. That is the OTA update file Asus pushes out to users. It's a patch file, meaning it only replaces/updates new files and leaves everything else alone.
If you find the dlpkgfile on some forum you would have to place it into your /cache directory and reboot - and I don't know if you can copy it to your tablet before it bootloops again.
Unfortunately the reason for your bootloop is probably an app on the same partiton with the data you don't want to loose. Unless you manage to uninstall the culprit I don't see much hope....
Good luck!

Try getting adb access, this should allow us to diagnose the problem you are experiencing.
Tablet side: go to settings, developer options (if it is not visible, tap the build number 7 times), enable USB debugging
Computer side: no idea, they say Windows 8 is a bit tricky to get the drivers installed correctly.
When you have adb running, do "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" and post the downloaded file - it should contain valuable info about your reboots.

He's bootlooping..... How does he go into settings and turn on USB debugging?
I think the best option maybe to flash a stock Asus ROM from their site but that will wipe all data including those photos......

I have not use this method but you could try.
You need a boot OS tool on your external sd and run it from your external sd so you can access to your internal sd to copy files from there. You can search on the internet and you should find more information on how to use them depending on what boot os you are using.. Good luck.

What is a boot OS tool?

Try getting adb access, this should allow us to diagnose the problem you are experiencing.
Tablet side: go to settings, developer options (if it is not visible, tap the build number 7 times), enable USB debugging
Computer side: no idea, they say Windows 8 is a bit tricky to get the drivers installed correctly.
When you have adb running, do "adb pull /proc/last_kmsg" and post the downloaded file - it should contain valuable info about your reboots.

I was actually able to get usb debugging turned on. It took me quite a few tries, but I did it!
I've never used adb, but here's what I've done so far.. I downloaded the Android SDK and ASUS Pad PC Suite (which contains Asus Sync).
I was able to use the command prompt to navigate to the platform-tools folder and open adb, however when I type in adb devices, it doesn't recognize my device. What steps to do I take from here to be able to use adb to see my device, so I can pull the file to diagnose what's going on? How do I know if I have the right drivers installed so my computer can see my tablet? All I did was install the asus suite. Do I need to do anything further on that end?

What Windows version do you have on your PC?
You can check your drivers in Device Manager. Open it, look for your tablet under Portable Devices and check if the driver has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. You should be able to update/install/uninstall the driver from here.
Try to find out if there is a setting in your Windows version to only allow Microsoft signed drivers and disable it.
