Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't sync

So i got this error with a big "X" inside this red circle and next to it just says the word "Error" then nothing else when i tried sync using WMDC thats what happens. Btw im using a HTC Touch Pro and i tried plenty of solution from the Microsoft website this includes the following:
-Uninstalling the device driver and reconnect the device
-Disabling Advance Network Functionality
-Disabling firewall, antivirus software etc.
-Running WMDC on compatability mode
-Soft resetting device
-Hard resetting device
-Flashing a new ROM
Thanks in advance

what os?
try a new cable, or try plugging the cable into a different usb port.

i got the same problem. my pc:
Windows 7 with windows device center.
can not recognise my device.
i plug in the touch pro. i get the message to choos active sync diskdrive or share my internet.
i choose active sync.
then nothing happens in device center.
tried uninstalling rndis. after restart it installes the phone again and then it works for 1 time only. after that its the same.
i have searched forums saying that uninstalling device center does not solve the problem. also they say downloading the version on the MC site is another version that Windows 7 is shipped with.
Need help, wanna install another rom. i do have another pc, but i wished it would work on this pc.
any help would be very appreciated.
EDIT 24-10-2009
Also got this message at the properties of Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter:
This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
Hope that this could help me in some way

You could just update to the latest HTC ROM from the official website if your phone is still under warranty, btw thats what i did but it didn't help. Note, that i'm running Windows 7 as my OS if anyone want to know this information to help solve the problem. Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem.
in my situation i tried to recover usb-flash and flash a nokia phone. For both things programs installed their own drivers. Even after I deinstalled the software I probably still have their drivers on my pc. That's why I can't sync my phone...
is there a tool to manage installed drivers?
or the other way out is to reinstall windows 7

anyone willing to help?

This solution worked for me:

I found a different solution that worked for me: On my phone I clicked start/programs/active sync/options and deleted all the old PC connections that were displayed. In fact, you could probably just delete ALL the PC connections displayed and start from scratch. You'll just have set up another sync partnership in WMDC when you plug it in. Let me know if this helps.

it is to easy! should work ALWAYS:
Make sure "Advanced network functionality" is switched off in the USB to PC settings then:
go to activesync, menu, connections, disable "connect via USB" off, press "ok" go back to connections, enable "connect via usb" press "ok" unplug and replug your cable. and all works.

i had trouble with a 6.5.3 rom i just cooked. had to uninstall, reboot, reinstall wmdc, then i synced okay.

I have the last original rom and win 7 and with removing all remembered connections on the pda, it connected immidiatly. Thank you for the help

i have been all over the microsoft forums to no avail. i recently updated my laptop to win7, and have a fuze running 6.1 mobile. when i connect my fuze to the laptop the laptop recognizes it as it begins to charge, but then nothing. i try to open win mobile device center and this is the error message i get C:\windows\system32\rapistub.dll is either not designed to run on windows or it contains errors. I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times and also tried different usb ports on my laptop. If anyone can help that would be awesome

wmdc in window 7 64 bits

Hi All!
I've just changed from Window XP to Window 7
Unfotunately...
activesync is not working on Window 7 anymore...
I've install WMDC for Window 7 ,64 bit
but after the installation, and i plug in my phone,
a process for searching the driver loads for a while
and said: driver not found
The WMDC has no response when i plug my phone in.
I have tried different methods that i can search on the web:
1) remove device+uninstall WMDC + reboot + plugin and install WMDC again
2) disable the advance network function
but no luck...
I can connect my phone as a "USB drive", but what i want to do is to let my phone surf the internet through the PC... so I need something like active sync... can anyone suggest other alternatives which can fulfil my needs...or can anyone give me some tips on how to connect my phone to WMDC>.<
Really need help...SOS...

I encountered the same problem going from XP to 64bit Win7. I manage to solve the problem.
1. WMDC is not installed as a default during Win7 install. It is installed via Windows Update.
2. After this, WMDC will come on if u plug in the PDA but gives u an Error after trying to connect to the PDA for a while
3. Here's the solution. Go to COntrol Panel/Device Manager. Open up the list of devices installed. Plug in your pda and notice a new device is listed as "Unknown device" appears under the Device manager tree.
4. Click properties of this unknown device and choose to upgrade the driver. You will need internet connection for Windows Update to download the device driver. This driver is about 11.9MB file size.
5. After download, re-connect the PDA and it should recognize the PDA immediately.
I also noticed that if I plug in another PDA model, it will also connect and work.
Hope this helps.

I have do the same many times ...but still no luck...
what is your phone model?
I have sent an mail to Asus, ans it said there are no driver for window 7 64 bits for my phone model..... only have 32 bits...

[Q] Driver Issue: Windows XP automatically installs wrong driver.

To preface this, I'm running Windows XP and have an HTC Hero that's running CM6 Froyo. I have been using USB transfer fine for a while. Then, I decided to try out USB tethering and it wouldn't work without the proper HTC RNDIS drivers so I downloaded the drivers and installed them. Now, I can use USB tethering but cannot transfer files via USB. The drive simply doesn't show. I uninstalled the HTC RNDIS driver and plugged in my phone again but windows automatically installs the same HTC RNDIS drivers. I tried manually updating the driver by pointing it to the android USB drivers I got from the android sdk but they won't install. I tried deleting all instances of the RDNIS drivers but windows still automatically installs it. Windows first recognizes my phone as an "Android Phone" but then displays it as "HTC Remote NDIS Device." after installing those drivers. This is extremely frustrating and I'm sick of Windows at this point, or at least the add hardware wizard. Can any one help me please? Thank you.

I have this problem as well.

[Q] Problem with USB mass storage

Solved: Hopefully this helps someone else. I uninstalled all LG drivers from my PC. Then I connected my phone in via usb and checked my device drivers and updated them. However, rather than letting Windows find the best MTP drivers I chose to browse my computer and picked from a list on my PC. I selected the Linux drivers and everything works perfectly now,
I have a P509 running WC’s AOKP Milestone #6 but I did something stupid…while cleaning up files and programs I uninstalled my LG usb driver for my P509 and now I can’t get the PC to recognize the phone. I run W7 64 bit and it just won’t connect - not even from recovery. On another XP PC it connects no problem (it has LG driver 4.9.4 installed although I don’t recall installing it) and my laptop running W7 64 bit connects no problem either (it has LG driver 3.6 installed, but again I don’t recall installing it on the laptop either). Installing 4.9.4 or 3.6 on my problem PC doesn’t help. I keep getting an error that “MTP… whatever” failed. It’s driving me nuts. I can use the other computers if I need to but the problem PC is my main unit and more convenient to use for all my needs. Also, the phone is recognized by my work PC which has no LG drivers installed at all, nor could I if I wanted to as I don't have admin rights.
Any suggestions for my W7 PC?
Thanks,

[FIX] USB Tethering lags/freezes on windows 8.1

Everytime i tried to use USB Tethering with my Xperia U on my Windows 8.1 (Bing's single language Edition [Genuine Licence]) have always lags or even freeze the taskbar and some other tool settings on my operating system. After some testing and googling a little bit i found a solution for this Microsoft Issue: Update your NDIS 5 Driver to NDIS 6.x.
Verify if your device is using RNDIS 5 driver (1):
Open Device Manager from Control Panel and expand “Network Adapters.”
Plug in your device and enable USB Tethering so that the device is detected as Remote NDIS based device.
This should now create a Network Adapter named as “ [Your Device Name] Remote NDIS based [internet Sharing/network] Device.”
Right-click the Adapter and select Properties.
Select the Driver tab and then click Driver Details.
You can see the driver files if the files are named usb8023x.sys and rndismpx.sys you are using RNDIS 5 Driver.
Updating your driver:
Option 1: Update your driver NDIS driver manually by selecting the driver's list option on windows wizard driver's update. Unselect show all compatible hardware option, you will get a Microsoft's driver list. You should seek for a RNDIS 6 USB device and click next. This should work on 32bits or 64bits edition.
Option 2 (64 bits only)(2): Just Download and update your NDIS driver from the attachment below. On Driver's Wizard installation must go through selecting the driver from a list.
Sources:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2923775 (1)

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/dn449742%28v=vs.85%29.aspx. Microsoft says NDIS 6.4 is included on Windows 8.1, don't know why windows chooses RNDIS 5 over RNDIS 6 on my laptop.

Thanks for your great tutorial. I tried updating the drivers but stupid windows doesn't let me do it. If I try the first method to install and click the "RNDIS 6 Adapter" drivers in the "Microsoft" list, it shows an error that some "required line in the INF file could not be found" (translated from german).
Then if I try the manual method (downloading the zip), windows refuses to install and says "the latest drivers is already installed" (translated).
I also tried uninstalling the drivers but as soon as I plug in the device it installs the wrong drivers again manually. I cannot stop this also because of the extremely lag in the taskbar...
Thanks windows!
regards

Try this before installing the NDIS 6 driver:

If above didn't work try to disable driver signature verification:
http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how-to-disable-driver-signature-verification-on-64-bit-windows-8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/

Perfect, Thanks for this fix! Didn't need the driver as RNDIS6 driver is already included in Windows 8.1
NDIS Compatible works without huge driver lockups, but RNDIS6 USB Adapter also works like a charm. (Nexus 5)

Facing the same problem, here.
Tried both options, still facing the same problem..
Any ideas?

I am having the same issue in Windows 10 64-Bit.

Got this issue after upgrading Windows 10 (I was already on 10). This solved the problem perfectly. Thanks for fixing yet another fail from Microsoft.

I keep trying to update it on Windows 10 but it keeps telling me it's the most up to date driver(it definitely isn't). How did you go about doing it?

As OP said, manually select the proper driver.

Windows 10 best solution: rename the RNDIS5 .inf file
The issue drove me nuts on Windows 10 as well. Selecting another driver as suggested did not work for me as well, since Windows kept jumping back to the RNDIS5 driver all the time.
But I found the solution: Just rename the .inf-file containing the RNDIS5 driver. That way Windows will automatically use the RNDIS6 driver.
Go to C:\Windows\INF folder
Find file wceisvista.inf
Take ownership of that file and grant yourself permissions
Rename the file extension to anything but .inf (for me I used .in_)
Enjoy the RNDIS6 driver

Something is not logical in this tutorial :
The content of the inf file in the attachment is rndiscmp.inf; but this file is already in Win8.1 system (C:\Windows\Inf). Hash are similar
This could explain why windows refuses to install it again and says "the last drivers is already installed"
Renaming extension of wceisvista.inf doesn't work for me in Win 8.1
Maybe you could tell us the name of driver files when using RNDIS 6 Driver ...

This thread is also important for resolving playability issues with the game XCOM 2, so thank you very much for the fix to a problem completely unrelated to Android You guys are awesome!

Thanks, worked for my Galaxy S6.

You can use one of the below drivers from that list. One of them may work, try them all:
USB RNDIS Adapter
USB RNDIS6 Adapter
Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
Remote NDIS Compatible Device > this was the one that worked for me

Thank You :good:

Thx! Worked!! Windows 10 64 bit.

Hi guys, i get some issues here where it looks like i have only NDIS 5 on my windows 10.
I tried manually select driver, but i can only see this one : Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
i tried inkaine's method, usb8023x.sys is still there but rndismpx.sys is missing. So i think i'm still using this annoying NDIS 5.
I don't understand why it's so hard to update this driver.. :silly:

Windows 10 fix - Worked for me
Hello all,
None of the steps worked for me, however i followed one more set on steps that i found on the net (unable to post links yet )
anyways, the steps are
Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
Click Browse my computer for driver software
Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
Now you will have two options:
Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
Remote NDIS Compatible Device
I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
Pick one and click Next.
If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
PS: Microsoft Corporation or Microsoft Inc. or Microsoft might be present in manufacturer. search among the three
