I'm so pissed
Last week my iphone broke, so I've been trying to get my old 8125 to work.... It was working fine, and I had this old NBD OS on there, WM6
well it was very unstable, so I figured I put 6.5 on this thing...
I downloaded the XD-2's 6.5 OS and now as soon as 'updating the ROM' status bar comes up the RUU freezes up at 0%... I get the 'Room Update Uitlity has stopped working' message...
I have a 64 bit Vista that I tried this on, and also tried it on the Windows 7 (32bit) laptop... same reults
can anyone please help me?
and on top of this, when I synched it, it deleted ALL my contacts that I had to put one by one from the iphone =/
the phone is fully unlocked, and is upgraded to IPL SPL 2.26...
anyone, pretty please?
Update your Wizard in Windows XP 32bit! I never get Vista 64bit or 32bit upgrading method to work. There is nice step by step manual but it never worked for me. I tricked it with upgrading from Windows XP running in vmware Drivers in XP and Vista are different, that is why it did not worked. There are drivers for Vista both 32 and 64 bit, but it is not signed so it prevents Vista to use it. Microsoft wants lot of money for signing drivers!

Hi all I've owned this great phone since they first came out.
I had Vista on my machine then and I synced it up no problems.
2 Days ago I did a fresh install of Vista when it was all done my phone synced up again fine.
However yesterday I did a final fresh install just so I could get it just the way I want it without excess programs on.
However now my phone will just not connect.
I'm good with PCs however I'm stumped. It makes the ding sound when connect however WMDC does not recognise.
I have the latest WMDC x64 patch installed. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
PS. this is a great forum

Hi Folks,
since some weeks i got an error everytime i want to sync my HTC Kaiser with my Outlook. When i connect the phone Windows recognised it and starts the WMDC, i see the picture of the Kaiser but no name. When i try to set it up for sync, i got an error. With my Universal it`s the same i can access it, install progs and so on but no sync and no name.
I reinstalld the WMDC but no change, i use Windows Vista Ultimate x64.
Thanks in advance for your help.
hi jeckyl i have the same anoying problem i already tryed everything i am totally done wit microsoft because nobody is providing any solution
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
Problem returns
This morning problem just came back

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?

U should download "windows mobile device center" from Microsoft.
WMDC keeps returning an error
I installed W7 last night, and WMDC is really the only thing that I haven't got working yet. Each time I plug in my Tilt, I get the spinning circle, and then a message the WMDC has stopped working. I've rebooted twice. I'm going to do some more checking after work, but I was dissappointed when it didn't work. Beta is beta, I guess. I sent the reports.
maybe it depends on the built
i'm using 7000 and it works great.

Turn your computer on with your device already connected. When I didn't do that, sometimes my computer gave that message you mentioned or my laptop froze all together.
Uninsatalled WMDC, and then reinstalled
Now it's good to go. I hope WMDC is more reliable under 7 than it was under Vista. It only recognized my phone about half of the time.
Just remove WMDC6.1 and reinstall it.
Windows 7 is MUCH better than Vista. there isn't even a basis for comparison.
i thought that 7 was using device stage to handle all of the stuff for peripheral syncing?? or is WMDC still going to be the only way?
Windows update
Manually run Windows Update when the phone is connected via a USB Cable.
Might work, it did for me under Vista, the only thing that got WMDC 6.1 working properly, even over BT.

Hi I am setting up Windows 7, can someone please confirm that you still need WMDC 6.1 and not the 'add device / printer'?
Many thanks, Windows 7 is rocking at the moment!

It's worked for me with a Wizard + Elf(in) (Touch and O2XDA Mini S)
I have a G1 now and it's only ever worked on an older build of 7. Microsoft must hate it being linux and all
I can get it to work with my Diamond without any problems at all.
But, it will not connect to my Sammy i200, I have narrowed it down to not showing as a WM device in Device Manager as far, all deleting Temp files, checking Outlook etc. still trying...
I had to un-install and re-instal WMDC (I downloaded again from MS).
I also had problems running RUU on W7 but updating the driver (to the older one!) fixed that.
W7 does seem better than Vista in just about every way - and it's a Beta!
Love it
Its now driving me mad. Why after all these years is WMDC such a pile of crap?
It won't recognise either i200 or the Diamond now. Drivers seem OK, but I get 'Error'. Unistalled again, installed again, now it hangs on 'Please wait while WMDC starts'.
Plug devices in my PC with Vista, both phones start straight away!
On windows 7, when I plug in My mobiler fires up no probs, Tomtom Homes fires up, recognises and updates no probs. Try to sync with microsoft useless!
Edit:OMG, how simple was that!
Unticked 'Enable advanced Network' in Connections USB to PC, and voila job done, sync both phones no problem at all!
happy chappy.....
I have an HTC Trophy on Verizon. I have Mango version 7661.WP7_5_Trial installed. When I go to Zune it says I can update to Mango version 7712 and so I do. I get stuck at step 6 "Restarting Your Phone..." and the phone will reboot into the "Connect to PC" image. From there it does nothing. I have waited 60 minutes and it still doesn't do anything.
Please tell me how to get around this because I really want to update to 7712 :-(
P.S: I have tried this on two completely different machines. An HP Pavillion g6 running Ubuntu 11.04 via Windows XP SP3 emulator and a brand new Dell desktop pc running Windows 7. Same result on each.
Edit:
I guess 11th times the charm. Finally updated to 7712. It sucks, however, I somehow lost all my backups and I guess this will be the last kind of Mango I get for a long long long time
