ActiveSync sync problems using USB

Hey all. Sorry if this is in the wrong forumsection, feel free to move it if so.
I am having problems syncronizing my TyTn II with my PC. I am using Activesync 4,5. I read somewhere that this can occur if you change the usb port from the one you were using the first time, and i think that is what i might have done.
Has anyone else had this problem? What can i do to fix it?

This (registry change) did the trick for me
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/activesync/120851-activesync-4-1-sygate-personal-firewall-pro.html

Thanks mate, that seems to be a solution to the problem. Only problem now is that as far as i know i dont have a regedit program on my phone. Which one should i use and how to i go about using it? How do i get the program onto my phone when i cant use Activesync?
Appreciate any help..

I just started a thread like this in the Hermes forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361633
here's what i got, haven't tried it yet.

Try this procedure step-by-step
1. make sure your phone is not connected to the computer in any way
a. Bluetooth off
b. WIFI off
c. USB cable not connected
2. Run spybot S&D (I always do this when the computer misbehaves - and make no mistake your computer is misbehaving)
3. Terminate all other running programs
4. Hook your phone to the usb cable and the usb cable to the computer. (don't worry if it syncs or not)
5. Open Device Manager and select Network Adapters
6. Uninstall the Windows Mobile Device
7. Disconnect the Phone
8. Open the Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstall Active Sync
9. Reboot the computer
10. Connect to the internet and get a fresh copy of Activesync 4.5 and install it.
At this point if you can back up your PIM to the storage card or something it would be great because I suggest you do a hard reset of the phone. go to the settings page and select System. Tap the clear storage icon and follows the instructions to reet the phone.
11. Reset phone as above
12. When phone reboots, connect it to the computer via the usb cable.
Phone should sync from now on.
Good Luck
PS.
MrVanx is right, that could help but it will limit your phones capability. However if my method fails that may be your only option short of reflashing the phone with some other ROM.

Thanks for the tip there, sook. I just tried it and it didnt work for me.
I did all the steps except for these:
5. Open Device Manager and select Network Adapters
6. Uninstall the Windows Mobile Device
The thing is i cant find my mobile device anywhere in the device manager or in the network adapters subcategory. Any ideas?
Is there any way to edit the registry on my phone without having to download and install something? Like a built-in program or something..

[SOLVED] - [Q] Fujitsu Simens loox N560 died after bad firmware

hi.
I'v got loox n560 that was upgraded to WM6.1-6.5 servel times without any problem.
the last time i did update, i did it accidentally with a bad firmware file(uncompleted download).since then, the device wont boot(just a white screen).and the pc wont recognize it.
any way to save it? or i made myself a nice paper weight?
thanks.

I think there was a way to put the N560 in bootloader mode by pushing some keys and soft-reset hole manually (the "monkey grip" it was called or something similar...) and with the file of the rom to be flashed in a SD card... perhaps you can google for information on this ancient -and more unsure that the cable one- flashing mode. Worth to try it better than have a paperweight...
Good luck!

I give you more information (shame that FIRSTLOOX information is not there anymore)
For manual bootloader mode: press On-Off button + left side button (voice recording) + stylus soft reset (for some seconds). Keep pressed On-Off and recording untill the dolphins appear.
I can't find references to flash from SD card. Anyway, for incomplete flashing, Newplowe gives this procedure:
"You should close process "wcescomm.exe" on PC in task manager. Then hold button record, power and puch reset after that you will come in boot loader. Run the program mtty.1.42 and select usb connect. If You will see the any error just start again mtty. Put command l c:\os_213u.nbf (You should put correct flash file in c:\ or use correct path to os_213u.nbf, l - like L but small). When it will done You should start PocketLOOX5xxFlashTool.exe and flash you PDA."
I got this reference from "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429148&highlight=flash+n560+card".
Good luck anyway.

this is very interesting...
i was able to put the device into boot loader mode and ran the command "L c:\os_213u.nbf" ("l" didnt work, but L did).
it did something to the device, a progress bar till the end of the screen.but the device didnt reboot.when i try to run POCKETFLASH program it couldnt connect to the device.
i runing windows 7, so i guess it the problem(ACTIVE SYNC is a XP PROGRAM).
i'll try installing XP on another computer and try this again.
thansks.

almost...
i have installed Windows XP just for this, and everything seems to go well, i connect with MTTY, put the l c:\os_213u.nbf command and the device respond.
the next stage i to flash with PocketLOOXN560FlashTool.
when i start it, i receive connection error, and then i go to recovery mode.the program try to communicate with the device, but i get at the end error that the ROM language is different than the language on the device.it says "(ENGLISH)" and there are also empty
()
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
at the end.
i doubled checked this with the original WM5 English rom, and its the same.
is there a way to change the language with MTTY?
any other ideas? its a shame to stop now after i can get a response from the device...
thanks.

The only idea I have is to check if after the failed flashing your N560 is still an "english" one. Perhaps the defective rom has changed the language of your device to something else...
If your device respond to communication with the XP computer, perhaps you could make a rom dump (in newplowe's page you can got tools for doing that) and check in the dump file with an hex editor which language actually has. You can always check newplowe's blog and forum (with google translator ), or ask him

Sorry i didnt post an update.
i have fixed the rom language.it had a gibberish mark at the end of the ENGLISH, after i have fixed that, .the device was flashed correctly and its working!
thanks for thelp guys

[Q] Question about how to get back to winMode?

Hello,
I installed a Windows ROM on my HTC touch pro, wich automatically loads the haret.exe to start android. But my battery is just running out of energy too fast, so I want to go back to Windows.
How do I do this?
If I take my SD-card out, it gives the error that there is no haret.exe.
And I can't synchronize witch my laptop in this status, so I can't change the Win ROM.
Is there somebody who can help me?

You can find all the information you need by searching first.
Anyway, try this.
Press and hold the down volume button and soft reset with the stylus. This should take you to the bootloader screen.
I'm not sure whether this will let you connect to Activesync so that you can flash a WM Rom.
However, if you have a Rom that you want, do this:
1/. Copy the ".nbh file" to your SDCard.
2/. Make sure it is named "RAPHIMG".
3/. Place it in the root directory.
4/. Press and hold the down volume button and soft reset with the stylus.
5/. Follow the on-screen instructions.
6/. Once this has completed, soft reset using the stylus.
Good Luck.

change the host file , try changing the regedit method , tried using device manager to troubleshoot the device driver.
it just cant work. im doing the correct steps . i even flash wp7 again to double confirm my steps.
i have my key already , im just lacking this step to proceed further.

HELP ??

The instructions you can find here are all pretty clear and they work.
I went according to this one:
1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;
7. Run the unlocker (ChevronWP7.exe) and click unlock button(Make sure your phone date is set correctly)
(you need to close skype and disable network adapter.. hamachi.. wireless.. Dropbox.. etc)
6. Install toms .xap installer;
7. Deploy Connection Setup.xap, Touch Xplorer.xap and XBMODDeployer.xap (Install it on the phone and run XBMODDeployer.xap);
8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;1. Install WP7 sdk Windows Phone Developer Tools;
2. Install zune;
3. Make partneship with zune and phone;
4. Attach the ChevronWP7.cer(you found in the toolkit) to your email and send the email to your email itself (On PC);
5. Login to your email account (On Phone), Open the email, Select attachment and install the cert;
6. Connect your phone to pc and make sure zune is running in background;

8. Copy the .provxml from the ringtons folder to the windows folder (on the phone using touch explorer app);
9. Run connection setup to install the .provxml;
You are probably just missing a step

you must be doing something wrong ..cause as i just stated above all the tool and unlocker still works as it did 3 months ago...check some of tutorials in the forum...

hi , i connected my phone using wpconnect , im still having same problem

Check your hosts file.
If it contains following entry, Chevron will not work:
127.0.0.1 developerservices.windowsphone.com

I cant remember where I read this but it helped.After completing the above instructions,Open task manager(Ctrl ,Alt &del).Go to processes ,select zune launcher and click on end process.reboot pc ,connect phone , wait for it to sync wit zune ,if it doesnt ,run zune then run chevron and you are done.I did this for 3 phones and it worked.hope this helps.good luck.

another confirmation that the unlocker still works for me without any problems at all...i dont nor havent deleted any host files or changed any setting at all within the machine. I have had one or two problems with it not working, the first problem i ever had when i first started using the unlocker was the registry key not being edited correctly... and for the second time it didnt work, all i did was unplug device and let re sync...tick, tick BOOM unlocked!! Besides those couple times it has always worked for me...Bought a new machine today and installed tools, then zune software and created account " naming phone " and installed chevron, opened and unlocked....if you have sdk tools installed and have the unlocker installed, with zune software completely set up and phone communicating with zune, not as guest...and you will change the relationship from guest to " whatever you name your phone " during setup... haven a complete and main relationship with phone " not guest " is one of the most important parts with zune!!! The other most important part is making sure the registry is edited and should look like this...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsPhone\ProxyPorts]
“DeviceReg”=dword:000069C5
the window phone developer tools will edit reg for you...i have learned that if you relock the phone it sometime can takes a little while for things to click and be able to unlock again!!
So there is nothing wrong with any of the tools or unlocker, so if your having problems tripple check your zune settings to accomplish a non guest relationship, and check your reg. edit.....most problems i have seen and heard about are ppl and their zune!

how do you ensure that it is not GUEST?
i seem to be unable to get it to sync with ZUNE

Wow... you can come and work on our helpdesk any time, they log calls about as badly as you explain a problem lol.
You've said it's "not working". Why isn't it working? Where are you getting up to? Are you getting an error message?
Have you deleted all entries of Developerservices... from your host file?

make sure you have corrected date and time
and if possible use SIM Card with "big operator" in your country (well known operator)
sorry for bad english, using google translate

Bricked phone build.prop missing

Hi to all here. i just want to ask anyone what to do with my phone. well first of all, my phone is a sky pantech vega racer im-a760s, not really a match for samsungs popularity but budget wise this is the model for me. it has a dual core. now my problem starts when i started editing the build.prop in its system (tweaked for some texting problem of limited character sending). of course i know what im doing on that part, but the only thing i didn't think that would happen was, i copied it in my computer, i edited it there, then i saved it as "all" in file type so it wont become a ".txt" format. but when i placed it in my phone. the file instantly disappeared, i think it was only hidden and the phone just cant identify it nor read it like something. now i restarted the phone, it booted up to its logo then it just went blank and it just stops there. i tried pushing recovery with adb in my pc cmd. but it cannot detect my device(no problem with my adb installation to eliminate this from the question), i also tried putting an sd card with a recovery file but there was no option for sd card path. but the phone can still function well, i know because it can still be loaded under flashboot, download screen and S / W upgrade menu and it can still perform wipes for all partition and caches and can reset for factory settings etc. but whenever i will reboot, its not going to complete. anyone please help me how to make my phone be detected by my pc. The usb drivers are just fine, updated it many times, read all procedure for making the driver connect perfectly. i reformatted the sd so it wont be a problem when i put it in. but in the recovery menu i just cant see my sd card, theres just the option for "update from external storage" but it doesn't have anything inside. what a mess. i cant make my phone reflashed cause its not responding with the connection with my pc. but when i am opening an odin (just used for connection monitoring) there are two yellow boxes with com port like these: 0:[com7] and 0:[com9], so i know it is still somehow communicating with my pc. please help any advice, i dont want to resort to jtag for im not sure if it will support my phone and it's already avialable for the model but definitely not going to send my phone for repair cause it will be costly. thanks to all who will respond. Please help thank you. additionally: OS was ics version 4.0.4 and rooted. already gone through rooting several times with no problem. just the editing part.

to edit Android files on Windows use only Notepad++ anyway do not use Windows notepad this is for Windows files formatting only
well, you have to get build.prop from your phone edit on PC then copy back
so enter recovery connect phone to PC create a folder say C:\tmp
to get build.prop from phone
Code:
adb devices
adb shell
mount system
exit
that's to mount system partition then
Code:
adb pull /system/build.prop C:\tmp\build.prop
edit it and copy back to phone
Code:
adb push C:\tmp\build.prop /system/build.prop
maybe is not your case ? but I wanted to give you an idea

@ruscan.calin
Thanks, great. i will try this one once i get my phone recognized by my pc, adb seems not able to find my devcie have this message like this one:
"
c:\>adb devices
adb server is out of date. killing...
*daemon started successfully *
list of devices attached "
and that's it nothing happens.
thanks for the advice i will definitely use this once i get my phone connected with my system. thanks a lot

Hi, cant still afford to make the adb component in my device manager to appear, but it's good to inform you that it helped me a bit because i was able to see the storage of my phone and i was also able to put some files in there without any hassle that alone was satisfying me that my phone is not really dead. sad to say i did everything i could to have my pc detect my phone via recovery menu, but still no devices found. it's really weird that some links are saying that i should make my phone's "usb debugging" enabled, wherein fact i cant even go beyond my original problem(bricked phone), i can't even see the inside of my phones directory, only the storage one that was activated just recently. i even did a reinstallation of my usb, uninstalled every other phone related usb installation to avoid conflicts reinstalled my phones proper usb installer then restart. no progress still to be called. it makes me feel that the phone was just trap in the state of booting and not knowing what to do because it cant see any command inside its system. i cant go into the systems directory as well. and that's the only way i think i could revive my phone in replacing a new build.prop, as you advised to be edited in a notepad++ which i recently acquired and installed. by the way how do i save the build.prop to its original file format, and what is the extension. thanks alot for helping out. im getting a little brighter each step of the way, im not loosing it to come to smashing my phone to pieces instead of keeping a very expensive paper weight.

usb debugging enabled is not useful in this case (you can't set it )
build.prop is a file with .prop extension save file with notepad++ name it build.prop then check location of file it should be build.prop notepad from Windows saves it as build.prop.txt that's not good also notepad adds some formatting characters inside file that's wrong so use only Notepad++ when working on Android files (or VIM for Windows editor etc anyway do not use Windows editors they are good for Windows files only)
-try these things on another computer (to install drivers etc)
-I advised somebody to send a mail to manufacturer and he got a reply with a link to stock rom... that's great !
-if you link me your build.prop file I can tell you if it's ok
-pc link - that's to be solved firstly check manufacturer site for sync software/ drivers even send mail

that's great news, you actually come to emailing the phones manufacturer? wow, im flattered. well you're a very nice guy to help me out on this. and i have good news too. i found out that i have a little conflicting usb drivers, as i have installed samsung for my previous phone(samsung galaxy 1) i had it liquidated for this new one. but a little hard on the support. you gave me a new idea about the usb. so i uninstalled all the related usb drivers and have it reinstalled. now i am able to communicate with OTA firmware server, and i got a reading that was not happening before(stucked in just detecting the phone) now i have a percentage reading of downloading or so. but i still have to wait if it will complete and have it repaired. so by now you can give me a little more help cause im still not at it in pushing through the use of adb programming. and the link you mentioned, i'll wait for the progress about it and see what really was it. and thanks a lot. really appreciate it.

fixed bricked phone via OTA by fixing link to pc.
Hi, i thank you for your help. i managed to fix the phone myself. i just missed the simple step that you advised me. fix the link first to pc. i have installed another model of the phone for the same manufacturer with different type so that was causing the mixed up for updating and recovering via the OTA site of the phone. so yey. you helped a lot. i thank you. i am now running at ics version 4.0.4 and now rooted. i will not commit the same mistake of saving the build.prop with another format. that was bad. so then i'll be very careful in editing the build.prop and first of all, i will keep a backup inside where i can access it even if it will be hard bricked. never forget that one from now on. so this is it. i thank you. of all the place ive been circling around for answer. here is where i found it. and just one person. hooray. thank you very much.
