WM6 stuck syncing and so on

Ok, I know I gotta PM mods here but I thought I'd make another topic about it since there might be more ppl out there knowing how to fix my problem. Feel free to delete it, or tell me to remove the topic and I'll pm any of you one by one, as you desire.
My Windows Mobile went crazy. Its a known bug but I just can't seem to fix it.
Already made another topic about it, since it occurs to a lot of ppl using the HTC Touch Diamond, but it might be a common Windows error, and not just to ppl using the listed device.
The symptoms:
- Access is denied error message when trying to copy files to the phone using ActiveSync.
- Access is denied error message when trying to delete any files or copy files between folders and/or the storage card on the phone.
- You do not have permission to download that type of file in Internet Explorer when trying to download any files.
- No programs show up in Remove Programs.
- Installation Unsuccessful error messages when trying to install any applications.
- ActiveSync will fail with an error message that you should start the troubleshooter.
And the solution:
Code:
- Please follow the exact steps listed below.
- Soft Reset is done with the stylus, if you press it in the little round hole that is next to the USB port of HTC touch (the other oval hole at the other side of the USB port is the microphone. Do not stick your stylus in that hole)
- Power off is done when you keep the power button (on the top) pressed and you see a message from windows, asking if you want to power off your device.
The procedure to fix and recover from this amazing bug.
1) soft reset device
2) Start / Office Mobile / Word
3) Create a new document (click on New)
4) type some text (just plain text - no formatting - it was 'plain text document') just a few characters
5) File / Save As...
6) I have selected type 'Plain Text'
7) It asked me whether I want to save it at 'Word document instead' - I clicked No.
8) I have powered off the device and did soft reset
9) Start file explorer, find the file (it was in My Device / My Documents), click on it - it opens Word again.
10) Add some formatting (I have selected part of text and changed font to bold)
11) Close Word - it asked whether to save it in Word format - this time I said Yes
12) Power-off the device and press soft reset again
Now you can find this anywhere on the map, with a lil bit of google skills, however .. its just not working for me. I did the exact things listed, and even changed some small parts of it during the 10 times I tried. And yet my problems aren't solved. I'm wondering, quite desperately, if theres anyone out there that might actual know what could have caused it or fixes it. I'm sooo not looking into a format/reinstall.
Thanks in advance

is active sync giving you an error code (a number)

Thank you for your fast response. Sync isn't giving an error code or number. Baiscally what the error messages tells me is, free translated:
"Synchronization cannot be completed successfully. Reconnect your device and try again. If the problem persists, see the Microsoft ActiveSync troubleshooter in Microsoft ActiveSync help on your desktop computer"
but in Dutch. All it leaves me to do is press OK and start a sync checkup, which doesn't find anything but the usual Outlook "problem" (I don't have it installed, nor do I wan't to sync email with it).

joel got an idea ?

Waited half a day, plox joel, if you got any idea help me out. I'm afraid I gotta hard-reset, but I wanna avoid it. Any help is welcome ...

No clue?

I'd like to bump this once more, since theres been some interest in it but now it's just forgotten

honestly, the best way to solve these types of problems is a hard reset.
the time you spend in here / searching in google / trying stuff is much longer than what you'd spend hard reseting and installing stuff.
i also suggest you get a system backup app so you won't have to reinstall and copy and sync every time you need to hard reset.

I know thats the easy solution, and I will hard reset my device, but only ONCE I got my photos contacts and texts off it. Especially the photo's are quite important to me.

[Q] [XAP] Internet Sharing + Interop Unlock all-in-one for Samsung Phones

Ok, I did this on my Samsung Focus, which is dev unlocked. The internet sharing works great to be honest. It says that it will Interop unlock your phone as well but I have a new problem now as when I tried to deploy the Advanced Configuration tool to my phone, it keeps giving me an error saying my device is not connected and I need to make sure it is connected to my pc. Yes, it is and Zune recognizes it but I cannot get any other apps to sideload any longer. Nothing else seems to be wrong but the Application Deployment keeps giving me the same error message. Has anyone else tried this and had luck, or the same problem. Please help if you can, thank you. I want to get custom themes for my phone bad. I already have the battery percentage app, the folders app, and the screen capture app which are all great. Any help would be appreciated.
****Problem Resolved*****

How did you do it?
What method you followed to come to the stage where you are now ?

uhh yeah where is this XAP?
i just followed heathcliff74's guide here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334248
I used this right here. ^^^^ It had worked as advertised and was quick and easy. I have internet sharing and it works. Like I said, I tried to deploy the Advanced config tool but now I can't seem to deploy any apps to it. The deployment tool just tells me It can't connect to the device, make sure it is connected to the pc. It is and it is synced with zune so I don't know what the problem would be.

Ok I just checked with few XAP Files and I got a same error for one but not for other.
I tried installing the NokiaMap App which is on the xda forum it failed but the Battery App worked.

I just get the same connection error no matter what app I try to sideload now.

You don't by chance have internet sharing on while you are trying to deploy do you? This possibly could cause problems. I just my XAP on two of my devices and it worked on both and I can still side load other apps including ones I know are interop unlock required like WP7 Root Tools so perhaps there is something wrong with the XAPs themselves.
EDIT: When in doubt when dealing with anything Windows try a reboot of both the PC and the phone.

Voluptuary, I am pretty sure I didn't have it one as I rebooted everthing multiple times but I did turn it on and try to deploy and got the same error message. Then I just turned internet sharing off and redeployed and it loaded, just like that. I am not sure why or how but I got the advanced config tool on my phone now. What I wanted on my phone most was that tool so I can change my theme colors. Now I am smiling. Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

No errors, but no Internet Sharing menu
Hi, so I followed all the instructions and got no errors:
deployed XAP - no errors
loaded up diag tool, and entered codes, selected system tweaks - no errors
although it just sits there and says "loading GPRS Profile for system tweaks"
chose Save and rebooted phone
There is NO Internet Sharing option in the main settings menu..

@voluptuary
Where are the Hotspot entries supposed to go? HKLM/Services/Hotspot or Classes Root/Hotspot?
Are there supposed to be entries with the following names, because my i937 has none of these?
Enabled
MOInfoLink
MOHelpNumber
MaxUsers
Connection
WifiChannel
EntitlementURI
IdleTimeOut

[Q] Application Deployment not working after interopunlock

Having a crazy day. Got the new ChevronWP7 unlock last night. Did the internet sharing interop combo. Now get error trying to reload xap files. Trying to put on accentchanger file.
Error - failed to connect to the device. Ensure that the device is connected..

The xap app is not supported
You have to deploy supported xap only
Ex:
Screen cupturer
Nokia maps
Battery status
Tango, but it is now in marketplace
Some other apps like Native keyboard are not working.
Good luck.

@verynuclear: Not sure what you think you're trying to say, but it's totally possible to use high-privilege apps like Advanced Config (which does custom accent colors, among other things). You just need Interop Unlock, which is easy on LG, possible (via an app) on Samsung, and difficult but not impossible on HTC (I have it on my HD7).
The problem is that after using the Interop-unlock app on his or her Samsung phone, the OP seems to be having trouble with the XAP deployment tools. @jgibo, I suggest you read and then post in the relevant threads for those apps, rather than starting a new thread.

The main reason for asking question is if the deployment tool stopped working for anyone else. After I got Chevron on there I was able to install screen capture, accent changer. Screen capture worked. So I removed accent changer and followed instructions for interop unlock install. Then saw the thread for internet sharing and interop in one. Installed that to phone. Got internet sharing Then tried a few different xap files and couldn't install any. So did that xap mess something up? Guess I will look elsewhere for answers.
This is all they have on MSDN site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be caused by several reasons, including if the device is off. If the device is already connected, sometimes disconnecting and then reconnecting the device may fix the problem. Rebooting the device may also fix this problem

You do have internet sharing OFF right? You can not deploy XAP's with ICS on. I don't mean to be rude but it really does pay to read the whole post when someone gives instructions on how to do something before saying it messed up your whatever.
voluptuary said:
As long as your device is unlocked in some way (Developer/Chevron/Other) you can get internet sharing on your Samsung phone.
1.) First install the WP Dev Tools and unlock your Samsung phone.
2.) Use the Application Deployment tool to send THIS to your phone. You do not need to run it and you can delete it after it has been deployed.
3.) Install the Diagnosis app by typing ##634#
4.) After the Diagnosis app starts type *#9908# and select 'System Tweaks' press 'Save' then 'Close' and RESTART your phone.
5.) Your phone now has internet sharing and as a bonus is interop unlocked!
PS: You need to have a recent firmware on your phone or your diagnosis app and drivers will not be new enough to work.
EDIT: I built the file depoyer app using the tools provided by Heathcliff74 so many thanks to him! Also ADC is built in as well so no need to worry about that and I also upped the max number of connections from 3 to 5 devices.
NOTE: If you have internet sharing turned on (active hotspot) you will not be able to deploy XAP's untill it is turned off. Also, as with any xap, you need to have your screen unlocked to deploy.

Of course if you have ICS off then I'm sorry for this little rant and all I can suggest is restarting your phone and PC and trying again.

ICS is and was off. Found other posts with same message. Currently reinstalling dev tools. I do IT support for a living and hate havinng to do troubleshooting on my own stuff From past experience with computers it is either a coincidence or cause when a new problem occurs. Hence the questions asked. I do remember seeing an odd usb error in system try when I was doing step 4. Did a troubleshoot on my Focus connection but that didn't help. Also tried all usb connections. If the reinstall doesn't work will have to get my htpc out and try on it.

Reinstall didn't work. Since it stopped after running system tweaks I am trying again. Wish the instructions had a note on how long after hitting the save button before it was done. Has the Loading GPRS Profile for System Tweaks on screen. I think I may have hit the close button yesterday while is was still showing Loading. Right now I am not touching phone till I see it go away. Unless you are supposed to hit close right after hitting save.

The settings are applied almost instantly, as soon as it says loaded after you hit save then you can hit close and restart. Another user stated they had to turn ICS on then off again before he could deploy XAPs. Another question, you haven't turned on wired tethering have you? I ask because if you don't set your phone back to Zune sync you also will get the error you are getting.
EDIT: Main question, does Zune see your phone when you plug it in at all? Can you sync media? Cause if you can't you have another issue that is beyond anything my XAP could have done.

That kind of worked. Turned on ICS then back off. Got Advanced Config to install. Now get UnauthorizedAcessException. Click ok and app closes. Go from one issue to another.

Network Sim Unlock i5801

I bought my phone outright not on contract so i figure it should be unlocked but seems it isn't.. If i was to call Telus in Canada here would they give me the unlock code for free or would they charge me???
Edit: Well it actually worked and i just used "This Video" on instructions to do it.. It just left a few things out or at least made it harder to see on the video
1. In order to edit the Credits from 1 to 11, you need to enable a setting. Hit F11 in fiddler or click on "Rules" then "Automatic Breakpoints" and enable "Before Requests" otherwise when you run the samsung app it'll just tell you it doesn't have enough credits.
2. Another thing to remember when doing this is now whenever the "Client" Line pops up in Fiddler your going to need to manually tell the program to progress using these little Yellow and Green buttons.. if you don't the Samsung Unlock app won't do anything and it will seem like it froze.. It hasn't its just waiting for you to tell Fiddler to move to the next step..
3. And one more is to make sure before bothering to unlock to make sure your SIM doesn't have a password on it.. I noticed it causing the network unlock to reset whenever i rebooted.

ffcloud2000 i suggest to remove [Q] and question marks from title cos this works.
i did it today on my SG3 i5800 and i can confirm.
it took a while till i got it right and then i saw some instructions below video posted by some guy:
FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!
The only problem I had is with changing credits from 1 to 11.
This is done as follows:
1. enter user name and password and click [Connect]
2. Switch to Fiddler and select the line having word "client" at the end
3. Click Yellow button to see the text
(NOTE: most people miss clicking the yellow button first, which will open the text for editing)
4. Go to credits and type "11"
5. Click the Green button
6. repeat the steps whenever having line "client"
to clarify:
after you hit [connect] you go to fiddler and find line that has word "client" in it. mark that line and hit YELLOW button on the right side. then you change that credit to 11 and then you hit GREEN button. you ll notice that SRS holds when you hit yellow button and continues after green. also when you change those credits from 1 to 11 you ll notice that on SRS it is also changed to 11. wait a bit and you ll get codes.
i tried those 2 links above and those methods didn't work for me. couldn't find code.

I unlock today two Galaxy i5800, mine and my girlfriend's phone.
The first I take about 1,5h or 2h to understand what I have to do, the second phone take about only 2 minutes
It is really easy, but you need to know what have to do before.
PD: So to unlock insert another SIM with a different company (SIM without PIN code!), when ask for a code insert de NCK code that you read with the software.

I need help with this. Can't go through with it.

What are you having a problem with?

I have Galaxy 3 i5800. Tried following steps in the video from the first post. I get "Invalid procedure call or argument" error in the end, in the SRS program.
I even cannot get enough times(as shown in the video) of that Client2010 line in Fiddler. That guy in video gets that line like 2 times more than me, but in my case it just stops showing, after I've clicked "Run to Completion" on the last client2010 line.
Edit: I will write down here the steps I take and what happens.
---------- Post added at 05:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 AM ----------
I am not able to post links yet but here is a screenshot of my steps:
i.imgur.com/VVwUG.png
And then I get that "Invalid procedure call or argument" error in SRS.

Try running the Programs with Administrator.. I ran into errors also but i'm on Windows 8 so it might have been my issue

I did run everything as administrator.
I have read on SRS website that for SRS to work you have to run it on 32 bit computer. I just installed 32 bit windows and didn't work, everything is the same.

Try using Compatibility mode.. change it to a different version of windows and retest

Just tried. Didn't work.
Tell me, in which state exactly the phone must be when doing this. And which exactly sim card has to be inside? I didn't yet try without a sim card.

I just had mine plugged into my computer like normal like i do to charge it.. You have to remember to change some settings on your phone though and change them back after you finish
Code:
1. Go to Menu - Settings - Applications - Development -> USB Debugging
2. Type *#7284#, select USB > Modem
3. Type *#9090# and click on usb_diag

Did that. Except for *#9090# part because my phone doesn't show usb_diag but I read somewhere that if it doesn't, it doesn't matter
Damn... I'll just buy the code for unlocking xD.. I'll wait few more days, see if it works out somehow

Hey Sacob;58210707,
I have about the same problem as Chrome cant fine the https://www.192.168.1.xxx:8890 (where xxx is my private 3
digit number.)
Have you tried the https://www.192.168.1.xxx:8890 (replace the xxx with your 3 digit numer before the 8890) listed on the page after Activate "FIND" page?
Should be done ONCE, and NOT popping up every time we login to airdroid.
And . . .
Can't connect via USB which would be the BEST of the ways to connect to Airdroid in the first place since we
1. wouldn't be transferring in the net using up battery that WIFI uses on both devices, android and pc.
and
2. Would be charging our phones, which is super biggy plus.
And. . .
When airdroid downloaded its very own new update today, it said that it couldn't install because of parsing something.
Ain't that a hoot?
And. . .
When I went on airdroid.com> signed in> and finally found an Icon called "Widgets" it went to a calendar and NO, (that is absolutely no,) way to get out of the calendar page,
Even frantically tapping the big "" X "" on the lower left of their "calendar" page.
Ctrl with Arrow Back didn't work either cause some web builder thought that key combo should be shut OFF.
So I had to completely log out and log back in, (username and password again,) to go to the page the mean little "Widgets" Icon was located.
So.. . . to sum up . .
The ONLY thing that works on this app, so far, is that I can use ONLY, is the on-board Android "Apps" part on my S3 itself, and NO way to communicate with my pc.
Which by the way was handled greatly with any Android File managers.
Where do we find support?
Thanks for this topic!
