I am running WM 6.1 (Michyprima Full) and I wanted to flash to another ROM, however for some reason my phone will no longer connect to activesync on the desktop (tried two pcs). It can sync just fine via exchange.
Nothing has changed on the mobile device or the desktop; ActiveSync on the mobile device is set to allow connection via USB and activesync on the desktops is set to use USB to sync.
I know the underlying connection is ok because the device will start charging from the USB cable when it is hooked up.
What can I do to fix this situation so I can flash to a new ROM? I do not need to save anything on the device... I have tried soft-resetting.
EDIT: Also when I list USB connected devices on the desktop PC, I see one called "Windows Mobile-based Device"
did you use a ram cleaner
i used a ram cleaner and my device dosent get recognised by pc.let me know if you find a solution.

Have you tied going to Start/Settings/System (or Connections) and running USB to PC? Try unchecking 'Enable enhanced network' then OK back to the start screen and try reconnecting.
If that doesn't work, try a hard reset with the current ROM, and see if that fixes it. If so, you can then flash the new ROM.
If it still doesn't work, I think you can flash using a memory card or the Flash Drive without needing to access the PC.

Have you tried completely uninstalling ActiveSync from your computer, reboot, download and re-install ActiveSync. Its worked for me - sometimes the USB drivers become corrupt.
When I try and hit ok to commit the change of unchecking the advanced network functionality (it was checked before), the device just sits there with the spinning thinking wheel. Doing a soft reset and going back into the usb to pc shows the box still checked.
I will try a hard reset.

I think thats the only answer at present- the inability to change the A/S settings on the device suggest something's got corrupted somewhere
I was able to get it to sync after a hard reset.
However, when I attempted to load Michy's light ROM the device rebooted and sat at "Loading..." with a white screen. The wrapper then said error connection failed.
If I soft reset the device it comes back to the loading... screen; if I hard reset the device, it comes back to the loading screen after the hard reset. How can I fix this?
blast. left the stupid sd card in while i did the first flashing.
Removed SD card, re-hard resetted, then re-ran the ROM updater.
Sometimes its OK, sometimes it isn't- just one of those little mysteries I guess!
Glad its OK now. Michy's Lite ROM is excellent
Solution for deleted active sync notification called replog
YES...you guys definitely ERASED your Active sync NOTIFICATION file called replog. As someone suggested...he ran his CLEANER...then the problem begun.
It is true that Hard Reseting the device will get you back that file, but there is an easy way to do it...I can't find the original article but this file I will post will RE-CREATE that deleted replog notification file that is needed by active sync to work.
So next time you try and clean-up...just make sure you won't delete any file named replog
To use this FIX, just place it on your SD Card and run the file. If you want you can create an icon at Windows>Start Menu>Programs>to whatever folder... that will work too for easy access.
Just a word of caution...DON'T RUN THE FILE MORE THAN ONCE...why? Because it will re-create the file again. Although it won't hurt in any way except eat up internal memory, but you don't want any duplicated file... right?
I got my Samsung Omnia 7 yesterday and have been unable to get Zune to recognise it.
My Windows 7 PC recognises it, the drivers are installed fine. I've read about the issue with the corrupt certificate but no certificate ever gets created.
I've followed the advice on a blog which was to delete the folder at C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\, the folder get's recreated but still Zune fails to see me phone.
Is there anything else I can try? My phone is pre-NoDo status and is telling me there are updates but I can't get it hooked up to Zune to transfer music, update, etc

This may sound a little strange, but I saw several posts where similar problems have been solved this way:
did you try a different usb port?

Yeah, tried all 3 USB ports on my laptop. The phone is picked up in Windows by all of them but still the same in Zune If I plug the phone in then Zune starts so it's detecting the phone but doesn't get any further.
Updated Zune?

I downloaded Zune on Saturday so I thought I had the latest version. I'm going to try the password solution. My account is a domain account so getting it back to using my original password is a bit of a pain because of the password policy on the domain but the net admins are going to let me reset it tomorrow.
My password hasn't changed since I installed Zune but it has changed once since I got this laptop.
OK, so I've had my domain password set back to what it originally was but still no joy. The folder get's created in C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA but no certificate gets created in my personal store.
Is there no way to manually create the cert?
SOLVED: Turns out it was a piece of software called CoSign which is installed on my work laptop which deals with digital signatures. It had taken control of my personal cert store.
Uninstalling it has resolved the issue.
No Need Hard Reset!
Hi all who has this problem.(Even to myself before I did this.)
New fix WITHOUT A HARD RESET LIKE ABOVE SOLUTIONS!
Hope you are looked at this before doing a Hard Reset.
1) Start up diagnostics
OR
Call ##634# (if you dont got the diagnostic "app" in the apps homepage
2) UNPLUG IF YOU HAVE THE PHONE PLUGGED
3) with the Diagnostics Menu, press *#7284#
4) Press an option that is not Zune Sync(E.g. Micro USB or Modem)
DONT KEEP PRESSING THE OPTIONS. PRESS ONCE ON ONE OPTION ONLY AS IT SOMETIMES GETS F-ed Up.
5) Wait for the reboot when prompted
*AFTER REBOOT, REPEAT STEPS 1-3, At Step 4, press Zune Sync again this time, and Wait for REBOOT when prompted again. Tedious, but rewarding.
6) On the Zune software on your Windows, Press Settings at the top Right
7) Press Software in main-menu ---> General in sub-menu
8) UNCHECK "Start the Zune software when I connect a compatible device
9) Hit "Ok", exit Zune
10) CONNECT PHONE TO WINDOWS
11) Connect Phone, not in locked screen(dont know if it affects)
12) Start Zune Software.
BOOM ***** YOUR DONE!
Found solution.
1.
If it is running, close the Zune software and disconnect your phone.
2.
Open Certificate Manager. To do this, clickStart , type certmgr.msc , and press Enter.
3.
ExpandPersonal , and then expand Certificates .
4.
Click the heading for theIssued By column to sort the column, and then look for one or more certificates that is issued to "zune-tuner://windowsphone/...".
5.
Right-click that certificate and then clickDelete . Click Yes .
6.
From theFile menu, click Exit .
7.
Start the Zune software and connect your phone to create a new certificate.

Hello @deathgame09,
Have you singed in to your Gmail account on the device? If so there should be an option to reset the lock code by entering the email's password.
Let me know!

Hi @PulseDroid
my phone have Android OS, v1.6 (Donut) (default) and i don't have that option to sign in in a google acount
Laptop - Dell Inspiron 15 3567, i3 6th gen, 4GB RAM (later upgraded to 8 GB) 1TB HDD (with only one partition, OS C: ), Windows 10 Home Single Language.
Background - I was using my laptop 4 days ago to read my notes for my upcoming exams. The built-in keyboard started behaving weirdly all of a sudden. Apparently, all the other keys on the keyboard somehow got attached to the Enter key. As soon as I pressed a key it shifted me to a new line with the simultaneous press of the Enter key. It made it so difficult to even type my password that I decided to detach it from the back. This mishap has been faced by my keyboard previously as well. But back then only a specific set of keys stopped working or they combined with each other. This time though, the entire keyboard got attached to my Enter key, even the NumPad on the right side. This problem almost always gets fixed when I perform a system restore, which I've set up a trigger for in my laptop that makes automatic restore points every Wednesday [Task Scheduler]. The keyboard thing happened on 25th Sep and luckily, I had a restore point from 3 days back i.e. 22nd Sep. So as always, I did the system restore, waited for an hour+, and the system restore was done. The laptop opened up and displayed the message, "System has been successfully restored to Sep 22 2021. Your files and documents were not affected". Now my laptop lags a lot after a system restore so I quickly did a hard reboot and that's when it happened. When the laptop initiated booting it got stuck in the Bitlocker Auto Recovery Loop. It asked me to type in the Bitlocker Recovery Key which I am dead sure, I never set up by myself. I rebooted it quite a lot of times but to no avail, which made sure that something had gone wrong. Since then I have attempted quite a lot of fixes for it, despite knowing the fact that Bitlocker is prolly one of the most secure and powerful drive encryption systems in the world. The fixes have yielded me no good but have provided me with quite a lot of info about the issue.
Fixes I have already tried/didn't work -
1. I have tried looking up my Microsoft account for any Bitlocker keys as suggested by a few on the web. The Bitlocker section in my account shows the message, "There are no Bitlocker Keys uploaded to your Microsoft account.".
2. I have tried various cmd commands in the Command Prompt interface the Recovery Advanced Options provide. I found these commands from different sources on the web but none of them did any good to my situation or even helped me out with something in that relation. Here are some commands that I tried-
Code:
bcdedit /set {default} safeboot minimal
bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
bcdedit /set {default} safebootalternateshell yes
Code:
manage-bde -off C:
manage-bde -protectors -get C:
manage-bde -unlock C: -pw
Code:
BOOTREC /FIXMBR
BOOTREC /FIXBOOT
BOOTREC /RebuildBcd
There were a lot more commands I tried but these are some I remember.
3. I have tried making a bootable USB drive with the Hiren's Boot CD/DVD PE. As soon as the laptop powers on, I spam the F12 key which takes me to the Boot Menu. From there I select my USB drive as the booting device and it loads me into the HBCD environment as expected. But since the environment is working in the system itself, it does not have access to anything that the system contains. So all the above mentioned commands don't work in the same as well.
4. I have tried using the WinImage tool in the HBCD environment to at least create an image of my original drive into an external 1TB drive that I own. But again, since HBCD lacks system access, it does not let me install any third party softwares into it.
Fixes I have researched/am willing to try/have given thoughts to -
1. I was suggested by some Microsoft chat support agents, the use of a bootable installation media USB drive to install a temporary copy of Windows. This, according to them, won't get my files deleted and would be helpful. However during my researches of the same, I found out that there is quite a good chance of data loss from my PC which, in any case whatsoever, I don't want.
2. I have thought of physically removing the original affected drive, using it with another computer and then making an image out of it. Now this image can be used for any Bitlocker cracking purposes by any agency that would be willing to do so. The only concern I have is that the original data shouldn't be lost, instead an image could be used for all purposes related to the cracking of the Bitlocker. I am not sure if this is gonna work though.
I need help, urgent help!
Please contact me in my pm here if anyone has knowledge about cracking bitlockers and is willing to help me out.
Use another PC to access the data, copy.
Stop screwing around before you lose the data!
Reload the OS... possible malware or hardware failure.
Always redundantly backup critical data to at least 2 hdds that are physically or electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
Do this or you will lose data, sooner or latter.
You can never have too many backup drives....
Use Acronis to make a clone copy of the OS disk after configured but before loading antivirus or crapware. Learn how to do this.
Whenever possible use a separate data drive ie a dual drive setup. All critical data goes on data drive. Only the OS and apps go on the OS drive.
You see why now...

@blackhawk I'm sorry but I don't quite get what you mean by reloading the OS. As I mentioned, I had only one drive partition which was C:. It had my Windows and all my files and data. Since I have been locked out of that, I can't even get into the computer's OS. As soon as the laptop boots up it displays the message, "Preparing to Recover". It then asks me for the Bitlocker key, which, since I don't have it, I am not able to input. The only option it gives me next is to skip the drive. It then shows the message, "Diagnosing for problems" and then brings me back to the recovery options. There is nothing I can do in those recovery advanced options.

I mean reload from scratch.
You should have made a clone image when you first got it if you don't have a installable Windows OS image. I normally upgrade from the hdd the laptop comes with to a better one. I then clobe the old hdd image to the new one. The old hdd is my backup.
First things first, before your critical data gets corrupted, overwritten, whatever... copy it off that disk!
Windows crash and burn, it a traditional
Be ready for it next time.

Serious Windows OS user always at least have these 2 drives /partitions:

D: -> User data incl. user installed apps
Keep this in mind when it comes to re-install Windows OS.

I don't know what you mean by a serious Windows OS user, but when I boot up into the HBCD environment, I do see some extra drives such as a D: drive, an E: drive called IMAGE and an F: drive called Dell. Could this be related?

Yes... completely.
You should zero fill at least the boot sector before a reload.
That's one reason why you use a data drive(s) and always redundantly backup critical data.

Are you saying the data is encrypted and that you lost the encryption key?
If so you got gigantic problems.
No encryption key means no chance of access.
Stop messing with it and find a certified MS tech to try to repair the load.

When you boot into Hiren ( what simply is a rudimentary Windows 10 OS bloated with tons of tools ) then the Windows computer is mapped as drive X:. All other drives you might see are partitions the Windows PE is divided into.

My laptop had only one partition, the OS C:. which ran the windows and had all my files. When I rebooted after that system restore, the C: drive itself got locked and the system asked me for its Bitlocker Recovery Key. Now if I never setup the bitlocker myself, why would I have the recovery key on me? Theoretically, while setting up a bitlocker manually, there is an option to "Backup Bitlocker Keys" which, upon clicking, uploads the recovery key to your Microsoft account as well as gives you a notepad file of the same. But before this happening I had absolutely no knowledge of the Bitlocker's mere existence! So if the system set it up itself, shouldn't it have uploaded the bitlocker keys to my account itself too? In my knowledge, I had not even received the slightest of warnings related to bitlocker mishaps in the past. That's what makes this experience feel like hell.

That sounds just about right, cause when the PC was "alive" and usable, I never saw any other partitions other than the C: drive itself. It surprised me too to see 5 other drive partitions accompanying the C: in the HBCD environment, but I guess all those were useless. I am not sure though; could they be holding some important data?
Also, just my own thought but, could there be any way to brute force the bitlocker recovery key? I mean its a heck lot of combinations but, is it even possible? I do have access to some info that might help in reducing the number of combinations greatly and make the work easier, but I just want to confirm if started, it would bring out some result.

That article is probably what everyone suggests when mentioned the term Bitlocker Recovery. I have of course read it thoroughly and found nothing of relevance to my case. The key is not in my Microsoft account as I stated before. I have not printed out a single sheet of paper in the past 2 years. I have checked every single USB drive I have at home for even the slightest mentions of a recovery key. I don't have an Azure account. And lastly, I am the only administrator if that system, there are no other users attached to my laptop. Would you be having any other suggestions?

Do you have a MS account? You may have inadvertently setup bitlocker when you opened that account. If so you might be able to retrieve through your MS account.
I turn off system restore because it slows the machine down and it has failed me more than once. My clone copies have not.
Keep the OS and data on different drives whenever possible. I set up my Androids like this too; the SD card is the data drive.
Learn and come back stronger.
@Chinmay47
My final post here:
Whether Bitlocker is enabled or not is steared by an entry in Windows' registry
Subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\BitLocker
Value: PreventDeviceEncryption equal to True (1|0)
Type: REG_DWORD
Hence try to reset this registry setting to 1
You may use HIREN to achieve this.
There's no way to access the registry on a locked encrypted volume...
