First of all, I had some minor problems getting Activesync to recognize my 8525. (XP, Net 2.0). After a couple of driver updates or whatever, it finally worked!
I tried flashing to a different ROM but had problems during the HardSPL procedure. I stopped it, but THEN had some problems trying to connect my 8525 to the PC!! (Activesync again, ugh!) I uninstalled & re-installed Activesync like 3 times, and FINALLY got it to work again!
Now I have problems installing .CAB files to my 8525. I keep on getting the warning:
"The program is from an unknown publisher. You should install it only...."
I press "YES" and it comes as "unsuccessful".
I press "NO" and I get the "... program cannot be installed because it is not digitally signed with a trusted certificate".
Besides having installation problems, I also noticed that Activesync keeps on disappearing/uninstalling from my PC. I have to install Activesync 4.5 every time I turn on the PC.
Can some one tell me what's going on? What should I do? Should I do a "HARD RESET"? (I have done a SOFT RESET but to no avail). I would appreciate some help. Thanks!
I found out that I shouldn't do a HARD RESET because it will erase the "unlocked" feature in my phone. (I bought the phone unlocked).
I have researched the wiki, and some threads, and ACTUALLY someone else had this problem, way back in 2006. (The .CAB problem). But no one responded.
I also had to uninstall a program I had previously installed in my 8525 due to the fact that it stopped responding. It just wouldn't work anymore. I got the same "unsigned certificate" message.
I guess I'm going to RE-INSTALL Activesync ALLL over again. Maybe it will help it or something...
(This is literally going to be like the 5th time I install Activesync. And I just got the 8525).
IF ANYBODY CAN HELP ME WITH THE .CAB PROBLEM I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
(I'm running WM6 Pro, AT&T)
freakin piece of crap!
its STILL NOT WORKING!!!!!
It USED TO WORK! I used to be able to install .CAB files. I have only installed 2 .cab files into internal memory (NO external. dont have one yet). I installed Opera Mini, and Wifi Radar. I also installed a couple of themes. I also installed animated themes but deleted them since they wouldn't work. (I think they required some other stuff). I also deleted all the themes except for one.
THEN one day, i tried doing that HardSPL-V7, and I got to the last step but quit since I got an error telling me that if I continue the (usb?)device could stop working.
Another time I tried installing SPB Finance 2.8 .CAB and that's when I noticed it would no longer install .CAB files. (It also won't install directly using .exe)
I researched Google and the forums, and found out a guy that had the same problem (no one responded).
Today I noticed that Pocket Wifi Radar wouldn't run. It said something about the certificates. I uninstalled it, tried to install it again, but it wasn't successful.
So far this has been the history of my 8525. Could it be because the "certificates" were installed in the ORIGINAL computer profile? Since I have installed Activesync many times, I noticed every time it creates a new profile. For example, the first time it was called "Windows PC". Then it was called "Windows PC2". Just right now I installed it again, and it was going to be named "Windows PC3", but I changed the name to something else, and of course it still didn't work.
Could ANYBODY give me some tips as to what I should do? Thank you.
go to settings>connections>usb to pc. uncheck "enable advanced network functionality".
if it syncs a few times with no problems run unlocker tool found in upgrades section. then hard spl then if you feel game enough upgrade os with one of your choice.
Hope this helps... cheers
holy cow, relax guy. you are not the only person to ever get the not digitally signed message.

as for the hardspl problem, i responded to that thread you created, didnt you see?
Ok, I tried what you mentioned ultra, and I got this message upon connecting the 8525 to the PC. (BTW, this is the SAME message that appeared when I was attempting to install HardSPL-V7),
HTC USB Sync
has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatability with
Windows XP.
Continuing your installation of this software may impair or disabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
I pressed "Continue" and it installed HTC USB Sync. But then I got the a message telling me "Activesync 4.5 or greater needs to be installed" (even though it IS installed). I ran through the setup again, and it would only let me "repair" or "uninstall". I pressed "repair". Afterwards it asked me to "restart". I did. Then upon loading back up, I connected the 8525 to the PC again, and I got the SAME message again (the one about it not passing Windows Logo). This time I pressed "STOP" and then I got the message about HTC USB Sync not being installed in the computer.
I have been fed up with the problems the 8525 has been giving me. My Clie UX was so much easier to manage. Quick question, I am REALLY leaning on doing a HARD RESET, but I think/kinda know, that if I do, it will ERASE WM6 correct? And go back to WM5?
Oh and yes xtreme, I have searched this on the search bar. And yes, I know you replied back, but you were referring to the Hard SPL. I am having problems w/ installing .CAB files.

dont hit stop dude, u're suppose to hit continue. hitting stop prevents the drivers from being installed and then the RUU wont run
Well I did press "Continue" the first time and I did not see any improvements. I just saw that it installed "HTC USB Sync".
I AM able to successfully install Activesync, I just can't get .CAB files to install.
Could it be because I pressed "STOP" whenever I tried using HardSPL? Should I try and run HardSPL AGAIN and this time pressing "Continue"?
Oh, and are you sure I'm supposed to press "Continue"? After all, I do get that error about Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation. It sounds fishy pressing "Continue".
I just installed Activesync ALLLL over again, but this time in the D:/ drive... still the same .CAB problem.
Oh, and I no longer have the problem where Activesync would uninstall by itself. I noticed it fixed itself yesterday.
BUT I'm still having problems installing .CAB files.
1). hard reset will reset it back to factory its true BUT, and like j-lo's this is a big but, it will re install the last os on the phone (wm6) NOT the stock rom...
2). are you installing the .cab files from the computer or copying them to the memory card and installing from there?
If you install the .cab from the memory card it seems to work fairly well (at least from my experience). if its in a .exe format then it runs from the computer and requires activesync. if you have the .cab file then my suggestion is try to run it from the memory card.. Cheers..
Try installing the SDK certificates and see if that helps
Finally Works!!!!! Hard Reset!
OK, so I've been up for about 3hrs straight trying to figure this out. Reinstalled/uninstalled activesync... tried installing HardSPL again (twice)... didn't work. So I was like, you know what...f* it. I'm going to do a Hard Reset. I'm just gonna try it.
IT WORKED!!!! AND IT STILL STAYED IN WM6!!!! And I think it's still unlocked (although I've read from threads that a HR will disable the unlocked feature).
I AM GLAAAAD THAT I CAN INSTALL FILES NOW!!!! YAY!! (hehe). THANKS TO THOSE WHO TRIED TO HELP!!! SERIOUSLY. It feels really bad when no one tries to help you, even though you don't have a CLUE as to what to do.
** I solemnly swear I will no longer try to use HardSPL or try flashing to a different ROM*. I will use the ROM that came with the phone, and be glad everything is WORKING **
*= at least for until a couple of more months
AND for those who are having this problem (and it's a lot of ppl, based from search results), try a HARD RESET. It helped me anyways.
"and like j-lo's this is a big but"
Glad it worked but I wouldnt allow one bad experiance to turn you off flashing... If I were you I'd still flash hard spl ( in case you find something that you really like). It DOES make it easier to fix "bricks". But just to satisfy your curiosity, go to bootloader and see if it says that you have 2.10 or 2.30 SPL. Also if you want to try flashing, try the sd card method. Its a heap safer (from my experience) than flashing by activesync. Check the wiki for how to do it.
PS. you dot need to reformat the sd card. if you have all the stuff you want on it then just copy the .nbh to the root of the sd card and rename to "hermimg.nbh", it will load as soon as the hermes is put into bootloader and you wont have to re-install anything. Works every time for me and I've done it about 30 or 40 times...Cheers......

i think his problem is that he can't install .cab files period. he's having the same problem as me. my first phone had that prob, i updated .net 2.0 and it was fine. got my second phone here, update .net to 3.5, but still can't transfer/execute ANY cab files to my phone. the pc just doesn't recognize the phone period. i can't copy/paste, can't push anything through onto my phone. it's crazy. so what else can we do? i'd like to think i'm pretty tech savvy, but this isn't cool LOL
Hello,
now I cannot execute a 'not signed' .exe from my diamond, because of the 'not signed' error message.
I tried to see the first steps of the android port on the diamond touch. I had to remove the battery to stop the application. Since, it's not possible for me to execute any non-signed application (total commander, putty, ...).
Did you find a clean solution? I prefer not to go through the steps of reinstalling a new firmware (windows isn't accessible on my computer & I have a rather old backup of my diamond's files).
I allready have a hardspl, because my orginal ROM is from SFR (french operator)... and I prefer the original HTC version which is more beautiful & more uptodate.

Trying the same thing for my Diamond after trying out Android on it.
Same problem here. Running android 1.0 got me into this trouble.
(Running android 0.8 multiple times did not cause this problem.)
Did anybody find a better solution than hard reset?
Re
Same problem here cant run .cab files after trying run Android 0.8.
Damn , dunno why i tried to run Android 0.8
I can't connect my hd2 to active sync, I get a message "Unable to connect..." yet another thread...I have tried everything, hard formated the phone, reinstalled windows xp, unchecked the "enable faster data sync", reinstalled active sync...nothing works....
Reading advicese all over the net have not helped me unfortunately. I don't know what to do anymore.
The problem is present after upgrading to stock rom 4,66 WWW East Europe. I am not sure if it the ROM to blame because I did one syncronization after installing the rom and it went well, but I don't know what could have happened not to be able to sync anymore.
I have installed these apps on device memory - bsb, cookie home tab and editor, easy expenses, resco explorer, resco photo manager, sms backup, spb time; on the storage card I have Core player, shazam, spb backup, spb wireless monitor, web video downloader.
I had all these apps on the 1,43 rom too with no problems, the only difference is I have installed them all to storage card on the 1,43 rom. Could this be a problem.
Could bsb tweaks give me problems? Any advice pleas, I do not know what to do anymore. It's not that I bother about synchronization with outlook, but I am not able to install hspl nor other roms anymore. Is it possible to install hspl and rom without activesync or is ther another sync program that do the sam job?
Thak you for advices.
u can instal rom from sd card, just check the stickies in rom development thread.
Try to go to bootloader and then connect your phone to pc, if it says usb on the screen, u can flash a rom. I would try to reflash the stock roms, either 1.48 or the new 1.66.
Btw, just a quick question, does the battery recharge when u connect to pc? It also could be damaged microUSB.
Anyway these are tha steps u should try:
1. try to flash a stock rom via bootloader
2. if that is not possible, flash a rom via sd card
a you tried delet hd2 from Active sync File list and sync it like new.
The battery charges when plugged in, the phone works in disk drive mode but not in active sync mode.
I think I have nothing to delete from active sync file list because active sync is freshly installed and I haven't managed to connect my hd2 not once in a number of attempts.
How to flash a stock rom via bootloader, can I do it if I can't connect the phone via active sync? Is it via sd card or?
no that are two different ways, just try to flash stock rom via sd card, u can find the steps in the stickies ine the rom development forum.
I used to have the same kind of problem; if you uninstall ActiveSync make sure you delete the folder on your pc as well. Then reinstall and it may work again. I don't think the phone is the problem.
I've got a slightly different problem: ActiveSync works fine but when I try to flash a ROM or install HSPL I get the same message as you do.
I blame
1) another device(driver) on USB.
2) my firewall / security software (ESET)
Tried for weeks now to come up with a solution to no avail. Even installed Sun VirtualBox but no success.
So this won't help you sorry. Only thing to add is you can flash radio and ROM via SD card, but you can't perform task 29 (mtty) or install HSPL that way.
It was not a pc problem but a phone problem, I have hard reset it once more and it has synchronized. The first time after hard reset I have restored pim backup file, seems there was something else apart pim...the second time after hard reset I have plugged the cable and it worked.
Now I have installed all the apps I had before and it syncronizes, but I installed all the apps on the sd card, apart the apps that has to be installed in phone memory, such as net framework. The only one I didn't install again is the DJCLeo WM6.5 Taskbar v4b bluewhite winlogo because on the 1,66 rom it has a bug of not displaying the volume icon and you have to change some registry records, could this be the cause...I don't know.
I am planning to upgade to Artemis rom soon and hope not to have such problems...by the way, if I instal hspl2, then Artmis rom, then install stock spl via hspl2, it does not affect my warranty?
Posting this so maybe other people can profit from my experiences.
The last couple of days I've been strugling to get my HD2 synchronized again with Outlook on PC after flashing a new ROM. Never had problems getting Active Sync running after flashing.
Just so you know......I'm not a noob, I've flashed new ROMs many times, and YES, I also do a Task 29 before flashing.
Anyway, after flashing the latest Energy ROM, I tried to connect to the PC again, but WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center) just showed a big red cross with a nice comment that said: ERROR. I could see the HD2 in My Computer, could access both the Device and the Storage Card, but I was not able to set up a Partnership to be able to Sync my Contacts and Calendar.
I started troubleshooting, looking in the Windows Eventlog, Googling for Active Sync / WMDC errors, and tried all things below to get it to work again:
- disable Fast Data Sync in ActiveSync on the HD2
- deleted the Windows Mobile Network Adapter and the HTC Leo devices from Device Manager, and let them install again
- uninstalled and re-installed WMDC
- Soft Reset of the HD2
- Hard Reset of the HD2
- Did a System Restore in Vista to a point BEFORE flashing the ROM
- Flashed to other versions of the Energy ROM (including the one that was on the HD2 when it Synched without problem)
Nothing worked, so I was really getting desperate because I need my Contacts and Appointments
I then dug up my old HTC Wizard which connected without a problem
So, it had to be something in my HD2, it couldn't be the ROM because the same ROM worked before.
I didn't sleep very well last night, constantly thinking about this problem
Then this morning it suddenly hit me........
I've been using XDA-UC on the Energy ROM, but I realised that since the last time I flashed a new ROM, I had included an XML file to setup my GMail Sync via Exchange (created by Makisu).
I deleted the XML file from XDA-UC, did a Hard Reset, connected to my PC and YES !!!!!!!!
I have now established my Partnership and synched my Contacts and Calendar succesfully.
I also manually added My Exchange settings for GMail and that's working too.
Maybe it's time to start using Change Management for my HD2 so I won't have problems like this in the future
Anyway, hope this may be of help for other people that have Activesync issues.
