Did the WM5 install, worked flawlessly, however, activesync 4 will not communicate with my c500. It wont detect it atall.
Look at device manager in your pc with the phone connected. If you find there a strange device, delete it. Then unplug your phone, wait a couple of seconds and plug it again. Your pc will detect it again and choose the correct driver.
Hi,
Previously I was running Black 3.0 and was synching with Vista and had no problems.
I recently updated the ROM to Black Satin and now I cannot sync.
When I connect the device to my computer it initially recognises it and gives an option to create a partnership but then it disappears and it says that no device is connected.
Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong or of ways of fixing it?
Thanks.
Also..
I have followed the guide here http://www.mrvanx.org/hermes_guide/vista/index.html for vista and I get an error installing the drivers (error attached).
I have also turned off advanced usb networking..

First, be sure you're running the latest WMDC 6.1. Then reboot both the computer and the device. If that doesn't fix it, click on Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC and check or uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality".
Then... report back.
yup I have done all that
Rebooted about 20 times (pc+device) even tried reflashing different roms but still no go!
Have unchecked advanced networking..
Make sure you have the right driver from VistaRUU.zip floating around. I did these exact steps last night and am also running Black Satin. I don't have a problem. Be sure to re-check the box that says allow USB connections.
Good luck. Try going over all the steps in case you might have missed something.
Spathi, in your case, you may just need to re-download the Hermes USB drivers.
P.S. I did also update my SPL to HardSPL2.0
I have tried installing the drivers numerous times.
I have tried the drivers from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33892&d=1170385335 and here

I am on 64bit Vista and have downloaded the 64bit drivers and turned off driver signing..
My phone has SPL 2.10lipro which I believe is the latest?

i had the same problem a little while ago. search my user name for posts and you'll find the thread. but the solution was... uninstall wmdc reboot, and download and reinstall. works like a charm.
I HAD the same problem.
OK.. I had the same problems, troubleshooting with MS for $35.00 didn't solve it. The one thing that did solve it is kind of ridiculous and easy.. So here's the solution..
It turns out Vista has issues with detecting USB drivers on certain types of chipsets. It looks like the USB ports are correctly installed, but it just doesn't like the devices (like Smartphones) connected to it.
I solved the problem by buying a USB card with a VIA chipset. It's amazing how well it works now. Of course, I discover this AFTER a reinstall of Vista and everything else.. Duh! Ugh!
Hope this helps other people feel less pain.

I have tried the uninstall/reinstall thing before (just tried it again) no luck there.
I just tried another usb card and that didnt work either.
Only thing I haven't tried is reinstalling windows...
mine is more weird
upgraded from wmdc 6.0 to 6.1.6965 now when it bootloader, wmdc doesn't even connect at all. even return to wmdc 6.0 doesn't solve the problem
There are a couple of things with Vista..
I figured out these few little nuggets during my travels..
1. Make sure you have all the newest updates. (MS apparently knows of this problem as they have released a patch to resolve some USB issues)
2. The external USB Card you try has to have the VIA USB Drivers.
3. Update your bios to something newer (also a big problem)
4. Turn on Legacy Support for USB (important too)
5. Disable your ACPI if you're having troubles.
6. Have you tried connecting the device directly to the MOBO USB Ports?
I can't stress this enough.. the VIA USB Chipset seems to work so if you try an external card, make sure it has a VIA chipset on it. They're completely different than the standard Vista USB Drivers.
For those that are having problems - check on your desktop system in the device manager to see if you have the "Microsoft Remote Mobile Adapter" installed as a network card. If you do, uninstall it. This driver gets in the way of the WMDC 6.1 connection with USB.
It apparently gets loaded if you attach your device while having "advanced networking" enabled in the PC->USB setup on the device. Once you've done that, you're stuck. Turning off the "advanced networking" on the device won't help, because that remote driver is already loaded. You need to disconnect your device, unstall that driver, be sure "advanced networking" is turned off, and then connect your device again. I've had this happen a couple of times to me after re-flashing the ROMs.

I've been searching a lot about this and just can't figure it out... I can sync my tytn (8525 as I call it) with windows media player, but can't do it with "windows mobile device center". Actually, everytime I click on wmdc, it opens up the "Change Connections SEttings" where it says "Device Connected" up top but then I click on ok and apparently nothing happens...
I am having trouble getting my Wizard to communicate with a computer running Windows XP and ActiveSync 4.5. It's been awhile since I've synced it to an XP machine, as the one I primarily use is Vista, and it seems to work fine. When I plug it in it either sees it as an internet connection, or if I disable the advanced connection settings on my device it seems to install it correctly, but then it doesn't open up ActiveSync.
I'm running a custom WM6 rom that I installed about a year ago, and was looking to upgrade, which I hear XP is the most reliable for. Any idea what the problem could be? I also don't seem to be able to open Activesync by itself when the device is not installed, could it be a problem with the program itself on my XP machine?
yes
It must be the problem on the xp machine unisntall the activesync reset your pc... reinstall it and then i suggest you... if you will upgrade make a hardreset before plug your device to sync.
Well, that got ActiveSync working again on the PC, the icon showed up on the bar and I was able to open the program. But as soon as I plugged in my device, the program closed again, and now it won't open. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling again, but I got the same result. Any other suggestions?
I've had my Hima for some time and it has been left in my drawer uncharged. Having got it out and charged it up, it all seems to work except I can't connect it to my PC. Before it was left uncharged, it connected fine so I have no reason to thing the cable is u/s.
I have tried connecting it to my PC running Vista and XP, and also to my laptop running XP. My Uni and my Wallaby both connect fine, so I know it's not activesync/media centre causing issues.
I've tried formating storage ->
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES
and have also tried playing with the KITL settings. Within KITL settings, If I select the USB and passive, the device resets, if I select active, nothing seems to happen except the device locks and I need to soft reset it again.
I've tried running mtty but it doesn't recognise that it is connected to the PC.
When in bootloader mode, the screen changes from SERIAL to USB when the cable is plugged in and it charges fine through the USB cable.
I have a 'simple' USB cable to the PC and I also have a cradle - neither allow the XDA II to connect to the PC. The PC recognises it as an unknown device but I can't get any further.
What else can I try?
Forgot to add, I'm running C Shekhar's WM6.1 - Win Mob 6.1 CE OS 5.2.19199, ROM 6.1.1b16CS, date 02/22/08
Hi I'm getting the USB Not Recognized / Malfunctioned error messages in Win7 Ultimate. My phone used to connect to my PC flawlessly.
I'm using the stock USB cable that came with the phone, I've tried for weeks now to get it to sync. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling WMDC, edited the permissions for some registry key related to it, I've even tried syncing with bluetooth. It will not work on any Win7 PC (I haven't got the opportunity to try any other OS's). Also it's not just the syncing issues, it wont even show up as a storage device in Windows Explorer.
I've exhausted all options, I've tried 2 usb cables (one from a car charger and the original one), I've tried changing connection mode from Activesync (enhanced on and off), Disk Drive and even Internet Sharing.
The only way the USB has worked is in bootloader was today during bootloader and in magldr 1.12 (USB Flasher and USB Mass Storage), at first I flashed a newer Energy GTX ROM and then WP7.
Zune does not detect the phone nor does Phone Developer Tools.
Please help, I need to get it working again!!
Thankyou.
