Any of you guys managed to get this to work? Plugged my wizard and picked up as Generic RNDIS, i browsed to the activesync4.1 directory on my xp drive and used the RNDIS driver from there, as windows couldnt see any other, it installed fine, however i get nothing when i plug the wizard in, Windows Mobile Device Center dont pop up. Any ideas guys??
Hi,
Yes I have it working with both USB / BT :=)
Try this procedure.
1. Download this file.
http://www.download.windowsupdate.c..._847432eec73e750d6d8056881f52a39fbc94587a.exe
2. Extract it using winrar.This will give you a file "wmupdate.msi"
3. Now be sure to logon to Vista as the built in admin and run "wmupdate.msi" and after that reboot and again login as built in admin, let it complete the install.
4.Login as your regular user, connect you phone and all should work:=)

Hi,
I'm running 5472 as well, but the update (from the file name) looks like it's mean for build 5460. Are you sure this is compatible with 5472? I just wanna make sure because I had just reinstalled my OS and don't want to go through the trouble of breaking it Of course, there's always system restore, but it can be a PITA for me sometimes.
tried it but dont seem to work, setup starts then vista picks up a new device, out of interest what does your wizard show up as in device manager? It couldnt auto find a driver, so i browsed to activesync dir and there was loads of MS drivers, also HTC drivers, i tried to choose HTC pocket pc but didnt work, its obviously not the Wizard drive its after as the wizard wasnt even plugged in.

Oh yeah, now I remember... 5472 was being a real pain with my MDA. I can't remember what I did exactly to fix the driver issue, but I believe I just pointed it to the root directory of the CD that came with the phone when it prompted for drivers. Just be persistent with it, and it should finally install
BTW, the file provided above works! It does install an older build of WMDC, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. The build provided with 5472 only works if you choose "quick connect", instead of establishing a partnership.

I had the Start CD that came with the device put in and it found the drivers needed from that auto.
And sure enough the provided file is for an older build but for me at least it does work.
And it shows up as "your username Windows Mobile-based device" in WIndows Explorer..see attached snapshot"

Oh I just looked at my initial reply and one thing I forgot to mention
I had to run the wmupdate.msi i file from a command prompt, and that also had to be started with administrator priviliges.

hello!
i just installed a fresh new copy of Windows Vista x86 Build 5600 and I've realized that Windows Mobile Device Center isn't installed.
I've searched and at Microsoft I've downloaded a file: drvupdate-x86.msi which appears on Control Panel as Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update!
Well, It's not the program, is it??? I instalde Driver Update but I don't seem to install the Program at all!
I've searched on XDA and I've found some tips, which I've tried with no result!
Add Key to registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft named WHOS. it's supposed when I plug USB cable to PC and Universal, appear on Windows upgrade saying there is a new upgrade available. Doesnt appear!
I've seen a topic saying:
"...Yes I have it working with both USB / BT :=)

Downloaded the file and done all right but I dont seam to make it work!
I've ONCE installed WMDC with no errors but the device appeared "NOT CONNECTED".
Now, after a NEW fresh instalation, I cant even install WMDc!
Please help!
I would like to keep vista installed, but without sync there's no way!!!!

Thank you for your inquiry
I see how this can be frustrating, especially since you've had to reinstall Activesync on your computer time and time again. The drivers for this device are actually a part of the Activesync installation.
There are a few things that we can do to resolve this issue. What I would recommend is first on the handheld go to Start, from there select Programs, from there select the Activesync application. Once the application is opened go to Menu, then select Options. Once the Options screen opens up you should see any pre-existing Activesync connections. Please select any connections that you see and delete them.
Once that has been completed on your handheld please go to Start, then select Programs, from there select Accessories. From the following set of options select USB to PC. Once this is open if you see that Serial is selected please change it to RNDIS. If you see that RNDIS is selected please change it to Serial.
After this has been done we will need to uninstall the Activesync software one final time. One thing to note is after uninstalling the software you would also need to delete the associated folders. This can be done by going to the My Computer icon on your desktop, from there you would select Local Drive C:, then select the Programs Files folder. Once this folder is open look for a folder that reads Microsoft Activesync. Once your located it please delete it. Also empty it from your Recycling Bin.
Once you've done that please download and install Activesync 4.5. This can be downloaded by going to www.pocketpc.com. From this site please type in Activesync 4.5 in the search windows on the top right hand side of the page. The first search result should be the download.
After you have installed this software on your computer you should be fine.
Also remember to check www.htcwiki.com for troubleshooting information in the future when having issues in the future.
I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions.

Am I really the only one with this problem?
Running Faria's Real thing
Would change back to wm5 but I have no ActiveSync connection
Anyone?
The new 6800 uses Remote NDIS aka RNDIS which means you are no longer able to connect your phone and use it as a modem as you previously were(even though wmmodem.exe is still part of WM6). To use your data connection from the phone in XP it was thought you had to have ActiveSync at least installed. I was able to find a way around this. It takes about 1 minute.
When installing ActiveSync 4.5 it installs Windows XP Hotfix KB909394. This hotfix implements the rndis framework and support drivers. It's not available anywhere as a standalone download nor is it even mentioned on Microsoft's KB. I have successfully stripped this out of the executable after fighting with it for awhile.
Code:
1) Run update\update.exe (You do not need to restart, you can safely check the "Do not restart" box.
2) Start Internet Sharing on your phone, plug it in.
3) If prompted for drivers point it to the folders you extracted rndis_as45_drivers.zip to.
That's it. Below i've hosted the two files for the timebeing..
Download - Windows XP Hotfix kb909394
Download - ActiveSync RNDIS drivers
Note: From the signs I have gotten from installation logs it appears this hotfix will be included in SP3.
was struggling yesterday to connect mytouch to the desktop on windows XP. The phone connected to the moment, the drive showed up and when immediately disconnected.
I found this very helpful post on androidforums by pdl1 which I think needs to be posted in FAQ:
To connect an Android phone to a Windows PC, usually there are two steps:
1. Uninstall current Android USB drivers
2. Install new correct Android drivers
You accomplish 1 by downloading USBDeview to your PC here is the URL USBDeview - View all installed/connected USB devices on your system
Then unzip it and run USBDeview. Right click on each Android driver and delete it. Or you can remove traces of previous drives by removing all keys in registry using "Edit->Find and type in “vid_0bb4″ (no quotes)".
You accomplish 2 by going here Android 1.6 SDK, Release 1 | Android Developers
and downloading the whole Android SDK (software development kit) onto your PC. Extract it to a folder so you can look inside and find a sub-folder called usb_driver. Either move it somewhere easy or take careful note of it's exact location.
Now go to your Android phone. Open Settings. Touch Applicatons. Touch Development. Tap USB debugging to enable it. Then back out to the home page.
Connect your phone to the PC via the appropriate USB cord. Windows will open its New Hardware Wizard. Check that you will tell Windows where to find the files, and Browse to the location of the usb-driver folder. OK will ungrey and if you click it, the correct drivers will, at last, be loaded.
Almost finished. Now disconnect the phone, and repeat going to Settings>Applications>Development. Tap the debugger again to disable it. Back out to the Home Screen. Now connect your phone to the PC. It will be recognized, but in order to see and manipulate the SD card files, there's one more step. Pull down the little white bar at the top of the Android Phone screen. You will see a Notification "USB connected". Tap it and you will be given an option to Mount the phone. Touch Mount.
Now the any File Manager (Windows Explorer, etc.) will see your phone SD card as a separate drive. You can copy, move delete, whatever.
Quite a process, but once done, all you will have to do is connect the phone to the PC and pull down and Mount it.
Sorry if it was discussed already - I searched but could not find similar thread here
