Hi,
My wizard worked fine with activesync under normal XP, but since I have "upgraded" my PC to Media Center edition, it fails to recognise the phone.
I get the message saying that there was a problem setting up my hardware. The version of the "Windows Mobile Based Device" is 28/10/05 - 5.1.2600.2781.
Anyone have any ideas if I can update this driver from the web?
Cheers
In case anyone suffers from this in the future, it was solved by the release of Activesync 4.2.
Looks like that updated the device driver
I have attached my Cingular 8525 to by computer via the USB cable. I am running Windows Vista (32-bit, official product release [not a beta or release candidate version]). I have also inserted the original Cingular CD containing the drivers for the phone. However, these drivers are for Windows XP (or other versions of Windows, but not Vista). When I connect the phone to the USB cable I get an error:
----- begin snip -----
Windows needs to install the driver software for your Generic RNDIS.
Device driver was not successfully installed.
Generic RNDIS
----- end snip -----
I have also searched the XDA-Developers Web site for answers, but have not found any relevant answers (http://forum.xda-developers.com/ and http://xda-developers.com/). Places I have looked for answers include:

Install Windows Mobile Device Center Beta. It's available free from microsoft. After installing that my 8525 was recognized immediately and installed the following drivers automatically:
WpdRapi.dll
WUDFRd.sys
Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter
There may be some other things it installed, but the bottom line is my 8525 is working well with Vista and everything installed automatically. My 2125 is working well, too.
EDIT: I am using Vista RTM Build 6000.
Windows Mobile Device Center Beta is also working for me (on a T-Mobile Vario II). A little buggy but does the job.
Does anyone know when the final release of Windows Mobile Device Center will appear?
WMDC Beta 3 on Vista Ultimate is one of the most useless beta from MS ever. In fact apart from a connection sound my Vista doesn't do anything when I connect my TyTN - on my XP Pro home at least I can browse my device. Here at work I can't use it at all, period.
After 1-2 months of use I have to admit this Vista is an enourmously giant piece of sh*t for hundreds of dollars - stay away of this crap at least for another 6-8 months or as long as you can.
Firstly, Vista is a great OS. You need the hardware for it (it really needs more than 1Gb of RAM to perform well) but if you have then it makes XP look like the aged operating system that it is.
And although WMDC beta 3 is not perfect, it works OK on my PC and is much nicer than ActiveSync.
Yep WMDC beta is a little buggy but that's why they call it beta. And since Vista Ultimate hasn't even been officially released any criticisms of it or reports of problems with it on your system are mute until the release date.
With that said, I'm running Ultimate on a Toshiba laptop and love it.
I am having a simular problem. i cant connect my 8525 to the pc. when i attach the usb to the computer and the device nothing happens.
under device manager when i force it, the 8525 comes up as an unknown device and when i try to install drivers for it, it says it cant find any.

I have a multple boot machine, running, XP Pro, VISTA Ultimate RTM, Knoppix on HD (linux kernel 2.6), ofiice 2007 on both Windows. I use also Virtual PC 2007 on VISTA to have an XP Home virtual machine inside VISTA
No way to have a reliable use of mobile devices in VISTA.
Windows media player Sync is a random event, connecting and syncing is the old and well known Windows "Plug and Pray"., Virtual PC can't use USB sync, no way
On Xp Office 2007 works perfectly with Active Sync 4.2, I flashed the Hermes BIOS, and Shared my phone Internet connection.
Vista is still in a growing up stage (buggy or NO drivers at all, old Sw unstable when running on Vista, USB devices like webcams, USB phones, printers not working) . As an example I have an all-in-one HP network printer, with drivers included in VISTA Ultimate RTM release. I can print my photos only with borders, no way to print borderless!)
To solve all VISTA issues and release the full power of VISTA-Mobile Devices integration I think a common effort is needed, between mobile 0S (crossbow will be released also with this purpose) and WMDC. Remember, at the beginning they said "no need of any other SW to connect and sync VISTA to mobile devices", then... we still have WMDC in BETA

aroundlsu,
What driver(s) show for your 8525 under Device Manager? Mine is showing as HTC USB Sync and always generates a Code 10.
TIA,

Do you have WMDC installed? If so, Update the RNDIS driver manually. You are looking for the Microsoft Corporation "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" drivers. You will have to use the Show All Drivers switch when you search for it. Then a second New Hardware window will pop-up, this is the one for the Hermes. Unfortunately it is also where I am stuck. I have my 4700 syncing, but my 8525 is not properly identified/loaded.

Vista works fine with my 8525.. everything sync'd up by itself. I think it automatically downloaded the HTC update.
I'm and having trouble in syncing music onto my memory card through WMP 11 running on Vista Business. This is not a problem at home using XP pro and WMP 11.
WMP will not see the card as a seperate device meaning I only have 25mb spare to sync.
I'm sure I've seen someone else post this issue but can not find it anywhere in the forum.
Any help on fixing it would be much appreciated!
You have to disable the advanced network functionality in the USB to PC connection on your hermes
Hello.
When I plug in the HTC HD2 I got a new device in Windows 7 Ultimate - Bluetooth Peripheral Device with a yellow mark (code 28).
Windows mobile center is working.
Tested some typical actions (update drivers, uninstall, disable PAN, ...) without success.
Any idea?
Thanks.
SOLVED
Update drivers in device manager.
what make is your laptop/pc and what bluetooth stack do you have on your pc/laptop?
INFO
Sony Vaio VGX-TP3/Z (No bluetooth integrated)
External Bluetooth MSI Dongle (old)
I have exactly the same problem with my HD2 and Fujitsu Siemens Amilo with windows 7, built in bluetooth. (peripheral bluetooth device exclamation mark and error 28)
I tried the broadcom update but it wont install. I dont really know what bluetooth stack is on this laptop but I've been hunting around for a driver for a few days now but nothing seems to work.
Anyone any ideas how to get this paired succesfully?
Cheers
Try seaching ALL OF C:\ when looking for a driver
I've had the same issue, just browse for the driver yourself, and when you
can enter an location, enter c:\ and have it run for a few minutes.
For me, my comp. found the driver on my c:\ drive, even when auto-update and look for drivers on my computer failed.
Please report
Cheers. I'll give that a try tommorrow at work
Still cant get this to work.
Can anyone else help?
Cheers
Hi mates,
I had the same problem as you. But I don't think that driver is that important. But however I figured it out.
- First you have got to install the driver for your Bluetooth Device (either it's integrated or a seperate device)
- Then you go to Device Manager and double click on that yellow marked driver
- You go to Driver->Update Driver-> Browse My Computer for Driver Software-> Let me Pick From a List of Device Drivers on My Computer-> Mobile Devices->
- Then you find Microsoft Corporation and and install Windows Mobile-based Device ..... (something)
That will fix your problem...
And to activate the ActiveSync or HandFree or Stereo Sound (music playing through your PC's speakers, you go to Settings, in the righ corner Menu and then advanced. There you will have the Bluetooth Manager thingy.
You know the rest....
I have the same problem, I was following the guide above and when I chode the mobile devices there was no list of the manufacturers and the only option is to "Have a disc".
Any idea please ?
sorry misstyped - not "chode" but "chose".

I have 5 choices under Microsoft there: Windows Smartphone 2002 and 2003, Windows PocketPC 2002 and 2003, and Microsoft USB Sync. I tried PocketPC 2003 - no luck. Tried some other ones for fun, no luck. Tried HTC as manufacturer but all the drivers there are for USB Sync.
I have a Dell E6500/Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card, Windows 7 Pro.
Anyone have any other ideas? At this point, I just want to sync via Bluetooth...
I have the same issue. Can't get bluetooth to work on Windows 7, 64 bit. I get the same options as the reply above.
Tried the bluetooth.zip file in this thread but the computer does not recognize the files.
Haven't found anything on the HTC-website either.

Here's what I found: connect via bluetooth, ignore the missing driver warnings, and start the sync from ActiveSync on the phone. This seems to work for me...
Thanks! It solved my problem.
I'm having the same problem with my HD2 on Win7 x64. I tried the solutions above but no success. Any new ideas to try? Thanks!
Sorry, forgot to subscribe to the thread.

What are we meant to do with these files exactly? My computer doesn't recognise them.
I'm still having this problem too.
I've tried all suggestions including the one to select Microsoft Corporation for both the Mobile Devices and Bluetooth Radio categories. However, Microsoft Corporation is not listed as a manufacturer for either of those categories.

Dear iphoneresister - you are a genius!
Just spent 3 hours trying to connect my HD2 to my Lenovo laptop with Win 7 Ultimate.
Whyt didn't i see your solution earlier
Win 7 x64 + functional bluetooth 2.x dongle + Atrix
I've pinged the forums and the internet and have been unsuccessful. The phone is recognized as a "bluetooth peripheral device" in windows and I can't get it to use proper drivers and function.
I've tried numerous bluetooth software options including the garbage broadcom drivers that nearly broke my entire computer.
I'm back to stock windows stack with the same problem.
Help is much appreciated. Thank you!
Please someone at least give me a direction to head in. Any inkling of an idea will do. Thank you very much.
I've been having the same problem. I've looked high and low for possible solutions but none have worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

How is that even remotely helpful, Microsoft? I'm posting it here anyway incase it helps a googler reach this thread.
I'm going to post this over in the motorola owner forums as well.
I'm now starting to put severe pressure on Motorola Mobility support to fix these issues. __And I encourage everyone reading about these Atrix problems because they suffer from them to do the same! Go to motorola.com and click support__. The other two issues I am tackling as well: Bluetooth skipping when streaming to a headunit (that I have tested to work flawlessly with 7 out of 7 other handsets (friends and family). And random rebooting, with no hope of detecting what the conflict is thanks to this locked down phone.
My last resort will be warranty replacements up the wazoo and escalating tech support cases over at motorola.
I am on a dell Studio XPS 1640 Win 7 x64 , bluetooth is a Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card. Post here if anyone has more info on this issue..
I've got a Dell XPS 1645, and I'm now just experiencing the same thing. No solutions as of yet, just adding to the roster.
Did you try turning off all Bluetooth services and then turning each one on, one at a time? I did this, and pinpointed this problem to the PandoraLink service that was offered by my Atrix. That service is meant to be used for Pandora Internet Radio between the Android phone and any automotive audio system with PandoraLink, not for Windows computers.
thanks for that info geopgeop! I do have pandora installed on my atrix.
Could you provide a few quick poitners on how you enable/disable bluetooth services? I know one screen where I can choose between audio and phone services .. but on that screen I dont have any pandoralink.
I wonder if uninstalling the pandora app will rid me of the pandoralink bluetooth service for testing?
If you have the Widcomm Bluetooth stack on windows 7 x64 then that will cause issues. I changed my stack a while back because I really wanted to see if I could get my Wiimote to get recognized properly and before I did that my phone was recognized without fail. After I changed my stack my Wiimote still wouldn't work still but my phone didn't get recognized like before. So I reverted my stack to how it used to be and problem solved.
