Hi all,
I have an XPA S200 alias Prophet from Swisscom Mobile. The first thing I did was installing the "PDAMobiz Editon Upgrade Rom for SPL 2.15.0001" ROM which worked well for a while.
Now I can't sync it anymore using the USB connection (IR works). Yesterday I installed the ROM again, restored my data and was able to sync. I thought ok, everything is ok now. But today sporadically I have the same issue again.
If the connection is not ok, my computer only shows an unknown device.
Does anyone have an idea what can cause this problem. It seems like the USB port of the device is blocked from time to time.
By the way has anyone an English version of the original Swisscom ROM for the S200? I have forgot to back it up before installing the new ROM.
ROM version: 2.15.13.27 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
ExtRIN version: 2.21.13.102 PDAMobiz.com
I have ActiveSync 4.2.0 (Build 4876) (English) installed on my computer.
Best regards,
Tom
Today I was playing around with my device. I tried several things, but it is not possible anymore to connect using USB. Even a ROM upgrade doesn't work anymore.
I can still sync my device using IR, but any ROM changes are not possible anymore.
Don't know if this will help but found that connecting the SPV M600 to the USB lead occasionally tripped out the USB 2 port on the computer. Just switching the computer off and on didn't help as it was only a soft reset. Switching off and disconnecting from the mains for 60 seconds, then switching on again reset the USB port and allowed activesync to work again (untill it tripped out next time). This has happened about 5 times now in 3 weeks. This applied to all USB ports, not just the one connected to.
Unfortunately this doesn't help. I made some further tests. A friend has the same device.
Using my computer I can sync his device but not mine. Using his computer we can sync his device as well but mine doesn't.
But again suddenly it was possible to sync sporadically. Now I think there is really a problem with the USB connector of the device.
Because I assume a hardware problem and need to contact the vendor I need to get an original ROM from Swisscom now (no matter which language/English preferred).
Does anyone know where to get such a ROM? Swisscom currently doesn't offer any to download. Additionally is there a way to upgrade the ROM using an SD card?
I think I got one step further. When I use the USB-switch tool and change from rndis to serial and back Activesync connects again.
For a moment it is connected and syncing but then it gets disconnected again.
No matter what I try the connection is not stable.
Hello,
this sounds like exactly my problem.
Previously i had T-mobile MDA (with dipod rom), and it worked fine, no problem at all.
Now i have a prophet (again Dopod rom), and i've had nothign but problems. Activesyc initially worked once or twice, but has not for a long time now. i've tried deinstalling, re-partnering, deleting everything, etc. I've even now had XP re-installed on the computer and done a cold boot on the Prophet...now change!
The only thng that works is syncing via infrared! This works every time, no problem at all.
I have no idea what the issue is...but it is very frustrating.
i have the same problem, it worked for two weeks. today suddenly does not connect anymore. WTF? I install new activesync, rebbot divece, computer & still nothing...
doesnt work on other computer also... Which files are inportent on divice to connect it with activesync? Please help... tnx
I have a T-mobile MDA G3 U.S. and I had it unlocked and flashed with some custom ROM I don't remember. I got a Herald couple days ago so I gave it away to a friend. As requested by him, I flashed it with a Chinese wm6 rom. However, it turned out he wanted to use touch flo and stuff so we found another Chinese ROM with that and flashed it. During the flashing process, I noticed an unusual long waiting time after the progress bar got to 100%. After succeed, the ROM turned out to be the original Chinese ROM again. I figured there might be some problem with unlocking so I unlocked it with lokiwizard tool again, but this time it won't even lemme update the ROM! RUU tool said "Communication error". The problem turned out to be the phone cannot establish USB connection under 3 color mode(when I plug it in under 3-color, computer sounds like you plugged in a failed USB device). Now I can't even flash it with the original T-Mobile 2.26 WWE! I tried hard reset and everything but I still can't connect under 3-color mode. Though that ActiveSync worked fine. Please help me!
(Maybe I can, in some way, flash it without USB?)
You got to have usb working to flash,check if the usb cable is faulty or the mini usb port of the phone.Did you try with a different usb cable or on a different usb port of the pc,even you can try with some other pc.If the usb cable is faulty,replace it,but if its the mini usb port of the phone,it'll have to be either repaired or replaced.
There's no other possible method to flash a rom,the only other method which might be possible is through Sdcard backup rom using MTTY commands,but its only possible if you had already backed up the rom on a Sdcard and the phone is already CID unlocked.
I tried replacing two more USB cables and on a different computer, still no luck.
Wierd thing is, I have USB working under ActiveSync, but not in 3-color mode. I don't know much about how the phone works but I figured the 3-color mode might be a part of SPL? And somehow I've damaged it. The phone still works fine, plus ActiveSync. It's just I can't flash it anymore.
thanks to zabardast,
it turned out to be I had tried with 2 faulty cables... =/
Well I'm still stuck with this ROM, I used lokiwiz03a to unlock my phone and it worked fine(IPL/SPL 2.26). When I was using RUU to flash it, I still have the same problem. Nothing was flashed, nothing happened. What should I do?

Download WST_4.2.2 tool and run the 'CID Action' button to verify the CID lock/unlock status of the phone and proceed further,you need to use lokiwiz02b to work on G3 device for CID unlocking and not lokiwiz03a.
Secondly, Hard Reset the phone,it might be that Extended_Rom has got corrupted and download the official carrier's rom and flash it to recover back to its default working status and than go further.
Hey, small problem here. I was charging my HD2 earlier today with no problems at all, I flashed the 1.72 stock ROM back onto my phone, and it seemed to be charging fine for a small while after that. But now, after I tried charging my phone, it doesn't seem to recognise there's a USB connection at all. The LED at the speaker-grille isn't doing anything, and the the phone tells me it isn't connected by USB when it's plugged into a computer.
I tried a tonne of things, checked the cable and switched it, soft-reset it, took the battery out, hard reset it, and even blown inside the socket to try and get rid of anything that might be blocking it, but it just isn't showing it's plugged in AT ALL any more... and now the battery is dead, so I can't do anything with it now to try and help it. :/
The only sign I have that the phone realises it has any sort of USB connection, is when I tried to hard reset the device, (I used the hold volUp+volDown+Power method) and it shows the message 'press volUp to hard reset,' usually when I do this, pressing volume up doesn't do anything when the phone is connected by USB for some weird reason - and I have to disconnect USB for the phone to hard reset. I figured this wouldn't happen if the phone doesn't realise it has a USB connection, but when the cable was plugged in, it still wouldn't hard reset until I took it out. So it shows there must be some way the phone knows it's connected.
I'm running the WWE 1.72 ROM with radio 2.10. 50.08_2 if it helps.
Any suggestions?
*Bump*
Sorry for the bump, but it would really help if anyone could help explain this.
I think a bit of trial and error would be best here to establish whats at fault.
phone, cable, or usb port.
-try plugging into a different usb port
-try a different cable (if you have one)
appologies if you have tried these allready.
Tried another cable again just incase, still nothing though. My iPods connected via that USB port I tried using, and that's working fine, so it doesn't seem like that's it, either...
Hi:
I'm having a similar problem. I had plugged in a new retractable usb cable, and when I did, the phone shut off. I rebooted, and tried my original cable, but the phone doesn't charge or sync. I've also tried hard/soft reset, wall charger, usb charger, and none of that seems to work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
No idea if this is related or not but my USB connection stopped working after I got the "bttrayce.exe is not a valid pocket pc application" problem (Thanks TomTom! ) so it would appear the USB port has some weird dependencies!
Fixed it by renaming the windows\btsdkce30.dll file (added "[temp]" to the name just in case!) and soft-resetting.
Might be worth a try?
r u using activsync or windows mobile centre ???
USB Issue
I've got exactly the same issue, running HyperROM 3.01.405.T1 and Radio 2.06.51.07.
Suddenly USB isn't working, tried various cables and I suspect it's a software issue somewhere.
Charging isn't a problem at the moment, I have a charging station (ebay from Hong Kong) so I can access the phone and try and resovle this.
I'm going to go back to the stock rom (I assume I'll find that somewhere on XDA) and upddate the Radio version and see if that sorts it.
If anyone has worked out what's casuing this generally let me know as I can imagine this will take a lot of trial and error to solve!
Thanks
have you fixed it?
i am having a similar issue:
I have recently updated my HTC HD2 rom to version 3.14.410.2.
After that i have installed tomtom navigator, but when i turn on the device it returned a message 'BTTRAYCE' is not a valid Pocket PC application'.
I looked at the forums and it was recommended to delete files Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll and
\Windows\BtCoreIf.dll, so i did.
Unfortunately my usb connection is now not working, and i think it could be related to the deletion of those 2 files.
I made a hard reset, but the problem still persists.
can anyone help me please?

Uninstall TomTom and the problem goes away.
You can download versions on TomTom Navigator 7 with the Bluetooth files removed - like * HERE *
I don't have an OS installed...
This is due to aMAGLDR being installed and when I had the device open.. I created a 'temp' folder and my next task was to create a 'create_to_sd_root', well I renamed the temp folder to that... bad move? I think so. My system acknowledges the device, however I'm unable to access it. I.e. my computer(no icon), windows mobile center(not connected), etc. Please help! I need my phone!

I you were trying to flash Android you just need to flash Clock Work Mod (CWM) and then place the .zip file for the Android ROM on your SD card and use CWM to flash the Android ROM. It is links to Youtube videos in the OP of the thread showing you how to flash CWM and the ROM.
Are you could flash back to Win MO through USB and bootloader or SD card and bootloaderr.. If you go for USB and bootloader make sure you see USB in the white bar of bootloader befor tryng to flash the ROM. Also thew SD card metrhod will remove HSPL if you use a Official and not a custom ROM.
Well I've figured out how to get the android os on there, however I'm unable to locate the drivers for AD8? I'm still unsure about what folder/files need to be on my microSD if I'm running the Desire HD Froyo(current) I cannot access any internal/external(microSD). Help?

You have to use MAGLDR's mass storage option to get access to your SD card, or use the mount storage option in Clock Work Mod. I recomemd usingvthecnass storagecin MAGLDR though as I have had trouble gettingvthecdrivers for mount storage in CWM to install but have never had a problem with the mass storage option in MAGLDR.

How do I get back the loader without booting up? Obviously haven't been able to copy the rar files. Could this be why my GPS and other functions could not be working properly?

I did the same but no work. I have issue #USB not recognized# after installed Android Transformer SD ver.
In three color screen I have USB connection working fine. I could install HSPL4, update Radio, but Win 6.5 has a USB problem.
I don't think this is a hardware issue or I am wrong?
Still confused. Should I take my phone to service?
Hi,
I have the similar problem with my hd2, but worse. Out of 3 different comouters I tried none can see the phone connected and gives me the error saying one of the USB device connected to this computer has malfunctioned and cannot be recognized. I have tried two different cables. I cannot connect my phone through latest magldr using USB flasher or USB mass storage modes. Moreover, when I connect my phone in rainbow screen (hspl screen where you install magldr), it should change to USB from serial but even that does not happen. ANy solutions?? I think its my phone.... Is there any way to revert this back to normal. I don't want a brick.

Your USB drivers for the defualt bootloader (multicolor screen) seem to be working fine, so no you do not have a hardware problem. You might want to uninstall Windows Mobile Device Center or Active Sync, which ever one your computer uses. Then re install it. Also go to device manager in your comtrol panel while you have hour HD2 booted up and connected via USB and clck on update drivers for hour phone, it should be listed in device manager.

When you say your Serial in boorloader does not change to USB this tells me you are having driver issues or hardware issues with your micro USB port on your HD2. My bet is it is just driver issues. I sugest you uninstall and rei nstall Wimdows Mobile Device Center or Active Sync which ever one your computer uses. These programs contain the USB drivers for the HD2 and MAGLDR partialy relies on those drivers to. So maybe that will solve your problem.
so here is my problem, my HD2 can not connect to my PC threw any sync cables that i have used it will only charge the phone. Went into bootloader and I can go from serial to usb connection. Also navipanel and loudspeaker keeps running. So why can bootloader see via USB and WM can not?
Running
Dutty's de la creme (V2)

wonder if the usb ports are starting to wear out
I have searched and searched and searched to answer to this problem and still nothing. i just don't understand why the usb can be recognized in bootloader, but not on WM at all. I have soft reset, hard reset, and re loaded 4-5 different roms. Active sync works fine on bluetooth
Same problem now. Using the latest Artemis ROM, Did you find the fix?
