ActiveSync w/USB stopped connecting

Suddenly Activesync will no longer connect to my Universal
I hear the tone when I plug in the cable and AS displays connecting, however it fails to connect. Next I tried upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2 and this did not help. The only difference is AS will timeout and display a troubleshoot screen. Troubleshooting could not find anything. I rebooted my PC and Universal multiple time to try the classical fix without any success.
Any ideas what to try next?

howabout:
soft reset universal.
backup universal, and hard reset then restore.
delete partnership.

I was afraid that someone was going to suggest that That was on my list to try. First I want to check my home computer. A hard reset may be in order either way. For as long as I can remember, I can not get my Universal to uninstall a program. It always complains that uninstall did not work. I do soft resets before uninstalling. Therefore, I wind up manually deleting program files and shortcuts.
Does a hard reset clean up the registry?
How do I do a backup if I can't connect?

a hard reset will return the registery to factory values and entries.
i use spb backup. you can get a .cab of the program. so you can put it on an SD card and backup to that (assuming you have one)
of course the restoring the backup will return the pda to the previous value state, but perhaps something will get lost that got it wedged in the first place.
to be honest, i have never found a cause for weird activesync behaviour or a repeatable work around often just 'doing stuff' fixs it.

This solved most of the problem. Thanks.
Wi-Fi config to work needs some tweaking - don't know why yet. However the #1 problem of active sync is now working.
I still can't remove a program via activesync or PPC. I mkust mannually delete files

oh you remove packages with actisync? i never use that. i use the start->settings->system->remove programs. that removes stuff that's been installed with cabs, and activesync.

Running Version 4.5 for Tytn II
Thanks

I'm not sure if my solution is the best one (I certainly don't recommend it
because it was time consuming) but I got a bluetooth adapter, copied whatever
data/contacts I could using the generic file transfer feature of bluetooth
and then executed a hard reset. This wiped out all of my data and probably
erased whatever was causing the problem. I can now sync with ActiveSync 4.5.
I REALLY didn't like this solution but my device works now.

Did you see this page? Have you hard reset yet? What OS? Stock ROM?

Thanks for your replay.
So do you think the issue is actually with the phone and not my PC?

Quite possibly.

copy/paste error

I've got an irritating problem on my X1.
i cant copy/move/delete/install files on my phone.
when i try the phone tells me the file is already in use or its protected against overwriting (raw translation from dutch to english).
after a soft reset and clossing all the programs it still gives this error
and i cant find anything on google about this problem.
thanx in advance for helping me out.

I would try using total commander to do it

thnx for the tip but the problem also means i cant install anything on the xperia...
any more suggestions?

If you can't install anything at all, I would start with a hard-reset, as it's obviously malfunctioning. If it still occurs after the reset, you had best send it back.

i was scared u would say that i'll try a hard reset and beg for the problem to be over. thanks for the help

Installation was unsuccessful

Guys help me please!!!
When i try to install some .cab file i've receive message ""Installation of [Program which is installing] for windows mobile.CAB was unsuccessful
I try to flash rom 2-3 times, but still makes the same problem

what CAB file you are installing? maybe the CAB file youre trying to install is not compatible for your device...

- To restore to factory settings Go To Settings/System/Clear Storage input 1234 and tap OK... this will return all youre system settings to factory defaults (WARNING) this is like HARD RESET!

I tried with "Clear Storage" option, but again without success
Any other advices ?

Try to hard reset your device this will restore everything back to standard
Hold camera and comms button press reset with your stylus keep holding buttons untill message appears on screen then release both buttons and press green send key
A message should appear saying formatting and your device will reset you will go through the set up like a newly flashed rom ie,, calibrate screen ect..
Or you can look on wiki for more
Also i see that you are having trouble installing those cab files you must make sure that the version you are trying to install is both compatible with your device and compatible with your windows mobile version

I fix the problem
Windows Vista makes me this problem, i tried to install .cab files on XP and everything works perfect
Thanks to all
Sorry for my bad English

arrrgh
nice to hear this!!!

no wonder Microsoft scrapped that crappy OS but now they are making an even worse pile of crap

I don't know about Windows Mobile but I had almost the same problem on Android, maybe this explanation can help you and you can look for your own solution then on the Windows Mobile side.

Anyone in this community able to answer this question? - EDIT! - problem solved!

After emailing back and forth with the HTC support team about the Leo's "too loud ear piece" and after asking me a million questions they finally sent me the Debug tool 3.4 to run it in my Leo and send them the logfile.
Well the stupid application it's been running for days and never seems to stop. It did create some 20 DM files on my SD card which can't be seen in explorer anymore. I put it into a card reader to see what's happening.
I hard reseted my Leo to stop the debugging tool but no use, I reflashed, taken out the sd card, but nu use the darn thing still runs and kills my battery! WIFI doesn't work either!!!
What should I do?
Please help!!!

Format Your sdcard. the file must be on there if youve reflashed

Done that too!

I even swapped SD cards, formatted them you name it I've done it!
Please share your wisdom if you have an answer!!!
PS debug tool 3.4 is what's causing the problem!

Are you doing a hard reset without your sd card inserted?..
If the answer is yes, then try..
format your sd card, then flash a new rom using goldcard method.... it is virtually impossible for the file to stay storaged in the sd (after format) or the device (beacuse u did format it when doing the flashing process).

In makes sense but!

I know hard reset should have helped, but try letting the phone empty and then remove the battery for a couple of hours-day, then try it agian.
Mabey I don't get the question but.. how come it's still working with the debugging tool while the phone is flashed? The debugging tool is prob. placed on a special sector of the main memory normaly not accessed by a rom, the program it self doesn't run from normal memory sectors, so you might have a try with a SPL update/overwright. If all fails send it back, why would htc give you this program? they allways say send it back and you'll get a new one?...

please post the tool, might give some insight after disasm. MFG area is interesting.
It's been written to special memory place.
Again, please post the tool you were given

how are you doing a hard reset?, are you using the clean memory tool software on your device, or are u pressing vol up and down simultaneously while powering on the device...... I just dont get how the program stays in memory after hard reset, even after flashing.

I've attached the toll. I finally got rid of it by being able to rerun the program (which i prior tried a million times) and rewrite the parametres to "0" instead of 435 and 401. Give it a go if you know what you're doing and you can read log files.
regards,
G

You got rid of it. I edit out the post

Solution:
First backup your SD, after format with FAT32 .... reinstall your ROM and after insert your SD.

got dmmnit, glad u got rid of it, maybe we can learn how it.doez stick to the rom like that n use it in other apps like smartprotect. congrats!:

hi, do u mind sharing how u got rid of it?

I run this tool too, but after have no way to stop first try to read forum. Solution to stop program already is given from wmfreak. It is not need to make hard reset or to reformat SD card. Only things to do is to run program one more time and:
