WM6 Internet Sharing without ActiveSync - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

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.

VISTA BUILD 5600 WITH WMDC

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 :=)
Try this procedure.
1. Download this file.
http://www.download.windowsupdate.co...bc9 4587a.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:=)"
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!!!!

usb driver for vista

First post so be gentle
I've searched past posts and found similar questions but not many answers
I was happy using my mda vario 2 via usb to my mce laptop
I purchased vista ultimate on release date and since then haven't been able to connect via usb.
I'm currently using it via bluetooth but would prefer my usb back
Has t-mobile released an updated usb driver for vista yet ?
I take it that you have downloaded the Active Sync for Vista 4.5
Once you have this downloaded, when you first connect your device it will install all the new drivers and carry out the process of setting up the syc data.
I hope that this will help you in some way

P.S. Search Microsoft.com for active sync for vista

Vista uses WMDC, not activesync.......
You don't need Active Sync 4.5 in Vista, you need Windows Mobile Device Center, its already available thru Windows Update or website
will WMDC allow you to run RUU programs from this forum, or do I still need to figure out the whole usbser.sys thing? I'm pretty savvy, but I'm still a bit confused on this point.
i have the Windows Mobile Device Center software.
I'm wanting to use the mda as a modem on my laptop so i need a usb driver.
The usb driver included on the install disc is for xp only and isnt compatible with vista.
Is that correct or have people have got it working ?
thanks in advance for any help
I can't even get my device to be reconnized by Vista anymore. WMDC doesnt detect it at all...
To install the modem drivers for vista, edit the usbmdm file like so adding
"include=mdmcpq.inf" in these three sections.
[Modem1.NT]
DriverVer=05/13/1999
include=mdmcpq.inf
CopyFiles=FakeModemCopyFileSection
AddReg = All, MfgAddReg, Modem1.AddReg, Voice, EXTERNAL, MDMGL007.V90_Voice,MDMGL004.ExtraCID,MDMGL001.TerseResp
[Modem1.NT.Services]
include=mdmcpq.inf
AddService=usbser, 0x00000000, LowerFilter_Service_Inst
[Modem1.NT.HW]
include=mdmcpq.inf
AddReg=LowerFilterAddReg
For the RUUs, you have to replace the WMDC drivers with the old ActiveSync ones; there's a thread on that somewhere. As for the USB modem, I would recommend switching to a WM6 ROM - it no longer uses the weird modem drivers, it just appears as a network device automatically, at least in XP, but I would assume Vista has that driver built in because XP does.

Windows Mobile Center

Hi boys,
I have a problem with WVista, to 32 bit.
Before with HTC P3600 it worked me the
I Windows Mobile Center:confused and I connected me to the pc.
Now with the Polaris it doesn't connect him to the pc.
HELP ME
Unckeck the USB to PC in your settings
Yes setting usb a pc
In Windows XP: ok
In Windows Vista: no connect
Please check your settings in your TC. There is something called USB to PC and the option for it nust be unchecked!
No work
parntership might be full, try deleting it in phone.
i have windows vista 64 bit, and the same thing happened to me.
i uninstalled and reinstalled the windows mobile device center.
then it worked.
My Windows Vista is 32 bit
i uninstalled and reinstalled the windows mobile device center, no work
solution
http://www.know24.net/blog/WMDC+Vista+Synch+Problem+Fix.aspx
To pull this off you will need a second account on your Vista machine.
Click start and >> switch user. Login to your alternate windows profile.
Run WMDC. You will notice that it works on this profile. Once it finds your device, log off switch back to your main profile.
In my case this allowed WMDC to continue recognising my device and synchronisation worked fine.
i found this after more than a day on forums!
Be aware that Vista SP1 has apparently created some underlying USB problems from time to time. There's no known fix as yet, but I found that at some point after applying SP1 (32-bit version), my existing USB stuff worked, but any "new" device would not install. Turns out that the INFCACHE.1 file got corrupted as well as several of the USB-related .INF files, and since these files tell Vista how to modify the registry and where to place specific driver modules, you're pretty much toast. You can search Microsoft's Knowledge Base and see what they are saying about USB driver/INF corruption. OBTW, do not try to simply copy the "missing" .INF files into \Windows\INF - that does NOT work in all cases. Unfortunately for me, I had to completely reimage my machine. After that, I've not had any problems (fingers crossed).

Windows 7 x64 wont connect

Ive tried searching now for about 2 hours for a fix.
Ive just installed windows 7 x64 pro and i can not get it to work with my HD. It will not recognize it at all. Ive had various problems, always seems different.
Ive tried turning off the enable fast data. This changed the problem, but didnt fix it.
At the moment, i have that enabled and the problem from what i can tell is, in device manager Microsoft Windows Remote Adapter is not working.
If i disable fast data, i get a connecting to host message on my HD screen and nothing else really happens.
Ive tried updating the USB drivers, but that will not work, something to do with unsigned drivers.
Under mobile devices in device manager i get PocketPC USB Sync instead of the HTC usb Sync thing.
Is there a solution for this please?
With me it worked on windows 7x64 straight out of the box. I suggest re-installing win 7.
I'd have to agree, using Windows x64 Professional here and both my Touch HD and my partners work fine (I had to allow Windows to download an updated version of Windows Mobile Device Center first though).
I do not suggest reinstalling Win 7. Geez. Sorry, but that's using an axe to trim a toenail.
Try downloading and reinstall the x64 version of Windows Mobile Device Center. Make sure you get version 6.1. Do not download any driver updates meant for Vista - you don't need them. But this main file will be marked Vista - it includes you too.
Next, it's possible that when you first plugged in the blackstone, a driver install got canceled or didn't happen right. Use your hardware manager and look for any new generic devices or HID devices. You can try deleting the hardware from the list and asking device manager to look again.
MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER.
Good luck.
Installed windows 7 last week.... i mainly use this pc at home and at work i use XP.
Anyway just connected it now to my notebook and after some driver downloads from windows the phone works fine...
make sure u download the latest mobile device center.
I had the same with my Topaz and windows 7. The fix was to disable the windows firewall while syncing.
This solved my sync problems with Windows 7 ultimate x64
Open notepad
write the text : net localgroup Administrators LocalService /add
save the file as e.g. HTC.bat somewhere on your hard drive where you can find it
Locate with Windows Explorer the .Bat file you just edited
Rightclick on the bat fil
select "run as administrator"
restart your computer. Your HTCH Touch HD should connect without problems

Kies won't install on xp sp3

Hi
I have been trying to install Kies, but I after step 3 of installation, Kies intaller says "Cannot access the file server. Please check the network settings."
I'm connected to internet, no firewall, no nothing.
Pls help, thx.
Same with me on WIN7 64bit The latest Kies version from samsung site. Did you solve it? Any solution?
I couldnt get it to install on my laptop or desktop which are both running Vista. I upgraded my desktop to Windows 7 32bit and it finally installed.
SOLVED
I have found the solution. Disable all network connections except one that is directly connected to the internet. I had VMware and BT connections beside my local area connection. Strange and stupid but its true.
I disabled all connexions ant it still wont install. Any other options?
Galaxy S is not connecting to the PC - not even on mass storage mode.
as unusual as it may sound, on my laptop running XP w/sp3, i had to first install
.NET 4 framework from microsoft (google it and download direct from microsoft), then reboot
then when installing Kies, believe it or not, it would not install until i connected to the internet by tethering via PDAnet so it could download something
inspite of the fact that Kies is a 316 MB file, it still needs to download more files, and apparently a big something cause it took about 25 minutes watching the progress bar), and then it completed perfectly
and even more curious to me, when i look in Control Panel under "remove programs), it only shows to be a 212 MB file - go figure
now the only issue i have is, on my desktop running Vista Home Premium, Kies will connect perfectly and read everything including my ext SD card ( and i haven't formatted my external SD card)
while on my laptop, it will not complete the MTP connection, but it will tether which is all i care for it to do on the laptop
and btw, it seems to browse faster while tethered via Kies

I was having the same problem here, XP SP3 on VirtualBox. The solution I found was to temporarily disable the Windows Firewall; after this, the Kies software could contact its server and installed without a hitch.

Thanks, turning off the Windows Firewall worked for me. Samsung needs to test this stuff more thoroughly before releasing. Having your installer error out because of Windows Firewall on default settings is not good.
Thanks!
Turning off the windows Firewall in a XP SP3 VMware System helped
I can't get kies to install on Win XP SP3 either
If I install from the disk it comes up with a dialog box asking for .net 3.5 and the only option in the dialog box is "e:\", which is my cdrom drive if i click ok nothing happens if i click cancel then installation is aborted. there is no option to browse to another location and I have also tried installing .net 3.5 manually and it has the same problem.
if I download kies from samsung then it takes ages to download, then eventually aborts and gives an error about not being a valid 32 bit application.
I have also tried disabling the firewall as well. I am really annoyed with this P.O.S software!!!
Does anyone have any suggestions for me before I attack the Galaxy with a sledge hammer?
Kind Regards

Theoretically it might be possible, if you already have all the pre-req already installed in the system
i'm installing KIES on a clean XP SP3 and to my surprise it needed:
Microsoft Installer 3.1
.NET framerwork 4.0
Windows Media Player 11
now it's trying to download an Outlook2007 add on
because that's the outlook installed in the system, it will try to add some add on for Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010 and probably even Outlook XP
can't figure out where it's trying to file from, because it always gets stuck at 2% downloading and it's driving me nuts.
i can easily find the full file elsewhere i'm sure if i know which file it needs
I had same problem, I solved unistalling Norton Internet security an voilà, install it whith no problem, Norton sucks!
