How far have you got? Synce installed? Partnership created?
What version of ubuntu?
Hi Kangburra, if you have this working can you post a how to of how u did it?? I use linux mint ( ubuntu spin off) & ive never managed to get any of my phones to sync in linux..
I have ubuntu 8.04.
My last one windows mobile PDA was Eten X500+. For to share internet connection a needed only to have installed two packages:
dkms and usb-rndis-dkms
Its now working now.
I tried to use usb-rndis-lite (http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3588717&postcount=54), but it failed too.

Ok i just got a new laptop which is loaded with the new (but crappy) microsoft vista operating system. first off let me say this, vista is an ultra headache to deal with! i dont recommend anyone using this operating system, unbuntu (linux) is way easier than vista.
anyways, back to where i was going.... my other laptop, which is loaded with windows xp, succesfully installed the usb modem drivers for the apache 6700. but whenever i try to install the same exact driver on my new laptop it says "windows cannot find the specified file"! i pointed the driver file , .inf, to the correct directory and everything. i downloaded another dialer and driver file and put it on the desktop, still windows cannot find the file even though i point windows to it (cot damn vista!).
this leads me to believe that this driver file does not work under vista. can anyone else confirm this or tell me what im doing wrong? i tried many different ways of install the driver, but vista fails. please, can anyone help me?
no body huh?
vista and dun
i too have the same problem with vista... i have read and tried several "solutions" to this but none have worked for me- my computer keeps installing a treo driver which doesnt work- funny part is i can do a BT DUN @ about 115.2kbps but if i push it too hard the phone freezes... i have been thinking about installing xp on my brand new laptop that came with vista.
Anyone figure out how to install USB drivers on Vista, mines also installs Treo Drivers on its own i can't stop it from doing that, any insight?
I am using a PPCGeeks Rom (LennySH i think) and it has an application called internet sharing. When connected with my Vista laptop the laptop uses it automatically for internet no additional drivers needed.
It also has a bluetooth setting that Vista will use to connect to a "personal area network" and your online without the cable. However the usb connection is faster.

**using Helmi not LennySH
Hello all,
I have an OEM HTC touch (elf, not elfin) and am trying to get ActiveSync 4.5 to work with it but unfortunately have had no luck so far. I have tried both an XP SP3 and a Vista SP1 computer (using the mobile device center thing on vista) and have had no such luck so far.
I have tried everything on the internet that i could find to fix this including trying both with and without advanced network functionality and after completely disabling Windows firewall (i am using AVG free and Windows firewall on the XP machine) all to no avail.
Is anyone able to suggest me something new or tell me if either of these are likley to work:
a) Rolling back to SP2 on XP
or
b) Trying an earlier version of ActiveSync
Has anyone else had this problem? I have seen a few cases on this forum in other phone sections and on the net but none of the solutions that worked for them or their phone have worked.
Thankyou
Ps. Is there any form of Linux alternative that anyone knows of? I run linux on my main PC.
Hi, I am having the same issue with my Czech T-Mobile Touch. I dont know what to do with it. I am considering a bigger hammer as I have no other ideas.
I still haven't figured out how to fix this but using WM5 storage works to transfer files.
No problems here..
.. with both Vista x64 SP1 and WinXP SP3.
what errors are you getting??
Solution.
It happend the same to me. The problem is the drivers on WXP sp3.
I use a WXp SP3 stand alone instalation.
When i installed Activesync, the windows asked me for de WXpsp3 installation CD, due to activesync setup changed the usb drivers. I ansewred NO. So i did not update Wxpsp3 drivers and manteind activesync setup drivers.
Other way, do not use enhace USB connections on the config panel on the HTC.
I did two things and my HTC is working fine on WXP sp3.
Don't look for any other explanations, thats it. I've beeing trying solutions many months and anything worked. Thats it.
Good Luck.
solution
had the same problem....
mine works when i plugin the usb to my cell partially....otherwise not...
just dont plug the usb cable end of the phone fully to mobile but leave a little space in between...
Hello,
Is anyone here running Linux and Syncing their Windows Mobile over USB?
I have spent a full day with Ubuntu 9.04 and Synce.sync etc..
I was connected and had a partnership, but it wouldn't Sync.
I am back on Windows Mobile 5 from Vodafone!!!
Please let me know what the best Linux is for this - I want to get away from Bill Gates.
Thanks
**************** SOLVED!!!!
For anyone else wanting to venture away from the SLOW Windows from Bill Gate, here's what I did:
I have at the moment Vista & Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty with Dual boot, until I have all my data etc in Ubuntu.
Install Ubuntu onto the computer, along side Windows.
After the Installation - Boot into Ubuntu.
Before Playing around Installing any other bits of Software do the following and you will be Syncing your Windows Mobile within 10 Minutes.
Follow these Instructions (Don't use any other from the Internet ( This was my Original mistake )).
SynCE with Windows Mobile 5/6/6.1 on Ubuntu
I hope this will help you as it helped me.
Niiiiccce
I just started using Ubuntu last week and was wonder what I would do about Sync-ing my phone. Thanks for solving the problem. I will give it a try when I find some time.
I use pdanet with my vogue on windows Vista. I've decided to get rid of windows all together if I can, but the only way for me to get internet at home is tethering. So if I can get it to work with my ubuntu then I can ditch my vista. I've searched with no luck on getting anything working with this phone. Has anyone here usb tethered the vogue to ubuntu or linux? Thanks
I have a script at home for ubuntu that will tether with WinMo... the only thing is I am working a night shift right now, but if you do me a favor and reply to this thread tomorrow I will post it here
If anyone knows how to tether Android to Ubuntu that would be fantastic

PDANET is crap, and pointless with the vogue, windows mobile comes with an internet sharing program on the phone, just enable it and plug it in. on windows the drivers come with activesync. here's a simple walkthrough for vista and internet sharing. http://www.windowsmobilecool.com/2008/10/internet-sharing-love-laptop-windows-mobile-phone/
attached is a picture of internet sharing on my vogue running NFSFANS 6.5 rom
To get the drivers to tether in ubuntu go here.
http://1n73r.net/2008/10/16/how-to-tether-windows-mobile-to-ubuntu
that works for me.
if you get the following error when running make
Code:
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.28-15-server/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
then run the command
Code:
$ sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

What he said
Thanks. I've tried the internet sharing program in windows but it gives me more difficulties staying connected than pdanet does. I'll give the drivers a try for ubuntu, thank you.
Okay I want to ask how I could get my HTC HD2 synchronized 10.10 linuxi ubuntu that I could get a new ROM. before you start throwing that hey why do not try wine, I have tried to install it but activesync works but the usb do not work. I also tried the Sync icon and multisync, but none of them work. also tried virtual box using xp ISO img and installing activesync but COM ports, did not work. So, if there is some Linux guru and boss please help me.???
