Hi,
i just had a try on Windows 7 RTM.
I plugged in the Blackstone and it downloaded the mobile device center and synced.
A day later it doesn´t even find it anymore. I de/re-installed the mobile device center, but no change?.
Any ideas?
Thx,
nearly
Damn. I found it. If i switch off fast sync on my Blackstone it works.
But why is that? I never had to do that and now syncing takes ages.
thx,

hi
you must instal Windows Mobile Device Center
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center-download.mspx
it worked for me
I did, as i wrote above.
I´m syncing now since 5 hours with no visible progress.
I tried to de/re/uninstall everything, differnet drivers ect.
No way. I think i´ll have to go back to XP for another 8 years...
nearly
WOW. I found it. Very stupid. it was my Outpost Firewall. As i never had to do anything on XP, i haven´t thought about that.
Took me 6 hours to find that out. ouch.
Please close that thread.

Apologies if this has already been dealt with elsewhere. Tried to update ROM - was in cradle with power and connectivity with XP pc. Update started and was working fine until I got an RPC service failure message informing me that PC would shut down in a minute!! After this I have the update screen saying it will take about 5 mins to complete and do not turn power off, etc. Cannot get rid of this - have I created a fancy paperweight or is there a way out of this?
If yor XDA can not power on, try the Bootlader method:
http://www.xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1717
And check your system for viruses. You have at least one: http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100547.htm
Chris
P.S. The reason for the RPC stuff and the shutdown....
Yippee
Thanks all for advice. O2 xda up and running again! Now I can try xda-developers rom again without viruses!!
Got hit by w32.blast.worm!! What are the odds of that happening when upgrading ROM!
Thanks again.
Hi guys
Just to let you know that the blasted virus is quite prevalent. After reading this thread, I checked my computer and found the msblast.exe in the winnit 32 directory. Didn't even realised it was there till I read this forum !
Just to warn anyone out there to check out the site and clean your system.
Cheers

I have found the most comprehensive virus scanner that I have seen, it gives free online automatic or manual updates, allows you to have your email scanned before reaching you and also does its thing in real time in the background, all that and its FREE, go to www.avast.com and download the home edition, you will never regret the couple of minutes filling in your details, it even speaks to you. I dont have any connection with this company, I just think they are brilliant.
Hi
I am using AVG anti virus which is free as well; go to http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php if you want to try using this.
I will try that site you recommended as well.
I know this is not the proper forum for this but wonder if anyone has any idea how to disable all those irritating messages from Messenger Service that pops up on your screen now and then when you are on the internet? There are ads directing you to download some softwares to "cure" this problem but costs money. Also I don't seem to have this problem with Windows 98 and only when I use Windows 2000 that this irritating messaging service is present.
Hope if someone is able to give some advice.
Thanks

Sorry this is slightly off topic but it may be helpful to somone.
There are two ways to beign infected by blaster.
1 Run the pacth that fixes the vunrability in RPC.
2 Use a firewall that blocks the RPC ports the windows xp one does this by default.
If you have blsat most of the big virus checker developers have free removal tools. I used the one at http://www.symantec.com. As far as I know it does little dmage to the vistim pc, although the 16th of every month it produces a distributed dinal of service attack on windowsupdate.com.
I also recived blast on monday lunch time. I removed it by the end of the day. Luckly my rom update had not fisnished downloading so I had got round to installing it. (Perghaps there is something to be said for a slow connection . )
I recently upgraded to wm6 from the t-mobile site. At first it was running flawlessly and very fast. I have installed windows live, resco and tcmp and still things were quick. after a few weeks, strange things started happening. When i went to my SMS/MMS and began to write a message, the flashing cursor would move along as i typed but no letters would show up on the screen. If i saved this message inot drafts then opened it again, i could then see all the text i had written and was previously hidden.
Soon aftet this started happening, the same began in windows live, then word etc...
recently, my athena has started to crash within an hour of a reset. Most of the time, if i start a program, just the bar at the top will load and nothing else, this is most serious in SMS/MMS. also, when this happens and i got to memory (the start menu and setting tab are still quick) it shows that i always have over 50 meg of ram left. Although, if this helps at all, the device runs slowest when turned on from sleep mode. Before i put the device in sleep mode, when i goto file explorer i can hear the microdrive fire up and this programme runs slow. after if has been in sleep for 20 mins or so, file explorer will never boot up properly and there is no noise from the microdrive.
I have tried hard rest, starts fast again, then slows to nothing after few days. I have tried various tweaks i have seen on here, such as disabling autooff and disabling the x-button programme. I have run spybot and antovirus software and nothing. Anyone got any ideas? thank you in advance

There are many many programs out there which hangs my devices and cause the behaviour you described. pocket hack master is one of them, which strangely works for others but not my device. Anothe is Touch Commander.
I usually uninstall the software once they cause freezes.
Try installing and testing your software one at a time to isolate it.
got a feeling it could be windows live. Unfortuantly, this is probably the programme i use the most. Is there any known issue with this?

I personally have had no problem with it, but sometimes one person's experience is not definitive. Try turning it off and see what happens.
mysterious double post deleted
i uninstalled all programmes and it seemed fine but when i put windows live back on. the problem started again. im using build 10.00026 i think. is there a later version than this that could help?

I think PK ROM is likely to have the latest version, but Powell is the one who could confirm this.

Use xp instead of seven/vista
Yeah, that is correct..... and freaking weird! Damn SE, we all use Win7 by now and none of the pcs I tried (many!) worked! Only with my old Laptop with XP, I can update these crap phones!

Yes sometimes it works, but if you want a thing that "always works", XP (even virtualized) is the os to use, to flash Xperia, and to flash anything else.

Calling me a liar, Punk??? I said I (!) tried and none worked! How the freak can you say this is not true???
i still can't update even using winXP. The result still same."when the update download to 128m/128m, it stop at there and wait for a long time, it say your phone did not have enought battery." i'm very very very disapointed buying X2.
i can't make a video call,can't playing video file perfactly. there is other way to fix that?.... or should i just burn the phone in flame....
Try a different PC, to see if there's somethying wrong in the your usb port.
If even that desen't fix the problem, I'm afraid that your only option is to bring back the phone to SE for repair.
What is the predicted exlorer? If u connect to the SE Update page with Mozilla, it doesn,t work properly. I dont,t know why, but during the proces of upadting screen wrote me, that it is not possible to make update.
When i change Mozilla by Microsoft Explorer it work perfectly and update has been downloaded cerrectly.
My advice - use Microsoft Explorer, and don.t care about battery capacity. /if is more than 50 %./
By and write me.
Why use a browser for update ?
Just download SEUS and install it.
Hi.
I have got the same problem. I have R1BA023 on my X2, but I want MR2. SEUS downloaded software and started upgrading. Status bar is empty and skips at one moment to full. Then add-on says "your phone did not have enought battery", but battery is fully charged. I tried on XP and Win7, downloaded SEUS on Explorer and Firefox browsers, but it's the same. Is it a SEUS bug or is it my X2's fault ? Is there any other way to install MR2 (without using SEUS) ?
Just a couple weeks ago my EVO quit showing up as a drive on my HP dv7. Now everytime I plug my phone into my laptop I get an error message saying that the drivers did not properyly install. I also get this blue screen of death that crashes my laptop. The blue screen says something about the USB drivers. I plugged my EVO into my wifes netbook and have no issues. Im beginning to think that it might just be a 32/64 bit Windows 7 issue but I'm not sure. Thought I would post this issue to see if anyone else has had this problem.
Thanks
Jimmy

I would uninstall HTC Sync and also confirm that the drivers are uninstalled as well.
Then restart and reinstall.
Side note: How is "uninstall" a word but "reinstall" isn't?
Sorry. I left some stuff out of my original post. I went as far as doing a full recovery on my laptop. Ive uninstalled and reisntalled HTC Sync 2 times. Ive uninstalled all USB Drivers and restarted my laptop both times. HP says its HTCs fault. HTC says its HPs fault. Im beyond frustrated. Ive been having to use an FTP server to be able to transfer all of my data.
Thanks for the quick response though.

You said you're using Windows 7 64 bit?
Maybe try the 32 bit drivers?
HTC Sync doesn't auto update very well. Are you using the latest
HTC Sync 3.0.5511 from here? http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/
I also use 64 bit Windows 7 and it works. Actually, I found and used HTC Sync 3.0.5517 from somewhere. A Google search today show that this site lists HTC Sync 3.0.5551: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Mobile-Phone-Tools/HTC-Sync.shtml It says it's for all HTC devices, but doesn't specifically say it's for the Evo.
I just downloaded and installed 5551. The installation package is 151K, which is over twice the size of the previous ones, I think because it also installs a new installer and a Microsoft C++ 64 bit driver.
I just now sync'd with 5551 and it worked well. I wish there was a change log somewhere. I have had problems with it swapping some of my Outlook Contacts to first name, last name, and sometimes it completely borks my Outlook Calendar birthdays. This one worked fine, but I usually only see problems every two or three syncs.
Give it a shot, and it may fix your problems. Newer is better anyway.

I was having the same issue with the name swapping and I noticed on the Evo in contacts the view setting was set for first name, last. I changed that around to last,first and so far it's working. I also went into Outlook and re-set every one of my contacts back to last,first. I think it might have been the setting on the Evo causing the issue. Glad to see it's not just me.
Thanks for the links, mine auto updated a couple of days ago to 5517 but I'm going to try the latest one.
Hey guys, really need help here. Honest noob here so please try to understand my situation. I updated to Windows 8.1 to see what were the changes but unfortunately I realised I didn't have my activation key, so I decided to use a program called Windows 8.1 Key Finder Ultimate just to see all the features before buying the key ( I don't have money, I'm just a poor student)
So I installed it, and clicked on it. Then it prompted me to install again, which I found peculiar. So I scanned the exe and nothing was wrong. I installed the thing and tried to run it, but it did the same thing so I tried KMS activators instead. From KMSAuto Pro to KMSPico, nothing worked. Something I did along the way triggered a sound driver to install, and it definitely wasn't a Realtek driver, which is my soundcard manufacturer. I didn't really pay much attention as it was 2-3am, and I assumed it would just stop installing due to conflicts with the real driver.
Decided to sleep, went to school at 7, came back home and decided to turn on my laptop to listen to my new CD. No sound. I assumed its just WMP having issues with the CD, so I tried my other players. Nothing! Decided I should try to see the speaker settings and check vol. etc but I can't play any test tone, with the computer telling me "Failed to play test tone". I panicked for awhile but went on a solution hunt. I tried everything from a clean boot to driver update to uninstall then install, disabling audio and re-enabling, so many and nothing works. Five hours later I'm here desparate to find answers from the gurus. (I realised I have no restore points, which is really idiotic of me...)
I remembered the sound driver that installed itself, so I intended to find it and murder it. But being the noob I am, I don't know how to find the right thing in event logs and all the mumbo jumbo. Is there a way to see what changed recently, or installed recently (not only programs) or even what was running a certain periods of time (don't say task manager because I'm not looking for what's running but rather what RAN). Also, are there any ways to see all drivers installed apart from device manager and isolate them to diagnose the issue at hand?
Any solutions provided to me is greatly appreciated, and should be free is possible. I don't have any money on me and I can't find a job to support myself due to school, so please understand that this laptop is really valuable to me and I need all the help I can find here. If any other detail is needed I'd gladly provide them. And please don't condone me for my mistake and stuff, I'm still learning as I go along...

You can use the reliability monitor under control panel >system and security>action center >maintenance to see a nice time line of events.
If you have a key for windows 8, you can easily and freely update to windows 8.1 using the store (you have to install all windows 8 updates first).
It is best to avoid using fishy .exes because they can damage your windows install and even install mallware.
