beating dead horse: cant USB sync w/ activesync

8525, sync w/ USB 5% of the time, no changes seem to change anything.
did the notification edit here on xda
uninstalled/reinstalled activesync
upgraded to 4.5
deleted partnership
uninstalled firewall
checkdisk
ran the resync program
installed office, .net 2.0, activesync 4.5 on entirely different computer
[edit: added for clarification]
tried unchecking the advanced connection box in start>settings>connections>usb to pc
[/edit]
when connecting to either computer, i get the "usb device seen" chime, but not the "i can do something with this device" jingle
get the "active sync cannot connect with this device" popup, run the diags and everything is okay. ms site politely informs me that the cause of my problem is that the device cannot connect to the pc.
anything i missed? i gave up on it 6mo ago when i got the phone bc i got bluetooth sync to work but now i want to flash to wm6
Thanks

start>settings>connections>usb to pc.
Untick the box. See if that helps?

Try this procedure step-by-step
1. make sure your phone is not connected to the computer in any way
a. Bluetooth off
b. WIFI off
c. USB cable not connected
2. Run spybot S&D (I always do this when the computer misbehaves - and make no mistake your computer is misbehaving)
3. Terminate all other running programs
4. Hook your phone to the usb cable and the usb cable to the computer. (don't worry if it syncs or not)
5. Open Device Manager and select Network Adapters
6. Uninstall the Windows Mobile Device
7. Disconnect the Phone
8. Open the Control Panel "Add/Remove Programs" and uninstall Active Sync
9. Reboot the computer
10. Connect to the internet and get a fresh copy of Activesync 4.5 and install it.
At this point if you can back up your PIM to the storage card or something it would be great because I suggest you do a hard reset of the phone. go to the settings page and select System. Tap the clear storage icon and follows the instructions to reet the phone.
11. Reset phone as above
12. When phone reboots, connect it to the computer via the usb cable.
Phone should sync from now on.
Good Luck
PS.
MrVanx is right, that could help but it will limit your phones capability. However if my method fails that may be your only option short of reflashing the phone with some other ROM.

I've tried MrVanx' solution also, just forgot it in the original post. It seems to sync more often when the box is ticked anyhow.
I don't have a problem with hard reseting or flashing. I'm going through this hassle for the sole reason of flashing to schaps 4.31
Ill try that when i get home tonight

Say I do a sprite backup before hard resetting the phone. After I do the hard reset, I restore the sprite backup. Will my lack of syncing problem come back? I assume it will.
After the hard reset and the initial sync on the "fresh WM5 install," I should proceed from there with the WM6 install, correct?

I have a TyTn II and experiencing a similar problem as sook..
I did all the steps except for these:
5. Open Device Manager and select Network Adapters
6. Uninstall the Windows Mobile Device
The thing is i cant find my mobile device anywhere in the device manager or in the network adapters subcategory. Any ideas?

Yes proceed. And no I don't think the failure to sync problem is related to the backups so that should be safe

Not sure how a TyTN II looks to the device manager. try this instead:
open the device manager and click on the USB devices subcat.
Then connect your phone to the computer via the usb cable. pay attention and uninstall the usb device that appears when you hook up.
Then rescan. Reboot both the computer and the phone and see if that helps

Before you try flashing make sure you have the Hard-SPL V7 bootloader installed.
You can flash without activesync tho.... activate the bootloader and connect your usb cable. If the tricolor screen indicates a usb connection then you can run the RUU wrapper, follow the usual steps and it should flash just fine.
You activate the bootloader by pressing and holding the "Power" and "OK" buttons and depressing the reset with your stylus (the OK button you use has to be the one next to the jog wheel)

I can't find my Hermes in device manager either. I'll try doing the flash through the bootloader i guess.

Did you try un-checking the "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" box as mentioned in Reply #1? That fixed it with mine. It would sync with my WinXP work PC, but not my WinXP Home pc, unchecking that box fixed it. Been fine ever since....

AT&T 8525 USN Syncing problem ...
I had the same problem too ... fortunately I had a simple fix.
I made sure that I only use the USB/mini-USB cable that came with my AT&T 8525. If I use a USB that came from a different device (like another phone or camera), it doesn't want to sync, except once in a blue moon.
The other USB cables may charge it, but won't sync it.
I've read elsewhere in this site that our 8525's can be picky with their pinouts on the USB, so this might be the issue. I hope it's something this simple for you!
Hope this helps!

it's a thought. ill dig through my drawer of cables and pull out all the usb/mini usb cables. no idea if I'm using the original or not.
however 6 mo ago when i gave up on the thing the first time i know it was the correct cable

sometimes cables go flakey, but the cable we use is standard not proprietary so any A - miniusb cable should work.
Anyway the procedure you outlined above should have worked, am I to understand you still have the ATT ROM? If so talk to them about this problem.
If not access the bootloader again and hook up your usb cable. Does USB appear at the bottom of the screen?
Are you using the usb adapter that came with the phone? If not try to go back to that. The pinouts are the same as a miniusb but the form factor makes for a better fit and regular miniusb jacks can cause nonsyncs.
If you aren't getting "USB" at the bottom of the screen it is either a bad cable, a bad usb port (either at the comp or your phone), bad usb drivers, or just bad hardware in the phone. If any of these is the problem, all you can do is talk to AT&T hopefully before the warranty expires.
Sorry I wasn't more help mate.

The cable I've been using is the one that came with the phone. I tried the cable that came with my mp3 player and got the same results.
I do still have the out-of-the-box ATT Rom, however, the steps you outlined did not fix my problem. I did notice that my device appears as "HTC USB Sync" which I found strange. Is this normal?
USB does appear when I connect the phone in bootloader to the computer. I've tried two USB ports on two separate computers. Both computers are completely up to date with MS and drivers.
I suppose I'll go bother the people at ATT.
If I'm done with the ATT Rom, can I do all the flashing through the USB connection to the bootloader?

hey guys im having the same problem (TyTN II) it'll charge, but wont sync or show in device manager (i am using the original cable though)
i've tried to go into bootloader, but it doesnt say 'usb' at the bottom like it should, instead it says 'serial' i've tried diff usb ports, i've also unticked the advanced network box, softreseted, and hardreseted still no go...any ideas?? (im using alex's wm6.1 rom, could wm6.1 possibly have something to do with it?)

ActiveSync BOOSTER

HLEP..my xda exec doesn't load

Hello.
ok so i plugged to sync it and my computer shows the programs installed and if i want to edit them. so all of the sudden by mistake it started to delete some programs so i just quickly pull the usb wire out and reset it...now a blank white screen that wont go further.
so i downloaded tomal latest one and tried to re do it and now its not going anywhere. i reset, hard reset and tried it all...went to the wiki and even the mtty thing doesn't show usb under ports.
when i now boot it up, it shows the white screen then a black screen with some lines in the middle and at the bottom right corner it shows the specs as follows:
R 1.00.00
G 42.45.P8
O D.08.81 TML
try everything but nothing is happening.
can someone help!

just adding from what is to other posts..looks like its not only me with this problem..i think the rom's are messed up and now the processor is screwed or something
1. Which operating system do you have (Xp or Vista)?
i am using XP pm my PC..but ideally i have vista on my laptop. i just use the xp on my pc for updating rom cuz vista sucks for this
2. Have you disabled "allow usb connections" in Activesync?
yes i have disabled it and tried
3. Did you try to remove your SD and SIM card?
yes i removed both of them
4. if you can't enter bootloader, is your PDA Recognized by your PC over Activesync or without activesync?
computer doesnt recognize that anything is connected. if i reset it alot of times and stuff sometimes a ballon will come up saying the usb device isnt recognized

Have you tried Doc format or MTTY?
In the Wiki it´s explained both process
Hope it helps,

Problem with USB connections

Hi, I seem to be having some trouble trying to update to the latest 6.5 ROM. It says I have a "Error 260: USB Connection".
I also get the same error trying to flash to HardSPL, it says I should make sure it is synced, when it is. I also tried installing the "enablerapinew.cab", and another computer/another cable cord. All the same problems.
I think it may be because in my USB to PC menu, the option to "Enable Advanced Network Functionality" is ticked and grayed out. So I can't untick it.
I tried changing the driver in the registry to the USB Serial driver, but that didn't even sync.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Since this is your first post;
Check here.
Tonnes of info on this error.
The alternative is to flash from SD card. Instructions in flashing guide on Wiki.

I'm having the same issue... mine started after i installed a cab file that allows all of myTouchflo screens to have the same wallpaper.... but now my usb connection on th phone does not work. Even in bootloader when i plug in the USB it never recognizes it and i've tried multiple cables and multiple workstations any help here would be great!

Hard reset if nothing else works.
Then you will know whether it is a hardware failure or software related.
I've seen anything from bent pins, lose USB on circuit board, bad cables, Vista vs XP....etc and the list goes on of possible causes for this issue.

Well it still charges and the phone still reads the storage card because i was able to flash it from the card but the computer will not recognize it as a USB device therefore activesync will not work and i cannot access the storage card when its in the phone

Reinstall ActiveSync...maybe...
Regards

Hi!
I have exactly the same problem.
Connecting the TD2 with my PC does not do anything.
Its the same issue with my 2nd PC and othe cables.
Charging works but no USB connection.
I think the USB connector on the Phone is broken.
I allready contacted HTC support but no response yet.
I will post again when ive got some news.

SD-Rom flashing
Hi ya all,
Try to flash it from your SD card, have a look here: http://www.tomlenferink.nl/component/content/article/1-latest-news/77-windows-mobile-65.html
Don't forget for Windows XP you need Active Sync and for Windows Vista and 7 you need Windows Mobile Device Center.

ROM Upgrade fails when ActiveSync disconnects

Boo Hoo ... I love my HTC-HD2, (despite all the grief HTC should have avoided inflicting on us), ... and so I was really looking forward to the 1.66 ROM Upgrade. BUT it won't load for me...
I downloaded the ROM ("GCC & Egypt" version out of Middle-East & Africa site - I'm an expat living in Dubai), connected my phone to my PC by USB & ActiveSync, ran the ROM.exe on my PC, carefully ticked and clicked my way through all the dialogue boxes and when I hit the last "next" button to launch the ROM upgrade, ActiveSync decides to disconnect leaving the phone hanging in the tri-clour bootloader mode and 10 seconds later, (with the connection dropped), I get Error [266] UPDATE ERROR (see attached screen shot).
Happily a quick restart after removing the battery restored the phone to its un-upgraded state. Thinking I may have tweaked something I shouldn't have on my phone (with loaded software, reg-edits and xda-tweaks), I hard reset it back to the original factory 1.43 ROM condition and retried the 1.66 Upgrade; but no go - same ActiveSync disconnection/bootloader hang. Tried again with firewall and virus protection turned off; and again on a different PC; and again and again holding my tongue in every conceivable different position - but no joy and now I have a bald patch from all the hair I pulled out.
I might just be thick and missed something, (though - as a last resort - I did read the instructions seven times), ... so I'm desperately seeking assistance. Any help would be greatly appreciated ... as I'm finding it difficult to suppress the rising anger and loathing I developing for Team HTC - who have now predisposed me to blame them for everything that goes wrong including global warming; - this is turning out to be pretty much like my relationship with all the old Landrovers I've owned - but I digress - can anyone suggest a solution or point out my error ... before I send the less than complimentary email I'm drafting to HTC, who will then have to blacklist me from buying the HD3 and then I won't have anything to complain about, (because my current Landrover Discovery 3 is uncharacteristically perfect !!).

That's because Windows needs an extra driver for the phone in bootloader mode. It is then no longer connected via Activesync.
Put your phone into bootloader mode, connect it to your PC, wait for the driver to install, then flash again (while the phone is in bootloader mode).

ROM Upgrade Utility / Phone connection problem persists
Thanks for the advice; but still have a problem.
PC connects and recognises the phone via USB connection in bootloader mode(so I assume driver has loaded properly) but ROM upgrade utility still stalls with error message saying "Update Utility cannot get response from your PDA Phone".
Several attempts to run Upgrade Utility while phone is in bootloader mode all fail; sometimes with no detection at but once or twice it manages to detect the phone but doesn't obtain any status info and ultimately fails to communicate properly, always ending up with the Error message noted.
Starting think I have a hardware problem ... oh no ... will have to deal with HTC Middle-East (which will mean numerous miscommunications, 3-4 week waits, phone being lost/misplaced, after 2-months being told there is actually no problem - must all be in my head ... think I'll just slash my wrists now and save the aggravation.)

What version of Windows are you using? If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 64 bit you may need to install the required drivers by yourself, rather than automatically updating drivers.

Have tried on two systems:
1. Win XP (32bit version with Service pack 3) running as virtual machine in Parallels 5.0 on an iMac OS 10.6 (snow leopard) - yes I've ventured out of the shadows into the light.
and
2. Win XP (32bit version with Service pack 3) running on a standard PC
Both seem to connect, bootloader on phone shows "USB" and under Control Panel/System/Device Manager the HTC Device shows as a USB Root Hub device "working properly" ???

Strange. I guess you have tried using different USB ports, and not using a USB hub port. Are you using the stock USB cable that came with your HD2?
You might also try flashing a ROM with your storage card. That should bypass your USB problem. You can find instructions here.
Flashing Via MicroSD Card
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

Yes; the first thing I tend to suspect is the USB Hub or ports on peripherals, but I also tried virtually every direct connect USB port on both machines.
and
Yes, I'm using the standard HTC micro-USB cable ... BUT whilst waiting for my second HTC cable to arrive I have also been using a micro-USB from a Jabra SP700 (car speaker) which "looks" identical but only charges my HD2 and doesn't work with ActiveSync ... so now I'm wondering if it is slightly different, maybe it has damaged the terminals on the phone - though would've thought that all micro-USBs plug in the same even if terminal configs differ resulting in connectivity differences ???

I do not understand all the mechanics of it, but no, not all micro-USB cables are the same, apparently some do not carry enough current, or some such thing. I am searching for more information for you now. If I find it, I will post it here.
For the life of me, I cannot find the information I was looking for. I read somewhere that others solved the problem by just disconnecting and reconnecting the phone during the flash process when the error occurs.
Well try another HTC cable as that sure seems to be suspect now. If all else fails, I would try flashing through the memory card method.
Keep us update. Hopefully soon you will get what you want.

Success!!! Flashing from a 3rd (more powerful) PC, went without a hitch and I'm now up and running.
My observations for what they're worth:
1. As noted by "FreyBerry", when running the Upgrade Utility from a PC using an ActiveSync connection to the phone, the connection gets dropped when the phone goes into bootloader mode and the PC is supposed to detect the phone as a USB device and reconnect - loading the appropriate driver. If driver and/or connection fails to load quickly enough the Utility times-out and you get the error message.
2. Though my USB cable may have been my problem, it seemed to work flawlessly on the 3rd PC. So other possibilites could be:
3. On the 1st attempt, running WinXP as a virtual machine inside an iMac, the USB-device re-connection doesn't happen fast enough as the Mac and PC inside the Mac arm-wrestle over which OS will pickup the connection.
4. On the 2nd attempt, using my office PC, our network/virus protocols/firewall or simply the aging PC may have been too slow or obstructed in reconnecting.
If the problem re-occurs I'll be opting for the SD-Card Flash method you suggested.
Many thanks for all the help ... I can already feel my pulled-out hair re-growing. Cheers.

Windows 7 seems to be the problem. I have the same problem if I want to upgrade the ROM on Windows 7, not on Windows XP.

I never succeeded in flashing from a virtual machine on OS X.
@wereldbol No, it should work fine with Windows 7, both 32bit and 64bit.

Just last week I flashed a rom on a Vista x86 no problem. Now I've got Windows 7 x64 on a brand new computer and I'm now getting error 266. I don't have the option of using the old computer so I'm lost on what to do. I was already even able to flash HSPL3 to my wife's phone on the Win7 pc and didn't have this kind of trouble. But now I can't install a rom.
The device drivers installed. If anyone has any help. It would be much appreciated.

[Q] PC won't recognice my Wildfire.

My PC won't find my Wildfire. The problem I have is that it recognices my phone as a "unknown usb device" and I won't be able to transfer stuff between the SD-card and the PC (very annoying as I can't really move music).
I'm running Cyanogen Mod (the stable released 12th of december but had this problem for a while now). It's rooted with unrevoked and the HBOOT usb drivers won't work (reinstalled vista on my pc).
So what should I do?

When you plug your wildfire in, up in the top left hand corner(on the notification bar) you should see two little icons pop-up, One will be telling you that you have connected your phone to a power source and it is now charging, the other allows you to turn on usb file transfer.
Drag down you notification bar and click the one that says something like "file transfer" and it should open a new window... there should be a button at the bottom of the page which allows you to toggle the file transferring on and off, remember to turn it off before you take your phone out, or it will bug the next time and you'll have to reboot your phone and your pc to get it working
Hope this helps,
note* if this doesn't work there is a driver you can download which might make it recognise it, but I believe the above solution should work for you!
Edit:
If you still can't find it i'll upload a screenshot when I get home

try installing the hboot drivers again.
that solved it for me when my phone wouldn't be recognised, funny thing was it stopped recognising after i was charging my auntie's ipod. LOL

I would reinstall the drivers but it doesn't show up as a "Android Device" (or what it's called) in device manager.
I don't even have HBOOT USB as an option on the bootscreen. (with the USB plugged in)
UPDATE: Installed and uninstalled HTC Sync to get the drivers. Still an unknown usb device on which I can't install the special HBOOT drivers and still no HBOOT USB on boot screen even when plugged in.

If your phone is rooted, HTC sync could be your problem.

Had the same problem.
This is how I solved it, from the HTC support page:
Tips 1:
If you cannot see the HTC Sync option when you connect your phone to the computer via USB, please follow the
Instructions below:
1. Make sure you select USB Debugging in Settings > Applications > Development before connecting your phone to the computer
2. Connect you Phone to the PC and wait 20 seconds for your phone to install HTC Sync on your phone.
3. Unplug the USB sync cable. Wait for 5 seconds. Reconnect the Phone to the PC using the USB cable.
4. Select “HTC sync” and wait for HTC Sync to recognize your Phone. This process could take up to a minute your first
time connecting to the computer.

Or just install pdanet on both computer and phone, it will automatically install the drivers too. After that you can easily uninstall pdanet from both computer and phone, the drivers will stay installed.

hello, I had the same problem, cm since I upgraded to, I can not sync my windows with wildfire, and I found an alternative way to synchronize your PC and the wildfire MyPhoneExplorer excellent! really good!

I'm having the same problem, I can't access my Wildfire through my PC.
My PC recognizes the device but I can't access the SD-Card as it says 'Please insert a disk'. It's just charging, no option to establish a connection to the disk drive.
I tried several things, including the USB-debug mode which didn't work out. With MyPhoneExplorer I have a connection to my phone (can see calls, messages and memory status) but when I want to view the files on my SD-Card it pops up an error message saying "OBEX protocol couldn't be initalized! Phone didn't answer'.
Please help me how to connect my Wildfire again!
