Connecting my device to my windows 7 pc does jack ****. Every time it tries to install some 'Generic Driver Serial', which then fails, and WMDC doesn't connect. I don't know why. Similarly, on the device activesync there is no option to 'sync', just bull**** about making sure i have synchronization software. WMDC seems to be a large step BACK from activesync.
You could try to change the "Enable advanced network functions"-setting in Start -> Settings -> System -> USB to PC.
I had the same problem and this helped.

Hello,
Just upgraded my 8525 to the latest and greatest ROM. Well ... greatest should really be within quotes!!!
I'm having 2 problems ...
#1) I cannot use my phone thru DUN. I select Internet Sharing. Disable ActiveSync on my PC. Select PC Connection as USB and Network Connection as My ISP GPRS. When I connect the USB cable, I immediately get a message box that New Hardware has been found (Generic RNDIS). Windows (XP-SP2) then prompts me to install the drivers. I click Next but it does not find them and throws an error that Drivers could not be found. I've searched the internet and HTC sites in vain, but cannot find anything that helps.
#2) When I connect my device using ActiveSync (4.5), I cannot get the device to use ActiveSync as a pass-thru for the internet. This results in any calls made to the internet to fail.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm back on the road on Tuesday and need to get this resolved.
Thanks

Mike,
I had tried that earlier today but it did not work. I unzipped the file and pointed the "Find New Hardware" wizard to that directory location. When I click Next it searches and finally returns with "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software".
I'm confused. Aren't the Remote NDIS drivers part of the ActiveSync install? What am I missing here?
-- Val
I have exactly the same problem, and I still didn't find any solution
I have exactly the same problem, and I still didn't find any solution
I also have the same Problem but a different situation
I would like to tether with my phone which I can do with no problem on most computers. However I have a corporate laptop that I cannot install activesynch on...So i just need the driver to install when I connect my phone via USB.
So i get the same error as the guys above me...so any fix to this problem that does not involve installing activesync would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance

Hi everybody,
Yesterday I had the same problem, but I resolved it.
First, install Activesync 4.5.
Second, when you plug your device and it ask you for the driver generic RNDIS driver, you can choose the place of this driver (don't choose automatic).
So point the "Find New Hardware" wizard to that directory location :
C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\Drivers
Then Ok (or next I don't remember)! After windows'd install alone the good driver.
Enjoy your synchronization!
Bye bye
Upgrade ActiveSync

When I used ActiveSync 3.7, this version can not recognize Generic RNDIS. I’d upgrade this version into ActiveSync 4.5, its work.

Generic RNDIS Error for Windows 2003
Hi Guys,
I am also facing the same problem but I am using windows 2003 server.
I am using HTC Touch phone. Please help me out with some solutions.
Thanks

I had this same problem with my HTC Touch Cruise. Here's what solved it:
Go to Settings > Connections > USB to PC
Uncheck Enable advanced network functionality
Then the computer sees your mobile and sync begins (at least for me).
Something worth trying...
If you look at the driver settings for "Windows Mobile Device" under WinXP it shows a file called:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\rndismpx.sys
I'm wondering if the rndismpx.sys file is all one needs to use to install the driver so that WinXP will see the WM phone as a viable device and therefore allow you to use it's Internet Connection Sharing function to give the PC a data connection to the net?

Ok I too had this problem, and refuse to use active sync as it always muck up my special clock settings. This is what fixed it for me.
As i DO have active sync installed on my desktop system, and taking the advice of the persom who posted above, i just copied the "DRIVERS" folder onto a disk (From \Programme files\Microsoft Activesync), took that to the laptop i needed to install on, and installed the driver manually, pointing to the DRIVERS folder on th CD i just made. All installed, and "Pinging" nicely!

Yep, that did the trick for me. And this was after spending two hours on live chat with AT&T which was useless.
Thanks. Who knows how long I would have been dinking along looking for a clue.

The article just tells you to install ActiveSync or WMDC.
I'm having sam problem with windows 7 64bit, and couldn't find solition, can t upgrade my rom...
Hi!
I have tried now on two computers (one old windows 2000 platforn with activesync 4.2 and the other with Windows Vista Ultimate x64 with WMDC) and on the old platform it starts to connect but after a while an error. On the new I get no connection to WMDC. I always use my USB cable. The cable works, both loads and turn my loadinglight from yellow to green. My smartphone is a QTEK 9100 Windows mobile 5.
The error occured after I did scan on the phone for duplicated files and removed them. Afterwards it just wont sync. I have tried some tools, turning of firewall, reinstaling and all of the stuff recommended on the WMDC but now I am lost
What should I do?
wwwlewis
You may have removed a critical file that you needed for syncing when you removed the duplicate files. Does whatever program you used for that have a restore option? If not, you may need to backup the files you want to save and do a hard reset.
I have tried a hard reset now and it still dosent work. Now I am deeply lost
Try going to start-->settings-->connections tab-->usb to pc and either check or uncheck the enable advanced network functionality check box and see if that fixes it.
I have the same problem...
I have the same problem, i can't sync with my pc. it only shows a balloon that said "Unrecognized Device". I can not find the usb to pc box to be checked... pls help me. thank you
I have tried to find the pc to usb tab but I just can´t find it. I am running a swedish version of wm 5, but it still should be under connections. But it isn´t.
Please note that with the "old" notebock, with vista too, i have use the Hermes without problem.
Just connect via usb and all works fine.
Now with the new notebock (same os (wm6.0 in ppc, and vista home in the notebock)) i have problems.
Vista dont recognize hermes.
so i cant connect ppc to notebock.
Some ona have idea how can i do a connection and a sync with vista.
Ps
i have install the wmdc but dosent works.
Please help.
pps
i have try to unceck enable advanced network funcionality, but when i do this i receive this error:
Fallied to disable RNDIS to use serial.
nobody can help me?
Damn
im going be crazy.
if i use internet sharing and conect the pda with notebook all works fine.
Pc find the rnids device and i can go to internet.
But if i try to sync the pc dont reconize the ppc...
welcom to the VISTA world
I've had nothing but issues with Vista and WM6 on my Hermes.
The few things I can suggest.
1) As you say Disable the Advanced networking....
2) Connect directly to a USB port, not through a hub.
3) Try soft-resetting your phone between connection attempts.
4) Remove associations between Vista and your phone.
I find that the first time I connect it everything's good, but on subsequent attempts it's hit and miss.
If you are using vista, there's an update for Windows Mobile software on the microsoft website.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
you need to install 6.1 for it in order for WM6 to work with vista.

If he is using the same version of WM Device center on both computers and i am assuming he is, then i doubt it will fix the problem by downloading the latest version as i have that version installed on both my pc's.
I had the same problem, where windows just detected the device as an unknown device and therefore wouldnt let me sync.
right click on my computer and click manage, then plug in your device and see if you have any unknown devices appearing if you do right click on it and click uninstall then unplug the device and wait 10 seconds then plug it back in, this solved it for me. Although i still have to do this every so often. But at least it allows me to sync with both my pc's
Hello,
I have my shift installed with Windows 7 Professional and everything working great (including Shift control Center). I want to liberate my ROM, and I've decided to go by golum ROM. When I run the program under W7, after checking SnapVUE, software generate: Error [260]: CONNECTION. Please restart Windows and run the SnapVUE Software Update Utility again,
I've tried many tricks, nothing work. I mention that I don't have at this stage the 3G card inside the Shift.
Please advice,
I also get the following message when I login to Windows:
"data connection failed. Please check your APN settings."
Have you already liberated your Shift?
I don't think you can flash any custom ROM's before you have. If you have not, look at this thread
Error [260]: CONNECTION. Please restart Windows and run the SnapVUE Software Update U
Error [260]: CONNECTION. Please restart Windows and run the SnapVUE Software Update Utility again,
HI, HEPPENED THE SAME WITH ME. MY SHIFT IS LIBERATE AND DONT CHANGE ROM WITH WINDOWS 7. ITS SAY : Error [260]: CONNECTION. Please restart Windows and run the SnapVUE Software Update Utility again.
PLEASE!! HELP US !!!1
THANKS,
ERNANIBMNETO
I had this, to cure it, unlike in Vista, you have to have an active WMDC connection. On the WMside use the USB tool and connect it to 7, on the 7 side let the device be found and set up WMDC. Once this is done you should be able to flash once again.
I don't thinks so.
He's flashing a ROM.
@DeReSe : did you not only liberate, but also HSPL your device ?
DISABLE USB connections in Windows mobiile device center.
Then run USB tool on the SnapVue side, then start ROM update.
But, you need HSPL first
any solutions to this error?
Solved!!
Whoa!! long have i waited to solve this issue...finally did it!
here's what worked for me:
1) MOST IMPORTANT!!
In snapview side:
Start -> Settings -> Connections -> USB To PC -> UNTICK "allow advanced network connections" (or something like that...)
2) Download & Install WMDC 6.1 (you can google WMDC 6.1)
Now you can continue as usual:
3) Enable USB Tool on snapview side, and wait for WMDC to recognize the connection.
4) If you only want to flash a custom rom, you can just choose "connect with setting up my device (or something like that...).
5) That's It!! You can now continue to flash your favorite rom to your shift.
(so happy i got this solved !!! )
Hope this helps...Njoy (-!
Hi,
I tried updating i00 rom to light ROM using the method above but still gets the error :-(...I hope we can find another way...
Thanks
SOLVED!
Hi. I think I closed this case!
I got the same problem with my Shift. When I started to flash I got "error 260: connection".
HOWTO:
WinMo: USB tool -> attach
Win: Start flashing ROM
Win: ... -> ERROR 260
Win: Right click My Computer -> manage -> devices -> find your "Shift device" without driver -> right click -> update driver -> automatically -> wait until driver has been updated
Win: Start flashing again
Voilá
Installed BsBTweaks on my HTC HD2, but now ActiveSync won't connect to my phone. PC O/S is Win XP SP2. I'm running WinMo 6.5 and have the latest ROM for the device from my provider, version 3.14.531.1. I get the message: "Critical communication services have failed to start. Try resetting the mobile device, and then connect again." I haven't yet made any changes to the device using BsBTweaks, I only installed it. Have tried rebooting the phone to no avail. I have to use Disk Drive mode to get at the pictures on my SD card. Is there a way to get ActiveSync working again? I'd probably donate to the developers if this problem could get corrected and I can reasonably figure to keep and use BsBTweaks. Thanks.

Restarted the PC - worked like a charm. Thanks a million. I can breathe again.

Troubleshooting Sync Connection with Your Computer
You can often solve any temporary sync connection problems by disconnecting your phone from the sync cable, waiting a few seconds, and then reconnecting it. However, sometimes you may experience persistent problems related to your network connection (for example, your Internet connection). You may be unable to sync your phone while there is an active network connection on your computer, or the network connection may be cut when you connect your phone to your computer. If this happens, you can try switching to a serial USB connection for your phone:
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab.
2. Tap Menu > All Settings > Connections > USB to PC.
3. Clear the Enable faster data synchronization check box.
4. Tap Done.
