Posting this so maybe other people can profit from my experiences.
The last couple of days I've been strugling to get my HD2 synchronized again with Outlook on PC after flashing a new ROM. Never had problems getting Active Sync running after flashing.
Just so you know......I'm not a noob, I've flashed new ROMs many times, and YES, I also do a Task 29 before flashing.
Anyway, after flashing the latest Energy ROM, I tried to connect to the PC again, but WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center) just showed a big red cross with a nice comment that said: ERROR. I could see the HD2 in My Computer, could access both the Device and the Storage Card, but I was not able to set up a Partnership to be able to Sync my Contacts and Calendar.
I started troubleshooting, looking in the Windows Eventlog, Googling for Active Sync / WMDC errors, and tried all things below to get it to work again:
- disable Fast Data Sync in ActiveSync on the HD2
- deleted the Windows Mobile Network Adapter and the HTC Leo devices from Device Manager, and let them install again
- uninstalled and re-installed WMDC
- Soft Reset of the HD2
- Hard Reset of the HD2
- Did a System Restore in Vista to a point BEFORE flashing the ROM
- Flashed to other versions of the Energy ROM (including the one that was on the HD2 when it Synched without problem)
Nothing worked, so I was really getting desperate because I need my Contacts and Appointments
I then dug up my old HTC Wizard which connected without a problem
So, it had to be something in my HD2, it couldn't be the ROM because the same ROM worked before.
I didn't sleep very well last night, constantly thinking about this problem
Then this morning it suddenly hit me........
I've been using XDA-UC on the Energy ROM, but I realised that since the last time I flashed a new ROM, I had included an XML file to setup my GMail Sync via Exchange (created by Makisu).
I deleted the XML file from XDA-UC, did a Hard Reset, connected to my PC and YES !!!!!!!!
I have now established my Partnership and synched my Contacts and Calendar succesfully.
I also manually added My Exchange settings for GMail and that's working too.
Maybe it's time to start using Change Management for my HD2 so I won't have problems like this in the future
Anyway, hope this may be of help for other people that have Activesync issues.

hi,
just when i thought the 91% loading thing was a problem... here comes another one.!
recently i updatd the ROM it is now 1.52.00WWE , ROM date: 10/23/03, radio version: 1.10.00, Ext rom version: 1.03.29
after the update i realise that the following problems have occurred..!
1. Activesync is recognizing the machine initially as ctota ( default name of my imate) but getting connected as guest. i am not able to make a standard partnership
2. MSN messenger seems to be just an icon.. it doesnt open up
3. Voice command has been corrupted and does not open..!
all this of course happened after the xback up and restore happened in my sandisk 512
not sure if this a problem with the rom update or otherwise..!
did anyone face this problem before?? or is it possible for anyone to gimme a solution...!
regards,
cherish tota
when i updated my rom the same thing happent to my msn messenger
it turned out that it were because when it sync'd it got some bad stuff from the messenger update for 2002 and when i uninstalled the messenger update and installed the messenger update for 2003 it fixed it
hi,
the msn update id understand.. but what im not able to make sense is the default guest profile.,... usually asks me... if a guest machine comes to sync with my laptop if a standard relationship / guest rltnship is to be made...
also that while booting my comp showing that it cannot open activesync...!! rather surprising..!
any advice??
cherish
cant you setup a new patnership which is not a guest ?
no dude.. not able to do an active partnership at all..!!
as stated earlier... it is going in as default guest...!! HELP..!!
all my s/ws worldmate pro.. avantgo..satPPC and ofcourse the outlook is nto getting synced..!
cherish
i would uninstall and reinstall activesync and outlook
making sure it's version 3.7.1
ctota,
I am having exactly the same problem.
My XDA II synchs as a guest.
Did you figure out how to solve this problem?
regards,
Bosoud
I have found a way out!!
1. Go to Active sync without connecting your device then delete all partnerships available.
2. Connect your device and create a new partnership.
Thats it.. :wink:
Hi,
I have had problem since I have installed the new Tmobile 2.17 rom.
Not at the begining but after isntalling a few programs it started screwing up. Now I cant do proper sync with the windows PC it give me a sync error and starts going into Guest mode for syncing.
Is there a way to uninstall activesync from the wizard and resintall a clean version ?
Thank you
Any idea whats wrong when I cant transfer any files to Xperia through Windows Explorer? I open device, doesnt matter if I try to upload to main memory or storage card and system says The file XXX could not be copied. It may not exist or cannot be transferred.
Same situation on tvo computers, probably something wrong in Xperia. I know that hard reset would proly help, but it is last option...
UPDATE so tried to solve my problem and found out, that there is something wrong with WMDC and sync. When I connect device on one of my two PC, it installs driver but in WMDC is just red cross and text Error. Nothing else. Tried to disable advanced network support in USB2PC, tried to reinstall WDMC even with deleting stuff in registry. Still no help - I dont want to do hard reset, so many programs already installed and tuned
strange is that it shows in Sync Center as guest and I'm able to see files, but not upload anything nor sync data
EDIT Tried:
-reinstall WMDC
-reinstal WMDC with registry cleanup (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE...)
-disable firewall
-disable advanced network services in USB2PC settings
-run net localgroup Administrators /add Local Service (found in some thread)
-deleting driver for X1 in device manage (Mobile Devices\X1a)
-clean sync data from ActiveSync in mobile, resulting just in empty contactlist and still not being able to sync
-delete windows mobile network driver in device manager resulting in device not being detected anymore, althrough net driver shows up after conection
getting bit desperate now
So hard reset is on the way...lets see if it helps.
Hard reset should work.
I was able to sync when I first setup the x1, then I added the owner information to the device, sync failed after that. I did a hard reset and setup owner information first then sync with wdmc, sync works every time now. (I think wdmc registered owner information during initial sync to the device, I maybe wrong but I am too lazy to test my theory since I got it working now)
do you recall when you added owner information? prior or after the intial sync to wdmc.
changed owner info long time ago, after sync - it was fine.
I can recall that yesterday I used SK Tools to clean X1, and also deleted some strange files in root of memory (some with extension .vol). Dunno if it was what caused problem...
EDIT and yes, hardreset worked
i had this problem.. what i did.. opened sync center..deleted the device.. readded it through device center. problem solved?
there was only red circle with X and message Error, nothing you can do
ya this happened to me. in sync center in vista (not sure bout xp) u can deleted the device. do so, then readd it using the windows mobile device center (partnership blahblah) and it should work again :S?
No, only think which helped was hard reset. And now it happened again, getting quite mad about it
Same problem for me !!
Red circle with an X in windowss vista but all OK on my other machine (win XP)...
Maybe a ROM bug ??
I am using USA NorthAmerican generic stock ROM
Which ROM do you have ??
EU stock (bought in Czech Rep.). My also works with ActiveSync on XP, byt not with WMDC on Vista (2 machines tested). Crap crap crap - only solution I found is to reset and reinstal device
hello i just get my htc hd2 and i want to install apps and games and do all those stuff that are in this website.. (put android....etc....)
but i cant because i cannot open Windows mobile device center... i have windows 7 ultimate 64-bit OS.... i have tried thousands of methods to make it work and i still cant!!... the WMDC icon appears in the all programs list but i click it and nothing happens... also there is a folder named windows mobile and the C:\Windows... but nothing works!!... i connect my HTC HD2 and run it in Sync mode and in Storage Mode and nothing happens again !
IM SO DESESPERATE!!!
if someone could help me i would be so happy thanks...
if need more info just tell me!
Try a few things-
1-Check to see if you have the latest version of WMDC, which is version 6.1
2-Reinstall WMDC if you do indeed have the latest version
3-Goto device manager and delete your Windows phone from your PC
4-It may be your device, try a hard-reset if that up there fails
5-and finally, if ALL ELSE fails, it may be your USB connector on your phone is bad. We have seen this quite a few times, seems to be a fairly common problem.
One other possibility.... the ugly truth is that I have to uninstall my antivirus program everytime I flash my rom and create a new partnership with WMDC. UGH!! this was microsoft's only answer to the problem. Please try it before you do a hard reset.
for me it never syncs (after a new flash) until i
settings menu all settings connection usb to pc
untick"enable faster data"
if you have connected the phone before doing this, reboot both the phone and the pc and try again.
I was having what I think is the same problem. Try going to setting (the tab in Sense) and select other. There is an icon that says something like usb-computer open that and de-select speed up ActiveSync conectivity or something along thoes lines.
I was able to sync after that.

Hello all,
Im trying to flash a new NAND ROM. The Mdeejay gingerbread rom.
But i cannot get an sync connection with my phone.
I flashed my first nand rom threw windows active sync, but obviously i dont have winmo no more.
Im currently on Gauners Desire HD NAND build.
I have installed the htc sync software (with anti-virus disabled), and when i connect my phone and set the connection to HTC sync, its starts searching for sync on my laptop. This takes a while and after that it basicly tells me that htc sync cannot be found on my laptop This happens when im actually looking at the htc sync software on my laptop.
Anybody has an idea what could be the problem?
Thanks
you have try htc sync for htc desire not hd2 sync soft
download from wwwhtc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=324&cat=3&dl_id=982
I am using the software for the htc desire.
I have latest htc sync software installed.
Anyone else?
Windows version installed? XP, Vista, 7, 32b/64b? Need more info.
First thing you can try, exit htc sync on your computer (Make sure you right click the taskbar icon, and choose exit. now connect phone by USB, when your phone asks what type connection, choose htc sync, the phone will now look for the software, while its looking, run htc sync, if all goes well, it should find it.
If that doesnt work, then my first sentence stands.
Ok i have manged to get a sync now, edditing some stuff in MSconfig
(im on windows 7 ultimate) So now i have my connection, but as soon as i try to update to MAGLDR111 threw romupdateutility.exe
it says it cant find a connection, anybody have any ideas?
Nevermind, got it this thread can be closed.
Thanks guys!
Hi guys sorry but before you close the thread, I am having the exact same problem.
I flashed my first NAND Rom from Cotulla which is working brilliantly so far. However I just wanted to try another ROM but I cant get my phone to SYNC with the computer. I am using the latest version of HTC Sync for Desire
Please note that I was previously able to sync just fine..
Now when I connect the phone to the computer it says CONNECTING.... for around a minute then it just says UNABLE TO FIND HTC SYNC ON YOUR PC.... even though i have HTC Sync Installed just fine.
I have Windows XP. I have tried restarting computer and phone. Also uninstalled and reinstalled HTC Sync several times but to no avail.
Please could someone help me.... or the original poster please tell me how he sorted out the problem
You dont need the sync i found out.
If you go into the normal bootloader (hold down volume button and powerbutton)
Connect your usb, wait for the bootloader to say USB, then update to MAGLDR 1.11, and done
then just (as usual) open the 4th option in the MAGLDR menu, and flash your new rom.
Have fun
I have magldr 1.11 and I have a problem with syncing my hd2. I go into magldr menu, choose no. 4, says usb...usb, but when I try to flash the new rom, it says error, no connection. Is there a solution for this?
