Need help with activesync on Win XP SP3! - HD2 General

Hi.
Some days ago i had a problem synchronize my HTC with PC in activesync (pc could not detect HTC), so i decided to reinstall it, but that doesnt solve my problem, instead of i now getting this message "To synchronize this device, you must install 4.5 or newer on your desktop computer." but i already have activesync version build (5096). Then i tried this: Soft reset, Hard reset, tried unistall activesync again - but that doest worked ! Maybe somene know how i can solve this, I'll be very grateful.

if you want to take the small risk, try removing all traces of Activesync connection from your PC and from HTC:
On PC:
1. search for this folder (or similar):
\\Documents and Settings\...your user name...\Application Data\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\
inside it should be folder with your device name - remove it,
or just remove everything there
2. in registry remove all entries under the key (not the key):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners
On HD2:
3. It would be good to make full system backup first, or at least PIM data (contacts, appointments etc.) backup
4. DON'T remove connections in ActiveSync application or you'll lose all your PIM data
5. in registry remove all entries under the keys (not the key):
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services\Partners
6. you could aslo delete all contents inside Windows\ActiveSync folder - not sure if this is necessary but will not harm you
now restart both your PC and HD2, connect the cable and it should be just like the first time those two have met,
hope it'll work

ActiveSync via Bluetooth link [solution]

I find this solution for running ActiveSync connected thru BT via one click. I tried it on my MDA Compact and it works.
Hope it helps.
http://www.mtekk.com.au/Forums/tabid/56/postid/14926/view/topic/Default.aspx
On the Pocket PC...
1. ActiveSync / Tools / Options... / Options... (yes options twice)
2. "When cradled Enable PC sync using this connection" 'Bluetooth
3. Startup an ActiveSync connection as you normally would...
4. Now setup a shortcut to the program "windows\repllog.exe" into the Start menu. To do this
a. open up Explore in ActiveSync
b. Go into My Pocket PC
c. Go into Windows folder
d. Find repllog.exe and right click and select copy
e. Go into the Start Menu folder (within Windows folder)
f. Right click, paste shortcut - rename to something like ActiveSync Direct
Back on the Pocket PC
5. Gracefully disconnect ActiveSync.
6. Start / Settings / Buttons
7. Choose Button 4
8. Set the button assignment as ActiveSync Direct (or whatever you called it above) and click OK
9. Reset your Pocket PC and wait about 15 seconds for everything to get loaded (esp. Bluetooth which takes a little while).
10. Press the top left side button. Voila! Easy!
If you get the ActiveSync - "Port Not Available" message, it just means that Bluetooth hasn't loaded yet. Tap OK, check that Bluetooth is activated and if so, try again.
Thanks for the post. Ive been having trouble getting this to work however.

Im using WM5, and firstly i dont have the option..option menu and secondly when i try to paste repllog it tells me that the file is copy protected or something like that.
Any ideas???
Help appreciated.....
Try to use Resco File Explorer instead of M$ Explorer. When you 'right click' on Windows/repllog.exe, there is 'Send To...' -> 'Start Menu as Shortcut' option in menu.

help with activesync only com1
every time i install bluetooth usb stack, it uses new com79, com80, now and i cannot sync over bt like i did before.
How can i delete those comports?in device manager under advanced in com1, tells me that from com2-com80 are in used.?????
Any idea, thanks
remove your stack from PC, then delete all com ports except 1 & 2 , use buttons windows + break & install stack again!
in properties of each ports set different com for example com1 , ignore errors , delete free changed one! do so with each wrong port
THANKS A LOT! PROBLEM WITH COM79,COM80,COM81......FIXED
thanx rustoss, you are BIG! i dont unplug usb stack even.....i just ignore all notifications and change my only COM1, to com5, and thats it!.i can activesync by bt again.thanks again :lol: :lol:

Cannot Synchronize, cannot install or uninstall apps on Universal.

Hello.
I seem to have made a "cleanup" of the Universal file in main storage (by only removing some today items not needed, and I think I removed a file inside WMDRM folder or something.
Anyway, since that day for some reason, my Universal connects to Activesync through USB but it Doesn't synchronize. I get a message on Activesync stating that sync cannot be made.
Also, I cannot install cab files moved Directly to my device. e.g. I have a file on storage card, run is, and get an "unsuccessful" message directly.
From the beginning, I couldn't uninstall any applications (with the 1.90.94 Aku3 rom...) and I could only do it from Activesync Install/Uninstall. Although the files apear in windows/installs (or something) folder, they are not shown on the device's add/remove programs function.
I don't care about uninstalling, but Installing and using Activesync is top priority. Any clues on how to solve it without a Hard Reset?
Thanks...

activesync to same PC after hard reset and backup-restore

I need a little help.
After a crash I hardresetted my Hermes and then used SK Tools to return to a backup point. But now when I try to activesync I get a message on my PC saying that the mobile device has already synced with another PC and it requests a new name for this PC.
I haven't synced with another PC. What should I do ?
When I restore from a hard reset, I normally delete the existing activesync partnership and set this up again with the restored device. Did you delete that partnership?
how can I delete existing partnership ?
In activesync on the pc just go File->Delete Mobile Device.
At least that's how I do it
This is the other way.
I need to delete it from WM5 device.
I guess I found it. I enter Activesync software on PPC and delete the relationship there...

How to transfer contacts from Trinity to a fresh PC running Outlook 2003

Hi,
I've got a new PC and need to transfer all my contacts from the handset on to the PC. I've got rid of the old PC and of course didnt extract the contacts file first....
There must be a way of doing it as all the data is on the handset right?
I've sync'd them both up but the data doesnt come across and I dont know how to force it.
I'm a little scared now as if the handset goes down I will have lost everything!
Please help (ASAP!)
Thanks
When you create a new partnership, and the PC version of Outlook is empty, but the PPC has data, ActiveSync should copy the data from the PPC back to the PC. If you get the Conflict Wizard, elect to Merge Data. Do NOT 'Replace Items on My Device' or you will lose everything.
To safeguard your data, copy the file called pim.vol (in the root of My Device on the PPC) to a safe place before doing anything else- at least if the sync goes tits-up, you can restore what you had!
1st thing to try is just to reconnect and let A/S run (I assume you've tried that?)
Next, is to delete the A/S partnership on the PC (Menu/Remove Partnership), the reconnect the PPC and go through the New Partnership ritual again, and see if it works this time.
If that fails, it may be time to remove the Outlook data file. Its called Outlook.pst and usually resides in a hidden folder in your 'User' folder (/local settings/application data/miscrosoft/outlook). Restart the PC, then reopen Outlook, and it should ask you if you want to create a new Outlook file (or it may do it automatically- long time since I've done it, so memory a bit hazy!)
Now either make a new Partnership, or rerun A/S and see if that works.

[SOLVED] HTC Touch - retrieve contacts with broken touch screen

Hi,
I have googled for several hours and found a lot of solutions, but there's always one step, which I can't pass through!
The situation is: HTC touch, everything is working, display is working, but the touch control doesn't.
The problem is that phone connects to pc as hard drive. So I don't have access to ActiveSync - when usb is connected it shows internet sharing tab. Because I cannot control anything via touchscreen, I can't get in any settings ... so options like sync with outlook, mymobiler ... are not able to be used.
I created .cab which should change registry entry to show connection type selection when usb plugged, but I can't confirm installation (is there a way to create cab which is installed without confirmation)- I can control the phone with cursor button and red/green buttons - so I can use some programs like tot. commander ... but I can't input any values, i can't access any options on soft keys ...
Does anybody have some idea ... I'm running out options ...
Thanks
Hard reset seems to be the obvious step.
Edit: sorry, I overlooked your post title, did you consider repairing your lcd or digitizer?
Try to find the program that actually toggles the USB. Some CPL only start a program that does the job finally. In the windows directory search for *usb* with TotalCommander.
Probably also BT connection to ActiveSync could be activated for RemoteAccess?
What happens if you do not have an SD card in the device? Will it fall back from Mass storage to AS?
Total Commander can also copy a reg-file to the registry, but for that you have to be able to select the options in TC - not an option either I think.
You could also use MortScript to write to the registry - must be installed first, however.
Probably there is a program that can map the softkeys to hardkeys?
What about AEButtons+
Thanx for all advices, but:
1. I wasn't thinking the screen, because that's my sister's old phone, and I need to get her PIM into new one (and throw this one against the wall) ... in the end she can manualy rewrite contacts, because listing in people is possible with cursor - but sms, call logs etc. will be lost and I'd like to save her from hours of manual writing hundret of contacts.
2. When connect without SD, no active sync connection or other selection appears - only internet sharing.
3. Copiing file in Total Commander is impossible to finish - by holding down the cursor I get menu (open, copy, send), but to comlete process I'd have to press softkey with 'ok'
4. I cannot establish any bluetooth connction, because it always require the code, which I'm not able to write withou touchscren
5. Mort script is unfortunately not installed
6. AEButtons could be good - but as it comes 'from an unknown publisher' - I have to confirm installation - what I'm not able to ...
... I'm slowly givin' up ... disabled digitizer always brings me into dead end.
I also thought about dump ROM and run it in emulator - but I've never done this and it would probably take more time to learn it then manual rewrite of contacts ...
What about executing PPCPimbackup on the device? This will save/restore the stuff you need on the device
...unknown publisher, is it?

Right - yes/no ...
When you connect the phone to the pc, do you have access to it´s storage? If yes, just grab the file PIM.VOL. Now, install microsoft emulator and replace this file. Now you can backup (and even sync if you install activesync) with the emulator.
You will need :
device emulator 3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...af-12e3-4b2f-a394-356e2c2fb114&displaylang=en)
emulator images : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a8-1dd7-426f-a913-4f370a65a582&displaylang=en

Man! You're my (resp. my sister's) savior! I don't have access to storage, but I've used total commander - copy to clipboard / paste from clipboard on sdcard and that allowed me to download it. Now I tried to replace pim.vol in new device - Topaz with lates Energy ROM - sms are not restored, but contacts and calendar are ... thats 90% what I needed!
Anyway I'm going to try emulator to get those sms ... but I'm sutisfied for now!!!
Changing to [Solved]
THANX!
The sms should be in cemail.vol, but I can't reach it ... the clipboard unfortunately doesn't work for this file, but sms weren't the main goal ...
You're welcome buddy. I always use the emulator for this kind of thing as it is safer, will not hurt my phone.

Dajbyco, could you please explain what you did cause I have exactly the same problem with my brother's phone. The screen is dead on his HTC Touch pro 2 and we need to retreive his contacts and calendar. I've downloaded Total Commander, but I don't know how to access the pim.vol file.
Thank you!
If the Active Sync Connection still works you can do everything remote via PC.

I can't do anything since I don't see what I do. The screen is black. So I can't reach the Active Sync Connection settings.
You don't need to access the AS settings on the device if it is not in "Mass Media mode". There is a remote management software that allows to see what is on the screen of your device. The only one I know that installs without any device-side confirmations is Everywan: http://www.sparus-software.com/en/download/software/everywan-remote-support,232.html
For accessing the options for Active Sync on the PC you do that directly in AS on the PC. To get best advice, could you tell what your problem is in detail?
So most important question:
Does the device connect to the PC in "Active Sync Mode"?
Same problem - how can I copy to clipboard

Hi, I have the same problem. What do you mean you used total commander and copy to clipboard? I have total commander open but when I connect my phone with the computer it does recognise the connection but it doesn't show any storage (shows drive but no access to it). So what can I then copy and how?
Many thanks!!
