ActiveSync / WMDC issue solved

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.

kendimce,
Thank you very much for this. HTC Sync installed and working fine! Without being able to sync my outlook stuff, I'd have to switch back to WinMo, but I'm keen to stick with Android now I've got over that major obstacle. Thanks again!

It works the 1st time (installed last week) and now it failed to detect my device (error message on PC: no device connected). I tried uninstall the HTC sync and drivers and reinstall it from fresh (4-5times) with no luck. I also tried many methods posted in variuos fourm and still have the same error message.
Have anyone experince this and how you resolve it? Please help.

Same here.
I get "No Device connected" on PC and "Unable to find HTC Sync" on phone.
I am on Artemis 27 and Matt c 1.7 Android.
and, yes, I am putting USB Mode into HTC Sync!
Any thoughts?
GG

Same here. Can install HTC Sync OK, but can't connect - "Unable to find HTC Sync on your PC.............." and "No device connected" messages.
I'm using Windows 7 - might this be an issue ?

only with HTC Build
HTC Sync will only work with HTC builds like HTC desire.

Hi I have a HTC HD2 and running sense.
Installed HTC sync the above version but i'm not able to sync. When i plugin my HD2 the system does not even react.
Any ideas?
Running Vista X64

Not true, I ve got it without serial number. It does not work at all though...... switching to WinMo, it DOES work. The Andriod in HD2 needs seriously still updates, you do not have any sound, no YouTube playing, can not configure the data access to my phone service.... buf........... is like iPhone actually.....

you can find these tips on htc site :
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.

Few Pointers.
- make sure the android build you are using is a sense enabled build
- check with the android rom maker, if the HTC Sync functionality is supported by
the android ROM you are using.
- make sure you start the HTC syn app first and then connect the phone to ur pc.
Following the above, HTC sync should work straight off, once you put the phone in proper mode.
I have VBN ROM(Senseless) + Darkstone froyo(most complete ROM at the time,HTC Desire Build) and it works without any errors.
Hope this helps

Hi Kendimice, I can't download 3.0.5481, can you confirm the link? I have done the 3.0.5481 upgrade from 3.0.5422 and it fails to sync. It shows connect but simply sync nothing to my HD2_MDJ_DHD v4.1. Do you have any clue on this? I try uninstall 3.0.5481 and install back 3.0.5422 and reload MCCM DHD beta2 and it fail to recognize (it was ok before I try MDJ v4.1 and 3.0.5481 upgrading).

You can just download HTCSync from the htc website:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=324&cat=3&dl_id=1058

Atleast something!

I downloaded 3.0.5481 from HTC website without problem.
I'm surpized you can have "HTC Sync" in the USB options of a non sens build (but never checked).
You can check is adobe air has not been updated. I think the HTC software need it.
I always had problem under winmo (crash of outlook after sync).
Now it's working ok with Android.
My PC config is actually:
Win7 X64
Outlook 2010 x32
DAMO 8.0.2 IF6
HTC Sync 3.0.5481
Adobe Air 2.5.1.17730
My HD2:
MDJ FroYo Matted V1.4
Kernel MDJ 7.5HD
HTC Sync stopped working when I tested the 7.1 kernel (from 6.1 to 7.1).
Impossible to connect the phone again!!!
(I don't say it's a kernel problem... I just describe what happened).
I reinstalled Android (format SD, fresh instal but back to 6.1)... same (so I don't think it was due to the Kernel update).
So I format, reinstall my PC. Then Ok.
Since then, no problem even after the latest Adobe Air Update.
Sometime I have an error message like "can't update PIM" or something like this with HTC Sync. I just restart my laptop (for info I never restart the OS, just idle it... don't know how you call it in English... it's the sleep state of a laptop).
Hope this could help...

HTC Sync older version
Hey guys,
Not sure if it was mentioned somewhere here before, but I found out (as I already read elsewhere) that with some ROMs, HTC Sync only works when you use the older version of the software (so 3.0.5422 in stead of 3.0.5481).
It didn't work for me (no recognition pc>phone & vice versa) with the latest version, so I uninstalled it. Now with the older version of the software, syncing seems to work fine for me!
Hope this helps some of you....
regards,
J

Thanks, this is wonderful. I would like to try it!

[Q] Problem with connection to PC

Hi, I'm trying to root the Wildfire using unrevoked3, but every time I connect it to my PC (I have installed the USB drivers needed) it appears as a ADB rather than an Android Phone.
Does anyone know what may be causing this?
Thanks in advance.
(Also, in Hboot it appears as Android Phone in my devices, yet when I launch into the main phone software, it becomes an ADB listed under Other Devices)

I have a problem!I installed from htc site the sync for wildfire, opened and when i conected the phone a selected Htc Sync it says:Unable to find HTC sync on your PC.Please make sure that HTC Sync is installed and opened on your computer.You can download from...
Please Help Me!

Mix, have you activated the DEBUG MODE? (settings->Applications->Development) then retry.

I had the exact same problem when I bought my Wildfire yesterday; it wouldn't work on my Windows 7 64 desktop...but when I tried it on my old XP laptop it did.
Then, on a hunch, I took the phone back to the Windows 7 desktop (without the debugging set) and it worked!
Why, I have no idea but it's all good now.

try to use PDA.net application or The Missing Sync for Android

[Q] i cannot sync my htc hd2

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.

Hi,
If you have a SENSE ROM you can use HTC Sync.
Otherwise you can use MyPhoneExplorer.

Where can I get those?

Htc sync is on the sd card if it's an htc phone but you could probably do a google search for the other program

I installed but my comp can sync nor find the driver.

You can download HTC Sync from the HTC website.
Visit the HTC website and klick on 'support'. Choose a product: any android phone e.g. htc desire s. Tab 'downloads'. There will be only one download. Download this and install

Error[202] connection, I used all proper methods, Power off phone, hold VOL down key entered into striped color window & connected USB with the device & pc. In the white screen it turned from serial to USB & after doing flash with customruu.exe always this error pops up & Pisses me off!

Hi,
It's not about USING ActiveSync to sync your phone.
ActiveSync contains the drivers used to connect phone to pc/laptop.
Same thing with WMDC.
So,all I'm saying is that ActiveSync or WMDC should be "installed" ,then the connection should be possible.
