ShiftRR not working with Synce - Error, please reconnect - EVO Shift 4G General

Hey,
I'm trying to use ShiftRR to root my phone (in the development area).
I installed HTC Sync and successfully synced my phone. Once it's synced, I open ShiftRR and then I get a message telling me the sync isn't working anymore and that I need to disconnect and reconnect my phone after 10 seconds.
Anybody get this? How do I get around it?
Thanks.
EDIT: Managed to root while the phone was connecting to HTC Sync really quickly...
Lucky I guess.

you need to download htc sync then delete just htc sync the application..
i guess shiftrr needs some of the software but not htc sync, find out more at wowmobilestorm.com its this guy who took it off xda which might piss some ppl off

Problem with Activesync

Hi there,
Over the last few weeks I have had a problem syncing mu phone, I am able to connect and browse and install software via my PC but it refuses to sync, it starts good by saying that it is looking for changes, then it asks me if I want to combine, overwrite and so on and then after I make my selection it simply says 'Synchronization Error' and remains connected but that is it.
I have tried upgrading and downgrading activesync and my ROM, but what ever I do I get the same result, I have tried on another computer also and still the same.
Please help me as I am going mad, it is not quite a brick, bu is not far from it if I can not get my information on to it.
Cheers
Update
After going back anf forth with versions, I managed to do one full sync ( thank God, now I have my data back at least). but now again, it is failing,WHY ? connection exists, browse and so on works, only the sync does not work.
Do you have bluetooth?
I has a similar problem, I setup a sync profile with my PC via bluetooth and synchronised it through BT. After plugging in the cable afterwards my Syncing was fine...
worth a try
syncing problems
I had the same problem but I seemed to work through it by removing the Mobile Sync 4.5 and re-installing it. It looks like it's not working, but after the install bar goes about half way, everything is on, including the calendar and the Outlook Database. Good luck!

Hi
We had the same in our cie with the central exchange server and it was happening for all mobile users.
Our central team did something on the exchange server but I don't know what, but for sure it's coming from exchange because it was solved centrally.
If you manage you exchange server I can find out what was done exactly by our support team.
same happens to me with normal outlook (no exchange)
is there any fix?
actice synck error
me as well, i have no exchange server and i face this problem every other day.
hope to find a solution for this...
One solution is to keep your Windows XP/Vista always updated, with the latest sercurity patches.
no, my vista is always up to date.
That's not the solution
I had problems with AS any time ago, and disabling Tasks syncing solved problem....
ok, I'll un-check TASK sync and see if it helps.
You run a different ROM though. Maybe it's ROM related.
I'll keep ya posted
Hi, am Santo, you mast going to controlpanell, sistem, hardware, device manager, end go to portable device, and uninstall windows mobil with-the cable mini usb to device, when is finisch uninstal end reinstall the cable mini usb to device, then gest a moment to install the driver. install activesync when is necessari. ex for the write. Ciao alla prossima spero di esserti stato utile. Venite a trovarci su: http://www.batista70phone.net
whatwhat??
ok my friend, I understand that you want me to de/install the ActivSync Program? I use VISTA, I havn't installed activesync at all. It was build in, I suppose.
Well, the tip with deactivating TASK-sync helps for now
So far, so good...
Okay, so I did not read everyone's response here, because I have been staring at forums for days to try and find the answer to this very same question and I am starting to go cross-eyed. I found two things that have worked for me, one is guaranteed and the other has worked thus far...will update if it fails.
First, and I read this on another forum and got this answer directly from HTC's customer service. It is not the ideal solution, but it does work guaranteed. If you go into your settings for the sync program on your phone, or on the computer, and tell it to "NOT" sync your desktop email this problem will disappear. Now, what I did last time was change that setting so I could back up everything else and not lose any appointments and phone numbers I put in, then I went back and reversed it so that I could get my desktop email on my phone too. This is something I like to have so it is not ideal, having to do this every few days or so is a pain.
The second solution is one I stumbled upon. I went into the settings for syncing and changed it from, if conflict change on my device - to if conflict change on my computer. The problem, I believe is when there is a change on the desktop email everything gets all screwy. So I did that and haven't had the problem since then. I should note however, that I am not keeping the phone plugged in for long periods of time. I do one of two things, either I plug it in and let it sync then disconnect usb connections allowed (this lets my phone charge but doesn't let it sync repeatedly) or I just unplug after it has synched up.
I don't know if this will work for everyone, but I hope it helps. Good luck and God bless!

HTC sync. Is it me or the Android software?!?!

It's like hit or miss every time I try to sync with my laptops.
I have 2 laptops, & I find it difficult to get my phone synced on the first plug. I find myself trying to sync again & again & I have to switch the laptop but having the same problems.
Sometimes it syncs, sometimes the phone couldn't find the HTC sync on the laptops.
What am I missing?
Please advice.

Hi dsymbol,
You are not missing anything. Unfortunately HTC Sync is very buggy and usually need to reboot PDA or PC to be able to sync.

HTC Sync taking very long to connect and sync

I've had my device since Tuesday and I'm loving the experience so far with the exception of this one problem - HTC Sync. I've searched this forum but couldn't find a solution. Basically I've installed the latest version of HTC Sync which installs fine on win7 64bit, however when I connect my phone to my PC, I need to manually run HTC sync and then it sits on the version screen saying that it's updating the HTC library. About 15mins later, I get the device screen were I can then select my device and what I want to sync. At the moment I just simply want to sync a few of my WM playlists (everything else syncs fine via google, FB etc). I managed to do this once and it took nearly an hour to sync 65 mp3.
It doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem but it could be that I've got a setting on my phone that is incorrect. Thinking that it might be my 8gig storage card, I formatted it and started a fresh (all original content was backed up first). This had no effect. Surely it's not going to take hours to sync my phone every single time?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you

[Q] Can't sync with HTC Sync

Following installation of CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC1
Original vodafone rom of 1.6 allowed HTC Sync, removed HTC sync from device and its automatically reinstalled it when using the usb connection cable.
However i only get a usb storage mode, not a 'HTC Sync'
Any ideas probably something really stupid (had the phone for 24 hours so be gentle)
Will
HTC Sync is a HTC Program that will only work with the stock ROM, because once flashed, your device won't have any HTC software. It's like if you wanted to use HTC sync with a non-HTC android phone
If you want a good sync software then take a look at MyPhoneExplorer. I have used that over a year now
I'm having the same problem with Htc sync . I have called HTC about the problem we done everything we could do the error said could not find HTC Sync on computer , I'm running windows vista . Micorsoft sync can't find the phone at all . Any help !
HTC Sync
I gave the my phone explor thing a go that didn't find the phone . How ever the other problem is about the rom . This is something that could maybe the problem when the update or a update that came over the air in the passed month .
