Hi all,
Just got myself an 02 Exec and so far am pretty pleased with the device.
I've just bought it in to work with me expecting to be able to sync without issue although I need a driver
My disc is at home, and I really wanna get synced today. I've searched for the driver without success, can anyone grab the required file off their disk for me? would be much appreciated!
HI,
the driver is not all you need, as a WM2K5 device, it will only sync with active sync 4.x. So .. just download AS4 .. and sync ;-)

You need Active Sync 4.0 not a driver.
Thanks for the replies peeps, however I don't think this is the case.
I have AS 4.0 with me although it's when I first plug in my Exec that it asks me to install this driver.
With AS 4.0 installed it just can;t find my device, the same happened to me at home. I just went into device manager and browsed the offending hardware to the CD where it installed the driver and then AS 4.0 could see my Exec.
Any ideas as to where I can find this driver?
Do you have full admin rights to the PC?
I am on a locked down one where I can't change anything.
Before I got the tech dudes to install AS, the PC kept asking for drivers.
Can't say much more, that's just what happened to me.
I think the message was 'installing windows mobile device...' and then wanting the driver.
Hi mate,
Yeah sure I have full admin rights. I'm really don't think AS4.0 will solve this as like I say the same happened at home until I installed this driver from the applications CD that came with my Exec.
Anymore ideas?
Try it on a different USB port.
I see this happen with a lot of devices. Plug it in one port, Windows doesn't recognize. Plug it to the next one, and it works.
i have to turn me JJ off for 5 secs, then plug into usb and its fine, if i do it when its on i get a malfunctioning usb device pop on my pc
I`m having similare problems....
Full Admin rights
Windows XP SP2
AV4.0 installed
But keep getting "not Connected" whenever I hover over the AV4 icon.
and I have checked that my AV4 on my Exec has "Synchronize all PCs using this connection".
After reinstalling a few times.
Am very stuck....
check this out....

Many many thanks...
Seem like I need to spend a little more time on the MS Windows Mobile site.
Thanks for the help chaps.
Seems AFTER installing AS 4.0 I then went to device manager and clicked the offending hardware after which it installed the driver.
Thanks for the help
Dear All,
Please help, my new O2 EXEC is sitting here almost totally useless without ActiveSync.
I did a very stupid thing:
I plugged in the Exec via the USB cable before installing ActiveSync 4.0.
What used to happen (back inthe day 2001 etc) would be that windows would install its own driver for the portable device and then when you subsequently installed ActiveSync its drivers would not go in and hence ActiveSync would not recognise your device.
What is happening now seems like the same sort of issue in that now having installed ActveSync it is just sitting there saying no connection.
For ActiveSync 3.6 and below this is a documented problem and here is the fix
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/264693/en-us
BUT for me this does not work (well because there is no yellow unknown device in Device managers other devices).
In AUDIBLE terms
a) I get a du-duh sound when I plug in EXEC (like if you plugged in a USB key for example)
b) It shows up in the Device Manager-> Network Adapters as "Windows Mobile-based Device"
c) ActiveSync 4.0 or 4.1 does NOT give me the dulde-de-dah sound
d) ActiveSync shows no connections
Anybody any bright ideas? Surely I am not the only twonk to have inadvertently plugged in the EXEC first
Answers greatly appreciated.
BASICALLY HELP
PS: Have also looked at ActiveSync trouble shooter 2001, the ActiveSync 4.0 troubleshooting article from Msoft, tried switching off firewall, no result. Have tried deleting the Mobile-based Device, uninstalling AS 4.0, rebooting, reinstalling AS 4.0 or 4.1 then plugging EXEC,no good.
PPS: I convinced a friend to let me install AS 4.1 on his computer and then plugged in the EXEC and all was fine, so the EXEC itself is sound.
Maybe this will help:

Sorry, didn't read your message good.
Just see now you already did looked at the link....
But another idea: if your device works on your friend PC, then why not
do a clean install for the OS on your own PC?
Maybe this will solve your problem.
Dodger,
Thanks for the thoughts. Well actually thinking about a reinstall of my computer due a moments lapse of concentration is a difficult undertaking. With the backup of the on computer databases as well as over 100 applications installed, I think this would take me several person days.
Currently my thoughts are to clone the partition and then do a windows "over install" onthe clone, but logically that will not work because <of course> the whole point of an over install is that the registry and all applications are preserved.
I spent over 3 solid hours of googling, installing, uninstalling drivers yesterday trying to fix and can't believe I am the only one who has had this problem!
Perhaps somebody with a working ActiveSync can elaborate how does the EXEC show up in device manager (when its plugged in and synced), and also what device driver XP and /or Windows 2003 server would be using.
Thanks mb.
I was facing similar issue. Solution? Yes, uninstall my firewall, connect and sync with my JasjAr and then install the Firewall with Jasjar already connected !
This may help:
Open network connections on ur PC so u can see all connections.
Make sure AS (PC side) is enabled for USB
turn off JJ and plug it in to USB
Turn on JJ whilst watching the window of netwrok connections on ur PC
A new connection icon should pop up, then MAYBE dissapear again
Right click this icon, before it dissapears, and check it's enabled, then select properties
Now check the following items:
- does top box say "windows mobile based device"
- click "configure"
- under configure, is there a button somewhere (mine's working so I can't recall exactly where) that says something like "enable mobile device". If so, then you need to click this.
If this all fails, then repeat but with another USB port. The reason for this seeming waste of time is that you will get a DIFFERENT "Local area connection nn" icon, which may work for you.
I cant believe there hasnt been one mention of rebooting your PC - Which I can assume you already have done?
What OS are you running on your PC?
I have only just got my MDA PRO but this may help! as I did the same thing and for a while XP Pro wouldnt recognise the device.
Uninstall ActiveSync
Reboot PC
Install Activesync V4.0
Plug in USB Device
If there is still a problem connecting you shoudl see a USB device not recognised in your deviuce manager.
It almost seems like there is a time you have to wait before XP will respond normally to you unplugging and replugging in the USB.
Failing this you may have to uninstall Activesync and tehn remove all activesync registry keys it may have left behind! Then reboot and start again!
Just having tisproblem now, this is pïss poor of MS to still be foisting off onto us this Activesync package in such a terible state.
I've just had activesync stop working on me. It would connect but then refuse to sync anything even though it previously worked fine. I think it got upset after I booted up the PC with the Exec connected.
Anyway an uninstall and reinstall of Activesync on the PC cured the problem. Not the most robust software though.

What works for me is to turn off the handheld, and connect the cable after that. Then turn on the device if needed. Works mot of the time then.... no excuse for MS though....
Hello all,
I have just bought the Jasjar on ebay, after months of hoping and dreaming!
The unit works fine, but the twit who sold it to me has 'lost' the original CD and manual, leaving me with no way of:
Syncing to my computer (tried it, but XP demands the install software)
Working out how to use the phone element (such as sending text messages).
Generous souls that they are at clubimate, they want to charge me $60 for this information!
I was wondering if someone might be able to send me a copy of the files / a torrent of the disk, so that i can at least install it on my home computer and read the .pdf manual.
Much appreciation in advance!
Stephen
active sync can be found on the ftp
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Tools_Programs/active_sync_4.1.zip
manuals can also be found on the ftp
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Universal/Original_German_and_Englsh_Manuals_etc/
have fun with it
Many thanks.
Is this ftp to the activesync the one that the computer will install so that it recognises the Jasjar? I downloaded activesync to my pc, but when I connected up my jasjar, my computer wouldn't recognise it, because the 'Install new hardware' utility had not completed!
Aha! The ftp part of this site appears to be the possible solution to my problems. When I connect my jasjar to the pc, which software file would I direct the 'hardware installer' to though?
Many thanks for your help so far!
there shouldnt be a ´hawdware installer´... active sync should recognise the jasjar without problems...
do u have it connected directly to the pc or to a usb-hub? try doing it directly
I was using activesync 3.8 from the windows website. Could that have an effect?
When plugged it, the bubble pops up, saying Device recognised: POCKET PC USB SYNC, and then the Hardware install dialog box comes up.
I will try with the latest version of Activesync, and see what difference it makes.
Wm5 (which is on your universal) only works with AS 4.0 or higher. Check the ftp for that or download directly from MS. I recommend AS 4.1, since it is much more stable than 4.0.
ActiveSync 4.0 doesnt work with aku2 roms if i remember correctly so try 4.1 (link can be found in my 1st post in this topic)
Okay, I downloaded and installed Activesync, and it will still not recognise my JJ, saying it cannot be found. At the same time, the computer says 'USB Device not recognised'. Argh!
Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
My XDA Exec has just been replaced by O2, but my PC reports the 'USB Device not recognised' error. I suspected the new phone but I plugged it into my laptop and that works fine.
Im pulling my hair out here, its very frustrating. I have installed 4.2, uninstalled, tried 4.1, no luck.
I tried connecting with the phone switched off, no difference. Tried after both PC and phone rebooted, no luck.
There must be something in the Windows USB settings that has gotten screwed up, but I don't know enough of that area to feel brave enough to tamper with it.
Any ideas guys?
Thanks

Ah, I have a solution to my problem!
After many reinstalls of different versions, I had a brainwave, why not try syncing when no other USB devices are attached! Hey presto! It works!! :lol:
I found that my USB Skype phone was conflicting somehow, so unplugging that works fine. I'll sort the USB phone out later, being able to sync is much more important atm.
Cheers

I just upgraded my desktop software to Windows 7 from XP but now I can't sync with my HD2. I'm using 32 bit Win7 and Outlook 2007 and when I plug in the USB cable from my HD2 I get the error message, "Driver not found". Anyone else have this problem?

I'm using Vista and had a similar problem. Solved by installing Windows Mobile Device Centre. This is needed instead of activesync.
Yes - there have been tonnes of issues with Win 7. See for example this thread
I tried every possible solution. In the end, I had to re-install windows 7. That fixed it up right away.
A few of the possible solutions are USB related so do a search on how to uninstall and re-install USB drivers in Device Manager.
A pos solution.
In your control panel click on your device manager icon , scroll down to portable devices and uninstall all of the devices found within this cat.
Reboot your computer, i then have to re pair the phone to the computer. This works for me in Vista , ive found that if i use different usb slots to sync my phone things just seem to get messed up. I think this may work as well in W7, i use W7 sometimes and things seem to be simular.
Hope this helps

Hello,
since yesterday I'm experiencing serious troubles with my Leo on my desktop computer.
I didn't install any new application, but now my USB connection is reset continuously and doesn't allow any synchronization to be put in place.
I use Windows 7 Ultimate for the x64 architecture on both desktop and laptop computer.
What happens is the following: I plug the microUSB cable into the PDA and Windows detects it (sound). After a few seconds the device gets disconnected (sound) and is unavailable in WMDC. After a few seconds more, the PDA is detected again and this continues forever.
Connecting the PDA to my laptop gives no problem: I can connect the PDA to the laptop without establishing a full relationship and the two arrows appear in place of 3G/Wifi icon on WM6.5 screen.
Trying to restart PDA does not fix the problem. Rebooting the desktop computer does not fix the problem. Updating the BIOS on the desktop didn't fix the problem. Changing USB port doesn't fix. Choosing to use the PDA as mass memory rather than syncing didn't solve the problem, but the reset intervals became much longer.
Just a few minutes ago, Avast reported a strange "gszyad.exe" (AutoIt:Balero-C) to have appeared into music, videos and pictures directories, and it detected it as a virus. The last action I did before this to happen was to uninstall HP Imaging tools (which is part of my printer's drivers), but I found no information on that exe and I can't clearly see a relationship between a virus, if true, and USB reset. All other USB devices work and I see no more traces of the "infection" reported by Avast.
If I was under Linux, I would try to read system logs to seek for strange hardware events. Does Windows provide a similar facility in its Event Log system?
What can I do to restore syncing with my PDA?
Thank you in advance.
erm, have you tried deleting the connection out of active sync, not sure if its the same on win 7, but on xp you can delete the mobile device out of active sync and it lets you set it back up again,
Yes I did and it didn't fix.
However, reinstalling nVidia NForce drivers AND also switching USB port seems to have fixed. Dunno more...
