Everyone's having problems lately with the new Roms and sync w/ Vista. I've used this on my last 5 Roms and it has worked every time.for WMDC (vista activesync) to work go into the device ID and name the phone "Pocket_PC" exactly how I typed it........no qoutes. ....oh and BTW make sure your Schaps Config also names the Device Pocket_PC
Let me know if it works for you
UPDATE!!!
ADDED: remove the advanced config program from your phone that works also!!
Any luck anyone?

I don't have anything running vista, but it's something nice to put in the memory banks just in case I ever run across the problem.
Maybe someone will give it a whirl.
Thanks for the tip!
Don't have a Vista box here @ work, but will try it later tonight. I wasn't having as much as an issue with it as some people. Sometimes I would have to kill mobsync and restart it for it to work.... I'll give this a try and see
Haven't had any problems synching with my Vista 32bit but if I do I'll try this..thanks
No Problem with Vista64 SP1
I have my 8525s named as such and have not had a problem synching or flashing with either my Vista64 SP1 desktop nor my Vista32 SP1 notebook. Thanks for your post, however!
This is weird because i have been having this issue lately too. Also my father with the same phone and different computer is having the same issue.
Seems to happen when im switching roms. FYI iv tested many Minella2d roms.
questions from a noob
I just got this phone, and my only other ventures into ROM changing was a Motorola ROKR E6 seems similar but I am trying to figure all of this out without a users manual, software disc, just by reading and trying to download.
My questions are how do I change the name of my phone. When I power on it says that it is pocketpc I already went to microsoft and downloaded the info for viista wdmc but I don't think that the computer recognizes the phone other than the auto play feature.
THanks
Tried your fix and, I am afraid, it didn't work for me. My Hermes still fails to sync after the intial setup.
not yet
I only changed the setting in the Shaps advanced settings under Friendly Name... and it still doesn't work... what is the other place you have to change it? thanks!
followed all steps u said and still no luck
not connecting to my PC is killing me

Go to Settings-> system -> about -> Device ID
also make sure that you delete any previous sync info from your computer

after you are able to sync again,the activesync green and yellow icon will pop up on your task bar just open it and delete the old partnership.

if your phone is connected your good to go another way you can go to activesync is in Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Sync Ceter
I am not sure if I should post here or under Schaps' rom thread. I have Schaps 4.31 rom. For 4 days now my 8525 stopped syncing with the computer, but in the same time my contacts and my events/calendar on the phone disappeared. I reinstalled the rom again, I reinstalled the Windows Mobile 6.1, with no effetcs. When the computer odes the first sync and set-up it says that I don't have the outlook installed. I have it on the computer, and on the PDA I have the office. So I am kind of stucked. I tried the Pocket_PC ideea, but the only thing now is that the Windows Mobile Center stops working in the middle of syncing, and ... no results.
Thanks for help

it connected once and only once. After that i have to uninstall the device in device manager, unplug the phone, soft reset the phone, plug it in, and let it reinstall the driver. this happens every single time i need to connect to my PC.
VERY frustrating
Vista and sync issues
I have two 8525 phones - under Vista, one would sync, one would not. I kept getting the RNDIS error and unrecognized device. I connected the one that was good, and went to the device manager to get details about the drivers used.
I connected to one that did not connect, and got to the point where I could specify the driver location, pointing it to C:\Windows\WindowsMobile worked for me.

HI! After I flashed my TyTN second time, Active Sync on my home computer and my work computer detect the phone and freeze with "Retrieving settings" dialog.... I thought it has something to do with the phone, but on any other computer that I not synced before , my laptop or new xp and vista instalations on other partition on my home computer(same computer and same cable, and same software installed!) it sync perfectly.
I tryied to find any residual registry or files to delete (i delete the profiles in document and settings) but can't find anything to solve this. I tryied reinstalling Active Sync 4.5 but donst help either.
Active Sync troubleshooting dont solve anything.
Someone know a workarround o what files can be creathing this ?
What do Active Sync while displaying "Retrieve settings" ?
Go into Start>settings>connections>usb to pc
untick the box...then try.
Thanks but dosn't help. Cannot enter that option, and I can sync on others pcs and other o.s. (in another patition) on the same computer without changing anything on the pocketpc.
I googled and found lots of peobple with the same trouble and no one find any solution.
PS: I dont have any firewall and tested switching off all networks interfaces. I can ping the pocktpc assigned ip perfectly.

Works for me (HTC Wizard, WM6, ActiveSync 4.5), thanks
Hi All, I have a Hermes with WM6 and have just installed Vista Ultimate and am not able to get my Hermes to Sync.
Vista claims it does not recognize the device . . . I have tried via USB & Bluetooth. Any ideas how I can resolve this?
Thanks in advance.
Same thing happen to me the first time what ROM did you use? I just use Fun key rom and everything works great.
Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed?

Even I have wmc6.1 installed, my computer doesn't recognize my Hermes starting from build 1921, it opens it as a storage device only, but no syncing !!, downloading Starbase's ROM right now and will try...
Vista has issues with everything its a pile of *beep*
I am also having similar issues. I just got my new laptop that runs Windows Vista Business and I can get WMDC 6.1 to sync and see the device but it will not load my contacts and calendar onto the latop. Its becoming very frustrating and I'm not sure why it won't sync the data. I'm running the vp3g 3.62 rom on my phone.
Try this...
Click...
Start-> Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC
Uncheck the box "Enable advanced network functionality"
if it is already unchecked, then try checking it. That seemed to work for me when I had problems with WMDC.
Still the same results for me. My phone can connect to the computer... it just won't sync the data.

Install Windows Mobile Device Center for Vista from Windows Download center. Then everything will work fine. It is my experience.
One thing that might help from my experience:
Take out the microSD card. I had some problems with it inside my phone - no sync. When I took it out everything worked fine! Then I formated my card and problem was solved... don't know what it was all about.
Last month i uninstalled the wmdc and then reinstalled it... i got the connection right but not always...
THen last week i had to reinstall windows and then when i did and update , i got an all new WMDC. This version works fine and good... No issues now...
I have the latest WMDC and have tried everything so far mentioned still and still no sync!?!
Very frustrating.
Any other ideas? Am I missing something really basic.
I have done something right!
After downloading WMDC finally the Jasjam was recognised however when trying to sync the following error occurs:
"Cannot connect with current connection settings. To check your connection settings, select Start, then Settings, then Connections."
So i went to that part of my phone but have no idea what I should be checking!
All help with this is much appreciated (if only things would just work )
Dear All,
My Hermes suddently can't sync with my PC. I don't remember when is the last time it could sync with PC (either before upgrading to Vista service pack 1 or before repairing the flexible cable of my Hermes)
All contacts, calendar, Task, and notes on my Hermes gone and can't be sync with PC which contain all of these.
I've tried to connect-disconnect Hermes, reinstall windows mobile Device Center for Vista 32 bit, soft reset Hermes --> still the same, can't sync.
Every time connection between Hermes and PC on, Windows Mobile Device Center turns to "Error" or "connected" with "Set up your device" link.
Every time I click the "set up your device", It stop while "setting up partnership" at 45% with message "Changes to syncronization settings with Server ActiveSync could not be made at this time". After I click OK on the pop up message, it goes to neverending syncing mode.
Thank you for your help.
Hermes:
Windows Mobile 6.1
ROM version : Pays ROM
ROM date : 11/06/07
Radio version : 1.47.00.10

I have the same problem. even redid my whole computer. I am running vista ultimate. I tried several roms that worked before but no success.
@cloud_kjo
Did you try to uncheck "USB to PC" in the settings/connection? Did you pair your phone with your PC and try syncing with Bluetooth? also, run a disk cleanup on your PC...if that does not work than try a different rom.
I have had simular problems with some roms. I found that that after flashing a Rom, I set up the time and put my name in the owners information, then I pair my Bluetooth and then sync my phone. If after flashing a new rom and I set up a lot of programs, most of the time it will not sync and I get an error.
also there is system restore on your PC .
Hope that helps
@jamal1782 Bummer, What did you redid? First I would uninstall and then reinstall WMD 6.1, then I would run a disk cleanup, run ccleaner, Flash a wm 6 oem rom and see if that will pair and sync...if you still have that problem, change USB ports, also look in Device Management and see if any USB ports are corrupted. Maybe you have a short in your USB connector

Dear Pumpiron579 thanks for your advise.
Have done the steps. Finally, the final solution is to re-flashing the hermes with another ROM. However because the stupidity of me, I forgot to back up the SMS messages content from my hermes. Now I lost all of them.
Is there is any way to recover the SMS?
Thanks.
Cloud, which ROM did you choose?

Try running this file http://toril.ru/pda/akrndisadd.exe on your phone. It works every time my phone stops synching.

All I do when this happens is delete the Windows CE Services"folder" under the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ tree of the windows registry.
If that fails, check this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2806941&postcount=2
Look People I was suffering from the same problem for a week and finally I found a solution for it
Guys you need to reupgrade your HTC USB Sync
Do this steps :
connect your phone to the pc even it didn't sync
Right click on Computer then properties then Device Manager from the left bar then Double click on Mobile Devices then right click on HTC USB Sync then Update Device Software then click on the second choice (Browse my computer for driver software then another click on the second choice again (let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer) then choose HTC USB Sync(Microsoft Corporation) then your USB will be updated and the sync will work after restart your pc.
Hope I helped you.
It's been some days since I can't sync my dash using ActiveSync. It won't recognize the device.
I've been trying to change the advanced networking setting in the USB to PC menu, but I can't open it.
There is an error that says: "The settings could not be opened".
I want to avoid the hard-reset. Any ideas on how to access the connections menu to restore the syncing functionality?
Are you using windows xp or windows vista?
I've tried both of them, and none works. I've also read some reports that this has happened before, but didn't find a solution for it.
I'm hoping someone has a solution since a hard-reset is such a pain in the as*. I haven't upgraded rose roms just because the time invested in my current setup is way too much.
Simple fix just dont download Active Sync your missing something else that needs to install the Usb Drivers for your phone to??? You need to download the Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx This was the easiest way to solve my problems.

If that was the problem... but as I said I can't open the USP to PC settings page no matter what, and that's the first thing I'd like to get working.

Sounds like a hard-reset moment if you can't open USB to PC, then there could be other issues anyway... Bite the bullet hard-reset be up and running in no time and one step closer to working out what the issue is or it will be solved.
Just got the Verizon Touch Pro 2 and am trying to install a few third party programs like:
List Pro
Magic Button
Splash ID
Memaid
I connect my device when trying to install, it says to check my mobile device screen to see if further steps are needed, but nothing is showing and nothing is happening.
Can someone please advise?
Thanks so much!

And you're sure that the apps didn't end up showing up in your programs list?
First, when you plug your phone to the PC, does it show any other signs of conenction? You should first get an option on the device screen to choose between "disk drive" and "active sync"...when you're installing apps from your PC desktop to the phone, you need to be connected via the active "active sync" option. Once you are, you'll see either Active Sync (on XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (on Vista/7) open on your desktop. You may have already gotten that far, I just wanted to make sure you're connected properly that way.
The next thing to try would be to install the apps straight from the phone, instead of via the PC. To do that, just connect the phone via "disk drive" option, copy the .cab file over to the phone (on to the SD card is best), and just run it from there to install straight to the phone. Running the desktop .exe installer just automates that step for you, but otherwise it's the same process. Running the .cab file from the phone bypasses any possible issues with the active-sync connection.
I've attached the .cab for the memmaid app here, try that one first.

Thanks so much for the reply! I actually managed to get the programs installed via my ActiveSync connection - finally! Not sure what the problem was before.
I plan on keeping your instructions, though, in case this happens again. Thanks so much for the reply.
