Pulling my hair out w/ Vista WMDC and sync issues!

LadySaat · #1 (**permalink**) 04-11-2007, 02:44 PM

Okay I have uninstalled/reinstalled WMDC, updated etc. WMDC won't sync my phone whereas it used to flawlessly. Now it never stays connected and/or just flat out won't "recognize" my ppc.

I have Vista Ultimate, I did the RUU hack to flash my ROM and Radio updates then reverted it.

I noticed when the phone is connected, in Device Manager, I no longer have the "mobile devices" tab showing up.

Please tell me one of you guys has some ideas ??

well i've been researching the WMCD thing found two threads. Everywhere keeps saying to uncheck the USB to PC thingy. (http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archi...ce-center.aspx)
I keep getting the RNDIS error message...

This is all I've found so far:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/arch.../t-289457.html

I have no COM ports listed at all to delete. Nothing is running in the background either. What is the deal?

I need Vista to reinstall the driver for "microsoft USB sync" and make "mobile device" show up again on my Device Manager.

Can anyone help me? Any ideas?

Do you see the device at all in the device manager or is it completely missing even when you plug it in? Also make sure in your ppc that you have under settings --> communications ---> usb to pc they check mark on enable advanced network functionality checked.

It's completely missing even when it's plugged in. It used to say "mobile something or other) in the device manager. Now it doesn't. There also is no Microsoft USB Sync (which used to be in the mobile tab in the DM).

I get a USB Device Not Recognized when I plug it in now. This just seems to be getting worse. I found by googling a Microsoft USB sync driver. I got it off driverzone.com But it downloaded from toshiba or something...

did you check the usb to pc thing? You said that you reverted back to an older rom. which one was it?

I didn't go back to an earlier ROM I still have Sar3.5 pr6. I actually couldn't uncheck the USB to PC thing even when I wanted to. I get the error "Failed to disable RNDIS" when I uncheck it and it doesn't stay unchecked.

I'm still getting the USB Device not recognized. My phone doesn't show up anywhere. I uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC then plugged the phone in hoping it would install the drivers for it. Nothing. this is making me NUTS. I ran windows update and got 5 updates, none of which did anything.

Just in case anyone was having similar problems etc. I jumped on the chat thing and luv2chill helped me out. All I had to do was hard reset.

I've been getting the same "USB Device Not Recognized" error, whether I was trying to connect via activesync, or when putting the device into boot loader mode. Was pulling my hair out, when I decided to try another USB cable. Well that fixed it. Needless to say I've thrown out that cable.
