Activesync doesn't work anymore

[thwint]

Hi all,
I have an XPA S200 alias Prophet from Swisscom Mobile. The first thing I did was installing the "PDAMobiz Editon Upgrade Rom for SPL 2.15.0001" ROM which worked well for a while.

Now I can't sync it anymore using the USB connection (IR works). Yesterday I installed the ROM again, restored my data and was able to sync. I thought ok, everything is ok now. But today sporadically I have the same issue again.
If the connection is not ok, my computer only shows an unknown device.

Does anyone have an idea what can cause this problem. It seems like the USB port of the device is blocked from time to time.

By the way has anyone an English version of the original Swisscom ROM for the S200? I have forgot to back it up before installing the new ROM.

ROM version: 2.15.13.27 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.19.21
Protocol version: 4.1.13.09
ExtRIN version: 2.21.13.102 PDAMobiz.com

I have ActiveSync 4.2.0 (Build 4876) (English) installed on my computer.

Best regards,
Tom

Today I was playing around with my device. I tried several things, but it is not possible anymore to connect using USB. Even a ROM upgrade doesn't work anymore.

I can still sync my device using IR, but any ROM changes are not possible anymore.

Don't know if this will help but found that connecting the SPV M600 to the USB lead occasionally tripped out the USB 2 port on the computer. Just switching the computer off and on didn't help as it was only a soft reset. Switching off and disconnecting from the mains for 60 seconds, then switching on again reset the USB port and allowed activesync to work again (untill it tripped out next time). This has happened about 5 times now in 3 weeks. This applied to all USB ports, not just the one connected to.

Unfortunately this doesn't help. I made some further tests. A friend has the same device.
Using my computer I can sync his device but not mine. Using his computer we can sync his device as well but mine doesn't.

But again suddenly it was possible to sync sporadically. Now I think there is really a problem with the USB connector of the device.

Because I assume a hardware problem and need to contact the vendor I need to get an original ROM from Swisscom now (no matter which language/English preferred).

Does anyone know where to get such a ROM? Swisscom currently doesn't offer any to download. Additionally is there a way to upgrade the ROM using an SD card?

I think I got one step further. When I use the USB-switch tool and change from rndis to serial and back Activesync connects again.

For a moment it is connected and syncing but then it gets disconnected again.
No matter what I try the connection is not stable.

Hello,
this sounds like exactly my problem.
Previously i had T-mobile MDA (with dipod rom), and it worked fine, no problem at all.
Now i have a prophet (again Dopod rom), and i've had nothign but problems. Activesyc initially worked once or twice, but has not for a long time now. i've tried deinstalling, re-partnering, deleting everything, etc. I've even now had XP re-installed on the computer and done a cold boot on the Prophet...now change!
The only thng that works is syncing via infrared! This works every time, no problem at all.
I have no idea what the issue is...but it is very frustrating.
