Downgrade from WM6 to WM2003SE activesync problem

[ibisit]

i'm really keen to get this issue fixed.. any suggestions would be appreciated.


i have just downgraded from WM6 to WM2003SE (o2 XDA offical rom 1.40 for AUS) and i cannot sync the device anymore.

i have completely set the device back to it's original state, ext rom, main rom, radio rom. the PDA itself works fine, no issues there.

i receive an error when i try to sync with my laptop.. (which it used to sync with when i put WM6 on the device).

the error is - cannot verify the version of activesync on your device, a program such as a firewall may be blocking a port activesync uses to connect to your device, you may need to upgrade to a more recent version or activesync

i have removed activesync, deleted all the registry entries, folders and files relating to activesync that i could find. reinstalled activesync, still no luck.

-> i can get the device to sync with my desktop without any problems (i never used the desktop to sync to it when WM6 was installed)
however all my data is on the laptop.

Any ideas ?

update

here is an extract from the log..

**** ActiveSync (4.5.5096 RETAIL) started, Cmd line: '/onconnect'
10/08/2007 16:07:14.324 Creating new partnership for device 0x0 (Pocket_PC, PocketPC).
10/08/2007 16:07:14.324 Error 0x8000BADD: Failed to get version number from device.
10/08/2007 16:07:15.927 Creating a guest connection for device of type 'PocketPC'

-> i can't get into the screen to clear the storage and hive..
i can get into bootloader.. can't get it to work when i press power, reset, camera and record.. just goes into bootloader.. or the numbers come up on the bottom..

could there be some residual information left behind from the previous install of WM6 ??
how do i set the version no manually ? is this done in the PDA registry ??

I don't remeber having this problem. All you can do it try to downgrade ActiveSync to one of the older versions.
