Active$ync Error Code: 86000107 (Solution Needed!)

[ai6908]

Hi folks,

I am constantly running into problem with activesync no matter what ROM I use. It appears to be syncing, but it doesnt change anything in the device! And in the end it gives an error code 86000107.

I have searched everywhere, and I guess a lot of us have encountered this problem using WM6.1, and I believe this used to be an issue when WM6.0 came out! But I never had this issue with WM6.0 until i upgraded to WM6.1


Here is my setup.


OS: XP
ActiveSync: 4.5
ROM: WM6.0 (back to the basics!)
I sync at work and also at home!


Sometimes I get this error message at home, and sometimes at work! So i really cant say this is machine, that is causing the issue!




Solutions that worked for me to fix this!

Uninstall and reinstall ActiveSync
Delete the error showing computers sync partnership in both device and also computer, then resync again
Some people say hard reset works for them, but I think its the same thing as above steps!

Anyhow, if anybody else has any other solutions please post your results! Or maybe there are some ROMS out there that doesnt do this, I would like to know them as well.

I currently sync with activesync 4.5/XP at home.........and WMDC/Vista at work.

If I reinstall either existing ROM or a different ROM....and I want to keep the same device name......I have to delete the existing partnerships on each machine before the first sync after reinstalling the ROM........if I do not delete the partnerships first then it will automatically rename my device to something like WMxxxxxxxxxxx.

This is a little different than your situation since I do not get an error message.............but I have found that when activesync or WMDC get flakey....I just reinstall the application and start over.

After I flash WM 6.1 CRC , activesync seems don't detect phone .
Temporary solution : hardreset phone + reset pc .
Now I am Shadow CE fan . Same bug . Same solution. I guess it's WM 6.1 Bug.

I agree, I have to do the same thing too after fresh ROM install, or else it will pick its own name :mad:

I had that error earlier today when I was trying to sync my work email to my device.. I unchecked the box in activesync and let the device delete all the mail... then I checked my email box again in activesyncs settings and everything synced normally again.. it might be a windows 6.1 issue since I too have neverhad this problem before..

So is this connected to email syncing? This would make a lot of sense as WM6.1 ROMs have had other problems involving MMS, as well as some problems restoring emails and SMSs from backup files. My bet is that in making the threaded SMS, Microsoft messed with some part of the WM messaging program so that everything that touches it is having trouble.

Is everyone who has this problem trying to sync email?

Nope, I don't sync email at all on either of my PCs. Same error. One thing of interest someone pointed out, perhaps it has something to do with the MMS in wm6.1. I will try to flash my phone with wm6.1 no mms over the weekend and post back here (will be using PK9)

Try this.
disable "Advanced Network Functionality" under Settings->Connections->USB to PC to get the ActiveSync client on the PC.

I dont sync emails, but i get the same error! I am thinking it might be calender or something, I remember having lots of issues with syncing when WM6.0 first came out, but then it all went away for some reason.

Oh I always uncheck that adv network thing, it doest fix this error!

[nic2mit]

Whenever I encounter ActiveSync syncing issue,
I rename PIM.vol file to something else (e.g. PIM.bak) and sync again.
Never failed to disapoint me yet. :)

Thank you RanDomize ! Works for me

[ai6908]

Ok this thing is frustrating. I didnt get the error over the weekend as I was syncing only with my home computer. Now back to work again, and get the same god damn ERR msg again!!

Changed to schaps 4.40 beta, still the same if not worse!!

[dymlu]

Ive tried everything. Syncing with two computers on 6.1 just doesnt work all together. The code happens one way or another.

I know its pain. But here is what seems to help!


Uncheck contacts from activesync options
let the pda sync
disconnect the pda, and connect and sync again
After it synced, check contact back again from sync options and allow it to syncIt wont show the error message now.

Now, if you go sync again with another pc, it will show the error message for that pc. Just have to follow the above steps again, until the error disappers.

Cheers mate,
but sucks to have to do it all the time...
Seems to be coming from certain roms only 'cause I don't have it with another WM6 ROM on an Elf... oh well guess I'll just have to be patient

Nope Faria's new one has the same problem too. Back to WM6.0 for now!!

for what ???

Disconnect then Delete all connection from your PPC and ActiveSync (Windows PC, Windows PC1, Windows PC2, etc) then try to synchronize again. works for me :D

Yup it works for that time, and then when you sync again, I have to do it all over again! Its pain, so I gave up on WM6.1.

i did it just ONCE ! when my outlook seems to be failed to sync Contacts

[zhix]

i have to repeat this cycle of removing the sync items and resyncing the items ALL THE TIME jus to get the machines to sync, never had this issue with WM6.

This is extremely frustrating.

Yea me too, have to do it every time. And I sync between my work PC and home PC everyday. So I have to uncheck and check it every time. Also I did find out that it does mess up the contacts! Like for example if I change a contact information, it creates a new entry based on the changes, leaving the existing contact information in WM6.1. Where as this is not the case in WM6.0.

It sure is frustrating, and I think it is the consequence of ported ROM.

Glad for you! No luck for me though!!:mad:

[pierpaolodf]

Got this problem since upgrading to wm6.1.

Yesterday I tried this and it seems to work smoothly:

-Backup Contacts and whatever you need from Outlook
-Delete current profile and start a blank new one
-Hard Reset the TyTn just to have a nice blank start
-Delete former activesync partnership
-Reboot PC
-Start new partnership and sync (no data actually)
-Import everything back in Outlook and let it sync

I tried editing some data and syncing forth and back and it's working fine.

Hope it helps.

Here is what I did, and it seemed to work!

Installed ODIR (free to download, google!) and removed duplicate items. There were some duplicates in my tasks and calendar. I also ran SCANPST to make sure there is no error. Then i synced information to a fresh copy of WM6.1 (PDACornerV25) with my work desktop. Came home, created a new pst file, and synced all the information to the new pst file.

Havent run into this error ever since. I did change some contact information today, and it seems to work just fine, without any errors. Previously, it just created a duplicate contact information whenever i changed a contact information. But it works perfectly now, no errors.

But, I installed a different ROM and just synced to both the pcs without making any changes to the pst file. I got a different error code now 80004005. I did everything I can to fix it, but had to do a hard reset. I am going to create a new pst again at home and see if helps!

This is frustrating!

Found this little nugget:

"Another less intrusive workaround that worked for me was to make sure I had at least 1 active task. I first synched without task checked, then puzzled as to why I couldn't include tasks. Am a little stubborn, so finally noticed that I had recently cleared out my last task and wondered if someone, in their infinite wisdom, forgot to test the system if there were no tasks to synch. Added a new "test task" back in. Rechecked task and it worked."

This was in response to finding that synchronizing the Task folder with the source of the error code and recommending not to sync Tasks.

I used to get problems like this. I finally shifted to a notebook computer for both work and home. I keep a dock at work. One computer, one device and one partnership.

Try to check the event viewer, more often than we think, there is a clue for what is happening.

Specially, check the application log (clear it first, then try to sync, so you know the events that you see are connected to the activesync shitware, i mean, software :-)...

Post the results!!!!

Maybe I am just dumb! Where do I find that Event Viewer in ActiveSync?

[chrisnz]

I don't know if this will help better minds than mine but I've found the following today

1. Yesterday I deleted all ActiveSync pairing information on my phone by deleting the registry entries
2. Yesterday I only synced with my office PC
3. No errors whatsoever
4. Today, I ran PocketMechanic which found 400 odd Calendar and task duplicate entries.
5. I deleted the entries and the error code was back!
6. Deleted the calendar from ActiveSync and no errors
7. Resynced the calendar and no errors.
8. Add phone calendar entry through the calendar. No erros

My conclusion (which could well be wrong) is that updating Contacts, Calendar, Tasks or Notes by a mechanism other than the UI causes the error. Unfortunately syncing with two PCs can cause an update by a mechanism other than the UI!

Frustrating but I'd love to be able to sync with two PCs again!
