USB Async 4.5 Problem

[kinski]

Hi,
since a couple of days, my XDA II doesn't sync any more. It has still worked finefor a long time, since I have updated to WM6.
With my Orbit 1 async is always working fine.
When I connect it to the PC, the PC is always looking for a USB Driver.

Configuration:
Win XP; Async 4.5
XDAII WM6 by Shekhar 70C40CS

What I've tried: - changing USB-Connection and cable
- hard and Softreset
- changing USB to PC advanced network
- reinstalled async
- trying another PC
- reinstalling WM6 - no way, cause there is no USB driver :(

Maybe, that it is a hardware problem; but I doubt it, cause everytime, when I connect it to the PC, the PC ist trying to install a driver. So I think, there might be a software problem into the Himalaya.

Any ideas?

Same problem with me on my notebook. Ask for help in another thread a few week ago, and got the advice to swith to active sync 4.5. I did so on my desctop and it worked wonderfull. On my notebook I stayed on as 3.8 because of my xda II and my old mda I. After I upgraded all my three xda to German WM6 i switched to as 4.5 german. I was verry suprised to get that fault window about the missing driver for that prototype thing and changing the vendor.
Not a mess I still have the desktop to install .exe and then copy the .cab files I need to my sd-cards. It´s not the known problem with the firewall (zone alarm), but it is a good question why as an the desctop works and the notebook doesn´t. Next I try to install the copied as-file from the desktop. Don´t know if it helps, I post if it does.

Hi, I had exactly the same problem, but I solved it in seconds because of Your last thread, thanx.
I had configured my windows firewall with "no exceptions".

I reactivated /checked the firewall-exceptions for ActiveSync on the PC and activated the extended networkfunctions under usb to pc on the xda and immediately everything worked fine.

Fine that I helped you, it wasn´t my purpose.
I got rid of that dammned thing about the missing driver for Prototype.
Read the hints of Jo_III in Post #28 and #31:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=341221
and follow exactly.
Insert in /windows with the name changed, rename it afterwards.
No question, why this is possible without the massage that it is impossible, as you get it, when you try to replace directly, but it works!!
Then soft reset and change /settings/connections Advanced Network Funtionality to disable/unchequed.
The funny thing with me is, that on my Dektop-PC both works.
Advanced Network Funktionality enabled the driver is for the Prototype.
This funktion disabled finds a WinCe Device.
Both works fine. No freesed PPC when disabled any more.
On my own notebook I can connect to the PC only in disabled Mode. When enabled this prototype driver problem is still there.
On the notebook of my beloved wife as4.0 recognizes the PPC an a WinCE Device but has a problem code 10. Think it´s normal as it is 4.0 and 4.5 installs new usbdriver while upgrading.
I tryed to upgrade to 4.5 and the windows installer crashed. I love it, really nice. I don´t want to fix this, I think, for me it is OK to ignore this.
This funny behavior, as i discribed it above, all my upgraded XDA/Qtek (all three of them) do.
PS. I use the German Rom of Teijalk with HTC Home and SCLPC++ Cube and I love it. Works perfekt and really fast and stable even with lots of proggis on RamDisk and few RAMStorage left, still really fast with my Pluscom WLan Card.

More stuff like this. Thank You - thombs up!

The info above is wrong.
Only on my Qtek this solved my problem. Both of my XDA can´t deaktivate RDNIS for serial connection, when I try to uncheque Advanced Net Funktionality.
Don´t know why, I did the same on the other device without an error.
(Now I examined, that I used Port 8 twice. Once for serial to USB connection and second for external GPS connection, so it wasn´t able to deactivate this funktion anymore. I changed Port and everything is fine again.)

totoche330 got the solution to my XDA sync problem in the thread above.
After Hard reset (No,Yes,Yes) inserting and renaming the dll. Soft reset and deactivating adv net funktionality. Works.
Don´t know why it didn´t work as it worked with my Qtek with all the programs installed, but dosn´t matter.
The problem of my notebook might have some reason:
The missing driver is called a Remote Network Driver Interface Specification to USB (RNDIS).
I think, I disabled everything to remote, because of one up to 25 trojan attacks.
I cured my xp, but i didn´t do a new setup. On the other hand it´s the only XP-Pro SP2. Desktop and other notebook are Home Edition SP2, but this is not important anymore. All PPC sync and that´s what it was about.
Two or three hours work and all the progs are back again. I hope, you can solve your problems too. Good Luck.
Does noone can write a driver for the cf-slot of the backpack?

Sometimes after soft reset you have to cheque and uncheque adv net funktionality inorder to get synced!!
