Hi,
I'm new to Windows Mobile, so I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing. I've just bought a TyTN II (Kaiser) from eBay second hand, and I'm having a little trouble getting the PC to recognise it.
The phone is locked to the Orange network. However, it would appear that it has some custom firmware on, as the orange homescreen that I was expecting isn't there (which I'm very pleased about). In About it says "Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional (Build 19209.dutty's WM6.1)"
When I connect the phone via USB cable to a PC, it's recognised as being there, and the PC tries to install software but fails, saying it can't find drivers. On the disk which was supplied is some BlackBerry Connect software, which doesn't seem to help when I install it. I've tried to install the phone on XP SP3 and Windows 7 build 7000, both saying that the phone can't be installed, and ActiveSync / Sync Centre say the phone isn't there.
The phone charges up fine when plugged in either via USB or Mains, which would suggest to me that the socket on the phone isn't faulty, but instead it's a software fault with the phone.
Thanks in advance.
Thomas
