FIXED - ActiveSync not working via USB on WM6 Wizards

[us687008]

This is for everyone out there who upped to WM6 on wizard models and found ActiveSync not recognising your fone over USB. Download ActiveSyncMode.cab (sometimes named ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab) and install it on your Fone. Run it - Start/Programs/ActiveSyncMode.exe -
http://www.utstar.com/pcd/downloads/...yncMode.sa.CAB
Select 'USB Serial Sync Mode'. Now try connecting your fone and it should work.

I tried almost 50 posts and advices over 3 days and this one worked like a charm. I know there must be other issues with other fones which have different solutions. Please feel free to add to this thread all/any verified solutions.

hi,

i have tried it, but it doesnt work. do you have made spacially things to get i work ?

Not really. Installed ActiveSyncMode. Ran it and selected USB mode instead of RNDIS mode. This fixed the problem for me with a WM6 upgraded 8125 and 2 other friends with Original ROM 8125 and Original ROM MDA.

Hi! I've got the same problem, and i was solutionated with reinstall the activesync. So go to microsoft site, and download the activesync 4.5 again. After that try to sync your pda, and maybe its solve.

I had to reinstall WM6 and now ActiveSyncMode.sa.CAB no longer fixes my connectivity problem. I'm getting fed up with WM6.

I have tried everything else and will now try this. I did not realize that this was such a problem, until I started researching to solve my own problem. So good luck to me.



Fixed it with my own build. So far. I still have to try and sync with another computer. That is where the biggest problem has been for me, is syncing with two computers.

Under Vista 64, I normally have McAfee firewall at the highest setting and also have Windows Firewall on.

At first, after upgrading to WM6, I could not sync. I then found some registry fix procedures and tried them but it did not work. I then installed ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab and it allowed me to sync. Maybe that combined with the prior registry fix might have allowed me to sync.

However, after I uninstalled WM6 and reinstalled it, I could not sync anymore. I installed ActiveSyncMode.sa.cab again, but it did not work this time. I did not try the registry fix this time because I can't find the procedures, which I originally found online. I can't remember how to find them again.

I then turned off both Windows Firewall and McAfee firewall and I was able to sync again.

I then reinstalled Windows Mobile Device Center while having the firewalls off, hoping it would allow the installations to complete properly.

I then turned on Windows Firewall but it was still blocking the sync.

I restored Windows Firewall back to default and it made it worse. I then had to reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center and was able to sync again with Windows Firewall on. Often I would have to disconnect the cradle to establish reconnection.

Next, I needed to figure out how to turn on McAfee firewall and allow it to sync.

I then contacted McAfee and they told me to exclude Universal Plug and Play (UPNP) port 5000 and Windows File Sharing (NETBIOS) port 137-139. It didn't work exactly until I lowered the firewall one level. What all this networking stuff means, I don't know. I'll have to do more searches on them.

I now need to figure out how to put McAfee firewall back at maximum level while still allowing me to sync.
