With my x7501 I can connect in bootloader. Just flashed factory ROM, the Michy's 6.1 clean. In both ROMs I get the "failed to connect" sound from my PC in the fisrt boot screen, just when the red text disappears (and of course, then, nothing happens reagrding the connection). I can connect my wizard and sync.

Lately:
I installed Shantz Today Changer, uninstalled a dumb Minsweeper game (my four-year-old loves the OEM version). I've been having some PC issues, like dropping wifi every few minutes, Google Chrome crashed the OS so I uninstalled, and Quicklaunch icons show up funny occaisionally. My BT also isn't working, (Broadcom stack) software can't find the local device.

So whatever happened to "cable is stable"? Anyone up for a puzzle and kind enough to give me a clue?

Next steps: restore from Sprite Backup and keep popping out my card to exchange files (sneaker mail, anyone?). I'll probably live without Desktop Outlook until I get this solved, since I started using Flexmail and Pocket Informant, I can pretty much do what I need to do on the handheld and have to take it with me, but what a hassle (yes, I'm spoiled). I will try another PC, too.

Working for now

I waited overnight, let it reboot twice as per my nightly routine, this morning unchecked "Enable advanced network functionality" under USB-to-PC in the system tab of Settings. I have a funny feeling that anything I did didn't make a difference, since it all happened so early in the ROM loading process.

I hope the thread helps someone who runs into the same problem.

I am so tired of all the WTF moments in WM. I guess, no matter what, if you want it all, you have to fight for it and deal with the setbacks.
