Hi,
I am sure these questions have been asked a thousand times but I have searched for the last 30mins through the boards and cant find any.
I have been given an XDA which is locked to O2, I have a cradle with a USB connection. The software CD however is broken. I have plugged in the USB and allowed Windows to search for a driver for the new hardware (I have XP home) which it doesnt do. I have searched to download the software which is on the CD but I cant find any. Could anyone please advise me what my first steps are?? The XDA is on fine I just cant connect it to my laptop.
I have seen manyu ask about unlocking so Ill follow those examples.
Hope someone can help really want to get this XDA working.
You need to install Activesync...use google, or check the main pocket pc pages, 3.8 is released a few days ago.
No drivers are needed!
just download MS ActiveSync 3.8 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...21-8a85-45a2-8d13-653beb6cdddc&DisplayLang=en
Enjoy :wink:
Thanks for the help.
This may sound stupid but I have downloaded activesync and run the .exe file it copies the files then does nothing. It doesnt provide me with an application to start.
Anyone had the same problem?
It should appear on your programs menu on the desktop, try plugging in your xda to the usb and firing up activesync on the xda if it doesnt start automatically.
It shall ask you to connect your device to the cradle..
After installation, put your device in the cradle, and wait till the USB port detects the device...
You shall see the ActiveSync window after that. If not, then check your USB ports.
What version of Windows you have? WinXP?
I have Windows XP home.
Ok ill talk you through the steps I have done.
1. I downloaded activesync and ran it. Copied files but didnt produce an application.
2. Put XDA in the cradle and connected to my laptop through USB. Windows detects new hardware.
3. I have tried for Windows to look for the software but then it doesnt find anything.
I have also tried to open up active sync on the XDA whilst it is connected to my laptop, activesync opens fine on the xda but it doesnt fire anything up on the laptop.
ActiveSync 3.8 System Requirements:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/as-sysreq38.mspx
I don't think its a problem in your Windows!
try to install ActiveSync 3.7.1 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync37.mspx
If it didn't work, then double check the cradle's USB cable, maybe its not well connected to the PC or maybe its defected!
Otherwise, ActiveSync shall work like a charm!
Tried that too. Thanks for the help though.
I think its something to do with my operating system as the older version of activesync also doesnt provide an application to open.
delete the unrecognized PDA from the device manager, then plug it in again.
I've got ActiveSync 3.8 and I'm XP Pro SP2. XP does not see the XDA in the cradle. I've tried everything I can think of. Are you sure no driver is required? I read in the O2 help that you can plug the cradle into a hub but I've got a brand new motherboard that has several ports. I've tried all the ports but XP never sees the device.
Hi, in response to the questions above have you gotten the ActiveSync to open up at all? Also, when you plug in the cradle does Windows acknowledge the cradle connection or not?
Firewall ...
I had a similar problem and had a firewall running (not the Windows XP one). ActiveSync needs to connect to the PC through 127.0.0.1. If the firewall blocks that it can't see the device. It opens fine, says it's connected (in this case) but the phone registers no connection .... might be something to look at.
Any1 tell me Please!
Today i upgrade my I-mate PocketPC from WM2003SE (2.06) to WM 5.0 by Buzz. The process did very well and i got the Device HardReset. But when i connected my I-mate pocket to my laptop by Actrivesync 4.0 build 4343 i got the following problems:
1) My laptop created a new connection in Control Panel -> Network Connection -> Connection to local 2. Is that right or wrong ?
2) When i try to connect to my PPC it is nothing. Activesync not connected.
3) When i romove my PPC from the cradle and i open the activesync in PPC it said that activesync connected? Any1 tell me that is the held it?
Any1 tell newbie how to connect from my PPC to my laptop by Activesync right.
thanks
What Windows version are you running on the PC? XP with Service Pack 1?
Many users -including me- are unable to sync via USB with WM2005 because WM2005 needs a different USB driver that is part of service pack 2.
I use bluetooth to activesync.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
I have an O2 ATOM Exec which was fine initially. I bought a new notebook with Windows VISTA and now I'm having troubling syncing. I have downloaded the latest Windows Mobile Device Centre and notebook is fully up to date. When I attach the USB cable windows finds the new device. I ask it to search for the driver but it cant find the device driver.
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks heaps from now.
Hi again,
Can someone please help me. Do I need to download a device driver? the OS cant seem to recognise the device. It says unable to find device driver for Windows CE USB Device.
I would really appreciate if someone can point me to the right direction.
I have the same problem. Who knows please tell me. thank
Have you all try calling Microsoft or O2?
Goto http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/default.mspx
Select the following according to you OS.
Synchronize with your PC
•For Windows XP or earlier:
Download ActiveSync 4.5
•For Windows Vista:
Visit the Windows Mobile Device Center
>_> I think your only recourse is to VM WinXP and Async from there (I don't know if this is possible, but you can try). IIRC Vista has problems syncing to older devices. <_<
Hi
Is there a driver to install to be able to use USB tethering and the mass storage device function on my Hero? I don't care about ADB or HTC sync, I just want to share internet and copy files.
I use froydvillain 1.5 (android 2.2). It's for my friend's computer which is probably running Windows XP/Vista/7
I think its either built into windows, or in the adb drivers, as part of HTC sync.
I use tether with Froyd fine, so I can check my drivers tomorrow if needed
Well if I need to install HTC Sync or not is precisely what I am looking. I am going to visit one of my friend and he doesn't have internet. I wondered if I could just plug my hero in his computer.
Seems like windows xp only needs a .inf file and that vista and 7 already have the driver builtin (just like linux)

Hi all,
i've yesterday rooted my Archos 10.1 with the howto from here and all works fine.
Today i have tested a connection with Droidexplorer, but DE can't find my device.
USB debugging is enabled and USB drivers from archos website are installed.
Can anybody access his device with droid explorer? If yes, can you share your settings with us?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I tried it with my Archos 32 and the same happens to me. Installed the usb drivers supplied by Archos.
I looked a bit and this will get you going: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7672554&postcount=23
