23554 Cookie Apr.09 not connecting via ActiveSync after flash

After a successful flash of Energy.Leo.23554.Sense2.5_Cookie_HomeTab.Apr.09.7z (been using the phone for a day) ... I tried to plug it back into my Vista Laptop to setup the new Windows Mobile Device Manager partnership. Have flashed a few EnergyROMs before on HD2 (and Touch Pro before that) and can't remember ever having this problem.

When I plug my HD2 into the USB cable the phone behaves as normal; pops up quick-list of "ActiveSync", "Disk Drive" or "Internet Sharing" -> Picking "ActiveSync" of course ...

Then the Windows Vista laptop pops up the green splash window with the message "Please wait while Windows Mobile Device Center" starts.

It just sits there ... waiting forever it seems. Looking in "ActiveSync" on the phone it says connected (for Exchange - remote office mail server).

On the Laptop I see this in the EventLog, but googling it doesn't give much: "Windows Mobile-based device failed to connect due to communication (0x8007274a) failure (see data for failure code)."

I've tried:

Deleting the old partnership manually from the registry.

And removing the microSD card from the phone. (Didn't really think that was going to work).

Anybody else come across this problem?

Advance Home Tab 2 for Cookie's Sense

Hey NRG,

Have you considered updating the Cookie version with the Advance Home Tab v 2.0 mod? Seems pretty useful from the description.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=639520

Can anyone who has tried it please comment on how stable it is? i.e. worthy of being considered for inclusion in the cookie version of the ROM?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] UMBRA9:
This is really great but...

My phone won't start up after changing settings on your ROM...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djchubbs:
Not so great then is it?

Can you provide more info, of what settings you changed, is there any power going to phone at all? Have you just flashed it and is now stuck?

Have you searched the thread for the same problems? (no)

In regards to the Facebook app, I was experiencing some strange goings on, its ok now but last night i went onto facebook using the app on the 1st April Rom and when i tried to status update, comment or anything the box would pop up but there was no keyboard button which normally appears in the middle of the bottom bar, like i said, it seems to have fixed itself now, just found it a bit weird. I'd had a few beers but not that many,. :p

also whilst im on the subject of facebook, anyone else still getting the Button1 issue?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] silverwind:
I also experienced that issue. It doesnt happen in stock rom. Is it possible to dissable "auto 3G"? I would prefer to stay on "3G/HSDPA" only with the risk loosing the network coz i can manually switch to GSM only.

i also having the problem with haptic feedback and xt9 in the keyboard. i already uncheck/disable these function in the setting, but still active when i use opera.

other things, when in the landscape mode, the bottom bar is not full (screen shot attached), and when first set up after flashing and hardresetting, i couldnt change the time zone in htc menu (Screenshot attached), so i have to do it through windows system.

thanks for your works, sir

Hi bud, did you manage to change your radio? You will need to have either 2.07.50 or 2.08.50 radio. Some of the x.xx.51 radios work the first time, but hang after a reboot.

Hi Everyone,

Great work on the rom energy!

Just wanting to share some of the bugs i found,

i loaded up some powerpoint slides from university

and noticed that the text when i would load it up was all square boxes.. not too sure if this is a missing font problem

im currently investigating what it might be

i flashed my hd2 again with a dutty rom that had office 2010 to see the effect and worked fine

the font in use on the file was arial and size 10

but i had some other powerpoint slides that had tahoma as the font and it worked fine..

i also what seemed to be a missing part of the landscaped photos and video tab.

other then these few glitches and the others already mentioned i have found no more

anyone got any idea as to how i might attempt to fix these? ill report back if i find anything to solve the problem

Cheers

here are some screenshots

But i would like to have a 576mb version :o

I don't hope this question already is in this topic (did not find it)

Thx !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] darkmon:
Are you running Office Beta 2010? That has been causing lots of problems with activesync.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cd78:
I couldnt and cant connect to activesync as soon as i had flashed the latest ROM. i have the correct box checked in connections etc.

First time i have had this happen on my HD2..:confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
All of these roms are 576meg hack roms. What radio version are you using. You need to use either 2.07.50 or 2.08.50 in order for the 576 to show.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ClydeB1:
In connections try unticking the "enable faster data synchronization" box. Mine is ticked, but try to see if it makes any difference to you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] tinuz97:
O yes,my fault.

I had the original 2.07,upgraded to 2.09 so i guess it won't work with a 2.09 radio....silly me!

Thx for waking me up :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cd78:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] cd78:
do a search for b4all tabs - then find the one to match your manila version.;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Khaled_Chebat:
The latest versions DO SUPPORT 576 MB :)

(Just make sure you have the right Radio version too, both 2.08.50.08_2 and 2.07.50.27_2 tested and working - Just check the Radio thread of the HD2 forum)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] alodar1:
yes I did have this problem....twice ( on different flashes). On the first one, I walked through most of the troubleshooting you did....with no resolution. I ended up rebooting my laptop and active sync started with no issues. Later in the day, after trying a different ROM....I again had the same problem. this time I focused on the device...doing a reset on the device. Active sync started up with no issues after the restart.

Basically I could find no corelation between the times.....only that when I flash, I need to reset before setting things up....I usually do it....but it's very possible I did not in these instances. I always hard reset after installing a new rom. If I am flashing an update to an existing rom...I may not....but always when doing a brand new ROM. I know many Chef's do recommend that...

A few other things I noticed.....if I turn on wifi during the setup....the chances of problems occuring increase. if I setup outlook during setup of device....chances of a problem occuring increase. I do not see problems with facebook or twitter during this same process.

All ROMs have freezes in them. I've experienced the black screen with every ROM. I've had a relatively quiet weekend...only 1 phone call...but the freezes are not located around the dialer.

Screen rotation seems to be a problem. I like to read web pages in landscape..and the device won't stay in landscape. I haven't searched around the forums yet to see if a fix is available...i'll do that once I decide which ROM I'll use regularly. I say that knowing NRg's rom will be the one.

I've seen the active sync problem in other roms so it's not just a energyrom issue.:o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] swiss420:
Thanks for the tipp that did the trick. Here is my solution.

Download it here and unpack it into the root of your Storagecard. 3 Files. Run the CAB on the device reset and there you go. You can delete the CAB afterwards but the other two files have to stay there. Also you have to select a different theme under > settings > Home apperance and then switch back to the one you had. that way the Bottom and top bar look right again.

Oh and this is only for the Energy 23554 Cookie Hometab April 9th release. Further information and other build versions can be found here

I think that he should cook in the radio simply for the fact that SO many people are having radio/ROM issues for lack of reading. It sucks that people aren't reading, but he might just have to do in order to stop the pages and pages of radio questions.

I know, but some people need to learn the hard way and if that means people sweating over the fact that they may have just bricked their new £400 phone then so be in.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ruinertt:
I'd like to know this as well. Right now, we TMobile US HD2 owners only really have about two radio options, right?

Leo_RADIO_15.34.50.07U_2.08.50.08 **(from TMOUS 2.09)

Leo_RADIO_15.33.50.07U_2.07.50.27 **(from TMOUS 2.07)

I guess we could use an even EARLIER ".50" radio, but it might not be worth it at all.

I am curious to now how the 2.07.50.27 works out on the newer NRG ROMs in terms of battery usage.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ruinertt:
Touche. You won me over. Leave it out! :) I need to read up on the thread for traveling overseas with the TMobile US HD2. It turns out that work might be sending me to London in August. Should be fun.

has anyone else who's installed the HTC_Messaging cab experienced their device lagging?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] _X_:
I'm using 2.07.50.27_2 and have 576MB RAM. After one day of intensive usage (gprs sync, videos, music, opera browsing over wifi, installing some applications, few games of solitaire, etc) I have around 50% battery. No USB sync was done in the mean time, so no battery charging influenced on that result. I'm located in reinforced concrete building so more than few times I'm losing connection to GSM network.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] djchubbs:
back to WM Messaging i think.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] asifghufran:

I'm using Energy.Leo.21898.Sense2.5.Apr.09 with 2.07.50.27_2 radio. I was using 23557 before, but to be honest HD2 has huge display and nice resolution so those big buttons at the bottom are totally unnecessary IMHO. Detail that is missing from this build is threaded mail display but it is not that important feature for since I'm used to desktop mail clients without the same feature.

But new build is comming so ... :)

However, I do think that what you're suggesting may have happened to me too this time in the sense that I also normally hard-reset after flashing my ROMs and I think I forgot to this time AND I also switched from my usual 21xxx to 23xxx build this time.

After reading your post I hard-reset'ed my phone just for good measure.
