I first noticed this problem last night - I can connect my smartphone and it is not recognized by ActiveSync until I go into Options and deselect the Calendar and Contacts (those are the only two Items I sync). Once I do that, I connect the USB cable, ActiveSync syncs normally. If I click Sync again, or disconnect the phone and reconnect, it hangs on "Looking for Changes". I have to repeat the process above to get it to sync again. Has anyone had this happen? So today, I decide to upgrade to 1055 (been meaning to since my first question on the ROMs, but haven't had the chance to back up contacts to both of my machines yet)... the upgrade wizard opens, I hit update and it does this: Connecting Smartphone...Done Rebooting Smartphone...Done Re-Connecting Smartphone...Success Loading C:\DOCUME~1\srpresle\LOCALS~1\Temp\RarSFX0\chain.l st ...Success EBoot.bin -Opening ...Success -Verifying checksum ...Success -Checking ... at that point, I get a "Wait for Response Timeout" popup box and then the following messages: -Checking ...Fail Total Time ...33 sec Update Finished!! Now, when I reboot the phone, it's still ROM 1021, and the phone never rebooted during this process. Also, Activesync terminates itself just after window that says "Waiting for Reboot. Do not disconnect USB cable" pops up. Any ideas on that one? Thanks, Steve

And the problems I ran into was... 1. U must use the red cable !! (I guess something to do with the length, no loss of data :-) just kidding) 2. Found that the USB must be directly connected to the PC...and not thru a hub. 3. Activesync 3.7 and must be working. And I had to try it a few times before it succeeded..not 1055 but a version in between 1049 and 1055. I did 1053 then 1055. But 1053 the first windows app based installer didnt work for me in the first attempt. I had to try it a few times. Good luck... Kris
