Hi all.
Finally update my M3100 to WM6 (thanks to LVSM) and i can't connect with my Windows Vista desktop using latest driver from Microsoft.
I can connect with Windows XP box with Active Sync 4.5 without any problem.
Anyone get this working or am i crazy?
Thanks all.
Windows VISTA has a new activesync.
If you connect your device, you should see that Vista auto detects your phone.
But you can't install programs etc.
Then you have to run Windows Update to dowload an additional package, so you
can install programs etc.
So if your Vista ain't that legal, then don't try.
I had installed the XDA Live 0.1 last week without issues (via WinXP)
When I tried to upgrade to the 0.2 it hung in boot loader (tri-colour screen), while using Vista w/ AS4.5.
I had to hard reset to get it to go back to 0.1, but it hasn't really been the same since.
I d/l the new WM6 LVSM and tried to upgrade, but it also hangs in tri-colour mode.
Now is it a problem because I'm running Vista?

If I am not mistaking, you can't upgrade with Vista.
There is a workaround for it, but standard it's not possible.
Upgrade trough Windows XP.

Thanks I was thinking i could just use Vista.
I guess I should have just stayed on XP on my primary PC instead of upgrading to Vista so damn quick...LOL

Well, i expose my complete experience with Vista (of course legal copy )
I have one Qtek 9100 and one TyTN (SPV M3100 Spanish Orange).
days ago both of them with WM5 (original branded)
Yesterday move qtek 9100 to WM6, but can't do with Vista so i do in a VMWare Windows XP box running into Vista with VMWare Workstation (this works very fine). once the 9100 was WM6, Vista says taht the device is new and can't find the driver, but one day before works fine.
So today upgrade my TyTN with the same, put the RUU in the XP box, and works fine, but the same results in Vista and Mobile Sync. Works with SM5 but not with WM6. But in XP box, works with boths.
I think MS checks the OS version in Vista Sync, so you can't sync if the OS version isn't in the list of legal OS mobile.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and have WMXL 0.20 on my phone.
I can connect my phone to vista and i can browse my phone. I see the storage card and the internal memory.
You can't install application trough this.
If you want to install application when using Windows Vista, connect your phone with the USB cable, wait for Windows to detect your phone and install the drivers, then run Windows Update.
Then it will download an package so you can install applications.
Windows Vista uses the new Mobile Sync Center hence the RUU cannot connect with your PDA... if you replace the Mobile Sync Center drivers with the activesync ones you can get it to work...
there is a search button on the top right of this forum... as this topic has been discussed and answered many times before i suggest you use the search feature as it works wonders....
I installed Windoes Mobile Device Center on Vista, and I did not have a problem getting it to recognize my hermes w/ XDA-live 0.20. I did nothing special, just plugged it in, it was recognized, I configured it, and it syncs no problem.

Ok, i dosn't express correct. The question is the conectivity, not so only run RUU, but get acces to device.
With Vista (spanish version) i can't get acces to WM6, and i try two devices, Qtek 9100 and TyTN. a couples of days before both of them were with WM5 and can access without any problem. So i think Vista can read the version my devices says to be and be confused with the driver to use. Were can i find the drivers to make this work. Anyone says i can put activesync 4.5 drivers in Vista, is this correct?
So i must to connect to my XP box into VMWare and access trought this. so i can access and update usgin RUU.
Thanks.

Spanish. I must wait since installs Vista two weeks for the spanish version of the device center
i have Spanish Vista & Orange M3100 with english WM6 from LVSW. Activesync is working fine using of course the spanish download of windows mobile device center 6.
The only problem i have is that i don't have internet connection connecting activesync by usb.
Does Anyone have the same problem?
Any ideas about my problem?
TIA

I'm in your same situation.
Im my case, Vista dosn't find the correct driver for my M3100 with LVSW WM6 (perhaps i make a mistake installing, i'll reinstall Vista soon ) In XP box no problem to do that, and gain Internet connection from M3100 to get sync with Exchange server trought Internet.
How do you set the connection in Device Center?
Everything is working fine under vista for me.
I am able to:
-use ICS through USB, PAN
-manage installed programmes
-browse the device
...
I am using an english vista + an english WM6 tytn ROM
Anyone else notice that with XP and Activesync you can see and browse to your Windows folder on the PPC, but through Vista that folder is completely hidden and there seems to be no way to browse it??

You just need to enable viewing of System folders in Folder options
I'm using Vista since the first day and I have updated my TyNT with LVSW ROM and everything works.
Bluetooth activesync / USB activesync / Pairing with Outlook 2007 / Seeing all the files on Main Memory and Storage Card....
All put in one word, everything is perfect.
Only one thing hasn't worked : I haven't been able to update using Vista.
Hi everybody:
I recently started to use a PC with Vista. No activesync but instead WMDC exists. There is no problem in sync.ing with PPC but RUU does not work as expected.
I wonder if there is anyone else who successfully run RUU under vista and flush a new rom to the wizard..
I tried to apply the steps explained in this tread (which is for Hermes) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462 but I failed. RUU starts, then PPC starts in boot loader mode, after that the RUU hangs with an error...
Any advice, solution etc will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Orhan.
did you try mobilty ceter
i think windows vista uses mobilty ceter not active sync

I have used VMWare to update the ROM and it works without problems
it worked flawlessly!!
it worked flawlessly !!!!
1) install VMWare (http://www.vmware.com/download/ws/), 2) add a virtual machine in VMWare, 3) install Windows XP to that virtual machine (I used a 2GByte disk space for the xp virtual partitation), 4) Install activesync 4.5 ,
the rest is straight forward as you know

Yes, VMware works flawlessly on my vista x64... I've flashed ppc several times using XP virual machine and without any problem, but don't forget to disable usb connection on WMDC - else the RUU may cause an error in bootloader mode as it happened to me
Easier way?
So your saying this is the easiest way? There has to be an easier way to flash on vista.
i also use a virtual machine...its called Parallels Workstation...all vista users stick with a vitual machine...it is the easiest way so far...unless u just want the OS then just use ShellTools
Step By Step
Can somebody explain step by step how dos it work.Thank you.

I'm not sure exactly what "it" is referring to, but if you are talking about how to install a VMWare workstation and create an image, there are plenty of helps online already to explain that. Just Google it. If you are referring to how to do the ROM update once you get into your virtual machine, it's pretty straight forward. You just plug in your USB cable from your cradle (when the Axim is on it) and the virtual machine will install it just as if you were running Windows XP natively on your machine. Again, there are lots of helps out there if you Google it.

1. installed vmware - xp pro
2. installed active sync 4.5
3. WMDC usb bypass
4. VM menu - REMOVABLE DEVICES - USB DEVICES - High tech computer usb device
5. nothing
just curious, but will this work with microsoft virtual pc instead of vmware? will probably test it myself when i next flash a new rom, but figured it was worth asking here...

Yes, it should work just fine. It's the same concept either program you use.
I think that microsoft virtual pc 2007 doesn't support USB connections, so it won't work with it.

hmmm...that would suck...though it does seem like virtual pc is a bit limited in it's hardware setup for a virtual system. if it doesn't work, i guess i'll have to try vmware...assuming it's free as well.
thx for the tips

VMWare Player is free, but you would have to obtain a VMWare image somehow to use it. Otherwise, to create a VMWare image, you have to get VMWare Workstation which is gonna cost you.
yup...confirmed that virtual pc doesn't work...doesn't pick up connection (kinda sucks...since it was a free program)...

I'm in the middle of writing a paper for class and ADD has kicked in... I'm running windows xp pro 64bit and want to upgrade my xv6800 with dcd's new rom. Anyone have a similar set up and have any problems? I'm no stranger to vmware so I know how that works. Just wondering if I can do everything in x64. Thanks ^_^
As I have never done it with winxp x64,can't suggest much,but winxp x32 sp2 is widely used and very stable for flashing and is highly recommended.
Cheers !
could be an issue that the 64bit version cant use drivers not signed by ms not sure if the ones required are
Tried to install a Meshe Rom (vanilla)
But all programmatic has problems with the 64bit structure.
Hi guys, I've searched already, and found nothing that answers my question, so that's said. Now, my Windows computer (a laptop) was SMASHED by a cousin of mine. That was the computer I used for flashing (everything else, I'm an Apple-lite, so I use my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro) But now I can't flash. Is there any way to do this with Missing Sync? on Mac OS X?
No there isn't. To bad. I use a Mac too (and the Missing Sync). All the rom flashing and stuff happens on a PC.
But...
Since you've got a Mac with an Intel processor, you can use Apple's Bootcamp or some sort of Windows emulation app.
ah!! A fellow Apple-lite. Hmmm... Can't flash... that IS rather depressing...
Flashing on a Mac Solutions
I also am searching for a solution to this problem. I have a Powermac G4 so, alas, I can't do mine through intel via bootcamp. I would have to spend the money and lower myself to Virtual PC. I'd rather put that towards a new Macbook Pro! You can do it through bootcamp. I did it at my Dad's house on his macbook pro while I was visiting.
In my searching I've discovered that you can flash via your sd card, but you need a program to extract the .cab and make a change to the file. They were sugesting cabextract. Problem is, that it's not available in Leopard right now, and I haven't found another solution yet. I'm still searching though. If anyone can give any more light on this or correct me if I'm wrong that would be great. I really want to come up with a solution for us mac guys!

Check out VMWare Fusion which lets you run XP in a window. I use that to flash to my MDA Wizard and it works great. The only thing I haven't been able to do - and it may be resolved now in a later release of Fusion - is upload maps for my iGuidance navigation software. For that I have to use the PC.
Hope that helps.
You can use BootCamp to install & run Windows XP natively on your mac.
One of the problems is that I don't have a copy of Windows XP SP2 or above... I have SP1, but not SP2. And I don't have Vista either.

I don't know how to do it sans Windows. Please let us know if you figure that out.
In other words, I can't use Boot Camp, cos it requires at least XP SP2.
get ur device CID unlocked(CID unlocking requires activeSync)
n then try SD card formatting it doesnt require any computer
After my desktop fried, and i'm always on the go, i purchased a macbook and its my primary computer. I use windows xp running through VMWare's fussion to flash roms, hardspl, cid unlock, tether.. basicly everything for my WM devices. Works perfectly fine for my hermes and kaiser, but wouldn't work on my wizard(that was with parallels) and haven't tried on my magician.
Anyways, i used to use parallels before fusion and it also said it needed an xp sp2 cd, but i went ahead and installed it through the xp sp1 cd and downloaded the sp2 update after xp was installed and everything worked out fine. SO go ahead and give it a try with sp1 and see what happens. Also if you decide on running parallels or fusion, make sure you have enough ram! (i have 2gb ram on my macbook and fusion is set to use 1gb when its running and it runs perfectly!)
I decided to tell something about my experience today about these Error numbers while Upgrading my Hermes (T-Mobile MDA VARIO II) .
Dear friends….i read Upgrading instuguidances again and again but there is a gold issue I did not notice untill today.
whenever I put my PPC into Boot Loader Mode and connect it to PC to upgrading these Errors appear immediately and I was in trouble what those errors are.
It checked the cable or some different Official ROMs but in fact I noticed all growth from Windows.
Yeah…
I am in winder why Microsoft does not make it possible upgrading PPC over Windows XPSP3 !!!
Whenever I run RUUWarpper on Windows XP Service Pack 3 these errors shown while I was sure about correct cable and correct ROM and ….
Sooo I want to share it to all peoples this gold notice :
Upgrading PPC is just possible on Windows XP Service Pack 2.
not Windows XPSP3 nor Windows Vista.
I think it is good for someone else that search and find these Topic in database of this nice/great Forum if same problem has appeared to him.
Here is some pictures of those errors & some proof if is required.
Mate, there has been a heap of threads on how to upgrade with Vista. It Works.
I have, on occasion, upgraded my Hermes on Win XP SP3 successfully. If it doesn't work for you, try the sd card method, you have to install Hard SPL V7 first, I tend to use this method more as it seems safer to me... Especially for the radio rom.
All you need to do is search and you should find the answers you seek...
Cheers...
So really can you Upgrade your Hermes on Win XP SP3 successfully?
you mentioned some keywords but could you please show me those links exactly how to upgrade our Hermes on XP SP3 too?
I think this forum is so noisy i can not find it myself.
I really need Upgrade HERM300 (T-Mobile MDA Vario II) on XP SP3 on my Laptop.
its boot loader shows IPL-1.04 & SPL-2.10.olipro
is it enough or not?
about 1 hours after reading your post I tried again upgrading on XP SP3 and put it on Boot Loader but nothing. (above Errors had shown again and again)
i would be appreciate if you show us that useful links (upgrading over XP SP3 normaly like XP SP2 successfuly)
Mate, as you have Hard SPL installed (SPL 2.10) try this instead...
1. Format a 2Gb or less sd card FAT32. Copy the .nbh file of the rom you want onto it and rename to "hermimg.nbh".
2. Put sd card into Hermes and reset to bootloader - power, OK and reset with stylus.
3. When prompted hit the power button to flash new rom.
Just make sure you have 50% or more battery though.
I find this method the easiest way of flashing roms as there is no real involvement of the PC except to format sd card and copy the .nbh file across. You'll get no sync errors, have no worries about resets/blackouts ar the usb cable being pulled. About the only ways to stuff this up is to reset in the middle of a flash or to have a flat battery.
Cheers...

Yes you can upgrade it in XP SP3. Do you have .net installed in the pc? If you dont, then you will be getting errors too.

I am sure.
and by your accepting we can upgrade PPC on XP SP3 , I resolute and will search and search again to find any solution why i get those errors on XP SP3 while you both told me upgrading is possible.
dear friends ,Thanks for your communion.
What you experienced was what I just did went thru
Had the same thoughts with the problem, I get Error [264], I also thought the CID-unlock issue. Tried many ways to get thru but fail in the end. Well yea, your piece of notes enlighten me. I will try on XP SP 2 and below, gotta find the machine some where first
Thanks for this post.

dear ferioz...
after those days passed what about your siuation?
has your problem solved using Windows XP Service Pack 2 ?
did you find any System running XP SP2 and try upgrading your PPC ?
If you have trouble with the pc, try the SD card method. Easier and I believe safer too as no-one accidently resets the pc in the middle of a flash. This method is a MUST when upgrading Radio ROMs...
For the PC though, you might need to update your .net framework to 3.5.
Cheers...
dear ultramag69...
You recommened this safely nice upgrading method and wrote a how to on this post and I love it and thank for suggest it.
I did not have enough time to upgrade and change my Hermes ROM recently from December 2008 so I did not try this method still cause PPC will go to Factory Default settings and programms installed will be ununstalled and I hate installing again and again.
anyway...
so Thanks for your nice answer and remind.
I suggest others try this method too instead of using PC running XPSP 2 specially this days mostly use Vista running Windows Mobile Device Center instead of XP running ActivSync.
