Vista and load new ROMs

Hi,
I have VISTA RC1, everytime I try to load any rom I get connection error...any ideas how can I fix that?

Yeah .. switch back to XP. I've tried for days to upgrade from Vista and didn't succeded ... at a time I thought that my UNiversal has gone .... but when I tried again on an XP based system it worked flawlessly.

Same observations:
I have tried with vista ultimate final (msdn) with windows mobile device center beta-3 (because vista have'nt any activesync-like program) -vista can't recognise Universal in bootloader mode.
I found a resolution: format c: and reinstall any xp. (Or buy a second PC with xp)

Vista can't recognise the Uni, oh the irony.
M$ used the Uni as the showpiece for their all singing all dancing WM5 platform didn't they?

perhaps you can use the search function next time, there are a few more topics about this problem

Can I flash using Vista (32 bit) using the latest version of SyncCenter?

I previously flashed my Vario II using my laptop which runs XP. But I was wondering if the latest version of SyncCenter for Vista (I'm running 32 bit Ultimate) can flash without added drivers?
Cheers.

Yeah, that would be interesting to know.
I upgraded 2 days ago to Vista Business and installed the lates Windows Mobile Device Center.
I've read the guide from Mr Vanx about the different Drivers, but is this still necessary?

I actually was able to flash using Vista without doing anything special. I just clicked the file and away it went. I did maybe 3 cooked roms and the latest AT&T rom four times without any issues.

If you have WMDC 6.1 installed, you should be able to flash fine

I've got vista withouth WMDC and I'm able to flash okay too.
So there is nothing needed anymore, just plug it in and flash away.

the drivers mrvanx mentions are not necessary for WMDC 6.1 but are necessary for WMDC 6!!
When installing WMDC 6.1, uninstall the previous version, connect phone, then install and it will install a new set of drivers for the phone.
one thing to note tho, when flashing with vista the only way i get it to work is to use this SPL : 2.10.Olipro (HardSPL v7), already have the phone in bootloader (3 colour bars) then plug into usb, then when flashing select the options in the screen shot, then flash. (to be honest i dont select the "is it Hard-SLP?" box and i never have a problem, but i dnt want to be blamed for anyone screwing up theri phone!!)

win 6.1 (Kavana FINAL ROM (03/18) - Sync errors

When I sync my dash with my Vista Desktop, I see the following errors at times
Notification - Cannot execute Tskschedule.exe
- Cannot execute repllog.exe
- Cannot execute connmgr.exe
- Cannot execute calnote.exe
Anyone seen these errors. I downgraded to Windows Mobile Device Center 6.0 on Vista, but I still see the error. I did not see them in brightpoint ROM.
If I disconnect & reconnect to the usb, it works, but I do get these errors every other time..
Thanks in advance

what are you using to sync? activesync doesn't work with vista.

I am using Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1

I reverted back to the old ROM (Brightpoint) and now I dont see those errors.
Anyone here using win 6.1 ROM and has synced with their VISTA desktop successfully ?
-Thanks

First of all I hate VISTA...
Second no problem in WindowsXP with my WM6.1 ROM
Third Tskschedule.exe is only added from WM6.1,so maybe vista haven't get ready to support WM6.1

Kavana .. I could not agree more. I have it working on XP. But it has been frustrating on VISTA
btw, Thanks a ton for the ROM..
-sunjay

has there been any progress with this... as my vista laptop will not see my dash anymore

I got the same problem as Sunjay. Now only can connect with Vista/WMDC6.1 by luck. I got 2 Excaliburs, the one with Original WM5 never has problems connecting with Vista/WMDC6.1.

I am still researching.. Have not made much headway yet.
From what I understood from reading other forums on similar issues. There my be duplicate Notifications which may be causing this.. However, I did try using SKTools (demo version), and went thru notification events to check for duplicates, There were a couple of entries for the same program, but they seem to occur for different conditions.
I have also posted in the Micro$oft forums, hoping to get some clue
-Thanks

very odd....
On whim, I re-installed WMDC 6.1 (x64) downloaded directly from the MS download center... and all of a sudden no more problems/ The only thing, is the WMDC recognizes the phone as a dopod 720w. But it works a treat...
I hope that helps (the x86 wdmc 6.1 is also available... but you probably new this)

I will give it a shot and see if it help. In the meantime, Please post if it works or fails after your prolonged use..
-Thanks

will continue to monitor and update as is necessary

I did get this error and i was using WinXP Activesync v 4.5 . but i only got it once. and only once. i just thought it was a glitch , but now it seems this may be some sort of issue, just that it doesn't happen often enough for me to downgrade back to WM 6.0 ... if it starts to happen again i will re-post
Update: I guess i spoke to soon. It happened again, but something that i was doing on my PC both times it happened was i had windows media player opened on my PC and i was playing a video stream at the same time on media player. Coincedence?

very interesting:
two questions: what OS are you using (xp or vista) and what edition of WMDC center are you using (6.1)?

I did look, and the aforementioned is what had me confused... as the OP was regarding VISTA. I was trying to simply ascertain if the problem was not "OS-centric" and was occurring on multiple OS'
Which I guess it is...
Sorry for the confusion... as the solution that I happened along to was vista only.

I know you're looking for a vista fix. just know that are also issues similar when using win XP too . Although they may not be directly linked together , nor will the fix for both OS's neccessarily be the same. these might end up being the same problem, but different ways to create the problem, thus different fixes for the problem, depending on your OS
Lastly, this may have something to to with what i call "interoperability with 3rd party programs on a new OS" issues. Sometimes certain "combinations of programs" installed on a phone can create these issues.

This happened for me using XP as well, I don't really know what the issue is, because it synced properly before.

It works now !!
I got it to work now Thanks to Poser's suggestion in the earlier post. This is what I did
- De-install everything from VISTA which is windows mobile related (WMDC 6.1 & it had an entry for some mobile driver update)
- Rebooted the desktop
- Downloaded the WMDC 6.1 from download.microsoft.com. The filename is drvupdate-x86.exe for WMDC 6.1
- Installed the above software & rebooted.
- Has synced everytime since without errors.
I will post back if I see any errors..
Thanks

@Pudge - gotcha. Yeah sometimes to many "cooks" can spoil the soup...
I hope that you can find a fix.... have you considered upgrading to XP sp3 (I think you can dig up torrents and/or reg hacks to allow you to see it via Windows update). Also a re-install of active sync could be in order
@Sunjay... sweet dude, let me know if it continues to remain stable.

vista and upgrading

with my previous phone i could not use vista for upgrading.
is it working now?

which upgrading do you mean ? flashing rom ? syncing ?

Everything works here with the ultimate version

Why?
I flashed the Trinity & Diamond with Vista x64 without a problem. It depends on the RUU, if it works .... not the OS.

I have no problem either on my 64-bit Ultimate Vista.

Tera Term cannot connect? Vista is the issue?

Hi!
Im trying to install a new cooked rom on my HTC Tornado. Im following Kar Hoes guide.
But im having an issue right now, Tera Term says it cannot connect. As you may know, without it, we cannot flash.
I have tried different usb ports and two different computers (both running vista) and i have disabled usb connection through Mobile Center.
Any answer will surely make my brothers day!
Cheers!

Is it maybe Vista that is the issue?

It's most likely that vista is the problem - because vista needs specific drivers and most old phones does not have them.
I would suggest You to find a Win XP PC and do the update or find XP Drivers for phone and install them over Vista ones.
