SPVServices in vista? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Is there any way of getting SPVServices to work in Windows Vista 32bit, ive done the Vista RUU update with the USB drivers and Windows Mobile Device Center.
When i try and run spvservices i just get an error saying it failed to create an empty document.
Is there any other way of making my phone SuperCID?

RUU Works in Vista RTM!

Hi. I`ve finally found the way to connect mtty and run rom update utility in Vista. tested on rtm 6000.
First of all, connect your device when it`s in bootloader.
next, open Windows Mobile Device Center and in connection settings uncheck Allou USB Connections.
next, goto contol panel-administrative tools-services and start windows mobile device connectivity and windows mobile device 2003 connectivity
next, goto device manager and find your device and update the driver to the one from AS 4, i attached it, wceusbsh.inf.
then, kill wmdc.exe with any taskmanager
You are Ready. run ruu or connect MTTY. I guess that vista default driver uses another port, not WCEUSBSH001, that`s why we have to use the old driver.
Didnt work for WM6 update
is this supposed to work for the WM6 upgrade?
Didnt work for me.
Attached the files for x64 version of vista (taken them from x64 XP).
Drivers are unsigned, so you have to turn off driver signature enforcement in vista. Google how to do this.
And yes, this can be used to upgrade uni to WM6.
No this method did not work for me for O2 Atom.
Using Vista Business with released final windows mobile device driver. No use. Able to sync perfectly. But RUU ROM update is failing. Trying to disable the firewall also no good.
omg thank you so much for this! i was trying to downgrade my hermes from 1.06 to 1.04 CID but vista's windows mobile device centre or whatever its called is dodgy as hell and i couldn't run RUU. you are a god send, thanks again!
yes, this is working out very well with vista.
Thank you.
Vista cannot find drivers for Hermes after flash
I used these drivers to allow me to flash my Hermes with the latest Cingular image. After the device reboots, Vista no longer recognizes it. Vista prompts me to search for a driver but cannot find one. Is this related to installing the back-level drivers above? Anyone know how to recover from this?
Thanks!
No joy....
This did not work for me. I'm running Vista Ultimate and a TMO MDA.. I hope there is a solution soon.. I really want WM6 on my phone, but I don't want to have to have an XP machine around....

Thank You! Worked for me, using Vista Ultimate.
Thank you! It works...
I was also unable to get this working. I am running Vista Enterprise RTM. I followed the steps in the list exactly, and also tried restarting the services (they were already started) and killed mobsync.exe (Sync Center). No such luck . RUU crashes while trying to read information from my phone. Has anyone who had problems earlier got it working yet?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm having difficulty updating the Build in driver with the one you supplied. As soon as I try to update the driver I get a meesage saying the one installed is already the most recent. As soon as I uninstall the original driver it is redetected and reinstalled.
Anyone have any help on this.
Thanks,
Tom
Right click on the device and click "Update Driver Software"
Click "Browse my computer for driver software"
Below the textbox, click "Let me pick from a list of devices on my computer"
Now you can click "Have Disk" and choose the drivers you downloaded
Pick the device it pulls from the .inf file
Step through the rest of the wizard and you should be set.
The wording of the buttons may vary but should be similar to what you have (I'm running Vista).
RUU Version
What version of the RUU software is working, I tried the 2.00.1 that came with the 2.61 radio upgrade and it did not work.
I, too, am using 2.00.1. I'm going to try these steps on one other machine I have that's running Vista. We'll see what happens!
Thanks for providing a solution that works on Vista.
Upgraded my Hermes using mtty and RUU, no problems with the driver posted.

That zip file is corrupt. Anyone else know where I can get it?
Also, why do the steps in the first post say to uncheck "Allow USB connections"? When I do that, I can't find it in the device manager.
it workes finally but i realised that the 2.00.1 RUU is problematic, older versions work fine

Updating through VMWare Virtual Machine

Hello,
I know there is a procedure for updating the phone on Windows Vista, but I'm asking myself if someone tried to do an update from a Windows XP virtual machine (as those machines can access to the USB)?
In a nutshell :
Windows Vista real computer
--> Running VMWare Workstation 6
----> Running Windows XP Pro
------> Updating the ROM of the phone
Thanks !

Well, I do this with XP running virtually in Mac OSX through a similar program called Paralells - works like a champ. NOt exactly what you are asking, but close.
I use VMWare 6 in my Vista PC for flash using XP OS before WDCM was launched... and works great...
Now i continue using to flash my Wizard in XP Box trough Virtual Machine cause upgrade tool for Wizard is not compatible with Vista...
So you can use to flash what you want, sure.
Regards.
Thanks for your experiments This will be a super trick for updating my hermes without having to worry about windows vista drivers things!
Thanks!
works like a charm ive been using it since january and i always updaye my roms in it and parallels
dont understand post,

Did you guys configure something special in VMware? My VM'ed XP doesn't find the phone (Wizard) over USB, I just get an error in the RUU...
I'm running XP Pro 32bit in VMware 6 on Vista 64bit. Didn't change anything in the VMware configuration... Any ideas?
Not to horribly change the subject, but why not make sure your phone is supercid and flash from an sd card?
I have used this method many times from my Mac desktop, instead of getting out my XP Laptop.
at the very least:

ROM flash through VMWare with a hackintosh/osx86/hackint0sh
Just a little note for anyone searching
You can also flash from a VMWare XP virtual machine in OSX on a hackintosh

Can you use vmware with activesnyc? (Vista)

Hi all
Brand new to this forum, having just got an htc wizard and unfortuantely I have vista on my laptop.
I'm just wondering whether it's possible to use a vmware xp installtion (or similar) to flash my phone?
Is it a possibility?
I know it's possible with vista, but from reading it seems easier with xp?
Thanks

Windows Mobile 6.5 Software on Windows 7?

Im new to the Windows Mobile world. Has anyone successfully installed the Windows Mobile 6.5 software CD on a Windows 7 machine? I just received the Tilt 2, and it keeps failing. I have tried compatibility mode (Vista) and it still fails. If fails when trying to install drivers.
Disregard, I got it to install. Now I am working on trying to get it connected. lol
Are you installing Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1

[Q] WP7 Device manager possible for Windows XP Professional?

After downloading WP7 device manager i got a bit pissed after the installation failed because my computer isn't Windows Vista or 7. Like the windows developer tools i was able to bypass the requirements and install it to me Windows Xp. I was wondering if i could do the same for the device manager?
I'm not sure, but why do you need it? Syncing the phone can be done with the Zune software, which is available on XP as long as you have SP3
EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realize what you were talking at first...I was thinking of WP7 device manager for the mac which allows content sync...not the same as what it is on windows. Disregard this post
