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

i did'nt use activesync with XPsp2 et touch hd

Hello,
I just bought a touch hd and I can not sync. Sub xp error 28 no driver and activesync does not see it. I had no problem with my blue angel. If anyone has the driver thank you in advance.

first have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling active sync? If this does not work goto Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC and untick the Enable Faster Data box. If this is unticked try ticking it.
If not the drivers are here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508361

If your PC will not pick up your phone then you cant install the drivers as a seperate package. Try these steps and see if they help
Cheers

blackstone don't see by XP sp2
Hello,
My PPC is not recognized by xp. I miss the drivers and my messsage: generic ISDN not working properly.
thank you

Can't get ActiveSync over Bluetooth with TP2 and Windows 7

Hello,
Any of you managed to get ActiveSync over bluetooth working with Windows 7?
Windows 7 does not seem to recognise TP2 as I get a "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" driver error. Tried the known trick to for a driver update and use the Microsoft Windows Mobile driver but still no luck...
Worked perfectly well with my Kaiser.
Thanks

I have it working fine on 2 win7 installs.
Install windows mobile device center. Re pair the phone with pc. Then goto services on the bluetooth for the phone and tick activesync

Works fine on mine too.
Used USB Cable to configure activesync and allow device drivers to be installed. Then configured for BT Sync.
Cheers,
Beasty

ok, got it sorted but it wasn't pretty...
definitely something wrong with TP2 and the HP Bluetooth stack...
1) I removed my tp2 from Devices and Printers
2) Uninstall WMDC 6.1
3) Installed WMDC 6.1
4) Setup partnership with USB connected
5) Paired my TP2 with my laptop (pairing initiated from TP2)
-> I got the same issue mentioned in my 1st post: TP2 is not recognised, flagged with warning icon in Devices and Printers for unrecognised device/driver.
6) Ignored issue in step 5) and launched ActiveSyn over BT and it worked!!
7) Upgraded the driver for the unrecognized device in Device Manager by manually setting the driver to Microsoft Corporation/Windows Mobile-based device support.
It would only work by following the steps above in exact order... been through a lot of trial and error!

Here are the steps I performed to enable Windows 7 to automatically discover and setup the driver:
I performed the same steps as manuv1615, but included these additional steps between steps 3 and 4 above:
a. Make sure TP2 is disconnected from the USB cable
b. On the TP2 device, Go to Settings --> All Settings
c. On the Connections tab click USB to PC
d. Uncheck "Enable faster data synchronization"
e. Resume step 4 from manuv1615

I just:
1) made the TP2 discoverable, then went to pair device
2) Open WMDC on Win 7
3) Rain pair via BT in Win7 taskbar and they paired
4) Under the TP2 BT settings under paired devices click on activesync under the Win7 name
4) on the TP2 I selected sync via BT then I selected the Win7 name
That was it and it worked w/o having to use USB.
Edit: Actually to make the directions clearer, just open WMDC first and skip step 2

Ok here is another simple way:
1) On the TP2 open blue thooth and pair with pc
2) The TP2 is going to select a port in my case port 7
3) When you have the ActiveSync icon under the name of your PC, press and hold the ActiveSync Icon.
4) Select add device
5) The TP2 is going to open the Bluetooth search screen, select the name of your pc
6) Open the windows mobile device center, open mobile device configuration
7) Select connection configuration
8) In allow connections to one of the following; select the same port that the TP2 got in ActiveSync (in my case port 7)
9) Accept
10) In the TP2 Bluethooth screen tap the ActiveSync Icon, it should sync with no problem
Hope it works for you cheers!!

My PC can't find the TP2

Hey there,
I try to synch my PC with my tp2. I own a PC with Vista and I plugged the TP2 on it. Bute the winmo device center can't find the tp2, so I can't put any files on my phone. The phone is charged via USB, so there should be a connection, but I can't find it in the explorer as a mass storage device...
Is it possible I did something wrong or can you help me fix this problem?
Bye,
Christopher

In connection settings do you have the option to "Allow USB Connections" enabled? make sure that box is ticked.

connect the device first and then open up the winmo device center. it's the only way it works for me.

Swith this checkbox off in the settings: Advanced connections.

When you connect your phone to your pc, open up the device manager and you should find an unknown device in the list. If oyu right click on it, go to update drivers, and then when the wizard comes up, you need to point it to a specific location...
If you then point it to the folder where the mobile device center is installed then it should find the necessary drivers and suddenly your pc will have found your phone
Certainly, this is how I have to do it with active sync on my pc at work (for some reason since connecting my TP2 - previously it had my TyTNII connected - it doesn't automatically recognise the device in terms of using the right drivers).

i had a similar issue, it was zonealarm. Try it with firewall turned off.

Hi all,
I have the same Active Sync connectivity issues, and they happen quite often, I should say... I did some investigation on my own, and after some digging (and talking to some friends), I managed to discover where the problem lies.
It seems that Windows Vista's Active Sync service get's kinda "numb" sometimes... and to "wake" it up, we have to start and stop the service. Here's my workarround:
Before we start, and since you may need use "start" and "stop" the Active Sync service quite often, I suggest you create a batch file (just create a normal text file and rename it to .bat after saving it) containing the following:
net stop rapimgr
net start rapimgr
With this file you'll be able to restart the service with just 2 clicks (followed by a "Y" and the Enter key).
Here are 5 simple steps:
1. After a failed connection attempt, close Windows Mobile Device Center and disconnect your TP2 from USB;
2. Run the batch file you created previously, and wait a couple of seconds after the DOS window disappears;
3. Reconnect the TP2 to USB and wait a few seconds (considering all the TP2 drivers were already automatically installed, if not, wait for them to install);
4. On your TP2, select the Active Sync option. On your PC, open My Computer and you should see your TP2 appear (if not already there ). At this point the Active Sync connection is already established;
5. Open Windows Mobile Device Center and wait a few seconds for the software to "wake up". The software should Connect to your TP2 successfully.
Et voilá. You're all set to replicate via Active Sync, and to transfer files to and from your device via Windows Explorer.
Repeat the process everytime the connection fails (which in my case, it happens quite often ). If it doesn't work the first time, try again, and if it's still not working... there's not much you can do besides restarting your PC and try all over again (blame Microsoft, not me ).
For the Disk Drive not connecting issue, you might want to to take a look into your Windows Device Manager > Storage > Disk Management and check if you can see your memory card in there.
When connected using the Disk Drive option on your TP2, it behaves like any other USB disk/pen drive, and it can be conflicting with another drive letter that already exists on the system (it's stupid but it happens quite often). To solve this particular issue, just change the drive letter associated with the TP2 memory card (it should have no drive letter associated if conflicting) to an available drive letter (right after your CD/DVD-ROM drives). Click OK ando this issue is solved.
Hope it helped...
P.S.: I also have ZoneAlarm (latest version - original copy) with max security definitions, and I can assure you that it has nothing to do with this issue.

It's terrible - tried every suggestion mentionned, but it just won't help.
When trying to update the driver, I can point to c:\windows\WindowsMobile\Drivers, but it won't find a suitable driver.
(I think the driver in Serial should be used, but it won't let me!)
Tried removing and installing WinMobile many times, removing the 'Unknown device' etc., but it just won't help!
This is a problem on every computer I tried with several cables.
However, the device did connect correctly when I still had WM6 on it. Flashed various ROMs from Miri, but for every ROM it's the same problem...

be sure you have checked the "synchronize all computers with connection" and drop down menu "usb" in active sync in your PDA (located in settings tab / active sync - menu/connections)
the naming can warry cause i don't use english wm

Thanks, but of cause I already checked this.
Besides, this should not change the useage of the device as remote disc.
Also, I noticed with the ROM from Atom that the device stops charging as soon as the PC sees something is connected to the USB post. (I only get an unknown device message and that's the only device that is 'installed')

Trouble syncing Tilt and Tilt 2 with Windows Mobile Device Center
I have two laptops and two cell phones. I can sync with the Windows XP laptop with no problem, however, I can't sync with the Vista computer at all. I've even tried reformatting the Vista laptop, but can't get it to sync. I've tried uninstalling the driver for the connection through the Device Manager as well as the Windows Mobile Device Center. Then reinstalling Windows Mobile Device Center and the driver. I've checked the cable and USB port. They work for everything else I can throw at them, but can't get them to sync. Windows Mobile Device Center does not show any devices connected (either Tilt or Tilt2). Any advice?
Laptop 1
Windows XP SP3
Activesync version 4.5
Microsoft Outlook 2007
Laptop 2
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
Windows Mobile Device Center
Outlook 2007
Cell phone 1
AT&T Tilt
Windows Mobile version 6.1
AT&T Tilt 2
Windows Mobile version 6.5

Any update for the connection problems?
Here it still does not work; the device is still not seen as mobile device, but as 'unknown device'.

Upgrading your rom on Windows Vista And Windows 7

Follow these instructions and your vista and 7 problems is over...
I used this guide and it works on my phone..

One problem with windows VISTA and 7 is that it uses the new "Windows Mobile Device Centre" and not activesync which we are used to, thus our standard RUU programs will not upgrade our Hermes devices as in windows XP. This guide will show you how to configure VISTA to work just the same as XP with our RUU programs.
For this guide firstly you need to download the new drivers:
Drivers for Windows Vista/7 x32 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33662&d=1169888879
Drivers for Windows Vista/7 x64 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33892&d=1170385335
Please note the x64 drivers are unsigned so to use them successfully you must disable driver signing.
Extract the contents to a folder on your desktop, call this folder "AS_DRIVERS". It contains the drivers from activesync which we will use instead of the native VISTA WMDC drivers when the device is in bootloader.
Now you must enter the bootloader on your device, to do this press and hold both the side ok button and the power button then put your stylus into the hole on the bottom of the device, your device will reset and show the red blue green bootloader screen. LEAVE THE DEVICE IN BOOTLOADER MODE and connect it using the USB cable to your VISTA/7 PC.
Now navigate into the WMDC (Start>All Programs>Windows Mobile Device Center) and click on the "connection settings" menu icon
In the connection settings menu untick "allow USB connections" then press OK.
Now exit the WMDC and return to the desktop, go into the start menu and type "Services", this will take you into the local services dialogue and show a list of all services either running or registered with your pc.
Scroll down the list and make sure these services are present:
Windows Mobile-based connectivity
Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity
If these services are not started then double click each one and set them to Automatic start by clicking the "startup-type" drop-down menu and selecting automatic then click the start button in the same window, apply the setting by pressing OK. Now return back to the desktop again.
Go into the start menu and type "Device Manager" then run, this will take you into the device manager. Click the "+" symbol next to "Mobile Devices" and double click on "HTC USB Sync".
This will bring up the properties of the currently connected device (the hermes in bootloader).
Go to the "Driver" tab and click "Update Driver".
Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".
Select "Let me pick from a list...."
Click the "Have Disk" button.
Click "Browse" and navigate to the AS_DRIVERS folder we created earlier.
Vista x32 users select the file "wceusbsh.inf"
Vista x64 users select the file "wceusbshx64.inf"
Then click Open.
click next and the driver will be installed (wait a moment).
Press close and escape back to the desktop now.
Now we must stop the WMDC process, start the task manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Escape.
click the WMDC line and click "End Process". In the confirmation window, again press End Process.
Now re-enter the WMDC and re-enable USB connections (click connection settings and tick the box "enable USB connections").
Your RUU programs for HardSPL/Radios/WM6 ROMs should now run as desired once you are synced with WMDC. Since we have updated the driver which vista uses when the device is in bootloader mode.
Can this be made a Sticky please..??

Followed your Steps on Win7 x64 but WMDC doesnt connect do my device although I re-enabled USB connections. Digital Driver signing is disbaled.
No it did work, I just didnt get it
Write this into the wiki plx, really helpful.

All done till the driver installation.
But start from task manager and so on, it's failed to connect.
Am i doing wrong?

Just try to flash, at my side WMDC shows no connections either but flashing is possible.

After i installed the drivers then i started WMCD and re-enable USB connections and then took out my cable out of the phone then put it back in and it connected..

Method with no install
What I have been doing with Win7 without installing any drivers is
- Put phone in bootloader mode (press power and left OK button while pressing the reset button on bottom)
- Start the RUUWrapper
This of course assumes that you have hardSPLed the phone and select the right options, no autodetect
This is what I have been doing for a while now, I dont recall updating any drivers or activesync/mobile center
