XP on Vista for flashing old HTC - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I did try to flash an HTC Universal and a HTC Breeze using a virtual WinXP as I only had Vista on my latest PCs....
So I did first test using VirtualBox: doesnt work, somehow the VM doesn't recognize the USB device
Did then try using VMWare: work fine!!!! So I have XP on VMWare and I can flash the HTC device connected to my PC, passing the USB device to the VM

Universal successfully flashed using VMWare and Windows XP

I don't know if anyone else have already tried but I've done it this morning.
Successfull.
Bye
Ubuntu Linux 6.1.0
VMWare Workstation 5.5.3
Windows XP Professional SP2
Tried sometime back, but getting Activesync to detect the PPC is a little tricky. If detection works, flashing isn't a problem.
hi, what is your Host system, is it Ubuntu,
I have Vista as the Host OS, and XP Pro in VMware. VMware ver.6.0. I will try it I guess.
I tried flashing from a VMware guest - but it failed.
host: Linux 2.6 Gentoo
guest: WinXP SP3.
vmware server 2.0.1.
Phone: HTC Touch diamond
I does detect the phone - and activesync works fine.
But when trying to flash, the device reboots into "flashmode" - and eventough I attach the device to the guest - windows says it cannot regionise the device.
Any suggestion to getting flashing working in a vmware server 2.0.1 setup?
I managed to use Virtual XP Mode in Windows 7 RC to flash only the main ROM image a couple of times. When trying to flash a complete ROM (main, extROM, radio) it failed somewhere after 80 percent on the radio ROM. I reflashed using another PC with XP to fix the No GSM error.

Win7 x64 and recovery (no connection to phone)

Hey folks,
been searching and searching without any luck so far, trying to find a solution to my phone not being reconzied if i put it in recovery (volD+boot, back+power), windows sees it fine if i open the phone normally and connect it to the pc.. and i can use the ADB shell to detect it
# ../../..: adb devices
but no adb connection if the phone is in volD+power or back+Power.
sometimes Windows detects the Android 1.0 in Device manager but i wont find the drivers no matter what kind/version i fetch off the interwebz and no matter where i put it. i worked once and now the connection is just broken...
i have gotten sick and tired of the fact that i cannot get paid APPS and that the phone is filled after like 10 APP installs so i decided to root specially cause there now was a fix for the brick ...
but it seems like im pretty stuck .. neither of the 2 Rooting methods work cause of the lacking connection.... barghh...
I hope my english is not to horrible for you to read...
Kind Regards
Vicster

Hi!!! i have this problem!!! Help we please!!!
I want use usb connection for tether, but driver not found or error connection.

Thanks a lot for the help!
Noob question. .. did u installed htc sync? It contain USB driver 4 Windows. ..
Yeah. I have installed HTC sync and the drivers, and i have downloaded the exctracted drivers and tried to point android 1. 0 to Them, but all w7 does is tell me that it did not find any drivers for the device.
Install the leatest HTC Sync....
Boot the Phone normally and activate USB-Debugging.
Wait for Windows this installed the driver....
boot your phone into recovery and now you have driver...
Worked for me
Windos 7 Ultimate x64
Do not plug your phone on any kinds of USB HUBS, USB Extender cabels, Front PC USB ports, or any kind of strange PC cards with USB ports.
Also use only original HTC cabel which you got with your phone.
Plug your phone in first USB port on the motherboard closes to the mouse and keyboard.
My phone wasnt recognized by ADB while it was conected to front USB ports, but other things where working fine (Sd card browsing and copying)
Try and report back if it helps.
I plugged it with the OEM HTC cable, also installed the latest HTC Sync, with both latest HTC and Android SDK x64 drivers, it just doesn't work..
On win 7 64 too.
Motherboard asus p5k,my device is working only with the rear usb port.
Must be a question of usb amperage...
Works fine for me, W7 x64 Ultimate, but I only use Windows to get into recovery - linux to root the phone initially

[Q] HTC ONE M8 + Windows 7 64bit Enterprise usb drivers

Hi There,
HTC ONE M8 Usb is not recognized under windows 7 64-bit enterprise.
tried drivers from HTC sync and tried stand alone drivers.
On a different pc 32bit running windows ultimate it works immidiatly as well as on a VMWARE machine.
any advice please?
Thank you!!!
anyone?!
The latest version of HTC sync drivers should work. However you will have problems with 3rd party drivers on 64bit systems as they are generally not signed and Windows 64 bit will not allow use of these drivers unless you disabled driver signing enforcement

unfortunatly that didnt do any change.
whatever i do windows does not except the driver. I plug in the phone and immidatly it shows with a exclamation mark in the device manager.
tried different ports and different cable, i uninstalled any previous smartphone drivers and software, although it works just fine with another computer running windows 7 (32bit).
any hint on how to troubleshoot?
thank you!!
Solved!
solved by using 3rd party software (wierrrd)
1. install moborobo http://www.moborobo.com/
2. plug the phone with "Usb debugging" ON
3. Accept the "not signed" driver warning
4. It will now automatically install the driver succesfully after which you can uninstall moborobo and the drivers will still work

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Worked fine for me when I installed it on my work laptop running the same version of Win 7. I've got admin rights but explicitly ran the downloaded file as administrator and once I had connection confirmed, I deleted the synch manager portion of the installation (hey, great idea - let's make people download and install 130Meg of files just to get Windows device drivers... NOT)
i actually found another way to work with this...
search google for windows xp mode. it will take you to the microsoft website and it will download a pc virtualizer with xp built in. the software is windows xp 32 bit. i just unlocked my bootloader using this and it works great

Troubles connecting HTC 10, M9 to Windows 7

I'm not able to get my HTC 10 or HTC M9 phones to connect via USB to my PC with windows 7 (I want to unlock the boot loader(s) etc.). It installs the first driver when you connect and switch to installing drivers, but then when I switch to file transfer mode it tries and says it failed to install the driver.
I also installed HTC Sync Manager or whatever it's called that didn't do any good.
I am able to connect my Pixel 2 and a Blu Vivi XI+, and a Moto X4 all can transfer files. It seems like every one of them was a pain to load the drivers as well though, I know the Pixel 2 was recently anyhow.
I don't know why it's so hard is it just windows 7 or just me or what?
