Ok I searched on the forums hard for this one so forgive me if this has already been answered. I see to find people with Windows Mobile 6 and Windows XP or people with Windows Vista but Windows Mobile 5.
Since I'm running Vista, I use Windows Mobile Device Center instead of ActiveSync. The functionality of the program is fine, so I have no complaints. However, to upgrade ROMs or anything...I use an XP Machine as it seems Vista seems to think the device disconnects upon the loading of the bootloader. I've read somewhere in the forums that there is a driver update to fix that, but after applying...WMDC doesn't work properly...so I'd save the trouble and use a machine that has XP running instead until a better fix comes along.
My 8525 came stock with a program called Wireless Modem as of ROM 1.34.502.1 shipped, which seems to have been replaced by Internet Sharing.
The Wireless Modem application worked fine after setting up the modem with the Vista driver also found in the forums. I also tested the bluetooth connection and set that up to tether as well and it worked fine.
I finally decided to upgrade after days of reading and I tried to use the Wireless Modem feature. I noticed it wasn't there and tried to use Internet Sharing. The layouts are similar...but when I hook up the phone under USB, my computer doesn't even recognize it as a new device (modem) as I did uninstall the last driver.
When connected via Bluetooth, it recognized the device and installed the driver as Windows Mobile-based device support by default. Under services, only Active Sync is only available...as opposed to before when I had Dial-Up networking available. When I set up a PAN, the computer and device are connected together, however I do get the same problem as some others with a connection that is limited or local only. So the tethering is unsuccessful.
I recently upgraded my Cingular 8525 to WM6BE v1.2 (Cingular Edition)...which I can't seem to find in the threads anymore. I'm also running Radio 1.38.00.11...but I don't think that would affect anthing. I reverted back to my shipped ROM to check for alternate settings that might have helped...then I was going to revert back to WM6BE v1.2 Cingular...then I realized I accidently deleted that custom ROM and I couldn't find it anymore. I was stuck putting on the WM6BE v1.2 on the sticky thread after which forced me to reinstall the data settings/keyboard fix from the cab files. Haven't had problems with them but I did like that customized ROM for Cingular a little better considering I really like "clean" ROMs.
Anyway, I'm attempted to connect via MEdia Net AND Cingular GPRS settings provided by the Cingular Data Settings cab floating around the forums. It works fine it seems...it just seems like the problem is getting Vista to recognize the device as a modem, or at least having modem capabilities.
I guess thats as detailed as I can get right now. Hopefully someone can help now ^_^
You are right. I tried updating rom on Vista's Windows mobile Device and end up damaging my xda2i. The device displays "USB" when connected to cradle and "Serial v1. 01" when not. Do you have a solution apart from upgrading?
Solution on Vista
Hello Guys, I'm running vista too and I bothered 2 hours before getting it done.
So this is one of the "Step-By-Step Instruction Guides".
0. Extract the attached file into a directory of your choice
1. Disconnect your Device
2. Goto Settings > Connections and choose "USB To PC"
3. Uncheck the option there
4. Reconnect your Device
5. Goto your DeviceManager and search for "HTC USB Sync", double click it and choose Drivers
6. Click on the "Update Driver"-Button and choose search on the computer
7. Click "Choose a driver from list..."
8. Click the button to the right (Open from Media)
9. Choose any INF File from the extracted ones.
10. You're done, upgrade your ROM.
11. To Rollback drivers, use the "Automatic Update" instead of Manually selecting (it will choose the newest ones)
12. Recheck the option of step 2 unless you're planning to use the slow variant.

Have I understand right? With this tweak We will be able to applied ROM upgrades to our HERMES from windows VISTA?
Confirmed.
I did already update my ROM in this way.
Cheers,
soniX
EDIT:
Please use HardSPL or something equal to be sure the risk is at a minimum.
And I can not be held responsible for any damage to your Hermes or your Brain
But as I said, for me it worked perfectly, remember to Restore the new Drivers or the Mobile Device Center will not work.
Hmm I don't think you people understand what I was asking...
I already know about that method to update with Vista...I actually tried it yesterday and for some reason it didn't work so I just use an XP Machine for now...but I was just asking merely about TETHERING.
I already have the ROMs of my choice loaded on my device.
In simpler words: How do I go about tethering (Running Internet Sharing) when my computer does not recognize the device as a modem...through USB or Bluetooth.
I'm running WM6BE v1.2 and Windows Vista Ultimate.
Maybe its Wm6BE, but I have used all the other roms (xda live, des, lsvw) and all I do is plug in the usb, start internet sharing and it connects no problem. Have to start internet sharing before wmdc starts. Internet Sharing works great, better than wireless modem. I was not able to use the WM6be due to problems with sbp pocket plus. I am currently using XDA live .30 and Vista Ultimate.
Does the technique in the post above work??
Also once that procedure is carried out can rom updates and RUU programs be used exactly the same as on XP??
If anyone is available to do some screenshots for me for an updated GUIDE, please PM me (i dont use or have a copy of vista )
I enjoy the community so I think I'll do my best to contribute to it. When I get the chance, I'll try to make a guide with screenshots on using Windows Vista and loading WM6.
I'm going to try to switch to LVSW build with his new update today and I'll see how that works out.
I REALLY like the one custom build someone made (I forgot who) with the Cingular connection settings defaulted from the Cingular Shipped ROMs...I wish I can find those files again.
It seems like the people developing the new Cingular data connection cab files are really working hard at getting the default settings as if they just bought their phoes straight from Cingular.
I'll let you know how LVSW goes with Internet Sharing and Windows Vista

Also, I've seen this guide posted twice...yours missing one step where I was supposed to "End WMDC.exe Process in Task Manager"
I still can't get Vista to run RUU...do you run the RUU with your device in Bootloader? I think I even tried that once and and still couldn't get it to work with the older Driver.
Not exactly sure what I'm missing or doing wrong...but its definitely after I install the driver. It acts as if I didn't install it at all, even if I check in drive details and its all correct in there.
i tried the method above for upgrading in vista and it didnt work for me...
what am i missing?
Where is it stopping?
Because I did it once, it has to work.
Where is it stopping? - At the bootloader (LSD-Screen with psychedelic colors ?) - or before ?
I will do an upgrade in the afternoon again and this time i will record ALL of my steps.
Hopefully I'll find the recept for the cake.
Cheers,
soniX
Yea it gets to the bootloader screen and I'm stuck as if I never loaded the AS4.5 drivers.
Sorry, too less time today for a screenshot-decorated guide.
I just upgraded my device again (only to proove it does work).
So here is again a guide, which differs to the first one.
I guess there are two ways to do this...
Prequesites:
- Search my previous post and download the USBAS.zip-File
- Extract it into a directory...
- You'll need your device and it has to be connected, too
The first approach:
Change the Serial-Driver
- On the device click Start > Settings, choose "Connections" there and click on "USB to PC"
- uncheck the item for "Enhanced..." there
- Click on OK.
- Now goto your Device Manager.
- Search an Item named "HTC USB Sync".
- Right-click it and choose "Update Driver".
- Choose the second option, then select to choose manually
- Select the directory where the zip has been extracted to and choose any inf file.
Start the Update-Tool
- After the driver-update you need to set the device back to RNDIS-Mode (follow Step 1 and recheck the option)
- Verify that you're running the correct drivers for the RNDIS-Device, the date in the device-manager has to be around January, 17th 2007.
- Start the ROM-Upgrade.
- It should work now.
For me it did not really work to switch from RNDIS to USB-Serial drivers in my localized (thanks bepe for the great work!) german WM6.
So if you have a problem with the first method use this one.
- Start your Device-Manager, we have to be very fast.
- Start the ROM-Upgrade as you've probably done before
- If the bootloader starts up, you'll notice a device/dettached,device/attached sound, this is your sign, goto to you Device-Manager.
- Search for the Entry "HTC USB Sync".
- Update drivers like it's written above.
- If it won't work and the upgrade tool dies with "cannot connect", don't worry. Reset your device (soft) and try again, this time you should not need to update the drivers.
Cheers,
soniX
I'm using XP and a USB cable. USed to work OK before upgrading to WM6 Black but now I get Error 797 on the PC saying modem not found or busy!

Take a look here
Code:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977
For Vista guide with screen shots, so far i've only flashed HardSPLv4 from inside Vista, but it worked i'm still plucking up enough courage to do a full flash of WM6
Nic
I do this (for Hard-SPL, don't know for other):
I have made what it was written on modaco (http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=252977), but
1) I was not in bootloader.
2) While active sync try to connect (but it does not succeed because they are not its driver) I've stopped WMDC.EXE and now hermes is connected.
3) NOW I do a flash.
If there is something that is not clear you say it to me.
My method also works (for me)
Can somebody confirm that my method works for vista?
soniX
I'm based also to your method, but it would be more complete to integrate it with the method on modaco.
It seems that most people didn't get the point of this thread...weird considering I put TETHERING in the subject line. However, it is nice to see people trying to help others with Vista to flash. I have the same problem myself but access to machines with XP nullify my real need for flashing on Vista for now.
I'm about to reinstall LVSW's latest ROM set for the billionth time and I'll try out tethering on that. It seems that people who were on WM6BE were having a hard time with Internet Sharing. I'll load a new rom and let you know how it goes.
i'm using vista right now...so active sync 4.5 can be installed to vista....yes i know so i tried to download wmdc using proxy.org since www.microsoft.com won't load....i followed all the steps,choosing english 32-bit to download and i was stopped when it asked me to give validation code...where to find validation code???when i hit continue i was asked to either run it or open it....but in my pc it says that i must either find it or save it....so i saved it and ended up couldn't open to get the validation code....any solution???cos a pda that can't sync with pc is more than a joke rite???desperate
You mean the windows genuine validation? You have to download and run a seperate app first to pass genuine check and then it will let you download the program for vista. I just did it yesterday on my buddys laptop with vista. If that is not what you mean, then I dunnno what you are reffering to...
Happy New Year Everyone.
Alright, i just upgraded to vista and when i plug in my phone it tries to install the driver but cant find them.. So when go into control panel and go to the windows mobile divice center (this replaced activesync....WTF) i little screen pops up and says device connected.. what do i do?
I fixed it for anyone who is having this problem just connect ur device go into control panel windows update and download the updaters!

k ill give it a try im crossing my fingers cause this is the only bad expericance with vista so far. besides it not letting me install windows media player..
It says update could not be installed because at least one windows componet required by windows mobile device center is missing. this is starting to piss me off
whats an alternative to activesync any free download ones? Cause i wanna upgrade my rom soon.
On July 2, Samsung released WM 6.5 for the Epix / i907. It is available here:
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/mobile/mobile-phones/at-t-phones/SGH-I907ZKAATT/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=support
Q: How do you get the Samsung official WM 6.5 upgrade for the Epix / i907 to work on Windows 7 64bit?
The trick is to get the drivers installed and then the Vista 32-bit installer works fine. You can get the drivers from:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/200708/20070813082717640_Samsung_USB_Driver_Installer.exe.
Run this install program. It will put the drivers in Program Files (x86)/Samsung but installation won't work. Next open the device manager and then update the driver for each of the non-working devices... Select the Program Files (x86)/Samsung directory. Windows 7 will successfully find and install the drivers.
Note that you will also need to set the USB connection mode to "Modem". This is located in Settings / Connections / USB Connection Mode.
Q: Does HTC CM Internet WiFi Sharing work on the official Epix WM 6.5 release?
Yes. But to get it to work I also needed to install and RUN the Topaz CommManager. Start CommManager running and then start CM Internet Sharing. See this thread for details.
http://www.modaco.com/content/i9x0-omnia-http-omnia-modaco-com/290496/cm-wifi-internet-sharing/.
Note that the Topaz CommManager works but is not as clean as the default Wireless Manager. Also I installed the Application Unlocker from:
http://www.mysamsungepix.com/hacks-and-mods/application-unlockers/samsung-epix-application-unlocker/
But not sure this was necessary.
Q: How do you get rid of the Startup and Shutdown animations and noise.
The following works on the official update.
http://www.mysamsungepix.com/hacks-and-mods/other-hacks-and-mods/silent-startup-and-shutdown/
Q: Does this patch update the radio? Does this patch fix the ID1 GPS issue? How can I tell if the update was successful?
The patch updates the phone, radio, and fixes GPS issues with ID1.
To confirm a successful update type *#1234# into the phone. According to the Samsung FAQ both the PDA and Phone field should be 'pi907UCJD1'.
Some people are reporting an occasional hang during the update process and consequently the radio is not updating. Try it again.
Q: How is battery life?
So far battery life has proven to be as good if not better than the original rom.
Q: Is GPS working?
GPS works without issue with the latest versions of both Bing and Google maps.
Bing turn-by-turn voice-announced navigation is working great.
The latest versions of Google and Bing maps are available in the Marketplace.
Q: How can I configure the Today screen?
One easy way to do this is with the free "Home Screen Customizer" available in the marketplace. Works great.
Q: Can I reorganize the Start Menu?
You can use file explorer to navigate to \Windows\Start Menu. Then cut and paste. It looks like the shortcuts are no longer locked in ROM.
Seems to Work
Several people have asked how well the official Samsung WM 6.5 upgrade / patch is working...
My experience is very positive; no issues so far.
And it seems fast.

I'm writing this response as I had a whole hell of a lotta trouble getting this to flash properly and ended up having to figure out some stuff for myself and here are my steps:
Assumptions = I am using Win 7 64bit, w/ windows mobile device center in normal setup, My windows is genuine which may be required to get the driver from Windows Update
1 = make sure phone is off with battery removed. I'd have the usb cable in so you can get it going as quick as possible.
2 = download and run an application called USDL Grand Prix (the vista version works on win7). You'll have 2 find the dl yourself unfortunately, but googling 'usdl grand prix vista' is your best bet.
3 = under select a profile, choose: Grand Prix LV Image
4 = hit the pda button &browse to the 'bin' format image you downloaded at the start of the thread
5 = review step 7 so you can be ready to do it in a timely manner!
6 = under 'grand prix's step 3, select detect
7 = place the battery back in the samsung and hold the vol up key, the ok key, and hte power key and wait for grand prix to start doing its thing and a green status bar to begin growing freakishly at the bottom of the 'samsung' screen.
8 = once the 'grand prix' says 'pda finished!!' in the status area, you are ready to remove and replace your battery then power on as normal!
YAY, how easy is that?

Download the following files:
* Windows Mobile 6.5 build 23017 15MB page pool BIN (Mirror 1)
o Check the first post of this thread for newer BIN versions
o Microsoft contacted me and told me to take PDA6.5_15mbPP.bin of mysamsungepix.com
* USDL GrandPrix v1.6.4 (Windows XP/Vista/Win 7) (Mirror 1) (Mirror 2, XP) (Mirror 2, Vista)
1. Verify that your Samsung Epix can connect to your Windows computer via USB. You should be able to browse your Samsung Epix in My Computer > Mobile Device and/or make a successful connection via ActiveSync. If you cannot do this, the GrandPrix program most likely will not see your Epix.
2. Turn off your Samsung Epix, but it connected to your Windows computer via USB.
3. Start USDL GrandPrix (Windows 7 users run the Vista version)
4. Under “Select a profile” choose “GRANDPRIX LV image”
5. Click the “PDA” button and locate the Windows Mobile 6.5 BIN file.
6. Press the Detect button in USDL GrandPrix
7. Power on your Samsung Epix
8. Wait for the process to full complete (mine idled at “Writing Dummy CSC Header” so I moved to the next step and everything was fine).
9. Power off your Samsung Epix (may require a battery pull if your CSC Headers hang).
10. Power on your Samsung Epix.
11. The first “boot” of your Samsung Epix may take a while (up to 5 minutes) so don’t panic if your phone seems unresponsive at the orange Windows Mobile screen – be patient.
12. Complete the Windows Mobile 6.5 setup wizard and voila – Windows Mobile 6.5 on the Samsung Epix.

NEVERMIND. Finally ended up getting it to work. Not sure how but after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers many times it decided to finally flash.
5 column Start menu 320x320
i searched the other cooked wm6.5 threads and couldn't find any 5 column Start screen menus, so I uncabbed and modified the isangelous StartMenu cabs (link) for 320x320. I made 3 sets, the (5x4) looks best with EpixVGA:
Requirement:
1. These look best with EpixVGA or RealVGA installed, i prefer EpixVGA.
2. Remember, installing EpixVGA on WM6.5 will disable Internet Explorer 6. (but who needs PIE6 when there's Opera and Skyfire?) If you ever need PIE6 again, just uninstall EpixVGA and it'll work again.
Since the stock StartMenu file is in the rom, you cannot simply copy it to \Windows\ folder to make it stick, here's a simple instruction:
Instructions:
1. Unzip, Use Total Commander to Copy the StartMenu(5x4)_GridScene_320x320.cpr into your Epix's \windows\ folder.
2. Sort the Windows folder by filename, find the stock StartMenu_GridScene_320x320.cpr, and rename it by adding a few characters into the filename, for example StartMenuSTOCK_GridScene_320x320.cpr
3. Find the (5x4) file you just copied, and erase the "(5x4)" from the filename.
4. That's it. Confirm by simply Refreshing the screen, and you'll see the StartMenu_GridScene_320x320.cpr will have the new file date.
5. Soft reset.
these .cpr files are just .txt files, and you can open it and play with the values. If you're not using EpixVGA, just decrease the text size by 2 and the (5x4) will still look good. Request: can somebody re-CAB these 3 files again? or remind me which program/settings to use for the cab?
Thanks a lot for it, Atlaswing, great work!
Here are my screenshots of (6x4) and (5x4) configurations along with RealVGA (96dpi pack for build 28008) on fenrir's WM6.5.x 23668 with Robert Batman Blue skin.
EDIT: and btw... what exactly is EpixVGA? I've never heard of that. What are the differences between EpixVGA and RealVGA? trying to google something but with not much luck.

Its the same thing. Either one just changes the phone to 96dpi.
how come EpixVGA breaks PIE6 and RealVGA doesn't?
According to what I've found so far EpixVGA uses older 96dpi resource files which are not compatible with latest pocket IE.

isn't this all in the start menu/settings/sounds and notifications/event ?
or am i misunderstanding you?
you can select an event (ie Message: New Text Message) and decide if you want:
-play sound
-what sound to play
-repeat sound
-display message on screen
-flash light for...
-vibrate
i don't know if any of these options fall in the category of "delivery report" but this is what i thought of. hope its helpful.
Schaps has released the private beta TouchExperience and Windows Phone Device Manager....Maybe other developers can work with this program and make things happen even more than what we already have to work with.
Download
http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=783
Windows Phone Device Manager features:
Applications management: view, install/uninstall homebrew applications
File management: explore device, exchange files with your phone
Files & folders synchronization
Integration with Windows explorer
Send to Windows Phone (to send files, apps, ringtones, web links in one click)
Device backup (if MS allow it)
Device information
Add and manage custom ringtones
Send SMS, E-mail, notes directly from PC (without needing cloud services)
Shared clipboard with PC and phone
Programming sends notifications to phone
Initiate connection from PC or phone
Wireless connection support
Auto pairing (no need to enter PC or phone IP address)
Requirements:
Registred/unlocked Windows Phone 7 device
Windows Vista or Windows 7 32/64-bit
Windows Phone Developer Tools
.NET Framework 4.0
Julien Schapman's Apps for Windows Phone 7
TouchXplorer
Advanced Configuration Tool
Quick Settings
Registry Editor
Xbox Live Gamer Profile
You can initiate connection from both PC and device (tap PC Synchronization in TouchXperience to etablish connection from device). You can connect via USB or Wi-Fi, but the first time you have to connect via USB so WP Device Manager can deploy TouchXperience and your device can get your PC IP address.
In the current version you can't manually set the PC or phone IP address to connect, or change default ports.
Make sure port 8007 is not blocked by firewall on PC and port 8107 is reachable on device.
When WP Device Manager initiate a connection, if it can't connect to the phone, in case you are connected via USB it will launch TouchXperience, in other cases it will send a push notification to your phone asking you to manually launch TouchXperience
Some tasks requires that your phone screen is unlocked
It is not necessary to have Zune runing in order to use WP Device Manager.
If you have connection problems, try the following may help: unplug/replug your phone, close or start Zune, restart WP Device Manager, make sure your device is detected by Zune.
In order to use WP Device Manager from Windows Device Stage, you must have Windows 7 and driver signature verification disabled, unfortunately this is because Windows 7 recognize only digitally signed drivers.
Here is a registry fix for ppl having connection problems:
This thing doesn't work on all WP7 devices and is a pure HTC only app for the most part (good editable part)..On my DVP, the moment i connect the device, it crashes.
Neverthless, the developer has to get credit for the work he has done and support him.
Not sure what errors you may be getting when it crashes? It currently supports the following devices:
HTC HD7, HTC 7 Mozart, HTC 7 Trophy, HTC 7 Surround, HTC 7 Pro, HTC Arrive, HTC HD2, Samsung Focus, Samsung Omnia 7, Dell Venue Pro, LG Optimus 7, LG E900, LG C900.
I had connection problems when he first released to beta testers but that was at first...but all was worked out in the 2nd version..

HTC HD7, HTC 7 Mozart, HTC 7 Trophy, HTC 7 Surround, HTC 7 Pro, HTC Arrive, HTC HD2, Samsung Focus, Samsung Omnia 7, Dell Venue Pro, LG Optimus 7, LG E900, LG C900.
I had connection problems when he first released to beta testers but that was at first...but all was worked out in the 2nd version..

wow, nice. works here on LG Quantum (C900). thanks for the post.
edit: Capture only works within TouchExperience, not when I go out of it to the phone's native menu. in fact, it disconnects the phone when I do that (by design?).
when i install it says i need version 1.3.2 to connect. then one to download is 1.3.0

and when i launch it manualy i get:
TouchXperience version 1.2.3.0 or later is required

Go into settings and enable multitasking, then you should be able to capture

If you are not able to connect or if some features are not properly working, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and restart your PC...Also try delete touchexperience from phone then reconnect to pc and let it download and install it again to device to try get error about 1.3.2 as the current version is 1.3.0 for public release and beta testers is 1.3.2 i do believe ...sometimes it trys to look for updates and gives error, but all should be fine within the program after that error.

It's not there, go to the main menu (the one with PC Connection, Airplane mode, etc) tap the menu title and a menu will appear, tap settings and enable multitasking from inside there.

I was having this same problem and here is a great tip that might save some of you headaches.
1: If you are on windows x64 go grab a program called EasyBCD Install it and in the advance settings go to advanced and tick the box that says "Allow installation of unsigned drivers in x64"
2: Remember to install the windows phone developer tools if you haven't already.
3: Turn Zune on before loading the program and Run The Device Manager as Administrator.
Program does not crash and works great with my HTC

ah, talk to a beginner. thanks for this. wasn't obvious to me to tap that (although I am used to on my Zune ).
It must have taken the phone a while to adopt the settings. After a minute or so it was working. Thanks again!
how is the multitasking support? Does it work pretty well?
Nice ale broken -
Hi all,
I have a problem with the Samsung Omnia 7th
Repeatedly that you want me to version 1.3.2.0. File Explorer does not work, I do not load or information about the device tested on multiple devices ...
I hope to fix it
Also not able to launch TouchXperience, nor connect to my Quantum, even after a restart.
Works perfect on my E900

Make sure port 8007 is not blocked by firewall on PC and port 8107 is reachable on device.
When WP Device Manager initiate a connection and can't connect to the phone, in case you are connected via USB it will launch TouchXperience, in other cases it will send a push notification to your phone asking you to manually launch TouchXperience
Some tasks requires your phone screen to be unlocked
It is not necessary to have Zune runing in order to use WP Device Manager.
If you are not able to connect or if some features are not properly working, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and eventually restart your PC.
If you get a message "TouchXperience version 1.2.3.0 or later is required" it means Device Manager is not able to communicate with TouchXperience, to solve the problem, go to Settings in WP Device Manager, click Restore default settings and restart your PC.
