ROM Upgrading under Windows Vista - is it possible?

Hi there!
Want to repeat my post here:
Did anybody have successfull tries to update ROM from Vista? I can't do it with AKU3.2 beta8 by standart way, can't do it with MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe (got 'ERROR 150 ROM UPGRADE UTILITY ERROR'), can't do it with mtty (can't choose USB, only COM). Is it avaliable another way to do ROM upgrade?

No

Thanks for irrefragable answer

If you have RC1 there is a problem with the Windows Mobile Device Centre (so im told!) and so no sync at all apart from folder and files. If you have the first Beta release it works on sync - duno about upgrade yet though.
I'm awaiting the fix....
:roll:

you can enable the WMDC in RC1...there is a thread on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61046&highlight=
that shows you how to enable it....mines working and sycing with Outlook 2007
ive not tried any sort of ROM action though...not willing to brick my wizard...

Damn - mine wont sync for love nor money!
I've done a hard reset - even reflashed the thing. Added the registry entry - forced WMDC.msi to install and still nothing - MWDC just crashed with a hideous error whenever i run it manually from control panel too!
AARRRGGGGHHHHH!!!

which version of vista are you on?

I am on RC1.... build 5600

strange, thats exactly the same as me.
all i did was ad the WHOS key, reboot, download, reboot....sync!

When i run WMDC i get:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): Class not registered (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80040154 (REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG))
at Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DeviceManager.IForeman.StartFactory(Guid factory)
at Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DeviceCenter.Program.Main()
Im not a happy bunny!

A little confused here is Windows Vista a ROM for the Universal? If so where do you download it?

Does Easysync Pro work with WM6?

I am interested in trying out these new WM6 roms. however, I was wondering if anyone knew if easysync pro will work with WM6.

Yes it works without any issues. I am using Easysync since 1.5 weeks on wm6.

Please - What version are you using?

What version of EasySynch Pro works with Windows Mobile 6?
I'm also interested in using EasySynch Pro to synch my WM6 Device? Bunique, what version of EasySynch Pro are you using?

mine is 4.2.5

Easysync pro works with wm6 since V4.2.2. U have to install to main memory.

I have v 4.2.4 and was unable to install it to my WM6 device. Are you sure about this? The system requirements for 4.2.4 list the following as supported:
Microsoft Pocket PC 2000 / 2002 / 2003 / Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 for Pocket PC devices (ActiveSync)
alanchia67: Where did you get 4.2.5? I don't see it listed on IBM's site.
Thanks,

1.-I'm quite sure on this.
2.-I got-it under IBM internal site (i'm an IBMer)
3. 4.2.4 should work. just install-it into the main memory and u have do do something (i don't remember what) to allow restricted operation on the PDA, this is a reg-hack or something, search xda and u will find!

ps. 4.2.5 is a fixpack

Thanks for your reply. I found an IBM article outlining 4.2.5 and support for WM6.
Perhaps it was a problem with allowing unsigned apps? I seem to recall a registry hack/cab available to fix that. enable_rapi?
It's a bit of a moot point now since I reverted back to a WM5 rom last night. Maybe I'll try reflashing a WM6 rom and see if i can get it going though a hack...unless of course you'd be willing to send me a copy of 4.2.5, for evaluation purposes.
Thanks!
-Brett.

sorry , can't do that.
Anyway, yes, , its is the unsigned apps problem.

First off, thanks for the reply. I hope this isn't in the wrong forum... I found this thread through a search and I was hoping it applied to me. I've got a Wizard (Cingular-branded 8125), but I am using WM6 & Easysync Pro.
I still can't get EasySync 4.2.4 to install. I get a series of errors when it's trying to install the cab:
First, "this program uses a file that is no longer supported please obtain an updated version of the program"
Then "unable to launch \windows\xcpcsyncsvr.exe: error 1411"
Finally, it says that it's installed, but it isn't. And Easysync on the PC reports that it can't connect.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-Brett.

Can't connect P3300 in Windows 7

Hi,
I'm running the beta of Windows 7.
I haven't been able to connect the P3300, it seems it can't find the drivers (in the device manager it says "unknown RNDIS device', or something like that).
The odd thing is that my other phone, a HTC tornado, was instantly recognised.
I'm running WM2k3 on the Tornado and Artemis 4.02 on my Artemis.
Could it be the fact that I have an unofficial ROM that it isn't recognised?
Or are there just not any drivers out yet? (as seen Win7 is a beta)

My htc p3300 is working with windows seven(7000)

So is mine. Did you try to download the Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 (that is not included in W7)?

Where can I get the beta??
Guys!!!
Where can I get the Windows 7 Beta from???
Is it possible for you to post it here????
I am sure many ppl would like to try it out...
Thanks in advance..
Manoj

I thought I had the same issue, but there was something more... The Windows firewall was blocking my Xperia-1 but not my Tytn-II
Finally it was a port settings in Windows 7. You have to open these ports:
Inbound TCP: 990, 999, 5678, 5721, 26675
Outbound TCP: 990
Outbound UDP: 5679
But because I am lazy and I have a very good configured firewall on my internet connection; I opened all the ports on my firewall for my local network.
Problem solved (it took me two days to find this solution)

Loading ROMs with Vista

Has there been any update on loading roms with Vista? Or do we still have to have an XP machine to configure our s620 with modified ROMs
If anybody can point me in the right direction.
Cheers

You can flash with Vista just the same as XP, XP is just preferred more stable method as uses active sync rather than WMDC, but i flash with Vista 64 all fine

Thanks for the update. Is there a sticky for that? or do I have to modify the xp one?

I have no problem flashing my Excaliber using Windows 7 Ultimate 64. I would assume Vista of any flavor can do it as well. I find Windows Mobile Device Center works better than the old ActiveSync application, at least on Windows 7.

[Q] Help rom upgrade

Hello everybody!
I recently found this old Qtek 9090 with Windows Mobile 2003, and I'd like to upgrade the OS to Windows Mobile 6 (in Italian) and then use it as a navigator...
I've already searched in this forum, but most of the links and downloads don't run, I suppose because this is an old matter...
I need also information about how to upgrade the rom... and I've read that I need also a "preparation pack" for WM2003 to use before upgrading, but I can't find a working link to the download.
Until now I found and downloaded this... "RC5 23698 Multi-Rom" by d-two... it is a .nbf file... but I actually don't know what to do with this file.
I apologize of having posted a new thread, I've already read a lot of posts in this forum, but the more I read, the more I get confused :S
I hope someone can help me, thanks a lot!

Yes, better you use XP, if you have wm2003 on the blueangel you must only connect it on the PC, if you have WM5 or higher you mus put the blueangel into bootloader modus!
