How to upgrade rom in Vista?

I recently install Vista RTM6000 on my laptop. But I found that I can not upgrade my universal rom ever.
Is there somebody successfully upgrade rom in Vista? And how can I do it?

At this point upgrading roms under vista is impossible, because RUU software is incompatible with Vista

The current way I do it is to install Virtual PC 2007 and run XP to do any flashing...it's a cludge but it works.

oh,thanks very much,I can't refresh the rom for long time,but couldn't find out the reason.HoHo, that's just because I'm using Vista 6000.

Thanks, but a little sad. Vista does not runs so fast on my laptop. I have already two operation system installed. I really won't to install an another one...

How it works?, in my virtual XP, it doesn't recognize the prsence of any external devices, not only the jasjar but also the printer, webcam , and so on> Do you have any tricks to do that??

WM6 and Vista Sync

Hi all.
Finally update my M3100 to WM6 (thanks to LVSM) and i can't connect with my Windows Vista desktop using latest driver from Microsoft.
I can connect with Windows XP box with Active Sync 4.5 without any problem.
Anyone get this working or am i crazy?
Thanks all.

Windows VISTA has a new activesync.
If you connect your device, you should see that Vista auto detects your phone.
But you can't install programs etc.
Then you have to run Windows Update to dowload an additional package, so you
can install programs etc.
So if your Vista ain't that legal, then don't try.

I had installed the XDA Live 0.1 last week without issues (via WinXP)
When I tried to upgrade to the 0.2 it hung in boot loader (tri-colour screen), while using Vista w/ AS4.5.
I had to hard reset to get it to go back to 0.1, but it hasn't really been the same since.
I d/l the new WM6 LVSM and tried to upgrade, but it also hangs in tri-colour mode.
Now is it a problem because I'm running Vista?

If I am not mistaking, you can't upgrade with Vista.
There is a workaround for it, but standard it's not possible.
Upgrade trough Windows XP.

Thanks I was thinking i could just use Vista.
I guess I should have just stayed on XP on my primary PC instead of upgrading to Vista so damn quick...LOL

Well, i expose my complete experience with Vista (of course legal copy )
I have one Qtek 9100 and one TyTN (SPV M3100 Spanish Orange).
days ago both of them with WM5 (original branded)
Yesterday move qtek 9100 to WM6, but can't do with Vista so i do in a VMWare Windows XP box running into Vista with VMWare Workstation (this works very fine). once the 9100 was WM6, Vista says taht the device is new and can't find the driver, but one day before works fine.
So today upgrade my TyTN with the same, put the RUU in the XP box, and works fine, but the same results in Vista and Mobile Sync. Works with SM5 but not with WM6. But in XP box, works with boths.
I think MS checks the OS version in Vista Sync, so you can't sync if the OS version isn't in the list of legal OS mobile.

I am running Windows Vista Ultimate and have WMXL 0.20 on my phone.
I can connect my phone to vista and i can browse my phone. I see the storage card and the internal memory.
You can't install application trough this.
If you want to install application when using Windows Vista, connect your phone with the USB cable, wait for Windows to detect your phone and install the drivers, then run Windows Update.
Then it will download an package so you can install applications.

Windows Vista uses the new Mobile Sync Center hence the RUU cannot connect with your PDA... if you replace the Mobile Sync Center drivers with the activesync ones you can get it to work...
there is a search button on the top right of this forum... as this topic has been discussed and answered many times before i suggest you use the search feature as it works wonders....

I installed Windoes Mobile Device Center on Vista, and I did not have a problem getting it to recognize my hermes w/ XDA-live 0.20. I did nothing special, just plugged it in, it was recognized, I configured it, and it syncs no problem.

Ok, i dosn't express correct. The question is the conectivity, not so only run RUU, but get acces to device.
With Vista (spanish version) i can't get acces to WM6, and i try two devices, Qtek 9100 and TyTN. a couples of days before both of them were with WM5 and can access without any problem. So i think Vista can read the version my devices says to be and be confused with the driver to use. Were can i find the drivers to make this work. Anyone says i can put activesync 4.5 drivers in Vista, is this correct?
So i must to connect to my XP box into VMWare and access trought this. so i can access and update usgin RUU.
Thanks.

I'm in your same situation.
Im my case, Vista dosn't find the correct driver for my M3100 with LVSW WM6 (perhaps i make a mistake installing, i'll reinstall Vista soon ) In XP box no problem to do that, and gain Internet connection from M3100 to get sync with Exchange server trought Internet.
How do you set the connection in Device Center?

Everything is working fine under vista for me.
I am able to:
-use ICS through USB, PAN
-manage installed programmes
-browse the device
...
I am using an english vista + an english WM6 tytn ROM

Anyone else notice that with XP and Activesync you can see and browse to your Windows folder on the PPC, but through Vista that folder is completely hidden and there seems to be no way to browse it??

You just need to enable viewing of System folders in Folder options

I'm using Vista since the first day and I have updated my TyNT with LVSW ROM and everything works.
Bluetooth activesync / USB activesync / Pairing with Outlook 2007 / Seeing all the files on Main Memory and Storage Card....
All put in one word, everything is perfect.
Only one thing hasn't worked : I haven't been able to update using Vista.

FLASH disaster

I was becoming an expert in flashing...but the cable became undone during a flash :-(
Now it restarts to a blank screen with R1.50.08.11 / G32.83.7020 etc. but goes no further.
Computer no longer sees device.
Used hard keys to go into bootlocker. (IPL 0.50 / SPL- 1.07.000)
My VISTA :-( computer sees device.
Then try RUU, but this gives a 270 error.
Tried moving to XP, but the computer does not install the software for the USB port, so now the RUU gives 200 error. Arrgh.
Question: How to update from a very corrupted ROM? Or where can I find the drivers for the USB port, for XP. and if I do can I do the update from the hard bootlocker?
Any help really appreciated!
MS

Update
Found USB drivers for Windows XP
But getting identical problem as with Vista :-(
Device not seen unless in bootlocker mode.
RUU starts and after 1% quits with 270 error - image file corrupt.
Tried RUU a hard SPL (olipro) but same 270 error occured.
Help still needed...
MS

I think you have to flash original HTC rom prio to try other roms

i got a similar problem here, my vista can find trinity only when it is in bootloader mode.
my experience is that connect tinity to vista when it is in bootlader mode, then i can flash a new rom.
after that tinity can sync with vista only via bluetooth.
for your case, maybe you really need restore your trinity to official rom first.

The trinity upgrade guide does not help here.
I can connect to device I have sorted out all the VISTA and XP issues.
The problem is at 1% status the 270 error occurs.
The telephone is actuall a Swisscom 1510. Original ROM was lost in first flashing, have searched but not found official update.
Is there a mini-ROM or a windows WM5 lite ROM which may overwrite what happens while still using the hard bootloader?
MS

Use SD card method.
See wiki page.

Hi,
...or .... MTTY Procedure....
BYE, Bobo

Tried SD card method - nothing happens. Just sits in Bootloader :-(

Try this procedure
In windows Vista use the attached driver in order to recognize your Device.
If your device is already recognized from windows vista replace the drivers with the drivers in the zip drive.
You have to use the drivers in the attached file not the windows default drivers VERY IMPORTANT!!!
After your Windows vista recognized your device try to flash it
Cheers

Thanks for all the help....but still I am having no success.
The HTC trinity is recognised in both Vista and XP when I use bootloader. (ie HTC USB SYNCH in device manager. Without boot loader the device is more or less dead.
I tried the SD crard trick - nothing happens.
Tried mtty.exe - just get cannot open USB port (on both VISTA and XP).
Nevertheless, the bootloader sees the USB port and the RUU goes to 1% then stops so some communication is happening.
Any other ideas?
MS

The final and, j' m sure, the definitive solution:
Try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308691&highlight=stack+in+bootloader

Just before I try splxploit, as a note I got this out of mtty
Cmd>info 8
Block 0x0(0) is Reversed block
...
Block 0xC(12) is Reversed block
Block 0x335(821) is BAD block !!!
Seems my problem must be here. Is there another fix besides splxploit?
MS

Install Olipro hardspl 1.20.

Dear, carefully look that thread again. Stack overflow for Trinity.
It's all my advise. I think you don't do right "Stack method" to get out your problem.
Best regard.(rest calm and do it again).

Uhm, try to download some rom again? and try Rom NVID (no vendor ID) for example. ???

Quick update...
Tried SD card - get 00068002 loading .... then goes to IPL0.5 SPL 1.07
mtty info 8 shows bad blocks
task 2a doesn't clear bad blocks because of CID lock
Tried various hard-SPL OLIPRO 1.2 1.3 etc, to unlock CID - to no avail.
Can the CID not be unlocked through mtty?

So you haven't yet tried splxploit?

END of STORY
YESSS!
POF you are a genius - Splxpoilt worked a dream.
Had to run unbrick.bat once. Hit soft reset, and run again as explained in the readme.
This got a good SPL on the machine - then a standard RUU worked a dream.
At the same time I got the SD card update working too...
OK, OK, so I should have tried splxpoit earlier. But I think I had to do the rest first to understand what was going on.
Strange thing is if I look at my machine again under mtty, there is still the Bad block (821). Who cares, I am unbricked!!!
By the way, this board is just completely amazing.
THANKS TO ALL....

i have the same problem
could you help me . how did you repair your spv?

Can't exit bootloader screen

Hi,
I tried to upgrade my XDA using Ranju's latest updater, the whole process failed and now I'm stuck at the BL screen "USB" at the top (when connected, otherwise it says "serial") and "v1.00" at the bottom.
My PC, SyncCentre and Windows Mobile Device Centre (I'm using Vista) all show the device as being disconnected (up until trying to upgrade everything had been fine).
As it's not showing up on my PC all of the software options for recovering it dont fail, all end with a plethora of USB not connected errors etc
I've tried the how-to on the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_Stuck_Bootloader_Serial to no avail.
Does anybody have any ideas? Greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Lee

with jasjar-bl1.01-ruu-v1.2 I always restart my JJ Leave your uni in bl and start the application Good luck......
I think the Vista is not the problem this upgrade don't use AS or "in italian centro gestione dispositivi WM"
Bye
M.C.

Well, I flashed my Qtek a while ago, it failed to flash (using Vista) and doing a hard reset after it whas hanging at the startupscreen(the one with all the rom/radio numbers). No matter what I tried, following the instructions on Vista windows mobile center all failed... The good news is that your computer and your PDA still see when it is connected, ie USB/Serial, like in my case!
I then tried it on my desktop/XP, it flashed without a problem...
The funny bit is that I flashed my herald (WM6) 2 times using Vista without any problem...
I cannot explain but if U have the possibility, try and see if it works on XP...!
Good luck!

are you trying to flash it WITH your SIM card and / or SD card inside? If so, try taking them both out! It worked for me a few times!

I would start by getting rid of vista !

i had the same xprience
the different was i downgrade from wm6 to wm5 (i need the vcall)
failed in vista, succeed in xp
-> my advice : try in xp !! don't forget to remove the sd card

Manual for how to flash a rom in Vista
Read this post, you have the solution to the problem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001
You need to update the driver manually, if not, will not be able to install the driver.
You need to do this without sd/sdhc and without the sim.
If you follow these instructions, you can flash with success.

Artemis noob needs help for WM 6.1 upgrade

Hello,
i just got my artemis and tried to upgarde it...
But any Rom I downloaded causes errors while flashing...
Something like USB connection error [260] and something like file corrupt error [270]...
I found also how to unlock cid but that doesn´t work to...
I use Vista and the new mobile device center 6.1 and my artemis is an german o2 version.
I get the same errors if i use XP and activesync 4.5....
Any suggestions????????????
I don´t know how to go on. And I didn´t find any Thread that helps me...
Hope anyone could help me...Thx!

Hi ,
First , i sugger you to use XP . I never can upgrad with Vista ( i have vista ultimate )
I do this with xp :
1.First be sure activ sync is active when you put your p3300 on your usb
2.Download this version of uspl (it always work for me with this version ) :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PTFMGKAD
3.Choose your rom . I suggest you this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401062
4.Unzip the first file you download in 2. You will find a file called RUU_USPL_signed.nbh. Delete it and remplace by the .nbh you dowload in 3.
5.Run start_uspl.exe

Hi,

I can't be sure but it may be something to do with XP SP3. I had the exact same problem but when I tried it on another laptop (same hardware) with XP SP2 it worked fine
