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.

Wm6 Usb/bluetooth Modem. Help!!!!!

Ive installed wm6 black and 3des.1 cooked roms of wm6 and I definitely want to keep wm6 for now, however I am totally unable to connect my Hermes to my laptop for use as a modem . I have tried the internet sharing option which seems to do nothing (on the old wireless modem app it would request drivers, when switched on this one just says 'limited or no connectivity' and doesnt request any drivers at all).
My favoured method however was to use bluetooth DUN, but when attempting to pair the devices with wm6 i simply get told 'Services requiring registration were not found by bluetooth settings. The specified device provides the following services: FTP, OPP and BIP'.......basically no DUN option there at all.
I have tried activating internet sharing via bluetooth before pairing and this made no difference.
Please help someone - I really like wm6 but I need to use my phone as a modem when I'm out and about. I had no problems with wm5.
My OS is XP Pro SP2 and the current ROM on my device is 3DES.1.
I've checked these forums for help with no luck, so any advice would be greatly appreciated

This has to do with the fact that ics doesn't work with the toshiba bluetooth stack.... If you change to the microsoft stack on yout XP laptop you will be able to use ICS.
Cheers,
HJ

only problem is, that not all PC bluetooth device have this choice, I mean change stack to microsoft.... before you buy any BT stick, look at manufarcuter web, if it is possible to use MS stack. I dont want to make propaganda for MSI products, but there is few BT, which have this choice. actually I using THIS one, and here is possible to install MS stack. here is manual, how to install this device with MS BT stack.
PS: this question has been answered XXX times, so try to search before ask

my bluetooth is integrated into my laptop, hence the convenience. why have microsoft taken a seemingly downward step in windows mobile 6 and made it even LESS compatible than before?!? seems a bit stupid to me.
Also this doesn't answer the question of why I am unable to connect my device via USB. I need this function for work. is there any way of installing the old wireless modem app as a simple solution?
thanks everyone for your help so far

i have same problem with my laptop , the BT device is built in and not supported by microsoft stack.
Also the usb is a problem , i installed activesync 4.5 but when i start internet sharing it tell there is no or limited network activity so doesn't work with usb too
Does someone know if widcomm stack can work too ?
i can confirm the microsoft stack work fine on pcs where the BT device is supported ....
Can someone help ???

Care to tell us what laptop are you using and what bluetooth stack involved because some hardware could be forced to be supported by the MS driver.

sorted
VDAVIDE, you may be pleased to hear this.
just TURN OFF BLUETOOTH in comms manager, go to internet sharing and select USB/T-mobile (or whatever your connection is called) then hit connect. It then just connects as a local area connection - no need for drivers - nothing - it's absolutely brilliant and means I can just plug and browse on any laptop. Screw the bluetooth connection, I'm sticking with USB - more reliable, more convenient and it charges my phone too.

THX for reply , but as i wrote also the usb is not working ... i tried as u wrote but the pc say " no or limited network activity , error is : can't get IP address from the device " .
@ Ciphol :
i'm running XP home with SP2 , my laptop is ASUS A6 series model Z92J with internal BT 183 2.0 + edr module ( manifactured by toshiba ) that seem to be an usb module .
The only BT stack supported by the BT183 is the ( obviously) toshiba stack .
I reistalled the BT183 toshiba drivers manually ( not the stack software ) but the module is ignored by MS stack....
I searched for drivers on the net but no lucky.
Any help is appreciated , thx again

Connection through USB supposed to be ok, hmm... but you can try to force the bluetooth hardware to be supported by the MS driver. Could you please do this and give me the details.
The step:
1. Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager
2. Find the unknown USB driver ( The one with the ? beside it)and right clicking on it > Properties > Details > Click the dropdown option and select 'Hardware Ids'
3. You will see something like 'USB\Vid_044E&Pid_300c&Rev_1915' and maybe 'USB\Vid_044E&Pid_300c'.
4. Write down the Ids. and post it here.

I hope you've given me the complete Ids.If so then try this one. Backup the original bth.inf inside \windows\inf\ folder and replace with the one from this archive. Now try to install again by pointing to the new bth.inf. But please uninstall any previous installation first. If not success then tell me since I'm trying to use the widcomm stack.

thx CYPHOL , i will try tomorrow
i'm added the original inf file for this device ...

I tried the Internet Sharing facility on my XP tower upstairs (which has never had Activsync on it) and it works just the same - no need for drivers - it's as if I'm just plugging an ethernet cable in.
Be interested to know if the same will be true of old laptops with SP1, as is mine at work.

I am trying to connect using USB and nothing happened. No activity or anything on the laptop and I can't connect to the Internet.
I am runnign Sony VAIO and I have ActiveSync 4.5. I have an MDA Compact III (with built-in GPS) running WM5 and it also have the "Internet Sharing" application. I connected this device with Internet Sharing running and all works well.
What am I missing frommy 8525/TyTn with WM6?

WM6 is using PANU whereas WM5 is using NAP as to connect through Bluetooth but if you use USB it should connect as is only that you have to switch the bluetooth off before making the connection.
FYI, I'm using Vaio VGN-TX37GP and can connect through both the USB and Bluetooth conns. after modifying the infos on the MS inf driver file.

Dear Cyphol, thx , i can now use my laptot with BT internet sharing using your modified bth.inf . MS stack is now running
Only one thing , the line you edited has an error but fixed and working

HTC Touch Diamond ROM 2.03.407.2 and Active Sync with two PCs

Hi together,
The new ROM-Update of HTC Touch Diamond 2.03.407.2 is now available.
Now, I have a question:
Is it now possible, to sync this device (WM 6.1) with two PCs? And is the problem with the Active Sync error 86000107 solved?
Does anybody have tested this?
Best regards,
Double-You

But I would say you should try it!

same problem with active sync here, not working with two Pc´s

i think i figured this one out, i have the same problem, one PC (at home) runs vista with mobile device central. when synchronizing at work (XP) it complains, i think vista is the one who claims the synced items

try this registry key on your device:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync]
"EnableNonLocalCrossPollination"=dword:00000001

Hi,
I have installed the new rom version 2.03.405.3.
But when I synchronized my device with my pc, not all contacts were copied to the device.I reinstalled the rom and hard reset the device but contact status was same.About %15 of my contacts were came to the device.Sync again and again other contacts didn't appear in my device.
Anyone experienced this or have suggests, pls help !
Thanks..

I had a problem syncing with two pc's (one Vista and the other XP) but sorted it out by doing this:
Delete partnerships on both pc's and Diamond and then do a fresh/new sync with the XP pc.
Delete all the PIM items on the Vista pc.
Do a fresh/new sync with the Vista pc.
Of course this assumes that all the PIM items are in the XP pc first.....

Sorry to ressurect this topic, but I'm testing some playstation joystick I have and I have tried to disable signed driver (test mode) in Windows 10 but it didn't worked. It seens PP Joy is deprecated and replaced by vJoy, however it does not support Parallel adapters, which is my case.
I'm used to install psxpad "psxp_a020606c" software in order to install those adapters, but unfortunatelly it didn't worked in Windows 10 too (unlike Win 7).
I guess that in order to resolve the problem I should back to Win 7 (or maybe a linux distro?) or buy an USB adapter.
Seens that since nowadays joysticks are bluetooth compatible or it has USB connection, these kind of support for usb/parallel adapters are gone =/
