Upgrading OK with Windows 7?

Has anyone had any difficulties with any of the software for upgrading ROMs and all the other programs while using Windows 7? I've read a few people had no problems, but am unsure if there is anything additional that should be done. I don't want to brick my phone the first time b/c I am using a different OS. Thanks!

I just did, with build 7022
It worked fine

on my pc to the 7 is fantastic...
I just Dont cook roms ;(

I really appreciate the assurance everyone. I've had a few compatibility issues w/ Windows 7 and devices (XNA stuff), but besides that, Windows 7 has been phenomenal. I didn't want change my mind about W7 due to an expensive paperweight.

Upgrade WORKS Win 7 7000 and 7022 X32
Upgrade WORKS Win 7 7000 and 7022 X32

Windows7 is very stable and it has no issues for upgrading

Upgrading and syncing with outlook ok with windows 7
Windows update installed mobile device center automatically
Windows 7 has Device Stage built in to sync with phones etc, but no HTC phones are yet supported. so have to use Windows Mobile Device Center the same as Vista

Windows 7
I have the latest Windows 7 beta 64 bit. On my Diamond I unticked "Enable advanced network functionality" in Start - Settings - Connections - USB to PC first. Then ensure your phones ActiveSync is enabled.
If activesync works (if you can sync or view files on your Touch Diamond on your PC) then any upgrade you do will work fine.
Another tip. When connecting your phone to Windows 7 go to Windows update and download and install any Windows Mobile updates, and turn off any screensavers/power options just in case.
I have changed many ROMS using Windows 7 64 bit and have not had any problems.
Just remember to follow instructions on updating your diamond with cooked roms properly, esp the part about hardspl's.
You will see the threads at the beginning of the diamond ROM forum.
Good luck

Most probably W7 is the best windows I've used since windows 98 back in 1997 onwards...It's so amazing!

That's quite an opinion.
I have used the windows 7 x32 and x64 (build 7000) on my laptop and had no issues flashing my diamond. There's a 7022 now?

I've had the problem -> now SOLVED
I had never been able to sync my phone with my PC after upgrading from Vista Ultimate to W7. WMDC always crashes when I try to connect with the PC. I soft reset the phone (upgraded rom actually), tried with the cable, tried bluetooth sync unpaired and paired again, nothing worked.
Then after some googling I did below:
uninstalled WMDC and driver update that are remnants from Vista
connected phone with a cable to the PC and from the device manager removed the phone from PC
rebooted windows
installed the latest WMDC from microsoft
and voile! it works !!!
I think my problem was not clean installing W7 but other than the sync problem, W7 looks promising.

USB Storage Enabler

Hello together
I developed an "USB Storage Enabler" Tool for Windows phone 7, so you can easy enable or disable the WP7 USB functionality.
You need to have Zune installed and one device connected for least one time.
To enter the USB Storage you'll close Zune.
Now you can use your phone like a simple USB Stick
This tool requires .NET 2.0.

Oh,... try to run this tool as an administrator. (maybe UAC or somethings is blocking some registry functions)

i run it standard, without admin.
ps. i have chevron hack + NoDo updated + all wp7 developer programs
AND it woks fine! DANKE!

I have NoDo + Locked + WP7 Tools + UAC disabled.
Mhm,... I'll try this on another machine.

danke!!! Thanks!!! that's the tool we were waiting for!!!! you're the man!

Works great with my (locked) HTC Arrive.

Works great with my unlocked HTC 7 Pro(Win XP,Win 7)

Works with Omnia 7 but I am seeing two icons for portable devices in my computer... Can you look into this?
Phone is on NoDo with C7 unlock and Samsung tools to prevent relocking.

It enables all found zune devices. If you've flashed your phone to a new version the "old one" (=zune device registration) is still stored in the registry. Ignore them :]

Works fine with Win 7 and HD7 after starting with admin rights...cool !!!

I did this change in registry when it was announced public, but unfortunately "My ringtones" folder is not visible...
Is there any way to access it from Windows Explorer?
Anyway, this is a great tool for not having to mess around in registry

Works great though!

[NEW] Opera Mini 6.5 for Windows Mobile with Java

Hello,
Today, Opera Mini 6.5 com out for Java capable Device.
You can download it here :
http://www.operamini.com/mobile/download/versions/

no cab?

It's a java apps, so the JAR/JAD will install it !

works geat with SUN JavaFX... Good job !!

i think opera was stoping dev in wm 6.x.. just stuck on opera 5 and 10

Yes, but this Opera mni 6.5 is for Java capable device, and WM devices are Java capable device, so, you can run this build !
In my HTC HD2, and with JavaFx, i have an error message after launchine opera :
"Unable to connect to Internet, check your settings"
Any idea please ?
Thanks a lot
Best regards,
Nixeus

Works on Tg01... a message about network connection needed but say yes and work like a charm...

Greetings.
I also have problems with OperaMini 6.5
With Jblend i installed it successfully but when i start app it hangs with message UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION!
On Java FX i also installed it successfully but when i start app first i get message Font Data Calculation with percent slider going from 0 to 100% and it takes more than 5 min to complete this and after that HD2 hangs and i need to soft reset it...
I have other apps that are working with no problem either with Jblend or with Javafx...
Can someone suggest anything to make this work?
Thanks...

I install JAR but JAD i near JAD...

Thanks for the screensht !It's goog that Opera continue this Java developpemts ! Yes Opera Mobile for Windows is dead, but the java apps is a good alternative in order to be compatible with the Latest standard ( HTML 5 ! )
I will make some research for the non compatibility ;-)

So is this any better than the normal Opera 10 mobile? If so, I'll check it out. Sorry i don't know what html 5 is all about.

This version mini works great but don't support plugin like Opera 10 (to see youtube video embed or other flash animation but more efficient in some new CSS3 é HTML5 standard support...

Doesn't work on my TG01 with JavaFX. Install bar just hangs so pretty waste of time. Still, may as well just use Opera 10.

Which ROM did you use ? have tried another Java application before ? like Angry Bird Rio ?
If it works on my device, must work on your device... we have same...

Hello,
I have tried on my HD2 with 3 different rom ! Always the same error with Java FX !

I'm using miROM8 miROM1 BETA SENSE. I haven't tried angry birds on this rom, only on orange stock rom which worked fine. But i don't understand why it doesnt work, maybe the ROM is the problem?

Make a backup and try another Rom...
or
Have you installed another Java software ?

Hi Nixeus,
Have you set up the connection for internet in Java?
just go to menu -> Network options and I suggest to select "the internet" to avoid problems.

But it's installed because its in the list when i start the Java VM. Weird i don't understand it. It's not important though because I prefer Opera 10 Thanks for your suggestions.

hi dear
why not support persion languge on the opera mini ver 10 . im used in the windows embedded hanheld 6.5
tnx

Problems connecting to PC on latest JB leak from Baadnewz

I am having issue connecting to PC (on XP here but also issues on Vista 64 at home). No matter what I try I can't access storage to copy to/from my PC to my phone. I understand that JB now uses MTP rather than USB Storage, but having spent about three hours now trying to find a solution I have to admit I am completely stumped
Having tried many options without success, and having installed and uninstalled HTC Sync at least six times I have started again from scratch reinstalling everything I could think of which might have a bearing. I have just reinstalled the full SDK, installed Windows Media Player 11 (for MTP), reinstalled .NET 4, installed latest version of HTC Sync, but still when I connect I get an error in device manager with Other Devices>Android Phone (also get the Hardware Wizard popup which always ends up saying not installed/could not locate software even if pointed directly at the Google USB driver folder in the SDK so it's obviously not this), and in HTC Sync it always shows no device connected. Fastboot and ADB both see it (devices). If I disable USB Debugging then it is recognised as an MTP device but then the Android Phone error kicks in and Sync doesn't see it.
This is my issue:

On the Android device in device manager right click then uninstall, tick delete drivers if the tick box is there (sometimes it isnt)
Keep doing that until it doesn't even say android device (it will keep reinstalling it) it should say unknown device or something similar. Then reinstall the htc driver software and try again
Windows buggers up like this sometimes, has several drivers for the same thing, AFAIK its a case of getting rid of all the "spares" and installing just the one driver
Hope this helps

Just download the HTC Sync Manager : http://www.htc.com/us/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx
Install then uninstall the HTC Sync Manager (if you don't use it) and leave the driver. You'll get the newer version HTC driver 4.13.0.003

I suggest you uninstall all the HTC drivers that you already installed, remove all HTC trace then reinstall the HTC Sync manager as I mentioned earlier.
Maybe someone else have better idea

Tried this; still get same error

So I installed Win 10 TP on my other computer, plugged in the phone after using those drivers and it worked perfectly fine.
So that being said, what could be causing the issue on this build because i did a new install of win 10 on it today.

Finally figured it out! All day over here....

I had originally installed Windows 10 TP via a USB drive on a USB 3.0 port. At first that seemed to be what caused my issue along with various other random issues. Installing Build 9860 via a USB 2.0 port has since fixed my driver signing issues with HTC. However, the phone/computer connection is still finicky and sometimes requires a few reboots or re-installing the drivers to get it working. I chalk that up to the technical preview being alpha.

Mine works on Windows 10 Technical Preview. I had to plug the device in two separate times. One time when it was fully booted to install drivers and then I had to plug it in in fastboot mode to install drivers needed for ADB to work properly or it would not recognize the device.

can you take snapshot for that coz I didn't get it yet ... it's been a wile trying to do it .... PLZ need help ??

Has anyone been successful with getting it to run on Windows 10?
