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!

Hi gitt,
I don't think it is a problem with the ROM but related to the AKU version.
If you copied your pim.vol from your previous WM5 Rom to this one and the AKU version was different (coming from 2.xx to 3.xx), then I'm pretty sure this is the problem.
So you have two options to solve your problem, but both are not straight forward, sorry:
1) Try first to do a backup using PPCBckpContacts in this ROM, if it doesn't work then you have to revert back to your previous ROM and do a backup of your pim.vol using PPCBckpContacts ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1033173 )
2) use the emulator to achieve the same ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...A5-183A-4A1E-A7E2-CC500ED1F19A&displaylang=en )
a) launch the emulator, select a directory on your pc that will play the storage card, then replace the pim.vol by yours, do a soft rest via the emulator menu and use PPcBckpContacts to do a backup
3) use PPCBckpContacts to do the restore in your new ROM.
Cheers,
.Fred

Cheers,

Version name is BA WM5 English Rom 5.1.1700_bulid_14343_ upgrade.
I have a question. Can i format all storage and after upgrade the windows? because now when i try reinstall windows the previous version setting and programs stay there and maybe the old contacts stay there too and this is the reason why now concacts dont working.
But i dont know how i can format or delete all data in my storage. I have qtek 9060 and the soft reset is the same as hard reset (some programs not working after reset but nothing esle)

When you upgrade to a new OS version, you always have to format, otherwise you will have inconsistencies in the registry and on the disk.

OK and what i can do with this problem?

When I push Contacts button, display only blink and close. So the contacts list is unserviceable.

I tried using Total Commander to backup and restore. It worked fine in one machine, but when I try to restore the backup from my old PPC Phone to my new PPC Phone, it doesnt work and it happened just like that too...I tap Contact and it flashed and disappeared.

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.

Anyone one found a way of resolving this?

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

...works fine here!
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.....
