One problem with windows VISTA and 7 is that it uses the new "Windows Mobile Device Centre" and not activesync which we are used to, thus our standard RUU programs will not upgrade our Hermes devices as in windows XP. This guide will show you how to configure VISTA to work just the same as XP with our RUU programs.
For this guide firstly you need to download the new drivers:
Drivers for Windows Vista/7 x32 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33662&d=1169888879
Drivers for Windows Vista/7 x64 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33892&d=1170385335
Please note the x64 drivers are unsigned so to use them successfully you must disable driver signing.
Extract the contents to a folder on your desktop, call this folder "AS_DRIVERS". It contains the drivers from activesync which we will use instead of the native VISTA WMDC drivers when the device is in bootloader.
Now you must enter the bootloader on your device, to do this press and hold both the side ok button and the power button then put your stylus into the hole on the bottom of the device, your device will reset and show the red blue green bootloader screen. LEAVE THE DEVICE IN BOOTLOADER MODE and connect it using the USB cable to your VISTA/7 PC.
Now navigate into the WMDC (Start>All Programs>Windows Mobile Device Center) and click on the "connection settings" menu icon
In the connection settings menu untick "allow USB connections" then press OK.
Now exit the WMDC and return to the desktop, go into the start menu and type "Services", this will take you into the local services dialogue and show a list of all services either running or registered with your pc.
Scroll down the list and make sure these services are present:
Windows Mobile-based connectivity
Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity
If these services are not started then double click each one and set them to Automatic start by clicking the "startup-type" drop-down menu and selecting automatic then click the start button in the same window, apply the setting by pressing OK. Now return back to the desktop again.
Go into the start menu and type "Device Manager" then run, this will take you into the device manager. Click the "+" symbol next to "Mobile Devices" and double click on "HTC USB Sync".
This will bring up the properties of the currently connected device (the hermes in bootloader).
Go to the "Driver" tab and click "Update Driver".
Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".
Select "Let me pick from a list...."
Click the "Have Disk" button.
Click "Browse" and navigate to the AS_DRIVERS folder we created earlier.
Vista x32 users select the file "wceusbsh.inf"
Vista x64 users select the file "wceusbshx64.inf"
Then click Open.
click next and the driver will be installed (wait a moment).
Press close and escape back to the desktop now.
Now we must stop the WMDC process, start the task manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Escape.
click the WMDC line and click "End Process". In the confirmation window, again press End Process.
Now re-enter the WMDC and re-enable USB connections (click connection settings and tick the box "enable USB connections").
Your RUU programs for HardSPL/Radios/WM6 ROMs should now run as desired once you are synced with WMDC. Since we have updated the driver which vista uses when the device is in bootloader mode.
Can this be made a Sticky please..??
Followed your Steps on Win7 x64 but WMDC doesnt connect do my device although I re-enabled USB connections. Digital Driver signing is disbaled.
No it did work, I just didnt get it
Write this into the wiki plx, really helpful.
All done till the driver installation.
But start from task manager and so on, it's failed to connect.
Am i doing wrong?
Just try to flash, at my side WMDC shows no connections either but flashing is possible.

After i installed the drivers then i started WMCD and re-enable USB connections and then took out my cable out of the phone then put it back in and it connected..
Method with no install
What I have been doing with Win7 without installing any drivers is
- Put phone in bootloader mode (press power and left OK button while pressing the reset button on bottom)
- Start the RUUWrapper
This of course assumes that you have hardSPLed the phone and select the right options, no autodetect
This is what I have been doing for a while now, I dont recall updating any drivers or activesync/mobile center

Has anyone had a problem with WMDC not syncing?
It starts to sync, but never completes - just stays on the 'Syncing' status.
It was fine before I upgraded ROM's - but I had to install the driver linked from the Vista upgrade section at MrVanx's.
Anyone had a similar problem?
Have you tried disabling 'Advanced Network Functionality' in
Start\Settings\Connections\USB to PC
?
Yeah, doesn't affect it. HTC USB Sync is no longer there in device manager though?
Just managed to sync it fine on my works PC (XP), so it must my WMDC or the USB Driver. I've already reinstalled WMDC though
i had the same problem..but i just reconnect and it works
Same problem
I have the same problem. In fact, after going to 4.0 Vista 64-bit now says it doesn't recognize the USB device.
I did disable the advanced network functionality as well.
Any solutions?
fixed!
Ahh... what I needed to do with vista 64 was to disable the driver signing enforcement.
this link shows you how for vista 64
http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1429/vista_disable_digital_driver_signing_enforcement
or I have posted the instructions here.
Turn off Digital Driver Signing Check in Vista:
1. Create a shortcut on the desktop to cmd.exe
(this recipe explains how to create a shortcut if you don't know how)
2. Right-click on the shortcut and select Run as administrator
3. When the command window opens, type or paste the following and press ENTER:
Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON
4. Reboot and then try installing the driver.
Cheers for the reply, but i've the latest drivers from MS now - which are signed.
Oddly enough it works fine on another Vista PC, just this one seems buggered. I managed to get it working eventually by disabling enhanced network functionality and leaving windows to install a newer driver.
But on my other Vista machine I can sync it with this enabled. Odd
Copy the icon file (extract it from the sync.zip file) to the windows directory of your pda.
Step 2: Windows Mobile Device Center - Reinstall DriverNow that the ICON file is on the device, we need to reinstall the device driver so that WMDC will see it.
1. Make sure the device is synced and connected to your PC. You need an active connection so that Windows Vista sees your handheld device.
2. Go to the Control Panel.
3. Switch the Control Panel to the "Classic View" in the upper left hand corner of the Control Panel windows.
4. Open Device Manager.
5. Click the small "+" in front of "Portable Devices"
6. Right click on "Pocket PC" or "Windows Mobile Device" or "Smartphone" or similar.
7. Click Uninstall
8. Choose OK when prompted about Uninstalling the device.
9. The Device Manager will flash a time or two, and the device will no longer show up on the Portable Devices list.
10. Remove your Device from the computer.
11. Wait a good 30 seconds to 1 minute and then dock (connect) your device to the computer again.
12. Your computer will now be installing the device once again.
13. Open Windows Mobile Device Center, and you should now see your ICON on the left hand side (see picture below), and you have not lost any details of your partnership.
Sometimes the wmdc shows your old picture if that is the case copy the icon file to this directory:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Profiles\[some strange code like 8ae71abe]
i have had a rooted G1 for about a year and a half. i just recieved my Evo this morning.
the issue is I open sync on my pc, connect the phone and select htc sync from drop down. htc sync on the phone says that my vista pc does not have sync.
i have tried installing sync from the stock sd card and downloaded from htc.com
nothing seems to work. i saw similar questions asked several times but not clearly answered. if anyone can offer some suggestions i would be grateful.
Try uninstalling HTC Sync from your PC. And then reinstall the one from the website (it's the latest version compared to the one in the SD card). After installation run HTC Sync and connect the USB cable to your PC (don't connect the other end of the USB cable to the Evo yet). Then connect your Evo to the USB cable. If it doesn't work, try restarting your PC and then connecting it again. If it still doesn't work, try a different USB cable. I don't know if it will work but those are the procedures I'll be doing if I'm in your shoes. Sometimes USB cables and it's accompanying software are not that Plug N Play as we want them to be.

Attempting that now. thank you.
I did as you suggested, even used my wife's data cable for her pre. and still nothing.
just to clarify...all i (should) have to do is open sync on the computer and then choose sync from the notification dropdown after connecting to usb, right?
maybe someone else has had and fixed this problem? i am unable to root without htc sync working.
2) Make sure your phone is set to USB debugging
3) Add the downloaded Vista drivers folder to the aforementioned location.
4) Go into the Device Manager (Start > Control Panel > Device Manager) and look for 'ADB Interface' or similar and expand that.
5) Right-click on the item under that and go to properties.
6) Click Update Driver and then "Browse my computer for driver software".
7) IMPORTANT STEP: Click the link, "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
8) Click "Have Disk" and Browse to the location where you put the HTC Driver folder and open the Vista 64x folder.
9) There are two INF files in there. Choose 'htcrndis.inf' and click Open.
10) Click Okay and the device shown will be "My HTC". Select that and click Next to install.
sorry to be annoying. it is killing me to not root this device. any help?

I found a fix for all phones Bluetooth drivers
1 - Download the 'Windows Mobile Device Center' (current version is 6.1) which you can download it here for 32-bit OS or here for 64-bit OS. This works for both Vista and Windows 7. I've tried it on both.
2 - Install the downloaded software but it may not look like it worked on Windows 7 PCs. Vista automatically configured the settings on the Bluetooth devices but for those who have Windows 7, here are the things you should do:
3 - Go to 'Device Manager' from 'Control Panel' -Or- just right-click on Computer Icon and choose 'Properties' and then click on 'Device Manager'.
4 - You'll see an 'Unknown Device' named 'Bluetooth Peripheral Device'
5 - Right-Click it and click on "Update Driver Software" -Or- anyway you find it easy to bring up the Update driver window.
Click "Browse My Computer Image for Driver Software" button.
Click "Let Me Pick from a List of Device Drivers on my computer".
Select 'Bluetooth Radio' from the list if it asked you to select and then in the next window, it will show a list of drivers with Company Names in one list and Drivers in another. In the Company List choose 'Microsoft Corporation', not only Microsoft.
From the drivers list there may be one or more drivers with the name "Windows Mobile-Based Device Support" with different driver versions. Select one or the latest.
Ignore any warnings and keep pressing next and then Finish at last. If all goes well, the last screen will show the message that device driver is successfully installed.
After doing this and pairing my PC and phone again, I was able to send files between them through Bluetooth.
I hope this helps.
