Vista and load new ROMs

Hi,
I have VISTA RC1, everytime I try to load any rom I get connection error...any ideas how can I fix that?

Yeah .. switch back to XP. I've tried for days to upgrade from Vista and didn't succeded ... at a time I thought that my UNiversal has gone .... but when I tried again on an XP based system it worked flawlessly.

Same observations:
I have tried with vista ultimate final (msdn) with windows mobile device center beta-3 (because vista have'nt any activesync-like program) -vista can't recognise Universal in bootloader mode.
I found a resolution: format c: and reinstall any xp. (Or buy a second PC with xp)

Vista can't recognise the Uni, oh the irony.
M$ used the Uni as the showpiece for their all singing all dancing WM5 platform didn't they?

perhaps you can use the search function next time, there are a few more topics about this problem

Windows Vista and Activesync

How can we flash new ROM's onto the Universal in Windows Vista? I tried flashing PDAViet 2.00.04 to my Universal and recieved a 101 connection error. I went to the activesync website and it wouldnt install because it said that windows vista already has some tool that has outdated activesync.... well why isnt it working then?

on vista there's no more activesync but Mobile device Center
http://www.laboratoire-microsoft.org/whitepapers/17844/

Nope tried that. Wasnt working although just now I have just flashed PDAViet ROM on my Universal. Windows detects it fine and even sync's with it.
I have just tried Helmi's AKU 3.5 again and it flashed fine.

Once you've got WMDC up and runnign the sync works fine (even office 2007! Woohoo) but icant flash anything and have to use my old XP machien to do it on!
Maybe it depends on the version of the no-id flasher you use?

I tried to flash the device while in bootloader mode and wouldnt work. Does anyone know why sometimes your device remains in bootloader mode even after a soft reset? Its like there wasn't any ROM on the device? Even after a hard reset the device wont go out of the bootloader mode.

I couldnt flash My Universal, using WMDC in vista RTM. It simply doesnt work, i heard, and i think it does make sence, that the Actual Rom Update utilities are simply uncompatible with Vista. I think we will have to wait until Vista is Oficialy releast, wich is not that far away. But then, i think we will also have to wait till one of our Providers will release a new ROM, with a new Update Utility.

That happened to me as well on a numerous ocasions, its really annoying. I didnt really mind though, coz i was about to flash it anyway, and then it always got back to normal.

I dont know what to say... just be careful with what you are doing.

I´m using the Vista Business Version (Final).
My Universal would not sync so i downloaded and installed this:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6a-a72d-4aef-9663-31ce2fefbada&DisplayLang=en
Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Beta 3 for Windows Vista (x86)
It´s working now.

I have that installed too. It was installed during a Auto-update. Still wont update the device while in bootloader mode.

There is no driver in vista that presents the device as \\.\WCEUSBSH001 device. So the upgrade utilities cannot communicate with it.
I've tried to use the drivers from XP64, but they don't work (i'm using 64-bit vista enterprise).

not yet
I tried using Vista Ultimate x64, but no way using Windows Mobile Device Center beta 4. Xp still better for flashing devices, maybe in a few weeks we are going to test new dev tools.

heyy ppl i can't upgrade/flash my universal rom's in vista as well :-( i just upgraded my laptop to vista ultimate and well, i had downgraded my phone from AKU 3.5 to an orange branded latest rom from Orange website, now i wanna flash it to Crossbow but vista won't let me..maybe the developers here can cook something up for flashing in vista ? Anybody ?

connect pc to internet with HD

hello!
i need a software or what ever to connect my laptop to internet with the HD.
what do i need?!?
i can connect the HD to internet. but how to share this connection with my laptop?
thanx......
ralf

When you insert the USB lead you should be presented with three options.
1) - Activesync
2) - USB Drive
3) - Internet Sharing.
Choose three and then connect on the HD and it'll just work.

oh my god, so simple.
i didnt realize the 3rd option. i always choose (blind) the USB-option.
ok, i will try. thanx!!

No problems, what ROM are you running?
Is it Stock or a Custom One?

im using the laurentius V2.2 rom.
at the time i cant try.
cu later..

hmm, i tried now, but i receive an error "intshr.exe not fund" on te HD.
do i need to install a prog/cab on my HD first?!?

Hi Guys
I'm assuming this will only work for windows based computers....
Any ideas on how I can get this working with my Linux based netbook?
Plugged my blackstone in, selected option 3 and nothing!

I don't know, for Dutty's 3.0 you had to install a cab to get it working, you'll have to go looking through your Rom's thread or ask the question there.

Um.. No idea I'm afraid.

Prefer to work over bluetooth myself. Been using it all weekend, standard ROM.

How does that work then, please?

You'll need Bluetooth PAN protocol on your laptop/desktop. Simply pair the two together, then right click your system tray icon for bluetooth and activate PAN connection.

Have you downloaded the latest version off the website?
I just managed to get mine working, try starting HTC sync then telling the phone to connect to it

Well first connect Desire as Disc drive and download HTC Sync from SD cards.
Second: install it
third: reboot PC and here it goes

Why wouldn't you be able to flash your device? Updates come over the air most of the time So no problem here.

I believe he's talking about the custom roms which will appear once Root access has been done...

USB Tethering

Currently using RCMixHD and tethering doesn't work for me. It used to work. This is on Windows 7 32bit. It works fine on Ubuntu but my main rig is windows.
Do I need some drivers or what im lost?

you will prob need some kind of usb modem driver installed, have you tried installing htc sync, maybe the default modem drivers will work

I used to use usb tether though and it worked. I guess I could try installing newest htc sync.
Eph.

yep, thats what used to happen to me! had a format recently (win7 32 bit ultimate) and couldnt tether at all! just Install and should work fine
