Updating through VMWare Virtual Machine

Hello,
I know there is a procedure for updating the phone on Windows Vista, but I'm asking myself if someone tried to do an update from a Windows XP virtual machine (as those machines can access to the USB)?
In a nutshell :
Windows Vista real computer
--> Running VMWare Workstation 6
----> Running Windows XP Pro
------> Updating the ROM of the phone
Thanks !

Well, I do this with XP running virtually in Mac OSX through a similar program called Paralells - works like a champ. NOt exactly what you are asking, but close.
I use VMWare 6 in my Vista PC for flash using XP OS before WDCM was launched... and works great...
Now i continue using to flash my Wizard in XP Box trough Virtual Machine cause upgrade tool for Wizard is not compatible with Vista...
So you can use to flash what you want, sure.
Regards.
Thanks for your experiments This will be a super trick for updating my hermes without having to worry about windows vista drivers things!
Thanks!
works like a charm ive been using it since january and i always updaye my roms in it and parallels
dont understand post,

Did you guys configure something special in VMware? My VM'ed XP doesn't find the phone (Wizard) over USB, I just get an error in the RUU...
I'm running XP Pro 32bit in VMware 6 on Vista 64bit. Didn't change anything in the VMware configuration... Any ideas?
Not to horribly change the subject, but why not make sure your phone is supercid and flash from an sd card?
I have used this method many times from my Mac desktop, instead of getting out my XP Laptop.
at the very least:

ROM flash through VMWare with a hackintosh/osx86/hackint0sh
Just a little note for anyone searching
You can also flash from a VMWare XP virtual machine in OSX on a hackintosh

How to jailbreak HTC HD 7 running Windows XP

Hello so i struglle here now 2 days in a row trying to jailbreak my hd 7 , can anyone tell me how to do it if i am running Windows XP (3 service pack)
Do That To WIN7.
Do not have any acess to WIN7 ... so is there any way to unlock the phone using WINDOWS XP ?
Had the same issue; running XP and didn't want to upgrade. The only available solution for me was two fold; acquire vmware and vista/win 7 (trial versions will do fine). Install vmware, only 300mb, then load vista or win 7 from inside the prog, (I'd recommend win 7, as you'd need to load sp1 & 2 on vista before you can install developer tools!). And there you go! All whilst keeping use of xp!

no need for vmware, use virtual box it's freeware

Yeah, I've currently got two instances of win 7, one XP and one server 2003 under Virtual Box on my laptop. Also have a few machines running under KVM on my home server. One of those ought to do the trick. Was just wondering if I could be a purist in this endeavor.

[HELP] WP7 Emulator on XP in VirtualBox

Hi all,
I've got a problem and I hope someone will be able to help me :fingers-crossed:
I'm now working on a Core Due Duo PC at 2.1GHz on Kubuntu.
When I need Windows, I usually virtualize it in my VirtualBox. Since now, I had no problems with it.
Because I HATE Windows 7 for previous problems, I tried to install Windows Phone SDK on my Windows XP virtualized, following this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Windows_Phone_7_Emulator
Now, emultators starts but it is too slow!
After it starts, after about 20mins disappears the writing as in "booting_1.jpg" file here attached and after some minutes appear Windows Phone Logo as in "wp.png" file attached.
After that, emulator don't go on any more.
I tried the same emulator in a Windows XP machine no virtualized and after some minute emulators was ready.
According to you, is there something I can do for developing for WP7 in my virtual XP? Some particular settings?
I hope in some help, thank you very much

Device Failed Enumeration?

I recently wiped my Windows 7 HDD, and installed Windows 8.1. Wanting to flash another kernel, I installed the SDK, JDK, and Flashtool drivers. Booting my XPlay into fastboot, Windows said that the USB device was not installed properly, and I looked into the Device Manager, and it said "Device Failed Enumeration".
Is there any fix for this?
Well I'd say to just put win7 into a virtual machine because alot of the drivers fail because of win8 incompatibility so try that

I was trying to avoid installing/using a virtual machine with Windows 7 or Linux. But I know those options will work, however, I'm trying to use it within my current setup. I have already disabled the Driver Verification thing.
