WMDC 6.1 is now available!

Enjoy!
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx

is it any different to 6.0.6783?

Still installing it, but it's supposed to be the first version to officially support WM6...

Is it just me or does it take ages for files to transfer using wmdc? if i use a £3 ebay purchased card reader its about 10x faster to pop the card in the reader and then put it back in the hermes when file transfer complete. I would have thought it wouldn't make that much difference but then again i don't much about that sort of thing

Wow for once it synced everything to Outlook 2007 thats something it never did before! Nice upgrade i must say

What version of WMDC is showing after your re-install?

Where would i find that? I know it said 6.1 when it installed

Open WMDC...
Click on the ? icon, and then check the "About WMDC..."
Thanks!

6.1.6965 ................

hmmm. 32-bit or 64-bit?

Is it me, or do ROM upgrades crash when using 6.1? I've managed to get ROM flashing working with Vista and WMDC (thanks mrvanx!), but with this update, the update application crashes after the phone goes into bootloader.

32 bit Vista ultimate

bizarre. I've downloaded/reinstalled the 32-bit English version three times, and my version still shows 6.0.6783
grrr

Mine installed fine with Vista Ultimate also.
SK

Under Connections dialog: new choice, check or uncheck:
Allow data connections on device while connected to PC
Can get device certificates.
Exact same overall slowness to sync.
Opportunity to get stuff you don't need during driver install on first sync after upgrading to 6.1.

Thanks for the update.
Q: After installing WMDC 6.1, can we still flash ROM images under Vista? Or do we need to replace the ActiveSync drivers with the 4.5 ones again?

Ok, so I eventually got this running (both 32-bit and 64-bit Version 6.1.6965), but it was not a trivial install:
- had to disable firewall and antivirus
- had to uninstall all old versions and patches
- had to remove the device drivers for HTC USB Sync
Only then was I able to get it going (on both machines). Interestingly, I did not have to delete the partnership, but we'll see how today goes...

Well, my first test results is you now can use RUUWrapper in Vista using the new 6.1 drivers from WMDC. Theres no need to change to old driver nor disable and kill the wmdc process... good news... i've just flash splash screen now for testing purpose.
I've tried the mtty too, but the port for connecting to PDA while in tricolour isn't in the list. Can someone put the name for the port, to test...i can't remember...
Thanks.

How to use SDK to root the phone?

Hi all,
I have just switched from the HD2 to the MT3G Slide and want to root the phone.
I knew how to do all the stuff on the HD2 from reading but cannot find any information here. The sticky placed on the top isn't much help because I know you need to use the Android SDK tool but I do not know how to set that up. & when I try to use the command line I cannot type in it. Please can someone give me some help on how to do this so I can get started on rooting my phone.
Thanks for reading!

you claim you read the sticky but yet if you had you would have seen the link on the first page i believe that tells you to get sdk from [link] and then on that page there is a link that says setting up SDK on your [OS] computer. then just follow the steps in there(which is really more like download file and double click setup) after that you can open up a terminal/console/cmd and type in cd \path to sdk\tools
if you are on mac or linux(unlikely since you can't read or search) you would type in
cd /path/to/sdk/tools notice how the slash between directories(folders) is the other way around
then follow the directions in the root thread(incredibly difficult i know but you should still try to do this part on your own)

Okay I have downloaded all of the Android SDK already. I have read it but my issue is when I try to type in the command it will not let me type. I also read that Anroid SDK is for xp & vista only and that windows 7 was not listed, so it this my issue? The command line you speak of is the one with the SDK tools and not the acutal windows CMD line?
I have followed everything to the line but still cannot seem to get this to work.
and to be clear I did read and there is nothing on there that states you need to have SDK to root the MT3GS. It says to download the slide_root

what operating system are you doing this on? that would be more helpful so i could tell you how to set this up correctly

windows 7. I have android SDK and I have downloaded the 2.1 Android pack.

if you are using windows 7 x64(very likely) then you cannot use that computer and you should try using ubuntu(same as using mac for 99% of the steps and there is a thread in q and a talking about this right now) or setting up a virtual machine and installing xp and using that to hack your phone. virtual machines are easy to setup and use if you can use virtualbox

download virtual box right now. will that come with xp installed on it or would I need to download that onto it?
thanks for all of your help.

you will need to get an xp install cd or iso to install xp on it. if you have any friends with xp install disks or you can find one online and use it as a trial(no key=no activation=30 day trial) then you can use it for a day and root with that.
disclaimer: i suggest totally legal versions of windows xp, any install disk you download or get illegally is your fault when the FBI/Bill Gates comes to the door

Instead of suggesting that he commits a felony why don't you tell him to use Ubuntu in the virtual machine? It'll take a little longer but it's less likely he'll be fined.

i didn't say commit a felony, and if you are going to use ubuntu then you don't need a virtual box(dumbass) you can use a live cd. i have been told by microsoft on MANY occasions that if you have a friend with XP install disks then you may use those, as well as the fact that installing it for one day in a virtual box is not illegal if you are not using a cracked key/re-used key, you can choose not to use a key and it is a temporary install for yourself to use either until you get a key, or the 30 days is up. much like you can buy vista/7 and install a different version if you like, but you will have to uninstall it and reinstall using the version i bought a key for once the trial has expired. read up and do your homework before you jump down someone's throat, it makes you look like an ass when i have to come back in here and teach you what a computer is

I set up and rooted two phones with windows 7.. I installed the sdk and pdanet drivers and thats it..

using 64-bit? last i knew there was no 64-bit adb driver so i didn't even try with my win7 x64 machine, i used my vista x32 box to root my phone.

Is there anyway that you could give me a little help on getting this to work. When ever I try to type in the command line when i pull up the SDK it doesn't do anything. and when I try to pull up abd it just pops up a CMD for a quick two seconds.

look at link I posted

thanks. didn't see it. saw the last post was posted by eugene and scrolled down as fast as i could lol.
So the Command line is the CMD program through windows? I don't understand why someone wouldn't set me straight on that since I was saying the command line in SDK wasn't letting me type anything

Installing Drivers
Plug in your phone through USB and DO NOT MOUNT IT!!!!!
Your computer should see a new device and try to install Android 1.0 driver (If it doesnt, scroll down to the "Im not getting a notification of Android ADB when i plug in my USB" section)
Let it load
Once it cant find them select "Install drivers from my pc"
The drivers you need are in the Android SDK 1.5r2 folder (C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver)
Depending on your OS pick x86 or amd64
You ADB Android Device should now be installed! Good Job
When I do this part it doesn't find the ABD driver but it does not have anywhere to install drivers from my pc at all on my windows 7
edit: found where to go to add the usb drivers but when I select the folder all I get is "windows cannot find driver software on your pc"
edit 2: Found out what driver I needed, thanks for the guide source going to try to root this thing finally

[FIX] Adb fails to install

This was actually found by verszipo in this thread
I'm just sharing. Also, if I get this problem again I can refer to it
This is a fix for when you can't install adb.
verszipo said:
After a lot of digging around I've found out that the problem was that somehow the "WDF01005" (which is actually "Microsoft Kernel-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.5", on some sites it was listed as "KMDF Coinstaller 1.5") was not installed. Of course, searching the net for it didn't get me any closer to a solution.

verszipo said:
Here's the reg file :
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005]
"SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
(just save it into "fix_wdf01005.reg" and double click it to install it with Regedit, or you can add the key manually and add a DWORD value with the name "SystemComponent" and value of 1.)
So, if you ever get the error that Windows XP cannot install the "Android Platform Sooner Single ADB Interface" driver then you might want to see if you have the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005" key as it is used by the driver installation and if it's missing then it fails and the driver is not installed.

P.S. i just tested, it worked for my Samsung phone too, it also failed to install the Android ADB driver and thus the ADB command said "error : device not found", now it worked correctly, it even found the drivers it needed through Windows Update so i didn't have to install anything manually.

Hi, I have checked this method, but unfortunately when i plug my LG L9 to computer (win xp), it pop up the same window with AndroidNet Sooner single ADB Interface it not able to install the driver. Somebody has found another solution of this issue ?

[Guide] Dualboot (Acer Iconia W700) Windows 8 - Android

I am not responsible for any damage happening to your device by doing this!
I believe Windows 8 is great for productivity, but that's not Always what we are looking for. We want to experiment with our devices and get as much out of them as possible. Android gives us the freedom to do with this tablet what we never thought possible, the overall performance is incredible and graphics are buttery smooth. However, I couldn't find a suitable guide, so I created one myself. So let's get started!
Bug list:
Everything should be working fine, contact me if not
Requirements:
USB Stick with at least 512 MB storage
USB Keyboard
USB-hub, because the tablet only has 1 USB port
Latest image available for Generic UEFI Installer from here
Image Writer Tool from here
Setting up a bootable USB
1. Download Image Writer Tool, unpack it and run the ''Win32DiskImager.exe" file
2. Once opened, navigate to your *.img file you downloaded earlier in the requirements and hit "Write" (This will format the USB drive)
3. Let it run and once it's done your USB is good to go.​Setting up tablet to boot from USB
1. Enter BIOS settings by pressing the power (and hold it) and the Windows button
2. Once there, make sure UEFI boot modus is set​
Booting from USB
1. Make sure your tablet is turned off
2. Plugin your USB-hub with USB Stick and Keyboard insered
3. Power on your devices while pressing the ''F12'' button
4. Now choose your USB device from the boot options
5. You'll get a few options, choose the option that fits your expectations
Note: I'd dualboot and install gummibootloader
6. Choose your prefered option and wait, the installation will run automatically
7. Once done, unplug everything and power off the device
8. When you turn your tablet back on, you'll see (if you've chosen option a. or b.) a menu with the option to boot Windows or Android
9. Navigate with volume DOWN key and select with volume UP key​
This Method could also be used for the Samsung XE700T

8. Congratulations, you've installed the Google Play Store
9. If you want to install other Gapps, download the .apk and repeat step 4. and 5.
Note: If you don't see the app installed after reboot, try changing the .apk's permission to RW-R--R-- and reboot again
Q:
I can't enter BIOS by holding ''Windows''-button and ''Power''-button
A:
1. Press ''Windows''-button and ''Power''-button at the same time
2. Let go when the ''Acer''-bootlogo appears
3. Congratulations, you've entered the BIOS
Q:
I can't boot from USB, because the secure boot prohibits it
A:
1. Enter BIOS by pressing ''Windows''-button and ''Power''-button at the same time
2. Set up a supervisor password
3. Congratulations, now you can disable secure boot
Q:
The ''Gummibootloader doesn't appear when booting, but Windows boots normally
A:
1. Enter BIOS by pressing ''Windows''-button and ''Power''-button at the same time
2. Change bootorder so Android comes in first place and Windows second
3. Congratulations, you've now got Gummibootloader at boot

2. Navigate to Home page > Support > Drivers and Manuals > Select [your..tablet] > BIOS
3. Download the latest BIOS
4. Update the devices BIOS
5. Congratulations, you'll be able to install Android-ia2 and later
Q:
What other devices will also be combatible with this method?
A:
Samsung XE700T
Q:
How to get bluetooth mouse and keyboard working on Android and Windows at the same time?
A:
1. Pair your bluetooth devices first with android and the with Windows
2. On Windows download PsExec
3.Then from downloaded file copy PsExec.exe in Windows to directory C:\Windows\System32 or to directory where your System32 folder is.
4. Write in the search cmd and run it as administrator
5. Then use command: psexec -s -i regedit.exe
6. Now go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys
7. From \Keys you can find your paired bluetooth devices. First there is the devices bluetooh mac address and 32 numbers long linkkey. Now write those linkeys and mac addresses up or copy them.
8. Now everything is set on Windows side. Next boot to android.
9. On android you need again for example ES file Explorer and R/W rights
10. With file Explorer fro root go to /data/misc/bluedroid/
11. Open file called BT_config.xml
12. From text find your devices using mac address
13. When you find you devices mac addres scroll down and you should see line with linkkey and 32 number code.
14. Now take that 32 number code you got from Windows
15 You have to change it little so the linkey works and here how it's done:
for example your Windows linkkey is "12345678qwertyuiasdfghjkpoiuytre" now set it as 8 number clusters like this
"12345678 qwertyui asdfghjk poiuytre"
Now you have to reverse those 8 number clusters
Take the set on far right "poiuytre" and mark it like this "po iu yt re"
Now reverse those pairs like this "re yt iu po"
Now "reytiupo" this is the first line in the new linkkey
Do the same for other three cluster. After it's done this example linkkey looks like this "reytiupojkghdfasuityerqw78563412"
16. When you have your modified Windows linkkey ready you can just replace the old one from the file BT_config.xml
17. Now just reboot android and your keyboard and mouse should work.
Q: How to change DPI from 213 to 160 (or something else)
A:
1. Get file manager on android like ES file Explorer
2. R/W rights to whole system on android
3. From root go to /system/etc/machine-props/
4. Open acer-w700.prop with ES Explorer and edit line "ro.sf.lcd_density = 213" and change 213 to 160
5. Reboot android and system should now be 160 DPI​

Pretty sure even if you didn't run into any architecture problems (and you will) trying this on RT, you'll probably be blocked by Secure Boot preventing the use of a non-Microsoft bootloader. We haven't managed to crack that yet. You can try it anyhow, and report back what you find, but don't expect it to work.

surface RT is ARM. Android IA is android Intel architecture, ie, x86 with Intel extensions, ie Intel core i3 and above only. There is no such thing as an operating system which is not architecture locked, I would have looked into that before writing the tutorial if I were you....

Live-installation works, though.
Did Bluetooth work in your sistem? In my w700 it just goes ON but doesnt recognize any device.
Suggestions?

Hit up the car computer forums, they often manage to hunt down absolute gems of GPS navigation software.
Alternatively, there are quite a few good linux navigation software suites out there apparently. Ubuntu is reasonably easy for a newcomer to use and also works alright with touch, I prefer linux mint normally but it doesnt play so nicely with touch (but it may be possible to install the ubuntu UI atop mint as mint is already a fork from ubuntu).
3rd choice. An FTDI cable may work under Android-IA in which case you can use one of the many serial GPS units out there. Most bluetooth GPS recievers are just serial based units with a bluetooth radio attached in the SPP mode.
I think the bluetooth should work fine with the linux option.

I've always been a big fan of ubuntu. I used to have Lubuntu like only OS on my old 1000H eeepc.
But I lost a day and a full night trying to install Ubuntu 13.04 on this w700 keeping Win8 (so, dual boot) and I got really MAD since there's no way it could recognize the hard-drive partitions. I have to abort the linux thing at the moment, hoping that 13.10 or whatever could solve the problem I have with Acer W700.
I think I'll try Autoroute or some freeware option....

There is a guide on these forums for installing ubuntu on the surface pro which under the hood is essentially the same device as the W700. Might be worth taking a look at to see if it offers any help.

Question Can't find the Virtual CD with the USB Drivers

Hiya folks.
I am feeling like kind of an idiot here but I can't find this magical virtual CD that allegedley contains the USB Drivers I need to allow ADB to play nicely with my phone.
The phone is connected, I can see and browse the internal storage on the "OnePlus 9 Pro 5G" folder - But there's no virtual CD showing up at all. I have tried with and without developer mode in all of the connection options (Charge only, Files, Photos).
I wouldn't mind except I want to unlock the bootloader, and I can't find any USB drivers that will work. There are a lot of dodgy looking sites, but none of them seem legit at all.
I am using Windows 11, and it's an unlocked North American T-Mobile phone.
[Update, tried on Windows 10 as well but that didn't have it either]

Are you talking about USB drivers for the OnePlus phone?

Yes... I have managed to install it using somebody else's suggestion of installing "Driver Booster" which found and corrected it for me - But I'd still like a proper install package for it and I have no idea where that magical Virtual-CD is!
(Also I just noticed that my signature is about a decade or more out of date )

Just do a Google search for latest OnePlus USB drivers and you will find them very easy. Make sure to disable driver signature verification on PC and reboot before installing drivers and reboot after installing. Done!

Here are the drivers provided by support along side the MSM tool:
