htc evo to boost problems with incognito - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

I have seen this in several forums, even a few useless youtube vids and I haven't been able to get past the first section. I know this is an older device and the method I am attempting has been successful for several people, but I'm having problems getting my donor phone to register to a com port. The only thing I see in device manager is COM1(which is there before the phone is connected) and the LPT1(printer). Drivers had to be manually installed on xp and appear to be working properly. Ive seen this issue on xda forums and other sites, but cant find a solution that suits my problem. Any tips or links are much appreciated at this point. I've tried for over a week to figure this out based on research but I think my brain is starting to melt.

HELP! Can't sync with Vista anymore.

I recently installed a different ROM onto my device, and now when it syncs with my PC to install the device driver, it installs "Micro$oft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter #3." What the hell is this? Removing it from the Device Manager only reinstalls the same one and I can't sync with WMDC. How do I get Vista to install the correct driver, and why did it never have a problem before?
This happened to me as well after I installed Schap's 3.54c ROM would like to know if there is a fix.
Oh come on, guys. I really wish just once someone would successfully answer one of my questions. This is kind of a big deal here. I can't flash another ROM if I can't sync, and I'm a little skeptical that NO ONE HERE has ever encountered a solution for this. Help me out!
You've been very lucky my friend.

You’re damn lucky no one has flamed you for all of your noob posts. You need to post less and search and read more.
However, because I'm somewhat of "noob" as it relates to posting but, I'm a bit of veteran when it comes to flashing, etc. I’ll bail you out on this one.
1) First, in order to flash from Vista you should visit the Incredible MrVanx’s site. That should allow you to flash from Vista (I haven’t tried it as I have an XP machine right behind me from which to upgrade my 8525 without the risk of heartburn).
2) If it’s syncing you want then you may need to disregard the above and follow the advice posted here.
And, as advice I gave to another smarta** poster (free advice being worth exactly what you paid for it). Drop the attitude and improve your searching/reading skills. If you don’t want to do that, then stop f’ing around with ROM upgrades.

Meanwhile, you need to post less and learn to read more carefully to the posts of those you're responding to. I have flashed ROMs a number of times. Where did I say that I did not know how to flash a ROM? I said that I can't now because since my last flash Vista will not recognize my PPC. It installs the wrong driver and I cannot figure out how to change that. The only thread I found that seemed to answer this question (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303634) did so in italian.
I also found another thread dealing with this same problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=301876&page=3) but aside from re-installing Vista which I am loath to do, none of those solutions worked either.
And as for your second thread you directed me to, I'd already read that and tried downgrading WMDC before. I suppose I should have clarified myself by saying that it's not simply that I can't sync, I cannot connect my PPC to my computer through WMDC at all. I should have been more specific, but I figured since I mentioned that it kept installing the wrong driver, you would have been able to figure that out on your own.
And let me get this straight, you call yourself a veteran flasher, but don't even HAVE the computer operating system I'm having trouble with? Perhaps we both have things to improve about our postings, Timmy.
As for all my "noob" posts, I searched all of them before posting. Not to mention I've only had to post three previous questions which I could not find an answer to on here or elsewhere, those being
A) Is it possible to copy the gwes.exe.0409.mui without having to do a ROM dump? (Never got resolved, though Sleuth at least tried the basics).
B) Is there anyway to redate SMS's since Jeyo screwed them all up when using the program to back them up. (Never got resolved).
C) Can anyone help with the device lock asking for a password I never set up? (Yep, never got resolved).
If you would like to direct me to RELEVANT threads that answer these questions, I'll be more than happy to thank you for it, but until then at least you did get one thing right about your post, that being what it was worth.
Don't know if you've tried this, but.
I had the same issue. After installing one of JJ's ROMs, I couldn't get WMDC to recognize the new build. Broke all partnerships, nothing helped.
I then completely uninstalled WMDC and rebooted. I then went back to MS and grabbed WMDC again. It installed, I plugged in the TyTN and crossed my fingers.
The drivers re-installed and everything is good in the world now.
Also, Mr. Vanx's guide for downgrading drivers is not necessary for the HTC official or at least the last three builds of Black. I can't speak for any other RUU's, but the latest completely work with Vista (Ultimate & Enterprise, at least).
Hope this helps you out.
Thanks for the effort, silverfox, and the tone. Unfortunately I've tried that a couple of times, and it still goes along merrily installing the wrong driver. Does anyone how I could manually select the "HTC USB SYNC" driver? Not even sure where it's located. Checked under system32/drivers but it's not in there.
Nevermind...

You are quite right, I should have been able to read you mind. My bad.

Wrong again blowhard, read the post again, especially the part about where I say I have "...an XP machine right behind me..., I'm posting from a Vista machine.

Really? Someone else might help you but, you are apparently so smart, I doubt it. Good luck Richard-head.
This worked for me
Settings > Connections > USB to PC
Uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality"

I am new to upgrading a Smartphone and need help

I am not sure if this is the correct place for this thread, and it is my first post so please be gentle if this is the wrong place. Sorry to the Mods in advance.
I purchased an at&t Tilt when it launched and have loved the phone since I got it. A customer came into my store the other day with the Touch Flo Cube(I believe that was the correct name for it)setup running on his. He showed me how it worked, and I fell in love with the user interface on the spot. His Tilt also played streaming videos from Youtube and other websites and said there was a software update for that too. I have been online for the last few days researching software updates for it and have had not problem finding any. The problem is that everywhere I go there is a GIANT warning saying that if you install this stuff without knowing what you are doing it will ruin your phone. Well, as stated I am a Noob to all of this. I have no idea how to do any of the stuff and have not been able to find New User Friendly instructions. I was wondering if anyone out there could help me with updating my Tilt to run the interface that I mentioned, and or if someone could point me in the right direction to find instructions on how to do this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
im having the exact same problem ... i read oen that said to run it on ur computer then sink it with your phone and then i read one that said sink your phone then run it on ur phone .... but which is the right way?

ok, the best place to post this is in the kaiser upgrading forum. dont be scared, we were all noobs once. If you read the instructions properly, and follow them properly, you will be very very very unlucky if you damage your device. The roms and unlockers only have those warnings because they arent responsible if you break your device, and though its obvious, they still have to say it.
kaiser upgrading and unlocking : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=378
So dont be scared, but be cautious, and take your time, rad it all, and take heed of the warnings, but dont let them put you off...

Sorry, another dumb question. I have found a person on htcwiki.com that says all I need to do is to install the Cube programing to my Tilt, then when I open the folder, it will auto install the files to the correct places on my Tilt enabling the Cube to work. Does this seem correct?
The cube updating changes the browser to mirror the i-phone correct? Where I can simply run my finger across a web page to scroll from left to right and side to side?
Where would I find an application that would allow me to view Youtube videos?

I give up I617 bricked?

I have read these threads numerous times for weeks. Also different websites as well... Everytime I think I am getting somewhere, the links are down due to the age of the posts.
Here is the problem.
I was upgrading my i617 with official wm6.1 and it is now frozen at windows screen then shuts off after a few minutes. I used computers running vista and xp. I guess my phone is bricked?? I tried to do a flash although cannot get to any of the original at&T rom links that were posted. I am in serious need of help.
I have been trying to fix this thing for weeks. I have had no issues working on my LG VU with customization, etc. BUt I have some issue with this stupid blackjackII. It is frozen.
I would appreciate any help that you could offer. I have done searches on this website to no avail.
Thanks in advance

Need help with Chevron ASAP

My WP7 (Samsung Focus) Has been dev unlocked before, I am doing the SAME exact thing except it just decides its going to give me the error that its not plugged in or its zune is not opened which both are done.... I have no clue what is wrong I have tried everything but nothing is working.
Things I have tried include making my host files not read only, Reseting phone, Restarting computer, Restarting phone... I have been trying for about a week now and I decided to bite the bullet and ask for help
Welcome on the forum...
i suggest you use a function called: Search.
And browse the stickies.
Remember: you are not the first with a problem, or at least not the only one.
Asking for help is easy, using the search function does not irritate ppl.
Thanks.
Have you made sure that the lockscreen isn't showing? I'm pretty sure your phone has to be on the home screen.
Thread Closed: There are multiple stickies relating to Chevron

[Q] Samsung Epic on Boost

Hi I am new to XDA, I guess i have to do 10 post on general / QandA before i can post in the thread I want to in development section. Mods it would be nice to be able to post directly there right away. Anyway my problem I am experiencing Is I have a Samsung Epic 4g I want to use with Boost Mobile and a Sanyo Incognito. I have hooked up the incognito to my computer and am stuck at step 3 of the "Epic 4g to Boost Mobile (how to get the 3g working)- 2/4/11 UPDATE (MMS & VM WORKING)" guide. I'm a veteran techie and thoroughly understand the instructions in the guide. The incognito is successfully seen by my computer however its not showing it attached through a com port. I am running win7 64 bit, I have also tried on a friends computer with xp 32 bit and the drivers suggested in the guide. Any help on how to get the incognito seen through a com port would be greatly appreciated. Thanks XDA forum, youve been awesome since my first Moto Droid, never needed to post for help till now
See if this helps.... Was written for the 7" tab but the process is very similar.

i remember when i was flashing a prl through my phone, the epic wasnt showing up on the com port, but i had to uncheck the box that said something like "Only show active serial/usb ports" or something like that and then all the ports popped up and i was able to select my epic (which on my pc was com8 in the back)
try that. im sorry i cant really be of help with this. I thought you just cant make a thread in development when youre new? You cant even make a comment? lol thats not very n00bfriendly
What OS are you referring to and where would I check only show active serial/usb ports box. I am using Win7 64bit.
im running windows 7 64bit as well
also, i was referring to the program "QPST" idk if thats the same program used to take the incognito drivers
