ActiveSync 4 Installation on ANY WINDOWS! - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

Hi There,
Wondering if somebody (XP users) can post content of its "\Program Files\ActiveSync\Drivers" folder here...
I have Win2k3 Enterprise Server and used "Windows 2000" compatible mode (btw, xp <sp2 users can try this cool workaround too) to install AS
So, my ActiveSync works fine (starts/ends) but the drivers supplied with it can't be installed in w2k3 showing error during installation of "WINDOWS-MOBILE BASED" device
So, for everybody having got message box with "Error installing on this machine". Just enable Windows compatibility mode and choose Win2k. After that you probably can sync via irda or BT but not USB
For me now, please somebody attach "WceRndis.inf" file from your system!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Thx!

On my W2K-system, AS 4 works fine. And here is the requestet file from my system.

Thanx Chris!!!
But I'm in need of this file from a person who runs Windows XP or 2003
I'm running Win2k3 and I switched Win2k compatible mode. So I tricked AS installer and AS installed as on Win2k machine. Everything is Ok but the INF file can't be used on Win2k3 because it is designed for Win2k

I AM RUNNING WIN XP PRO SP2 and WIN2K3 SP1 AND HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS WITH SYNCR NOR CONNECTING VIA USB2.0 IT TOOK ME A WHILE BUT I GOT IT WORKING.
those are the files you wanted:
hope it'll help

Thank you in advance!

Magneto vs XP Pro Sp1

For some reason, My Dell will not upgrade to sp2. So I am stuck with an XP Pro Sp1 system - how do I get to SP2?
Is it possible to load Magneto with my current config (i.e. XP Pro sp1)?
Go to the windows update site to upgrade. It won't work if you're using a pirate copy of windows.
No Activesync 4 requires SP2.
ok. thanks - that must be why it won't upgrade.

Upgrade? You mean upgrading the ROM? This doesn't require ActiveSync 4, the upgrade program kills Activesync so it has RAW access to the device. But if you want to sync with a WM2005 device you need version 4.

It has nothing to do with the ROM itself, but with the version of the RUU. HTC simply didn't made a VistaRUU for the (older) Prophet-model. The (newer) Trinity does have a VistaRUU, that's why there are two versions. Unfortunally the RUU's are model-specific, so we can't exchange them (tried it already ofcourse )
So, some genius has to modify a VistaRUU for use with the Prophet (or the other way around). BTW I do have one RUU that does work with Vista, but it isn't able to read any other nk.nbf then the one it came with.
ahhh, now i get it .. thanks for the explanation
now i'm looking for a genius he gets it to work
had the same problem, using vmware now & no problem now!

Virtual Pc don't emulate the USB connection.
I myself did create a second bootpartition on my PC with XP. So, now when I startup, I can choose between my main OS (Vista) or the second one (XP).
It is called dualboot. It is a bit of a hassle to set up if Vista is already installed, but the advantage is that XP runs native, without any emulation.
Here it is described very punctual: http://www.anichillus.net/index.php?PHPSESSID=rho4r4287rcptee39sv57rm0f3&topic=26.msg43#msg43

I have ruined my new VISTA notebook, cos I tried to make dualboot OS. Now it goes to Service Center.. Eventhough I just buy for 3 days..
And it won't cover buy warranty..****..
Better to run everything under XP actually.
Make "search" button your best friend!!
I'm using Vista ultimate edition and never had a problem upgrading my JAMin using old or new method! I even made HardSPL with vista just replace and edit .bat file! (why should i install another windows using virtual machine!!!)
This is the one...
Vista upgrade guide should be followed (once) to be able to use the vista_RUU
Guide vailable here:

IF you only wants The vista-RUU:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=60781&d=1197014861
All what you have to do is to replace the .nbf file and upgrade!
Note: I have been using this since long time and never had problem upgrading my prophet (G3) in windows vista in any matter!
sorry to hear that man... hopefully next time it's ok
i use VMware Workstation, this program has full usb support and i have had no problems with it. just make sure you install the vmtools and dont plug in your phone until you have loaded XP fully and have it full screen.
this i found is the best way for things to happen (updates etc). also usful for bios updates since VISTA doesn't work fully yet

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. As I said, it gave me a hassle too, but nothing I couldn't fix with the help of the instructions.

You are right, this is a way to get things going with Vista. The downgrade of the USB drivers makes it possible to flash "traditional", I'm doing that succesfully from April last year. But to use a RUU, is a different cup of tea.
The VistaRUU you use is for G3 only.... you've guessed, my device is G4....

Upgrade Rom On Vista

How to Flash Prophet Rom On Windows Vista ?

Yep, that method works, but the problem is the RUU itself. Allthough you have the right drivers after this procedure, only a modified G3 RUU will be able to flash on Vista.
The traditional way of flashing using os.nb with the Upgrade.bat works though.
Works
The on above does work, but I tend to use ShellTool more often.

Can you explain about ShellTool?
edit: I found some info. If I understand correctly, ShellTool is the "traditional" way of flashing, integrated in the Upgrade.bat?
vmware
A virtual machine loaded with XP is the best option for flashing comfortably, if you (unfortunatelly poor you) have vista on your pc.
VMware makes it simple and fully functional.
ciao!
I'm happy to say , the vmware does work !
I tried VM+WIN2K on Vista . It works perfectly !
i agree with vmware, have not had a problem running vista home premium running vmware/xp pro & all flashing is A-OK!!
hi.
please give some information about this program ( vmware ).
and is it a free program?
thanks
I'm using a simplified version of vmware found elsewhere on internet .
I'm not sure whether I could put the link here or not ...

Of course they have a trial version, but I am not interested. I want that simplified version, coz 189 dollar is way too much only for upgrading. I better keep my old xp machine.
Are you guys sure you have tried all the methods ? I have a G4 prophet and the one from this link

When i use vmware+xp under vista:
Do i have to install activesync under vmware for flashing?
Do i have to deactivate something in Mobile Device Center in Vista

In Vmware menus , there's a 'removable device' option to allow you plug in usb devices . After you activate the function from the menu , your phone will be disconnected from Vista and recognized by the OS you installed in Vmware . Then , you can operate in the VM updating , synchronizing , everything as usual .
In addition to the previous advice, you must install ActiveSync under your VM-XP. You must look at it as a seperate computer, it needs to have all the software and drivers to perform.

Flashing ROMs with Vista is unreliable at the best of times. If you have access to XP, use it!

I don't have, what can i do?

Umm... I don't know...
try downloading vm ware, then install an XP operating system on that virtual image. You'll need over 1.8gb RAM, since you'll be running 2 OS's concurrently. Then install active sync and off you go!
The vmware download is free from their website.
(I did this to upgrade my Prophet - I was lucky enough to already have a VM+XP dvd from work - but I'm sure you'll be able to find an XP image if you look hard enough)

good job!
What is the main point of the error in Vista? is it a driver problem or is it caused by a bug in WMDC? Prophet can connect with WMDC on Vista and transfer data easily, so during the flashing procedure what is done by windows?
It just come ""not responding"" wtf!!!

Drivers... The RUUs for Prophet do not function fully with Vista - USB communication is handled differently.
Thank you for your reply..
So we will continue with xp for a while..
By the way, you are a moderator now! Conguratulations!
As for the VMware solution and USB ports - I didn't touch anything in the XP configuration, but active sync found my phone via the USB no problem, so I was able to upgrade simply by following the instructions here
