Has anyone tried it? Ever since moving to a MacBook Pro, I no longer have a PC at home or work. I've got WinXP running just nicely with the few apps I need for work under Parallels. It's brilliant.
But I've got my HTC TyTN and was wondering if anyone has tried upgrading under Windows running on Parallels? Parallels' USB support seems to be fabulous, but when you're talking about blasting ROMs... well, figured I'd ask first.
You can also upgrade from OS X:

I have updated a number of times on my 8525 from an XP VM on a Macbook 2GHZ with 2GB of RAM. I would advise that you close all Rosetta aps before running an updater -- I was worried about system hangs due to resource allocation issues. No problems for me at all with the last 3-4 builds of Parallels.

I was not able to flash with parallels. OSX would take over the USB, and won't release to parallels when the phone reboots in bootloader mode. Bootcamp with XP worked perfectly for me.
I just went ahead and tried it under Parallels for S&G's... I'm using the latest version of Parallels and have the "connect USB devices automatically" option checked on my VM config. That option might be why it works. Oh, and I successfully updated to Cingular 2.06.

Hi .
I'm planning on upgrading the rom on my MDA Vario II (Dutch).
First I want to unlock the CID. I've got a 1.04 bootloader.
Recently I upgraded to MS Vista (RTM).
When I try to run the patched radio upgrade I always get a ERROR 150.
Yes.. I'm in bootloader mode. It's says IPL-1.01 and HERM300 SPL-1.04.
Could it be Vista??
yes its vista its had something to do with the sync tool in vista they will fix it according to a earlier post next time use the search function there is a thread about Vista and Ruu
I don't think they have released Mobile Device Center for Vista RTM yet... Right now, you see the phone as a drive... Or did you install the beta MDC?
both. I access the phone through the explorer. And I have the beta MDC setup for syncing with outlook etc.
This has been posted a million times, but here we go...upgrading ROMs will not work on Vista until manufactuers update their usb driver code on the installer; until then, use XP/2003. By the way, is that pirated Vista you have?
cant he just upgrade the rom from SD? I have a (legit) final of vista, but havent tested it yet, since i dont see the need for an uprade atm.
I have the Mobile Device Center installed and it all works perfect.
So, if you cannot do it, due to a bug in Vista, maybe the SD works
You have to be careful as if the program crashes during the upgrade of the rom you can brick your device, so I will stay with XP or SD card way to flash a rom.

I have Vista RTM and I confirm that the MDC is not stable enough for all these update work... it failed for me a few times and I'm lucky with my 8525 and it is still working OK after reflashing it with another PC (XP).
Aha. That explains that.
I've just managed to get my JasJar stuck in bootloader mode after trying many times to upgrade the ROM. This, despite the upgrade tools telling me there are errors.
Curses.
Apparently people don't know how to read what I posted...
ITS SAFE
I already flashed my Universal with Vista
-First need to install MDC, could be beta from MSDN, because it will update.(still don't know why it's not included on RTM)
-Run compability mode WIN XPSP2
-Run as Adm
thats it...
ISN'T Safe!

I am testing vista since CTP (Community Technology Preview), then RC1 (Release Candidate), RC2, now RTM (Ready To Market) as Technet Plus Member.
I can't say is safe to use it even for day by day syncing, I have always unpredictable results; my TyTn sometimes is a Smartphone, sometimes Pocket PC, syncing? may be, every time you connect you have to guess...
This happens because Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC not included in Vista RTM) is still in BETA 3 stage, not even RC!
LESSON LEARNED
If you plan to install VISTA and you are a WM expert or just business user DON'T upgrade your XP, just install VISTA on a second HD and use your XP to solve the VISTA problems. Even Virtual PC 2007 (good to have with XP installed to have available some appz still not VISTA upgraded) couldn't use USB port, so no way to have a safe "old style" USB connection
Isn't VISTA fault, is a new tecnologies-early adopters problem
One of the most common source of problems with vista are USB drivers (no way in my knowledge to have a simple webcam working with VISTA)
This has great importance when you are doing something "uncommon" and "mission critical" like flashing something!
How do I run OS, and rom loaders on a MAC. I would like to load a rom that fixes the wifi problem with my Verizon XV6800. Please can someone help. Thanks
You don't.
Unless your Macintosh has an intel processor and has some sort of Windows emulation (bootcamp parallels, wine, etc.), you can't. There isn't a way to do this straight from OS X.
Syncing your PDA with Mac is easy with the help of The Missing Sync or PocketMAC but updating your firmware, you'll have to use the next best PC in your area.
Good luck
Windows XP
Can anyone send me windows XP so I can duel boot and flash my XV6800 rom? I have parallels but no windows. Thanks

No. That's asking for wares which is against forum policy. You can download a trial from Microsoft and use it that way.
Be careful when running ROM upgrade tools within a VM on a mac. I got stuck in bootloader and the VM wouldn't see my phone at all. I had to find a PC in my closet to break it out I can only say this is true with Parallels though - VMWare may work better in this case but I've got no way of knowing.
try flashing from your microSD card

I had the same trouble.....funny my old treo could be flashed in a Parallels VM with no problem, and ESN repairs on sanyos also work in it.
I noticed that if you keeep the mouse moving, it will be more likely to complete the flash....however that makes no sense!
Thanks
Thanks for the replys. Sorry for asking for wares.
I recall reading that the software for unlocking/flashing custom roms was for XP only. Is there a solid, working solution for Vista yet? If not, is anyone planning to make one?
How does activesynch work with vista & outlook 2k7? Any downsides to upgrading?
Might have been problems with Vista 64, I'm running Vista 32 and have never had a problem with custom roms.
Im a vista user and never had any problems, i never read too much into it but from what i understand its because they dont update their drivers. Someone posted the driver update in this section. Ive tried dcd's and currently using no2chems latest.
Using Vista
I use Vista on my laptop and have been experimenting with the HTC Titan since mid December.
So far, I never had an issue with Vista ( and I have experimented lots!!)
The only thing with Vista on my phone compared to my XP desktop at work is that the transfer of files to the HTC is must faster with XP. The XP machine also connects and syncs a bit faster than the Vista.
I can confirm that running Titan_Unlocker, and loading ROMs via Vista 32 with Windows Mobile Device Center works just fine.
Vista USB
I have not been able to connect with USB on my computer runing vista. I use of course windows mobile device and connect thru bluetooth, but have never been able to connect with usb. I checked the setting I WMB and have allow usb connection,.
I can tell you from experience that flashing thru bluetooth boes not work. Tried it about a year age with the Vzw upgrade on my 6700, locked up in bootloader screen, I took it to vzw and they gave me a new 6700.
That's odd ^
My Sync works both ways, and out does XP in every single way.
Vista performance depends on hardware mostly, and top notch gets you top performance.
I haven't had any problems syncing with vista.
I did have one problem when trying to upgrade to a custom rom and maybe someone here can help me answer it.
I got the sprint 3.16 test rom on there ok, then i installed the unlocker, but i couldn't get out of bootloader screen. I had the exit bootloader program but it kept saying it couldn't find the usb. then i tried attaching it to my xp comp and running the exit bootloader app and it said it was missing some dll file. so i tried redownloading and even emailing the exit bootloader from my other comp but same issue, missing dll file.
I ended up just loading the relocker and then going straight back to the latest rom because i couldn't figure it out.
hi, have looked through all forum and cannot find if anyone has solved there problem of computer not picking up hero, i have windows 7 but also did it on vista before I upgraded.
tried different roms but still not working tried drivers no go, htc sync reinstalled and nothing.
if any one has any ideas that would be amazing
this might sound a little obvious but when you connect it to your computer, yes it will say connected on your phone but you actually have to 'mount' your phone before your computer will reconise it. to do this you go into your notifications and do it that way. or at least thats what ive found (as i am also running windows 7)
yeah nothing comes up on my hero as it did before either, tried looking all over the net, tried reinstalling the drivers from vista and all of that. tried re flashing roms but nothing, really piss poor, ready to smash the thing up.

On the Telus HTC Hero I also had to go to Settings--->Applications--->Developement--->Enable USB debugging
I have a slightly different problem. I have windows 7 x64 and I can mount my Hero, but I CAN'T sync with outlook. Are there any workarounds? I tried to set up adb usb drivers but it didn't help
yeah done that mate, nothing happens, cant believe it no amount of wipe and reflash sorts it out, tried on a couple of computers nothing tried everything i can find!!

Hi Alex,
I have same issues (Windows 7, 64 bit, HTC HD2).
My workaround is this:
make sure phone is not connected
remove any installs of Windows Mobile (starting with the instance of driver update)
re-start PC
reinstall Windows Mobile Device centre from Microsoft (I get an error on the device install, this seems normal)
restart PC
I then attach HD2, then go into tools;Active Synch and attach the HD2 to the PC
The USB device connection sound !
Then Windows installs the device driver
Then Windows Mobile Device Centre sees the HD2
I have also removed the PIN/Password at startup as this seems to help.
Not sure how long it will last, in the past Ive only had a couple of days...but at least it connects.
Hope this helps.
BTW PC is a DELL Studio

Hi, first of all I would like to apologize for my English.
After installing this ROM dynamics7 2.0 ZUNE longer detect my phone. I tried to reset the phone but it did not work. The USB cable is definitely good because he installed the ROM.
I tried different roms but it did not work. Trying on another computer or do not give. The phone is not detected by the Zune. mistake can be seen in the computer drivers. the system can not retrieve them. I will add that the installation of Roma do not have any problems.
What could it be?

Restart the device in bootloader mode and look for the word "serial" to change to "USB". If so, you have a connection to your PC

Zune does not detect my phone when connected nothing happens. I'm only in device manager two errors:
1.The Windows has stopped this device because of the reported problems. (Code 43)
2.driver this device are not installed. (Code 28)
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.
Please help because I do not know what to do with this phone.
I think that when I go into a different mode vol-+ power zune starts but displays an error (the device can not be restored to a previous version)
Of course, before installing custom roms I did not have this problem.

Zune is the latest version from the download of microsoft (4.8.2345.0). zune is installed on Windows 8 I would add that before the original ROM (before flashing custo rom) everything worked. I tried on another computer without success. I have uploaded a clean Tango, without effect.

I've inserted a correction here...I restarted by device in bootloader mode and plugged it into my laptop; Zune did not start; however, the letters "USB" do appear in the center-bottom. Rest of post remains the same...You may view your device from your PC's File/Windows Explorer by changing 3 zune driver entries via your PC registry editor and when the device is on wi-fi, you may also view other folders that are on your windows phone. My PC is running Windows 8 Professional. It is important to check if your computer and its drivers are compatible with what you're attempting to do. I don't use Zune for my multi-media copying to and from my device. I use the professional version of Windows for it's easier compatibility such was WMDC 64-bit. I don't pretend to know whether I get, don't get, have or do not have your problem; what I do know is leave no stone unturned; double check everything on your PC for compatibility...are all your drivers updated for example. I have an older 32-bit Dell Inspiron E-1505 I upgraded to 4 GB RAM and upgraded it from XP to Windows 7 Enterprise Edition (not Home Premium) and from time to time whether it was my device or my Win 8 PC; sometimes they wouldn't play nice, thus I have the same setup on my Win 7 machine and if that didn't work; pull out my Hiren's Boot Mini XP Thumb drive and enjoy some old school computing; maybe I don't get it, where I'm from, we call it Plan B...improvise!

I tried on windows 7 pro 64 bit and win 7 home premium. It did not work. In bootloader mode to install the drivers successfully but the Zune does not detect the phone in this mode. Including the phone in normal mode, the driver installation error pops up device not recognized. Zune without the driver does not detect the phone. Previously the phone was detected under the name HTC Titan X310 is now htc eternity.

I'm running Windows 8 Pro on my desktop; both WMDC and Zune will run when I plug my Titan into the laptop; by that I mean I'm at my Start Menu and Tiles; not Bootloader or USB Host Mode. I know that because the HTC Titan appears twice in my File Explorer on my laptop. Though my device is HSPL, I did restart my device in bootloader mode and plugged it into my laptop; it did not start Zune but it did read USB center-bottom. I may in due time get me another Titan I to play with but there's no way I'm risking my device to any further experimentation now that she's unlocked all the way and running 7.8 and runs as smooth as a baby's butt.

I've never used the Dynamic ROMs but I can't stand using Zune so I tweaked my registry to make my Titan visible via Windows/File Explorer, I'm curious as to whether any of you with this problem can connect your devices to the developer tools with Windows Phone 7.x for side loading apps.
