hello to all.....
i know that some time ago the firmware upgrade on a Windows Mobile phone was available only on Windows XP and ActiveSync.
Now that Windows Vista are almost a year alive........activesync died and Windows Mobile Devive Center took its place.
i correctly synchronize my Atom Exec via USB and the firmware upgrade procedure starts.......
after a while the bar isnt loaded at all and an emergency window tells me that
''no download target found''
any ideas what the problem is?
I just screwed my ipaq rw6828 for trying upgrading to wm6 with vista 32bit, upgrade run 40% and stop for a long long time, i disconnect it, unload the battery and whalla! my ipaq is brick, now i am trying to revive it
You should use a program that create a virtual machine, install winXP on that virtual machine, and upgrade from it, as we don't have an upgrade program that can run on win vista.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=1600161
or here (same as above):

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....
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 ...

Please give us the link! I tried all methods on Vista, nothing seems to work.
VMware has a trial here
Use it

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
http://www.anichillus.net/index.php?topic=21.0
does work on my laptop with vista! No problems at all !
Try this one at your own risk , lol ,

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
so the phone is only recognized in xp and not 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.
Hi all,
I am running on MacOSX and I have a prophet.
Unfortunately I input a Kayser rom and now my Prophet does not recognize any touch gestures.
Is it risky to upgrade through a virtual machine?
Thanks for your reply or comments.
hi
no its not risky... i also did it on windows 7... i just install xp on my vm from microsoft... and then upgrad my prophet under xp... and its working fine...
greeze..
ps: r u using a mac or just install a mac on a normal pc... if you install it on a pc, can you tell me how to do it?? i want to try it on my old notebook.. thx...
thanks!
However I am wondering if your reply is good to me...
Your both system are windows...Do you think it changes anything if I am on Mac and open a virtual machine...
I will give it a try, post the result in half an hour...(I hope!)
i couldn't upgrade using vista initially, but after using vmware & installing win xp, it all went ok. done this a lot of time with no problem.
only thing is when you are doing in vm, make sure you are in the vm window while it is upgrading, if you change window back to your osx, the usb connection might be lost & screw the upgrade
