Hi all,
I am extremely new here! Have learnt how to upgrade my Hermes to WM6.1 with Man2D, all fun.
I'm trying another rom out but twice now I've noticed everytime I try to ugrade on my laptop it has a connection error. But when I go over to the desktop it works fine!?!?
Anyone know what the key difference be?
The roms you guys come up with are awesome by the way!!! Takes some brains!... any to spare??
IS your Laptop windows vista and your pc windows xp ?
I've loaded Xp pro on it as well as my desktop.
Should just mention, that first 6.1 upgrade was on the desktop too. The Hermes connects to the laptop ok as far as activesync, exploring and moving files, etc. It's the part when trying to load to Rom that loses connection (EG: When it's in bootload or going into bootload possibly).?.?

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!
I have a cingular wizard with WM6 TNT 1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0) w/ TouchFlo. My battery recently died (thought it was bricked for a while, then tested the battery and bought a new one). My wizard won't connect to activesync through a usb cable(I have the advanced network checked OFF), and I don't have a bluetooth adaptor on this laptop. I have wifi here. First off I want a different OS because this one is too loaded and there isn't enough free memory, a bunch of apps I don't need. Also I'm wondering if a new OS will let me connect to activesync. Is there anyway to load one onto there, or am I just F'd?
is the phone operational now?
im sure that sktools had a repair activesync option then you can flash whatever
Bluetooth
You can use bluetooth to connect with activesync

However ROM flashing must be done by direct USB connection, you didn't read the question carefully.
If you start RUU and plug the USB to your computer, the RUU screen on your wizard should display USB. If this is the case, you can run RUU directly.
If that doesn't work, try it on a different computer.
what about flashing a new rom via bootloader? have u tried that?
Htc fuze (raphael)
I know this is an old thread, but it came up when I searched this problem. I didn't find a lot of info easily, so I just tried a few things.
Problem: Cannot connect to ActiveSync because phone boots into Windows 6.5 beta and is locked at the screen saying the trial is over. When connecting it to the computer, the computer detected a device but ActiveSync could not connect.
Solution: Remove battery from phone and re-insert. Turn on while holding Volume Down button to get into serial mode. When you plug the phone into the computer in this mode, it should switch to USB mode. This allowed me to run RaphaelWrapper and then repeat the Volume Down boot once complete and reconnect to load the RUU for the AT&T stock OS.
If your phone does not switch from Serial Mode to USB Mode when connecting via USB, there is most likely a problem with the phone's USB port or a more serious problem than described above.
I hope this helps someone else! =)
Hi every body I have I-mate k-jam G3 wizard can I upgrade it to windows 6 ?
Thanks 4 all people will help me......
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 everybody, I recently got myself a Mac I love it but there is one problem. No WinMo Device Center. So to work around this I decided to buy Paralells (for MS Office and WinZip as well)... Anyway, after setting up WindowsXP SP3 and ActiveSync in Windows, all seems well. Well when I connect My HD2 to my Mac via USB (select to connect to Windows) it installs proper drivers and I can use ActiveSync normally.
But here's my problem: When I try to flash, it goes to the bootloader, takes a while but installs the drivers to connect to USB in bootloader, and on my HD2 it even says "USB" but whenever I try to continue the CustomRUU past that point I get the connection error. So I restart, this time going to bootloader first, says it's connected to USB on my device again, but again I get the connection error.
I know you may be saying "Why not just flash via SD card?" and that's what I normally do but I haven't found a way to Task29 this way, and I always do Task29 before switching ROMs. So if anyone either has a solution or a workaround, please help a brotha out! Thnx
Hello,
I am having the following problem. A friend of mine just bought a hd2, secondhand. He wants to run android on the phone so now i have been trying for about 4 hours to get the phone connected to my pc. I have been searching all over hte net for answers to my problem, but nothing i found helped.
Problem: when i want to connect the phone to my pc it is found, but cannot be installed. I only get the message unknown device and ther it stops. I have tried all the solutions that can be found on the net but nothing hepled.
HELP
Have you installed ActiveSync (till Windows XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (since Windows Vista) on your PC, before you connected the HD2 to your PC.
...and just out of curiosity: If your friend wants to run/use Android, why he bought a second hand HD2 instead of a second hand android device?
Good question. He was offered the phone and thought why not. Reaaly thnking about it came later. Oh well.....
WMDC is installed. I am using win 7 ultimate x64. I also tried it on another machine with xp and active sync 4.5. Same result.
