well the reason behind my post is that I dont wanna change my OS and still be able to upgrade my phone! :S
Creat a partition.
The ROM Update Utility seems to crash on Windows 7. I tried in XP compatibility-mode, as Administrator, but it still crashes. It has something to do with drivers. In XP, the ActiveSync drivers are installed while in Vista or Windows 7, Windows Mobile Device Center-stuff handles it.

To enter boot loader on your device Press reset with stylus while holding Camera button till three colour screen appears then connect to USB (pc)

I am in an all VISTA house...
Has anyone found a way to upgrade using vista as of yet?
The information and driver located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723 works for me in doing a mtty upgrade. As for doing an entire ROM update using the full utility, I don't know... MTTY is faster, thus why I do it.
My problem is with my Cingular 8525 I need to first flash to a previous rom.
Need to use the EXE to do that and that USB driver appears to ONLY work with RUU or MTTY.

It would be ALOT safer to not brick your device, it you dual-booted your PC and had XP available. I wouldn't want to take a chance on bricking device unless I REALLY had too, dual boot is not that hard.
Sadly... you can't install XP after VISTA because of changes to the bootloaders that Vista Uses.... you can do XP then Vista but not vice versa.
Learned this the hard way during the beta.

Good to know if I get ahold of Vista.
Good news... my sister-in-law still hasn't used the upgrade to VISTA that I got her, so I guess I can at least roll bacK, SuperCID, then flash to the new rom.
That way I can use POF's new v3 unlocker later when someone comes up with a magic WM6.
The one thing I hope is that the programmers out here do get their hands on VISTA as more and more people are going to get PCs that come with Vista on them and will have little choice to use it.
I am just glad I was able to do this for now....
The final version of Windows Mobile Device Center has been released and I have not had any issues doing ROM updates with the final version.
Secondly, you can use a utility call Easy BCD to modify the Windows Vista bootloader so that you can dual boot Windows XP on a computer that already has Windows Vista installed. You just install Windows XP on a separate partiotion from Vista. The computer will then only boot to Windows XP. Put the Windows Vista DVD in and do a repair and the PC will now just boot into Vista. You can then run the Easy BCD tool in Vista and tell it where you installed XP and it will modify the bootloader so that Windows XP will show up in the boot menu. The bootloader changes can also be done manually but the utility is much simplier (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/919529)

Are you saying that you have done ROM updates in Vista through WMDC Final? I tried this but it did not work. If you have done it then I may try again.

Perhaps I need to look at it again then... when I tried it I had no luck.
I don't want the hassle of modifying windows if I dont have to.
What updates have you done with WMDC?
@rgreen: if you're keen on buying everyone vista, i'll take a copy
Hi,
Just wanted to know if wm6 upgrading works fine on vista and sync centre? I've been upgrading on xp, but just wanted to know about vista as well..
Thanks,
James.
i think no you must do it with xp
I did a success upgrade to WM6 on my Prophet with Windows Vista with Sync Center a couple of days ago.
Vista is supported for upgrade in the official rom .
The first time I did an upgrade to a PDAViet rom it was successful in vista. I tried on vista 32
On Vista x32 it's possible with some focus but on vista x64 forget. I'm use vista x64 and when I wont install new wm6 i am going on windows XP!
under vista 32bit it is possible, but not under vista 64bit. afaik some of the flash tools are 16bit applications and these don't work on a 64bit OS.
I have vista ultimate build 6000 32bit i tried the vista upgrade guide on this site but still my RUU crashes..................
something which can help but with without any warranty:
install vmware and set up a virtual windows xp machine on your vista system.
the newest vmware allows to intercept all new plugged-in usb devices to let them appear within the vmware.
with this i could connect my prophet to activesync within that VM.
but it always aborted the flash procedure at 80%

I cann't explain, but some ROM do and others don't. For instance a have a NVID RUU that works well, but the famous Step 1 files from PDAViet an Mobis don't work at all.
it never worked with me, am using Vista Ultimate 32 bit and there is something mentioned on www.mahmood1.com about having to change a driver and restart a service, but no luck at all....i also tried VMware and i could only use step1 but Step2 did not even start!!

In my experience, Step 2 is no problem under Vista, but I can't get step 1 done. Not even with the drivertrick. An other NVID Ruu worked though.
I have no experience or knowledge of VMware you mentioned... what (and where) is that?

not that I know off, would be a breakthrough. I figured out (just by trying) that the RUU is not the problem itself, its the nb file that isn't always compatible. If I find more solid an workable information/solution ofcourse I let it know.
Hi,
Ive been facing some trouble downgrading from an unlocked Win 6.1 by Erofich back to the default imate smartflip win5 ROM.
I followed the steps of a standard install, get the SPL screen, and then run the RUU from the PC, but its gives me an Error 260.
I have installed several Win 6.1 ROMs without issue. Never had to go back to win 5. Can someone tell me what Im doing wrong?
Thanks for the help.
Edit: Im running ActiveSync (Sync Center) on Win 7. I was reading elsewhere in this forum about having to be on XP to downgrade. Can someone confirm this.
yes, you need a pc with windows xp sp2, obviously you need to make a cid unlock
XP mode
You can download for free of microsoft the virtual machine called xp mode. and attach the usb to the virtual machine and do it that way, without having to find another machine with xp on
If your Windows installation does not support Microsoft's "XP mode" (e.g. because you're not running Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate or Enterprise or your CPU doesn't support visualization) installing your old Windows XP license in the free http://www.virtualbox.org will do just as well, maybe even better.
Also, I never really had any issues running any RUU on Windows Vista or Windows 7, usually running it as admin or temporarily disabling UAC should do just fine - you can also try the XP compatibility mode (not to be mistaken for XP mode).
I have installed Nokia care suite 5 on a windows 7 x64 PC, but I am unable to find the folders where the rm-803 files should be copied.
So is it possible to use Nokia care suite 5, on a windows 7 PC, to debrand my Lumia 710?
Wait....how the heck did you get it to install on a Windows 7 X64 PC? I've been trying on my Windows 7 X64 laptop, my W7 x64 PC, and my wife's Windows XP laptop to try to do this, but I get an error saying "the installation was interrupted before it could start".
You never got this error?

The errors that I got was a pop up that says I should install ‘VC++2005 redistributable Service 1‘ and then that I should install version 2010. Still couldn't get it install.
Then I right click on the 'Nokia care suite install package' and I think i chose 'check/troubleshoot compatibility'. Then windows returned a message that it turned off version check etc.
Try it. I am writing this from memory. But know that even after getting it installed I don't know how to proceed because the instruction for de-branding is for XP only

I got it to work on my Win 7 Laptop 64 bit, and flashed a couple of ROMS to my US T-Mobile 710. I just installed the stuff it told me to, then closed and re-started Nokia Care Suite Installation and that was it....
What are you having problems with? I followed the instructions just fine on my machine....

NOKIA CARE SUITE
this works on my windows 7 x64, i am currently using this and have flashed loads of times
i am running it on vista x64, i know vista and 7 are close systemwise, if this helps the nokia folder where you put the roms you download is hidden, the path is:
c:\Program Data\Nokia\Packages\Products\RM-___
i have also flashed a few roms, no problems

Untick automatic product detection.
Go to "File -> Open product" and select RM-817.
Programing-> Recovery and click in update list and connect it to pc pressing the VOLUP key and it Start.

It's not Windows 8's fault (I flashed the ROM using Windows 8 Enterprise 64-bit) , did have to reconnect the Phone once though.
