I am trying to flash my atom exec to wm6, but whenever DSUU starts and the exec goes into update utility, wmdc disconnects from the device and i soon get a 'download target not found' error. Help!
I am using Windows Vista 32bit
well i have the same problem...can anyone help
Same
Same issue here, have to reboot my phone in order to get Windows to see it again.
Any suggestions?
Edit: I'm going to test with an XP Virtual machine and see if it makes a difference. This phone is strictly for testing purposes anyway so I don't have anything to lose, doesn't even have a SIM card.
O2 XDA Atom - Running Windows Mobile 5.0
Running Vista or 7?
If you're running Windows 7, download and install Microsoft XP Mode and Virtual PC.
If you are runing Vista or 7 you can also visit VMware's website and downloading the latest version of VMWare Player. Use it to create an XP virtual machine, install Active Sync 4.1 and then upgrade through that.
I'm currently in the process of upgrading my test phone and will let you know the outcome.

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?
I have Vista ULTIMATE X64. I cant do nothing... Looks like stuff working only on XP.

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.
Please HELP...
You should be fine to upgrade. I've upgraded my Hermes on Vista and it went perfectly fine (unless it's different for the Atom which i doubt it would be). Just connect the device to your computer, have your device parteredup with the computer, and run the RUU.
Use a virtual machine software and install XP on it.
I don´t use vista but many persons stated that it isn´t working on it right now, but guess it depends on what software or rom for the upgrade.
cheers

I don't see how, as the main problem with flashing a device (the Atom/HP6800 anyway) is that it can't properly communicate with the PDA due to a driver issue. I've tried a Vista driver listed on this forum somewhere, but didn't really help the problem too much.. Your best bet would be to grab Virtual PC and setup an XP install under it.
On Vista & WinXP same error: Download target not found! after a few minutes.
My device: O2 Xda Atom.
OS: Vista and WinXP
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).

Exactly, I noticed another post where the same issue was occurring.
To bypass this I booted up an XP virtual machine, installed ActiveSync 4.1, connected the phone to the VM (virtual machine) and then ran the update from there.
So far so good.
