Hey ive been lookin on this site for a long time and have been trying to update my rom for my wizard for at least 3 days. I really need your guys help. I have a mac and a pc and my pc is runnin xp and im runnin AS on my mac under virtual pc with windows xp pro. When i try to install AS on my pc i get an error saying windows installer cannot me accessed and i cant get it to install no matter what i do. So now ive been focused on the mac. I got it installed on my mac an runnin but i got another problem. When i usb my wizard it will not recognize it unless i run usbswitch which is not a big deal till i try to update the rom. I get through the unlocker but when i get to the rom itself it tuns the wizard off an on then gets the red, blue etc screen but does not recognize the wizard is hooked up usb i guess cause usbswitch is not runnin. so my problm is what do i do to fix this delma. Maybe this has already been adressed but i havent been able to find it on this forum yet so i apologize if it was already posted. I tried updating to 4.2 beta for AS but it did nothing. I appreciate any help. Thank you.
ps. i have a tmobile mda runnin out of the box roms, so i guess its 1.8 or sumthin, maybe 1.2 i dunno w/e it is

HI to all, i'm a newbie here and this is my first time to write and ask for help here. I been read the entire forum to get all info about the wizard phone and i really like this forum here. Give me alot of info about my phone, so i hope all people here can read first before ask question.
After a long search here, i still can't find my answer so i hope someone can help me. I just install the windows vista rc1 and hack the windows mobile based device working for it and i can sync everything and install software to mobile but when i try to upgrade my rom it won't work??? it say usb not connected but its connected at all. Anyone have any idea my happen here?
Hope someone can help me out, and i really appreciate.
If you use RegEdit to add a key called "WHOS" under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft key in the registry, connect your Windows Mobile 5.0 device and go to Windows Update, a new 7.0MB update will be available that enables Windows Mobile Device Center. This should let you do the update.
I done it already, like im say i can run the windows mobile based device with no problem for sync with my phone but when i try to upgrade the rom, the rom program will say error no usb connection. hope this will make it clear. thanks for ur help.
Anyone have try on this and having a same problem like me?
nope,works fine with me. i have asus p4pe-deluxe MB with usb 2.0 and a usb cable from canon.
my only problem is i dnt have license key,so m only on 14 days trial
hi there, i tried upgrading my 02 xda executive from the software update on O2 website.my active sync 4.1 stopped working in midst and my xda is nt working now.and my pc isnt recognising the xda. the xda isnt starting up its completely dead.I tried hitting the 2 softkeys and the soft reset button and the screen lights up and it says to rollback to factory setting hit 0 zero, but nothing happens................plz help would be appreciated.http://www.my-xda.com/xdaExecSoftware.jsp
also the screen now has USB and v1.00 over it and shows nothing but this and not starting up and my pc pops a message up saying that an unknown usb device and cant be connected
at buddy28, try to reflash it with atleast latest AKU 2.* for universal,just click ur softreset button so that the bootloader will appear again then flash with new rom(be careful though if ur not PRO)
For ArtTX, im now using the Asus Barebone T2-p computer and i have try with another computer with windows vista rc1, it also don't working. It is possible because i'm using vista rc1 not vista beta2?
I'm using Vista RC1 and I cant flash my Wizard too
hmmm.... seem like all the rom upgrade doesn't support vista RC1....thats too bad. Oh well have to switch back to windows xp.
I was trying to change my rom in Vista RC2 yesterday and could not get past the bootloader screen. it was late and I didnt get to mess around with it nemore.
has anybody had any success in this?
To the best of my knowledge, you need Active sync version 4.1 to make progress with ROM upgrade.
Are you able to sync using the new Windows Mobile Device Center? That is, can you do more than sync music like in RC1? If not you still might need to do the WHOS hack to get the device download.

You still need the hack.
I got it to work once by putting the device into bootloader mode first. But that was with RC1-5728. Did you give that a try?
Yes I did try and got frustrated. Read the wiki and found the info I posted above. For those interested, MS just released WMDC beta 3 today (http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Microsoft_Windows_Mobile_Device_Center_x86/1160408330/1)
Please point to the "wiki". Is it on this forum or elsewhere. Thanks for the link to b3 of WMDC.
Sorry dude, this was some time ago. I read it up either in WIKI or on the forum. And I have always used Activesync 4.1. Tried others and WMDC without luck.
When I run the wizard update for rom or radio or anything it says one of two things on my pc, 1. that there is a connection error and or 2. That the program needs to close because it says so. Im sure there is a simple fix to this issue but i just dont know it.
Thanks
I think I know why
After reading through the posts I discovered why I am having so much trouble. Reason being last week I upgraded to Vista, which would explain alot.
Anyone know a way arround this problem?

Downgrade to XP...
There are lots of issues with the rom updater and Vista. Unfortunately until a new version of the rom update utility comes out (or some other new method) its going to be an issue.
Not only RUU, WMDC itself sometimes get problems in Vista.
When I connect the Wizard to PC, sometimes WMDC does not show up, and the PPC is not present in My Computer, and you will see a yello exclamation in device manager!
The only thing I can do is to remove the device complete from device manager and let it detects again, then I can use it again for several times.
Hi!
I'm running ansvr's wp 7.5 (8773) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476058 firmware, but i would like tu upgrade my phone to 7.8.
When I try to flash any other rom wmdc dosen't recognize my phone so I can't do anything. I've searched in this forum but it seems that I am the only one with this problem. Btw I have no problem with zune, it recognizes my phone normaly and I can sync and everything...
I'm new to WP so I'm not familiar with most of the procedures so I don't know is there something that I need to set on the phone or on my pc so I could solve this problem?
Thanks!!!
I was playing with u2m8107 and I dont know what i did but my firmware now is 7720...???
If anybody has an idea what happend...
forget the official rom and stuff, go and get Dynamics or Deepshining and you'll be fine...

I tried, but like i wrote in previous post, i cant sync my phone with wmdc. I will try today on win xp and see what happens
