Hi, did download (the latest on MS website), install and use it without any trouble. It found my exchange setting on my BA and applied them without even asking me! This was last night, will see what happens today!
@ daddy_yankee1980: It is an upgrade to Vista with all the verification required, so even if it is uploaded you will have to be online and connected to MS website (I think).

it is "Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center Driver for Windows Vista"
not the app

All the beta branding is gone from the application too - so I think its both driver and app.

Maybe you are right, i wont use vista just yet they have to fix a lot of bugs until i start to use it daily
here is links for both builds
x86
amd64

I'm currently using the Helmi AKU3.5 1.4Beta with no sucess to be detected, what rom are you using ?
Are you running the final version of the WMDC ?

Still problems with Vista
I installed the Windows Vista Mobile Device Driver Update Final, but my MDA Vario I is not connected. It is not recognized anyway. Any ideas how to solve this issue?
Thanks.

RUU
I am using Vista with final WMDC released driver with O2 Atom.
I am able to properly sync. No problems. However I am not able to update the ROM. It goes upto the sensing screen to display the current ROM on device and to be updated ROM info. etc. In the next screen it hangs and after some time of about 1 minute the device update utility says that it is not able to update the device. I even disable the firewall to check if it is issue with firewall. But nope no help. I again checked it with windows xp and active sync v. 4.2 where everything works perfect so no issues with O2 atom.
Any help is appreciated.

SX66 WM5 synched successfully
I installed Windows Mobile Device Center on Vista Ultimate and successfully synchronized my SX66 running WM5. In addition, I sychnronized my Mail with Outlook 2007. However, it appears that there is no backup utility. When I checked the help for WMDC, it only shows how to backup a "Windows Mobile 2003 powered device". Is there some other way I can backup my system? Maybe another tool. I am going to try to use ActiveSync 4.1 tomorrow, which is installed on my work computer.

I'm still not able to sync in Vista with WMDC. My BA is saying:
Connection Not Valid: unable to open the connection '`USB'. This Connection is no longer valid or does not exist. Select a different connection and try again.

I'm going to try a hard reset on my BA and see if thats the problem.

Since I just installed WM5 on my SX66, I was unaware that AciveSync does not backup WM5 devices. I purchased Spb Backup and that works better anyways.

It Works
When I plugged my device in today, the system was able to find drivers. All is good now.

Problem with Rom Upgrade with Windows Vista

Anyone got any problem when upgrading Rom on WIndows Vista and using the Windows Mobile Device Center instead of the traditional ActiveSync? It won't seems to connect to the device again once the device is restarted into the RGB screen [after the starting the Rom upgrade process]. After a few seconds, it got the connection error code on your PC. I soft reset the device and no upgrade has been installed. Any ideas?
I try removing the connect via USB check box and use Mtty to check the connections to my device. But after I have done that, the PC won't connect my device to my computer at all... hence, I can't get use Mtty to check the connections.
So I have no idea why this is happening on Vista. It works fine when I am using my old XP computer when I upgrade to the test ROM. Any suggestions will be appriciated. Thanks a lot of your help in advance.

Looking to upgrade to Windows Vista? You might just want to keep an XP partition on your machine, as ROM upgrades via the normal RUU client do NOT work from within Vista, due to changes in the way the OS accesses the device. This also prevents IMEI-check unlocks from working on Vista.

Problem lies with vista, but I have read somewhere a solution is underway, or allready here...

Stuck with Vista

I cannot get any thing to work with Windows Vista. I never had problems with XP and my other Wizard. I had it replaced through the insurance. Please help me. I have been through the threads claiming to have some way of tricking Vista with old drivers. I have installed them and had no change. Read all the threads!!

So Dont do it!!!
Man some versions work some doesnt... TRY XP men if you dont have problems since your first Wizard and xp use.
Dont be in panic mode, is not prooved even if many thread said that.

I'm just pissed, i had a great ROM running on my old phone. now i am stuck with a computer running Vista Ultimate and Mobile 5 on he replacement phone. I was hoping somebody found a way to run these Roms through Vista successfully.

Vista support for Windows Mobile is really hit and miss, it works for some, and not at all for others....your best bet is finding a friend with XP and upgrading it there.

Not G4 specific, moved > Upgrading

i use vmware with an xp image to mod my phone, i run vista x64.

Upgrade vista with all available service packs then download the latest version of WMDC from microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx#download
and try flashing then
If you still have problems try replacing the ruuupgrade files with Muns ones and use these to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=52404&d=1190997171
if that doesnt work then you havent done what i just said

I cannot flash my Wizard now that I have Vista 64-bit. I have followed many different methods that I have found on XDA in the last few days. I've downloaded and ran many different RUU tools, nothing gets me past the RUU crashing.
The one problem that I get hung up on is while installing a new driver for the Pocket PC (wceusbshx64.inf) in device manager I get the error message that the driver is not signed, I click next anyways. I then get the following message "The driver may be corrupt or missing (Code 39)".
Any other ideas? I'm having flashing withdrawals.............
Thank you for your help

Anyone that knows away to get around the above problems? Luckily I still have my XP computer upstairs, so I can still flash new roms. But I would like to keep it all on one computer (Vista)
Thanks

Some day...
I saw a guy with a XP emulator and a partition HD with Vista mostly and a little part with XP Pro ( he use the Vista for work and everything and the little partition just for upgrades but... He use an emulator for vista and he has XP Runing trought Vista... but I cant find the thread again...

Thanks, I remember seeing that thread before. I'll have to find XP and give it a try. The XP disk I have is for another computer so I'm not sure it will work.
Thanks

flahing using Windows 7 beta

Has anyone got this to work? No one mentions Win7 in the thread about replacing drivers to get Vista to work and don't want to mess up my ActiveSync (which works) if I have another choice? Any advice would be great!
P.S. I don't have a XP machine available, converted both to Win7 beta.

I would like to think there would be no problem you'll use the same WMDC as vista, but if you not sure flash the rom from the sd card, just rename it to blacimg.nbh (.nhb whatever? lol) and copy it to the SD main directory, once you enter bootloader follow the on screen instructions and it will flash the rom, I prefer this as it is faster then using the pc

Windows 7 is working excellent

Hello,
I have a Windows 7 latest build working. Just install WDMC (same version as vista mentioned above!)
It's working without any modifications and even much more stable then vista. It uses also less memory then Vista.
It is a very good choice apart from Windows XP -> Vista is the Beta version of Windows 7!!! ;-)
Many Thanks
Roman

I had nearly every build of windows 7 started with 6801 over beta 1 (7000) up to 7068 now and it worked on every version 32bit and 64bit! Just use the mobile device center ;-)

I've had no problems with win 7 synched to my Touch phone

No Problems with Win 7 no need to install anything to contact phone just use the mobile device center.

Ditto, works perfectly. You'll find Windows 7 installs some drivers the first time you connect your phone which may mean your flash times out while it waits. Just let the drivers install and the re-run the RUU and it'll start to flash

Running Windows 7 RC1 (7068) and no issues whatsoever

i couldnt HardSPL on windows 7 but other than that it works great with the HD.

I was trying to use USPL and that doesn't work (get USB in bootloader but the exe fails as can't find the usb port), guess I could try HardSPL but liked the idea of USPL. can you run USPL from the memory card?

did you change the usb drivers to the old ones? and turn off usb in active sync (on the pc)
I've done it on Windows 7 like the other users with no issues.

Install Vmware Workstation 6.5 and then create a new windows XP virtual machine.
Map you usb to the VM whenever you want to flash using USPL and not only. It works perfect!

ok thanks guys, sounds like using the old drivers will work, but Vmware sounds like a perfect solution will try that.

If you don't mind may I ask where you get the download for RC1 7068? I tried through MS site and got a license key but no download link, it said download was no longer available. Would like to try it.

works fine on build 7048

This is funny.... I would love to know how you have RC1 when its not even been produced yet / hit testing stages of RC

To clear up some comments on Windows RC1. The leaked version of Windows 7 build 7068 in the license agreement says Release Candidate so people are thinking its RC1.
No biggie.
For those who want to upgrade from a previous version of Windows 7 Beta to Build 7068 understand that it WILL break your Windows Mobile Center 6.1 - when it tells you that its not compatible with the 6.1 version in the upgrade it means it. Don't mess with it. Install a fresh copy or you will not get it to work. Even if you download the 6.1 version to re-install.
For those who are installing the HTC for the first time it will say that it cannot find it. That's okay. Once it cannot find it - refresh your windows update and it will find a new driver. once that is installed it will try to install a another driver and it can't find that one. Refresh Update again and it will then find the final driver and Windows Mobile Center will recognize the Touch HD.

Guys, I have ActiveSync working (I am on Win7 7000 however) but was trying to flash (and yes, I had 'unticked' allow USB). This is what was failing. Can't find an XP disc so will try the older drivers as per the solution for Vista. Thanks for all the help.

search for VistaRUU on google for the older driver. It should work just fine under windows 7, I've used it to flash my friends' hermes.

Installing WM 6.1

I download the updater application - _ATT Tilt_RUU_Kaiser_CINGULAR_WWE_3.57.502.2_radio_sign_25.88.40.05_1.65.21.18_Ship.exe - from HTC's site, but when I double click on it, it immediately says "kaiser has encountered a problem and needs to close" . I got it to start ok in safe mode, but then ActiveSync doesn't work correctly so still I can't do the upgrade.
It does this regardless of whether the phone is connected or not.
Phone:
HTC 8925
WM 6 Professional
ActiveSync 4.5
HardSpl 3.29 installed.
Computer:
Windows XP SP3
Any ideas on how I can fix this?

activesync is not needed at all

Got It
I did some more googling, and someone had the same problem which turned out to be the browser that they used to download the update files. I was skeptical, but they had downloaded it twice with firefox, and then downloaded it with Internet Explorer. They said it then worked, so I followed suite, downloading the WM 6.1 update with IE 8 instead of Firefox 3.5.
Guess what? It worked perfectly!
Funny thing is that now that I have the stock 6.1, I am looking at the custom 6.1 ROMS. I have a WM 6.5 ROM on my other Tilt, but it doesn't have good support for landscape mode, so I think I'll still with 6.1 since it does support it.
