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.

Who will dare to install this ;-) For me, I won't plunge until I get a RTM version in my hands.
And....
Sorry to be stupid but can you explain to me what is this?
This is a bios you flash with the bios update utility from HTC, that is supposed to mimic a lenovo laptop. Using this bios, you're supposed to be able to install windows 7 without activation.

Upgrade bios and then install Windows 7 which should auto-active due to SLIC OEM

If you want to install the RC version - you dont need to install this BIOS.
If you want the RTM build - then you need the BIOS update
Ahh, thank you. but the RTM Version is at the moment not available - (RTM is the same, like the original or the OEM Version?)
RTM for download tomorrow
According to Microsoft, MSDN subscribers and Tecnhet people will be able to download the RTM version tomorrow.
Fingers crossed.
For about 100-200 euro's you can get an MSDN subscription, it will let
you download ALL Microsoft software with keyz !

Anyone with better skills than me with WinHex could analize bios portion about SD Access,Wireless,Cpu Fsb etc?
A way for the solutions?
Hello Guys!
Searching for some tools to see inside this bios I've found this page.
http://www.rebelshavenforum.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=52;t=000004;p=0
The tool "read-write everything" shows a lot of useful infos for our shift (you have to install it on the shift to let it works).
Maybe some of you more skilled than me can use the other tools to hack the rom for liberate sd and wifi ecc...(if the wall is inside the bios rom of course..)
good holidays!
upgrade rom htc hd with Windows 7 64bit creates a problem? can do it without active sync?
edit: does not make me change the title
just copy the .nbh file in your sdcard root and rename it BLACIMG.nbh, turn off the phone and keep pressed vol down + power button, job done, happy flashing.
btw i'm using windows 7 64bit and works fine, you can flash without worries.
What you can try, is to place the HD in tricolor mode, when the device is off, push on the low sound button and keep it press while pushing the power button until you see the tri-color mode.
After that, connect your HD trought USB to your PC. Wait until the PC have load the drivers.
And Run the rom upgrade program "as an administrator".
Normally, it should work.
ALF it works also the old way, just run the RuuWrapper that comes with the rom and it will ask for administrator privileges, press next and update the rom. This method needs active sync.
W7 64 bit and touch HD
I have all my computers with windows 7 64 bit. I have no problem sync the HD, or flash. I have not seen anyone comment about it, so here you go- from trying it, no problems at all. Actully, it works better than it was with XP.

ovviamente non debbo usare il vecchio active sync vero....
course I must not use the old active sync true ....
Thank you all for the clarifications
usually use the USPL but does not work
upgade from the SD don't start remains in bootloader
depend by the SD ....
Please optimize the head of this Thread from "with WM7 x64" to "via Win7 x64". I was really confused cause I wondered if I could find an early WM7 (Windows Mobile 7) in an 64 bit edition in here. Maybe you could change the title to not confuse any more people? WM7 -> Win7!
Thanks,
Future
you know the USPL 2.5 works with Windows Vista?
can someone give a full "step-by-step" to perform the ROM upgrade successfully?
Hi, I referred to this web page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3625567&postcount=272
It does not sound as easy as this topic. I tried to upgrade the driver, wceusbsh.sys, Windows does not allow it (said does not match the manufacturer), and the steps given do not work at all. What other software is needed? Please provide link to get them.
I am trying to upgrade from WM6.1 to TOUCH_HD_WWE_21882_231109 (Duly maryone). Thanks for helping. I am using Windows 7 64-bits.
There aren't problems with Windows 7 64-bit and rom flashes. Also, your thread has absolutely nothing to do with Windows Phone 7 so please correct the erroneous subject.

are you sure you understand the issue?
Win7 driver for HTC USB is NOT compatible with those RUU Loader.
And you need to restore the XP one which DOES NOT have digital signature.
Win7 users need to press F8 before booting windows and choose disable signature check (something like that) option. And you will be able to install the unsigned driver for flashing.
So, please correct your erroneous statement.

Never had an issue with Win 7 64bit and flashing
Hi guys!
I have a big problem. Yesterday I installed Windows 7 on my Shift 9500 according to this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590009
Everything went smooth and I got everything to work except the 2 buttons above the mousepad. I tried everything but I could not get them to work.
I did also update my BIOS to be able to install the BIOS activation according to this guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542397
After that I decided to re-install everything and start from the beginning. Then the problems started. When I install the graphics driver, Im not able to get a higher resolution higher then 800x640 or 640x480!! Im have tried everything, with Aero, without Aero, load another driver but nothing works!!
Everything else is OK, mousepad, touchscreen etc...
I have a feeling that the BIOS is screwed?? When I check in devicemanager I have a feeling that there are some new names in it, like the BIOS would not present the correct devices for the operating system.
Is there anyone who might have a solution? I have tried to update the BIOS with the HTC Stock BIOS but is says its the same version I already have installed.
Is there anyone who can provide me with a new stock BIOS? (EU version, swedish keyboard)
Many thanks in advance!

Did u backed up ur old bios? It seems ur device is flashed with unofficial bios which is too risky for different version of machine. my suggestion is reinstall win7, install all drivers in correct order with vista compatibility except vga driver which u need to get an updated one from intel site. use windows update driver with coutious (make sure system protection is on before updating driver using windows update especially the camera driver). there are lot more ways to get full activated win7 other than flashing bios.
[edit] : we still have pof or cmonex for hope
Hi Guys,
I have upgraded my device to d-two WM 6.1 21056 ROM, now I want to upgrade it again but it's not working??
I set my device to bootloader screen and run the chef tony ruu upgrade file, but it can't find my device on that screen then i can't upgrade it.
Please turn me to the right direction, as I've upgrade it to different roms before now its not working. :/
Thanks.
btw, I have Windows 7 32bit.
Bad OS
Make upgrade at Windows XP SP2 or SP3
-edit-
sorry i don't check date of this post... :/

Upgrade under WIN7
Hi all, I'm a novice in the present company.
I too have flashed to d-two's WM 6.1 21056 ROM following the How to Flashen HR EN, all goes fine until I get to the Hard Reset to Boot Options, to put the options "Clean Registry Hive" and "Format Storage" to YES. Although there is nothing wrong with the camera and record buttons (they make Boot Options menu appear ok) they have no effect in changing the option, and toggling the answer NO/YES. Is this step essential? Is there an obvious solution or workaround? It seems to be working without doing this (except for a small hardware fault in the speaker after I had opened it to clean up water damage, 'nuther story)
Thanks
Henry
Try MTTY (look in one of my posts where it says stuck at 4 color screen...)
