Flashing the ROMs in Vista

Hi guys,
Does anybody know how i can flash the new wm6 ROM in windows Vista?
I just upgraded my system form XP to Vista but the ROM installer doesn't work any more.
Thanks

Hello; yo ujust have to search the forums for a fix. I have Vista also but I still cant get my wizard to flash so I just use a xp machine until I can get a way to use it in Vista.
Hope I helped.

flashing rom on windows vista

can i flash kaiser rom on windows vista without any problem? or i must use different way?

No. You will have many problems, and if you press "update", the Nuke gonna come to your city.

i just did it without any error. same as win xp. the rom is KAIS_ROM__eOS_4_888_F_pp6__NoRadio

I've never had any problems flashing ROM's with Windows Vista Business edition. I don't know if there is a difference with the Home editions where people have been experiencing problems.

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

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

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

Flashing under vista how to ?

Thanks a lot for your great job we really appreciate all your works;
is there a way to flash hardspl and rooms under vista ?;
its a little bit easier than flashing trough sdcard so it will be very kind of you if you show me a way to do this under vista;
thanks a lot bro

Same as XP, I have a vista machine and I have flashed mine many times without problem.

I had some issue with Vista while HSPL. Tried with XP Pro, it works without a hitch.
ROM flashing from storage card is easier too.
I could have save hours (reading up and testing)

Flashing using Vista should be almost the same as using XP. You could run the process with elevated user rights to be on the safe side (not sure right now, if that is even neccessary), but apart from that, it should work without a hitch.

Maybe I should correct my response. I flashed HSPL with XP, never tried it with Vista as it is usually a one time flash. I have since flashed many time the ROM's with vista.

There seems to be an issue with USB and vista and USPL, i only get error messages. under xp its 100% fine every time.

I flashed HSPL with Vista without any problems.

thanks a lot bro for your quick answers its very kind of you
anyway can i flash the hard spl from sdcard with same way of flashing rom from sd card ? and how to do this safetly ?
Many many thanks brothers

I had absolutely no problem flashing HSPL with Vista (32 and 64)

There is also an WMDC update for vista that's recommended to install if you havn't already which might help if you're having problems still

i'm using win7 x64 and i'm flashing without any problems ^^
and i've installed the same WMDC, so i suppose it works on fine on vista too

I have a Macbook Pro and never have any problem flashing under Bootcamp Vista Ultimate. HTH.

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.
