Hello,
I have already moved to Windows 7, which is very stable and much faster then Windows Vista...
There are some problems with the Windows 7 and USPL...
Is there a configuration guide, which explains the procedure, how I can manage the USB connection problems within Windows 7.
Many Thanks
Roman
You need to update the USB drivers.
The following post will explain how. This works for Windows 7 aswell as Vista.

One thing to note, you have to put your phone in bootloader and connect it via USB for it to show the Mobile Device - HTC USB in Device Manager.
One laptop I was on I knew I had to apply the fix on so hadn't tried without updating, and took me forever to find out why I couldn't find the driver to update.
I used a small program called "Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3b".
Its freeware for using unsigned drivers in Windows 7.
I'm using Windows 7 x64 and USPL works perfect now.
Thanks

Hello,
Had to upgrade my Windows 7 to build 7077 first....!
Then it worked @ 1st try... ;-)
Roman
I have problem with installing driver on Windows 7 64-bit (build 7077). I always get error: This device cannot start (Code 10). Does anyone have solution for it?
I had to get to 7077 as well, i couldnt make it start on 7057 or 7068 either.
I just solved it, but I can't explained how... I tried it again and again.. did some restart of HD and of Windows 7 and finally I was successfull . My tip is to re-connect HD on USB before installation...
I use 7077 x64 and no issues with it whatsoever. I had no issues at all with any build and actually it gets the drivers and Windows Mobile Device Center automatically for me. Check your system drivers like chipset and usb controller for updated versions maybe?
Thanks
Many thanks for the solution that you give to us.
I have been testing every release of Windows 7 since 7000 and as long as you install WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1) and then update the HTC USB Sync driver (put your phone into bootloader and update the driver in device manager with the one from the guide in my signature) you won't have any issues flashing roms. This is for both 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7.
I had many difficulties to install windows 7 to my shift, maybe because of my USB stick. And then every guide was a little bit complicated - too many instructions, too many steps, too easy to make a mistake and then go back to the beginning..
Didn't want to buy an external dvd-drive either..
Anyway, all this before I found this article.
Check this out
Installing Windows 7 without using a DVD or USB via direct method - No USB stick required. No USB drive required
In this method we install Windows 7 on a clean partition like the normal DVD boot method. Only change is we don’t use a DVD drive in this guide. Please follow the below instructions carefully and don’t skip any steps to make things quickly!
1. Download the Windows 7 ISO files from Microsoft. I hope you have already downloaded one.
2. Download and install Virtual Clone Drive from http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html
3. Firstly, go to the directory where you have saved Windows 7 ISO file. Right-click on the ISO file, select Open with and then select “Mount files with Virtual Clone Drive” to mount your ISO file.
4. Go back to My Computer (or Just Computer) and then double-click on the Virtual Clone Drive icon to start Windows 7 installation process.
Yes, you are installing Windows 7 without a DVD or USB drive!
5. Next, follow the normal Windows 7 installation procedure to finish the installation. Windows may restart during the install process. Worry not, everything will go fine.

There already are some from microsoft availabale via the link in the personalize menu. Have you already downloaded those ?
Unfortunately those are aero themes, I'd like some NON-aero, to fit with both resolutions.
ok, now the short way to make a bootable USB Disk to install Vista/7
cmd
diskpart
list disk
select disk $ [where $ is the number of the USB Disk listed in the list disk command]
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=ntfs quick label="InstallUSB"
assign
exit
exit
Copy the content of your Installation Disk on USB and boot from it, just simple as that
do this method install the new windwos over the existing windows, or on a new partition in HDD.
As far as I know, no version of windows allows installing of a new windows except from booting.

I just tried it out and it installs it over the existing running windows, doesn´t matter if it was downgraded to xp, or already upgraded to 7, it will install a new and fresh copy of Win 7 in your local drive, regardless of the existing vista recovery partion, which can be used in any time... (I hope to get ride of it once Win 7 final version comes out...)
When the installation is complete, a folder called "old windows" saves all the files from the preivous running operating system, bt since it´s over 10 GB, I suggest you erase it..
Win 7 is fantastic!! I have my shift now running both Internet Explorer 8 and Opera, Office Pro 2007, Skype, Live Messenger, Eset Smart Security 4, Adobe Reader, and more.... as smooth as butter
Great..............Shift on W7.
Please someone could tell me if the differences are big using W7 instead Vista.
So, it's a great solution to move Shift to run on W7, or not ?
I upgraded my hard drive then changed to windows 7 with a clean install. It is amazing how much better my shift runs now that it is on W7. It is really worth it to upgrade.

Boot into SAFE MODE - Delete New Installed Graphic Card Drivers - Enable Windows 7 Classic theme in Windows and Reinstall drivers!
Can someone PLEASE reply ?
I am desperate. I deleted the HPA Partition in order to free up 3Gigs and installed Windows 7.
I followed all the tutorials, so i installed ECDriver (Vista Compatibility Mode + Run as Administrator) and Touch Screen Driver.
I mention that i see HTC Embedded Controller (in device manager) after installing ECDriver , but touch screen doesnt work (after installing touchscreen drivers) = No Pen or Touch Input is available for this Display
What am i doing wrong ?!?
I also had the same problem, so, I've installed the VGA driver from the package the way mentioned somewhere here and in the same order, as I think the new VGA driver installed with the Win7 installation is missing an important bit at the end of the installation. After that, and after a reboot, the touch started, but I did not get a calibration screen. Even without the calibration, the screen seemed to be fine. I've also disabled Aero just in case as I did not want any more blue screens.
So you have installed ECDriver, Touchscreen and VGADriver (WinVista Compatible & Run as Administrator) in this order ?
When i install VGADriver, i get a 'Cannot copy'. I thought the driver was corrupt and tried re-downloading it, but this didn't solve the situation.
How did you manage to install it ?!?
First I've installed just touchscreen driver and it did not work, so I've installed EC driver and then touchscreen and it also failed. So, I've added the VGA. I think it did not want to install with Vista compatibility so I think I forced it through with XP compatibility, got a message saying the driver was older than what I had installed, I said yes, please, go ahead! It then installed and at the end some CMD windows poped up and then closed and I then installed touch screen again. Nothing seemed to have happened then, so I've restared the computer, had all my fingers crossed (very, very technical!) and voilá, touch screen was there.
Thanks for the support. I tried several times, following exactely your steps, but i didn't manage to make it functional.
Unfortunately I had to go back to Windows Vista.
Now i have Windows 7 Vista Ultimate SP2, instead of the preistalled Windows Vista Business OEM.
Althought it's running ok, i am waiting for the final version of Windows 7 (not the RTM that i tried installing).
Win7 installed = 7 GB, Windows Vista Ultimate = 14 GB :|
Hi
Sorry to hear that it did not work for you. Like I~ve mentioned elsewhere, the only thing that did not work for me all the way is the sd card that keeps dropping from explorer.
Did I mention that I did not do a clean install? I've installed it as an upgrade and had all the functions (Wifi, BT, Phone) on while upgrading to avoid the problem some people have of the wifi connection going missing when upgrading(W7)/downgrading(XP). I've been busy at work so did not have time to use it much or test it some more.
Well, you missed to mention that
I tried a fresh install, after deleting the HPA partition (now i have 37GB Hdd, instead of 33).
Maybe that's why it didn't work for me...
A friend of mine gave my his Shift to try installing Win7 via Upgrade. Maybe it works.
BTW : Windows 7 Ultimate SP2 is running just perfect on Shift. Too bad it occupies 20GB (after drivers and updates)
Hello
I have developed a tool to rotate the screen and emulate a joystick using the accelerometer.
Everything here:

Only tested on XP

Great to find someone developing with Shift device in mind!

Ok tested so far so good joystick is working!
I also have irotate (winxp) video is rotating as yours!
Does it is supported under Win7 too?
Definitly recommended to all shift users!
thank you!
I can't install "GSensorR" on win 7 home premium
I'll give you my feedback everything works good but Gsensor is craching every time I resume from hibernation.
And I cannot make it run on windows 7.
Regards
Thanks for this excellent app! It's running fine on my Windows 7 installation, I just set it to XP compatibility mode during the installation process.
I got it working with WinUAE (Amiga Emulator) aswell
I cant make it run in windows 7 can you describe every step you did?

I just used Google Translate to translate the guide into english and followed it to the point:
http://tinyurl.com/32ctocu and http://tinyurl.com/2v9o455
I set all three files to XP compatibility mode before running them though.
Let me know how it works out for you
Ok it works! Thanks pptan and khals! One question: how can I rotate screen in windows 7? Is it impossible?
Rotation for ours Intel GMA is disabled in windows 7 env. , I still need to understand if this lock is on drivers or Windows 7 registry.
Once unlocked it will work same as XP.
If some other is trying this please let us know here about some progress.
My actual test driver is 8.14.10.1930 on win7 ultimate
Does it work for Vista?
is there any way to run Gsensor.exe with rotation enabled first not joystick?
g-sensor & vista

not for the moment.
dlportio and ppjoy, both installed with no probs with winxp compatibility and as administrator.
virtual joy shows up in properties.
unfortunately try running gsensor-r brings up an error:
run-time error '6':
overflow
does anyone knows a way around this?

hello people,
i've installed windows xp sp2 with a step by step guide on xda (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436982) without problems.
At the end, when we have to install wlan drivers, i've noticed that marvell sdio sd8686 appear in the hardware list but there is also a yellow ! on this hardware with the error code number 10, windows cannot start hardware.
I've tried with some other drivers that i found on internet but with the same results. Someone can help me?

Hi en_ky!
I was following the other installation method "Installing Windows XP with Windows Post Install (WPI)" that you can find on this forum, but basically should be the same.
Anyway, regarding WLAN on the WPI method it says:
"13. WLAN: Drivers are copied to c:\wlandrivers, install from there when you are asked for them later". This step is just before installing CYGWIN
After finishing with SwapResolution,
"Now it usually asks about the WLAN drivers, see step nr. 13."
"If it asks about drivers for Windows Mobile, just answer yes until it finishes."
"To get Wifi working, you have to copy the "copy HTC Shift XP Drivers\WLAN\sdbus.sys to c:\windows\system32\drivers\ say yes to the replace dialog and reboot."
"DO THIS IN SAFE MODE ONLY. This is how I got mine to work. I had the same problem with the yellow and not working wifi code 10 in the device manager."
"If you copy this without being in safe mode, it will not work because after the reboot the system will replace the overridden version with the old one again."
So check again all the steps and do the last one in Safe Mode (I think here is your problem)!
Good luck!
thank you for your reply,
I tried to resolve my problem with help of windows update and an eterneth connection for internet. At first it doesn't start with the same yellow ! But after a restart, it starts!!!!
Many thanks to you in any case; i know that your answer will be usefull for another person with this problem!
