bootloader, wince rom or extended rom ?
I don't advice to flash the bootloader (but it is possible)
The wince rom should be flashable,
but nobody have tested the code.
extended rom can't be flashed because there is no linux driver for DoC G3 so far.
i doubt the windows flashing utility will work in Wine emulator, but haven't tried

Don't try 8) :roll:

i want to give WM5 a spin, so yes, that means wince + extended.
where can i find the code for that?
and if something goes wrong, can i still recover with windows flashing proggie?

not extended, that is done manually as noone knows how to re-compile an extended rom image

cr2,
so how do you flash it from linux?

Same question - how can I flash my vanilla-wm6-image under linux or mac os x or any other *NIX-OS?

Thanks.

XP OS & Vista OS
I have not been successful in getting this to work in Vista OS, so I just created a partition and installed XP as second OS. Hey, it works until bugs worked out of Vista.

Hi Faria!
Just to let you know that I've just contacted the guys at I-mate regarding this problem and they said there's already one version coming soon.
Hope it does not take so long!

RUU from Cingular
I can flash my phone with Vista, with the offical Cingular 2.25 (which uses RUU 2.5.2) ROM. When I replace the nk.nbf, it can't open the file. Maybe this helps. If anyone knows what the RUU looks for in the rom file, maybe we could fix it.

Did you tried tools than enable all buttons of an application ? (I've done than quite a long time ago and it worked) ?
EDIT : have a look at http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/speedload/Enabler.htm

any luck on this?

If you want help, it's better to actually include vital data: G3 or G4? CID & SIM unlocked, or not?
What ver. of ActiveSync do you have? Win XP or Vista? What have you read so far?
Goodluck

change another ROMUpdateUtility software

Sorry,
G3 device, cid & sim UNLOCKED.
Windows XP home editon.
I flash from bootloader..
Byebye
thanks so far!

I bet it's the Operating System. My desktop has WinXP PRO SP2 and everytime i try to flash a ROM it simply hangs. I must reboot the hard way (using reset button) as not even CTRL+ALT+DEL work. I know it must be something wrong with the USB configuration as every time i need to print something the USB pen drive opens LOL
I'm forced to flash with my old laptop that runs Win2K

Yup ! it works with WinXP Sp2 perfectly,But with winXp Home Edition,well I'am not sure,this might be the cause also, as I have never worked with WinXP Home edition.
I'll suggest u try on WinXp Pro SP2 to be sure .
cheers

Its fixed now =)...
I just installed WIndows Installer 3, and Activsync 4.5.
Now it works fine..
Thanks you all .
(ps: The error was comming after i re-installed my machine. therfore, i had flashed lots of roms,).. And it was an old computer, now i got my desktop pc back, which it way better, ( XP-pro, SP2)

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.

upgrade rom htc hd with WM7 64bit

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.
