X1a +Windows 7 X64 + Windows Mobile Center - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am trying to use activesync with:
1.-STOCK X1a from rogers
2.- Windows 7 x64 ultimate
3.- Windows Mobile device center 6.1.6965
Windows do not recognize the X1 in activesync mode ( even without the check in advance) and it does not work as a disk device.
What driver should be use by windows 7 for the x1a? is there an how to describing the procedure I should follow?
regards,
Daluv

Weird.
I have Xperia X1i and i'm using Windows 7 64-bit Professional edition.
When I connect my device to the computer, windows 7 recognize an unknown device & will check online for drivers & install them immediately.
But maybe you should connect your X1 & run Windows Update, maybe this will help

Already tried that. thanx.
can you show me a device manager screenshot with the x1 selected?
thanx
hence why I am looking for a more formal approach to make sure every step is fine...

also don't have any issues with
1.-STOCK X1a sonyE generic
2.- Windows 7 x64 ultimate
3.- Windows Mobile device center 6.1.6965
could be the usb drivers on the pc
one thing you could try is if the pc have bluetooth to see if you can activesync over that

seem to work over bluetooth.... how would I solve the usb problem?

maybe look for new drivers for your motherboard on the manufacturers site or the manufacturers of the chipset the motherboard use
of cause after you verified that windows mobile device center->mobile device settings->connection settins
got usb checked on

yeah usb is check on in windows mobile device center.

Sorry for late response, but are you using a custom rom or is it running on official rom?
If you're using a custom rom with HTC Sense/Manila on it, U might check which USB connection type you have.

stock ROM from rogers.

mhm..Weird.
Have you tried it with another computer?
Maybe a non 64-bit windows?

does work with a 32bits XP.
even simple USB disk acces in windows 7 64 bits does not work. So the USB driver going crazy is possible. Cant find any USB driver. for my machine and I am unable to locate what chipset that machine is using..

That's exactly what is you issue. You need the drivers for your motherboard chipset to get everything working correctly, and this can be a big issue on Seven 64 bits. This is the main reason why I had to use Seven 32 bits (changing my pc was not an option at the time I bought my Seven licence).

Ok i will try to solve that first. thanx.

OH yeah I don't love Dell neither.
But did it work with Vista 64, because Vista & W7 should work (almost) the same.
But most PC does have 2 USB slots in the front of their tower & 4 at the back.
Did you try one of the 4 on the back side?
If it doesn't help, I would say, maybe you should install & another OS besides W7 64-bit

cant change my work PC... I only use linux at home so I have 0 problem.

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 ROM using Vbox?

Hi all,
Sorry if this has already been covered.
Can anyone tell me if they have sucessfully installed a new ROM when running Windows through Virtualbox? My current OS is Ubuntu and from what i have read there are only limited sync functions with Linux.
Also can i install a ROM on a sim locked handset? My handset is in Orange UK, and i plan on keeping the Orange SIM in it. The only other handset i installed a ROM on was a vanilla TYTN so sim lock wasn't an issue.
Thanks in advance
GF

Yes , I've mate bit in different setup i have Vista 64bit so i can't use it flash my TOuch HD so i used my vmware xp to flash my phone and it work fine
so i hope is should for virtual box too
If ActiveSync works in your virtual environment, then it should go smoothly. You can also flash your TouchHd without vbox. Just copy (in massive storage device mode which ubuntu should recognize straight away) blacimg.nbh on the memory card and restart phone pressing vol down button.
i think it should work

Yes. If you run HardSPL or USPL you can install pretty much any cooked rom currently available to your phone. This bypasses all that locking crap

Why can't you use Vista 64bit to flash? Mine works perfectly.
Thanks for all your help. I've installed ActiveSync (WMDC) on the the Windows 7 beta but can't get it to recognise my handset through vBox. Possibly a Win7 issue or just my set up. I'll create a Vista box and try that.
@ Sidewinder - Can you run the HardSPL from flash or does it need ActiveSync?
Thanks again
I want to bring up the old topic because I have problems attaching my Touch HD to VirtualBox guest OS.
My host OS is Windows 7 and guest OS - Windows XP SP3.
HTC storage works pretty well I I'm selecting Disk Drive after connecting my device to PC.
ActiveSync also works well in my VBox. In that case I'm selecting Devices-> USB Devices -> Generic NDIS. The phone disappears from Host OS and appears in VirtualBox. Active Sync recognizes it and everything's OK.
But if I want to flash my phone I need to press vol down and then power on. After doing that I'm connecting my phone to PC. Host OS recognizes it as Qualcomm device. Serial changes to USB on my phone.
And then I'm trying to add that new USB device called "Qualcomm .. something" to vbox. When I'm doing it - vbox guest OS screen freezes and nothing happens.
Any ideas how to solve that? Do I need to install HTC drivers (modified drivers) for my Windows 7 host OS?

My PC is now mine. It is in domain and controlled by AD and GPO and bitlocker is ON. So I can't press F8 during boot to select "disable driver signatures". So the only option - flash it from Virtual machine in my case. Unless flash it from SD card (which I don't like).

Windows 7 ROM flashing

My first question...does anyone have a proven method to flash their wizard using Windows 7? Next question...how would one go about the process of making this achievable in Windows 7? Thanks in advance, and any help is appreciated!
have you tried using the vista technique?
yeah...it failed..oh well, retail windows 7 releases in about a week sooo hello xp virtualization mode!
xp virtualization mode have been available for download for a while though even if it's the RC version

Wow....thanks Rudegar...i feel REALLY stupid now...lol
Will it works if i'm runing windows 7 64bit? I'm talking about the xp mode.
Yes sir...just download xp mode and presto! You will have to mount your wizard and then remount it when the RUU is updating it...FYI
thnx for the information. but my laptop doen't suport wirtualization mode. what to do....!!!!
I doubt there is anything you can do except to buy XP.....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116511&cm_re=windows_xp-_-32-116-511-_-Product its not TOO expensive now that Windows 7 is out but...thats all i can think of....
My PC does support the virtualization mode, so I'm fine there. But after installing active-sync I connect my Wizard and nothing happens. Activesync doesn't start automatically, the Wizard is nog recognized. Same thing when I try to connect manually: device not found...
//EDIT: Nevermind: I have two other PC's in my household that really run on XP...

[HELP]Zune recognize,pc does not,even in bootloader,please help with usb3 drivers :)

I have buy my hd7 in france,flashed already with a new rom 1.60 on xda,i know what todo in most of the cases,i have tryed bootloader but when i plugin usb he does not reconize my device,also the double fail sound play when i plugin?

I have always error 260 when i try to flash a rom ,why the rest is working properly?
I got the same as you on my work laptop but not on my home one, both have win7 64bits. Only difference between the 2 is that I've upgraded my work laptop to Win7 SP1 which just came out.
So my question is, have you also upgraded to win7 sp1? I think it might be the problem, I'm anyway planning a clean install of my work laptop this week-end with SP1 and will post the results afterwards to see if it's related to that upgrade.

im pretty shure we need to change some drivers because it's working well on my other pc win7 x86 insteed of x64 where it is not working....
i really need a solution guys
the service pack 1 was not installed and it was not working also so you have to try,i have tried and not working
i think i need drivers for usb3 because my laptop is usb3,does someone know if there are some drivers for usb3 so i can recognize my device when plugin.
THX
So, after reinstalling my laptop (win7SP1- 64 bits) I wasn't still able to flash anything, and I saw that by going to the bootloader, Windows was trying to load qualcomm cdma drivers. And it popped out into my mind, I had removed WMDC, thinking I wouldn't need it anymore.
So by reinstalling WDMC (windows mobile device center), it installed again the needed drivers for the pone to be recognised into the bootloader, and voilĂ , working again.
Hope this will help you out too.

maybe installing mobile device center for win7 or activesync for XP
i have windows 7 64 bits and i have mobile device center 6.1 instaled and still the same, i can connect to the phone when is on in windows mobile, but when i switch to the tri color bootloader windows doesn't recognise him... it may work if i tray to force the driver from the windows (selecting manualy from windows drive center)?
p.s. i want to do a task29 but the program doesn't find my phone after it's boot in tri color bootloader
I have the same problem. You use NAND Android before WinMob? I think the problem in this!
no, i haven't use(it had the original rom), but i have manage to istal android on my x1 without task29 and it's run ok on it
the easiest solution is to use the windows 7 update driver search
plug your phone
go to boot menu (three colors menu)
the windows will try to recognize the driver but it will give u red x
just hit obtain driver from windows update center
