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?

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)

Flash htc tnty with mac

Hi,
New here i need some help. I've been told it's possible here to get info to flash HTC: i'm lost ; I tried but had problems: i have a mac and it seems to be different way to do.
Could someone help me?
THKS

Would you be able to run the windows apps needed through WINE? I dont know if they would have issues with hardware communication etc but migh be worth looking into.

Unfortunately it is not possible to flash with OS X. I have an Intel Mac running Bootcamp with Leopard and Windows XP. I flash my phone after re-booting into Windows XP.

Flash a new ROM on Windows 7

Hello,
I want to flash a new ROM to my Kaiser, and I have Windows 7 on my desktop.
Is there a problem with flashing with Windows 7?
Thanks in advance!

No problem whatsoever as long as your drivers are up to date and you flash as administrator. And make sure it's HardSPL'd.

I have been able to do it on Windows 7 32-bit without any problems. The only thing I can say is to make sure that you have the Windows Mobile Pack installed (I think there is a link on this site for the driver pack).

Thanks! Just wanted to make sure there is no problem with it.

No problems with Windows 7 64-bit either

X1a +Windows 7 X64 + Windows Mobile Center

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.
