Hi All,
I was trying to install Win 7 on my HTC Shift using the USB disk method. The installation goes well until it get to the last step configuring windows or your machine.... then it gives me an error, Installer was unable to configure windows to run on your hardware restart installation.
Any ideas why is that or how it can be resolved?
Thanks
There's the RTM version now available, check for Hash to be sure it's the real deal, and use the same install instructions. I recommed you use Windows Update before drivers, then install what is left because there's some new drivers like Authentec TrueSuite which is only downloadable through manufacturers. All works

That's because AERO doesn't run at the moment at screen resolutions higher than 800*600.
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)
Keep getting this message in Command Prompt when trying to install CM9 on my touchpad.
Yes I have cd to the right directory in command prompt
Yes it does show up in Device manager as Palm Novacom (bootie) under the tab Palm Novacom Modules.
Yes drivers are installed
Yes I did re install all drivers after removing them.
Tried different USB cables
Will not show up in Adb either.
My computer does recognize it, in both WebOS Recovery mode, and in Mass storage mode.
What does this message mean? Am I missing something?
Appreciate any help.
Thank you.
Edit: Solved!
Thanks to Scifan on IRC for his help!
I've got the same exact issue... i have a feeling it has something to do with win 7 64bit, im seeing alot of people with the same issue with that setup.
Reinstall novacom using this this installer
http://universal-novacom-installer.googlecode.com/files/UniversalNovacomInstaller.jar
Than in your type this (services.msc) in your windows start bar. Look for Palm Novacom in the services.
If its not there, try installing novacom drivers again while looking at the services menu. It worked for me like that, not sure why. But this was my problem.
I had reinstalled novecom drivers a few times trying to get it to work, and that some how did the trick for me. Was pretty weird.
My net book is running windows 7 32bit. Dont know if 64bit is going to have problems as I cannot test.
Good luck!
Yesterday i had a problem with a Win XP computer where the ADB driver just didn't want to install. The worst part was that on that particular PC it worked correctly some time ago.
After a lot of digging around I've found out that the problem was that somehow the "WDF01005" (which is actually "Microsoft Kernel-Mode Driver Framework Feature Pack 1.5", on some sites it was listed as "KMDF Coinstaller 1.5") was not installed. Of course, searching the net for it didn't get me any closer to a solution.
Anyways, to make a long story short, i managed to fix it by creating the uninstall registry entry for it, it seems that i did have it installed (or maybe i had a newer version installed) all along just that the reg-entry got deleted.
Here's the reg file :
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005]
"SystemComponent"=dword:00000001
(just save it into "fix_wdf01005.reg" and double click it to install it with Regedit, or you can add the key manually and add a DWORD value with the name "SystemComponent" and value of 1.)
So, if you ever get the error that Windows XP cannot install the "Android Platform Sooner Single ADB Interface" driver then you might want to see if you have the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Wdf01005" key as it is used by the driver installation and if it's missing then it fails and the driver is not installed.
I hope it helps others too,
P.S. i just tested, it worked for my Samsung phone too, it also failed to install the Android ADB driver and thus the ADB command said "error : device not found", now it worked correctly, it even found the drivers it needed through Windows Update so i didn't have to install anything manually.
Thank you so much! This worked like a charm!
My Windows XP used to work with adb, now it fails to install it.
Then I read this thread and now adb is working happily on my Samsung Galaxy Gio!
Thanks!
Thanks man.
you really helps me a lot.
[sorry for bad english]
instructions for domies...
Can you tell me exactly how do that, please? I'm having the same issue. The file doesn't exist in my registry. How do I get it?
Thanks. You're a blessing.
hi i have not problem with installation in my windowx xp...but its takes too long...i think some time 10 to 20 mins..so is there any way to install adb driver installation fast...plz suggest me solution...thnks and advance
I only use the Touchpad very infrequently, the last version update was Android 5.0.2 and I now want to update it to Android 9 and am coming across a problem.
I have got all the files downloaded and am trying to reinstall the Novacom driver. I want to make sure I have everything in place as its been a while since the 5 update.
I'm running Windows 10 64 bit on an HP PC, the same PC that I did the Android 5 install from.
I run the Novacom installer Novacominstaller_x64.msi the Windows installer comes up and I select to run it and then off it goes but no splash screen to say competed or failed or anything
I then go to run TP toolbox v42 and get the following message "cannot find novacom service. Try rebooting or re-installing novacom." and I have tried both so am now stuck.
Probably something very simple but out of my scope.
Thanks in advance
