ROM Update with Vista, any possibility?

Hello,
since a couple of days I try to upgrade my Trinity with a new Rom, but I have no chance. I get this message Erros 260:Connection , so do somebody know how I can flash my Rom under Vista?It would be very nice, thanks a lot!

turn off usb-connection in windows mobile device center, and try again!
if it doesn't work, try "des bootloader", start it and try to flash again.
perhaps you need activesync 4 drivers for your device, i found them somewhere in this board
good luck

thanks a lot, where can I find the active sync drivers, I searched but I found nothing, anybody an idea?

Vista in my eyes is almost perfect - never had any issue!
- using three external hard drives without any problem
- syncing with my Wizard (of course WMDC doesn't "store" contacts, it just syncs them with an Exchange server or Outlook - and it does it even better than ActiveSync)
- and all other stuff I did previously with XP (except ROM upgrading of my Wizard - but that's not a problem of Vista as there are already upgrade tools, we just don't have them so far cause no operator released any upgrade recently or the gurus here haven't been able to hack it to accept custom ROMs)

Hey can you tell me how to make my version of wmdc do what you say your does? As far as syncing the contacts and setting up my mobile email? I only had vista for about a week now and trying to figure it out; i was so dependant on XP but had to move on. Any help will be appreciated.

Actually there are no "tweaks" to make it do what is is supposed to do - it did it straight away! I have no idea where you have problems - WMDC has exactly the same functionality (and some additions to AS) and same options, just different interface. Just go to "mobile device settings" or whatever it is called (I am using the German version) and set it up to sync whatever you want to sync...
If it doesn't work try to delete the partnership and set up a new one...

Any of you guys try this?

LINK Phone Data Manager. Microsoft.
EDIT:
If your phone has a Windows Mobile Operating system, in general, Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta will work with it; please note that for Windows Mobile phones, Microsoft Phone Data Manager Beta will work only via a USB data cable connection.

The Touch Diamond is a smart phone....
Just installed it, backing up files now. Seems to work fine.
Though I prefer syncing contacts with outlook instead of Windows Live.

The main problem with this is that there is no way to manage the contacts unless you use Hotmail as your email provider. This is an issue I've been trying to get MS to change for ages.

i just hope PPCPimBackup still works with the Diamond. i dont see why not since my mogul is running WM6.1 too.
great program and incredibly easy to use

PPCPimBackup is what I use, it works just as well on the Diamond!

[Q] Xperia destroyed!

I dropped it into the see, repair costs more then 2 new phones. I really liked the phone, and have two questions:
a) I've backup-ed my data with PIM Backup and sprite backup. Can I recover data for use with some other OS?
b) I wanted to get into mobile OS application development. Android is something I could transition easily because I've done java in the past, but windows 7 seems interesting as well. Windows 6.5.3 seems the thing of the past in that regard, so I'm not sure should I buy another used xperia, or go with different handset with different OS. Any suggestions?

About your Question bullet a.
I don't think there's an easy way to do that. I mean there's no specific application (that I know) able to do that.
But I can give two solution here.
1. Borrow your friend's WM.
Restore the PIM to that WM, then move 'em to ms outlook (using Windows Computer, of course!)
then using your OEM Android phone suit to move them to your android.
2. If you have no other WM (or your friend's WM can't be borrowed)
- Download Windows Mobile Emulator @ microsoft website (googling please)
- your backed up PIM should be restore using this EMU and then connect your emu to outlook through WMDC
- move the PIM back to android using your OEM's PC suit
The problem is in my case there's no option to restore SMS nor MMS. so...
For SMS, you may use SMS migrator.
SMS Migrator is a suite of tools that allows you to migrate your SMS Inbox and Sent Items from Windows Mobile to Android.
You may read the instuctions by Paul from MoDaCo for android (fortunately I bookmarked the link)
http://android.modaco.com/content/software/288916/windows-mobile-sms-migrator-beta-1/
But the instruction is not absolute success. I don't know the reason why. But it's fail on my Galaxy S but I'm not sure on my sold Milestone.
About your Q in bullet b, I don't get it. I'm not a programmer.
Hope this help.

thanks
You were very detailed! Thanks a bunch!

Apps!...do we all need to have PC?

Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

I presume you can email yourself a xap program and install it that way, otherwise, you need a pc or marketplace.

Yes, use a Mac or Hackintosh instead, lol

so.... after all windows 6.5 is more versatile, I miss it badly.
Thanks

Wont work says no file association what you click it. Tried it awhile ago.
If I knew more about programming Id be looking into it myself. Obviously wp7 has the ability since during some initial flashes of wp7 the last screen installs app. I assume those are the HTC apps that have the certificate with it but its still an xap. So can we make certificates to allow us to install third party apps on first boot. Or can we somehow use the files used in the initial setup to associate xap files so they will install when clicked.
Could be just a pipe dream but if I had more time Id look in the registry and files dumped from part04.bin to figure out what is ran at the end of setup.

[Q] XBACKUP

Hi,
l've been using XBackup on my XDA IIi for years now.
Having moved over to HTC HD l would like to transfer my thousands of sms and favorites to my HTC. It is a big deal. l have tried downloading XBackup to my HTC but to no avail as it seems to be an Android App.
Does anyone know how to get XBackup onto a HTC HD?
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks.

No I'm afraid its not possible.....there's no way currently to backup sms from android to wp7 :/

Thanks for the reply. I think there's some confusion. I don't want to transfer from Android to W7. I merely need XBackup on a HTC HD.
Thanks.

currently there is no way to backup sms from a stock rom....u need to have atleast one kind of unlock....then you can backup sms
