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

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)
hello people,
i've installed windows xp sp2 with a step by step guide on xda (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436982) without problems.
At the end, when we have to install wlan drivers, i've noticed that marvell sdio sd8686 appear in the hardware list but there is also a yellow ! on this hardware with the error code number 10, windows cannot start hardware.
I've tried with some other drivers that i found on internet but with the same results. Someone can help me?

Hi en_ky!
I was following the other installation method "Installing Windows XP with Windows Post Install (WPI)" that you can find on this forum, but basically should be the same.
Anyway, regarding WLAN on the WPI method it says:
"13. WLAN: Drivers are copied to c:\wlandrivers, install from there when you are asked for them later". This step is just before installing CYGWIN
After finishing with SwapResolution,
"Now it usually asks about the WLAN drivers, see step nr. 13."
"If it asks about drivers for Windows Mobile, just answer yes until it finishes."
"To get Wifi working, you have to copy the "copy HTC Shift XP Drivers\WLAN\sdbus.sys to c:\windows\system32\drivers\ say yes to the replace dialog and reboot."
"DO THIS IN SAFE MODE ONLY. This is how I got mine to work. I had the same problem with the yellow and not working wifi code 10 in the device manager."
"If you copy this without being in safe mode, it will not work because after the reboot the system will replace the overridden version with the old one again."
So check again all the steps and do the last one in Safe Mode (I think here is your problem)!
Good luck!
thank you for your reply,
I tried to resolve my problem with help of windows update and an eterneth connection for internet. At first it doesn't start with the same yellow ! But after a restart, it starts!!!!
Many thanks to you in any case; i know that your answer will be usefull for another person with this problem!
Windows 10 Windows Technical Preview is available for more than a week. Since i have an extra old 40gb hdd for the shift, i decided to give it a try, and i can say that it works perfectly well. Everything works including touchscreen, wifi, bluetooth, modem, etc.
However installing the drivers may be a little tricky. Here are the steps:
1. Download Windows Technical Preview from microsoft website (download the x86 version)
2. Extract the .iso file to a usb stick (i used power iso to do that)
3. Plug the stick to the shift and boot from it
4. Follow on screen instruction to install windows
5. When done copy the drivers for the shift (you have the download link bellow the video ) to a stick
6. First install "VistaECDrvV" in compatibility with windows vista (right click on the file - properties - compatibilty tab- run this program in compatibility mode for: - select windows vista (service pack 2) !! do that for all of the drivers) - restart later
7. Install "TouchScreen"
After installing touch screen driver the touch should work - give a restart
8. Install "Synaptics MicroPad" - restart later
9. Install "shagctrl" ignore the Microsoft .NET Framework missing error - restart later
10. Install "Marvell Wifi driver" - restart later
11. Press the Win+R key combination and type msconfig in the run box and hit enter - switch over to the boot tab, and click on the Safe Boot check box - select minimal -apply -ok - restart
13. With windows booted in safe mode navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers right click on "sdbus.sys" -> properties -> security -> advanced -> owner TrustedInstaller click on change -> in the field labelled "enter the object name" type your username -> ok -> apply -> ok -> now back on security tab edit permissions -> click on users -> check all boxes from "permissions for users" tab on allow -> apply -> yes -> ok. Now delete "sdbus.sys"
14. Copy the "sdbus.sys" from the archive that i attached here to C:\Windows\System32\drivers
15. Press the Win+R key combination againg and type msconfig in the run box and hit enter - switch over to the boot tab, and unthick the Safe Boot check box - apply -ok - restart
16. You should have wifi working now - If you cannot find any wifi networks, as it was in my case, go to device manager - right click on the "Marvell sd8686 Wireless LAN SDIO Adapter" (the one without the exclamation mark if you have two) - properties - advanced - from the property box select 802.11D support - on the value box value box select enable. Your wifi should work ok now.
17. Install the "sherry driver 1.3" for the best performance of the video card.
18. That's it! enjoy
What i like most about windows 10 is that it have a "card view" of the running apps just like maemo 5 on noka n900, or the blackberry 10 os. Overall it runs a little better than windows 7 and similar with windows 8.1.
Maybe i will install it as a replacement for windows 8.1 update 1 on the main 120 gb hdd
Here is a small video to see how it runs:

14. Press the Win+R key combination againg and type msconfig in the run box and hit enter - switch over to the boot tab, and unthick the Safe Boot check box - apply -ok - restart
15. When booted in normal mode copy the files from the "wififix" archive, that i attached to C:\Windows\System32\drivers and restart
16. You should have wifi working now - If you cannot find any wifi networks, as it was in my case, go to device manager - right click on the "Marvell sd8686 Wireless LAN SDIO Adapter" (the one without the exclamation mark if you have two) - properties - advanced - from the property box select 802.11D support - on the value box value box select enable.

Excellent how-to. Clear and precise.
For those who want to perform it: taking a look at ryu1's comment in Post#14 is crucial!
You bring shift to future.
Also an interesting Video- as i see you've only 1GB RAM installed, and nevertheless your Shift runs pretty fast-
faster than mine with 2GB and Win7U.
Network connection, connection to SnapVue... i'm really amazed.
How long does it take to boot, and what about GPS?
Think i'll create a new partition on my 128GB SSD and run Win10 from there.
How large do you think should it be?

Well, i'm sure gps work ok (at least on the windows mobile side) but didn't tested on the windows 10 side.
For booting, i'm sure it take less than 1 minute, but don't know the exact time.
If you want to make a partition for win10, that should be at least 10 gb.
It would be really nice to see how it will run on your shift with 2gb of ram.
Please post the result if you install it
Made 20GB... had been frequently suggested for win8
Now taking a look if I've got a spare usb stick.
Maybe I'm missing something here. On my X9500 I can't get by the error about the 800 MHz processor. Maybe you are on a different model?
Same thing occured with win8 if i recall right... early releases worked fine, and later ones also came up with this problem. (It may have been with BenQ MID S6 instead Shift, I'll try to find out.)
Don't know if there had been some workaround.
As MS is continuously working on it, it may depend on the releases' date.
Mine dates october 20th, but i won't be able to test until next weekend.
If ryu1 doesn't have another idea, it may be useful to share the release he uses.
The processor should always be the same.

What error are you talking about? i installed windows 8, then 8.1 and now 10 but never got any error about cpu.
Are you sure you didn't download the 64 bit version?
Win 10 Technical Preview lists as a requirement:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster
Error complained about lower specification.
It was the 32-bit version.
"error" may be the wrong word.
The problem had been discussed in the thread i have linked above.
Again: it may be interesting to know the date of release.

Maybe i've got it...
in your how-to you say "Plug the stick to the Shift and boot from it".
You mean plug it in, start your shift, enter boot options and select usb stick to boot from, right?
I had prepared my usb stick with powerISO, plugged it in, opened my stick in devicemanager and doubleclicked "Install".
And ran into "your device won't be able to run Win10 because of less than 1GHz".
Maybe this was my mistake, and i won't have this problem when booting from stick.
Will report asap.
That's it..
Just do what daddy told us
(And DON'T use windows installer.)
I haven't finished installation completely,
but right now i must say speed is amazing!
As some drivers are automatically installed to volume "C" i think i'll switch the names of C and X
(the partition i'm installing to), reinstall all drivers and then switch back.
edit: obsolete, win has done it by itself
Sorry for the delay, but i am very bussy these days. Anyway the installation mus be done by booting from usb stick, not via installer.
I have allready installed windows 10 on the main hdd instead of windows 8.1. There are a few things i forgot to mention on the first post, when booting into safe mode to delete the "dumpsd" and "sdbus" files you'll need permission to delete them. Just follow this instructions to change the permission: http://www.askvg.com/guide-how-to-take-ownership-permission-of-a-file-or-folder-manually-in-windows/
That's what i just was about to ask you, as i am stuck at this point...
Will try later and report
Tomorrow.
edit: Think you should for your own sake update your initial post, concerning boot process and rightsmanagement.
Further visitors won't follow the whole thread and'll bomb you with questions.

Oh, by error I meant I received an error message when trying to do the install the way I had tried it. I will read the new information posted here, thanks all.
Finished installation yesterday, everything was fine, quick'n'clean when suddenly wifi stopped working.
Marvell shows error code 10 and winupdate seems to have installed a different adapter.
SD adapter same error.
Had a similar experience when i installed win7, but there i already had a restore point to return to,
and since then everything was fine.
Will make a clean reinstallation, and after adding the wififix disable wifi to avoid possible system updates
and create a basic restore point i can return to each time winupdate kills something.
Preview build 9879
Anyone managed to get the latest build to work. Mine gives a message that my display resolution is too low and stops the upgrade.
Shame really as this works very well on the Shift, and with rumours that win 10 could be free it would have been a good o/s for this computer.
Please post code 0f builtversion.
Build 9860
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
