http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
My problem is i can flash my hermes but not my wizard.
I get MFC application has stopped working.
Anyone point me to why this is happening as when i've searched the results point to doing the above?
Bump
Just a quick bump see if i get lucky?
Im using Windows Server 2008 64bit so vista modem drivers n stuff are no go.I know how manually select the drivers, but windows just says they are incompatible (INCOMPATIBLE, not up-to-date or anything else - windows just says they perhaps arent good for x64 etc even for the 64bit ones).
So here is what i done and what WILL WORK ON ANY SYSTEM - from win 2000 to win server 2008 64bit or windows 7 beta or whatever your using.
Install vmware (i used VMware Workstation 6.0.4 Build 93057)
Install WinXP-SP2/3 on it
make sure the usb device is selected on the top of the vmplayer.
install activesync, sync the phone.
install .NET FRAMEWORK 2.0 OR NEWER
start the ruu wrapper
flash & enjoy.
no need for crappy drivers, just install vmware, flash, uninstall vmware.thats all.

hello!
i just installed a fresh new copy of Windows Vista x86 Build 5600 and I've realized that Windows Mobile Device Center isn't installed.
I've searched and at Microsoft I've downloaded a file: drvupdate-x86.msi which appears on Control Panel as Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update!
Well, It's not the program, is it??? I instalde Driver Update but I don't seem to install the Program at all!
I've searched on XDA and I've found some tips, which I've tried with no result!
Add Key to registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft named WHOS. it's supposed when I plug USB cable to PC and Universal, appear on Windows upgrade saying there is a new upgrade available. Doesnt appear!
I've seen a topic saying:
"...Yes I have it working with both USB / BT :=)
Try this procedure.
1. Download this file.
http://www.download.windowsupdate.co...bc9 4587a.exe
2. Extract it using winrar.This will give you a file "wmupdate.msi"
3. Now be sure to logon to Vista as the built in admin and run "wmupdate.msi" and after that reboot and again login as built in admin, let it complete the install.
4.Login as your regular user, connect you phone and all should work:=)"
Downloaded the file and done all right but I dont seam to make it work!
I've ONCE installed WMDC with no errors but the device appeared "NOT CONNECTED".
Now, after a NEW fresh instalation, I cant even install WMDc!
Please help!
I would like to keep vista installed, but without sync there's no way!!!!

Ok i just got a new laptop which is loaded with the new (but crappy) microsoft vista operating system. first off let me say this, vista is an ultra headache to deal with! i dont recommend anyone using this operating system, unbuntu (linux) is way easier than vista.
anyways, back to where i was going.... my other laptop, which is loaded with windows xp, succesfully installed the usb modem drivers for the apache 6700. but whenever i try to install the same exact driver on my new laptop it says "windows cannot find the specified file"! i pointed the driver file , .inf, to the correct directory and everything. i downloaded another dialer and driver file and put it on the desktop, still windows cannot find the file even though i point windows to it (cot damn vista!).
this leads me to believe that this driver file does not work under vista. can anyone else confirm this or tell me what im doing wrong? i tried many different ways of install the driver, but vista fails. please, can anyone help me?
no body huh?
vista and dun
i too have the same problem with vista... i have read and tried several "solutions" to this but none have worked for me- my computer keeps installing a treo driver which doesnt work- funny part is i can do a BT DUN @ about 115.2kbps but if i push it too hard the phone freezes... i have been thinking about installing xp on my brand new laptop that came with vista.
Anyone figure out how to install USB drivers on Vista, mines also installs Treo Drivers on its own i can't stop it from doing that, any insight?
I am using a PPCGeeks Rom (LennySH i think) and it has an application called internet sharing. When connected with my Vista laptop the laptop uses it automatically for internet no additional drivers needed.
It also has a bluetooth setting that Vista will use to connect to a "personal area network" and your online without the cable. However the usb connection is faster.

**using Helmi not LennySH
I have a PDA2k which I flashed to Rom Version 5.60.00 WWE, with Radio Version 1.12.00.
I am running Windows Vista Ultimate x64 and the Mobile Device Center recognizes my device as a BlueAngel.
When I try to update the drivers of my mobile device, I get the message:
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing.(Code 39)" I have followed the instructions from the wiki and I am trying with the x64 drivers.
I have also tried upgrading, to see what happens and the upgrade utility comes up with the error message: "Error 150: Rom Upgrade Utility Error"
"This ROM upgrade utility does not design for your device. Please get proper ROM upgrade utility and try again"
Has anyone managed to upgrade with Vista x64 or will I have to use XP?
Thanks
George
BTW I have disabled driver signing on Vista
I have the same problem, and is because the Windows x64 don't use unsigned drivers, so the drivers in the wiki are useless; and if you want to upgrade your device, the only option is make it with a Vista x32 or with a XP.
(I didn't find other solution)
Bye
I thought that the x64 drivers are ok. Have you tried some other driver source than the wiki?
I have tried the x64 drivers from the wiki and also drivers I found after a search in the forums. I guess if we could find signed drivers it would work but for know, I have used my laptop with Vista Home Premium x32 and after 5-6 minutes it was done.
Thanks for the support guys
I'm using windows 7 and wanted to change ROM, i was wondering if the .net 3.5 thats recommended and needed for the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex has any complications or if indeed is need at all?
can't comment on the tool you talk about
but win7 is the first windows that comes
with .net 3.5 installed from the start
I tried to flash my mobile from a Vista PC and I got problems with it.
So I went into the basement and used my old XP Computer.
And it worked flawlessly
Maybe Windows 7 works better, but I don't think so. Just try it and install .NET 3.5 and start RUU.
If it doesn't work, you got to look for a XP Computer

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Maybe you had to install the cracked drivers (youwe got 64 and 32bit version), sometimes you need to disable the USB connection under WMdevice Center, put the device in bootloader and then run RUU update.
Argh sorry, totally forgot to mention that.
But I had tried (nearly) everything:
Flashing without changes in Vista (just WMDC installed)
disabled/enabled "allow USB connections"
normal/cracked drivers
...
So if somebody know what's wrong, please tell me ^^
If your using USPL you will need to update the HTC USB drivers as it will not detect the device, if you have flashed the hard SLP then you needed worry, it works fine, even in Windows 7, 32 and 64 bit
HSPL didn't work with my 32bit Vista, even not after updating the drivers
But that's Windows: Sometimes it works, most time it doesn't
Put HSPL from friends PC and than @ home just do upgrades via SD card
Thanks guys, some good info there, i'm liking windows 7 at the moment so will keep tryin to find a way to the HSPL, tried that friends option NikPraskaton but he has windows XP and is not detecting the phone anymore
Ive tried searching now for about 2 hours for a fix.
Ive just installed windows 7 x64 pro and i can not get it to work with my HD. It will not recognize it at all. Ive had various problems, always seems different.
Ive tried turning off the enable fast data. This changed the problem, but didnt fix it.
At the moment, i have that enabled and the problem from what i can tell is, in device manager Microsoft Windows Remote Adapter is not working.
If i disable fast data, i get a connecting to host message on my HD screen and nothing else really happens.
Ive tried updating the USB drivers, but that will not work, something to do with unsigned drivers.
Under mobile devices in device manager i get PocketPC USB Sync instead of the HTC usb Sync thing.
Is there a solution for this please?
With me it worked on windows 7x64 straight out of the box. I suggest re-installing win 7.
I'd have to agree, using Windows x64 Professional here and both my Touch HD and my partners work fine (I had to allow Windows to download an updated version of Windows Mobile Device Center first though).
I do not suggest reinstalling Win 7. Geez. Sorry, but that's using an axe to trim a toenail.
Try downloading and reinstall the x64 version of Windows Mobile Device Center. Make sure you get version 6.1. Do not download any driver updates meant for Vista - you don't need them. But this main file will be marked Vista - it includes you too.
Next, it's possible that when you first plugged in the blackstone, a driver install got canceled or didn't happen right. Use your hardware manager and look for any new generic devices or HID devices. You can try deleting the hardware from the list and asking device manager to look again.
MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER.
Good luck.
Installed windows 7 last week.... i mainly use this pc at home and at work i use XP.
Anyway just connected it now to my notebook and after some driver downloads from windows the phone works fine...
make sure u download the latest mobile device center.
I had the same with my Topaz and windows 7. The fix was to disable the windows firewall while syncing.
This solved my sync problems with Windows 7 ultimate x64
Open notepad
write the text : net localgroup Administrators LocalService /add
save the file as e.g. HTC.bat somewhere on your hard drive where you can find it
Locate with Windows Explorer the .Bat file you just edited
Rightclick on the bat fil
select "run as administrator"
restart your computer. Your HTCH Touch HD should connect without problems
