Any of you guys managed to get this to work? Plugged my wizard and picked up as Generic RNDIS, i browsed to the activesync4.1 directory on my xp drive and used the RNDIS driver from there, as windows couldnt see any other, it installed fine, however i get nothing when i plug the wizard in, Windows Mobile Device Center dont pop up. Any ideas guys??
Hi,
Yes I have it working with both USB / BT :=)
Try this procedure.
1. Download this file.
http://www.download.windowsupdate.c..._847432eec73e750d6d8056881f52a39fbc94587a.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:=)

Hi,
I'm running 5472 as well, but the update (from the file name) looks like it's mean for build 5460. Are you sure this is compatible with 5472? I just wanna make sure because I had just reinstalled my OS and don't want to go through the trouble of breaking it Of course, there's always system restore, but it can be a PITA for me sometimes.
tried it but dont seem to work, setup starts then vista picks up a new device, out of interest what does your wizard show up as in device manager? It couldnt auto find a driver, so i browsed to activesync dir and there was loads of MS drivers, also HTC drivers, i tried to choose HTC pocket pc but didnt work, its obviously not the Wizard drive its after as the wizard wasnt even plugged in.

Oh yeah, now I remember... 5472 was being a real pain with my MDA. I can't remember what I did exactly to fix the driver issue, but I believe I just pointed it to the root directory of the CD that came with the phone when it prompted for drivers. Just be persistent with it, and it should finally install
BTW, the file provided above works! It does install an older build of WMDC, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. The build provided with 5472 only works if you choose "quick connect", instead of establishing a partnership.

I had the Start CD that came with the device put in and it found the drivers needed from that auto.
And sure enough the provided file is for an older build but for me at least it does work.
And it shows up as "your username Windows Mobile-based device" in WIndows Explorer..see attached snapshot"

Oh I just looked at my initial reply and one thing I forgot to mention
I had to run the wmupdate.msi i file from a command prompt, and that also had to be started with administrator priviliges.

Hi all.
This is another method for installing windows XP on the Shift. It uses WPI (Windows Post Install) for running every installation in sequence, so it should be easier for everybody.
Most steps have been simplified, so hopefully you only have to press a lot of buttons, and you'll end with an almost perfect XP installation.
Download this:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca737a/n/WPI_exe
Follow these steps:
1.- Install Windows XP Tablet, or plain Windows XP and use the TabletPCPatch. Take out SD card.
2.- Execute WPI.exe, decompress to C: (type c: and enter)
3.- Execute c:\WPI\wpi.hta
4.- In the applications list that appears, select OmniPass if you wan to use the fingerprint reader and ActiveSync, then click on "Begin Install"
5.- Chipset: next, yes, next, next, finish with reboot.
6.- VGA: next, next, yes, next, next, finish with reboot. Add resolution to registry, yes, yes.
7.- EC Driver: next, finish.
8.- TouchScreen: next, next.
Next and follow trough the three windows of "new hardware found", before rebooting!. Finish with reboot the Touch Screen Driver.
9.- TouchPad: next, next, next, finish with reboot.
10.- FingerPrint: next, accept, next, next, next, install, finish.
11.- Audio: press any key, next, DON'T REBOOT, finish, press any key.
12.- USB Lan: finish.
13.- WLAN: Drivers are copied to c:\wlandrivers, install from there when you are asked for them later.
14.- CYGWIN: next, "install from local directory", next, next, next, click the + sign next to "devel" and click on the word "skip" of the line "ioperm" so that "0.4-1" appears, next, deselect both icons creation, finish.
15.- HSECT: nothing to do here.
16.- BAT Files: Add batfiles to registry, yes, Ok.
17.- Astray: nothing to do here.
18.- SwapResolution: Add swapResolution to registry, yes, Ok.
Let it reboot after 20 seconds.
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.
Thanks to DeVictoria for the SwapResolution and the rest of you for adding comments.
Thanks for the step-by-step guide dproldan
Hi! Thank you very much for this post!!!
Just an information... Where can I find Windows Xp Tablet???
I have no external cdrom, can I run the installation of Windows Xp Tablet from USB key? How can I do???
Sorry but I'm at a very low level!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Beppe
I cant manage how to run BT/WF.
Its just doesent work. Cygwin seems to be ok, but when i want to run HSECT it shows that some dll is missing, or just disappearing.
I've managed how to install and run bluetooth correctly, but i cant install drivers for Wi-Fi.
"Device cannot start (CODE 10)"
Same stuff with sound. I have only Bluetooth Sound, nothing more.
And i cannot switch to SnapVue.
hi, i install windows xp tablet Pc edition 2005 english version,
step and step follow the new method for installing xp ,
it's ok but wifi ,
in device manager ,marvell sd8686wireless LAN SDIO Adapter #3 is yellow mark, and i can't use it ,
some thing wrong with me?
how can i star up the wifi for internet?
Thanks for the WinXP easy install process. I got everything working trying this package.
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 in safe mode, it will not work because after the reboot the system will replace the overided version with the old one again.
thatboyp
'
yes..u re rite.. but in normal windows mode...the sdbus.sys also can be moved.
the overwrite sdbus.sys make the SD card SDHC no functioning.
on the contrary, if i update the sdio driver ...i mean overwrite the sdbus.sys the SDHC card 4g above will work but the wifi lan will not work.
we gona have the driver which works with these two functions
This automated driver installation is great help & instructions are very clear.
Many thanks to dproldan for all the hard work and excellent finish.
However, i had big issues to get wi-fi work but in the end removing the battery and then after that running turn WF on helped.
MAYBE REMOVING BATTERY HELPS WITH WI-FI ISSUE !!
i don't know if this helps but maybe next time:
- check in Vista that wi-fi is turned on
- do all the installing
- if wi-fi not working: remove battery and put it back
- then run WF on
- marvel appeared in device manager with yellow exclamation
- upgrade drivers from c:\wlandrivers
hth
Hallo,
thats perfect. Many Many thanks.
I've finally installed XP using the above WPI method which is fantastic - Many thanks for everyone's effort on it. I was very surprised that both BT and WiFi worked with no extra input or fiddling from me YAY!
BUT my touchscreen wouldn't work as the TabletPC patch doesn't self install and the instructions didn't state this. Luckily I found instructions elsewhere (it unzips to c:/temp and you have to manually run step1 and step2 the reboot) and now it's all working and super speedy compared to Vista.
Has anybody succeeded activating like all chipsets when going with Windows XP Tablet PC SP3 ?
as far as I know using XP involves the following inconvenience:
1. the touchscreen need a tweak in deactivating a HID driver to fully work (working to remove that)
2. making the WiFi work disables the SD Card port => if WiFi then no_SDcard !BIG PROBLEM! (solved by going to sleep then start up - original files, don't replace anything)
3. 800x480 resolution only => can't find any program to make "see" all resolution BUT " MultiRes " could change IF would be available ! !QUITE BIG PROBLEM! (working on it)
4. no native portrait look => try " iRotate " to rotate
5. can't program right upper buttons for exec'ing needed commands (such a Control Panel) (working on it - think I found something)
? I tend to use the latest available drivers, not the ones available on HTC, keeping updated is one of my fixed ideas
I tried Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows XP TabletPC 2005 SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7... I recommend Windows XP TabletPC 2005 SP3 for advanced users and Windows 7 for the world ON HTC SHIFT, not for pc or else...
If someone has any good and updated instructions set for installing Windows XP TabletPC 2005 SP3... please let me know, the genuine part I have already taken care of, I'm talking more about the drivers and all of that for all to work well, and I need XP for development, Windows 7 is not ready to be low-level programmed and is not suitable for me.
I'm not saying XP is better, I run Windows 7 on my main desktop because is quite powerfull and there's nothing I can't do on it, BUT I need XP for my beautifull Shift, it do think it more suitable
UPDATE ! After I installed Windows XP Tablet PC 2005 SP3, did Windows Update, restart... and discovered a bug wich allows us to use the WiFi without modifying no file, just go to sleep-mode and then start the device, all chipsets are going ok, I'm using a 16GB SDHC Silicon card, using wireless, bluetooth and all what I need... NO hacking required, looks like there's a exploit in power management's sleep mode... that's better for me, for now at least than giving up to SDslot for WiFi... so sleep -> wake, and you're ON !
Update 2: given up and going for Windows 7 which really makes a difference for touchscreen use

Hi Samstables,
I strongly need your help here for installing the TabletPC patch on WinXP.
I followed your steps for installing the TabletPC patch and I did not manage to have the Input Panel working. I can see it while booting Windows but I cannot call it from the taskbar icon.
In the above post you mentioned Step 1 and Step 2, then reboot and so I did it. What about step 3?
What is the size of the patch you used, it's important to know as I might have downloaded a damaged patch.
tanks tanks tanks!
Very good, but i have a problem:
if i reeboot then i don't have wifi.
I must remove from device manager the sdio card reader and then refresh the wifi and the card running.
PS: excuse me for my english
WPI_exe file no longer exist
Hi all,

It is important to note that I can not install the software again even though she once worked for me but I deleted it and now I'm trying to install again it will not let me ...
I tried everything but really everything I could not fix it,
Must help please ....

Hi ZinGale,
On your PC, try and locate this folder:
C:\Windows\WindowsMobile\setup.exe
Try running setup from there and see if that helps.
Alternatively, if you are using a CD then try copying the whole of its contents into the directory C:\Windows\WindowsMobile. Then double click the green circular icon called Setup. Be patient while the program installs. Restart your PC and see if ths works.
Regards.
its not work =\ anyone?

Make sure you have uninstalled Windows Mobile Device Center properly, you can try the following steps:
(1) Open the Start menu.
(2) Click Control Panel.
(3) Click on Uninstall or Change a Program.
(4) Select Windows Mobile Device Center from the program list and click Uninstall.
(5) Select Windows Mobile Device Center Driver Update from the program list and click Uninstall.
Try to reinstall again but this time, disable your Firewall and Anti-virus software, re-enable them after the installation of WMDC is complete.
Are you running a 32-bit version of Windows 7?
Try checking Device Manager also in order to make sure the USB drivers have been properly removed.
(1) Go to Device Manager and remove the device if shown (collapse the Windows CE USB Devices option, right-click on PocketPC USB Sync and select Uninstall).
(2) Disable the Windows Firewall. Disable any other firewalls too.
(3) Try connecting your HD to the PC via your USB cable and check whether Windows will automatically install the drivers for Windows Mobile Device Center from its list of drivers.
(4) After installation, re-enable the firewall and try syncing.
Regards.
I've tried using WMDC however each time I connect the device, I get an unknown device warning and it won't recognize the device.
I've read about similar issues with Vista and WMDC however, upon trying what was discussed in those threads, I am still not having luck. Is there an unknown driver that I don't know about or is there something else going on. I can't get any of the data off my device until I can sync it...
Any help would be appreciated
Make sure you have Windows Update allowed to search for drivers.
You do this by :
1. Click Start, then right click upon Computer and select properties.
2. You should now have the system control panel options. On the left pane, select Advanced system settings.
3. On the new window click the hardware tab.
4. Now click Device Installation Settings.
5. On the new window make sure the Yes, do this automatically (recommended) box is bulleted.
You may need to turn off the advanced network functionality for Windows 7 x64. (I recommend for x64, Windows 7 32bit works fine from my experience)
To do so on your Hermes :
1. Tap start and select settings.
2. Along the bottom there is Personal, System and Connections. Select Connections.
3. In the connections tab, tap USB to PC.
4. Now remove the tick from the box and tap ok.
I've done everything on the list short of turning off advanced functionality in win7...as I'm not sure what setting you are referring to.
It can see there is a device there, but it doesn't know what it is and keeps looking for a driver that it doesn't have.
Then, turn off the advanced functionality. It should find it, Windows 7 x64 has trouble installing the RNDIS driver for some reason.
1. Tap start and select settings.
2. Along the bottom there is Personal, System and Connections. Select Connections.
3. In the connections tab, tap USB to PC.
4. Now remove the tick from the box and tap ok.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(The box should say Enable advanced network functionality, clear that box.)
NOTE : All on the phone itself.
If you need, I will post pictures showing the whole process.
tried everything described here. this is Windows 7 Ultimate X64. It did automatically instal WMDC, but cannot for the life of it install drivers for the device.
Not from Windows Update, not from anywhere. Am I missing something?
Hi,
my new Win7 premium home (64bit) PC can't connect with my HD2 (stock rom). Driver install always ends with a access denied. Outlook is 2007.
In the past I had no (only few) problems with XP(SP3) and Outlook 2003 and my hd2 and my X1.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the whole win mob sw several times.
What can I do - any ideas?
regards
Are you trying to connect with Activesync or disc drive?
I couldn't install active sync under win7. I had to install 'win mobile device manager 6.1' which ist ok but driver install always says 'access denied'.
The hole thing should last about 20 seconds but I'm working on it severel hours
Ideas would be wellcome.
Edit. My hd2 has settings 'active sync' with 'fast synchronisation off'. I hpe this is correct in english, my settings are german.
i'm usign Windows 7 Pro x64 with Office 2007.
No problems at all.
Do you have enough priviledge when you install drivers?
Did you download the correct driver package?
I'm logged in as admin and I loaded the package from MS (drvupdate-amd64.exe 12.749kB).
Edit: I found a 'trick' in another forum (search registry for 'KLFLTDEV' and delete this branch - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class UpperFilters in Portable Device) which didn't work for me.
Mine worked fine, but I'm not sure if I had to run as admin or not. Did you try the whole right click-run as admin option? Or in properties set the compatibility to something else? Otherwise, there may be a problem with your phone's software and a hard reset could fix that. With a good backup program, it doesn't suck as bad as it sounds. =p
Hi,
hard reset of my hd2 is not a problem.
I have a unknown device under portable devices and after driver update I get a 'driver found' and afterwards an 'access denied'.
after googling this turned up in microsoft forum about getting "access is denied" error when installing drivers:
This issue is caused by the monitor driver update fails to access following
files.
C:\Windows\inf\infpub.dat
C:\Windows\inf\infstor.dat
C:\Windows\inf\infstrng.dat
C:\Windows\inf\drvindex.dat
C:\Windows\inf\INFCACHE.1
Please follow these steps to set the permission of these files.
1. Negative to C:\Windows\inf\
2. Right click infpub.dat and choose properties.
3. Select Security tab, click Edit.
4. Click the current User Account name, check Full Control checkbox as Allow.
Note : If the current User Account name is not listed, please click “Add”,
following the “Enter the object name to select” title, type in the current
User Account name and then click Ok.
5. Click Apply, click OK.
Please repeat the above steps with infstor.dat, infstrng.dat, drvindex.dat
and INFCACHE.1.
After that trying to install the driver once again.

Hi,
I found the mentioned fiiles in \windows\system32\driverstore and did what you told me - but no success Access denied.
thanks
I also have Win 7, and Windows Mobile Device Center. I have had problems with Activesync before, but was due to "Enable faster data syncronization" being checked. However, I was always able to connect with the computer through "Disc Drive" option. This won't solve your problems entirely, but you can find out if your computer will recognize the phone at all.

Yes I did and I checked it too.
I tried all again and recogniced that after taking the ownership all is fine but a moment later the ownership disappears again. So how can I do this permanantly?
And yes I tried different USB boards.

THIS IS THE ANSWER
I had same issues and resolved it by using the MITTY without driver solution!!

It works - just follow all the instryctions and load all drivers they say!

I never had any issues getting Win7 pro 64 and Outlook 7 / 2010 syncing up.
I did change my windows setup a fair abit. If you are not full admin that could be it. Did you do a fresh windows install or upgrade an existing install to windows 7?
Taking control of folders can be problematic, even with a full install. I still have a few folders being annoying but most of them I got working.
There is a hidden full access admin account hidden on the computer, you might try enabling that and giving it a go. Or to see if it can bump your access levels up.
1. Click on “Start button -> All Programs -> Accessories“. Right-click on “Command Prompt” and select “Run As Administrator“. If you are prompted to enter password, enter the password and continue. You can also open Command Prompt in Administrator mode by typing “cmd” in Startmenu Search box and press “Ctrl+Shift+Enter“.
2. Now provide following command:
net user administrator /active:yes
3. Thats it. The Administrator account will be enabled. If you want to disable it again, simply replace "yes" with "no" in above command.

I saw your post about logging in as admin, but that one is even more admin so it might do something. Folder control is also a big deal with windows now so be sure you have control.
Did you sync your phone with older computers? I cant remember if this phone had issues with multiple PCs in its sync list or not, I only use two and thats what my old one would only allow.

I did sync with my older PC with WinXP Sp3 and Outlook 2003. With active sync I had only minor problems. Maybe it would be the same with Win7 and Outlook 2007 - but I can't install the driver.
Thanks for your suggestions, I'll give them a try.

Sorry,
but I can't get ownership of \windows\system32\driverstore. I guess it would be neccessary but I get always 'access denied' - even I'm logged in as administrator. Why I can't get ownership of this directories/files ?
Sh.t Win7
I'm have the same issue also with Device Center not recognizing my HD2. It will recognize the HD2 as a "Disk Drive" but not as "Active sync" I tried with/without the underbox checked.
I've tried all of my USB ports. I just tried the cmd: "net user administrator /active:yes", but I get "System error 5 has occurred. Access denied"
I'm running windows 7 Ultimate 64bit-Outlook 2007
Hi,
I did it.
Unfortunately I don't know exactly what I did. Something like get ownership of some Files in \windows\system32 (belonging to windows mobile) and getting ownership of some registry entries (belonging to windows mobile) - only black despair.
After restart I changed the usb port and - 30 seconds later sync was running
I'm happy now but can't tell you exactly what to do.
