Manual for how to flash a rom in Vista

O.k. for everyone who's traying to Flash in Vista
Donwload the files from this link: http://rapidshare.com/files/38401715/Manual_and_files.rar.html
and extract them in a new created folder like for example your desktop. Extract the USB Modem Vista in a different folder on your desktop (easy to find)
- put your device in bootloader mode (press and hold power, light and softreset button)
- connect the MDA to your computer.
- open computer management (devicemanager) in vista, rightclick computer in startmenu and select manage (see step 1)
- in computermanager open devicemanager (step 2)
- follow step 3 and 4.
After step 4 browse to the folder where you extracted the USB Modem Vista and choose next.
It will install the active sync drivers to vista and you will be able to flash.
I attached a exit bootloader file to exit bootloader mode (you can also install drivers without flashing the device)
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO EXIT BOOTLOADER MODE!!!! EVEN BEVORE FLASHING!!!!
If you do it properly it will be done in less than 4 minutes.
Good luck.

Nope. In Vista with current drivers and updates the driver cannot be updated to an older one; neither in bootloader mode (uknown USB device) nor in standard mode (PocketPC).
vjj

Don't hate if you're a noob With Vista
Download my package and see for yourself mate!
I run Vista Business for almost 6 months and I'm flashing trough Vista for quite a long time now. Even now after upgrading the Windows Mobile Device Center.
So as far as I know your post is based on nonsence!!!
As I've said many many times, you have to do it exacly the way I wrote it.

Pro to noob
for your info, I've been using Vista for about two years.
building and flashing ROMs for 3 years now.
I do not argue with possibility to flash ROM in Vista.
I do argue with possibility to use your instruction universaly in all standard Vista installations.
I've seen and tried both possibilities myself.
Universal in boot mode:
"The best driver software for your device is already installed.
Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.
Uknown Device."
Have you ever seen this message? I doubt.

I've seen that message when you don't do it correctly.
I'm not going to discuss with you if it works or not. And as far as being a pro... been working at microsoft for 6 years. Cheers mate! and good luck flashing building or whatever it is that you do.

Nonesence Again.

I was using vista since beta1, and i have been using WMDC since its beta stages. And i do have to confirm the method with updating your drivers with AS ones works Perfectly. Try again, but dont search for drivers, update it manualy, AND, dont forget to untick ALLOW USB CONNECTION in WMDC before pluging in a bootloaded device. That really does work a charm.

But what about Vista 64 version? This driver don't want to install on Vista 64...

use the ones from activesync for XP x64

This isn't working for me? I tried it numerous of times... I'm using Vista Home Premium and it goes through everything- but when I started to install my ROM- the program shuts down at the part where it begins to load

Windows 7 and .NET

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

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

Omnia II (i8000) and Windows Mobile Device Center

Hi,
Can anyone please tell me why my Omnia II (i8000) is not detected by ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center? I'm tired of trying and very close to giving up hope.
Can you please help me with the issue?

First try on another computer. Then you know more and you can search this site.

I tried with 5 computers. Do I need more?

well i have the opposite case ... everytime a connect mine it detects a new phone .....

In win xp just a one time installation of activesync 4.5 then reboots afterwards then install pc studio that came with a cd or download the latest one.
i had this kind of problem with WMDC running in win 7 ultimate.
what i did was
1. install the pc studio sw (use compatibility mode as win vista sp1) then reboot
2. when u plug the O2 it will try to find the driver but will fail to install.
3. uninstall WMDC thru add/remove programs
4. when u go to dev mgr u will see I8000 with "Question Mark" meaning driver doesnt install properly( pretty much obvious..)
4. try to update the driver manually it says to search driver thru internet select that option if u miss it.. ur next option is to run windows update
5. win update will try to find the latest patch and driver update for ur system. (ur phone shuld be connected to pc at this moment) so that it will find the hardware update available for your pc.
6. go to "hardware option" on the windows update, if u see the "MIT USB Sync" thats the driver for your omnia 2, select that and install it right away..once finish reboot while phone are still connected.
7. if it doesnt find the hardware update on first run..reboot and try it again..( it took me several hrs before it finds the mit usb sync.. patience it s must here)
8. WMDC will run on startup automatically.
hope this will help..

and the bad part is Samsung did not make any driver/software for Windows 7

My i8000 works without a hitch on my Win7 system (x64 and x86). Check if your device's USB option is set to ActiveSyn or USB Mass Storage.

help with omnai 2 i8000
hi friends..
i bought an omnia 2 i8000 8gb 2 weeks back..i bought it from india..
i want to know weather i can upgrade my winmo 6.1 professional to winmo 6.5..
the shop told free upgrade is possible..but not available in india till now..
so i want to know is there a way to upgrade it from internet..
pda--I8000DDII3
CSC--I8000NUII3
these are the details in version..can anyone get me a solution..
i read from internet that i could go to samsung site of a country and upgrade it from that site if my phone was manufactured in that country..im not sure if thats right..
pls tell me from which place my phone was made..
and also is it possible for me to upgrade to winmo 6.5 from samsung site...
PHONE--I8000XXII4

Just to share ... Spent abt 6hrs figuring out why my omnia 2 would always hang when i needed to set it up for partnership in order to sync in WMDC (OS = Win7). Been searching wif different keywords in google and realised my problem is not common which convinces me that there is something funky with my set up that is preventing the sync.
Got lucky today ... did a wild google on "omnia 2 wmdc driver" ... and on 1 of the threads, discovered that it is important that the Windows in-built Windows Media Player had to be "installed", which i didnt do since i'd been using other media players. And voila ... issue resolved.
MS sucks! Especially when you get humiliated by such problems that seems so easily fixed. =D

[Q] USB connection problem - Donation & eternal gratitude for the solution!

Hi everybody,
I hope you can help me because I really can't find the solution:
When I connect my HD2 WP7-device to my computer it charges, but isn't recognized.
- Zune won't start automatically and won't find any device.
- Device Manager doesn't show any unknown device or something that could be my phone.
What I have tried so far:
- Used a XP3 and W7 x64 machine (also ones without any history with a WP7-phone)
- Used a lot of different cables
- Used a lot of different USB-ports
- reinstalled WP7
- reinstalled zune
- (de)installed activesync
- I'm not sure, but first I had a dual-boot solution with Android and I recall USB also didn't work there.
I started to think the USB-connection of my phone might be broken, but when I use MAGDLR, the USB works as mass storage and I can also use the USB flasher. The Bootloader also works, so I tried the following:
- (using bootloader) restored the HD2 in its original state with a official stock ROM and original (locked) HSPL
- Installed a Android ROM: the USB also does NOT work with WM6.5 or Android.
Does anyone know anything I can try now? And Yes, I have read all of the threads of other people with USB-issues and the MS-solutions, but none of them had the solution for me...
Coffee-donation for whoever has the golden tip

Hello guys, I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am facing a similar issue.
I installed the LEO70 ROM on my HD2 when it first came out, and forgot all about it. I now want to install the NoDo (7932) update to test it out (and maybe move permanently to an Android ROM eventually when I decide I don't like it). I am facing an issue; I want to upgrade my MagLDR to 1.13 (from 1.12) and ROMUpdateUtility doesn't recognize my phone, giving me the 'Error 260 - Connection' error.
I did remove Windows Mobile Device Center a month or two ago... could this be the problem? I have the latest Zune software installed on my Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 (x86-64) machine, and when I plug in the phone, Zune automatically starts and recognizes my phone, telling me there's a phone update available (from February that I need to install to enable future updates). I know it will kill my phone, so I won't install it. Also, USBMassStorage mode works nicely.
Any ideas?

Hi sclip,
I don't mind if you try to find an answer to your problem too, but it seems like a different one, because mine does work in bootloader/magdlr-mode.
BTW. I just installed the stock WM6.5 Rom of HTC, and USB still doesn't work! Can it be the radio of hardSPL or is it just broken?

****, after installing the stock WM6.5, it won't install another Radio/MAGDLR using bootloader, it stucks at the 0%.
I think I might haved destroyed my HD2

That did the trick, thanks. To bad it didn't help my USB problem...

since youve tried just about everything else try this
try using USBDVIEW and delete all the USB drivers
also install it on a different PC that hasnt had WP7 connected to it before
to continue with fault testing will requirer us to rule out the PC or the phone, at the mo it could be anything.
since you have Windows 7 install the XP virtual machine and use that, i believe the VM now supports pass through on USB so it should work, i have an old IrDA adaptor that wont install on my w7 PC but it will on the XP VM

Thanks for the USBDVIEW-tip, quite a nice piece of software! However it didn't help me with my problem. Using a computer which never had WP7 connected before didn't help either...

[Q] MAGLDR device driver was not successfully installed

My EU HD2 is running MAGLDR 1.13 which I installed from my Windows 7 PC, but I threw it away because it was too slow. I installed Windows for Parallels on my MacBook running Lion. I put my HD2 in USB Flasher mode, and it says "wait USB" but it doesn't say "USB" after that. On my computer it says "the device driver was not successfully installed". I tried installing the Google USB driver but it didn't install properly. I also tried following this thread, but I didn't understand it much. Can someone help me out? Thanks.

Problem Solved
Dear All,
I was facing the same Issue. And I know this thread is very old and Issue may be resolved. Just in case somebody like me searching for resolution can do the following :
1. for XP => Install Active Sync
2. for Win Vista / Win 7 => Install Windows Mobile Device Center

@me_malik: Are you sure this way it will help?
As far as I remember, Active sync/WMDC is for devices running on windows mobile up to version 6.5.5 and are discontinued afterward. The USB drivers installed for MAGDLR or CLK are different and can be found in the AndroidSDK folders.
I am responding because I am also facing the same issue and WMDC is already installed on my computer for the other HTC phone still running on Windows Mobile 6.5.5.
Thanks for the response though.
