Hi
As explained here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_USBModem
The driver won't load under Vista with an error "can't find specified file", it looks like the usbser.sys file is missing in Vista.
Has anyone succeeded in getting the TyTN working as a USB modem?
With HSDPA speed, bluetooth isn't fast enough
Maximum speed I've been able to achieve over bluetooth is about 400kbit/s while over USB I can easily get over 1.1Mbit/s
I got it to work in Beta 2 & RC1 but since RC2 I get the same error
I have the same error.
It worked in Beta 2 and RC1 OK, but not in RC2. The error is 'can't find specified file' as noted above.
No one found a solution yet ???

I'm having the same problem after doing a fresh install of build 5744. I had it working on the system before - upgraded from RC1 to 5744, so evidently there is something missing in 5744 that breaks this if installed from scratch.
/POL
here is the same error in 5840, i will wait until RTM version to test it again
guys have you tried installing it while logged in as the 'Administrator' not a different username just added to the Administrators group because as you all know applications being installed are run as standard 'User' privlages until installed by the default 'Administrator' account.
try that and let me know...
Got it working for Vista RC2
You have to first read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837637 and change your driver INF file accordingly. I have a version of the P2K driver file that recognizes the motorola V360 which I'm attaching for ilustration purposes.
Hope this helps...
Working on Vista RC2 Build 5744
Thanks for that. It's now working in my version of Vista (this post is written whilst using the USB connection).
I used the files attached which I tweaked thanks to xargons17's note.
My tweaks included changing the following so I could check the correct driver was being installed:
[Strings]
PROV = "HTC"
USB\Vid_045E&Pid_0079.DeviceDesc = "RAV Hermes WM5 USB Modem"
USBFilterString ="RAV Hermes WM5 Modem Driver"
and it involved changing the following reference (commenting out usbser.sys,,,0x20):
[UsbModemFiles]
;usbser.sys,,,0x20
;
; Explicitly states the usbser.sys should not be taken from the CD/Disk
;
When installing always choose 'Let Me Pick From A List of Device Drivers On My Computer' option. And choose 'Have Disk' to navigate to the attached .inf file. The device being installed should be the 'RAV Hermes WM5 Modem Driver' or whatever you decide to call it in the [Strings] section. I changed the strings name so I could be certain I was selecting the correct driver/device.
This assumes that the file usbser.sys has been copied to c:\windows\system32 folder as this is hardcoded in the usbmdm.inf file attached. Make sure you have the usbser.sys in that folder before attempting to install.
Hope that's helpful to somebody else.
USB Modem
I had the same problem and ended up buying PDANet which works great! www.junefabrics.com/palmnet/
rav your download is corrupt!!! i am having problems installing the file. not working in vista....
file not working
I tried downloading that file that you had already modded but it was a corrupt zip file. please repack!
another file
I created my own file and works fine on Vista RTM, This file assumes that the usbser.sys is under c:\windows\system32
Here are the files again.

Still seems corrupt.
I've just checked from another PC and can download and open the zip file fine. Have others downloaded successfully?

I don't get the 'Let Me Pick From A List of Device Drivers On My Computer' option. Windows automatically install the default driver. Even if I uninstall the default driver it still intalls it with out giving me the oprion to pick.
Vista USB driver problem
I am also having trouble with Vista USB driver & usbser.sys.
Can anyone please advise on modifying my .inf file?

Easy as ABC to resolve Vista USB problem..
Hi guys, I have been having lots of prblem with USB devices ( pen drive, USB portable HDD, IDE-USB HDD, USB MODEM, PDAs etc.. ) but I have found a simple way to resolve all my problem then going thru different ways to resolve issues caused by different devices..
Please read below:
Special Thanks to: http://teknobabble.wordpress.com/20...ems-installing-a-usb-media-reader-a-solution/
Problem:
•In C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository I had two folders named “usbstor.inf” but each one had a different set of numbers attached to the end of the folder name. <- could this be where part of the problem lies?
•When I looked in my C:\Windows\inf folder I discovered the usbstor.inf and usb stor.pnf files were missing <- this definitely had to be an issue.
Once I discovered these anomalies, I proceeded to copy the pnf and inf files from the most recently updated usbstor.inf folder to C:\Windows\inf. I then went back to the update driver wizard, pointed to the inf folder and what do you know but they all started working again.
So with some scepticism I tried this approach and it worked.
I have also attached a ZIP(.doc) file with screen shot for easier reference.
Hope this helps everyone....
Apology for the late reply.
I attached more files to share.
-=SAVE THE WORLD=-
Hi!
I followed all hints, but it doesn't work. The driver can not be installed says Vista. Files are placed in the correct folders.
HTC has release a zip with the drivers, but i can't find it on the web, does anyone have it and could post it?
Thanks

I am really struggling with this tool and will appreciate all the help I can get.
I installed WinXP successfully with WIFI and bluetooth enabled and working. Then I didnt use my Shift for a month ( been on business trip). Battery was completely discharged. When I charged the battery WIFI and Bluetooth are switched off. I assume it cause of full battery discharge.
Now I am trying to make use of Pof's tool but having problems.
I ran install.bat and then tried to use enable WIFI with no joy. I downloaded crygwin and installed it.
I tried to installed ioperm manually but it said "ioperm already installed, canot start service".
On enableWIFI.bat it says "connot connect port. no device found"
Any ideas? pof?
Try uninstalling ioperm (ioperm -U I think?)...reinstalling it, then copy hsect2.exe into the bin folder of cygwin (in c drive)....open cygwin by double clicking on the cygwin icon....type in hsect2 -W 1 to turn wifi on...zero to switch off....same goes for bluetooth - hsect2 -B 1 for on....
TRy that first...
Just out of interest, where did you even find instal.bat in pof's tool? All I got was a zip file with 3 text notes and the hsect2.exe...nothing else? I couldn't break the .exe down any further?
I downloaded and unzipped POf tool
When I downloaded Pof's tool I got more files. There were batch files to switch bluetooth and wifi on and off. (so tha tu dont have to type switches). I also had ioperm and crygwin.dll plus and install. bat which installs ioperm.
When I install ioperm it says driver installed. funtion call to start service failed.
when I uninstall it by using -u switch it says its is not running.
the bin folder in crygwin in empty. I copied hsect2.exe as you suggested but it requires crywin.dll to work.
I am close to pulling my hair out.
Try to remove battery, install it back and then run install.bat and so on.
I got cygwin from here - http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
Just run the installer, the only change you need to make to the default settings is to tick the ioperm box, which is in the libs section. You'll see what I mean when you install it.
Then you can copy the hsect2.exe file to the cygwin/bin folder, and run cygwin and issue the commands there.
ya75khan - I think you need to delete all the old cygwin files and start from a new. As Pantaloonie touches on you need to d/l the full cygwin recommended data set PLUS make sure ioperm is selected...I tried using a lesser number of files by deselecting some but eneded up with similar messages relating to DLL's missing etc etc.
I started a fresh with a new download and installed as per Pantaloonie's instructions and "bing", hsect2 worked.
Pantaloonie, do you think we got a different file set off pof's site? Seems we might not have the same files as some others? Mind you, entering the command line info is straightforward - the buttons do look savvy tho....
No joy
Many thanks for the great suggestions. However despite follwing it word by word I have same problem. i.e. ioperm is installed but service fails to start.
and hence hsect2 has no effect.
I then reverted back to vista. swtiched on WIFI and bluetooth. I earlier had an acronis image of the clean install xp. It was a breeze to resotore the xp with all the drivers installed.
I am happy to share the acronis image. it took a lot of effort to install all drivers and can be realy helpful for some one looking to install XP. problem is it is almost 4gb in size and I cant find a free web service to upload it.

Hi to all, has anybody tried converting a Japanese version SHIFT windows vista to english? please help. i dont know what to do. im lost here. any info will be appreciated thanks
Vistalizator is here http://www.froggie.sk/
you need 2 partitions C and D 。AcronisDiskDirector10 can runs in Vista
And Vista DVD .iso ，Virtual CD-Rom（Magicdisc is good for installation)，Easy BCD。
1. Use AcronisDiskDirector10 diveds the HDD to 2 partitions.“C:\“ and “D:\“
2.Install Virtual CD-Rom，Magicdisc doesn't need reboot unlike the Daemon tools。
3.Insert Vista ISO,Find "Sources\boot.wim " ,copy it to D:\
And copy all ISO in the “D:\vista“
4.Install EasyBCD.
In "Add/Remove Entries" ,Select "WinPE".
"Type" select "wim", "Name" you decide, select "ems enable"
"path" , find the "boot.wim" where you copied it.
5. click "Add Entry" ,then "Save",Sometimes ,you need do it again,untill you see the new titles.
6.reboot,you will see Ramdisc(EMS),Select it.
7."repair computer" >"cmd"
8.type "D:\Vista\Sources\setup.exe" . The Vista installation will be run.
9.In the Installation ,Delete the "C:“，and install the new vista in the C:\。
OK
If you install Vista Ultmate ,When finish the installation,you can install the Japanese MUI on Windows Update.You will have English and Japnaese Vista。
Install Windows 7 use the same way.
i can not connect my Qtek 2020 to PC via USB .
i have XP on the PC and WM 6.1 on the Qtek
i have the drivers but i don`t know what to do.
i have the WCEUSBSH .CAT . INF and .SYS from the original cd
when i conect the device i get a new Local Area Connection /Microsoft TV , Video Connection ...what is this ?
what do i do?
thanks
activesync include the only required drivers
and activesync is a program you can download free at ms
already tried
does not work even with active sync
make sure you have the latests service packs and updates for your computer
and if you use vista you need to use Windows Mobile Device Center rather then activesync
RNDIS
when i connect the device via USB cable my Windows Xp finds new hardware :
Generic RNDIS (PROTOTYPE-Remember to change IDVENDOR)
what is that ?

You are a victim of a well known problem.
Go to settings connections advanced settings and uncheque.
I case the device freezes after you press OK. Softreset and copy the attached file to \Windows folder. After copying rename it to serialusbfn.dll by deleting the last 2 letters.
This is a little workaround to overwrite a ROM-file, without getting an error or using third party apps.
still freezes

\Windows folder .... you mean on the PC right ....cose i don`t have acces on the device ?
i did copy that file on the PC...and the device still freezes
"cose i don`t have acces on the device ?"
use total commander and click \ icon you should get \ on your pda
then click windows and you will be in \windows
wich windows
so the file i should copy in the \windows on the device not on the computer?
....
thanks a lot ....
it works ...
