Hello,
I have been looking at some of the different firmwares available and would really like to install some of them. The problem with this is that I use Vista64 and it doesnt support 16bit...I have downloaded and tried to install a couple but it just says its not supported becuase its 16bit - is there anything i can do to make it work?
Has anyone else had this problem? Did you find a fix to it?
Cheers,
Piers
PS: I am using Vista64 Ultimate and an O2 XDA Orbit.
I had to download vmware and then run xp 32bit in a virtual machine in vmware to be able to flash my phone in vista x64...

Some good info..
No help yet..
I need to figure out what is wrong with the INF file to make XP 64 not accept it.
I tried the Vista Hack.. but that didn't work..
I Made One.
After no answers on this subject.
I read up on what has changed for Windows XP x64 drivers.
I modified the INF file to work.
I have attached the file if anyone needs it.
I am not sure if this will work for Windows 2003 Server x64 or not..
But I think it does as well.
Is there anywhere else I should post this or upload it to?
Thanks,

Vista x64 version?
This is the closest I've had to anything working on Vista x64 - at first it gave the same "file not found" error as in the 32 bit version, so I tried the Vista hack that works for 32 bit (and a few variations thereof), but the best I can get it installs but says "This driver is not intended for this platform", and obviously does not work :/ Anyone have any more ideas on this one? This would get me one more step to wiping out that XP 32bit partition!

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.

I think he meant when the retail version of Windows 7 comes out on October 22nd...The windows XP virtualization mode will be available for download off of the Microsoft website then...
All this assuming that you are running the RC1...Im running the same and ive had problems as well sooo im hoping that windows 7 XP mode fixes that...
i'm using full version of windows 7 but whatever...
I found a windows vista installer and there was no error's,but it don't connect to the device when it's in bootloader mode.It's connects to the pc,but the installers shows that there is connection problem..
but even with the full version of window7 ultimate one still have to download and install windows XP virtualization mode
to get xp mode to work
where to get that virtualization mode?

What Antivirus are you using? Disable it! Then make sure Windows Mobile device Center (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=4F68EB56-7825-43B2-AC89-2030ED98ED95) is installed on your computer and try again.
Hi,
I am trying to install my first ROM but none of the drivers are working for me, I have Win7 64bit is that the reason why? Does anyone know a work around as I don't have access to a 32bit version
Would be great if someone could help as I'm dying to get my first rom on this phone!
Thanks
it also says when I try to flash that rapi.dll is missing, however I have searched around and it is apparently in either ActiveSync or WMDC however I cannot find either of these that work on Win7 64bit
So install x86 version in second partition (dual boot), then you will be certain that everything will work.
I have x86 not x64 so I can not guarantee :/

don't actually open it it just installs what you need.
unrar and place the rapitools in the same folder as the rom installer.
I have windows 7 64bit Ultimate and I have not had a issue installing Roms to several different phones

Hey not a problem I have seen this asked in several threads and pretty much all the answers was just install Win 32bit instead. For me that was not a option to basically lose most of my functionality just to use one program. Either it works at a friends, I find my own solution , or it was just a screw it guess I ain't flashing.
