Difinative Vista Flashing Guide - P3300, MDA Compact III upgrading etc.

I cannot spell.
Is there a final guide for flashing your Artemis whilst running vista? I have been trying for hours now and I am giving up for the moment. I cannot get my WMDC to talk to my Artemis when it is bootloader mode, I have followed the procedure where you put new (old) drivers and change device manager, I have been into the services menu and changed things there....
I am stuck... this is such a bore I think I will give up
gc

try removing your sim and memory cards and disable the uac in vista (account control).
That's all I can offer.

USPL - 100% Working in vista

I have a long fight with USPL and vista, but finally yesterday I won.
All you need to do is:
1. Remove your SD card
2. Do a hard reset or clean storage (some programs like battery status block full access to your device)
3. Connect your mobile to PC and make sure that activsync connection is established
4. Start to flash your device with USPL, when DOS part end and your mobile switch to bootloader mode vista will find new device and start instaling new drivers.
5. Wait till vista finish installing new drivers and unplug your device, do a soft reset
6. Next step is to change vista drivers to xp, to do this you need to fallow this instruction:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
7. After switching the drivers plug your artemis again and install USPL, there should be no more problems with connection lost (errors 260, 270)
8. When USPL instalation will finish you can flash any rom you want to your arte
Succesfully tested on my T-Mobile MDA UK now I've got WM6 WWE.
Thanks pof for your great release

Thanks for news about it..!
Worked for me.
Works Great !
One more notch on WM6 belt!!
Working great!!!
Used it to upgrade to WM6 (bepe's) and later, GSM (2.93.90)!!
Big
Thank you, this helped me USPL my orbit on vista.
Oh...My...God! That is so cool of you! Many thanks!!!
at step 4: do i stop after the DOS part? Or do i continue with the screen with the big picture of a mobile?
Because after the DOS part vista installs the drivers but i'm not yet in the bootloader screen on my mobile (but i've got a white screen).
at step 6: When i untick "allow USB connections" in the WMDC, my mobile is no longer in the Device Manager list so how can i then change te drivers to the XP drivers?

First put your Artemis into bootloader then connect to your PC. Vista will install a driver for a PDA but this driver is not correct. You can find the correct drivers in the posts above this. After installing the NEW drivers you can reset your artemis and disconnect it from your pc. Restart it and just run USPL again. Has to work now.
Good luck!
ok what am i doing wrong...?
have followed all the steps above... but still get a 270?
am on official O2 uk WM6 rom but want to upgrade radio as performance / batt life have become dire since moving from the HTC WM6 rom to the offical O2 one....
device now syncs without drop out having changed driver to the old 2004 one... but still cant upgrade radio or USPL or anything ......
HELP!
the odd thing is the O2 wm6 rom updates fine within vista. but nothing will go over the top of it?
o21 exchanged my orbit... new one updates fine.. woohooo
first thanks for the news now we know the uspl works on vista
second 2. Do a hard reset or clean storage (some programs like battery status block full access to your device) is interesting to know this

Second time flashing, help!
I succesfully flashed my Artemis (after using USPL)... At the moment, I'm tired of my cooked ROM and I would like to install a new ROM. Do I have to use USPL a second time?
Bootloader screen says: SPL 1.11.100 (or something like that...)
Many thanx...
Doesn't work, because Vista says that it is not a Vista driver. How did you all installed the drivers under vista???
cmon uspl gives error code 260
Though I am not new to these ROM upgrading things, I am always receiving error code 260 while trying to update the SPL by cmon uspl. I have already successfully updated by uspl, long ago. I have flashed several ROMs and tried most of them.
Why only cmon uspl is giving me such error?

Vista and WM6

Anybody install Helmi's ROM from Windows Vista?
I have trouble/ When i start bootloder on my BA, PC don't connect to mobile device
And i can't install ROM
I try install activesync, but that is impossible
You can't use RUU on vista with the built in drivers unfortunately.
There is a thread (search for it) and you will find out how to get it working.

how to upgrade ROM from VISTA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723
Upgrade is done with the old activesync drivers ... thats why i hate vista, you have to do a lot of stuff to reach your goal
I conferm that the rom upgrade never worked on my pc with Vista. I was forced to use my laptop with Xp. I think someone should make blueangel update utilities compatible with Vista too
Or just keep an XP virtual machine in a safe place
i will post the steps for vista upgrade later, because i am lil busy
xplode?
Have you read the wiki already?) There is nice step by step tutorial - however if you can make some pictures It would be much better!
Follow the instructions in this thread:

Kerio, your wiki is very good, but my device only be in bootloader mode, and, although the vista recognize my device, the program that i'm using do not run the instaler. It be only in the first screen and do not able to get informations about my device.
My device is only with serial and v 2.08 in the screen!!!!
Thanks,

Try to remove SD from your device b4 do the flashing.
Thats right SD card should be removed before flash (device may not go into "USB" mode when "cradled")
However I have made PICTURES and added them to the wiki (they are quite big and it doesnt look very well) but will improve it later

M3100 newbie help

Just purchsed the Orange M3100 phone but I cant sync it on my pc. Ive downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center driver for Vista 64bit. It doesnt pick up my phone. Please help, ive googled etc.
Running WM 5.
In settings>connections>usb to pc, uncheck "advanced network functionality". That might work...
Cheers...
also make sure its pluged directly into your pc (one of the ports on the back) not though a usb hub, thats the prob i had syncing my 3100
thanks ultramag69. it seemed to work
now can i use FREE HTC HERMES UNLOCKER v3a by pof using vista?
the instructions talk about active sync and windows xp but no vista
sorry but ive only used this phone for few hours
you can use the sd card method as described in its readme.txt that comes with it
thats the problem I dont have a sdcard yet. Just thought the XP instructions may work using Vista and WMDC.
I believe you need to update to the latest version of WMDC through my reading but you may want to confirm that. If you do a search through the wiki using terms like "vista activesync hermes" you should get a hit as it has been extensively talked about. Also please make sure you check what radio rom you have as unlocking the hermes will downgrade the radio rom to 1.16.00.10. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT RADIO YOU HAVE SO YOU AN PUT IT BACK...
If you want to use the sd card method (I find it safer than from the pc) then you need an sd card 2 Gb or smaller as though the OS can read a higher card the bootloader (the software in the hermes used to flash) can't. Don't forget to Hard SPL your hermes after you unlock it, I didn't need to do this but you can check by putting a sim from another carrier into your hermes. However, Hard SPL is a MUST. You can get instructions from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Sd card method on page 116, post 1160. It has all the apps needed to flash both through pc and sd card.
Then you're good to go for flashing a new os.Look into each os on your own, read the post and make up your own mind, DON'T ASK WHICH IS THE BEST..... There is no "best" for everyone, you need to choose on your own. As for the Radio Rom, I would suggest ONLY using the sd card method as if you flash this it the thing that is MOST likely to brick your device if something goes wrong. DON'T INTERRUPT THE FLASH FOR ANYTHING!!!!!
As stated the unlocking will change your radio rom.
Read carefully each step of the guides and don't skip anything and you'll be fine...
Welcome and happy flashing,
Cheers...
hi ultramag69. flashed the phone today and it worked fine. the only problem i have now is when trying to update to wm6 i just get the 4 colours screen and lose sync. same when trying to hard spl 2.1. any ideas?

Should like to Flash ROM, but ERROR 260

Hello
I've got a problem. I want to flash my ROM to WM6.5.
I connectet my Phone with Vista over USB-Port.
The ROMUpdateUtility.exe start the GUI.The phone disconnect from Vista and the Install GUI shows me after few seconds the ERROR 260, that my Phone ist not connectet.
On my Phone I see the three coulored Monitor. On the left lower site is written "USB".
I tried to hold the connection with Vista ( i startet the Camera or other Applikation ) but the same problem.
Whenever i start the ROMUpdateUtility.exe the same. Disconnect and never connect again.
What can i do, that my phone stay connectet with Vista, so the Install GUI can make his work?
thx AcidC ( and sorry for my bad english)
run artemis uspl first
remove any sd card if u have
and then try it
Hi,
we tried with and without microSD card and or sim card.
The real problem is the connection which is interrupted and doesn't rebuild.
Independent of trying to flash the WM6.5 or USPL.
Silly question, but you never know..Do you have Windows Mobile Device Center installed in your PC and is your device connected to it? It is the "Activesync for Vista". The three coloured screen is normal, it is called Boatloader. After that you should have a progress bar of what you are updating (rom,radio..uspl..etc) on both PC and Artemis. In my case, when i got error [260] it's always because I forget to remove the SD card. I know you already tried this but keep it away from device when you flash.Your problem is maybe about Vista Drivers for Artemis, there are threads concerning it. Before you investigate further,try to install/reinstall Windows Mobile Device Center, change USB port and flash with a freshly booted PC. Hope you'll get the magic.
P.S. USPL flash is ABSOLUTELY THE FIRST THING TO DO!
Workaround: try to flash with a PC running XP
You need RUU for vista
Ok. I tried it again, but like u said, i need USPL and WM6.5 RUUs for Vista. But can u help me? I don't find somthing :-(
I consider myself beeing quite lucky for not having needed this even if I'm on Vista,hope helps for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337097

[Blue Angel] Upgrade "Connection Error"

Hey Folks,
i have problem while upgrading. I have a Blue Angle flahed last year to WinMo 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20262 (Build 19949.1.2.0Black). I don't remember the release. But now i have i big problem. I cant upgrade to any newer or lower version.
I tried:
- Format Storage
- Hive Registry
- Disabeled und enabled Active Sync
- With/without Bootloader Mode
- three different RUU.dll
Everytime i try to upgrade (not in bootloader mode) i fetches rom version and proceed. But after 20sec it say connection error. In bootloader mode i doesn't fetch version and same message after 20 sec. Both tried with or without AS and on two different Computers und XP SP3.
Any help?
Sincerly - firstabalon
hi,
since you tried so much stuff before and seem to know your way around the device and the general upgrading process and i have hardly anything to suggest to go on trying. probably the only thing left to try is take another blueangel with either one of your pcs.
another thing is, i uploaded my ruu, which has always worked for me and everybody else who tried it.
i hope this helps, but i will keep on thinking and maybe i can still come up with more ideas.
chef tony...
i dont get it...
i dont know how to use this...
sorry...
i'm new in using the BA...
try and read this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM6_WizzardMain
step by step instructions how to upgrade with everything there is to do and all the files you need. even if you don't get what you are doing, by following it precisely you will get your device flashed.
thanks chef tony...
i'll try doing that later...
i really like the senior members here...you guys are so helpful...keep up the good work...you're the guide here...

Couple of things to try out would be to switch USB ports, try a different cradle (if you can get your hands on one), or try using mtty.
