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...

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

Driver Installation Problem

I previously had Touch Diamond and sync without any problem with my Laptop thru windows mobile device centre but i just received my new Touch Hd but when i connect it always search for DRIVERS and when it finishes i just cannot connect.It will give me a message that DRIVERS ARE INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY but i cannot see my device when i open the Device Centre. I restart both the computer and the touch Hd without success. What do i do? I checked HTC website but NO drivers to download.

Have you tried Windows Update instead? Apparently you need to update Mobile Device Center (damn-american-sic) to get the Touch HD to work properly. I didn't have the problem due to downloading and installing the updated version in the first instance from scratch on plugging in Blackstone.

Thanks my friend but how do i do that? Pls send me a link.

um... what? You mention Mobile Device Center rather than Active Sync, therefore you must be using Windows Vista. Windows Update is part of windows. there is no link I can give you other than it's in your Start -> All Programs -> Windows Update.
I honestly don't know how you can be running Windows Vista and not know about Windows Update. Even if you have a pirated version of Windows, you should still know about it because you have to disable Windows Update to not get your system to lock up when it tries to authenticate itself on the update service automatically!
Open Windows Update, if you have an old version of Mobile Device Center, there will be an update there for you. If you already have this updated version then I don't know what's wrong for you.

I do understand. I have windows Vista (Genuine) and everybody knows of windows update and my system update daily.To be honest there is no particular update for WMDC atleast i cannot see any that's why i come to you people for help.

Applogies, my confusion was the way that your post sounded like you were asking for a link to Windows Update!
When you connect your blackstone, does it pop up with a message on the phone screen asking if you want to connect as ActiveSync, Disk Drive or Internet Sharing or does it do nothing? If it does nothing, there's a chance that it might have been accidentally set to automatically connect to one of the options other than ActiveSync, thus not showing the phone in Device Center
If this is the case, on your blackstone go to Settings (either Start -> settings or the settings tab of TouchFlo3D then "all settings" on the left soft-key at bottom left of screen) then Communications tab, then USB to PC and see if the bottom check-box is selected. Select the top most radial button (or confirm that it is selected) and try connecting to your laptop again.
If that doesn't work, go back to the USB to PC screen and make sure that the checkbox saying "clear this check box is ActiveSync does not recognise the device" is unchecked. (alternatively check the box if it was previously unchecked, just in case!)
If those don't work, I'm not sure what else to suggest!

Activesync: Unknown device

Hi all,
It's been a while, but I am back with HD2. I have a problem. I have win7 business on all off my computers, I instaled latest activesync, but I keep getting error connection. When installing drivers, I get the unknown device, so instalation failed.
Not even bluetooth recognition works.
Any suggestions, please?

If you are using Windows 7 Business, I would guess you mean you are using Windows Mobile Device Center, yes? In Windows Device Manager are you set up to automatically download drivers? Are you getting any errors in the Sync Center? There is a lot of information you have to supply before anyone can troubleshoot the problem you are having.
There are a lot of steps you can take, most of which you can find by doing a search of XDA. If that fails, then come back with a more detailed explanation of what you have done, and people will try to help troubleshoot for you.

Thanks for looking,
and yes I have been searching a lot for information allready before I made a new thread.
I have win7 business and yes it does download drivers automaticly.
I will try and search for manual driver setup, but would be very thankful if any of you could give me some hints.

In Device Manager you can click on Portable Devices and see if you see your HD2 there, if you do, then right click on it. You can find options to manually install drivers. If that does not work, in the Mobile Device Center you can configure how the center is supposed to connect to your HD2. Have you tried that yet? Also, make sure you are not using a USB hub for connections. You can try changing USB ports to try to reinstall drivers.

I am trying hard, this is the error I get:
P.S.: in activesync all options are on, so no problems there, but I have tried all of them.

In that case, try uninstalling the device in Device Manager, and starting over again. It does seem to be a driver problem. Another trick you can try is on the HD2, under Settings, USB to PC, try unticking Enable advanced network functionality, and then try to reinstall the drivers.
Another thing you can try is deleting the partnership in Windows Mobile Device Center and creating a new partnership.

Is there a wa I could find the driver somewhere and install it myself?

In the Leo ROM forum the thread on MTTY has some Windows 7 drivers you can download I believe, but that will take awhile.
Are you using Win7 32 or 64 bit?

win7 32 bit. I tried to download them through windows update, but I got an error as well.
So I am on a quest for drivers....

If you are familiar with computers, you can try this with Win7 drivers you download for HD2.
You did try uninstalling your device in Device Manager, and trying another USB port to install it on? It seems really odd that Win7 is not finding the right drivers for you, and that persists even after you uninstall and reinstall the device.

No luck so far, any more ideas?

Update:
I tried the same thing on another laptop, same specs, same win7 business, worked like a charm.
So must be this win7 problem I think. Any ideas what to do? I can't remove mobile device center, so I could try and reinstall it. The icons stay in my control panel.

Anybody?
I just can't imagine this is only happening to me.

Did you have any luck yet in solving the problem?

Nope my dear helper,
I found out this is windows7 problem. I still get the first error can't install device driver, because the device is not installed on the computer.
Something must be wrong, but I was getting a head, network driver installed fine, windows mobile device program runs fine, I made a clean install with register delete etc...
I just can' seem to find this to work.

i had some problem the first time i plugged my HD2 on win7 64 ultim.
nothing happened, no activesync, no nothing...
i opened sync center, nothing...
windows updates found me windows mobile device center with upgrade devices, the thing installed but all still worked bad, impossible to activesync, no driver for my HD2, and i know nothing about phones and windows, it's my first windows mobile.
so after hours of fighting, i decided to DL the app windows mobile device center on microsoft download website, then i installed the thing and oh miracle, my HD2 was detected, the app Win M D Center was asking me now with the pic of my hd2 in the prog to chose between settings as the first thing installed by windows update always froze at win mob device center splash screen...
i resume here but it took me the all afternoon to finally resolve this problem.
something went wrong with windows update install and to reinstall the all app was the easy way to fix the activesync problem.

If you did already re-download Windows Mobile Device Center and that did not work on the one recalcitrant computer, maybe you might need to update your BIOS or download the latest drivers for you motherboard. Sometimes problems can crop up if the computer does not have the most updated BIOS and motherboard drivers. How old is the computer you are using?

Well, after calling microsoft support and HTC support and doing for 36 hours nothing but trying I finally reinstalled my hole system. So new clean install of windows 7 business and it works like acharm. Where did it went wrong, I don't know, there had to be some register issue I think. Windows mobile center worked ok, the connection with the phone worked, but just not recognizing the device. Well I would of done the instalation sooner, If I knew this one is gonna be so hard to do.

Well, glad you finally solved your problem, and that this time the blame was not just placed on HTC or the Leo. Sad though that you had to go through so much to get the darn thing to work. I just installed a new operating system for my neighbor, and there is still more work to do on it. Not a fun thing to do.

HD2 sync with Win7 64bit and Outlook 2007

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.

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.

Have you tried re-installing ActiveSync on your computer ? Are you using XP or Vista?
I "just" had the same problem on my XP. Even when attempting to reinstall it,
it would not connect. I couldn't remove the program either from the uninstaller.
Found this info: On your computer Click _ start - run - then type the following: fixapi - then hit enter.
Don't have a clue what it did but was able to install again and up and running.
I have a Vista also but have not needed it on that one so I don't know if it works on Vista. Hope this helps you, cause I know it was pissing me off when I couldn't get mine to work.
Good luck.
By the way, what phone are you using and also did you try to download the Activesync 4.5 from the net & install ?

Ok, windows 7 is probably your problem. After XP, which activesync worked on, Vista was changed to Windows Mobile Device Center, which works very similar to activesync. I assume you've never had it working. Support ended with XP.
Windows 7 also uses Windows Mobile Device Center which should already be on your computer. If not check out this link out:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/apps/65-downloads.aspx
If already installed on computer it should open by itself. if it doesn't, attempt to open it yourself. 1st sync you have to set it up, what to sync, media, pics,etc.
Should be pretty easy for you to fix this. Pay attention whether your using a Windows 7 - 32bit or 64bit system.
By the way, don't downgrade to XP. Defeats the purpose of having windows 7. There is an option to run XP on a windows 7 systems so you can run older programs on it but since I don't own a windows 7, yet, I'm not that knowledgeable about it. Just google - running xp on windows 7 and you should find a lot of information.

Should be pretty easy for you to fix this. Pay attention whether your using a Windows 7 - 32bit or 64bit system.
By the way, don't downgrade to XP. Defeats the purpose of having windows 7. There is an option to run XP on a windows 7 systems so you can run older programs on it but since I don't own a windows 7, yet, I'm not that knowledgeable about it. Just google - running xp on windows 7 and you should find a lot of information.

Ok, your starting to lose me here. You can sync Win 7 with Bluetooth. Can you connect it with the USB conn ? What exactly are you trying to do ?
Activesync should work on your laptop, if it's installed. You trying to connect it with bluetooth or USB.
Is activesync "on" your phone ? Is the phone a stock T-Mobile or flashed ?
Again, activesync is "only" for XP.
What are you syncing on the computer ?

Ok, win 7 I can't help you with. Check your computer for Usb drivers !!! Maybe do a hard reset of the phone and start from scratch, after backing up what you want. If you can sync with bluetooth but not usb, it would almost have to be the something with the drivers or the phone.
As far as the laptop that's running XP, do as I suggested in above post - Start - Run - (type): fixmapi - enter. Then re-install activesync. Check usb drivers on the laptop. Re-download if necessary.
The fact that you cannot connect to either computer with usb suggests to me that it's probably the phone. Do a hard reset and retry.
Hope this helps, let me know ? Would definitely piss me off too.
By the way, if your using the same cable with both computers, switch it out for a different cable and then try to connect before hard resetting, might be the cable.

no success

You hard reset ? If so the only other suggestion would be to flash another rom. Question is, can you flash a rom over bluetooth ? Probably not.
start>settings>connections>usb to pc ?
I have nothing else, sorry.
