New method for installing XP

Hi all.
This is another method for installing windows XP on the Shift. It uses WPI (Windows Post Install) for running every installation in sequence, so it should be easier for everybody.
Most steps have been simplified, so hopefully you only have to press a lot of buttons, and you'll end with an almost perfect XP installation.
Download this:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/ca737a/n/WPI_exe
Follow these steps:
1.- Install Windows XP Tablet, or plain Windows XP and use the TabletPCPatch. Take out SD card.
2.- Execute WPI.exe, decompress to C: (type c: and enter)
3.- Execute c:\WPI\wpi.hta
4.- In the applications list that appears, select OmniPass if you wan to use the fingerprint reader and ActiveSync, then click on "Begin Install"
5.- Chipset: next, yes, next, next, finish with reboot.
6.- VGA: next, next, yes, next, next, finish with reboot. Add resolution to registry, yes, yes.
7.- EC Driver: next, finish.
8.- TouchScreen: next, next.
Next and follow trough the three windows of "new hardware found", before rebooting!. Finish with reboot the Touch Screen Driver.
9.- TouchPad: next, next, next, finish with reboot.
10.- FingerPrint: next, accept, next, next, next, install, finish.
11.- Audio: press any key, next, DON'T REBOOT, finish, press any key.
12.- USB Lan: finish.
13.- WLAN: Drivers are copied to c:\wlandrivers, install from there when you are asked for them later.
14.- CYGWIN: next, "install from local directory", next, next, next, click the + sign next to "devel" and click on the word "skip" of the line "ioperm" so that "0.4-1" appears, next, deselect both icons creation, finish.
15.- HSECT: nothing to do here.
16.- BAT Files: Add batfiles to registry, yes, Ok.
17.- Astray: nothing to do here.
18.- SwapResolution: Add swapResolution to registry, yes, Ok.
Let it reboot after 20 seconds.
Now it usually asks about the WLAN drivers, see step nr. 13.
If it asks about drivers for Windows Mobile, just answer yes until it finishes.
Thanks to DeVictoria for the SwapResolution and the rest of you for adding comments.

Thanks for the step-by-step guide dproldan

Hi! Thank you very much for this post!!!
Just an information... Where can I find Windows Xp Tablet???
I have no external cdrom, can I run the installation of Windows Xp Tablet from USB key? How can I do???
Sorry but I'm at a very low level!!!!
Thank you!!!!
Beppe

I cant manage how to run BT/WF.
Its just doesent work. Cygwin seems to be ok, but when i want to run HSECT it shows that some dll is missing, or just disappearing.
I've managed how to install and run bluetooth correctly, but i cant install drivers for Wi-Fi.
"Device cannot start (CODE 10)"
Same stuff with sound. I have only Bluetooth Sound, nothing more.
And i cannot switch to SnapVue.

hi, i install windows xp tablet Pc edition 2005 english version,
step and step follow the new method for installing xp ,
it's ok but wifi ,
in device manager ,marvell sd8686wireless LAN SDIO Adapter #3 is yellow mark, and i can't use it ,
some thing wrong with me?
how can i star up the wifi for internet?

Thanks for the WinXP easy install process. I got everything working trying this package.
To get Wifi working, you have to copy the "copy HTC Shift XP Drivers\WLAN\sdbus.sys to c:\windows\system32\drivers\ say yes to the replace dialog and reboot."
DO THIS IN SAFE MODE ONLY. This is how I got mine to work. I had the same problem with the yellow and not working wifi code 10 in the device manager.
If you copy this without in safe mode, it will not work because after the reboot the system will replace the overided version with the old one again.
thatboyp
'

yes..u re rite.. but in normal windows mode...the sdbus.sys also can be moved.
the overwrite sdbus.sys make the SD card SDHC no functioning.
on the contrary, if i update the sdio driver ...i mean overwrite the sdbus.sys the SDHC card 4g above will work but the wifi lan will not work.
we gona have the driver which works with these two functions

This automated driver installation is great help & instructions are very clear.
Many thanks to dproldan for all the hard work and excellent finish.
However, i had big issues to get wi-fi work but in the end removing the battery and then after that running turn WF on helped.
MAYBE REMOVING BATTERY HELPS WITH WI-FI ISSUE !!
i don't know if this helps but maybe next time:
- check in Vista that wi-fi is turned on
- do all the installing
- if wi-fi not working: remove battery and put it back
- then run WF on
- marvel appeared in device manager with yellow exclamation
- upgrade drivers from c:\wlandrivers

Hallo,
thats perfect. Many Many thanks.

I've finally installed XP using the above WPI method which is fantastic - Many thanks for everyone's effort on it. I was very surprised that both BT and WiFi worked with no extra input or fiddling from me YAY!
BUT my touchscreen wouldn't work as the TabletPC patch doesn't self install and the instructions didn't state this. Luckily I found instructions elsewhere (it unzips to c:/temp and you have to manually run step1 and step2 the reboot) and now it's all working and super speedy compared to Vista.

Has anybody succeeded activating like all chipsets when going with Windows XP Tablet PC SP3 ?
as far as I know using XP involves the following inconvenience:
1. the touchscreen need a tweak in deactivating a HID driver to fully work (working to remove that)
2. making the WiFi work disables the SD Card port => if WiFi then no_SDcard !BIG PROBLEM! (solved by going to sleep then start up - original files, don't replace anything)
3. 800x480 resolution only => can't find any program to make "see" all resolution BUT " MultiRes " could change IF would be available ! !QUITE BIG PROBLEM! (working on it)
4. no native portrait look => try " iRotate " to rotate
5. can't program right upper buttons for exec'ing needed commands (such a Control Panel) (working on it - think I found something)
? I tend to use the latest available drivers, not the ones available on HTC, keeping updated is one of my fixed ideas
I tried Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows XP TabletPC 2005 SP3, Windows Vista and Windows 7... I recommend Windows XP TabletPC 2005 SP3 for advanced users and Windows 7 for the world ON HTC SHIFT, not for pc or else...
If someone has any good and updated instructions set for installing Windows XP TabletPC 2005 SP3... please let me know, the genuine part I have already taken care of, I'm talking more about the drivers and all of that for all to work well, and I need XP for development, Windows 7 is not ready to be low-level programmed and is not suitable for me.
I'm not saying XP is better, I run Windows 7 on my main desktop because is quite powerfull and there's nothing I can't do on it, BUT I need XP for my beautifull Shift, it do think it more suitable
UPDATE ! After I installed Windows XP Tablet PC 2005 SP3, did Windows Update, restart... and discovered a bug wich allows us to use the WiFi without modifying no file, just go to sleep-mode and then start the device, all chipsets are going ok, I'm using a 16GB SDHC Silicon card, using wireless, bluetooth and all what I need... NO hacking required, looks like there's a exploit in power management's sleep mode... that's better for me, for now at least than giving up to SDslot for WiFi... so sleep -> wake, and you're ON !
Update 2: given up and going for Windows 7 which really makes a difference for touchscreen use

Hi Samstables,
I strongly need your help here for installing the TabletPC patch on WinXP.
I followed your steps for installing the TabletPC patch and I did not manage to have the Input Panel working. I can see it while booting Windows but I cannot call it from the taskbar icon.
In the above post you mentioned Step 1 and Step 2, then reboot and so I did it. What about step 3?
What is the size of the patch you used, it's important to know as I might have downloaded a damaged patch.

tanks tanks tanks!
Very good, but i have a problem:
if i reeboot then i don't have wifi.
I must remove from device manager the sdio card reader and then refresh the wifi and the card running.
PS: excuse me for my english

WPI_exe file no longer exist

[Q] Teathering with 64 bit Windows 7

Does anyone know if there are any 64 bit Windows 7 drivers available for the modem in the Samsung Focus? It works fine with Win XP and Win & 32 bit OS.
Thanks!

After the drivers fail to install, one of the diagnostic messages in the Action Center gives you a link to download them from Samsung (the filename is 20070813082717640_Samsung_USB_Driver_Installer.exe, but I didn't save the whole URL). Follow this link and download the file (approx. 8 MB), then run it. It'll extract drivers into Program Files (x86)\Samsung\Samsung PC Studio 3\USB Drivers. After that, open device manager and right-click on the error-flagged SGH-i917 device and choose update driver, then manually select that folder (include subfolders). Do the same for each of the other two devices that is detected and fails to install after that.
Edit: Forgot to mention, in that driver install process, there are unsigned driver warnings - you'll have to tell windows that yes, it's OK to proceed and install them.

I have already loaded that software. I dont see the phone in the device manager. All I shoe is Windows Phone USP and when I try to update it says I already have the best driver installed. .....any suggestions?

Just uninstalled everything and reinstalled.....followed your instructions and everything worked fine.....
Thanks bkaul!!

I used these and they worked great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9148079&postcount=11

couldn't get anything working until i tried adding this to the advanced settings of the modem:
For Motorola and Samsung devices:
AT+CGDCONT=3,"IP","isp.cingular" or "Broadband".
NOTE: This instructs the device to use CID "3", set the protocol as "IP" and use the APN "isp.cingular" or "Broadband".
and a side note, anyone who tether a lot, have you guys have issues with your reception afterwards? Unless San Jose, CA coverage dramatically got worst, i went from 4 bars to 1 in my bedroom, and places i used to get at least 1-2 bars, i get 1 or the dreaded no service "cancel" sign.
I'm thinking my focus got too hot and the antenna is dying but i'm not sure

I am adding to my post above. I used the drivers I linked to above on my netbook and DO NOT have zune installed and they worked fine.

Also i had this problem when i installed mi7 rom of DFT on my windows 7 64 bit. I tried re-install MAGLDR v2.0 but my windows 7 64 bit couldn't install ss focus driver (before i install DFT rainbow rom on windows 7 32 bit). However i found a solution as follow:
- Switch the phone into MAGLDR mode by pressing the power button>, <volume ->, <camera key>
- Connect the phone with PC by USB cab
- Windows 7 64 bit will auto searching and installing ss focus driver (maybe you will have to try several times, driver will be installed successful)

[Q] Update questions (2.1) (2.2)

Hi forum - I updated my GT540Go to 2.1-update 1. V20a a few months ago using the kdz method and i think i rooted it, I have the superuser icon but some apps say i still need root access??? and would like to go to 2.2 openswift (newest version with most bugs fixed) with recovery and overclock.
Now when i connect to PC Suite IV it says i have an update available so my first question is what will it update my phone to if i do it?
I have now read/watched everything i can find about flashing to 2.2 but it all still looks too complicated, Is there a proper step by step guide anywhere that i can use with some confidence?
Please help me and others like me who are confused how to use ADB and SDK
Thanks.

Best to wait until OpenSwift is out of beta and is nearly complete then install. Really no point in upgrading now if you don't know how to do it.

I am a newb and managed to flash to 2.2 with a guide I found at the android forums. Would be happy to post it here if it might help.
Love the new rom its faster and aside from camera not saving pics and no screen calibrator it is fine.

This is a guide I followed from another forum, and posted elsewhere with some minor additions in case anyone had problems.
The guide is from a forum post at the android forums,it is NOT my work, the added bits are mostly what I have found from browsing here and from asking questions. While I can't be held liable if you mess your phone up having done so myself I thought this could helpa few people and save them searching various threads for answers so hope it helps
The guide
To install this ROM you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. If you have Android 1.6/2.1 installed from LG, then fastboot is not enabled. I will explain how to enable fastboot on your phone (this involves re-flashing/replacing your currently installed firmware):
I am unable to post links yet so you will have to copy and paste the appropriate link into your browser replacing the ** with tt
KDZ Updater Carphone Warehouse Unlocked.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/7aRTc - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash to Android version 2.1 with fastboot (Carphone Warehouse Unlocked)
KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/BOcYT - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash toAndroid version 2.1 with fastboot (Europe Open)
Download the version that best applies to you, if you live in the UK, I'd recommend you download the Carphone Warehouse Unlocked version, whereas if you live in Europe, I'd recommend the Europe Open version (simple right? )
I live in the UK and used the open rom from Europe as the Carphone Warehouse rom would not install
Now, how to flash these versions; I'll explain in detail how to flash the ROM's from starting with backing up.
Instructions to install ROM with Fastboot:
1. Before you start, make sure you backup all your data by installing the z4root.1.3.0.apk file onto your phone, then open it and choose 'Permanent Root'. Your phone will root and reboot. Then go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete.
If you have a problem with this try a different rom, this guide offers two to choose from.
Instructions to install CyanogenMod:
Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot, what you need to do is power off the phone and whilst the phone is off, press and hold the 'Camera' button all the way ANDpower on the phone, make sure you hold the 'Camera' button. The phone will display the LG logo and disappear, then display a blank screen. The phone is now in fastboot mode!
Now you want to download this file: Flashing CyanogenMod.zip and extract it to a folder called 'Android' (without the quotes '') on the C: drive (you'll probably need to make this folder yourself.
1. Now open CMD with administrator privileges (Search for CMD in the start menu and right click on 'cmd' and click 'Run as Administrator' )
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable and wait for the necessary drivers to install.
If when connected with a usb cable the computer says "waiting for device" and nothing else happens try installing the fastboot drivers. You can do this by going to the control panel of your pc, from the Windows start menu, opening the list of devices and where you see the one representing your phone (likely, as was the case with me, it will say android and have a yellow exclamation mark over it). Different versions of Windows do things slightly different but what you need to do is simply update the driver by choosing the icons properties box choosing UPDATE or INSTALL DRIVER and when asked pointing it to the folder where you unzipped the drivers.
3. Then go back to the cmd window and type:
Code:
cd C:\Android
(i) Then type:
Code:
fastboot.exe -w
(ii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe erase system
(iii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
(iv) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
(v) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe reboot
4. Your phone will now reboot with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1). The first boot might take longer than a normal boot.
If your phone stays at a blank screen you simply forgot to do one of the above steps, in which case simply repeat them. It is likely if that happens that you simply forgot the flash boot image instruction.
5. You can now re-insert your SD card and go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Mount SD Card
Enjoy!
The instructions for flashing both the firmware with fastboot and flashing CyanogenMod are included in the zip archives called 'Readme'. I'll update the links so that you'll always have the most up to date version of CyanogenMod available for download, note that if you choose to update your phone you will loose all your data including apps etc. so backup before you update
And that, with a few comments added by myself, is the guide.
Once you have set your phone up the way you want power off your phone. Hold the HOME and POWER buttons down while the LG logo appears and you will see a menu appear on screen.
Using the volume down key to navigate the different menu choices, and the camera button to select an option choose the BACKUP OR RESTORE option and from the sub menu that it will give you choose BACKUP.
This will make a backup of your phone AND all your data, if you ever mess up an update or think you have damaged your phone in the future simply holdthe POWER and HOME buttons down and when the menu appears choose the RESTORE option

Perfect.

I believe it was 6.0 marshmallow. I do know that its no longer working for the newer version. I havent look into it but the idea is to get pass any screen that would allow you to install the apk via. 3rd party you can frp reset with the same apk file. (sometimes requiring you to push different buttons in certain order or speed)

True. I've watched the video a few times, and the goal is just to get to the place where you can interact with the phone and run that file. I want to say I made it most of the way through this method before, when I first started. But I was only beginning. So I didn't know about ROMs, and versions, and such. Now, i realize it wouldn't work because I had 7.0 and the menus and such differ. Anyway, off to try again. Sigh.

2. Install (in your smartphone) USB Gadget Tool (https://f-droid.org/es/packages/net.tjado.usbgadget/) and check this modes: ( cser.dun.O , diag.diag, diag.diag.mdm , ffs.adb , gsi.dpl , gsi.rmnet , qdss.qdss , qdss.qdss.mdm )
3. adb shell su setprop sys.usb.config diag,diag_mdm,adb
4. Disconnect and connect your phone usb cable.
5. Go to Control Panel – Device Manager. You will see some unknown device. You should look at the so-called "Oneplus 8T", ignore the others.
Right click on the first "Oneplus 8T" –> Update Driver –> Browse my computer drivers -> Let me pick form a list of available drivers -> Click on I Have Disk -> Show all devices, browse then go to the Qualcomm Drivers that you download earlier. Then do the same to the other "Oneplus 8T". Choose 9018 for both unknown "Oneplus 8T"..
6. Add both ports in QPST Configuration. Only one of them is the one you are going to use. By clicking on EFS Explorer you will know which one it is by seeing X55 Driver in the description.
7. Change carrier_policy and carrier_policy.xml_Subscription01 files
8. adb reboot
stuck on step 5

Hmmm... You do have the regular drivers for the device installed as well, correct?
(ADB) works? Try this - (Let me know if you need 32 bit installer) No need to disable driver signing enforcement.

64bit - If it needs a password it's GADGETSDOCTOR
If you're getting into the use of Qualcomm engineering tools check out the fine work of KL Joachim Schepke and the #u100 Crew to make QXDM5g and the accompanying Tools available, search QXDM5 , also includes driver autoinstaller.
Uninstall the old ones and reboot first, go actually delete the directory, Qcomm doesn't uninstall very cleanly.
Let me know how it goes,

I have tried this and no luck, this is preventing me from using msm to convert my 8t and possibly unbrick if needed. No matter how I install these drivers this is what I get after reboot
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"
msi laptop running windows 10 latest update

i was able to get device manager to show the device(kb2005) and update/install the driver for that....however, it does not show another kb2005 device, just shows 2 'unknown device'. when i try the update/install driver for the 'unknowns', i get the windows has encountered an error message
with only the one driver installed(shows qualcomm android modem 9018 in device manager under modems tab), i still cant get qpst tools to work without both drivers. in qpst, it shows the correct driver installed as active phones and shows under ports tab....and theres no port to add with add new port

Sorry I was traveling for a little bit - did you get this handled? Sounds to me like you need to make sure that your USB & or wireless debugging is active and not just charging, you can change it on your notifications to transfer files or something like that

Trying to get these drivers installed on windows 10 machine but no matter which driver i choose it always pops up "windows encountered an error while installing driver". im trying to get into qpst file explorer to see the policy_man folder for the carrier policy. im on havoc rom 11 and there is no engineer mode(*#801, *#800) or log kit since im not factory rom. ive tried disable driver signature verify under advanced restart on the pc....no luck same error. ive tried disable secure boot in bios on pc....same error.

What did you do specifically to get this working? I'm having trouble on Step 5 as well and I can't detect a device.

Have you tried disabling Driver Signing Enforcement when booting into Windows and then installing the driver?

#3 command should start like this:
adb shell
su
setprop....
Also disable Driver Signing Enforcement, as you'll have to install driver every time you want to use QPST, with it enabled.
