[Q] Windows phone device Manager - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

Hello,
is someone can explain me if its possible to use Wpdevice manager with xp , i want to use png icons fot my phone but impossible to install. Is an other way ?

che44,
AFAIK, you cannot use WP Device Manager directly on the WinXP OS. One option to run WP Device Manager would be to use a virtual machine as follows:
01. Install any virtualization software like VMWare, VirtualBox etc. on your WinXP.
02. Install Windows 7 as a guest operating system in the virtualization software.
03. Install all the necessary software like Zune, phone drivers etc. in Win7.
04. Enable USB ports in virtualization software so that your phone is detected in the guest Win7 OS when connected via USB.
05. Install WP Device Manager in Win7 and use it to manage your device.
If you are unfamiliar with using virtual machines, you could read up on it at http://lifehacker.com/5204434/the-beginners-guide-to-creating-virtual-machines-with-virtualbox

Can't flash wizard can flash hermes?

I'm using vista home and have flashed many a rom on my hermes with wmdc after following the steps here:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
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.

Odin and Kies in linux

Not so long ago I became linux mint user. Many of the necessary programs and games runs without problems in Wine. But I couldn't connect my galaxy note through wine. So I find another way to connect it with odin through VirtualBox. I wrote a small guide:
- Install VirtualBox.
- Download windows xp or windows 7 ISO image install disc. For example, you can download windows 7 trial 90 day from microsoft.com. If you have a disc with windows installer you can use it. I personally prefer windows xp micro edition (250mb).
- Start VirtualBox. Add virtual machine, choose your ISO image or real CD-ROM if you have disc. Install windows with the recommended settings.
- When the installation is complete, and windows will boot to desktop you will need to install drivers. Connect USB flash with drivers to your virtual machine or create virtual network disc to linux and drag these drivers (mirror1, mirror2) to windows.
- Intall drivers.exe in virtual machine.
- Move odin to your virtual machine same way. And start it.
- Reboot you galaxy note in download mode and connect to usb. Press USB indicator in the bottom menu of virtualbox and choose your samsung connection.
If you are doing everything right you will see this:
You can also try Heimdall. It has linux port.
Kies should work fine same way.
I found humdall to be much more reliable and easier than Odin

This is correct.

[Q] Windows does not detect my phone

Hey guys. I have a problem with my SGY. Windows does not detect it, tried different cables, but no luck. Running Windows 8.1.
I have also tried it with a different PC, with Win XP, it works. I also ran Live Ubuntu, it also detects it, so it's a problem in Windows.
Tried reinstalling Kies, USB drivers, but it doesn't help, no yellow triangles in Device Manager.
Odin does detect the phone while it is in Download Mode, it is in COM3.
Does anyone know what to do here?

Follow my instructions for how to get windows 8.1 to recognise your phone - links in my signature
Basically
Install Samsung USB drivers from my firmware thread
Remember in Windows 8.1 you have to run the setup in compatibility mode - right click the setup file - click properties - select compatibility tab - select run this programme in compatibility mode for - select windows xp sp3 - apply
Run the setup - it will now run & install
Plug your phone into the rear USB port (any if on laptop)
Now plug in any other USB device that you have already installed eg a USB mouse dongle
Windows 8.1 will now detect your phone

Don't use a usb 3.0 port, try a 2.0.
Did you try to run WinMo device manager in compatibility mode for Win7?

Problem is still continue. I try USB 2.0.
In windows 10 it was once connect with HTC Touch 2, what I try. But Riftek PDA still nothing. And HTC have too problem, after PC restart.
Win 7 in VirtualBox have problem too, with WIndows Mobile and CE connect. It wrote me error with USB sync driver, code 10. But driver install was from MS Update.

I've never had problems connecting my WinMo device to my computers.
Before WinMo device manager there was Active Sync, if I'm not wrong it works on Win XP only.
I don't use virtual machine very often, if I insert a usb pendrive to my pc I can't see it on my virtual machine obliviously, you need to change settings for the virtual machine and so on. In the worst case I suggest you to install a lite version of Win7 alongside the main Windows installation on your computer

Yes I have not problem too, but last 2 update make big problems with WMDC under Windows 10. Only solution what I see is, found old NB and run Windows 7/8 on it.
Or is it possible run Win CE 6.x app from this PDA on WIndows Mobile device with WIndows 6..1/6.5? I try it, but i got error. But I think it with little editing it is possible run it. But how?

If the applications are standalone i.e. do not require installation, they will work.
Some of them will require setting the compatibility mode to Windows XP.
