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

Download This file and extract.

select that folder.

404 not found...

Updated sorry about that.

and what is ADB?

android device bridge (i think)
its a program on your PC that gives you control over your android phone. you can flash partitions, push/pull files, go to shell, etc.

It also gives you the ability to mount your sd card and use droid explorer.

I love you. Seriously...

It did for me.

Didnt accept that file for me in Windows XP

In order to use this in vista 64-bit or win7 64-bit put your computer in test mode like this:
-Start>Run>type CMD>Enter
-type "bcdedit /set testsigning on" without the quotes>Enter
-Reboot
-Computer should say "Test Mode" in one of the corners
Mine says it in the bottom right.

For the life of me i can't get this to work. Whenever I plug up the phone to the computer, windows automatically installs a driver. When I try to update, it says the best driver is already in use. ADB not working. Tried uninstalling and same cycle happens over and over. It must be something small and stupid that i'm missing, can anyone help out?
windows vista by the way 32 bit

Hmm any thought for linux users?

Never mind. I'm an idiot. (Don't forget to enable USB debugging!)

Got the nexus plugged in through USB in debugging mode, installed this driver. When I do adb remount I get error message: "error: device not found"
What am I doing wrong? Does this driver not work for Windows XP?

Getting Nexus One ADB/USB Mount working
I have downloaded & unzip the file. But what's the "hit Windows Key + r" you mean I need to run? And the rest of the comment below. Please kindly provide more details.

select that folder.
P.S. I'm using Windows XP. Eclipse simple can't detect my Nexus One phone even I have the USB debugging turn on. Please kindly help.

I'm getting the same problem, except I keep uninstalling the drivers and trying to use the ones I downloaded from here. I believe it is using the drivers I downloaded but cannot connect to the phone.
I have under device manager: a usb composite device that I cannot change, USB mas storage device, which I cannot change, and the Nexus one ADB driver which installed no problem. Still getting the same error, even with USB debugging clicked.
I keep trying to update the USB mass storage device and the usb composite device associated with the phone, but it keeps saying the best drivers are in use. The nexus one driver worked but still no adb.

[Q] Problem updating the ADB drivers

Hello,
Just an average XDA noob speaking here. Reason i'm creating this topic is because I'm having problems getting the ADB composite drivers right. Previously I've rooted a HTC Hero without any problems, but with my Huawei U8800 Ideos X5 I just can't fix it, I searched in all corners of the Internet. Below are my specs.
- Android 2.3.5
- Unbranded
I've also tried to root with SuperOneClick and by replacing the boot.img, but I can't get it to work because of the drivers.
When I get to recover mode (the pink/purple screen) it isn't showing me the IMAGE folder on my computer. Also tried to install new drivers for the ADB composite by using the H:/Mobile Partner disk on my phone but that isn't helping either. It says their isn't any new hardware found in the folder, but as you can see on the image, there are still exclamation marks. I Also uninstalled the drivers a few times and tried to re-install them but that isn't working neither. Firstly my phone was recognized as an Other device > Ethernet Controller in the device manager screen. But that was possible to solve by browsing to the H:\MobilePartner\Drivers folder.
By the way, when in recovery mode plugged in the computer, it shows me two drivers called "HUAWEI TECHNOLOGIES". I can't seem to find a good driver for those, they also show the !-mark.
Any help will be appreciated! :good:

What's the best way to do that? Just delete them from the device manager screen and letting them re-install automaticly by the phone? Or just download drivers from the internet and install it manually?

if u r doing manual driver installation, then its best to disallow auto-installation by windows..
delete all instances from device manager, or u may use an application called "USBDeview" to remove the usb drivers.. and i think this second way is probably doing it more cleanly..

Sorry for the late update, forgot about the topic... I threw away all the drivers, got the pinkpurple screen and connected to my pc. It's now missing this drivers when connected, Windows can't install them itself. Check the printscreen below.

Ok ty, I started over, deleted all the drivers and let Windows install the drivers themself. Still not working. I find it very strange why Android Composite ADB Interface pops up 4 times in the device manager... As you can see, he installed one by himself >> https://(w)(w)w.dropbox.com/s/lttgky3qozhraf9/kak4.png
I'll try your method.

Windows 10 and fastboot

So I reserved my free upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 7. I don't know if I'll go through with the update though, since I don't know if I'll be able to install the fastboot and flashboot drivers on it. Is anyone already using the preview with the drivers installed? Not that I flash very often anymore, but it's always a good idea to have the drivers ready in case something goes wrong. Any leads/ helps?

I've been running windows 10 since a couple months and flashtool works fine. Including fastboot. No issues whatsoever.

I can vouch for that too both flashtool and fastboot function perfectly on windows 10.

Exactly the same as windows 8, disable driver signature enforcement and install the drivers from the flashtoll drivers file and provided you have the rest of the files not fastboot and flashtool will now function fine

how do we do this? where's the link to do this ?

just google fastboot drivers for windows 8?

Hm, if you are able to install the technical or insider preview of win10, shouldn't you be able to install fastboot doing a headstand ? Just imho

I wasn't running the technical preview, was just waiting on the upgrade. I got the drivers installed on my old laptop which I had upgraded to windows 10, but now that I've bought a new laptop, I can't seem to find the driver package that just easily installed all the drivers for me. Need to find it now '

Windows 10 preview or even the official Windows 10 release, its the same process of installing the drivers. Disable signature verification.

To disable driver signature on Win10 machine:
1. Open Start > Settings
2. Go to Update & Security > Recovery
3. Under Advanced Startup select Restart Now
4. Once your computer has rebooted go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings
5. Click Restart. Finally, you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “7) Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.
Then PC will restart and you can install unsigned drivers without any problems.

did you get it working ?
best to delete the driver that it has seen and then replug it back in, make sure it uses the correct one, otherwise nkthjtwill work.
there's a few walk throghs on XDA and the web.

1. Disable driver signature
2. Install Oneplus usb drivers

It won't work unless you have windows media player installed on your os which I guess is not there since it is "N " version of windows instead of standard.

It doesnt work because Windows N has no media feature pack needed for MTP to work.
Download the windows 10 media feature pack and it will work.

All the above isnt completely true, just completely delete the driver for your found device, then install the driver as you've got from the web.
It'll install and be recognised, then just change from charging to MTP then it'll see the new driver, from that point you'll be in business, your interaction will make the difference.
