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

nope, already tried it and it refuses to install the usb driver. im getting really frustrated over here.

I was able to install the 'adb2' drivers that dzo posted on win7 x64. Check the new sourceforge site downloads.

Have not tried this just seen it. Looks like adb comes with it...http://www.softpedia.com/get/Mobile-Phone-Tools/Handset-Manager-for-Android-Series.shtml

CID unlock under WINDOWS 7 GUIDE

So I have figured how to do this, YAY, finally. without reinstalling OS.
You will need:
VMWare
WinXP installation disc (or image does not matter)
Artemis_USPL.zip archive
Activesync installation
Okay Install VMWare, make new virtual computer then install Windows XP on this computer.
Transfer all needed files to this computer.
Install Activesync
Connect phone, then connect it to virtual pc
run CID unlock
This should bypass problems with usb drivers in WIN 7 (VISTA) - 260 CONNECTION PROBLEM

I think it given a hardware problem

Thanks alot for sharing that driver! I didn't want to install a virtual computer only because of a not working driver. Finally my problem is solved.
But with Win 7 64 bit I still had to overcome the problem with the unsigned driver. I tied lots of things and finally got your unsigned driver working using this program:
"Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3b" you can find it on ngohq.com
Note: Read the installation instructions from the link above, it explains how to enable the Windows Test Mode and how to sign a system file.
Now ROM updating using Windows 7 x64 isn't a problem anymore.
Thys stuff should be pinned.

Windows 7 x64 unable to install drivers

struggling on what i thought was a fairly basic concept.
trying to unlock using davinci/simlock.
i've tried various drivers but nothing will install-
the abd drivers from the simlock website;
from the se developers website;
from a couple of forums where people confirm they work;
pc companion;
letting windows find and download.
everytime i get error message:
Windows was unable to install your SEMC USB Flash.
Windows could not find driver software for your device.
help! please

It is really strange. My win7 x64 has installed the drivers without any question. Have you got SP1?
Sent from my heart using a brain )

i did a system restore and rolled it back a couple of days and it installed first time. guess i messed something up somewhere. anyhoo now my X8 is unlocked

[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.
