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
Hi all,
I just got HTC shift and decide to install WinXP for faster response
Find this thread, but link for WPI below is dead

Hi Guys
I can connect my Leo via active sync and sync it with outlook, or add files to sync via the same method. But when I want to explore my device via my computer I can only view files. That goes to Leo itself and SD card. When I connect Leo as Diskdrive I can edit files on SD card.
Sorry, under Windows 7 Sync Centre I can create folders and copy files under Computer/"mydevice" on both the device itself and the memory card when connected using the phone's ActiveSync connection. I'm guessing you're using Vista or XP? Some helpful person here may ask you to confirm.
I use 7 as well.
However I had no problems with XDA Orbit/Orbit2, HTC Touch Diamond 2 under XP/Vista and 7. It is only HD2 that has a problem there.
Seems like drivers to me.

Well I want to re-arrange my start menu using my laptop. I active sync it and navigate to my device\windows\start menu\programs. In there if I try to move/copy/delete/create new files/folders/shortcuts I get access denied. I want to copy more wallpapers to my documents\wallpapers and get the same error.
I want to copy files to my SD card and get access denied. I can open the files, like music or pictures, to view but that is it.
I also can not copy any files out of the device to desktop.

Getting "access denied" seems to indicate you do not have the proper authority to access the files. This is just a wild guess, but you may try it anyway. Right click on the Windows Mobile Device program, and check properties. There is an option to run the program as administrator under the Compatibility tab. Maybe this will give you the authority you need to access these files. For me, no problems, running Windows 7 Ultimate, 64 bit.

I am really curious about the logical steps you used to reach the conclusion that his laptop is infected, and why you suggest the only solution is to reinstall Windows. Even if his computer were infected, is not reinstalling Windows a rather extreme solution? Surely a good antivirus program or running HouseCall is a much more reasonable solution.
So basically you can browse the folders of the SD and the storage, but you cannot process any files.
Other than the protected shortcuts (most of the supplied shortcuts are system and readonly) I do not have any access problems via activesync.
Is your USBtoPC set to ActiveSync?
I installed windows 8 on my Lenovo thinkpad and chose the overwrite option when installing. For some reason in my computer tab, it still says windows 7 and my hard drive is overloaded with both os's. How can I delete the windows 7 OS and reinstall windows 8? Any help will be appreciated.

Thread probably got moved already (thanks, mods).
The only really "correct" way to install a copy of Windows to replace another copy of windows is to format the hard drive in between. First, back up all the files you'll wnat to keep - this process completely removes them. If you have a separate data drive, you can keep it around and/or move files to it. Insert the bootable media (flashdrive, DVD, whatever), reboot in such a way that it boots off the install media, choose an "advanced" install, then delete all the existing partitions (you may need to select "advanced" drive options to see the delete option) on the install disk, select the resulting empty space, and choose to install there. Win8 will set up its own (pretty sane) partition scheme and install itself; on most machines the process takes about 15 minutes. Afterwards, you'll have to go through the usual process of setting up your account, downloading apps, restoring those files you backed up, etc.
It was in windows RT general when I posted.
The notion of a "clean install" may be headed the way of the dodo, as standalone software would have no place under MS' new "devices & services" strategy.
With pervasive connectivity assumed, there's no need for a standalone ISO (which itself is antiquated, as many devices now don't have optical drives). OEM PCs already come with a "bound" version of the OS. White-box/custom-built PCs can install OS from online via a download-manager stub. The installed copy is then activated and bound to the particular device. This would enforce licensing and wipe out piracy in one stroke. With continuous updates, any exploit can be patched by the next update cycle.
OS updates will become a service. MS can use the XBL model and have a free tier for bug/security updates, and a paid tier for feature updates. With the app store being mandatory to buy apps, users' payment data would be on file, facilitating any monetizing effort.
Most of these are already in place. MS only needs to flip the switch and kill the standalone (ISO) software. I'm projecting it may take place as early as Win9 release next year.
Hello...
I just set up a Windows Phone developer account and registered my phone (HTC 8x) as a developer unlocked phone.
I have build an app with PhoneGap build and I can download the .xap, but I have yet to figure out how to install it.
Using a QR Reader asks if I want to search the store for something to open the file.
I've seen tutorials on how to build a PhoneGap app within Visual Studio.
I haven't seen any means of installing it from PhoneGap Build, though.
Any ideas?
JJ
The SDK installs a tool called Application Deployment on your PC. Run that, connect your phone via USB, and use it to sideload the XAP.
Man, it would be great if you could install them directly from the PhoneGap site (like iOS and Android - I haven't tested Blackberry).
Having to do it from a computer that has, at least, a Core i5 CPU and Visual Studio is kind of jacked.
Also, I can only have 3 developer devices on my account.
Apple allows 99, I think.
Of course, Android doesn't even require to to register a device (just turn on the "install unapproved apps" feature.

You do not need SLAT (i5 CPU) to side load things.
That is for emulators only.
There is homebrew to do that on WP7. We'll just have to figure out a way on WP8. It's not very hard, once we can get the needed permissions.

Well, that's handy to know.
It would still be nice to not require Windows 8 and Visual Studio just to install an app.

And don't need to be a W8, you can install xap's on Windows 7.

Has anyone been able to do this on Windows 7 x64 machine ? I am sure I am just missing something...
I downloaded "Windows Phone Power Tools" after installing .NET 4.5 but, it just gives me an error of "Unable to install or run the applications. The application requires that assembly Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Accembly Cashe (GAC) first." when I attempt to run it..
As most of us know, SDK 8.0 REQUIRES Windows 8, I would love to be able to install XAPs on Windows 7 so I don't have to reboot my PC to use my Windows 8 partition just to install a quick XAP time to time. I can't download or find where to download the full install to extract a few fles as said in the directions...
Any idea to get this installed ?
I didn't get it working with my Windows 7 workstation.
I have a Windows 8.1 laptop, so I just use it.
Being able to do it at work would be nice, though.

You can install the WP8 SDK on Windows 7...it works just fine. The secret that Microsoft doesn't want you to know is that the WP8 SDK can be installed on Server 2008 R2...Server 2008 R2 is based on Windows 7 x64. Therefore, it will work with no issues.

Hi there
here is an example how you can easy backup your favorite apps to your pc
Be sure your Samsung ativ S is fully unlocked and full filesystem access.
1: install your favorite app from the store
for this example we use the trail version of AppoinTile ( so i do NOTHING illegal !!! )
2: connect your fuly unlocked samsung ativ s to your pc
3: then goto your favorite app directory (in this test the trail version of AppoinTile)
This PC\Samsung ATIV S\Phone\Data\programs\{DDE4E2AC-9EA5-4B05-8BBD-CB7867B01D9C}\Install
3: copy all the content to a map on your pc (in this test case 25 files)
4: go on your pc to that new created directory and REMOVE the file WMAppPRHeader.xml
5: now select all files and ZIP the files with winrar of 7zip
6: now rename the file .zip to .xap and you have now backupped your favorite app.
i hope you can use it to backup your favorite apps.
good luck with it

I wouldn't count on that . Most apps do have code to check whether the production version of their app has a valid PlayReady header file and will cease to function otherwise.
Personally I succeed to backup/restore the trail version of Appointile by removing the WMAppPRHeader.xml AND MDILFileList.xml if not I've got an “Error-deployment optimization failed with error “unable to read input file”...”
But I don't succeed with others apps (like oneshot) I've always “Error optimization failed due to an invalid assambly. Rebuild your source projects and try again”.
Indeed apps must have a code to check.
Did the path changed after GDR3 update???
this will also make it "not-a-trial" anymore, since you de-associated the xap with the license
How do you get the data folder to show up on PC please?
First your Ativ S needs to be unlocked. Then you need to activate Full USB file system access.
You can do this easily with WPH Tweaks or SamWP8 Tools.
Then just connect it via USB to your PC.
Is possible install your files .xap in my phone or your files .xap is only for your phone?
Thanks.

Try with SamWP8 Tools by -W_O_L_F-
In "TWEAKS", check 'Full FS Access', reset your device and plug it via USB to PC (still does not work); reset again. unplug it from PC and plug it, again. Wait a minute. Now it should work well
@lomax50: Have you managed to get that working on GDR3? If so. please give *exact* steps to reproduce. Start from as "normal" a state as you reasonably can (full access turned off, limited MTP access working over USB), and go through the full steps. If you disconnect the phone, note it. If you reboot without logging in, note it. If you bring the phone out of sleep before plugging it in, note it. If you turn the phone on before plugging it in, note it. If you log in (unlock phone), note it. I've tried many times and cannot get this working on GDR3. There is no *clear* reason why it shouldn't work, either, although the whole thing was pretty rickety before too.
It's working for me now on GDR3....
I don't have to restart to get it working, the only thing i have to do is to
uninstall the Ativ S from the Windows Device Manager and it will show up as "MTP-USB-Device"
I don't restart my PC it's working anyway
then just unplug the phone and replug it... wait a little bit and it should show up in the Windows Explorer.
Hope this also fixes it for you.
