Windows 7 RC

Anyone running this? and if so, how does it work as far as development stuff goes. I just dont want to lose ADB and everything. I have a spare HDD lying around so I may just swap them out and install on there, or I could fix my old laptops LCD and get that system running with windows 7... regardless, I want to try before i buy lol
anyone got their own $.02?
PS- mods feel free to move this to the correct forum if need be, I wasnt sure where I would post a question like this as it regards to the Dream and the computer side of things...

I learned how to use ADB on Windows 7 and been using it ever since.

sweet... i am downloading the RC now soooooo... any pointers/advice... lol
only downside I am seeing down the road is having to/wipe/re-install the actual release and not just being able to upgrade... i tried doing a seperate partition, but my computer wont let me shrink my C:\ only my Recovery (E:\)

Everything works on my x64 install (and it's where I do all my development), and I assume RC will work the same.

I was originally using Vista Home Premium and am now on the 7 RC. First off, there was a small problem applying to a group of Vista users that caused them to have a lot of problems installing ADB drivers, me included, in fact it was so screwed up I ended up completely messing up my computer and having to do a system restore and after a few hours was finally able to get it to install. Once I installed Windows 7 RC, I connected my G1, went to Device Manager, clicked on the G1 and installed the ADB drivers, and done. However, for me, I am unable to mount my phone as a mass storage device to access the SD card, in order to do this, I have to disable USB debugging on my phone, and it works, then reenable it again later to use ADB.

You shouldn't need to back anything up. Windows 7 RC doesn't require a clean install, it can back everything up for you.

Right, but one of the reasons i backed up now was so that when Windows 7 is actually released, i wont have to do it then seeing as how it will be in the middle of a semester for school and such. The 7 RC installs an "upgrade" so I should be in good shape as far as directories and all that go right? meaning i wont have to go into windows.old to find items i have downloaded and flashed to my current build on my g1.... they should be preserved... i would think...

They will be, and that is a good point as Microsoft doesn't offer an upgrade to Windows 7 OEM from RC, which is a bit annoying.

so i told myself before i started the install that if i got one error, i would stop right there and exit setup... a quarter of the way copying files it stopped and said that the files could not be copied blah blah... i think i may just wait til the OS goes public and upgrade then =P
mods feel free to trash this thread now... thanks to all you guys that chimed in to help!

I use virtual box or vmware and "xp pirate edition" to do all my adb work...

[Q] Issues with updating DVP from 7720 to 8773 !?

Sup everyone,
I finally got around to updating my TMO DVP. It's been stuck on 7720 this whole time and want to bring it up to Tango.
My question is: what exactly are the steps to upgrading???
Here are the threads I'm trying to follow in order:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736993
From what I understand it:
Install Windows Phone Support Tool
Install WP7 Backup 1.6
Install WP7 Update Cab Sender
Then???
I don't get it. I've installed WP Support tools which doesn't make sense. I have Win7-64bit. The downloads available are x86 or amd64. My computer is intel based, so which do I use? x86 doesn't install, makes sense. I installed amd64.
My next problem is, are there different versions of WP Support Tools? My Zune is up-to-date 4.8.2345.
After installing WP Support Tools:
WPSupportTools.exe is version 0.0.0.0, date modified 4/1/11
UpdateWP.exe is version 6.1.7600.16385 date modified 4/1/11
Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DeviceUpdate.dll is version 4.7.1404.3 date modified 4/1/11
When I run WP Support Tool, I get:
UpdateWP version 4.7.1404
Error: The installed version of the tool (4.7.1404) needs to be updated to match the Zune version (4.8.2345). Please install the tool version 4.8.2345.

It's been a while since I did this. But you did right, AMD64 is correct. And try the file I attached as that's the newest version to match your Zune software. Let us know if you run into anything :good:
(and no, I didn't create the file. I just have it archived from a working cab sender upgrade so credits go to the original poster)

Ok,.
So I installed WP Support Tools.
Copied the files you gave into the Zune directory.
Copied WP7 Backup 1.6 into the Zune directory.
Tried running a backup.
Attached is the error message I got.
I tried the cmd method and that gave the same error.

GoodDayToDie said:
I ran into this issue too.
First question: Is your Zune install in the default location? The support tool installer seems kind of... stupid. It always installs in \Program Files\Zune even if Zune isn't actually installed there. You can copy the files from that location to wherever Zune is installed, if not. Be careful of overwrites.
Next question (really the important one, but the question above can be the reason for the problem): Is there a file called wm7updatelib.dll, or similar, in the folder with your UpdateWP.exe? If so, is it the same version (exactly, down to the build number)? If not, you may need to re-install the support tool (I suggest uninstalling it first, using appwiz.cpl).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Looking at this post.
I have wm7update.dll (not wm7updatelib.dll). It is file version 1.0.0.1 /product version 7.0.0.0.
Can you post the right library file?
Thanks
-
Attached are a list of my files and versions in Zune folder. (Ignore the dual Microsoft and UpdateWP, I just added garbage text to the originals)

Backing up now.
Copied the files attached.
wm7update.dll
Interop.wm7updatelib.dll
Interop.ZuneWmdulib.dll

I've just update to 8773 myself as well. However, I want to ask you a question: whether we could re-write the firmware version also? My OS version is 7.10.8773.98, but firmware is 2250.1800.7720.219.

No idea. I noticed that too, but haven't seen anything about it just yet.

Yeah, maybe it's not necessary enough for us to consider that. However, I just noticed that while updating via Zune, this firmware version string is changed, but not with CAB sender. So, I just guess there might be a way to do it by ourselves too!

please note that the firmware package contains the bootloader drivers etc.etc.
Dell will probably not update those any more. The latest o.s. updates are provided by microsoft and they don't include any drivers whatsoever.
As long as the OS version is the most recent, you're good.

[TOOL] rkBreakout v1.2 -- HUAWEI Ascend W1 jailbreak tool

It's dangerous if you don't know what it is.
You must read every instructions in the tool carefully.
I don't guarantee that I'll answer every questions about this tool.
W1-C00 and W1-U00 are both supported. W1-U34 is not confirmed, but it should be same as W1-U00 in theory.
XP is not supported, you need Vista and above system.
Tested only on China ROM GDR 0/1/2/3, but all ROMs are compatible in theory. If something wrong, post your phone's version and ROM version.
Only universal homebrew xap will work. Anything use Samsung service won't work.

The author has made best efforts on this tool to avoid these risks, but the author cannot be held responsible for any damages to your phone.

Hope I could help.

is there a bootloader fix option for w1-U34(GDR1 Windmobile-Canada ) . I tried your app with both u00 and c00 options andIt shows the phone in device manager and in step 4 "Phone Connected". But in step 5 it shows waiting for phone to restart, With an error message " Image download Failed. Cookie (if Present) not Received. Could you add an option of this model too, or is there a way to change it from u34 to u00.
P.S on a sidenote Great job on the app its pretty easy to use, I do get an error when I open it runtime error '53' - File not found, after I click ok opens the app not sure if im missing something or its a problem with the app

Any Huawei apps with Interop caps are possible to install like Memory managment?

Currently W1-U34 is not supported because partition struct is unknow.

No, Storage Manage need driver by Huawei. AFAIK only Russian ROM has driver support it.

You should details this jailbreak, most users do not know what expect after it. Anything new on menu, visible an partition hided before or Interop etc

U34 should be same as U00. You can try change a computer or reinstall QPST/Driver first. Some people said that 'cookie not present error could be fixed by using a winxp/another qpst windows driver'

The driver should be installed manually, do not use the driver system auto provided.
Don't try XP, the tool do not support it

? Windows 10 on a WinBook TW800

I have a WinBook TW800 from Micro Center. I wanted to load Windows 10 on it, has anyone on here done this? Maybe you can give me tips\pointers on how to go about doing this; is the update method better or would a clean install be the ideal way? Thanks for your help in advanced.

Well I got my answer today while trying to do it via the update way. I got an error that my tablet wasn't able to upgrade because the OS is compressed something about Boot WIM. SMH.

is it for free?

Issues
I'm having issues too. I don't think the 800 has enough space to do the install. The 801 seems like a better option due to the 16gb of storage, vs the 8gb on the 800.

I will try it this some time this week. Thanks.

No luck
Apparently I can't because the memory is full so I basically can't do anything with this POS. I can't back it up or restore it or add anything to it, it actually runs out of disk space when uninstalling stuff.

I successfully installed Windows 10 on my TW-801 I first installed internally (internal installation failed) and then installed again via the sdcard (so you have to burn the win image to the sdcard for the second install in addition to doing the download for the first install). The second time Windows 10 was activated. I am also running Ubuntu with VMWare on a virtual machine on this tablet. Windows 10 is alot better than 8.1 on this tablet. I think even though the internal installation fails it saves the Windows 10 activation code and the second install works because it is not a download and is directly from the cd or in this case the sd. Also, during the first download (that fails) two files are created on the c drive that I copied to the sdcard that I had already burned the win image on it - I don't know if that did anything or not.

I believe this error is related to having interop capabilities in one of the libraries included in your XAP.
is there another deployer tha would work? (i already tested WPV xap deployer, also, no luck with that)

i'm not correct, maybe it's impossible to move e&i into sd, sorry

nah, tested both tools and nothing

I tried full FS access by patching an old version of CustomPFD to see if i could replace extras&info directly from phone memory.
I think some directories are hidden so i could not find the directory where the apps use to be installed.
However, i found a directory with the OEM apps (touch, extra&info, etc), but it seems that it's there only to be applied after a hard reset or something like that, so just replacing files wasn't enough. Extras&Info wasn't the only app with Interop Caps, but almost any app that is under settings has that cap.
So i unistalled touch settings and downloaded it from SD then i used MetroCommander to replace the SD files the old way (before CustomWPSystem was created, lol). Got nothing but an endless "Loading..." screen, but i guess i did something wrong.
But technically (someone correct me if i'm wrong) we can do Interop+Caps unlock using some other app from settings, right?
I'm pretty sure i've seen a settings app with a lot of capabilities in the manifest, not just InteropCapabilities, i don't remember exactly but it had something to do with SMS

Well , i think that we just have to remain with vanilla wp 8.1 until they fix wp10 annoying bugs, everytime i think i found a work around for a bug, there appear more bugs, my fault though, i chose the fast ring...

Now that Groove supports gapless playback, i'm considering going back to W10M (downgraded last week to WP8.1). But it's a hard choice, it sure has nice features but some bugs are just too annoying.
Did they fix the screenshots not appearing in Messenger/WA bug in 10549?

any updates on this? i have WP8.1 Update 2 and i'm having the same issues, not being able to install extras&info to SD card. i read somewhere on reddit (i think) that someone found a method that works currently, but searching around, i can't seem to find out the procedure..
