Installing XP on Shift by (dproldan) With Control Center for XP By me

This was made by dproldan but i added a control center for bluetooth and wireless for disabling and enabling them.
With these instructions you can install any version of windows XP, SP2 or SP3. It doesn´t need to be a tablet edition. I recommend using a lite or optimized version.
As far as I know, only two things are not working, resolution changer and tablet input panel. Both will be fixed soon.
You have to install Activesync too if you want to access the other half of your Shift.
Thank you to all the people who contributed on the other thread!
Enjoy!

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Synaptics\SynTP\TouchPadPS2]
"ExButton2PlugInID"="SynTP"
"ExButton2Action"=dword:00000000
"ExButton2PlugInActionID"=dword:00000005

QUESTION...
Just an honest simple question: Why would anyone want to install XP on the Shift with limited functionallity, when you can install Windows 7 RC with FULL functionallity and BLAZING SPEED????
Everytime I use my shift with Win 7, I end up with a smile on my face. Yes, it is really THAT good!

video driver doesn't work for me.. i don't know why...supid htc computer...

Worked fine for me! The only thing I had to do differently was use the msi file instead of the exe with the fingerprint software.
I also had a bit of trouble with the XP installation but I used an EEE USB install procedure and had to mess with the bios a bit to get rid of the hal.dll issue.
edit: holocantus, the wlan adapter doesn't always show up instantly when you push the 'on' button. I've had to switch it on and off a couple of times before it worked.

hi
how can I run htc control center with the button on the right side
I tried right on shortcut, properties, shortcut, shortcut key
but it didn't work
i can run it with some buttons on keyboard but not with the original key
can someone help

Getting Nexus One ADB/USB Mount working (Driver)

Download This file and extract.
hit Windows Key + r
Type in devmgmt.msc
right click on nexus one
click update
update from location on computer.
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.
Type in devmgmt.msc
right click on nexus one
click update
update from location on computer.
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.

Magic no recognised on Windows 7

Ive just installed Windows 7 on my PC and its great! However, my Magic doesn't seem to work with it...I just get that 'USB device not recognised' message"!
Does anybody else get this?

not work with window 7
yes dear i got the same prob with window 7.i think htc sync not work with windows 7

i got the same problem. however there is a workaround. you could google for a zip file containing the driver files (not an installer) and install them using "Device managers". that will connect the Magic, and you can adb with it. And no, even with that HTC Sync does not work.

Install the drivers and it will be recognize. I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and no probs connecting to MT3G.

I have a 64 bit Win7 and i installed vista x64 driver and it works fine

Just found these drivers for Windows 7. Installing them now so will let you know if they work!!

I had to go to Printers and devices or whatever it's called, then right click on Android phone, choose properties (with admin access) and driver. Then update driver for the phone itself (currently it probably say Dream or something) and always choose to browse to the file manually. Then click to get a list of compatible drivers, and then click "HAVE DISK" (this is the only way I got it to work) and browse to the driver files for Windows 7 in
C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64
and it should work.

I don't seem to have 'Andrioid' in my Devices & Printers. Not really sure why but i'll have a little play around with a few settings and see.

I have confirmed this to fix my "unrecognized" usb device driver issues in the past.
1. Uninstall whatever you can related to previous failed driver installs for the USB device.
2. Shut down the PC
3. UNPLUG THE POWERCORD
4. Unplug your USB device, if not allready unplugged
5. Plug the power cord back in
6. Boot the machine and log back into windows.
7. Let it fully load then reboot again.
This will attempt to give you new IRQ's and DMA's for the usb port.
Now try your driver installation.

i`ve had the same problem
my solution...
settings -> SD card & phone storage -> unmount sd card
remove SD Card and insert the card again...
after that , everything works fine...

This technique has definately fixed the 'unrecognised' problem! Still can't open up my phone as a removable drive in My Computer though, but its a good start! HTC Sync also still can't recognise it. Thanks for help I'm sure this'll help a lot of people with Windows 7.

Install USBDeview (google it) and find any listed driver (with the phone disconnected) related to the words Android, HTC, Dream (you get the picture) and uninstall if you need to remove USB-drivers for the phone. Then you can plug it back in "fresh" and use new drivers.

With the latest versions of Android, USB Mass Storage has been disabled. You might want to try the USSD code *#7284# as described here:
