Just curious if this is working for anyone. It didn't seem to work for changing the splash screen to the black HTC on my aku 2.3.1 ROM. I don't think I would try this on a complete ROM upgrade.
I'm wondering if this is due to Vista or the aku...
Well, it seems these attempts should be avoided as related by others....
I could not install Jesterz AKU2.2 on Vista yesterday. Kept giving me Error [260], i.e. the upgrade tool was losing connection with the device. Worked fine on XP pro this morning.
It could be related to the Mobile Device Center that replaces Activesync.
tried a downgrade yesterday evening on vista and it smashed my phone.
so i don't recommend it you can't get a "good enough" connection in bootloader from windows vista to the phone and active sync is not working anyway so that crap will be away by this evening. It seems to me vista is not yet ready. Good enough means that it shows on the phone that USB sign in the bootloader but the flash utility can't get a connection
cr0ssy, that's exactly what happened to me. In the bootloader I get the USB sign but the upgrade tool won't recognise the device. What I noticed was that Vista uses a different driver than XP. This new driver is what could be causing the problem.
hm maybe the old driver works on windows vista, too if just don't let it install automatically.
did you get the phone back to work?
I wonder if this has something to do with a move from NDIS- to a serial-based connection in Vista....
When in bootloader Vista recognises the device as Generic NDIS.
is yours back working kta? if, did you just put xp back on your computer and reflashed it in the bootloader? (or other computer)

Yes I then managed to flash the ROM from bootloader on another PC running windows xp.
mh did you flash then with the usual boot utility? is it possible to flash these customized roms which have a upgraderom.bat or something like that in bootloader mode? (don't want to expermient now that its not really working anymore)
sorry for getting a little bit offtopic
managed to upgrade without a problem on vista
which rom did you use and did you manage to install active sync?
phone is back working :> thanks kta
Yesterday I tried flashing my friend's Magician ROM on his Vista and had the same problem and had to use an XP laptop to flash. The upgrade utility program and others based on it (MaUpgradeUTNoID, etc.) seem to have a problem working with the new vista drivers.
without the beta Mobile Device Center, which you should downlad from MS, you can just access in explorer mode to your device, but you can not install anything to you device from vista. Just download the Mobile Device Center for Vista from the MS Page.

I have the Mobile Device Center installed and still have this problem.
the ROM upgrade tools do NOT work on vista (yet) there are several calls open with Microsoft to get this fixed, however I don't think it will be fixed in a few days seeing the speed of Microsoft......
For now, only update using windows xp
does the upgrade tools work on WinXP X64 edition?

I found two days ago that doing a WM6 ROM upgrade on my Jasjar via a PC running VISTA Ultimate, the device got stuck in BootLoader Mode.
I have Bootloader v2.01 on my device.
The only way to recover was to attach the Jasjar to a PC running XP and then start from scratch.
I tried it again today and got the same result!
I recommend NOT to upgrade ROM on a PC running VISTA.
I hope this helps someone, somewhere.
Thankyou to all the gods that walk amongst us monkeys.

can you give me any solution?

never upgrade your ROM in Vista 32 0r 64bit doesn't work at all or may kill your device.
Windows Xp is the way to update ROM
I upgrade fine using vista but you must use the guide to do it right
OMG it is finally updating. Using XP.
Got stuck in bootloader after trying to flash from Vista. Thought I "bricked" (as you guys almost universally put it) the thing. Fixes didn't work (I already had the USB Modem driver installed, mtty didn't see any USB connection, and so on...)
Connecting to an XP laptop and works perfectly.
In Vista, in the boot loader mode you have to use the old XP drivers dated 2004. When you put your Universal in the boot loader and connect to your PC under Vista, than under device manager the USB driver must be 2004. If not then you have to install the old 2004 driver.
KOR!
Ok here's the story,
I had an older version of windows mobile, really buggy and kept freezing all the time. So I Figured let's upgrade to a newer version! YAY.... But that kinda failed miserably, and now my phone is stuck in bootloader.
I Tried the MTTY Stuff but that won't give an USB Port under ports.
I Tried flashing in bootloader mode but I kep getting Error 101 and 150, meaning wether it can't find the phone and if it can find it it tells me the rom version isn't right for me.
I'm really sure the rom version is right for me, and my windows Vista starts installing Mobile Device drivers as soon as I plug the phone in so that's connected and all.
Only it won't update. Took everything out too, no SD No sim .. nothing.
Anyone, please reanimate my phone

"Windows Vista"..... uh huh
So it has been fixed, and yes I used windows Vista to do it... In your face vista uhuh guy!!!
I took the old windows XP drivers, deleted the vista one, installed the XP one, closed to device center, put it back on into boot mode.
Serial appeared, plugged in the USB and ran MTTY or something software. Selected USB that worked fine now
Typed the set 14 0 stuff pushed enter. shut down the program. and used the bootloader to install the latest and greatest Windows Mobile 6. All worked perfectly!!!!
So for the people with windows vista, just install the old windows XP drivers and you're ready to go, with out the loss of the latest technology
XP in Vista??
So, can you explain exactly how you installed the XP drivers into Vista... My Uni is pretty much the only reason I'm running a multi-boot system anymore!!
Any problems caused??
I tried to fight the Vista urge, but after having Ultimate installed on all the systems at work, I could fight no longer!!

So, I tried to use Parallels (running windows XP) on my Intel Imac to flash a Kaiser Rom onto my AT&T Tilt. I'm currently stuck on the bootloader. I think I did find a solution, but I need to wait 10 minutes til I can download another Rapidshare file. In the meantime . . .
I think I did everything right. HardSPL worked fine, but then, when I tried to flash Dutty's Dual v4 ROM, it stopped at 6% and told me there was a communication error. I tried it a few more times, tried Dutty's Touchflo Rom (that got to 4%) . . . still no luck. Same error. In between each try, I reset using the stylus and sometimes the stylus while holding down power and camera.
Am I doing something wrong, or was my mistake trying to do this via parellels?
Current screen says:
KAIS1*0 MFG
SPL-1.0.OliPof
CPLD-8
USB
Thanks, guys.
I can confirm that if you install xp via boot camp then you can flash fine on a mac. I haven't tried going through an emulator such as parallels though. It should work fine though as long as parallels has taken over the usb ports.
Yeah, the USB connection wasn't the problem. And, unfortunately, I don't have extra XP licenses lying around to bootcamp. my mac.
Anyone have any idea? I'll give you a cookie . . .
By the way
It is error 262 that I'm getting . . .
I went through bootcamp boot as well, I rather assumed that I was going to need direct access to the hardware rather than the pass through of parallels...
btw you can set up parallels to boot a bootcamp partition... so you can use the direct boot and parallels from the same installation.

I might have to look into that. My "solution" didn't work. I'm going to try to find the original ROM somewhere . . .

I am using Fusion instead of Parallels but this is what I do. I only have 1 copy of xp installed via bootcamp but I can also access it through Fusion.
I also have fusion on my MacBook Pro, and it failed when tried to flash. So I bootcamp and started XP and it flashed flowlessly
If you own original XP CD (like me) you can always call microsoft to activate, and since it is installed in 1 PC then fine (you'll have 1 license for parallel & another for Bootcamp)

Which version of parallels do you have? In version 5160 the usb flashing works fine, in 5582 it is broken, as is in version 5584. They had an special build 5582.5 which allowed me to flash my phone correctly and according to parallels, the "next" version will include those usb fixes.
I'm using the latest version 5584 and when I need to flash my phone, first i shut down windows vm, install parallels 5160 over the current version and then boot up windows. I ignore the installation of parallels tools and just flash my phone. Then shut down windows again, re-install parallels 5584 and all is fine again.
Hope this helps you...
that does. Do you mean the most recent update will work?
edit: never mind. the most recent is 5583. I'll try to find 5160

If you have a valid license for parallels, then you have a valid license to use bootcamp...
That said, I have flashed through parallels and vmware fusion TONS of times (about to do it again, in fact). So long as you've routed the "HIGH GENERIC RNDIS" device to the virtual machine it should work fine.
Hi
Just for the fellas having problems when upgrading to a custom or signed ROM on the HTC FUZE on a computer with windows 7 and windows mobile device center.
you MUST be online at the time of installing a new rom
so the windows update downloads the " qualcomm cdma technologies msm" driver that recognizes your FUZE when windows mobile " is not present ".
I don't think I was connected when I did mine.
And that was flashing the Energy rom onto my Fuze.
I can't remember 100%, but I'm ~80% sure I wasn't. Maybe I just got lucky?
EDIT: Though that wasn't the first time I'd flashed. Maybe that was the differentiating factor.

i'm guessing this is the first time you're flashing for W7, the phone goes to bootloader mode and requires drivers that can be gained from Windows Update... after the first time, if you flash again using the same USB port, you'll be fine... using another USB port requires installing drivers again but you'll have the drivers saved in the windows folder
Is there some trick to get customruu.exe working?
Also i have problem syncing, i can only get it working if i disable fast data syncing.
I'm running latest energyrom and win7 ultimate x64 rtm

yeah, i think thats the difference, i was using a tmobile MDA with WM 5 like 2 years ago, and used to install custom roms but back in the time i had dsl so i never had a problem doing it.
so, BTW, how fast is the Energy rom?
the one i have looks nice but i feel is very slow

not that i know, but i have win7 32 bits version, so maybe its has something to do with the 64 version
It could be that there are no 64bit drivers for the phone available. I use Win7 x32 and it is a hassle getting it first sync'd up. What I normally do is just put the phone in bootloader mode before plugging in the USB cable. That way it only downloads the drivers it needs the first time.
Usually takes me a few resets of the PC and a couple Mobile Device Center restarts to get it to start ticking. Perhaps try downloading the latest Mobile Device Center, even if yours is the latest... just install over the existing installation. That's worked for me a few times.
Is it your first time flashing? Is it a newer Fuze? Because the latest Fuze's have a newer bootloader that is 1.95 (vs 1.90). I haven't found a way around it yet unless perhaps flash an official AT&T rom that has the 1.90 bootloader that may downgrade it... then HardSPL.
Just to add, windows 7 64bit here and haven't noticed one difference or problem with anything.

Nah, had my raphael a long time, have flashed a couple of roms before, i'll try to put it in bootloader mode and let it install the driver, i'll keep searching for a customruu that works for 7 x64, Thanks for the reply
i got syncing working, uninstalled the driver for the mobile remote adapter, and let it download a new one from windows uppdate, and now it works, stange since it's the same driver as before...
I was having the same problem with windows 7 x64 and the fuze... found my solution elsewhere so i thought i'd post it here in case someone checks here first like me... I needed to install Windows Mobile Device Center to get the driver to work correctly with an active sync connection =)
I have W7 ultimate x64 and I can't flash either. But I don't mind. I just put the .nbh on the memory card, start up customRUU and it puts my phone in boot loader itself then installs the ROM off th ememory card.
even there's already a WMDC on win7, I tried to download it again from brothersoft, then it's update the driver..... done!
btw I'm using win7 x86, so I haven't tried on x64...

Nope, when RUU starts to do the upgrade, Conection fails on Windows XP mode, axactly the same on Win7. The solution? Good old fashioned Win XP.

When i used xp mode i found that in order to have a successful flash you must hard reset your phone before you flash, mount the device with the RUU running from the desktop, and once the RUU begins you must remount your device once it gos into the boot screen(it shows up as unidentified...but its the one highest up in the list)then your device will do its thing and then you magically have a new ROM! Hope this helps, and yes obviously Windows XP is a better solution but the thread is updating a ROM on Windows 7...
OK, i got it... im downgrading my PC to Windows XP SP3...
Thanks guys
no need to downgrade OS, use vmware to install XP inside it

When your Wizard is starting up, there comes a screen with in the left up corner some info like CID etc. When your Wizard is CID unlocked, then there behind CID x.xx.olip.
I know that it works with a g4 version of the wizard. Look around for more info
Edit: This is only when you succesfully installed Hardspl
I just flashed a rom on my p3300 yesterday and I did it on Windows 7 ultimate.. For me it was working just like that..
Today I will try my fathers Wizard on it
**edit**
No luck on Windows 7 installing WM6.5 on the wizard..
I installed XP on VMware and that worked for me..
Used activesync 4.5 on it.. Installed the CR96 WM6.5 of Cracing
Works like a charm!!
So yeah... Install VMware, that will be the best way to flash your Wizard.
Holla!
