Any successful upgrades on Vista?

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?

They should as it has 32bit comp. however I havent tested it, so I'm not fully sure.

I want my baby back!!!

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!!

You can upgrade from bl mode with a sd card using that method to do it. Search in forum and you'll find it. Good luck!

Windows XP is much better to upgrade with (as well as being a much better OS full stop )
There is plenty of info in the wiki about upgrading from Vista however,
Though if all else fails you could always borrow someone's XP machine to revive your phone.
Good luck!

windows 7 and windows mobile device center

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...

incorrect....you need to download Windows XP mode from Microsoft online(search it on google) then run the installler, etc... then run Windows XP mode, plug in your phone through USB and in the top corner of the Windows XP mode under the USB tab click attach "wizard usb serial" or whatever is the appropriate name.Hope that helps!!!

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!
