Post 5 here saying it works for him.

The thread is about WMDC 1.0 so not sure if that is necessary or not? He also says he upgraded to Vista from XP sp2.
Run Windows XP within VMWare and flashing that way works. I have read reports of a few people doing this as a last resort, and finding it works perfectly.
I'm not sure how *safe* it is since it virtualises your USB ports, so you may be at risk from bricking, but it does work.

Hi!
I made the changes suggested in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723
Since then I flashed my Universal 2 times with no problems at all.
Because of the change to the hardware driver I don´t think it has anything to do with the fact that I made an upgrade from XP SP2 to Vista.
Worked on Vista for me to upgrade to WM6, but it wouldn't work on my dash to downgrade. Tried for like 2 hours, then tried once on my XP desktop and worked perfectly.
Using VMWare Workstation 6 worked perfectly for me, I must admit I was surprised.
For a moment actually I thought one could actually upgrade their ROM to Vista! OH! How punctuation changes things!
Here's a quick and easy guide to help get you going with windows vista: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27

Using VMware
I had problems flashing using vista so tried Microsoft's virtual pc 2007 but failed to deliver. I then managed to find the latest version of VMWare Workstation which was much more professional and worked so well I got butterflies.
I used to use an old pc for flashing but no more. It works perfect but please please make sure you download and install Vmware workstation 6 plus as anything other crashes on vista. Trust me been there!
And once you have imaged xp make sure you also install activesync 4.5 for best results.
Good luck and pm me if you have any questions.

as i read it if you are using wm6 then vista will work for syncing & with no problems getting into boot loader for upgrading etc. with this update
but maybe not for downgrading to wm5 god forbid?
in my experience using wm6 with active sync 4.5 on xp was temperamental. but using wm5 was fine
i am very new to all this but if this helps anyone then it is a good thing
i updated the rom on my ppc6800 useing vista and it worked without flaw, and this is my first pda sence my old palm,which wasnt a phone,and had a non color screen,so im not an expert with this things.
i done wm6 on o2 xda orbit using vista home premium yesterday
1st time 1st try
worked
I'm running Vista Ultimate and have flashed my phone (charmer) numerous times. IMHO, the best way is if you're using RUU, use VMWare Workstation. If you're flashing using some other method which doesn't put your phone in bootloader mode before beginning to flash, then flash directly from within Vista. In fact, for normal flashing this is my favoured method, i.e. flashing directly from within Vista without making the phone enter bootloader. But then again, if you're flashing official ROMs, you only have RUUs in which case use VMWare Workstation.

Yes this can be done. However if your phone is stuck in the bootloader the UNI_ExitBootloader program will NOT run for me. I had to go find a XP machine.
Being very computer savvy and having flashed a good 20+ roms, I am completely stumped by the fact that I cannot get the vista flash workaround to WORK! I have faria's wm6 on my wizard and its been acting up so i wanted to try out the Xplore2.0 rom. My Xp laptop is having problems and will not stay connected to AS for long enough for the RUU to connect. I tried the Vista method to no avail. Can someone who has tried it post ALL of the tools needed? I read somewhere that version 2.00.1 of the RUU didnt work, but that is all I am able to find.
Thank you for any and all replies.
Have tried all StepbyStep postings but coudn´t get it running.
Going to AKU3.3 worked without problems - but old RUU using for Core 2.0 for example didn´t work.
So i switched back to xp for a while.
Even VirtualMachine didn´t work for me.
Sorry.

do you think installing xp as a dual boot will help?
I dont really have that option. The laptop I am on has a very small hd and id have to resize it to do that. I DO have an XP laptop, but that laptop is having problems keeping AS connected (its dying).
guys, have you tried this?

This one I was talking about. No way. Sorry.
Not for me.
Yes, that is what i was speaking of in my opening post. And based on a few others replies, something is causing it to not work for some ppl. I am trying to find out what we have in common. My guess is either the rom, or the RUU itself. I am unable to find an older RUU to try with the xplore 2.0 rom thouhg.
Also, I see papamopps browsing the vista flashing tut on modaco Good to see someone else still reading around to find an answer.
Can't get it to work here too. I'm using XP through vmware now.

Have a look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=FlashVista
It is for another device model (Universal), but I´m sure the process has to be same
Hope it helps,
Hi Guys, Does any one knows if we still have the same problem flashing from Vista...I can not wait to flash my Universal from my Vista PC...but everytime I get a error message...
Any ideas?
At moment is not POSSIBLE to flash directely with MS Vista.
It's possible via a virtual PC or if you change drivers of activesync or PDA, I don't know exactely, i've read this in a forum but i forgot.
Via WINDows XP only at time
Via WINDOWS XP only at times.

Yeah I think you can, just install Activesync 4.5 to use its drivers instead of the Windows Mobile Device Center thingy..
and hey teddybear.. you're spamming.
nearly..
actually I have managed to flash under Vista using a solution founs somewhere on the Internet but it's the same I saw suggested here on xda. basically, you have to install activesync connection drivers (only them, not the whole AS program!) to Vista so it'll will recognize your device in bootloader mode. You can continue to use the mobile device centre afterwards.
This is just a preview of the procedure you have to go through, now use the search function or google to find the whole thing and do it, it requires not more than 15 mins (if you're quite a dummy), probably less.
greetings
The solution!
Check my info for flashing in Vista...

i've see when is not possible to flash PPc with vista.
if now it's possible, ...it's very good!!!
As far as I know it's not possible to install active sync. The only way is the one I posted....
I confirm, 100%

i tried what daunes has posted, but under dev mgmt i dont have "Mobile devices" at all!
any straightforward way of doing it?
@ dreamtheater39
Wich version of Vista are you running?
I hope it's not a beta version?!
And also what is very important is that you have to put your device in bootloader mode.
Please let me know!

Hey daunes,
I got it to work eventually! I hadnt put it to bootloader mode, so my device used to appear as "HTC Universal" in device manager under "Portable devices" which i tried to upgrade (driver update). In bootloader mode it showed up differently as you've mentioned and everything worked fine! A big thanks for this, i'm now finally able to flash and monkey around with different roms, something i quite missed ever since i moved over to vista!
Cheers!
San
No thanx glad to help
