Okay, so I have read the wiki... I am using an AT&T Tilt.
The ROM upgrading sections on the wiki give very detailed instructions for flashing, CID unlocking, etc, but it's all using Activesync. Activesync does not run on Windows Vista.
I do have an old XP box I can use at home, but I was kind of hoping to take my laptop to work and do it there. My laptop runs Vista.
Is there a way to do this using Vista or is XP the only way?
yes, you can do everything on vista, here's my guide for flashing:

I'm planning to buy a qtek s200.
Did anyone tryed to upgrade the rom using vista - i've read that active sync won't work with Vista.
In my opinion "Vista" do not require Activesync as it has some builtin system.

it does not work,use the shearch funtion in the forum,there is allredy several threads asking the same thing.
Only on Vista 32 bit imho...
The upgrade software does not work correctly with any version of Vista, so if you want to brick your device try it
Vista has a new Mobile Device Center that replaces activesync. Don't try to upgarde with Vista. I maintain an old notebook as spare running XP just for flashing purposes. Or install XP on a different partition and flash from there.
I Try To Do It , But It Cannot Upgrade.
My PC Uses Windows Vista Ultimate With Windows Mobile Device Center
I Have JASJAR With WM5
What's My Problem ?
Thanks.
Your problem is windows vista, the drivers that come with WMDC are not compatible with the upgrade program. You need to either use XP or get the drivers from Activesync and install them instead of the WMDC drivers.
Thanks .
But From Where I Can Download Drivers ?

get the drivers from Activesync
Meaning, use Activesync.

Do you mean install Activesync in Vista? Is that possible? Will Activesync run with Vista?

I used to have this working at the beginning of the month, using RUU 2.01 + WMDC 6.1 x64 Driver.
All of sudden it does not work anymore.
Tried all other RUU versions (2.03, 3.xx), no help.
Anyone with good luck please give me some hint!
Thanks a lot!
i had issues with digital signed drivers even if i turned digital signature check off during boot and so i chose a different path for flashin my phone. i installed VMware workstation. Its a program that creates a virtual machine withing windows within which u can install XP. So basically i have XP running within Vista through a virtual machine. another suggestion is dual boot vista and XP. search in google on how to do this and you will find instrucations. good luck.

I think karhoe moved everything to his blog. The Vista instructions are embedded in the pictorial. I don't think you can SuperCID in Vista.
FYI, I've used the Windows XP mode within Windows 7 RC and it works great for ROM flashing since, unlike, Virtual PC 2007, the new Virtual Windows XP can access the USB ports.
