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.
Read this Guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428469
though its for another device, but the steps are same for all the devices
Enjoy

Dear All
I have a very strange problem here...i was using the Jwright WM6 rom till this morning with no sccuess in getting it to connect to my Vista laptop by all means...the only thing i could do is to connect to my desktop pc which has Windows XP & it connects succefully...so i thaught it's something related to the crossbow not being compatible with vista WMDC
Till this morning a friend came to me with his Universal running Jwright 1.90.96 WM5 to install a program so i connected to the Vista WMDC & it worked like a charm...so i downgraded mine to the same WM5 version he is running & i was shocked when it didn't connect & kept trying to connect till it gave me red error sign with no explanation
I used the same USB port, the same original cable on the same laptop under the same windows user...
Any explanation for that????!!!
I really need to sync with my vista laptop as it's my main PC at both work & home...
Thanks All
Have you updated WMDC from beta3, coz that has sorted alot of problems.If yes, try creating another user account, or try logging in as an admin, and connect wm device from there.
otherwise, REINSTALL VISTA, sorry to tell you that, but this is the easiest and the quickest way some times. and i mean it...
What kind of built of Vista are you running?

i have updated to the latest WMDC version available on the microsoft site after removing the one that originally came with the windows as instructed by microsoft...i also tried creating another admin account & still no success !!!
this morning i tried to remove & reinstall the WMDC but still nothing changed..i hope that i won't be forced to reinstall Vista again as this is a very painful option to me after the mass amount of programs i have installed!!!

i'm using windows vista ultimate 6.6.6000 build 6000
Hi guys first post here. I just went through the headache of removing vista and installing xp so that i could flash to the latest crossbow, then put vista back on without realizing i forgot to put on the tmobile uk radio. Is there any way to install this with a cab file? The vista RUU trick doesnt work for me at all. Any help would be great. Thanks.

I think you're stuck. You have to be able to access the bootloader via USB - which forces your hand with and you're stuck with XP.
You might investigate running a dual-boot machine. I run 2 x 400 gig SATA drives in Raid 0 (for speed), then partition them into 200, 200 and 400 gig partitions. The first is for Vista, the second is for XP, and the third is high-speed storage. I keep another 400 gig SATA for backup storage. This config works very well, and lets me bounce back and forth between OS flavors very easily.
It's even handly to keep a copy of Koppix Linux around - just in case you need to run a CD only OS for emergencies...
thanks man. i ended up doing just that. The dual boot setup is working great.
Rather than dual boot (which requires rebooting to switch) you can also do a Virtual Machine. VMware Player is free, and you can use http://www.easyvmx.com/ to create the files it needs. Then you just startup your virtual machine (its just a window running on your current WIndows setup) and install XP, or whatever OS on it. Now you can run XP under Vista (no reboot required) and do whatever you need.
Ah but you then cant flash your phone under a VM machine so kinda defeats the object of it! But I use a Virtual PC for testing my website templates under old IEs on XP.

Hmmm. I've seen a couple of posts here where people have flashed from a virtual machine (or claimed to have done this). I haven't tried this myself though.

actually it can be done as that is how ive been doing it for weeks now. Using VMWare workstation and activesync 4.5
It looks like they added some signed usb drivers for 64bit vista in git. Get the files here:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...4;hb=5a4d0fa291a7269007701282f32cfda55ce39008
(direct link to a .tar of the files)
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...7f21122b4e37780fa5beba7dedc30d428a8dd0;sf=tgz
Anyone have Vista 64bit and want to try them out, and report back? Hopefully this will let you use the drivers without being in test mode, like you had to be with the ones that aziwoqpd had compiled.
Driver installs with no problems on my Vista 64 machine, but adb and fastboot give a device not found error :/
That error is the same as using an unsigned one in normal Windows bootup. I'll test it now and post back.
Btw: Here's an unsigned drivers workaround.

Edit:
Driver works perfectly. Windows 7 x64.
Crapped my pants at first though. Got a bsod while installing it. Lol.
Just the regular overclock bsod though, so it should go on fine for you guys.

Ah, cool. thanks for posting that workaround. I hadn't seen anything like that. I had only briefly looked into it before, but didn't see anyway to run unsigned drivers without going into test mode. (I don't use vista, so I wasn't that motivated to find a way )
Yea I get device not found on both unsigned and signed. But I also have a linux box to play with anyways.
look at all this old stuff.
Works 100% on 2 different vista 64 bit systems. Didn't make my video crash my machine on the one that usually does. So Kudos to the guy that made these! Tried & tested! ADB work'n. Might want to put this as a main thread or stickie for all those using vista 64bit or windows 7 64bit. Just a suggestion
Will this work with Haykuro's modified SPL?
ok i knew that it was here but i cannot seem to find it can someone point out where the thread is that shows you how to upgrade the tornado within vista
please and thx

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.

A hot to for anyone who makes the same mistake as me. You can't (or I couldn't) flash from Windows 7. I tried all day following the guide on here incase I was doing something wrong, however soon as I tried with XP, it worked first shot.
Now that I understand this system I will do a tiny bit of work to see if I can get it to work under 7, unless somebody already know the trick?
usb drivers? did activesync or WMDC install correctly on Win 7?

yeah, it comes with the latest version of WMDC / active sync. USB drivers were installed from Windows update so it would sync with the device.
The difference I noticed is when the XP would send the Treo to the bootloader (red,blue,green,white), the Host computer would recognise a 'HTC usb Hub' or something of the like.
Ya. I did it to my Treo 750 through Windows 7. Just follow the isnstructions here. It also doesn't work on vista unless you follow these steps. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511763
On Step 2 it says this is only for Vista users, but follow those steps too.
