Dear users,
I am running Windows® Vista and wasn't able to flash a rom using the tutorials on this website (Appcrash).
As I googled a lot about flashing using Vbox, I didn't manage to upgrade too.
It has something to do with the USB settings when my device is in bootloader mode.
Could someone give me a hand?
Thank you!
Go vmware player. It JUST works. As long as the Virtual Machine has focus when you attach the wizard to usb. I been flashing like this in vista and windows 7 . Try easyvmx.com for a vmware config file generator. Works like a charm
Thank you!
I will try, i'm using your ROM to upgrade so it should work fine =)

Hello there,
This is probably a stupid question but.. here it goes! Is there anyway to do a ROM Upgrade using mac osx?
All the best,
Joao Oliveira.
sure! Just install Windows in either parallels or bootcamp!
Heh, only joking! It's possible to upgrade the ROM using the SD card, see the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336158
I've done this before on my TyTn 1 and it worked a treat, easier than using windows in some ways!
hi jcwacky, is it riskier flashing ROM using SD Card then through windows?
i know that i won't take risk using MAC though
just a question, how to instal file .exe using MAC? someone said i need to take the cab files out of the .exe but how? care to show? thanks mate.....
I use vmware to flash new roms. It has worked great for me and I've never had a problem. I'm not sure if this reason alone is good enough to justify installing parallels or vmware, but it does work.
As for installing .exe files, I use this program to extract the cabs:

There is a free demo. It works forever, but watermarks images found in the .exe files. So you can get the cabs out just fine without registering.
thank you sooo much gthing!

I don't use parallels anymore, I use vmware fusion. But the key to either solution is to make sure you map the usb port into the virtual machine. I believe OS X sees it as "generic RNIDS" or something like that. Just make sure that port gets routed to the virtual machine and you're fine.
hi gthing,
do u use microSD to flash your ROM? is it save? or through XP is more preferrable?

I've never tried it through the MicroSD card. I prefer to use Windows XP for flashing.

Just make sure whatever you do that you have HardSPL and you should be fine - windows or MicroSD.
I do ROM flashes using my gaming box. But FileJuicer is just what I need for doing day-to-day app installs. Thanks for the link!

O.k. for everyone who's traying to Flash in Vista
Donwload the files from this link: http://rapidshare.com/files/38401715/Manual_and_files.rar.html
and extract them in a new created folder like for example your desktop. Extract the USB Modem Vista in a different folder on your desktop (easy to find)
- put your device in bootloader mode (press and hold power, light and softreset button)
- connect the MDA to your computer.
- open computer management (devicemanager) in vista, rightclick computer in startmenu and select manage (see step 1)
- in computermanager open devicemanager (step 2)
- follow step 3 and 4.
After step 4 browse to the folder where you extracted the USB Modem Vista and choose next.
It will install the active sync drivers to vista and you will be able to flash.
I attached a exit bootloader file to exit bootloader mode (you can also install drivers without flashing the device)
YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO EXIT BOOTLOADER MODE!!!! EVEN BEVORE FLASHING!!!!
If you do it properly it will be done in less than 4 minutes.
Good luck.

hie guys!
i need your help urgently!!!
I am just got another pc using vista, but i encountered a problem during installing activesync 4.5. When i wanted to run the program, it came out a warning windows saying that the program is block by due to certain reason, and it offer me solve it by downloading a program from a windows web. tried to download it and install it, but still the same problem occurs.
Anyone could help me to solve this??
Another problem, is there any solution if i use mac, and wanted to upgrade my rom from mac? thanks in advance...
Regards,
bebek_balap
for Vista you need Microsofts Mobile Device Center
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
^^ He's right and by default (On most Vista Machines) it should be already installed. So just try to plug in your phone and it should detect and install automatically.
Thats right starmena, but with the standard software that comes with Vista, you just can access your files on the Phone and the storage card. You are not able to install apps and sync your contacts, emails, and stuff.
btw. cant help you with the mac stuff sorry
you can try this for mac
http://www.sync-mac.com/syncmate.html?gr=smate02&gclid=CJXx5o_poJcCFRQhnAoddFgxGA
or this
http://www.markspace.com/products/windowsmobile/mac/windows-mobile-sync-software.html
but as always we don't recommend macs on a windows forum
Thanks guys for the reply.
i agreed with some of the reply, the one that is pre-installed on the vista, cant use it to upgrade rom and other. is there any solution to it?

Good luck,
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.

This may help but I think it wont work with linux :/
You could try this in a virtual machine. After that you can flash a SuperUser/SuperSU zip file to root the stock rom, or install a custom rom from recovery.
good idea but virtual machines might be a bit troublesome but virtualbox will be fine I think.

Yup VirtualBox should do just fine, I'd recommend a Windows 7 installation. There's no need to activate it, since you're only using it to root your device, after that you can just remove the Windows 7 virtual machine.
