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.

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
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?

Hi there, my smartphone Tornado (SP5m) won't be detected properly on my Windows 2003 server (w/o SP1), USB drivers seems to be the problem... can someone send me their drivers (via link, PM, etc) so I can test using those drivers instead. I definitely want to sync my Outlook contacts to my smartphone...
Any help would be appreciated, thank you all for your time!

I use Windows 2003 server and I never had any problems with ActiveSync v4.5. If you connect your phone after installing ActiveSync, it will be detected as an RNDIS device.
Do you have the latest ActiveSync update?
It works fine on XP SP2 and Vista but not with my Windows 2003 server ?!
It sure detects it as an RDNIS device and then it tries to install the drivers, then I need to click on "Continue Anyway" (because those drivers have not passed the Windows logo testing to verify it's compatibility with this version of Windows) and then an error comes up saying "Cannot install this hardware" (see attached picture)
Does yours have SP1 installed?
Thank you for your time,
highmighty
Yes, I have SP1 and all latest updates installed. I'm sorry but I never had had this problem and I don't know how to assist you. You can try removing the drivers and reinstalling ActiveSync 4.5.
I had a similar problem once on XP SP2, not sure if it will assist you, but in my case my mini-USB cable became some what defective, in a way that it did not let the PC identify the mobile even though it DID see when i connected it!

Hi guys,
I've just installed the Windows 7 ultimate RC on my PC and am now unable to sync my Raphael. I've installed Windows Mobile Device Center, but when I plug in my phone I get a message saying 'USB Device not recognized'.
I've tried both the stock rom and the Energy 3.0 ROM.
Anyone experiencing this also? Any solutions?
Thanks!
Same problem. But I couldnt even install the WDC? Which version did you install?
Weird
I'm using Windows 7 RC 1 (build 7100) and it works flawlessly with my TP. Installed WMDC 6.1 without difficulties.
PROBLEM FIXED for me

Try deleting this via regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions
I'm using Windows 7 build 7077 and everything is going fine
Could you specify as to whether that key is located in Windows 7 or your phones OS?

Sorry.In Windows 7
uh oh. i'm thinking of wiping vista from my machine and just using rc1. should i hold off on doing this?
Happened to me not 5min ago
1. Find the device in “Device manager” and remove it
2. Re-Plug in the device
3. A windows should try to install the software (Little popup in the task bar)
4. Click on it when it fails and tell it to check windows update to find drivers
I just installed RC1 last night. TP syncing just fine.
running windows 7...wmdc installed fine...
IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS SYNCHING!!
make sure to go into your phone settings
-go to connections
-go to usb to pc
-uncheck enable advanced network functionality
k thanks for the help guys, can't wait to get rc installed!
Thanks for the replies!
I tried all suggestions posted here, but none work.
The funny thing is that even when I put my phone in USB Drive mode, it still isn't recognized.
Updating the driver through windows update still results in 'An unknown device, your drivers are up to date'.
Syncing works without problems on my WindowsXP laptop..

This really worded for me. I installed Windows 7 the first day it was available and I was never able to figure it out how to make it worked until today. Thank you "The Muffin Man"
Running windows 7 RC and first few days when plugged phone in nothing happened. Was in no rush to get sync working as dual booting with Vista and was just plugging to charge phone. Other day I got a prompt to install device centre 6.1 and never done anything to initiate this. Wonder if an auto update may have caused this?
Works perfectly for me and tried with both Energy 3.0 and Elite RC4 (WM6.1 and WM6.5 ROMS).
In Vista atm so don't have W7 build number to hand.
I had a similar issue a few weeks back on my xp rig. Turns out I just needed to re seat my micro sd card, worked instantly.

go for it.. everything works great.. love the device support! plug in ur printer and thats pritty much it
Uninstall the "Windows Mobile Device Center" in your Control Panel, and plug your phone in again
Well i'm one step closer to fixing this..
I went into my bios and disabled USB2 (switching back to USB1).
After reboot my device was recognized and synced without problems.
As soon as I enabled USB2 again the device was undetectable again, even though Legacy USB support was enabled.
All other USB devices work, both in USB2 as USB1 mode.
Needless to say I don't want to run in USB1 mode.
Since I didn't have any of these problems with WinXP I assume it's a windows 7 issue.. Anyone knows where I can report this?

Sounds like a driver support issue with your USB device (Motherboard).
I just installed WMDC and it worked without any problems.
I would like to say that I am not a developer or anything. I am having problems using adb commands on my computer (windows 8). It is a problem with drivers and such that the computer doesn't recognize the phone when in recovery. The same setup works on my windows vista desktop. I know many people have problems with drivers working on windows 8 and i was just wondering what version of windows is the easiest to work with?

Windows 7 is the best option for me. But there is still a problem, the driver never work with the driver for windows phone 8.
