Hi all, after reading a thread on windows vista (I have home premium, 32bit), I am a little shaky about flashing my brand new htc fuze. Is there anyone out there that can give me the idiot guide to the process I need to follow to get the mercury rom into my phone? As I said in an earlier post, I am fairly computer literate, but after reading some conflicting info on here and seeing so many different options for just setting up the flash (programs for the pc to make the flash work) I am kind of baffled. The last thing I need is a brand new shiny 300 dollar paperweight. Any help or shared experiences would be awesome, and thanks ahead of time!
Welcome to forums
If you follow instructions here all will be ok:

Good luck,
Another question, microsoft says to use mobile device center since I have vista instead of active sync. Does the mobile device center work for flashing? The flashing your first gsm sticky says to use active sync. This is of the discrepancies I was worried about after reading the vista issues sticky.
Flashing should work fine with Windows Mobile Device Center. I've been flashing my Kaiser on 64-bit Windows 7 and 32-bit Vista for weeks, without any problems, so I wouldn't worry too much.

I use Windows Mobile Device Center for any flashing I do.
I have a HTC Touch (elfin) and the WMDC works fine.
Ive flashed roms through it using windows vista and windows 7.

Hello, guys.
in short: i recieved a T-mobile MDA compact pocket pc as a gift. It has german windows installed and it's all i know about it..
problem is that i barely understand german :roll:
i want to upgrade to an english version and get info about this pocket pc (what is the ROM? software, hardware info), but in pocket pc's software i'm pretty newbie. i've tried to search through this forum for information and i've tried several manuals, but all instalations ends up with "please reconnect your pocket pc"
please post any threads, web manuals or anything, where can i find needed information . thanks in advance...
It sounds like you're on the right track - but go here for the full guide (for EXE ROMs only):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade
And for the purposes of Windows Mobile PDAs, consider ROMs to be the 'operating system file', a file from which a version of Windows Mobile can be installed onto your PDA.
thanks looks like should work, i'll try it soon :]
I have been living with Windows Vista Beta 2 Build 5384 since June. This is an "evoluting version" that is upgraded/improved/corrected from time to time. All in all I should not have done that and stay with XP Pro but I was not sure how to unistall it. However, the Windows Mobile Sync function works well with my HTC prophet (Qtek S200) which is equipped with ROM 2.15.23.27 WME, 3/9/06, Radio version 02.19.21, Protocol version 4.1.13.09, ExtROM version 2.15.13.121. Last week, after a little research, I decide to upgrade with RUU_Prophet_2151327_22113102_022021_Dopod_PDAMobizEdition_v101 though I was not that sure that it was really an upgrade (I was looking for the Push-Email feature). In any event, the upgrade program did not work. I am stuck. It stopped regularly with a code error [202]: Th update utility (V2.5.2) could not connect to the PDA Phone. All comments are welcome
I can only speak for the Blue Angel on this - but I couldn't upgrade it using Vista because Activesync is used for the connection. However, in Vista, Activesync has been replaced and it cannot be installed on Vista. In the end, I got out a spare HDD, dropped it into my pc, installed XP FLP and upgraded using that instead.
RC1 of Vista (Build 5600) is now out to certain testers and I can confirm that Mobile Center is no longer present/doesn't work properly. This is also true of 5536 and 5552. The PDA will show up in Computer and you can browse it - but there was no utility to sync. Activesync can again, not be installed either.
Windows Mobile Device Center
With respect to the Sync function, I recall that the "Windows Mobile Device Center" that has replaced in Windows Vista the ActiveSync 4.1 of the past did not work until I triggered the firewall options. After it worked well though the Notes included in the Contacts (MC Outlook) are not synchronised correctly. Hence, my surprise for the impossibility to upgrade s explained above.
Windows SideShow for Windows Mobile is an application for Windows Mobile 5 and 6 PocketPCs and Smartphones that allows you to use your Windows Mobile device as a Bluetooth SideShow device. Installation instructions are below. This is a beta release.

I've not got this working with my wm6.1 ipaq ppc (classic) with widcomm stack.
please let us know if you get it working with your device (hw&sw versions) and any comments.
Also if you find any gadgets that you recommend let us all know.
Samsung i600 is working perfectly, but there are very few sideshow gadgets and most of them suck .
The mobile app says it is a beta and has expired, does anyone know if there is a newer/better version out there I've been looking all over the place and cant find anything? Am I the only person who thinks sideshow is really cool???
i am also getting a similar message that beta has expired ... any help
Just found this

Ive had the cab for this for ages, but only recently have I had vista to be able to use it.
Ive had it working well on:
HTC S710 VOX
HTC P3450 ELF
HTC P3450 ELFIN
Doesnt seem to work on my Polaris, doesn't seem to save my user name. Always get asked to "Selected Current User" and can never turn on any gadgets in windows. Anyone else with the same problem?
thats what the expired cab did for me. have you uninstalled the old one and reinstalled the new one?
i'm using it for the media centre gadgets, but i have TV Pack 2008 and they dont work with it :-(
i've been waiting years for sideshow and now the thing i want to use it with isnt suported

yeah tried to install the new one but doesn't work. Apparently Microsoft are working on this but I don't think they will release anything soon. They stated that "We have seen this issue, and are investigating the cause. It seems to be sporadic." Testing this on Windows 7 beta so don't know whether this is the cause or whether it might be the ROM I am using.
Help!
I have an Orange M600 which needs the radio updating as I have a newer SIM which doesn't allow me to send texts.
I sync the device using WMDC then run the RomUpdateUtility as soon at I see the progress bar an error appears 'ROMUpdateUtility MFC Application has stopped working'.
I have followed guidance notes on updating the drivers through device manager etc etc, but to no avail.
I pretty much stuck on this one, any ideas would be hugely recieved.
Thanks.
That's because the Prophet RUU aren't developerd for Vista! You can only upgrade your device under Vista using a Virtual Machine! I suggest you to use VMware Player and/or WMware Workstation!
You can create only with VMware Workstation Virtual Machines from WMware, WMwarePlayer is, like the name says, a player for a Virtual Machine!
Or you use another Virtual Machine software, but keep an eye on fully redirection of USB functions!
There is a way to use RUUs under Vista. But you have to replace the Vista's driver with XP's driver and it can work. There are some descriptions how to replace the driver and get it running. Search the net for it!
It is also described here on xda-developers. Have a look: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723
