Hi Guys, Does any one knows if we still have the same problem flashing from Vista...I can not wait to flash my Universal from my Vista PC...but everytime I get a error message...
Any ideas?
At moment is not POSSIBLE to flash directely with MS Vista.
It's possible via a virtual PC or if you change drivers of activesync or PDA, I don't know exactely, i've read this in a forum but i forgot.
Via WINDows XP only at time
Via WINDOWS XP only at times.

Yeah I think you can, just install Activesync 4.5 to use its drivers instead of the Windows Mobile Device Center thingy..
and hey teddybear.. you're spamming.
nearly..
actually I have managed to flash under Vista using a solution founs somewhere on the Internet but it's the same I saw suggested here on xda. basically, you have to install activesync connection drivers (only them, not the whole AS program!) to Vista so it'll will recognize your device in bootloader mode. You can continue to use the mobile device centre afterwards.
This is just a preview of the procedure you have to go through, now use the search function or google to find the whole thing and do it, it requires not more than 15 mins (if you're quite a dummy), probably less.
greetings
The solution!
Check my info for flashing in Vista...

Thanx!..........
i still cant get it working under vista
i tried what daunes has posted, but under dev mgmt i dont have "Mobile devices" at all!
any straightforward way of doing it?
@ dreamtheater39
Wich version of Vista are you running?
I hope it's not a beta version?!
And also what is very important is that you have to put your device in bootloader mode.
Please let me know!

Hey daunes,
I got it to work eventually! I hadnt put it to bootloader mode, so my device used to appear as "HTC Universal" in device manager under "Portable devices" which i tried to upgrade (driver update). In bootloader mode it showed up differently as you've mentioned and everything worked fine! A big thanks for this, i'm now finally able to flash and monkey around with different roms, something i quite missed ever since i moved over to vista!
Cheers!
San

Hi vistar,
Hopefully, you will have it sorted out by Christmas!
Yes, it is Vista problem and you need to change the USB Vista driver in your PC to XP driver.
I don't mean changing the Windows Mobile Device Center to Active Sync 4.5!
But the USB drivers. Look here:

I believe that the first post should solve your problem. If not try the others. Basically, in Device Manager of your PC, the USB driver should be the old XP driver dated 2004!
Any other year won't do you good!
Merry Christmas!
Happy New Year!

It is highly recommended NOT to use Vista ... even with the proposed driver patch.
I have developed a Radio ROM issue because of this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347375
If you are using Vista, it is highly recommended for you to use Virtualisation and install XP.
I have been using XP under VMware forever without problems as far as flashing my Qtek is concerned ... until my Vista mis-adventure that is. I know that VMWare is not free, but you may want to give http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/virtualpc/default.mspx a try.
I flash my two Universal at least once a day under Vista with no problems at all.
Flashing Radio, CE ROM and ExtROM with Vista hasn't created any problem for me.
Vista like XP automatically install latest update from Microsoft site, this update also includes drivers too.
Just before flashing make sure that your old 2004 driver is not changed to the latest 2006 or 2007 driver!
That's all folks,
KOR!
will try the threads above thanks, i have tried in vista, and also i use vmware too, with xp pro spâ. which seems to work better but get error ăđă, radio update error, i think i have wiped the radio??? as when the first screen comes up it says:
from,
Radio:
EXT Rom:
Bla bla:
to:
Radio: 2.?.??
EXT Rom: 2.2.??
Bla bla: 2.2.??
I cant remember what numbers came up, but it was blank at top and version numbers at bottom.
any help would be grateful
ok i got it to work , through vmware, i ran PsiDOC_WM5_20041_Taster, which worked think its WM̀ still but its back on, I want WM̉ though, i'll try again.. some advice wouldn't go a miss. thanks.
Note: If anyone has problems blame vista..... Good OS, Bad PDA Partner...
ok every rom i try fails with the following: Error 114, Radio Rom Upgrade error.
why is this??? i have looked through the wiki and forum, people have had this problem before, but no answers.
I have this when WM5 loads up,
1.09.00
42.42.p8
2.00.41 WWE
and bootloader v2.01 (G4)
just incase this info is needed.

If you have tried all the links I have given, you could have easily upgraded the ROM to Windows Mobile 6.
Read carefully, my above post #3.
Did you know that you could just flash the CE ROM (Main ROM), if the Radio is not flashing.
KOR!
KOR support center !!!
How do i Flash that alone? do i just remove the radio file from the WM6 folder and run RUU again??? just to confirm...
Thanks M8 much appreciated.

Read the four links, I have given you.
1. nk.nbf (CE ROM - Main ROM)
2. ms_.nbf (Extended ROM - Storage ROM)
3. radio_.nbf (Radio ROM)
If the ROM is in .exe format, than excute the ROM without hooking your universal to the PC. In the temporary folder, you will find all the files.
Read,
KOR!
sorry what i meant was how do i flash the files to the device??? i have all the files ready..
do i remove radio from folder then execute RRU? or do i use a different way?
Thanks for your support KOR!!!
the later worked perfectly on my G4 device, i ran the update without the device attached, put into bootloader, and found all files in temp directory, then removed the radio file. connected the bootloaded device, then ran the update, it worked straight away, only in xp/vmware though.
Thankyou..... I really mean that KOR..

Hi Vistar,
You are welcome. If you download the drivers from the first link in post #3, then you can use Vista without any problems to flash your device.
Just make sure that the driver is dated 2004 before flashing the device. Check the driver for the Portable Devices ->USB Disk in the Device Manager of your PC.
Best Regards,
KOR!
BTW, I did reply to your PM.

Perhaps that's because both your Unis are G3 - and mine is a G4.
Hi everybody,
maybe anyone can still help me.
It seems it kind of f''''d my Device by installing SPB Software, at least it doesn't boot anymore, neither does Hardreset work out.
So the last Solution might be flashing the ROM via bootloader.
When starting the Update-Utility i always get stuck with a Connection Error (262).
yes, yes, i use Windows Vista (get the same error with XP btw).
I also installed the latest USB Driver and upgraded WMDC to 6.1 using the HowTo in the Hermes Section of this board, but unofrtunately it does not work either.
Still Error 262...
Any advice highly appreciated :-(
p.s.: i started another thread since the other one mainly deals with my hardreset problems and seems ppl dont read it anymore. excuse me if i get annoying, but im getting a bit desperate
Hi I´ve got a spanish Qtek S200 which I´d like to flash to english.
The furthest I got flashing it was an error 160
I´m using vista.
What noobie error am I making!?
Currently is:
2.9.7.28 ESN
Cannot upgrade using vista must use xp. I had the same problem as well on my dopod818, it shows error 260.
I had the same problem while using other PC.
It crashed my windows several times, so I gave up.
By the way, does anyone knows if the source of the upgrading tool is open? If it was it would be easier to fix the problem for those who are using Vista.
Thats mental!!
and qtek or no other manufacturers have released a get around!?
I´m not exactly the only vista&Qtek owner in the world!
Just a shame my old laptop wont power up!
You won't be able to use Vista. Why don't you set up a virtual machine running XP? You can then run activesync on the VM. VMware is free, you'll just have to get yourself a copy of XP to install.

I do agree, as Vista/Qtek user. But don't get your hopes up to high.
The released RUU's are device specific. I can imagine that the firmware upgrades for the new devices are Vista compatible, but our beloved Prophet is an discontinued product.... As long as there isn't a new official ROM, there won't come a upgrade RUU either...
But I do have an Prophet-RUU that don't crash with Vista (after changing the ActiveSync drivers) but it only works with a signed nk.nbf. It is useless or flashing any other ROM-file then the one it is released with.
I don't know how open those RUU's are. I'm afraid not to much, otherwise some genius would have modded one of them allready!
Hi,
I tried to upgrade the ROM, unfortunately we had a power cut (sod's law haha) and my PC cut out. Now when I try to turn my XDA on (o2 exec) all I get is a dark screen with USB at the top and V1.01, I've tried the recovery tool included in the update but obviously didn't work because windows doesn't recognise the device.
Any ideas would be MASSIVELY appreciated.
btw I've tried doing a hard reset and pressing 0 but it just resets the device to the above screen =/
Thanks,
Lee
Just Re-Run The Rom Upgrade Utility And Reflash The Rom.
Regards,
OllieD
Tried that several times, the problem is that Vista isn't recognising the device thus the rom flash can't find it. Ive been through all the Wiki how-to's with no avail
Ive Never Flashed With Vista And Never Will.
I Read There Was Issues And Didnt Think It Was Worth The Risk.
Its Never Wise To Run Flashing Software In An OS It Wasnt Designed For.
Anyway Flash With XP And Your Problems Will Be Gone.
I Dont Think XP Even Recognises The Device When Its In Bootloader The Flashing Software Just Knows What To Do, Although The Software Wasnt Designed With Vista In Mind.

OllieD

There are some year 2004 XP drivers available for Vista. Do a search and you will find it.
It is too late and I am tired. If you can't find it then I will try to help you later.
Good luck and don't worry as nothing is wrong with your device. Wrong drivers for PC.
KOR!
If nothing else works, try using mtty to erase the device, and reflash!
Oh, and word of advice: Never flash with Vista, it f.cks your device! Always do your falshing with XP, that's the most stable out there...

I always flash my devices on Vista, and never had any problems. Though, you have to have proper XP 2004 year driver installed.

Do you try to flash via a hub connection? Because it's recommended to connect the device directly to the PC!

well, yeah. but in that case, I could argue that the driver, which counts, is from XP
But anyway, most people here would recommend against flashing in Vista, unless you must. XP is just a lot more stable, and causes fewer problems. but let's not get into which is better, shall we?
