Hello!
I try to debrand my HTC Desire and can't success the RUU Update. He is always waiting for the Bootloader (counts to 100) and then he tolds me, that he lost the USB Connection. Google tolds me, that there are problems with Windows 7 64-bit. Does someone know a workaround? Is VMWare Player with an XP Home Image a solution for this?
Thanks for help.
Erm if possible right and use compatibity mode. Failing that use a different computer? Not sure if vm would work really

The thread is about WMDC 1.0 so not sure if that is necessary or not? He also says he upgraded to Vista from XP sp2.
Run Windows XP within VMWare and flashing that way works. I have read reports of a few people doing this as a last resort, and finding it works perfectly.
I'm not sure how *safe* it is since it virtualises your USB ports, so you may be at risk from bricking, but it does work.

Hi!
I made the changes suggested in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723
Since then I flashed my Universal 2 times with no problems at all.
Because of the change to the hardware driver I don´t think it has anything to do with the fact that I made an upgrade from XP SP2 to Vista.
Worked on Vista for me to upgrade to WM6, but it wouldn't work on my dash to downgrade. Tried for like 2 hours, then tried once on my XP desktop and worked perfectly.
Using VMWare Workstation 6 worked perfectly for me, I must admit I was surprised.
For a moment actually I thought one could actually upgrade their ROM to Vista! OH! How punctuation changes things!
Here's a quick and easy guide to help get you going with windows vista: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27

Using VMware
I had problems flashing using vista so tried Microsoft's virtual pc 2007 but failed to deliver. I then managed to find the latest version of VMWare Workstation which was much more professional and worked so well I got butterflies.
I used to use an old pc for flashing but no more. It works perfect but please please make sure you download and install Vmware workstation 6 plus as anything other crashes on vista. Trust me been there!
And once you have imaged xp make sure you also install activesync 4.5 for best results.
Good luck and pm me if you have any questions.

as i read it if you are using wm6 then vista will work for syncing & with no problems getting into boot loader for upgrading etc. with this update
but maybe not for downgrading to wm5 god forbid?
in my experience using wm6 with active sync 4.5 on xp was temperamental. but using wm5 was fine
i am very new to all this but if this helps anyone then it is a good thing
i updated the rom on my ppc6800 useing vista and it worked without flaw, and this is my first pda sence my old palm,which wasnt a phone,and had a non color screen,so im not an expert with this things.
i done wm6 on o2 xda orbit using vista home premium yesterday
1st time 1st try
worked
I'm running Vista Ultimate and have flashed my phone (charmer) numerous times. IMHO, the best way is if you're using RUU, use VMWare Workstation. If you're flashing using some other method which doesn't put your phone in bootloader mode before beginning to flash, then flash directly from within Vista. In fact, for normal flashing this is my favoured method, i.e. flashing directly from within Vista without making the phone enter bootloader. But then again, if you're flashing official ROMs, you only have RUUs in which case use VMWare Workstation.

Yes this can be done. However if your phone is stuck in the bootloader the UNI_ExitBootloader program will NOT run for me. I had to go find a XP machine.
I have been searching for quite a while with no luck. I always flash my phone at work because I use a Windows XP machine at work. However, a whole lot of site are blocked with my work's surf control so I can't get alot of cabs I need. My home PC is a Vista 64 system so I'm SOL at home.
My question is, how do you go about flashing a ROM on Vista 64? I always get an error when trying to install the ROMs. Something about upgrade the OS on the computer? And is there something like cab via activesync for vista?
Thanks a ton guys.
I'm using Server 2008 x64. No problems there. It should be the same as Vista x64.
You have of course installed Windows Mobile Device Center? It's Active Sync Vista style
The Doc.
I run Vista 64 on both my machines and have never had a problem flashing. You may want to provide a little more details on what your trying to flash, and what the error is your getting.
yeah im on vista x64 and i havent had a problem unlocking my phone, flashing the radio or flashing the rom

I'm going to try it again tomorrow and i'll report back with the exact error. It could have been the ROMs i was using maybe. I'm doing this on a Tilt.
Hello, trying to get past the initial S-off part of rooting my sensation 4g but (as recommended) I'm trying to install the htc drivers on my computer and nothing... the file downloaded fine but when I try to boot/install, well, you get my point... Not sure why this is such a pain in the you-know-what and I'm not exactly a total "NOOB' when it comes to computers but this has me perplexed to say the least!!! Anyone with any help would be greatly appreciated. Am running Vipre antivirus but I don't have any problems downloading or installing anything else so don't see why that would be an issue.... thanks in advance!!!
Hello. I have this phone and I'm unhappy with it. I have some problems. If I connect phone to pc if windows phone 7 is running only been and if Windows 7 installing drivers show "Windows Phone 7 Device disconected." I have installed latest Zune, but Zune show "No Device Connected". I try install RSDL, but with program from DFT is from SDL 1.22 and I have SDL 1.21. Process finish complete but phone show always SDL 1.21 as on images. I would like there ANDROID or DUAL BOOT.
Please HELP ME.
Thanks
P.S.: Let them burn Windows Phone 7!
Dual boot is impossible for Windows Phone (at this moment).
OK, but now I am especially troubled that the phone wants to connect to PC.
Next problem: If I want to pair Bluetooth devices ex.: HTC 7 Pro <-> Notebook or HTC 7 Pro <-> SE Xperia x10 mini or other device with bluetooth, HTC 7 Pro say "Not Supported".

About bluetooth, if you want to use it to transfer files, did you take a look at this
thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1513650
Yes, but this is next problem. Phone say XAP file is not supported, or something like that. I can only send files to phone via E-Mail.
Well, I was able to load the new ROM. 7740 v3 from DFT.
I have NEXT problem. The phone will not charge. Met with by anyone how to solve it? My Batrtery is completely discharged.
