While downloading the update (8.1) I pulled a newbie movie and let the battery die while downloading. After trying multiple things, restore,refresh nothing worked. Called Microsoft with no luck. The arranged to send a new rt since they couldn't fix it either. Later I tried to delete the cookies from IE. Which prior to that would acknowledge that I had downloaded 8.1. Deleting cookies worked and am now able to download the update. On a side note I called Microsoft back and they were surprised it worked and that it wasn't in their procedures.
Hope this helps.

Has anyone found a way to sync the phone on Windows 7? I´ve tried everything possible and "nada"... Anyone?
why just not use a beta OS?
xgm... thats the stupidest response ever. how does a product get tested if people dont test it?
now we know that activesync doesn't work properly and a bug report can be submitted.
Glad I found someone testing windows 7 on XDA! I'm having the same problem, but I hope for you it isn't as bad as it is for me. NONE of my USB ports are working. Have you tried using any other device? My zune won't sync either. I'm hoping that someone with computing intelligence greater than I will be able to tell us why, but for now I'm stuck with no zune and flashing from SD.
Are you guys all in the TAP program? The beta hasn't been released to us lowly testers yet.. If it's anything like the vista beta, don't expect to be able to sync until the equivilant of WMDC comes out.. although I would have thought that would work on winders 7..
It's an extremely interesting problem... when I plug in my zune or phone, it shows up in the safely remove hardware menu, so the computer is recognizing that it is plugged in. However, it isn't charging and it's never recognized in my computer. Another interesting thing is that the first time that I plugged both in after installing the new beta, it installed the new drivers. I just can't figure it out. It's like it wanted to recognize it and it's trying to but it just won't lol. The phone i can deal with since I can just keep popping my SD in the card reader but I really need to update my zune...
For me it's good
Im testing Windows 7 on my laptop (a Macbook), I installed the Windows Mobile Device Center from the CD that came with my Touch Pro and it's working perfectly!
Same here
I cant sync my HD in windows 7. I emailed Paul Thurott in hopes he may know what to do.
Window Mobile Device install but doesn´t detect Touch Pro
Update 3: removed Office 2007 Ultimate installed Enterprise... installing SP1 now to see if it does any justice to the sync..
Update 2: Sync work for Outlook but not for the calender or appointments.
Update: after rebooting... a third time, it worked. I have yet to test snyc with Outlook but the rest seems to work... will drop a note here as soon as I give it a go.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
I decided to give the Vistas Mobile Device a go on Windows 7 but no go. It installed but no sync to Touch Pro (Rafael)
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
windows 7
I was able to flash my rom in widows 7 but still no sync!
My Fuze is syncing fine for me in Windows 7 after installing mobile device center.

Ok I understand windows 7 needs to be tested but you said we know that activesync doesnt work properly, but is xda a windows 7 bug report collector? No. Im sure microsoft is aware that if there are problems with activesync.
When i read the post i figured the guy wants to sync his phone to his PC and the easiest way to not screw anything up is to use a tested working OS?
But yeah youre right, i guess my response was the stupidest ever right?
After Installing one NRG's Energy roms I was happy as hell. There was minor problems which I was able to resolve but one Windows Marketplace. Today I made the effort to solve this too and I did and I'm passing the information on to everyone else that has this same problem so enjoy the marketplace in two minutes from now.

"Well the Diamond was running a stock ROM, on my phone however typically I flash a custom ROM after a while. With this ROM the Marketplace application would simply fail when checking for updates, stating it was unable to connect with an error something like this:
Marketplace could not connect to the server. Please check your connection and try again.
One of the checks the Marketplace application seems to make us having a look at your version information. A lot of custom ROMs put thier own string in, which seems to be upsetting it. To check, open up your favourite registry editor and make your way to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Versions and change Aku to .5.3.00
And then soft reset and give it a go.
I applied these setting, reset and hello Marketplace.
ON my Rom the AKu was set to NRG, I changed it to .5.3.00 reset and now life is complete.
Mine works
Hi all
I've just opened WM Market place and was notified of an update to MySpace App. It's installing now. The AKU version in the Registry is
5.0.82, which I believe is correct as per the WM build.
Many thanks
andrew-in-woking
Looks like there was some kind of update to the Windows Marketplace app and it tried to download it but it keeps failing. I did the registry update previously and WM Marketplace was working fine until this update. Is there some other changes that need to be made?
Thanks.
Has anyone been able to use Windows Marketplace today on a flashed ROM?
My 1st post...need help, please.
I got my Transformer yesterday...everything's great except Flash Player 10.3 won't install. Yet no problems with other apps I've done.
I done it about 10-15 times through android.market and just end up with the message 'this app will be downloaded to your device shortly'...only it's been going on over 12 hours and it hasn't.
Tried it through default brower (app store directly)& DolphinHD...I can see it download, but it won't install.
I think on the 1st download I got disconnected from the server, but retried a lot of times since.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
PS Just tried something I found where Facebook app took a long time to install.
I hit the upper right 'app', saw the download appear and installed from there-that worked for this one and a couple others...but, not for Adobe Flash-tried it numerous times. Still looking for a solution, since this is why I wanted the transformer(s)
Find the thread named "flash 10.3 modded for hulu" or something like that and download the apk from there, then sideload it. From reading your post it seems u were trying to install flash from the web market and not the market app on the phone? If you haven't perhaps try that. Sometimes even on the market app some apps might take a few tries to install.

i've had issues with the market where it will say it is downloading something, but never starts.
easy fix, back out, then go back to the app you want to install and click install again. this solution has worked for me the handful of times I have needed it.
Thank You both for the help! Boy, this shows me being a newbie
I got it and I don't know how long I had it after trying 30-40 times. When I go into settings/applications/Manage applications...it was sitting there!
But, when I look at My Apps it was still sitting there to install and never gave me a message that I already had it. And when I looked at app icons it didn't show up...since learned it's not an application, but a plug in-so I was looking for it in the wrong place.
Lacrossev, Thanks, I did find that thread. Got as far as manually downloading it to my computer, plugged my TF into the computer which it saw....then I got totally lost on what to do. Now I'll search for more info on 'sideloading' in case I need it in the future.
In the end I spent 4-5 hours fighting this and had the fool thing-wow!
Thank you again Elgenja and Lacrossev for taking the time to write! Just yesterday I was going to send it back, now I really like it and not having any other problems...really pleased and learning.
Unless watching Hulu is a must for you right this moment, I wouldn't bother with the modded flash package just yet. It's still a work in progress, the current version bugs out if your browser is ever closed, and requires you to uninstall then reinstall flash to get working again. The install process for it is also a tiny bit gimmicky at the moment. If you just want flash working for everything else, just stick with what you have and enjoy hulu when the modded package works more easily and is more stable. That said, I follow those directions there everyday when I watch hulu on the TF, it works.

I had flash already, but when I upgraded to 10.3, it kept on saying done, but still shows that it's not installed and the "update" button was still available. No matter how many times I press update, it didn't install. But after rebooting it did. Try that.
Had the same problem updating Flash with mine. Had to go into settings and Manage Applications and uninstall the Flash that was already there. Then killed Market app using Advanced Task Killer. Opened Market again and it installed fine.
My Samsung focus arrived yesterday. I got the notification for an update. This may be for nodo. Mango is also about be rolled out.
So first thing to do is install zune, which requires at least win xp service pack 3.
My problem is my laptop came with pre installed windows XP service pack 2.
So, can anybody guide me on this? Are there some hassles in upgrading to sp3? I searched the net and micro soft site and others was pointing me to a file bigger than 300 MB. I also read some guys had some problems in already installed data. What is the safest way in my situation?
Thanks
My personal preference is to download the distribution file (300+MB) and install from that. My experiance using Windows update has not been good. Installs some undates, reboot, install some updates, reboot, etc, etc. Not sure if its smarter now or not, why chance it.
If you are that far behind in the OS, you may also find an issue with the Windows update agent after you install SP3. Without the latest agent, Zune may not update properly and Windows update website may not update you properly. Earlier this week this happened on both my XP Pro (w/ SP3) machine and a Vista Home Premium machine. So if you get the Zune update errors, you will need to get the latest update agent.

Hi everybody.
Here is the story of the pointless week I just had. Some of the information might be needed to help me, but if you want you can skip to the end for the actual question.
I got hold of an old surface rt at my girlfriend's place and, since I left my laptop in my own house, I thought I might try to set it up and use it for a few things I needed to do (not much more than checking emails, watching youtube and stuff like that). I quickly realised the device was a bit useless (microsoft store and windows update were not working properly, internet explorer being internet explorer and so on).
I then found a guide from alexenferman, and a few threads in this forum, on how to install windows 10. I am neither developer nor a true geek, but I can follow instructions and I messed about with this type of things in the past, so I thought I'd give it a try.
The first half of the process went quite smoothly and I was able to install windows 10 with SecureBooth disabled. The only issues I had were that I could not update windows 10 either, and I could not sign in with a microsoft account, which prevented me to use the store again and I had no way of installing apps from the appstore put together by alexenferman.
Quite frankly, I just got tired of wasting my time, so I decided to revert back to 8.1. For that, I first clean installed windows 8. Then, since I could not update to 8.1, I used a usb recovery image and reset my surface rt with windows 8.1.
At the moment I am on windows 8.1, the store works, but windows update doesn't. I keep checking for updates and get different errors. After troubleshooting a couple of times I now just get error 8024A000. I looked it up and tried the methods found online, sfc scannow cannot find anything, other fixes do not really work. Basically I feel in a loop and a bit lost (Speaking of loops, contacting microsoft support has been an infinite loop between the windows and surface division).
tldr: is there anybody here that can help me with updating Windows 8.1 RT (My goal would be to get to update 3 and possibly jailbreaking after that)? Did I mess things up irreversibly by installing windows 10? Should I just buy a new tablet and chuck away this useless piece of junk that is causing me a nervous breakdown? Thank you very much for your attention, and sorry for the lengthy message but I need someone to talk to, somebody that doesn't simply repeat a script.
