After upgrading my pc to win 7, I have problem with flashing my device and most probably I think the problem is with non compatibility between RUU & win7 ,that's because windows give an error message and close RUU automaticaly.
the problem is with both XP_RUU and Vista_RUU .
Please help with this.
What error show?
I don't have the Windows 7 beta installed anymore, so I'm not even sure this is possible, but if you can, install and run ActiveSync in degraded mode (XP), and do the same for the RUU (run in degraded mode). That might work, or it might brick your phone. I'd say about 50% either way.
Grab a copy of vmware player. Install XP in the virtual machine. Try vmxbuilder.com for building the virtual machine. Install Active Sync 4.5 on the Vm and you are set to go. When you plug your wizard into the PC, if the VM is in the foreground the usb will be redirected to the VM instead of windows 7.
I have been using this method to flash my wizard and has never failed. Much safer than a 50/50 chance of bricking your fone
Hello everybody,
I could not find any other experiences so far so I'd like to confirm that if someone is trying to use livesuit under WinXP running in a virtual machine in Virtualbox it works perfectly.
Just connect the tablet and then enable the new USB device in Virtualbox, and Windows will pick it up.
The only thing to take care of is that when the tablet is connected, a new hardware wizard comes up. At this point you need to MANUALLY install the drivers in the wizard TWICE before livesuit picks up the tablet.
If someone is having trouble I'd be happy to help.
I'm trying to do this a WinXP virtual machine inside of Mac OS X. Managed to install the drivers once but, virtualbox drops it quickly from the list of usb devices before livesuit can ask me if I want to flash the img
Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this is a MacOSX specific problem but wondering if you ran into the same problem.

I have a Surface 2 Windows RT tablet and I'd like to run TightVNC on it. My googling has lead me to believe I can accomplish this if my Surface is jailbroken. I have downloaded version 2 of the jailbreak tool and when I run it I am prompted for UAC and a second DOS window pops up that says "Error: the system can't find the specified registry key or value" that flashes and disappears. I'm still unable to launch TightVNC after this.
Can someone guide me as to what I'm doing wrong with this tool? Thanks!
Bumping for visability

I have problems running the Backup Tool by hx4700 Killer. Every time I try I get an error message: Input string was not in a correct format
I have tried to use the Backup Tool on different computers:
- 64- bit Windows 8

I have also tried to install Zune 4.7 without any success
I have installed Windows Phone Support Tools (version 2)
I have tried every version of the program, and get error messages every time (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103011)
Tried to follow this tutorial (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vkXVkPkFR8) (http://www.wpxbox.com/how-to-restore-and-backup-windows-phone-homebrew/)
What should i do?
Please answer if you have any suggestions!
I'd also like to know this one! Would like to replace the micro-SD of my Dell Venue Pro from 32Gb to 64Gb. So if someone has been able to make it work with Win7 and the latest Zune software version, please let us know about it!!!
I tried to run Windows 10 IoT from RPi2 on the Surface RT with included drivers from Surface RT. Appears BDOS error CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED. Maybe someone will change something? To run the system, unpack the archive on the USB-stick formatted in FAT32.
For launch on Surface RT, turn off the device, hold Vol- and press Power key. After turning on, release Vol- key.

P.S. You need the latest version of WinRAR;
My bet - missing drivers and USB boot. What device was source of Win10 IoT?
When Win10 for RPi2 was announced I thought about trying the same... sadly I don't own RT device anymore. But as it started booting, seems that secureboot certs are still valid

It is possible to run it, https://twitter.com/never_released/status/660133493872140288 (it's me)
That is fantastic! How were you able to do so, where others have failed?

I just installed the RPI image without modifications in a USB stick, after adding the Kits Secure Boot policy to fool Win10IoT
I wonder if it's possible to get Windows 10 Mobile executables to run?

Would be awesome btw..

You can actually install Windows IoT on any x86 tablet, like new surface or the ridiculously cheap Linx1010. On BayTrail tablets you can usually boot the minnowboard image and install all the drivers. For Apollo Lake you have to build your own image of Windows IoT because Microsoft does not provide x64 images, and most computer have 64-bit UEFI.
Check out my guide for detail, i can't post URIs here, but it's blog.quickbird run-windows-iot-everywhere (google that)
If I want to flash Win10 IoT instead of running off of USB, what would I need to do?
Edit: Nevermind -- I saw the youtube video. Anyone know the status on Redstone?
Any update on this? Would love for it to work
I have a Windows RT tablet. I successfully performed downgrade from 8.1 to 8.0. The former owner when sat on Windows 8.1 RT said that he was not updated. That's nice. After creating the second user, I started trying to perform secureboot debug. In the account policy I created another user and assigned to him all the roles, including administrator, User Replicator, etc. After that I managed to run the script and on a black background to press the treasured inscription "Accept and install". After the download, I ran the command that was in the Readme file from the Secureboot folder. After that I started to prepare a flash drive. Build ffu file Windows 10 IoT as a person from the video I mounted through the command DISM /mount-ffu. After that I added the files efi to download, but unfortunately further I did not succeed in doing anything. By the way I install a jailbreak. When you try to boot from a prepared SD card, it ignores it. All the methods are tried. What could be wrong? i may to record video
