You have the new bootloader. Bootloader versions 1.04, 2.04, and 2.05 require a different ROM Upgrade Utility than earlier versions. The way you select that is from the BuildOS window, look at the top toolbar where it says "Standard". Click that and a drop-down menu will come up... choose X.04+ from that menu and build your ROM again. That will cause it to flash with the correct RUU for your device.

Edit: Also you should turn Mobile Device Center USB back on. That should only be off while replacing the driver for Vista. You could also put your phone into bootloader mode (Power + Notes + Soft reset) first before connecting to USB to save a step.

Does that mean i'll have to limit the size of the rom like in 2.04 and 2.05?

thanks ahead of time

No... for whatever reason the 1.04 bootloader doesn't change the size of the ROM partition like 2.04 and 2.05. No no harm keeping 1.04--just need to use the newer RUU to flash it.

Just redid with the X.04 ruu, got same error RUU has stopped responding.
Here is exactly what i am doing on my vista x32
1) Mobile device center usb on
2) Put phone in bootloader mode
3) plug phone to USB
4) USB is recognized
5) run BuildOS
6) select x.04, verizon, apache, and HTC splash at top bar
7) pick items wanted, and click green play button
8 pick verizon.prj when asked
9) click encode when asked, then exit when done
10) upgrade screen comes up and i press next
11) get error "RUU has stopped responding"


also, just noticed if i have my phone hooked up to device center for normal sync and i try to transfer a large amount of files from the computer to the phone after sometime i will get an error saying the process can not be completed the device has disconnected.

Hi. Thanks a lot for all your great work, guys!! I have a problem -- when I installed the new kitchen -- the first version of it -- what is happening is that I have apps which are in Windows, but there is no link in either start menu or programs. Now, there is a lot of functionality missing and I don't know if its just that the shortcuts are not there or ther problems -- but I am wondering -- have I done something wrong, overfilled the ROM or what?

One hing missing is I have calendar.exe in \windows, but no shortcuts in Programs or start menu.

Thanks again for some great work -- I am sure this can be solved without too much difficulty.

Try this... I saw it in another post last night... I'm having the same issue with my Vista machine, but I also have an XP so I've been using that...

Plug your USB cable into the back USB slot.... there was a guy that used it on his side panels on his laptop and I tried it on my front panels. He said when he used his read panel it worked.

Don't flame me as I know this sounds stupid... but it's worth a shot.

Not stupid at all .... for you, but for Microsoft.
It's because when you plug the phone into the back set of USB slots, it's on a different USB controller, and forces the install of the drivers again. (Probably something went wrong the 1st time they were installing when you used the front USB slots).

If this works, you can use the front slots again, if you go to Device manager and remove the USB device (not the controller) as this will force the phone drivers to install again.

This is all due to Microsoft being really friendly.... not.
(But hey, it keeps me in a job).

I think maybe something happened during the step where you changed the sync driver. Are you running Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1? If so, actually you should be able to revert the driver back to the original one (go to start and type in the search box "Device Manager" with your PPC connected. Find the entry for your PPC (the one you changed in the modaco guide) and open it up, go to the driver tab and choose Roll Back Driver.

If you have UAC off then no need to do anything else--just try flashing again. If you still have UAC on (the dark screen double beep allow/deny thing) then you need to go into the kitchen folder, then to the Upgrade folder, then to the NewBootloader_RUU folder. Right click on ROMUpgradeUT.exe, go to the compatibility tab and choose "Run this program as an administrator" and click OK.

Also, assuming you have more than one USB port (no matter where it is), try using a different one than you have been using after making the above changes.

I just reinstalled Vista myself and with the new version of Windows Mobile Device Center, the modaco driver change step is no longer required.
