Flashing with Vista
 

I've searched the forums, but can't find a concrete answer. I'm using Windows Vista with Mobile Device Center 6.1 and I'm having a problem flashing. Has anyone sucessfully done this? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks a lot!

I use Vista ultimate daily and don't have problems with it. I must say I think I'm the only one on the geeks who can say that. I have seen lots of problems come from Vista, and a lot of people who had no clue blame a lot of things on Vista. Have you gone to Microsoft and updated you Mobile device center? I think you can do it HERE. Thats the only thing I have done.

Re: Flashing with Vista
 

Some people have gotten flashing to work on a Vista machine by running the program in "XP Compat Mode" (right click)...if they cant find a XP machine.


But always check to make sure you are really up to date with Vista just like Lsme420 stated.

I flash with vista home premium no problems. You do have to update your windows mobile device center.

Re: Flashing with Vista
 

Make sure you also have the latest HTC drivers installed.

I too flash with vista no problems. As others have said make sure you install windows mobile device center. No need to run the flash app in compatibility mode or anything, it works fine. Even the unlocker tools and such work fine.

I have Vista Business at work and BuildOS fails every time. I have everything updated. I can run flash utils in compatability mode and they work fine, but BuildOS has never worked for me in Vista. I haven't tried too hard though because I also have an XP machine that is pretty much dedicated to ROM flashing now...

Same here

I can flash fine but I have to use the standard RUU everytime

Re: Flashing with Vista
 

I had problems until I started running BuildOS as administrator. All problems went away.

Re: Flashing with Vista
 

I just dont know what I'm doing wrong. I've flashed it before on a an XP computer no problem, but this is rediculous lol. Everytime I run the .exe file it will read my phone then say there's a connection error once it goes into boatloader. Ive updated the mobile device center to the newest I could find on the Microsoft website but I think the main problem stems from not reading my phone once it's in boatloader. Any suggestions on anything to try? All help is appreciated! Thanks a lot guys!

Vista and v1.00 phones do not play well together. Upgrade to v1.02 (preferred) or v1.04.

do this, it works. :)

Re: Flashing with Vista
 

Same here - once you run BuildOS as admin there should be no problems

Vista Ultimate SP1 Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1.695

I just flash my Apache 5 times in the last 24 hours because of the bug here

Mine did that the first time because windows had to install another driver - make sure when you phone is bootloader mode plugged into the computer there us no unrecognized devices.

Re: Flashing with Vista
 

I just successfully flashed with vista as well. Make sure you specify the correct bootloader version in BuildOS under version. It'll just hang if you don't.

That guide was written before the latest Vista MDC updates. It no longer applies or is needed.

Just flashed mine with Vista Ultimate 64bit no problems.
