Any successful upgrades on Vista?

[floepie]

Just curious if this is working for anyone. It didn't seem to work for changing the splash screen to the black HTC on my aku 2.3.1 ROM. I don't think I would try this on a complete ROM upgrade.

I'm wondering if this is due to Vista or the aku...

Well, it seems these attempts should be avoided as related by others....

I could not install Jesterz AKU2.2 on Vista yesterday. Kept giving me Error [260], i.e. the upgrade tool was losing connection with the device. Worked fine on XP pro this morning.

It could be related to the Mobile Device Center that replaces Activesync.

tried a downgrade yesterday evening on vista and it smashed my phone.
so i don't recommend it you can't get a "good enough" connection in bootloader from windows vista to the phone and active sync is not working anyway so that crap will be away by this evening. It seems to me vista is not yet ready. Good enough means that it shows on the phone that USB sign in the bootloader but the flash utility can't get a connection

cr0ssy, that's exactly what happened to me. In the bootloader I get the USB sign but the upgrade tool won't recognise the device. What I noticed was that Vista uses a different driver than XP. This new driver is what could be causing the problem.

[cr0ssy]

hm maybe the old driver works on windows vista, too if just don't let it install automatically.

did you get the phone back to work?

I wonder if this has something to do with a move from NDIS- to a serial-based connection in Vista....

When in bootloader Vista recognises the device as Generic NDIS.

is yours back working kta? if, did you just put xp back on your computer and reflashed it in the bootloader? (or other computer)

Yes I then managed to flash the ROM from bootloader on another PC running windows xp.

[cr0ssy]

mh did you flash then with the usual boot utility? is it possible to flash these customized roms which have a upgraderom.bat or something like that in bootloader mode? (don't want to expermient now that its not really working anymore)

sorry for getting a little bit offtopic

[koven]

[cr0ssy]

which rom did you use and did you manage to install active sync?

phone is back working :> thanks kta

Yesterday I tried flashing my friend's Magician ROM on his Vista and had the same problem and had to use an XP laptop to flash. The upgrade utility program and others based on it (MaUpgradeUTNoID, etc.) seem to have a problem working with the new vista drivers.

without the beta Mobile Device Center, which you should downlad from MS, you can just access in explorer mode to your device, but you can not install anything to you device from vista. Just download the Mobile Device Center for Vista from the MS Page.

I have the Mobile Device Center installed and still have this problem.

the ROM upgrade tools do NOT work on vista (yet) there are several calls open with Microsoft to get this fixed, however I don't think it will be fixed in a few days seeing the speed of Microsoft......

For now, only update using windows xp

does the upgrade tools work on WinXP X64 edition?

They should as it has 32bit comp. however I havent tested it, so I'm not fully sure.
