Successfull.

Tried sometime back, but getting Activesync to detect the PPC is a little tricky. If detection works, flashing isn't a problem.

hi, what is your Host system, is it Ubuntu,
I have Vista as the Host OS, and XP Pro in VMware. VMware ver.6.0. I will try it I guess.

I tried flashing from a VMware guest - but it failed.

host: Linux 2.6 Gentoo
guest: WinXP SP3.
vmware server 2.0.1.
Phone: HTC Touch diamond

I does detect the phone - and activesync works fine.
But when trying to flash, the device reboots into "flashmode" - and eventough I attach the device to the guest - windows says it cannot regionise the device.
Any suggestion to getting flashing working in a vmware server 2.0.1 setup?

I managed to use Virtual XP Mode in Windows 7 RC to flash only the main ROM image a couple of times. When trying to flash a complete ROM (main, extROM, radio) it failed somewhere after 80 percent on the radio ROM. I reflashed using another PC with XP to fix the No GSM error.
