windows 7 and diamond touch

---

hey people,

I know I am writing about a known topic since I have been looking on the internet for hours, however I'm absolutely not finding the answer, it is so frustrating. Hope someone can help.

I connect my diamond touch (WM 6.1 pro, thanx to xda dev) to my freshly installed windows 7 utlimate on my iMac 27". It simply doesn't connect. I managed to install windows mobile device center, but it does not recognize my phone. I can connect mounting the phone as disk, but I want to sync. When I use active sync the computer sees it either as a generic RNDIS device (fast transfer checked on in pc-usb connection) or as unknown device (fast transfer checked off). For both it cannot find a proper driver when windows start looking for it! I have tried everything so far. Reinstalling WMDC, restarts, reboots, change usb ports. I don't know what to do anymore, please help me.

Best regards,

Barbet

Win7 mobile center, need install a driver.

drvupdate-x86.exe

you can search this file. I don't know why I can not put in the link.

Hmmm

Did that driver thing work? I didn't have any problems connecting from a PC. Are you using a VM or have you installed windows 7 on your mac? Try using a virtual machine.

Windows 7 by default do not recognise a lot of phone, you need mobile center to make it work, on microsoft.com -slash- windowsmobile -slash- en-us -slash- downloads -slash- microsoft -slash- device-center-download.mspx

thanx so much for your replies, however my problem is still not solved. I really don't want to use any viritual windows versions on my mac, it was a cramp to install it via bootcamp. I made sure all drivers were correct and all my hardware is working. Still problem is not solved. I have installed media pack, i have installed and reinstalled WMDC multiple times, i have installed any updates possible, i have tried different settings on my cell. Either i get: generic RNDIS driver not availible or i get generic serial driver not availible (serial doesn't even make sense, it is a usb connection). Anyways, i really really really want a solution.

btw, drvupdate-x86.exe is for 32 bit, i have 64 bit, i used drvupdate-amd64. It is properly installed.

Ow and i tried to deinstall WMDC update to reinstall it, but it was not possible to deinstall it!!! It deinstalls to 99% and then the process bar runs BACKWARDS. I didn't even know it was possible running these bars backwards. It certainly confirms why I prefer mac.

This will sound really dumb - but make sure you try it with the USB cable the phone came with. I was having problems for days until I tried a different USB cable... and there you go.

i will try again, but i remember trying similar things, also switching usb port, i tried didn't work


edit:
i did as you said and doesn't work

it does appear properly as disk if, but the moment you select 'active sync' it doesn't appear anymore,

i hear the sound that confirms the connection, and in the devicemanager i can see the device but with a warning that the driver is not installed

i have to edit first post, i am running wm 6.5, sorry, maybe this gives an anwer?

i think a solution can be in the WMDC driver update

i think i should uninstall it and reinstall it with my htc pluged in

however i can't uninstall it as i said before

i read that 'undocumented service' is necessary, however can find what it is

uninstalling via 'remove programs' doesn't work, neither normal or in safemode

someone help me further?
