@@Vista and upgrade [email protected]@ - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development

hello to all.....
i know that some time ago the firmware upgrade on a Windows Mobile phone was available only on Windows XP and ActiveSync.
Now that Windows Vista are almost a year alive........activesync died and Windows Mobile Devive Center took its place.
i correctly synchronize my Atom Exec via USB and the firmware upgrade procedure starts.......
after a while the bar isnt loaded at all and an emergency window tells me that
''no download target found''
any ideas what the problem is?

I just screwed my ipaq rw6828 for trying upgrading to wm6 with vista 32bit, upgrade run 40% and stop for a long long time, i disconnect it, unload the battery and whalla! my ipaq is brick, now i am trying to revive it

You should use a program that create a virtual machine, install winXP on that virtual machine, and upgrade from it, as we don't have an upgrade program that can run on win vista.

Win xp x64 : WM 5.0 - will it work?

hello my friends,
i'm thinking about upgrading my desktop OS from Win Xp Pro (sp2) to the latest Win Xp x64 edition.
but i'm afraid that with my new WM 5.0 & ActiveSync 4 won't work in that new OS. hv anyone tried to sync himalaya with Win Xp x64?
another question is about the radio version for WM 5.0. i hv radio 1.08 installed with ROM 1.50g.00WWE and i have no problem whatsoever. my question is what's the different between the radio version. (1.08 / 1.10 / 1.18 / 1.17). sorry if this matter have been discuss before. i can't find the thread.
pls reply. thx a lot
so guys, what do u think?. Buzz, maybe u could give your technical point of view? will it only work on sp2?
that shouldnt be a problem because Windows x64 is also compatible with 32bits program.
From a programmers point of view there should be a problem.
But who knows... its MS.
I would take the chance and try.
my real concern is about the drivers. i heard some people using Win Xp x64 got compatibility problem with some of the software such as the iTunes & Creative Media Source.
maybe the best way is to wait for another month or so for the manufacturers to release the latest & optimised drivers for Win Xp x64.
why dont call MS and ask. they have tech-support for things like that.
pdas dont use drivers to connect to windows it's all handled by
activesync so if activesync works on 64bit xp then any wm5 should sync
u'huh! so what i should do now is just ask someone who is using Win Xp x64 edition to see whether ActiveSync 4 work or not on that OS.
thx.
it works
active sync works on a X64 system without any problems. I am regularly using my Imate JJ with X64. Only problem i have is that I dont have 64 bit drivers for the USB modem.
it works,I tried it once with my blueangel, but one problem that I had was the inability to browse my device in explorer (cant see my documents on the device), but I think I was still using a beta version of async that time, (not sure), but you can 100% synchronize with outlook and other stuff

USB Modem Driver issue

Hi,
I was using Internet over the USB Modem via my O2 Atom Xda on windows xp. I bought this new laptop that has windows vista on this. I cannot install the USB Modem driver on the windows vista machine. Does any one have a driver that would work on windows vista?

If You use wm6 or 6.1 please use internet sharing in windows mobile.
Hi!!!
What if one is using WM5???? I think MWG is really behind schedule with drivers. Its no point buying MWG phones if they can't keep drivers uptodate and easily available.

upgrade ur device to wm6

Rom Upgrade on virtual machine?

Hi all,
I am running on MacOSX and I have a prophet.
Unfortunately I input a Kayser rom and now my Prophet does not recognize any touch gestures.
Is it risky to upgrade through a virtual machine?
Thanks for your reply or comments.
hi
no its not risky... i also did it on windows 7... i just install xp on my vm from microsoft... and then upgrad my prophet under xp... and its working fine...
greeze..
ps: r u using a mac or just install a mac on a normal pc... if you install it on a pc, can you tell me how to do it?? i want to try it on my old notebook.. thx...
thanks!
However I am wondering if your reply is good to me...
Your both system are windows...Do you think it changes anything if I am on Mac and open a virtual machine...
I will give it a try, post the result in half an hour...(I hope!)
i couldn't upgrade using vista initially, but after using vmware & installing win xp, it all went ok. done this a lot of time with no problem.
only thing is when you are doing in vm, make sure you are in the vm window while it is upgrading, if you change window back to your osx, the usb connection might be lost & screw the upgrade

Am i missing something

Ok so got a HTC Mozart and debranded it from orange and installed a 32gb mem card now my problem is that it wont sync with zune when using windows 7 64bit ultimate. Now if i use vista 64 bit it will sync with no problem at all. Now i have tried changing the driver and cable and also usb port but still the same outcome so please could someone tell what im doing wrong here or is this just a fault in windows itself?
problem SOLVED
how?
first i did a fresh install of vista 64bit and installed my normal software that i use then i installed zune and connected the phone and once the computer had recognized it properly i then used my upgrade disk of windows 7 ultimate and went on to upgrade from vista and my mobile is now working like a charm with windows 7
