Made 20GB... had been frequently suggested for win8

Now taking a look if I've got a spare usb stick.
[Shift Development] glowco:
Maybe I'm missing something here. On my X9500 I can't get by the error about the 800 MHz processor. Maybe you are on a different model?
[Shift Development] B-44:
Same thing occured with win8 if i recall right... early releases worked fine, and later ones also came up with this problem. (It may have been with BenQ MID S6 instead Shift, I'll try to find out.)

Don't know if there had been some workaround.

As MS is continuously working on it, it may depend on the releases' date.

Mine dates october 20th, but i won't be able to test until next weekend.

If ryu1 doesn't have another idea, it may be useful to share the release he uses.

The processor should always be the same.

What error are you talking about? i installed windows 8, then 8.1 and now 10 but never got any error about cpu.

Are you sure you didn't download the 64 bit version?
[Shift Development] glowco:
Win 10 Technical Preview lists as a requirement:

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster

Error complained about lower specification.

It was the 32-bit version.
[Shift Development] B-44:
"error" may be the wrong word.

The problem had been discussed in the thread i have linked above.

Again: it may be interesting to know the date of release.
[Shift Development] B-44:
Maybe i've got it...

in your how-to you say "Plug the stick to the Shift and boot from it".

You mean plug it in, start your shift, enter boot options and select usb stick to boot from, right?

I had prepared my usb stick with powerISO, plugged it in, opened my stick in devicemanager and doubleclicked "Install".

And ran into "your device won't be able to run Win10 because of less than 1GHz".

Maybe this was my mistake, and i won't have this problem when booting from stick.

Will report asap.
[Shift Development] B-44:
That's it..

Just do what daddy told us ;)

(And DON'T use windows installer.)

I haven't finished installation completely,

but right now i must say speed is amazing!

As some drivers are automatically installed to volume "C" i think i'll switch the names of C and X

(the partition i'm installing to), reinstall all drivers and then switch back.

edit: obsolete, win has done it by itself ;)
[Shift Development] ryu1:
Sorry for the delay, but i am very bussy these days. Anyway the installation mus be done by booting from usb stick, not via installer.

I have allready installed windows 10 on the main hdd instead of windows 8.1. There are a few things i forgot to mention on the first post, when booting into safe mode to delete the "dumpsd" and "sdbus" files you'll need permission to delete them. Just follow this instructions to change the permission: http://www.askvg.com/guide-how-to-take-ownership-permission-of-a-file-or-folder-manually-in-windows/
[Shift Development] B-44:
That's what i just was about to ask you, as i am stuck at this point...

Will try later and report

Tomorrow.

edit: Think you should for your own sake update your initial post, concerning boot process and rightsmanagement.

Further visitors won't follow the whole thread and'll bomb you with questions.
[Shift Development] glowco:
Oh, by error I meant I received an error message when trying to do the install the way I had tried it. I will read the new information posted here, thanks all.
[Shift Development] B-44:
Finished installation yesterday, everything was fine, quick'n'clean when suddenly wifi stopped working.

Marvell shows error code 10 and winupdate seems to have installed a different adapter.

SD adapter same error.

Had a similar experience when i installed win7, but there i already had a restore point to return to,

and since then everything was fine.

Will make a clean reinstallation, and after adding the wififix disable wifi to avoid possible system updates

and create a basic restore point i can return to each time winupdate kills something.

Preview build 9879

Anyone managed to get the latest build to work. Mine gives a message that my display resolution is too low and stops the upgrade.

Shame really as this works very well on the Shift, and with rumours that win 10 could be free it would have been a good o/s for this computer.
[Shift Development] B-44:
Please post code 0f builtversion.
[Shift Development] allan@portlock52.freeserv:
Build 9860
[Shift Development] B-44:
Thanks, will take a look at mine asap.

btw- which winversion do you have installed,

which resolution has your shift's screen been set to before update,

and at which step did installation stop?
[Shift Development] allan@portlock52.freeserv:
I've solved the problem for now by creating a new iso of the latest build 9926 on DVD (came out a couple of days ago) and installing it fresh. It is tedious because you to start afresh with installing shift specific drivers.

Took a long time to install (2 hours) this is clearly a build getting near to beta as it runs slower on the shift and has a lot more in it. Everything works following the instructions on this thread (I've become adept at it now as I have done it so many times). Still have some tinkering to do.

[Shift Development] B-44:
Slower than earlyer releases but faster than win7?
[Shift Development] allan@portlock52.freeserv:
Ok an update: my shift has 120gb Kingspec ssd and even vista ran better. I'm a computer engineer so I had multiple partitions for some old o/s's ie win 2, 3.11, 98 ,ME, XP etc mainly for running old DOS stuff I still have (I'm in my 60's so have a lot of old software from dos). I put win 10 on the largest partition and as I said it took 2 hours to install and ran not bad but slower than win 7.

I decided to start again and wiped the partitions and reinstalled win 10 build 9926 into the empty ssd. This time the install from DVD took 25 mins, another 25 mins to do the driver installs on this post.

I hooked up via Ethernet (not wifi) and left the shift for about an hour and it had done many updates including the screen resolution, once the hdd light stopped flashing I did the wifi fix and now everything works and it flies. The internet explorer is a dream with smooth scrolling and zooming with double tap, videos play smoothly as does youtube and BBC tv. I find it hard to believe that I am using a seven year computer with 800mhz cpu and 1 GB of ram. Its well worth trying it.

In summary it is the faster than Vista, win 7 equal to Win XP but looks nicer, never tried win 8.

Don't use windows Installer.

Take a look back in this thread - we've already had this point.

Obviously we won't be able to use the update function,

but'll have to perform a clean installation.
[Shift Development] ryu1:
Hello, i finally found some time to post the latest news about windows 10 on htc shift. The latest build i installed on the device is 10049.

The firs thing to say is that the connection between the windows mobile side and windows 10 no loger works. i installed the windows mobile device center, but it just doesen't detect the pda. In rest everything works ok.

The installation procedure is mostly the same, with a litthe extra thing to do:

When i booted windows in safe mode to replace the files for the wifi, i was welcomed with this screen:

And nothing worked, not even the file explorer. This is a known bug, and microsoft is not really interested to fix it yet. However i found a workaround:

Pressing win+r key combination again will pop the run command again. This time click on "browse" from there right-click on any folder and select "open in new window" and you'll have the file explorer working, so you can replace the files.

Here is a video with build 10049 on the shift:

[Shift Development] ryu1:
Update - the detection of windows mobile has been fixed in windows 10 build 10074.

Everything works good now.
[Shift Development] vinokirk:
Great to see Win 10 is working well on the Shift. I will update my 'THE HTC SHIFT LIBRARY' thread with this :)
[Shift Development] natboy:
Anyone try Win10 final yet?
[Shift Development] mcsty:
I upgraded from genuine Win7 to Win10 and now it works great to have a 800mhz CPU!
[Shift Development] B-44:
Just to be sure:

Did you use windows system update?

And if so: what about drivers- did you have to reinstall them as demanded in Post#1

or is it not necessary with system update?
[Shift Development] mcsty:
Yes, I have updated last weekend from Genuine Win7 to officinali genuine Win10

(yes, some years ago I bought Win7 update payed 89euro)
[Shift Development] mcsty:
Win10 update process detected all driver except HTC EC and touchpad. I installed them and now it works good.

Wi-Fi doesn't work. I tried with wi-fi.zip (it worked good on Win7, but it doesn't work on Win10) then I use a new Wi-Fi USB dongle 802.11n bought on eBay for 2,72 euro :)
[Shift Development] B-44:
Which WiFi driver did you use?
[Shift Development] ryu1:
Well it seems like the method i posted in the first post, doesen't work anymore in windows 10 official release. I couldn't get the wifi to work.

Looks like we have to find another way. I will try to get it fixed as soon as i will have some spare time.
[Shift Development] adamo86:
I wanted to know can I permanently run w10 or do I have to run it off the USB in every boot. Also does all features work like finger print etc since my shift can make calls via snapvue will that work as well. also can someone post a link for downloading the w10 I went to the website but no link rather info on how to get the pop up icon on w7 to able to get download of w10.
[Shift Development] B-44:
SnapVue shouldn't be affected.

Running some Preview Fingerprint didn't work for me.

USB was only necessary for installation, not for booting afterwards.

Maybe we should cling to latest previews without autoupdate,

as here wifi worked.

Quite possible this icon doesn't appear due to Shifts' unsufficient tech specs?
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
It would be wonderful if you can find a fix to get wifi working with Windows 10 on the Shift.

I'm still using my Shift, with windows 10, and the device seems younger today than it did when it was launched with Vista!

Granted that the Shift is underpowered, but I find it surprising that the Shift sell for such a low price given that it was expensive when released and to this day it is the only windows device that HTC have ever made.

[Shift Development] glowco:
So, do the re-uploaded drivers fix the WiFi on Win 10?
[Shift Development] ryu1:
No, i re-uploaded the drivers becase i received a lot of pm messages from people asking for the drivers.

I tried some tricks to get the wifi to work, but no success. I will investigate this further.

For now, the best way is to use a usb wifi dongle.
[Shift Development] thesilence1:
Searching google I came across this guide, it’s in Korean. I used translate to kinda read it. The author had attached some files, I downloaded them and installed them on fresh install. I copied the included sdbus.sys and restarted, I already installed the drivers before and when came back up I could choose SSIDs. I attached the files I hope they help.

Only things I had to do is change te resolution via VistaECDrvV1 as usual and delete the sdbus.sys (after taking ownership, see post # 1) and copy the sdbus.sys from the Korean post (8.1 sd8686.zip) and WiFi is working again.

8.1 sd8686.zip from fost #50

I had tried a new installation by ryu's tutorial but i used Windows 10 enterprise iso download from the internet. Firstly, after install the drivers step by step (take owner of sdbus.sys and dumpsd.sys---->>delete it and copy ryu's files instead to system32/drivers) everything run correctly except the driver problem of sdio8686 and fingerprint (go to device manager will have exclamation on the two devices). Before i delete two original sdbus.sys and dumpsd.sys i saved them to the desktop. Now i just overwrite the original dumpsd.sys and korean sdbus.sys to system32/drivers and wifi work perfectly. I can unlock the htc by fingerprint instead of password too. I do not know if the dumpsd.sys effect to wifi.. If you didn't save the original dumpsd, can download it below. And I recomend turn off automatic update because it will make the pda run very slowly, turn it on when everything done.
[Shift Development] Frank Versloot:
no i didn't touch dumpsd.sys
[Shift Development] ryu1:
I can confirm that it is working with the sdbus file from the korean website. First post updated with the new file.

Thanks to all for getting wifi working with Windows 10 on the HTC Shift.

Everything is working on my Shift now, apart from the SD card. Is the SD card reader still an unresolved problem or have I missed something?

I disabled transparency and changed the graphical effects to best performance to keep things running smoothly

Evernote runs beautifully on the Shift. And Word Mobile and Excel Mobile are free on the shift because of the small screen size..
[Shift Development] mcsty:

[Shift Development] ryu1:
Windows 10 IoT (internet of things) is only for development boards (raspberry pi) and run only on arm cpu's. It will not work on htc x9500 or any other x86 laptop.

I did not test the sd card slot, but if it isn't working, maybe we have to replace the other files (dumpsd, spaceport, etc), i only replaced sdbus.sys.

Windows 10 runs markedly better on the HTC Shift if you open settings-privicy-background apps and turn off lots of apps in the background. You can still use them, but they will no longer hog resources when they are not being used. Task Manager showed my memory usage jump down from 900Mb to 600Mb doing this, hence a massive improvement in performance.
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
For kicks, I tried running Steam Flight Simulator X on my HTC Shift running Windows 10. To my amazement, it worked brilliantly, with smooth graphics, obviously using the minimum settings. I thought the 1Gb memory would be insufficient but it was 100% playable. I use an Xbox 360 controller. I do not have any upgrades in my Shift - it is still running on the original slow factory HDD. The only thing that I had to do was to install the older Sherry graphics driver as FSX complained that the Intel graphics driver was not compatible.

The crazy thing is, this would have been totally unfeasable when the Shift came out because Vista was slower and non Steam Flight Simulator X ran like a dog even on a high end laptop at the time.

However, the program took up about 15Gbs so I had to reflash my sensible drive image after my geeky adventure.

So here's to the HTC Shift and it's AMAZING speakers.

WiFi, SD-card and fingersensor still not working

Hi all,

many thanks for all the helpful infomation in this thread!:):good:

Due to that I've updated my HTC Shift successfully to Windows 10, but WiFi, SD-card and fingersensor still doesn't work. All tries with the WiFi-fix and exchanging the driver files always lead to a damaged Windows system. When rebooting, Windows stops with a black screen and the system can only be restored by hardreset and system recover. Are there some new findings concerning the drivers?

Thanks again, Ronald.
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
As far as I know steps 10 to 16 of the first post of this thread are still valid for getting the wifi to work. But the steps are difficult to perform - I had difficulty performing those steps every time in the past, especially with step 13 as the value to use for username is not obvious.

SD never worked with Windows 10 on my Shift.

The fingerprint sensor was working last time I tried it with Windows Hello, some months ago, but I haven't used it since.

Good luck.
[Shift Development] HiuMinor:
Hi Flanimal, thanks for your quick answer.

Once knowing how it works, I had no problem exchanging the sdbus.sys file from the 1st thread. But when rebooting the systems hangs completely (Windows start sequence begins and a few seconds later a black screen remains forever). So for now I have to live without WiFi. At home I can use LAN and away I mostly use the Shift as a typewriter. Maybe the problems are related with the Windows 10 updates changing the system each month.
[Shift Development] Flanimal:
I feel your pain. I thought wifi was lost on my HTC Shift for quite some time with Windows 10 but thanks to the XDA forum experts I got it working after almost giving up hope.

I have performed the sequence in the first thread post three times in the past. All three times successfully got Windows 10 working with wifi, but all three attempts were no easy ride for me - each time I had to faff around before it worked. Unfortunately, the issue that you are getting does not ring any bells with me, so I don't know what the problem or solution might be.

If you wish spend more time on this, the only idea that I can suggest is to try not doing a step, and see if that prevents the black screen booting problem. Then you would know exactly which step is responsible for the boot problem, and you could perhaps focus on some variations on that step to see if you can massage it into working.

If the time to repeat the process is too lengthy, you could use the control panel->file history->create HDD image option to snapshot the HDD image and restore it at will so that you can relatively quickly try variations. Just ask if you need more info on how to do this. A full 40GB HDD takes about 40 minutes to restore, so I suspect a bare bones HDD image should only take about 10 minutes with no interaction necessary so you could play a couple of games of Kevtris 2 on the Windows Mobile side while waiting :) I use a bootable Windows 10 usb stick to restore the image to the HDD.

Ah, I just remembered something. After installing Windows 10, I did connect to the internet using the ethernet usb hub and an ethernet cable connected to my router. So I probably did all the windows updates, THEN created a HDD image (so that I could repeat attempts if I cocked things up), and THEN attempted the wifi solution steps. Probably.

If all fails or if it is a hardware problem, then bluetooth tethering might be fallback alternative.
[Shift Development] HiuMinor:
Thanks again for your compassion. I promise, I will have another try. But then with the step-by-step boot option to see where Windows get stuck. And I will try the HDD-image, currently I use a complete image just before the WiFi-driver installation and this lasts awfully long to restore.

Unfortunately this has to wait a few weeks, because I will not have a free weekend before August. I will keep you posted.

Has anyone managed to install Windows 10 Anniversary Update on their HTC Shift?

I tried downloading the updater from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 but I was thwarted by a massage saying that the minimum CPU is 1Ghz. I realise the minimum specs are 1Ghz and 2Gb RAM, but I want to try it out nevertheless.

I just have finished installing Windows 10 Anniversary on my Shift and it's running great. Even the resolution-switch between 800x480 and 1024x600 ist working now. For installation I prepared an USB-stick with the MediaCreationTool on another PC and ran the Update from it without any problems - but it lasts almost 10 hours!

You should have enough space on your disk (about 10 GB) and deinstall the VitaKey software, because it would not run anyway and it seems to disturb the login process (booting lasts for me half an hour instead of minutes without it). WiFi is still not running either.
