(Thanks to invictive for the screenshots and testing) << I LINKED TO HIS SCREENSHOTS

UPDATE: Please try downloading the latest WMDC first before attempting anything in this section of the guides. you will find the latest version HERE .

To follow this guide please make sure you have a copy of WinRAR installed, I will refer to the Windows Mobile Device Centre as the WMDC for ease of reading. If you do not have the WMDC installed please go here to install it first.

​

One problem with windows VISTA is that it uses the new "Windows Mobile Device Centre" and not activesync which we are used to, thus our standard RUU programs will not upgrade our Hermes devices as in windows XP. This guide will show you how to configure VISTA to work just the same as XP with our RUU programs.

For this guide firstly you need to download the new drivers:

Drivers for Windows Vista x32

Drivers for Windows Vista x64

NOTE:: If you are using a x64 bit computer, you will need to boot up with driver signing enforcement turned off. To accomplish this, you will need to press F8 during boot up. If you do not do this, the 64 bit drivers will not install properly and this tutorial will not be of any use to you.

Extract the contents to a folder on your desktop, call this folder "AS_DRIVERS". It contains the drivers from activesync which we will use instead of the native VISTA WMDC drivers when the device is in bootloader.

Now you must enter the bootloader on your device, to do this press and hold both the side ok button and the power button then put your stylus into the hole on the bottom of the device, your device will reset and show the red blue green bootloader screen. LEAVE THE DEVICE IN BOOTLOADER MODE and connect it using the USB cable to your VISTA PC.

​

​

​

Now navigate into the WMDC (Start>All Programs>Windows Mobile Device Center) and click on the "connection settings" menu icon.
​

​

​

​

In the connection settings menu untick "allow USB connections" then press OK.
​

​

Now exit the WMDC and return to the desktop, go into the start menu and type "Services", this will take you into the local services dialogue and show a list of all services either running or registered with your pc.
​

​

​

​

​

Scroll down the list and make sure these services are present:

Windows Mobile-based connectivity

Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity

If these services are not started then double click each one and set them to Automatic start by clicking the "startup-type" drop-down menu and selecting automatic then click the start button in the same window, apply the setting by pressing OK. Now return back to the desktop again.
​

​

​

​
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dharvey4651:
Go into the start menu and type "Device Manager" then run, this will take you into the device manager. Click the "+" symbol next to "Mobile Devices" and double click on "HTC USB Sync".
​

​

This will bring up the properties of the currently connected device (the hermes in bootloader).
​

​

​

​

Go to the "Driver" tab and click "Update Driver".
​

​

​

​

Click "Browse My Computer for Driver Software".
​

​

​

​

Select "Let me pick from a list...."
​

​

​

​

Click the "Have Disk" button.
​
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dharvey4651:
​

​

Click "Browse" and navigate to the AS_DRIVERS folder we created earlier.
​

​

​

​

Vista x32 users select the file "wceusbsh.inf"
​

Vista x64 users select the file "wceusbshx64.inf"
​

​

Then click Open.
​

​

​

​

click next and the driver will be installed (wait a moment).
​

​

​
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dharvey4651:
​

​

Press close and escape back to the desktop now.

Now we must stop the WMDC process, start the task manager by pressing Ctrl+Shift+Escape.

Click the WMDC line and click "End Process". In the confirmation window, again press End Process.

Now re-enter the WMDC and re-enable USB connections (click connection settings and tick the box "enable USB connections").

Your RUU programs for HardSPL/Radios/WM6 ROMs should now run as desired once you are synced with WMDC. Since we have updated the driver which Vista uses when the device is in bootloader mode.
​

NOTE:: This technique is still in testing so if you have any issues please post in the official thread. Until we find another way to get RUU working with vista you may need to revert back to XP for upgrading your Windows Mobile Based Device.

Thanks!

I saw this same article somewhere else and already did this

Thanks for posting this here though! Also, it helps to use the windows mobile device center 6.1 update. It works both on my desktop Vista Ultimate computer and my mom's home premium laptop

Also, a little sidenote, if you want windows mobile device center to display your own phone as the image instead of the standard PDA/PPC Phone/Smartphone image when you sync follow these steps:

Disable USB connections in Windows Mobile Device Center

Uninstall the drivers for your device from device manager

Save the image you want to use as an icon file called sync.ico

Save the icon to the windows folder on your ppc

Disconnect your PPC and enable USB connections again

Wait for the computer to reinstall the device driver and it will sync with the new icon

Sorry, I don't remember who first suggested this. I take NO credit for this whatsoever.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Uhu911:
works nice, but the Vista update tool is out of date. Cant flash my Wizard with it. :(
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] neonkoala:
Doesn't work with G4.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dharvey4651:
Have you tried my tutorial on how to dual boot your computer so that it has Vista and XP on it? I started having problems with my phone not flashing properly after like 2 weeks. I installed a few Windows updates and then the drivers stopped working so I set up my computer to have Vista and XP on it so that I can use Vista on a daily basis and only use XP when I'm working on my phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] danielvelez:
Anybody have found a Vista Update Utility for G4?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] frazell:
Thanks!

This got my G4 to finally stop giving me connection errors in the boot loader!

Now I can finally get my G4 unbricked :D

I used the shelltool successfully in Vista 32bit, but the world isn't liking me for flashing in 64bit so far... Either way, thanks!

Also, you might want to update the tutorial to tell 64bit users to boot up with driver signing enforcement turned off (Press F8 on boot up) else the 64bit drivers won't take.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] dharvey4651:
Thank you very much for that piece of input. I will definitely update the tutorial as per your advice to better assist 64bit users.

Thanks again, Dan.

The Vista RUU doesn't crash as I was used to, but it doesn't run either (with a prophet that is) it 's complaining about "beeing outdated".

Are there any solutions yet known for this inconvenience? Thanks in advance!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] geok:
Vista RUU

Is there a newer version of the ROM update utility? The one posted above doesn't run, but, rather, just complains that it's out of date!

The driver method detailed above works great (with the caveat for x64 users that they have to disable the driver signing restriction), but unfortunately I'm still no further along because I can't seem to find an RUU that will work!

If anyone knows of one that really works on Vista, please pass it one. (I've searched through all these postings, but none seem to work!)

Thanks much for the detailed driver instructions!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] uber.:
Thanks for the Vista instructions, helps me out! but I ran into a problem degradeing to unlock my CID. Im not sure its me,software,and/or myphone but I got a invalid Vender ID error 294. I am using a wizard 8125 for this and using Vista. This is my first time, but im loaded on knowlaege unless i missed somthing. Thanks in advance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] geok:
Still no luck with Vista!

Has anyone found a complete method to flash on Vista? As posted above, the RUU included with this thread doesn't work. It gets most of the way through and then, just before starting to flash, gives a "This utility is out of date" error and exits. :(

Again, the driver instructions given in this thread are sound, but without a working RUU they only give you half of the solution for flashing on Vista.

I have successfully flashed using Shelltool, but it works sporadically at best.

Does anyone have a start to finish solution?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] docnas:
I followed the instructions given in this forum and they seemed to work perfectly for me.

here is my 2 cents though i had initially flashed my device using the origional t-mobile rom (SPL/IPL 3.08 radio 2.69) and it worked without any problems. It was only when i tried flashing with a cooked rom that it gave me problems.

Here are the RUU file from that rom and hopefully someone can figure out why it worked

I have note 4 (so supports exfat) and atm I have a sd kingstone 32 gb with fat32. just copy/past all the folders from the old microsd to the new one (I have windows 7) but after I put the new 128 microsd in the note 4 was nearly everything perfet.I was able to see the fotos/video olso the gb of the sd was correct but...a fews games and a few app I just lost the shortcut and they dosent work anymore.ATN I put back my 32 gb sd thinking how to sort out the problem.I think the problem ist the different fat of the two sd card.At this point I will ask u help.Exfat is bettar (I meane battar saves future problems ) rispect the fat 32 or there is not so many differents?Another question I have two options...witch will be the best one? 1) I can convert my 32 gb sd (with alla data and foto) from fat32 gb to exfat and then copy the 32 gb exfat on the 128 gn exfat 3) convert the 128 gb exfat to fat 32 with application as fat32format and then copy the 32 gb fat32 in to the 128 gb fat 32.What u think will be the best way?And...I have win 7 on ntfs if I just copy all the 32 gb sd (fat32) in a folder on my coputer that will be a good way to save then as backup?

Thank's

Helen

:cool:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YousKoose:
Yes backup all files from the 32gb onto the comouter, then format the 128gb card to fat32 and transfer all the files to it, its pretty simple
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helen2:
Do u think so?I just did that but I dident sort out the problem I begin to think that Is not the fat32/ exfat problem still having only shotcuts without icons ok this is with old sd [IMG="old sd"]http://uffabuffa.altervista.org/orig.jpg[/IMG] and this is with new sd [IMG="new 128 gb sd"]http://uffabuffa.altervista.org/copia.jpg[/IMG] So is not the different fat I supose at this point taht is not enuf a copy/paste but I neade maybe to use a sort of program that can backup and then let me restore everything ob the new micro sd )I noticed that exFat ist faster so as I begin to suspect the problem is the way I make "backup" i will put back exFat the 129 gb sd.

What di u think?

Thank's

Helen

Hi guys,

I had the same error when trying to restore stock KDZ - couldn't get into download mode at all. I reached this point, and I had to hold the power button for a considerable amount of time until it actually turned off, and then plugged it into USB while holding the volume up button. It then entered the normal download mode, and I was able to restore the stock firmware.

Hi guys I'm new to this forum, and new to Android development as well.

I've made a mistake editing a file in System/etc the name is Vold.fstab. and ive messed up the storage, now it doesnt recognise it.

I'm coming here asking for help on how to flash a custom rom, preferably Cyanogenmod latest working version. I would like to get a full tutorial step by step on how to flash the rom as I'm a completely noob.

Don't know the tools... I've previously rooted the phone if that helps.

Thanks a lot

An idiotic global first.

* Added clear process in the recents screen for the option to remove background processes

Totally against Google's guidelines, totally against Android's task management spirit. Sitting there in the middle with no option to remove it, tempting you to just press it to see what happens... And I pressed it, Tasker died, Netfix died, Spotify died and everything is dead. It is so against guidelines that it even kills background process that have persistent "visible' notifications, like Tasker, Netflix, Music apps etc that are not supposed to get killed.

Let's hope it doesn't make it to the final version.
[OnePlus 2 General] da_anton:
Thats the magic behind the new feature "Enhanced Doze mode" :laugh:

OP would better just ship plain android. I'm not really happy how many bugs they build into their ROMs.
[OnePlus 2 General] Daniellogic:
I actually love the option, had Spotify draining my battery on several devices even when not listening to anything. Now I finally don't need to go into apps, Spotify and kill manually the service.

But yes, it would be better as an option, not default.
[OnePlus 2 General] ghul21:
Hmmm.. it still is an option....just don't press it ?

[OnePlus 2 General] johnny_cash$:
You can lock the apps in the memory, though. I think it's actually a welcome change, as the apps you want running in the background will run (BlackPlayer, Join, etc. for me) and other apps which just hog the memory will be shown the exit.

Also, the "Android task management spirit " implemented till now (till Marshmallow) you mention, even Google isn't happy with that. This I/O they've actually shown a new implementation for managing background tasks better.
[OnePlus 2 General] PuCiNhOOO:
When you are on the recents screen you have the option of what kind of wipe all you want...

And yes, the audio is fixed.

I am using the "One Plus ICONS" (https://oneplus.net/icons) and the sound looks very good, with good bass and clear audio in general.

It is not like with MaxxAudio, but is an awesome improvement since beta1
[OnePlus 2 General] benj!:
Seems like a decent update to me; really fast. Will wait and see what the battery life is like over the next day or so before passing judgement.
[OnePlus 2 General] johnny_cash$:
Anybody running Viper4Android on this build? How does it work?
[OnePlus 2 General] thdervenis:
Pinning is actually useful, as for the other part some apps don't have a foreground Activity since it's not needed, eg Tasker, or OneDrive that uploads photos in the background.

By pressing it, everything background dies, OneDrive, Google News, Twitter, Viber etc (all apps that are needed to run in the background and occasionally execute a task or display a notification that there is no need to be pinned in Recents).

Really, does it kill the background phone process as well? I hope that at least that is in an exclusion list.

I hope they remove it or at least provide an option to hide it.
[OnePlus 2 General] sepsep 21:
Battery drain issue is still present:((( 2 month waiting and stiil getting poor battery life. Really bad news for me. :(( But good news is fps speed. Its really fast. Im mean really really fast. Sound quality is better than previous version. Overall speed is increased too.
[OnePlus 2 General] johnny_cash$:
You have a point there, I guess. I might need to research more on what's going on behind the scenes of the new implementation.

Dirty flash/Clean flash?

How much time did you test it for?

Allow it a few battery cycles to settle down. Then your results *might* differ.
[OnePlus 2 General] CrazyArjun:
Tried the new community build and not able to install through twrp(here performed wipe on cache, dalvik, data, system except for internal memory). Hence flashed the modified twrp recovery and it screwed my mobile. Not able to boot either into recovery or OS. then after a long search and came to know that need to try with OP2 Recovery in fastboot mode. Luckily it is working for me. I am successfully flashed OP2 recovery and then the community build. Guess what OP2 booted successfully and amazingly fast. Smooth performance and checked couple of options and everything is good for now. However not able to root the mobile. Hence tried flashing again Twrp but no use as of now. :(
