Yes! Now I'am using a HTC Shift with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition! It is incredible fast! Thanks to all of you guys! :)

The only problem now I have is sound - if I will boot XP, I have no sound - but after rebooting WinMo (using very usefull hsect2 utility) sound will appear. I dont' know what is the reason of such behavior of Shift. :(

Now some tips on installation:

I installed Win XP using Acronis disk image, and after recovery I got "Standart PC" system kernel. If you have HTC Hid Pen Device in Device Manager marked with yellow exclamation mark and error code is 10 (device could not start) - check your kernel version, if it is not ACPI PC, you should change it.
[Shift General] FOOFTR:
I assume you've uninstalled the realtek device and tried over?

Rebooting WinMo with hsect2? mmmm...I'm not understanding where you're at here sorry...glad to hear that you got XP Tab going tho...
[Shift General] Aldan:
Yes, of course, after it I eve try to use a newer Realtek driver (not 1.95 but 2.02 version), but it still does not work normally. By the way, if I will not reset Windows mobile, than after approx. 3-5 minutes strange quite noise will go from the speakers.

hsect2 -r will reboot your windows mobile part of the Shift.
[Shift General] Pfeffa-rah:
I Think he is right, I would love a good step by step walktrough in the wiki.

Now the wiki only links to a thread... That is not the idea of a wiki is it?

I, for one, would very much appreciate one clear "how to" in one place.

greetz,

Ah yes hsect -r...got ya. Sounds like a bizarre situation...good luck

Hi @all

has anybody test SDHC Memory Cards with XP?

I tried normal SD Cards, work fine, but not SDHC Cards.

Can upload someone the INF Folder from Windows Vista to compare the Drivers?

I have installed WXP TPC Edition with SP3, the sdbus.sys driver is newer, then the additional driver from microsoft for SDHC problems. So I think, there is need an additional driver for SDHC usage.

Maybe someone can read out the Vendor ID´s via Ubuntu?

help me please, I need the all driver for the xp
[Shift General] B-44:
I'd suggest to forget about XP and switch to Win7. Installation is pretty easy, Shift's running really cool with it, XP mode is available and security updates are to be expected for at least the next five years.

Meanwhile Win8.1 is also working for Shift, just take alook at the fora.

I've been digging a little bit because I want to be able to enable/disable wifi & bluetooth in linux also. What I've found so far is that it uses the "HTC EC Controller" available trough \\\\.\\htcec in Vista, not sure yet how it works, will spend more time on this during the weekend.
[Shift General] bg4qqz:
the touch screen doesn't work, The HTC hid pen driver is always with a "yellow !", It showes "can not startup" when you re-enable it.

[Shift General] danielherrero:
Could you export them and post here?
[Shift General] bg4qqz:
Maybe, you should turn on something under Vista, or it will not work under winxp, like Wlan and BT. I installed winxp again, the same problem. maybe export the perfieric drivers will solved this problem.

Where to get XP for tablet PC ?

Hi everyone,

I'd really like to get rid of Vista but I realized, too late, that my last XP installation was unable to use touchscreen since I only have a regular "XP Pro" CD.

Where can I find or buy the Tablet PC edition ?

Is the first CD of the Tablet PC edition really a regular one and can I buy the second CD only ?

Thanks guys...

Sorry. May I know if GRPS is working under Win XP after installing all these drivers? Which apps are you using to turn on/off the GPRS?
[Shift General] pof:
Yes, 3G/GPRS is handled by the arm/WinCE side (SnapVUE), so doesn't need any special drivers on the x86/XP side. Just install ActiveSync on XP and enable Internet Sharing on SnapVue.

You can turn on/off GPRS using the HTC CommManager in SnapVue.

Is there really no solution to use regular XP? There are lots of people ruinning XP on computers in cars with small 7" touch screens, it ought to get it going without Tablet Edition even on the Shift, if not - why?

Activate WLAN and BT without Vista ?

Hello,

Any idea about activating Wifi and Bluetooth under XP without reinstalling Vista ?

I have installed XP on a new hard drive so I don't have Vista recovery partition...

Please help !
[Shift General] pof:
1. Download HTC Shift EC Toolkit (win32)

2. Run "install.bat"

To enable wifi:

$ ./hsect.exe -W 1

To enable BlueTooth:

$ ./hsect.exe -B 1

To enable both:

$ ./hsect.exe -W 1 -B 1

You can also use "enablewifi.bat", "enableBT.bat", etc..

Enjoy ;)

Hmmm...i had a got with this tool. But it didnt work for me.

I cannot start bluetooth. Actually, I cannot find a bluetooth device in

my system.

I also cannot turn off Wifi this way. it just stays on.
[Shift General] pof:
@aquasesh: Are you using the latest version? If not, please download it from my website. It should work without cygwin installed, as I have included the necessary dll's in the zip file.
[Shift General] aquasesh:
@pof, I downloaded the one from your website. But still no luck.

The wifi controls are not important, but I would like to see if i can

Bluesoleil to connect to the bluetooth adapter.

However, i have no bluetooth device listed in my Device Manager.
[Shift General] waici:
not working too... and pen device problem

Same for me : neither wifi nor bluetooth work... (with latest version)

No peripheral in device manager... I thanked you too quickly !

I have another problem : HTC Pen Device always have exclamation icon... and clicking on input panel shortcut in taskbar gets me a "blabla has encountered an error and must be closed" message
[Shift General] waici:
I have the same problems : same unknown device and cannot control Wifi/BT whit pof tool

But I think this is because this unknown device is the "HTC Embedded Controller" and pof software may use this controller. We should find a driver for this device and pof toolkit should work.

Will have a search.
[Shift General] pof:
hsect2 is independent of the "HTC Embedded Controller" driver, it will talk directly to EC controller i/o ports. It does not need the ecdrv.sys installed.

You should have the drivers for wifi & bt installed on XP, also run the "install.bat" in hsect2 first.
[Shift General] waici:
Ok that's what I see : I have installed HTC Embedded Controller driver but this is the same.

Also, while running enableX.bat or install.bat under xp command prompt I get messages :

enablewifi or enablebt : "Can't get access to io port! : No such device"

install : "ioperm.sys is already installed. StartService function call failed."

The last one indicate that the service that control Wifi/BT can't be started. Suggestions ?

Thanks by advance.
[Shift General] waici:
Another indication : in device manage when showing hidden devices I see in "non Plugand-Play devices" the device "ioperm support for Cygwin driver" with an exclamation icon.

In properties screen it is shown as stopped, and when I click on Start I get a message (in french) "Specified folder/file not found"
[Shift General] pof:
OK, the problem is that ioperm driver is not installed, that's why hsect2 doesn't work.

Follow these instructions:

- Install cygwin

- On cygwin installation, select "ioperm" support, it is not enabled by default.

- After cygwin has been installed, open a cygwin bash shell

- type "ioperm -i" on cygwin shell.

After that the iperm driver should be installed, and you'll be able to use hsect2.
[Shift General] waici:
Well, I don't have the drivers installed, since they don't appear in device manager => That's why I want to activate them !

Hmm... XP freezes at logon since I installed cygwin and ioperm, and start well since I uninstalled ioperm in safe mode... too bad I can't use your toolkit
[Shift General] waici:
Sorry

Ooops... I spoke too quickly. I want to greatly thank you for your help.

For a last try, I re-installed ioperm, reboot, and no freeze ! Wifi and Bluetooth enable/unable.bat work very well !

Thanks again !
