Sure, here is what I usually do. (i installed it a dozen times)

Windows Mobile 7

Install all drivers using RIGHT CLICK >> Properties >> Vista RTM Compatibility mode and Run as Administrator!!!

a. VistaECDrvV1[1].0.1.10

b. TouchScreen(1[1].1.0.2)

c. Synaptics MicroPad(10[1].0.11.1)

d. Marvell WiFi driver(8[1].114.123.139)

e. Vitakey _AC5023_Fingerprint AP v5[1].0.2.0 and Driver v7.10.1.0 *

f. Extension Kit USBLanDriver(3[1].8.3.7)

g. Utils Installer Bluetooth Stack for Windows.rar (to have better control over BT without CC) or BluetoothTileInstaller.zip

h. run windows update to install some newer drivers and WMDC

i. BlueBadge_rev2_x86.zip (to remove all developer locks, such as Desktop Slideshow, Panning and Superbar)

VISTA_INTEL Chipset Driver v8[1].3.0.1014 You can use Windows Update for this one.

Intel VGA driver(7[1].14.10.1461) VGA is not needed. The default driver is newer and there nothing to gain from installing this until Control Center will work.

Realtek Audio Driver R197(6[1].0.1.5653) Is also not needed. It will work fine using the default Windows driver.

Shagctrl_1[1].2.6.122-control center Control Center is not working yet. Installing it will only result in a crash. This also means that there is for now no possibilty to switch to the interpolated 1024x600 resolution. But Im working on it.

You can also install CYGWIN and HSECT2 from pof`s blogsite. It works still fine.
[Shift Development] Soween:
Thank you, this is very cool to have everything in one post.

Please someone, put this in the first post... that cool be great.

Just one more question : can you use the WWAN (3G)? Because without the control center, it must be difficult... isn't it??
[Shift Development] aquasesh:
its not a problem. you can just use internet sharing and the USB tool.

Windows 7 treats the 3G connection like a normal wan connection.

works easy.
[Shift Development] Soween:
Hello,

I found time to test SEVEN again.

I installed it, I'm downloading drivers.

During this time I'm "rating" the shift with the computer scores, the results (no drivers installed) :

CPU = 2.0

RAM = 3.9

Graphics = 2.0

Gaming = 2.5

HDD = 3.7

Damn I lost 0.1 from the CPU between Vista (all drivers) and Seven (no drivers).

I'll keep you informed.

And for information : Seven (no drivers) : 26.9GB free of 34.2GB (this is very better than Vista).
[Shift Development] Soween:
I'm installing the drivers, but for the touchscreen, after installing it twice, it doesn't work, I can't use my stylus.

Where am I wrong? Do I need to install everything before everything works?

I continue to add the others drivers. And I'll see...
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Did you run it as Administrator and in Vista RTM compatibility mode? That did the trick for me. Also, EC driver needs to be installed before you install the touch screen driver...
[Shift Development] Soween:
I did it again (good order, good compatibility mode).

Do it work right after the install of the "touchscreen" driver or is it at the end of the total install?

For me it doesn't work... I installed it 3 times and nothing...
[Shift Development] deadnex:
There is one more thing you can try.

Rename ATSV1102(WHQLed).exe (the HTC touch screen driver) to ATSV1102(WHQLed).rar and extract contents with winRAR. Inside the contents you extracted from the installation file, there's a file called setup.exe. Try running that in Vista RTM compatibility mode as Administrator.

If that doesn't work - go to Device Manager and check if you have any Unknown Devices. If you do, you can try to manually update the driver and select the .inf file inside the archive you just extracted.

Hope this will help.
[Shift Development] Soween:
Thank you Deadnex, it works, I can continue to upgrade my system now. I didn't launch it in administrator mode and that was the problem.

And that was a big mistake from me... sorry guys, because it was written!! But I focused on the "Vista compatibility mode" and I didn't noticed the administrator thing...

Next step.
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Good! I'm glad you figured it out ;)
[Shift Development] Soween:
Ok, it seems that I'm not finish yet...

I can't install the wifi driver, I installed it many times (I tried to install seven many times to be sure...) but nothing.

- I installed it "Vista compatibility" and Administrator

- It seems to work during the install (I have a window with "ready to use" for the Marvell SDIO)

- I can see the "ocarina" symbol showing there is or not a wifi signal

- but after the reboot, nothing, no hardware in the control Panel, no "ocarina", nada...

I don't understand...

And can you change the ROM (on the WinMo side) from Seven? Because I want to try the ROM from the HTC HD... And I don't really want to go back to Vista... 8-)
[Shift Development] aquasesh:
Try to install the driver via the Device Manager...browse for the driver and choose HAVE A DISK (im sure you know all this anyway)

FYI I will receive a new build of Windows 7 fairly soon, which i hope will run better. There will be some major improvements in the next build, so far, i can tell you guys that it will be a tick faster and sport some more new features.

So I wouldnt get to hung up on this build.

another thing...the current build, as all following until BETA 1 will have timebombs, expiring Feb 2009...so be aware of that.
[Shift Development] Soween:
But I don't even find the network card in the device manager (I can see the fingerprint sensor which is not installed, but no more hardware not installed)!!

I don't understand why... it is ok in Vista...
[Shift Development] joshuauy:
I can not activate the bluetooth and wifi,

they recommend to do?
[Shift Development] aquasesh:
If you cannot find or install WIFI or BT, you might need to start them from the Embedded Controller. Seems like they are disabled.

Just get HSECT2 and CYGWIN. Install Cygwin and copy pofs hsect2.exe into c:\cygwin\bin (or whereever you installed it to)

Run the Cygwin bash as administrator and type hsect2 -W 1 and hsect2 -B 1 at the command prompt. This will enable the devices.

Hope it works
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Will you receive the 6933 build? When you receive it, do you think you could upload it to a server (if it isn't already available on bittorrent)?

Thanks
[Shift Development] aquasesh:
I will definitely upload it. but the last pre-beta i uploaded killed my server traffic. i dont have any caps and 100mbit, but i am sharing so much stuff that others cannot download anymore.(my server is 8TB full)

so I will create a password protected zip file which will be online for a short time only. (dont worry deadnex, you are on my receivers list)

sorry i have to be so anal...but for now its pre beta only anyway, so

i dont see the point of having 1000s of people leeching of me.

at least people in this forum are contributing ;) thanks for that.

Lets hope that Control Center will work in the new build. I know M$ is

improving stabilty in 6936 and 6948
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Thanks aquasesh :)

Btw, i read that the build 6801 will stop working in january even if you activated with a valid beta key. The official beta will probably be made available through MSDN mid-january...

I have a fileserver myself, but with only 10Mbit upload bandwith I don't know if there's any point for me to share it. I guess it will be available on torrent soon enough anyway ;)

Can you PM me when it is available on your server?
[Shift Development] aquasesh:
Will do...and you are right about the beta.

Btw...how does the 120GB hdd fit? sits nicely???
[Shift Development] deadnex:
I haven't had any problems with the 120GB drive yet, although I had to remove some of the shock absorbant to make it fit. It's an 8mm GAH drive. Now I'm just waiting for Toshiba to start shipping the 240GB 8mm drive in January ;)

Windows 7 on HTC Shift

Hi i tryed installing windows 7 on the HTC Shift Tooday !!

I used the vista drivers for the usb netcard and for the finger print !!

It worked and is running faster then vista !! (much more) very nice.. :)

The only thing that dont work is the touch screen and the wireless netcard.

Is there anybody who can help me with some beta drivers for the marvel netcard and the touchscreen ???

I Have seen a video on youtube in chineese where it works on windows 7..

Please help..

Regards Peter
[Shift Development] deadnex:
If you read the previous posts in this thread you will find a solution.

Search is your friend ;)
[Shift Development] NPG:
OK Thanks

I will try tomorrow !

Forgot the shift on my work !!

Regards Peter
[Shift Development] NPG:
Ok I works with the Touch screen now !!

But the WIFI Dont work and the Bluetooth !!

Tryed Cywin says there is no WIFI !!

Help !!
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Do you still have Vista installed on your system? In that case, boot Vista and enable Wifi and bluetooth, then restart your shift and boot Windows 7. Check your device manager to see if bluetooth and wifi is detected.

If you still cannot find or install WIFI or BT, you might need to start them from the Embedded Controller. Seems like they are disabled.

Just get HSECT2 and CYGWIN. Install Cygwin and copy pofs hsect2.exe into c:\cygwin\bin (or whereever you installed it to)

Run the Cygwin bash as administrator and type hsect2 -W 1 and hsect2 -B 1 at the command prompt. This will enable the devices.
[Shift Development] joy.d:
I installed the first beta successfully. Within windows Update comes new LAN drivers, New WiFI Drivers, and SDIO drivers and last not least new I945 Graphic Card drivers.

Is with the beta2 Version (the last) something better?
[Shift Development] deadnex:
I'm not sure I understand your question...

I guess you've been using the build 6801 (which is a pre-beta build btw)? As aquasesh pointed out in a previous post microsoft is trying to improve stability in the next official build of windows 7. We are hoping that control center and interpolated resolution will work in the next build. However, the official beta will not be released until january and we are depending on leaks to get our hands on a newer build until then... As of now we are using the same version of windows 7 as you are ;)

Hope this answers your question
[Shift Development] joy.d:
Hi Deadnex, yes, sorry that´s right build 6801. Thank you for your information :-)
[Shift Development] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Just like to say that look up the following when doing a search for Windows 7. I have an unlocked fixed version on my PC I got and is fully activated. windows 7 pre-beta orbit30. All "watermarks" were removed. Don't have a Shift but would love to get one some day lol. Good going guys...
[Shift Development] lidan25:
windows 7 on **** 64 Bit any info ?

hi wil windows 7 -64 Bit will work on the Shift ?

any info abut it ??

thanks

Lidan
[Shift Development] NPG:
No Vista is removed !! :(

And tryed to install driver for the WIFI 7-8 times.. install ok but no card in the device manager !! Very strange !!
[Shift Development] deadnex:
The shift only has a 32 bit cpu... In other words 64 bit windows will NOT work on the shift!
[Shift Development] deadnex:
I am pretty sure that all you have to do to make wifi and bluetooth work is to initiate them with the tools I described in the previous post (HSECT2 and CYGWIN).

Are you sure that you followed the steps excactly as I wrote?
[Shift Development] deadnex:
I've read about that distribution a while ago. It is still the 6801 build and control center will not work (yet). Hopefully the official beta will resolve this issue.
[Shift Development] lidan25:
ok thanks for the info

ok thanks

i hope soon will have all things work than i will set my shift with Windows 7

but is thare any word on HTC web site for an upgred for the shift with Windows 7 beta ?

as soon as it will be beta ?
[Shift Development] deadnex:
I can guarantee you that HTC will not offer any support in upgrading the shift to Windows 7... Our best hope for now is that control center and resolution changer works out of the box on windows 7. All the other drivers are working fine as of now...
[Shift Development] aquasesh:
I absolutely agree. HTC will not support Win7, simply because there is no

Win7 planned or supposed to run on the Shift. Its Vista only, basta!

Additionally, the HTC Shift is not very profitable for HTC and such support

will cost too much money.

Luckily we can always rely on manufacturers and OEM drivers. All devices

run perfectly under Win7 and the Control Center will most likely be stable too.

Its not HTC that I am worried about, its M$ and their willingness to

improve the stability of tools that control embedded hardware.

I am sure the first BETA will run Control Center well. I have high hopes.
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Any news on when you will receive the newer build of Win 7? I am eagerly waiting to see if it works better than 6801 ;)
[Shift Development] aquasesh:
The new build 6948 is already being tested internally since November 20th.

However, i have yet to receive access to it.

On a different note, can you open the command prompt and issue this command

slmgr.vbs -dlv

I would like to know what date you receive as result.

This date indicates the timebomb and the effective expiration

date.

I would like everyone to try this, please
[Shift Development] rorydaredkign:
I have been following the Shift Win 7 thread since its conception. Incase it matters, on my desktop, my Expiration date is Feb 8th 2009

But i have 3 rearms left.

[Shift Development] lidan25:
but if it work for use way not runing it on the shift?

if all buges will be fixt for the shift :)
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Windows 7 Pre-beta build 6801 is working on the Shift with the exception of control center and resolution changer. It has more free RAM than in Vista and it seems to respond a little faster.

I am dualbooting Vista and Windows 7 at the moment (just for testing purposes). However, if Windows 7 RC1 (when available sometime next year) runs smoothly with control center and resolution changer working I might consider a permanent upgrade, but for now I am sticking with Vista and Ubuntu ;)
[Shift Development] lidan25:
Wall ok whets Ubuntu is it Linux system :confused:Whets the way of using it do I need to format the disk? Are can run the 2 of them the same time are dual boot

thanks agin for the fest reply :cool:

Lidan:)
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Yes, Ubuntu is a linux system. You can dualboot Vista with ubuntu.

If you're new to linux I would recommend using Wubi installer for Ubuntu. It allows you to install linux from windows without having to manually partition the harddisk. If you don't like it you can uninstall it from the add/remove programs in Vista control panel.

Wubi installer
[Shift Development] lidan25:
thanks agin fest reply

what abut drivers for all the things on the Shift ?

WoW

if it works good i am going to setup it

but need Room on disk 40 Gb disk of shift and vista and ubuntu works ok ? :confused:

what disk do you have so you can have dualbooting Vista and Windows 7

do you have a big hard disk did you upgad it to a big 1 ?

thanks

"Windows 7 Build 6956" on HTC Shift Anyone???

Hi now that the Windows 7 build 6956 ISO has leaked, is anyone willing or has already taken the plunge to install it on Shift???

It will be interesting to see if control center etc work on this and if it's more snappier?

This build 6956 is being called closed to Beta 1 of Windows 7 due next month!

[Shift Development] deadnex:
Ubuntu is working fine on the shift. If you have questions about linux on shift, use this thread instead.

Currently I'm using a 120GB disk on my shift, but 40GB is enough to dualboot Vista and Windows 7 if you don't have a lot of **** stored on it.:D

[Shift Development] studdocs:
maybe someone can develop a control center app for windows 7

maybe someone can develop a control center app for windows 7 jst like its been done for winxp... or lets all write in to htc ...

the only functionality that's reqd and cant be circumvented by other methods in enabling and disabling BT!!
[Shift Development] killer_t:
With original snapvue, if you connect direct snapvue on 3g, windows 7 automatic find the internet connection.
[Shift Development] deadnex:
Writing HTC will not do any good. I highly doubt that they will bother developing any appz for win7. BT and wifi can still be enabled through HSECT2 and CYGWIN.

The only functionality I'm missing in win7 at the moment is the interpolated 1024x600 resolution... But somebody might be able to develop a dedicated app for this ;)
[Shift Development] studdocs:
atleast open a support request with HTC

But let each one of us atleast open a support request with HTC when the 1st beta is released! It may jst click!
[Shift Development] deadnex:
By all means, do so! I'm just saying, HTC will never offer any support on an OS that hasn't even been officially released, and they will certainly not make any money on offering upgrades to a device that will soon be outdated. Ofcourse they would rather make us buy a new device with windows 7 preinstalled.

Run cygwin\setup.exe, and select install from folder. select ioperm from the devel subfolder.

Unselect icons on desktop and start menu and finish.

Run cygwin.bat from c:\cygwin at the command prompt

type “ioperm –i” + enter

move hsect-2.1\hsect2.exe and move it to c:\cygwin\bin

type "hsect2 -W 1" + enter then typr "hsect2 -B 1" + enter at the command prompt

it will show BT and WiFi enabled

Control Center

I am currently trying to debug why Control Center is crashing when launched in Windows 7. Event viewer is reporting that the error is caused by USER32.dll with an exception code 0xc0000005 (I think this is an access violation error)

When it comes to the resolution changer I have managed to get the Windows Logon screen to display in 1024x600 interpolated resolution. However, when I type my password and logon to windows I get a BSOD. Event viewer does not give any details on which program/driver that is causing the BSOD.

Suggestions?

build 6956

I just installed Win 7 build 6956 on my HTC Shift CDMA, it runs very fast, the display resolution is also 800x480 (no more) and the Control Center doesn't work.

The 3g connection with my local carrier works if I run the Internet Sharing connection

the wifi, the touch driver, the finger print sensor and audio are working fine

I'm trying to obtain a valid key

I'll install itunes and other software

Hi !

I have ordered a shift and will get it in about 2 weeks.. but I was wondering about the best way ton install Windows 7.

What have you done for it ? Dual boot with XP ? Installed from XP side or using a network or usb DVD-Drive ?

I don't know what is the best solution and what is possible or not .. I would love to read more about it .. since the first thing I want to do on the shift is to install Windows 7 beta 1 (which should be out in 2 weeks too).

I looooooooooove the shift... I hope I will get in 2 weeks or less.
[Shift Development] deadnex:
I am currently dualbooting Vista, Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux using LILO as bootloader. But if you are planning on using only XP and Windows 7 you don't have to use a custom bootloader. Windows automaticly configures this for you.

The easiest way to install both XP and windows 7 is to use an external dvd-rom drive.
[Shift Development] the_LeXX:
howto enable 1024x600 (or any other resolution)

- install the intel vga driver from HTC

- reboot and you get the login screen in 1024, but a BSD after login

- reboot and press F8 and choose save 640x480

- login and you can choose every resolution (like Vista)

- disable Aero before you switch to a solution above 800x600, thats the trick

You can choose any resolution, but you cant use aero which also dissable the new, very nice taskbar preview :(

Finally everything works in Windows 7 build 7000, so I have to switch from Vista because this W7 beta 1 runs very fast and powersaving.

tip: just install shagcrtl driver and you can switch between the screenresolution like in vista (the controll center still doesnt work, but is not necessary, you have all the options in Windows 7)

EDIT: you can also choose a non-aero theme befor install the grafik driver
[Shift Development] htakahasyd5:
Great!

Would you tell me how to install only driver of shagctrl?
[Shift Development] the_LeXX:
if you install the official HTC driver (i use the one from c:/program files/htc/control/setup.exe), you get the button mapping.

or you can run ResolutionSwitchLauncher.exe from the same directory.

if this doesnt work, try the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=438768 with the synaptics driver

Howto Install Windows 7 on HTC Shift without external DVDrom Player

I tested windows 7 in Virtual PC and i'm curius how it works on my HTC Shift. I saw that it is possible but here is the question. How can I install Windows 7 without a external DVD rom player. Maybe somebode can help me to find a way for installing Windows 7.

Windows 7 looks very stable en very quick. I installed my must have programs on Windows 7 and it worked without any problems. Now the next step..

Please advise.....
[Shift Development] koala996:
thanks... I hope it will be easy to install win 7 from bios (no dual boot) because I want to totally remove XP.

I should put Ubuntu or Ubuntu mobile on the shift.. but not sure about it... and I will not use LILO but Grub.. not sure if it is important to note or not ;-)

any link for Windows 7 beta? i would like to download it to install on the shift (should arrive next week ^^)
[Shift Development] koala996:
I think that it is possible in 2 different ways :

1°) use Daemon Tools or any prog like that to have a virtual DVD-Drive and install it from there (running vista)

2°) uniso the file (with winrar for example) and execute the "setup.exe" file in the root of the dvd.

I hope it will work... it should but haven't test because I haven't got my shift yet ;-)
[Shift Development] hetallerbeste:
But after a reboot might Windows ask for the DVD and then?

Or does Windows 7 copy all files to the Shift. I want to do a clean install, no upgrading. So a format on the station would be nice.
[Shift Development] aquasesh:
Just make yourself a bootable USB stick. I think its the easiest solution if you dont have a DVD Drive.
[Shift Development] koala996:
Windows 7 copy all the files to the Shift (even when using a DVD-Drive) that's what happens before the first reboot. The disk is not needing after the first reboot.

What I don't like with this install is that you still have Windows Vista, but it's a clean install of Windows 7 .. but I'm not sure if it would work or not (that's not completely clear what it does when using a partitation already used by the "primary" OS).

I think the best solution is to have an external DVD-Drive or use a USB-Key (with enough space) which is formatted to be bootable.
