[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
Running >1.6 ROMs

Hi, yes, I had that problem, and though you're going to get a much more technically accurate explanation for why that is, here's what I did to be able to RELIABLY run Legend and Eclair ROMs well--but first, to venture a guess as to the cause, I would say that running >1.6 ROMS on a G1/Magic 32B requires a VERY specific set of firmware, and slop/deviation from that set, which well-tolerated by ->1.6 ROMs, means certain failure on these ROMs written at their source for more powerful devices--anyhow, what I do to insure at least 75% with Eclair, Overclocking, and JIT:

1. I have a nandroid from a CM4.2xxxx ROM installation that I use at my "clean-up" when something goes astray. As you know, Recovery consoles don't easily offer a method to erase/revert to standard partitions, boot images, etc..

2. When in a jamb, I reflash my DeathSPL over my nandroid backup. Seems something in the hboot gets messed with by newer 2.1 ROMs, but that's just a guess.

3. I clear EXT regularly with AmonRA 1.6.2. Why? Newer ROMS, like CM5.0.7, rely more heavily on the EXT than any ROM in the past. I also repair this partition often. "e2fsck -c -f..." is your friend, provided everything is well-backed up. Clearing Davlik must be done, a buggy flash/install of a twitchy ROM will play all kinds of havok with Davlik, and that's the closest think to a registry we have--if it's messed up, your phone is dang-near unusable.

4. I BART the hell out of any successful install. Only BART backs-up CM5.0.7 ROMs correctly. I don't know if that is the case for OpenEclair and Legend ports as well.

It's a lot of work to get all this done correctly, and make ROMs run smoothly if you're not a coder/knowledgeable with -Nix and Java, but trial and error, if done safely, is the solution to many modding problems. That and reading instructions of those who know more and are trying to help you ;)

Hope that helps!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] W.O.P.R:
I agree that this should be moved\closed. For the sake of

everyone

, noobs, devs, seniors,

everyone

. Whether we agree that he should have read, or disagree in the way some present their answers, it is driving us all bonkers. AND, he has moved on to a new phone that is not specifically covered in this forum anyway.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce_wayne:
Lmao yeah go give him your phone because he broke his. He has a new one though, you would have known that if you took the time to READ.

However, almost, in agreement with you we did all read and research android to get the point we are at today. But we have also all asked questions big or small along the way. There is no shame in asking for help!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Shut up little kid. I READ the whole thread, and I lol'd all the way through it. You're just an idiot who wants to assume things and seem smart. How dare you say I would know that if I READ when I JUST insulted him for not reading. Can you not comprehend even the easiest of English? However, I'm drunk, and you really don't want me to do this right now because I won't ever be back if I say what I want to say. =]

Simply, you are a moron for making such assumptions. However, if YOU would have read you WOULD have noticed this:

Aw, you actually want to insult me for not reading when actually you're the one who didn't? Are you really that stupid?

P.S. Jim Bean Red Stag = best bourbon ever made. ;)

And I don't need your agreement.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvvc:
just reading through this, really makes me resent the xda 'community'.

totally heartless.

yes, he shouldve read the instructions better.

but did you all need to rub vinegar into his wounds?!

makes me want to not be associated with you ass-wipes.

Apple Iphone fanboy forums behave better than that, hell - even MS Mobile forums behave better than that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce_wayne:
I do think that "be quiet" would be more polite. There is no need for your agressive

manner.

When are you going to realise that's a joke...? Guess now its our turn to laugh at you because you don't understand something!

Put simply - Yes, I can.

Sober up

Is that a threat? If so please don't threaten me as I will not tolerate and you will be reported to a mod.

Unlike yourself I haven't assumed anything. You have assumed that I am 'ignorant' 'stupid' 'a moron' 'a kid' and maybe more. I am none of those so please stop the assumptions as they are petty and childish. (Before you have a go at me for that comment I have NOT said that you are childish, I have said that your assumptions are childish.)

I did read and you have not found/made a valid point for me, apparently, not reading.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themapleboy:
flame thread is on fire i'm amazed mods havent locked this
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce_wayne:
I hope it does get locked. I entered the thread to try and deffend an xda member and I'm now I'm defending myself from another lol.

Just wish id found the thread sooner. Maybe I could have helped the guy.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Bruce, lets forget that last one, I was a tad drunk. ;)

However, my actual point was:

You told me I didn't read, I showed you I did. Also, you making such assumptions are moronic. Thinking something and attacking someone on it makes you look very stupid. Not saying you are, of course. We all do things that make us "look stupid" - doesn't mean we are. ;)

Do I need to point this out again?

YOU said I didn't know he had a new phone, but I clearly said that I knew he did in a previous post. That's not a valid point?

You're right, there's not. However, he didn't follow instructions and bricked his phone. Its pretty bold how to flash the death spl. That's all we're getting at. He should have took time to READ and its his own fault for bricking.

Now, I'm sorry for my drunken remarks, I never meant to flame you. Didn't seem as mean at that time. :P No hard feelings.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce_wayne:
Im happy to leave it there. not part of xda to argue with people lol. i agree he should have read more, just thought that too many people were going off at him for making a mistake.

also jim beam is great haha
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Agreed. =] Maybe they were, but next time he'll know, right? ;) As many people may have not actually had that point of view, it will (hopefully) end up doing good as he will know to red better next time. =]

Yes it is. Still have almost half a 5th left. :D

Glad we could finally see eye-to-eye instead of letting this actually evolve into a full-fledged flame war. =]
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce_wayne:
agreed a flame war wouldnt have resolved anything.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It never does, friend. As for whoever called xda a heartles community

- as I see it many people don't take kindly to peopld who don't really try. If you can't do it and you honestly triex just give up. Rooting isn't for everyone. That's what most members try to get across, even though we are quite mean about it at times. ;)

Hey guys, so far I know best buy sells the x10a with no contract but do they have white ?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anarchyuk:
Good afternoon,

I see a few people want the 64bit version of the emulator so here it is re packaged into an installer with shorcuts on start menu and desktop for your convenience.

I have also made a 32bit installer to go along with it.

Both the file sets are pulled from the very latest developer suite.

The msi file is 76meg and has the image pre loaded into it.

Just double click to install once installed click the Shortcut on your desktop or start menu.

Enjoy

Hey this emu seems to work on windows 7 x64!! had to install it with

"msiexec /i setup.msi" from a command promt (run as administrator) though, but it works!! thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anarchyuk:
strange! It should be a double click, once you typed that command did you get the gui installer?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SaturnusDJ:
Installing using not command promt gives an error, nothing will be copied/extracted/installed.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anarchyuk:
Do you get the same issues if you right click it and run as administrator?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SaturnusDJ:
That option isn't available, I think this is because it is a .msi installer. When reaching the last screen of the installer the button to start the progress has the shield that requires an admin typing his pass, so I gave the pass, but after a while the error shows up:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anarchyuk:
what 64bit os are you on?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ellite:
Working.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anarchyuk:
Exactly how it should be, thanks for the feedback..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bugsykoosh:
I get the same error except I never get prompted for an admin password- it just starts 'copying files' and then flashes to that scren.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anarchyuk:
Try copying a couple of the smaller size microsoft items from my list, I am on server 2008 r2 on this machine and it works fine...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] bugsykoosh:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anarchyuk:
I have just installed it with no issues with the below installed programs/ ms addons, have you tried changing the installation directory, do you have administrator rights on the machine?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Casey_boy:
I also have the same error as previously posted.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I will try playing around with my currently installed MS Visual Studio etc (I have MS Visual Studio 2010 installed).

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] br0adband:
I tried many different methods to get the x86 installer working on Windows 7 Professional x86 and nothing worked except that specific method:

Run msiexec /i setupx86.msi from an Admin Command Prompt.

I tried all the methods mentioned, even extracted the .msi contents and still nothing worked, but that Admin Command Prompt and that one command got it working. Not sure what the issue actually is, and I ever tried disabling UAC and then executing it from the Admin Command Prompt and still no go - only that specific method worked in my situation.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] cPT.cAPSLOCK:
It doesn't work at all for me, even after following this command.

I do get the installer window, and click next a few times, get the status bars and click finish.

However, there are no shortcuts on my desktop or in my start menu, and it hasn't copied any files.

I tried using the default install directory and D:\Software\WP7Emu\ but neither worked.

I am on Win 7 Prof x64, and downloaded the x64 version from megaupload
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GlamSlam:
I've found the solution of this problem, try to go to compatibility assistant of Windows 7 and launch the program, after that the installation work perfectly

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anarchyuk:
just replace the image file with the new on on your hard drive making sure its named the same as the original
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] greg787:
I tried that with the new 6414 build and it gives me: "Error:The emulation layer does not support the functionality that is being accessed"

Official installers for Windows Phone 7 Emulator

After i had some strange problems with the installers from this thread on some computers (while it worked well on others) i came across another more stable solution:

Go to MSDN Windows Phone Developer Tools Beta and download the full ISO. Mount or unpack it and browse to the folder wcu\WindowsPhone\. There you can find sde_xde-enu.msi and sde_xde64-enu.msi respectivly. These are official installers for the Windows Phone 7 Emulator.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Erikih:
Thanks mate, it installed with succes for me:)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] matejdro:

pointing to

Error during installation

I got an error during installation on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 in my Administrator account - it rolled back and installed nothing. I also tried with the msiexec and had the same problem. Also note that it did require clicking Next - didn't go through automatically. Finally I right clicked the Command Prompt link in Start/All Programs/Accessories and selected Run as Administrator. This brought up the command window and I ran setup directly from this window... and it worked! Hopefully that helps others who are having trouble getting this to work.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] gilesrm:
Yes, the option "run as administrator" on right click is not available on msi installers. But I did install it without problems on a Win 7 64 bit system with a mere double click. The other option is right click/install
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wingm4n:
is this safe to install alongside the rest of the development tools (including ms emulator)? Does it overwrite any of the "official" stuff?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] anarchyuk:
It is all self contained so should not mod any of your installed dev tools.

and to everyone else, I cant really offer any more support at the moment due to being to busy, if people have issues installing the best thing to do is install from the cmd line elevated to administrator

"msiexec /i setup.msi"

I have exactly the same problem as you have.

I think it's not compatible with Windows XP.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] crd22:
I'm getting a different error message (during install), but I believe you are right.

The whole reason I haven't had the WP7 emulator since its public release was because it wasn't supported on XP. I'm pretty sure I tried it the official way awhile back and it didn't work, and this too so it seems.

The only time MS decides they're too good to support XP anymore :P
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Monty Burns:
Had to type in the full path to the MSI package so ....

msiexec /i "Z:\Personal Folders\Stuza\Downloads\setup.msi"

Just FYI for anyone else that may experience the error. :)

edit:

Excellent! If you have a touchscreen laptop like I do, the screen of the phone is also touchscreen!

I got it to install, but I can't find it (Win7 x64 Pro)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] RinTinTigger:
Is this unlocked emulator?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] devis:
Seems you're both correct. XP isn't supported. Reason being is that this emulator requires two things, DirectX 10 and WDDM 1.1, of which only DirectX10 is XP supported. WDDM is native to Vista or Win7 therefore no love for us XP-ers. Funny how this emulator installs anyway...

I'll try it at home in my Win7 laptop.

Side note, I would assume most of the issues encountered by folks installing in in a Vista or 7 computer would have to do with either of these requirements. Updating your video card drivers and/or DirecX should fix this.
