shiarua Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I got a new phone over the summer (LG Incite CT810). It has Windows Mobile 6.1 on it. The ROM flashing util from LG is only designed to work on Windows XP. I tried flashing the devices ROM in Windows Vista and it did not work. I then switched to my brother's machine (which has Windows XP on it) and was able to flash the ROM with no problem. I have since upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (RTM) and have been messing around with Windows XP mode. I installed ActiveSync 4.5 on the Virtual Machine and was able to connect to the device successfully via USB. I'm trying to figure out if I can use the flashing util to flash the ROM through Windows XP mode in a virtual environment. Attempting to do so would put my device into a emergency download state from which I cannot seem to get out of and if it fails, I might brick the phone.Would anyone recommend against trying to flash the ROM on the phone from a Windows XP virtual machine? Has anyone experience with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Access Denied Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 (edited) I could not get my phone to be recognized in the Virtual XP that you can get on Windows 7 Pro. Edited September 2, 2009 by Access Denied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
