Ahhhhhhh..... success!   Thank you tillaz and wrtease for your input. I can honestly say I don't know what happened. After frantically installing and uninstalling various drivers and pulling the battery in and out, I must have beat my mobile and poor computer into submission! I ended up with two android devices installed in Device manager, and that seemed to do the trick.

Now to get rid of all that horrible Orange trash.

[wrtease]

their is an ap in market that gets rid of orange crap.
glad you got it.

Yes I saw that, Antek App Manager... already done

[putbinoot]

Finally done although not on xp was waiting for my windows7 disk to arrive as i had decided to try it anyway the same as with xp happened.
1 detects phone installs handset usb drivers
2 waiting for device as with xp it's looking for drivers again so I tell win7 to find them and unlike xp it does and installs them job done.

Not sure where win7 is looking for them but at least it found them.

[john.smith]

The other way round. I couldn't do it under Vista/7 but managed to root my OMC in Windows XP.

It might be because of the 64-bit driver issue I guess.

have you tried the way i got it to work on page 3 ?

[vadiro]

I finally succeeded, using win 7 drivers from http://www.4shared.c...4818380622.html and installing it manually how you suggested in page 3.

I plugged the phone both on and off into my vista pc but I don't have anything happening. It just says "waiting for device" and the phone led doesn't blink or anything.
I tried turning the phone with volume pressed but got a white FTM Logo on the screen and had to pull the battery out to reboot....

Also I've got all drivers installed but in device manager no ADROIDPHONE...

I haven't got a clue...does anybody have a granny guide for installing superboot...

It took me on and off all day but I managed it...here several tips

1- When you plug the OMC into pc usb you get a cd-drive in my computer, eject it !!! otherwise you won't get Androidphone device in device manager

2- You'll probably have to install java before you can install the sdk/google driver download tool, you'll be given the link by the sdk tool

3- When you execute SDK Manager.exe it might not start....I had to look under properties and choose win98/millemium compatibility to get it to work!

4-Even after starting SDK Manager.exe and choosing googleusbdrivers it still took four attempts before it finaly downloaded the drivers into the extra folder in the same SDK directory

5-Vista wouldn't allow to choose the *.inf data,... choose to find the driver from the list of device drivers on pc and then choose to search drives, choose your sdkmanager folder/google/extra and the *.inf data

6-Vista finds two Androidphone devices in Device manager, for the first one choose Android Bootloader interface and the second  Android composite ADB interface

7-You don't have to turn your OMC off like we had to do with the SanFrancisco last year, keep it on when it's plugged in...modaco's superboot and clockwork reboot the OMC themselves after the flash

After these steps modaco superboot and clockwork flashes flawlessly....

you may want to consider installing & setting up link2sd as the memory on the phone dose not go very far, also a rom dump would be handy if you can .

I did it with this usb driver, taken from the Zte Blade one!
