Problem Flashing with Windows 7 - SOLVED

[Guest jason07]

All I had to do was right-click the GrandPrix icon and choose "Run as Administrator". Worked flawlessly after that.

Ok, so I've followed all of the tutorials correctly, done everything with i900 EXEcutor right, but whenever I hit "Detect" in GrandPrix and restart my phone, it says:

OnDeviceChange: DBT_DEVICEARIVAL

then I get a popup box like the one attached.

Anyone know why? It happens every time, and I've even tried downloading GrandPrix from a few different locations. What am I doing wrong?

First of all, you should close WMDC. Otherwise it'll not be detected.

Second, Turn off your device Select Eboot, Pda and CSC(If available) then click DETECT.

Turn on your phone the download and progress green bar may start.

If not, you should change ur usb port and repeat the whole process again.

Yeah I know how to use GrandPrix - I'd selected eboot and PDA (no CSC in the ROM I wana use). I've just tried it again after ending the wmdc.exe process in task manager, exactly the same result. Honestly not sure what the problem is hey. Thanks for the response though Bruno.

Aha success!! lol

I think this is a very, very basic thing but all I had to do was right-click GrandPrix and choose "Run as administrator". Downloaded to device no problem now, awesome.

That's strange. I'm also using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and i never had this issue while WMDC was closed.

Anyways, Solved. :(
