XP mode is not restricted to x64. It can't EMULATE x64, so the guest is restricted to 32 bit. The hardware virtualization support has been lifted as a requirement in 2010, so all you needs is W7 Pro or better (here and here get it here).

It's like VMWare, with way fewer buttons. Painless to set up, but with fewer things to go wrong. Install, get flasher in the XP window, then after you connect the N900 by holding "U", go to USB > Attach.

I've tweaked the instructions in the wiki myself, you can't go wrong. ;)

I should have read further, Virtual PC mode is fine for W7, but you need Pro to run XP mode and I don't have Pro. Also, I don't feel like downloading a new copy and running it just for this feature.

So I will just assume that everything I downloaded(virtual pc/xp mode) is useless unless I have pro?

And what Wiki did you say you tweaked, the Maemo wiki or the Flashing Wiki? Thanks for the help either way mate!

Yes, you need pro or better. Get VMWare, that has no requirement. VMWare isn't free, but the player is and you can get that free.

XP in a window is cool to have for a miriad of reasons, not only flashing. VMWare player is small and last I checked it ran MS VP files. It won't let you edit the specs, but it's not much of a problem.

This all unfortunate, this would have been simpler if flasher would work with 7.

In your place, I'd get VMWare.

Ok so get the Free VMware player? and then what should I do, proceed to flash as if I were using the xp mode? I'll do all of this tonight as soon as I get home.

Hi Goliath, sry that the code didn't work I was quite sure that was the problem. If you wish to revert it back:

apt-get install python2.5-qt4-common python2.5-sip4

About the problem you are having with W7... Why not try to install WUBI? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer

You install/uninstall it like any other windows app. Easy, simple and free. You just need some bandwidth... Or you could dl any live cd from an other distro if you wish.

Google VMWare and go to downloads for Player.

Once installed, mount an XP kit you get from ... wherever and install as from a CD. Else, you can import the XP mode HDD image you got from Microsoft, but I never did this myself.

There are tons of XP images, bare or full, over the net. Just start them up and use them like normal XP. Flash normally.

All my friends are mac fools or have upgraded to windows 7. I am in Ann Arbor for school so I can't ask my friends from ohio.

If you are already doing some nasty things with your device:

What would happen if you:
1. Install Leafpad
2.Run commands
Code:
root
leafpad /opt/pycallblocker/callblocker.py
and change first line from
#!/usr/bin/env python
to
#!/usr/bin/env python2.5
and repeat the process for /opt/pycallblocker/callblocker-daemon.py:
Code:
root
leafpad /opt/pycallblocker/callblocker-daemon.py
and replace the first line to the same as previously.
3. Try to run pycallblocker normally?

If it's the case of using python instead of python2.5 in scripts' code, a massive facepalm tsunami is expected :P

ok ok sorry guys but too late, got it installed finally.

My buddy brought me his notebook and asked me to reformat it and install a new* copy of windows. So I figured why not give him the Ultimate and while at it, flash my phone.

Everything went better than expected and now I have a fresh new phone and all my goodies work just fine, including PYCallBlocker!


Thank you guys for all the help but sorry I couldn't get this figured out for anyone else if they get the same issue. It was much easier to do as recommended and just get a pc with the proper operating system!

Glad to hear it worked out.

Also, it's a bit late, but for 7, Ultimate is kind of a waste of money, all the features there are corporate in nature. Pro has all the features anyone needs for a significant cut in price. Unless, you know, you have a use for bitlocker.

no Idea what a Bitlocker is, but this college kid knows that the way he got it will mean ANY version is good enough lol

but I will keep that in mind when I go to reformat my PC. Should I not use the Ultimate for my wifes netbook? She is running Vista and I HATE it!
