PPC6700 USB Modem Drivers on VISTA?

Ok i just got a new laptop which is loaded with the new (but crappy) microsoft vista operating system. first off let me say this, vista is an ultra headache to deal with! i dont recommend anyone using this operating system, unbuntu (linux) is way easier than vista.
anyways, back to where i was going.... my other laptop, which is loaded with windows xp, succesfully installed the usb modem drivers for the apache 6700. but whenever i try to install the same exact driver on my new laptop it says "windows cannot find the specified file"! i pointed the driver file , .inf, to the correct directory and everything. i downloaded another dialer and driver file and put it on the desktop, still windows cannot find the file even though i point windows to it (cot damn vista!).
this leads me to believe that this driver file does not work under vista. can anyone else confirm this or tell me what im doing wrong? i tried many different ways of install the driver, but vista fails. please, can anyone help me?

no body huh?

vista and dun
i too have the same problem with vista... i have read and tried several "solutions" to this but none have worked for me- my computer keeps installing a treo driver which doesnt work- funny part is i can do a BT DUN @ about 115.2kbps but if i push it too hard the phone freezes... i have been thinking about installing xp on my brand new laptop that came with vista.

Anyone figure out how to install USB drivers on Vista, mines also installs Treo Drivers on its own i can't stop it from doing that, any insight?

I am using a PPCGeeks Rom (LennySH i think) and it has an application called internet sharing. When connected with my Vista laptop the laptop uses it automatically for internet no additional drivers needed.
It also has a bluetooth setting that Vista will use to connect to a "personal area network" and your online without the cable. However the usb connection is faster.

**using Helmi not LennySH

I ran into the same problem and received DOC files from Blueant which helped (they weren't perfect). I've attached a zip file of the doc file for you to try. Just unzip and take a look-see.

hmm
thanks for the doc. is my device supposed to be auto installing the software when i connect it holding down the vol + button?..i think this is whats causing my problem bc im still unable to properly install this upgrade

ugh
im beginning to think that this software isnt comp. with x64 bit systems..lol

Once you get it right (Device Manager, etc.), it auto-installs after running the EXE from your PC. 64-bit Vista might be a gotcha. While Blueant takes a couple days to respond via email, they have been fairly thorough, at least with me. You might be better served by calling them.

I'm running Vista 32-bit, but following the Vista instructions on their site I was able to get mine set up to update without a problem. Not sure if it's different for x64 though.

Well, during my initial firmware upgrade, I was getting a BFU mode error. "Firmware upgrade could not be controlled. The device may still be processing a previous request." Their response was to provide me with that doc, stating that it was different from what was found on the web. Maybe they updated the web instructions or you had someone looking over you...

[USB Driver] Keep having problems installing USB Driver ... HELP!!!!

Hi friends,
Please help me....
I still can't installing USB driver on my PC. I tried updating current driver at Device Manger (PC) but I couldn't update it
Of course I mounted the USB card and switched on/off the sync option in the second screen of the nexus one.
I downloaded the files (USB Driver) from the link someone recomended (days before)...
I really don´t know what am I doing bad????
Do you have any other option????
Thanx

Which operating system are you using?

Are you running Windows XP 64 bit?

OS
Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3

32 or 64 bit? There are no working drivers on 64 bit XP

OS...????
I guess it should be 32 bit... actually it's a shame... how can I know it ????
(the shame is that know I could be focused on a new problem)
Thanx

Right-click My Computer and go to Properties. It should say near the top, Windows XP 64 Home Edition (or whatever yours is - I'm not certain that it will explicitly state if it's 32 bit, so if it just says "Windows XP Home Edition" or something, you probably have 32)

I can't...
Hi there!
I've seen my PC details and it's 32 bits.
If I try to install the driver using the Device Manager it seems that there is an error and it's not possible to conect with the device.
It says: "Code 10".
Can anybody help me?????
Thanx

Android USB Tethering Problem

An odd one....
I have one of the HD2 Android releases on my phone, and it's working fine EXCEPT....
USB tethering does not work.
Now here's the odd part.
1. I have two machines. Both running Win7/x64.
2. One loads the RNDIS driver and works fine. The other can't find the driver on Windows Update.
I have no clue what's going on, but the USB signature is VID_0bb4&PID_0FFe, which is valid for the HTC Sapphire.
And, like I said, the other machine -also running Win7 - finds it just fine.
Any ideas?

Answering my own question...
If you run into this, put this somewhere on your disk and point "Update Driver" at it.
It'll work.
Now why this was on the disk of ONE machine (which worked) and NOT the other (which did not), and why Windows Update wouldn't find it either (!!!) is unknown.
All I know is that this is the file that Windows 7 wanted, and didn't have on one of the computers - but did have on the other.

i'm running Windows 7 x64 and when i start usb tethering from android on HD2 there is Android Device driver missing in Device Manager, I've read that Windows 7 already have Remote NDIS support so no need for seperate driver download if you have Windows Mobile Device Center but it ain't working, the same problem as you had.
Luckely, your solution and this separate driver works, Windows 7 complains about unsigned driver but who cares, USB tethering is working
Thanks!

didn't work...
i attempted installing the driver OEM106.inf, but received an error once it was loaded on my pc:
"This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)"
i was having similar problems as Genesis trying to tether my Android phone via USB to my pc and receiving a Remote NDIS driver problem (same as above). I successfully tethered my phone to my PC once (and only once), but after I woke the computer from sleep mode, my pc began giving me errors on the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" stating that windows cannot load the drivers ("rndismpx.sys" & "usb8023x.sys"). I haven't been able to tether via USB since then.
Windows Update states the driver is up to date, and when I tried Genesis3's driver fix, it only gave me the same error.
Any ideas?
Running win7/x64 on a toshiba i3, and a HTC nexus 1 running android 2.2.2

The files referenced have somehow been damaged or destroyed. Find them from another machine and put them back, and the OEM file I posted will work.
Those two files have to be on your machine - the OEM file is the pointer to them, but the base-level drivers have to exist.

you may need the latest version of htc sync
i did all my flashing on an xp computer and when i got win7 i just could not get any drivers to work. i downloaded the latest version of htc sync and all the drivers loaded just fine. time to flash this thing again ive had the same rom for two weeks

This is what I was looking for, and it worked for me, thanks!

PISSA! Tried for a while to get usb tethering to work and this did it! Took a minute for windows to sort things out after the driver update but its working! THANK YOU!

Worked like a charm, thanks! I just had to update driver with provided file and it started working. Thank you very much again! Bump may not be a bad idea, maybe few more users will solve their problems with this. HD2 isn't a native Android device, so it wasn't that strange that it didn't worked out-of-the-box even with Win7 RDNIS (or sth like that) native support.

I would like to share my solution. I modified the oem.inf file in the oem.zip(above) ,by changing the manufacturer name and device id as given in the PC 's device manager(unknown device).
It should work for xp,seven,vista.

Phone not recognised in MAGLDR modus

Hi,
I am trying to install my first ROM but none of the drivers are working for me, I have Win7 64bit is that the reason why? Does anyone know a work around as I don't have access to a 32bit version
Would be great if someone could help as I'm dying to get my first rom on this phone!
Thanks

it also says when I try to flash that rapi.dll is missing, however I have searched around and it is apparently in either ActiveSync or WMDC however I cannot find either of these that work on Win7 64bit

So install x86 version in second partition (dual boot), then you will be certain that everything will work.
I have x86 not x64 so I can not guarantee :/

don't actually open it it just installs what you need.
unrar and place the rapitools in the same folder as the rom installer.
I have windows 7 64bit Ultimate and I have not had a issue installing Roms to several different phones

Hey not a problem I have seen this asked in several threads and pretty much all the answers was just install Win 32bit instead. For me that was not a option to basically lose most of my functionality just to use one program. Either it works at a friends, I find my own solution , or it was just a screw it guess I ain't flashing.
