[Q] Omnia 7 / WP7 drivers won't install - Omnia 7 General

I'm a bit stuck here. For about 2 weeks I haven't been able to sync my phone. It turns out that the drivers aren't installed properly. Unfortunately all the obvious ways to fix this (re-installing Zune, update drivers, a different cable) haven't worked. Has anyone got any ideas? The phone is running 7008.
Thanks

try another usb-port... (serious )

What OS are you using? It appears to be either Vista or 7.
When I had Vista I had numerous problems with USB devices not working right / not installing properly.
I solved my USB issues in Vista by overwriting the standard USB drivers with ones from Windows XP.
There are a lot of posts over the net about Vista USB problems. Maybe worth trying this link if you are using Vista.
http://www.thedave.ca/geek/windows-vista-usb-device-detection-problems/

I'm on Windows 7. My phone has been playing up recently, but I also installed some alternative USB drivers a few weeks ago, so it could be either or none of those reasons.
I got a message the other day saying "the device has malfunctioned", but just the once. It hasn't happened since.
I've just tried all the USB ports and it hasn't made any difference. It's a tough one. Even the MS fix it tool fails. I just can't get that driver updated.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks

Can you try updating on another pc?

I did want to try that, but my laptop isn't working well and it turns out it's on XP SP2, so Zune doesn't work. I would update it but don't have to now as I just solved it!
The problem was indeed LibUSB. I remember having issues with that thing years ago. It hadn't uninstalled properly, so I re-installed it and removed it while in Safe Mode after reading about problames with other devices all over the net. Everything is fine now . Shame I already lost my Zune profile, but no big deal.
Thanks for the help guys

I dont know what am i suppose to do after that as i ran into a professional guy on msn and he showed me how to get into bootloader mode and he is too busy to help me out so i am here.
What i did was Its battery was low and i tried to Hard Reset it and now it wont turn on.

This is the Error i am getting when i followed Method 2 .
Kindly tell me what am i doing wrong i already Unchecked the USB connection in ActiveSync ....Whatelse am i suppose to do...please guys i really love this phone and cant wait to use it again.
Thanks.
ZODI.
hi ZODI,
you better kill the ActiveSync all together by using windows tak manager. I mean to kill the process called wcescom.exe on your PC.
Then reconnect your UNIVERSAL.
Wait a bit, then have a look in PC's Device Manager, if your UNIVERSAL was recognised and it should be listed within USB devices as HTC USB Sync or similar.
If so, then do a reflash one more time.
good luck
buzz
Hi ZODI,
you'd better kill ActiveSync all the way down, by using windows task manager.
- disconnect your UNIVERSAL
- kill wcescomm.exe process on your PC
- connect your UNI again and wait a bit
- check if display shows USB at the top of the screen
- in PC's Device Manager check, if the device driver (HTC USB Sync) was loaded
If all done, proceed and do a ROM REFLASH.
If not, you may also check at http://buzzdev.net/list.php?40 mainly those two sticky posts at the top.
good luck
buzz
Ok giving it a try ....hope it works this time and thanks.

Am I installing incorrectly?

Being a Mac user and not using Windows mobile device for over 6 years, I seem to have totally forgotten some basics.
I bought a game from handango called Resco Guardians
http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...349&sectionId=7612&merch=L1_Bestsellers_Games
(it stated the game should work on HD2) but totally forgotten how to install 3rd party apps..in the old days I remember using Activesync. But now, I loaded the exe file to the device memory card and tried to run/install it from there, but got message this is not a PPC compatible software.
Have I installed it wrong or is it simple not compatible?
Also, is there specific drivers I need to install for Windows 7 to recognise my device, as the Windows 7 mobile app does not seem to recognise my HD2.
Thanks for advice and please excuse the fact that my mind has gone blank regarding Windows.
The .exe is for your PC. It will automatically add your new game to ActiveSync, and send it over when you next dock.
For Windows 7 you need to download the Windows Mobile Device Centre. No drivers are required.
Connect HD2 via Active Sync or Windows Media Center for Vista and Win7 and run .exe file from PC... It´l install your game to your PDA...
You dont need any drivers...
Do I select Activesync or Hard disk mode (usb plug option)? it must be todo with me trying to connect using VMWare Fusion, as the device does not seem to be recognised.
Active Sync mode, btw Windows 7 should already have Windows Mobile Device Centre installed form what I know, is there no cd/software with the hd2?
Yes device centre present, but no CD with HD2, in Activesync mode, device is not recognised...maybe to do with me running Windows in Virtual mode..but never happened before with Blackberry etc.
Just tried connecting my HD2 with a Vista laptop, still cannot connect in Activesync mode. Could a HD2 owner please tell me how they are connecting to their PC. Maybe an option I have not selected?
Thanks
You need to install Windows Mobile Device Centre for Vista, not Activesync

Thanks for link, its already installed (and reinstalled it) but there seems to be a problem with HD2 being recognised...did your phone come with a CD?
OK fixed it - for anybody else who may encounter same problem...make sure "Enable Faster Data Sync" is NOT checked in USB to PC setting.
That's odd, mines checked and it works fine. I am using Windows 7 and not Vista so may thats why it works for me?
At least its working now!
Yes since I unchecked the option, now works on Windows 7 and Vista in virtual mode on my Mac.

1.5.3.10093.31
after a looooooooooong download session / install whichever ... the next day i woke up and ran Kies it throws me this error
Kies error, MSC.Thunder.UI.Controls.ExceptionPopup
and it wasn't even "upgraded", it's still the old one, damn piece of Kies
now it broke the old one, tried to uninstall clean up reinstall it 3 times already still doesn't work
gonna try CCleaner and see what else i can hack out of WinXP SP3 to get the piece of Kies to work again
The only reason i keep the piece of Kies around is to check for Official ROMs nothing more, because it's a piece of Kies, it's a miracle when it works.
I'm thinking about running it (Kies) inside a XP virtual machine. Kies reminds me of software that existed 5 years ago that came with printers and sucked like nothing else. Inside a virtual machine USB is the only issue that I see. You may have trouble if your host is 64bit??
I NEVER upgrade kies from the application. Just goto the Samsung site, and download the new version. Works without problems
I really hope Samsung enables OTA updates!

i did that, it was still the old version on the samsung website
seems like the new version is only available through the kies software itself

it works fine, actually works better than connecting it to the host machine
i'm using VMware with USB and WinXP SP3 installed as guest
when i plug in my phone, it willl automatically launch and sync with the phone inside WinXP SP3
i had some trouble with Kies when it was on 64 bit installed on Win7 itself
The solution to fixing the error is to uninstall Kies
delete the directory C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies
then reinstall Kies newest version http://www.samsungmobile.co.uk/mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s-support
v1.5.3.10093
info also on wiki

I only got rid of that error by using the older version instead. Then that one kept failing flashes and re-downloading the whole thing every time it tried again. Who writes this crap? Eventually it broke the phone to the point it couldn't do anything else with it. I was trying to use the official tools to avoid any hassle, but after I gave up on Kies it took about 5 minutes to sort everything out with Odin.

Right click - uninstall, reboot, reinstall drivers.
Same problem here!
My G2 is recently updated to 4.4.2.
I have tried on several computers, different ports and no help.
On the first connection to a PC not connected before windows reports "USB device not recognized" problem.
After that every time I connect the phone to the same computer the phone itself only recognizes that it is using USB charging mode, it does not recognize the computer connection (known by the USB icon on android system tray) even with "Ask upon connection option checked".
Even when I manualy change the Android mode in Settings --> PC Connection from MTP to PTP or even LG software, nothing happens.
Definitely there seems to be a problem with the phone, but I don't believe it's a software but a firmware problem.
Please help if anyone knows what to do.

Windows 8.1 Users be careful!!!

I thought i was going crazy! I lost MTP and ADB and could not figure out why. I forced the Google USB driver but it still got overwritten!
I turned off automatic driver updates and deleted all drivers... Found this waiting for me!
It caused all sorts of issues. If your on Win 8.1 be warned!!!

Not sure if this a Google issue or a Windows 8.1 issue...
Post what you know :good:
Got the same update, it didn't recognize my N7. Uninstalled it in device manager and hid the update in Windows update. When I connected the N7 back, Win 8.1 installed the correct ADB driver. No issues since then.
I never use automatic updates or driver updates built into windows, the windows update drivers a lot of the time can be problematic. When I saw that update I immediately hide it.
A tool you can use to clean up USB driver installs is USBDeview,
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html
It allows you to uninstall all USB devices, including those disconnected, and hubs. Have to be careful when removing connected devices like mouse and keyboard, or your computer may freeze. If I have issues with connecting my android devices, I use this to clean up so I can reinstall the drivers.
Good info!
In all my years of computing and Android I have never seen Microsoft push a bad driver so I always had it on Auto Pilot. Learned my lesson!
i got hit with this too... switched back to Google driver and everything is working again

I didn't like the look of it when it showed up in Win Update, so I just hid it, thanks for the heads up anyway!
If you look in the device manager you might find multiple instances of the driver under the ACER device. Deleting all of the "greyed out" (ghost) ones may resolve the problem. Otherwise deleting them all and then connecting the device should work. If not, delete the device under Portable devices, then connecting your device will clear up the problem.

And yes, that update was an unexpected a$$-kicker. It knocked out N5 and N4 too.
