Hi Guys,
I need some help with my Xperia10. I cannot install any apk's. I have downloaded an apk installer & when it runs it tells me my phone isn't connected to my PC although it is.
I can connect to my phone with the desktop software easily and have a look at the sd card contents, but if I exit that software & make sure it's not running in the background, I still cannot get any installer to "see my" phone.
I have followed instructions on how to connect properly which I got from this forum but no joy whatsover.
I also have a similar problem with a tablet, which is running Android 2.3 ( sorry to admins to mention it here but I can't find my tablet in any of your links) the PC doesn't see that either.
I have downloaded & installed various usb drivers in case that's the problem, but again nothing.
My PC is running Win7 build 7601, 4gb memory, intel 2.8 dual core.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Hi,
I'm not sure i understand well your pb but in case :
To install non-market apk, you have to go in SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS and tick "Unknown sources"...
Also, take a tour in SETTING/APPLICATIONS/DEVELOPPEMENT and tick "USB debog"
Now, you are able to install apk from other sources than market...
When you connect your phone to your computer, you must have a look to your phone... slide the notification bar and press on "connect the sd card"...
I hope it helps...

Hello!
Oh this is going to be fun, long story short I have a HTC Hero which I used to be able to connect to my pc and use it as a mass storage device absolutey fine. Since that time though I have:
- Wiped my PC and reinstalled Windows
- Flashed a custom rom onto my Hero (Currently MoDaCo's 2.9 - although I think the mass storage has worked before while using this)
Anyway, simple problem; the Hero won't connect to Windows via USB. No "Mount" notification on the phone, no entry in HTC Sync - nothing. Everytime I connect it via the cable Windows ~does~ read something enough to say it is an "Unknown" device and the yellow balloon pop up will appear saying the device has malfuntioned / can't be used. A driver problem you might say?!
I've tried to download the SDK today and get the USB driver but Window's won't let me apply it in anyway. If I try and force it to use it on the "unknown" device it just simply says the driver is not related / has no information.
So thoughts? Where would you start on solving this? Could the custom rom on the phone be the cause?
Thanks all!

Uninstall any HTC software.
Plug your phone in. Go Control Panel --> System --> Device Manager -->
Find the yellow ! . Then right click and UNINSTALL. If there are multiple !'s uninstall all of them.
Then reinstall HTC SYNC.
NO,... Follow this instead,.. SORRY!!!
[Guide] How to Setup Correct Hero Drivers
I just received my new dell streak this morning. I've been many hours attempting to root it but I'm having driver problems...
The Streak syncs fine in Windows, I'm able to send & receive files, etc...
However, when I put my Streak in Bootloader mode and connect it with the usb, I keep getting the ''driver could not be found'' message...
It displays Android 1.0 in Device Manager with a yellow ! saying ''unknown driver''
I searched for hours for a windows 7 driver for the streak but no luck...
Anyway I can get the driver working?
install dell pc suite which is on the sd card in it are drivers
If you still cant find the drivers you need to :
Go to device manager
Right click Android 1.0
Select Update Driver Software
Select Browse my computer.....
Select Let me pick
Select All Hardware
Scroll down to Google INC
Select Bootloader
Hope that works for you

Seems you was right, I checked the dell installation folder and it had drivers in it which I had to install manually, run the setup.
I will try this and report back
Ok, the bad news it STILL didn't work.
The good news I got it working myself, BUT I had to do it manually!
Browse computer for drivers, have disk, etc...
My streak is now Rooted!
Thanks for your help & putting me on the right track
Rooted but....
Hi, I finally managed to root with 1.5 superoneclick tablet Android version 2.2 but still not let me change the system / app /. you have any idea why?

Hi guys, I've tried installing the drivers for the mytouch4g phone so that it can connect to my thinkpad laptop, but nothings working.. any suggestions on how you guys got it to work when it wasn't showing recognizable . Any help would be great
uninstall then reinstall the drivers.
which drivers? all of them? thanx a lot for the reply
yeah.
Do you have usb debugging enabled?is the sd card mounted?
yea and it still not able to notice that it's plugged in? so should I download all new drivers for the laptop?
The driver you need is HTCDriver.exe, get it from the web.
Have you checked your Connect to PC setting?

bchen03 nailed it right on the head. 99% of the time, ANY driver + hardware install should go like this:
- Install the driver
- Connect the device
It really couldn't get any simpler. The HTCDriver.exe installer is included on your microSD card. Just double-click, install and once it's done, connect your phone and wait for Winderz to do it's thing.
To troubleshoot, go to Device Manager (right-click My Computer/Computer > Properties) and look for a 'Unknown Device' or a device with a splat/yellow exclamation mark on it. Right-click, Uninstall/Remove.
Reboot your computer, making sure your phone isn't connected. Install the HTCDriver (if you haven't already) and then connect your phone.
Heres the gyst of things real quick:
Currently Running CM7 and I want to ODIN back to stock, however every time i plug my phone to my PC the screen prompts on the lower right task bar "Installing Drivers", then i get a notification saying can't install drivers. I've tried almost everything, installing the nexus s drivers, samsung kies, and the AIO vibrant toolbox. I just can't seem to get my phone to install on my pc. Without my phone being able to plug into my PC, I can't odin back to stock because the computer doesn't read the phone. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Have you tried downloading the SDK manager and loading them from there?
same thing happened to me, first you have to find out what kind of op system ur pc is using (32 bit, 64 bit, or 86) then reinstall the driver and that should fix ur problem
samsung vibrant usb driver for windows 7 problem
I need help. I have tried to connect my PC which runs windows 7 but I couldn't install driver for w7. I have tried with lies mini but it didn't work. By the way I am using ics on my phone. Could you help me find driver for t mobile Samsung vibrant sgh t959 for windows 7. Thanks anyway.
You should be able to go into device manager and find your drivers that are already installed. "Forget" or delete them. Reboot your phone (just in case) and your computer and once both are booted up, plug your phone into the USB and W7 should be able to pull the correct drivers on-line. Has worked for me in the past.
i did what you said but windows 7 couldn't install driver. i am not sure what problem is but so annoying. i need to find some solution!
Have you tried to install the drivers before connecting the phone? Have you first tried to uninstall any old drivers? Also which drivers are you using?
go to Samsung website --> search for t959 and select it from the results --> support on the upper right --> Manuals and Downloads tab --> Software tab --> Drivers are first item
Hi guys,
I got me a Defy and wanted to flash CM7/CM9. I got a few problems:
1. What did I do until now?
I rooted with Super one click, es it didn't work with the pushing and exploting the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (after exploiting, if the Defy did it properly, it used to exit from shell and the phone remained offline, so no more action could be performed with adb).
Also, ClockworkMod Recovery is installed.
I used this and another push/chmod approach: Cyanogenmod Wiki /Motorola_Defy:_Full_Update_Guide
2. Problem A)
When putting the CM Update zips on the SD card and booting, it will say it can't mount the SD Card.
I mixed some things up and tried to make the SD card mountable again with this approach (last paragraph): Cyanogenmod.com /index.php?title=Motorola_Defy:_Full_Update_Guide&oldid=13776#Problems_with_Android_2.1
By typing too fast i added two incorret entries (shouldn't be a problem).
Somewhere than I read, installing CM7 is only possible with Android 2.2. My Phone says the following:
- System version: Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.DE
- Firmware version: 2.1-update1
- Kernel version 2.6.29
3. Problem B)
So I thougth, next approach should be updating to Froyo. Sadly, Motorola Software Update doesn't recognize my phone, wheter with drivers from first link above nor with the drivers that come with the Update center (frankly, I haven't tried first link driver only but Software Update only and both togheter).
Several wipes and factory resets didn't help.
Any thoughts how I could fix this and get me a CM7? Best would be without loosing garantee (I mean sticking with an official software version as downgrade possibility). Should I have updated without ClockworkMod installed? Could return the phone and get me a new one if necessary.
Thanks for your help.
Edit: Is it possible that Motorola Update doesn't work with Win7 64Bit at all?
1st of all you MUST have froyo kernel (but certainly not eclair) before you can install Cm7 properly!
2nd it seems that your SD Card could be corrupted. It's important to eject your device from Windows PC properly before unplugging it. Otherwise you can corrupt your sdcard and/or internal memory.
Here is how you fix both your SD Card and internal FAT32 memory.
1) Plug in the device to the PC.
2) In Android turn on USB
3) The removable drives will show up in Windows.
4) Do one drive at a time. Right click on the removable drive and select Properties.
5) In this screen click the tools tab. Under error checking click the check now button
6) On this screen click the box "Automatically fix errors" and click start.
7) When it finishes it will either tell you if fixed problem or not.
8) If it did fix problems then you will find on the removable drive a folder called FOUND.000, FOUND.001, etc. You can delete those as they are broken files that got corrupt and you probably can’t do anything with them anyway!
9) Now eject the drives properly and you done.
Hope that helps.
Aw, men! I used not to eject any devices from my computer
I will try repairing and the the Software Update Center again.
If not, anybody knows which SBF file from sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php is the one I would get after updating? I really don't get this list at all.
Thanks.
Ok I checked the sd card and there were no problems. So I switched to "Portal and tools" to check the Defy itself. The the first time Motohelper popped up and said something like:
"Starting the software not possible. In order to start Motorola Phone Portal you have to shut down all Motorola PC software and your phone has to be in one of the following modes: PC Mode, PC Tools or Portal Tools [not readable].
Open USB connection on your device and select either PC Model, PC Tools or Portal Tools"
This message keeps poping up if USB Debugging keeps enabled. Once I disable it and select Portal and tools again no pop up happens but no software (at least visible) starts. Should there pop up something? Start Motorola Phone Portal at device plug in is enabled. Or is this a normal behaviour at all?
Thanks.
Check out device manager in your windows if you have any question marks after connecting your defy to it properly (usb debugging and phone portal on). Maybe you do need some extra drivers on this one.
Well, now i got tired of this and I flashed a SBF with Froyo. Now I`ll trie flashing CM again.
Thanks anyway!
