For an extremely long amount of time I have tried figuring out why my wifi wasn't working in Windows 8. I finally narrowed it down to the fact that the Wireless card doesn't have the correct drivers. So I go to download the new drivers and when I try to install it won't let me. All it says is I have the wrong version. Even when trying to install in Windows 7 Compatibility mode.
So I simply came to ask, is there a way to force a driver to install?
Or has anyone figured out how to install these drivers?
I have an HP Folio 13 1020us with an Atheros and Broadcom Wifi Cards
Thank you for your time!
normally i would just modify the INF file to include Windows 8 version numbers but the INF is very big and not as clear as id have expected, the bottom two thirds of the INF are meaningless for this task, its the top bit, but i cant see where it does the version check, so either ive missed it or its built in to the executable. if its the latter your screwed unless...
you can try test which its way its doing the version check by extracting the drivers from the exe you download from their website then try manually updating the drivers, by going to device manager, then clicking update drivers on the wireless adaptor, tell it you have the disk and then point it to the INF file you just extracted
i dont have your laptop so i cant test it

Hello all I'ave been trying to root my epic 4g for the last couple of days now without any success. I narrowed the problem down to not getting the USB drivers install. I am running windows7 32bit and have downloaded the same drivers from links on this site and also from samsung's site directly. The file that I downloaded comes as a "windows installer package type" after its unzipped so it installs automatically upon opening.
After the attempt install I get the following message:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
Coprocessor X No driver found
Base System Device X No driver found
Base System Device X No driver found
Can someone please help on this issue. I have searched the forums without any success and I refuse to believe that I'm the only one with this problem..
reinstall the .exe file, but right click and run as administrator. when you plug your phone in, uninstall the drivers through the device manager to make it "search" for updated drivers. worse comes to worse, instead of "automatically search for drivers" in the device manager, manually choose where the drivers are and navigate to the program (usually samsung something or another) and tell it to search.
make sure you have any other samsung driver or program uninstalled. some people have been having trouble with this.
This is the problem because this file is a windows installer package type after unzipping if I right click on the program my only option is to install, repair or uninstall. I'm not getting an option to run as administrator or am I even getting to see any files much less an EXE file.
Is there any way I can change the file type from the Windows Installer Package (.msi)?? And what should I change it to so it would act a little more friendly.
I would install pda net which is bundled with the app, plus you get a decent tethering app.

Thanks alot. Now I can get some sleep.
You guys are great...
Goodnight.
I personally would like to know of any foolproof way of installing drivers on windows 7... I scripted an all in one root and recovery program, and by far the biggest issue is failed drivers in windows 7... I've been avoiding installing window 7 on my bootcamp partition, but I may have to just so I can experience the same hell as everyone else.
Even if Odin3 is Windows only, at least drivers aren't an issue on my Mac.

You can install regular drivers by holding F8 at windows boot and disabling "driver signature" and then installing the drivers.
You can also permenantly dissable "driver signature" just google it,i forgot how to do it,its in gpedit.msc somewhere,i think.

Thanks for the response, I'll look into it...
Does that mean to install 32 bit drivers even on 64 bit windows?
Just trying to clarify...
Once I find a solution that works reliably, I want to put it in my original posts so that others can benefit from it.

not to beat a dead horse or anything....but .msi's shouldnt need to be unzipped, they should be executable that will bring up windows installer...maybe im missing something but glad you got it worked out!
in cmd
fastboot devices (shows my serial) but when I try to fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-herring.img it keeps saying error: device not found and I cant for the life of me figure out what's wrong. I have tweeted a few people with no luck...

Try resetting your phone and your computer then try again
like a reboot? that hasn't helped yet...
yeah exactly- hmmm try re-installing the drivers
where can I find the samsung drivers and I am trying to do that again now.. but I am not sure what drivers you are talking about specifically.

you have to get the drivers through android sdk
(with phone usb connected)
device manager
Android Device
right click
update drivers
click browse my computer then next and then click install
if it doesnt give you that option let me know
okay I am having problems there. First, it doesn't recognize an android device, it says unknown device and it won't take any drivers I have followed the pdanet steps, and I have tried the galaxy s drivers with no luck...
okay there is your problem now we are getting somewhere,
do you have android sdk
if yes do you know how to install packages
I have tried this on two 64bit machines and one x86 the one I am on now.. and can't get it to work. I feel like a total newb but this is not a new thing to me ( rooting/unlocking etc) I have had a g1 since the release, then a nexus one since release and just got the nexus s yesterday and have struggled with this one..
what do you mean by install packages, and I appreciate your help
okay no problem it took me a bit to figure it out too.....there arent samsung drivers for this phone they come straight from google through android sdk. im assuming you have it and im going to assume its in this directory if you did eveything right with your n1
c:/androidsdk
in the directory there is a file called SDK setup.exe open it
once it opens do yourself a favor and click cancel dont ask why just do it
now thats out of the way there is 5 options on the left pane of the android sdk window click settings.
then at the bottom of that window is a box under misc. by force http..make sure its checked
then on the left pane goto then available packages
click them all to save yourself trouble and then on the bottom right install packages
let me know when thats done
doing it now - not sure if this helps or not but I had done this last night on a different pc - unfortunately that is at home and I am on my work laptop right now.
and... done.
okay now go back into the device manager and right click on unknown device
update/re-install/install whichever it says then when it asks search or browse
BROWSE
c:/androidsdk/googleusb driver
and watch the magic happen
okay a few things: first it says e: now for the phone under portable devices second, there is no google usb drivers, so I tried it just under the AndroidSDK folder and all the following and it said:
The best driver software for your device is already installed. WPD Filesystem Volume Driver
thoughts?
go back to the sdk setup.exe expand the boxes under available packages and read me what you see
is this where you are asking me to display from? http://www.twitpic.com/3gwnus
OR here: http://www.twitpic.com/3gwo9i
let me save you the trouble
unzip cut and paste to your androidsdk folder
http://www.multiupload.com/Y3T61793BP
yes and paste the file i sent you into that folder
now it still says the best driver is already installed...
uninstall your phone

Extract the installer package, most manufacturer's driver packages have installers that are just wrappers around the real installer. Extract your driver package and run it's setup in compatibility mode. Worst comes to worse, update your driver manually by extracting and selecting the folder containing the inf files in device manager.

Ok so i was running Vegabean beta6 on my ntt smartbook pad umts but it didn't work well so i thought ill install CM10.1 Build 15 rom.

But i keep geting "Windows can't install device 'Unknown device' "
I tried also this http://www.craftedge.com/tutorials/driver_install_windows8/driver_install_win8.html
But it didnt help, still have the same information.
Anyone know what to do? How to install them? Or how to flash my tablet...
Thanks for any help
And sorry for my english Hope u understood me
As I have noticed there are two kinds of USB drivers for this tablet.
Strange enough I need one kind for installation under WinXP and other kind for installation under 64bit Win7 (they were not interchangable!).
In driver's folders "amd64" and "i386" they both have the same content, but they totally differ in driver's root folder.
One has only "NvidiaUsb.inf" and the other has: androidwinusb86.cat, androidwinusba64.cat, android_winusb.inf and source.properties.
I know I got one from MoDaCo: http://www.modaco.com/topic/331467-...-rom-for-the-advent-vega-with-online-kitchen/
Or if you don't want to download that 97MB file you have here only the needed zip file: http://www.wuala.com/Cosmichyrax/Programas/ANDROID/r1-tegrausbdrivers-modaco.zip/
And the other from this site (it's the site for my POV tablet):
http://downloads.pointofview-online.com/Drivers/10 inch Tablet PC Firmware TAB-TEGRA-10-1 upgrade/
And the needed file is called "Tegra Tab 10 USB Driver.zip".
Both links found thru Google!

Have you tried AUDI?
so I got the latest Universal Naked Drivers 0.73 zip file, extraced it to its own folder on my desktop, and then I opened device manager, went to Other Devices>Nexus 4, right clicked, uninstalled, restarted my laptop and nexus 4, and then opened device manager again, and this time clicked on Update Drivers for nexus 4, and when I select browse files on my computer, then I click that folder, which has two sub folders in it, one for AMD64 and then i386, and there is also some other files in the main folder, outside the subfolders, called androidwinusba64 and androidwinusb86, as well as two more called android_apxusb and android_winusb.
But When i click on the main folder so it searched through that and the two subfolders, it keeps saying it's not finding any drivers for my device, and i've tried clicking on each of the sub folders, and neither of those make it work either. I've done what every guide has shown me, which I've installed drives hundreds of times in my 27years of life, and I have never had a problem before. Especially not with Android devices. I can't get my brand new 16gb nexus 4 that i just got yesterday (got it while I wait for Tmobile to get the Nex5 in stock, and then I am switching them out) to show up under my computer as a media device so I can actually drop files onto it. I dont get what the issue is here. I know that the 4.3 update (which I updated to last night when i first powered on my phone and activated it) cause some driver issues from what i've read, but supposedly they have been fixed or whatever, and this Naked Driver is supposed to help as well. But getting them installed first would work better lol. everytime I plug the phone in, it tries to install the drivers itself, but it keeps failing for some reason. Any thoughts on how to proceed ?
It's ADB driver, you need to enable USB Debugging. If you are using Windows 8, reboot it into advance mode and disable driver signature checking.

i already know all that lol I've been modding for quite a few years, so I know all about USB debugging, thanks tho. That's definitely not the problem. I can get the phone to work with ADB no problem, but I can't get it to show up as a media device like its supposed to when i have that selected in the USB mode options.
Oh, and I am sorry, I shoulda clarified, I am on Win 7. I already read about the Windows 8 thing tho. Which I got a copy of Win8, so I do plan on upgrading soon, check it out see what its like. But I just gto a new copy of Ubuntu, so I've been playing around with that a lot lately.
Anyone ? I have tried so many different things and Just can't get it to work, bout to chuck my laptop out the window lol
I can't speak for the naked drivers as I have never used them, but the ones that come with the SDK work fine with Win 7 on Android 4.3 (Copy and pasting files with Windows Explorer, adb, fastboot, etc.).
Did you resolve your issue? If not you should try to run "Usb Tree View" and make sure your phone internal USB switch is set to PDA and not MODEM or BOTH etc. I don't know how that works for the Nex4 but its a thing to look at.
