hi,
i want to connect my ics android to my windows 8 laptop. i need usb drivers to install magldr/roms etc.
i still have windows 7 (laptop) but am going through the motions of changeover to windows 8 (laptop)
i have tried searching but with windows 8 (pc) and windows 8 (phone) all mixed up i cannot find the answer
google 'android usb drivers', there are several ways to get them, , or install teh nand toolkit which has a button marked 'drivers'

EDIT: yep that does it
but now i have missing RAPI.dll error.
back to win 7 laptop for now for a breather
windows 8 laptop is hard work
in win 7 rapi dll was often caused by teh slightly out of date windows mobile device center that shipped, and a manual update from the ms site of wmdc fixed it, , i think i half remember that running daf.exe instead of romupdateutility when flashing magldr gave this too, but i cant be certain (been aaages since i last flashed magldr, lol)

I'm using windows 7 and wanted to change ROM, i was wondering if the .net 3.5 thats recommended and needed for the HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex has any complications or if indeed is need at all?
can't comment on the tool you talk about
but win7 is the first windows that comes
with .net 3.5 installed from the start
I tried to flash my mobile from a Vista PC and I got problems with it.
So I went into the basement and used my old XP Computer.
And it worked flawlessly
Maybe Windows 7 works better, but I don't think so. Just try it and install .NET 3.5 and start RUU.
If it doesn't work, you got to look for a XP Computer

Maybe you had to install the cracked drivers (youwe got 64 and 32bit version), sometimes you need to disable the USB connection under WMdevice Center, put the device in bootloader and then run RUU update.
Argh sorry, totally forgot to mention that.
But I had tried (nearly) everything:
Flashing without changes in Vista (just WMDC installed)
disabled/enabled "allow USB connections"
normal/cracked drivers
...
So if somebody know what's wrong, please tell me ^^
If your using USPL you will need to update the HTC USB drivers as it will not detect the device, if you have flashed the hard SLP then you needed worry, it works fine, even in Windows 7, 32 and 64 bit
HSPL didn't work with my 32bit Vista, even not after updating the drivers
But that's Windows: Sometimes it works, most time it doesn't
Put HSPL from friends PC and than @ home just do upgrades via SD card
Thanks guys, some good info there, i'm liking windows 7 at the moment so will keep tryin to find a way to the HSPL, tried that friends option NikPraskaton but he has windows XP and is not detecting the phone anymore
Ive tried searching now for about 2 hours for a fix.
Ive just installed windows 7 x64 pro and i can not get it to work with my HD. It will not recognize it at all. Ive had various problems, always seems different.
Ive tried turning off the enable fast data. This changed the problem, but didnt fix it.
At the moment, i have that enabled and the problem from what i can tell is, in device manager Microsoft Windows Remote Adapter is not working.
If i disable fast data, i get a connecting to host message on my HD screen and nothing else really happens.
Ive tried updating the USB drivers, but that will not work, something to do with unsigned drivers.
Under mobile devices in device manager i get PocketPC USB Sync instead of the HTC usb Sync thing.
Is there a solution for this please?
With me it worked on windows 7x64 straight out of the box. I suggest re-installing win 7.
I'd have to agree, using Windows x64 Professional here and both my Touch HD and my partners work fine (I had to allow Windows to download an updated version of Windows Mobile Device Center first though).
I do not suggest reinstalling Win 7. Geez. Sorry, but that's using an axe to trim a toenail.
Try downloading and reinstall the x64 version of Windows Mobile Device Center. Make sure you get version 6.1. Do not download any driver updates meant for Vista - you don't need them. But this main file will be marked Vista - it includes you too.
Next, it's possible that when you first plugged in the blackstone, a driver install got canceled or didn't happen right. Use your hardware manager and look for any new generic devices or HID devices. You can try deleting the hardware from the list and asking device manager to look again.
MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER.
Good luck.
Installed windows 7 last week.... i mainly use this pc at home and at work i use XP.
Anyway just connected it now to my notebook and after some driver downloads from windows the phone works fine...
make sure u download the latest mobile device center.
I had the same with my Topaz and windows 7. The fix was to disable the windows firewall while syncing.
This solved my sync problems with Windows 7 ultimate x64
Open notepad
write the text : net localgroup Administrators LocalService /add
save the file as e.g. HTC.bat somewhere on your hard drive where you can find it
Locate with Windows Explorer the .Bat file you just edited
Rightclick on the bat fil
select "run as administrator"
restart your computer. Your HTCH Touch HD should connect without problems
Hi,
Can anyone please tell me why my Omnia II (i8000) is not detected by ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center? I'm tired of trying and very close to giving up hope.
Can you please help me with the issue?
First try on another computer. Then you know more and you can search this site.
I tried with 5 computers. Do I need more?
well i have the opposite case ... everytime a connect mine it detects a new phone .....
In win xp just a one time installation of activesync 4.5 then reboots afterwards then install pc studio that came with a cd or download the latest one.
i had this kind of problem with WMDC running in win 7 ultimate.
what i did was
1. install the pc studio sw (use compatibility mode as win vista sp1) then reboot
2. when u plug the O2 it will try to find the driver but will fail to install.
3. uninstall WMDC thru add/remove programs
4. when u go to dev mgr u will see I8000 with "Question Mark" meaning driver doesnt install properly( pretty much obvious..)
4. try to update the driver manually it says to search driver thru internet select that option if u miss it.. ur next option is to run windows update
5. win update will try to find the latest patch and driver update for ur system. (ur phone shuld be connected to pc at this moment) so that it will find the hardware update available for your pc.
6. go to "hardware option" on the windows update, if u see the "MIT USB Sync" thats the driver for your omnia 2, select that and install it right away..once finish reboot while phone are still connected.
7. if it doesnt find the hardware update on first run..reboot and try it again..( it took me several hrs before it finds the mit usb sync.. patience it s must here)
8. WMDC will run on startup automatically.
hope this will help..
and the bad part is Samsung did not make any driver/software for Windows 7
My i8000 works without a hitch on my Win7 system (x64 and x86). Check if your device's USB option is set to ActiveSyn or USB Mass Storage.

help with omnai 2 i8000
hi friends..
i bought an omnia 2 i8000 8gb 2 weeks back..i bought it from india..
i want to know weather i can upgrade my winmo 6.1 professional to winmo 6.5..
the shop told free upgrade is possible..but not available in india till now..
so i want to know is there a way to upgrade it from internet..
pda--I8000DDII3
CSC--I8000NUII3
these are the details in version..can anyone get me a solution..
i read from internet that i could go to samsung site of a country and upgrade it from that site if my phone was manufactured in that country..im not sure if thats right..
pls tell me from which place my phone was made..
and also is it possible for me to upgrade to winmo 6.5 from samsung site...
PHONE--I8000XXII4
Just to share ... Spent abt 6hrs figuring out why my omnia 2 would always hang when i needed to set it up for partnership in order to sync in WMDC (OS = Win7). Been searching wif different keywords in google and realised my problem is not common which convinces me that there is something funky with my set up that is preventing the sync.
Got lucky today ... did a wild google on "omnia 2 wmdc driver" ... and on 1 of the threads, discovered that it is important that the Windows in-built Windows Media Player had to be "installed", which i didnt do since i'd been using other media players. And voila ... issue resolved.
MS sucks! Especially when you get humiliated by such problems that seems so easily fixed. =D

okay so i cant find a solution to this one, if you can help me, id really apreciate it.
okay so im trying to connect my hd2 to my windows 7 laptop. whenever i connect the two. nothing happens except my phone starts charging!
I tried it on 4 computers, all didn't work
i did the "turn off faster sync thing, that didn't work
ii JUST got this usb cord, so its not broken or anything
i also hard reseted my phone a while back if that helps
thanks in advance
What OS are you running on your HD2?
Windows Mobile 6.5 requires Active Sync to be installed on your machine and should prompt you to do so the first time you connect via USB.
Android should be effortless by just selecting the USB connectivity from the drop down alert menu.
WP7 requires that you have installed the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center, which can be found by online search. You must download the appropriate x86 or x64 version, as is appropriate to your version of Win7.
Is there a scenario that I've missed?
Thank you for posting!!
my phone runs on windows 6.5.
do i download activesync to my phone or computer? i tried doing it on my computer but it gives me an error :
" This Program is blocked due to compatibility issues"
"previous versions of Active sync cannot be installed on windows vista or later."
i was trying to download Activesync 4.5

You are Windows 7 so require WMDC 6.1

Download: WMDC6.1 32bit
Download: WMDC6.1 64bit
hello!
i have a 64 bit

Hi!
If you're here, Windows 10 got in your way. Let me explain why.
You see, Windows 10, for some reason has an administrator permission... No, not that administrator permission. Because reasons, Windows 10 has TWO admin permissions! You are the standard one. The superior one is hidden, as a separate user! I don't get it either.
There's a command prompt that unlocks the primary admin account. A quick Google search will yield multiple guides on this matter.
Many, if not all your problems will be solved via this account. I spent 3 hours trying to install some drivers, before I was dumbstruck by the "God Account"... Install everything through that, and use your account normally!
I recommend hiding God in your PC after, since it has total power and some clever virus software might simply hijack it to install itself in the depths of your system, where no antivirus has permission to touch it...
God account on Windows 10 - Cause We hate You! Now, buy a subscription for solitaire!!
Windows 10 if f**k**g $hit.....
Previously I spent days trying to get drivers/ADB working. Impossible. I then used my spare laptop having Windows 8.1, effortless and no issue, the whole process of unlocking bootloader, flashing recovery and SuperSU was instant.
It was not possible with Windows 10 but with Windows 8.1 it was so easy and no issues with drivers or software. Windows 10 is cancer.

Well, maybe not cancer, but a really annoying co-worker, that keeps putting your stapler in Jell-O. Xp

It's possible that you guys just had previous drivers installed that were conflicting. I doubt it's Windows 10, as mine connected easily and quickly. Some phone drivers tend to stay in your system eventhough you might not clearly see them. I also used the 15 seconds ADB installer, for what it's worth. Maybe you guys should try that.

Even when trying the 15 second ADB installer, made no difference...
For this very reason, I upgraded my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 8.1, couldn't of been any happier.
I second the adb installer. It's easy, although the topic is more related to drivers that are outright rejected by the system. Sometimes, it's the fault of the certificate, or the lack of~. If there were old drivers, the device would've been recognised, and not treated as an "unknown device". I was livid when my Nexus 7 wouldn't work. XP It's basically a method of avoiding possible bugs or certificate issues. Again, you're correct in suggesting the adb installer! It takes the faff out of the job!

I dunno. I would start with a clean install of Windows 10, cause , to my surprise, it's different than the upgraded version! It's utter madness. The clean one is more stable, faster, less glitchy, AND DOESN'T BREAK MY WoL SETUP AFTER EVERY F...UPDATE!!!... I'm not mad... ?

I have a clean install of Win 10 also. Maybe that's why I didn't have connection/driver issues. Reason I mentioned old drivers being hidden was because that's exactly what happened to me with a Nexus 6 before doing a clean install. My computer wouldn't recognize it also, and it just kept showing unknown device. I had old Samsung and ZTE drivers still hiding in my system, and the only way I found them was when I used this Nexus tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
Hii to all having issues with windows and android..
One thing
I have already the fall creators update before it is even released ( Oktober 17 it will be official )
Love to use windows and usually do not have trouble with android and Windows
The thing is, if you need the extra administrative privilege you need to go under
Settings then
recovery then
advanced then
restart the system for advanced options
And then choose for some drivers like adb fastboot and other stuff.. choose some opitons
You will be given like options from 1 to 9 or 10..
then you press the number 7
Number 7 means you will remove the extra driver signature the windows is asking for every driver
After pressing 7 the system will reboot..
then you need to reinstall the adb fastboot drivers
Now it will give you a window with red color .. asking you.. do you want to install this driver without the signature that is usually required..
and then you click on yes..
from that point on you will allways have that driver installed and
working in the way it should or let me say in the way every driver works after you install it..
And yes it is trouble sometimes to get adb and other android stuff working on windows 10
couse it sometimes is the way that you have all the correct files and did all the correct steps
But the thing is it is not working couse windows 10 is in that point not letting you to do that thing
couse it things its harmfull for you system or sometimes you just need to put one setting off or on
and Voillaa everything is working..
So do not give up on things try to google out the solution by the error or you tube is having
often some good tutorials on what and how it needs to be done in windows 10
