hi,
i have an intel windows 8.1 tablet called storex wind'tab8 that had the system crashed and couldn't boot up no more, so i had to reinstall windows with an iso image, i managed to get all the needed drivers except the touch one, anybody with that driver located in the drivestore folder ''C:/windows/system32/drivestore'' or a recovery image it will be appreciated.
thanks.
Try to use the program "DriverIdentifier", you can download it from the internet. After the scan of your computer it will show the result on a webpage and then you click on "upgrade" near the hardware where you can't find the drivers.
If asks you to registrer, just put a random name and a random email with the ending "@live.it" and register. Then click on download "from manufacter" if it ask you.
Tell me if this works.

So... I've somehow screwed up recovery, and now adb won't do anything... it connects (adb devices shows my serial#)...
Im tired of dianosing it, I just want to use the RUU and flash back to factory, and re-root.
Problem is, with the lack of modding around here... there's no sticky or link. It was somewhat difficult to find info on flashing back to factory status. Searching here, AndroidForums, and google.
The exe I downloaded starts to go through installshield and then does nothing. (the filename is RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_1.29.651.1_signed_release.exe)
My computer is XP Home
what am I doing wrong?
That's the right file. So you run it, and you see installshield come up but then it never opens the window to walk you through starting your actual restore? Sounds like you have an issue with your computer too then.
check your drivers, reinstall if necessary.
if no go, barrow a computer and try it from there. I've found WinXP to be the easiest system to mod the Hero from (prolly because of my comfort with command line interface)

I can second this advice. I tried to run the .exe from a Win7 machine unsuccessfully. It would partially initiate the recovery process but then close itself after trying to detect the phone. In WinXP, the process was successful on the first attempt. If you don't have access to an XP machine, perhaps try starting the .exe as XP compatibility mode? You can right-click on the file and go to Properties to find those options.
This is a XP machine...
I can run adb devices and see the phone... and in fastboot usb the phone does show up device manager.
3. INSTALL DRIVERS (Windows only)
Your Windows PC will show a notification that a device “APX” has been detected. If you get a
“Found new hardware” dialog box asking where to install drivers from - choose “list or specific
location”. If you don't get this dialog, open the Device Manager via System in the Control
Panel, find and double-click the “APX” device, and click the update driver button.
Select the “usbpcdriver” folder inside the extracted Adam Recovery Kit as the driver location.
You may receive a warning that the driver is not certified or signed by Windows – choose to
install it anyway.
I'm trying to install the new update, but when i get to this portion of the instructions, I cannot for the life of me get the computer on Windows XP to recognize my device as a APX file. It's not even an option in the control panel in add new hardware. The computer keeps trying to recognize it as nvida harmony device
i saw this webpage about it and it directed me to a nvida webpage and i have absolutely no idea which one to install or whatso...

help :X!
Not sure if this will help, but here is some info on recovering Adam. It mentions APX...
http://www.notioninkhacks.com/forum...px&sid=91f02de37f2a51935594d9a48f299488#p2278
Also check out the GTAB forums, as the problems will probably be similar. I think Windows 64-bit and APX drivers may not play nice, for example.
NVM....i read the stupid instructions wrong. it's power button and VOLUME DOWN ........grrrrrrrrrr
Help would be great. I have a dell inspiron laptop (not sure exactly what model it is) and I made the mistake of downloading windows 8 consumer preview when it first came out and installing it directly on the laptop rather than dualboot or usb stick. It worked fine for a couple of days and then out of nowhere it wouldn't boot up. When I press the power button the screen will light up and the w8 logo will appear but it won't go past that part. Sometimes It will say auto repairing itself but I've left it on for two days to see if it would fix itself but It didn't. Is there a way to get in safe mode to atleast re install the iso file? I've been without a laptop for a couple of months already and can't afford to buy a new one!

so am I correct in thinking you have no installation media at all for windows? any version?
If so do you have access to another PC because to be honest, your probably going to need it
I assume you have tried hitting F8 on boot to get to the boot menu and that didn't work either?
in terms of your hardware its cool, that's not the issue, the software is, having an install disk would have made things a lot easier....
Yes I have access to another pc and no I don't have any available. I downloaded a newer version of the win8 in ISO format and put it on a dvd disc and tried installing it through the f12 key right when you boot up. The disc drive started running but nothing happened afterwards. Windows recently released a new version of win8. Should I download that one and try it again the same way I tried the first time?

ok, you hit F12 to get in to the boot menu is that correct? then you selected the DVD drive and it made some noises but did nothing?
Ok, Boot menus can be troublesome
What I suggest is go in to the BIOS and change the boot order to DVD first THEN HDD, if that doesn't work then take the HDD out of the boot order altogether, you will need to turn it back on again though to complete the setup
also, I want you to see if the DVD boots on another computer, the first ISO I downloaded was corrupted and whilst mine booted it would always fail to install, re downloaded it and no problems at all
Its probably worth downloading the RP ISO anyway, the previous version the CP, was mass tested in the open market so any issues with installing wouldn't have been worked out in the CP, hopefully the RP would have got most of them,
Hi, i did what you recommended and it worked fine until the install process! It took me to the install screen and i pressed install. Afterwards it gave me the option of automatically doing the install or choosing custom options only. I choose the automatic and it told me that i had to remove the disc and restart the computer and re inster the disc for it to continue! The problem is that everytime i do that it wants to boot up the original way where it wouldnt work! Any ideas. Should i choose the custom option instead ( but i dont know what to choose if i do it that way)??!! Thanks for your help
Reload and options

HI!
Yes, you are right.
Boot to the install media, at the option to do custom, select custom.
When the screen loads showing the partitions (drives)
-Click advanced on the bottom right
-highlight each partition and delete them (this will loose all data saved there but unless you have a boot disk or usb or remove the drive from the laptop, the data is usless anyway)
At this point you can click continue, or next Windows setup will auto create the partitions it needs and unpack the files, then finish install.
If you get any issues with files missing or media is corrupt from the ISO, you will need to down load it again, use the MS download manager or some manager to ensure the download is good and the file CRC matches what they have on the download site. I have seen this a lot lately so don't waste your time restarting the install if it has an error while coping files, just get a new download.
I hope this Helps.

This does resemble a copy error, or even a hard disk/hard disk controller problem.
I have a desktop computer that will no longer boot up from any IDE devices (even if their properly formatted, it also includes any optical medium), Trying to boot from them results in a "DISK NOT BOOTABLE" (something around that, Acer's boot errors are different from the usual ones.
Anyway, back on track, before all that happened, I had trouble booting the computer from the IDE HDDs, sometimes it would boot and sometimes it stuck at the Windows 7 loading screen till it said a file was corrupt or missing, or it BSOD'd.
I also recommend re-downloading and trying the install again, in extreme cases, if you have another HDD to test, try installing it on a different HDD. If that works, the problem could be your hard disk (or something more nefarious, who knows ^_^
Hi, where can I find the correct drivers for Yotaphone 2? I tried the driver that comes with the flasher tool, but somehow it does not install (yes, I right-clicked on the INF file and selected Install, but nothing happened after that)
Thanks in advance for the help!
Right clicking the INF file and selecting install most of the time doesn't yield any results on screen. It is a silent install. You can check if they are installed by comparing the size of the installed androidusb.sys in C:\Windows\System32\drivers with the size in the AMD64 and i386 folders in the yotaflasher folder. It is either 31kb (AMD64) or 26kb (i386).
Drivers
Thanks for the reply.
I checked the system folder on my PC, and the drivers were not installed. Somehow clicking on "Install" for the INF file does nothing
Is there some other way to install the drivers? Can I simply copy the driver files to the system folder
Drivers
Hi, does anyone have a suggestion to install the drivers? I am on Windows 10

You can try installing the default Google drivers. You can find everything you need in this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
You use device manager to install " legacy drivers" and "have disk" , it is mentioned several times here including the one above.
Drivers
Hi, I really appreciate the replies and patience with this
I already tried that but I get the message:
The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the device contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems
What do I need to do?
These worked for me:

Thanks, sonof.
I tried the installer from the link you gave.
Somehow it is not showing any detected device at all.
How do I get it to detect my phone in order to install the driver?
Did you solve it? I have the same problem, can't see the device...
Hi all,
So I'll cut right to the chase if I may, don't want to waste your time and I appreciate the help.
I trying to root my 'nVidia Shield Android TV Pro 500GB
The problem:
Trying to install fastboot drivers in order to unlock the bootloader.
Steps & Solutions I tried:
After booting the nVidia Shield into bootloader, when connecting it to my Windows 10 64bit PC , I get a yellow explanation mark in the Device manager.
After getting it, I :
1. Right click on it
2. Choose update driver
3. Browse my computer for driver software
4. Choose 'browse'
5. Select the folder SHIELD_Family_WHQL_USB_driver_201801\SHIELD that contains the .inf file
After doing all of that, when pressing next to install I get a message "The best drivers for your device are already installed", which after nothing changes and fastboot is still not recognized.
Also Tried:
1. In the Browse for drivers window
2. Choose Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer
3. Choose Have a disk
4. Browse to the .inf file
5. When pressing next to install I get a message: The folder specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device (The full message can be found in the screenshots attached)
I tried rebooting in driver signing disabled, didn't help.
I have already searched everywhere for the answer, including:
1.The original NVidia Shield Zone
Shield Android TV and Tablet Resource Center
root tutorial
2. https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/help/fastboot-drivers-t3562822
3. https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/help/properly-install-android-fastboot-t3312300
and more... No luck
I'll attach screenshots to show how it looks on my side.
Thanks

For me, the problem was the USB Port...
Hi henengel, I'm facing the same issue and unable to resolve this. I've tried all the usb ports but still facing same issue.
