NEWBIE GUIDE:How to flash and recover your p3600i in Windows Vista and 7

From personal experience, I found out that in windows vista and 7, you can't flash HardSPL and dead device. So I put this together from the dead trinityguides.info and other post in this forum. So follow this to the letter.
1a. If your p3600i is stuck in the HTC screen, put it in boot loader and plug it in.
1b. If its stuck in boot loader, just plug it in.
2. You need to download and extract the Windows Xp drivers to a memorable location (e.g. the desktop). You can download them here:
* Vista x32 drivers
* Vista x64 drivers
the 64-bit drivers are unsigned, so if you are using Vista x64 go to the bottom of this post to disable driver signing and then follow the rest of this guide
Run 'Windows Mobile Device Center', and click 'Connection Settings'.
Uncheck the 'Allow USB Connections' box, and select 'OK'.
Run 'Services' by opening the start menu and typing 'Services'
ensure the 'Windows Mobile-based connectivity' and Windows Mobile 2003-based connectivity' services are started. If they are not, click the service name and press the 'start' button on the top bar.
Image
Load 'Device Manager' by opening the Start menu and typing 'Device Manager'.
Expand the 'Mobile devices' section and right click the 'HTC USB Sync'
Select 'Update Driver Software'.
Click 'Browse my computer for driver software'.
Click 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'.
Click 'Have Disk' or "Browse".
Click 'Browse', and browse to the location where you extracted the ZIP file in the first step.
Vista x32 users double click 'wceusbsh.inf', Vista x64 users double click 'wceusbshx64.inf'
Select 'HTC USB Sync' from the list, and click 'Next'.
Wait while your driver is installed.
Run 'Task Manager' by clicking the Start Orb and typing 'taskmgr'. Then find the 'WMDC.EXE' item in the processes section, and click 'End Process'.
In 'Windows Mobile Device Center, re-enable the 'Allow USB connections' .
3a.If your device is bricked, download stock rom from htc.com NOT FROM A MIRROR IN RAPIDSHARE/MEDIAFIRE/4SHARED/MEGAUPLOAD etc... and flash it with no compatibility mode.
3b.To HardSPL: Run RUU and flash normally, but when you get to the JumpSPL bootloader, it will erroe 260. LOOK AT THE SCREEN ON YOUR PHONE, YOU MIGHT HAVE SECURITY PERMISSIONS AND NEED TO MANUALLY ALLOW THE PROGRAMS TO RUN.
KEEP YOUR PHONE ON THE BOOTLOADER SCREEN[/B][/B][/B], and unplug it from your computer. Exit the HardSPL program, RUN IT AGAIN, PLUG THE PHONE BACK IN, wait for HTC USB Sync to install and FLASH THE PHONE AGAIN WITH HARDSPL.
To install driver in vista/7 x64
1. Start -> type gpedit.msc right click in the result gpedit.msc and select run as administrator. Select yes in the UAC prompt if you keep it enabled.
2. Navigate to User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Driver Installation.
3. Enable the "Code signing for drivers" and then choose "Ignore".
4. Close gpedit.msc.
Hope this guide help you out there.

[Q] How to setup ADB driver for Windows 8?

Has anyone been able to set up ADB drivers for Kindle Fire HD 7 for windows 8?
Kindle was rooted but when i switched to windows 8 i got some random 7.2.1 user update that i thought i had already gotten and now root is gone and i cant seem to get ADB driver to install, any ideas?

I installed the same way as I did on my Windows 7 box. Just follow the instructions posted here: https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/connect-adb.html

I am also trying to get the adb drivers installed, i used the guide you said to use and still it wont allow me to install the driver, just says the driver installation did not complete... =\ 64 bit windows 8 pro

Try this if you have not already.
1. Connect your Kindle Fire to your computer's USB port using the USB cable.
2. From the Start menu, right-click Computer and select Manage.
3. In the left pane, under Computer Management, expand System Tools, and click Device Manager.
4. In the right pane, locate and expand Other devices.
5. Right-click the device name Kindle and click Properties.
6. In the Kindle Properties window, on the Driver tab, click Uninstall, then Confirm, and then unplug your device from your computer.
7. Then run the kindle fire adb drivers again.
8. Then plug in your kindle.
9. To confirm the device has been installed, from Start, click Control Panel, and then select Device Manager. In Device Manager, under Kindle Fire, the device will be included as Android Composite ADB Interface.

I did the above...it looks like its going to install but then i get the message 'install failed' during the setup....

I got Win 8 64bit. Delete the "signed_" part of "signed_kindlefirewinusba64/x86" files you'll be able to install it manually from the device manager.
However I still wasn't able to root my KF2 but that seems to be a different issue since the device is recognized as adb device in the device manager.

I've already got 2 versions of those files in the install directory 2 with the 'signed_' and 2 without?

Signed Drivers
Hey I installed the drivers through this:
1.Use the windowskey +I keyboard shortcut to bring the Chrams and click Change PC settings.
2.Navigate to General and under Advanced Startup, click Restart Now.
3.Now Windows 8 will restart in the advanced menu options, click on Troubleshoot.
4.Click on Advanced options.
5.Next, click the Startup Settings option from the menu.
6.The Startup Settings. From this page simply click Restart.
7.Now Windows 8 will reboot, but instead of going to the Desktop it will start in the Startup Settings page, from here hit F7 or the number 7. Then Windows will boot in a mode that will allow you to install unsigned device drivers in the operating system.
After this just install the drivers and your Kindle will connect with ADB
Hope that helps

[Tutorial] Install fastboot/adb drivers in Winodws 8

So after going through this headache of not being able to fastboot either of my Nexus devices (GNex and N7) I have found the solution to my problems and I am sharing it with you guys.
Windows 8 forces drivers to be digitally signed and checks that signature with it's known driver signatures at home. This is a problem if you are trying to install and use something like fastboot/adb which Redmond may not have drivers for.
I was personally trying to install this as I did before on Windows 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875 and in order to install this we need to "Disable driver signature enforcement"
Steps to be taken:
1.) Bring up Charms by mousing over to the right of the screen
2.) Go to Settings
3.) Change PC Settings
4.) General
5.) Scroll down to Advanced Startup > Restart Now
6.) Trouble shoot
7.) Advanced options
8.) Windows startup options
9.) Restart
10.) Choose F7 (I believe) or click on "Disable driver signature enforcement"
11.) Reboot
Install the relevant driver (In my case Universal driver) under Device Management
This allowed me to install the Universal driver for both my Nexus devices. Anyway, hope it helps ya'll.
(Mods if posted before feel free to delete/merge/whatever.)

Windows 8 - ADB Driver - FIX

Hi!
I had quite alot of trouble finding a way to sideload Android 4.2 to my Nexus 7 using Windows 8. It seems as if alot of folks have trouble with this! I tried many guides, with no luck. I tried my own way, and this worked for me!
So here is my guide!
1. Download ASUS USB Driver here: asus dot com / Tablet / Nexus / Nexus_7 / #download (Select OS: Other. Then select USB. Download Zip.)
2. Extract Zip to a folder you easily can find. You need this in step 7.
3. Reboot to bootloader. (Power down. Power up while holding VolDn. Click VolUp twice. Press Pwr. Enter bootloader.)
4. Enter Device Manager. (Press WinButton+Q. Select programs. Type Device Manager.)
5. In that list, if your Nexus doesn't work with ADB, it show a "Nexus" with a yellow sign on it. If not, unplug your device and plug it in again.
6. Double click the "Nexus". Select the Driver Tab. Select update driver. Select "Browse my computer for driver"
7. Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
8. Select "Have disk"
9. Browse to folder where you extracted drivers from ASUS. Select "android_winusb" Click next. It should say something about compatability. Click yes.
10. Select "Android Bootloader Interface". Install.
11. All done!
Try sideloading your update, or do whatever you like. ADB should work now.
Please reply if this works for you, or if it doesn't.

Did anyone get this to work? I'm very curious.. =)

Thanks for this , I had days of faffing around with win 8 in the end it started working no idea why, still get Fastboot errors sometimes. Going to give these a try and see if it solves the fastboot issue as well.
