[Q] XP won't connect to my G1. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got a G1 off of evilbay.
When I connect it to the PC with the usb lead XP says 'device not recognised'.
Any idea whats going wrong and how to fix it?

which winxp version are you using? i never managed to connect my g1 to xp64...
you might need to manually install the usb drivers which come with the android sdk

XP32, SP3.
Got a link for the drivers?

That's a GOOD thing.... protect a good phone from a HORRIBLE virus.
Try linux. No weird drivers needed and no risk of damage.

Can't go on to linux full time, it doesn't support the games I play.
And the XP emulators are not a solution either, unless they have finally started to support 3D graphics?
If that is the only solution maybe I should have gone for a blackberry after all.
Will it work with the Ubuntu live CD?
Or the run from USB drive under XP version?

Make sure you have a good, thick USB cable. My G1 doesn't want to work with the first two USB cables I tried.

That was the first thing I thought of
Tried all 7 of mine, all react the same.
Also tried the project machine, initially found it, then after about 10 seconds came up with the unrecognised device

Are you trying to mount the SD card or use adb/fastboot?

Am trying to get to the SD card.
Found my microSD card reader so can copy stuff over that way now.
Would be nice to connect properly tho.
It's away for a week now, being fixed and rooted
It is my humble opinion that my local phone guy is a genius (and well into android).

Livecd is fine.
Dualboot is better.
Clear the virus is best.
Games? Games are for kids. Hacking is more fun.

Excuse the retards, they run rampant around these parts
Find attached all the drivers you will need, any further help just ask me
And here is a link to get the sdk if you want it...

Unable to use N1 with Windows 7 64 Bit

I tried to do a search for this, and nothing came up for me. I recently purchased a new Laptop, running Windows 7 64 bit. My Nexus One will not install any of the drivers on such. I have downloaded the drivers from the Android Development, yet I am unable to actually use my Nexus One for ADB or for even Disk Mode. It keeps stating it is unable to install the drivers. I haven't ever tried to use my N1 with any 64 bit OS before this (except linux and mac, but that just seems to work) and my 32 bit OS's seem to work perfectly fine. Anyone else having this issue? Or possible solution?
I had the same problem when i went to root mine. I tried every tweak and hack and fix an update nothing worked.. but send someone at android community.com had it..
If you can wait a few hours i will post it when i get home..
Please don't even think of putting windows mobile on your nexus one. That is against Android law!
Sent from my CM6 Nexus One using XDA App
Keep trying and make sure you install the correct drivers. Try from another download source and don't let windows install the defaults.

I had the same problem. After hours trying things and searching for solutions in Google, finally MY solution was activate the USB Debug Mode
I hope this works for you too!

Same with me. USB Debug mode fixed it.
Im on Windows 7 x64 Pro. I havent had any problems getting ADB to work with my machine. I downloaded the SDK from the website and ran the sdk setup.exe. It will fail the first time, you have to close it and go to settings and FORCE HTTPS. once that is done. reopen it and reject everything except Device Drivers. This will download the drivers. When I connect my phone with debug mode on windows auto picks up the drivers and installs it.
I got it running on my machine ..windows64bit .. took a lil while but like someone said but it can be done ..or if all else fails install droid explorer ..and use its sdk directory
I had the same problem. In my case it was because I was plugging it into a usb port that was built into a card reader in my tower. As it turned out the usb port was not putting out enough power, so I decided to try some ports that are on the bottom of my case and the problem went away.
Each usb hub has to share power, so if you have several usb devices that pull some juice workin on the same hub you can try to get onto another hub via another port.
Win7 64 bit
I had the same problem. For me the solution was to use a legacy/older USB port on my laptop and not a highspeed one.
i am having this issue as well.
i have looked everywhere, and tried many solutions. i am lost.
my windows 7 32bit laptop sees the N1 is connected but cannot install or even find any drivers for it. i have USB debugging mode checked. i have tried ADK, using the USB drivers it provides, no luck there.
my N1 isn't rooted yet, and i'd like to trick it out. but i have to get access to it first. any help y'all can provide would be amazing.
it may be possible this is a windows 7 issue, with drivers and such. but i've been looking around for a while and can't find a solution anywhere.

Problem connecting to USB

Recently I got a Kyocera Sanyo Zio from Cricket. I updated to 2.2 Froyo, and I was having moderately decent fun with it. I wanted to get Netflix on my phone, so I researched and found a way to do it through the SDK Manager or however you say it.
Problem is, I installed the drivers for the Zio from the website itself, and when I plug in the USB cable, it says "The driver is not intended for this platform." I have Windows Vista on my computer, and everywhere I've looked I can't seem to find a solution. I just want to be able to connect my phone to the computer so I can get Netflix amongst other interesting apps I can't find in the marketplace.
I've been trying for days looking for a solution and it's given me a headache...I'd really appreciate some help, if any is given, and I thank you in advance.
Windows 7 32 or 64 bit drivers.
http://www.kyocera-wireless.com/support/phone_drivers.htm
Find your system. Install the drivers for it.
I have windows vista...I already installed those drivers and it says what I wrote before, "Driver not intended for this platform." If those are for windows 7, then they wouldn't be compatible with vista, right?
EDIT: After realizing that the version previously shown was not compatible with my system, I made another search for a driver compatible with Windows Vista. Found it, connected my phone, so I guess this thread is pointless now :/ But thank sinisin for making me realize that those drivers were for windows 7.

[Q] Streak 7-USB driver for vista/XP Help

Hey Folks, I am a noob and stuck. I just got wifey the Dell Streak 7 on black friday special and being that its running Honeycomb, there is no USB driver. I called "Dell" which was a joke and after talking to several people I was told that the drivers wont be out there for several weeks.. (WTF).. I have gone through most of the forums for info but stuck.
I have a laptop running Vista, and my work computer that is running XP and need direction as too what I need to download to get the show on the road. I just want a way for me to access the tablet or SDcard through the USB cord.
I keep seeing references to ADB, and laslow site but those posts are referencing to those running Windows 7, or am I wrong. Any and all help for this lost noob would be gr8.

Ok if you bought it new with Honeycomb on it then you bought the wifi version I assume. Anyway, all Honeycomb devices switched protocols, they are no longer USB Mass Storage devices, they are recognized and media players, so you should see a Portable Media Devide under My Computer if you have the latest version of Windows Media Player on your laptop...
OK, THAT being said, in my personal opinion it's the worst decision Google could've ever made. SO what I do is install a little app called Samba File Sharing, which allows you to connect to the 7 as a network device and have access to it's SD contents just like any other device connect to your computer.
Hope this helps. You have to set up a few parameters like network name and workgroup and such but it only takes about 1 minute and well worth the trouble

Thank you for that tip.
Some devices require MTP, the s7 in this case isnt one of them. The s10 is though.
It's up to the rom maker to decide which one to use to use either MTP or USBMSD, depending on how the internal memory is organized.
Regardless MTP allows you to simultaniously access the device on a pc while using it on the device itself. With USBMSD you can only use it on one or the other.
The S10 has /sdcard as a symlink to /data/media, so you simply cant mount it or you'd unmount the entire /data partition (which would be very bad). The galaxy nexus is the same way, hence it requiring MTP mode.
The S7 has /sdcard as a seperate partition, I'm guessing mainly for the ability to simultaniously access it.
Fastboot+ADB.zip has every driver for every dell device.

[Q] windows will not recognize touchpad

I am not sure when this started. I have used windows to install cymod several times but i went to download a update and install it and my computer will not recognize the touchpad. it says the device driver was not installed properly
i have tried on two different units.
one has web os only and the other has android
it goes through the steps of looking for the device and then nothing.
i get a tone on the touchpad and then nothing on the computer
I do have the correct setting in the storage settings so i have no idea what to do
did you run novacom again?

It sounds like driver problem to me. Search for HP touchpad driver and download and install the latest version you find, that should do it.. I'm assuming you have the MTP box checked in storage > settings > USB computer connection. Also, reboot both the tablet and the computer after installing the new driver.
Good luck.
I have two different devices one only has web os and the other has android.
on the android I have the MTp checked and have accessed it in the past but i upgraded to windows 8
that being said i had the same issue with windows 7 i just thought a fresh install would fix the issue and it has not
I have downloaded what i thought was teh latest drivers.
I have installed novacom
and rebooted my system.
and I get the same error message Windows does not recognize the device.
i get the connected tone on my computer but I don't get any response on the touchpads
did you put the tablet in usb mode?
i did on the android not on touchpad forgot how to honestly

In webos when you plug in the USB it will come up with a prompt. Remember to safely eject before disconnecting.

it doesn't do anything when i plug in the usb. i get the tone on the computer but nothing on the touch-pad at all
i ried through the usb ports on the computer and the ones on the case just to be sure

Try using a different USB lead and plugging into different USB sockets on your PC sometimes I find my PC will recognize it with one socket but not another same thing occasionally happens with my USB sticks. Otherwise I would suggest trying a different PC if you still have a problem that would suggest a fault with the USB socket on your touchpad which I have had to have replaced once.
Fingers crossed that isn't your problem.

This will let TP be recognized on the PC
"If you want to transfer files back and forth from the CM9 touchpad you might have difficulty figuring out how exactly to do it.Here's how you pull it off:
First, tap on your app drawer in the top right of the screen (the little checkerboard). Now, select the "settings" icon.
Now tap on storage on the left-hand pane.
Finally, the tricky part - tap on the 3 squares at the VERY top right of your screen. It will bring down a little drop-down menu for USB computer connection. Tap it and put a checkmark in the "Media Device MTP" box.
Now you can plug your touchpad into the computer at will and transfer files back and forth from it. Easy as pie, I'm not sure why this isn't activated by default, but it's a simple fix if you know what to do."
Sorry I copied this from XDA a couple of weeks ago, so I can not take credit for this but it works great
that is already done on my android, and the touch-pad should auto connect. but neither are it says device not recognized

Did you check my second suggestion/try it on another PC to find out whether you have a faulty USB socket on your Touchpad as they can go wrong?
yes i did and i tried 4 usb ports, but that would be rather unusual for it to go bad on two devices right?

i also just tried it on my galaxy s3 using a usb port and it gave me the same unknown device error
im not sure i read that you put TP into usb mode from webos..if not, google the how to.. really simple..
also, install the novacom again.. iirc, it has the drivers too
to me, this screams missing drivers for both devices.
it wouldnt hurt to go to youtube and watch some reverendkjr vids

Novacom shouldn't make a difference, I have just installed windows 8 on my laptop and haven't installed anything yet , just plugged in the Touchpad and it was recognized straight away
Sounds like either windows is messed up or the USB connector of the Touchpad has gone .
same error on TP + his galaxy??
dam the luck..busted ports on both devices at the same time..
right after a fresh format of windows ; what a coinkadink
if on your very longest shot that win needs new drivers, the palm / novacom etc
process installs them and TP will get recognized and picked up..
he said he does not know how to root his TP to put into usb mode..
i know from recent experience that even when android is in mtp mode, my PC would not connect play w/ it until i had new drivers..
same experience w/ my new nexus 7 during the process of rooting it..

Ok lets get a few things right
I do know how to root my device I did it a while ago and honestly haven't done it in a while so I am rusty
but that being said if you cant access the device at all even in usb mode then you cant root.
And yes now my galaxy s3 wont recognize either.
every time i try it tells me that there was a device error and windows doesn't recognize the device.
i formatted the cpu again and put windows 7 and no help
I have tried two diffrent touchpads one android and one web os
and my phone
to get things right you have to start at the beginning. Windows will not recognize TP w/o the drivers first. It's obvious you have been avoiding that step. you need to go back and do the whole nova com thing to install them before you attach TP to it.. look at the you tube videos. you will be finished in a few minutes. .

Drivers and charging questions

Hi guys, 2 part question for yas!
1) I've just built my new pc and after years of putting it off, went with Windows 8.1 however, Windows doesn't appear to recognise my xperia z and drivers down right refuse to install (even tried installing em via flashtool) so, how do i install em?
2) this might be related to the above problem, but my new pc doesn't charge my phone from the usbs, it recognises something is their and my phone goes into debug mode, usbs and all that lovely stuff works fine in em
Notes : I'm very tech savvy so fire away! Just never been bothered until now to learn windows 8.1 haha!
Phone works fine and charges everywhere else (even in my works i7 machine (also running 8.1 which is weird!)
Cheers guys
