Hello again. I am attempting to root my new dell streak 7, froyo 2.2.2 stock, wifi only device using gingerbreak. I was advised from another thread I posted to download gingerbreak using my computer then transfer the file to my Dell Streak 7, since my device would not download gingerbreak successfully. I have tried to do this but my Dell computer will not recognize my Streak. I am using a stock usb cable. When I plug it in the Windows Device Manager comes up and wants to search for drivers. I have allowed it, not allowed it and even told it not to search anymore. None of this has helped. Then my computer says there was a problem installing my device and it might not work properly. It still won't recognize my device as being plugged in at all, but my Streak does recognize that it has been plugged into the computer. USB debugging is on. All I want to do is get gingerbreak on my device so that I can root it and get rid of all the stock stuff that came with it originally. I have searched similar threads but they didnt have an answer or were not the exact thing I needed. Please help. Thank you in advance.
Your computer could not find the driver for the Streak. You need to go to Dell website and download the driver for you computer operating system. Here is the link:
http://support.dell.com/support/dow...dateid=-1&formatid=-1&source=-1&fileid=447160
After downloading the driver, unzip it to a directory in your pc. When you connect the Streak to the pc, windows will ask you for the driver. Make sure to enter the directory where you unzip the driver.

This is NOT true - If you're Dell Streak 7 has froyo 2.2.2 stock - it should recognize it automatically - just curious what version windows you're using...
Thanks! I am using win xp sp3. I really hope there is a fix because this is very frustrating. I did however get gingerbreak on the ds7 by dl'ing from the device while it was plugged in to my computer. Although i'm not sure if it is on the sd card or the device itself. It does show up on my device though. But I still need to hook up to computer for music xfer etc.
try dell's sync-up

No problem - for media transfer between your pc and your dell streak 7 - have you tried using Dell's SyncUP? You will need to download from this website to your pc and there should be an app SyncUP on your stock dell streak 7...

Have you tried the driver from Dell's link that I gave you? Yes, the computer should automatically recognize a device, but through my experience, nothing is perfect. That's why Dell posted the driver for people to download in case the computer did not recognize the Streak. In fact, here is Dell's description of this driver:
Set of USB drivers needed so Windows XP or Windows 7 can correctly identify the Streak & device when it is connected to a PC

/agree
My streak when stock did not recognize properly either with win 7 x64. Even the drivers in the folder for win7 and vista 64 wouldn't work. I think I wound up using the xp 64 drivers using compatibility mode.
Hope this helps!!

Man this is really getting me down. So I downloaded the file that you recommended from the link that you provided. After messing around for over an hour with the "dell download manager application," and about pulling my hair out over that worthless application. I finally just downloaded the file with my own browser (firefox 4.0). But it is a RAR file and does not give me the option to unzip it. I can pretty much download it to anyplace on my computer that I want but I downloaded it to the default which is my desktop. Then after running the device manager to install the ds7, my computer will not find the RAR file that I downloaded to the desktop. I have the option, as I said earlier, to download it into the existing dell drivers file that is on my computer but I actually have to put it in a file. There are several driver files listed there all starting with R and about 6 numbers after it, but I don't know which to put it in or if that is even what I should do. Suggestions?
After you have down'd the drivers from otmos's link on Sunday. Unzip the 16mb file to a suitable directory. Now when you install the drivers point the location to the Drivers folder in the directory that you unzipped ADB-Drivers.zip into and allow it to search for the correct file itself from there. Don't try to point to the individual sub directories.
Dell's SyncUP on it's own does not install the drivers.
Seriously? You have to go through hoops to get USB Mass Storage to work with the Dell Streak and Windows?
I just plug it in and tap the "Connect to computer" or whatever the screen is for starting mass storage. I rarely use it, but I did a few days ago to dump a few gigs of music over. Just worked in Linux..

..... he is referring to the adb drivers if im not mistaken ... that's for adb / fastboot This has nothing to do with mass storage mode.....

rar files are a type of compressed file, similar to zip, you need to use a program like WinRAR to extract them. Windows will not recognize the drivers that are compressed in the rar file. Once you uncompressed them into a folder on your desktop, do the device manager to install the ds7 like before, and direct it to find the drivers in that uncompressed folder.

Perhaps he's just over complicating it then if he can't get adb to work, just get it on the SD card and install it.
Thanks so much everyone, finally got it working. Had to install drivers for Nero mobile sync and the Nero mobile sync application to my computer. Now recognizes and has a gui for moving and transferring files back and forth.
Tried to thank everyone but only allowed 5 a day.
Thanks again.

For Linux and Mac the Android SDK drivers should work fine.
The standard Samsung USB driver that PDAnet had listed for the Samsung Moment worked for me as well, will give these new ones a try on my other system.
thank you
I added a link to this thread in the sticky
EDIT: Nevermind the n00b question. I was able to get the drivers installed and I am good to go.

have the same problem. i'm on 7, 32bit
did you enable USB debugging?
Gunnman from Galaxy S
yes of course. first thing I did after I rooted
I'm drunk so bear with me. go into device manager and browse for the driver manually ,include subdir. point to programfiles\samsung.
if that don't work use the 64bit drivers on 32bit windows. don't run setup just browse to the extracted dir from the unknown device in device manager. it worked for me at work. good night
Gunnman from Galaxy S
since i had issues w/ the 32bit driver exe, i extracted it and zipped it up incase others have the same issue.

Try both 32bit and 64 bit drivers. At work I have 32bit win7 and the 64bit drivers fixed it up. Dont run setup just go through device manager chosse the unknown device and point it to the 64bit driver directory and check include sundirs.
Try using correct drivers for your win version but turn the phone off, connect and then power up while connected....worked fine for me after messing with both lots of drivers first and no luck
Make sure you select "USB debugging" for ADB to work folks.
Where can I get the mac driver..i looked everywhere please help

Windows drivers issue
Have you tried mounting the drives. Same thing happened to me when you have it connected to the computer drop down the usb notification and mount. The your drives should be accessible.
So for whatever reason Windows 7 just doesn't like the dell streak 7 usb drivers. I have had the drivers fail on me. One day they will work just fine and the next it shows up in device manager as "unknown device". After spending hours upon hours looking for a fix to this I finally called dell and spoke to them. I was directed to different drivers to download. Here is what I did to make sure I could actually connect every time.
Although this is a simple process I am not responsible for any damage or issues caused by this process. I have a WIFI ONLY DS7 and have no way of knowing if this works for the DS7 carrier specific models.
Step 1) Visit support.dell.com/support/downloads
Step 2) It will give you three options:
Choose by Service Tag
Choose a Model < SELECT THIS ONE IF YOU DON'T HAVE DELL PC SYNC INSTALLED ON YOUR COMPUTER!
Choose from Your List
Step 3) Once you have dell pc sync installed on your computer download and install the file below:
http://www.multiupload.com/VMPU6QZUL7
Step 4) Upon successful install of the above file restart your computer.
Step 5) Turn your DS7 off and plug it into the pc. Power it on and wait for the computer to show that the drivers are installed.
On my pc I only got a usb symbol with a green dot. As long as your computer doesn't say "Unknown device" or something to that effect you are good. Your DS7 should now allow you to select usb connection.
Step 6) Go into device manager and select Streak7. Right-click and select update drivers and it will open a new window asking how do you want to search for driver software. DO THE FOLLOWING:
Browse my computer for driver software
Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Under model select Android usb and select next
Install drivers and your streak 7 will move from "other devices" to "Android USB devices" in the device manager.
**** I also noticed that when connecting to the computer it works better when you plug the usb end into the pc first and then connect the 32 pin connector into the DS7.****
Step 7) If you have multiple computers in your home like I do then you need to complete this process on those if you plan to connect your DS7 to them.
SIDE NOTE: I HAVE THE ANDROID SDK ALL UPDATED PACKAGES ON BOTH MY SYSTEMS. I KNOW THAT THERE IS A GOOGLE USB PACKAGE LISTED. SOME PEOPLE MAY HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS PROCESS AND NEED TO INSTALL THE ANDROID SDK FROM HERE >> http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html[/SIZE]
IF ANYBODY IS UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO AFTER READING THIS GUIDE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AND I WILL RESPOND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

In Win 7 in Fastboot Mode, it still recognizes the device as an Android ADB device but I can successfuly execute fastboot commands. The driver files being used are:
\Your SDK Install Path\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\i386
WdfCoInstaller01007.dll
WinUsbCoInstaller.dll

If you installed Dell Sync correctly and the Fastboot and ADB drivers correctly the your problem is driver related.... Do you not see a yellow exclamation in your device manager for you to update the driver?
You should probably be install the Android SDK with the Google USB drivers also

I believe you are trying to connect your Streak 7 to your computer so that you can transfer musics and files onto your Streak 7, right? If that is the case, Honeycomb does not support USB as mass disk device. You need to upgrade to Win 7 or use an app from the marketplace to do this.
Windows XP does not support MTP natively, you have to do a bunch of driver crap to get it to work.

You need the WMP11 runtimes (as that has MTP support).
Then you need the specific mtp driver for the S7, which is included in Fastboot+ADB.zip
It's much easier just to use an app and do a wireless transfer.
All HC and newer devices only officially support MTP
(at least that's what goog wants, new devices that dont support MTP are in the minority)
I believe the WMP11 runtimes are offered via windows update, the only thing you need to specifically download are the device specific mtp drivers.
(They're not even drivers per-se, you can force install a generic mtp driver and it'll work fine, but that's besides the point)

Yes,i was trying to connect my Streak 7 to computer that has windows XP professional,so that i can transfer musics and files onto Streak 7 honeycomb 3.2.
If i upgrade to Win 7 does the device show up in my computer ?
And if you say i need to use an app from the marketplace to do this. what is the App that i need to download on device ? and even if i download it on the device does that make the device recognizable on my computer on XP ?
Please, educate me as not always i have internet connection and would like to transfer files like music and books to the DS7 from a computer thats not on internet network.
Thanks

If you have Win 7, just plug the DS7 in and it will be recognized as an MTP device in Windows Explorer or the Devices and Printers folder.
Or you can use an app like Wifi File Explorer or File Expert to wirelessly transfer file to/from your computer and your DS7. You need to have a Wifi network. Consult instructions and support through these apps on how to use them.
Yes I was able to see the DS7 in my computer on windows 7,and was able to transfer musica and movies but,when i transfer books they get transferred but not visible on the device unless i open them a App Called "Quick Office" where it shows all the loaded files on DS7,any idea how to get them as different folder or see them seperately ,Also i saw the drivers.zip but did not extract it as did not feel the use of it !is there a specif use of it!

when I plug in the kindle a different message comes up
"some computers require a free file transfer utility to copy files between the computer and you kindle."
I have WMP the latest version
what do I need to get this working is there something I can download and install to override this issue.
Is your version of windows 7 a non us versions, because that's what I believe his issue is. Also your PC should have a windows 7 key on it so u can always reformat it, but you need a disk, and if you don't have one I can't really help you obtain one because I am not aware of if its illegal to DL stuff u already own off then internet and i would rather not get banned from this forum if it is. However if MTP is very important and u absolutely need it, go to ubuntu's website and download a desktop live CD, if you don't know your processor type juse 32 bit, but most modern PC's are 64 bit. Anyways if all goes well after burning it to a cd or making a bootable flash drive, u can boot into a live os and it should have mtp and u can transfer stuff. I on the other hand cannot do this because I use an older version of Ubuntu on a small partition and it is a pain to upgrade distros and I hate the new interface, but from what I have read the new versions of Ubuntu will work with your kindle. You can always install Linux along side windows but if you don't know a thing about resizing partitions, then i wouldn't suggest it because u might wipe your windows os and that would suck. BTW ubuntu is completely legal compared to what I was questioning above about windows. Yay Linux!!!

how do I check the status of my windows OS and I am running UBUNTU 12.04 alongside my windows OS
Im not that familar with Ubuntu as I would like to. I tried to sync my kindle to ubuntu, try to root my kindle and it was very complex
more than on windows
Funny, I find it easier to root on Ubuntu than on windows, no driver problems and then binary bash script works the same way. I am unfamiliar with "syncing" a kindle, especially on Ubuntu, I never sync mine I just use it like I would a flash drive, drag and drop files to it. Should work the name way on Ubuntu I think, I use an older version of Ubuntu that can't open it as an MTP device, so i just push and pull with adb. My only problem with helping you doing this on Ubuntu is your using 12.04, and I don't use the new ones because I don't like the new interface, i use gnome based desktop environment. So I can't exactly say where to click to open the kindle, but if I had to guess you can simply open a nautilus window from that bar on the left of the screen, any thing on it that's a folder will do, from there there should be a pane on the left if the window where the kindle would show up as a device u can click and view the contents of. I'm kinda basing this off what happens when I use a camera or iPod on mine, I assume kindle would show up the same way. If this is not the case you may have to install a package for an MTP browser, again not familiar with the interface and from what I remember trying it last time they took out the synaptic package manager by default, so I would have to tell u a command to run in a terminal to install it instead if need be. Tell me how it goes I will try to help as much as I can.
I kinda feel like I put too much information in this post...
Oh and as for telling your windows os, it may tell if you right click my computer( on start menu) and hit properties. Another way to throw a guess at it is ask yourself "Do you live in the USA?". Windows I think will say something about it in the properties of my computer though, if not you can try running winver from the run box it may display something useful. I don't have my PC booted up into windows right now so i can't verify this, and I kinda host a minecraft server on it in Linux most of the time so I don't shut it down unless I need to and its empty.

The answer to get a Kindle recognised by Widnows 7
plug kindle into pc
ignore unpleasant driver message
enter device manager and click the following:
update driver software
browse my computer for driver software
let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select 'portable device' from the list
select 'standard mtp device' from the list
select 'mtp usb device' from the list
click next"
This worked after hours of trying to get my Kindle to work in windows 10!
Thanks @Achilles1783
Hi,
I upgraded my Nokia 8 to Pie a while ago and now I had to reinstall windows.
Now when I connect the phone to my computer I get the CD drive that should contain the driver but when I try to open it I get a "Please insert a disk into CD-ROM drive F:".
So... how to get the driver from the phone in this case? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the CD device, tried reassigning a drive letter to no avail. This was working just fine prior the Pie update. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks!

What i tried was remove all usb root hubs from device manager on windows and then scan for hardware changes. Everything was back to normal. But since you just reinstalled windows, i don't know if it'll work. But no harm in trying, right?
Also, try searching for drivers from windows update. Check device manager to try and update the mtp drivers manually from windows update.
Or you could just connect it to some windows 7 pc, copy all drivers and install it in your windows 10 one.

Whatever I did, it showed up only as an empty drive. I ended up crawling the filesystem via `adb` and pulled the iso from the phone. It's still there, it just doesn't mount the contents. So I extracted it and put it in Gdrive for future reference. Whoever is interested, can find it here.

Try one more thing: enable developer options by clicking on the build no in about phone a number of times. Go to developer options>default usb configuration. Try meddling with those settings.
