[Q] Windows 8 Drivers? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to flash my broken GALAXY Tab since my ASUS TF101 got run over by a School Bus...
However, the drivers don't work in Windows 8 RTM... Even if you set compatibility mode to Win7, the installer pops up incompatible OS Version...
Can anybody help me?

I am not an expert but I have read that people like you who are having problems like this have installed windows-xp in a virtual box setup in their win-7 or 8 computers and flashed their Tabs.
Give a try.

Well I don't have Windows XP to install in a virtual machine...
And I already tried to flash it on my mom's Win7 computer and now it won't even turn on.

Well we would need more info regarding this if you expect any help. Did you use odin? What error did you get? Did you pull plug early? Did battery run out? Can you go into recovery? Can you go into download mode?
Plenty of topics already on this so you would be better of going reading them, plenty of info and answers for you already about "wont turn on" subject so no need for us to just repeat them all.

The Nexus One USB Issue..

After hours of headache I am still unable to test my app on the nexus one device... mainly because my 64 bit Vista cannot find a device driver for the usb.
1. I have gone tried the developer.android instruction, which ofcourse does not work.
2.I have also gone tried the idea posted in a thread in this forum <mods wont allow me to post link> without success mainly because the cmd says "boot configuration data store cannot be opened. access is denied."
3. I went over Install and run USBDeview<mods wont allow me to post link> , but it wont work either, USBDView cannot uninstall in step 5 of the blog.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please if someone has installed the USB Driver for nexus one in a Windows Vista x64 help me out.. i have so many apps on the emulator which I want to try on the new device !!
Is their any other way I can port my app from the emulator and try it on the device? Thanks in advance
Please do not post non-dev related threads in the dev section... yeah, i think u thot this was a dev question since u are talking abt porting an app, but the question is really not dev related... this shud go in Q&A... mods please move!!
In any case, I've installed the N1 driver in Windows 7 x64 without any problem, and since the driver is the same for Vista & 7 x64, I don't think it shud be a problem...
I simply downloaded the drivers via the SDK setup... plugged in the phone and manually installed the driver via device manager... worked like a charm!!
+1 for the section and also for it working on Win 7 pro x64 for me.
+1 on posting in the proper section. I also have it working on win 7 x64.
As a side note, people who think the word 'should' is spelled 'shud' should not be correcting people.

Here you go - USB Driver that worked fine with Vista 64 bit - found on this very site. Install the driver and just enable USB debugging.

[Q] MTP USB Device won't install on Windows

When I connect my Galaxy S to my PC it starts to install the drivers.
The driver consist of 3 parts, but the last one, the MTP USB device, fails to install. I tried restarting my pc after installing Kies and also tried alternate drivers for Windows 7 x64.
When I connect my phone in Kies mode I get an error saying:
FsUsbService64
Service Initiali Failed
(screenshot attached)
Anyone familiar with this problem and/or it's solution?

All I know is that this usb driver package helped me and my gf either, without this pack I got the same error like you did, and since then everything works properly. If this package cant help you then I have to admit this is beyond my knowledge.
Just found our that i left my usb cable at work
Thanks again for your suggestion. I will try this after the weekend.

Some more info.
The last one is from Event Viewer, where it claims that this version of Windows does not support Windows Portable Device drivers.
What a bunch of bollox, my HTC HD2 synced just fine. Must be Samsung crappy driver I guess.
And yeah, I got v 4.5 of windows installer.
update: after lots of googling, I've solved the issue.
re-installed Windows Mediaplayer 11 !

huh?.. mediaplayer? wierd solution ..
I had this issue too, on my moms pc.
I installed kies befor plugging my phone to the pc, it worked perfectly then, installed the drivers and all. could not see if you had tried that. so its worth a shot
another thing to keep in mind
open TASK Manager in Windows
and make sure ADB.EXE is not running
if ADB.exe is there just end task it
when ADB.exe is left in memory, it locks up the USB connection with the phone, and Kies goes into dumb mode

Not really, WMP 10 is the one responsible for the stock MTP driver.
My old computer worked fine with kies, but this new 64 bit one just wont insall the mtp driver, even if i try manually.
Just a quick note on what I discovered last night when trying to get my SGS connected.
Bluetoothe needs to be off
It has to be using the stock Home screen I was as ever using LauncherPro. As soon as I switched back to stock it connected.

try what I did, re-install WMP 10 (or 11)
I don't know if this is obvious or not... but if your running a downloaded Launcher such as Launcher Pro... make sure you revert back to the stock launcher when trying to connect to KIES. This has been my problem until I stumbled across it last week.

Soft/Hard Brick Tab P1000 (Help!)

Hi Guys,
So basically I have a P1000 in my hands. I was asked if I could upgrade it to gingerbread since it was running a slow froyo ROM from a Portuguese provider.
The thing is, since the beginning that I don't have access to ODIN. I can go into download mode but the tablet is not recognized in both windows ( USB Not Recognized - Unknown Device ) and linux ( device descriptor read/64, error -110 ).
Since I wasn't able to get in ODIN I used MobileODIN. I was able to flash gingerbread and I was able to boot but something went wrong because on boot and recovery I had colored lines. This was probably a bootloader issue since MobileOdin doesn't flash it.
After it I made the biggest error, I flashed thru MobileOdin the Overcome Kernel. The flash it self went fine and it was booting after but the big problem for me was that it changed RFS to EXT4, changing the partitions it self leaving me locked to that ROM since MobileOdin doesn't partition.
I didn't realized the impact of the kernel at the time and I basically killed the TAB when I tried to go back to froyo using again MobileOdin. It flashed the kernel but then it wasn't able to boot into recovery and the Tab was freezed in "Galaxy Tab" screen.
The thing is, I JUST NEED DOWNLOAD MODE!!! I'm able to get into it but I can't get a way to get recognized by the PC.
The cable it self is working since it worked with ADB,etc in the ROM.
I tried many drivers, with and without kies, and 5 different PCs (Win7x64,x32, XPx32) and no luck.
Was able to try other cable to but I have the same issue.
Basically I think I'm screwed! I don't think any of the bricked guides apply to me since I can go into Download Mode! I just need to get it detected by some OS.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Use linux with heimdall.
Your descriptor issue is probably irrelevant, maybe linux trying to mount the SD card.

Hi!
I already tried heimdall, but the device doesn't show in lsusb.
When using heimdall command line it just says that it doesn't find any device in Download Mode :\
Next thing I was thinking was to take out the battery because I'm really out of options really :|
Not sure if this matters, but I always have this in my machine. (Ubuntu)
create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
within, add these lines
#Samsung
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e8", MODE="0666"
save the file, then do a /etc/init.d/udev restart
that should make the device hot pluggable, detected, in ubuntu.
@edition
Priyana told me about your problem... There was another friend on this community had something like yours...

HI there. Thanks for the link. I can't seem to install thse drivers at all. My win7 laptop is x86 and give me a error message about making sure its the right package. On my Win8 systems i execute it but it starts to load then nothing on both Laptop and PC.
Heimdall i can see the unknown device but refused to install drivers from the drivers folder.

You have to install the drivers on windows 8 according to:
1- right click on the setup.exe then select
2- troubleshoot compatibility.
3- run through the wizard selecting that your application was running fine on earlier version of windows ...
Good luck

Thanks for the help but are those x64? Was trying to run in XP x32 but it says is not a valid win32 app. I saw they are 1.3.450.0, are they changed? I think I already tried that version without luck :|

These drivers I was using on windows 7 without any issues... But after I used windows 8 I couldn't install them...
It is supposed that they are not changed and am using them for the last two years... I tried Odin 3.07 and it also work great for the tab..

[Q] Multitude of problems; What do I do?

I'm aware that there are many forums about these various things but seemingly, no matter what I do, I cannot successfully restore my phone to working order. I just would like it to be stock again. This all came about in the process of trying to un-root my phone. Using TWRP i accidentally deleted my system files, and unfortunately have no back up due to the full wipe. I really am a somewhat uneducated in this realm of knowledge so I apologize ahead of time for that. I immensely appreciate any and all help possible! :fingers-crossed:
The Status of my Phone:
Sprint HTC ONE
Tampered; Unlocked, S=ON
TWRP Recovery
No OS, only have access to Bootloader, Fastboot, and TWRP Recovery
The Status of my PC:
Most recent Sdk file download
Most recent HTC Sync Manager (I think this means i have up to date drivers too?)
Fastboot files are installed.
The Stock rom i'm trying to push/flash/install is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250904
These are My Problems:
Phone cannot be recognized while in fastboot. This cause me to be unable to re-lock the phone.
The command fastboot devices yields no results where as the command ADB devices does detect my phone.
My phone can be detected in recovery, not fastboot.
I have pushed the rom to my phone however upon install attempts from the recovery I simply "Error flashing zip" without any error number or anything.
If other information is needed please ask and I will try to provide it. I'm not sure where to go from here and would really not like having a brick since i have no way to replace the phone until my contract ends .Thanks again everyone, I really do appreciate any help, advice, or information
Try uninstalling HTC Sync, but leave the drivers. Hopefully this will allow fastboot to see your phone. Then run the ruu.

Okay, just did that, and it hasn't seemed to change the issue. Should I try uninstalling all the htc files on the pc and then just find a file of just drivers? Thanks for your help coal.
You're welcome. That might work, but I'm unsure why it didn't work. Are you on Windows 8? There are some special steps you have to do I think. Also, the drivers don't work on the Windows 8.1 preview.

Go to your Device Manager in Control Panel. What does it say under Android Device?
Also, have you tried different ports?
And does it say Fastboot USB?
make sure you dont have windows 8.1
cuz nothing in hboot gets recognized with 8.1

I am using windows 8, but it is the latest official release, not 8.1.
Karn:
It does say Fastboot USB in all red text, and i have tried different usb ports. however they are all usb 3 so i don't know if that matters.
In terms of the connecting of my phone is unrecognized and windows say it has malfunctioned. In the control panel under devices my phone is displayed as follows in the picture.
The are special instructions somewhere on XDA for Windows 8. The exclamation tells me that may be the issue. I use Windows 7, so I'm not sure what they are.
Also, I do think people have sometimes had issues with using usb 3 ports, but my old computer doesn't have those, so I can't say personally.

Thats all well & good if you have USB 3.0. But in my case I don't & I don't have that Intel(R)_USB_3.0_eXtensible_Host_Controller_Driver rev. 1.0.6.245 on this computer so I cannot install it.
How it shows when it is in fastboot.
When the phone is booted up it shows as normal as a ADB device. All I want to do is s-off the damn thing :/
same here
no usb 3 thats why it doesnt work for me.
i appreciate peoples help but it always annoys me when people say things like "go and have a look, there's loads of threads on this"
I spent about 4 hours looking last night, tried everything mentioned even though I knew deep down it wouldn't work. Dunno why some people have to be so pissy with their answers.
(nikk this isnt aimed at you)
also as well
no one has actually answered the question i asked, i get some pissy answer saying go and use the search button etc.
all i wanted to know is can you upgrade firmware any other way apart from fastboot, i.e. via twrp etc .....
if not then i'll have to rebuild an old machine with windows 7, just wanted to save myself the time thats all

It is really annoying isn't it. Something that worked perfectly fine on windows 8 fails to work on 8.1. I have tried all the different threads must be about 15 threads & 10 websites i've visited & none of them have a work around :|
You could probably get a flashable zip if you have a custom recovery if not then installing windows 7 is probably the only way, Unfortunate for me I don't even have windows 7 :|

on the 1st screen, are you not able to manually select a driver, something like Update Driver -> Let me choose -> Let me pick from list -> My HTC?
sorry if i'm wasting your time, cause it happened to me once even on Win7, and I had to manually select it. and then it worked
