[Q] Windows 8 Drivers?

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.

I don't know if your problem come from vista but just try to reboot your PC and press F8 many times and check an option to disable signed driver or something like this . Or you can install Raw driver . That's what I did and it work

Try wug's toolkit, it has step-by step drivers for most every windows system including vista. I've had to set the drivers manually before too, but it's easier if you can follow on-screen directions. Don't worry, we're all noons in some regard. We just have more we can learn here. -Ara

thanks guys,
i aint going to lie mskips method is infuriating in my opinion.after every step i get "waiting for device" and nothing happens,succesfully completed steps 1 to 3 then on the root step it does some stuff my tablet turns off then comes back on normally not to fastboot mode and on my pc it says "waiting for device"... waiting for what?????
so i decided i woulg give step 8 a try using TWRP and after it does some stuff succesfully exactly the same happens,"waiting on device" and n7 turns off and then comes on in normal mode???
is that the process complete?

Are you trying to do the all in one click? I tried that and it did not work for me. I had to do each option separately and it worked.

Use Wug's, it gives you step by step visual instructions. I followed his method and installed drivers manually on my home computer, theis after fighting with two other computers previously. The only thing to note is that you will have to reboot into fastboot manually, then install the drivers and rebooot the computer in the end.

ok i'll use Wugs,will the fact that my tablet has completed some steps effect anything or just carry on like nothing has happened??

+1 for Wugs.
I had an issue where it wouldn't root. I rebooted, re started, unplugged, restarted PC, etc. I finally uninstalled WUGS toolkit and installed again. Worked like a charm and there are about 3 YouTube videos showing you step by step.

[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

Coal:
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.

Drivers Tried everything!

I have spent Friday and Saturday trying to get drivers installed on my Nexus 6. I have removed, uninstalled, added Google drivers, added sdk adb, computer needs to be returned Monday and this new Toshiba Satellite with one usb port with not recognize my phone. Even though the computer beeps every time I plug it in or out.
Any steps or detailed procedures would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Try using the Wug Fresh Root Toolkit in the Development section for the Nexus 6. Just make sure you follow the instructions. There are several different ways to find the correct drivers with his Toolkit. Good luck!

Thanks man, but that's how I unlocked and rooted my phone. It's also how I screwed my phone up, trying to undo the forced encryption. Did it all with Wug's Nexus Tool Kit. I have been at this 25 hours with no success. Drivers are needed. I don't know why the computer doesn't recognize the phone, the computer beeps every time I plug it in or unplug it.

I always have issues with Nexus devices being recognized. I always have to plug the device in, go to the device manager, and delete anything that has to do with the device, including any labeled as ADB devices. I've also found it helps to go to "View" and hit "Show Hidden Devices". After deleting them all, I unplug and replug the device and install the Universal Naked Driver from this thread.

I assume with it being a Toshiba Satellite its running windows, what version? The older OS's seemed to be less finicky then W8, Have you deleted and re-installed the google drivers from http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html or from another site? Have you tried any different PC's? Have you checked the windows hardware event logs for any error messages? Have you been able to put in say a thumb drive into the usb port and it work? Are you on as admin and all that security crap? Do you have usb debugging on in the developer area on the phone? Are you able to get it into fastboot mode? If you do fastboot devices does it show anything at all? I assume you have rebooted the PC, but I'm still surprised how many issues that fix's.
Just some suggestions, I know how frustrating it can be. Good luck.

Thanks. I did that and I downloaded an Intel driver so now the computer recognizes the phone in Device Manager.

No, I have a Nexus 6 that the computer won't recognize. ADB and SDK also don't recognize the phone.
I am using my old Samsung S4 for emergency support. It's not hooked up with AT&T since I got the Nexus 6. I have to return this computer tomorrow. I am starting to wonder if it's computer problems with phone problems.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk

When you type ADB command in the DOS Box, there should be a popup on the mobile whether you wanna allow access from this computer.
Did you select yes and remember that PC?

I had this problem when I did my nexus 6, something on the laptop I was using was conflicting, I moved to another laptop and it worked like a charm never went back to figure out what was conflicting. Do you have access to another machine?

[Q] Can't Unlock Bootloader

I am trying to unlock the bootloader of 10 HTC AT&T Vivid's which will then be flashed with CM and sent to Lesotho for mapping purposes. Unfortunately I cannot get past the first step of unlocking the bootloader. The devices are running Android version 4.03. and I am attempting to unlock them using a Windows 8.1 Pro PC, 64 bit.
Like the user in this thread , I have SDK installed, Google USB Driver, Java and HTC Sync.
I have tried the HTC drivers from here and the Google USB driver but I believe the issue may be in how I am installing the drivers. The device is recognised by the PC when it is turned on but not by HTC Sync. Whenever I load the device in fastboot device manager lists it as "Device Failed Enumeration." If I uninstall the driver or try and update to either the HTC driver or Google USB driver in Fastboot mode I am prompted with an error that says folder I have selected "doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device." I am able to update the driver when the device is booted up but it does not seem to work in fastboot mode.
I am really at a loss on how to proceed and what I should try next so any help would greatly appreciated.
Edit 1: I followed the instructions from the Nocturnal Team and installed the Samsung Drivers whilst the phone was switched on. This worked fine and when I typed in adb devices in command prompt my device was recognised. I rebooted into fastboot mode and tried installing the Samsung Drivers again like instructed however I encounter an error. This time it says that "Windows found driver software for you device but encountered an error attempting to install it...This device cannot start (Code 10)."
Typing in adb devices or fastboot devices in command prompt following this still does not return anything. What am I doing wrong and why will windows not recognize my device when it is in fastboot mode?
Edit 2: I plugged the phone into another USB port and have been able to select different drivers, the Samsung ones and HTC drivers. Despite this the device is still not appearing in command prompt when typing in fastboot devices/adb devices. I feel so close yet so far.

Hello,
Uninstall driver then fallow this guide : http://www.howtogeek.com/167723/how...8.1-so-that-you-can-install-unsigned-drivers/ , then reinstall driver. I hope will help you?!

Thanks for the quick response. I've tried this reboot method a few times but I still get prompted with the message that says that the folder specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver and to make sure it is designed to work with x64 based systems.

Drivers don't designed to work on OS x64 based, so you need to use an OS x86 if you want drivers to work.

Do you mean I need to use a different operating system?

Yes, you must find drivers for the x64 OS or install an x86 OS.
