[Q] Install Windows 8? - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So since Motorola provides the unlocked bootloaders for these phones, does that mean it's technically possibly to install full Windows 8 on these phones? The Razr I does use a standard Intel x86 Atom CPU. Has anyone ever done this before? I assume it's not as simple plugging in an external DVD drive and installing Windows 8 like on a PC or pre-installing Windows 8 onto a microSD card and inserting that card?

So you're saying that if I simply unlock the bootloader, install Windows 8 to a microSD card, and boot into that, it'll work and i'll have some basic functionality? And after that all I'd have to do is go on a driver hunt?

Nope. It takes a little more effort to do this. You'll will need to make the bootloader capable of reading MBR or GRUB partitions. I don't know anyone that managed to boot Rzr i into Windows. Most of the people that i saw trying, gave up. I think that the drivers don't exist since Windows is not supported by the manufacturers of the hardware.
But check this thread and sse the problems that were found:

Doesn't Windows usually include some generic drivers out of the box to get basic functionality working such as display drivers and other stuff like that? Based on that thread, it looks like all you need to do is get the bootloader to recognize GRUB or MBR. That should be possible with a fully unlocked bootloader. After that, Windows 8 should boot but it's functionality will be limited without the proper drivers.

I guess that if the driver problem can be solved there would be another problem, it wouldn't run smooth

[SOLVED] N1 Brick

Question...
Just upgraded my primary comp and i wanted to mount my Nexus one to try a new kernel.
I plugin the cable but all that happends is that it charges the found, i have no option to mount?
So i look under usb devices at my computer and finds out that it has a "Windows error code 43".
I try and connect it to another computer, its the same.
I just bought 2 new cables, same problem.
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
My Nexus is listed as "Unknown Device" with no option to install the x64 driver.
So my question is... did i brick my N1 so i'm not able to mount it anymore?
__________________________________________
Update:
I sent the device into HTC' repair center, my phone had a Unlocked Bootloader.
Received the phone back today, it had the bootloader locked again and when i turned it on "Update detected" then i got Android 2.2 FRF91 YAY!
Right click on unknown device and select update driver. Then select the appropriate driver either from the SDK or the Android website. It's been discussed multiple times. Search the stickies.
Also if you bricked your phone, you'd be freaking out alot more.
I did -.- I have installed this driver alot of times, and as i wrote, i already tried the x64 driver.
Windows tells me the best suitable driver is installed, which is Unknown device.
I even tried removing all usb drivers to let it search again, i tried adding the driver manually, also failed.
I tried the driver from the SDK and using search/google i was able to find a x64 usb driver, which also fails. Windows error code 43.

Believe me, i am freaked out :/
I have been developing a android app on my laptop for about 2-3 weeks now, and i wanted to mount my phone at my stationary pc.. Now i cannot mount it on either my laptop (with all the drivers installed) or on my stationary pc :/
Here you can see what it looks like
Note: It does not accept any of the drivers posted in the USB Driver topic

Nope... I just installed Windows 7 32-bit, the same issue.
All i get when i try the drivers are:
"Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.
Unknown device."
You may want to try a live thumbdrive with ubuntu 10. That worked for my 64bit system. Also you can boot your phone right?
Bricked generally means that you can not turn on your phone, thus turning it into a useless brick. From what I understand this only happens when you update the radio and remove the battery.
If you have changed your rom previously are you running the Desire rom?
I've been running the Cyanogenmod ROM while ive been developing my android apps.
I have been unable to mount it after i installed my new hardware. I should also say that my comp managed to destroy a USB-stick aswell.
Worked before upgrading comp, now it doesn't.
And yes, i am able to boot up the Nexus
If you can boot into your phone its not 'bricked'. Do you have SD card reader on your laptop or desktop, or another smart phone or device with an Micro SD card slot. If so I'd pop up the SD card and try to read it by itself. If that doesn't work I think its just the card not the phone. If it does then something screwy my have happened to your phone.

My computer also burned out my Cardreader, so that is not a option either.
However i was able to use the MicroSD reader in my laptop.
My SD card works just fine there.
Search for usbdeview, download it , run it and uninstall your htc usb drivers and then reinstall your X64 driver from the sdk. That should solve your problem.
I know this sounds stupid, but are you using a cable to extend the length of your usb? If so, unplug it.. i had the same problems, it was a stupid cable and i was freaking out.
Re: N1 Brick
No, not that either. Also tried formating the SD card, no luck.

It took me a few goes to get Windows to LOAD the correct Driver
Tried, didn't work aswell... However i do have another question for you guys:
My teacher got a HTC Desire, i asked him to try my MicroUSB (original) cable and see if he could mount with it, he couldn't either, only charging like it does on my Nexus.
So i decided to buy another original HTC MicroUSB cable but i had to wait for the shop to receive the cable from HTC.
Meanwhile i bought this cable and tried it with no luck aswell: http://www.av-cables.dk/computer_ka...a_microb/usba_han_microb_han_1_m_1888_da.html - This one didn't work either.
New question:
Does it require a original Nexus One (HTC) MicroSD cable to mount?
I mean, the cable must be broken somehow too since the Desire cant mount using it aswell.
The shop received the cable today and i should pick it up today.

This tells to me you did it wrong. Do not search for drivers, do not let let windows determine anything. Tell it you have disk, navigate to your drivers and install them. Give windows a choice and you'll never get anything done.

[Q] Download mode not compatible with Virtual Machine?

Hello all.
First of all, before people shooting at me and saying "please search", I come from many Google and xda search with "MacOs, download mode, failure vm, virtual machine, odin , kies" in every combination you can imagine and no result.
So, the problem is the following one:
I remarked, with some friends from a french forum that we all succeed to use KIES in a virtual machine and connect the phone:

That work like a charm.
Then w wanted to flash, then reboot the phone in Download mode ( yellow android at work ) and then there is a big crash telling us that the device is not recognized:
"unable to connect USB device to virtual machine"
Click for full size - Uploaded with Skitch
I would really be pleased to have more info on this issue and if we are only a little group to have this issue.
For info, I am using MacOS Snow Leopard and the trial of parallels desktops 6.
It doesn't work with VMware Fusion either. Must be something to do with the USB interface on Samsung.. I've heard some people have it going on Virtualbox running on Linux - but not Mac.
Works fine on VirtualBox on Ubuntu.
Why don't you give Heimdall a go? Haven't tried it personally, but OS X is in the list of supported OSes
Maybe I found the explanation , thanks to ed link:
Although Heimdall runs on OS X all Galaxy S phones tested thus far contain a bug in the secondary boot loader that prevents the phone registering itself with OS X. This may change if Samsung release an updated secondary boot loader.

Maybe there is the same problem.
Does the secondary boot loader has a link with download mode? If yes, that might be the problem!

Yes, download mode functionality is provided by the secondary boot loader. If you really desperately want to get it working with OS X then you would need to download the source for, modify and install a custom IOUSBFamily.kext that contains a work-around specifically for the Galaxy S.
The only options for we Mac users right now are to find a Windows machine, install boot camp on your Mac (then point your vmware machine to it to save duplicate Windows wasted space), or possibly find a way to boot from an external drive with Windows (like a thumbdrive or livecd if possible).

Exactly what i have done. And I HATE it :|
I had this same problem, and I just saw this thread after spending hours last night trying to figure out why XP in Parallels stopped recognizing the phone as soon as it went into download mode. So irritating!
it works for me on VMware 7 + WinXP SP3
because my Win7 64bit PC is crazy it won't recognize the phone randomly, twice it bricked my phone doing the Flash on the Host PC
so after setting up my ROM FLASH VMware machine, now i no longer have problem
stupid windows, no time to mess with the system registry to figure out what is the madness with the USB detection
i'm pretty sure you should have no problem as well if you use VMware 6.5
I posted this in the Heimdall thread but thought I should let followers of this thread know also.
I sent Samsung the OS X USB failure log and since then Samsung have informed me that the Froyo update (specifically the Nordic version released October 15) includes a fixed bootloader which should allow the phone to be recognised in OS X. I'm yet to verify this but hopefully this is the case!

[Q] Baseband upgrade with linux OS.

Hi!
I stopped using Windows recently, and have tried to find another way of changing the baseband on my phone. Is widows software the only option for doing this?
Seems like it at the moment, unless Smartflash works in WINE, which I doubt.
No, wine doesn't work.
Is there no way of doing this without a computer then?
It seems there is not another way, I used to upgrade my bb by virtual machine.

I do like that too but it's not the best solution because when you plug in a usb cable is the host machine that deals with it first and then the guest virtual machine manages it. This little detail made me unable to update my x10 mini,with this phone you have to push the back button while plugging in the usb. In that situation you plug the cable, the phone doesn't see any "flashing attempt" because the host machine (linux) doesn't have the flasher software running and so the phone reboots without updating. When the device is "passed" to the guest machine is already too late. As babytux said it can be done, but if you have problems in the procedure a "real" windows machine can be useful.
no known linux sw at this time, sorry ...
i updated my BB to 20110725 with virtualbox (without hw virtualizing)-(64bit linux as host machine) without any problems (smartflash in winxp used only virtual modem(tty) for this job).
i'm thinking the lgos is a "real" open phone for all types of OS's, not to mention the super "last" flash fallback(nvflash).
hope, this is a little help for you ...
Unless there is a way to do it with Nvflash it might be impossible for now.

Can't connect Nexus 6 via USB

Hello, I just received my Nexus 6 but I have a problem which also was also a problem on my old note 2. It won't recognize the drivers or install them. I did some test, it connected and instantly updated the drivers on another machine, so it's not the cable or the phone(A windows 7 machine), and it also works with my windows 10 tablet.
I also removed digital signature requirement for installing them, doesn't seem to work. I literally have no clue and did my research for about 1 hour to no avail. I must have done something way long in the past on windows 8.1 to flash my note and that ****ed up somewhere in windows, but I have absolutely no clue here.
Worst comes to worst, I'll just reformat, as this was an "upgrade" from windows 8.1.
Couldn't this be linked to motherboard drivers possibly?
Edit : http://puu.sh/jVpz1/38c5e640f8.jpg I tried manually to uninstall/reinstall, to no avail.

Been a long time since I did it. Have to download the google driver. Then go to device manager where you delete the Android driver. Right click and will ask for where to get the driver. Pick local to search PC for driver and install from there. That the best I remember off top of my head. On mine is Asus driver. I deleted it and then searched PC for the Google driver.

I tried switching ports.
Ok so the list of things I tried : Manually removing any drivers that had to do with android/usb phone, I reinstalled the drivers for my motherboard, I fixed every system inconsistency with ccleaner, removed android studio. I had also manually removed any prior detection fo the nexus 6 in the device manager. It will once again pop up the "driver install" from windows, complete, but be impossible to manually update via device manager as it doesn't recognize my device.
I'm also using the default cable from my nexus 6, and tried others. Is there anything else to do? Otherwise reformatting tonight. Thanks everyone for the support.
Hello, sorry to keep bumping this thread. I just reformat... and the problem still persists. I have no clue what to do anymore, I literally tried everything I could possibly think of.
Anyone got any ideas? To state again, I'm running windows 10 x64.
http://puu.sh/k0qiv/a4802d7e43.png
I just found that when I used the "reset pc" function of Windows, I still have remnants of adb. What am I supposed to do here? Any ideas how to remove them fully? Could that be the problem?
Nevermind, I did a total complete reformat now, still doesn't work. I'm literally out of ideas now.
Should I contact my motherboard manufacturer (MSI) ?
not sure what to tell you, but definitely samsung drivers and motorola drivers do not play well together very often

Not sure what you lost. I did an upgrade from 8.1 to 10. All my SDK, Java, adb/fastboot, Path Variables, ect remained intact. Depending on Make and Model of PC there have been a lot of drivers missing or needing updates. The PC should see the phone regardless of adb/fastboot status. It has to be a driver on PC side. The OS supports it. It should show as an Android device even if it doesn't say Nexus 6. Nexus 6 shows the Google Driver is good.

Have you tried a Windows update since the original boot. On my son's AZUS the touchpad driver was bad. It had changed driver to a Generic. Deleted that driver and ran Windows update and it found the new driver. Worth a shot. Hard to tell what to do. I couldn't see any differences after the Win 10 upgrade. Didn't even effect my dual boot Linux. My friend just lost lost the drive sync to his Linux setup.

Just an update, I cannot believe I found the problem while I kept digging.
Get this.
It was because I had Windows 10 N version. I am not ****ing kidding. Somehow the windows bloatware makes it so I'm unable to install phone drivers. It seems to be a recurrent problem because my friend has another phone and it did the same to him. How the **** is this a thing? Like, how could microsoft let such a **** up go by and there hasn't been a big controversy? Am I missing something?
I feel like the cheaper version of an OS gimping the user by removing such basic function as installing phone drivers is insane. But then you can fix it by installing the media pack for your respective OS, but you have to know that.
I'll leave this up if anyone ever searches for these terms.

Teclast X98 Air III 32GB Android version - Install Windows 10

Hey guys,
my x98 Air III will arrive in the next couple of days and I plan to run Windows 10 on it. i got the 32GB Android only version and hope since there is a 64GB dual boot version that the bios isn't locked and I can boot from USB. Has anyone tried this already?

I've managed to install the dual boot bios on my Air III, but couldnt figure out why flashing was failing. Every time it would go to 10% and fail (when using that Intel's flash tool).
So how did you make it work? Could you post some instructions?

however, I cant boot windows to install it.

Im at that stage now as well. I couldnt flash the rom automatically so I had to manually input the fastboot commands. Got few things to try in regards of delpoying Windows on it, but that will have to wait until I get home though.

How did you manage to install Windows? Can you provide links to files needed to install it?
I'm pretty happy with Android right now, but I wonder if the UI response is more snappy under W10. I already have a USB prepared with the Teclast W10 version. Just waiting for instructions on how to flash bios etc..
I have done a clean Windows 10 Home 32bit (TH2 1511) install and use the driver package from HERE.
All works fine yet but i know one issue with screen brightness:
When i tap the brightness icon (with 25-100%) there came a point with 0% brightness and i tick it and the screen was off and no chance to find the right button without screen
I restart the tab with 15sec. power button but after the short welcome screen, the screen goes back to dark.
So i must use a keyboard and start the tab in rescue modus and set the power managment to "standard". After this the screen was on after next restart.
My question: is it possible to delete the 0% entry in screen brightness?

How did you manage update BIOS? Did you flash it from Windows PC with USB Debugging enabled or from EFI Shell? My Windows desk cannot find Air III, it says 'no devices found'.
I have managed to put windows on it, by downloading all the files directly from Teclast forums. However, windows is in Chinese and I cant seem to change the language to anything else. Everytime I download a new language, it fails without oving me a reason any suggestions what to do?

Thanks, did that and all is fine now. Only trouble was none of the drivers were included in the official ISO files, so I had to manually install a lot of things. The file that can be downloaded directly from teclast is optimized and preconfigured with all the drivers that are needed.

First of all get this: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1kTyAH2f
Secondly, follow this tutorial to install all necessary drivers and tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62823535&postcount=5
Thirdly, manually edit "Update_Android.bat" file (comes with a package that you have downloaded as the first step) to make sure that all file paths are correct - most importantly the 4th line of this wile, where it points to Intel Manufacturing Flash Tool. Also make sure that there are no Chinese characters in any of the file paths.
Lastly, run "Update_Android.bat" and follow the instructions there I've found that unless you get everything right (all file paths and tool) there isnt much risk of something going wrong, as nothing will actually happen.
thanks for the info! just installing windows 10 on my m5c5 32gb air iii right now, seems to work bios flash was easy and painless. after flashing it took a while for the tablet to power back on. it also didnt see my win10 install usb stick at first. after a few trial and error attempts it eventually booted into windows install.
I'm installing stock windows. which drivers did you use to get the tablet fully working? right now I'm getting the July 2015 Air 3g Windows 10 drivers from techtablets
I have used the same package, majority of drivers can be downloaded using Windows, but there are some missing and thats where the package comes in useful.
