Hi
I have tried the dummies guide concerning updating the HTC USB drivers but had a couple of issues:
1. If I press F8 during the boot process I get an abreviated version of the bois setup which has no selection for turning off digital signing of drivers. I have an ASUS motherboard so to enter the bois I press the DEL key. Whilst in the bios I can see no option for turning off the digital signing. The instructions in the thread simply don't work.
I have done some searching and found web pages that explain how to enter the command window, paste 2 or 3 lines of text to turn off digital signing and put W7 64 bit into a sort of test mode. I have done that and have "Test Mode Windows 7600" in the bottom right corner of my Desktop. I still can't install the HTC USB driver as it brings up an error due to being not signed.
Without installing the new driver I cant change my ROM. There must be others in the same boat having changed to Windows 7. Please help.
Ok a few things:
I'm on windows 7 x64 build 7600, I'm having NO problems, just connect your device in windows let it connect with active sync
Then de-connect your blacktsone, shut it down, and hold volume down button then press start up, it will now start in bootloader mode
Now re-connect and wait for it to get installed by your pc!
If you really DO need htc drivers
Go into your bios
Turn of any quick booting AND turn off full logog display
When windows is starting AFTER the bootscreen you'll get a screen with some sort of TABLE in it with all your hardware and all they're IRQ's
at THIS moment when you see this table press f8
Then you get a boot menu
and you can follow your guide with turning off the signed drivers etcetera!
Great Greet Giblet
wow dude, treat me like the idiot I am. Step by step please.
"Then de-connect your blacktsone" - i guess you mean take out the USB cable?
I wait for it to get re-installed but nothing happens whilst in bootloader and the word serial stays at the bottom of the screen
OMG
Oh my god, I am really frustrated becuase I managed to get it to work with your help but I don't know how. I must have tried everything 10 times without luck then all of a sudden it worked.
If only I knew what I was doing wrong I could pass it along to the next poor sap.
Thanks for your help.

Some options to get a new ROM on your device:
Alternative Option: Run ROM from storage card (this requires HSPL on your device)
- Connect your phone to your pc with the usb cable
- Choose Disk Drive option on your phone when presented with the choice.
- Extract the downloaded rar and if not called BLACIMG.nbh rename the romfile to that (ruusigned.nbh is commonly used so rename when so)
- Copy the BLACIMG.nbh to your phone's storage card via Windows Explorer where it should show up as an removable harddrive.
- Disconnect your phone from the pc once copy has finished.
- Shut down your phone.
- Press Volume Down (left top of phone) and keep it pressed while pressing the Start button (on top of phone) once.
- The bootloader (red,green,blue,white screen) will now start, it will detect the new rom file and ask you if you want to update your current one.
- Confirm and follow instructions on screen
Done.
As for your unsigned drivers i can offer some tips:
- Press F8 after you have seen all your hard drives recognized in the bios bootup screen but before you see the Windows Logo.
- F8 might be set as a bootselector menu by your motherboard manufacturer, if this gets in the way of trying the get to the F8 options from Windows you can disable it in your BIOS (to enter press del)
- If you have Windows 7 Ultimate you are entitled to XP-Mode which is basically a built in virtual machine of Windows XP within Windows 7, some people have been succesfull connection their phone to that XP installation and were able to update via it.
Hope this helps. together with the previous poster's comment you should come a long way, good luck.

Oh lol, guess you just managed, grats on that. for future you could try the alternative option i posted, works garanteed irregardless of operation system.
Solution found, thread closed
In future try posting such queries in the Dummies guide: updating HTC USB Sync Drivers thread. Thats what its there for
keep getting this message even though I have installed drivers..pc says they work..phone registers that usb is connected..debugging is selected...what am I doing wrong here...thanks
Update Failed
Please check the PC side and devise side status.
1. Power on your devise and select USB debugging on your phone
-Press Menu and then tap Settings>Applications>Development
-Tap the USB debugging check box if it's not selected
-The USB cable must be connected to your devise and PC
2. Check your driver is installed correctly.
3. Close all other applications in the device and PC.
is your antivirus/internet security shut off?
Have you removed all instances of the drivers (confirmed through device mgr&ctl panel), rebooted an installed the drivers again (making sure phone is not connected until post-install)?
What OS are you running?
running windows7..will check on the antivirus...try reloading USB drives...back in minute with update...lol
32bit or 64bit?
nt sure...wife's laptop..window 7 home premium? Edit...64 bit..sorry

There have been multiple people that have been having odd results with updating through win7 x64.
I would suggest running the update on a 32bit machine.
will try after work..thank you..post result later.

Exactly. I tried for 4 hours on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit machine with no luck. Drivers were installing properly from the CD included with the phone, but the update would always fail at 98%. First try on my older Vista 32 bit machine the update went right through the first time with absolutely no issues.
Don't give up

I agree. However, I got the "failed to update" message even when I tried to install using my desktop computer that's running Vista32. BUT, then I installed the drivers (the ones that came with the update) to my Toshiba netbook (running Windows 7 Starter). The first update failed, same as before. So I disconnected my Zio, and rebooted it. I plugged it back into the netbook, ran the update installer, and it installed in like 7 minutes. Works great too. So far none of the issues that have been brought up on other threads.
edit: froyo 2.2.1 installed successfully on the Zio in less than 10 mins. i forgot to unmount the damn sd card and this was the really why my phone froze on the "modem download mode" and why the install GUI on pc dissapeared.
piece of cake! thanks a lot guys for posting this update and for creating the Zio forum.
installed the zio m6000 drivers directly from retail cd and ran the kyocera updater. i'm running Win XP on an old-school Dell optiplex.
anyway the update has been taking up at least 20 mins now. the screen on my Zio is black and the message "modem download mode" (i figure that its the tethering part) appears.
why is this update taking so long?
I've heard of varying times. Myself, it only took 6 mins or so, others had to wait more like 20-30.
What does the update program say?
OMG!!!! Its happening to me too! HELP!!! I get error code [0x50015001]. SDcard is out, uninstalled modem driver and installed the one that came with the upate, and still 98% then failed. Any help PLEASE?????

don't panic!
you have to follow the directions straight to the teeth on the install instructions.
1. make sure that you have the correct Zio usb drivers installed on your PC.
2. when the installer window (GUI) pops up, read the instructions. make sure that USB debugging is 'checked.' usb debugging option is the settings.
3. make sure that you unmount your sd card (not pulled out).
4. i reset my Zio to factory default right before i updated 2.2
5. if the update installer didn't appear at first then run it again and watch the progress.
Turn your phone off, Hold the volume + (up) and - (down) and the power button to place your phone into Modem Download Mode.
Make sure you have the Kyocera M6000 Drivers installed on your machine properly first. Once you are sure the drivers are installed correctly you can plug your phone in... wait a minute or so before you launch the update file.
I have installed the update to my phone 3 times with no problems other than when I extracted the file from the zip, I found it worked best running it without extracting the file. I have Win 7 32bit and it takes about 5 - 6 minutes to update.
If all else fails. You might have to download the sdk manager and use fastboot and flash the boot image then do the update and it will put the phone into recovery.

By the way, The updater says 5 - 10 minutes.
Success!!!! ok...I dont know if it mattered but I also installed the future dial suite on the zio disk...I went through first and erased all other zio usb drivers before reinstalling the disk versions...plugged in phone..drivers got the OK..then ran the installer..took 5 minutes plus 2 for reboot..lol..
Also...fyi..I did this to my wifes phone but forgot to factory reset...all of her programs and contacts including adw ex remained intact after update (smoke from ears) oh well..thank god for titanium backup..
So does that confirm my thoughts of when I updated the other day to fix a goof after my original update. My apps and everything were still there after the update. So that must mean that the update from 1.6 to 2.2 does not format the phone unless go into the phone settings and do a factory reset.
Im at the end of my chain, please help me. My zio is stuck on the black screen "modem download mode" ever since the 98% thing happened. Try after try i keep getting error code. Im using windows vista 32-bit, i got the disc that came with my zio, i think i may have opened/extracted the zips wrong or didnt install in order or something. I think i uninstalled everything to do with this from my cpu even the zips so i can start fresh with ANY help i can get.
Uninstall the drivers for your zio that you have currently installed. Install the drivers that are on the site for the update download. Turn the phone off, unplug your battery for about 10 seconds if you need to. Hold + up and - down on the volume and the power button to put your phone into Modem Download Mode manually. Give the computer a minute to recognize the device. Run the updater again and if it fails or gives you an error message I would reccomend downloading the updater again. I have been able to run the updater several times already with no issues.
If you are still having problems, you may need to download sdk-manager if you do not have it already. You can always just use fastboot to erase the system and then run the update. The update will then set up the system partition and update the phone.
I had to do this just a few hours ago after I semi-bricked my phone while messing around with the cpu. What I did to get it working again after "bricking" it was...
1. you will need to have the android folder for the sdk-manager in the root of your hard drive to make it easier, unless you know where it is located.
2. Open command prompt and change to the tools directory within the sdk-manager folder. Mine was located in C:\Android\SDK-Manager\Tools
3. You may need to find the AdbWinApi.dll file, mine was located in the platform-tools directory so I just copied it to the main Android folder then copied fastboot from the tools directory and also placed that into the main Android folder.
4. Put your phone into fastboot. Hold Volume + up and the send and power keys. You can do "fastboot -w" and it will wipe user data and cache. You will need to type "fastboot erase system" and it will erase the system partition. Now type "fastboot reboot" and your phone will restart.
5. Put your phone in Modem Download Mode and run the updater.

okay, let me give that a shot, stay with me please!!!!!!
So I installed Darky's 8.1 Rom (needed an older 2.21 rom). I guess it only works on I-9000? When I try to boot, I can't get past a screen which shows "Galaxy S GT-I900). I didn't know it only worked for I-9000's I guess.
Anyway, I can get into download mode. When I try to go into recovery mode, it will just keep resetting and recycling through the screen which shows me the I-9000.
When I am in download mode, I ran odin stock recovery (odin3 one click) from my desktop with admin. Usually, it works, but this time, the phone does not show up in the program (it has worked before with a Com0 and a yellow icon in the corner).
Can anyone help me? Am I bricked and what is the easiest way to recover? Phone is not showing up as a USB device either.
update: It looks like I can get into clockwork recovery mod eventually, but when I try applying update.zip or selecting the option to wipe data/factory reset these don't change the condition of the phone.
Uninstall your drivers, then check program files on your computer got a folder labeled Samsung. After verifyingnothing you need if in it, delete it. Reinstall your drivers. Use aUSB on back of computer. Restart your computer. If that doesn't work, think about using a Linux environment. Just google WUBI installer, it will show you how to install Ubuntu add a dual boot on your computer.

Thanks. I'm up and running again.
Obviously this guide owes a huge bunch of thanks to "TheManii", "Giveen" and other folks who can't be named on this forum. I have tested this on both a Streak 7 WiFi and a Streak 7 4G. In both cases they had the Stock Honeycomb already on them. So if you are coming from some other version of Android you may wish to reconsider
1) Download the Fastboot+ADB.zip file for Clockwork Mod 5.0.2.7 from the XDA Developers thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334487)
2) Download the Clockwork mod 5.0.2.7 file from the XDA Developers thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334487)
3) Go into Settings->Applications and turn on "Run Applications from Unknown Sources"
4) Go to Development Settings and select "USB Debugging"
5) Unpack the Fastboot+ADB file into a directory on your computer where you can find it again
6) Attach the Streak to your PC, and copy the "Drivers.zip" file from the root directory of the Streak (/sdcard) to the same directory where you unpacked the Fastboot file
7) Turn off your Streak after you have copied this file, and disconnect it from the PC
8) Unpack the drivers.zip file and find the "Setup.MSI" file. Execute this file to install the drivers you will need
9) Put your Streak into Fastboot mode - i.e. turn it off, then turn it on by pressing the Power button while holding the Vol DOWN (-) at the same time. This can take up to 20 seconds
10) You will get some red text followed by a white line saying something about Fastboot USB downloading is active
11) Connect the streak to the PC now, and it should install an Android ADB driver. Depending on what you have already setup you may get some drivers installed successfully, and some not. In general if you've been following this guide, you'll be ok
12) Open a command line for the folder where you have fastboot and your recovery image (ClockWorkMod) - in windows navigate to the folder, and hold the shift key while right clicking
13) On the command line type the following:
fastboot -i 0x413C flash recovery recovery.img (where recovery.img is the ClockworkMod or other recovery file)
14) On the command line type the following:
fastboot -i 0x413C reboot
15) Your device should now reboot
16) To get it to reboot into CWM, turn the Streak off, and then turn it on again while holding the Power Button and Volume UP (+) at the same time. This may take up to 30 seconds
From here you would follow the normal CWM options to install just the root files (Superuser7 for one example) or install a custom ROM.
It turns out steps 9 - 15 are also a great way to fix the problem when your Streak comes up and starts asking for a Password when you never setup a password. For some reason installing one of the custom ROMS also installs a version of CWM that is not as recent as the 5 series, which can lead to issues with the signature verification (i.e. when things go "boom", Android sees the partition as encrypted rather than just "locked"). So steps 9 - 15 allow you to put in a later CWM which does a proper wipe, and you're back in business. Have to reinstall apps, but the data is left alone.
Just in case I'm not the only one who has run into this
Ok, I used this guide to modify my Dell Streak 7 wifi. After I was done my screen kept flickering and I put it back to stock thanks to AndroidOVERALL putting together a post on how to complete the restore.
I have searched about the screen flickering but didn't find a resolution. Maybe I missed it, but it seemed that others had the same issue and it was either a hardware problem, the brightness was adjusted, or auto rotate was disabled. I tried adjusting the brightness settings and many other settings but the issue was not resolved until I returned everything to stock.
I have a Dell streak 7 wifi, US version with Honeycomb.
Please point me in the right direction if this issue has been resolved and I missed it. If not any suggestions?
Did you load a custom ROM after following these steps, or did you just reboot aft getting CWM installed. Usually the flickering comes from an issue with the video driver (so can be software if a bad driver, or hardware if it's only marginally in spec).
For any one who gets to the end of the steps and now can boot in go CWM but doesn't know what to do about getting rooted.
Very very Simple.
Download Superuser7.zip
http://www.tablet-cables.com/streak/tools/root/Superuser7.zip
Have your Streak booted normally and USB cable hooked up.
Move to the internal Memory Superuser7.zip
power off device
Power back on using Vol UP & Power Button
Select 2. Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card and press power
CWM will load.
Select install zip from sd card and power to enter.
select Choose zip from internal sd card and power.
use Vol UP to go backwards to your files and select Superuser7.zip and hit power
move down to YES - Install Superuser7.zip and hit power
thats it. its rooted.
goto ++++++++ Go Back+++++++
and reboot system now
and let it reboot.
Not necessary, but I'd suggest running Superuser and hitting the Knob icon top right (settings) and scrolling down and updating Super User.
Hope this helps someone who may not know where to get Superuser7 and what to do after following the great guide above.
thanks!
nothing sucks worse than a bad download -- happend TWICE! (dayum!)
got rewt?

It's saying that it is looking for an SD Card and not finding it, so that certainly makes sense. However, it sounds like it is looking for "update.pkg" rather than "superuser.zip", so is it possible you accidentally selected the "Update" option in CWM rather than the option to select a file?
He doesnt have clockwork mod installed, you must have CWM installed to flash zips
OK, I have a new Streak 7 t-mobile with HC 3.2. I plug it to the pc running xp sp3, and it needs drivers for MTP and Streak7. I pointed to the Fastboot+ADB folder I extracted for the Streak7 driver and it installed Android ADB Interface. Pointing there for MTP fails to find a driver. I can't get to the internal SD to get the drivers.zip because my computer won't recognize the Streak until the MTP driver is installed. After installing an MTP driver from the net, I can see the internal and external SD. I copied everything to a single folder labelled STREAK in c:\ and unplug the Streak from the pc. I put the Streak into fastboot mode (Volume - & Power), wait about 10 seconds, then plug it into the usb port. The computer see the Fastboot device and needs a driver. I point it to the STREAK folder (former Fastboot+ADB) but it didn't find a driver it liked. I tried to install manually, but there is no Android 1.0 or Android ABD Interface devices in my list. I do see Android USB Devices, but it is empty when I click on it. ANYBODY else get this, and how do I move forward? I followed the guide to the letter, and appreciate all the work & effort you guys put into making these root methods available. The Streak7 is a cool little device, but I think it will be cooler once I root it. I have rooted my Epic 4g and the wife's Evo 4g on this same computer, and I do have the Android SDK installed (even though I don't know how to use it).
OK, so I used all the same files I have here and was able to successfully get Clockwork flashed & gain root. I dunno why the xp machines don't like these files. I tried 3 other xp laptops before getting to my wife's Windows 7 laptop, which worked just as described in the very well-written guides. #MindBottling!
I cannot even find the drivers.zip in step6. WIN7x64 and a brand new tmobile streak 7. where is this thing? I looked through all the folders and subfolders.
Drivers.zip is in the main directory of the Streak. Open up ES File Manager or a similar program and you should see it. To get it to your PC, attach the Streak via USB and let it mount as external storage (default behavior I believe).
In my main directory on on my streak, using ES file explorer, i cant seem to find that file. I see acct, cache, config, d, ....etc folders, i scroll down, i see default.prop, init, init_recovery.rc, ...... var files, but i dont see drivers.zip. help I need to get honeycomb so I can use skype front facing camera, cause I understand froyo 2.2 can only use the back camera w skype.
Since this should be a common file for all SD7 units, can someone please email that file to me so i can get past step 6. [email protected]

From this I gather your Streak did not ship with Honeycomb. That would explain why you didn't find the file as that is something that I gather Dell added when they changed how they shipped it later on. I am not sure what the redistribution rules are for the file, which is why I haven't posted it myself.
That said, I also can't guarantee this process will work for someone starting with Froyo. I do know there may be an issue with which version of CWM you can use in that case. As such, you may want to check one of the other guides to be sure.

Explain please? Shouldn't drivers be present no matter how it's shipped? Mine came with Froyo with drivers, I OTA'd to HC and I still have them.
Ya I bought this from dell directly about 3 weeks ago. From what I have been reading on XDA, mine is definitely different. Its a tmobile streak 7.
Android 2.2.2
Kernel : 2.6.32.9
OEM ver: GLUNB1A133633
Build : 15420
Another thing I noticed is that even trying to load CWmod through fastboot, my computer does not recognize the DS7 in fastboot mode. The drivers in the fastboot+ADB zip file dont work on my computer as fastboot drivers (or maybe I should try another CPU). My cpu is an AMD 64; running win7 pro 64; i need some serious help.
I think I bricked!
Ok I followed the directions from here to root my tablet.
http://www.cesgeekbook.com/2011/12/root-dell-streak-7-with-honeycomb-32.html
All went well! Everything worked and I was rooted! did the Superuser7. Clockwork came up and installed. All went right! So I was pleased. I figured I would later than put on a ROM cause it was late. Well was going to do so and tried to go into clockwork via ROM manager. Didn't work! Kept rebooting! So I figured I would try the pother way "Press Power and +" then click to Install from SD Card to go into Clockwork. That didn't work either! Then Now it won't reboot at all! I can get into fastboot and I can get into the bootloader. But that's it! I tried to do a Factory Reset and nothing! it just stays on the Dell boot screen. Anyway to fix the problem? If so, please give me step by step directions on how to do it.
Use of ROM Manager is generally discouraged due to unknowns about how the package will work with other ROMs. It also isn't clear to me which version of CWM you were using.
If you can get into fastboot, then you should still be able to use ADB, and I would suggest trying to reinstall CWM as indicated in the first message of this thread. That way at least you should be at a known good spot for us to try and help you get a custom ROM installed.

Didn't know about the Rom Manager issue. I guess it's only good to use on cell phones? Anyway, I am trying again, but the problem is my laptop is now not reading the tablet when in fastboot mode. I have followed all the step again. Including reinstalling the drivers. But since it's not reading the tablet. I can not reinstall CWM. The version I installed was the one from the 1st page. It's a fairly simple thing to do. But just need to get the device to be read by my laptop.
I have contacted Dell and explained to them the problem. They did say that I can return it to get it fixed. but still kind of hoping I can do it from home.

Not sure what you mean when you say the laptop is not reading the tablet in fastboot mode. When in fastboot it should NOT show up as attached storage. The best way to tell if it is "really" seeing the Streak 7 is in step 13 - which uses an id rather than a device name so that it should work even if the tablet isn't fully identified. If you try to perform step 13 while in fastboot, what message are you getting?
I've had my L90 for about two months now, and I'm happy to have it after owning an S2 which has had a faulty USB port and crashed almost daily. The only problem with the L90 was the small internal memory. To remedy this, I bought a SanDisk 32 GB MicroSD, which arrived yesterday. It worked well, the first thing I did was put the first 5 seasons of Adventure Time onto the SD card (~13 GB of .mp4 video) in about an hour and the files played fine in MX Player. However, some problems began to arise after this.
The phone would say that it's in MTP mode, and my computer would show that it was connected, but opening it in Explorer showed me a blank window. Keep in mind that these problems began after mounting the SD card. In addition to this, any attempt to move music would end in the middle of the process because the phone would "disconnect", and any attempt to move an .mp4 file would come up with an error saying the device "didn't support" that file, despite being able to play them previously.
I have tried multiple USB ports on my computer, rebooted my phone, installed the LG drivers (which I feel haven't done anything, as they don't show up anywhere), and nothing seems to work. If anyone could help me out with this, it'd be greatly appreciated.
Update on situation:
The phone's problem now is that it will show up in My Computer, but then disappears after a few seconds, as though it has been disconnected, yet it's still plugged in and charging.

So I should just format the SD card and that should work?

I don't have a custom recovery installed.
I'd suggest uninstalling all LG drivers. Reboot your PC and then run the driver installation program again. DO NOT connect your device to the PC just yet. Reboot PC once more. After PC starts, connect your device in "Charge phone" mode. Let the drivers install. From the "PC connection -> Select USB connection method" screen on the device, select "Media sync ( MTP )" and let the drivers install. Do the same for the remaining two connection methods. Once all drivers are installed, just for sanity, reboot PC one last time.
If that method doesn't work, then a factory reset may need to be done. This can be done in one of two ways.
1) With device booted :: Settings -> Backup & reset :: select Factory data reset
2) See this post for instructions on how to perform a factory reset with key combos.

I've done everything up until installing the drivers from the phone. When it's first plugged in in "Charge Phone" mode, should I hit the button in the top right to install the PC software? Or should I go straight to the other drivers? I'm asking because when I plugged it in with "Charge Phone" mode on, nothing installed.

Yes, if you don't have another LG driver installer package.

I did everything you said, installed drivers, reset my computer and phone, and the problem persisted, it showed up, and then the window closed and nothing showed up. Will I have to factory reset it or is there anything else I could do?

With fresh drivers and you're still having issues then I'd say it can be one of 3 things:
1) Bad MTP driver on Windows. Hard disk fragmentation can cause issues like this. Try running Defrag on the Windows installation drive. Usually ( C: )
2) #1 didn't fix it? Try uninstalling and reinstalling Windows Media Player. MTP only works with Windows XP 32 bit and Windows Media Player 11, and newer 32 and 64 bit Windows versions with Windows Media Player installed.
3) #1 and #2 didn't work??? Possibly a hardware issue on the device.

Should I install the MTP toolkit? Also, I'm running a defrag on my C: drive, and I have Windows 7 64-bit, and I'm not totally sure on how to uninstall and reinstall WMP. If none of this works, I'll just factory reset it and hope it solves it.
you are using lockscreen lock or something????
sometimes lockscreen lock can make device disappear like you said...

I have a lockscreen with a pattern, if that's what you're asking.
