[HTC Desire S] benandrews54:
Hi all,

I am trying to upgrade my HTC Desire S to Android 4.0 via the official ICS update from HTC. However, I cannot get my laptop (Windows 8) to interact with my phone.

If I mount the SD card then I can view the contents but HTC sync won't find the phone and in 'Device Manager' the phone is labelled as "Android Phone" with the yellow warning triangle next to it. I have tried to download drivers but can't seem to get them working. Whether that is my fault or the laptops fault I am unsure.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

benandrews54

HTC drivers are not yet compatible with win 8, I was having the same problem you shud use older version of windows.

with out the drivers sync cannot access the phone

Searched and found multiple 'fixes' but none of them work for me.

Tried:

Restarting Windows 8 into "Disable driver signature enforcement" mode but HTC drivers still terminate as "not compatible with this version of Windows". cant post link, search "Installing Fastboot/ADB drivers in Windows 8"

Installing drivers via device manager but "Windows was unable to install your Android phone".

DL and installed full SDK but 'SDK Manager.exe' flashes up and closes with no further notice when trying to run.

Despite post count I'm not a noob, I am however starting to feel like one! I thought I knew what I was doing but I just can't find compatible drivers to get Windows 8 to recognise my Android so I can run ADB and Fastboot.

Appreciate some have no issues (and that's wonderful for you) but this is driving me crazy! Can someone please post a link to USB drivers that work with Windows 8 x64 and the Desire S.

For the SDK, I dl and unzipped the (almost 400Mb package) with WinRAR. With Java install, Elaipse works fine but I cannot get 'SDK Manager.exe' to run. I tried to run from both GUI and CLI but not even an error message.

Device Manager still shows exclamation mark under 'Android Device'.

I even tried to run the HTC Sync Tool but this failed at the USB driver stage. Nothing seems to work :(

Very frustrating as I have a custom ROM which keeps powering down randomly so I need a reload very soon.

if you want to flash a zip you have to reboot into custom recovery. you are in stock recovery.

if you didn't install cwm, you have to do that first. a start would be to read the beginners guide. (sticky in general section). good luck.

Hi all - I purchased and recommend...

Screen/Skin Skinomi TechSkin $13 Amz

Went on better than any screen skin I have ever used. It is not damage proof, but it is 'soft' and hasn't scratched so far - a fingernail will either glide or dig in and then kind of heal/settle out - so no long scratch like a hard skin would have. Very precise cut and cutouts.

Case/Boot Amzer AMZ94446 TPU Hybrid Skin Case Cover $15 Amz

Love it - feels good in my left hand, not too thick, bezel shows, protects screen, bezel, back and skin. Slight overhang / forward projection (1/8th) so screen does not touch upside down on table - also just covers screen lift area (bezel/glass joint) or skin edge so I'm not looking anymore.

Case/Sleeve Mivizu Nylon Sleeve $12 eB

Almost perfect - fits great, pocket is slim and tight, just for notes and such - not a keyboard cell phone or as in pics. (When open) top or UP is obvious, so novice will not pick up and dump tablet out if unzipped. Fits fine even with boot. Good full rubber bumper system inside for padding.

I'm rough on toys, this system takes care of everything except 'stiffness' protection (for being bent in a satchel or such) - but I can't stand a book style case where I have to hold an attached cover. I'll just have to pack it between books or such.

Sent Amzer pocket-flap style sleeve back - top too tight to go over N7 safely.

Hope that helps someone!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zhindel:
RESOLVED, see reply below

I didn't see a dedicated UKB Q&A Thread. And I don't want to clutter the dev thread. If my search-fu is weak, please let me know, gently... so here we go

I followed the typical procedure with an additional step for the patch:

1. Download rom and move to sdcard

2. Make a backup

3. Wipe Data

4. Install rom

4a. Install Patch

5. Reboot

The problem happens after all the steps are complete and the phone is done booting. The first thing I try and do after the system settles is launch Titanium BU (paid) and start restoring apps. However the system doesn't seem to be able to see the microsd card. The same card where I successfully copied the new rom, backed up UKB 1.1, and installed from. I also tried Dropbox and Root Explorer, and neither can see the card. At first I thought it was the 32GB I switched to, but it even happens with the 16GB card I had in the phone before. Both cards are Sandisk class 4.

I went back to my UKB 1.1 install for now. And will be trying a reflash shortly.

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zhindel:
Resolved

Seems that even choosing to "de-install" all apps during ROM installation. Titanium Back-up still shows up after installing the ROM.

I uninstalled TB installed with the ROM, and reinstalled from the market and it seems to be better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kenshingtx:
Hello All,

I wanted to post this to the Android Development section but since I have fewer than 10 posts I am forbidden from doing so.

Intermittently I will notice some apps do not load images or act as they normally should, and upon opening Solid Explorer to do some investigation I receive an error message (

Cannnot browse to "/mnt/sdcard". An unknown error occured.

). I find I am

unable to access the internal sdcard

through Solid Explorer, and when navigating using Root Explorer it only displays an empty folder.

This seems to happen at least once a day, and restarting my phone usually fixes it at least for a few hours. Sometimes ending all applications through task manager & clearing RAM memory through RAM manager will allow me to normally browse my internal sdcard using Solid Explorer for about a minute or so, and then become unaccessable again.

Phone reboots seem to be the only fix, albeit a temporary one that only lasts a few hours.

I am unable to save screenshots when this occurs, unable to save pictures, some apps do not function properly -- all which makes sense if the phone is really unable to access the internal sdcard.

I have performed numerous wipes (full wipe, cache, dalvik) & reinstalled newer nightly SynergyROMs

but I have been unable to fix the issue. Searching these forums has not brought me any relevant information which pertains to the same issue I am having.

I appreciate any help or insight you guys can provide, thanks for taking a look.

Quick Background:

32GB Samsung Galaxy S3 on Verizon network

No external microsd card

Unlocked & Rooted

Running SynergyROM Nightly (r73)

CWM-based Recovery v6.0.1.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Why would you think to post this in Android Development? This is a question, and thus belongs in Q/A (where it is posted). Android Development is for people who actually developed something, like a ROM, Kernel, etc.

I don't know what kind of advice to give you though, besides try formatting in advanced options of CWM, a reprovision (*2767*3855# ) on stock (back up everything first, to somewhere other than internal SD as it will be wiped) or maybe a 32GB PIT, with a PIT being the least likely solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nerfage:
I second this question!!

I logged in today because I am having the exact same problem. Same ROM as well, Synergy r73. I've tried formatting the SDCard, tried a complete reformat of the phone. But nothing seems to help.

Also, to clarify, it isn't restricted to the external SD card (which mounts to /mnt/etxSDcard folder). It's the entire /mnt directory that hangs. I'm able to go into options and mount and unmount the external card fine. But as soon as I try and access /mnt using any app (andExplorer, Wifi File Explorer, even a simple 'ls' in terminal) the phone hangs, stops responding to button presses, and eventually reboots itself.

Also, I've found my timing matches Kenshingtx's as well. If I reboot the phone, I can access external storage, and the entire /mnt folder for that matter, just fine, and it stays this way for about an hour or so.

Any further ideas are greatly appreciated.

btw, I think he mentioned posting the Android dev because there is a thread specifically dedicated to this ROM with numerous questions and answers in it. (Albeit hard to follow since it's over 800 pages) I already searched in there and found no mention of this issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
The SD card problem sounds like something that used to happen with the old modems.

Go to about phone and check your baseband. If it doesn't end in G7 or HD then you have an older radio that had this issue.

Here's a link to where you can get what you need that explains everything better then I could.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nerfage:
My phone has the G7 modem in it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kenshingtx:
Thanks for everyone's input so far. My baseband ends in F2 so I'll try updating my modem and see what that does (even though nerfage seems to be having the same problem with the G7 modem). And you're right, I wanted to post in the synergyROM development thread thinking the problem might've been specific to that ROM.

I'll also look into reprovisioning on stock rom per Zalithian's suggestion to wipe the internal sd card, and see if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MasterPoppy:
@nerfage - I dunno what the problem is then, could be ROM specific. If you figure out what's wrong post how you fixed it here. You may also want to try flashing the HD rom. Might fix it, might not.

@Kenshingtx - Not sure if the wipe would help so make sure that's an absolutely final thing, googling around is always useful. Hopefully the flash thing does the trick though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kenshingtx:
Flashed the latest modem ending in HD, and tested my phone over the weekend. Still having the same issue where the internalsd becomes unavailable. Wondering if the hardware in our devices are faulty..?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kenshingtx:
My phone appears to be fixed. I backed up all the files on my mnt/sdcard, performed full/cache/dalvik wipes,

formatted internal memory through recovery

, flashed the rom again (decided to try Beans ROM this past week) and I haven't had the same issue come back. It looks like the cause of the problem was something on my internalsd, try formatting it (after backing up any files you need) to see if it'll fix the problem for you too. Good luck.

Note: the fix does not appear to be related to the ROM, i was having the same issue on the Beans ROM as well until I formatted the internal memory

ok i ran into a problem re flashing cm10 on my x2 had to sbf using the ntelos sbf re rooted and restored 754 boy's 2.3.6 nandroid and now i have no data, i can make calls and text but no 3g anyone know a fix for this or am i stuck till up grade. will c spire flash the correct sbf for me if i took it to them or is that a shot in the dark.
[Motorola Droid X2] Sippi4x4man:
C Spire won't give you an sbf. I've been trying for months. Do you have a nandroid backup of the stock rom that came with your MX2? I've seen it mentioned a few times in this forum that you can sbf with the Ntelos file and then restore your nandroid backup of the stock rom and everything should be working fine. I have bricked two Milestone X2 after trying various mods and took it to my local C Spire store. All they would do is warranty the phone out and give me a new one. They could not use a sbf to reset it. Double check to make sure your data connection isn't disabled in your settings and try dialing *228 to activate your phone and see what happens.

Edit: I misread your post and see that you restored 754boy's nandroid. I'm not sure what else to tell you except what is in the last sentence of my post.
[Motorola Droid X2] ionicone:
done the *228 thing. i have data enabled. i can make calls and text. as I've been doing research I've found out that I have no choice but to deal with it or warranty it out. i use Wi-Fi at home and the office so i think I'll deal with it for now.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:

[Motorola Droid X2] Booga Booga:
Is there any possible way to get the carrier files directly from your phone so you don't have to keep going in and asking them to flash the files for you?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
in theory yes there is how ever you would need to know exactly what files and where they are. also restoring them would be a pain without extensive knowledge on how they work or someone with the knowledge to create a walk through.

[Motorola Droid X2] sd_shadow:
first read the mx2 thread, if you have not yet

2 if you need to sbf only use sbf_flash not rsd |ite

if there has ever been an c spire mx2 ota update, and if someone saved it

it can be flashed, in flashmode, with moto-fastboot.exe

there is an update.zip for MX, have no idea what that would do to MX2

could really hard brick it, ,if it didn't, maybe could flash a MX2 sbf with sbf_flash

but that's something you try just before you toss it in the trash
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
If the update is to 2.3.5 it will bomb if it is to update to 2.3.6 it will bomb. Sbf flash is one of the only ways to safely sbf and still retain carrier information to allow data access. If you have already flashed the ntelos sbf with rsd lite then the only thing that can bring back data is to find an ota for 2.3.6 and modify your build.prop to 2.3.5 to let the stock recovery flash it. Or take it to your carrier and have them reflash the phone with their sbf. Sad fact but I've had it happen too much till I switched to sbf flash.
[Motorola Droid X2] 754boy:
I tried sbf_flash using Ubuntu via VMware. It detected my phone but failed to flash each time. Could you elaborate on what to edit in the build.prop. That sounds easy since I've edited it before to add and change certain stuff......then again, would still need that 2.3.6 OTA and I've never seen one around. I'm not even going to waste my time or gas by taking it to Cspire. The people in there are useless when it comes to technical stuff like this.

Your better off doing it through mass storage

AdB is alot slower

You could do adb push "file" /sdcard/
