Guest TescoHudl Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Just been trying to flash the new ROM posted by hal2710, but the Hudl isn't being recognised by Windows in flashing mode any more... :( It was working okay a couple of weeks ago, so i think the issue is being caused by the recent upgrade to Windows 8.1. The Hudl appears as it should in Windows when it's switched on; the problem only occurs in flashing mode. Does anyone have the correct driver i need to install? Any help/suggestions would be most appreciated. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian... Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I could not flash my Hudl initially. I spent some time trying to flash using RKTools17 but device manager refused to work with the provided drivers. Eventually out of desperation I plugged the tablet into another usb socket and the drivers were detected. I am using Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried using another USB socket like you said, but the problem still remains; it just shows this message is the lower right hand corner: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian... Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Weird. That is the message I got when using the wrong usb port. Have you tried all of the ports on your PC. I changed my existing devices around and plugged the Hudl into the first port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TescoHudl Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Weird. That is the message I got when using the wrong usb port. Have you tried all of the ports on your PC. I changed my existing devices around and plugged the Hudl into the first port. I have tried to get it working in both USB 2.0 ports, and also the USB 3.0 port. Keep getting the same message with them all. :( EDIT: If i attempt to update the driver, with the Google USB driver, like so: It tells me this: I'm beginning to hate my Hudl.... I was actually going to go ahead and buy a Nexus 5 on release date (November 1st); but if i can't get the drivers to work on my computer, i may have to reconsider and get an iPhone 5 instead!! ;) (As well as the Hudl i also owned a Nexus 7, and the drivers refused to work with that as well).

Guest Roy Hudl Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Try using the RockusbDriver from RKTools folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fisher122 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Try this method: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QLF Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Also enable USB debugging and swap to ptp mode instead of mtp. Worked for me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TescoHudl Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Thank you all for your responses. It is most kind of you guys to try and help me with this problem. :) 1. Roy Hudl - I directed the device managers 'Update driver' installer to the location you suggested, but it tells me that the best driver is already installed. 2. Fisher122 - I also attempted your method, but the location you've got in the 'Copy manufacturers files from' box, doesn't actually go anywhere. Inside the 'usb_driver' folder i have two folders and three .inf files; i don't know which one to choose? Both of the folders are completely empty. 3. QLF - MTP and PTP make no difference unfortunately. USB debugging is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest menace1944 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 You could try using the driver from the Archos website. I used this when my hudl wasn't detected and have had no further problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used this when my hudl wasn't detected and have had no further problems. I wasn't sure which driver i needed to download, but i went for this one: http://www.archos.com/gb/support/support_tech/updates_adb.html When attempting to install this driver, it comes up with the same message as before: It seems that the 'USB device descriptor' thingy is preventing the installation of any drivers for the device. I cannot stop the USB device descriptor status being added to the Hudl because it comes up as soon as i plug the device into the laptop. You can bypass the recommendation Windows makes (That the best driver has already been installed) by choosing 'Have disk' on the driver installer, rather than letting Windows search for the driver itself. But if i do this, i get this new message. This error happens on all the drivers i try to install. Edited October 29, 2013 by TescoHudl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the driver I used but I use Windows 7 64bit and had no problem replacing the driver although I did get a message that the existing driver was the best driver.

Guest PsYcHoKiLLa Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 TescoHudl, I'm getting the exact same as you, I've tried on my PC, laptop and another NetTop, all with Windows 8.1 but no joy. I even went as far as trying installing VirtualBox with Windows 7 as a guest and still couldn't get it installed on there either. Might have to install Windows 7 temporarily on the laptop. Should just be able to do it with one of the digitalriver Windows 7 links, don't even need a serial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was convinced that it was just me who was getting this issue. :) I came to the conclusion last night that it is definitely something to do with Windows 8.1. Worst operating system ever... Sure, Windows 8 is good on touchscreen devices, but on a normal computer it's stupid. 99.9% of computers don't have a touchscreen which makes it completely pointless. I've been considering a downgrade back to Windows 7 for quite some time; it wouldn't be too difficult because i have the installation disk here, but i don't want to loose my data on this PC... I borrowed my moms Windows XP SP3 netbook and installed ADB onto that. I tried to install the Archos driver in fastboot mode and it worked flawlessly, proving that this is indeed an issue with Windows 8.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft seem completely lost when it comes to touch-based interfaces; they should stick to what they're good at, which isn't touch. As soon as my friend got his new Lenovo laptop with Windows 8 on it, the first thing I did was wipe it off and put Windows 7 on - far better.

Guest Simon O Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Rockchip USB drivers are currently incompatible with Windows 8.1 due to changes to the USB subsystem. I'm unable to flash any Rockchip based device. If I ever manage to find newer drivers then I'll pop them onto the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest glossywhite Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Windows 8... LOL. Why would anyone want OR need to use that junk? Windows 7 is perfectly fine, and not at all old... People, re-install Windows 7; problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PsYcHoKiLLa Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 (edited) Ok. Temporary workaround for windows 8.1 users until we get the drivers. Connect your device to the computer in flash mode. The computer will say “USB Device Not Recognized”. Go to Device Manager and you will see your device listed as “Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)” in “Universal Serial Bus controllers” section Now in “Universal Serial Bus controllers” section you should also have “USB Root Hub”’s (might be several of them). Click through them and find the one that has “Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)” in the “Power” tab (should be next to General). Right click on that “USB Root Hub” and press “Disable”. Now you should have a small arrow pointing down on the USB Root Hub icon and the “Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)” should have disappeared. Now you have to go to the folder where the RKBatchTool is located on your system. Find the file "config.ini" and open it. Find the section where it says: LOGFLAG=TRUE#SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE时,扫描支持full speed usb设备，默认只支持high speed usb设备SUPPORTLOWUSB=Write TRUE next to the second “SUPPORTLOWUSB=”It should be like this:LOGFLAG=TRUE#SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUE时,扫描支持full speed usb设备，默认只支持high speed usb设备SUPPORTLOWUSB=TRUESave the file and open the RKBatchTool as usual and you should see the green square in Connected Devices.Now you will be able to flash the rom. The flashing process might take longer than usual but it works. P.S: If you have never previously installed Rockchip drivers on your system you might need to do those steps before doing the ones above:1) First you need do reboot windows with driver signature disabled: configure->change pc settings-> update & recovery -> recovery-> advanced startup -> troubleshoot -> advanced options -> restart -> 7 From here Edited November 3, 2013 by PsYcHoKiLLa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RicM91 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 I Believe I have Found a solution to this problem. Like all ov ya I was stuck with an unrooted Tesco Hudl, Tried everything already you haven't tried but then I installed Samsung USB drivers and kablam it worked like a charm. I got me a rooted Hudl now. Love my new custom ROM. I use Windows 8.1 and I had no problems using this driver to complete the Hudl driver installation. Try and download for Samsung note 3.
