Guest mickmorey Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Please please help!!! I have been trying to do this for days I have read all the posts over and over again but still can't figure this out. I have intalled the r8 on pc, usb drivers, android debug bridge interface. I have finally been able to install android composite adb interface but this is now where i have a problem. On the android composite adb interface i have an icon next to it which is a screen but I have an exclamation mark over it when you double click on it the message in device status says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" I have tried to update driver but this tells me software up to date I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall!!! I have got debugging on device.

You must 'force' the system (presumably Windows you didn't say) to pick-up the correct drivers and ignore that it thinks they are up-to-date they are NOT. Follow these instructions to the letter:- First, using Windows Explorer you need to go to the folder on your PC where you unzipped the files from Pauls download pack. In that folder will be a folder called 'usbdriver' and within that, one called 'usb_driver' and it is in this sub-folder where all the drivers you need are held. If when you run the 'install-windows.bat' command as instructed nothing happens or you only get say a couple of lines of text displayed then you will need to do the following:- Go to CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM>HARDWARE>DEVICE MANAGER and if you have the Vega connected by USB (with power on) you should see some new hardware called ANDROID PHONE and/or NVIDIA HARMONY. Right click on each entry and click 'Uninstall' then go to the top of the list where it displays your computers name and right click on the entry and select 'Scan for hardware changes'. The Windows new hardware wizard will then pop-up asking if you have a driver disk or not. Say you have and browse to the folder called 'usb_driver' described above and select it. The hardware should then be installed with the correct drivers. Repeat the 'install-windows.bat' command and hopefully this time a whole list of program output should appear showing it is working and in less than a minute it should all be done and your Vega will reboot itself. Then on Vega go into SETTINGS>ABOUT DEVICE and the Kernel Version should include the text for the level you are now at. Note:- You may need to do the above with every new release as it seems to be the only way of updating the drivers properly unless someone else can tell us a better way

I have done all of the above. That little screen I talked about previously still has exclamation mark on it and when you look at it the same message appears saying that it cannot work (Code 10). I did the install-windows.bat command it whizzed up and then was gone but vega has not rebooted. I have looked in device settings can't tell if anything looks different in kernel version. I only got this on monday so wouldn't it have the latest version of kernel anyway? All I want to be able to do is get Android market, so I can download an app so I put ripped dvd's to my vega for my little girl to watch movies when on an aeroplane, are there any help lines I can call coz I'm losing the will to live :(
Guest trevor432990 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Sorry been out and about .... I see from your new topic that you are now up and running so glad to hear that :(
Guest simonta Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Sorry been out and about .... I see from your new topic that you are now up and running so glad to hear that :( Hey Trev, just a quickie. Only motive is to help a fellow helper to help others - I think that makes sense!" Rather than "scan for hardware changes", you should select "add legacy hardware" and do it all manually. On XP, the equivalent is going to Control Panel and using "Add hardware". If you scan, Windows will do it's best to install a matching driver. In nearly all cases, it will find the driver you just uninstalled and take you right back to where you started, which is likely where mickmorey ended up. Similar story with "update driver". The only fail safe way is to uninstall then add the driver without letting Windows do anything. Adding hardware manually always does this. The only way Windows will then ever change that driver is if you update to another driver with the same hardware IDs, which means it comes from Google for ADB which is fine, or it's available on Windows Update which is highly unlikely. Hope this helps to help :( Cheers PS. Love what you do around here...
Guest trevor432990 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Hi Simon ... thanks for the note I'm sure your way works equally as well but as I understand it with the method I describe if you tell XP when it finds the new hardware that you have a disc and use browse manually to point it at the correct directory containing the downloaded drivers it will not go away and do its own thing but go straight to the place you indicate and extract them from there? Interested to read about the XDA setup tool for mods in the new topic is that the same method Clockwork mode uses do you know? :(

Do you mean this one? http://android.modaco.com/content/advent-v...ps-via-nvflash/ Regarding the new hardware wizard, it will work if it pops up. The problem is that in some circumstances, don't know what though, the wizard doesn't pop up and Windows goes ahead and reinstalls the driver. I've seen this a number of times helping out noobs. A lot of guides also advocate "update driver" which often and simply results in "your driver is up to date". Using add hardware guarantees to load the driver you point to, and only that driver. Cheers

Cheers Oh I see I thought it 'always' does pop-up least it has for me when I uninstall then find new hardware but if it doesn't then I could see it being an issue. Is your method in Percy25 useful links guide yet cos it sounds like it should be then I can point people to it instead. The tool was the one steviesteve mentioned in the other topic as "being in the XDA thread titled clean rom add on performance, theres a file you download, put it on the vegas memory card, run it and it takes care of the market install plus a few extras" but I guess it's the same as your link. Never mind I'll explore another day mate :( Edited March 10, 2011 by trevor432990

Guest trevor432990 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Posted March 11, 2011 Ah, got it. No, my guide is just for stock ROM, mcr and USB drivers. OK any chance you could PM Percy25 and ask him to put a link to your guide in his index as I think it would be very useful to have it there?
