[Guide] Drivers & RRU Errors Solved

This guide is for anyone having issues with their HTC Hero drivers. It is aimed at Windows users and the guide was performed on Windows 7 x64 but relevant to older systems with minor adjustments (use common sense).
Most of it will be pictures, i'll try to fill in the rest in future and give it some layout but for the most part this process is easier to see than describe. Very much a work in progress.
Note: Unplug your phone from your pc for these processes until told otherwise. Remove any version of HTC Sync prior to 2.0.33 before doing these processes.
Might Need Apps:
HTC Sync for Android v1.5
HTC Sync for Android v2.1
USB Deview
Remove Old Drivers:
1. Start USBDeview by running the exe in the zip file
2. Remove any drivers which read like the following:
3. Reboot your machine
Installing The Correct Drivers:
1. Install the latest version of HTC Sync (2.0.40 or 3.0.5422)
2. Reboot
3. Right Click on Computer in your start menu and choose "Manage"

}
4. Select Device Manager on the left hand side.
5. Plug your phone into the PC and let the drivers install (you should see changes in device manager in real time). Under "ADB Interface" you should now see "My HTC" as seen in the picture.
This is correct and you should move onto the "Bootloader Drivers" section below. If you don't see this then carry on.
6. Right click on whatever you get under "ADB Interface" and do the following:
- Choose Update Driver Software...
- Browse my computer for driver software
- Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
- Have Disk
- Browse
- C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64 (last folder may be different)
- Select "androidusb.inf"
- OK
- Next
- Finish
You should now have the correct HTC Hero drivers installed. Move onto bootloader drivers section.
Bootloader Drivers:
Note: assumes you have the latest version of HTC Sync installed prior to doing this and have followed the driver process above to arrive here.
1. Switch off your phone and then hold Volume Down when you press the Power On button (Vol Down + Power).
2. You should have a white screen with some coloured text and 3 android's on skateboards. This is bootloader mode.
3. Now plug your phone into your pc and watch device manager change (this can take a minute or two). If "ADB Interface" doesn't show up or you get an "Unknown Device" error (perfectly normal - i think) then press the Back button and wait a couple of minutes then press volume Down again. This switches to Fastboot mode and back to Bootloader mode. AFAIK the drivers are the same so you should be able to do this process in either mode. You should get the driver "HTC Bootloader" or similar in your device manager. You need to repeat the steps above to change that to My HTC instead.
4. Right click on whatever you get under "ADB Interface" and do the following:- - Choose Update Driver Software...
- Browse my computer for driver software
- Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
- Have Disk
- Browse
- C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64 (last folder may be different)
- Select "androidusb.inf"
- OK
- Next
- Finish
You should now have the correct HTC Hero bootloader drivers installed. This will allow you to correctly install a RRU from HTC.

Brilliant guide! I have added it to my sig!

Nice one, thanks

Wow this worked 100% installed perfectly

Thanks for all your work !

I followed all the directions and disabled the driver signature verification on my Windows 8.1 computer. I have a problem that when I plug in the phone to the computer (with the phone off) the computer recognizes it for a few seconds and then it does not anymore. I get the boopoopoop sound to incidate it is connected and the boopbum noise five seconds later indicating that it is off. Can anyone help?

If you can access adb (turn on debug mode in developer settings), then try my method above. No need to use preloader driver.

Thank you. I tried but the phone is not recognized as ADB. I have usb debugging checked and it still does not work. I even have all the drivers installed. Any suggestions?

Try with another computer, it must be windows 8 fault.

i had the same issues when i first tried flashing the device, some moderator in the eleforum stated that's normal for the phone to act like that, because it will just detect to flash for 1.5 sec and then jump into charging mode
do this steps and should work fine
1 - DO not connect the phone to the computer
2 - open the flash tool
3 - look for the scatter.txt file that you want to flash "either rom or recovery"
4 - click download on the top
5 - once the processes above have been done, connect the device and it will start the flashing process.
you are done.

Worked fine here (added some steps), did not install it from sd card as it is still in the old phone :
choosed install zip from last folder and then move to the folder where it is ( vol + /- to scroll down, power to validate). I put it on download folder (on the phone memory), but of course you can put it anywhere you want !
Very smooth install, thx for the great tutorial

Help me
Followed all your directions, when I click on download, nothing happens

yeah same here when I press "Download" nothing happens (Windows 8.1 x32)

If I use one of these methods to root my P7000, enable Link2SD and then unroot it, can I retain the Link2SD features?
I want to be able to install/move apps onto the SD card but I don't really want or need a rooted phone in the long term.

Re upload recovery:

(without the spaces)

Hi, could you anybody please reupload files with CWM and Supersu.zip? The link doesn´t work
Edit: Sorry, the link is working, error in my browser

download link has broken. T_T

I've got " the load scatter file is invalid" is there any way to get through this problem? I've already tried different versions of SP flashtool still got the same. Files downloaded from Devblaze who reuploaded them! The first post's links don't work.

[Tutorial] [SP] [Windows] Installing all drivers

Driver installation for the Xperia SP (on Windows)
For Windows 8, 8.1 or 10 (skip bcdedit stuff if you are on Windows 7, Vista or XP):
Since Windows 8, Microsoft added a new "security" feature where unsigned drivers do not get installed. Our phone drivers are not signed that's why I didn't manage to install FlashTool drivers. You can "bypass" this by enabling test-signing mode. Just follow these steps:
Right-click on the start menu, select command promt (as Administrator) and enter this:
Code:
bcdedit -set nointegritychecks on
bcdedit -set testsigning on
Now you can install all unsigned drivers.
ADB Drivers
ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge and can be used to interact with the phones file system.
Download the Universal ADB Driver from here. Your device needs to be connected while installing the drivers.
Flashmode and Fastboot Drivers
Flashmode is used to flash firmware (Pre-installed Sony "ROM") and kernels (Pre-installed Sony kernel).
Fastboot is mainly used to flash kernels and system partitions. But it also has other powerful tools.
You should have FlashTool installed, if not download it from here and install it. After installing FlashTool open it, wait until it's done loading and close it. Now follow these steps:
1. Open the folder where you installed FlashTool (usually in C:\FlashTool\) and go in the "drivers" folder and open the "Flashtool-drivers.exe" file.
2. Select "Fastboot" and "Flashmode" drivers and click on install. Select "Install anyways" when asked.
PC Companion
PC Companion installs all official (USB) drivers and has many features like importing/exporting contacts, photos and a lot more. But in this tutorial I will only show how to install the drivers
The driver will get installed once you plugin your phone (without Flashmode or Fastboot). Download PC Companion from here.
Now connect your phone (without Flashmode or Fastboot) to your PC via USB while FlashTool is open. Wait a moment (30 seconds) so FlashTool can find your device and install phone-drivers and after that close FlashTool and also disconnect your phone.
Now open the command promt again and enter this to disable test-signing mode because it isn't very safe to keep test-signing mode enabled as other malware-software can be installed.
Code:
bcdedit -set nointegritychecks off
bcdedit -set testsigning off
Now you have all drivers installed. Disconnect your phone from your PC or charger. Now shut down your phone:
For unbricked phones:
Hold the power button and select shut down.
For bricked phones:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Take off the back cover and hold on the "Off" hole.
Button Pressed and hold for 5 seconds | resets the battery, its like removing the battery and putting it back in.
Button Pressed and hold for 6-10 seconds | will power off hard, device will power down (wait until it vibrates 3x and quickly let go).
Your phone must be off Now you have the option to:
Go into Flashmode and flash stock firmware (to recover if you are bricked or if you just want your stock firmware back):
Open FlashTool
Hold the volume up key (don't let go) and connect to your PC. If you see a green light, you did it right.
Go into Fastboot mode and flash a custom kernel (with recovery):
Open FlashTool
Hold the volume down key (don't let go) and connect to your PC. If you see blue light, you did it right.
Boot normally:
Hold the power button for 3 seconds and boot normally.
If I helped you, leave a "Thank" and if you have a question just ask

Nice method.
There's also an alternative where you go into windows 8's recovery menu. ( for me its spamming F8 during start up.) There you can choose an option called change the way windows starts up or something and can disable driver signature check for that one particular boot.
But, nevertheless this one is a better and easier way

# Updated
This thread only showed how to get into "Testsigning" mode to install the drivers on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. But now I've added the installation instructions for ADB Drivers, Flashtool/Fastboot drivers and USB-drivers and the instructions for the usage.

New version of drivers works fine. Link in first post is old. Check actual version at http://adbdriver.com/downloads/

Links and commands updated.

I bricked my xsp while following this method.. When i turn on my device the LED bar lights up rather strange colour, before shutting itself down again..

Man, thanks a lot
Btw, for me, testmode got activated only after rebooting my PC. I think it's good to mention, as I was stumbling for some minutes.
Peace

Install Google Apps from another Device

Purpose
This guide is for anyone that does not want to trust downloaded APKs from someone else's guide. This guide is intended to walk you through the process of exporting the necessary android package files (APK) from a device you already trust with your Google credentials.
Requirements
- Android Development bridge. (ADB)
- An android device with working Google apps
- MyAppSharer and OI File Manager installed on Android Device
- Kindle Fire ADB drivers installed on PC
- APKs
- com.google.android.gms.apk
- com.google.android.gm.apk
- GoogleLoginService.apk
- GoogleServicesFramework.apk
- com.android.vending.apk
- Optional
- org.openintents.filemanager.apk
- com.lastpass.lpandroid
Notes
I tried this with APKs from a Galaxy Note 4 running Android 5.0.1. This failed to install GoogleServicesFramework with the error of `INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT`. I feel that this Fire OS is based on an older android version, that will require older APKs.
The devices used for examples in this guide:
- VZ Droid Razr HD running Android 4.4.2
- Kindle Fire 7 (2015 Edition) Running Fire OS 5.1.1
Assumptions
- Android SDK tools is installed on a Windows 7 PC
- The source of the Google APK's is guide is called the Android Device
- Your target Kindle Fire is not rooted and freshly wiped.
- That you know what APKs are and what they are used for.
- That your computer is already setup to talk to your Android device for file transfer.
- the ADB command is accessible from the command line. ie. `\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools\` in your PATH.
- You will allow the Play store to update any components it deems necessary.
- ADB drivers for Kindle-Fire are working on your PC and USB debugging is already turned on.
- Fire OS 5.1.1
Directions
1. Create a directory on the Android Device in Download called PlayApps.
2. open MyAppSharer on the Android Device and type near the magnifying glass. This should filter the list.
note: "Ensure that the switch is on APK and not Link.
3. Select the Google Play Store and Google Play Services apps. Then Tap the < share button.

Am i able to remove all the apk´s in case of using warranty? How to do it?

Google Nexus 4 MTP mode not recognized by Windows 10 (Manual Fix)

Hello N4 Owners/Users.​
lately I've been working on IOS & iCloud Activation Lock Security, which is a Job I honestly do not wish you have, because is not a great business at all but, going more deep in this post I'm glad to post it because I've been trying to send iCloud Accounts stored on a PDF at my Nexus 4, a device that I've purchased last month at eBay and is incredible how this device with Unofficial ports runs faster and without bugs, of course using PURE Nexus ROM.
first things first, I must specify that I was sideloading ZIP's, APK, ROMS through ADB SIDELOAD commands, so that the first sign of a properly working USB Port, I didn't noticed yet that I was unable to set up my device as MTP and transfer photos or WhatsApp Folder to my PC.
2 weeks later I've noticed that MTP was not working, even changing "Charge Option" to "Transfer Files" so I just put my knowledge on going, the first thing was download the USB driver at Google SDK webpage, which delivers USB Drivers apart instead with the whole SDK, I've just proceed to download it, I've installed it and for my surprise the MTP was still not working...
what do now ?​
Steps:​
1. Download the proper driver designed by google
Google Nexus 4 Drivers.
2. Make sure your PC is not on secure boot, for this you should reboot your PC and enter to BIOS Setup to make sure secure boot is not activated, if it is, please turn it off.
3. reboot again and let your PC boot, you may notice that the boot sequence UI display a little messed up, but is normal.
4. go to UWP Settings and Select "UPDATE & SECURITY"> "RECOVERY"> "Advance startup" and hit at "Restart Now"
5. your PC is going to restart again & you'll see a menu of likely 10 or 9 options, we need deactivate the option 7.
7). Disable Driver Signature Enforcement.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
doing this your PC will restart again or maybe it just boot the Windows or UEFI Logo.
6. Find & Run CMD as administrator and execute the code below.
bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Restart your PC Again.
wait, you need the MTP or really are you craying for such restarts?
okay, that's what I though.
7. Disable ADB on your device and connect it to PC, Open device manager and look for "Android ADB Interface"
8. Right Click on the device and select "Update driver", Select "Browse My Computer for driver software"
9. locate drivers folder you've already downloaded following this guide and after that, you must have this screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Select "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"
If are 2 MTP entries, install them and reboot your PC, and that's all people, MTP working.
Now go back at CMD as Administrator and set this
bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now Restart and enter at BIOS, restore secure boot, done!
Hit "thanks" button if this helped you recovering MTP Access and your PC at your N4.
