Windows 8 can't install recovery mode ADB Drivers

If this isnt in the right spot please move it there, but I ran across this issue and figured I'd share the fix.
I kept getting Device Not Found in ADB while booted into Recovery so I followed the steps here:
http://blog.dantup.com/2012/10/fixing-adb-device-not-found-with-nexus-7-in-recovery-mode
Problem is, if you're on Windows 8 editing that file will cause a hash mismatch not allowing you to install the driver.
To go around that, follow these steps here:
http://www.windows7hacker.com/index.php/2012/09/3-ways-to-fire-up-windows-8-advanced-boot-options/
Once inside the Advanced Startup menu, click Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, then Windows Startup Settings. Hit Restart Now and when it reboots into those settings hit the number 7 to Disable Driver Signature Enforcment. Once you reboot try installing the modified driver again. Should work.
all of that is not needed. Just install the windows 8 drivers:
http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/Nexus7/usb_driver_r06_windows.zip
Unzip the file to a folder on your computer
When you connect your nexus to your computer you will have to go into the device manager. You will see the Nexus listed there with a "!" (assuming you had the previous drivers installed)
Right click, select update driver and point it to the folder you unzipped the file above into. After that adb and fastboot work fine with win 8. No need to jump through all the hoops.
Oh good to know.
Thanks! Feel free to delete this thread then.

Not for me I had to use the ASUS files for ADB in Windows (yeah, 8 and 64bit), although I had the Univ. Naked Drivers installed already. But in fastboot Windows didnt want to recognize the device and it didnt let me install the ASUS r6, the Google original ones or the Univ. Naked (The last ones because of the hash), so I had to go into advanced startup and do the steps mentioned in the OP. (Damn Win 8 )
For fastboot/adb in fastboot mode you need to disable driver signing, this is an other way to do that :
Command Prompt (as admin!)
Disable driver signing :
bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON
Reboot
(on your desktop you see the watermark : 'Test mode' This is permanent, even after every reboot till :
Enable driver signing :
bcdedit -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Reboot

hmm that's odd. I was having the issue with the normal driver (win 8 64bit) and the normal driver would fail to reinstall(as many reported). I downloaded the one I linked to and updated the driver in device manager and adb and fastboot worked without doing anything else.

Dude, thank you so much for that download link. I have been going out of my mind trying to get this device recognized in adb/fastboot on windows 8. Your tips/download worked perfectly. Thank you
I can choose only the MTB USB device when I try to update Nexus 7 driver

I wanted to root my Nexus 7 device on the basis of a tutorial (links not allowwed yet )
Downloaded the Asus driver.
I choose the "Update Device Driver Software"option from Device Manager on Nexus 7, pointed to the installation folder on my computer ".. \android-sdk-windows\extras\google\usb\android_winusb.info" file, but the model window shows only the MTP USB Device, instead of the list of Android ADB Interface, Android Bootloader Interface and Android Composite ADB Interface.
The winusb.info file contains info for these drivers. If I point to this file, get an error message:
"The folder, You specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
The host computer able to connect to the device, and I can list the folders, but the fastboot doesn't work.
Does anybody has a solution?
Thanks in advance

[TUT] [100% WORKING] Install leaked WP 8.1 SDK on your PC!

EDIT: Windows Phone 8.1 is released! You can now download the official SDK from here
Hey,
the installation of the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK leak was discussed here very much, sometimes it works, sometimes not.
So I written a tutorial how to install it!
How to:
1) Download the SDK ISO from here ALL OTHER LINKS WILL NOT WORK!
1b) Download Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows in English from here
2) Extract the VS 2013 ISO and install it.
3) Extract the leak ISO and run the installer as administrator.
4) The installation should take an half hour. You can drink one or two coffee
5) Start cmd as administrator and run "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.1"
6) Enter "XDE.exe -vhd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.1\Emulation\Images\Flash.vhd"". First boot will take 5-10 minutes.
7) THE EMULATOR IS WORKING!
You can also create an shortcut on desktop that saves you time. Location is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.1\XDE.exe" -vhd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.1\Emulation\Images\Flash.vhd"".
FAQ
How to install it on windows 7?
You need to install SP1, then it should work.
After clicking the VS link, a logon field appears, what should I do?
Just login with your outlook account and click download
Can I run it on 32-bit?
Yes, you can. You need to install VirtualBox or VMware. Create a new virtual machine and select the Flash.vhd in the SDK location. To get it to work, you must run it as administrator.
What are the minimal requirements for it?
It works on any computer with 64-bit W7 or W8(.1) For 32-bit look above.
If this guide helped you please press thanks!
Thanks @DaviUnic for a easier way to start the emulator!
Yes, I'm seeing my tutorial was landed in the news! Thanks at all what thanked me and followed this tutorial!
hey nico
There's easier ways to start the emulator than deploying an empty app... You can use the following command in CMD to start a desired VHD: xde.exe -vhd "[vhd location]".

Thanks, already tried this, for 8.1 emulator, it didn't works
Last time I tried it worked...
Hold on, I have to re-install VS2013 and the SDK, then I'll try again.
EDIT: Just tried and it works fine for me. Just go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\ with CMD and then type XDE.exe -vhd "C:\Example\Path\example.vhd" and it works fine.

Is there anyway to make windows emulators work on Android???
No, because the emulator uses Hyper-V - which is also why it requires at least Windows 8, because Windows 8 was the first client release to include Hyper-V (previously it was available only on Server editions).
Besides that, the build in the emulator is an x86 compile, and I don't think there's an x86 emulator for android.

So other than that I can run it on Windows 8.1 standard edition (no Pro)? Oh and, my download speeds are very slow. Mind if you host it elsewhere?
Yeah, I think you can. But Hyper-V isn't installed by default, so you must go to the features list and install Hyper-V first, then you can use the emulator.
Confirmed, only working on Win 8 Pro.
View attachment 2599789
You can, however, install any virtual machine software, then download Windows Server 2012, and run the VHD. Once you're in it and set up everything, you can follow OP instructions, install Visual Studio blah blah blah. (remember to enable Hyper-V in Ctrl Panel) Follow till the last step, then you should be able to open the emulator.
Where exactly am I going wrong? Can someone help

i managed to update my microsoft lumia 435 to windows phone 8.1 GDR2 in 2018!

as you all know you cant use the windows insider app on windows phone 8.1 cause it gives a server error and its unusable,
I have managed to get my Microsoft Lumia 435 to run the GDR2 version of windows phone 8.1 without using windows insider and the out of date registry hack (that is SO out of date now)
the steps only works for a Microsoft Lumia 435 (RM-1071 and the RM-1070 varients)
steps:
1) go to http://www.lumiafirmware.com/
2) type the following product code: 059W9P2
3) click on the firmware listed
4) then you will get a list of files DOWNLOAD ONLY THE FFU!
5) then rename the downloaded ffu flash.ffu
6) download the bsflash_ffuretail.zip linked below
7) extract the zip file on your desktop or any place you want, its entirely up to you
8) put the flash.ffu file in the zip you extracted earlier
9) run the flash.bat
10) wait 5 minutes
11) you have the GDR2 windows phone 8.1 up and running!
I did try it and it totally works 100%. touch screen works, battery works and wifi and Bluetooth works
any problems feel free to comment below!
I DID NOT MAKE THE ZIP FILE, CREDIT GOES TO NOKSER!
I will attach screenshots as evidence that it actually works for me!

How To Guide How to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro 1 or any other UEFI-only device

If you have tried to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro, or a UEFI-only device., you may have noticed it hangs on "Starting Windows" or gives error 0xc000000d, or you might have seen the following message:
The Surface Pro is a class 3 UEFI device, which means it has no Compatibility Support Module (CSM), which emulates the old BIOS environment. Windows 7 is not compatible with UEFI, which means without CSM, it wouldn't be able to function.
If you had to run Windows 7 on a Surface Pro, the only way would be to enable the Hyper-V feature of Windows 8 and run Windows 7 inside a virtual machine (VM). However, this would limit the resources available and the capabilities such as some of the touch/pen features.

However, this article proves that it isn't impossible to achieve this. This tutorial shows you how to install Windows 7 on a Surface Pro. This tutorial is meant for the Surface Pro 1, but could work on any other UEFI-only device, which it should, but not guaranteed.
ISO file link: https://archive.org/details/windows-7-surface-pro-1
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Boot the USB. This ISO uses a Windows 10 PE, but has a Windows 7 install.wim.
2. Open command prompt by pressing "Shift+F10"
3. Type in setup.exe /noreboot
4. Go through setup normally.
5. On the command prompt, type in "diskpart"
6. Type in the following commands:
sel dis 0
lis par
sel par 1 (where your boot partition is)
assign letter w
exit
7. Open up Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and copy the BCD file and paste it onto the Windows 7 partition.
8. Go back to diskpart by typing "diskpart" in
9. Type in the following commands:
sel dis 0
sel vol w
form quick fs=fat32
exit
10. Go back to Notepad, and click "Open" or "Save As". Enable all files to be viewed. Go to the USB drive, then go to the FlashBootPro folder, then copy the "EFI" folder.
11.Go to W:\ and paste the EFI folder.
12. Go to the Windows 7 partition and cut "BCD".
13. Go to W:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot and paste "BCD" on the folder.
14. Reboot. Setup should continue normally.
NOTE: For some reason, Windows will NOT boot if any USB devices are connected. Any time you boot into 7, you MUST disconnect them, boot into 7, then connect them again. Wifi is integrated but doesn't work. You will need to purchase a separate USB wireless adapter.

Proof of Windows 7 installed on Surface Pro 1:
bro i can not understand most of it, is there any more specified tutorial somewhere? or can you help me?
Should i use the iso link you gave?
Hi, I follow the guide and everything went good until i got the message:

Can someone help me?

At the last steps, you must replace the files at the hard drive where you installed Windows 7. You can do this by booting another OS, or making a live OS and then replace them on that hard drive from that OS.
