usb driver.zip for wi modem
Installation of HTC USB modem driver into Windows XP
I am sorry to bother here, unfortunatelly, I have a problem. I can not install the USB driver into Windows XP on my PC. If I open an inf file, no modems are listed. I have Win XP home CZ (Czech). What could be a problem? Bad driver? Is there another driver? Thank you very much for your answer.

unfortunately
these are for an XDA II ... so we are still at the
"How can we use XDA I as a wireless modem on WM2003 (except the DE version) ?" stage.
Anyone has options or solutions. I hate to carry another GPRS phone along the XDA just to connect my laptop.

This is a great howto document but my understanding is (and I have checked on my PPC) their is no wmodem.exe software.
The problem is as follows.
The entire wmodem is using rilgsm (and the radio software part) in order to work.
So from this poin it is impossible to make it happen.
What I suggested, but since my PPC programming skills are low, is to find a program that simulates a proxy on our XDA. Meaning that the XDA is used as a gateway from the computer.
The proper definition is, i think, "reverse passthrough".
The starting point can be the Remote Control software that display the XDA image on PC ...
Anyone has seen such app ... or has it in development ?

wireless modem
i had a standard german rom as i bought my xda, and there was also no wireless modem app.
but if you install another rom, like the wm2003 one, or the special rom from xda-developers, the wireless modem app is already installed.
my problem is, when i connect my modem after a while(about 15-20 minutes) or if i open more than one webpages at the same time, the modem doesn't work anymore, and i have to reset my xda. I have tried with another handphone(nokia 6800) and it worked properly. Does anyone knoe why this happened ?

there is one from microsoft. its called remote display control. but it only work with activesync, and if the activesync connected to xda, the internet connection from the xda won't be used, instead the xda will try to connect via your pc.
Small point... if you look at benmuliono's post it was for XDA2 not XDA1...
HTC USB modem driver
Good day,
about my post, there is a misunderstanding. There is no problem with XDA I or XDA II and wireless modem application (for the present). There is a problem with a driver usbmdm.inf and its installation into the Win XP CZ, because the USBMDM.INF file is not recognized as the driver by my Win XP CZ (HTC USB modem does not appear in installation window).
Thus, if the wireless modem application is running on the XDA, the info "new hardware is detected ..." appears. Then, I want install the modem into the system, but I am not succefull.
I try to make connection with XDA II of my friend, although I am an owner of XDA I (which is shown in left side). That is probably the source of the misunderstanding.
I am looking for somebody who has similar problem or has a working driver for my system and would be so kind to send it to me ([email protected]).
Thank in advance for your help,

xda as modem for laptop
After 3 months and 463 hairs later, I have finally figured a work-around for turning our xda (1)'s into a USB modem for internet access via GPRS. I will have it available for download on my website for only $20.00 beginning 7/20/04. it will be available through PAYPAL only. (I know this is worth a lot more than twenty dollars, but I wanted everyone who wants it to be ablle to afford it.)
how
how can you demonstrate this first.
this is interesting ... but a.f.a.i.k. it is not possible.
are we talking about any WM2003 ROM and only with the wmodem software ?
F.A.I.K.
it will be available for any english wm 2003 rom , (propriatary) software pkg,
I understand the skeptisism, but will not be releasing a demo or trial version. this has always been possible as I understand it, it has just been squashed by the manufacturers and software giant. just a couple more days and everyone will be happy.
DMW
good
this will be indeed great. i'm close to buy an expensive pcmcia GSM card for my laptop but this will be a great alternative.
can you tell me this:
* the pc will use all ports for connexions (not limited lika a proxy) ?
* will the receive function be disabled or when a call comes it just suspend data and allow call ?
* do we need to install software on xda and pc too ?
* are there any inconveniences from your point of view ?
* can you at least post some screenshots or anything "tangible"
* what transfer rate have you achieved ?
Thanks for your ideea and making it practical.
?
i guess that no news is bad news.
so be it!
XDAII i modem failure
hello frns, i am getting a strange error since 2 days it says"error:692,
hardware failure of the connecting modem"
i am using my XDAIIi PPC to access net on my PC. i have installed the HTC
USB modem for the device.
when i run the query it works fine and give erything in success but when i
try to dial it gives me the above error. i was able to connect it before
but now it is not working.
i am having airtel postpaid connection in M.P.
also before i used to get the connection light up in the wireless modem

usbmodem for xdaIIi
Thank you, got the USBMDM from here. the files above is still working. AFtet install it the setup is done till finish. No problem, it works on my ppc. Now I don't to worry getting into the net via my xdaIIi.
Wow, this is really great. I'm using the MDA Vario to connect to the internet.
Works great!!!
possible fix for "Error 692"
@puneet_84:
I too followed the installation instructions exactly, but had Error 692. After extensive web-searching, found the solution. Hope it works for you - it did for me. (But no guarantee!)
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=78789
On trial and errors testing out various config changes I found that the key cause of my XP popping out the Error 692 is when I disabled Modem Compression at any end whether one and not the other or both (meaning the setting at modem properties in the Control Panel and the modem properties in the Dialup networking sections).
The fact is Modem Compression must be enabled on the Control Panel modem properties for the HTC USB modem and the modem properties in the corresponding dialup networking configuration.

Hey Guys,
I'm running WM5, 1.50g for more than a week now.
Its simply wonderful.
there are some compatibiltiy issues witih the S/Ws now; but that'll be there. we were able to use this OS before the release thats the big thing.
I'm looking for two piece of info here.
1> Wireless USB modem is not working - does anyone have any idea? inputs on this? (i didnt try to mix this topic with non-woking buttons; hope thats okay and we can close the topic as soon as its resolved)
2> I'm on 1.50g now and able to use large amount of storage mem. I was running 1.60a earlier and cud not use large mem (just about 14M for storage) where I had to store all my email data and the loaded S/Ws. due to the space crunch; I had to come back to 1.50g.
As the 1.60a is faster (i heard so - cud not test and fall back to 1.50g imm.) and i'd like to go for that. Does anyone has got any idea how to make use of the 120MB memory in 1.60a to be used for my email storage and to be able to load S/Ws and data on it?
Thanks in advace.
Wireless USB modem on WM5
hey guys,
just reviewing whether anyone has contributed!
I saw another thread "Warning WM5 1.60a and Extended _rom" and I think, I can get around a way on how to make use of that 120mb program memory in 1.60a and i'll definitely going to try that once I hv the steps with me.
as regards the Wireless USB Modem; I think i'm the only person who's facing this issue or may be fewer ppl. if anyone's using I-mate PPC phone with WM5 with working application (wireless USB modem) please share ur configuration with me.
thanks.

I am also having a problem with the USB Modem... It says "com open error (8)"
hello Duan,
have u found any resolution yet?
Nope... And after searching around the net I still have had no success.
Hey Guys,
I'm switching back to the WM2K3 SE now. I think its high time; we do not have any idea about the USB modem functionalities that's most important while we use the device as a modem while away from home or office.
I was okay with Camera, Record and all other facilities not available. I'm not in for all those flashy features but I have to have my Voice and Data connectivity inplace thats more than important for me anytime.
So, Guys; please please let me know once we have a solution for the Wireless USB / BT modem.
Thanks.
Wireless Modem on WM5
Went back to the 1.60b now coz i thought I have now got the BT adapter / dongle.
However, I'm not able to use the BT wireless modem with the adapter itself.
as I said.. as soon as i start the wireless modem application the signal indicator doesnt show the cross mark on it and continue show the signal strength. otherwise I think my lappy is able to detect the phone and everything works fine except the modem application.
I downgraded to a couple of versions of SE now (I have now forgotten how many times I flashed my device - guys let me know if its harmful to flash the device multiple times - now a days its about almost everyday I flash my device, thanks to my exch servr that hold my data). I tried 2.20SE I also tried the latest one thats been converted to english by Buzz and tried to start the BT modem application - no luck - same symptoms.
and again I flashed my device with 1.60b (along with the DCR ). However, the BT modem or USB modem issue is not resolved.
I'd really appreciate if someone can help me with the Modem application PLEAZEEE - PLEAZEE.
THANKS A LOT IN ADVANCE --
Yeah forgot to tell ya - I'm using iMate Pocket PC Phone Edition.
Guys, please try this configuration on WM5 as bluetooth modem, remove any connection on 'My Isp', start wireless modem application & dial...
FYI, I use 1.06b rom & billionton usb dongle. Btw I can't determine which modem type it use (cell line / gprs / etc.).

while i have not gotten the wireless modem to work, i have successfully started and seen the connection icon turn yellow. having written that, i started getting the "com open error" after adding com ports under bluetooth set-up. deleting those ports under bluetooth eliminated the error for usb in wireless modem application.
separately, in order to see the modem in my phone & modem control panel, i had to press start in wireless modem prior to tethering the device to my thinkpad.
btw, i am running wm5 on a ppc6700 (cdma/ev-do version of the htc apache, i believe.)

After I posted ROM-cooking method to create new SoftBank flat-rate data connection, another Japanese X01HT user has found more easier way today.
I would like to introduce new method with respect for his great work...
Now you DON'T need ROM cooking!
Step 1. Unzip the attached file, and run either ConnSBM.CAB or ConnSBM_noproxy.CAB for your purpose.
ConnSBM.CAB: make a connection, overwrite WirelessMgr_Service.dll and enable hidden proxy (webopen.softbank.ne.jp:8080), it is fully compatible as X01HT's standard connection.
ConnSBM_noproxy.CAB: just make a connection (no WirelessMgr_Service.dll and hidden proxy installation).
The connection will be created, however password entry is still empty at this moment.
Step 2. Run ORE2cert.cab (self-signature certificate for WIFIwake.exe).
Step 3. Copy Out.xml and WIFIwake.exe into \Windows folder.
Step 4. Just RUN WIFIwake.exe from \Windows.
The password will be created into the connection made by ConnSBM.CAB.
To confirm whether success or not, check the connection "Internet > SoftBank", and click "Edit -> Next -> Next". If "****************" is shown at the Password field, the password has been successfully created.
Enjoy!
EDIT: Updated WIFIwake.exe as self-signed version. I've prepared Hermes and Universal version separately (the difference is internal string for each model name). For Universal, at least I could have successfully made the connection on the DarkForce WM6 for Universal.
Download ConnSBM_ORE2h.zip (for Hermes X01HT) or ConnSBM_ORE2u.zip (for Universal JASJAR) and try it again if the password is still blank.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: It seems to depend on CID...
To make this operation correct on non-SuperCID device, it requires to edit internal device name and CID. The attached file for Hermes seems workable for X01HT(Model: HERM200/CID: VODAK801) or SuperCIDed HERM200 device only, and for Universal, also only for JASJAR (PU10/CDL__001) or SuperCIDed device.
If you cannot create PW, you need to edit CID (01C798h-01C7A7h) using Unicode or UTF-16 mode of binary editor (for non-HERM200 or PU10 device, Model [01C760h-01C76Fh] also), and sign yourself... However, if you burn them into your cooked ROM, it may works correctly without edit binary (I've successed on my JASJAR, using original WIFIwake.exe from X01HT).
You can determine your CID using info 2 command of mtty.exe.
Too bad I alreday cooked mine...
great!!
it's perfect work on my x01ht with wm6lvsw edition!!
thank you
WOW! Amazing! Beautiful!
Thank you so much! I love it!
Will you understand the password?
Because it is necessary when using it from the personal computer as a
modem.
Doesn't work with Treo 750v
It seems this CAB utilize WiFi manager or something?
When I extracted the files from ZIP and executed the CAB, copy the Out.xml and WIFIwake.exe to \Windows folder and executed WIFIwake.exe, nothing happens. The connection Internet was created but the password is still blank.
Password Not Made in My hTc Universal
Hi Itamae!
Very Very Good Job!!
But Dont Create Password in my Universal.Of course installing According to the procedure.
Please Help.
My Universal is 02 Xda Exec

Nice, I was messing around and the wifiwake will not put the password without the out.xml file but I was able to edit the text in the out.xml (which was about 300 letter As) and add some more random letters in there and it created it. Anyone think they can decompile the exe and look for the actual password?
Succeeded New SoftBank AP!!
VeryVery Thanks Itamae!!
Exec ROM Changed SuperCID,I Succeess Created New AP.
Not only Hermes JPN cross bow has came!
But also Soft bank connection in defualt!

Same here.
But you can pass this by unchecking the "Internet proxy" under Setting->Connection->Softbank
You have to do this everytime you use Wifi.

HTC has realesed a Hotfix for TP's GPS problems...
Still haven't test it, but what have you, Chef's, to say about it?...
On HTC's Support page:
Software Download
This software is suitable for the following devices : HTC Touch Pro
Hotfix for resolving difficulties finding or locating a position when using GPS for HTC Touch Pro Release Date: 2009-05-25
If it is difficult to find or locate a position when using GPS, please download this hotfix to solve the problem.
Installation Instructions:
Follow the instructions below to download and install the hotfix on your device:
Make sure you have Microsoft ActiveSync® installed on your Windows XP PC or Windows Mobile Device Center on your Windows Vista® PC. You can find Microsoft ActiveSync from this link or Windows Mobile Device Center from this link.
Connect and synchronize your device with your PC via Microsoft ActiveSync® or Windows Mobile Device Center using the USB cable.
To download this hotfix select the hotfix below and the location closest to you then click Download.
Copy the hotfix, which is an .exe file, to your device. To install the hotfix, tap the .exe file and follow the on-screen instructions.
Note: If you perform a device hard reset, you will need to reinstall the hotfix after the hard reset.
So where did this come from? Would be nice to have more information than what you've currently posted, please elaborate..
In addition, most of the newer roms have the aGPS working, so the gps issue is a moot point.
Which GPS problem I wonder, I can think of 4, one being aGPS (which works great now after 5.08 AT&T)
There's also the issue of 'speed lag' and then the issue of 'position lag', and finally the issue of 3rd party gps programs not showing satellites/losing fix every xxx seconds/etc.
/me snags the goodies

Updated first post...
Anyone actually worked out what this does yet?
Ok, so this installs cleangpsdata.exe to \Windows (same ver that can be found on blackstone and other stock msm 72xx ROMS)
It copies a link into \windows\startup (same as the cleangpsdata package from blackstone does)
The functionality of the cleangpsdata program is simple, it opens the GPS0: hardware port and sends an IOCTL to wipe out the stored epheremis and other cached data in the chipset's NVRAM.
The problem this is intended to fix would seem to be extremely long startup times for gps (due to bad cached data that needs to be cleaned out)
With aGPS functioning it should have no effect; without aGPS it should only have an effect if your cached gps data gets corrupted for some reason and a quickgps re-download/re-inject won't fix it.
i'm wondering if it's works with WM6.5
So as a chef, would you recommend cooking in this fix and executing it in config operator or just cooking in clean gps and creating the startup link in app.dat??
Same effect either way (cleangpsdata as a package, i.e. from blackstone or this hotfix .exe)
I used to cook it in prior to aGPS being fixed.
Also, there's no relation to WM 6.5 with this hotfix, it talks to gpsdriver.dll, which is compiled independantly of the OS.
In addition, if you snag the latest HTC GPS Tool, there's a "Cold Start" menu option in it - sends the same IOCTL!
I do not use aGPS and am a bit scred to install this hotfix
I'm in Canada...I have no assistance server for AGPS...so would this help?

Check your \windows folder; you probably already have cleangpsdata cooked in.
are you guys (who are using this hotfix) having the data plan?
or do you have entire map saved on the storage card?
Not that I've bad reception but after all this time from htc to post an answer to gps issue I had to install it and tried it..
Did not tested yet, tomorrow will post if I see any difference! Maybe it will take longer, cause it cleans the gps data all the time i reset. Or am I wrong?
@zenithcoolest: I use maps always on storage card... Data Plan is expensive and it's impossible to use with frequency!

It didn't do jack-squat for me. Well, instead of getting a fast lock like I was getting yesterday, I had to wait five minutes. So it did do something.
I upgraded to Spiaatie WM6.5 v3 - I get this message when I turn on my hx2750 - 'Unrecognized Card'
In the HP Wi-Fi Manager the link status says - 'Driver Not Loaded'
and in the version tab all three fields in the wireless LAN Information say
'Driver Not Loaded'
I have tried reinstalling v2 which worked before - Same problem and not all aspects of v3 removed such as the start up screen.
I have installed a wm6.1 version and this still did not solve the problem.
I have also tried going back to wm2003 from the HP site and again still missing drivers.
NONE of these options have worked.
I have searched all sorts of forums and even though others have had this problem NO solution has been posted.
Is this a hardware, Software or Registry problem?
If will test any options provided as I would really like to get it working again.
Any solution found will be posted in detail.
Many thanks in advance.
It would appear that if you went back to WM5 and even WM2003 and it still does not work then it's possible its a hardware issue. You may be out of luck with software fixing it. I'm running it with no problem and have not heard of anyone else having these issues. Especially with every version of software.
Thanks for getting back to me. I guess I will try taking it apart and seeing if any wires have come loose.
I anyone has any suggestions as to what to look for that would be good.
or if anyone has any other ideas as to how I might fix this please let me know.
I might go in Ebay and see if I can get a cheep Compact flash wireless card but would prefer not to as I use that to store data and music on while I use the SD card for Programs and TomTom data
Thanks

File up0015.cab
Here is the file you are looking for.
I have seen the same problem with the "driver not loaded" message on my
HX2790. Solved the problem by doing a hard reset if I remember correctly.
Since I haven't used this file myself I must stress that using it is at your own risk.
The file was made by the great cook Yurrix and can also be found on his website. That is where I got it from.
Website is: http://all2me.blogspot.com/2008/02/15.html
Hope this helps.

Update
Hi
Many thanks for the file.
However unfortunatly it did not work.
In my settings screens it updated my Network Adapter list to include a SAMSUNG WLAN CF CARD (SWL-23x0)
Did a Hard reset after - Calendar + Message + Power and reset - to get to Formating PS screen.
Now Network Adapter list says HP iPAQ Wi-Fi Adapter
However the HP Wi-Fi Manager says
Status - Link Status - Driver Not Loaded
Version - Wireless LAN Infromation - Driver Version: Driver Not Loaded
F/W Version : Driver Not Loaded
MAC Address : Driver not Loaded.
I then ran the inbuilt self test. This seems to give a false result if I test only the Wi-Fi it hangs but if I test it with other items it says it passes. But i don't believe it.
I now think my card is dead as someone told me earlier.
But I had to try.
Thanks to all who helped.
Here is the 0016wifi cab made by Yurrix.
same problem
Same problem as above, but I tried switching wireless cards with another hx2795 (one that won't charge the battery) and found they both work (just not connecting through the software or possible hardware path). I applied both the xxx15 fix and the xxx16wifi fix and neither one works.
if I can't find the answer, I will just have to use one as a battery charger and the other as my pda. . .
if anyone knows of a fix, please let me know.

Hi,
I first tried the method below:
Is someone trying to develop a Custom ROM for the Huawei Ascend G600 (U8950D)?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943003
But the phones are not just different band versions, as mentioned in post 58 of the thread above. The T8950 is not kernal compatible with the U8950D:
http://www.jetdroid.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=106&t=8383
Indeed, the T8950 is equipped with MTK6517 dual-core processor, the MT6517 and MT6577 are the same, A9 architecture 40nm processor, clock ed speed is 1.0Ghz.

I don't pretend to have any knowledge about rooting phones, I just was able to find the correct information on the web. I spend two weeks figuring this out. So I hope I can save somebody else his time with this information.
this is how I did it.
UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER
--------------------------------------------------
the bootloader of the T8950 is not locked, so it does not need to be unlocked. Allight, step one done!
INSTALLING THE CMW CUSTOM RECOVERY TOOL
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The T8950 does indeed not have a fastboot mode. the CWM custom recovery can be installed by flashing the ROM using the Flash tool of Mediatek
tutorial: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/05/mt6575-flashing-tutorial.htmlthe correct files to use in the tutorial can be found here:
- SP_Flash_Tool_exe_v3.1224.01 --> http://www.mediafire.com/?c8lr368ceaqk7tv
- MediaTek DA USB VCOM drivers --> http://www.mediafire.com/?h0ytkyagj0kf89u
if all went well, you should have a different recovery screen now.

-----------
Tutorial: http://bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com/2012/02/complete-guide-to-clockworkmod-recovery.html
The fileto be used is:
- RootT8950.zip --> http://www.mediafire.com/?je47wz2ozjr7oth
After the update is finished, reboot . Now, you should see Superuser in your Huawei T8950 app list. You can double check if you have root, using the "got root?" app.-->https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.island51.gotroot
INSTALLING THE GOOGLE SERVICES
----------------------------------------------------------
Since the the CWM custom recovery tool is installed now and the phone is rooted, it's very simple to add the google services to the phone. I used the GAPPS of Cyanogen. You can find them on many places, e.g.
http://www.needrom.com/mobile/gapps-cyanogen/
choose the right version, most likely your T8950 will have android ICS 4.0.4
istallation is the same as installing the rooting ROM

Hey TeTTiweTTi!
I can not say how glad I am that you wrote this tutorial. It seems that this is actually the only tutorial on how to truly unlock the T8950 (at least for non russian-speakers )
Still, I'd have some questions:
How do you install the VCOM driver? I downloaded it, but I can only find .inf files.. How do you install them?
Did you flash the whole ROM or just a part of it, as shown in the tutorial? And what exactly happens when you flash the ROM? Are you able to boot afterwards? It seems to just install CWM - right?
How do you apply the update RootT8950.zip?
Help would be appreciated a lot, since you seem to be the only one who knows how to properly do it
Oh and btw: did everything work for you after flashing the ROM? Or did you encounter any errors?
Cheers,
amannn
Hi, it was indeed not so easy to collect these bits and pieces together
here an answer to your questions
1.
The .inf files are the drivers. There are two ways to install the drivers. One way is to right click on the .inf file and choose "Install". The other way is to start the process with SP Flash Tool and as soon as you plug in the phone a new device will be detected and you have the choice to install the drivers.
Also, it is very important to make sure that you click "Download" first before you connect the device. Actually there is a trick, below the sp flash tool, you will see something that says "USB". Click "Download" and wait for the "USB" to become "Searching". Once it is "searching" then connect the USB. SP-Flashtool should be able to capture it before it disconnects itself again.
2.
yes, you only flash a part of the ROM, so you don't need to have all the files in the SP Flash Tool. Only the ones mentioned in the tutorial. Your phone will boot normal, nothing will be changed yet. But now you will have the CWM custom recovery when you start up in recovery mode.
3.
the linked tutorial is quite clear. Let me know if you cannot reach the page or you encounter a problem.

Hey TeTTiweTTi!
Thank you very much again for your detailed explanation!
So i think I've installed CWM recovery successful. Therefore, I'm now working on the rooting part.
The RootT8950.zip file needs to be applied, using the "choose zip from sdcard" option from CWM recovery right? When I choose that option, I encounter the error "E:Can't mount /sdcard/". Also when I'm trying to create a backup, it says "Can't mount backup path.". So it seems that there is a problem with accessing the sdcard. I then tried the "mount /sdcard" option, but it also says "Error mounting /sdcard".
Did you have any problem like that? When my phone is booted up, there is no problem with accessing the sd card... Or is there a option how I can check if the sd card is inserted correctly? I guess it's internal and therefore impossible to even remove it..
Your help would be highly appreciated!
Many thanks in advance and best wishes,
amannn
EDIT: I was now able to upload the update with an external micro sd. Therefore everything works so far - thanks again
Similar phone mtk6517 svp s580
Hi
I have this. svp. Phone with ARMV7 ( see cpuz snapshot
)
It says mkt6517 with A5 cortex
I tried jnstalling all drivers linked here for ADB
but windows xp disqualified em as valid drivers for this hardware
Finally I got android device driver to install on
All 3 devices ( see pic- there are 3 devices
That show up )
I don't think this generic driver is the right one
So rooting this is still not done .does anyone hace luck with this device
Any idea ......? With getting the right driver and root
Procedure
I tried eroot too amongst other rooting s/w's

Hi sieger007,
It can be a little bit tricky to install the drivers, since it are .inf files only. But these are the driver files

This second way worked just fine for me.
You can find the drivers and tools also here
http://mt65xx-tools.4shared.com/
he password to login is bm-smartphone-reviews.blogspot.com.
But always make sure that you trust the sources of the ROM you download and know that it is meant for your phone. After flashing a wrong preloader, your phone will be completely dead (can't be powered on, it will not charge and won't be detected anymore by the computer) and there is no way to recover it.
In order to root you first need to install a custom recovery. In this case it is CWM.
hope this helps
still stuck in driver hell
thanks for your help . I had a previous Chinese MTK (MT6575 ARM A9 cortex ) phone , whose ADB drivers successfully installed when I installed the SDK .
Now this one is MTK6517 ARM A5 Cortex. and none of the methods ( #1 or #2 ) help, in those drivers being recognized.
By method #1 : Right click install - It maybe just copying the driver file to system folder and then on windows would auto detect it when the device is inserted -assuming there is a match .
Method # 2 : Uses the new h/w found dialogue . Not sure if invoking sp_tool is related anyways in invoking that dialogue . It shows up anyways - soon as you plug in the phone .
I could not get the driver files in with the blogspot password to be recognized . Kept giving me "specified location. does not contain info about your h/w msg"
I have the EXACT same problem with ALL drivers hunted on the net , that say MTK driver. Some files say MTK65xx some say MTK_USB_Driver etc.
the h/w ID's and instance IDs associated with the devices are attached .
USB\VID_1782&Pid_5d04&Rev_0229&MI_01
Now the driver.inf file did have one ray of hope with this mention ..wonder if that'd make it compatible with a modified inf file.
But I am lost about HOW to add the h/w ID info ( format and what specific data to add ) to the inf file -most data is of the form VID_eXXX something in that file ( see below quote )
MT6516 USB VCOM drivers\readme.txt
Code:
3. Customers can customize usb2ser_XXX.inf file.
There is a string in the file:
MTK6218 = "USB Modem Driver"
You can modify it for your product name, for example:
MTK6218 = "MY_PRODUCT Modem Driver"
The other perplexing thing is that there are 3 Devices that show up under XP device manager. I managed to get one of em installed as device "android phone" with driver "android ADB interface" from Google and can possibly manage to get ALL of em installed the same way since those device ID's are close ( the last '1' becomes 2 and 3 respectively ) in this
Code:
USB\VID_1782&Pid_5d04&Rev_0229&MI_01
After pushing all these device ID's as "android ADB interface" - and attempting to root- the android rooting s/w's will NOT work at the identification step , erring out with "ADP device not found "- conclusively indicating that those drivers probably did not work well and I ought to look around for better ones - something I am trying to address by this thread.
Lastly - sp_tool when you start it - it will ask for scatter file. The scatter file out there is for MTK6577 (vs my model 6517 ) . If I choose that file - it gives me a warning - yes it out - and click download - it will then just freeze doing nothing
after some more G-mining ( Google) - i found out that I have to stick my VID in that hardware ID's and create an adb_usb.ini file to get the device recognized. Will update on happened next

That's why I stay away from these little brands. It's very difficult to find good information for it.
found something !!! I hope this is perm and not "leased"

ADB driver issue
> adb_usb.ini needed oXXXX as device ID . Where XXXX is the ID that shows up on Device manager. This is detailed here
http://blog.fh-kaernten.at/wehr/?p=1182
after that there will be 2 yellow marks for the rest of the unknowns in device manager. for this you have to modify the .inf file to include the entire h/w ID strings. I guess that makes just about any driver get along with anyone unknown - so here I am not sure if showing them as the such h/w by changing the driver files - gives them the actual intended functionality or all it does it just makes the device manager look clean without yellow marks. Maybe someone could help expand the talk here
[
Code:
android_winusb.inf
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C01
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_01
/*ADDED*/
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_02
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1782&PID_5D04&MI_03
So with that - I get 1 ADB interface and 3 devices show up under "com and LPT" - alright that completes the drivers
ROOTING
I found this Chinese rooting program Vroot . I still have'nt figured out what exactly it means but it looks like it DID root that sucker after all. I tested with one app - root checker - got an dialogue in Chinese , asking me whether to give or not and I think I said Y but that app still does not say I have root. Its probably the apps thats at fault because I can get Linked2SD do ALL the stuff it would be doing running as root - .e.g force move programs to SD to free up space etc.
If someone out there can make English out of that and tell me if its mine to keep or leased out ( trial ) - that'd be damn nice !!!
ROMS
- WIP- when I get some more time

3G not accessible
Hi again,
so I've been struggling with another issue.
Somehow my T8950 isn't capable of connecting to the 3G network of my carrier. When I search for networks, only the 2G networks are being found.
Does anybody have a clue why that is and how to solve that problem? My carrier is from Austria and is called "tele.ring" which is operated by T-Mobile.
I'd really appreciate your help, since 2G is reaaally slow for data connections
EDIT: I just tried allowing my phone only to connect to 3G networks by using the Network app from Philipp Mangelow (which shows the same menu as if you dial *#*#4636#*#* as i just found out). This results into no 3G networks being found at all.. I thought maybe the problem occurs because I'm always connected in roaming mode. As I bought the phone in China, it seems to believe that i need to be in roaming mode to connect to my local carrier. However, I have a local SIM-card, so this is somewhat weird..
EDIT 2: So after some googling I've found out that China has the TD-SCDMA radio interface for 3G (at least China Mobile, and that's from where I've bought the phone), but in europe it's W-CDMA.. Remains the question how to change that (if possible at all)..
EDIT 3: So I've wrote an email to Huawei about the issue, and that's the reply:
Sorry that T8950 doesn’t support the W-CDMA mode.
Below please kindly check the frequence band of T8950 for your reference.
• GSM/EDGE：900/1800/1900MHz
• TD-SCDMA：A frequency（2010-2025MHz）/F frequency（1880-1920MHz)
So that means that there is nothing i can do about it?
Thanks and all the best,

No, unfortunatly not. this is not a software setting, but a different hardware chip. my t8950 also does not support 3G in Belgium
