I wonder how I can upgrade my x10 mini pro to android 2.1 from my linux pc. I don't have any windows box at all. I'm looking for somthing like htc-flasher, but for x10.
Anyone?
Well, I dont know if that would help, but i just updated in Linux through Virtualbox

Can you elaborate on how you did this? Because it wasn't possbile for me in VirtualBox, due to the fact that it didn't keep the USB connection.
I’m guessing he is using the non-free version of virualbox with usb support. I don't have a windows cd, so that’s no option.
Maybe the java tool posted in this thread forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826455 can be used on linux after some modifications?
Yes, that was a must.
To keep the USB connection you have to add it as a filter in the settings tab:
Without starting the virtual machine, connect the phone and go to settings > usb, select to add a filter and select the phone. I think that should work for PC Companion. If you plan to update with seus the usb device is a different one, so you should put the phone in flash mode and add the filter for the corresponding device. After the update, the name of the devices will change again, so you need to add new filters again.
Btw, I wasn't able to root through Virtualbox using Superoneclickroot but I think it was because I didn't stop PC Companion properly...

Yes, you also need usb support.
If you don't have any windows at all maybe you could try flashtools in wine...

This morning I had acces to a computer with windows, and I tried to root using Superoneclickroot and I ended up having the same problem as with Virtualbox (the program was running but it was stuck at a loop), but this time I tried Ctrl+Alt+Del > Manage tasks > Finish PcComapnion, and it automatically rooted. I think If I had done the same before It would have worked...
rooting the phone with linux works like a charm... you need the sdk from h t t p : / / developer.android.com/sdk/index.html (sorry i can't post correct links)... i haven't tried flashing it yet because i'm waiting for the official update in switzerland

exactly... as soon as i have 2.1 i'll post what method i used
This is driving me crazy. I am also trying to install the 2.1 update with virtual box (non-free 3.2.10) on Mini Pro.
I am unable to get a proper USB connection to the device although it shows in the filters settings when I boot the VM it remains greyed out.
Can anybody else report success?
Sony Ericsson deserve a big slap for this.
Update: Sorry to solve my own problem, but isn't this so often the way after you ask for help:
I had to add my user to the vboxusers group, after which the usb connection worked fine.

adb works great in Linux, both for 1.6 and 2.1, but the problem is there are no flashing tools available to update.
As for rooting the phone, the program I used in 2.1 (superoneclick) seems to be a gui for some batch process in adb, hence maybe reproducing all this steps in adbshell (pushing the necesasary files, running rageagaintshecage, getting the mountpath...) one could root the phone the same way...
It looks like the superoneclick author will add linux support in the next release.

Good, I hadn't seen that before. And well, looks like it's already supported. I just installed it,
you have to run the .exe file through mono. I tried and looks like working correctly, it detects the phone... but mine is already rooted so I'm not sure...

No he seems to set up VNC server on he's debian on phone and then connect to it from VNC client on he's Android OS.
Just a trick so he doesn't need any special drivers to use debian GUI on he's mobile phone.
Anyway, to install debian shell you need to have firmware that supports LOOP features. I'm not sure if I want to switch amon_ra.
Could anyone recommend such a firmware for HTC Hero?
Try linux img. You will need loop module
Got shell finally working
Many times people ask about flashing using other operating systems.
Well here is the answer.
http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
It's free!
Virtual box will allow you to accurately run Many operating systems such as windows on most PC operating systems without it effecting your PC partitions or causing any hassles.
Just install it, create a windows system
"you need a windows disk or backup windows disk image"
The operating systems supported are:
VirtualBox 4.0.6 for Windows hosts x86/amd64
VirtualBox 4.0.6 for OS X hosts Intel Macs
VirtualBox 4.0.6 for Linux hosts
VirtualBox 4.0.6 for Solaris hosts x86/amd64
I have used this often to run SEUS.

Hi all
I spent last 2 days working on Odin.. I wanted to emulate it on my Slackware Linux machine 'cause I don't like to boot Windows every time I need it! I have to say that the most of the time I spent on that was reserved to downloading the VirtualBox binaries tarball, which is about 80 MB (you know, here where actually I am I don't have a real internet connection 'cause it's not the place where I usually live, it's my parents home and I can't pay for 2 ADSL.. but this is another story.. ).
So, I installed VirtualBox and create a winXP emulated OS, I configured it just like the way I want and then I start to work on Odin..
What to say: it works like a charm! It's great!, really! Finally I will not reboot my laptop to start winZoZZ anymore!!
So I would like to ask if you are interested in such a thing: I can make a Tutorial explaining better all the step needed to make it work, if you like.. you know, writing a good How-to it's always a real work, so I'll do it only if someone cares about it..
OK, that's all, for now..
see ya!
I would love to know how you got Odin working under VirtualBox.
I can't get past the point where I attach the usb device and get
Failed to attach the USB device Sasmsung MSM7x30 [0100] to the virtual machine XP.
Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device. (Error: VERR_READ_ERROR).

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi,
i found a solution for the problem! I have tested this under Ubuntu 11.10.
The problem is, that the wrong kernel module handles the usb device.
So unplug the phone from your pc. Unload the module cdc_acm:
Code:
modprobe -r cdc_acm
And blacklist the module:
Add to the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf the following:
Code:
blacklist cdc_acm
Now plug in your usb device again and voila, you fixed it =)
hope that helps somebody...
Thank you h44z, that solved my problem to. (SUSE)
Thank You!!!
I know we're just supposed to hit the Thank you button, but it just doesn't seem enough.
I've been frustrated by this since I first got my phone. Even thought about buying an old second-hand laptop just for Odin.
Your solution was also instrumental in helping me salvage a hard-bricked phone.
Thank you Thank you THANK YOU
Need to Reinsert Module for Printing
I don't have a working printer at home, so didn't realise this until I needed to print something out from VirtualBox this week at work.
It seems that VirtualBox does need the cdc_acm module for printing via USB.
Reversing the process was quite easy:
Shut down VirtualBox
Edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and either delete "blacklist cdc_acm" or comment it out by putting a "#" before it.
In a terminal, enter "modprobe cdc_acm" as root
Restart VirtualBox
Not sure if all that was necessary; perhaps just removing the blacklist entry would be sufficient. Anyway, I'm printing again and know how to get Odin working if I need it.
Phone not recognised
Hi,
I tried using Virtualbox under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS to emulate Windows Xp in order to use Odin (my device cannot be flashed with Heimdall). Thanks to h44z I can mount the device in Virtualbox, but I don't know which drivers I should install because Odin doesn't detect my phone. I tried Samsung USB drivers, then Windows detects Mobile USB Modem 1.0 and Samsung Mobile USB Modem. Then it says: "There was a problem installing this hardware (Samsung Mobile USB Modem)", and I Odin can't detect my phone. By the way, My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Y (GT-S5360).
So, my question is: Which drivers should I install in order to be able to use Odin via Virtualbox?

Hi again,
Well I found the solution ^^. I deleted the machine (in Virtualbox) with Windows XP and I installed a Window 7 Machine. Then, I used the dirvers from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2038555
First I tried method one (as in the Windows XP machine) but it didn't work, so I used method 2 and it worked.
Hope this helps somebody at some time.

So I have a Samsung Vibrant(just got it recently) and I'm having problems when i connect it to the computer. It gives me an USB device not recognized on my windows 8 computer. I have spent all morning searching and reinstalling drivers and trying my old pc and new cables and i found out that my old windows 7 computer with 4GB of ram and an overloaded hard drive will detect my device the problem there is it not my main computer and i dont want to have to connect all the vga cables boot it up connect mouse and ect to use this computer just to be able to copy files, and do other things from my computer to my phone I dont know why my main computer dell inspiron windows 8 will not work when it was a couple of days ago when i had a problem with conectivity and had to flash back to stock but now it wont connect. could someone help me? Here's a list of things i've tried
installing kies
installing adb again
aoi tool and then drivers
a bunch of diffrent drivers found on the fourms
diffrent usb cable
i would like to be able to do it on my main computer but its not working if someone could help that would be great
also please dont hate on me for having windows 8 jk i dont care :good:
I'd have to say that your drivers are all scrambled. Look up "android SDK" here on xda and install that for a bigger variety of drivers. Or just download Google's USB driver and manually install it through device manager which always works for me. Windows 8 is new and very complicated.

Android SDK is installed in the main drive right? local disk c?
You have to click the folder (usb_driver) and then click update.
In the android sdk folder there should be and exe file called SDK manager. There you will be able to download all the drivers for your current android version also the latest Google drivers and SDK tools etc.
I was stuck on this process for a long time because it allways works different for everybody. Just keep me posted on what you do I'm more than glad to help.

So what exactly happens when you click update? What does it say?
Is your PC up to date? (update wise)
Do you have the the drivers for the phone itself like samsung drivers?
And did you try rebooting your PC after installing your drivers? <-- that is important. You should always reboot after install or uninstalling drivers otherwise you'll end up scrambling them.
From the pictures it shows you have the drivers but I'd also try going deeper than usb_driver, try clicking on i386 or amd64.

OK make sure there are no HTC drivers on your PC. When you hook up your phone does USB storage work or anything like that?
Check those out and then I want you to go to Google, download pdanet latest version via pc (dont install yet) and go to the play store and install on your phone turn on USB debugging and the install non market apps and hook your phone up to the computer. Then install pdanet via PC and see if that works. HTC drivers get in the way of Samsung's BTW.

I want you to uninstall all your Samsung drivers(not android SDK) under control panel/uninstall programs. If you see something like Samsung kies definitely uninstall it. Reboot your computer and follow this guide for windows 8:

After this if it doesn't work I'd recommend pulling out your old computer for android modding lol. I'll still look up some threads for your problem. Let me know what's going on after that. Make sure when you follow that guide your phone can not be plugged in the computer. And when you plug your phone into the computer after everything is done and after you reboot your computer for the second time, USB debugging has to be off and when phone is done unplug and turn back on USB debugging and plug back in and wait for that. Adb should work.
[Edit] you can also try running your drivers in windows 7 compatibility. Sorry I couldn't help much.

I think I know what the problem is. Make sure you uninstall all the previous drivers, then have the correct drivers ready.
What you have to do is to disable driver signature enforcement.
Step 1. Go to the right bottom corner of the desktop and wait for the side menu to appear. When it's there click on the gear icon with the title "Settings".
Step 2. Now click on the entry "More PC Settings", then click on the entry "General".
Step 3"Restart now" (under "Advanced start up ") and click it.
Step 4. Now click "Troubleshoot", then "Advanced Options" and after that click "Windows Start up Settings".
Step 5. Click on "Restart" and wait, then on the next screen press F7.
You will now reboot, and try now to install the drivers (by manually selecting the folder in device manager).
I'm not sure what is the correct drivers for you.

I think I know what the problem is. Make sure you uninstall all the previous drivers, then have the correct drivers ready.
What you have to do is to disable driver signature enforcement.
Step 1. Go to the right bottom corner of the desktop and wait for the side menu to appear. When it's there click on the gear icon with the title "Settings".
Step 2. Now click on the entry "More PC Settings", then click on the entry "General".
Step 3"Restart now" (under "Advanced start up ") and click it.
Step 4. Now click "Troubleshoot", then "Advanced Options" and after that click "Windows Start up Settings".
Step 5. Click on "Restart" and wait, then on the next screen press F7.
You will now reboot, and try now to install the drivers (by manually selecting the folder in device manager).
I'm not sure what is the correct drivers for you.
But try this. It's still worth a shot.

You can install a clean copy of windows in your Yoga Book using the ISO from Microsoft and these drivers.
You will need a USB OTG cable and a USB hub to connect a keyboard, a mouse and a USB drive to your Yoga Book.
You will need three USB drives. One for creating a rcovery drive (16GB), one for windows Installation (8GB), and one to hold the drivers.
- Make a recovery pen drive before you modify anything. This will allow you to restore the device to its factory state, in case you need to return it or are not happy with the results of your modifications:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/instantanswers/3a747883-b706-43a5-a286-9e98f886d490/create-a-recovery-drive
Keep this drive safe and use it if you want to restore your Yoga Book to a Factory state.
- Download a copy of windows and make a USB bootable drive:
https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/software-download/windows10ISO
- Download the drivers and put all the files in a pen Drive. These drivers are from september 2016, posted by UweThelen63 at the Lenovo Forums, looks they deleted the post, here is a copy I made:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxTLcy78OveNUW1KVk9iN3lBS2s/view?usp=sharing
To install windows, put in the USB with the ISO, boot the Yoga with VOLUME UP + POWER button, choose boot manager and select USB UEFI.
Follow the windows 10 installation to the end, you'll get a couple of black screens, just wait. The display will be rotated, use the USB mouse to navigate.
When windows is installed, use the Drivers USB, extract everything and start an Administrator command line ("windows key" + "X", "m"). Go to the folder where you extracted the drivers and run "startmodule" for each driver. Start with the Intel Cherry trail drivers.
I haven't installed the LenovoShutDownHelper yet. I don't know what it does.
You'll have to go into the display settings and rotate it to 270º when the Intel graphics drivers are installed.
For me, everything works except the haptic feedback for the keyboard. If you find ahow to make it work, please, let me know.
I don't know how to install the Dolby programs. Any idea?
thats all great but how do we install it if we have the android version of the yoga book?
Need unlocked bootloader.

We need unlocked bootloader, however, I think its not developed yet.
Anyway,when bootloader unlocked, android users can install windows because of dproldan's contribution!
I'm going mad because of android's humble multitasking interface! I really really hope Nougat releases ASAP!

Sorry. I don't know... I tried to unlock but, at that time, I recognized there is no custom rom or bios and I can't build that. So I gave up to trying...
I believe some hero will lead us...T^T
First, let me thank you for those drivers... I can't believe Lenovo is removing the drivers from their support site and forums. Mind-boggling.

I'd like to know how to install the Dolby programs as well.
That said, to enable the haptic feedback you have to either fix the startmodule.cmd in the immersion vibrator driver folder or manually install it. The .cmd file doesn't set the paths right for the files it needs to copy.
To manually install it:
copy to %windir%\system32 :
Code:
touchsense.dll
touchsensed.exe
(maybe vcruntime140.dll... on my windows 10 it already existed)
then make the folder touchsensed (still in system32, so after it will be %windir%\system32\touchsensed)
copy to this new folder %windir%\system32\touchsensed :
Code:
license.param
tuning.param
then open an admin command prompt and do:
Code:
sc create TSSvc binpath= %windir%\system32\touchsensed.exe start= auto DisplayName= "TouchSense Service"
sc start TSSvc
sc failure TSSvc reset= 0 actions= restart/1000/restart/1000/restart/1000
After that, reboot... and on next boot you should have haptic feedback.
thank you. I reinstalled everything again and did that. Haptic is working now.
Dolby also installed by itself. Probably has something to do with the order of installation. i did the cherry trail drivers first and then the rest, with a few reboots between them.
How did you get the product key or did you have to get a new one?
In my case, Windows activated itself if I connected to WiFi just after the language selection display. I guess the key is stored in the BIOS/UEFI/Mother board.
I don't have a Microsoft account.

I heard win 10's activation is related to M/B.(Maybe from win 8's tablet edition?)

Just loaded a fresh install of Win 10 and it activated on its own. Thanks for the info.
Has anyone got the Automatic System update to work? On Lenovo's website I click 'Start Scan' -> Install the Lenovo Support Bridge -> Then it starts to scan but never gets past 0%
can anyone explain how to install windows 10 on an android version of Yoga book?
who has the ROM of Android version within Google service ? Plz send me one, thank you so much !
hello all...
i have a trouble to clean install my windows yoga book (YB1-91F). Basically i have done all the preparation, driver, windows on usb. Even i make sure i've created bootable usb flashdrive. But everytime i go to boot menu there are no UEFI usb option, there are only greyed boot EFI and boot windows option. i have try to load from advance startup option inside the windows, but in the end it only show "the system doesn't have boot to EFI". so it kind of stuck for me. Even if i choose reset my pc, it always says there are trouble reseting my pc, no change were made.
i want to reset my yoga book, because i've been infected by some malware, and i think my internal storage and windows registry is somewhat junked.
Ups, sorry... i've solved the problem. Eventually I use MBR for the bootable flashdisk where it shoud GPT format... now, i'm clean installing my yoga book. Crossing finger, hope all goin well.

you should start command prompt as an administrator.
- click start
- type cmd
- right click cmd, select run as administrator
- continue to each driver folder
- run startmodule.cmd

you should type command completely with the extension... it's should be "startmodule.cmd" inside each folder of the driver
When I installed Windows 10 again, Windows Update did most of the hard work with installing drivers. So as long as you can get an internet connection by installing the wireless drivers (try using the Device Manager > Search for drivers on this PC) you should be good.
