I see you asked this on the Dell forum too... with no responses, just like here.
Something is obviously wrong with the Dell Streak 5 as the other 6 phones is a (see my sig) I had no issue using them as a modem for my laptops via PdaNet. I need to know if I can use it as a modem for the Streak, are there any limitations with 1.6... and where to get the dang driver since the one from PdaNet won't work.
It seems to be impossible on the at&t model.
I have so far tried pdanet (usb driver error), barnacle legacy (can upload but not download), android-wifi-tether (apparently incompatible with 1.6), android wired tether (1.6), and one more that I dont recall the name of, which simply crashed.

What version of windows are you using?
I got mine working on ubuntu 10.10 without a hitch.

Win7 Ultimate
What is ubuntu 10.10?

A linux distrobution, it's an entire operating system, but you can get an installer that runs off a USB stick, probably too much of a circus if you're going to do it regularily.

william58 you aren't still running 1.6 are you?
Hoping to get some update from @AmyatDell as she is looking into it for me since no one at dell responded on their forums.

Finally got the driver loaded and PdaNet working.
A bit tricky, but if you follow the instructions I posted, it will work.
That post is here:
Getting PdaNet to work with Streak 5

PDANET
I would suggest you remove any drivers you have installed from Windows 7.
I was having the same problem and then heard about PDANET.
I couldn't even use fastboot because everytime I connected my Streak, Windows would try to install different drivers.
I read in another forum, pocketables I think, that installing PDANET would solve this.
So I uninstalled all traces of drivers and the Dell Sync also, installed PDANET and voila, no more problems.
So if PDANET isn't working for ya, you have a driver issue or there's something wrong with your Streak

If you would have read my previous post, you would have saw I got it working.
As for uninstalling the drivers and dell sync and using PdaNet drivers... that didn't work for me. Drivers would NOT install. So see my solution in this link:
Getting PdaNet to work on your Streak
Maybe the way you did it worked, but the variables may have been different as I'm running Win7 Ultimate 64 bit which could effect the kind of drivers etc.

Installing X10i drivers on Windows 7 help

Need a little help setting up my dev environment on Windows 7.
I had it working perfectly on my old PC running XP. I have since bought a laptop with 7 and am trying to set up a dev environment on it but am having issues with the drivers (at least as far as I can tell).
I have:
Android SDK installed - including all available components
Java 1.6 SDK and JRE installed - environment variable is set
SEUS and PC Companion installed
Rooted my phone to 026 using the original method - done on old machine
USB Debugging switched on on my phone
When connecting my phone, I get no option to install the driver. My SDCard also automatically mounts itself, which i'm not sure if that's related to my issue. Any ideas how to stop it from doing that?
When I try to update the driver software via Device Manager (browse to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER), I get 'Windows could not find driver software for your device'.
I've read through a few threads, particularly the rooting issues thread, and googled it in quite a few different ways with no luck. The closest I could find is XperiaX10iUser's post in this thread. Running USBDeview as mentioned, i can only see 'SEMC Flash Device' and 'Sony Ericsson X10i' that would be relevant. However, when I try to uninstall selected devices it does nothing (no error, just doesn't uninstall).
Running 'adb devices' returns a list of devices with nothing in it.
Any help/ideas would be much appreciated as i'm going insane here!
Are u maybe running 64bit win7?

Uninstall your Java and start from scratch using the 32bit versions of Java, and run USBDeview without the phone plugged in if you haven't done already.
Yes, I'm running 64bit Win 7.

I installed 32bit Java (1.6.0_20) and reinstalled all the Android SDK components. No change in symptoms.
I have run USBDeview with the phone plugged in and without.
i'm running win7 x64 and it works normally.
another day i tried install a theme (without have seus or pccompanion installed on my pc) and i had the same problem. after i installed pccompanion, it worked normally.
remember that you must have usb debugging on, to adb devices show your phone.

I definitely have USB Debugging on and PC Companion installed.
Where do the drivers for the X10i actually come from? The phone, SDK Drivers component, SEUS or PC Companion?
What am I missing?
Does anyone else's SDCard mount itself when plugging the phone in? It didn't do this on my old machine.
EDIT: I was able to remove USB devices using USBDeview. Just need to right-click and 'Run as administrator' (which is odd given that my user is admin). Didn't help me installing the driver though. Still can't find anything when pointing to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER.
My <sdkdir> is C:\Android\SDK. It shouldn't matter that it's not the default path should it?
EDIT2: Apparently, DoubleTwist has an auto USB mount option. Doesn't make a difference to the driver issue though.
Ok listen to this, it will seem a little crazy but i wonder if it will help
Install pdanet the desktop version ( its a program used for usb tether ) the idea is that this program installs the sonyericsson drivers with it, just follow the instructions of the installation process and tell me how it goes..

It aborts sometime when flashing system.sin and other sin depending on the tft file... i dunno what version my phone is but my pc detects it with flashmode.

Most of the links in xda our outdated. And i know my phone is outdated too. Thanks and more power

[Q] bricked my streak

got a streak as a gift a month ago - tried to update from stock 1.6 to 2.2 using guide on streaksmart.com - didnt work. now streak is bricked. no lights, nothing. looked all over online for days now and the furthest ive got is to try to access the quallcomm chip from the laptop but i cant, and i cant run the driver on it either, as told in the bricked streak pdf by ryrules. called dell and they cant help w/o acct name that purchased device - which i cant get (but thats a whole other story). cant even get a charge from what i can tell, qdl tool cant detect usb streak. im able to admit im out of my depth on this one - can anyone out there help?
If it helps, the dell streak service tag should be on the back of the phone when you remove the battery cover.
I phoned Dell today and they are picking up my streak for repair, no charge. And im not the first owner of the device either. Got mine from ebay. All they did was get me to boot into recovery, and try a factory reset. when it didnt complete, they just said they will fix it, for free thankfully.
I tried that - they won't transfer the device to my name w/o verification of original purchaser account name - and won't be able to issue a new free replacement w/o it. Not only do I not have that info, I might not ever be able to get it. thank you for the idea though.

That happened on my 1st attempt using QDL. Just unplug Streak, remove battery for @ least 1 minute, place battery & cover back on, hold the button closest to the headphone port while @ same time plugging cable back into Streak, then run again. 2nd time did everything for me. My computer did flash something about drivers installed successfully after the 1st fail, so maybe it installed what was missing. If this doesn't work, use a different USB port.

yes, i did but when i try to update the android adb interface under device manager on my laptop by directing the driver update screen manually to C:\dell\drivers\R288920\Win7 i get an error msg that says
windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device
windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it
the device cannot start (code 10)
seems to be a pattern im stuck in, i cant make it past here yet.
Nm - fixed it w help from irc #dellstreak - had to end up using 2 different qdl tools, but in the end - after a week long struggle w a bricked streak it finally came back on, with 2.2
Please help!!!!

[Q] "Waiting For Device" trying to flash StreakMod Recovery

I used the QDLtool to unstick my Streak so I am now on a pre release of 2.2. I am trying to upgrade to Steve's 1.5.3 but cannot even get the blasted streakmod recovery to flash as it keeps saying "waiting for device" on the cmd window but my Streak is in Fastboot_Mode. If I was able to fix my phone via QDL a few days ago then the drivers are all installed correct, right? I am running a 64 bit of Windows 7.
This is starting to overwhelm me...
I have played with W7 and drivers before. Other people have used W7, but it can be fiddly. If its possible, do yourself a favour and use XP.
Sounds like you still have drivers to install. I know I had to run an installation .exe file before the proper drivers were installed (XP).

Unfortunately, the only other pc in our house runs Vista. The computer I had before this one had XP but it had bad capacitors and fried the mobo.
I can't understand why I would need more drivers if I was able to use the QDLtool a few days ago with no problems on this same laptop. Who knows... they have minds of their own it seems.
Hopefully I can get it figured out bc its driving me insane!

trouble connecting win xp to froyo vibrant usb tethering

I installed the Axura 2.2.5.9 froyo rom, im a bit of a newb so I apologize in advance if this should have been asked in the Axura rom thread but I think its more a "general" question then rom specific.
Ok so I tried to get the froyo usb tethering to work on my pc, its win xp sp3. I had and still have Easytether installed and it works fine. Yes, I exit'ed out of Easytether on both my vibrant and pc before trying to stock usb tethering. I installed the proper drivers and turned on usb tethering. I downloaded the proper .inf file from android.com/tether or whatever it was.
The problem im having is, I cant seem to install the .inf file. When I plug in the usb cable nothing pops up to install new hardware. However, the very first time I plugged my phone in after installing froyo something popped up about new hardware buy me being me I closed out of it. The android faq site told me that when the new hardware pops up to select the .inf file I downloaded but I cant seem to get it to pop up again.
Can anyone help me? I also tried going to add hardware in the control panel and the phone/usb hub wasnt listed.
Thanks in advance!!
Nobody can help me????
Installed Froyo (vai mini Kies) on one machine and tried to tether on a different laptop. I had no luck with any of the .inf files I could find on the Samsung site or discussion boards. Installed the Vibrant Mini Kies for T-Mobile and the device installed automatically the next time I enabled tethering.
I used Kies_Mini_For_Vibrant_10095_9.exe (XDA will not allow a new user to post a link)
From what I know, the stock USB tethering in Froyo doesn't work with XP. It only works with Vista & Windows 7. I forget where I seen this, but I'm for sure it doesn't work on XP.
I can tell you (from experience) that tethering DOES work with Windows XP. The only glitch was getting the right driver, which is contained in the Mini Kies install.

Samsung Kies 2.3.3.12085_7_5 work with Windows 8 9200...:good:
I'm using windows 8 x64, I had no trouble installing the drivers.. I just put the phone in download mode and connected the usb cable and the drivers were automatically installed.

Hello all.
I too have Windows 8 RTM 9200 x64.
Kies 2.3.3.12085_7 INSTALLS fine, and the app RUNS fine.
Also, when I put the phone in download mode, Win8 DOES automatically find a device, but....
1. Kies can never find the phone (obviously not when in download, I mean in normal mode). Just keeps telling me to turn off debugging (which is not on!). Tells me: "Reconnect the device in Samsumg Kies (PC Studio) mode. Current connection mode not supported by Kies. Check USB settings."
2. Odin 1.85, 1.87 and 3.04 can never see the phone in download mode. Just nothing as if not connected.
For you guys who have it working in Win8, can you confirm that Kies can actually SEE the phone (running the app is the easy bit!), and that if you go into download mode, that Odin can see the device?
I can pass things thru on a virtual USB port to a Virtual Machine of Win7, but cant never actually get any functional use in (host) Win8.
Thanks.
EDIT: I downloaded Kies from Samsung page and it seems to be very slightly newer than mine, now version 2.3.3.12085_7_5. NOW, Odin CAN see the device in download mode which is what I really wanted for flashing purposes. Kies itself now no longer instantly complains about the USB setting, but iinstead just spins its wheel and never connects. But Kies stinks and never use it anyway, so not too fussed. Really just wanted Odin so that's cool.
Downloaded THIS Kies: http://www.samsungapps.com/about/onPc.as
Can you extract the USB Driver msi from the instllation and upload it here? Thanks!\
Edit:
Found it!

Now my Note is back under my Windows 8 64x RTM!
Interesting!
Your mediafire download LOOKS like the same version that my Kies installed, but when I installed your version over my pre-existing one, now Kies can see my phone!
Excellent!
Thanks!
Hope this all helps someone else too.

Using a 4 year old Dell Latitude XT2 that originally came with Vista on it with a fresh install of Windows 8. Love the device. Multi touch screen works right away and all features work great. Having a blast with Windows 8. Just need the right hardware and it is a perfect operating system. Best of both worlds, tablet and laptop.
There's no need to install Kies to use the phone as mass storage.
Only if you want to flash things though Odin.
I'm using Windows 8 Pro 64bits and I can confirm this. :good:
Windows update Will do the job.
Connect the phone and then search on Windows update.
