Well I still can't post pictures, so here's a link:

Completely fresh Windows 7 32bit install (i.e. 2 hours old fresh) but attempting to install drivers through Kies gives this... error...?
What d'ya reckon guys?

What language did you choose when installed Kies? Besides that Windows looks like a freshly installed copy, update the Windows, maybe the language files aren't even installed yet.
Regards.

Thanks for that, but Windows is fully up-to-date (that's what those 2 hours were spent doing). I'm trying to fix the problems I'm having here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1173687 so this isn't going well...
Language pack is British, same as the one used when installing Kies.

Big guess is that phone is f**** by multiple rom flashing without clearing existing problem from first flash .
Coupled with wrong reg entries for the phone in windows .
Uninstall Kies and uninstall all Kies components and registry entries .
Its not the Infusion rom at fault ramming rom after rom down the phones throat leads to problems the Infusion rom post gave clear instructions re FC .

Getting Stock to Custom

Hello Guys,
I am pretty much new to Android here (Used to be a Windows Mobile user), although I am starting to read and learn more about it. I felt so happy to be out of the Microsoft Mobile spell, it was horrible and the software just lives in the world of its own, it lags at almost anything and in short, it just cant work.
Alright, so I got my Hero 2 weeks back and I wanted to know a few things, which I hope you can help me with it.
- I have about 60 over applications on my SD card, and I wish to use the MoDaCo ROM, How am I able to backup the applications from the current stock rom and transfer them to SD Card or somewhere else?
( Will Market still recognise the apps I downloaded after I flashed my phone to MoDaCo? )
- One more question, everything when the MoDaCo rom releases a new version, lets say from 2.9 to 3.0, must I reflash and build everything from scratch again?
Thanks A Lot,
Jeremy

hi,
well to answer your questions,
you can install all your applications directly on your sd card using app2sd.(it is incorporated in the modaco roms but bear in mind you have to correctly format ur sd card in ext3 partition for app2sd application to work . Once you've done that , you can flash anything and you'll not have any problem.
2)concerning paid applications, yes. market will automatically recognise applications you bought once you sign in your google account(they'll be recognised but you'll have to download it manually) but paid ones, nope.
3)when you upgrade from the same built( meaning from 2.8 to 3.0 modaco for example) , you dont have to wipe before flashing cause both roms use as base the official 2.73 rom. thus you wont lose any of your settings. However, when you upgrade from a modaco rom to community rom 1.6 , you should normally wipe.(builts are not the same here, one being cupcake and the other eclair)

Thanks A lot for your response, and I have some questions again.
- Where could I find an app to format my SDCard to Ext3? Will my Windows PC still be able to read EXT3?
- You mentioned that market will recognise my downloaded applications after I root the phone right? So, I dont really get it - I have to download it manually? Meaning? ( All my apps are free, no paid )
- Its pleasing to hear that I don't have to wipe when I upgrade to 3.0.
- Oh and something which I missed out, I am supposed to flash a Radio at the same time right? Which one is the best to date? I heard that there was many versions. ( I'm using a GSM Hero)
Sorry for the inconvinience.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Need help, unable to download/update apps

This happened after I flashed VillainROM 3.0. Now I'm unable to download or update any apps via Market, it would give "Error downloading app_name. Please try again at a later time." . Sometimes I can install them from the web, but NEVER through the phone. There are also discrepencies, e.g I have Astro uninstalled, the market app says I don't have it installed (but I can't download), but on the web it says I have it installed and I can't install it again.
I have tried clearing caches of everything relevant and irrelevant, flashing different roms, even restoring CWM backup and titanium backup, nothing seems to help. I have deleted .android_secure folders, but I can't find any smdl2tmp1.asec files anywhere. Some of my apps just show up as grey icons, but some I'm able to see them and use them. Clicking on the grey icons would just crash TouchWiz. I look into Applications under settings and I see lots of "com.app_name.something_else" I tried deleting those but it doesn't seem to help.
I'm at my wits end and am really considering getting a new SGS2 if this doesn't get fixed I would really appreciate any help

Have you started KIES as Administrator?
Is any firewall and/or anti-virus application running and "blocking" KIES?
P.S.: Why using KIES?
I used KIES only to install my phone's drivers to my PC.
For backup&recovery I am using CWM Manager app (contained in CF-Root kernel).
For accessing my files (pictures, videos, etc.), I am using Windows Explorer.
For updating firmware, I am using Odin.
Latest official firmwares can be found in different places, e.g. in Intratech's thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278).
So, no need for me to use KIES any more.
thanks a lot for quick response.
yes i run it as administrator.
i disabled my firewall and antivirus and uninstalled as many as posible apps.
just i want to my lovly kies work good for my S II!! i think it is good software and becouse its comes with my SII too!!
i dont want to void waranty and nether briek my phone !!
is there any other sugestion plz??

Unfortunately I have the exact same problem.
The older version was fine.
Updated to the latest, and I get this error.
I'm sure it has something to do with .NET
I took out the line that referenced .Net 4.0 in KiesPDLR.exe.config
This has apparently worked for somebody. But it didn't work for me.
well i uninstalled and reinstall Kies, seemed to work for me...
Say your computer specs.

Ironically I uninstalled the latest Kies using Revo Uninstaller, reinstalled. And so far it's working now.

[SOLVED] [Q] Serious MTP Problem and other more problems.

Hello, I think i really had a serious problem with my Samsung Galaxy tab 3 7inch T210 rooted with Stock Rom and Kernels use.
I had this MTP device installation failed code 10 for almost a month.:crying:
I follow the rules before posting, I look all threads like this, and I think i already did all available solutions like trying all usb ports, uninstalling and reinstall, deleting upper filters, updating the drivers, but i cannot try the method of disabling the windows media player and renabling it or update it because when i go to windows features on or off it shows blank, and i recently downloaded wmp 11 and install it, but it says: " There is a more recent version of windows media player (12.0.7601.17514) already installed on your computer. It is not possible to use an older installation package (11.0.5721.5145) to install files or to repair your current version of the player." But honestly i dont know if i really had a latest version of it. xoxo... :cyclops:
Before, I can freely connect my tab 3 t210 to our acer laptop aspire series 7741 windows 7 64 bit with no problem with mtp device installation code 10.
But before the problem occur i was doing some stuffs to my android tablet, i was freezing and uninstalling the bloatwares and some system apps, but of course before i did that i search , System apps that can be safely removed and other stuffs related to that to be safe.
I am using System tuner by 3c, to uninstall and freeze apps. So when i look to the backup section i saw MTP application ... so I think maybe the promblem was is that , i uninstall the mtp application.apk but as far as i remember it is safe to remove in a website i visited.
So then, I try to restore it but nothing happen. So my another question is how to restore it? , or how can i get a MTP application.apk ?
PS: I already try the app called Nitrality, as i search in the threads here... but it keeps crashing when i try opening it.
And also when I root my device using odin in our laptop i dont use samsung kies, until now.
So, yeah, yesterday i do a factory reset of course before i did that i do a nandroid backup, im using TWRP recovery.
But here's the other problem the recovery didnt work! I had a habit of getting a another copy of the backup here at my laptop , to be sure.
So the 3rd Question: How to do the restore in TWRP if no file appear. but when i look to my sd card (not literally, lol) i can see my backup.
Summary:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7inch SM T210 rooted with Stock Rom and Kernels use
Laptop: Acer, aspire series 7741 windows 7, 64 bit operating system.
Problems:
MTP usb device installation failed
MTP application. apk uninstalled
TWRP recovery didnt work
Questions:
Any other solution for MTP usb device installation failed?
How to get or how to succesfuly restore MTP application.apk
How to work the recovery or how to appear the backup files in restore section on TWRP.
Now I had a plan to unroot my device but ofcourse dont know how b'cause my device wont install in my laptop due to the problem.
And when i successfully unroot my device, i will root it again.
SO, you see im frustrated. Any solution you have any to my problem would be highly appreciated!
But my main focus is to connect this device into my laptop to be able to unroot it and root it again and try different custom roms and kernels. And try to find the perfect combination to tab 3 t210!
SO PLease developers, seniors, juniors help me!!!!!!! :crying:
sorry for my bad english...

Well, if it connected to the PC to use Odin, then it's not an issue with the drivers, just that the the missing MTP apk. Just download the stock firmware and use Odin to install. This will both unroot you and get everything back to normal so you can restart the root process. Alternatively, you could just download a stock based rom and either put that on your SD card and install or grab the MTP apk from it and make a flashable zip to install in recovery. As far as the TWRP backup, are you making sure to toggle the storage location? Should be a drop down menu to choose between internal and SD card at the top of the section to restore. If that doesn't work, then make sure you have the most up to date version and use the TWRP explorer to see if you can find it. If so, you might be able to just move the folder to another location to be found easier.

[PLEASE HELP] how i can modify a rom ? there're some problems...

hello
i have some problems with a rom based in Cyanogen 7 ( it's no official)
the keyboard is small...
there is in some way to modify it and make it bigger?
another thing is that i would like to pass apks from my pc to my htc wildfire s but there's no way the system android don't detected them
the good things is that I got 2.00 GB of free internal memory and is supposed it was installed directly to the sd , so I would like to improve and not change the rom
to prevent spam i can't put the link to download the rom , so the person who was interesed please send me a message
the rom is from another foro in spanish called htcmania
someone could help me?
thanks a lot !
The Keyboard can be changed by searching for another keyboard.apk for your phone, U can update it with google Play, or Aptoide.
Then the app problem, so you can't copy apks to your phone? and your phone doesn't install apps to sd?
Try the app:
apps2sd
or
connect your phone with your computer, install adb drivers
type in your path to yourAndroid SDK installation at Step 1:
Step 1: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Step 2: adb devices (it should say there's a device listed when your phone is connected!)
Step 3: adb shell
=> A $ sign should pop up
Step 4 :pm setInstallLocation 2 (or, new syntax : adb shell pm set-install-location 2)
Another $ should pop up

i installed a new keyboard and the adb drivers but the problem with the apps continues i mean i can't copy apks download from my pc to my phone with a modified rom, the phone doesn't detected them.
for example i tried to download and put in my phone some apk who play store deleted for obvious reasons it is droidsheep XD
however i can download and install apks who are in play store , it is strange...
thanks for your reply ^^
Did you turn on unknown sources in Settings>Security settings ? This allows you to install apps which are not from the play store...
If this is not the issue, you should check google settings( the grey cog with a g in it ), google got this feature which blocks apps, there should be a function in these settings which stops checking your apps that you install.

okey , i will check the google settings , anyway i am sick of this rom ... some apps like google play are continually restart
and a few days later I have noticed that the apks who i want to install from the google play (when it's installed ) restart the phone
that rom have some bugs...
thanks for the reply , but i will not continue with this rom , i make another post asking how i can change modified rom to oficial rom in the htc wildfire s , i don't find anything for this phone in google ...
thanks a lot ^^
Allright, well the problem could lie in your gapps, a corupt google play service can cause alot of trouble and Force Closes on your phone, also when you installed yothe mod, did you wipe everything? (Dalvik cache, Data, cache ...) Don't have the phone so can't test anything, might do some research tho
good luck further!

yes , about the custom rom i wipe everything so i think that was a fault from the chef T_T
pd: do you know how i can change modified rom to oficial rom in the htc wildfire s ?
thanks for your reply again :fingers-crossed:
Well I don't really understand what you mean, but the thing I understand out of it is that you want to go back to a stock Firmware or Rom?
I'd recommend backing everything up firstly (don't forget all your contacts!) .
Then go into recovery and do a factory reset / or Data, Dalvik cache & cache Wipe... (system should be wiped for modified stuff like battery improvements, added scripts, etc. ...)
& that's it for going back to your stock rom.
If you want to go back to stock firmware you should search what type of phone you have (the nickname , single sim or dual sim , all this) and look for stock firmware (.ftf Files)
To get this flashed on your phone you gotta use a flash tool and a computer.
For further information you should read some tutorials on how to flash firmware.

i was talking about the firmware , but i called it oficial rom sorry xD
in a spanish foro called htcmania the moderator told me: You can only install an equal or higher version .
the rom has a version 2.3.7 and the firmware that i would like to install has a 2.3.5 version
anyway, there was a tutorial who explain how downgrade the version of the rom?
thanks ^^
Well you can downgrade, if it is availble for your phone... Better so some more research regarding your phone and just try it.
