[A] Resolving one cause of warning "Device Cannot Start (Code 10)" - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've just spent a few hours trying to fix a problem with Kies and Windows 7. I had just used Odin3 and download mode to download a Chainfire kernel onto my GT-I9100, and afterword when I connected my phone Windows 7 would try installing drivers and fail on the MTP driver. I tried a lot of things to fix the problem, the only information I could get on it was an error message "Device Cannot Start (Code 10)".
I had spotted that when connecting my phone in download mode to Odin3 that Windows 7 had detected and installed a driver for "Unknown Device". On a hunch that this driver was causing the issue with connecting after using Odin3 I tried to completely uninstall it.
This is what I did (the first 8 or 9 steps are just to enable Device Manager to show *inactive* device drivers so you can uninstall the Unknown device. I've nicked this these steps from another site since I'm not allowed to link it yet):
1. Go to Control Panel and double click on System. You can also right-click "Computer" on the Start menu (or on the desktop if it's shown there) and choose Properties.
Note: A faster way for opening up the System applet is to press the Windows logo key on your keyboard and then press Pause/Break at the same time.
2. Click on "Advance System Settings" link, and then click on the "Environment Variables" button.
3. In the System Variables section click on the "New" button.
4. In the New System Variable dialog box, under the Variable Name value enter devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices (just copy the value from here and paste it there) and give it a variable value of 1.
Click Ok.
5. In the Environment Variables window notice how the new variable appeared in the System Variables section. Click Ok.
6. In the System Properties window click Ok.
7. Log off and log on.
8. Open Device Manager (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager).
9. From the View menu click Show Hidden Devices and searched for Unknown Device under Portable Device and USB Devices.
10. Right click the Unknown Device and select to uninstall, making sure to select complete removal of drivers option.
11. Restart the PC.
12. Start Kies without plugging the phone in.
13. Click on Troubleshooting for USB device and continue until it repairs the drivers.
14. Reboot the PC. Open Kies and plugin the phone again and let it reinstall the drivers.
Hope this sheds some light on this pernicious issue.

USB Device not recognised

Hi All,
I flashed my HD2 ROM last night, and after that everything was working except, I could not make a call or receive a call.
I tried pulgging into my PC with windows 7 ultimate, and it's saying USB device not recognised.
ROM i used is miri HD2 ROM-v19.0 WWE
Can someone please help me with this?
First you will have to remove all references to the failed usb connection:
as Administrator,go to My Computer <Right Click> Properties <Left Click>
select tab "Advanced"
Click Environment variables
Create following Environment variables in the system section:
Code:
DEVMGR_SHOW_DETAILS
and assign it a value of 1
Code:
DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES
and assign it a value of 1
Click OK twice
Next: go to My Computer <right-click> Manage <Left-click>
go to device manager.
select view > show hidden devices,
then:
Remove all devices with a questionmark
Remove all devices which are greyed out and which you can relate to your mobile
Once you have done this, reboot for certainty.
Try again, making sure to insert USB connector first in your Phone, afterwards in a fast, secure way in your PC. Do not "hesitate" while connecting USB connector. (sometimes slow/not complete insertion may cause this problem too)

I'm interested if this works... Still have a Touch Pro2 with the same message, so I will try the same for that device. Thanks for showing the hidden devices!

[Q] "Bluetooth Peripheral Device" Driver Missing?

Although I can pair my galaxy S2 with windows (Win 7, x64), and have it show up under Bluetooth devices (and visa versa for my computer within my phone), I can't have MyPhoneExplorer/Kies recognise the Bluetooth connection. Kies throws up a complaint about a missing Bluetooth device driver which is shown in device manager as "Bluetooth Peripheral Device". All Google searches for this device driver have ended poorly. Has anyone else encountered this problem?
Thanks for your help.
For those interested, managed to correct this via starting up MyPhoneExplorer on the phone when initially pairing the phone with my computer. Although the device is still missing drivers within device manager, everything seems to work. Does anyone else have the phone identifying as missing drivers in Win 7 x64? There seems to be a 'solution' to this, mentioned on several forums (for example, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-430368.html) that involves installing a generic driver from the windows mobility device center - but surely doesn't seem right as it's a device driver for windows mobile, when I've seen the same advice put out for Blackberry's, iphones, etc. People seem to think it works but I can't help but think that there are some consequences here that are unconsidered.

I tried on my Win7 installation just now. Only consequences so far: works. Be sure to download Windows Mobility Center 64bit if you are on 64bit Windows.
I tried that today.
Works like a charm to enable two way file transfers between Windows 7 notebook and Samsung Galaxy S2.
However, the bluetooth stack on this phone is still missing so many features... It's a pity, really.
Thanks for your help.
Installing Windows Mobile Device Center is not necessary. The peripheral just needs a standard bluetooth COM port driver.
1. In the Bluetooth device window, right-click the phone icon and select 'Properties'
2. Click 'Hardware' tab then 'Properties'
3. Click 'Change settings'
4. Select the 'Driver' tab, then 'Update driver...'
5. Click the second option: "Browse my computer for driver software"
6. Click to choose the option "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
7. From the list "Common hardware types", Select 'Ports (COM & LPT)'
8. Two droplists appear. Choose 'Microsoft' in the "Manufacturer" list, then 'Standard Serial over Bluetooth link' in the "Model" list
9. A warning window pops up. Ignore it by clicking 'Yes'
10. Presto, the device functions properly..
Ok I got to the update driver menu by selecting "change settings" of the general tab, not the driver tab. Then selecting driver tab I was able to "update driver...".
I followed the rest of your instructions precisely, and presto..... it almost worked. It tried a lot harder when I attempted to send an image phone -> pc, but still failed... Any extra help?
Right click on Bluetooth icon in notification area and click receive file. Then try sending file from phone
Update: Regarding drivers. I installed Atheros bluetooth Win7 x64 stack. It recognizes all blueooth drivers for SII but I couldn't use files transfer
My fix
I just went into the devices properties and under services, unchecked SMS and no more missing Bluetooth Peripheral Device driver! I don't know what functionality i have turned off (since i don't use that service) but it help to remove the needs troubleshooting icon.:good:
Sweet
:laugh: Worked like a charm thanks bro. File transfer work and all Sending video to my computer as I type this.

Thank you both, now i have no more issues with bt peripheral driver.:good:
Didn't work for my laptop, because when I right click on bluetooth notification area, I don't have "receive file" option on the display which coming on. . .
Give me more advice, please. . .
Excavating. Tried all the above. Still, two components are not installed. Bottom line, can identify speakers and headphones but can't connect - says try again. No problems on android device, but windows 7 64 struggles. Strangely, similar problems were with a previous machine (thinkpad x200, windows 7 32) and different devices. Now I am on x230 thinkpad.

Wired ADB not working for you? Fix is right here.

First of all, Credit goes to Scepterr who ran me through all this.
Secondly, do this at your own risk. I am not responsible for your screwups.
Third, READ and FOLLOW directions. If you skip around and screw up, it's your fault.
Fourth, This is for Windows, not mac.
If ADB is not working for you over a wired connection, it's because your usb driver is out of date. Here's what you do:
go to google's dev site and download the latest sdk that allows you to download the newest driver:
Here
unzip it into a folder and run SDK Manager.exe
wait a moment.
you'll see Choose Packages to Install.
Click cancel
click on Available packages
click on the arrow left of the checkbox for "Third pary Add-ons"
click on the arrow left of the checkbox for "Google Inc. (dl-ssl.google.com)
check the box for Google USB Driver package, revision 4
click Install Selected (bottom right button of the screen)
let it install.
allow it restart ADB
verify installation by clicking on Installed packages
if it's there, then it's installed.
go to your device manager
right click computer
click properties
click Device Manager
find the USB mass storage related to your TP.
You can tell this by removing the tp with device manager on. the one that goes away under Universal Serial Bus Controllers
Plug it back in.
right click that device (usually named USB Mass Storage Device) and uninstall it.
when it's done uninstalling, Right click on your computer name and click Scan for Hardware Change.
let it reinstall it
You're done.
Verify by typing "adb devices" in the command prompt (without ")
if if finds a device with the touchpad plugged in, you're good.
congratulations, you got wired ADB back.
bump. in case some people haven't seen it

Newb Needs Help Connecting to PC

I was unable to find help elsewhere, so I was recommended to come here. No rooting, hacking, reprogramming, or anything else. Just a basic connection problem.
I recently bought a new Solid-State hard drive, and re-installed Windows 7 on it. Everything is great, and it's fully updated.
My problem is that while my LG Optimus G E980 phone will charge via the USB cable, I can't "open" it in My Computer, to transfer pictures, music, etc.
I have tried downloading the driver from LG's Website (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.1.1), but when I run it, I get the following message:
"The Microsoft MTP driver is not found on your system. Please install Windows Media Format Feature Pack using Download Link for your media device to work correctly."
It then provided me with a link to download this. However, when I do that and run the update, I get told the update is not applicable to my computer.
Whether I try to install this update or not, it doesn't matter, because the driver installation tells me it was installed successfully. However, judging by the icon in my Taskbar with the red/white "X" and the fact that my phone still won't connect, it hasn't.
Yes, my phone is set up to ask me what I want to do when connected to the PC, and Media sync (MTP) is selected. Here's the kicker... remember, I have two hard drives. When I boot using the other hard drive, the phone connects with no problem. Same USB cable and port. Therefore, this is DEFINITELY software-related.
Is there something preventing this driver from installing? Why is the phone not installing the driver itself? Thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks.
Have you Manually installing the driver from Devices manager?
In the Device Manager locate your Android device. Then right-click on it and select "Update Driver Software".
Select "Browse my computer for driver software".
Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".
Select "Show All Devices".
Press the "Have Disk" button.
Enter the path to the Google USB driver. Normally it is located in the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
Select "Android ADB Interface" from the list of device types.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I searched, and do not have a folder called "Android".
I did, however, find a folder called "LG United Mobile Drivers", however there are about 30 different drivers in there. I picked a few, including "Lgandadb" and "Lgnetandadb", but I get told "Windows encountered a problem", and "This device cannot start (Code 10)"
Anyone?
Ok, I'll try to put it another way. When you first connect an Android phone to a PC, drivers are installed automatically. I'm willing to bet there was an error when I installed them on my new hard drive.
Are the drivers already a part of Windows? If so, perhaps I need to do a Repair of Windows?
Are they located in an Auto-Run file on the phone, and maybe I need to re-run that program?
Perhaps there's something I need to delete or flag so that my phone thinks it's the "first time" again?

Stop Windows installing Drivers for Specific Devices Win11 Home

Hi, can anyone help, please?
Windows 11 automatically installs two drivers (which conflict) for my JLab Go Air ear buds. Have installed GPEDIT, enabled restrictions, and entered the Hardware ID device ID values in installation restrictions, but the unwanted driver still installs automatically.
Is there another way to prevent automatic driver installation?
Thanks
