Hi everyone.
Firs of all, excuse me, cause i'm a newbie at the topic.
My question is "simple": How to flash *anything* to a mobile device based on WIN CE without drivers on windows or linux?
Much further details:
The device is the Kin phone, based on windows mobile 6.5.
Device is connected by USB to the pc.
No activesync / windows mobile device center connection is available (no driver and so).
We can start the device in SBL mode (secure boot loader?), so able to flash IPL,OS,Radio and splash image (according to coinflipper leaked rom analysis).
We got the VID and PID for the product in the SBL mode: V 0x045e; P 0x2345
"lsbusb -vv" on the device shows 2 endpoints, 1 for bulk transfer in, other for out.
Using raw c++ i was able to write and read succesfully on the device endpoint but whatever i sent to it was just answered with a "0x01" as response.
So if the winCE masters here can enlight the thing a little, it will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
John K.

Belated Help
Firstly, remove both the SIM card and any memory card. Make sure your battery is charged as well. Can you get into the bootloader (Light button, on/off button and reset button all at the same time)?
If so then your screen should be showing 'Serial' at the top and a number at the bottom. Plug the cable into the XDA and into your PC (it IS a PC and not an iMac I'm assuming?). What OS are you using? XP, Vista or 7?
You need to ensure that 'connect via USB' is DE-SELECTED in either activesync or Windows mobile device centre.
With the cable plugged in, the 'serial' should change to 'USB'. If so all is good. If not, try another cable!
You may also need to ensure you have the correct drivers loaded for Vista and Win 7. I can't get it to work under Win 7 but I can under Vista. XP is preferred for stability for me though.
Now, assuming you have USB on the XDA screen, run mtty (attached to this post) and select usb as the connection type.
Then press enter and you should get a 'USB>' command prompt in the window on the PC. Type (not copy paste) the following:
set 14 0 <press return - don't type this bit obviously!>
Task 28 55aa <press return - don't type this bit obviously!>
Allow each to finish before typing the next and allow the command prompt to appear before exiting.
Then exit mtty and flash a good ROM, I use VNInt with HomeScreenPlus.
Good Luck!
Where can i download a free serial usb driver for windows smartphone?
What do you want to do? Serial interface is already included via Bluetooth (incoming and outgoing port) - not sure about USB, despite AS connection in "not enhanced mode (RNDIS)" is said to be "serial" as well.
I need the driver to connect my smartphone to a new pc via usb. My old pc crashed recently and i wasnt able to backup any software. Also, ive lost the cd which came with the phone and i dont know where to get a replacement.
You need a driver for the PC, not on the device. I have no experience with new OS, only Win XP. What happens when you connect the device via USB to the new PC?
My os is winxp. When i connect to the pc it says "found new hardware generic serial" then it brings the found new hardware wizard . I cant continue since i dont have the recquired driver on a removable disk or anywhere on the pc.my phone is spv c600
You need to install Active Sync first on your PC. This should install also all needed drivers for the device to connect. Look here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...34-6f7f-404d-a04b-dc09f8141141&displayLang=en
I have already installed activesync 4.5 but i didnt see it install any drivers.
Is WinXP on the latest Service Pack (SP3 I think) and does it have all Microsoft patches installed afterwards?
AS install should put the drivers to the repository for later install when needed - it will not install the drivers right away. Why don't you let the driver's install look for the drivers in the internet - I don't remember any similar problems on my PC.
Search Microsoft for USB serial driver and RNDIS driver for XP if install does not get it for you automatically.
Oh! It has dected the phone. I reinstalled it while the device was connected to the pc and it worked . thanx so much
Hello. That's a vague question :
I have a custom USB device (class 0xff) and I want to communicate with it using my Android phone. I'm on ICS "stock" (original), and official API provides USB functionnalites.
I use a Java and C API to communicate with my device from my computer (libusb), so I though that it could be possible to do the same with my Androphone, and an OTG USB cable.
But my problem : When I plug the device to the Smartphone, it is correctly detected (and powered). Endpoints are correctly listed, and I can retrieve the serial name. But when I call the "claimInterface" function (Android API), it fails. I don't understand why, because the class of my device is unspecified and shouldn't be handled by Android OS or other App.
When I do a diagnostic with the XDA USB Host test software, I get "yes" in line "claimed" (Base API).
I realize that my question is too specific. My hope is to find someone who has already worked on this kind of problem, or who knows the limits of the USB host.
Thanks in advance.
(My phone is not rooted)
EDIT : Rooted. Same problem :/

I have a Windows 7 64 bit system and I am trying to find drivers to access an rca rct6703w13
I have tried every driver I can find and nothing seems to work does anyone know something that will work?
I would be very grateful if anyone could help?
Thank You
Oh boy, I still remember this pain trying to find and use such drivers on Windoze:
- try another port
- try another cable
- try this driver or that one
- try doing a rain dance with 3 days old undies on your head, and turn only clock wise, unless it's full moon, then turn counter clockwise but stop briefly after ever two and a half turns
Maybe, as workaround, you could boot from a linux CD and try your approach from there.
Whenever I flash from my debian, it works: If "fastboot devices" still doesn't show anything then usually I have forgotten to plugin the cable
By using my "Yet Another Universal ADB Driver" Package (see the link in my signature) one can remove all the old adb drivers if that is the issue, but this case seems to be more interesting...
On win10 it seems that the adb is embedded to the winusb driver the same or similar way (registry wise) that my package is using. Now that I have tested, the behavior is similar with my devices. When using file transfer connection the adb is not recognized. With others, charging, photo, midi the abd works fine. To make adb work with file transfer one have to install the correct driver. In this case google's general driver could be okay, one match for vendor and product ids in it ...
https://dl.google.com/android/repository/usb_driver_r13-windows.zip
What I tested using virtual win7 64bit, it seems to behave the same way... which is a bit weird as I've tested it with my driver package. Worked okay then I think. The Android device used has changed since though.. It worked on win10 back then too.. the change has to have happened later.. or I didn't use file transfer..
@steadfasterX 's maid or salt or whatever it's called nowadays might be usable in this case. It's a Linux having SP flash tool etc. available..
edit: tested and it turned out that the updated phone is the problem... using another phone my driver package worked as expected..

1. Don't confuse USB-driver and ADB-driver: the USB-driver since ever is by default part of any OS, so also of Windows OS. The ADB-driver is an extra protocol what allows you to communicate with a phone's Android ecosystem via an USB-connection.
2. Latest generic ADB-driver ( correct: ADB client ) got released August 2022 and is officially versioned 33.0.3.
3. AFAIK a 64-bit version of ADB-driver doesn't exist.
With regards to install this ADB-driver on a Windows 7,8.1,10,11 PC:
It's NO USB-driver installer - as introduced above by @CXZa - needed what unnecessarily bloats the Windows registry with crap.
You
1. simply create on any mounted drive of Windows PC a folder named "ADB",
2. extract there to the 3 files what are in the attached ZIP file,
3. add path of created folder "ADB" to Windows environment variable PATH, thus ADB-driver is systemwide accessible -
how to is described here
How to Set the Path and Environment Variables in Windows
Information on how to set the path and environment variables in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
