So, A few months ago I downloaded and installed the developers preview of windows 8. I liked it a lot and backed up my windows 7 hd, wiped and fully installed windows 8.
Well, I bought the HTC One S yesterday. Amazing phone.
My problem, I can't root my phone because while installing the htc drivers it comes up with "~ doesn't recognize this OS" or something like that. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom
Maybe you should revert back to windows 7 then if the drivers wont install, Its pretty much impossible to anything without drivers

I figured that was the easiest solution HOWEVER I really dont want to spend 3 hours of work (Backup windows 8, delete, repart, load and install windows 7, root phone, delete, repart, load and install windows 8) for something that takes less than half an hour to do.
If anyone has any nice work arounds i'd really, really appreciate it!
What about installing some kind of virtual machine and Win7 or even XP on it?
can't you find any kind of driver that will install on WIN8?

There are drivers for windows 8 I just can't remember where I saw them, but they here on xda somewhere, search for a bit

I would try installing the Windows XP mode (virtual machine) if Windows 8 lets you, as mentioned above.. or perhaps download TinyXP and install as dual boot. maybe even a live install to a bootable usb drive.. although I've never been able to get that method to work well.
Or! I'll sell you my HP TC1100 already set up for HTC & Samsung phone modding!

It looks like they added some signed usb drivers for 64bit vista in git. Get the files here:

Anyone have Vista 64bit and want to try them out, and report back? Hopefully this will let you use the drivers without being in test mode, like you had to be with the ones that aziwoqpd had compiled.
Driver installs with no problems on my Vista 64 machine, but adb and fastboot give a device not found error :/
That error is the same as using an unsigned one in normal Windows bootup. I'll test it now and post back.
Btw: Here's an unsigned drivers workaround.

Edit:
Driver works perfectly. Windows 7 x64.
Crapped my pants at first though. Got a bsod while installing it. Lol.
Just the regular overclock bsod though, so it should go on fine for you guys.

Ah, cool. thanks for posting that workaround. I hadn't seen anything like that. I had only briefly looked into it before, but didn't see anyway to run unsigned drivers without going into test mode. (I don't use vista, so I wasn't that motivated to find a way )
Yea I get device not found on both unsigned and signed. But I also have a linux box to play with anyways.
look at all this old stuff.
Works 100% on 2 different vista 64 bit systems. Didn't make my video crash my machine on the one that usually does. So Kudos to the guy that made these! Tried & tested! ADB work'n. Might want to put this as a main thread or stickie for all those using vista 64bit or windows 7 64bit. Just a suggestion
Will this work with Haykuro's modified SPL?
Greets all,
Mod, Sorry if this is in the wrong place, please move if need be, I did a search cause I was having trouble installed the drivers for the HTC Sync for the android, and since I was able to manage to get it installed, I thought if anyone else wasnt able to or if it wasnt found yet, I got it working for the HD2 "Motoman234 EVO Carbon Remix" Android.
Now it shouldnt matter and should work on all Androids but had to throw that in there just in case.
This is for Windows 2003 server (Instructions), but should work on other OS's:
1) Download the newest HTC Sync: 3.0.5481.
2) Run the installer, it will load many things as a requirement.
3) 2 Installer will fail: Windows Media Runtime 11 & USB Drivers. On both it will ask you if you want to continue to install, say yes.
4)Once installed, connect your phone, Windows will locate it and say new hardware found "ADB" Do not allow windows to search for the driverss, it wont find them, instead download the file from my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9719661&postcount=2
5)Unzip the folder, and make windows look in that folder, it might ask you if you should install it, say yes, once installed, your HTC Sync is fully functional to sync whatever you want.
Hope this helps anyone having trouble with Windows 2003, or any other version. And if this was solved already, my apologies, just trying to help.
I've been looking for 2003 drivers ever since I got my HTC Desire back in March. Will give this a go later and see how I get on.
I can confirm that the above procedure works fine. Many thanks
thanks you very much
good, I try and success!
good! I try and success. thanks a lot!
My pleasure, glad to be of help
You are amaizing,,,,, thank you very much... You saved me from installing new o/s
thank you once again
Morning chapps.
can any one offer a guid on basebanding in ubuntu.
i can get gb via your guides working ok bit no network i am assuming this is due to old 2..2.2 base?.
Problem is i ditched ms yonks ago and cant connect my o3d to the update tool via wine.....any ideas?
Do you have a spare PC you could install the Windows 8 Developer Edition on? It should work sufficiently to be able to do the update.
There is also official Windows 7 SP1 ISOs available to download, you can install it without a reg code and it will run for 30 days. Its likely a lot easier than trying to flash from Linux.

Hello!
I have a problem with Kies, I've searched around the site but couldn't an answer.
The thing is, I download Kies from the samsung site, and when I open the .exe, I see a green bar and after that it disappears and the installer never opens.
I have Windows XP x64 bit.
Thanks!
do you have a download manager?
It's possibly the download didn't complete properly or is corrupt in some way. I would download again using a download manager (downthemall) is a popular firefox add-on
Failing that try obtaining the installer from a different site, and/or possibly try a different version
Edit: windows XP x64 is a pretty bad version of windows to be on (its not really 64bit) I would suggest upgrading your operating system at some stage

I just installed downthemall and downloaded Kies again, but the same thing happened. The installer won't open.
I've already tried downloading the installer from a different site but the same thing happened.
I have no idea what's the issue here.
Yeah I was planning to update it to windows 7 but I don't know when, I don't like much the way it looks
There are a lot of program compatibility issues with windows xp 64, I would say install on any other machine and it will work
just because its 63 1/2 bit doesnt mean you needs another computer, as i have win xp (almost) (64BiT) as well and ,win 7 on my laptop and regular win xp 32.5 bit and none WORK WITH KIES! ITS SAMSUNG JUST FACE THE TRUTH AND DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A NEW OS JUST TO BE VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED, if their are any compatibility issues they are due to programs not being "MADE" compatible with it. besides i would rather be the one compatible with my computer then my apps

I also have the same problem. Windows 7, x64.
Has anyone found a solution?
Sorry for bringing this thread back to life, but I have a similar problem with KIES, only mine says that my pc is not connected to the internet!!!! OF course it doesn't take into account that I'm posting this as we speak.... Of all the problems an installation could face, internet connection is the one that messes with it?!
Does anyone have a solution?
i tried some months ago to install kies drivers and in my win7 64bit i don't have any problems
but i tried kies programs only first time, then i deleted it.
some days ago i get cyanogenmod to delete jellymod that have a lot of problems, also via usb ( i can't get files to my computer that appear a pop up of windows that says my devices is going off... too strange
anyway i nned to try now with cyano, if i have the same pop up, i guess is a usb cable, or another problem that i need to find and resolve...

Hey, and you checked the kies is compatible with windows xp 64 bit? With Windows 7 is definitely the xp but it is better to check.

I know that is a old post but for information, you could found drivers for xp 64 here without install kies ...
1. Download this files : .h.t.t.p.://drivers.softpedia.com/dyn-postdownload.php/09b2d4250aff0de1122d5694682c3b08/550736e3/179b5/4/1
2. Unzip it on destop for exemple.
3. run "Setup.exe" in the forlder "USB drivers"
4. enjoys, it works for me with a samsung S5830 ..
I just got my Nexus 5 today, and I am trying to put things on the internal memory of the phone. However everytime I plug it in to install the drivers automatically, it says an error occurred during installation, and kicks me back out, and refuses to work. I use Windows XP still, 32 bit, and it asks me to search the web etc for hardware, and it never finds anything.
Does anyone know how to connect this thing? :'( I tried on my Windows 7 laptop too and same problem, except this time it worked as an SD card, but in the bootloader to root the phone it fails to install?
Google universal naked usb drivers. Try those

I managed to finally get my USB and camera to "install successfully" but no matter how long I wait, the storage never comes up.
:'( what is the problem?? All other phones they just install and are ready to go. This is my main Windows XP PC btw.
The mtp divers on xp can be a pain.. have a search for a thread that is somewhere on here, it covers most of the problems on xp

I have a Windows XP PC too and have MTP working. Try doing the following to get it working - Update windows media player to 10 or higher, install the mtppk12 = MTP porting kit and install the Microsoft user mode drivers for MTP. These should get you going.
That's way too much work. Just search for drivers in the N5 threads. I had the same problem, there's a universal driver like the person above said.
