Android SDK & Windows 8 - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I'm trying to use my One X on Windows 8 but it won't let me install the Android SDK. It says I need the Java SDK or whatever installed first and I did that but it still comes up with the same error when I try to install the Android SDK.
Anyone using Windows 8 and got it working?

I looked in c:\Windows\system32 and it's there. Java.exe.
It says if you believe you have it installed and it was not properly recognized, then simply set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to it.
I don't know what that means or how to do it.

This my help.

Thanks. I got it working. I don't remember tho what to install from the SDK Manager. It's been a while since I installed it on Windows 7 but I think I remember that I had to choose some different things to install.

What are you trying to do? If you just want adb, then not much, if you want to dev, then a little bit more. Lol

I just wanna use adb for now. So should just the recommended setting settings be enough? I see it recommends Android 4.1 stuff but now 4.0.3. I checked off 4.0.3 just to be safe.

That's all I do, and it works fine. Doesn't take for just adb, I don't even think my current computer has it installed, I just have it from an old one click Root ibused a long time ago.

I think I had gone back to Windows 7 before I figured out what was causing the problem. I figured I'd wait until Windows 8 was official before messing around with getting it to work.

I just installed the official Windows 8 build and am in the process of getting the sdk installed and adb working.
I LOVE Windows 8 btw. The official build is so much nicer than the release preview I had on a couple weeks ago.

ADB For win7 for Install ?s

So I have been looking around and Im seeing that you will need the ADB set up and I saw this http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ and saw this for user that are on windows 7 http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/08/24/workaround-for-htc-hero-sync-problem-in-windows-7/
Wondering if anyone did this yet for there phone and that they have win7? was there any issues or anything?
Hmm.. I already had SDK9 installed. I installed HTC Sync, connected my phone, Win7 Pro x86 installed the drivers properly, it was now showing as an "Android Device" in Device Manager, and I was able to verify I had ADB access. I didn't have to do anything special

Surprisingly my iMac needs SOMETHING. Normally what you say is absolutely true, but...
My Captivate and Skyrocket both have USB ADB connection issues on the Mac. I have a Droid2 and it works fine, but connecting the Captivate gives me a LOGCAT of about 1 page, then it disconnects. The Skyrocket NEVER connects.
Tried it on another identical iMac and SAME RESULTS so it's a hardware / Apple configuration issue. Go figure!
I'm searching the forums for some additional information but so far no luck!

If you updated to v21y with kdz updater then use the same method that worked for you but select the v21e kdz file for use.
Get the v21e kdz file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24599112
thank you Core memory
Done in 5 minutes ,
Back to ICS
Flashing v21E from 21Y did not work for me. told me that I was up to date. Had to flash using "KDZ_FW_UPD" and make sure you flash using windows xp and not xp mode for windows 7. which failed for me but may work for you.
i flashed on windows 7 32 bit,
not a single problem

Using the update app called "KDZ_FW_UPD" it would crash every time. But using windows xp on a partition Harddisk worked fine. Windows xp mode also failed for me, when it disconnects the usb is does not reconnect it. even if i reconnect it it wont go any further.
I have tried this on windows 7, XP, even vista just to see. I have followed multiple guides and used multiple methods. I just can't get it to work and it has become an unhealthy obsession. I neeeed v21e back. Does anybody have ANY tips to get this to work beyond what's already out there?

The kdz program doesn't tell you that it completed though, kinda weird. If it doesn't work the first try then try again! It worked 2nd try for me (forgot to restore stock recovery) I'm on XP if it matters.

[Q] QHSUSB_DLOAD S-Off

Ok, I'd been on the Sense 5 Rom and Elemental 6.7 for a while. Today I noticed that my phone wasn't going to sleep and was normally clocked around 1.0 Ghz no matter what it was doing. I tried changing the settings with No-frills cpu control but it didnt work. Long story short: I rebooted into recovery and reflashed the kernel to see if it would fix the problem. I used the stock elemental x settings (no overclock or undervoltage). The kernel flashed, I pressed reboot and the phone went dark... It wont cut on, holding the power button does nothing and plugging it into the computer gets me the qhsusb_dload message that I've read isnt a good thing to have. However most people who had this problem seem to have gotten it from RUU while S-On, my phone was S-Off so I'm wondering does that help my chances any, and is there anything I can do to restore my phone?
Try the unbrick evita thread. You'll need to run linux by live usb or live CD if you don't run linux. A virtual machine could work too.
If you can make it past step 3 and the partitions are intact, you can restore your phone.

I tried the unbrick evita thread but the zip is no longer posted on dropbox. I worked up to step 3 and there are some /dev/sda/ folders which I am presuming are the partitions... I can't find the unbrick_evita.zip file so if anyone has it I would really appreciate it. If I can find it on my own I'll update this thread. Thanks in advance.

There should be a bunch of partitions Like in the picture in the unbrick thread if you only have 3 or 4 or 5 then it not recoverable.

Alright guys. Seems like I'm fully bricked. Another guy on here had the same issue and said he sent it to HTC and they covered it so I called and am gonna send it in as well. *Fingers crossed* If it doesnt work then I'll probably just save up and upgrade to the one.
I know I dont post a lot here, but I do a lot of reading and you all have been super helpful. Thanks for the hard work you all put into this.

If you are in QHSUSB-DLMODE after trying to install RUU, OTA, or a custom kernel, you are pretty much done, aside from JTAG or sending it to HTC. I don't believe anybody has unbricked from any of these conditions.

You could try for years and will not recover. You require specially signed files from HTC to recover from that.
You are more than welcome to try the unbrick evita thread but if your patitions don't enumerate (step 3) there Is no way to recover without signed files from HTC. Other than jtagg ofcourse.

Trouble updating to 4.4.3

Hi Guy, and thanks for a lovely forum.
I'm currently running 4.4.2 on my Nexus 5 rooted and with Exposed Installer and GravityBox[KK] (which has a modify kernel for the Exposed installer). I want to install the new OTA-update (4.4.3) but the installation always get aborted (unexpected counting) or something. Dose The EI and GB[KK] interfere with the update process or by the modify kernel or both?
Do I need to uninstall EI and GB[KK], unroot the Nexus 5? In that case, how? Or do a factory reset or di I need to install totally back to stock 4.4.3?
I'm running a Mac (the only computer i own, and I have on internet connection at home so I use my Nexus 5's 3G and use hotspot to the Mac so it's not possible to install ROM's/update via my Mac cause then I will not have an internet connection during the installation process).
Is it possible to return back to stock on my Mac? In case how?
Dose anyone know how to fix this problem or are able to help me solve this problem? All answers are appreciated. I really need to get the 4.4.3 update. It dose not matter if I need to do a full "wipe"/factory reset, I have everything backup.

Google 15 second adb drivers xda. That should set up adb/fastboot that'll you'll need. Then extract the file and just double click on the flash-all.sh
