[GUIDE] Installing an unsigned driver in Windows 8 (x64) - Android General

Hello Guys,
I had a little trouble back there Installing the fastboot drivers with Windows 8 x64 system.
It looks like Windows 8 Only Installs the driver after verification on signature check.
I solved the problem after much reading... thought a guide would help others.
In case if you are facing the same problem, follow the steps below.
______________________________________________________________________________________
The steps to install a unsigned driver on windows 8 is as follows.
1. From windows 8 control panel choose General –> Under “Advanced Startup” –> Restart now.
Now the system will restart and might take some minutes to show up the boot menu. Wait for It patiently.
After some time you will be prompted with a menu with following options.
1. Continue
2. Troubleshoot
3. Turn off
Choose Troubleshoot
Then the following menu appears.
Refresh your PC
Reset your PC
Advanced Options
Choose Advanced Options
Then the following menu appears
System Restore
System Image Recovery
Automatic Repair
Command Prompt
Windows Startup settings
Choose Windows Startup Settings, then Click Restart.
Now the computer will restart and the boot menu appears.
Choose “Disable Driver signature Enforcement” from the menu.
Now windows will start and you can do the installation of the driver that is not signed.

thank you! used the guide for another driver but worked :good:

This guide needs update. It should be on the side bar click settings. Then at the bottom click pc settings. The option is not in control panel

Is this still valid in Windows 8.1?
After installation of the driver, will it stay installed?
Means: After reboot, will it still be useable or do I have to choose “Disable Driver signature Enforcement” again?

Window 8 x 64
Who has encountered this problem, and I do not understand what port you need to replace
?
P.S. Head boils. sorry for my broken English
From sda171 about Windows 8:
I just wanted to add something for fellow Windows 8 users following your guide. By default, windows 8 does not allow driver which are not signed to be installed. You wont even be prompted to force install it. It will deny the installation without your knowledge (this happened to me and I had no clue). In addition to installing every app as administrator. You have to disable driver signature verification on your windows 8 computer.
To do that.
Go to PC settings > General > Under Advanced startup , click restart now > at the boot up screen click 'troubleshoot' > advanced options > startup settings > restart > then press the corresponding number to temporarily disable driver verification (it was 7 for me).
Then do all the driver installing as stated in the awesome guide. If you restart after the disabling the verification is enabled again. It works for only one boot and has to be done again if required (in case you restart after disabling). The verification has to be disabled for successful installations of the drivers u install or else it wont work for you on windows 8.

[Guide] Win7/8 Usb Drivers Installation for Sp tool

Hi Guys,
I am writing this tutorial on how to install usb drivers for sp tools on pc for our Magnus device. I and my friends struggled a lot in installing these drivers so this is to help my other friends.
This will help even if you are not getting any popup or phone in device manager list.
Below are the steps, will also attach screen shots to make it easy.
1.Go to Control Panel and open Device Manager
2.Right click and select Add legacy hardware (also can be from from Action menu)
3.Add hardware wizard will be opened, click next
4.Select "Install hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)"
5.Click next and click Have Disk option
6.Click browse and find where your driver .inf file is (download from the link attached at end of post), then select it. (I selected usb2ser_Win764.inf, select usb2ser_Win7.inf if its 32-bit)
7.Click Open/Ok You will see drivers listed... Select your driver there and click next and finish installing. I have used Mediatek PreLoader USB VCOM Port.
8. Hit that thanks button on left
For Windows 8.
If you are getting error like: “The third party INF does not contain digital signature information”, you need to disable Driver signature enforcement in windows.
1. Open the Charms Bar, select “Settings” --> “Change PC Settings” --> select General
2. Scroll to the bottom of the General page and select “Restart Now” under “Advanced Start-Up”
3. Once the PC comes back up, select “Troubleshoot”
4. Select “Advanced Options”, select “Start-Up Settings” and select the Restart button
5. Press the F7 key (or the number 7 key) from your computer keyboard. This disables the Driver Signature Enforcement, which will allow you to install unsigned drivers.
After the PC reboots, install the drivers normally.

[Q] [D2302] Xperia M2 driver for Windows 10 - Insider Preview

Flashtool doesn't detect Xperia M2 dual [D2302] on Windows 10 - Insider Preview (Build 10162)
I already installed Google USB drivers and the bundled Flashtool drivers, but nothing helped.
I need to flash stock firmware immediately, can any body help me to get through this?
How can i install /get drivers for W10?
we should get another pc with win7 and restore
Have you tried with disabled driver signature?
Disabling driver signature verification allows the flashtools driver instalation in Win 10. I've been using Win 10 since the first technical preview build, and disabling driver signature verification will do the trick.
How to Disable Driver Signature Verification on 64-Bit Windows 8.1 or 10
To disable driver signature verification, we’re going to need to get into the Troubleshooting options from the boot manager. The easiest way to bring this screen up is using a secret trick.
Simply select Restart from the power options menu (on Windows 8 that’s under Charms or on the login screen, and in Windows 10 it’s on the Start Menu).
Hold down the SHIFT key while you click Restart.
(Again, you can use this trick on any of the power menus in Windows 8 or 10, whether on the login screen, Charms bar, Start Menu, or Start Screen)
Once your computer has rebooted you will be able to choose the Troubleshoot option.
Then head into Advanced options.
Then Startup Settings.
Since we are modifying boot time configuration settings, you will need to restart your Computer one last time.
Finally, you will be given a list of startup settings that you can change. The one we are looking for is “Disable driver signature enforcement”. To choose the setting, you will need to press the F7 key.
