Hey XDA,
I recently bought a cheap Android TV Stick, a MK908 to be precise. I did't pay much for it, because the previous owner said it didn't work well. Indeed it doesn't really function like it should (sometimes boots regularly, sometimes shows glitches and just reboots), so I decided to flash another firmware to see what that does.
However, it doesn't seem to work. I obviously have read how to flash, so to connect the stick with the OTG-port, press the button and connect it to pc while the button is pressed. But windows tells me it found a new usb-device, and not even a second later it tells me the device is disconnected. I am using windows 8.1 in a virtual machine on a macbook through vmware fusion. OS X (10.9) is completely up to date, windows too. I have told vmware to always connect the tv-stick to the virtual machine, not to the mac.
Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Below is an image of the internals of the stick.

Hi all
i have a problem.
its not related to only one pc but all windows xp machines ive used ( im not going down vista route at all).
nearly everytime i connect my phone/ppc to windows, it crashes, ie, i get the windows 32 process host or something has an error then the RAPC window with 1 minute countdown comes on and my computer crashes or restarts.
then if i connect my ppc, its fine.
its not only with 1 pocket pc, its with the 2-3 ive tried.
they all run windows mobile 6 or 6.1...
anybody have the same problem and know what to do? activesync 4.5, u can see the icon connecting and it has made the noise its found the pocket pc, then bam...
i couldnt find this topic anywhere in xda, dont know where else to look
Cheers
It is not the PPC's at all - rather incompatible hardware on your desktop, such as an installed dial-up modem or other network device.
I had similar difficulties back in time on a Dell desktop until I removed a special DS Sound Card. A friend of mine had similar problems until he removed - following my recommendation - his dial-up modem card.
You will have to figure out what device on your desktop causes this incompatibility - please: before plugging out anything, remove the installed drivers first!
oh man. they are both laptops. thats going to be tough to remove something/uninstall drivers - doable but its going to annoy me everytime i log in
Hmmm,
try running your pc in save mode and run only what is needed for ActiveSync to work - not a nice solution but at least you can determine if this is an incompatibility issue or not.
My Samsung Intercept wont connect to my computer, everytime I plug it in, I get USB device not recognized, how can I get it to be recognized? Im running android 2.2.1, and my computer is running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
I tried posting a link but the spam prevention police apparently wont let me post links until I have 8 posts. So I'll just quote:
First I tried to use Win 7′s XP mode, which was a total failure. The Windows stock Virtual PC cannot control any devices, it just reads them as belonging to the real computer. After a lot of searching I found the open source Oracle Virtual Box, which is Windows Virtual PC on crack. With Virtual Box, you can mount any number of operating systems to play around with. As a bonus it has the capability to see external devices as its own. All you need is an install disk for your operating system of choice. I had gotten the Intercept to work with both XP and 7 32 bit, so I chose to install a Win 7 32 virtual machine.
For all the specifics on how to install a virtual operating system in Virtual Box, read the user manual. Its large and technical, but skimming the first two chapters should tell you all you need to know to get started. The short version, you set up a partition for your virtual machine, you then “boot” the virtual machine with the install disk of your operating system of choice. You then go through all the normal installation steps, and bingo-bango you now have a virtual copy of XP/7/whatever.
Here is where things get hazy. I was under the impression that the virtual machine would be where I would see the phone. However for mysterious reasons, suddenly the phone now gives me the option to mount and my main Windows 7 64 has no problem letting me into the phones drive!
I don’t know why. I can close the virtual machine and still have access when I plug in. I wish I knew what the heck was going on and how a virtual 32 bit 7 convinced a real 64 bit 7 that the Intercept is OK, but I do not. All I know is that Virtual Box somehow worked for me, perhaps it can work for you. Other than that Virtual Box is a nifty tool I should have had long ago. Good luck!
UPDATE: I wrote this a couple months ago and while it did work, I have a funny feeling that its all just pure luck as to if Windows will bother to recognize the phone. I have computers it works fine on and some that refuse to see the phone no matter what I do. The whole key is to just keep trying, something will work eventually. If all else fails get an app like SwiFTP and move on with your life.

Thank you very much for this information, I will get to trying the Virtual Box and the SwiFTP, thank you again.
The above information you gave still didnt work :/, do you or anyone else know what I could do to fix?
Hello, I wanted to say that the whole process for the computer to see the Samsung Intercept is buggy to say the least. I have a good knowledge base of computers as I work as a Desktop Support technician for the past 10 years. I read many posts and replies. None seem to be concrete on a resolution. I tried the usual methods. I downloaded the Samsung SWUpdate+Patch. I downloaded the Sprint USB Modem drivers from Samsung's Web site. I also downloaded the custom files for the Kernel and custom recovery. The first thing I tried on all four of my computers was to install the Samsung USB Modem drivers. The second thing I did was to install the SWUpate+Patch software. My first test computer was a Compaq D500 desktop. Windows XP-SP3 with USB 1.0 ports and a USB 2.0. I placed my phone in USB Debugguing Mode. I then powered off my Phone. I held down the three magic keys to get the phone in "Download" mode. I checked Add/Remove Programs both programs were installed- Samsung USB Modem Driver and the SWUpdate. I first opened the Samsung SWUpdate program. I followed the onscreen instructions of the Samsung program. The program could not communicate with the phone. Bottom right corner of the program said disconneted. I tried chaning the Port Settings in the program to COM1, COM2, etc. All said disconnected. I tried opening the Samsung program several times. Restarting the phone, unplugging the battery etc. I also tried using a different USB cable besides the one that came with the phone. No communication. I tried the same process on another PC which had Win7Pro 32Bit SP1. Almost same results, but I had the computer install these three devices when I opened the Samsung program and connected my phone:Android UMS, S3C6410 Android ADB, CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) I thought I was good. Status still Disconnected. I restarted the computer tried the whole process again. This time the computer gave me three messages of "Device not Recognized." So I tried a few more different was to get the drivers into Device Manager nothing worked. I even tried that PDA2net app that app wouldn't see the phone wither. Then I looked into the PDA2net directory and saw some drivers .INFs that I thought might work.. I would get a little farther, but then the driver seemed to install and partially recognize the devices, but then a message said that it could start "Error 10" So I tried another computer. Windows 7-64bit. I knew this was going to be a long shot..and it was.. Samsung USB Modem Driver not supported on this version of Windows. So I tried my work computer Win7Enterprise 32Bit. Same issues Device not recognized three or four times. I tried the two USB cables for my phone the OEM one and Aftermarket. No luck. So I had my old trusty Dell D600 laptop. WinXP-SP3 32bit USB 1.0. I installed the Samsung USB Modem driver then the Samsung SWUpate app. I got my Recover.tar file dropped into the Bin dir. I opened the Samsung SWUpdate app and holy **** the damn program was able to connect to my phone I couldn't believe it.. I wanted to take a screen shot of it working just so I could make sure it wasn't B.S. I used my laptop with an Aftermarket USB Cable. I'm not sure if it's a Data USB cable or just a charging cable. I don't think there is two different cables as I've read many times on different fourms. I'm not sure why my laptop works with the phone. When my phone did finally connect it connected on COM3. So maybe it's a port setting/IRQ. I also turned off my Firewall each time just incase it was blocking communication.
If anyone has any questions please feel free to reply. I will try to help in any way possible. I wanted to say thanks to XDA Forum and to Super-6-1 on YouTube..you guys Helped Me more than you know.!!!!!
So I've downloaded and tried Wyse PocketCloud and AndroidVNC. Both will connect to my laptop (Ubuntu 10.04). Problem is, if I hit a button, open a menu, etc, it will show on my computer, but the "desktop," on the phone never updates. This is over wifi from my internal network, so I can't justify more than a second or two of lag.
Anyone else had this problem, or know of a fix?
Running a Samsung Vibrant, rooted, with Bionix V
I know this is a dead thread but I have the exact same problem. AndroidVNC worked perfectly when connecting to Windows 7 but I am trying the same device with Ubuntu and the screen just doesn't update.
Even disconnecting and reconnecting gives the same out-of-date screen. I suspect it to be an Ubuntu problem.
hey XDAs
received my omnia 7 on last friday and it´s everything i could´ve asked for!
but now i got a little problem...
at first, some facts: i´m on a macbook pro and i use the windows phone 7 connector (tried win 7 and zune via boot camp, too).
i tried to unlock with 2 different trys, a) with chevron and b) with some dialer code to get in the "diagnosis" menu........both tries failed!
but after b) i got a new "diagnosis" tile in my apps menu
now i have the problem, that my pc can´t recognize the phone anymore...win 7 and zune say "no phone connected" and the wp7 connector (mac) doesn´t do anything (should start automatically, when phone is plugged in) but i get a "new network device found" message where i need to configure the new device.
(in addition, i THINK that my phone doesn´t even load the battery through the usb port, so maybe my cable is broken?)
maybe i can´t connect my phone because of the "diagnosis" menu?? and how can i remove this app??? maybe i should do a factory reset?
so what´s the problem here??? even if i can´t do the unlock, it sucks not being able to put music, videos or even updates on my omnia ;(
really nobody?
I don't know anything about using Macs with a WP7, but on windows, you need yo make sure you have the latest Zune. Also, if you have hacked to allow tethering, you have also turned off the Zune sync function.

The problem is you aren't actually running windows, it's still a virtual system. The USB controls are still through your mac. You will not be able to connect your win7 phone to a mac, that is not possible, and your wasting your time even attempting it. Sell the mac and buy a laptop, you will be happier.

If he's using VMWare fusion and accessing a Win7 guest via OSX host, then you're right.
However, if he's dual-booting Win7 through Boot Camp, then it should still work.
Samsung phones, like LG phones, have a way of switching the USB mode to allow Zune or allow tethering (the latter killed by Mango).
Monkeytown will have to follow the instructions for changing the USB mode back to the one that allows for Zune (on LG phones, it's called MS COMPOSITE).
i´m running a dual boot system, no vmware...
and microsoft released the wp7 connector themselves for mac, so it SHOULD work :/
i think i never saw an option of tethering in the settings menu, so how can i do that? i mean, change the usb mode
/e: i managed to get another omnia 7, and it works like a charm via my usb cable and mac connector
so....i would like to see the instructions that i should follow -.-
Hi,
My girlfriend has some issues with her W10 PC. She's on the normal builds (not Insider), latest updates.
The PC is able to read other USB sticks, so the ports are not broken. The phone is identified by the PC, but it only works as a charger. When the state is changed to MTP, nothing appears in My Computer.
I tried to hook it to my W7 work laptop and everything was fine. I have to add that no drivers for the phone were installed on my part.
Any idea if this is a known glitch with W10? I'm on the Skip Ahead builds, so I don't think it's relevant if I check it on my personal laptop.
Thing is, the phone was seen by the PC just fine until a while ago (I don't know what ago means, girls have weird time perception when it comes to technology).
Any hints on what can I do to fix this?
Thanks!
I use Windows 10 Pro with latest updates and Windows and Odin see the phone but not adb for some reason.
