Hi Guys.
It might seem funny. I do not have a PDAphone but I have a problem with my HPiPAQ hx2795. And I would greatly appreciate any comments or tips.
Here is the story:
I was trying to update setup/ROM. the first three updates went well. The forth one, didn't go through; it was showing time-out. it happened twice, the third time, I noticed a message on the left lower corner of the device,saying Connect A/C to flash, I tried to do it quickly before getting time-out. I guess I didn't do it quick enough. Anyway I plugged in the power to the cradle and it started flashing the ROM then I got the time-out error again. The screen reset and stuck @100% not going any further. To make it worse to me, it was not detectable by MS ActiveSync at all. I tried the active chat with the tech support of HP they said all is left for me to do is "going to parrot mode (= USB /serial Mode) and if the OS is not corrupted then I can repeat the ROM update and fix it" which I did with no luck as even in parrot mode, the device would noticed that the USB is connected but the PC would NOT recognize the device.
While I was searching the internet, I came across your site, beautiful and very interesting. I saw some people is using a program called NVID.exe.
IS THERE ANY SOFTWARE LIKE NVID.EXE THAT I CAN USE IT TO SOLVE MY PROBLEM on this HPiPAQ.
I was wondering about using something like that to get the device detectable by PC again. Is is possible even theoretically?
Please HELP.
I greatly appreciate all your comments and tips in advance.
Did you tried to do a clean reset? Or to put the device in bootloader or white bootloader mode and try to connect and see if recognize it?
Hard reset: butons 1+4+reset
Clean reset: buttons 1+3+power+reset
White bootloader mode: buttons 2+4+reset
what you call it "white bootloader mode" they call it "parrot mode". and yes I did try that. In that mode it shows Pre-BL: 1.00.04 that shows USB is connected or USB Cable is removed; however; my Win XP cannot recognize the new USB device.
Is there any way to make PC recognize this "HPiPAQ hx2795 in Parrot Mode". I mean any driver for WinXP to recognize this USB device as reachable device (updatable ROM)? Maybe that could be the "MAGIC KEY" to solve all people's problem suffering from such an issue?
I hear about mytt11.exe alot in posts here and there. What does it do? Where can I find it in order to give it a try?

Dear Folk,
I bought a brand new Nexus S and it is bugging when connecting to my computer (WinXP, SP2). I mean when allowing debugging, clicking on the connection icon to activate the USB connection, it switches to the next screen with orange Android icon but straight away, it comes back to the invite screen with the green Android icon as picture attached.
I've done many forums before writting you and most of them where talking about drivers or rooting phone which I don't want yet. Seems drivers are good as when plugging, I hear the sound from my pc and icon is recognized as 'Android phone'.
Anyone can help me, please ? Let me know if more info is needed from my side.
Cheers,

Check whether there is something wrong with your computer. Try using PDAnet software for installing the driver again.
Still have issues do a factory reset.
Settings-->Privacy-->Factory data reset.
Thanks saranyan !
I did the factory reset and was still not working properly even with PDANet installed. Suddenly I had a light and changed the USB port ... plugged my phone on the back PC ... it was working fine like magic !!!
Anyway, thanks for having answered me. Topic can be closed !
Hi All,
Not posted in here for a while but always the first place i come when I have any issues.
Received my Z5 today. Everything is sweet but I cant seem to get the phone to connect to my PC so Sony Companion doesn't pick it up. There's nothing in Device manager and nothing comes up in the notification bar like it did on my Z. The phone does charge and vibrate when the USB cable is initially plugged in. Am i missing something obvious or is there something i need to do.
I have tried it on both Win 7 and Win 10. Installed the companion first on win 10 but not on Win 7. I haven't tried sony's supplied cable as i cant see this helping.... (trying it now)
Any help would be appreciated
Cheers
EDIT:
Well this has made me slightly embarrased. Tried the Sony cable and it works fine. Detected straight away and asked if i want to install the software. I will leave this here incase anyone else comes here with the same 'problem'. My dunce hat will be on for the rest of the evening.
EDIT2:
Well it turns out i was trying to use a power only USB cable. I feel like a double twat now. Feel free to remove this post to save my blushes and to keep the forum tidy.
? We all make mistakes, no problem.
Hi guys. Help greatly appreciated.
I bought a Cenovo MiniPC from Gearbest 2 months ago and from day 1 I've been getting blue screen errors. I immediately reported this to Gearbest and as you can imagine with the time difference between here (Sweden) and there (China) I was getting slow responses. Cut a long story short they 1st offered me a $20 refund from a $90 device, I accepted at the time as the errors have not appeared for over a week and thought it could be the end of it. 2 weeks after this the errors came back and it wasn't just blue screen on startup but it would freeze up during a session. I again reported this demanding for a full refund and they refused. I opened a dispute with PayPal and after a while they offered me a further $20 which I refused, they then sent me an email and said if I close the dispute they will give me a full refund. I was hesitant whether this was a scam but I went along with it and to their word I got a refund 3 days later.
After I got my refund I thought I may as well try and fix it myself now so I started in BIOS and fiddled with some switches for the emmc, one was 'secure erase', I don't know what was going through my head or what I thought the outcome would be but I enabled it and restarted. Now it just boots into BIOS and I am guessing the reason is that the emmc is now blank.
So ive now got a minipc with a blank emmc, I have loaded a bootable copy of Windows 10 setup to a usb and forced a usb boot in the bios but nothing happens.
I have opened the case to look for a emmc card I can take out and put in my laptop to reformat with an os but I couldn't find anything, there was a metal grill on one side that looks like it is hiding stuff and it is impossible to lift the grill off.
There is a tf card reader on the side so i am thinking that I can extract a Android image onto the card and boot from the card but I am not sure how and whether it will work.
Can i get some assistance in this please.

Hello, I've got same problem, 0xc000025 error code, arrived my tentative to upgrade the PC to Windows 10 (the PC arrived with 8.1 installed)
No way to boot my USB in the bios. Have you solved? Someone can help?
try and format the usb stick to 4k sectors before using the win10 media creator, think that's how i did it
Thank you for replying and sorry for the late response.
Have you got the same mini pc?
How do you format stick into 4k sectors? What format did you use (Fat32,NTFS...)?
fat32, in windows format dialog box its "allocation unit size" set to 4096
to boot from usb the stick has to be recognised as bootable before u can run the bios command to override boot device
yep i figured it out thanks. ive now got another problem and this is totally my fault if it cant be fixed...
in bios i unchecked the option to use integrated graphics so now when i boot i see nothing

intesting, daft thing to do tho, u could try borrow a usb gfx card?
Does anybody know how to reset the bios, because I've disabled the usb ( stupid x 10000 ) and I cannot use the usb ports (mouse and keyboard)
same problem here... I've disabled xhci support and no USB right now. The problem is that removing the battery does not make the bios to default.
I've still got the issue with no picture. I need to reset the bios but not sure how. Or maybe I can connect it to my laptop and get it working from there
yo. just got myself a cenovo mini pc 2, and it runs windows 10, but it's not legit. That bothers me, so I want to run android or linux. You guys mention that it's running a BIOS, but i think perhaps the mini pc 2 is running non-BIOS/EFI, because there's no preboot screen, and USB drives don't boot up at all.
Hi !
Did anyone got a chance at installing another os ?
I have a Cenovo mini pc 2 and I had troubles with sound. I had no issue for a week or two and then (maybe windows update, who knows) the sound would switch to the speakers output instead of the hdmi one. (it was plugged on my tv) so I decided (stupidly) to uninstall the audio components with the hope that windows would redetect and reinstall them with better drivers. Well, that didn't work and now in my device manager are two unknown components which don't work and I have no sound at all. If anyone found the global drivers for the device, or could make me a screenshot of their devices panel...
In the meantime I would probably try my luck to install openelec or kodibuntu on it but I couldn't manage to boot on bios. Did anyone tried using the Advanced startup option of windows 10 ?

I still have the problem with no graphics.
I know the problem as I disabled the onboard graphics in bios... I know **** head move.
I have tried to remove the lead leading from the bios to the motherboard in hopes it will reset it but nothing.
Is there anything I can do from USB do you think? Such as flash a new bios.

I have a Cenovo Mini PC 2 with 2GB/32GB. BIOS/EFI/set-up is accessed via pressing F2 after boot. Sometimes it will accept the F2 request, sometimes not. Not sure if this is an issue related to the keypress timing after boot being critical, or the unit being generally fussy (maybe selection of which of the 4 + 1 USB sockets for keyboard is critical?). Only wandered around the BIOS settings a few times but there was all manner of Android-specific options available.
Strangely, when the F2 key is accepted, a message is flashed briefly on the screen saying "Esc key pressed" or similar, as if the "Esc" key was the BIOS access key.
The NexBox T11 InsydeH20 UEFI / BIOS / set-up options are near identical to the Cenovo Mini PC 2. There is a video walkthough of the Netbox T11 Setup Utility although it does not mention the very first screen and options seen when F2 is pressed. The Cenovo Mini PC 2 very first screen titled "First Page" can be viewed at

I initially had issues attempting USB boot of Macrium Reflect with my Cenovo Mini PC 2. Eventually solved by one or more amendments of changing brand of USB stick, using Rufus to generate the bootable USB stick via formatting to FAT32 with 4096 bytes cluster size, and disabling fast UEFI in settings. USB stick was inserted into the Mini PC 2 and UEFI / BIOS was accessed by pressing F2 immediately after boot. From the first setting screen, "Boot Manager" was selected and the USB device was visible and able to be highlighted to boot from.
Hi,
Can someone please share the wireless drivers for the minipc2?
I did a fresh windows 10 install and can seem to enable wifi and device manager the wireless adapter shows an yellow triangle.
I've tried with SomeoneYouNeverKnow drivers but it didn't solve this issue...
Thank you

Graphics drivers for cenovo pc mini 1
I Had all the issues which is in this thread so i took the steps as follows it came with windows 10 dual booting android when i looked on the partitions it was a joke several all using up space i entered bios disabled secure emmc created a windows 8.1 32 bit usb boot disk using rufus selecting gpt also fat 32 16k sectors , it worked once i entered install i delete those partitions all of them until i had a single 32 gig partition which i installed a clean windows 8.1 leaving me 20 gigs after install now the problem i have like a idiot i forgot to take a note of the device id vendor etc of the display which does not even appear in the basic adaptor tree in device manager ,, i have tried several drivers but none worked the website who made this device needs a good slap, no drivers no support but a nice device with much potential and why lock the bios to 32bit? what is wrong with these people in the mean time
if anyone has the drivers for this device please share them i would be grateful and if needed i can make a guide on how to turn this little device in to a full windows computer its locked on windows 8 in the bios and most settings in the bios is locked to but i have obtained bios editor tools for this american trends i will give it a try later once i have full gpu control the rest i do not care as it will be used with bluetooth but intel hd drivers or the device if would be appreciated
Kind Regards
Hello,
i have a big problem with an Allview windows 10 tablet, during windows 10 reset i got a blue screen and my tablet got stuck into a boot loop restarting after windows logo appears. It didnt boot from windows usb stick that i made with rufus in multiple ways with different settings and when i was trying to get it boot from usb i accidentally disabled XHCI or EHCI from bios ,the attached keyboard does not respond, otg cable connected keyboard does not respond, touch not working.
Any solution will be greatly appreciated,
Thank you.
The only option I can suggest is to open it up, desodder the battery (as it's soldered to the motherboard). Wait for a couple of minutes (maybe even hours) and then solder the battery back in and see if the BIOS has been reset.
This may work similarly to taking out the CMOS battery and putting it back in.
I can provide you with this info as I've just stumbled upon your post having the same issue as you. I haven't yet tried this method as I don't have the tools required to desolder the battery right now but I'll post an update as soon as I can to let you know if it worked.
There's also a debug header available on the board but no resources online on how to use it.
