I'll try the updated SDK drivers when I get home and let you know.
This means you've then got to install some other, ephemeral, undocumented, unsupplied drivers that I only found out about through the androidforums here: Link to The correct drivers for ADB don't seem to be included with the NPS download, at least not the NPS IH4 download linked on the .uk website. I was fooled by it being shown as an 'Android 1.0' device.īasically, 'cos Windows isn't finding the drivers, it can't connect to the phone at all, so when you try to flash the recovery image, it's just sitting there saying. Makes sense in a way, as the base build is Cupcake (1.5). It turns out that I might need to use the drivers from the Android 1.5 SDK, not the 1.0 SDK i listed. The problem is that Windows isn't finding drivers for the generic 'Android 1.0' device listed when the phone is in FASTBOOT. Windows\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
The biggest problem I'm having seems to be that because Windows can't find drivers, it can't find the phone in FASTBOOT, hence nothing else works. Again tried forcing Windows XP to pick up the generic 'Android 1.0' device drivers from the SDK (android-sdk-windows-1.0_r2.zip), and again told that Windows can't find any suitable drivers for that device. Installed the 'USB drivers' from the CD that came with the phone, tried again. Booted into FASTBOOT, got the Windows driver request for an Android 1.0 Device. Downloaded NPS from the Samsung website, installed it. I've just tried this entire process again on a PC that has never had any of the Samsung software installed on it previously. I tried pointing Windows at the drivers from the Android SDK, but it told me that there were no drivers compatible with the device.īefore this phone goes through the window, and I start hunting down O2 and Samsung technical staff with a hunting rifle?
As far as I can tell, that's all I SHOULD be able to see, correct? I can connect to the phone via USB and see the memory cards, but that's about it. I've had a Galaxy for about a month now, it's on firmware H6, and it's hacking me right off that I can't update it, either 'legally' or 'illegally'! It's in Debug mode, as required, and the horrid horrid horrid waste-of-drive-space Samsung NPS software is installed. I followed these instructions to the letter, but hit a snag in that whenever I launched into FASTBOOT mode, Windows had a fit trying to find the driver for an 'Android 1.0 device', and by the time it had decided that it couldn't find one, the phone had just continued booting into the normal OS. I'm no computer dummy, but I'm a bit lost here.
