Need a little help setting up my dev environment on Windows 7.
I had it working perfectly on my old PC running XP. I have since bought a laptop with 7 and am trying to set up a dev environment on it but am having issues with the drivers (at least as far as I can tell).
I have:
Android SDK installed - including all available components
Java 1.6 SDK and JRE installed - environment variable is set
SEUS and PC Companion installed
Rooted my phone to 026 using the original method - done on old machine
USB Debugging switched on on my phone
When connecting my phone, I get no option to install the driver. My SDCard also automatically mounts itself, which i'm not sure if that's related to my issue. Any ideas how to stop it from doing that?
When I try to update the driver software via Device Manager (browse to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER), I get 'Windows could not find driver software for your device'.
I've read through a few threads, particularly the rooting issues thread, and googled it in quite a few different ways with no luck. The closest I could find is XperiaX10iUser's post in this thread. Running USBDeview as mentioned, i can only see 'SEMC Flash Device' and 'Sony Ericsson X10i' that would be relevant. However, when I try to uninstall selected devices it does nothing (no error, just doesn't uninstall).
Running 'adb devices' returns a list of devices with nothing in it.
Any help/ideas would be much appreciated as i'm going insane here!
Are u maybe running 64bit win7?

Uninstall your Java and start from scratch using the 32bit versions of Java, and run USBDeview without the phone plugged in if you haven't done already.
Yes, I'm running 64bit Win 7.

I installed 32bit Java (1.6.0_20) and reinstalled all the Android SDK components. No change in symptoms.
I have run USBDeview with the phone plugged in and without.
i'm running win7 x64 and it works normally.
another day i tried install a theme (without have seus or pccompanion installed on my pc) and i had the same problem. after i installed pccompanion, it worked normally.
remember that you must have usb debugging on, to adb devices show your phone.

I definitely have USB Debugging on and PC Companion installed.
Where do the drivers for the X10i actually come from? The phone, SDK Drivers component, SEUS or PC Companion?
What am I missing?
Does anyone else's SDCard mount itself when plugging the phone in? It didn't do this on my old machine.
EDIT: I was able to remove USB devices using USBDeview. Just need to right-click and 'Run as administrator' (which is odd given that my user is admin). Didn't help me installing the driver though. Still can't find anything when pointing to <sdkdir>\USB_DRIVER.
My <sdkdir> is C:\Android\SDK. It shouldn't matter that it's not the default path should it?
EDIT2: Apparently, DoubleTwist has an auto USB mount option. Doesn't make a difference to the driver issue though.
Ok listen to this, it will seem a little crazy but i wonder if it will help
Install pdanet the desktop version ( its a program used for usb tether ) the idea is that this program installs the sonyericsson drivers with it, just follow the instructions of the installation process and tell me how it goes..

Hi sir, do you have time? I cant figure out what is wrong with my x10. When i try to flash those Generic Stock Rom, i get to have errors flashing. It aborts sometime when flashing system.sin and other sin depending on the tft file... i dunno what version my phone is but my pc detects it with flashmode. When im using Seus, it fails flashing in about 90% of the process... when booting my phone, just a quick vibrate with green flashes once. Do u have skype account? Hope u have time and can help me. Most of the links in xda our outdated. And i know my phone is outdated too. Thanks and more power
I've heard people say they have gotten Odin to work on their 64 bit versions of windows, but I cant. I am able to use it on a computer running Windows 7 - 32bit, but not either of the computers I've got running 64 bit.
I've definitely installed the 64 bit the drivers. I can access the phone in ADB on these computers. Odin sees the phone and throws up a com port, but I get a weird error message with Chinese characters when I try to move forward with the flash.
Anyone have a definitive answer? Is it possible to use Odin on Win 7 64bit?
I flashed the leaked J12 with Odin on my 64bit Windows 7 laptop without any trouble.
I flashed with Odin on my W7 64bit desktop. Had a little trouble with it sticking on the verifying files at the beginning, but restarted it and it ran fine the second time. That's the only experience I've had with Odin. Just though I'd let you know that it works on my 64bit machine.
Thanks guys. I dont know what the hiccup is on my end. I might go through my drivers again just to make sure that isnt the issue.
I would highly suspect that the drivers are the issue as have used Odin on 2 separate 64bit machines. Make Sue that after u download the Sammy drivers, that they are installed, and installed correctly.
they call me...kick ass
I was never able to make any win7 system recognize my vibrant in dl mode at all, 32 or 64 bit, no matter what drivers i tried. I even tried to extract the 64 bit drivers to the 32 bit Os as I had seen mentioned in a thread some people had success with. Xp ran it like a champ on the first attempt.

I know were talking about different phones here but I've been scouring the internet trying to find a solution to a problem I'm having right now. when switching from 1 custom ROM to another, it was required that I flash to stock EC05, then flash to EE?? my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 wouldnt work properly (kept getting stuck in boot.bin in ODIN0 but my old faithful Netbook with Windows XP Home SP3 (x86) workd flawlessly!
I'm talking 3 HOURS of trying to get the Win7x64 to work properly and had my Epic reflashed with XP in 3minutes and 27 seconds, not counting time to install Samsung Drivers into XP (30-45 seconds)
Granted this is my experiance, but before I got x64 I was running with Win7 X86 and still never had problems. I have read through Google search that other people with x64 Windows 7 had problems. This is my story only, best of luck to ya, but I am now ONLY going to use my ol Netbook (or x86 virsion of Windows) to ODIN my phone.
Never Stop Wanting More from your devices.
Im using 64 windows OS and i don't have a problem. If your device is not recognize by your PC just reinstall the samsung drivers and you are good to go.
Sometimes you have to go into the safe mode options and disable driver enforcement policy. Then it will work.

Yesterday, I upgraded my new white dell streak to from 1.6 to 2.2 using the QDLtool. BTW, its easy as pie, it took about 30 mins, even with the extra task for using a 64-bit OS!!! I used the phone as i would normally yesterday and everything, GPS, internet, Facebook, etc worked perfectly.
Today, I try to do anything web related (i.e. Market, internet, Facebook, etc.) and I get 'A network error has occurred' message. I have tested the phone service and it seems to be working fine.
Has anyone else ran into this or have ideas of what I might try? Thanks in advance, cheers.
SOLVED
****PROBLEM SOLVED****
I FEEL LIKE A NOOB FOR THIS...
At any rate, I solved this problem by resetting the APN to default.
Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > Press the 'Menu' key > Reset to default > check the radio button under ATT US.
Data network seems to be working fine at this time. I will post if anything changes.
How much experience did you have before using the QDL tool with installing custom ROM's? I just got a Dell Streak White and haven't had any success. Although I haven't messed with the QDL tool after hearing of some folks bricking their phone, and not having a way out. This is my first android phone and I am a little nervous and inexperienced with hacking/installing custom ROM's.

No experience at all for me. I had never even touched an android phone prior to the streak.
I haven't heard of anyone bricking their phones with QDL when following the guide, many have bricked them by other means though. It took 10 minutes from unzipping the download to rebooting into 2.2 for me. The software did all the work. I have heard of several people successfully unbricking with QDL.
Some people have issues with getting drivers installed but the tool will not act without the correct drivers so there is little risk there. If stock 2.2 is your goal there is no easier way that I have seen. After QDL is done I think the process on to 1.5.5 is easier also.
There is a guide at streakdroid.com

Qdl is simple. Its mostly automated. I havent seen anyone brick it with qdl yet. Drivers can be a pain, but fairly simple if your familiar with windows at all. Easier with vista/seven in my opinion.

that's good to know. I have quite a few options. I have a linux machine with ubuntu, an older win XP with 32 windows, and a W7 64 bit machine. The XP machine is hella slow though, so the W7 machine is my preferential option. A smidge concerned about the extra step since it's a 64 bit machine. I'm going to look into it tomorrow since I am off work for the rest of the year for the holidays. I'll report back with my results.
I'm coming from rooting my G2..Now I'm gonna try to root my girls streak. I advised her to get the phone and now feel bad shes still stuck with 1.6. I'm gonna attempt this tomorrow as it sounds easy. Just wondering why you don't have to root in order to update. Is there no root necessary to update?

The extra 64-bit steps were easy to do. I did install the wrong driver at first. I installed the 'Modem 9002' driver instead of the 'Diagnostic tool 9002'. I just went back to 'Device Manager', removed the wrong driver and installed the correct one. After that, make sure you install ADB drivers and then use the QDL tool. As stated previously by others, the tool does all the work. I hope this helps. let us know how things go.

My previous experience comes from hacking a few iphones, then I switched to android devices. The biggest difference I have seen is that the android hack require more command line tasks than the iphone. DO NOT FEAR THE COMMAND LINE, MAKE IT YOUR B****!!!!!
But a tip I'll give is, ALWAYS follow the guides STEP BY STEP, and make sure you know where the files you are working with are!!! A lot of the bricks come from poor file management i.e. the fastboot or update.pkg file not in the correct directory or file name is wrong and needs to be changed.
The QDL tools was suggested for the white streak as it slightly different from the black unit in the form a of preventative hacking measure, at least that is the only different that I am aware of.
Do your research and good luck, cheers
keep us posted

Nothing I have read required the streak to be rooted before hand but my device was rooted. i have not rooted the build yet either. If she isnt going do anything that really requires rooted then she may not even need it. But 2.2 is pretty smooth so far and she will most likely benefit from having the better device with 2.2 than being rooted, IMHO.
The entire process took about 30 minutes and after fixing the APN issue the only other problem I had was what UI i was going to use.(Currently running Laurncher PRO - with the purchased key...AWESOME!!!!!)
QDL Tool how to (I used the streakdroid guide):

Since I've tried other methods of installing ROM's previously by using the W7 machine it wouldn't work. So I did a system restore to get rid of the previous stuff. Now it won't even let me install the the ADB drivers can be downloaded from Dell: ftp.dell.com/Handheld/R288920.exe
It just say's error on install. So I tried it on my super old XP machine which was brutally painfully slow. And it won't even update the driver manually. It just says "The specified location does not contain information about your hardware." I will say that under device manager on the XP machine it just lists it in other, like it should, as a Generic Volume instead of the Qualcomm stuff. Weird.
So just outta curiosity, since this froyo build puts your baseband at "00", wouldn't it be possible to then use's dells officially 2.2 unlocked rom and flash it through recovery? I mean using the update.pkg file from your sd card?
It sounds like it worked, but did it? If so which method did you end up using?
In the streakdroid guide there is a command line task you needed to execute before doing anything. To the best of my knowledge that task set WIN 7 to run in a testing mode which allowed for the ADB drivers to be installed properly.

I was wondering if you had to do the command line portion prior to installing the ADB drivers. Going to give that a go. Wish I could just get it to work with the XP machine, but I can't get it to recognize in the device manager that it's plugged in without turning the device on. It makes the sound as if it realizes a device is connected, but nothing ever shows up in the device manager. grrrrrrrrr

What kind of machine are you using? xp/vista/7?
This sounds easy...I will try tonight using Streakdroid guide...good to hear from someone doing this with a White Dell Streak and being successful.
I have read that others have flashed the 2.2 *.pkg with success. The QDL installs dell's 2.2 during its process. I stopped there and have had no issues othe than the APN. Now that I think about it, I think that the QDL 2.2 is meant only to write over the device itself with out any of the specific carrier bloatware. And because of that it did not know what APN to the use until I re-registered.
At any rate, I think this link may help you out:

using the W7 64bit machine. This is where I am at.....at about 8 hours in at this point. I've pretty much given up for today though.
Just copied and pasted from another forum:
Ok so I have the option of 2 machines to try this on.........and I'm going on about 7 hours with no luck with either of them. One is a hella old laptop with Windows XP on it. The other is a newish laptop with 64 bit W7 on it. I originally tried it with the XP machine. I can get the drivers DLed and installed successfully on the XP machine, on the W7 machine is immediately says failed when I try an install. I should preface this with saying that I previously had the Dell PC suite installed on the W7 machine using a different version than what's listed in the streakdroid guide. Then onto plugging in the phone on the XP machine if I do that battery out the volume up/down method it makes the sound as if something is plugged in, however it isn't visible in device manager. Not that is matters since I can't even get the drivers installed on the W7 machine, but it's the same. Makes sound as if something is plugged in, but nothing under device manager. When going through the guides it say's it should fail on install when hooking up the device for the first time........wel nope not on either machine. It installs it correctly as a mass USB storage device. Dammit.
I have been trying to find Windows 7 drivers for my Streak and have had zero luck getting anything to work. I am trying to root my device but without getting the drivers to work I think I am stuck. I have searched this forum and others but have had no luck.
Any help please? Thank you.
i just finished putting djsteves 1.9 on and i was like you. i was lost with all of the write ups and what not. here is what i did to figure it all out.
dl all files and then run the tutorial. i know there is extra stuff that is not needed but i got mine done and it wasnt too hard,
http://streakdroid.com/?page_id=92
start there and then just follow skip the first part about how to install rom. that is last.
The drivers are actually on the MicroSD card that came with your Streak. Look for Dell_PC_Suite.
That installs the ADB drivers as well as the PC Suite (that I just ignored from that point onwards)
That's how I got the drivers to work for Rooting my Streak on Windows 7 x64

The info:
-Running GingerBlur 4.5
-NOT Unlocked
-Using Windows 7 64bit
-Have used multiple versions of RSD Lite
-Moto drivers installed.
Whats the problem? RSD Lite 5.3 will NOT recognize my atrix when its plugged in. I have tried everything i know of (reboot device, PC, change USB ports, install and reinstall all drivers and RSD) and nothing.
It simply will not recognize my device, even though my computer does and says all drivers installed.
Im trying to unlock and flash a new ROM. Can Gingerblur possibly be causing the issue? Ive read that Win7 64bit may be the problem? Any and all help would be appreciated
i beleve its been updated to 5.5 and also install your drivers and use the usb plug in the back of your pc
EDIT ;;;;;;!Ican confirm its been updated to 5.5. when i googled rsd lite 5.5 it
was the first topic /download on xda
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I heard also that WIN7 64bit has some problems RSD.
Try using a different comp with lower WIN version (I know for sure that Vista 32bit works great).
I don't think that the GingerBlur can have any effect, its just a mod, something a little more complex then a theme. besides I unlocked my BL when I was running GladiAtrix, which is another mod, and it went without problems...
Good luck

I have version 5.6 on my home computer. It is probably higher than that now as I have had it for a while.
I use Windows 7 64 bit without any problems.
You should definitely try a different USB port. There is a common issue of one USB port not seeing devices, whuile the port next to it does.
Uninstall the drivers and Motohelper if you have it, then reinstall Motohelper. I have found that installing Motohelper is better for driver install. You do not need to install the drivers seperately if you install Motohelper, as they are installed with Motohelper.
Boot into fastboot, connect your phone to your PC, bring up a command prompt and, in my case, I do 'cd C:\moto-fastboot' which is the location I have moto-fastboot at. (Obviously you need moto-fastboot on your PC). Then type in 'moto-fastboot devices'. If your computer sees your phone it will be listed and you should be good to go. The just 'moto-fastboot reboot' to reboot your phone.
Thanks for the replies, however i did use an older computer, Vista to be exact. It recognized my phone instantly, i flashed the SBF...
Failed to boot 2... FML
I've been looking all around and am currently going to flash the pudding 2.3.4 SBF. Is that a good call?

I probably should have just tried that before flashing the pudding SBF. Hmm, its currently executing the file, so im kinda SOL at this point.
I upgraded to 5.5 RSD and it still wouldnt pick up my phone? Tried multiple USB ports. Its not my computer not recognizing it, because it chimes and picks up my phone just fine...its RSD.
Well, after flashing the pudding 2.3.4, its stops loading at the white ATT screen, phone will not continue booting. Suggestions?
How long on that screen?
It can take 10-15 minutes to boot up after flashing.

I tried also to use Rsdlite on my Win 7 64bit laptop without any luck. My other laptop with same software installed normally works but not the one I had with me at the time. I ended up using a very old XP laptop with shattered screen and no battery and worked like a charm.
I had exactly the same problem with Motorola software update as well. On Some machines they simply refuse to work.
Have you tried booting in RSD Support mode?
Turn the phone off.
Push Volume + rocker and keep it pressed while turning the phone on.
That will boot up the phone in RSD mode and I've always had success with that method.
Hope that helps.

RSD mode isnt the problem, getting RSD Lite on the computer to recognize the device is the problem.
In my experience, MotoHelper is the culprit. Find the drivers itself without motohelper and try. I figured this out putting a Photon in diag mode, it wont let me read, said the port was already opened. Well was the motohelper service.
Uninstall all drivers and install just Motorola Drivers:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Drivers/Motorola-Handset-USB-Driver-for-Windows-32-bit-38123.shtml
or the 64 bit version.

In my experience, MotoHelper is the culprit. Find the drivers itself without motohelper and try. I figured this out putting a Photon in diag mode, it wont let me read, said the port was already opened. Well was the motohelper service.
Uninstall all drivers and install just Motorola Drivers:

or the 64 bit version.
Hope it helps

There are so many contradicting things w/ RSD lite and Win7 64bit. I ended up just manually installing the drivers, still wouldnt work on my PC, had to us XP on my netbook.
I flashed pudding 2.3.4 last night and tried messing with Rom Manager, but it says my phone no longer has root priviledges (had root previously, was running gingerblur 4.5). Superuser is installed on my phone however. Rom Manager states...
"you must root your phone for ROM manager to function. Superuser was not found at "/system/bin/su" or "/system/xbin/su". Use Google Search on your computer to find instructions to root your phone."
How should i reattain root? The SBF was supposed have root preinstalled i thought. Can i flash the BL unlock, use Rom Racer and flash Darkside or something? Or will i not have root still?
I havent quite kept up w/ the Atrix development since the BL was unlocked, and there seems to be many methods and multiple uncleaned threads.
Now this thread is no longer about RSD...but basically restoring root without flashing the wrong thing and bricking my device.
yea when I went from gingerblur gingerbread. I had to re root I just used gingerbreak again and it worked
