Official Windows RT 8.1 ethernet adapter - Windows RT General

They say it not available before because the driver didn't support connected standby. I don't sure about the driver support for other adapter.

It will work but you will have to install the drivers manually using these instructions:

Phone not mounting

After flashing Emerald Envy my phone does not mount anymore, and yes i uninstalled and reistalled drivers again, changed the port location, everything. Anybody?
Bad USB cable maybe? My stock USB cable will charge just fine but if I use it to try and mount my phone nothing shows up anymore.

Does your phone make the connection noise on the computer? If so go to control panel>system> device manager find Samsung Android as either Other or in USB and click it and hit update drivers and wait while Windows finds the 5 drivers it needs. I have 2 phones, all of a sudden one could connect and one wouldn't. Updated the drivers and now one shows up as F and the other as E..go figure.
Turn on usb debugging if it's off. Turn off usb debugging if its on.
I tried all of this and still nothing guys anything else?

Windows Update wouldn't get any of the drivers for me (Windows 7 Ultimate, SP1) so I had to install the ones that came with one of the OneClickRoot zips.

Step-By-Step: Get USB 3 Ports Working on Win 8 (For Issues With ADB/Fastboot and RR)

You need to install Win7's USB drivers on Win8 in order to get ADB/Fastboot working on Win 8. I drove myself mad until some kind soul here (can't remember who) provided the following link. Hope this helps some of you exasperated with getting RumRunner working.
Plugable

be warned, I have tried this 3 times already, and at some point throughout, on EVERY try, my computer would just STOP recognizing my USB devices, and I would have to use a recovery image on my computer because i couldnt log in to my desktop.
YMMV, but it didnt work at all for me
I made this guide. What I had to do was edit some Windows8 settings and install the drivers manually to get them to work.
This worked beautifully for me on Windows 8.1 RTM x64, thanks much.
I tried all this and still couldn't use Fastboot. My fix was in BIOS. I disabled xHCI mode in USB under advanced tab and everything is fine.
Worked great for me! Thanks!

Hi.I am creating a thread on this problem and I am using your idea on it and I will give credit to you too.
thanks alot.
Just wanted to let you guys know I got it working by installing pdanet. It installed it's drivers and everything worked after that.

My laptop has 2 USB 3 ports and 1 USB 2 port. fastboot/adb doesn't work on the 3s. I always use the 2 port and it works perfectly fine.
Guys the problems with windows 8 and windows 8.1 are normally the usb 3.0 drivers. Intel have not posted windows 8 drivers for series 7 and series 8. You need to modify the windows 7 drivers with other inf files. I have done the job for you so you can manually install the drivers.
The intel series 7 64 bit can be installed from here:

I wasn't aware HTC released 8.1 drivers. I will give these a try. Thanks!
I just made a usb stick carrying win7 to boot off of on my girl's win8.1 laptop. Works wonderfully, the only issue i had when using this guide was i had to manually set the boot sector after finishing running the application.

[Q] USB 3.0 Connection issues

I'm not having any issues with the MTP connection but when i tick the usb 3.0 transfer box, the device is no longer there.
Windows 7 i downloaded the drivers from the samsung website. I can transfer no problems over the MTP but as soon as i switch the device just disappears from my computer. Just a bit confusing, if anyone could tell me what i did wrong or if i need to download anything else much appreciated!
T-mobile of that changes anything

You have proper USB 3.0 drivers for the xhci controller that it's plugged into? What chipset drives your USB 3 ports?

Updated HTC Drivers?

As some of you may know, Windows 8 and 8.1 kills ADB and Fastboot. Does anybody have any workarounds?
Right now I can only get "Device Failed Enumeration" in device manager.
We really need HTC to send out some updated drivers.

http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/08/koush-releases-universal-adb-driver-for-windows/
I already tried the universal drivers, still doesn't work.
I ended up using Mavericks, since I triple boot I have windows, OS X and Ubuntu at my disposal. Quite nice really.
But, I would like to get this working in the future.
This will only work if you have Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller. But I have done this and mine is working fine.

I do have an Intel USB 3 extensible controller along with the z77 chipset but I was using one of my USB 2 ports.
I'll have to try tomorrow.

I'm guessing you tried the latest HTC Sync/drivers and they still aren't working on 8.1?
Link to 2.4.11.0 drivers/sync manager
I'm on Linux, so I have no idea if they are working or not, just thought I'd ask/mention it in case you hadn't tried already.

Those worked, but as soon as I got into bootloader they stopped working.
That's strange because I know Windows 8 worked but when I updated to 8.1 it stopped.

Windows 8.1 changed unsigned driver policy. Again. Every version since Vista has made it increasingly more difficult to install drivers that are not WHQL verified.
Maybe they will get them updated

Be Advised, Under win8.1/X64 that if you have(like me) an Intel 8 /c220 (or with a 4th generation like intel I7 4770k) you may encounter a big mess , and perhaps you''l have to do a clean install of win 8.1 : all the usb2 DEVICES were disconnected after the first iusb3xhc.inf driver install !! So no more usb/Bluetooth keyboard+mouse , fortunately i had an old ps2 keyboard and i was able to delete only with "tab/alt Tab/ctrl tab" keys the "intel usb3 extensible " line in device manager, and as soon as i done a refresh (ALT+A) in device manager the previous driver(Microsoft) was reinstalled by win 8.1 andall the usb2 devices connected (mouse/keyb/hub etc)
http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/wind...host-controllers/comment-page-3#comment-19066
see there there's in the last comments at the bottom , Andrew(tks to him!)a link + modified drivers for intel8/c220)
and for me it worked mouse/keyB were functional during all the process
next step check the fastboot adb is working now
Try creating a live ubuntu CD and run that. You will then be able to use the Linux platform to adb without editing your boot partition on your pc.

[Q] Printer driver workaround for Surface RT based tablet?

Hello.
It's quite annoying to have windows on a tablet that doesn't support much printers at all.
I got a Samsung ML1630 b/w printer and I'd like to be able to print stuff from my Lenovo Yoga 11.
This printer is currently shared through a windows XP pc but I might be able to share it through OpenWRT in my router (TL-4300) (Untested)
Any suggestions?.
Your device doesn't use Windows RT (Lenovo Yoga 11) so you should be able to install the manufacturer's drivers.

Yoga 11 is windows RT on tegra 3.
You might be thinking of the yoga 11S instead.

I can not pick drivers from a list when I follow that guide.
I earlier accidentally installed the ML1630W driver on win7 but then the printer only printed "Error: Wrong driver used. Please use the correct driver!"
When i try to connect to my printer over the network, I get asked to add a driver, however, it always ends with:
Windows could not connect to the printer
operation failed with error 0x00000214

Do not use the XP shared printer. Try to share it using your router. I haven't seen anyone able to use in Windows RT a shared printer connected to an XP machine.
I will try that again soon, but i couldn't make it work yesterday. Need a good guide to do this...
