Root In Need of A Favor (64-bit Windows Drivers)

[remanifest]

Hi everybody,
I've just made a simple exe file that I *believe* will automatically install the 64-bit drivers for Windows.

The problem is that I don't have a 64-bit copy of Windows to test it on, so I'm looking for someone here that would be willing to be the guinea pig on this. It won't break your system or anything ridiculous like that.

Essentially, I'd need you to remove whatever drivers you have installed for your phone (through device manager), then download my exe and try it out. The worst thing that could happen is that it doesn't work. The best thing is that it works, and your phone is recognized without messing around in the device manager, or mucking with inf files.

Benefit is to the entire community - if it works, hopefully it will gain widespread use, and people won't have so much trouble getting things to work on their 64-bit systems.

Anyone up for it? If so, here's the link. Please post with results, positive or negative.

I dont have access to a 64bit PC at the moment, Or Id try.

But I do! And I'm sad to say it doesn't work I get an error.

Error creating process <Command.com /c
C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000\install.bat>
Reason:The system cannot find the file specified.

Do what i did

Download HTC Sync here http://dl4.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/htc_sync_setup_3.3.21.exe

then run the EXE it should be able to install the Drivers if you don't have them

after the Drivers are install exit the installer (or Cancel) then you should have the Drivers without installing HTC Sync enjoy

But I believe HTC Sync installs two other things before it gets to the drivers, plus its over 100mb.

Thanks for the tip, but that's not what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm trying to make it work "out of the box" without workarounds or hassle.

Hmmm, I just noticed there was a space between "install." and "bat"... checking into it

Edit: there's no space on my end... that's odd. Working on a possible fix.

Hopefully it works

The . bat was a typo sorry.

 

[remanifest]

No worries - thanks again for your help! I made a change to the install file - wondering if you (or someone else) could try again? I've updated the original link to the new file.

Hi Andrew :hello:

 

[remanifest]

Bump for great justice?

Hi Andrew :hello:

^^I don't understand this, someone wanna let me in lol.

And i uninstalled the drivers for my phone and tried your installer and get this

Error creating process <Command.com /c
C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Local\Temp\IXP000\install.bat>.
Reason:The system cannot find the file specified.

(notice there's no space between the "." and "bat"

 

[gothicnerd1033]

Thats weird. It looks like theres a space, But if you try to quote it.. there isnt. LOL

Anyway, Could I try this on windows 8 x64? Thats all I have access to at this point.

Also, If you can give me both the x64 drivers, and the x86 files, I may be able to make a universal installer for both windows 32bit and 64bit.

Did you try the new file as well, with the same result?

Yes, these drivers should work on any 64-bit Windows from XP to 8. Your help would be awesome

If you have success you can use the drivers I've got in the S-OFF package to make a universal install

 

[gothicnerd1033]

There seems to be 2 folders in your download. one is Windows 7 x64, and the other "HTC Diag Drivers" folder includes both 32bit and 64bit... which should I use?

 

[remanifest]

If you're trying to test the [new] 64-bit drivers, use the link in the original post of this thread... if you're looking to do a universal install package, you'd use the 4.x HTC_Driver file in the drivers folder along with the file in the OP of this thread

 

[gothicnerd1033]

Yep. Getting the same error as the other person on Windows 8 x64. Let me give it a whack.

 

[gothicnerd1033]

The thing is, Id be making it with the drivers inside one .exe, Not one installer that controls 2 different exes. Its pretty simple. Just need the actual driver files instead of the installers.

 

[remanifest]

You've got the 64 bit drivers in the S-OFF package - they're the same as the ones in the exe linked in this thread. I just extracted the drivers from the [x86] HTC_Driver 4.x package as well... here's a zip of the pertinent files.

EDIT: If you need the 64-bit drivers as a single zip file, here they are.

 

[gothicnerd1033]

Give me a few minutes. I have the installer made. Testing it out on my systems. This even includes Windows 8. B)

Ugh hold on. Had a minor glitch in the file path.

 

[remanifest]

Once you've verified it works on your system I'll be happy to test it on my 32-bit copy.

 

[remanifest]

This in a batch file is supposed to make the batch set its directory to wherever it's extracted by the installer:

pushd "%~dp0"

Not sure if that's what you need?
