Fastboot in win 8.1
FASTBOOT IN WIN 8.1
finally guys i got it working. dont know this method was shared earlier than in this
thread by
@n70shan.
things u need
1. windows 8.1 installed pc of course . with flashtool and drivers installed.
2 little file called
Take ownership
3 usb files form WIN 8
for x86 system
for x64 sysem
go to C > windows > System32 > drivers and copy and save usbhub.sys and usbport.sys in some location just in case if this didnt work for you. you can replace them back and have the PC going without any issue if something goes wrong . which is highly unlikely
install InstallTakeOwnership.reg from the take ownership zip.
go to C > windows > System32 > drivers
right click and select take ownership for the 2 usb files ( usbhub.sys and usbport.sys )
copy paste from the given usb files to your pc and replace the current
reboot
now you should have fastboot and flashmode without any issue in your Win 8.1
so the concept is given . u can do your little investigations and get it work in your PC just in case my usb files didnt work in your pc. i got my x86 usb files by installing Win 8 in a partition of my pc just to get the files
have fun and distribute this to everyone cos i know this was a rally big issue for many for many many time
have fun . cheers
