[GUIDE] How to install Qualcomm PC Drivers (if you are having installation trouble)

[moaster7]

These are the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM Windows Vista 32-bit drivers for those of you who are having trouble installing the drivers. I have only noticed this problem on Windows Vista, and therefore I have created this thread.

I have only tested the below procedure on Windows Vista 32-bit.

Please note that I am not responsible for any damages caused to your windows system as a result of wrongly in putting the codes below.

Also note that following the installation of the drivers by this method may result in Test Mode being displayed on your desktop wallpaper.

Let’s get started:
1) Download, extract and place the Qualcomm folder on your desktop.

Installing the certificate:
2) Double click on “qcusbtest.cer” and open it.
3) Click on “Install Certificate.”
4) Select “Place certificate in the following stores”
5) Place the certificate in “Trusted Root Certification Authorities.”
6) Click Next, then Finish.
7) Follow steps 2 to 4
8) Place the certificate in “Trusted Publishers”
9) Click Next, then Finish.
10) Run Command Prompt as administrator (Start>Type “Command Prompt”>Right-click on command prompt and select “Run as administrator”)

In the below steps replace the red [insert] boxes with the relevant configurations of your system.

Next:
11) On command prompt type:

cd C:\Users\[COLOR="Red"][Insert Your Windows Username Here][/COLOR]\Desktop\Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM\Drivers

12) Then type:

PnPUtil -i -a msmdm.inf

13) You should receive a success message.
14) Repeat for the other .inf files type:

PnPUtil -i -a qcmdm.inf

and then type:

PnPUtil -i -a qcser.inf

15) Reboot your PC

Now you should have the Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM drivers installed.

Just explain that you mean the PC drivers. Some might get confused and think you mean Qualcomm bootloaders in the phone.

looks like you need x64 drivers...

 

[svarog84]

Worked on x64 Windows 7. Thanks very much for this

 

[RHodgett]

hasn't worked for me, still shows up as drivers not installed in Device Manager. When I point towards the files it doesn't accept them or if I do a computer/internet search. Just says driver cannot be found.

Any ideas?

Yours sincereley,

does your phone come up as a flash disc in restore mode if it doesnt then you dont have a unlocked bootloader regardless if its a qualcomm, there were 2 versions from what i can gather one allows nand access and one doesnt sounds like you have the one that does not
