Hi Guys,
I am writing this tutorial on how to install usb drivers for sp tools on pc for our Magnus device. I and my friends struggled a lot in installing these drivers so this is to help my other friends.
This will help even if you are not getting any popup or phone in device manager list.
Below are the steps, will also attach screen shots to make it easy.
1.Go to Control Panel and open Device Manager
2.Right click and select Add legacy hardware (also can be from from Action menu)
3.Add hardware wizard will be opened, click next
4.Select "Install hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)"
5.Click next and click Have Disk option
6.Click browse and find where your driver .inf file is (download from the link attached at end of post), then select it. (I selected usb2ser_Win764.inf, select usb2ser_Win7.inf if its 32-bit)
7.Click Open/Ok You will see drivers listed... Select your driver there and click next and finish installing. I have used Mediatek PreLoader USB VCOM Port.
8. Hit that thanks button on left
For Windows 8.
If you are getting error like: “The third party INF does not contain digital signature information”, you need to disable Driver signature enforcement in windows.
1. Open the Charms Bar, select “Settings” --> “Change PC Settings” --> select General
2. Scroll to the bottom of the General page and select “Restart Now” under “Advanced Start-Up”
3. Once the PC comes back up, select “Troubleshoot”
4. Select “Advanced Options”, select “Start-Up Settings” and select the Restart button
5. Press the F7 key (or the number 7 key) from your computer keyboard. This disables the Driver Signature Enforcement, which will allow you to install unsigned drivers.
After the PC reboots, install the drivers normally.
