This should work for
any device you want to get recognized in Windows 10/Windows 8.1.
This tutorial is an update to the MSFT blogpost :
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/us...ows-8-0-but-fail-on-windows-8-1-with-code-43/
Basically, we need to allow Windows to recognize this device, this is similar to
whitelisting.
*EDIT* Please have the correct device drivers at your disposal, you should be able to install these after the device was recognized.
1. Download
Microsoft Message Analyzer (MMA) :
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44226
2. Install correct version (x64 for 64 bit systems, if applicable) NEXT, NEXT, FINISH
3. Open up device manager via command prompt : Windows-key,
'mmc devmgmt.msc', enter
4.
Connect your device
5. You device will not get recognized and will appear with
getBOSDescriptor failed or
USB device not recognized
6.
Disconnect device
7. Launch MMA, N
o not update items,
No I do not want to participate
8. Click on
'New Session' on the start page
9. Select
'Live trace'
10. In
EWT providers,
'Select Scenario', select
'DEVICE',
'USB 2'
10.1 In case you are using a
USB 3 port to recognize the device, select
'USB 3'
11. Press
Start and
connect your device once the trace has started
12. Once the message window
'USB device not recognized' appears, stop the trace
13. Now we need to dig into the tracing logs
14. Add a column by
right-clicking on any column header and select
'Add Columns'
15. In the field chooser search bar type :
'usbdevice'
16. Select
'UsbDevice' from the
Global Properties
17. Now
right-click on the
UsbDevice column and select
Group
18. Enter the following in the filter field :
'*GetDeviceDescriptor.DeviceDescriptor.bcdUSB > 0x0200' and press
'Apply'
19. You should see results with
'Get Full Device Descriptor' in the summary column
20. Select
any of these results, I took the first one
21. In the details below, open the
DeviceDescriptor section
22. Please note down the values for the following names:
idVendor,
idProduct and
bcdDevice
23. These should be something like : '0x04E8', '0x6601', '0x0100'
24.
Remove the
'0x' from each of those values, this should give you '04E8', '6601', '0100' for the idVendor, idProduct and bcdDevice respectively.
25. Now make one value by
concatenating these together : '04E866010100'
26. Open the Registry editor :
Windows-key,
'regedit',
enter
27. Drill down to the following path :
'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags'
28.
Right-click on the 'usbflags' folder and select
'New',
'Key'
29. Enter your
concatenated value : '04E866010100' and press
enter
30.
Find your newly created key and create a new DWORD value in the second section of the registry editor :
right-click,
New,
DWORD (32 bit) Value
31. Name it '
SkipBOSDescriptorQuery' and open it after creation (
double click)
32. For value data, enter
'1' and press '
OK'
33.
Disconnect your device and
reconnect, it should be recognized now
DISCLAIMER
---------------
Download mode, Recovery, USB Debugging : all these modes have
different Device Descriptors, you will need to
repeat this process for every mode you want to use your device in Windows 10/8.1
I've managed to get this working on my pc running Windows 10 (1511) and the following devices :
Samsung GT-I9001
HTC DESIRE BRAVO
HTC DESIRE HD
MOTO G XT1032
Please thank me in case this helped you.
