Sony Ericsson cell phone

[Guest C.D. Koger]

Just bought a Z320i with integrated camera for my wife. Paid 10 times too

much for an USB cable, needed to transfer pictures to her laptop. But

WIN98SE wants a driver for this device and cannot find one.....

No drivers included, no info on the mfr's website.

The closest I could find were drivers for a Z520i:

 

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/products/softwaredownloads/z520i?cc=hk&lc=en

 

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/products/software/z520i/sonyericssonz520usbdrivers17813?cc=hk&lc=en

 

The file name being:

 

Z520_Signed_USB_drivers.zip

 

According to this:

 

http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/products/software/z320i/

 

"Unfortunately there is no support available in this category for the

product you have selected. Click below to see all available support

for your product."

 

My guess is that the file you're looking for would be named

Z320_Signed_USB_drivers.zip but a search turns up zero hits on that.

 

Maybe try the Z520i driver ???

 

Maybe modify the Z520i inf files?

As stated in the documents for the Z320i:

Transferring pictures to your computer.

 

Using a USB cable, you can drag and drop camera pictures to a computer running

Microsoft Windows 2000 or Microsoft Windows XP. See the Managing Files Getting

Started Guide, available at:

Thanks for trying. I offered win98 the location where I put the Z520

drivers, but it found nothing useful there.

 

USB-View reports the connected device as:

Device Descriptor:

bcdUSB: 0x0110

bDeviceClass: 0x00

bDeviceSubClass: 0x00

bDeviceProtocol: 0x00

bMaxPacketSize0: 0x40 (64)

idVendor: 0x0FCE

idProduct: 0xE0AE

bcdDevice: 0x0110

iManufacturer: 0x00

iProduct: 0x00

iSerialNumber: 0x00

bNumConfigurations: 0x01

 

ConnectionStatus: DeviceConnected

Current Config Value: 0x00

Device Bus Speed: Full

Device Address: 0x04

Open Pipes: 0

 

When I retired, USB was in its infant stage, so I lack a lot of knowledge,

but I assume that the OS will search for an INF file that contains the

Vendor or Product ID. Looking through the Z520i files, I see nothing

similar.

 

Btw, WinXP rummaged through its internal data for about 5 minutes, installed

a Sony USB stick driver and showed the phone/camera as a removable drive.

Try modifying the 520 files so that your Vendor and Product ID replace

the ones in the file.

Cornelis,

If modifying the .inf file does not work, try installing the "unofficial" Native USB

Mass Storage Driver for Win98SE:

http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/kb/usbmsd98.php

 

Although not specifically for cell phones, it may see it as a removable drive, the

way XP does. It's worth a try.

Sorry for not responding sooner. My new provider kept saying there were no

new messages. Their usenet policy is not quite clear to me yet, they seem to

concentrate on local groups and pornography. But they are cheap.

 

The laptop in question is a Compaq. As you probably know, that is a hostile

environment for a lot of software that runs impeccably on normal machines.

Following the instructions for the Native USB Mass Storage Driver, I removed

all existing USB devices. After reboot the mouse was dead and the screen

looked like one of these Rohrschach tests they use in psycho analysis...

Fortunately Win98 has a safe mode.

Modifying the *.inf files also doesn't work. USB-View shows only hex info,

the *.inf contain alphanumerics.

Thanks for trying,

I assume then that you are using a USB mouse. Removing the USB entries in Device

Manager will of course prervent the USB ports from working. You should use a PS/2

mouse while doing this preocedure.

 

I'm not sure how you got the display problems. Which version of the Native driver

did you install, and did you choose the correct driver package (Win98 or Win989SE)?

There are both versions 2.x and 3.x. I have had better luck with their 2.x version,

but others may have different views.

I'll give it another try tomorrow.

That the display went crazy must have been caused by static electricity or

from plugging in AC power. I used the reset button to reboot and went to

safe mode to reenable the drivers. The display was OK then.

I downloaded Maximus Decim Native USB ver. 3.2 for 98SE, English.

There is one driver called openhci.sys version 4.10.2222 for what the device

manager calls "Compaq PCI to USB Open Host Controller". I disabled that one

also. Was that perhaps wrong?

OK, let's back up a minute. First of all, you should NOT be DISABLING anything in

Device Manager.

 

I believe the instructions for version 3.x drivers at the Maximus Decim website may

be misleading. The version 3.x drivers install support for USB mass storage devices

and also for USB 2.0 ports if you have USB 2.0-capable ports in your system.

 

Before installing, you are to uninstall any installed drivers for your USB mass

storage devices (flash drives, hard drive enclosures, etc). Those drivers should

have an uninstall entry in Add/Remove Programs.

 

If you have a USB 2.0-capable system, I suspect all the USB Root Hubs, and the USB

*Enhanced* Host Controller, would have to be removed from Device Manager, but I

don't see why the standard USB Controller would need to be removed. If your system

only has USB 1.1-capable ports (and if it came with Win98SE loaded originally, it is

pre-USB 2.0), there should be no reason to remove *any* of the USB Controllers or

Root Hubs.

 

I do not use the version 3.x Maximus Decim driver; I use the version 2.x driver,

which does not add support for USB 2.0.....I don't need it because although my

system has USB 2.0 ports, it already has USB 2.0 drivers for Win98SE installed from

my motherboard manufacturer's driver disc, and there is no good reason to replace

them with a generic.

 

Likewise, if your system only has USB 1.1 ports, you don't need USB 2.0 support.

You can still install the version 3.x drivers, and it will supposedly simply not

install USB 2.0 support on your system....but in that case I see no need to remove

any of the USB entries from Device Manager.

 

Just UNINSTALL via Add/Remove Programs any manufacturer's drivers for the flash

drives or the phone or whatever. What you DO need to do in Device Manager with

either version of the driver, is remove all entries in the "Other" category, if it

exists....and you must be sure you have NOT DISABLED any of the USB Controllers or

Hubs. If there is an entry for your phone as a storage device, remove it also, so

there is no entry anywhere that references the device you are planning to support.

 

I don't recall if I mentioned it in this thread earlier (I have in others), I use

version 2.4e rather than the 3.x version you downloaded, and it has worked with

every flash drive I have tried. It is a simpler installation and probably all you

need to test if the generic driver will work with your phone.

 

Uninstall the version 3.x driver via Add/Remove, make sure your USB Root Hubs and

Host Controllers are enabled in Device Manager, reboot, then download and install

version 2.4e of the generic driver for 98SE:

http://www.technical-assistance.co.uk/drivers/nusb24e.exe

 

Run the installer, then reboot, and insert your device to see if it works.

Installed "nusb24e.exe" the way you indicated. After connecting a Samsung

stick, Windows went through the motion of searching for and installing a

mass storage driver twice, then decided the device could be used. The stick

was accessible as a removable disk. But the camera is completely ignored.

The difference between the two is probably that the stick immediately shouts

it is a storage device, but the camera upon detection of a powered USB cable

starts a program that mimics such a device. There is a 3-4 seconds delay

before the program is active, it is released as soon as the USB plug is

pulled out. But is was worth a try....
