Troubleshooting

USB Driver problems

If the USB driver fails to load when the phone is in bootloader mode, install PdaNet for Android, and it's USB driver.

You can uninstall PdaNet after the USB drivers are installed, and the USB drivers will still work.
The usb drivers is installed in C:\Program Files\PdaNet for Android\usbwin or C:\Program Files (x86)\PdaNet for Android\usbwin.
To verify that the driver is working, set your phone in bootloader mode, and use the fastboot devices command, it should show the list of attached devices if the driver is working.

When phone won't see OTA update or when manual update fails

Do the following

  1. Manage apps - ALL - Google Services Framework
    • Press Force stop
    • Clear Data
  2. Reboot phone
  3. System settings - About phone - System updates
    • Press Check now
